Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 363 - 359: Extracting Divine Marrow from Afar
Sun Yazhu sniffed and spoke with an embarrassed annoyance, "Where did you learn to speak so sarcastically? It sounds really awkward."
Yu Siya glanced at her with her long, fox-like eyes, clearly with a hint of concern, but in doing so, she appeared exceptionally charming.
Seeing Sun Yazhu seemed to be fine, Yu Siya pursed her lips, "Who else could it be? Those concubines around my mother, of course."
"Each one of them is unambitious, always busy being sarcastic and jealous all day long. It’s really boring to watch."
Sun Yazhu raised her eyebrows, "Just in time, my husband said he met some interesting people outside the Infinite Secret Realm. Come and listen."
Yu Siya laughed as she snuggled next to Xia Feng, wrapping the other half of his body in an embrace, "Oh? If I come, I won’t be interrupting the two of you, will I?"
Even Sun Yazhu couldn’t match her thick-skinned nature, and with a bit of embarrassment, she pinched the soft flesh at her waist.
"What, if I say you’re interrupting us, will you leave?"
Yu Siya spoke confidently, "That’s impossible. At worst, I’ll just put up with it and join you both~"
The three of them exchanged looks, a hint of ambiguity beginning to spread through the room.
In the end, no one seemed to care about who Xia Feng had found interesting.
Inside the Dream Realm Pearl, ten years had passed; outside, only ten days, and the aura around Xia Feng grew increasingly intense.
These days, he spent his nights in the Dream Realm Pearl cultivating with the girls while during the day, he absorbed the white Divine Crystals snapped off from the Divine Vein within the Infinite Secret Realm.
Although these white Divine Crystals weren’t as pure as those from the Purple Crystal Divine Vein, for some reason, within the Infinite Secret Realm, it seemed one could only absorb these crystals. Attempting to absorb Heaven and Earth Divine Power or external Divine Crystals would trigger some sort of disturbance.
He tried once before, causing disturbances across heaven and earth. Countless Divine Powers gathered as if some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were being born, which frightened Xia Feng into quickly stopping the absorption, ending the surrounding commotion.
Now the people of the Four Great Clans were closely watching him, and it wasn’t yet time to start a massacre. An opportunity beneficial to him had to be found first.
However, these ten days of cultivation weren’t entirely useless; now Xia Feng’s aura had reached the Profound Tier Ninth Layer Martial God Perfection Realm.
He could sense the barrier to break through to the Earth Tier standing before him, but couldn’t think of a way to overcome it all at once.
During these ten days, Xia Tianming also broke through to the Profound Tier Fourth Layer Martial God.
Upon exiting the Dream Realm Pearl, Xia Tianming spoke with a touch of sentiment, "I used to think I was something of a prodigy."
He shook his head, continued with some envy and pride, "But seeing you now makes me feel old."
"However, having you in the Xia Family is indeed a blessing for the Xia Family."
Xia Feng looked at him amusingly, "Those who know might say Grandpa is praising me here. Those who don’t might think Grandpa is being modest."
"Breaking through from a newcomer to the Martial God to the Profound Tier Fourth Layer Martial God within a year would leave anyone surprised."
Xia Tianming shook his head, not continuing on the topic, but instead turned with some confusion to look outside the cave.
"We’ve also been cultivating here for ten days, and according to Tang Yunqi, middle-grade Secret Treasures will start appearing today."
"So, it’s time to head out and explore a bit."
Xia Feng nodded, "Indeed, can’t leave without even seeing what a Secret Treasure looks like after coming this far."
"But there’s one more thing to do before leaving."
Xia Tianming turned to Xia Feng, a bit puzzled, unsure of what was still left to be done.
Then, with a slightly astonished look in his eyes, Xia Feng dove straight into the depths of the Divine Vein, searching for Divine Marrow while scavenging the Divine Crystals.
Xia Tianming looked on with amusement, "It’s hard to say who you take after, grabbing every usable thing along the way like this."
Xia Feng shrugged, "It’s not really taking after anyone, it’s just that the Great Xia lacks so much that I want to bring back any good things I see."
"Ah, found it."
Half his body merged into space, reaching into the Divine Vein from afar as if plucking the Divine Marrow from a distance.
In this Secret Realm, there were no other creatures. With the absence of interference from exotic beasts, it was more convenient than when he collected Divine Marrow from the Dongfang Clan’s Fourth Branch before.
As Xia Feng retrieved the Divine Marrow, he still had the mind to chat with Xia Tianming, "Without interference from those exotic beasts, the Divine Marrow here seems as helpless as a baby without any resistance."
"I was thinking before that selling the qualification wasn’t too bad, but if one truly has some good fortune, a single piece of Divine Marrow would be enough for someone destined to it to live a long life."
Xia Tianming chuckled, "You overestimate the Four Great Clans’ integrity. They probably control all the resources here, or close to it. It’s unlikely they’d let something like this out."
"Not to mention, after all these years, they probably know the exact locations of resource nodes. Even if a few new ones somehow escaped the Four Great Clans’ division, likely it’d still be too many monks and too little porridge."
"Even if someone managed to grab one, the people of the Four Great Clans would search them upon exiting. A few stray Divine Crystals might pass unnoticed, but a Divine Marrow? Offering it up might save one’s life." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
He glanced around, seeing no one, with a faint perplexity in his expression, "Tell me, you didn’t really take the Spirit Light Flying Boat to the outside, right?"
The words carried a teasing tone. Xia Feng looked at the Divine Marrow in his hand, which was unlike any he’d seen before. It was slightly whitish, and if anything, more of a transparent color.
He had some suspicions that the Divine Marrow produced in the Secret Realm might be similar to the one from the Purple Crystal Divine Vein, though considering the similarities between the Secret Realm and the Dream Realm Pearl, he thought of trying to see if this could be brought into the Dream Realm Pearl.
"This and..."
Before he could finish his words, the entire Divine Vein started to tremble, and Xia Feng looked somewhat shocked, "What’s happening? I used the Great Dao of Space to take the Divine Marrow from a distance, it shouldn’t damage the Divine Vein itself, nor should anyone notice the Divine Marrow’s disappearance. Why is this happening?"
Xia Tianming also appeared a bit surprised. This method had been figured out after they looted several Divine Veins of the Dongfang Clan’s Fourth Branch, and it almost never disturbed the exotic beasts within. The previous times they tried, it never failed before.
