Heavenly Fire was extremely important to Lin Feng.
Now!!
Lin Feng had already refined two types of Heavenly Fire, the Purple Flame Earth Core Fire and the Black Flame Burning Divine Fire.
Each time he refined Heavenly Fire, Lin Fengās cultivation would see a massive increase.
If he could refine a third type of Heavenly Fire, then Lin Fengās realm would undoubtedly receive another rapid enhancement.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Feng asked, "How did this Heavenly Fire fall?"
The Yun Family Patriarch, Yun Tao, said, "According to rumors, about a million years ago, there was an epic battle. According to the records in ancient texts, that battle set the sky ablaze, kingdoms perished, and living beings were destroyed. That epic battle likely involved the Heavenly Fire."
"Is the news of the Heavenly Fire Fall Land only known to you?" Lin Feng asked.
"Not necessarily..."
Yun Tao shook his head and said, "The Heavenly Fire Fall Land is within a Death Absolute Land. Recently, cultivators from Black Stone City entered that Death Absolute Land to pick a type of Spirit Fruit and discovered the agitated Heavenly Fire, thus bringing back the news. However, if there were other forcesā cultivators within the Death Absolute Land when the Heavenly Fire was agitated, the news of the Heavenly Fire is very likely to spread."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Thereās indeed that possibility!"
The Black Stone Sectās Sect Master, Guo Yunshen, said, "Rumor has it that the cluster of Heavenly Fire cultivated its own Tao, and the Fire Spirit has evolved to perfection. The Fire Spirit controls the power of the Heavenly Fire Origin, capable of refining even gods to death. In past years, that battle seemed to be several gods attacking it together, eventually leading to mutual destruction. Several gods fell, and the Fire Spirit of the Heavenly Fire also perished, leaving only the Flame Origin."
Lin Feng stroked his chin and said, "If thatās the case, then within the Heavenly Fire Fall Land, not only is there Heavenly Fire, there are also treasures left behind by several gods."
Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with fervent gazes.
The treasures of the gods!
Enough to drive anyone insane.
"Did you inform the City Lord of Black Stone City about this matter?" Lin Fengās heart couldnāt help but stir slightly, and he asked aloud.
"Heh..." The group all chuckled strangely.
Lin Feng said, "Why? Is there something odd about the Black Stone City Lord?"
Shen Shizhong said, "This person is extremely greedy. Time and again, under various pretexts, he demands enormous wealth from our Three Great Families and Five Great Sects!"
"Is there really such a thing?" Lin Feng couldnāt help but roll his eyes.
This City Lord truly is a rare specimen, demanding enormous wealth from eight local tyrants, insatiably greedy.
It was evident that the Three Great Families and the Five Great Sects surely detested this City Lord immensely.
"Isnāt that the case? But this personās background is too substantial, and we are unwilling to offend him," Master Taixuan said with some helplessness.
"What kind of background does this City Lord have?" Lin Feng couldnāt help but curiously ask.
"Itās said to be connected with the Domain Master Emperor Jun, but we donāt know the specifics," the Chu Family Patriarch, Chu Jingu, spoke up.
Lin Feng roughly guessed why the Three Great Families and the Five Great Sects did not tell the City Lord about this matter.
With the greedy character of the Black Stone City Lord, if he truly obtained the Divine Treasure after all.
Who knows how much of those treasures would end up in the hands of the Black Stone City Lord.
Their Three Great Families and the Five Great Sects would probably only get a sliver of the soup in the end.
The Five Great Sects naturally did not want such a thing to happen.
As the gathering was about to end, the Clan Leaders of the Three Great Families and the Sect Masters of the Five Great Sects all spoke up, subtly proposing to Lin Feng the exchange of "Cultivation Spirit Stones."
Lin Feng readily agreed.
For each faction,
Lin Feng provided a billion Cultivation Spirit Stones.
And Lin Feng needed these factions to help him gather various Array Formation Materials.
...
Both parties met their needs, so the cooperation was very pleasant. After the banquet dispersed, Lin Feng had someone summon Nan Qingqing and Nan Manāer.
Since he had already met the two sisters, it was only proper to visit Nan Zaitian for courtesyās sake.
"Please, Young Master, follow us...". Nan Qingqing and Nan Manāer mildly bowed.
The two sisters rode in a carriage.
While Lin Feng rode in Chu Tianbaās Beast Carriage.
One in front and one behind, they headed to the estate the Nan Family had purchased within Black Stone City.
"Sister... Today I made a mistake and almost got punished. If it werenāt for Young Master Lin, Iād be in trouble. Sister, do you think Young Master Lin likes me?" Nan Manāer said.
Seeing Nan Manāerās joyous expression, Nan Qingqing gently sighed in her heart.
In her view, they were not people from the same world as Lin Feng.
Yet, Nan Manāer was still immersed in the fantasy she had woven for herself.
Nan Qingqing wanted to remind her sister, but she did not know how to tell her, because at this moment, Nan Qingqingās originally calm heart was now in turmoil, confused and flustered.
...
Lin Feng arrived at the Nan Family estate; someone had already come to inform Nan Zaitian.
When Nan Zaitian saw Lin Feng again, he was evidently somewhat nervous and anxious.
Itās common for ordinary people to feel like Nan Zaitian when faced with prominent figures.
Lin Feng conversed with Nan Zaitian for a while and then took his leave.
"Master... it seems you were quite disappointed with this visit to the Nan Family," Chu Tianba said.
Lin Feng slightly raised his eyebrows but said nothing more.
Chu Tianba said, "Master knew this family previously, and they were unaware of Masterās identity. Now that they know Masterās true identity, theyāve evidently become much more restrained, cautious in their speech. This indicates one truth: people from different worlds, after brief intersections, are bound to diverge again."
Lin Feng said, "I didnāt expect you to be so thoughtful."
Chu Tianba chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master."
Lin Feng got on the Beast Carriage, and Chu Tianba drove it away swiftly.
"Father, why didnāt you mention the marriage between me and Young Master Lin? Young Master Lin is gone now. Father, why didnāt you bring it up? I was giving you signals all along," after Lin Feng left, Nan Manāer grabbed Nan Zaitianās arm and exclaimed loudly.
"Manāer, calm down. We are not people from the same world as him," Nan Zaitian said.
"No, how can that be? Back in Nanzhang Town, when Father mentioned our marriage, Young Master Lin didnāt refuse. Young Master Lin must like me. Father, please, go and speak to Young Master Lin about our marriage again. I, Nan Manāer, want to marry only someone like Young Master Lin." Nan Manāer pleaded, looking up at Nan Zaitian.
"Take your sister to rest for a few days," Nan Zaitian said, looking at Nan Qingqing.
Nan Qingqing nodded and led Nan Manāer back to the room.
"Boo hoo hoo... I want to marry Young Master Lin. I must marry Young Master Lin. Why did I ever refuse Young Masterās proposal back then? If I hadnāt refused that marriage, I might already be Mrs. Lin now. I regret it so much. I hate myself," Nan Manāer began pulling at her hair.
Nan Qingqing, feeling helpless, chose to temporarily knock Nan Manāer out.
"Sister, this is fate... In the future, donāt think about marrying Young Master Lin anymore. How could someone like him be within our reach?" Nan Qingqing sighed softly, deeply disappointed in her heart. No matter what, she couldnāt shake Lin Fengās image from her mind.
