Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Qingyun nodded: "Yes, yes, Liuyun and I found a very beautiful place. There is a lot of natural energy there, it feels like it's about to overflow."

"But what's strange is that we didn't feel anything when we got there a few days ago. Maybe it's because our cultivation has improved, hehe."

He didn't know about the location Qingyun mentioned for sensing the wind, since he had just been able to feel the power of nature.

But he was very curious about this place. If it was really as Qingyun said, then perhaps he could cultivate faster.

Is that place in the Land of Fire?

"Of course, but it is indeed quite a distance from the village, near the border."

Liu Feng chimed in, "Yes, yes, there's a very beautiful lake that you, Qu Feng, have definitely never been to."

"Hey, that's great. You two take me there tomorrow. I want to see if this place is as amazing as you say."

Qingyun and Liufeng readily agreed to Qufeng's request, as they would be happiest to go out and play with Qufeng. It was just a pity that Qufeng was usually quite busy.

Chapter 166 Lake in the Woods

Qingyun and Liufeng readily agreed to Qufeng's request, as they would be happiest to go out and play with Qufeng. It was just a pity that Qufeng was usually quite busy.

"Okay, then let's set off early tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, bring some more delicious food!"

Seeing Qingyun and Liufeng's excited expressions, Qufeng also smiled.

However, when it comes to bringing some good food, there's really not much left in Qu Feng's ring, since the shops on the street are probably still open.

I have to hurry up and buy some things now, otherwise I'll only be able to eat jerky when I get there tomorrow.

Thinking about it makes me feel somewhat tragic.

Without further ado, after instructing Qingyun Liufeng to stay at home, Qufeng went to the market to buy groceries.

Although the street vendors have gradually left, the shops are still open and will probably close only after the streets are completely deserted.

However, there weren't many goods left at this point, so Qu Feng quickly bought a large amount of fruit, smoked meat, bread, and the like.

They stuffed it all into the ring.

For Qingyun and Liufeng, this was nothing at all.

And even the wind couldn't help but sigh once again at how scarce the food options in Konoha Village were.

Thinking about life on Earth, it feels so wonderful.

But after so many years, I've gotten used to it, and now I just feel nostalgic.

After paying, Qu Feng returned home. It was dark when he came back from his trip.

After a quick wash, Qu Feng lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, I was woken up by a system notification. I looked out the window and saw that the sun was shining brightly, perfect for going out.

After stretching, I got up, dressed, and washed up in one go.

She tied her long hair up at the back of her head, put on a headband embroidered with crane patterns, and then pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.

He thought he had gotten up very early, but he didn't expect that Qingyun and Liufeng were already waiting for him in the courtyard.

"It's so slow to gather wind. I told you to get up earlier."

Qu Feng scratched his head awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, it was my fault."

Qingyun and Liufeng accepted the apology with sincere remorse and then flew away from the village with Qufeng on their backs.

Feeling the fresh air high in the sky and watching the sunrise on the horizon, it was incredibly refreshing.

This is a view that 99% of ninjas will never experience in their lifetime.

"How long will it take us to get there?"

Qingyun pondered for a moment: "About two hours? I'm not quite sure, but that should be it."

Goodness, he's almost forgotten the way. He's really a bit unreliable.

Qingyun and Liufeng quickened their pace, and after about fifty minutes, they arrived at their destination.

It has to be said that it was quite cold at high altitudes. If it weren't for Qu Feng constantly manipulating the clouds around him, he would have been frozen solid by now.

Qingyun and Liufeng, along with Qufeng, hovered in mid-air, trying to find a good place to land.

Taking this opportunity, Qu Feng carefully examined the surrounding terrain.

Indeed, as Qingyun and Liufeng said, it is a very beautiful lake.

The main reason is that he had been on missions in the Land of Fire for several years without discovering this place.

At the edge of the lake is a pristine white sand beach, beyond which lies an endless forest.

No wonder Qu Feng has never been here before.

No one could possibly live in such a primeval jungle, so there would be no missions to complete.

However, this place is quite comfortable as a tourist resort.

Having found a good spot, Qingyun and Liufeng gracefully descended from mid-air, their movements incredibly elegant.

Take the wind down from Qingyun's back and step onto the soft sand.

I took a deep breath and realized that the feeling here was indeed different.

"This is the place I told Liuyun about, a place with abundant energy. I can feel the energy flowing into this place continuously."

"Influx?"

Qu Feng noticed what Qingyun said: if this place is really filled with natural energy, it shouldn't be flowing in, but rather dissipating.

Could it be that something is attracting natural energy?

However, Qu Feng has only just barely sensed the natural energy, and he is not yet able to sense the flow of energy.

Naturally, it becomes impossible to explore the mysteries within.

I might as well take advantage of the abundant natural energy now and start cultivating quickly. Once I've made further progress in my cultivation of immortal arts, I'll go and see what's going on in this place.

Without further ado, Qu Feng sat down cross-legged and began cultivating according to the method in the scroll.

The body gradually absorbs the natural energy in the air.

Seeing this, Qingyun and Liufeng also closed their eyes and began to cultivate.

The morning passed just like that, and the progress in obtaining wind was not bad.

You can clearly feel that this place has many times more natural energy than your home.

If they went to the Three Sacred Lands to cultivate, perhaps they could progress faster.

After all, in the Three Sacred Lands, even spitting out phlegm is a magical technique, truly an innate advantage.

As his cultivation progressed, he gradually began to feel the sensation that Qingyun and Liufeng had described.

It seems that the natural energy in the air did not all gather here from the beginning, but was attracted here by something unknown.

This is why the natural energy in this area is much higher.

"Can you two sense the specific location now?"

Qu Feng thought that the two cranes were progressing faster than him and should be able to sense it too, but Qingyun and Liufeng shook their heads in unison.

"Although the energy is gathered, it is only gathered in this large area, and there is no specific location."

Qu Feng also found this very troublesome.

The area Qingyun was referring to was a large lake and a vast primeval forest.

If there really is any treasure here, searching for it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You might even get lost in the forest and never be able to leave.

Since there's no way to deal with it, I might as well stop thinking about it. It's noon now, so I took out the picnic blanket and spread it on the beach.

She also took out a large amount of food she had bought yesterday, along with the dried meat she had stored in her ring.

Then the one person and the two cranes began to devour their lunch in a whirlwind.

The most ruthless among them was Qingyun, whose single bite was enough to take the wind for a meal.

Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a hairy dinosaur; how could it eat so much?

Qu Feng picked out some of his favorite foods and then moved away from the two cranes.

Otherwise, he worried that Qingyun and Qufeng would get so greedy that they would eat him up too.

I could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake while having lunch, although the taste and texture weren't very good.

It was still quite pleasant, though. If there's a chance next time, I might suggest taking a night stroll here.

I brought Hiruzen and the others along, since it had been a long time since we'd seen each other, and I'd missed them terribly these past few days.

Chapter 167 The Traveler

I brought Hiruzen and the others along, since it had been a long time since we'd seen each other, and I'd missed them terribly these past few days.

However, while he was eating, he always felt like he was being watched, which made him very uncomfortable.

At first, he thought it was his imagination, but the feeling did not fade over time.

Instead, he went deeper and deeper, and only then did he begin to be cautious, realizing that there might be ninjas active in the vicinity.

The one who could give him this feeling couldn't be an ordinary person; it had to be a ninja!

However, what needs to be determined now is the number of people on the other side and their purpose.

While wandering ninjas typically operate along border lines, this is not the case in such primeval forest areas.

After all, the purpose was to fill their stomachs, so they needed to ambush and rob passing pedestrians and caravans.

Who are they going to rob in this forest? They don't seem normal at all.

Through telepathy, Qu Feng conveyed his thoughts to Qing Yun and Liu Feng, reminding them to always pay attention to their surroundings.

Run away immediately if there is any danger.

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Blindly acting recklessly is not advisable; it will only lead to a quicker death.
