Free Web NovelChapter 1872: Chapter 1871: Qi’s Miraculous Effect
Lei Ba was utterly astonished, and the others also looked on in amazement as the grievously injured person suddenly recovered and displayed a shocking ability.
Ouyang Qiuhai smacked his lips, looking at Li Feng and said, "You mentioned the Ice Lotus Seed earlier, could it be the legendary Millennium Ice Lotus?"
Given some family knowledge, Ouyang Qiuhai, although never having seen Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, had read some records.
"Hmm, at least someone recognizes treasure. It is indeed an extremely rare Millennium Seed, and it grew from a mutated seed."
"This Ice Lotus, even in its seed form, absorbed the Earth Core Fire for unknown ages, then by some twist of fate, it fell into a Mysterious Ice Cold Pond quite different from this place. Logically, ice and fire should not coexist, yet miraculously, the seed sprouted and grew."
"Just when the seed was about to mature, this shameless person appeared and forcibly took the treasure I guarded for countless years."
"Now, it’s being squandered recklessly as a tonic for someone, and even I, as Snake Lord, haven’t tasted one myself."
The white-scaled little snake spoke with growing grievance; she had guarded it for countless ages, yet she didn’t even get a taste, while the woman gained the advantage.
Look at the seed’s effect, swallowing just one can regrow flesh, revive the dead, and even stimulate vitality, with the seed taking root in the dantian, forming a unique Lotus Heart Golden Core. Such an opportunity is truly unparalleled.
It should have been hers.
"Camp Master."
Ying heard the white-scaled little snake’s deeply aggrieved tone regarding the unusual Ice Lotus Seed she consumed, then looked at Li Feng with ripples in her heart. Such immense grace, she feared even offering herself couldn’t repay it.
The other trusted aides, seeing this, also felt a profound sense of reassurance, knowing they followed the right person. Despite losing many companions along the way, they felt no regret.
"Let go of Lei Ba for now; he can’t withstand your antics." Li Feng said, then took out a lotus petal.
With a flick of his finger in the air, he instantly divided the petal into dozens of pieces, and these shredded petals shot towards everyone present.
The petal pieces Lei Ba received were larger than those of others; seeing the petals fly towards him, Lei Ba’s eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth wide, the petal only slightly smaller than his teeth fell into his mouth.
Though small, the petal went down his throat without much sensation, but a refreshing wave spread from his throat as he swallowed. A powerful wave of vitality burst forth, impacting his surrounding meridians.
The bloody, even bone-baring wound on Lei Ba’s chest could be directly felt regenerating new flesh, healing rapidly. As the energy circulated in his body, accumulated fatigue and hidden injuries vanished along the way.
He even felt like his body underwent a cleansing process akin to Bone Strengthening and Marrow Cleansing.
The injured felt it most vividly, but even those uninjured sensed an inexplicable lightness in their bodies. Furthermore, the petal’s effect didn’t just dissipate immediately; vitality seemed to be continuously released within, strengthening the body.
The petals’ energy, although insufficient to elevate the trusted aides from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core Realm, nonetheless brought everyone to their optimal state.
The previous distress from being chased and the humiliation of being defeated in battle were all swept away.
Ouyang Qiuhai shivered all over; indeed, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures lived up to their name, even without refinement, they had such astonishing effects.
Moreover, these petals had absorbed the Cold Pond’s power, and when consumed, naturally emitted Heavenly Frost Cold Air that perfectly counteracted the harsh environment. After all, this was a Molten Lava Land, with air temperatures at least sixty to seventy degrees, enough to instantly steam an egg on the ground.
Walking in the Molten Lava Land, everyone had to continuously expend Primordial Energy to fend off the heat wave assaults.
"Li Feng, do you have more?"
As Ouyang Qiuhai spoke, it drew all eyes around him.
"Qiuhai."
Sikong Yu called out softly to Ouyang Qiuhai; she could also see that the Ice Lotus in Li Feng’s hand was a rare treasure. However, since it belonged to Li Feng, his willingness to share bits with them was already generous.
Opening his mouth to ask for more seemed a bit excessive.
"Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean it that way."
Ouyang Qiuhai realized his timing was off, but since the words were already spoken, he couldn’t retract them and had to muster his courage.
"What I meant was, consuming this kind of Heavenly Treasure raw is the worst way. My aunt is an elder of the Xinglin in Ancestor Dragon City, quite skilled in alchemy. If you’re willing, when we return to Ancestor Dragon City, I can introduce her to you."
Li Feng oh-ed as he glanced at Ouyang Qiuhai; Ancestor Dragon City, as one of the top ten sects, included the Xinglin Sect.
If he hadn’t been unable to establish himself in Ancestor Dragon City, Li Feng’s preference would’ve been to join Xinglin rather than the Nine Layers Mountain.
Entering Kunlun had a primary goal for Li Feng, which was to find his mother, who had, according to his grandfather, entered Kunlun long ago and was still alive.
His mother, tutored by her grandfather, mastered unparalleled medical skills, belonging to the Xinglin Medical Sect, one of the Three Sects and Six Gates.
This connection made it probable his mother might be in the Xinglin Sect of Ancestor Dragon City, a significant possibility.
Joining the Xinglin Sect appeared far easier than attempting to reach the Upper Three Rings to seek the Xuanyuan family, given the order in Ancestor Dragon City, where someone like him wouldn’t typically be qualified to step into the Upper Three Rings, let alone appear before the Xuanyuan family gates.
This Ouyang Qiuhai indeed had some channels.
"Alright, then, when we return to Ancestor Dragon City, we must meet."
Li Feng didn’t refuse Ouyang Qiuhai’s proposal; Ouyang Qiuhai had been worried about Li Feng’s thoughts since his suggestion was somewhat off-timed, appearing greedy.
Furthermore, due to various reasons, they had endured a choppy relationship throughout this journey, not hostile but certainly not harmonious.
Of course, Ouyang Qiuhai held some preconceptions about Li Feng due to his inherent superiority as a scion of a notable family, looking down upon Li Feng rising from grassroots.
"It’s settled then."
Ouyang Qiuhai nodded; introducing her aunt, a rare treasure like those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in Li Feng’s hand, even alchemical refinement would incur some losses; it’s normal to expect some compensation, perhaps even securing one for herself.
Li Feng didn’t continue the topic, looking at the energized crowd, finally resting his gaze on Sikong Yu: "Weren’t you taken away by Bi Fang?"
Sikong Yu, hearing Li Feng’s question, replied: "Yes, I was taken by Bi Fang, but she brought me here out of respect for the Sikong family. She didn’t forcibly keep me, and I returned to find everyone, only to hear you faced the Ant Race army alone."
"How did you escape? It seems you had some fortuitous encounters."
Sikong Yu said, looking at the white-scaled little snake coiled on Li Feng’s shoulder.
