149: Second-level elixir, show your skills

Inside the Immortal Cave, the light was dim, with only a few moonstones emitting a soft glow.

Lin Qingyao looked at Lin Feng's calm yet confident eyes, and for a moment, she felt a sense of trance. Ten years of experience had changed this nephew too much; not only could she no longer discern his cultivation, but more importantly, that calm, ocean-like demeanor, as if he could encompass all stormy waves, made him a completely different person from the slightly green and hastily departing youth she remembered.

"Xiao Feng, you..." Lin Qingyao hesitated, wanting to ask about his cultivation, but felt it was inappropriate.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, not answering directly, but instead took out several more jade bottles and jade boxes from his Storage Pouch.

"Clan Aunt, your injuries are not light; let's stabilize them completely first. These Medicinal Pills have miraculous effects on internal injuries; please take them." He handed over two jade bottles containing High Grade 'Meridian Nourishing Pills' and 'Rejuvenation Pills' of the second-tier, which he had commissioned a Great Master of Alchemy in Tianfeng City to refine using high-quality Spiritual Plants.

Lin Qingyao took the jade bottles, pulled out the stoppers, and a pure medicinal fragrance immediately permeated the air, invigorating her spirit. She was also knowledgeable about Medicinal Pills; upon smelling the fragrance, she knew that these Medicinal Pills were of extremely High Grade, far beyond what the Family's Pill Hall could refine, and even several times better than similar Medicinal Pills sold by the Yellow Sand Sect's Pill Pavilion!

"This... this is too precious..." She was a little at a loss.

"Clan Aunt, there's no need to be polite; healing is the priority." Lin Feng's tone was unyielding. He then opened another jade box, which contained ten bright red crimson flame jujube pears, exuding a hot and spicy aroma. "These Spirit Fruits contain abundant Fire Origin Qi, which can help you quickly recover your magical power."

Next, he even took out a slightly smaller jade bottle, containing golden, viscous Jade Bee King Jelly. "This is Jade Bee King Jelly, which has a subtle effect on repairing Meridians and nourishing the Divine Soul. Please take one drop daily."

Lin Qingyao looked at these precious items, which simply by their medicinal fragrance and Spiritual Qi seemed to improve her injuries by three parts, and she was completely stunned. Each of these resources was incredibly valuable, especially the Jade Bee King Jelly, which she had only heard of but never seen! What had Xiao Feng experienced in these ten years? Was the Eastern Sea Region so prosperous?

Little did she know, this was merely a drop in the ocean of Lin Feng's wealth.

"Clan Aunt, please recuperate first. I will be your Protector." Lin Feng said gently.

Lin Qingyao suppressed the surging waves in her heart, knowing that now was not the time to ask questions. She nodded heavily and, following his words, took the Medicinal Pills and Jade Bee King Jelly, then began to circulate her Qi to heal her injuries.

The pure medicinal power dissolved, flowing like sweet spring water through a dry riverbed, rapidly nourishing her damaged Meridians and internal organs. The effect of the Jade Bee King Jelly was even more significant; a gentle but powerful life force integrated into her Divine Soul, greatly relieving her Divine Soul, which was exhausted from the fierce battle and anxiety.

In less than half an hour, a hint of color returned to Lin Qingyao's pale face, and her breathing became much more stable and powerful. Although it was still far from full recovery, she was no longer in serious danger.

She slowly opened her eyes, looking at Lin Feng with a gaze full of complexity and gratitude: "Xiao Feng, thank you. These Medicinal Pills and Spirit items... the effects are too good!"

"We are Family; there's no need for thanks." Lin Feng waved his hand. "Clan Aunt, this place is not suitable for a long stay. Since your injuries are stable, should we immediately set off back to the Family land? I am worried that the next wave of beast tide might arrive at any time."

"Yes, yes, yes! We must go back as soon as possible!" Lin Qingyao immediately stood up, her face showing urgency. "The Clan Chief is injured, Qingyue is struggling alone, and the Family land needs manpower! I'll pack up now; there are still some important supplies in the shop that need to be taken."

She quickly put some precious Spiritual Plants, finished Medicinal Pills, and Spirit Stones accumulated over the years from the shop's storeroom into her Storage Pouch. Lin Feng also lent a hand; his Divine Sense was powerful, and his movements were swift.

Soon, everything was packed. Lin Qingyao took one last look at the shop she had managed for many years, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

The two walked out of the shop, and Lin Feng summoned his Flying Shuttle.

Seeing this shining, clearly High Grade Flying Shuttle, Lin Qingyao was stunned again. Xiao Feng had too many secrets.

Just as they were about to step onto the Flying Shuttle, a commotion and exclamations suddenly came from the direction of the market entrance!

"Oh no! Beast tide! More sea beasts are coming!"

"Quick! Activate the great formation! Everyone, be on alert!"

A shrill alarm instantly echoed throughout the entire market.

Lin Feng's Divine Sense had already swept out a step ahead. In the distance, on the sea, dozens of various sea beasts were riding the wind and waves! Leading them were three 'Sawtooth Mad Sharks' of the Foundation Establishment, followed by more than twenty various sea beasts of the Qi training (Late Stage). The lineup was even stronger than the one that had pursued Lin Qingyao earlier!

Clearly, this was a new vanguard of the beast tide, attempting to launch another assault while Yellow Sand Island's defenses were weak.

The market's light shield suddenly lit up, but its glow was noticeably dimmer than before. The Cultivators who had endured the bitter battle all showed expressions of despair and fear. The Yellow Sand Sect's Cultivators on duty shouted loudly, organizing defenses, but there was clearly insufficient manpower.

Lin Qingyao's face turned pale, and she instinctively wanted to retreat back into the shop, relying on its defenses to hold out.

"Clan Aunt, please wait here for a moment." Lin Feng's calm voice rang out.

Before Lin Qingyao could react, Lin Feng's figure had already disappeared from the Flying Shuttle.

The next moment, he appeared outside the market's light shield, directly facing the surging beast tide! His robes flapped in the sea wind, but his figure was as steady as a mountain.

"Xiao Feng! Come back! It's dangerous!" Lin Qingyao screamed in fright, her heart almost leaping out of her chest. There were dozens of sea beasts, and three of them were in the Foundation Establishment Stage! Wasn't he just going to his death by rushing out alone?

However, the scene that unfolded next completely subverted her understanding and left an unforgettable impression on her for the rest of her life.

Facing the roaring beast horde, Lin Feng didn't even take out his Flying Sword. He merely slowly raised his right hand, pointing his fingers like a sword, and with aA point in the air at the Sawtooth Mad Shark charging at the very front.

There was no earth-shattering commotion, only an extremely condensed, incredibly fast blue electric light, as if tearing through space, flashing by in an instant!

Puff!

The Sawtooth Mad Shark of the Foundation Establishment had a charred hole appear instantly in the center of its massive head. The ferocity in its eyes instantly turned into deathly stillness. Its huge body, propelled by inertia, charged forward for several feet before crashing into the sea with a boom, splashing up huge waves.

Instant kill!

The exclamations within the market abruptly ceased. Everyone's eyes widened, watching this scene in disbelief.

The other two Sawtooth Mad Sharks and the sea beasts behind them seemed to be momentarily stunned by this sudden attack, their speed slightly faltering.

But Lin Feng didn't give them time to react. His figure remained still, his Divine Sense slightly concentrated.

"Soul Piercing Thorn!"

Silently, the two Sawtooth Mad Sharks of the Foundation Establishment seemed to be simultaneously struck on the head by an invisible heavy hammer, letting out a painful shriek. Their movements instantly stiffened, and their eyes became unfocused.

At the same time, Lin Feng flicked his sleeve.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Dozens of Talismans shot out like a swarm of golden bees! These were his stockpiled 'Golden Sharp Armor-Breaking Talismans'!

These Talismans precisely bypassed the two stiffened Mad Sharks, as if they had eyes, and shot towards the Qi training Stage sea beasts behind them!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

A continuous series of explosions rang out among the sea beast horde! Each Talisman was equivalent to a full-strength strike from a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment (Middle Stage). How could those Qi training Stage sea beasts possibly withstand it? They were instantly torn apart by the sharp metal Qi, with severed limbs flying everywhere, and blood dyeing a large area of the sea red!
