TFHS: Chapter 80

Feng Ming’s determination wasn’t bad either. The extremely beautiful scene of bathing in the moonlight couldn’t shake his possession of the Blood Moon Lotus.

He smiled when he saw Bai Qiaomo picking the Blood Moon Lotus and putting it into a jade box.

Only the money in his pocket belonged to them. He rushed to greet Bai Qiaomo after seeing Bai Qiaomo coming back.

Bai Qiaomo knew that he wanted to see it, so he opened the jade box and let Feng Ming see it.

“Wow, it is really beautiful. The petals of this Blood Moon Lotus are as crystal clear as fine ruby. It doesn’t look like a plant, but an exquisite work of art.”

At this time, the fragrance of the Blood Moon Lotus was restrained. This could reduce the loss of the medicinal properties. In addition, using a special jade box to store it could extend the storage time.

“One, two, three… there are nine leaf petals in total. This means there are nine chances to save your life, right?”

“Yes, you can take it directly, and the healing effect will be very good. But if refined into a blood lotus pill, even those who trained to the soul opening realm or fusion realm will be attracted.”

There was another thing that Bai Qiaomo didn’t mention. If the Blood Moon Lotus was added in the process of reshaping the body, the reshaped body would have a very powerful ability to repair itself.

This was what the remnant soul in his previous life had told him. Unfortunately, during his previous life, the traces of the Blood Moon Lotus had long been lost. He had no idea who got it.

Later, according to Bai Qiaomo’s own clues, it was speculated that the Blood Moon Lotus might’ve fallen into the hands of the royal family.

Only the Dongmu royal family could do it so quietly, erasing all traces and leaving all parties involved in the fight confused.

However, he had never told the remnant soul about this speculation in his mind. He was afraid that the remnant soul would make him run to the royal family and find a way to snatch the blood Moon Lotus from the royal vault.

“The blood lotus pill?” Feng Ming was stunned when he heard it. “There is no record of it in the inheritance of the Shengyuan Sect.”

Bai Qiaomo wasn’t surprised. “The inheritance of the Shengyuan Sect is enough for the Feihong Continent, but it is limited further up. There is no hurry. Once we leave the Feihong Continent in the future and go to other continents, you can find other alchemy inheritances.”

“Yes, I will listen to Brother Bai. Don’t worry. I am currently a third-grade alchemist. Brother Bai, please put it away.”

Bai Qiaomo didn’t put it away directly. He pulled Feng Ming to sit down and split the Blood Moon Lotus.

He accepted a box of two petals and let Feng Ming keep a box of three petals. “I will give Junior Brother Ming an extra petal for the recipe of the blood lotus pill that you will find in the future. You can use it to refine that pill. You and I might not use these two pieces, but there must be some left over. Give the rest to Uncle if he needs it.”

“This…” Feng Ming felt that this Blood Moon Lotus was too heavy.

Bai Qiaomo smiled and put the divided Blood Moon Lotus into Feng Ming’s hand. “Will Junior Brother Ming not give me the blood lotus pill when you refine it in the future?”

“That definitely isn’t the case.”

“Then isn’t it right? Just treat it as me paying for the pills in advance. It isn’t just the blood lotus pill.”

Feng Ming pouted. “I would give it even if there was no Blood Moon Lotus.”

Bai Qiaomo smiled. “That’s right. If I obtain anything good, I want to share it with Junior Brother Ming.”

Feng Ming’s face was hot and he scratched his face uncomfortably. He, who was always eloquent, felt a bit awkward at the moment. He quickly grabbed the box and put it in the storage ring.

The smile in Bai Qiaomo’s eyes deepened. He could see Feng Ming’s discomfort, so he proactively changed the subject.

“During the time when there is still the lingering scent of medicine here, let’s continue practicing in the second half of the night. Then we will leave here after dawn. By the way, I didn’t dig up the Blood Moon Lotus by the roots. Perhaps in a few years, another Blood Moon Lotus will grow here.”

Feng Ming hurriedly nodded. “Yes, that’s right. It is right to do it this way and not waste anything. Brother Bai, let’s hurry up and cultivate.”

“Okay,” Bai Qiaomo said warmly.

Feng Ming couldn’t wait to enter the cultivation state to avoid the strange atmosphere. He secretly wondered what was wrong with him.

He must’ve felt that he received too much and was still a bit thin-skinned. Even though he would make pills for Bai Qiaomo in the future, the level of the pills he refined was still too low at the moment.

The thought that flashed through his mind at the last moment was, ‘If I can’t repay my debt, do I have to pay it with my body? Bah, bah!’

After cultivating until dawn, the two of them opened their eyes again. There wasn’t much of the medicinal scent left. It was once again covered by the fishy smell.

The two of them couldn’t wait to dismantle the formation and leave as soon as possible. They would become smelly if they stayed for a long time.

Before leaving, Feng Ming glanced back. “The smell here is so overbearing. You can’t even smell the last bit of the medicinal scent. Do you think a medicinal mink could smell it if it came here at this time?”

Bai Qiaomo smiled. “That thing is very pampered and can’t stay in this type of environment.”

Feng Ming understood and said happily, “Then I don’t have to worry about someone bringing the medicinal mink in and leaking the news here.”

The more Feng Ming thought about it, the happier he became. His steps when he headed back were much lighter.

Good things entered their hands, and the same situation as Bai Qiaomo’s previous life wouldn’t be encountered. They could make a fortune silently, which was the best. He liked it.

He couldn’t help laughing. After Bai Qiaomo looked over, he said, “No one knows that there is such a good thing in the secret room this time. There will be no fierce snatching battle, and fewer cultivators will die.”

“Junior Brother Ming is kind-hearted.”

“Haha, I’m not kind-hearted. I’m just having fun.”

Bai Qiaomo smiled.

The two of them returned along the same path. Halfway there, they found several cultivators rushing into the swamp area. The two of them didn’t show up. They hid in the darkness to see the intentions of these people.

Both of them were a bit suspicious. Were these people the ones Bai Qiaomo heard picked the Blood Moon Lotus in his previous life?

Since few people came here, these cultivators talked without scruples. The two of them heard the names of the Wen and Wu brothers from their mouths and looked at each other.

Feng Ming winked at Bai Qiaomo and conveyed his meaning. It turned out that these guys weren’t coming for the Blood Moon Lotus, but it wasn’t much better. They even guessed that the two of them were hiding in the swamp.

This was considered an accident.

Bai Qiaomo was also very surprised. If it wasn’t for the fact that many times had changed, and there was the ger called Feng Ming beside him who never existed in his previous life, he might’ve thought that everything would continue to follow the path of his previous life.

The reality was that many things were different. Even without looking at Feng Jinlin’s life trajectory, there had been many deviations from his previous life. Uncle Feng might still be the leader of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group, but that was due to his temperament and hobbies.

Therefore, the appearance of these cultivators in front of him was really an accident. This accident was actually related to them. That guy surnamed Wu sent people to look for them everywhere. There was no need to think about his intentions.

Bai Qiaomo also learned the name of a cultivator from these people: Xu Ji. That’s right, it was this person who picked the Blood Moon Lotus in his previous life.

These cultivators didn’t find any trace of Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming at all. After they were far away, the two people walked out of the shadows. They glanced at each other and sped up to leave the area.

The rest of the road was easy to walk. It didn’t take long for them to leave the swamp far behind.

Bai Qiaomo told Feng Ming one thing. “There is a cultivator called Xu Ji in that group. He was the one who brought the Blood Moon Lotus from the swamp in his previous life.”

Feng Ming exclaimed, “It is such a coincidence? If it hadn’t been for us, the Blood Moon Lotus might’ve fallen into his hands.”

Bai Qiaomo thought about it and felt it was possible, but there would definitely be a fierce snatching battle in the end. ‘Maybe it has something to do with their temperament. They go to remote areas to search for our traces, and should be treating others with the same mindset as themselves. In fact, it isn’t wrong.”

Feng Ming nodded repeatedly. “They guessed it right. Isn’t this what we did before?”

By the way, he also got the opportunity from Bai Qiaomo’s previous life.

Feng Ming laughed again. “In fact, compared with before, their luck is better this time. A few of them should be able to survive now.”

“Forget it, leave them alone.” Feng Ming gritted his teeth again. “The guy named Wu is like a rat in a gutter. It is really disgusting.”

Bai Qiaomo regretted that he exposed the formation method too early this time. Otherwise, he could have used this formation method to plot against Wu Yingyan. Now the impact wouldn’t be great.

Bai Qiaomo said lightly, “Let him live a bit longer. Once he falls from a high place, many people will pounce on him and bite him.”

“Okay.” Feng Ming shrugged. “It is up to you, Brother Bai.”

During the final days inside the secret realm, Bai Qiaomo took Feng Ming to find a place with abundant energy to concentrate on cultivation.

There was less excitement to see, but this was exactly what Feng Ming wanted. He didn’t really want physical repayment. The huge pressure turned into a powerful motivation for his improvement.

For this reason, he even put aside the contact bead for the time being and stopped gossiping with Gong Yuming.

If there was any gossip, just wait until he got out of the secret realm to make up for it. In any case, he couldn’t miss it with Gong Yuming here.

The location chosen by Bai Qiaomo was very hidden and could only be opened with his current cultivation level. He used this period of time to solidify his foundation. Once he got out of the secret realm, he could find a suitable opportunity to advance to the essence liquid realm in one go.

He had a lot of experience in cultivation and could pick up various skills at his fingertips. He took Feng Ming to practice with him.

He didn’t want Feng Ming to fall behind him. This time, he hoped the ger could always follow him and catch up with him.

He believed that Feng Ming could do it because Feng Ming had his own opportunities. Bai Qiaomo didn’t think Feng Ming was much weaker than him.

He had also been sealing the space of the Green Gathering Bead, so the remnant soul didn’t know the existence of the Blood Moon Lotus at all this time.

The Green Gathering Bead space might be an excellent place to store personal belongings and was more secretive than the storage ring, but he didn’t put anything in it in this life.

It was just a matter of getting rid of the remnant soul one day before utilizing the space.

Gong Yuming held the contact bead and thought about it. He sent dozens of messages but didn’t get a reply from the other party. Was something going on?

Of course, he only expressed his thoughts in front of Feng Jinghuai. If outsiders heard him, would he be spared?

The last few days in the secret realm was the most chaotic time. Even their identities might not be able to keep them safe.

Therefore, the two of them found a place to retreat quietly and waited for the time to go out.

“There is no news about them outside. At this time, no news is a good thing. I heard that Wu Yingyan has hired many people to help him find their traces, but no news has come out.”

Gong Yuming nodded. “You are right. We will know if they are safe or not when we go out.”
