Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 73 We should go this way

As he opened the door to the secret chamber, blinding sunlight streamed into Lin Feng's eyes, causing him to instinctively raise his hand to shield them slightly. Just as his eyes adjusted and he lowered his hand, he saw a little purple-haired girl approaching close to his face, startling him into taking a small step back.

"Hey, you're the one who found me. Tell me the truth."

As she spoke, she clenched her small fist slightly and weighed it against Lin Feng, seemingly thinking about where to strike, to hit him in a way that would hurt him but not injure him too badly.

"If it's nothing serious that's delaying my treasure hunt, prepare to be punched!"

Watching Zi Yan's actions towards Lin Feng, Han Yue and the others couldn't help but feel a little worried for him. It wasn't uncommon for elders at the Dou Wang level to have been hit by Zi Yan's fists before, and the scene was quite terrifying.

Lin Feng looked at the little girl in front of him with great curiosity. She was so small, looking like a human child of eight or nine years old. However, judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from her, she was only slightly weaker than Lin Feng. In fact, in terms of physical strength alone, Lin Feng's body, which he had cultivated for many years, was utterly vulnerable in front of her.

"I've heard you have a talent for treasure hunting?"

"How did you know? Were you plotting against me? Old man Su Qian was right after all, none of the people outside are good. Hmph, take this punch!"

Upon hearing Lin Feng reveal her talent in one sentence, Zi Yan took a step back, then frowned and raised her fist.

"Wait a minute, it was Elder Su Qian who told me!"

Seeing that the old loli was about to make a move, Lin Feng quickly made up an excuse and betrayed Su Qian.

"I am a fifth-grade alchemist. Because I lack a spiritual herb for refining fifth-grade pills, after making many inquiries, Elder Su Qian said that the academy does not have any in stock."

As Lin Feng spoke, his expression remained fixed on the little girl whose tiny fists could crush a Dou Wang. Only after mentioning Su Qianqi did he continue speaking.

"However, the Grand Elder recommended Miss Ziyan to me, saying that you have amazing talent and should be able to help me find this spiritual herb."

Hearing that Lin Feng didn't call her "King of Violence" but respectfully addressed her as "Miss Ziyan," Ziyan immediately beamed. However, the next second she straightened her face, as if only in this way could she display the authority of a young lady, which made Lin Feng chuckle.

"Hmph, that sounds nice, but I won't help you for nothing. I'm busy making several spiritual herbs every minute."

After speaking, she raised her head slightly, intending to point her nostrils at Lin Feng, but found that she could only see Lin Feng's chin. She immediately deflated, muttering things like "damn transformation grass".

Seeing that things were looking promising, Lin Feng took out the energy pills he had just refined from his storage ring. The freshly made pills were still emitting a slight amount of heat.

Sensing the immense energy emanating from the small pill, Zi Yan's eyes lit up instantly. In a flash, she snatched the pill from Lin Feng's hand and popped it into her mouth.

"Wow, it's sweet!"

A sweet flavor lingered on her taste buds, and Zi Yan couldn't help but squint her small eyes as she savored it. This was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life. Not to mention, it also contained a wealth of energy that could promote her growth, which quickly changed her opinion of Lin Feng.

"Hey, just give me three more, no," seemingly feeling that it wasn't enough, Miss Ziyan immediately held up two fingers again, placing a cute little chubby hand in front of Lin Feng, "give me five of these little dumplings, and I'll help you out."

Seeing that Zi Yan didn't remember his name at all, Lin Feng didn't care. He reached into his storage ring and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

"Miss Ziyan, my name is Lin Feng. If you help me find the spiritual herb, the remaining nine pills here are all yours."

"Good!" Seeing Lin Feng's magnanimity, Zi Yan clapped her fists together and shouted, "Lin Feng, you're a true friend! I approve of you!"

As she spoke, she looked at the jade bottle that Lin Feng was tossing up and down in his palm with her big, teasing eyes, "Lin Feng, could you give me the pills first? Don't worry, I'm very trustworthy."

Upon seeing Zi Yan's adorable appearance, Lin Feng exclaimed, "I can't resist!" Then, with a wave of his hand, he poured out a pill from the jade bottle and tossed it to Zi Yan. Then, to her disbelief, he put the jade bottle into his storage ring.

After chewing the pills with different sweet flavors in her mouth, Zi Yan felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She suddenly jumped onto Lin Feng and grabbed at the storage ring on his hand.

"Ah, Lin Feng, hurry up and give me the rest of the pills, or you can forget about me taking you to find spiritual herbs!"

However, no matter what Zi Yan did, Lin Feng remained unmoved. Han Yue and the others, standing to the side, were slightly taken aback by Zi Yan's behavior. Was this still the infamous "Violent King" of the inner academy?

"snort!"

Seeing that her tricks for dealing with old man Su Qian had no effect, Zi Yan pouted and slid off Lin Feng.

"Fine, don't give it to me then, you stingy fellow. Once I lead you to the elixir, it will be mine sooner or later."

Lin Feng ignored the old loli and turned to face Han Yue and the others. He took out the refined Ice Spirit Pill and handed it to Han Yue.

"These are the promised Ice Spirit Pills, enough for the members of the Moon Spirit to use for three months. As for next time, that depends on whether I'm still in the inner courtyard."

Looking at the huge jade bottle, Zi Yan quickly glanced at it, but after sensing the thin energy inside, she quickly resumed her slightly raised head, putting on a haughty young lady's appearance.

Han Yue and the others stared blankly at the enormous jade bottle, their mouths slightly agape, unsure of what to say, only one sentence echoing in their minds.

"So this is a fifth-grade alchemy master?"

Even Han Yue, who came from Zhongzhou, was seeing so many pills for the first time, although they were not of high grade.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, he gave Zi Yan, who was engrossed in pretending to be a young lady, a look, and then walked out first. After Lin Feng took a few steps, Zi Yan immediately said "Oh" and quickly followed Lin Feng's steps with her short legs.

"Elder Lin Feng, Han Yue sees you off!"

Seeing Lin Feng start to walk out, Han Yue immediately realized what was happening and quickly spoke up.

"No need, see you next time!"

However, upon hearing this, Lin Feng waved his hand without turning his head and continued walking outside.

"Elder Lin Feng is indeed an unparalleled genius; this carefree temperament suits him perfectly."

Seeing Lin Feng's reaction, Han Yue stopped in her tracks, watching his receding figure, and exclaimed in admiration.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Sister Yue'er is in heat. But Elder Lin Feng is handsome, has high talent in martial arts cultivation, and his talent in alchemy is one in a hundred years. Not only Sister Yue'er, but even I am starting to fall for him!"

Han Yue's reflections hadn't lasted long when Nangong Yun interrupted her, her words causing Han Yue to blush. This time, however, the wavy-haired Yin Wan'er didn't object; even she was somewhat moved by this extraordinary man.

"Elder Lin Feng, the youngest!"

"Lin Feng, are we going to head straight for the rare medicinal herbs now?"

After walking with Lin Feng for a while, Zi Yan started to feel bored, so she asked a question.

"This matter is not urgent. I have been in the inner courtyard for many days and still do not have a place to stay. Let's go and get a courtyard to live in first."

Seeing that Lin Feng was going to waste his precious time on this useless thing and delay her from earning pills, Miss Zi Yan almost blurted out, "Why don't you come and stay at my place?" Fortunately, she remembered that her own doghouse hadn't been cleaned for almost three months, so she immediately covered her mouth.

Seeing Zi Yan's strange appearance, Lin Feng immediately asked her in confusion.

"Oh, it's alright, it's alright. Let's go then."

As she spoke, she hurriedly pushed Lin Feng forward, and the immense force caused Lin Feng to stumble.

"Um, Lin Feng, are you alright? I didn't mean to."

Thinking her first friend had been injured because of her carelessness, Zi Yan panicked. After a while, seeing that Lin Feng ignored her, her face fell, her shoulders slumped, and she walked towards her own courtyard.

"I've lost the friends I finally made!"

Just then, a strong and warm hand grabbed her.

"Ziyan, you're going the wrong way. You should be going this way!"
