Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Brother Wu, since you've made up your mind, I won't say any more. Take care in the future!"

Composing himself, Lu Feng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Wu Yunran again, clearly not intending to persuade her to stay.

After all, the other party has sick parents and a younger sister to take care of at home, so it is impossible for them to stay at Falling Star Academy for long.

"Brother Lu, please take care too!"

Faced with Lu Feng's parting words, Wu Yunran was equally moved. She immediately cupped her hands in return and said, "I'm not good at saying auspicious words, but Brother Lu, if you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit the Wu Yun tribe. I will definitely treat you well..."

At this point, Wu Yunran grinned again, but a hint of sadness flickered in her eyes.

Because he was very clear about the difference in strength between himself and Lu Feng.

Moreover, after this parting at Falling Star Academy, the gap in strength between the two will not only widen further, but they will also find it difficult to meet again in the future!

After all, the Southern Barbarian Lands have always been xenophobic, and almost all the barbarian tribes harbor hostility towards outside martial artists. Even though Wu Yunran himself does not agree with this phenomenon, he is powerless to change it.

This is also one of the reasons why Wu Yunran felt secretly sad.

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Compared to Wu Yunran's gloomy mood, Lu Feng merely nodded, seemingly somewhat absent-minded.

Because, compared to Wu Yunran's departure from the hospital and return to his hometown, he was more concerned about the bounty for Yelü Jue's head and the upcoming Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament.

"Miss Ren once mentioned that there are less than six months until the next Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament. If I can break through to the Yuanhai Realm before the tournament begins, it will be very beneficial for me, with no drawbacks whatsoever!"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng clenched his fists, a fiery glint appearing in his eyes.

After all, the ranking of the four countries' martial arts competitions is also linked to the Yuan Stone mines left over from the former Yan Han Dynasty. The higher the ranking of a country, the larger the share of the Yuan Stone mines it can ultimately claim.

Given Lu Feng's close relationship with Ren Xuanfei, and with the support of his future father-in-law Ren Tianxing, as long as he can show his skills in the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Competition and achieve good results for Dongyun Kingdom, he can also get a share of the Yuan Stone Mine!

"Oh, right, Brother Lu, there's something else I want to give you...!"

Before leaving, Wu Yunran seemed to remember something, so she stopped and took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, handing it to Lu Feng.

"This, this is... a Celestial Stone?!"

He reached out and took the small cloth bag, only to find that it contained three incomplete silver-white stones, each about the size of a thumb. Lu Feng's expression changed slightly, and his pupils contracted sharply.

Although more than a year has passed since the last time the Treasure Basin was repaired, and Lu Feng has not found any new Immortal-Nourishing Stones for a long time, his memory is still very good.

Therefore, Lu Feng immediately recognized the silver-white stones in the small bag as the Immortal-Nourishing Stones, which were almost extinct on the continent and priceless!

"Strange! This dark-faced boy comes from a small, impoverished tribe in the south, a remote, godforsaken mountain village. Where did he get his hands on the Immortal-Nourishing Stone?"

"Did this dark-faced kid just get incredibly lucky?"

Gu Canyang's surprised voice also came from beside him, seemingly stunned by the "little gift" that Wu Yunran had given him.

After all, the Immortal Stone not only contains primordial immortal power, but its value is also extraordinary. Even in the current Misty Continent, it is a rare commodity and almost extinct. Even some of the old sects on the continent do not have many of them.

Therefore, when Gu Canyang, who was originally sleeping in the treasure basin, saw Wu Yunran casually take out several priceless Immortal-Nourishing Stones, he was naturally alarmed.

"Immortal-Nourishing Stone?"

Seeing Lu Feng's astonished expression, Wu Yunran only paused for a moment before scratching his head in confusion. "Brother Lu, do you perhaps recognize this item as well?"

Wu Yunran was still completely bewildered, clearly unaware of what the Immortal-Nourishing Stone the other party was referring to.

"Brother Wu, where did you get these Immortal-Containing... uh, these beautiful stones?"

Ignoring Gu Canyang's astonishment, Lu Feng carefully put away the Immortal-Nourishing Stone in the cloth bag, then suppressed his joy and tentatively asked.

Because these Immortal-Nourishing Stones are not complete in shape and size, they were obviously broken by human hands. And Wu Yunran, a young man from an ordinary southern barbarian background, possesses priceless Immortal-Nourishing Stones, which obviously has another reason behind it.

"Brother Lu, this item is called Silverlight Stone. It was unearthed from an underground mine by the Dark Cloud Tribe. However, the chieftain and the other great lords have studied it for a long time but have been unable to determine its value..."

"Moreover, this item cannot be used as material for forging spiritual weapons. Even if it were taken to some cultivator markets outside, it wouldn't fetch much money. In the end, in order not to waste it, the chieftain sent people to smash all these silver stones into pieces and distribute them to everyone as decorations..."

Faced with Lu Feng's question, Wu Yunran did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

"Worthless? All smashed to pieces? And then used as decorations?"

After hearing Wu Yunran's explanation, Lu Feng's lips twitched, his heart feeling as if it were being torn apart. "Damn! This is such a waste! This is a rare Immortal-Nourishing Stone, almost extinct on the continent...!"

Lu Feng couldn't help but silently complain in his heart.

However, he did not blame Wu Yunran for his wasteful behavior, because neither Wu Yunran nor the barbarians of the Wu Yun tribe recognized the Immortal-Nourishing Stone, nor did they know its great value.

"Brother Lu, are you alright?"

Seeing Lu Feng remain silent with a solemn expression, Wu Yunran couldn't help but speak up, because it was the first time he had ever seen the former show such a solemn expression, especially for a few worthless "silverstones".

"Uh, it's nothing!"

Composing himself, Lu Feng looked at Wu Yunran again and tentatively asked, "By the way, Brother Wu, may I ask if you have any other Immortal-Nourishing... uh, Silver Light Stones at home?"

Although the other party didn't recognize its value, this was still good news for Lu Feng.

After all, the Immortal Stone not only contains primordial immortal power, but can also be used to repair the Treasure Basin whose spiritual energy has been damaged.

Lu Feng was just worried about where to collect Immortal Stones, but Wu Yunran's Wu Yun tribe had unearthed a large number of Immortal Stones. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was just about to fall asleep. His luck was off the charts!

"Brother Lu, these are all the silver stones I have, but it seems my parents and sister still have some left..."

Faced with Lu Feng's question, Wu Yunran was somewhat curious but didn't press the matter. She simply scratched her head and said, "If you're interested in these silver stones, Brother Lu, I can send them to you when I return home!"

"Hehe, Brother Wu, you're too kind."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Lu Feng grinned and said, "Now that I need their help, I naturally have to come in person. Coincidentally, I also know a little about alchemy and medicine. Perhaps I can treat your parents' illnesses during my trip to the Wuyun Tribe..."

Originally, he planned to stay out of it, but after hearing that Wu Yunran's tribe had unearthed a large number of Immortal-Nourishing Stones, Lu Feng immediately changed his mind.

He absolutely had to go on this trip to the southern barbarians!

There was no way Lu Feng could resist the temptation of the Immortal Stone; he simply couldn't refuse, and he had no reason to refuse!
