My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

The Golden Age Aura

”This herb is mine, get lost,” the gloomy old man sneered and said coldly.

Qingfeng Li frowned his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, thinking, ”How arrogant is this geezer, claiming the herb when I was the first one to see it?”

He narrowed his eyes and saw an old gloomy man in black. His pale face radiated a sense of death.

Qingfeng Li did not care much about his remark since he would neither leave nor give up the Golden Herb.

”I will say it one more time. As the third elder of the Sky Corpse Sect, Han Shi, I will kill you if you don’t leave,” the old man’s eyes shined with a murderous intent as he said coldly.

”Get lost,” Qingfeng Li cursed directly at him. He wouldn’t even give the herb up if the sect master was here, not to mention the third elder of the Sky Corpse Sect.

Han Shi waved his right hand and, releasing the death aura from his body, conjured a giant corpse golem.

It was about three meters high and was exuding a strong sense of death. As masters in the late-stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, all the elders of the Sky Corpse Sect were able to summon corpse golems to fight for them.

It abruptly jumped up from the ground toward Qingfeng Li, swiping out with its sharp claws.

Boom!

Qingfeng Li held his Red Fiery Sword out in front of his chest. The corpse golem was covered in a deathly aura which forced Qingfeng to use his sword arts so that he would not come into contact with it.

”Fire Thunder Condensation,” Qingfeng Li roared as his Red Fiery Sword chopped onto the golem through the air like a flash of fire.

BaliBong balibong!

The hair on the corpse golem was singed off as its body was burnt black by the flash of fire. The golem fell to the ground after a few twitches and stopped moving.

Everyone was astonished to see Qingfeng Li kill a corpse golem of the late-stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm with one swing.

”How dare you to kill my corpse golem!?” Han Shi yelled coldly with anger.

”Get lost or I’ll kill you as well,” Qingfeng Li said with disdain.

Han Shi was embarrassed to be treated as a negligible ant by this arrogant young man so, of course, he wouldn’t leave like that. He waved his right hand, conjuring a giant palm that slapped towards Qingfeng with a strong deadly force.

Qingfeng Li frowned at the disgusting evil smell that permeated Han Shi’s techniques.

”One Finger Splits All,” Qingfeng Li used the first move of the Conqueror’s Finger. Vital essence suddenly shot out of his finger and split Han Shi in half.

Poor Han Shi thought that Qingfeng Li would be easy to deal with since he was young, having no idea how many moves Qingfeng possessed that could easily kill him.

Seeing this, the disciples of the small sects were all scared far away.

Qingfeng was thus able to calmly walk to the golden herb to pick it.

The herb was so hard it felt like a piece of gold in Qingfeng Li’s hands. It even stayed in its shape despite his touch.

He channeled his vital essence and finally plucked the Golden Herb after great effort.

Qingfeng Li sat down with his legs crossed and placed the herb in front of him as he started to take in its energy. Anyone with an ordinary cultivation technique would have had a hard time assimilating the energy of gold.

He activated his Mortal Purgatory Body Technique to forcefully absorb the energy of the Golden Herb, causing a ray of golden light to be sucked out of the Golden Herb and absorbed by Qingfeng’s body.

The color of his body slowly turned from red into a light golden color as the energy entered his body.

Gold is one of the hardest objects, which also doesn’t rot or corrode, even after thousands of years. The energy inside of the golden herb was of the essence of gold, one of the five fundamental elements. Gold was obviously the hardest amongst the five, with the other four being wood, water, fire, and earth.

Qingfeng Li was glad to find that the golden herb was helpful for the practice of the fourth level of the Mortal Purgatory Body. His body slowly turned into a faint golden color after he finished taking in all the energy from the Golden Herb.

A hint of the golden energy was restored in his bones. It contained enormous power even though it was only the size of a pea.

Qingfeng Li kept walking ahead with Flower Fairy. Black Puppy and the Sky-Devourer Snake’s eyes were filled with excitement and jealousy.

”Big bro! When can you give me a golden herb, too?” Black Puppy asked, waggling its tail.

The Golden Herb was not only helpful for Qingfeng Li but also for Black Puppy, so it started to ask him for it already.

”You can have one next time,” Qingfeng Li told him. It was beneficial for Black Puppy to improve its strength since it could lend a helping hand to Qingfeng when the time arises.

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s promise to Black Puppy, Sky-Devourer Snake climbed to his side and asked with its tail waggling as well, ”Big brother, when can I get one as well?”

Ha!

Flower Fairy finally burst into laughter as her entire body shivered and her face blushed, becoming red wine in color.

”What are you laughing about?” Qingfeng Li frowned in confusion.

Flower Fairy whispered as she tried to hide her laughter, ”What do you think I am laughing about? Both Black Puppy and Sky-Devourer Snake both called you big brother just now.”

Qingfeng Li was stupefied before he realized that being called brother by a dog would make him a dog and being called brother by a snake would make him a snake.

Pow!

He slapped the Sky-Devourer Snake’s head and said coldly, ”Do not call me big brother in the future.”

Then he walked beside Black Puppy and gave him a kick, ”Same to you, don’t call me big brother ever again.”

Both Black Puppy and the Sky-Devourer Snake looked at Qingfeng Li sadly, with gloomy eyes.

In fact, they were two famous celestial creatures back in the ancient times, and everyone would have killed to call them ’big brother’. Now, they were being scolded and beaten for calling a mere human ’big brother’.

Qingfeng Li kept on walking with Flower Fairy and Shark Demon King, being too busy looking for treasures on the Golden Island to care about the two beasts’ feelings.

Peng, peng, peng…

It wasn’t long before they heard some intense fighting sounds ahead of them.

The sound came from a grove and the intense skirmish taking place had already left many trees chopped in half and was still sending branches flying everywhere.

One of the branches flew towards Qingfeng Li and he caught it right in front of him, easily shattering it into countless pieces.
