Chapter 923: Chapter 2: Scaring Off

“Brother Lin, where do you plan to go?” Wang Chaosong asked.

“Holy Stone City!”

…

Wang Chaosong showed joy and said, “What a coincidence, we also plan to head to Holy Stone City. I heard a batch of Ancient Divine Materials is about to appear there, and we are planning to see if we can uncover something astonishing.”

Speaking of stone cutting, a cultivator named Yuanhua’s eyes lit up. He leaned in and said, “In years past, cutting Ancient Divine Stones reportedly revealed something extremely astonishing.”

Lin Feng asked in surprise, “What was revealed?”

“I heard it revealed an Immortal.” Yuanhua said mysteriously.

Lin Feng was shocked. He didn’t doubt Yuanhua’s words because, theoretically, Ancient Divine Stones wrapped in Divine Power act as seals, isolating the flow of time.

If an Immortal were indeed revealed, it wouldn’t be impossible.

Wang Chaosong was clearly very interested in this matter and said, “An Immortal can be revealed? Isn’t this just a rumor spreading around? Even if sealed in the stone, life would still quickly fade, right? I might believe it if you said the bones of Immortals were revealed.”

Yuanhua said, “What do you know, youngster? What I said is the truth. A forefather of mine saw it back then.”

Yuanhua’s words caught the attention of many, and many pricked up their ears to listen.

Lin Feng asked, “What was the situation like at that time?”

Yuanhua said, “At that time, it caused a great sensation, attracting many people. Even though tens of thousands of years have passed, many forces should still have records. According to the records left by my forefather, the stone material nurtured life, and when the stone cracked open, a daughter of the Immortal Spirit walked out.”

“Hold on… are you saying that woman walked out of the stone material herself?” Wang Chaosong asked.

“That’s indeed what my forefather’s records said!” Yuanhua said.

Wang Chaosong shook his head and said, “What you’re saying is getting more and more unreliable. Anyway, I don’t believe it.”

Lin Feng said, “Actually, it’s not completely unbelievable. If the Ancient Divine Stone sealed someone inside, they might not die even after eons.”

“Wouldn’t their life span have already faded?” Wang Chaosong asked.

Lin Feng said, “In the Ancient Divine Stone, there is a kind of stone called the Time Prohibition Stone! This stone is very strange. Inside, it forms a very special Divine Power. This Divine Power, when flowing, can isolate the passage of time. So, theoretically speaking, if one could find such a stone and seal themselves within, it is indeed possible to remain undying, then emerge from the stone after endless ages.”

Yuanhua said, “I told you, such things do happen, and you still dared to doubt me!”

“It seems this young master has some research into stone materials?” Liuu Huaxian approached, bringing a fragrant breeze.

Lin Feng said, “Indeed, I have some insight!”

“May I ask your name, Young Master?”

Liuu Huaxian asked.

“Lin Feng!”

“So it’s Young Master Lin. I have a piece of stone material here; I wonder if Young Master Lin can take a look?” Liuu Huaxian asked.

At this time, Su Ling said, “Xian’er, this youngster’s background is unknown, it’s better to be cautious. Besides, what can a cultivator at the Yin Yang Realm possibly do? I think he’s probably just putting on an act. This world is not lacking in fame-seekers.”

Lin Feng gave Su Ling a faint glance and said, “Whether I’m putting on an act or seeking fame, I can be sure that some people’s quality leaves one somewhat anxious. As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to nine sons, each different from the other. It seems this saying is quite true: people from the same noble family, yet sometimes the gap is all in character.”

Su Ling’s gaze darkened slightly. He looked at Lin Feng coldly and said, “Are you insinuating those insults at me?”

Wang Chaosong hurried to mediate, saying, “Young Master Su, Brother Lin is young and may have misspoken. Please don’t mind, I’ll apologize on behalf of Brother Lin and hope Young Master Su doesn’t take it to heart.”

“What kind of thing do you think you are, to come here and mediate?” Su Ling sneered.

Wang Chaosong’s face twitched violently a few times.

This group of them had been out for training together for over half a year. Wang Chaosong thought Su Ling would give him some face, but evidently, Su Ling did not. This remark was like a loud slap across Wang Chaosong’s face.

Even though Wang Chaosong felt extremely aggrieved inside, he didn’t dare to explode, as Su Ling’s background was too big to offend.

Liuu Huaxian said, “Brother Su, let’s drop this matter.”

“Since Xian’er pleads, let’s drop it.” Su Ling no longer looked at Lin Feng. To him, Lin Feng was just an unworthy character.

Liuu Huaxian also did not ask Lin Feng to help her look at the stone material anymore, because she too thought, as this young cultivator, Lin Feng probably lacked the ability to discern stones.

Liuu Huaxian walked off into the distance, and Su Ling also left with her.

“Sorry for troubling Brother Wang.” Lin Feng cupped his hands.

Wang Chaosong said, “No problem, most people here get along well, so I’m not afraid of being laughed at.”

Even though he said this.

Who wouldn’t be angry after being humiliated like that?

Lin Feng said, “When we get to Holy Stone City, I’ll help you pick a few stone materials.”

Wang Chaosong didn’t mind either. He chuckled and said, “That would be great; we might strike it lucky and cut out something good. Then I’d be rich.”

Lin Feng knew Wang Chaosong was joking and didn’t expect much from cutting out something valuable.

Lin Feng smiled but said nothing more.

He thought Wang Chaosong was quite a good person.

As for Su Ling.

In Lin Feng’s eyes, he was an unworthy character.

…

In the dead of night, Lin Feng, leaning against a large tree resting, woke up.

He frowned slightly, then stood up and walked away into the distance.

Aside from one cultivator on watch, everyone else was sound asleep.

In the darkness, a pair of cold eyes watched.

The terrifying aura caused chills.

But the owner of those cold eyes quickly left after seeing Lin Feng.

“It turns out it’s a Shadow Demon Beast, a Fierce Beast from deep in the earth with unfathomable cultivation. Could it be chasing after Liuu Huaxian and others?”

Lin Feng frowned slightly.

He thought of how Liuu Huaxian seemed to have a piece of stone material. Could it be obtained from deep within the earth?

Is that why the Shadow Demon Beast has been tailing them all the way?

“What are you doing here?” a voice called from behind.

Lin Feng looked back and saw Liuu Huaxian’s unparalleled figure.

“Just strolling around,” Lin Feng smiled faintly and headed back to the resting area.

“Just now, I vaguely sensed a terrifying aura, seemingly the aura of a Shadow Demon Beast. Why did it vanish? Could it be I’ve become too sensitive from being pursued by the Shadow Demon Beast recently? Maybe there was really nothing?”

Liuu Huaxian was a bit puzzled. She looked at Lin Feng, furrowing her eyebrows slightly. She always felt that Lin Feng seemed a bit strange, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was strange about him.
