Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely - Chapter 435


435 Central Continent

In Huo Feng’s cave abode in the Changping Mountain Range.

Huo Feng sat alone on the main seat. Wang Lan sat beside Li Yuanqing. The two of them were tasting spiritual tea.

…

“There are many things that you don’t know. There was once only one entire continent in this world, surrounded by the sea.”

Wang Lan explained to Li Yuanqing as he sipped his tea.

“Later on, this world divided the entire continent into five. They were the four continents, East, West, South, and North. The largest piece left in the middle was the Central Continent.”

Li Yuanqing had never heard anyone mention it before. It was also because the land under their feet was too vast. Ordinary cultivators usually did not have the chance to cross to another continent.

The map that Li Yuanqing had given Huo Feng showed that the location was on the Central Continent.

In other words, if Huo Feng wanted to obtain the Heavenly Soul Incense, he had to make a trip to the Central Continent. This journey was hundreds of thousands of miles away.

“Why is Senior Huo Feng so obsessed with the Heavenly Soul Incense?” Li Yuanqing asked in confusion. “He has been searching for it for more than a thousand years. Is that spirit body really that important to him?”

“This is his past. I can’t say much about it.” Wang Lan tidied his beard and pointed at the horsetail whisk in Huo Feng’s hand. “You also know that his horsetail whisk is just one step away. If he can fuse the spirit body and the Dharma treasure, he will let it go.”

Li Yuanqing originally thought that giving him this map should be a good thing. However, he did not expect the journey to be so long. Moreover, from what they said, the Central Continent was not ordinary. It would probably be filled with difficulties.

Wang Lan looked at Huo Feng with a worried expression.

“Senior, it seems like you’re worried too.”

“He has already guarded for so many years. His physical condition is no longer as good as before. Now that he’s going to the Central Continent, the journey will be filled with danger.”

Just as Wang Lan was speaking, Huo Feng suddenly opened his eyes. His fatigue from before was swept away, and his spirits were suddenly lifted, and his face became even rosier. He gently jumped down from the bed and arrived beside the two of them.

“There’s no need to say anything else. I’ll leave tomorrow.” Huo Feng looked like he was looking forward to the upcoming trip. “After waiting here for hundreds of years, I finally have such good news. Just now, I asked some close friends. They can provide me with some tricks. I believe it can greatly shorten the time.”

“Senior, were you thinking about what to do just now? I thought you didn’t intend to go.”

“How can I not plan to go?” Huo Feng’s eyes widened in shock. “I’ve been waiting here for so many years. It’s not easy for me to have such a good opportunity. I have to go no matter what. However, my body is already old. I should think of some careful plans.”

Wang Lan looked at Huo Feng with a rare smile.

“I thought you were finally afraid this time. I didn’t expect you to still have that bad temper.”

Huo Feng replied, “Why? Do you have to care about my temper?”

“That’s none of my business. Yue’er must have taken a fancy to that characteristic.”

Wang Lan suddenly turned around and nodded gently. Finally, he said to his longtime enemy, “If you need any pills, you can tell me. I still have some on hand.”

“Aiyo, you miser. When did you become so generous?”

Wang Lan did not answer him. He waved his hand and was about to leave with Li Yuanqing.

“Let’s go. We’re done.”

Li Yuanqing followed Wang Lan here in confusion. Originally, he wanted to return to the sect directly. He had left for too long this time. Although he had the Wood Spirit Clone guarding the sect, he still wanted to return as soon as possible.

However, he had followed Wang Lan here under his strong request. In the end, he had only stayed here for half a day before leaving.

Li Yuanqing did not dare to be negligent and was about to leave with Wang Lan.

At this moment, Huo Feng suddenly stopped him.

“Young friend.”

Wang Lan turned to Li Yuanqing and nodded before leaving.

Li Yuanqing turned around and looked at Huo Feng.

Huo Feng looked at Li Yuanqing gratefully and said, “I didn’t expect you to really have such a precious treasure on you. When you said that back then, I thought you were lying.”

Li Yuanqing asked in confusion, “Then why did you agree to my request?”

Huo Feng laughed heartily and said, “I’ve been guarding here for hundreds of years. I’m about to grow mold. I have resentment in my heart, but I don’t have a suitable reason. But you gave me an opportunity to punish evil and promote good.”

“It’s precisely because you can discover so acutely that there’s such a problem with that horsetail whisk.” Huo Feng blocked Li Yuanqing and did not let him say anything. “I don’t care how you know. That old fellow might have secretly told you. However, you gave me a very good reason. That’s enough.”

Li Yuanqing thought that this old man was a sarcastic person. He did not expect him to have such thoughts.

“So you’ve made plans from the beginning.”

“Of course. The Corpse Refinement Technique has always been rejected by people. Now that it has reappeared in the martial world, someone naturally has to stand up and kill it.”

“Senior, you’re heroic and righteous. I admire you greatly.”

Huo Feng helped Li Yuanqing up and held his hand, rubbing it gently.

A small purple flame immediately appeared in Li Yuanqing’s hand. Among the purple flames was a very light-colored pill.

“Senior, this is?”

“This is my Purple Flame’s Fire Seed. Although I spent a lot of effort to nurture it, it’s useless in my hands. If you can take it, it can be considered as finding a family for it.”

Li Yuanqing looked at the fire seed in his hand hesitantly. Just as he was about to refuse, Huo Feng immediately said, “Could it be that you don’t like my Purple Flame Earth Fire? Although my flame hasn’t reached the Heaven level, its quality is quite extraordinary. It’s enough for you to show off.”

“Senior, please don’t misunderstand. I don’t dare to have any blasphemy,” Li Yuanqing explained. “It’s just that this gift is too precious. I can’t bear it.”

“What do you mean by precious? This is what we agreed on. Moreover, this fire seed is useless to me. You don’t want me to bring it with me when I die, right?”

Li Yuanqing fell silent by his words. It would be a lie to say that he did not want it.

What he needed the most now was to refine his own fire seed. This way, his alchemy or refining techniques would improve greatly.

A good fire was too good for alchemy.

However, this reward came too suddenly. He was not prepared at all. This made him very terrified.

“I wonder if Senior has any needs? Although I am not strong, I still have some things. It might satisfy some of your uses.”

“Just keep it well. I have no use for this anymore. I’ll give it to you.”

Huo Feng took out a purple-gold token casually. His name was written on the sign, and the words Fire Refinement Pavilion were engraved on the back.

While Li Yuanqing was studying it, Huo Feng said to him casually, “I still have some things left behind in the Fire Refinement Pavilion. You can use them casually. If they don’t suit you, you can exchange them. You can probably exchange them for many suitable materials. Take it as my support for you.”

“Senior, this gift is really too precious.” Li Yuanqing did not expect Huo Feng to give him his token from the Fire Refinement Pavilion.

Li Yuanqing felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that Huo Feng seems to be settling his affairs. He hesitated for a moment before suddenly flipping his wrist. A narrow bottle appeared in his palm.

The narrow bottle was tightly sealed and stood there quietly. It did not look like there were any special fluctuations.

“Senior, this thing is called the Divine Origin Water. Have you heard of it?”

Huo Feng took the bottle and asked Li Yuanqing if he could open it.

Li Yuanqing naturally agreed generously.

Huo Feng gently took out a drop of water from it. When the drop of water landed on his hand, it was like a condensed pearl, very crystalline. However, there was nothing special about it. It looked like ordinary water.

“Divine Origin Water?” Huo Feng shook his head slightly. “I’ve never heard of it. I wonder what effect this thing has?”

Li Yuanqing pointed at the drop of water in Huo Feng’s hand and said, “The effect of this Divine Origin Water is very unique. As long as the few drops in your hand melt in the water, you can water an entire field of medicinal herbs.”

“So it’s for the medicinal herbs. What will happen after it’s poured?”

A spiritual light flashed beside Li Yuanqing and a huge Giant Spirit Fruit appeared.

Huo Feng was shocked by the huge spirit fruit and could not react for a moment.

“What is this? Isn’t this the Giant Spirit Fruit? Why is there such a huge Giant Spirit Fruit in this world?”

The appearance of this fruit really overturned Huo Feng’s worldview.

Wang Lan was careful to keep it a secret and had yet to explain the Giant Spirit Fruit.

Li Yuanqing told Huo Feng bluntly, “This fruit is called the Giant Spirit Fruit. Its plant is a very ordinary Fire Spirit Fruit. However, after being watered with the Divine Origin Water, the Fire Spirit Fruit will grow like this.”

“What?”

This really shocked Huo Feng.

“You mean that as long as these few drops of water are used to irrigate an entire field, the entire field of fire spirit fruits will grow like this?”

“That’s right.”

“How can that be? As far as I know, thousands of fire spirit fruits can usually grow in normal fields.”

“Senior, if you want to know if the effect is real or fake, you can try it yourself.”

Only then did Li Yuanqing put away the fire seed with ease. Finally, he looked at Huo Feng solemnly.

“Thank you for the fire, Senior. I will definitely cultivate well and nurture this purple flame.”

“Sure, sure.”

Huo Feng’s attention was completely attracted by the Divine Origin Water.

Li Yuanqing might as well leave the huge spirit fruit behind. If Wang Lan found out about this, he would probably vomit blood from anger.

After leaving Huo Feng’s cave abode, Wang Lan was waiting at the foot of the mountain.

“Good kid, you’ve stayed for so long.” Wang Lan sized up Li Yuanqing and asked, “What good stuff did that old fellow give you? Take it out and take a look.”

Li Yuanqing shook his head and said, “This is a secret between me and Senior Huo Feng. I can’t say anything.”

“What secret?” Wang Lan was anxious to blow his beard when he heard this. “Don’t you know? You were so anxious to run just now. If I hadn’t insisted on bringing you here, would you have this benefit?”

“Still, I can’t say.”

“I think you’ve grown up, kid.” Wang Lan glared at Li Yuanqing. “I thought you’re honest and want to get you some benefits. In the end, you kicked your master aside. You’re too heartless.”

“When did Senior become my master?”

“Kid, what are you talking about? You’ve gotten so many benefits from that Old HuoFeng, and now you want to draw the line with me, right? I’m telling you, there’s no way!”

Wang Lan grabbed Li Yuanqing’s arm and the two of them turned into a stream of light and left the Changping Mountain Range.

In the end, Li Yuanqing pretended not to be able to withstand Wang Lan’s persuasion and told him about the purple flame and the token.

When Wang Lan heard that Huo Feng had called out the token, he was so shocked that his mouth was agape.

He was still clamoring for Li Yuanqing to hand the token to his so-called master for safekeeping.

It didn’t take long for the two of them to arrive at the Martial Yuan Sect’s medicinal field and return to the familiar Jiuyuan Medicinal Garden. Li Yuanqing felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Although he had only left for a few days, many things had happened during this period of time. He did not expect that he would follow the two old seniors and destroy the Divine Fire Sect’s scheme.

“You refused to give me the token, but what about the fruits? When do you have time to ask that old immortal when the next batch of fruits will be available?”

Wang Lan was furious. He had wanted to get some from Li Yuanqing, but he did not expect Li Yuanqing to be so meticulous even though he looked young. He was not intimidated by him at all.

Now, he could only make some plans on the huge spirit fruit.

As the two of them were talking, a familiar figure suddenly walked out of the herb garden.

Zhao Baoyun was cursing when he looked up and saw Wang Lan. He was shocked.

Li Yuanqing was already on guard and carefully circled to the side. While Zhao Baoyun was in a daze, he quietly touched his back.

“What are you doing?”

Wang Lan was very cooperative when he saw how strange Li Yuanqing was. He glared at Zhao Baoyun, scaring him.

Zhao Baoyun was still furious just now, but now, he had become a coward and looked at Wang Lan timidly.

“Senior, why are you here?”

“What do you mean why am I here? Is there a need to inform you where I’m going?”

Wang Lan’s words coupled with his fierce expression scared Zhao Baoyun so much that he almost peed his pants.

“Senior, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean that.”

“Then what do you mean?”

At this moment, Li Yuanqing suddenly stood up and said to Wang Lan, “Senior, are you here for me?”
