Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Primordial Spirit Grass! (1 more)

”Ah!” Wang Tianlin sighed heavily, ”If this goes on, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to afford a meal.”

A merchant guild had massive expenditures, and the Martial Artists of Iron Wolf City mostly earned their Crystal Coins and Elemental Stones through Demon Hunting. With the demon energy outbreak, they couldn’t enter the Sky Demon Forest, so what could they sell for money?

With the little property that Tianlin Commerce had, I’m afraid they wouldn’t last even a year or half before they’d have to announce dissolution.

”Senior Wang, the Hunters of Iron Wolf City live by Demon Hunting, constantly struggling with Demons, they must have some sort of Spiritual Medicine to resist the poison and poisonous miasma, right?”

Ling Feng looked at Wang Tianlin and said nonchalantly, ”Such as, Primordial Spirit Grass.”

The purpose of his trip to Iron Wolf City was firstly to get a map of the Southern Border Demon Domain and secondly for this Primordial Spirit Grass.

According to Yan Cangtian, the Demon Transformation Elixir could let one disguise themselves as part of the Demon Clan, and the Primordial Spirit Grass was the best Spiritual Medicine for dispelling demon energy.

Otherwise, once excessive demon energy accumulated in the body, while it would be manageable for a short time, he feared he would need to lie low among the Demon Clan for about a month, so it was essential to obtain this Primordial Spirit Grass.

”There is, indeed.” Hearing Ling Feng’s question, Wang Tianlin hastily replied with respect, ”Primordial Spirit Grass is a type of herb unique to our Iron Wolf City that can neutralize demon energy. However, such treasure medicine... with our Tianlin Commerce’s strength... sigh...”

A hint of joy flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes, and, smirking slightly, he asked, ”Where can one find this Primordial Spirit Grass?”

”Heh, speaking of which, it’s quite the coincidence,” Wang Tianlin said with a wry smile, ”The day after tomorrow marks Iron Wolf City’s triennial Medicine Garden contest, and within it grows the Primordial Spirit Grass that can neutralize the poison.”

”Medicine Garden contest?” Ling Feng’s brows rose, ”What’s that about?”

”This Medicine Garden contest isn’t a secret in our Iron Wolf City,” Wang Tianlin began to explain slowly, ”Actually, it should be considered a Holy Land, where the soil is quite suitable for cultivating Spiritual Medicines. It’s said to have formed from a Space Fragment of the Earth Veins, and is extremely conducive to the growth of spirit flowers and herbs. Whether that’s true or not, I can’t really tell.”

Pausing for a moment, Wang Tianlin continued, ”This Medicine Garden belongs to the City Lord of our Iron Wolf City. Every three years, the City Lord opens the Secret Realm once for the city’s major forces to enter and harvest Spiritual Medicines. And this grand event is known as the Medicine Garden contest.”

”Oh?” Ling Feng’s brows furrowed, ”So, the City Lord of Iron Wolf City is that generous, opening his own Medicine Garden for others to harvest?”

”Of course not,” Wang Tianlin sighed, ”Only forces of the third rank and above who pay the annual tax for the maintenance of the Medicine Garden are eligible to send Disciples for harvesting.”

”I see.” Ling Feng smiled, that City Lord of Iron Wolf City does have quite the business acumen!

”With the taxes paid by Tianlin Commerce, we can only afford two spots. If Xiao Feng is interested, I can give one of the spots to you.”

Wang Tianlin smiled, in reality, this was also a mutually beneficial matter. With Ling Feng’s strength, he could definitely obtain more herbs.

At that time, while Ling Feng would feast on the spoils, Tianlin Commerce could also have a sip of the broth—why not?

”Then I shall accept your kind offer,” Ling Feng said, not declining, as he needed that Primordial Spirit Grass to blend into the Mysterious ”Sky Demon City.” Of course, since it was a favor, he would also look out for Wang Tianlin while harvesting in the Medicine Garden.

...

When night fell, Ling Feng had his dinner and then returned to his courtyard to start planning what to do next.

Firstly, of course, was to get the Primordial Spirit Grass, then to buy a map of the Southern Border Demon Domain, and after that, to infiltrate the Demon Domain.

Disguised as a member of the Demon Clan, winning the trust of his ”fellow” demons, only then would he have a chance to find out where the so-called holy place of Sky Demon City really was.

While Ling Feng was deep in thought, there came a knock at the door, followed by a crisp voice—it was that woman, Wang Caiwei.

”Young Master Ling, have you rested? I am Caiwei, sent by my father to introduce some matters related to the Medicine Garden competition to you.”

Ling Feng’s eyebrows slightly raised as he spoke indifferently, ”The door isn’t locked, come in.”

The next moment, Wang Caiwei pushed the door open and entered. She moved with a graceful Lotus Step, slowly approaching Ling Feng, still holding a roll of map, presumably the rough layout of the Medicine Garden Secret Realm.

Feeling the fragrant breeze wafting towards him, Ling Feng subconsciously touched his nose. This situation of a man and woman alone in a room, the atmosphere was indeed somewhat ambiguous...

”Young Master Ling, this is the map of the Medicine Garden my father asked me to give to you. The Primordial Spirit Grass is located in the northwest area of the Medicine Garden. The demon energy in the Sky Demon Forest has recently erupted; this Primordial Spirit Grass will definitely be hotly contested. With a detailed map, you should be able to gain an advantage and acquire more Primordial Spirit Grass,” Wang Caiwei spoke with her lips slightly parted, in a gentle voice.

”Mhm, thank Senior Wang for me,” Ling Feng inhaled through his nose and reached out to take the map. As he looked up, he realized that this woman was dressed today in a way that was... exceptionally revealing!

Her delicate body emitted a faint scent, making her slender waist, unable to fill a grip, slightly arch, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin on her chest.

Ling Feng awkwardly touched his nose; he was not a saint, and of course, he had normal male impulses.

Wang Caiwei leaned forward, bringing her pretty face close to Ling Feng’s, so close that the distance between them was just inches. He could smell her fragrance and even hear the sound of her blood flowing through her veins.

As their eyes met, Ling Feng saw a pair of eyes filled with shyness and admiration.

Especially that coy look in the girl’s eyes as she turned back, it was utterly intoxicating.

Ling Feng took a deep breath, stowed the map away, and said calmly, ”I appreciate it, Miss Wang. It’s getting late, and it’s not good for a lady’s reputation to be in a room alone with a man at this hour.”

”I...” A hint of disappointment flashed in Wang Caiwei’s eyes. She had already gone this far, taking the initiative, even resorting to ”flirtatious” tactics. Could Ling Feng not see her charm, not discern her intentions?

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows; to him, he could only say he didn’t dislike Wang Caiwei, without any bit of romantic feelings.

”Alright, Miss Wang, I’m a bit tired, and you should head back and rest early too,” Ling Feng said, his face stern, issuing a dismissal.

Wang Caiwei exited the room with a gloomy expression. Outside in the courtyard, Wang Tianlin had been waiting for a long time.

Wang Tianlin sighed and gently patted his daughter’s back, ”My girl, let it go.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Caiwei’s eyes filled with a misty layer of tears, and she threw herself into Wang Tianlin’s arms, weeping soundly, ”Father, what’s wrong with me? I’ve already restrained my temperamental nature and even dressed up carefully for so long. But why... why doesn’t he like me?”

”Silly girl, hasn’t father told you? Young Master Ling and we are simply not the same kind of people,” Wang Tianlin comforted, patting his daughter’s back. ”If it were possible, father would also wish for you to marry Xiao Feng; he’s a good man. In fact, he could have taken advantage of you and left immediately without any consequences, considering his capabilities. Would we dare to say a word against him?”

”But he didn’t do that; he didn’t ruin your lifetime of happiness,” Wang Tianlin shook his head and sighed again, ”Silly girl, you should actually thank him.”

”Moreover, since Xiao Feng has clearly stated his position, you should give up. Don’t continue to entangle yourself, or you might provoke his aversion.”

”I... I...”

Wang Caiwei bit her silver teeth, having cried herself into a tearful mess, no longer able to speak.
