Chapter 890 – Feng Family’s Secret Cave
”Which other Ningzhong could it be, naturally it’s the Guanning Feng Family, it’s not a small power in terms of the Guanning Province.” Feng Yue said without thinking.
”Guanningfu? Which state capital city is this.” Han Li’s eyes narrowed.
”It’s true that there are several capital cities called Guanning in the states of the Great Jin, but the Feng Family in Ning is the only one in Liaozhou’s Guanning Mansion.” Feng Yue glanced at him with a strange color on his face, seemingly somewhat alarmed by Han Li asking as carefully as he did.
Han Li, however, did not care at all and nodded his head, not asking about the Feng family again, but pointed to the jade pendant and said, “How did this object get, what is its origin?”
”This Lingxia Pei, is a Feng Clan token passed down to me by my father, why did you ask about this item?” Feng Yue was greatly surprised.
”Relic? Could it be that your Feng Family’s children have a top-ranked artifact token in their hands?” Han Li glanced obliquely at the youth and asked with some disbelief.
”Of course not. There are only three or four such tokens in the entire Feng Family, and it’s impossible for a non-direct lineage disciple to possess this item.” Feng Yue shook his head.
”So, you don’t have a low status in the Feng family.”
”I am the eldest son of the Feng family’s eldest house, and if there are no surprises, I was supposed to take over the Feng family in a few decades.” The corners of Feng Yue’s mouth twitched, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes as he said.
Hearing this, Han Li knew that it was just as expected, the other party had big trouble on their hands, and even this Feng family seemed to have something going on. Matters were not his own, Han Li did not ask about anything below, instead staring at the youth and asking the question he wanted to know the most.
”What is the relationship between your Feng family and the Great Jin Buddhist Sect? Don’t say that you don’t know anything, since the tokens are imbued with such a deep Buddhist aura, there must be some relationship.”
”The Buddhist Sect and our Feng Family do have some connection. The Feng family has an ancestor who used to be a lay disciple of Guanning’s Thousand Light Temple, which is a branch of the great Buddhist sect, the Golden Solomon. Our Feng family originally practiced Buddhist techniques, but since the Thousand Light Temple moved out of Liaozhou hundreds of years ago and returned to its original sect, our Feng family disciples switched to Confucian techniques.” Feng Yue first froze for a moment, but had nothing to hide about it and said very cheerfully.
Han Li heard this, but his heart was delighted. Although he didn’t know about the Thousand Light Temple, he had indeed heard of the Golden Luo Sect, which was one of the four major sects of the Buddhist Sect in the Great Jin. It seemed that what the Feng family used to cultivate was actually the most authentic Buddhist techniques.
”Do you know all of these Buddhist techniques.” Han Li continued to pursue.
”I don’t want to cultivate Buddhist Sect techniques, so how could I memorize them. But our Feng family, indeed, still keeps the cultivation methods of these techniques.” After hesitating for a moment, Feng Yue returned. At this time, he had already seen that the profound person in front of him seemed to be aiming at the Buddhist Sect’s gong methods, and he couldn’t help but feel secretly surprised in his heart.
To know the Buddha Sect technique to the late stage although the power is strange, but the cultivation speed of the slow and harsh, but the Great Jin Immortal Cultivation World is famous, willing to take the initiative to cultivate the Buddha Sect technique, is really not much.
”Han boy, you ask that ancestor of his clan, cultivated to what realm, whether it has cultivated the relics? Only those in the Buddhist Sect who have cultivated relics could possibly cultivate the method of eliminating baneful qi.” The Great Diffusion Godly Monarch, suddenly opened his mouth and reminded.
Regarding the rumors of the Sherri Sons, Han Li had long since learned something about them through the canonical texts before he came to the Great Jin.
Sharizi, a thing unique to those in the Buddhist Sect, some appeared at the JieDan stage, while others were cultivated at the YuanYing stage, and there didn’t seem to be any pattern to be found. To cultivators outside the Buddhist sect, it appears to be a very mysterious kind of thing.
But there is one thing for sure, is that many profound techniques in the Buddha’s door, divine power, must have relics before they can be cultivated and performed. Therefore, to cultivate the relics of the Buddhist sect, other sect cultivators even if the cultivation is far better than the other side, also have big scruples.
Han Li secretly nodded and calmly asked Feng Yue the same thing.
”A relic? In the past, that ancestor of mine did cultivate this item, and if it weren’t for his limited qualifications in other areas that prevented him from breaking through to the YuanYing realm, I’m afraid that my ancestor wouldn’t have been disheartened enough to start the Ningzhong Feng Clan.” Feng Yue sniffed and returned with a slight frown.
Han Li’s spirit was greatly energized, it seemed that luck was really good, perhaps there was no need to go deeper into the Great Jin to find the technique to lift the baleful energy.
Thinking of this, Han Li smiled faintly, and his expression eased, “Now I have one more query, just finish answering it.”
”What else do you want to know, just ask!” Feng Yue said with a forced smile.
”You’re just a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, why would this person use a strange poison like Bitter Poison against you. You have to know that in a certain way, the Ten Extreme Poisons can even be more valuable than some rare elixirs. It would be impossible for him to use this poison if he intended to capture you alive, but if he was bent on killing you, with his JieDan stage cultivation, it would seem even more unnecessary.” Han Li slowly asked the question hovering in his mind.
”So it is this matter. Fellow Daoist doesn’t know that this old Feng Pillow thief is actually a devilish path dispersed cultivator that our Feng family took in in previous years. Back then, he was hunted down because he had offended a high ranking person, and in order to save his life, he voluntarily gave our Feng family a servant and even changed his name. At that time, my grandfather was still alive, and the Feng family was still prosperous, so we were able to shelter this thief. And this thief previously came here to trade for the Feng family and some tribes of the Sudden Woods people, I came here, originally also wanted to find him. But I did not expect this thief secretly also joined the Kong family, only in the resident present to lead me here. As for the use of bitter poison, naturally, his body has long been under the Feng family’s unique secret techniques, as long as it is the Feng family foundation stage above the direct lineage of the clan, can cast a spell to prohibit his cultivation. If he hadn’t secretly attacked me with the Bitter Poison, how could I have been powerless to fight back.” Once Feng Yue heard Han Li mention this matter, his face couldn’t help but darken.
”So that’s how it is. It’s said that the Bitter Poison is invisible and colorless, and that the instant it gets on, it can cause cultivators with low cultivation levels to immediately go limp and fall into a coma. That Kong Family, it seems to be your Feng Family’s archenemy.” Han Li tilted his head and said somewhat indistinctly.
”Not bad. The Kong Family, along with the Zhang Family, the Jin Family, and our Feng Family, are considered the four major Immortal Cultivation Families of Guanning Province. Originally, they have always been well watered, but I didn’t expect that in recent years, our Feng family has just weakened a bit, and the Kong family has suddenly joined with the other two, and rushed our Feng family to make a secret move.” Feng Yue said here, a hideous color appeared on his face.
He, a great young man of a worldly family, had now fallen into exile in a foreign grassland, and was also victimized and killed, so he naturally hated all three families to the point of gnashing his teeth.
”I have no interest in knowing the rights and wrongs amongst your lineages, but I am more than satisfied with your answer, and now I can start with the matter of the Hao Yuan Dan. I don’t have much of this kind of elixir left, there are about ten or so left, which should allow you to delay for another ten days or so. But this kind of elixir, each one is worth thousands of spirit stones, can you really afford to buy it?” Han Li said indifferently.
”Thousands of spirit stones!” Even with some guesses in his mind, Feng Yue was still taken aback by the price, which was equivalent to the price of a top-ranked magic weapon.
”Okay, I’ll buy it.” Feng Yue agreed with gritted teeth.
”You have tens of thousands of spirit stones on you?” Han Li raised his eyebrows and sized up the youth for a few moments before saying with a smile on his face, he didn’t believe that the other party would be carrying so many spirit stones on him.
”I don’t have tens of thousands of spirit stones on me, but I’m using this Feng Clan Secret Cave Key as collateral.” Feng Yue yanked down the silver key on his neck and handed it over without the slightest hesitation, looking like he had already thought about it in secret.
”Feng Clan’s secret cave?” Han Li stared at this key without saying a word, without the intention of immediately receiving it, but he knew that the other party would take the initiative to explain.
”Not bad, this is the only magic weapon that opens our Feng Family’s secret cave that has been collected for over a thousand years. As the first lineage grandson of the Feng Family, on the day of the Feng Family’s shocking change, the family elders naturally allowed me to escape first with this key. Although I have never been there, the collection inside is definitely worth much more than tens of thousands of spirit stones.” Feng Yue calmly said.
”Take this item as collateral! How can I be sure of the authenticity of this key. Even if it is true, you handed it over to me, don’t you want the Feng family to rise again.” Han Li said without any expression on his face, making it impossible to see what was in his heart.
”Where is there any East Mountain to rise again! As far as I know, other than me, the other people from the Feng Family who escaped were just servants and outer disciples. Nowadays, I am the only direct disciple left. Otherwise, I would have gathered the rest of the clan and come to the grassland alone. If I die, the Feng family bloodline will be broken, and the secret cave will end up being cheaper for the Kong family, and they will eventually find it. In that case, it would naturally be better to let me save my life. If I can’t find a way to get rid of this poison in these ten days, the secret cave will be a gift to you, and it will be much better than falling into the hands of the Kong family. In addition, the Buddhist technique that Brother Cold most wants to obtain is likewise placed in the secret cave.” Feng Yue said with gloom on his face.
Han Li fell silent in contemplation, and only after a while did he calmly say, “Fine, you can exchange this key for the Spirit Pills. However, before that, I need you to cooperate with me for a bit, so that I can search your divine sense for the truth or falsehood about the key and the Buddhist Sect’s techniques. Otherwise don’t want this secret cave, and I don’t want to be teased for a while.”
”Soul search? Isn’t that a divine ability that only YuanYing cultivators know? How could you possibly know it!” Upon hearing this Feng Yue’s face turned a little white up, his eyes showing fear.
”Forcibly searching the soul naturally requires cultivation above the YuanYing stage, but if the person being cast cooperates, then there is no need for such trouble. Moreover, this secret technique of mine is very different from ordinary soul searching techniques, although Foundation Establishment stage cultivation is unable to explore complex things, it is still easy to determine the truth or falsehood of something from divine sense.” Han Li pursed his lips, then loosely revealed snow-white teeth with a cold light flashing on them.
Seeing Han Li with this expression, Feng Yue couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. As a disciple of a family, he naturally knew the horrors of soul searching, and under normal circumstances how would he be willing to agree to such a dangerous thing, but after looking down at his dark hands and thinking about the consequences of not agreeing, his heart was filled with a pang of helplessness.
”Good, I cooperate with you to cast spells. But you can only explore the secret cave and the Buddha Sect, you can’t touch other things, and I won’t let go of you.” Feng Yue clenched his lower fists, took a deep breath and resolutely said.
