Dragon Jade.
Li Feng never expected that what Yan Dong took out was another piece of Dragon Jade. This was the third piece he had seen.
Legend said there were nine pieces of Dragon Jade, known as the Nine Dragon Jades. Gathering all nine would open the Door of a Thousand Mechanisms.
If this piece counted, then he now possessed one-third of the Nine Dragon Jades.
Could he possibly gather all nine and open the Door of a Thousand Mechanisms?
Li Feng shook his head. Gathering all nine Dragon Jades would require astonishing luck. He did not believe he had such good fortune.
The piece he already had came from Du Wen in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Hu Yuanyuan’s piece was passed down from her ancestors. Now this one, according to Yan Dong, came from an ancient tomb. The nine Dragon Jades were scattered across the world. Finding them all was easier said than done.
Even if he obtained the one on Dark Prison Island, he would only have four. Gathering all nine seemed impossible for who knew how long.
Still, although gathering all nine was unlikely, each Dragon Jade could gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth and assist in cultivation. Just this function alone made it extremely valuable to him.
At this thought, Li Feng glanced at Yan Dong with some hesitation.
He was determined to obtain this Dragon Jade. But if Yan Dong knew it was a Dragon Jade, it might cause big trouble later.
Should he kill to silence him?
After thinking it over, Li Feng shook his head. Killing to silence was not an option. If Yan Dong attacked him first, killing him would be no issue. But right now, to get the Dragon Jade, he could not bring himself to kill and silence him.
“Young Master Feng…”
Yan Dong looked at Li Feng anxiously. Seeing Li Feng hesitate, he worried Li Feng would refuse.
“Yan Dong, you want to trade this jade for a spot in the Boxing King Tournament?”
Li Feng asked in a deep voice.
“Yes, yes…”
Yan Dong nodded.
“Then do you know what kind of jade this is?”
Li Feng asked.
“I… I don’t know. But carrying this jade feels very comfortable, so I think it must be a precious treasure.”
Yan Dong quickly replied.
It seemed Yan Dong truly did not know this was a Dragon Jade, nor did he know its functions. Otherwise, he would not have acted this way.
“I can’t tell what kind of jade this is either. It…”
Before Li Feng could finish, Yan Dong interrupted, “Young Master Feng, Young Master Feng, I also have a hundred-year vermilion fruit here. I wonder if it combined with this jade can get me a spot?”
A hundred-year vermilion fruit?
A glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. Although the age was not very high, the vermilion fruit was an essential ingredient for the Innate Pill. If he could get it…
Thinking of this, Li Feng said, “For Lu Shuang’s sake, I can give you a spot.”
“Thank you, Young Master Feng. Thank you, Young Master Feng.”
Yan Dong was overjoyed.
“Very well. Give your contact details to Lu Shuang now. When the Boxing King Tournament begins, I will bring you in.”
Li Feng said to Yuan Yue and Yan Dong. Since he was selling spots, he naturally would not hand them invitation letters.
“This… alright.”
Yuan Yue and Yan Dong had no choice but to nod. Right now, they could only trust that Li Feng would not deceive them.
“Don’t worry. If I just wanted to trick you out of your treasures, I could have killed you both. Then everything on you would be mine. There would be no need for all this trouble.”
Li Feng saw their concern and smiled as he spoke.
Yuan Yue and Yan Dong gave awkward smiles.
“Yuan Yue, Yan Dong, after so many years, would I deceive you?”
Lu Shuang said from the side.
Yuan Yue and Yan Dong thought about it and realised he was right. They might not trust Li Feng, but they could trust Lu Shuang.
“Lu Shuang, are you also participating in the Boxing King Tournament?”
Yuan Yue asked.
“I…”
Lu Shuang glanced at Li Feng.
“Lu Shuang will not participate in the Boxing King Tournament.”
Li Feng said. For those going to the tournament, apart from Li Xinyu, he would not bring anyone. The fewer people, the better, as far as he was concerned.
“Oh.”
Yuan Yue and Yan Dong looked somewhat disappointed.
A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Yue and Yan Dong left.
“Young Master Feng, thank you so much…”
After the two left, Lu Shuang said to Li Feng. He felt that Li Feng had given them spots only because of him, especially Yan Dong. That hundred-year vermilion fruit and the jade were not worth much at all.
“No. If what they offered had no value, I would not have given them spots.”
Li Feng shook his head. In his eyes, whether the spiritual herb or the Dragon Jade, both were priceless treasures.
But Lu Shuang did not know this. The more Li Feng said so, the more he felt Li Feng had done it for his sake.
Li Feng glanced at Lu Shuang without explaining further. Instead, he looked towards a corner of the bamboo grove and said, “You’ve watched long enough. Shouldn’t you come out now?”
“What?”
Lu Shuang’s expression changed instantly. He had not expected someone to be secretly watching them. His face turned ashen as he looked in the direction Li Feng was staring.
“Don’t worry. It’s an old acquaintance.”
Li Feng’s gaze flickered. He sneered coldly and said, “Hua Jieyu, if you don’t come out now, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Clap, clap, clap…
Hua Jieyu walked out from a corner while applauding. As she walked, she said, “I never expected Young Master Feng to be an innate expert. And I never expected that you would be the one selling spots for the Boxing King Tournament.”
Hua Jieyu was shocked beyond words. After parting with Li Feng, she had secretly followed him. Until she figured out his identity and background, she felt she could not sleep peacefully.
But she never imagined that by following Li Feng, she would overhear such a huge secret. Li Feng was actually the one selling spots for the Boxing King Tournament.
She had come to Golden Buddha Temple this time precisely to obtain a spot to enter Dark Prison Island. Although she thought the person selling spots was an idiot, it was exactly her opportunity. She had already prepared to rob the invitation letter.
Hua Jieyu believed that with her skills, snatching one invitation letter would be easy. But she never expected that the one selling the spots would turn out to be Li Feng.
Li Feng had a mysterious background and mysterious strength. Without understanding his situation, she did not dare to rob him.
Moreover, with so many people at Golden Buddha Temple today, Li Feng still dared to openly sell spots. Such a person was either a fool or had complete confidence.
But what was Li Feng relying on? Was it Lu Shuang beside him?
Hua Jieyu shook her head inwardly. Although Lu Shuang had killed Pursuing Life Heavenly King, that did not mean Lu Shuang could handle everything. If Li Feng was not a fool, he would not have overlooked this.
Was it Li Feng himself?
Although Li Feng’s innate realm aura had only flashed for a moment, Hua Jieyu felt that even if Li Feng was an innate expert, he would not be overwhelmingly strong.
Could Li Feng have arranged other experts?
“Surprised? Should I feel honoured that I managed to surprise you, Hua Jieyu?”
Li Feng smiled. He did not mind that Hua Jieyu had followed him, because with his divine sense, he had already noticed her the moment she started tailing him.
“Don’t you think that if I shout right now, all the rogue cultivators in Golden Buddha Temple, no matter their cultivation level, will attack you and even take your life?”
Hua Jieyu said in a deep voice.
“Do you believe that before those people arrive, I could kill you first?”
Li Feng sneered. Threats? Was he, Li Feng, afraid of threats?
“Do you have the strength? Just relying on your gun skills?”
Hua Jieyu’s gaze turned cold.
“If you don’t believe me, you can try. My gun skills are quite impressive.”
Li Feng said.
“Do you really think I wouldn’t dare?”
Hua Jieyu said coldly.
“Hahaha, Hua Jieyu, oh Hua Jieyu. Your words might scare others, but they have no effect on me. You’ve followed me for so long. If you really wanted to do it, you would have done it already. Why wait until now?”
Li Feng sneered with disdain.
“You discovered me long ago?”
Hua Jieyu’s expression changed.
“What do you think?”
Li Feng countered.
Hua Jieyu felt a surge of horror inside. She had thought Li Feng had only just noticed her. She never expected that Li Feng had detected her the moment she started secretly following him.
She had great confidence in her tracking technique. But now, that confidence had been completely shattered by Li Feng.
“Hua Jieyu, just state your purpose. You’re not going to tell me you followed me because you’ve fallen for me, are you? Although I think I’m quite handsome and very charming, we’ve only met once. To make you fall for me and chase after me, I still can’t do that.”
Li Feng looked at Hua Jieyu and said seriously.
“Simple. I also want a spot in the Boxing King Tournament.”
Hua Jieyu said in a deep voice. She wanted to know Li Feng’s background, but right now, what mattered more was that she needed a spot for the Boxing King Tournament. Since the person selling the spots was Li Feng, and she was wary of his identity, her only option was to negotiate with him.
“You want a spot.”
Li Feng was not surprised. Earlier, when he told Yuan Yue and the others that he had spots for the Boxing King Tournament, he had sensed a strong emotional fluctuation from Hua Jieyu. So hearing her words now was within his expectations.
“That’s right. Can you give me one?”
Hua Jieyu nodded.
“Give it to you? That depends on what price you, Hua Jieyu, are willing to pay.”
Li Feng’s gaze flickered as he said seriously.
“Can’t you just give me one for free?”
Hua Jieyu looked at Li Feng and smiled charmingly.
Her smile was enchanting, like a hundred flowers blooming.
In that moment, Hua Jieyu’s smile seemed like a fairy descending to the mortal world. Li Feng stared in a daze. But he quickly snapped out of it. Looking at the smiling Hua Jieyu, he felt wary inside.
This woman was a seductress. A real seductress.
“What do you think?”
Hua Jieyu asked in a sweet, coy voice.
“Give it to you for free? It’s not impossible.”
Li Feng’s gaze fell on Hua Jieyu’s chest. “As long as you let me grab twice.”
