Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 11 Crystal Vermillion Fruit
"Junior sister!"

The burly man looked at the woman in pain and quickly ran to her side.

The remaining horse-faced man drew out his sword and looked at Leng Feibai coldly.

Leng Feibai held the Kanglong mace, stared at the three men, and said in a cold voice, "You use swords, and your accents suggest you're from Dongyi City. Are you the disciples of Si Gu Jian?"

The horse-faced man heard this and said coldly, "Since you know my master, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy!"

After Leng Feibai pondered for a moment, he put down his Kanglong mace and said, "Get out of here now. I won't touch you for the sake of my status as Grandmaster. Otherwise, don't blame me for bullying the weak!"

After saying this, Leng Feibai released his seventh-grade cultivation without reservation.

"Seventh-rank master!"

The horse-faced man's scalp tingled when he saw that Leng Feibai was a seventh-rank master. He gritted his teeth and said, "How can the descendant of a grandmaster retreat without a fight?"

After saying that, the horse-faced man flew forward and rushed towards Leng Feibai.

Leng Feibai shook his head, brushed his thumb across the wheel of the Kanglong Mace, and swung the mace to hit the sword.

"Snapped"

The long sword broke into two pieces on the spot. The horse-faced man looked at the sword in his hand with surprise in his eyes.

"roll!"

Leng Feibai cursed and picked up a pan-fried bun and started eating it.

The horse-faced man's face flushed, and he turned around and took the injured girl down the teahouse with the strong man.

"If you dare to vent your anger on the shopkeepers or the people in the city, you will die!"

As soon as Leng Feibai's voice fell, the three men shuddered on the spot, dropped a silver ingot, and left the teahouse.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly thanked Leng Feibai, "Thank you very much for your help, young man. I thank you on your behalf!"

Leng Feibai waved his hand, no longer in the mood to continue drinking tea. He stood up and said, "Hey, please pack up the snacks for me. I won't be drinking tea anymore!"

Looking at Leng Feibai's expression, Master Chen tugged at the maid's sleeve.

The maid understood and quickly said, "Little Brother, this young master's tea money will be charged to my young master's account!"

Leng Feibai said nothing and went downstairs with the packed snacks.

"Forget it, let's go to the mountains and forests outside Suzhou tomorrow and leave here. We've had so much trouble along the way!"

Leng Feibai thought about it and turned to go to Suzhou's commercial street to buy a few sets of clothes.

He also bought more than twenty pieces of Suzhou's high-quality silk, brocade, Suzhou embroidered silk handkerchiefs, tea and other things and divided them into two parts. He also wrote two letters and entrusted them to the escort agency in the city to escort them to the Fan family in Danzhou and the Sinanbo Mansion in Kyoto respectively.

"In this way, the five hundred taels of reward for the flower thief have been completely spent!"

Leng Feibai smacked his lips. "Fortunately, I still have the gold, silver, and jewelry I stole from Hunjianglong, which is enough for me to spend like crazy."

After leaving the escort agency, Leng Feibai saw that it was getting dark and decided to walk around for a while, then returned to the inn to rest.

"Young man, please stay!"

A sturdy man stopped in front of Leng Feibai and bowed, saying, "Young man, my name is Chen Shun. My master has prepared a banquet at Tianfuju across the street. Please come."

"Your last name is Chen!"

If Leng Feibai remembered correctly, the young man who was coughing in the teahouse at noon seemed to have the surname Chen.

"Since someone is treating me to a meal, there's no need for me to refuse. Look at what this man is going to do!"

Thinking of this, Leng Feibai nodded and said, "Thank you very much, please lead the way!"

In the private room on the second floor of Tianfuju, a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure and a long beard stood up and bowed when he saw Leng Feibai, saying, "My name is Chen Yi, and I am honored to meet you, young man. Thank you for saving my son this afternoon."

"Master Chen, you're too polite." Leng Feibai bowed in return. "Besides, it was those people who attacked me first. I was only defending myself."

Chen Yi smiled, waved his hand and invited Leng Feibai to sit down, and asked tentatively, "I don't know you, Mr. Leng. Where are you from?"

"Danzhou!"

Leng Feibai smiled and said, "They are not from a wealthy family. It's just that by chance I learned some self-defense skills from a famous teacher."

"Young Master, you have such martial arts skills at such a young age. You will definitely become a new Grandmaster in the future."

As Chen Yi spoke, he picked up the wine glass and said, "I offer a toast to you, young master."

Leng Feibai quickly picked up the wine glass and returned the toast, drank the wine in the glass, and used the Five Elements and One Qi magic to dissolve the alcohol.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Chen Yi took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the table. He said, "These three thousand taels of banknotes are my thanks to you, young master. In addition, I have a favor to ask. If you agree, I am willing to give you another ten thousand taels of banknotes."

After hearing this, Leng Feibai looked puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Chen Yi sighed and said, "My family sells medicinal herbs. We have a son and a daughter. My daughter was killed by that bastard flower thief a few days ago, leaving only my son. He is dying of tuberculosis. A few days ago, a herbalist went into the mountains to collect herbs and found a crystal red fruit. This medicine has the power to bring back the dead and cure all diseases. However, there are a pair of large white insects next to the herb..."

Leng Feibai nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, but Master Chen, one crystal red fruit can bring back the dead. If there are more than one red fruit..."

"Gui Young Hero!"

Chen Yi quickly said, "Also, if you can kill those two giant insects, I will be willing to buy their bodies with an equivalent amount of silver."

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he took out two jade boxes and a map from his sleeve and said, "The Crystal Vermillion Fruit needs to be kept in a jade box. The location is on the map. I, old man, will leave you in my hands!"

Leng Feibai smiled and said, "The Crystal Vermillion Fruit is also very useful to warriors. I will definitely do my best."

Leng Feibai finished speaking, then stood up and took all the things away. "If it's quick, I'll be back by noon the day after tomorrow at the latest, and I'll personally deliver them to the Chen family's residence."

After saying that, Leng Feibai bowed and turned to leave the private room.

Watching Leng Feibai leave, Chen Yi clapped his hands, and an old man dressed as a butler walked in.

"Master, I've found out everything!"

The housekeeper whispered, "That kid sent two batches of goods from the Shunyi Escort Agency. They were all silk, Song brocade, and the like. But the delivery addresses were shocking. One was the Fan Mansion in Danzhou, and the other was the Sinanbo Mansion in Jingdu!"

"Minister of Revenue Fan Jian!"

Chen Yi stroked his beard and said, "It seems this kid is quite powerful. The Fan Mansion in Danzhou is where His Majesty's mother lives. This kid, at such a young age, is actually connected to the Fan family. He must be from some humble background. It's better not to offend him."

In the Jixiang Inn, Leng Feibai leaned on the bed and ate candied snacks.

"I didn't expect to receive such a commission. The Crystal Vermillion Fruit is a treasure that can enhance one's power. One fruit can increase one's power by half a century. My Five Calming Mind Contemplation has already reached the eighth level..."

Leng Feibai thought for a moment and said, "If I have its help, even if I can't advance to the eighth rank, I can still push the Five Calming Mind Contemplations to the highest level in one go."

After making up his mind, Leng Feibai looked at the map in his hand.

Drawn on the map is Qionglong Mountain, a famous mountain outside Suzhou city.

"Qionglong Mountain is famous for producing medicinal herbs. It's no surprise that it has crystal red fruit!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.

After a sleepless night, Leng Feibai had breakfast the next morning, checked out of the guest room, and flew towards Qionglong Mountain outside the city.

Qionglong Mountain covers an area of ​​approximately eight kilometers, which is different from modern undeveloped mountains.

The mountains are full of towering peaks and steep cliffs, and the howling of wild beasts can be heard faintly.

"The Crystal Vermillion Fruit is in a natural valley in the mountains. We need to find it quickly!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he flew towards the location on the map.
