Chapter 1692 - 1691: He’s Not the Same as Before!
Such an important place naturally requires strict protection.
So.
After having Young Master Bai He and Baili Qiurong set up the Spirit Gathering Array, Qin Feng had them arrange a very powerful defensive formation here.
If it weren’t for the strong defense here, the place would have been coveted by people from the World Alliance long ago.
At this moment.
A formation master in charge of the island has already led the crowd to surround them.
Ling’er furrowed her brows, saying, "It’s tense over at Vine Dragon Mountain, we can’t waste energy here. Let’s withdraw first."
Although she was mighty, facing the strong aura of the defensive formation on the island also required her to expend great effort.
"No."
Qin Feng shook his head, smiled, "That’s why I came here, precisely because it’s tense over there."
Saying this.
Qin Feng stepped forward, took out a token, and tossed it to the leading person, saying, "No need for introductions, right!"
The person had seen Qin Feng and knelt down hurriedly without looking at the token, saying, "Greetings, Lord Qin!!"
Others followed suit, also kneeling down, "Greetings, Lord Qin!!"
"Stand up!"
Qin Feng gestured with his hand.
Ling’er was slightly amazed, realizing this was Qin Feng’s domain.
"Lord Qin, please come inside!"
The leader said.
Qin Feng waved his hand, "No need; I have urgent matters. I’m here to take some spirit stones."
"Yes, we just refined two batches of spirit stones and haven’t sent them to Five Rings Mountain yet. We’ll give them all to you, Lord Qin." The leader immediately had someone retrieve them.
Soon.
Someone came over with six Qiankun Bags, handing them to Qin Feng, saying, "These are six million spirit stones."
"Alright, that’ll do, we’ll be off now."
Qin Feng said.
He needed to rescue the Holy Daughter quickly and couldn’t spend too much time here.
Coming here was just to pick some up along the way.
After all, they probably needed spirit stones over there as well.
"I will arrange for a warship to send off Lord Qin!" The leader said.
"No need; I’ll go myself."
Qin Feng said.
Then.
He found a plank, pulled Ling’er along, and slid swiftly across the seawater, leaving a long trail of splashes behind them.
"Hey!"
In the rapid advance, Ling’er said gloomily, "Did you come to that island just to fetch spirit stones? Six million spirit stones, although not small in quantity, are far from enough, simply a complete waste of time."
Qin Feng smiled without saying a word.
One of his spirit stones was equivalent to a hundred ordinary spirit stones; six million spirit stones equaled six hundred million.
"Also, why not take a boat?"
Ling’er continued, "You don’t plan to row to Vine Dragon Mountain like this, do you? It’s very far away!"
"Of course not." Qin Feng shrugged, "Taking a boat is too slow; this way saves time."
"But, the distance to Vine Dragon Mountain is too far; it’s like running from Lake City to Yanjing, who can run that far!" Ling’er said gloomily, "Besides, the deeper you go into the sea, the more sea beasts there are, and then you’ll have to waste energy fighting..."
Just then.
Suddenly, the water ahead splashed with a "crash," and a massive sea beast as large as a mountain emerged.
The sea beast resembled a Water Python but had two wing-like things on its sides.
"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear... This kind of sea beast is almost at the Python Beast level, seems we’ll have to waste time and effort again, sigh..."
Ling’er gloomily drew her dagger, preparing for battle.
Qin Feng stopped her, "Wait."
"No, we must strike first to resolve it as quickly as possible! This kind of sea beast spits ink; if it attacks first, the toxic ink will severely harm us. We must use a killing skill to take it down in one blow!" Ling’er said, "You’re not that strong; hide away first!"
"..."
Qin Feng was a bit embarrassed, "Let me finish first..."
Ling’er didn’t have the time to listen, raised her dagger, and was about to advance.
Just then.
That sea beast suddenly lowered its head to the surface, bowing in a gesture of kneeling!!
Ling’er paused slightly, then stood up straight, saying, "Since you know fear, make way quickly and don’t obstruct us!"
"Ahem, it’s kneeling to me."
Qin Feng told her.
"Huh??"
Ling’er blinked in confusion, not understanding.
Then Qin Feng pulled her along, leaping onto the sea beast’s head, and said to the sea beast, "Head east quickly!!"
The sea beast nodded obediently, then instantly shot eastward like a meteor.
Much faster than their previous pace!
"What... what’s going on?"
Ling’er was utterly puzzled.
"It’s a friend of mine who brought it."
Qin Feng replied with a smile.
While on Peach Blossom Island, he had contacted Nami using a conch, asking Nami to help locate several fast sea beasts for assistance.
After all, they had a long sea journey ahead.
Then, halfway, this sea beast appeared.
"I can’t explain it to you right now; just trust me."
Qin Feng said.
Can’t help it.
With this speed now, advancing against the wind made speaking difficult, and the story was lengthy, too complicated to summarize in a few words.
They stood on the sea beast, speeding across the vast ocean.
Whether it was the sea beast’s threat or some other reason, Ling’er found that they hadn’t encountered any other sea beasts along the way, which was strange.
"Could it be related to him?"
She turned to look at Qin Feng.
Have to admit.
This encounter with Qin Feng, he indeed seemed to have changed a lot.
While at Vine Dragon Mountain, the Medicine King mentioned he raised a parrot, started a company in the Mortal World to earn money, which made her deeply resentful.
Later, Shuiyun Immortal and the Twelve Wanderers went to Vine Dragon Mountain.
They said Qin Feng had defeated the Ksitigarbha Demon and Kunlun Mist Cloud’s Emperor Wujian, becoming a leading figure in the Lower Realm.
Ling’er simply couldn’t believe this.
This time, visiting Lake City to find him.
Not only had his cultivation indeed undergone a heavenly transformation, but his medical skills were astonishing.
Previously, her severe injuries at Vine Dragon Mountain were treated by Luo Shui Divine Doctor; the doctor could only control the injuries, not eradicate them.
And Qin Feng, directly restored her to peak condition.
She didn’t speak of it openly, but inwardly was deeply shocked.
Then there was Peach Blossom Island.
Its defensive power was extremely strong, even her Holy Daughter-level powers couldn’t guarantee an unscathed retreat, and yet it was Qin Feng’s domain, mass-producing spirit stones in significant quantities.
And now this sea beast.
In this world, sea beasts are notoriously difficult to manage, with few cultivators dealing with them regularly and even fewer able to tame them, yet they submit to him.
This was completely at odds with his image years before when she saw him as a wastrel in Dragon and Tiger Village...
If not for one unchanged aspect, Ling’er wouldn’t even believe this was him.
That aspect was, he’s still as lecherous as before!
"What is it?"
Qin Feng noticed Ling’er’s complex expression watching him and asked suspiciously.
Ling’er swiftly withdrew her spirit, raised her head, and asked, "I need to know, in your heart, what place does the young lady hold?"
