Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Miss Qin, it's not that I'm a talkative person..."

Raising his hand to interrupt the other's explanation, Lu Feng frowned slightly and said, "But this thing looks like just an ordinary lilac flower, doesn't it? Are you sure you didn't take the wrong one when you left Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace?"

"Hey! What do you mean by this...!"

Faced with Lu Feng's questioning, Qin Xiaowu was also slightly taken aback. Then, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, and she bristled on the spot, "Lu Feng, are you perhaps doubting that I'm lying to you?!"

"Not to mention that this Spirit-Hiding Fruit was a rare and precious medicine personally bestowed upon Junior Sister Yun by Sister Jiang, and now that I have traveled thousands of miles to Dongyun Kingdom to hand it over to you, you actually doubt me?"

"Hmph! They're really biting the hand that feeds them, not recognizing a kind heart!"

After saying that, Qin Xiaowu turned her head away again, ignoring Lu Feng, seemingly quite angry.

"Could it be that I'm seeing things?"

Seeing that Qin Xiaowu was angry and ignoring him, Lu Feng was equally embarrassed and looked at the dark green flower in his hand again.

Although he had never seen the Hidden Spirit Fruit before and did not know what such a precious medicine looked like, the dark green flower that Qin Xiaowu gave him was indeed completely unrelated to a mature fruit!

"Stop looking! This flower is indeed a genuine Spirit Fruit, but it was forcibly picked before it was ripe, which is why it did not bear fruit."

Seemingly sensing Lu Feng's doubts, Qin Xiaowu pouted and said somewhat irritably.

Not a girl?

Since the Hidden Spirit Fruit isn't ripe, why did you pick it?

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was even more exasperated. "Miss Qin, couldn't you have waited until it was ripe before picking it? Isn't that such a waste..."

So he wasn't seeing things; the Spirit Fruit in Qin Xiaowu's hand really wasn't fully mature.

As for an unripe Hidden Spirit Fruit, its medicinal effects are naturally greatly reduced, amounting to less than half that of a ripe one!

"Hmph, you make it sound so easy, kid!"

With another cold snort, Qin Xiaowu slightly raised her chin, saying with a touch of arrogance, "Do you know how long it takes to cultivate a fully mature Spirit Fruit?"

"how long?"

Lu Feng hurriedly pressed for an answer, only to see Qin Xiaowu slowly raise one finger.

"A year?"

"You're dreaming! A whole hundred years!"

Qin Xiaowu gave a cold laugh, then revealed her small tiger teeth, "Even some veteran alchemy masters who are well-versed in pharmacology would need to spend over a hundred years to cultivate a complete Hidden Spirit Fruit!"

"Although the Spirit-Hidden Fruit that Sister Jiang gave to Junior Sister Yun is not yet ripe, it is over fifty years old. However, if you don't want it now, I won't force you. You can come and take it when it is fully ripe in fifty years."

After saying that, Qin Xiaowu took the opportunity to take back the Spirit-Hiding Fruit, while Lu Feng was slightly stunned. He took several steps back and put the dark green flower in his hand into his pocket.

"Miss Qin, let's forget about it! It's not ripe yet, so be it. As long as it's usable..."

Lu Feng grinned and said with a fawning smile.

After all, if we wait another fifty years, it will be too late!

Moreover, he currently possesses the Treasure Basin, and with its ability to accelerate time, he can significantly shorten the development time of the Spirit Fruit, thus allowing it to ripen ahead of schedule!

"Hmph, if there's nothing else, I really must be leaving. Farewell!"

After glancing once more at Lu Feng, who was all smiles, Qin Xiaowu dusted herself off and then soared into the sky, disappearing as a streak of crimson light, displaying the heroic spirit of a woman who comes and goes without a trace.

"Young Brother Lu, if you ever need anything in the future, you are welcome to visit the Alchemist Guild. I will take my leave now."

After Qin Xiaowu left, Xu Liancheng didn't linger. He simply greeted Lu Feng and then hurriedly left with his subordinates, including Zhang Miaoling, as if he had other important matters to attend to.

"Young Master Lu, see you next time~"

Before leaving, Zhang Miaoling suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Feng behind her. Her alluring red lips parted slightly, and she gave him a flirtatious wink, which made the latter's body tremble slightly and his lower body tighten.

"Damn it! That vixen is trying to seduce me again...!"

Lu Feng quickly avoided Zhang Miaoling's alluring gaze, while silently reciting Buddhist scriptures to dispel the evil thought in his mind.

After all, just now, because of Qin Xiaowu, Ren Xuanfei almost lost control and started a fight. Now that Zhang Miaoling has arrived, it will definitely be a three-way battleground, which is likely to completely explode!

call out!

Suddenly, another dark figure attacked from the side, which made Lu Feng's heart skip a beat. He immediately reached out with his palm.

"Who?!"

He caught the approaching black shadow in his palm, but the next moment Lu Feng's expression froze, and he stood there stunned. "This is... a high-grade storage ring?"

The dark figure revealed its true form; it was none other than a high-grade storage ring, neatly containing approximately 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones—a truly generous offering!

After all, a full 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones is enough to buy an eighth-grade spiritual treasure, which is not a small amount even for an ordinary Spirit Soul Realm martial artist!

"Lu Feng, it's me!"

Another calm and steady young voice came from afar.

The next moment, Guo Tianlin leaped forward, then crossed his arms and looked at Lu Feng with a cold expression. "Lu Feng, don't think that just because you beat me and saved my life, I'll submit to you! Our match isn't over yet...!"

"Sooner or later, I, Guo Tianlin, will definitely beat you!"

"As for the spirit stones inside this storage ring, consider them a small token of my gratitude. If you feel you've been shortchanged, you're welcome to come to the Guo family of the Northern Wei Kingdom to find me later, so you won't accuse me of taking advantage of you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Tianlin didn't give Lu Feng a chance to speak. He turned around and disappeared in a wisp of green smoke, seemingly having completely given up the idea of ​​proposing marriage to Ren Tianxing.

After all, as long as Lu Feng is still around, his chances of marrying Princess Luochuan, Ren Xuanfei, are practically zero.

"So this guy's a total tsundere too..."

Seeing Guo Tianlin drop a storage ring and run away, Lu Feng also touched his nose, a playful look on his face.

Despite being inferior to him in every way, his opponent remained inexplicably confident, and even after losing, he stubbornly refused to admit defeat. He was undeniably arrogant.

"whispering sound...!"

Seeing everyone leave one after another, Ren Xuanfei, who was standing to the side, also pouted and then turned around and left without paying attention to Lu Feng, seemingly still angry with him.

"Miss Ren, please wait!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng also quickly stepped forward and stopped the other party.

"Miss Ren... no, Consort Xuan."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Feng hesitated slightly before explaining softly, "Qin Xiaowu is always prone to exaggeration, so please don't take it to heart. As for me, she and I are just ordinary friends, definitely not the kind of relationship you're imagining..."

"Xuanfei, I hope you can believe me...!"

"Yes, I believe you."

Faced with Lu Feng's explanation, Ren Xuanfei, unusually, did not question it, but instead nodded obediently.

"Very good...!"

Seeing that the other party had finally calmed down, Lu Feng's tense heart also relaxed, and he immediately asked, "Consort Xuan, about our wedding ceremony..."

"Stop! What wedding ceremony? Did I ever agree to that?"

Ren Xuanfei raised her hand again to interrupt Lu Feng, then turned to look at him, her beautiful eyes now faintly filled with resentment and jealousy.

"Huh? But you just said you had no objections..."

Lu Feng was a little confused.

Why is the plot not going the way he expected?

"Excuse me! I had no objection before, but I do have one now!"

"As for the wedding ceremony, let's talk about that later, hmph!"

Seemingly delighted to see Lu Feng's discomfiture, Ren Xuanfei's lips curled into a sly smile. She then turned and hummed a little tune as she walked away, leaving Lu Feng looking utterly bewildered.

"What the hell is going on here...!"

At this moment, Lu Feng couldn't help but recall the old saying his mother often said: "Women are like water, unpredictable and ever-changing. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people!"

Lu Feng was too young to understand the meaning of those words before, but now he has finally understood!

Women are not only troublesome, but also really difficult to deal with!
