141: Return with a full load
Lin Feng and Nangong Wan arrived at a seemingly unremarkable mountain hollow, following the directions provided by the Ancient Demon.
This place was full of grotesque rocks, with sparse Devilish Qi, no different from other parts of the valley.
Nangong Wan looked around, her willow-like brows slightly furrowed.
"Lin Feng, is this it? I don't feel any spatial fluctuations."
Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his Divine Sense spreading out, carefully sweeping over every inch of the rock wall and ground.
A moment later, he withdrew his Divine Sense, a smile playing on his lips.
"That Devil Head was honest after all; he didn't lie to us."
He looked up at a section of the Void Realm above the mountain hollow and said calmly, "The entrance is right there, but it's hidden by a spatial Restriction."
Before his words faded, his figure flickered, and he was already in mid-air.
Nangong Wan saw him slowly raise his right fist, a layer of dark golden light instantly appearing on his arm, and a wild, overbearing aura burst forth.
The space behind him began to twist, as if it could not withstand this pure Physical Body strength.
"Open!"
Lin Feng let out a low shout, punching directly at that section of the Void Realm.
A sonic boom, followed by a crisp sound like shattering glass.
"Crack!"
The space in front of them truly shattered inch by inch like a mirror, revealing a pitch-black void.
A dense Spiritual Qi, so thick it was almost tangible, mixed with an intoxicating medicinal fragrance, surged out from the void.
Just by taking a breath, Nangong Wan felt the magical power within her body become more active.
Lin Feng extended his Divine Sense into it, a satisfied expression on his face.
Beyond that void was a vibrant, independent space, with countless exotic flowers and strange plants swaying gracefully, their spiritual light shimmering, clearly all extraordinary items.
"Wan'er, let's go."
The two stepped hand in hand into the spatial rift.
The scene before them suddenly opened up.
This was a true paradise, with no sun or moon in the sky, yet soft halos of light cascaded down.
Beneath their feet was fertile spiritual soil, with a clear stream flowing through it, the stream water clearly being Spirit Liquid formed from liquefied Spiritual Qi.
Along both banks of the stream, various strange and unheard-of Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines were scattered.
Some were shaped like coral, entirely verdant, exuding vibrant vitality.
Some resembled lanterns, their fruits crystal clear, with flames flickering within.
There were also some spiritual flowers with layers of petals, displaying a seven-colored hue, each breath they took inhaling and exhaling vast amounts of Heaven And Earth Origin Qi.
"This... this place..."
Nangong Wan's beautiful eyes widened, completely stunned by the scene before her, momentarily speechless.
As an Elder of the Yanyue Sect, she believed she had seen many Heaven And Earth Treasures, but compared to this place, it was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.
Lin Feng chuckled, squeezing her hand.
"These are all Spirit Medicines from the ancient era; in today's Southern Heaven, they are probably long extinct."
He walked with Nangong Wan through the medicinal garden, carefully identifying these Spiritual Plants, but found that most of them he couldn't name.
"But now, they are all mine."
With a thought, he released the Little Spirit Ginseng from his Inner Universe.
A golden light flashed, and the Little Spirit Ginseng, shaped like a small Dragon and entirely golden, appeared in mid-air.
As soon as it appeared, it was stunned by the rich medicinal fragrance before it.
It sniffed its tiny nose, its pair of nimble large eyes instantly widening, and drool almost dripped down.
"Yi ya!"
The Little Spirit Ginseng let out an extremely excited cry, transforming into a golden lightning bolt, circling above the medicinal garden.
Lin Feng looked at its unpromising appearance and scolded with a smile, "Alright, don't just stare, hurry up and get to work."
"Move all these treasures to their new home for me, don't leave a single plant behind!"
"Yi ya! Yi ya!"
The Little Spirit Ginseng became even more excited upon receiving the command, and it plunged into a medicinal patch.
With a flick of its tiny paw, a thousand-year-old Spiritual Plant, along with a large section of the spiritual soil beneath it, was lifted by an invisible force and instantly disappeared.
The next moment, it appeared beside another spiritual flower, doing the same.
The entire Lingmiao Garden became the scene of a peculiar moving spectacle.
Nangong Wan watched from the side, marveling; she had never seen such a peculiar creature.
In just a moment, the once vibrant Lingmiao Garden was completely emptied by the Little Spirit Ginseng, leaving only a bare patch of spiritual soil.
The Little Spirit Ginseng contentedly flew back to Lin Feng, affectionately rubbing against his palm and letting out a satisfied burp.
Lin Feng smiled, stroking its tiny head, and praised, "Well done, I'll give you credit when we get back."
With that, he put it back into his Inner Universe.
Nangong Wan then stepped forward and asked curiously, "Lin Feng, what kind of creature is that little thing? It actually possesses such Divine Ability."
Lin Feng explained, "It's a Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng that gained sentience by chance, so I helped it take on a human form."
"It's naturally able to control plants, making it perfect for managing a medicinal garden."
He paused, then added, "When its spiritual body reaches Major Achievement in the future, it can even transform into a giant Dragon and be used as a transformed Spirit Beast, and its body will be immortal and indestructible, making it extremely difficult to kill."
Nangong Wan's beautiful eyes shimmered with wonder as she listened, gaining a deeper understanding of her Dao Companion's mysterious nature.
With a thought, a red light flashed on her wrist, and a Fiery Essence Sparrow, burning with crimson flames, flew out, affectionately landing on her shoulder and rubbing its small head against her cheek.
"I wonder if my little one will have the chance to transform in the future," Nangong Wan's tone was full of affection.
Lin Feng looked at it, somewhat surprised.
This Fiery Essence Sparrow was one he had given to Nangong Wan over sixty years ago.
At that time, it was merely a third-level Yao Beast, but now, under Nangong Wan's careful cultivation, its aura was formidable, and it had already advanced to the seventh level, just a step away from transformation.
"You've taken good care of it," Lin Feng praised, "Transformation isn't difficult; I'll give it a hand."
He flipped his hand and took out two jade bottles, handing them over.
"This bottle of Medicinal Pills is for you; it can help you stabilize your Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation and advance sooner."
"The other bottle is for this little one; it can increase its chances of successful transformation by thirty percent."
Nangong Wan took the jade bottles, feeling the astonishing spiritual power emanating from within, and her heart warmed, her eyes even turning a little red.
Whether it was the Medicinal Pills to aid her cultivation or the transformation pills for her Spirit Beast, each item was extremely precious.
"Lin Feng, you..."
She was about to say some words of thanks, but Lin Feng interrupted her.
Lin Feng leaned in close to her, pointed to his cheek, a playful smile on his face.
"Just talking won't do; you need to show some sincerity."
Nangong Wan's pretty face flushed, and she glared at him, but she also knew his nature.
She tiptoed slightly and lightly pecked his cheek.
Lin Feng, however, was not satisfied and shook his head.
"Too perfunctory."
Nangong Wan was both shy and annoyed, but she couldn't argue with him, so she closed her eyes and pressed her lips against his.
But this time, Lin Feng didn't let her leave easily.
He wrapped an arm around Nangong Wan's slender waist, deepening the kiss.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Nangong Wan's face was flushed, her breath slightly ragged, and her beautiful eyes shimmered with a hint of shyness.
Lin Feng looked at her charming appearance, and a fire ignited in his heart.
The trip to the Fallen Demon Valley had been fruitful, and now with the beauty in his arms, it was time to attend to some proper business.
"Wan'er, now that this matter is settled, let's go back."
Before Nangong Wan could react, Lin Feng scooped her up in his arms.
"Ah! What are you doing!" Nangong Wan let out a surprised cry, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.
Lin Feng laughed heartily, holding her as he stepped out of the spatial rift, his figure transforming into a streak of light, rapidly fleeing towards the outside of the valley.
Soon, the two boarded the flying boat.
The flying boat's protective shield rose, transforming into a stream of light that vanished into the horizon.
Inside the cabin, Lin Feng gently placed Nangong Wan on the soft beast fur couch, the flame in his eyes growing even hotter.
"Lin Feng... we just..." Nangong Wan looked at his hands beginning to untie her sash, somewhat shocked.
Less than half a day had passed, and he was already up to mischief again.
But she had just received so many benefits from Lin Feng, and the words of refusal reached her lips but she couldn't utter them.
In the end, she could only let out a helpless sigh, allowing Lin Feng to do as he pleased.
The flying boat sped steadily through the clouds, while the amorous scene within the cabin lingered on, unceasingly.
