Chapter 77: A Pleasant Conversation with Yao Wei
Chapter 77: A Pleasant Conversation with Yao Wei
After many days, seeing the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang again stirred a few emotions in Qin Feng's heart.
That night at the Water Moon Pavilion in the Holy City, the two sides should have been enemies, but because of Xiao Yan's bottle of medicine, they were unexpectedly entangled together.
She knew how long his roots were, and he knew how deep her foundation was.
In this era, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang is undoubtedly a prominent figure, possessing unfathomable soul techniques that allow her to directly access the essence of things.
The two merely brushed past each other at the stone archway that day, yet the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang sensed his soul fluctuations and thus uncovered his method of altering the world.
Fortunately, Qin Feng did not have a deep conversation with the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang at the gathering of the Holy Sons in the Southern Region; otherwise, she would have seen through his secrets.
Qin Feng had come to Yaochi to participate in the Peach Banquet, and he naturally guessed that he might meet Yao Wei again. However, he was not worried about his identity being exposed, because he had already made preparations.
Having learned from that night's experience, Qin Feng has spent his days away from the Holy City focusing on researching the 'Void Tower', aside from nuclear bombings of various holy sites.
The Tower of the Void!!!
The core secret technique inherited by the Devouring World Meteorite Star lineage focuses on the field of soul defense.
Hu Yanbo, the lord of Meteorite Star, is a master of the soul, with extremely high attainments in the field of the soul.
Qin Feng doesn't need to fully master the Void Tower; he only needs to use it to conceal his soul fluctuations.
As it turns out, the Void Tower's concealment effect is excellent.
When Yao Wei, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, first saw Qin Feng, she was somewhat suspicious because she felt that his figure was somewhat familiar.
Now that his soul fluctuations have been tested, his expression has returned to normal, ruling out Qin Feng as a suspect.
"We meet again, Holy Maiden Yao Guang." Qin Feng greeted Yao Wei with a smile.
"I am truly honored that the Holy Son Tianxuan still remembers me after our hasty farewell in the Southern Region..." Yao Wei made no attempt to hide her goodwill.
The internal power struggles within the Yao Guang Holy Land are intensifying. If Qin Feng, who possesses half of an imperial weapon, can be recruited into the Yao family's camp, it will undoubtedly be a great help.
"Not at all. The Holy Maiden is so beautiful and ethereal that one will never forget her once seen." Qin Feng said meaningfully, his smile almost impossible to suppress.
The feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife is just too exciting.
"Holy Son, you are the one with divine martial prowess. That day in the Southern Region, you moved through the demon army as if it were empty, which is truly admirable..."
The two of them sang in unison, and anyone who didn't know them would think they were a couple.
Xiao Yan and Luo Feng exchanged a glance, both feeling that something was off about the group admin today.
The holy sons and daughters of various holy lands and great religions were all filled with astonishment, and they all turned their gazes toward the Holy Son of Yao Guang.
Throughout the entire process, the Holy Son of Yaoguang simply watched quietly with a smile on his face, completely unmoved.
The Holy Son of Yaoguang didn't say anything, but the Holy Maiden of Yaochi couldn't stand it anymore.
When did Qin Feng and the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang become so close?
Yao Xiaoqi wrinkled her nose slightly. She was the one who arrived first; they were old acquaintances.
"Holy Sons and Daughters, Yaochi has prepared a feast. Please take your seats and let us discuss further." The Holy Daughter of Yaochi made an invitation.
The fairies of Yaochi, who were also responsible for receiving the holy sons and daughters, led the way.
The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang nodded slightly to Qin Feng and left together with the Holy Son of Yaoguang.
"Everyone's already gone, why are you still looking?" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi couldn't help but glare at Qin Feng.
"Ahem," Qin Feng coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, and changed the subject, "I almost forgot, let me introduce you. These are Luo Feng and Xiao Yan, my friends."
"Fellow Daoist Luo, Fellow Daoist Xiao," the Holy Maiden of Yaochi nodded in acknowledgment.
"Greetings, Holy Maiden." Luo Feng and Xiao Yan returned the greeting.
"Follow me." The Holy Maiden of Yaochi personally led the way, bringing Qin Feng and the other two to a quiet and elegant bamboo forest.
The purple bamboo was as white as jade, its joints glistening. Occasionally, a few medicinal herbs could be seen in the woods, all of which were hundreds of years old. Xiao Yan's eyes lit up at the sight, and his teacher Yao Lao's exclamation kept echoing in his mind.
"We've arrived. Qin Feng, you and your two friends can stay here."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi pointed to the exquisite dwelling in front of her, with a clear lake beside it, serene and peaceful.
"Yao Xiaoqi, I won't thank you. I'll need your help showing me and my friends around. It would be even better if we could have some more peaches to eat," Qin Feng said with a bright smile.
"You really don't hold back at all." Yao Xiaoqi rolled her eyes charmingly. "Come with me."
Before long, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi intercepted a plate of spirit peaches for Qin Feng and his companions.
Qin Feng, Luo Feng, and Xiao Yan each received one, and they also made sure to prepare one for Wang Xuan and Lu Mingfei, who were absent.
"This immortal peach is so delicious!" Xiao Yan took a bite, and the juice instantly overflowed. The wonderful taste made him completely intoxicated.
"As expected of the Jade Pool Immortal Peach, it is truly a masterpiece." Luo Feng exclaimed in admiration.
"Is it really that good? I think it's just so-so. If it were the fruit from the oldest peach tree..." Qin Feng jokingly said, pretending to be serious.
"You really dare to dream. Even my sister can't eat the fruit that grows on the peach tree," the Holy Maiden of Yaochi said irritably.
"Don't be discouraged. I'll go to the Divine Ruins and find the real Immortal Peach Tree, and bring you and Sister Yiyi real peaches," Qin Feng said casually.
"You're just bragging..." Yao Xiaoqi was amused and didn't take Qin Feng's boastful words to heart at all.
After all, that's the Divine Ruins, one of the seven forbidden zones of life in the Eastern Wilderness, alongside the Undying Mountain, the Primordial Ancient Mine, and the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
There has always been no exit from there, and no one has been able to fully explore its secrets. It is said that the place is a relic left by the gods, and there are even rumors that there is a South Heavenly Gate in the Divine Ruins, a majestic heavenly palace, vast and boundless, without end.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the ancient sages of Yaochi survived countless hardships and narrowly escaped from the Divine Ruins to return home.
The forbidden zone of life must never be trodden upon. This ironclad rule is a lesson learned by generations of cultivators, and Tianxuan has used the entire holy land as a bloody warning to the world.
Yao Xiaoqi opened her mouth, intending to warn Qin Feng against ever venturing into the forbidden zone, but then stopped herself, afraid of stirring up those painful memories deep within Qin Feng's heart.
"arrive."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi stood beside a wide spring pool shrouded in a thin mist.
"Even though we can't eat it, it's no problem to bring you here to see it."
Yao Xiaoqi pointed to the edge of the Immortal Pool, where there stood an ancient tree, vigorous as a dragon, tens of meters tall, stretching towards the sky.
It takes root by the Immortal Pool, bearing several fruits with a rich, fragrant aroma that soothes the skin and makes one's pores open; it is clearly a peerless medicinal treasure.
"Huh, that stone under the peach tree has nine orifices and eight holes, it looks just like a person," Xiao Yan said in surprise.
"That stone... it's alive!" Luo Feng exclaimed in shock after carefully sensing it.
Qin Feng's heart also stirred, but not for the Holy Spirit Stone King, but because the little thing he brought back from the Devouring World had awakened.
