After hearing news about Qin Duo 'er, Qin Fen changed his plan to go to Gourd Island first. However, no one in Hero City knew where Gourd Island was, so he had to ask someone else.
Qin Fen stayed in Hero City for three days. He was cultivating in seclusion, not to break through, but to absorb the soul crystals from the Soul Nurturing Formation on the eighth floor of the 13 palaces.
Not long ago, he had absorbed more than two hundred Soul Crystals and felt that his Sea of Consciousness had broken through a layer. But this time, after absorbing more than eight hundred Soul Crystals, his Sea of Consciousness showed no signs of breaking through. Instead, his Sea of Consciousness became much stronger.
Qin Fen put away the remaining 2000 soul crystals. He didn't know how many more soul crystals he had to absorb before his Sea of Consciousness could continue breaking through. However, after hearing news about his sister, he couldn't wait another day.
After flying for three days and three nights, Qin Fen passed by Pan Shan Market again, but he didn't stop there. He guessed that Qin Huang and Qin Shitian weren't there anymore. The Ancient Cauldron Sect and the Xingkun Sect were looking for him, so it was better to avoid Pan Shan Market.
Before leaving, Yu Wanqiu gave him a detailed map of the South Pingzhou. After flying for another five days, Qin Fen arrived at a place called Luoye City. This was a mortal city with extremely sparse Spirit Qi. Mortals who couldn't cultivate lived here.
Qin Fen wasn't interested in this kind of city. He wouldn't be so bored as to land in a mortal city to scare people. However, when the Flying Cloud Awl was about to fly over Luoye City, three figures flew towards him.
The one running for her life was a woman. She didn't have any cultivation aura, but she was flying on a flying sword that was a True Artifact. One of the two men chasing after him was at the later stage of Immortal Qi and the other was at the early stage of Saint King. Ever since Qin Fen encountered more and more powerful enemies, he hadn't paid attention to such low-level cultivators in a long time.
The two men were originally chasing after the woman, but when they saw Qin Fen's Flying Cloud Awl, their eyes brightened and they immediately chased after him.
"Don't go, you guy in a flying ship!"
"If you don't stop, we'll attack!"
In this mortal city, late stage Immortal Qi and early stage Saint Kings were considered high-level cultivators. No wonder these two cultivators were so arrogant and dared to rob a flying ship.
Qin Feng didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but since they were looking for trouble, he couldn't just leave like that.
After coming out of the Flying Cloud Awl, Qin Fen purposely hid his cultivation level. The two cultivators sized him up and immediately revealed surprised expressions.
"Senior Brother, where do you think these mortals got their treasures from? We've been cultivating for dozens of years, yet we can't even get a Purple Grade Spiritual Sword, let alone an airship. These two fellows are good, they're both mortals without any aura, but one has a top-grade flying sword, and the other has a Flying True Artifact. This is too infuriating … "
That Immortal Qi late stage cultivator kept complaining. The Saint King cultivator laughed, "What are you complaining about? You should be happy. That flying sword and flying ship are going to be ours."
The Immortal Qi stage cultivator was jolted awake, laughing, "Haha! The flying sword belongs to me, and the flying ship belongs to Senior Brother. How about it? "
"It's decided then!"
The two of them reached an agreement. They didn't ask if Qin Fen and the woman were willing, because they didn't think there was a need to ask.
The woman had a top-grade flying sword, so she could have continued to escape. Perhaps she could have shaken off these two, but she stopped in mid-air and said apologetically, "Friend, I'm very sorry for dragging you into this. You should quickly take out your flying ship and leave. Their cultivation levels are too low, they won't be able to catch up to your flying ship."
The Immortal Qi stage cultivator was enraged. "You bitch, you don't even have the right to cultivate, and you dare to say that your cultivation level is low? Wait until I snatch your flying sword, and I'll snatch your body too. "
Disgust flashed in the woman's eyes. She wasn't pretty, and even in the Divine Supreme Continent, where beauties were as common as clouds, she was considered one of the uglier ones. As for the Immortal Qi stage cultivator wanting to play with her, it was obviously just to vent his anger.
Qin Fen didn't leave. He said to the woman, "Stay behind me. Don't worry about those two. It's fine if they scram now, but if they don't, then they'll die here!"
His words were calm, but his words were extremely arrogant.
The Immortal Qi stage cultivator was already enraged, and he swung his sword at Qin Fen. "Ignorant ant, let me see how you'll kill me!"
Rumble!
A loud explosion rang out.
When the opponent launched his attack, the woman frowned. She could see that Qin Fen's body didn't have any aura fluctuations, and it was obvious that he was just a normal person like her. She didn't know where Qin Fen got the confidence to say such arrogant words.
But in the next second, the woman was stunned.
She watched as the Immortal Qi stage cultivator's body exploded, and even the blue-grade spirit sword in his hand was shattered into pieces.
The Early Stage Saint King cultivator's eyeballs fell to the ground. When he regained his senses, he didn't even think about it and immediately took out his flying sword to escape. He could already tell that Qin Fen had hidden his true strength, and he couldn't kill his Junior Brother with a single move.
Rumble!
Another loud explosion rang out in the air, and the Saint King cultivator exploded in the air. He didn't even know what happened before he died.
Qin Fen had killed two people in the blink of an eye, and the woman was dumbfounded.
"You're a cultivator?" After a short while, the woman regained her senses, and her eyes regained their calmness.
Qin Fen felt that her reaction was a little strange. Logically speaking, mortals would be afraid and avoid cultivators, but the woman in front of him was calm and composed. Moreover, the woman actually had a top-grade True Artifact flying sword in her hand. Even Qin Fen didn't have a flying sword of this grade.
"I'm a cultivator, and I just happened to pass by this place. I still have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Qin Fen didn't come here just to save this woman. If it weren't for the two male cultivators blocking him, he would have already flown away.
Seeing that Qin Fen was about to leave, the woman's eyes flashed with disbelief, and she subconsciously shouted, "You, you're leaving just like that?"
Qin Fen was puzzled, "Could it be that you still have some matters to attend to?"
The woman was stunned for a long while before she regained her senses. She took out her top-grade True Artifact flying sword and said, "Since you're a cultivator, don't you want my top-grade True Artifact flying sword?"
Qin Fen finally understood the woman's thoughts. Even that Immortal Qi and Saint King Realm cultivator wanted to kill this woman. He was obviously a more powerful cultivator, but he was indifferent to the top-grade True Artifact flying sword. This was very abnormal in the woman's eyes.
In fact, Qin Fen was also tempted by the top-grade True Artifact flying sword, but he wasn't the kind of person who would rob other people's things. Even though he had killed and robbed people several times, it was the other party who found trouble with him first.
"The flying sword is yours. So what if I like it?"
Qin Fen's words shocked the woman again. She felt that Qin Fen was different from others.
"If there's nothing else, I'm really going to leave."
The woman hurriedly said, "Young hero, don't go. I want to make a deal with you."
Qin Fen looked at the other party in confusion. This woman was obviously an ordinary person, but she actually wanted to make a deal with a cultivator? Wasn't she afraid of being swallowed until not even her bones were left?
But before Qin Fen could agree, the woman took out three spiritual herbs. When he saw these spiritual herbs, Qin Fen was shocked.
"Rank 8 spiritual herb Crescent Grass? Rank 8 spiritual herb Purple-Gold Bamboo, and Rank 8 spiritual vine Ma Sanxian … "
Qin Fen sucked in a breath of cold air. In his heart, he wondered who this ordinary woman was. Not only did she have a top-grade True Artifact flying sword, but she also had Rank 8 spiritual herbs.
Even when he went to explore the Thirteen Palaces not long ago, the highest rank spiritual herb Qin Fen found was the Rank 7 spiritual herb Three-Leafed Demon Ginseng. He didn't find any Rank 8 spiritual herbs.
"That's right, these are all Rank 8 spiritual herbs. Since young hero can recognize them, you must not be an ordinary person."
Seeing that Qin Fen didn't directly snatch the spiritual herbs in her hand, the woman secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"You want to use these spiritual herbs to make a deal with me?" Qin Fen finally perked up.
Although it was his first time seeing these three spiritual herbs, they were all recorded in the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Pills.
The Crescent Grass was needed to refine pills for Cauldron Filling Realm cultivators. The Purple-Gold Bamboo could also be used to refine pills, but using the Purple-Gold Bamboo to refine pills was definitely a waste of resources. This was because the Purple-Gold Bamboo could purify spiritual roots. Although the effect was not as good as the Tree of Life, there were a few spiritual herbs that could purify spiritual roots in the Divine World.
As for the Ma Sanxian, it was a type of vine that could be used as a material for refining tools. The spirit whip refined from it was very powerful.
The woman said, "Young hero can call me Ah Ke. These three spiritual herbs are useless to me, so I can give them to young hero for free."
Qin Fen was shocked. He always thought of himself as a nouveau riche cultivator of the Divine World, but compared to Ah Ke who gave him three Rank 8 spiritual herbs, he felt ashamed.
"Senior Ah Ke, what do you want me to do?"
Although Ah Ke didn't cultivate, Qin Fen felt a very old aura from her body. This aura wasn't the aura of cultivation, but it came from her body.
According to Qin Fen's guess, this woman had lived for at least a few hundred years. In terms of age, calling her senior was not an exaggeration.
Ah Ke didn't deny the way Qin Fen called her. She calmly said, "Young hero, I have a treasure map here. I want you to help me find a treasure. That treasure is a secret manual. If young hero can really find it, I am willing to make a copy of the secret manual for you."
"How do you know about that secret manual? Why do you want to find that secret manual? "Qin Fen was vigilant.
The woman smiled bitterly. "Because that secret manual was originally mine. In fact, many years ago, I could also cultivate it, but my dantian was destroyed. Until now, I still can't repair it …"
"Although I can't cultivate even if I find the secret manual, I must obtain that secret manual. It's more important than my life."
Qin Fen used his divine sense to scan Ah Ke's body. Although this behavior was not good, he had just met this woman, so he had to be careful.
After checking, Qin Fen found that it wasn't that Ah Ke couldn't cultivate, but her dantian was destroyed. What this woman said was true.
"Why do you trust me? Aren't you afraid that I'll take the secret manual for myself? "Qin Fen asked.
The woman smiled bitterly again. "Because I have no other choice. I don't trust anyone on the Divine Continent, but after seeing you, I had a glimmer of hope in my heart. You're different from the other cultivators. You didn't try to rob me of my top-grade flying sword. You didn't even try to rob me when you saw the three level-eight herbs …"
"So, I want to take a gamble. I hope young hero will keep our promise."
