Free Web NovelChapter 1491: Chapter 1338: My Younger Brother Is the Villain 35
Nie Shuangshuang stood on the Thousand Silk Entanglement, surveying the surroundings, and found that this forest was indeed vast, with numerous swamps scattered throughout, all looking extremely dangerous.
She released her Divine Sense, and although it was severely suppressed, for Nie Shuangshuang’s immense Divine Sense, it was not a big deal. She continuously extended her Divine Sense, sweeping in all directions.
With the sweep of her Divine Sense, Nie Shuangshuang detected clearly that except for the southeast direction which had a mountain range, the other three sides were endless forested swamps that stretched beyond sight.
Nie Shuangshuang landed on the ground and said to Feng Qiao and Gong Junbao, "Let’s head towards the southeast direction."
Feng Qiao looked around at their surroundings and sighed, "We can’t fly, and below are all swamps. It seems we have no choice but to walk."
Gong Junbao’s eyes, however, fell on a spirit plant with a small sky-blue flower in the grass, his eyes shining, "It’s Lan Lingxiang! This is top-grade immortal grass, the main ingredient for making Barrier-breaking Pills!"
Barrier-breaking Pills are essential elixirs for breaking through from the Divine Split Stage to the Out-of-Body Stage, always causing a frenzy whenever they appear, yet still rare and hard to find.
Aside from the difficulty in refining Barrier-breaking Pills, the most important reason is that the main ingredient Lan Lingxiang is extremely hard to find, yet it happened to be discovered here.
Feng Qiao, being knowledgeable, also noticed immediately when Gong Junbao spoke, her eyes also lit up, but she didn’t move immediately. Instead, she drew her Longsword Feiyu and guardedly watched the surroundings of the Lan Lingxiang.
It is common that near these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, there will always be accompanying spirit beasts or powerful demon beasts guarding them, making it difficult for people to pick them.
Knowing this, Gong Junbao was so excited his hands trembled slightly, yet he still forced himself not to rashly advance, while Feng Qiao was also on full alert.
At the moment, Feng Qiao and Gong Junbao were very close to this stalk of Lan Lingxiang, yet neither dared to make a move, Feng Qiao stayed on high alert for a long time, and did not sense any demon beast’s presence around.
Meanwhile, Nie Shuangshuang was busy helping Feng Feiyu by massaging his head with Spiritual Energy. Feng Feiyu, who had been dizzy for a long time, finally regained himself, but his head was still a bit dizzy, and at the moment, he refused to move while nestled in Nie Shuangshuang’s arms.
On the other side, seeing there were no demon beasts, Gong Junbao could hardly hold himself back. To a Pill Master, a piece of top-grade spiritual medicine appearing right before them is even more attractive than a peerless beauty.
"Perhaps, because this spiritual medicine grows in a Secret Realm, there might not be demon beasts guarding it?" Gong Junbao tentatively looked at Feng Qiao, his fingers itching slightly as he gestured a few times.
Feng Qiao was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Nie Shuangshuang, "Master Nie, what do you think?"
Nie Shuangshuang gave a brief glance, for Lan Lingxiang did not hold much allure for her, thus she was not very concerned about this spiritual medicine.
She merely glanced disinterestedly and said nonchalantly, "The demon beast is underground." After speaking, she turned her attention back to Feng Feiyu.
Seizing the opportunity of Feng Feiyu’s unexpected closeness, Nie Shuangshuang was thinking of using the chance to nurture a relationship, very reluctant to waste time picking any spiritual medicine.
Leaning his still somewhat dizzy head on Nie Shuangshuang’s chest, Feng Feiyu’s Spiritual Power had not fully recovered, and he felt uncomfortable in every part of his body.
Feng Feiyu felt he was bringing trouble upon himself. His body had not yet recovered, terribly strained, yet he was following them to this Secret Realm to mess around.
Moreover, Feng Feiyu only knew in his past life that Gong Junbao and Feng Qiao each obtained an inheritance from this Secret Realm, gaining great benefits, but knew little else.
He had no idea what Gong Junbao and Feng Qiao actually experienced in this Secret Realm, what dangers they encountered, which meant Feng Feiyu’s foreknowledge was of no use here.
Now, Feng Feiyu suddenly felt some regret. Since his rebirth, he had always grasped the direction of many future events. Although he had nothing, he did not feel panicked inside.
But now, realizing that he no longer knew the future’s direction, he felt as if he had suddenly lost a guiding pointer on the road ahead, making him feel a lot of bewilderment inside.
At this moment, he truly could only rely on Nie Shuangshuang, but could he really rely on her? This Inheritance Secret Realm tests entrants’ qualifications and Spirit Root; what if it exposed the fact that he used to be an Evil Cultivator?
Feng Feiyu wasn’t sure, nor did he dare to be sure if, after discovering he was once an Evil Cultivator, whether Nie Shuangshuang would still treat him so well.
Nie Shuangshuang sensed Feng Feiyu’s body in her arms becoming increasingly tense, realizing that this suspicious younger brother was again thinking of something troublesome.
Sighing helplessly, Nie Shuangshuang found it somewhat tricky. This Feng Feiyu was just like a snail carrying a shell, any disturbance, or even just a figment of imagination, would make him retract into his shell, leaving no opening for approach.
Facing such a little snail that could turn dark at any moment, Nie Shuangshuang had no solution. What could be done, but to grind it out little by little with him?
While Nie Shuangshuang was troubled and Feng Feiyu was worried, Feng Qiao had already fought fiercely with the underground demon beast for three hundred rounds, finally managing to kill this demon beast that seemed both like a bug and a blind snake.
On the other side, Gong Junbao happily took out a complete set of tools, opening the toolbox filled with all sorts of tools needed for harvesting spiritual medicine.
Another box opened, containing various items for storing spiritual medicine, their storage methods varied widely.
Some spiritual medicine needed to be stored in extremely cold boxes carved from Century-Glacier, while others required extremely hot boxes carved from Flame Stone.
Some spiritual medicine needed different material wooden boxes, some required different Jade Boxes. Some had to stay fresh, some needed to be immediately dried with Spiritual Power, and the storage needs varied greatly.
This Lan Lingxiang was very delicate; during storage, it must not leave the soil where it grew. It must remain alive until it is used as medicine; for such a case, a Personal Planting Box is needed.
The Personal Planting Box contains top-grade spiritual soil, capable of expanding and contracting, perfect for planting spiritual medicine. Just placing a low-grade spiritual stone under this box ensures the spiritual medicine survives for a year.
However, the spiritual medicine entering the planting box would only remain undead, continuing to grow or improving in grade is impossible, as the Spiritual Energy in the planting box is insufficient.
To perfectly transplant this Lan Lingxiang, Gong Junbao used more than a dozen small shovels just to dig up the soil, each different in size to ensure a perfect extraction.
After finishing with Lan Lingxiang, Feng Qiao wanted to resume their journey immediately, but Gong Junbao refused to leave, bent over scouring the ground, appearing as if still searching for something around them.
Curious, Feng Qiao asked him, "Pill Master Gong, hasn’t the Lan Lingxiang been dug up? What are you still looking for?"
