His reason for hiding in Fengcheng was that he didn't want to be involved in the conflicts of the world. He once saw his master and fellow disciples strive for the sect, only to meet poor ends. Thus, he chose to live in seclusion here, and no one could persuade him to leave. On the day he made his decision, he swore to spend his life researching formations and only doing what he enjoyed. Although he didn't dislike Lin Feng, and even had a keen interest in Lin Feng, it was impossible to change his original intention.
Thinking it over, Lin Feng felt that leaving things as they were would be a pity. He truly wanted to retain such talent, and besides, he'd received the cold shoulder several times before when seeking alchemists. The harder the task, the more interested he became.
