Li Rong glared at the anxious Zhao Baihu.
He instantly withered and looked dejected.
Just like that, Zhou Feng and Li Rong walked into a private room.
Throughout the entire process, w.a.n.g Jin and the others were ignored.
!!
w.a.n.g Jin, who had previously said some harsh words, felt that countless eyes were staring at him now.
“What is this?”
At that moment, w.a.n.g Jin was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
A vagabond cultivator actually ignored him! Moreover, he really didn’t have the courage to make a move just now.
“I… I… “
Under the situation where his mind was unsettled, the Spiritual Qi in w.a.n.g Jin’s body started to riot uncontrollably.
…
On the other side, Zhou Feng and Li Rong were currently alone in a private room.
“May I ask if you can tell me about the Malevolent Earth Qi?”
Zhou Feng looked at Li Rong, who was frozen in place.
Compared to before, Li Rong seemed to have changed a little. At least, she didn’t have the silly and sweet temperament from before.
Now, she seemed more capable.
“Oh!”
After hearing his words, Li Rong looked as if she had woken up from a dream.
“Malevolent Earth Qi! It was once found on our clan’s Spirit Stone mine!”
Li Rong shared the information about the Malevolent Earth Qi in a straight line.
Throughout the entire process, she kept her head lowered.
Ever since she was young, Li Rong had never been so close to a man, especially when it came to the scent that Zhou Feng was emitting.
It was inexplicably attractive, which made Li Rong a little shy.
Zhou Feng’s cultivation of the Human Emperor Scripture had increased his charm, and coupled with the pa.s.sive Amorous Prodigal Heart Li Rong found him irresistible.
That was especially so when they were so close together.
“But even I might not be able to get close to the Spirit Stone Vein! So…”
Zhou Feng did not even need to think about the Malevolent Earth Qi in the Li Clan’s Spirit Stone Vein.
That was because Li experts were guarding it at all times.
Even Li Rong might not be able to enter.
But apart from her clan’s Spirit Stone Vein, Li Rong also knew of a place that had Malevolent Earth Qi.
That was the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm. Strictly speaking, this Heavenly Star Mystic Realm was related to the Heavenly Star Gathering here.
The Heavenly Star Mystic Realm was a mystic realm within the Heavenly Star City, and the City Lord controlled it.
This Heavenly Star Mystic Realm would open every once in a while, and only cultivators below the Divine Ability realm could enter it.
Of course, this was not the mystic realm’s restriction but rather the City Lord’s rule.
This Heavenly Star Mystic Realm was not called the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm in the beginning.
The first to discover this mystic realm was the City Lord of Heavenly Star City.
It was also by relying on the resources of this mystic realm that the Heavenly Star Patriarch had broken through to the Divine Ability realm.
Most of the good things inside had long been plundered clean.
Now, rather than calling this Heavenly Star Mystic Realm a mystic realm, it was more like a place to temper oneself.
Every once in a while, the City Lord would allow a group of people to enter the Heavenly Star Secret Realm for training.
Zhou Feng found long-winded words tiresome, so he asked directly, “In other words, the Heavenly Star Secret Realm has Malevolent Earth Qi?”
“That’s right. The Heavenly Star Secret Realm’s environment resembles that of ancient times, so some places have Malevolent Earth Qi.”
Li Rong was no longer as nervous as she was at the beginning.
“What are the conditions to enter the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm?” he directly asked the key point.
“Outstanding performance in the Heavenly Star Gathering, or rather, every large clan has a quota!”
In the face of Zhou Feng’s questioning, Li Rong was like an obedient baby, saying whatever was on her mind.
If one wanted to enter the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm, the easiest way was to become a disciple of a large clan.
For example, a large clan like the Li Clan had a fixed quota.
Other than that, they had to appear in the Heavenly Star Gatherings and get the attention of the City Lord’s faction.
After that, they could enter the Heavenly Star Secret Realm by joining the City Lord’s faction.
In any case, if a vagabond cultivator wanted to enter the Heavenly Star Secret Realm, other than becoming the disciple of a large clan, they had to join the City Lord’s faction.
‘Join the City Lord’s faction?’
A thoughtful expression appeared on Zhou Feng’s face.
Joining other large clans was basically excluded because even if he was willing, the other large clans would not give him the quota.
As such, he could only choose to join and become a member of the City Lord’s faction.
To put it bluntly, apart from the exchange between the various top factions, this Heavenly Star Gathering was also a gathering to discover vagabond cultivator geniuses.
The purpose was to make it easier for the City Lord’s faction to recruit geniuses.
As for wanting to enter the Heavenly Star Secret Realm without paying anything? That was impossible!
The Heavenly Star Secret Realm itself was a scarce cultivation resource. A smelly wandering cultivator like Zhou Feng simply did not have the qualifications to touch it.
In fact, if it weren’t for Li Rong telling him, he wouldn’t even know the name of the Heavenly Star Secret Realm.
This was also why the gap between wandering cultivators and cultivators from aristocratic clans was so big.
This was because these forces had first surrounded all the resources in this world and then dedicated them to their own small circle.
As a vagabond cultivator, unless one had many fortuitous encounters, there was no possibility of surpa.s.sing the cultivators from the big clans.
“It just so happens that I have a spot!”
Li Rong’s voice suddenly became much softer upon looking at Zhou Feng, who was frowning slightly.
Zhou Feng raised his head to look at Li Rong and asked, “What’s the price?”
At that moment, both parties just happened to meet each other’s eyes, and the atmosphere around them seemed to be a little strange.
A trace of embarra.s.sment crept onto Li Rong’s face, but she still mustered up the courage to look at Zhou Feng.
“I want you to protect me! I will also enter the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm!”
That’s right! Li Rong also wanted to enter the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm.
During this period, Li Rong had finally understood that only with sufficient strength could she control her own life.
She wanted to live like Zhou Feng and be free and easy, to be able to control her own life at will.
It was precisely because of this that Li Rong began to work hard in cultivation and slowly changed her personality.
Other than this, there was another reason.
That was that she wanted to pursue her love. Even if it was just a moment of impulse, she was still hot-headed.
Li Rong wanted to give it a try. She had been in a large clan like the Li Clan for more than 20 years. She wanted to do something that went against the rules.
“No problem!”
Zhou Feng agreed without even frowning upon feeling Li Rong’s burning gaze.
Zhou Feng could more or less sense Li Rong’s thoughts.
Although he wasn’t sure what he had that was worthy of a n.o.ble lady’s favor, as long as he obtained Malevolent Earth Qi, then all of this wasn’t a problem.
As long as Li Rong ran into a wall with him a few times, her impulsive emotions should dissipate quite a bit.
“Oh right, this is for you.”
After thinking for a moment, in order to not owe her a favor, Zhou Feng gave the two top-grade spiritual artifacts that he had gotten from w.a.n.g Shu to Li Rong.
“Aren’t these…”
When Li Rong saw the two spiritual artifacts, she was completely stunned.
“This is the reward for the information regarding the Malevolent Earth Qi. As for protecting you, it’s the reward for that slot!” Zhou Feng explained..
