The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 320: The Legendary Spirit Stone

With a slight sigh, Lin Xue addressed Ling Feng’s question, "The Luo Family’s extraction of Mo Stone Mine, we’ve known about this for a long time, and obviously, we cannot just sit back and ignore it."

"What exactly is the Mo Stone Mine?"

Hearing her response, Ling Feng seemed to comprehend something and continued to ask.

Being of interest to the military indicated that this thing was truly extraordinary, and indeed, the fact that the Luo Family was mining it meant that they had already caught the attention of certain people!

Lin Xue glanced at him and saw that Mo Jiaolan and Chen Yuhe also wore faces full of curiosity, so she smiled and said, "Shall we talk about it when we get back?"

"Sounds good!"

Ling Feng nodded, thinking to himself there was no rush; sitting down and discussing it slowly when they got back was fine.

Upon reaching the doorstep of their home, they encountered villagers who had finished breakfast and were on their way to work at the expansion project of the breeding farm. People greeted Ling Feng one after another and were quite curious about the three girls by his side, naturally letting their gazes sweep over them.

Lin Xue and Chen Yuhe were fine with it, but Mo Jiaolan felt rather awkward, unable to help herself from hiding behind Ling Feng like a shy, new bride.

Seeing her like this, Ling Feng chuckled inwardly and quickly ushered her into the house.

After sitting down, Lin Xue cleared her throat, "It wasn’t appropriate to discuss this earlier, but now that you are my superior, I can tell you."

"That Mo Stone Mine, once refined, can be synthesized into something called a Spirit Stone, which is a treasure sought after by cultivators in this world. The value of a single ordinary Spirit Stone is even more precious than gold, so the Mo Stone Mine is very valuable!"

Ling Feng’s interest was piqued, "If an ordinary Spirit Stone is already that expensive, what about a superior Spirit Stone?"

Lin Xue was startled, "A superior Spirit Stone?"

"Yeah!" Ling Feng nodded.

"Cut it out, superior Spirit Stones are just things of legend. I’m afraid no one in this world has ever seen one, right?" Lin Xue said with a wry smile.

Ling Feng was speechless.

Who says they’ve never been seen? I have two in my possession!

However, he didn’t rush to show off his treasures and instead asked, "Alright, how did our branch know that someone was going to rob the Mo Stone Mine?"

"Well!"

A hint of pride crossed Lin Xue’s face before she pointed upward with a little hand, "We have high-tech methods at our disposal!"

"What do you mean? Airplane surveillance?" Ling Feng asked in astonishment.

"Even more advanced than that, satellites!" Lin Xue replied.

"Damn, that is advanced!" Ling Feng nearly stood up.

Lin Xue gave him a glance, "So now do you understand the preciousness of Spirit Stones?"

"I get it, but why are we keeping an eye on the Luo Family’s mining operation? If this thing is so valuable, wouldn’t it be better for the state to take control of it?" Ling Feng asked.

Lin Xue smiled, "That’s what you don’t know. The refinement of Spirit Stones is complex, and not just anyone can complete it. Besides, the Luo Family has a cooperation deal with the military, so their mining isn’t against the rules."

"I see! No wonder they give us a mission as soon as something happens," Ling Feng realized.

"Put it this way, today’s event was half mission, half an opportunity to test out your abilities in various areas. Didn’t expect Wang Cai to steal the spotlight though!" Lin Xue said with resignation.

"Testing? Does the higher-up actually doubt me?" Ling Feng asked, puzzled.

"It’s not a matter of distrust; they primarily want to understand your capabilities better. It just so happened that someone came to steal the Mo Stone Mine, a fortunate coincidence!"

Lin Xue smiled and added, "This is just my speculation, not the official word, ha!"

"Got it!"

Ling Feng nodded, "So what happens next? After all, quite a few people have died. How will things proceed?"

"They’ll probably increase security. The Mo Stone Mine can’t stop the excavation, and they won’t let anyone covet it!" Lin Xue said.

"Alright then, my task is considered complete. As for who exactly killed people and stole the ore, I presume I don’t need to investigate that, do I?" Ling Feng asked.

Lin Xue nodded, "No need, there are professionals handling that investigation."

"That’s good, I’m happy to have some leisure time!" Ling Feng smiled.

While they were talking, Du Song and He Bing returned and stood peering in at the doorway without coming in.

Seeing this, Ling Feng laughed and said, "Why stand at the door? Come in and sit!"

"You guys talk; I’ll take Yuhe to the back and look for Shiyun!"

The house was small and cramped with too many people inside, so Mo Jiaolan got up and said.

Ling Feng understood her intentions and nodded appreciatively, "Okay."

After the two women had left, Du Song and He Bing came in and sat down, looking around curiously.

"Are the bodies taken care of? Did you find anything?" Lin Xue asked.

Du Song shook his head, "No, there was nothing on them that could prove their identities, and the bodies were so mangled and bitten that you couldn’t even make out their faces."

"Alright then, let’s report to the leaders first!"

Lin Xue sighed softly, stood up, and said, "We’ll head back first. If there’s anything, we’ll contact you right away!"

"Understood!"

Ling Feng nodded and got ready to see the three out. However, Du Song and He Bing didn’t move but instead looked at him and asked, "Um, Colonel Ling, could we see the wolf and the two dogs from earlier?"

"Sure, but they might not be home."

Ling Feng smiled, called out at the back door, and got no response – obviously, the three rascals had gone off to the mountain again!

Seeing this, the two had no choice but to give up, although Du Song still couldn’t help asking, "Col. Ling, how did you train that wolf? It has such impressive skills!"

"That, well, it’s my secret!" Ling Feng chuckled.

Since Ling Feng wasn’t willing to share, Du Song didn’t press further and nodded, saying earnestly, "We underestimated you before. Now we realize why your rank and grade are higher than ours. From now on, we will definitely cooperate well with your work!"

Ling Feng laughed. He could tell they had been resentful of him, but since these young men were not petty, admitting their mistake to his face proved their magnanimity, so he replied with a smile, "We’re colleagues, so let’s skip the formalities. As the Director would say, we’re all working to keep the peace here!"

"Right, with the Colonel here, the work at our substation will surely progress very smoothly!" He Bing said.

Hearing such blatant flattery, Ling Feng could only respond with a laugh and left it at that.

After seeing off the three who drove away from Shiliu Village, Ling Feng took out his phone and called Zhang Lan.

"Hello?"

The voice on the other end sounded feeble, and Ling Feng was taken aback, "What’s wrong, Sister Lan? Are you sick?"

"No, just a bit dizzy and resting. Did you need something?" Zhang Lan asked.

Ling Feng was surprised and didn’t come straight to the point. Instead, he tentatively asked, "Nothing much, will you be coming over to the Mo Stone Mine area anytime soon?"

"No, that area is no longer under my control, it’s been handed over to Third Master," Zhang Lan said.

"Oh?"

At that, a jolt shot through Ling Feng’s mind, and he immediately asked, "When did this happen?"
