TFHS: Chapter 79

It wasn’t too late when Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo arrived. After some time, the scent of the Blood Moon Lotus would attract all the creatures in the swamp.

Now they were just about to move, but the scent was blocked by Bai Qiaomo’s formation. The scent could no longer be transmitted to the swamp area of the formation.

Cultivators who accidentally passed by the swamp would no longer be able to detect the abnormal movements in the swamp.

It was difficult to smell the medicinal fragrance inside, even if the medicinal mink was here.

Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming were guarding the edge of the swamp where the Blood Moon Lotus grew. The formation they set up this time gave Bai Qiaomo a lot of experience. “I borrowed some of the restriction methods in the valley. The restriction there has the effect of blocking. It is a pity that we couldn’t stay long, so I couldn’t study it more deeply.”

Feng Ming suggested, “Then let’s go back quietly?”

Bai Qiaomo shook his head. “That isn’t necessary. If something happens at the valley, people will be suspicious of us. It isn’t worth taking such a big risk. Give me some time. I might be able to arrange a formation restriction with the same effect.”

Feng Ming gave a thumbs up. “Brother Bai is awesome. Then we will just guard the Blood Moon Lotus for the next two days.”

“Okay.”

The vital energy conditions here might be a bit poor, but they were both masters who weren’t short of yuan crystals.

They each had more than 20 million yuan crystals on their body. They could use them as they pleased. They could even make a bed of yuan crystals and sleep on them.

The two of them cultivated and improved themselves with peace of mind, but other places in the secret realm were restless.

More and more people knew that there were two people who carried a large amount of yuan crystals and a precious sixth-grade spiritual plant. Just one robbery would be enough for them to cultivate for over ten years.

It was as Feng Ming said. Even he couldn’t help wanting to rob himself. There were many other cultivators who were tempted.

This also included the people in the spiritual plant garden of the valley. They might’ve benefited from Bai Qiaomo, but they didn’t think they owed him anything. After all, they bought these benefits with yuan crystals.

This meant they had no psychological shadow about robbing Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming. They actively devoted themselves to the process of finding the two.

There was another person who was very moved and took action. It was Wu Yingyan.

Wu Yingyan’s eyes turned red with jealousy when he heard that someone had a net worth of tens of millions.

He only spent 5 million yuan crystals and almost lost his place in the secret realm.

If it hadn’t been for the message from Imperial City, he wouldn’t have been able to enter at all.

But the lives of these two unknown people were actually much more enjoyable than his own. How could he calm down in his heart?

The more news he heard, the less that he believed these two guys had any background. Why else would they be hiding? Now they didn’t even dare to show their faces.

Wu Yingyan regarded the wealth of these two people as his own and bribed many cultivators to help him find traces of them.

However, no good news was delivered to him. This made Wu Yingyan’s temper become even worse.

Gong Yuminga nd Feng Jinghuai meet.

Feng Jinghuai was worried. “More and more people are looking for them. What should we do?”

Even Fong Hongrui came to him personally. This guy usually didn’t bother to pay attention to him.

As the first two people to come into contact with the Wen and Wu brothers, Gong Yuming and Feng Jinghuai were naturally the focus of everyone’s inquiries.

It was just that the other people around them confirmed that they really accidentally met the brothers on the way. They came to the valley together and separated after leaving the valley.

“You are worrying for nothing.” Gong Yuming was also a bit worried, but not too much. “That guy is very smart. How can he give others a chance to find them? Believe it or not, we might’ve met them on the road. He just didn’t reveal anything, so we couldn’t find him.”

Feng Jinghuai recalled all the cultivators he met these days. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t find anything. “It can’t be true, right?”

Gong Yuming shrugged unscrupulously. “I just said it casually. Do you really believe it?”

Feng Jinghuai wanted to slap this guy in the face. Then he thought about Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo’s ability to change their appearance and felt more at ease.

Maybe it was really possible.

Previously when they met, it was hard to say whether they would’ve recognized him if he had deliberately hid his temperament.

Gong Yuming added, “I also heard that someone wanted to borrow the medicinal mink from Liang Han to track the whereabouts of the two of them, but there was no result.”

Feng Jinghuai felt more at ease after hearing this. Obviously, both of them were on guard. Their experience was much richer than his own.

Gong Yuming secretly felt happy when he saw this situation.

After knowing the true identity of the brothers, Gong Yuming had been wondering how these two guys entered the secret realm.

He thought of how close Uncle Feng was to the Flying Feather Mercenary Group and probably knew how these two guys entered.

He had been wondering how the Flying Feather Mercenary Group could have two tokens. Where were the two tokens? One of them clearly belonged to Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo.

These two guys were really smart. After meeting, they didn’t use the same faces as when they were with the Flying Feather Mercenary Group.

Otherwise, many people would’ve definitely found out by this time that the two people were from the Flying Feather Mercenary Group. Then those two people would never live a peaceful life. Even if they left the secret realm, they might be in a lot of trouble.

He remembered that he noticed a strange gaze at that time. The direction was from the Flying Feather Mercenary Group.

Now it seemed that the owner of that gaze must be Feng Ming. Feng Ming must’ve been thinking something bad at that time.

“I also heard one thing.” Gong Yuming gossiped, “It seems that something happened to Han Shu from Sihong Academy.”

“Han Shu, Fellow Daoist Han? What happened to her?”

Gong Yuming shook his head. “The news isn’t accurate. It came from the people around her. It seems that she was in danger, and her life or death is unknown. Ordinarily, this shouldn’t be the case. No matter how great the danger is, it is impossible for Han Shu not to have a trump card to save her life. It is also impossible not to have people around her to protect her.”

“Then what happened?”

Gong Yuming touched his chin and said thoughtfully, “Maybe there is something wrong with the people around her.”

Feng Jinghuai gasped. “How dare they?”

Gong Yuming despised him. “If Han Shu dies in the secret realm, who will know how she died? Even people like you and I might die from danger.”

The closer they got to the night of the full moon, the more intense the medicinal fragrance became in the swamp area blocked by the formation. Every time they took a breath, they felt as if the hidden wounds accumulated in their bodies were being repaired.

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo simply took the time to absorb more of the medicinal fragrance. It wasn’t their illusion. Absorbing and training together with this vital energy was good for their bodies.

In particular, one of them was seriously injured. He might’ve recovered but there might be some hidden dangers. The other person had a bad spiritual root. It might’ve been reshaped with soul power, but the effect of the Blood Moon Lotus’ medicinal fragrance complemented the effect of soul power.

In any case, there was no harm in absorbing a bit more.

Bai Qiaomo also paid attention to the situation outside the formation. He found that such a strong scent of medicine didn’t cause any movement outside. This made him more confident in his formation.

After cultivating for a while, Bai Qiaomo felt that the energy flow in his body had become smoother.

Feng Ming sat next to him, looking excitedly at the moon in the sky and at the Blood Moon Lotus that was about to bloom in front of him.

“By the way, Brother Bai, what grade of spiritual plant is this Blood Moon Lotus?”

Bai Qiaomo replied, “The Blood Moon Lotus is divided into grades according to its growth. The current one should’ve reached the sixth-grade limit. It is restricted by the secret realm and unable to break through to seventh-grade.”

Feng Ming gasped. “It is sixth-grade again. We actually got two sixth-grade spiritual plants. We are so lucky. But the one with the most credit for it is Brother Bai.”

Without Bai Qiaomo, Feng Ming wouldn’t be able to get any of them. Sure enough, the treatment of the protagonist was different.

Bai Qiaomo laughed and reminded Feng Ming, “It is about to bloom.”

At this moment, Feng Ming felt that the place where they were staying was much brighter than before. This was the gathering of a large amount of moonlight. He was a bit worried. “Will it be possible? Someone discovered something unusual?”

“The formation is somewhat effective. Still, the medicinal fragrance hasn’t spread out. The number of people who will come to check is limited.”

“That’s good.”

Bai Qiaomo might’ve said this, but he didn’t completely relax his guard.

In order to bloom, the Blood Moon Lotus desperately absorbed the moonlight. The moonlight formed a pillar of moonlight above the Blood Moon Lotus. A large amount of moonlight poured down.

Outside the swamp, the visibility was greatly reduced. The creatures inside noticed something strange, but it wasn’t enough to let them go out to check.

A few cultivators were cautiously walking outside the swamp. They had also accepted Young Master Wu’s mission to look for traces of the two cultivators.

In their opinion, the two cultivators would definitely find a place to hide where there were fewer people and were less likely to be found. They might hide until the secret realm was closed and they were teleported out.

This was why they searched in remote places and came to this swamp area.

If they hadn’t known that there were no powerful desolate beasts roaming around here, they wouldn’t have dared to move after dark. There shouldn’t be much of a safety problem as long as they didn’t enter the swamp.

Looking at the dark swamp area ahead, no one had the courage to step in at this time. It would be life-threatening.

“Huh? Have you noticed that even though the swamp is dark, there is light coming from somewhere deep inside? Do you think there is a treasure there?”

“This swamp is full of stench and miasma. What type of natural treasure can grow in such an extreme place? Maybe there are some plants in the swamp that can absorb the moonlight. This isn’t surprising.”

They could name several types of plants casually. Some nobles liked to plant them. There was no need to run into the swamp late at night for such a useless plant.

“Even if you want to take a look, go in after dawn to look. Maybe those two guys are hiding in the swamp.”

“Huh? Maybe it is really possible. The more no one goes to a place, the better a hiding place it was for them.”

“That’s right. We will go in and search for them tomorrow. Hehe, just a fraction of what they have will make us a fortune, not to mention the reward Young Master Wu said.”

Bai Qiaomo probably didn’t expect that the cultivators who passed by here in his previous life would actually come here in this life.

They had come in for different purposes, but they did the same thing. They even inadvertently revealed the truth. Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming were really hiding deep in the swamp.

The moment the Blood Moon Lotus was in full bloom, Bai Qiaomo wasn’t attracted by the beautiful scenery at all. He swooped over, picked the entire Blood Moon Lotus, and put it in a specially prepared jade box.
