Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"No!"

"Lu Feng, you mustn't be tempted by mere beauty..."

"Don't forget why you're here today!"

Just as the evil desires burning within him were growing stronger, Lu Feng bit his tongue sharply, forcing himself to regain his senses, and his face turned pale.

"Young master, why do you look so pale?"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Miaoling instinctively moved closer, her slender hand reaching out towards Lu Feng's cheek.

"Vice President Zhang!"

Seeing Zhang Miaoling's large breasts about to press against him again, Lu Feng was startled and immediately shrank back. "Let's... let's get back to business..."

He wasn't pretending to be reserved; Lu Feng had never been a gentleman, and he also had a fondness for beautiful women.

However, the Zhang Miaoling in front of them was no ordinary woman. She was one of the two vice presidents of the Alchemist Guild and was also known as the "Purple-Robed Eccentric Doctor." Her behavior and conduct were not comparable to those of ordinary people.

Therefore, Lu Feng dared not get too close, otherwise he would most likely be devoured by this old fox, leaving not even bones behind!

"You little rascal, not bad self-control. Looks like you're not quite like those stinky men outside. No wonder that girl... Oh well! I'll just say you've passed the test."

Seemingly having amused Lu Feng enough, Zhang Miaoling crossed her arms again, her face returning to a serious expression. At this moment, she exuded a dignified aura, completely different from the alluring fox spirit she had been before!

"Tell me, what benefits do you want? As long as the Alchemist Guild can offer something, I can make the decision."

Zhang Miaoling spoke coldly, her gaze sweeping across Lu Feng opposite her, revealing no change in her expression whatsoever.

"Damn! That vixen was faking it all along...!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng secretly felt fortunate.

Fortunately, he managed to retain his last shred of reason and didn't let lust cloud his judgment; otherwise, given Zhang Miaoling's temper, he would have definitely died a terrible death!

The Purple-Robed Doctor is indeed an extraordinary woman!

hum!

Just as Lu Feng was about to speak, he noticed a subtle tremor coming from inside his dantian, which surprised him slightly.

"Is this... the resonance of the treasure basin?"

Without time to think, Lu Feng quickly examined his dantian and found that the treasure basin, which had been quietly floating in the center of his dantian, was now trembling. The dark green spiritual patterns on its surface were also flickering, as if it had sensed its own kind.

"Could there be the aura of a Celestial Stone here?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Feng's expression hardened.

Although Gu Canyang is now in a deep sleep and he doesn't know where to find the Immortal-Nourishing Stone, the only thing that can cause such a violent reaction from the Treasure Basin across the entire continent is the Immortal-Nourishing Stone!

"Lu Feng, have you thought this through?"

Zhang Miaoling's voice came again, and Lu Feng looked up. When he saw the dark green color on her chest, his pupils contracted slightly. "The Treasure Basin's reaction has become even stronger. Could it be that necklace...!"

Zhang Miaoling was dressed in a long purple dress, her hair piled high in a bun, and she wore no jewelry except for a string of dark green jade necklace that shimmered faintly on her chest.

"Vice President Zhang, I don't want any treasures, I just want one thing you have!"

Taking a deep breath, Lu Feng cupped his hands in greeting again, his eyes fixed on the jade necklace on the other person's chest.

This scene naturally caught Zhang Miaoling's eye.

"You...you want this?"

Seeing that Lu Feng didn't want anything but the jade necklace she was wearing, Zhang Miaoling was also a little surprised. She was stunned for a moment, and then a complicated expression appeared on her pretty face.

"Vice President Zhang, would you be so kind as to grant me this opportunity?"

Seeing Zhang Miaoling's complicated expression, Lu Feng was also a little unsure, so he cupped his hands again to probe.

After all, compared with other treasures, the Immortal Stone is more valuable. This item can not only repair the Treasure Basin, but also indirectly help Gu Canyang, who is the spirit of the artifact, to restore his power. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

"Hehe, it's not a matter of favoritism. Since you want this little thing, here you go."

With another chuckle, Zhang Miaoling seemed to come to her senses. She then slowly unfastened the jade necklace from her chest and handed it to Lu Feng. "Besides, our Alchemist Guild has always kept its word, and Princess Luochuan is an old friend of ours."

A look of relief appeared on Zhang Miaoling's face.

"Princess Luochuan?"

Who is it?

Lu Feng scratched his head in confusion, as he seemed to have never heard of this name before.

"It's nothing. Now that you've received the reward you wanted, you can go back."

Seeing Lu Feng's confused expression, Zhang Miaoling simply smiled and didn't say anything. Then, she flicked her sleeves again, and a refreshing fragrance wafted over once more.

A few breaths later, Lu Feng felt a blurry mist appear before his eyes, and the next moment he found himself back on the sixth floor of the Alchemist Guild, as if he had experienced a transformation, which was quite strange.

"What a brilliant move!"

"Is this a magic trick or a form of sorcery...!"

Lu Feng was slightly surprised, but then he noticed that Zhang Miaoling was staring intently at the jade necklace in her hand, and he couldn't help but pause in surprise.

"Vice President Zhang, is this necklace very important to you?"

Mustering his courage once more, Lu Feng tentatively asked in a low voice.

Although the other party concealed it well and her expression remained unchanged, Lu Feng could vaguely sense that the jade necklace Zhang Miaoling wore on her chest had a different origin and was not an ordinary piece of jewelry.

"Ah! I think I've lost my composure, I'm so sorry."

Seeing that Lu Feng and she were looking at each other, Zhang Miaoling was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again, revealing a girlish shyness, "Little brother Lu Feng, I'm so sorry!"

"It's just that I've worn this jade necklace for a long time, and it was given to me by that person, so now that I'm suddenly giving it to you, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic and reluctant to part with it, haha."

At this point, Zhang Miaoling raised her hand to smooth her gray hair, a hint of emotion appearing on her face, as if recalling a past event.

"That person?"

Lu Feng was also taken aback for a moment.

"Yes, he is my husband, named Shen Lingyun. He was also an alchemist back then, and his talent in alchemy was so high that he was known as the number one young alchemist in the four kingdoms of Lingnan. He had a very promising future."

Zhang Miaoling crossed her arms and explained slowly, a rare tenderness appearing in her beautiful eyes, "It's just a pity that I was too young back then and hadn't yet embarked on the path of alchemy. I only knew how to stay by his side every day, unwilling to leave him even for a moment, but I never thought that this would sometimes hold him back..."

"Speaking of which, back then he was like a shooting star streaking across the night sky. Even Brother Xu Liancheng, who is now the president of the Alchemist Guild and is known as 'Hundred Hands Creating Lotus,' was quite wary of him."

"Hmm, I didn't expect your association to have such a master of alchemy. However, Vice President Zhang, I still have a question..."

Hearing this, Lu Feng scratched his head again, looking curious. "Although I haven't been in Dongyun Capital for long, I see legends about the Three Sects and One Saint everywhere in and around the capital, but there are very few stories about Senior Shen Lingyun..."

"It's simple, he's been dead for many years. How can a dead man attract anyone's attention?"

Faced with Lu Feng's question, Zhang Miaoling merely glanced at him indifferently, then said meaningfully, "Nowadays, apart from Brother Xu, that guy Mengduo, and myself, I'm afraid very few people in the entire Alchemist Guild remember him..."
