Chapter 58
The night was peaceful, and the sky was dotted with stars.
Lin Feng sat on a rock by the campfire, his right foot shaking incessantly.
“Why hasn’t Junior Sister Qingning come back yet?” he muttered.
By now, several hours had passed since Qingning had left.
Logically speaking, it should have been enough even if she wanted some quiet time.
It should be over by now even if she ‘wanted to be alone’!
“Could she have encountered danger?” Lin Feng speculated.
“That girl has extraordinary luck. She won’t die,” Old Man Tianji replied.
“What do you know? No matter how strong a woman is, deep down, she hopes to be protected!” Lin Feng said disdainfully.
He knew Qingning would be fine.But how could he miss it if there was a chance to play the hero and save the beauty?
Perhaps he could take this opportunity to win Qingning over!
Thinking this, Lin Feng couldn’t sit still.
Suddenly standing up, he grabbed the black blade beside him and plunged into the dense forest.
The moment he entered the forest, the chirping of insects around him abruptly stopped, several dark figures swept past him, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
“Love blinds wisdom! The mountain range at night is very dangerous. Be careful not to lose your life!” Old Man Tianji cursed.
“One can’t get the girl if they’re not willing to risk their safety!”
Lin Feng laughed, not taking it seriously: “Besides, have you ever heard of a Son of Destiny dying while on the way to find a woman?”
Old Man Tianji was speechless.
Lin Feng then runs around like a blind man in the forest, startling many animals.
For safety’s sake, he had to say: “To the right, about ten li of mountain road! The girl is there.”
“How do you know?” Lin Feng was surprised.
“Just now, I sensed the presence of that White Tiger. It’s strange, normally a major demon wouldn’t release its presence carelessly to avoid bringing trouble upon itself. There’s no battle over there, so it seems like the White Tiger is doing it on purpose.”
“Of course it’s deliberate! Qingning Junior Sister is signaling for me to come over!”
“You’re just going to go because she asked you to? Haven’t you heard that the most poisonous thing is a woman’s heart?”
“Of course I’ve heard it, and I’ve seen it too! But you see, even the most venomous woman turns into a virtuous wife and good mother in my presence!”
“…”
Old Man Tianji was speechless again.
If that’s the case, there’s no point in talking!
Despite the banter, Lin Feng still valued his own life very much.
He held his black blade, crouched low, and moved stealthily through the dense forest.
During this time, he felt several powerful presences, but fortunately, they were just observing from a distance and showed no intention of approaching him.
Finally, after half an hour, Lin Feng emerged from the dense forest, and his view suddenly widened.
He looked into the distance. There, a young girl was working amidst large boulders under the moonlight.
Indeed, she was working.
The girl held a shovel with a handle made of green spirit wood and a superior sulfur bronze blade, tirelessly digging into the purple soil beneath her feet.
Occasionally, she would wipe the sweat from her forehead and chat with the White Tiger beside her.
Although the White Tiger blinked blankly most of the time, the girl still let out bell-like laughter.
“Qingning Junior Sister’s laughter is so heartwarming!” Lin Feng sighed with emotion.
Just the sound of her laughter was enough to sweep away all his fatigue!
With that thought, he put away his black blade and approached with a faint smile.
“Qingning Junior Sister, what are you doing?” Lin Feng asked as he reached Qingning’s side.
“Guess?” Qingning turned back and smiled.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment.
Although Qingning’s smile was still as adorable as ever, he felt that something was off!
Before he could think further, Qingning pointed to the ground and said,
“This is Zijun Blood Soil.”
“Zijun Blood Soil?”
Lin Feng blinked, having never heard of it.
“This girl’s luck is truly good.”
Hearing this, Old Man Tianji explained,
“Zijun Blood Soil is a sixth-grade spirit soil. It appears purple with hints of red and turns to blood when it meets water. It’s a type of heavy spirit soil that can suppress soul power. Just this piece under her feet weighs a thousand jin! If used in treasure refinement, its power is extraordinary! More importantly, beneath Zijun Blood Soil, there is often at least one treasure of the same grade nourished!”
Sixth-grade spirit soil?
Lin Feng’s eyes immediately lit up.
Such a level of spirit soil, let alone the Lower Domain, even many sects in the Central Domain didn’t possess it!
What’s more, there was a treasure of the same grade below!
This was a sure sign of striking it rich!
“Do you want this Zijun Blood Soil, Lin Senior Brother?” Qingning asked with a smile.
“Of course… not!”
Lin Feng straightened his expression and said seriously, “This Zijun Blood Soil was discovered by Junior Sister, so naturally, it belongs to Junior Sister. Junior Sister, do you think I covet your opportunity?”
No sooner had he finished speaking.
“Are you an idiot? You’ve come to the Central Domain, but the black blade in your hand is only of medium grade! If you refine it with this Zijun Blood Soil, the black blade could certainly be upgraded to superior grade!” Old Man Tianji cursed loudly.
“What are you yelling about?”
Lin Feng retorted unhappily in his mind, “This is called retreating in order to advance! Understand? I have saved Qingning’s life. Wouldn’t she share a bit with me?”
“Hmph, then go cry about it if she really doesn’t give it to you!” Old Man Tianji snorted coldly.
Lin Feng couldn’t be bothered with him and looked back at Qingning, saying, “Junior Sister, please continue gathering the soil. Senior Brother will not lay a finger on it!”
“Really?” Qingning squinted her eyes.
“Of course!”
“Alright then, I won’t give it to Senior Brother.”
Lin Feng was taken aback!
This wasn’t how the plot was supposed to go!
Why wasn’t she giving it to him anymore?
He had been prepared to refuse once, twice, and only reluctantly accept on the third offer!
“Haha, I knew you’d eventually fall into a woman’s hands!” Old Man Tianji laughed heartily.
Lin Feng felt a wave of embarrassment.
Seeing that Qingning was truly ignoring him and continuing to dig up the soil, he said, “Junior Sister, this Zijun blood soil is as heavy as a thousand jin. You must be tired, how about Senior Brother helps you?”
“Okay.”
Qingning happily agreed, tossed the spiritual shovel to Lin Feng, and then ran to sit by White Tiger’s side.
Leaning against White Tiger, she hugged her knees and smiled, “Senior Brother Lin, go for it. No matter how much you dig up, it’s all yours.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was instantly invigorated!
He estimated the Zijun blood soil beneath him to be six zhang long and two zhang wide, with an unknown depth.
Even if it was only one zhang deep, if he dug it all up, it would be enough to refine the black blade, and he could even sell a good amount!
How could he not dig with all his might?
The chance to make a fortune is right here!
