Qin Ming's mind went blank for a moment.
"What?!"
"Several Fellow Daoists actually all Fallen?"
"What about Fellow Daoist Lin then?"
In Qin Ming's heart, a storm suddenly raged.
It should be known that among these people, apart from Brothers Feng who were at Qi Condensation Stage Eighth Level, the other three were all at Perfected Qi Condensation Stage.
Even so.
With such a lineup, surprisingly only Feng Yuan survived.
"Alas, it's shameful to say, if it wasn't that when we were escaping at the end, I was with Fellow Daoist Lin Zixiao, and used his Formation to cover our retreat, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back either…"
"As for Fellow Daoist Lin, when I escaped, I only saw him besieged by several Cultivators at Qi Condensation Perfection, I'm afraid his fate is mostly ominous." Feng Yuan sighed, and said faintly.
As soon as his voice fell.
Feng Yuan's complexion suddenly flushed, and a trace of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, he revealed a pained expression, covered his chest, and gasped violently.
Qin Ming clearly saw, a murky death energy flashed through the other party's pupils.
When Qin Ming saw this, he hurriedly took out a healing Pills, preparing to give it to him.
"Cough! Cough!"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, no need to waste Pills, I have suffered a fatal heavy injury, now my entire Meridians are broken, Sea of Qi Elixir Field destroyed, no matter how many healing Spirit Pill, it is already beyond help." Feng Yuan coughed out a mouthful of black blood, and stretched out his hand to stop Qin Ming's movements.
"Feng knows very well, that he is a dying man, now he is only relying on Immovable Snow Pill, forcibly maintaining a breath."
Qin Ming looked at Feng Yuan with a complicated expression, although his Connections with him were just ordinary, but as neighbors who had been together for many years.
Brothers Feng's straightforward personalities, still gave him a good impression.
"Besieged by people?"
"Could it be that several Fellow Daoists, didn't go to the Ruins to seek Foundation Establishment Opportunity?" Qin Ming frowned, and asked doubtfully.
Feng Yuan raised his hand to wipe away the black blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at Qin Ming, and then explained: "The Ruins, we naturally went, but we few people only entered the Outer Perimeter of the Ruins, even so, we still harvested Foundation Establishment Spirit Item, Celestial Fire Spirit Liquid."
"In addition to this, there were other not small harvests."
"But just when we were preparing to leave, many Sect Cultivators suddenly popped out halfway, ambushing and attacking us."
"Among these people, Cultivators from Hundred Flowers Sect and Shennong Sect were the majority, there were also Cultivators from Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley, the items we obtained from the Ruins, were all snatched away by these Sect people."
"A busy life, just making wedding clothes for others."
"My younger brother and several Fellow Daoists, also died in their hands." When Feng Yuan said this, his eyes were full of hatred.
Qin Ming heard this, and as expected, it was just as he had expected.
These Sects, openly spread the news of the Ancient Ruins, and then let out information that there were Foundation Establishment Resources inside.
Their purpose was to lure Loose Cultivator to go, to act as cannon fodder for exploring the way, even if they were lucky enough to obtain benefits from it, they would absolutely not escape the Sect's control.
"Alas! Fellow Daoist Feng, please restrain your grief." Qin Ming didn't know how to comfort the other party either.
For a time.
The two were silent, and the atmosphere solidified.
Feng Yuan hesitated for a long time, and seemed to have made some kind of determination.
Then he suddenly raised his head, stared at Qin Ming, and said seriously: "Fellow Daoist Qin, I have a Trade I want to do with you, I wonder if you are willing?"
"Oh? What Trade is it?" Qin Ming was taken aback by his question, and couldn't help but be surprised.
He only saw Feng Yuan, take out a Jade Bottle, a dragon-shaped Token, and a tattered Map from his Storage Bag, and placed them on the table.
Then he slowly opened his mouth and said: "This is our biggest trophy from this trip, the Jade Bottle inside is Foundation Establishment Spirit Item, Celestial Fire Spirit Liquid."
"However, this Spirit Liquid was discovered by me alone, and secretly hidden away, even my younger brother did not know about it."
"As for this Token and Map, they were discovered by the five of us together in a cave in the Outer Perimeter of the Ruins, on an ancient corpse, it should be greatly related to entering the Ruins." When Qin Ming heard that the item in front of him, was the legendary Foundation Establishment Spirit Item 'Celestial Fire Spirit Liquid', his heart thumped wildly.
His Dao Heart couldn't help but begin to waver.
When Cultivator are breaking through to Foundation Establishment Stage, in addition to taking Foundation Establishment Pill, supplemented by Foundation Establishment Spirit Item 'Celestial Fire Spirit Liquid', it can increase the success rate by another twenty percent.
For a major Realm Breakthrough, twenty percent probability, is already a considerably high improvement.
"These three treasures, I can give to Fellow Daoist Qin, but in exchange, Fellow Daoist Qin must agree to two conditions of Feng." Feng Yuan said with a solemn expression.
"First, if Fellow Daoist has the opportunity to reach Foundation Establishment in the future, help me kill a Core Disciple of those Sects, to avenge us!"
"Second, Brothers Feng and I have no relatives or reasons in the Cultivation World, only in a Secular Mortal Realm in Wei Kingdom, there is still a Bloodline of descendants left, if Fellow Daoist has the opportunity in the future, within your ability, help me take care of them."
Qin Ming frowned into a furrow.
Even though he was extremely tempted by this Celestial Fire Spirit Liquid, the other party's condition, was actually to let himself take revenge, and the target of revenge was still against several Sects.
He pondered for a while, and immediately declined: "Fellow Daoist Feng, the first condition, I'm afraid I cannot agree, I am just a Spirit Plant Master, with low Strength, I dare not make a move to become enemies with several Sects."
"The second condition, if there is really an opportunity, Qin might be able to agree to it."
"As for, that Token and Ruins Map… Qin is also unable to accept them."
Qin Ming saw at a glance, that the dragon-shaped Token and tattered Map were definitely hot potatoes.
He didn't know how many people outside were looking for this thing.
He didn't want to cause trouble for himself, and become the target of public criticism.
Feng Yuan heard Qin Ming's reply, and disappointment was revealed on his face.
But he also had no way, with Qin Ming's cautious personality, such an attitude was instead within reason.
He struggled and hesitated for a long time, and gritted his teeth: "Alright! Then it will be as Fellow Daoist said, I hope Fellow Daoist will not break your promise."
After saying that, Feng Yuan put away the dragon-shaped Token and tattered Map.
Then he gently pushed the bottle of Foundation Establishment Spirit Item 'Celestial Fire Spirit Liquid', in front of Qin Ming.
Qin Ming's eyes were fiery, he picked up the Jade Bottle, opened the bottle cap, and swept his Divine Sense inside.
He only saw inside, there was half a bottle of flame-like Spirit Liquid, emitting an astonishing Spirit Aura, it was very magical.
"It's really Celestial Fire Spirit Liquid!" Qin Ming was overjoyed, and tightly closed it, silently putting it into his Storage Bag.
Then again, he accepted this Spirit Liquid with a clear conscience, after all, Spirit Feather Sect's Core Disciple Jiang Kun, was killed by his own hands.
Feng Yuan took out a Handwritten Letter, and a Jade Pendant Keepsake, and after handing them to Qin Ming, he gave a few words of instructions.
Afterwards.
The conversation between the two ended.
"Alright, Feng should also say goodbye, Fellow Daoist Qin, no need to see me off." Feng Yuan greeted Qin Ming, and got up to leave.
Qin Ming watched Feng Yuan's staggering back, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings, there was a kind of inexplicable feeling of sorrow for his own kind.
Back then, Brothers Feng were also considered big figures in Qingyang Market City, but they had fallen into such a state.
When Feng Yuan was about to go out.
He suddenly turned his head, revealing a very forced smile, and mocked himself at Qin Ming: "I know that my days are numbered, this time I leave, I'm afraid I will just find an Auspicious Burial Place to wait for death, that Token and Ruins Map if there are no accidents, will also be buried with me, if Fellow Daoist Qin one day figures it out, you can also come and retrieve them."
After he said that, he told Qin Ming a location in a low voice.
Immediately, Feng Yuan didn't stay any longer, and left Qingyang Market City.
Qin Ming watched Feng Yuan walk far away, and said with a wry smile:
"It's fine if you go to find an Auspicious Burial Place to rest in peace, why did you have to tell me?!"
