Then the village chief took out a black box from the house. Jiang Feng used the Qingyun Jue to take a look. It was not simple. This box was actually a top-grade magic weapon. No wonder it could cover up the aura of the fairy stone.
At this moment, the village chief, who had been silent all this time, finally broke the silence. He looked at Jiang Feng and said with some hesitation in his eyes: "Xiao Feng, can I ask you a few questions?"
Jiang Feng nodded and answered simply: "Of course, but if there are some things that are not convenient to talk about, then I may not be able to tell you."
The village chief took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his nervousness, and then asked cautiously: "Xiao Feng, I want to know what realm you are in now? Why can't I see through your strength at all? Also, what realm is your grandfather in? Also... will he return to our Niu Village?"
Hearing the village chief's barrage of questions, Jiang Feng didn't answer immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and began to mobilize the spiritual energy around him. Suddenly, a faint glow emanated from his body, gradually growing brighter. As the light grew stronger, a powerful pressure was unleashed. Da Zhuang and Monkey, standing nearby, felt as if a thousand-pound boulder had pressed down on them, so heavy that even breathing became extremely difficult. Niu Sixi wasn't much better off. He felt sweat pouring out of his body like a spring, soaking his clothes in the blink of an eye.
However, it wasn't long before Jiang Feng gently withdrew his suffocating pressure. He opened his eyes, stared directly at the village chief, Niu Sixi, and slowly spoke, "Uncle Sixi, from now on, if you have anything to say to me, you can just say it directly, without resorting to subtle tactics. Just now, I caught a hint of conspiracy in your eyes. While you might be doing this for the sake of future generations of your Niu family, to be honest, I don't like the feeling."
Niu Sixi's face paled immediately after Jiang Feng exposed his inner thoughts. Beads of sweat streamed down his forehead. He quickly bowed and tremblingly apologized, "Senior, please forgive my ignorant offense. I won't dare to do it again! I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me!"
Jiang Feng answered again: "My cultivation is at the foundation-building stage. As for my grandfather, it's better for you not to know about him. He won't return to Niu Village. You want to give this immortal stone to me so that I can protect your Niu family?"
Jiang Feng's words revealed the secret, and Niu Sixi was ashamed. Jiang Feng said again: "I, Jiang Feng, grew up in Niu Village and have long regarded the villagers as my own family. If Niu Village is in trouble, I, Jiang Feng, will definitely rush to the front. However, I don't like it when relatives and friends still have to pay attention to calculations."
When Dazhuang and the other man heard Jiang Feng's words, they nodded repeatedly, approving Jiang Feng.
Niu Sixi stopped being pretentious after hearing what Jiang Feng said and handed the box to Jiang Feng: "Senior..."
Jiang Feng immediately interrupted and said, "Uncle Si Xi, you should just call me Xiao Feng. It sounds more intimate this way."
The village chief nodded and said, "Xiao Feng, you understand the significance of this magic stone better than I do. We simply don't have the ability to possess it, so I'll give it to you. I hope you'll have the opportunity to help these children in Niu Village in the future. They are the last hope of the Niu family."
Jiang Feng took the box but didn't rush to open it. He had read about immortal stones. Immortal stones were essentially the currency used in the immortal realm, the equivalent of spirit stones in the mortal realm. They could be used to absorb immortal energy for cultivation, or to activate formations. They were very common in the immortal realm. Like spirit stones, immortal stones were graded into low, medium, high, and ultimate grades. Many clans and sects had their own mines of spirit stones.
Jiang Feng carefully put the box away, then raised his head, looked at Uncle Sixi with a firm gaze, and slowly said, "Uncle Sixi, don't worry, I promise you! From today on, this is the agreement between you and me."
After hearing Jiang Feng's words, the village chief finally let go of his worry. He felt relieved, as if the huge rock pressing on his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this time, Jiang Feng turned his head to look at Da Zhuang beside him. After a moment of thoughtful silence, he turned to the village chief again and said seriously: "Uncle Si Xi, I wonder if you have ever thought about this question - if a person shows weakness, others will really not bully him? Especially when the enemy comes to our door, will they let us go easily just because we are not cultivators? You must know that in this world of cultivation, the law of the jungle has always prevailed. Only by making yourself constantly stronger can you win the respect and awe of others. I firmly believe that a family like your Niu family must have its own unique cultivation method. As for where to go in the future, it depends on you to weigh and decide."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Feng reached into his arms and took out an exquisite jade bottle, two demon pills emitting a faint demonic aura, and several low-grade magic weapons that were gleaming with a faint light.
Jiang Feng then handed the item in his hand to the village chief and explained, "This contains 30 body-refining pills. For ordinary people, taking these pills can accelerate the body's perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, allowing them to enter the Qi Refining stage more quickly. As for these two demon pills, they can help Uncle Si Xi and may come in handy when you strive for the Foundation Establishment stage."
After explaining these things, Jiang Feng said no more and turned around and strode out of the house. Only the village chief, Da Zhuang and the other three were left standing there, staring at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The village chief looked at Jiang Feng's back and told Da Zhuang and the other two, "From today on, Jiang Feng is our Niu family's benefactor. No matter what happens, the Niu family's sons must die in front of Jiang Feng and are not allowed to hide behind him. Also, gather the young men in the village immediately. I will teach you the method of cultivation."
