A few minutes later.
Qin Feng followed Lan Qin to a valley.
There is a waterfall directly in front of the valley, and a small lake not far away.
Lan Qin pointed to the small lake. "Huang Zhongli is on the island in the center of the lake, while the monster is at the bottom of the lake."
Qin Feng subconsciously released his divine sense to investigate, and sure enough, there was a fruit tree on the island in the center of the small lake.
He observed it carefully for a while and found it to be extremely similar to the Huangzhong plum tree in the memories of the Overlord Immortal Emperor.
Currently, nine green fruits have formed on the fruit tree, but they are not yet ripe.
If it is indeed a yellow plum, then it will turn golden yellow when ripe.
"It really does look like a Huangzhong plum!"
"However, they're not ripe yet, so picking them probably won't be of any use!"
"Besides, we don't know when it will be ready, so I suggest we forget about it!"
Lan Qin glanced at Qin Feng. "Since we're already here, we have to deal with that monster!"
"Then we'll stay here and wait; if things don't turn out well within three years, we'll leave!"
"Of course, you can leave if you're not interested in waiting!"
"When the Huangzhong plums ripen, I will give you three when I go back."
Qin Feng remained silent, his divine sense extending towards the bottom of the lake.
Sure enough, there was a bear-like monster at the bottom of the lake, with a strength of about the peak of the Golden Core realm.
It's just one step away from transforming.
With his peak Golden Core Realm strength, he should theoretically be no match for Lan Qin, yet this woman claims he's no match for demonic beasts.
"You fought that monster?"
Lan Qin shook her head. "No, I just felt that it was very strong, and I was no match for it."
Qin Feng was speechless. "Does it seem reliable?"
"I estimate that you can kill it by yourself, but you will only need to pay a small price."
Lan Qin blinked, somewhat incredulous. "Really?"
"You can try if you don't believe me!" Qin Feng said with a smile. "Don't worry, if you're no match for him, I'll come to your aid immediately."
"Let's forget about it and just do it together!"
Lan Qin pursed her lips; she didn't believe Qin Feng would joke about his own life.
"Heh, fine, you just stand aside and watch, I can kill the monster myself!"
Qin Feng didn't say much, he flashed to the edge of the lake and shouted, "You beast, come out and face your death!"
Lan Qin stared blankly at Qin Feng's back. Could this guy be stronger than me?
Or perhaps that monster wasn't as strong as I imagined?
A moment later, a huge black shadow, over ten meters tall, leaped out of the small lake and landed steadily in front of Qin Feng.
Without wasting words, Qin Feng took out the Dragon Cloud Sword, leaped up, and slashed down with the sword.
The monster was clearly caught off guard by Qin Feng's sudden attack and was cleaved in two by the Dragon Cloud Sword.
Qin Feng was stunned when he saw that he had succeeded in his attack. "Holy crap, this monster is too weak!"
Lan Qin was dumbfounded. She never expected that the demon beast she feared would be cleaved in two by Qin Feng with a single sword strike.
Although it was a sneak attack, Qin Feng's strength cannot be denied.
Once Qin Feng regained his senses, he immediately stepped forward to collect the demon core, and then leaped onto the island reef in the center of the lake.
Upon seeing this, Lan Qin immediately rushed to Qin Feng's side, somewhat worried that the man might suddenly pick all nine yellow plums.
Given Qin Feng's strength, she'll probably just have to suffer in silence.
Qin Feng stared at the nine yellow plums for a while, then said with some helplessness, "They are indeed yellow plums, but unfortunately they won't ripen anytime soon!"
"If you want to stay here and guard this place, then so be it!"
He estimates that the Huangzhongli plum will need at least several hundred years to mature.
Picking unripe Huangzhong plums is not very effective.
Lan Qin was taken aback when she saw Qin Feng turn and leave. "Will it take a long time?"
Qin Feng didn't turn around or stop, and replied directly, "I estimate it will take at least several hundred years!"
"However, if you can find spiritual liquid to accelerate ripening, as long as there is enough, it is possible for them to mature in a few months."
But how easy is it to find the elixir?
The spiritual energy must be concentrated to a certain degree to produce water droplets that are atomized.
Even the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm doesn't have a place like this, let alone this place.
Although Lan Qin didn't know what the spiritual liquid was, she guessed that it must be extremely rare.
She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to leave with Qin Feng.
Anyway, Huang Zhongli can't escape here. Let's come back and check on him in a while.
We left the valley.
Qin Feng stopped and looked at Lan Qin. "Why are you following me?"
“This place is full of unknowns, I think it's safer for us to be together.” Lan Qin glanced at Qin Feng. “If you don't want to, then dump me!”
"As long as you can't shake me off, I'll stay with you!"
"Are you out of your mind?" Qin Feng rolled his eyes. "Hey girl, you wouldn't happen to have a crush on me, would you?"
"If you really like me, tell me what you like about me? I'll definitely change it right away!"
Lan Qin glanced at Qin Feng, neither angry nor responding.
Qin Feng was speechless. This girl was actually quite cunning; you really couldn't tell from her appearance alone.
He ignored Lan Qin and started walking forward.
Everything in this world is unknown, so perhaps it wouldn't be bad to have Lan Qin by my side.
If they encounter a powerful enemy, this girl can still be of some help.
Lan Qin followed Qin Feng at a leisurely pace, neither getting too close nor too far away, maintaining a certain distance.
Half an hour later.
Qin Feng and his companion stopped at the outer edge of the swamp area.
Qin Feng's eyes flickered as he surveyed the swamp before him, many of which were filled with black mist.
Although they hadn't gotten close yet, Qin Feng could tell that the black mist contained highly toxic gas.
Lan Qin also noticed the problem, her brows furrowing slightly. "Do you have any poison-avoiding pills on you?"
"These poisonous gases appear to be highly toxic and could pose a threat to you and me."
Qin Feng nodded. "That's absolutely right!"
"But I don't have any poison-avoiding pills. If you have any, please give me one!"
"If you don't have the ingredients, I can make the antidote pill on the spot."
In fact, he has been immune to all poisons since he broke through to the Golden Core Realm. Although those poisonous gases are very potent, they cannot pose a threat to him.
He just didn't want to be too high-profile in front of Lan Qin.
"You can actually refine pills?"
Lan Qin glanced at Qin Feng with some surprise, then took out some spiritual herbs from her storage ring and handed them to Qin Feng.
"These are all I have. Can you see if you can refine a poison-avoiding pill?"
Qin Feng examined the spiritual herbs and shook his head. "These spiritual herbs are all for enhancing cultivation; they cannot be used to refine poison-avoidance pills!"
At this point, he handed the elixir to Lan Qin and then said, "How about this, you try to condense a protective shield with your true energy to cover your whole body."
"Perhaps it can withstand these poisonous gases?"
