The Poison Ancestor led the people from the Star Domain Alliance Commerce to evaluate the price of the Ancient Starship, while Lin Feng continued waiting inside the commerce.

There were high-level members of the Star Domain Alliance seated there, and Li Shiyuan personally went to report to these high-ranking members about Lin Feng exchanging Spirit Fruit over five million years old for Divine-level Star Stones.

After discussing, several high-level members of the Star Domain Alliance Commerce decided to exchange one hundred Divine-level Star Stones with Lin Feng for Spirit Fruit.

Divine-level Star Stones are precious, so being able to exchange for a hundred of them made Lin Feng quite satisfied.

Soon after, the Poison Ancestor returned.

According to the commerce's valuation, one Ancient Starship was worth fifteen million supreme Star Stones.

Twenty-five Ancient Starships totaled three hundred seventy-five million supreme Star Stones.

After completing these two transactions, Lin Feng and the Poison Ancestor returned to their residence, intending to rest for two days before continuing on to the Heavenly Martial Continent.

"The long night is endless, no heart for sleep, come, I'll treat and we can drink wine with women." The Poison Ancestor grinned and said, feeling bored, he wanted to go out for a bit of fun.

Lin Feng said, "You go ahead, I'm not in the mood to go out tonight."

The Poison Ancestor thus went out by himself, while Lin Feng stayed at the residence.

In the courtyard, there was a hot spring pool; Lin Feng first took a hot spring bath, washing away all his fatigue.

Then Lin Feng sat on the rooftop, gazing at the bright moon, drinking wine alone.

"What lies above the moon? The legendary Chang'e Immortal? Jade Rabbit Spirit? Guanghan Palace?" Lin Feng mused to himself.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled a poem composed by a Confucian master from the Ancient Era.

When will the moon be clear and bright? With a cup of wine in hand, I ask the azure sky. I do not know what heaven has in store for tonight; I yearn to ride the wind and fly back there, but dare not issue on high; the jade palace casts its shadow, and cold would it be. Dancing with my own shadow, away though it is from the human world?

Turning around the red mansion, stooping through the adorned corridors, shining upon the sleepless, shouldn't bear resentment; why always full upon separation's face? People go through joys and sorrows, coming together and falling apart; the moon has cloudy and sunny days, and waxes and wanes; such things have been hard since ancient times. May we all be blessed with longevity, though miles apart as if in close company.

…

Reciting this poem now, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel myriad emotions in his heart.

These years of wandering outside, finding it hard to gather with loved ones and parting from family, was just like the moon's phases.

Yet, no matter what difficulties arise.

Lin Feng knew.

He must persist onward himself.

The world of cultivators is just as cruel as that; if one does not strive to advance, one will be eliminated by the cruel laws of the cultivator world.

Survival of the fittest, only the adaptable survive.

…

In a half-drunken daze, Lin Feng suddenly saw a sneaky shadow approaching from afar.

The figure came to the outside of the courtyard where Lin Feng was.

"It's her..."

Lin Feng's brow slightly furrowed; the visitor was the female cultivator named Huo Yihan from earlier that day.

This woman's figure was petite and delicate, but her temper was extremely fiery.

Had it not been for the intervention of the woman in the white palace gown, this Huo Yihan would have definitely fought with the Poison Ancestor.

"Is she here to teach the Poison Ancestor a lesson?" Lin Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The situation was exactly as Lin Feng had predicted, Huo Yihan was indeed here to handle the Poison Ancestor.

This Huo Yihan's temper was extremely fiery; the Poison Ancestor whistled and teased her group of master sisters, how could Huo Yihan possibly swallow this insult?

However, due to the intervention of the woman in the white palace gown, Huo Yihan had to temporarily suppress her anger.

Now that night had deepened.

Her group of master sisters had already rested.

Therefore, Huo Yihan secretly came out to Lin Feng and the Poison Ancestor's small courtyard.

The courtyard was protected by a prohibition; a token was needed to activate it.

But this Huo Yihan seemed quite skilled in formations, manipulating a spell with two hands.

Runes intertwined and were cast into the prohibition guarding the courtyard.

Suddenly, the light shield of the prohibition opened, and Huo Yihan walked in, gently pushing open the courtyard door, sneaking inside, and with a few leaps, entered the room.

After searching around, Huo Yihan couldn't find Lin Feng or the Poison Ancestor inside the room.

She stormed out angrily, muttering softly, "Two grown men not in their place at midnight, most likely went out to drink wine with women, knew these two weren't anything good."

At this moment, Lin Feng coughed from the rooftop, startling Huo Yihan, who turned to see Lin Feng jumping down.

Lin Feng said, "Coming to others' residence in the middle of the night and cursing the host as nothing good, isn't this behavior a bit too much?"

Seeing Lin Feng, Huo Yihan snorted coldly and said, "Where is that other fellow?"

Lin Feng shrugged, saying, "He went out for an errand, probably will come back tomorrow, why? Coming to find him at midnight, do you have personal matters to handle? Could it be you've taken a fancy to that guy?"

"Can't expect ivory from a dog's mouth."

Huo Yihan glared at Lin Feng viciously, waving her right hand, and immediately, a treasure sword flew out.

The treasure sword hovered above Huo Yihan, then split into three, buzzing and vibrating with countless Sword Qi, emitting chilling sharp rays.

Lin Feng said, "What are you doing? Do you intend to fight me? If you want to fight, go after that guy, I didn't provoke you, why fight me?"

Huo Yihan coldly said, "That guy is your friend, isn't he? I see you're both birds of a feather."

Lin Feng said, "He's not my friend, that guy is my guard."

"Hmph! A guard going out for leisure? Leaving his master alone in the residence? You think I'll believe that?" Huo Yihan snorted, obviously not believing Lin Feng's words.

Lin Feng said, "Who's to say I'm such a kind person? Treating subordinates like brothers, if he wants to go out, let him."

Huo Yihan sneered, "Save your lies, I don't believe your nonsense, since that guy's absent, I'll deal with you first, then handle that scoundrel."

Lin Feng said, "There's still time to leave now, if you continue to mess around here, do you want to believe I'll make you a warm bed maid?"

"Such shameless boasting! You think I'll turn you into a eunuch?"

Huo Yihan snorted coldly, directly controlling the three flying swords to attack Lin Feng.
