Chapter 13: Enormous Harvest

  The next afternoon, after the task in the Medicine Garden was completed, Yu Bo hastily ran to that disciple in charge and asked if Lin Feng had come out. The disciple in charge smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, Yu Shidi! The Spiritual Medicine Valley is definitely a place where you can enter but not leave, that Lin Feng must have been eaten by the Blood Corpse!"

  Yu Bo asked anxiously: "Are you sure he's fallen? Won't he run out of the valley?"

  "It's impossible! I just checked the formation restrictions of the Spiritual Medicine Valley, and Lin Feng's identity jade card has not left the valley. He should still be inside!"

  Yu Bo asked again: "Is he still in the valley? How can you be sure that he has been killed by the Blood Scythe?"

  "Hey, didn't you forget, Master? The formation restriction in the Spiritual Medicine Valley can detect the aura of demonic beasts. Last night, a 7th-level demonic beast indeed entered the valley and then escaped!"

  "Haha, I see! Now I can rest assured!"

  "Second Master Yu, the task of Lingyao Mountain Valley was abolished half a year ago. I helped you with this matter privately, and that unfortunate miscellaneous disciple lost his life. Isn't it a bit too cruel?"

  Yu Bo's face sank: "Hmph, with people like him around, who will listen to my orders in the future? If they're all as ungrateful as he is, where will I get my spirit stones from later on? If he doesn't leave, I won't have an excuse to ask Qingdan Gate for new miscellaneous disciples again."

  The manager's apprentice nodded and said: "Yes, as the saying goes, 'no poison no husband', Master Yu is doing nothing wrong! However, this time's good faith fee, do you think it should be..."

  Yu Bo pulled out a pile of Ling stones from his storage bag, and the managing disciple happily accepted them. The two chatted for a few more sentences before Yu Bo bid farewell.

  After Yu Bo left, the steward's disciple hastily placed the spirit stones on the table and carefully counted them. There were exactly 20 pieces. The steward's disciple beamed with joy as he picked up the spirit stones one by one and put them into his storage bag, a look of extreme delight on his face.

  Time passed day by day, and Lin Feng and Xue Xie continued to focus on their cultivation. A month later, Xue Xie was the first to wake up, its realm had completely solidified, so it stopped cultivating, seeing that Lin Feng was still not awake, it quietly sat down beside him waiting for him.

  Two months later, Lin Feng still hadn't woken up. The spiritual energy in his primordial spirit continued to circulate within his body, repeating the cycle over and over again, unknowingly strengthening his meridians. His meridian's tenacity had already matched the intensity of his primordial spirit, but he was still ceaselessly cultivating.

  Two and a half months later, the Lin Dan Grand Prix near Qingdan Gate was already very close. Lin Feng's eyelids finally moved slightly. When he opened his eyes, a sharp light shot out from the depths of his pupils, indicating that his strength had increased by leaps and bounds compared to before.

  Lin Feng had just woken up when the Blood Scythe approached him. It respectfully said to Lin Feng, "Master has finally awakened!"

  Lin Feng nodded and stood up with a very good mood, then asked Xue Xie: "What is this place?"

  "Ah, I don't know either. When I broke the seal half a year ago, it was in this place, and I've been living here ever since."

  Lin Feng was taken aback: "Break the seal?"

  "Ah, yes. From the day I was refined, my body has been sealed with a restrictive seal. It wasn't until half a year ago that the seal weakened due to the passage of time and the internal spiritual energy dwindling, allowing me to break free."

  Lin Feng was even more puzzled: "Are you saying that when you were refined, you were already at the Dan Yuan realm?"

  Xue Xie nodded: "Yes! My inner elixir actually came directly from a cultivator. When I was refining the corpse, this inner elixir was directly refined into my body. The success rate of this method is extremely low, and I happened to be successfully refined, so I became a relatively rare 7th-level Blood Fiend."

  Lin Feng: "Who refined you?"

  Xue Xie shook his head and thought for a moment, then pointed to a dry skeleton in the secret room and said: "There! It's right there!"

  Lin Feng looked in the direction of the blood-stained finger, and indeed there was a withered skeleton lying there. From the degree of bone weathering, this skeleton had been dead for thousands of years. Lin Feng curiously walked to the side of the skeleton and became interested in the jade slip in its hand.

  Lin Feng pinched the jade slip and pulled it out, causing the dry bone's fingers to snap and shatter into dust, falling to the ground as a handful of powder. Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily apologized to the dry bones before inserting his divine sense into the jade slip, reading it word by word.

  After a long time, Lin Feng finally withdrew his divine sense from the jade slip and let out a long breath. The jade slip recorded an auxiliary cultivation method called "Nine Yuan Sword Intent"! Its content was very mysterious and difficult to cultivate, but according to the jade slip's records, the Nine Yuan Sword Intent had boundless power and became more formidable in its later stages!

  Lin Feng put away the Jade Slip into his Mustard Seed Ring, and bowed deeply to the skeleton to express his gratitude. Then he turned around in the cave, but didn't find anything else. However, he picked up a few storage bags that should have been left behind by the cultivators who died at the hands of the Blood Massacre. Lin Feng opened each of the storage bags one by one and poured out all the items inside.

  The items in the storage bag were not many, and their value was not high either. However, to Lin Feng, this was undoubtedly a huge fortune! When he was at Tai Yi Men, he had never received such a rich inheritance before!

  The total value of the items in these storage bags added up to over 160 spirit stones. What surprised Lin Feng was that one of the storage bags actually contained two mid-grade spirit stones!

  Each piece of mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to over 100 pieces of low-grade spirit stone. Of course, the value of mid-grade spirit stone lies not only in this; it contains a large amount of pure and concentrated spiritual energy, which plays an extremely important role in many places.

  Apart from the Ling Stone, Lin Feng also obtained three magical weapons. One was an attacking type, one was a relatively rare defensive magical weapon, and the last one was the flying magical weapon that Lin Feng had been dreaming of! Although these three magical weapons were all low-grade, Lin Feng was already very excited!

  There was another gain, which were those dozen or so functional spirit symbols. This high-consumption luxury item, not to mention the Lin family back then, even the disciples of the wealthy and powerful Qingdan Gate rarely used spirit symbols.

  Because spirit symbols are mostly one-time consumables, only a few high-end spirit symbols can be used three to five times, but the price is so expensive that only wealthy cultivators have the ability to buy and use them.

  However, although the Spirit Symbol is expensive, its benefits are also obvious. When killing demonic beasts or fighting against cultivators of similar strength, the Spirit Symbol often achieves a miraculous effect of turning defeat into victory.

  Because it does not consume the spiritual power of the cultivator, and the activation speed is extremely fast. Moreover, even low-level cultivators can use high-level spirit symbols, which contain a huge amount of magical power. When suddenly activated, they often achieve a one-hit kill.
