Is this a formation?
Through his divine sense, Li Feng discovered that there were formations inside the shield, and they were extremely sophisticated formations. At the instant his divine sense scanned them, these formations produced a faint fluctuation, and within that fluctuation there was vaguely an ancient and time worn aura. It felt somewhat similar to the animal hide he had previously obtained from Song Zhiyuan.
If he did not currently possess divine sense and some understanding of formations, he would probably not have been able to notice the abnormality of this shield.
Thinking about the secrets that might be hidden within the shield, Li Feng immediately felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
However, on the surface he remained calm. Song Zhiyuan might be his ally, but if there was an opportunity to squeeze him, he had to do it.
He pretended to casually play with the shield in his hands, while continuing to use his divine sense to scan it from every angle.
Li Feng had seen many formations, in Kunyang Town and in the underground city of the Ancient Martial Artists Association, but none of those formations gave him a feeling as profound as the one in this shield.
Could this be an ancient formation?
At this thought, Li Feng’s heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he felt more and more that the shield was not simple. Not to mention formations from the ancient era, even formations from the medieval era were mysterious and powerful existences in modern times.
What did this mean? It meant that this shield was not an ordinary shield.
Could it be…
Could this shield be a spiritual artifact?
When he thought of this, Li Feng’s heart began pounding violently once again.
He had personally experienced the power of spiritual artifacts. That day, if he had not used a spiritual artifact, he would never have been able to kill Old Qu, who was at half step innate level.
If this shield was a spiritual artifact, then it would truly be priceless.
Even if the shield was not a spiritual artifact, just the formations inside it alone made it extraordinarily valuable.
At this moment, Li Feng finally understood why Song Zhiyuan said the shield could withstand a full strength strike from someone at postnatal ninth level. This was probably because of the formations inside the shield.
A defensive formation.
In an instant, these four words appeared in Li Feng’s mind. Formations were divided into three major types, offensive formations, defensive formations, and auxiliary formations. Whether the shield contained an offensive formation was unknown, but it definitely contained at least a defensive formation.
Forcing himself to calm down, Li Feng raised his head and looked at Song Zhiyuan.
“Young Master Song, how many slots are you planning to exchange this shield for?”
“Three.” Song Zhiyuan held up three fingers.
Li Feng shook his head and handed the shield back to Song Zhiyuan.
“Young Master Feng, what do you mean by this?” Song Zhiyuan asked in confusion.
“Young Master Song, do you think this shield is worth three slots?” Li Feng knew in his heart that since Song Zhiyuan had taken out this shield, he probably did not understand its true value, so Li Feng wanted to obtain it at the lowest possible cost.
Even if the shield turned out to be unusable, he could still study the formations inside it, which would be of great help in improving his formation skills.
“Young Master Feng, this shield can withstand a full strength strike from postnatal ninth level,” Song Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.
“I can also withstand a full strength strike from postnatal ninth level. Do you think this shield is useful to me? In my view, this shield is not even as good as that piece of animal hide,” Li Feng said while shaking his head.
“Then how many slots do you think this shield is worth?” Song Zhiyuan asked.
“Originally, this shield could not even be exchanged for one slot. But for the sake of Young Master Song, I will exchange it for one slot. What do you think?” Li Feng thought for a moment and said.
“This…” Song Zhiyuan hesitated.
“If Young Master Song is unwilling, then forget it. I do not need this shield anyway. This is not ancient times, carrying a shield around everywhere,” Li Feng said.
“One is fine.” Song Zhiyuan clenched his teeth and said. Having one more person participate in the King of Boxing Tournament meant one more chance for him.
“Then it is a deal.” Li Feng took the shield. Exchanging one slot in the King of Boxing Tournament for a shield that might contain ancient formations was an enormous gain for him.
“Young Master Song, do you still need slots?” Li Feng asked in a deep voice.
Song Zhiyuan shook his head. He still had quite a few items in his possession, but those items had important uses and could not be taken out to exchange for tournament slots.
“In that case, Young Master Song now has five slots. I hope you arrange the candidates for the King of Boxing Tournament as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the timing is missed, I will not be responsible,” Li Feng said.
Song Zhiyuan nodded. Even without Li Feng saying this, he would pay attention to it.
“Also, if possible, the people you arrange should be at least postnatal ninth level. Otherwise, once they enter Dark Prison Island, they will just be sent to their deaths,” Li Feng reminded him. In the King of Boxing Tournament, it was a time when major forces clashed, and he needed allies. Song Zhiyuan was the best choice.
Song Zhiyuan’s eyes flashed, but he did not say much.
“I will pay attention to the candidates for the King of Boxing Tournament.”
Li Feng stopped at that point, then turned to look at Miao Xingyun.
“Young Master Miao, tomorrow I will sell the King of Boxing Tournament slots. At that time, there will definitely be people causing trouble, so I hope Young Master Miao can step in. I wonder if you are willing?”
“Yes.” After thinking about it, Miao Xingyun nodded. Paying this price in exchange for a tournament slot was worth it in his view.
“In that case, Young Master Miao, come to Tianya Pavilion at noon tomorrow to meet up with me,” Li Feng said.
Miao Xingyun nodded.
After that, Li Feng chatted with Song Zhiyuan and Miao Xingyun for a while, then left.
After Song Zhiyuan and the others left, Li Feng immediately summoned Mu Jiajia and said to her in a deep voice, “Mu Jiajia, immediately arrange for Eagle Eye personnel to comprehensively monitor Song Zhiyuan and Miao Xingyun. I need to know everything they do over the next few days.”
Mu Jiajia naturally knew about Li Feng’s transaction with Song Zhiyuan and the others. When she heard this, her expression changed slightly.
“Young Master Feng, are you worried they will betray you?”
“I do not know, but this is something we cannot fail to guard against,” Li Feng shook his head and said solemnly. “Whether it is Song Zhiyuan or Miao Xingyun, neither of them are our own people. At this time, I do not want any accidents.”
Mu Jiajia nodded gravely. People from major families always put interests first, and what Li Feng said was not impossible. Last time, the Situ family cooperated with Li Feng, but in the end they dealt him a fatal blow. If Li Feng had not sent her to monitor Cai Die, Li Feng might have paid a huge price.
“Young Master Feng, can I participate in the King of Boxing Tournament?” Mu Jiajia suddenly asked.
“ You?” Li Feng was startled, then looked at Mu Jiajia with a meaningful gaze and said, “Mu Jiajia, I do have slots for the King of Boxing Tournament. But what price are you going to pay to exchange for this slot?”
“Young Master Feng, I am your subordinate. Do I still need to exchange for it?” Mu Jiajia said with some dissatisfaction. “Besides, I am just a subordinate, I do not have anything valuable.”
“Who says you do not? You are the best treasure,” Li Feng said, his gaze falling on Mu Jiajia as he smiled meaningfully.
In an instant, Mu Jiajia’s face flushed red, especially when she felt Li Feng’s gaze. It made her feel as if she was standing naked in front of him.
Looking at Mu Jiajia, Li Feng could not help feeling stirred. Especially when he thought of the first time he saw Mu Jiajia, when she flirted and tried to seduce him, the memory was still vivid. Moreover, in recent days he had not been intimate with Xu Qing for a long time, and a surge of pent up desire had built up in his heart.
Thinking of this, the heat in Li Feng’s eyes intensified.
“Young Master Feng, I still have things to do. I will leave first,” Mu Jiajia could not bear Li Feng’s burning gaze and hurriedly fled.
“Mu Jiajia…” Li Feng watched her retreating figure, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Although Mu Jiajia was his subordinate, Li Feng had no scruples. As long as he liked her, it did not matter whether she was a subordinate or not.
“Big brother.” A sweet cry came. Li Feng turned his head and saw Li Xinyu.
“Xinyu, you missed big brother?” Li Feng smiled and said.
“Yes.” Li Xinyu nodded. She felt especially safe by Li Feng’s side.
“Li Feng.” Yuan Muyun walked out from behind Li Xinyu. Looking at Li Xinyu beside Li Feng, she gave a wry smile. “Xinyu treats you better than she treats me now. All these years, I have spoiled her for nothing.”
“Fourth Aunt is joking. Xinyu is my younger sister, but you are her mother. I believe this is only temporary,” Li Feng said with a smile.
“Yes, at least Xinyu is already much better now,” Yuan Muyun nodded. Although it had only been a few days, she could clearly feel the changes in Li Xinyu.
“Fourth Aunt, are you heading back now?” Li Feng asked, seeing Yuan Muyun holding some items.
“Yes, it is getting late. I should go back. Xinyu, I will leave her to you,” Yuan Muyun nodded.
“Alright. Xinyu, say goodbye to Fourth Aunt,” Li Feng said, turning to Li Xinyu.
“Goodbye, Mum,” Li Xinyu said to Yuan Muyun, then grabbed Li Feng’s hand and stopped talking.
Yuan Muyun smiled bitterly, waved to Li Feng, and left Tianya Pavilion.
Not far after leaving Tianya Pavilion, a car stopped near Yuan Muyun.
“Fourth Aunt, what a coincidence,” the car door opened and Li Wu got out.
“Li Wu, why are you here?” Yuan Muyun was startled and looked at Li Wu with some surprise.
“I am here specifically waiting for Fourth Aunt,” Li Wu said with a smile.
“Waiting for me?” Yuan Muyun looked puzzled. She looked at Li Wu, guessing his purpose in her heart. Although she did not interfere much with the Li family’s affairs, she still knew the general situation. She had a fairly good impression of Li Wu, especially since Li Wu had sought out Professor Steve for Li Xinyu. However, now Li Xinyu no longer needed Professor Steve.
“Yes. Today I invited Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt to dinner. Fourth Uncle has already agreed. Fourth Aunt, please come with me first,” Li Wu said. Deep in his eyes, a trace of strange cold laughter flashed.
