Chapter 1290 - 1294: The Threshold of Life and Death

Sponsored

"What are you doing here?" Lin Feng was a bit startled. Originally, his cultivation was about the same as Lu Lu’s. If she intentionally concealed her presence, it would be hard for him to detect her. Moreover, he had just been meditating, not aware of when Lu Lu arrived outside his room.

"I sensed it, you were just trying to break through the Life and Death Barrier..." Lu Lu had a very peaceful smile on her face, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in her words, "Progressing to the mid-stage of Innate is never that easy! I knew you would fail, so I was waiting here to see your misfortune. As expected, you couldn’t break through the Life and Death Barrier so quickly!"

"Life and Death Barrier?" Lin Feng stared blankly at Lu Lu, subconsciously asking, "What is the Life and Death Barrier?! I was just trying to break through the external circulation blockade of the Yinwei pulse!"

"You actually don’t know?" Lu Lu was stunned. She really couldn’t imagine Lin Feng recklessly doing something without knowing anything.

"Let me ask you, do you have Innate Vitality within you, and is Inner Strength circulating externally through the twelve meridians and eight extraordinary pulses? Only the last Yinwei pulse remains, which feels completely blocked, and no matter what experiments you try, there’s no reaction?" Lu Lu asked Lin Feng.

"That’s right!" Lin Feng nodded, Lu Lu had accurately described his current situation.

"That’s what the cultivation world calls the Life and Death Barrier... If you successfully break through, you’ll enter the mid-stage of Innate cultivation. If you fail, at best, all Inner Strength dissipates, at worst, your meridians could be shattered and you’d die on the spot! For every cultivator, this stage requires extreme caution, even preparing a large quantity of life-saving elixirs and attempting only when the energies and spirit are fully charged!" Lu Lu’s tone carried a hint of mockery, "I really admire you! You’ve been at this stage for less than a month and are trying to break through the Life and Death Barrier with unstable other meridians, truly acting fearless like a newborn calf!"

"I didn’t expect such severe consequences..." Lin Feng suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back. Out of nowhere, he thought of the Nine Revolutions Life Extension Pill gifted to him by Lu Yuming, and maliciously speculated whether Old Lu intended this pill to save him during a magical backlash. But why didn’t he warn me?

Could it be... that Lu Yuming left his granddaughter here to guide my cultivation? Lin Feng suddenly thought of this possibility. He turned to look at Lu Lu again, wondering if she was really that kind-hearted.

As it turned out, Lu Lu was indeed that kind-hearted...

"If you don’t want to die, come let me check your meridians to see if they’re damaged!" Lu Lu glared at Lin Feng with extreme disdain before stepping into Lin Feng’s room ahead of him and sitting on his bed.

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, even suspicious that Lu Lu might use this chance to harm him. However, he quickly dismissed the idea... because just the fact that she had given him the Forbidden Breaking Pill once made him want to trust her this time.

Reaching out to close the door with a smack, Lin Feng turned back and obediently sat on the bed.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll harm you?" Lu Lu chuckled, teasingly asking.

"I doubt you have the guts for that..." Lin Feng bluffed confidently.

"Hehe..." Lu Lu laughed playfully. Something in Lin Feng’s words seemed to amuse her greatly, causing her to laugh with great joy.

"Take off your clothes..." After finally regaining her composure, Lu Lu coldly ordered Lin Feng.

Without thinking much, Lin Feng followed her command. When he was left in his boxers, leaning on the bed with Lu Lu, he felt a peculiar sensation, intoxicated by the faint fragrance coming from Lu Lu...

The scent on Lu Lu seemed somewhat similar to that of Xue Qingyi, yet somehow different. Lin Feng couldn’t pinpoint exactly where the difference lay, but he enjoyed it immensely.

He unconsciously leaned a bit closer to Lu Lu, not noticing the slight smug smile on her lips.

At this time, Lu Lu was wearing a thin silk nightgown. Obviously, such high-end clothing wasn’t the kind she had bought that afternoon. It wasn’t clear whether Su Zi or Ning Aoxue gave it to her... Judging from how well it fit her, it was more likely Su Zi’s clothing.

"Now relax your mind, don’t think too much, and refrain from mobilizing your Inner Strength. I’ll check you!" Lu Lu extended her slender jade palm and placed it on Lin Feng’s back, slowly infusing a thread of Inner Strength to begin examining Lin Feng’s meridians.

Lin Feng only felt an extremely peaceful Inner Strength transmitting from Lu Lu’s hand, slowly penetrating into his body and gently directing towards the blocked Yinwei pulse...

"Hmph!"

A sudden sharp pain caused Lin Feng to instinctively groan. He felt as if his heart was suddenly pierced by a needle, the extreme pain nearly making him lose consciousness. Consequently, he involuntarily leaned back, collapsing onto Lu Lu with no strength.

"As expected, it’s injured..." Lu Lu, seemingly prepared for this, furrowed her brow and instinctively opened her arms to embrace Lin Feng.

Lu Lu’s body was soft and gentle, making Lin Feng feel very comfortable. However, at this moment, he couldn’t ponder any other issues. Panic rose within him, and he urgently wanted to know what went wrong with his body...

"While attempting to break through, your Yinwei pulse got injured! Fortunately, you realized something was wrong and withdrew your Inner Strength quickly. Most of the meridian’s acupoints remain intact! Plus, with your strong Inner Strength, your body will gradually repair itself, so you didn’t notice the problem!" Lu Lu explained calmly, addressing the turmoil within Lin Feng’s body.

"You know medicine?" Lin Feng finally sat up from Lu Lu, awkwardly glanced at her, and asked offhandedly.

"Just a little. Which cultivator doesn’t know about the meridians?" Lu Lu said calmly, "Within ten days, it’s best not to attempt another breakthrough, otherwise you’ll die!"

Lin Feng nodded, realizing that his reckless attempts had caused internal issues, he dared not act impulsively anymore.

"By the way... thanks for this time!"

Just as Lu Lu was about to leave, Lin Feng couldn’t hold back, murmuring a thank you.

"If it’s so hard to say, you might as well not have said it!" Lu Lu shot Lin Feng a cold smile and said flatly, "Also, just because I helped you this time, doesn’t mean I have no grudges against you. Let me tell you, everything you said and did to me today, I remember it very clearly!"

"This..." Lin Feng felt even more embarrassed.
