770: C770 This Is Against the Wishes of Others

C770 This Is Against the Wishes of Others

"Um... I'm sorry..."

He had to face what he had to face. After a long time, Xu Feng came back with an awkward expression.

"Ahem..."

After coughing a few times, Leng Mengqi also recovered her cold expression. She shook her head and did not say anything.

She and Xu Feng were not considered friends, but they had saved her twice. This made the hidden fire in her heart slowly grow.

"Why don't you leave and hide! I'll go back and tell Protector Hwa that I lost him!"

After the silence, Leng Mengqi mustered up her courage and took the initiative to speak. This was the first time in a long time that she took the initiative to speak to Xu Feng.

"Where are you going to hide? Where can I hide?"

Xu Feng smiled helplessly and asked. In fact, when Hwa Shaofeng appeared, Xu Feng already knew about the conspiracy. Unfortunately, it was still very difficult for him to truly break away from the control of Ghost Market.

There were still two months left before the appointed time. Xu Feng believed that there would be a way when the time came. Furthermore, the mysterious Solitary Falcon Ridge was a place he had never been to before. Perhaps the Volcano Yang Containing Grass was growing in it?

To be honest, if Xu Feng wasn't tempted by the Seventh Layer Nine Fusions Pill... That would be a lie. After all, refining this kind of Medicine Pill was something that could only be chanced upon by luck and not sought after. If he succeeded, then he might be able to obtain a few more. If he missed it, then it would be a problem whether or not he still had a chance in the future.

To him, this Seventh Layer Nine Fusions Pill was simply a life. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to refine it, he would at least have a little more assurance when he traveled the Jianghu in the future.

If he really couldn't find the Volcano Yang Containing Grass, then Xu Feng wouldn't have to worry about his life. After all, he had escaped from the hands of a few big families. As for how to live, Xu Feng still had some experience.

"Protector Hwa has been searching for so many years, but there's still no way to find it. Do you really think that you can find it in three months' time?"

Leng Mengqi's voice carried a trace of sadness. In all these years, she had seen too many Pill Alchemist die in Protector Hwa's hands.

Without exception, all of these Pill Alchemist were Fifth Grade Medicinal Pill Masters. Even in the entire Southern Ridge, they were all famous existences. However, no one dared to seek revenge after their death. Why?

It was because the hidden strength of Ghost Market was too powerful. Even if there was resentment in the hearts of countless cultivators, they wouldn't dare to casually stir up trouble.

"Don't worry! Trust me, I can do it!"

Xu Feng smiled confidently and said disapprovingly. After a pause, he continued, "Tell me your story."

"My story..."

Looking up at the blue sky, Leng Mengqi, who had always been cold, actually smiled. It was just a little sad.

"I don't have a story. My story is that I have spent countless training. I either win or die. In our eyes, there is only survival, slaughter, or death!"

In just a few short sentences, it summed up more than twenty years of life. It was very clear, but it was also the true portrayal of Leng Mengqi.

Compared to Xu Feng, she was sad. No one would care about her life or death. She also didn't have a day of freedom. Even though she was now in the boundless land of Southern Ridge, she was only sent by Protector Hwa to guard Xu Feng.

"Is this how you plan to spend your life?"

Xu Feng asked again. He didn't believe that there was someone in this world who was willing to be grabbed by the throat and die without knowing when.

Shaking her head, Leng Mengqi sighed softly, "There were people who tried before, but they disappeared after that. I did not want to be caught by them, but I could not escape. Actually, I am quite envious of you!"

In Southern Ridge, Xu Feng's life had already spread across the world. Ghost Market had conducted research on Xu Feng, and Leng Mengqi was no stranger to Xu Feng's information.

"That's true. You are a puppet of Ghost Market, and I am a puppet of this world. Although I don't know how tomorrow will be, at least I will be happier than you!"

Nodding his head, Xu Feng didn't deny it. Being able to control his own fate was a good thing.

"Try to fight for it! There are some things that you will never be able to achieve without putting in a lot of effort! Killing isn't your only goal in this world."

After a long time, Xu Feng added another sentence. Leng Mengqi did not answer. She lowered her head as if she was deep in thought.

In the past, Xu Feng was also a figure who was trampled under the feet of the family disciples. However, he had always resisted. Although it did not have any effect, at least he did it.

Later on, he obtained the small green bottle in the family's medicine garden. His fate changed. He thought that it was not a coincidence. It was just that he could not forget it. There would definitely be a echo.

If it was someone else, Xu Feng would not have said those words. But when he was seriously injured, Leng Mengqi's care for him made him feel that Leng Mengqi was not a heartless person. That was why he wanted to help her.

As for how to choose, it was Leng Mengqi's matter. If he took a step forward, it might be a paradise, but it could also be a bottomless abyss, beyond redemption.

After resting for four to four hours, the sky gradually darkened. Under the sun, the two of them didn't continue their journey and found an empty place to rest.

As for Xu Feng, he went around and caught two wild rabbits.

Xu Feng knew a lot about survival skills in the wild. After plucking the fur, he set up a fire and roasted the two wild rabbits. Not long after, they gave off waves of fragrance.

"Hey..."

Xu Feng handed the wild rabbit to Leng Mengqi and said sincerely.

After knowing about Leng Mengqi's matter, Xu Feng could not help but feel pity for her. This was also the reason why she specially went around to roast two wild rabbits.

Leng Mengqi's face was full of frost. This was not her personality. It was because of her distorted worldview from a young age. Xu Feng hoped that in this short period of contact, he could help Leng Mengqi a little.

"It's delicious..."

After eating the roasted meat, Leng Mengqi praised. She had eaten many restaurants' food, but it was not as good as the barbeque.

"Do you want to drink?"

Hearing Leng Mengqi's praise, Xu Feng could not help but feel proud. He took out the fine wine from Zhao Loong's house and handed it to Leng Mengqi.

"You... You don't want to get me drunk and take the opportunity to run away, do you?"

Leng Mengqi looked at Xu Feng vigilantly. She did not believe him. She was not afraid that the wine could get her drunk, but she was afraid that Xu Feng would do something to her.

"Forget it!"

Xu Feng did not force her. He took a sip and let the fragrance of the wine fill his taste buds.

The fine wine of Zhao family was extremely precious. Even he was reluctant to share it with Leng Mengqi. It would be even better if Leng Mengqi did not drink it.

"You should give me a sip..."

Leng Mengqi said softly. Clearly, she was a little embarrassed. Xu Feng laughed lightly and took out another pot of fine wine. He placed it on Leng Mengqi's body and said, "Don't worry, there is no poison!"

Just like that, the two of them drank the wine and grilled meat. They ate until the full moon shone. Leng Mengqi did not speak much, but Xu Feng kept talking about his interesting past. It made the wind and frost on Leng Mengqi's body gradually disappear and turn into a comfortable smile.

That night, they chatted until midnight before Xu Feng laid down to rest. Leng Mengqi, on the other hand, was in charge of keeping the wind. Xu Feng, who was sleeping, did not see Leng Mengqi's gaze on her. It had always been on her.

The next day, the two of them rushed on their way again. Leng Mengqi's attitude towards Xu Feng also changed a little. In her eyes, Xu Feng saw a kind of life. He knew the desire for freedom. Everything he did. It had worked.

Just like that, another month passed. During this period of time, all the marked points on the map had run away. He had seen many treasures on the Dragon Vein, but there was no Volcano Yang Containing Grass.

"Why don't... you leave? Protector Hwa's punishment, I can bear it!"

Leng Mengqi stopped again and told him what she thought. She did not want Xu Feng to die in Hwa Shaofeng's hands just like that.

If he wanted to die, she could die for him.2

"Do you believe me?"

Xu Feng wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he asked with a smile, just like half a month ago, he was still as calm and confident as before.

"Do you believe me or not? What difference does it make?"

Leng Mengqi did not understand. She did not understand why Xu Feng asked this question. She also did not understand what Xu Feng wanted him to believe.

"If you believe me, then follow me!"

Now, he had searched all the places where the Volcano Yang Containing Grass might appear on the map. The only place he did not search was the Lonely Eagle Ridge.

To be honest, Xu Feng didn't want to go to the Lonely Eagle Ridge. That was why he had spent more than a month to find out about the Volcano Yang Containing Grass. Unfortunately, it was against his wishes. After wandering around for a month, his final goal was still to follow the map.

The two of them set off again. Three days later, Xu Feng and Xu Feng appeared at the foot of the Lonely Eagle Ridge.

This mountain towered into the clouds, standing proudly between the heaven and earth. It was like the pillar of the heaven and earth, extremely majestic.

"Lonely Eagle Ridge... looking down on the mountains, high and mighty, it does have the aura of a lone eagle."

Looking at the tall mountain in front of him, Xu Feng muttered to himself. At the same time, he could not help but feel a little sad. It was lonely at the top, the strong were lonely, or it could be said that the current state of the Lonely Eagle Ridge was.

"Why did you bring me here? Could it be that the Volcano Yang Containing Grass grew here?"

Leng Mengqi did not understand. This Lonely Eagle Ridge did not seem to be the location on the map.

"I don't know. I also followed the feeling. Sometimes, such a spiritual herb requires a certain fate..."

Xu Feng casually lied. After deceiving her, he strode towards the Lonely Eagle Ridge.

About two hours later, the two of them stood on the peak of the Lonely Hawk Ridge. Clouds and mist lingered around them as they looked down from above. Their field of vision was wide.

"Have you noticed that the spiritual energy on the summit is extremely abundant?"

After feeling the majestic Qi, Xu Feng asked with a smile. Leng Mengqi quickly felt the Spiritual Force of Heaven and Earth, and it was just as Xu Feng had said.

The Spiritual Force here was very dense. Compared to the violent and violent Spiritual Force in the Burial Dragon Abyss, the Spiritual Force here was much purer. It could be absorbed into one's body and become a part of one's Yuan energy. If one could cultivate here, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

"It's these clouds!"

Leng Mengqi was right. The Yuan Power on the mountaintop came from these clouds. The density of the Spiritual Force had actually turned into a physical entity. Such a Spiritual Force was indeed shocking. Compared to what they had seen before... It's much thicker.
