My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 725: The Way of Making Money

Through Bai Su’s ability, Qin Feng successfully sent the Farshore Flower back to the human world, but whether that Farshore Flower can really deal with the immortal and indestructible monster, he himself was not sure.

At the beckoning of the Ghost Lord, Qin Feng’s figure quickly retreated along the path he had come.

The Yellow Springs were still overflowing, and he looked back to see that the remaining few Farshore Flowers on the other shore were still emitting a strange glow.

The thick death energy was surging on the surface of the Yellow Springs, and the wailing cries of the souls had never ceased.

Qin Feng thought of what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had said, to save all the souls in the Yellow Springs, how easy could that be?

…

When Qin Feng landed back on the shore, everyone’s attention was drawn to the Farshore Flower in his hand.

The little loli was looking at the fading golden light around Qin Feng’s body with a thoughtful expression.

Meng Shuang glanced over and curiously asked, “Only one?”

“This Farshore Flower is too cold to hold in my hand, I originally wanted to pick more, but the limit was just two flowers.”

“I have already sent one back to the human world, and this one is what I promised the Ghost Lord.”

Saying this, Qin Feng handed over the Farshore Flower in his hand.

Meng Shuang instinctively reached out to receive it, but her palm directly passed through the flower, unable to touch it.

Qin Feng realized this as well. Earlier, the City God had mentioned that only the living could touch the Farshore Flower, and now he saw that it was indeed the case.

He pondered for a moment, then communicated with Bai Su within the Divine Sea. After a while, thin green lightning arcs began to emerge from his palm, enveloping the Farshore Flower layer by layer.

“Try again and see if you can hold it.”

Meng Shuang did as instructed, and to her delight, her palm no longer passed through the Farshore Flower, but was able to firmly grasp it.

“Master!” Meng Shuang turned her head excitedly.

The little loli slowly walked over and took the Farshore Flower. Looking up at Qin Feng, she said seriously, “I owe you a favor, feel free to ask if you have any requests.”

Qin Feng turned his gaze towards his distant father.

It’s a father who knows his son the best, Father Qin guessed Qin Feng’s thoughts with just a glance, and dismissively said, “Go, your father is one of the most powerful beings in the netherworld, so you don’t need to worry. ”

Qin Feng paid no attention. He had already lost his father once, how could he accept losing him again?

“I hope the Ghost Lord will take care of my father and save him when he is in danger.” Qin Feng said sincerely.

The little Loli glanced at Father Qin and nodded slightly: “Okay.”

After a pause, as if she thought of something, she reached into the void and took out a jet-black leaf with a jade-like texture.

“This is for you.”

Huh? Could this be some kind of treasure given by the bigshot?

Qin Feng’s expression brightened as he took the leaf in his hand and curiously asked, “What is this?”

“Although I don’t know what means you used to connect the living and Netherworld Realms, the fact is that you can bring things from the human world to the Netherworld Realm.”

“This leaf is imbued with my spiritual power. When you connect the human and Netherworld Realms in the future, as long as you hold this leaf, the spatial channel will appear near me.”

“I see…” Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then blurted out, “Is that it?”

The little loli replied indifferently, “That’s right. The tribute you brought this time is far from enough. After you return to the human world, remember to send tributes on time, understand?”

“Send tributes on time? But I have many things to deal with in the human world, I’m afraid…”

“This junior understands.” Qin Feng quickly changed the subject.

“Mm-hmm.” The little loli nodded in satisfaction, then withdrew the scythe manifested with Netherworld ghost qi.

Qin Feng gritted his teeth in anger. Are all the bigshots in the Netherworld Realm bandits, constantly using coercive tactics?

Both Meng Shuang and the Ghost Lord were like this!

Qin Feng really wanted to shout “Mighty cannot be bent”, but after comparing their respective strengths, he silently kept that thought to himself.

“I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Before I go, let me remind you that since you entered the Netherworld Realm with your spirit soul, you cannot stay here too long. Otherwise, even if you return to the human world, your physical body and spiritual soul may not be able to reintegrate.”

“Once you’ve completed your tasks, go back as soon as possible.”

Leaving these words, the Ghost Lord then vanished into thin air.

Qin Feng was left dumbfounded, for he had no idea how to return!

At this moment, a pure white light descended from the gloomy sky, shining down upon Qin Feng’s head.

Suddenly, a voice resounded in his mind: “Junior brother, the teacher has already used the Farshore Flower to eliminate that eerie existence. Now, as long as you immerse your spiritual soul in this light, you can return to the human world.”

It was his senior brother Bajie’s voice…Qin Feng’s expression brightened.

To prevent the light from disappearing and get stranded in the Netherworld Realm, he naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible. But at this moment, Meng Shuang approached and coquettishly said, “Brother Qin Feng, do you still have that immortal wine from before?”

Seeing this, Qin Feng’s expression stiffened. He knew without a doubt that this old lady was hopelessly intoxicated by the fragrance of the wine.

But now, he was in a race against time, where would he have the leisure to provide her with wine?

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard her say again, “This time, Elder Sister won’t take advantage of you, but is willing to trade item for item.”

As Meng Shuang spoke, she took out a dark green crystal, its surface simmering with dense Netherworld ghost qi, almost solidifying.

Nearby, when Ox Head and Horse Face saw it they immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva: “That’s…that’s Nether Crystal!”

“What is Nether Crystal?” Qin Feng asked curiously.

“Nether Crystal is the essence refined from concentrated Netherworld ghost qi. For us Netherworld Realm beings, to quickly advance our cultivation, we rely heavily on this item.”

“Don’t be fooled by its small size, brother. Nether Crystal is an extremely rare and precious thing. Even Ghost Generals would fight fiercely to snatch it away,” Meng Shuang explained with a smile.

Qin Feng took the Nether Crystal and felt the icy coldness as it touched his hand.

Although this item was useless to him and the Divine Martial Warrior, it was an invaluable treasure for the practitioners of the Hundred Ghosts Dao.

After all, even if the cracks of the Netherworld Realm opened, allowing Netherworld Qi to enter the human world, the Netherworld Qi available for the Hundred Ghosts Dao cultivators to train with was still scarce.

But if he could bring back the Nether Crystal, wouldn’t that allow the Hundred Ghosts Dao cultivators to rapidly improve their strength?

Thinking of this, Qin Feng didn’t hesitate and agreed to the trade. He then took out a few jars of Immortal Wine from his Spatial Ring and placed them before Meng Shuang.

Seeing this, the latter couldn’t help but beam with joy, then immediately opened a jar and drained it in one go.

The vitality accompanying the wine seeped into Meng Shuang’s body. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened, and a powerful aura uncontrollably surged through her entire being!

Her long-stagnant cultivation had unexpectedly advanced a level at this moment!

“How is this possible?”

In the cave, the observing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chuckled softly: “When yin is alone, it does not grow; when yang is alone, it does not give birth. This little benefactor may bring unexpected changes to the Netherworld Realm.”

On the other side, Tubo, Ox Head and Horse Face saw Meng Shuang’s strength increase after drinking the wine, and they both developed various thoughts.

The fragrance of the wine and the vitality it contained had already made them yearn for it, and now that it also had the miraculous effect of boosting cultivation, they naturally wanted to get their hands on it even more.

Tubo took the lead, approaching Qin Feng with a fawning smile: “I wonder if I could also exchange for some of that thing?”

“Me too!” Ox Head and Horse Face quickly rushed over.

Seeing this, Qin Feng raised his brows slightly. It seemed he had just discovered a way to make money…

At this moment, his Second Elder Brother’s voice sounded again, urging Qin Feng to set out soon.

Qin Feng asked, “Elder Brother Bajie*, how long can this guiding light be maintained?”

The serious Sun Qi replied, “With my and Senior’s abilities, it can be sustained for at most two incense sticks. Why do you ask? Have you been obstructed?”

“No, it’s just that I still have some matters to attend to. Could you two please hold out a little longer?”

“What matters?” Sun Qi asked curiously.

“Some business dealings,” Qin Feng answered.

Sun Qi: “???”
