291: Phoenix Egg

“Senior Brothers, please inform Hall Master Qin that we wish to see him.”

Han Yue and Zhao Qianshui arrived at Whirlwind River Valley and politely asked a Netherworld Soul Hall Disciple.

“Our Hall Master is busy right now. If you have something to discuss, you can wait here!”

The speaker was a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. Upon seeing Han Yue and Zhao Qianshui’s ugly appearances, he even showed a look of disdain before turning and returning to Whirlwind River Valley!

“Outrageous! This is simply too much!”

“If this were in the Sect, I’d find a way to kill you!”

Han Yue’s face darkened, and a hint of anger involuntarily surfaced. If this were Li Huo Immortal Sect, who would dare to give him attitude?

But this was Whirlwind River Valley, and they were all Hall Master Qin’s people. It was said that the Netherworld Soul Hall even had Void Refinement Stage Cultivators overseeing it now. Here, even if they were treated differently, they had to endure it…

“Senior Brother, why don’t we just skip going inside the valley? We can just find someone to hand it over to him. Once he receives the item, he should understand what we mean.”

Zhao Qianshui explained weakly, then silently glanced towards the Whirlwind River Valley again.

They had already endured quite a bit of frustration before even entering the Netherworld Soul Hall. She worried that if they truly entered the Netherworld Soul Hall, they would be targeted further. Being frustrated was a small matter, but if they accidentally couldn’t hold back and lost their lives, it wouldn’t be worth it.

“Alright.”

Han Yue nodded, looking dejected, and began to wander around the valley.

At this time, many guests were leaving the Whirlwind River Valley, and no one noticed the two lingering around the valley.

After about an hour, the two still hadn’t seen Qin Feng, but after their last setback, Zhao Qianshui had found a new method.

“Junior Brother, could you please help us?”

She exuded the powerful aura of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, smiling as she stared at a Qi Refinement Stage Great Perfection Cultivator from the Netherworld Soul Hall who had just become free.

“Is there something I can help you with?”

Although this Qi Refinement Stage Disciple’s cultivation was very low, he showed no fear when facing Zhao Qianshui.

“We knew Hall Master Qin before, and we were delayed by something, which is why we arrived late. Could you please help us deliver something to him?”

As she spoke, Zhao Qianshui took out two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones from her storage ring and slipped them into the Disciple’s hand. With the benefit received, the Disciple’s smile widened considerably, and he immediately nodded, agreeing to deliver the item.

Han Xiong took out a palm-sized, red, densely scaled large egg from his storage ring and handed it to the Disciple, while Zhao Qianshui quickly instructed:

“Little Junior Brother, this is a Divine Beast Phoenix Egg, extremely precious. You must personally hand it to Hall Master Qin!”

“A Divine Beast Egg?”

“Yes, just tell him it’s from Han Yue and Zhao Qianshui of Li Huo Immortal Sect.”

“Han Yue, Zhao Qianshui?”

“Yes.”

“This might be a bit difficult.”

“Why would it be difficult? Aren’t you from the Netherworld Soul Hall? It should be easy for you to see Hall Master Qin!”

“You need to pay more!”

…

Three hours later.

In a secret chamber beneath the Whirlwind River Valley’s underground palace.

Qin Feng lay on a wooden bed he had taken out from his storage ring, looking at Gong Miaoyin, who was tidying her clothes, a strange smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

His First Wife was a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator. If he were to find some Dual Cultivation Techniques to use, his Realm would undoubtedly improve significantly. Anyway, their intimate moments always lasted a long time, so wouldn't it be a waste not to Dual Cultivate?

“You shouldn’t even think about Dual Cultivation. If you want to achieve Immortal Ascension and the Dao, you should focus solely on Cultivating. Those are just unorthodox methods.”

Even without speaking, Gong Miaoyin could sense Qin Feng’s thoughts. Her gaze towards Qin Feng was full of disdain, though at this moment, her face was flushed, making her look as if she were pouting.

“I was just thinking about it. Anyway, it would be a waste not to Dual Cultivate.”

Qin Feng grinned, then also got up and began to get dressed.

A moment later.

The two walked out of the secret chamber. Qin Yue was already standing at the exit at the end of the secret chamber passage, having waited for a long time. Seeing them emerge, she pretended to know nothing and said:

“Xiao Feng, someone sent you something.”

Saying this, Qin Yue took out a dark red, large egg from her storage ring. It was covered in fine scales, and the moment it appeared, it immediately caused the surrounding temperature to rise significantly. Within this heat, there was also a strong aura of life.

“What is this?”

Qin Feng looked bewildered, and Gong Miaoyin explained, “This is a Phoenix Egg, a relatively rare item. However, Phoenix Eggs are very difficult to nurture. They require at least Heaven Rank Spirit Nurturing Pills or Heaven Rank Divine Beast Pills to survive.”

Qin Yue immediately added, “It was sent by people from your Li Huo Immortal Sect, named Han Yue and Zhao Qianshui, they had someone deliver it.”

Han Yue? Zhao Qianshui?

These two are quite interesting.

Qin Feng accepted the Phoenix Egg, but Gong Miaoyin and Qin Yue were not too excited. Although Phoenix Eggs were rare, they were not unique, and the most difficult part was nurturing them. According to records, even in the Spirit Realm, very few people could nurture a Phoenix; most simply tamed existing wild ones.

Although they weren't optimistic about the Phoenix Egg, Qin Feng was very optimistic.

Heaven Rank Spirit Nurturing Pills might be unobtainable for others, but he could get them. As long as this thing could be eaten, he could get as many as needed.

“Sister, I have to leave for a while. Please take care of yourselves from now on.”

Before leaving.

Gong Miaoyin reluctantly instructed Qin Yue, and at the same time, took out two bamboo leaf jade pendants, giving one to her and one to Ding Shuli for emergencies.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The interior of the Netherworld Soul Hall’s Whirlwind River Valley returned to peace. All the guests had basically left, leaving only the Netherworld Soul Hall’s people planting medicinal herbs and arranging Spiritual Veins throughout the Whirlwind River Valley.

The major forces had collectively sent six Spiritual Veins—four Medium Grade Spiritual Veins and two Low Grade Spiritual Veins—plus countless rare medicinal herbs, Magical Artifacts, and Talismans.

Spiritual Veins could improve the geographical environment and the Spiritual Qi concentration, so now Chen Bingxue and others were following Qin Feng, studying where these Spiritual Veins should be placed.

Wen Xiaomei suggested, “Sect Master, the Spiritual Qi within our Sect is already much denser than when we were in Zhao Country. Why don’t we place all these Spiritual Veins in the Immortal Caves? This way, the Disciples’ Cultivation speed will also greatly increase.”

Chen Bingxue and Tie Zhu also thought this was a good suggestion.

The Netherworld Soul Hall’s output of medicinal herbs and Medicinal Pills was already abundant. If they significantly improved the Cultivation environment now, the Disciples’ Realms would also rapidly advance.

Of course, these were the conventional thoughts of most people in this world. Qin Feng’s ideas were different from theirs.

Cultivators and resources were two separate parts. For most Loose Cultivators or small forces without powerful backing, improving strength was very important. But the Netherworld Soul Hall now had powerful backing, and was even an undeniable major force in Spirit Province, so there was no need to focus resources on Cultivation.

Moreover, the Netherworld Soul Hall’s Disciples were previously Loose Cultivators. Even providing them with abundant Spiritual Qi wouldn’t be very useful, as their Aptitude was limited.

It would be better to first enrich their resources. Then, even a foolish pig could be elevated into a powerful figure using various Medicinal Pills!

Seeing Qin Feng remain silent, everyone secretly understood that he had other plans. A hint of anxiety appeared in Tie Zhu’s eyes as he asked:

“Feng Ge, what are you thinking?”
