TFHS: Chapter 135

Sheng Duo gloated. “The guy surnamed Wu died quickly. It was actually too easy for him. He should’ve suffered more so that he knows what it is like to be a useless person and see how he can harm others in the future.”

Gong Yuming patted Sheng Duo on the shoulder. In fact, after learning that Wu Yingyan’s dantian was destroyed in the Netherworld Valley, Gong Yuming had doubted whether Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo had taken action. It was because it was too much of a coincidence.

He heard it was due to Wu Yingyan accidentally falling into a formation trap and this made Gong Yuming even more suspicious.

Others didn’t know it, but he knew that Bai Qiaomo was the formation genius called Wu Hai.

Combine this with Feng Ming’s fearless temper and his instigation, and Bai Qiaomo might really do such a thing.

However, he didn’t think Bai Qiaomo could be blamed for the raid of the u family. After all, he didn’t think Bai Qiaomo had such great ability and energy.

Judging from various signs, this matter was the result of the struggle for imperial power among the princes.

The noble concubine of the Wu family and the prince born to him had to withdraw from the struggle for imperial power.

It was just that the timing was too coincidental. Even if Wu Yingyan was still alive, it would be impossible for him to use the Wu family’s power to do anything.

This was a good thing for Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo. After all, Wu Yingyan was too narrow-minded and would definitely cause trouble for them if there was a chance.

Gong Yuming nodded in agreement. “That’s right. It is too easy for him to die like this. Otherwise, hehe…”

Otherwise, once the news of Bai Qiaomo’s recovery of his dantian and further improved cultivation spread, he believed Wu Yingyan would be so angry that he would definitely vomit blood.

However, it was useless to be angry to death. He could only watch Bai Qiaomo getting better and better and going higher and higher, never catching up with him.

It was a pity that such a scene could no longer be seen.

Song Wantong had eaten too many melons recently. He asked, “Young Master Gong, do you think the Feng family will save Senior Sister Feng Linlang?”

Sheng Duo immediately looked at Gong Yuming.

Gong Yuming touched his chin. “Maybe. In fact, ordinary people can’t figure out the thoughts of the head of the Feng family. Even if she is rescued, she can’t go back to the past. What can she do with such a stupid father?”

Song Wantong thought in his heart, ‘In fact, Senior Sister Feng isn’t very smart or how could she agree to marry him? Senior Sister Feng couldn’t come up with a better idea.’

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo came out for training this time and gained a lot. So after they left their city, they discussed their next itinerary. They first found a place to retreat, sorted out their recent gains, and headed to the base of the Wind Eagle mercenary group.

He knew that his father was capable and not weak, so he didn’t need the worry of Feng Ming, a weakling who hadn’t advanced to the essence liquid realm.

Feng Ming just wanted to see his father. He couldn’t rest assured until he saw the development of the Wind Eagle mercenary group with his own eyes.

Besides, he had saved a lot of best-grade pills along with the recent harvest of yuan crystals. He wanted to give them to his father so that the mercenary group could develop faster.

Bai Qiaomo had more confidence in Father Feng than Feng Ming, but since Feng Ming wanted to see his father, Bai Qiaomo would naturally accompany him.

He knew that Feng Ming and his father had a good relationship. It would be strange that Feng Ming didn’t miss his father after being separated for such a long time.

After leaving Guanglin City, the two of them found a mountain range in the area where desolate beasts lived. In a place with sufficient energy, they drove away the desolate beasts here and occupied the valley.

Bai Qiaomo set up a formation to cover the valley layer by layer, making the entire valley disappear from the sight and perception of the desolate beasts.

After doing all of this, Bai Qiaomo released the mansion they had collected from the Netherworld Valley and activated the formations.

In this way, even the powerful essence dan realm cultivators couldn’t think of attacking it. The two of them couldn’t be safer when retreating in such a place.

Bai Qiaomo gave Feng Ming the maximum authority before taking him to visit various places in the mansion and the collections.

“The original owner of this mansion was in the soul opening realm when he left this mansion. After he left Feihong Continent, he left the mansion in the Netherworld Valley for the destined ones.”

Feng Ming was surprised. “So the original owner is very powerful.”

Bai Qiaomo nodded. “Yes, there are some collections left in this mansion that he can’t use, but there are treasures for cultivators below the soul opening realm. However, the most valuable place in this mansion is the library. This senior is very knowledgeable and has a very rich collection of books.”

Bai Qiaomo brought Feng Ming to the library as he spoke. Feng Ming looked at the two rows of bookshelves in surprise.

He hadn’t looked at other places, but he agreed with Bai Qiaomo’s statement that this was the most valuable place in the entire mansion.

Bai Qiaomo knew that Feng Ming would like it very much. They had a lot in common on this point. No matter how good the other treasures were, they weren’t as practical as the skills they had learned.

“I took a quick glance. There are books on all aspects such as medicine, formations, weapons refining, and talismans. There are also miscellaneous books on history, geography and travel notes. There are even storybooks.”

Feng Ming was really happy when he heard this. “I like miscellaneous books. I prefer travel books and story books.”

Feng Ming didn’t look at other places. He plunged into the library and looked through the books inside.

Bai Qiaomo smiled and shook his head. There was indeed no need to look carefully at the other collections in the cave. They were just some resources needed for cultivation.

But both of them now had no shortage of these resources, making these books even more precious.

There was one thing that Bai Qiaomo didn’t tell Feng Ming. This senior also left a letter for the destined juniors who inherited the mansion.

The letter warned the juniors to stay away from the imperial family and Shengyuan Sect, and to be careful of the conspiracy between the imperial family and Shengyuan Sect. The senior left the way he left Feihong Continent to inspire future generations.

It was a pity that the path taken by the senior couldn’t be used by future generations. It was because the senior found a one-time teleportation circle that was completely invalid after teleporting the senior away. Still, the senior thought there should be other similar teleportation circles in Feihong Continent.

Bai Qiaomo wasn’t worried about this at all because he had successfully left Feihong Continent in his previous life, and the path he took wasn’t one controlled by the three imperial families and the Shengyuan Sect. Instead, it was discovered by chance during his training, and it wasn’t one-time.

After being reborn, he didn’t want to get into any more entanglements with the imperial families and the Shengyuan Sect. He still wanted to use that path.

Nevertheless, he was grateful for the reminder from the senior. In his previous life, he actually had an intuition that joining the imperial families or Shengyuan sect, traveling to different worlds through the channels they controlled, was definitely not that simple.

In this world, there was no such thing as a pie falling from the sky. How could the three imperial families and the Shengyuan Sect not ask for rewards? This reward was probably beyond the psychological endurance of the cultivators.

In his new life, he was much calmer than his previous life. Maybe he could find out what the three imperial families and the Shengyuan Sect were doing.

Bai Qiaomo held a way out in hand, so he wasn’t worried about their machinations or threats.

As Feng Ming was reading, Bai Qiaomo rearranged the mansion. He packed up the alchemy and formations room, and put all items related to these two professions in the mansion into them. This would ensure that Feng Ming could get everything for alchemy when he needed it.

Feng Ming had a lot of fun in the library before coming out. They still had a lot of things to sort out, such as the storage ring obtained from the burial place of the senior who died in the Netherworld Valley. Feng Ming hadn’t looked at it until now.

The two of them stayed in the main hall of the mansion and took out the storage ring. This storage ring looked more ancient.

“By the way, Brother Bai, do you want to check the history books to find out what period this senior is from?”

Bai Qiaomo nodded. “I have already read it. There are relevant history books in the library. I can deduce that the senior was from at least 3,000 years ago.

Feng Ming gasped. “It has been so long? Then is the senior’s enemy still alive?”

He had only lived for so many years in his two lives. In his previous life, a person who lived to be over 100 had lived a very long life. Here, it could easily last hundreds to thousands of years.

His father had advanced to the essence dan realm. The lifespan of an essence dan realm cultivator could be increased to 500 years. Once he reached the soul opening realm, it would double again and become 1,000 years.

Going further up, it shouldn’t be difficult for those extremely powerful people outside Feihong Continent to live for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Bai Qiaomo shook his head. “I don’t know. We won’t know until we go there and ask around.”

In fact, neither of them had much hope. After all, the time gap was too long, and many things could change in 3,000 years.

But no matter what, the two of them must go on this trip.

As he spoke, Feng Ming opened the storage ring. There weren’t many items inside, which was what he had expected in advance.

After all, the senior was on the run while being chased by his enemies. Most of the resources he carried were consumed, and he had no time to replenish them.

As they expected, the senior was very poor, and the yuan crystals they took out were only low-grade yuan crystals, in other words, the yuan crystals that Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were used to using. The total number was a bit more than 100,000.

Feng Ming had more than this amount in Qingyun City, which showed how poor this senior was.

Most of the pill bottles were empty. For the ones that still contained pills, Feng Ming found that most of the medicinal properties had been lost. They were basically useless pills and were difficult to take. The collected spiritual plants were in similar condition.

Even if the time in the storage ring was almost stagnant, there was still a certain amount of time passing. It was just that this time was negligible in the short term.

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo paid more attention to the alchemy inheritance that the senior might’ve left behind. After all, the senior himself was an alchemist.

Sure enough, most of the jade slips and books in the storage ring were related to alchemy.

The rest were all miscellaneous items that weren’t of much value. Nevertheless, the most important things were already in hand. The value of the soil left by the senior alone was immeasurable.

For an alchemist, no treasure was as important as this one.

Feng Ming found the most important alchemy inheritance, took a quick glance, and made a major discovery.

“Brother Bai, the alchemy inheritance of this senior is actually the same as the Shengyuan Sect.”

Bai Qiaomo was also surprised when he heard this. “Wait a minute, let me check where the senior comes from… I found it. The senior is from the Xuanyang Sect of the Shengxing Continent.

“The Xuanyang Sect of the Shengxing Continent? Could it have anything to do with the Shengyuan Sect? Or is the Shengyuan Sect actually a sect under the Xuanyang Sect?”

Bai Qiaomo nodded. “It is possible.”
