Extreme Almightiest Young Master
Chapter 2486 - 2465: Market Harvest
Chapter 2465 Market Harvest
The market square was indeed enormous. Lin Feng and his companions wandered for a long time and only covered a small part of it. However, they were all very happy because they managed to find a real treasure. This treasure was quite peculiar, hidden in a compartment of an ornate makeup box—it was a treasure map!
However, the treasure map wasn’t complete; it was just half of it. The location of the other half remained unknown, but the map’s unique material and the ancient aura it exuded allowed them to confidently determine that it was genuine!
Feeling lucky, they continued wandering through the market with heightened spirits, stopping by stall after stall. With Tangyuan’s keen eyes and Lin Feng’s meticulous senses, they encountered more curious items along the way.
There was a pair of pitch-black stone spheres, playable in one’s hand. They looked ordinary on the surface, yet neither Lin Feng nor Tangyuan could discern what was inside them!
Then there was a rusty longsword, seemingly fused to its scabbard, making it impossible to draw. Lin Feng didn’t notice it at first, but Tangyuan saw an inscription belonging to a mythical era’s great power on its hilt!
There were also some unusual gloves of unknown material, quite special indeed!
Ironically, the only ordinary purchase was an antique hairpin for Tao Tao, which turned out to be the most valuable item. As for any secrets hidden within the hairpin, that was naturally beyond anyone’s knowledge.
By the time they finished browsing the market square, it was already midnight. However, the entire perimeter was lit by Dharma Treasures that illuminated the square as if it were day. Although it wasn’t as bustling as daytime, a significant crowd was still present.
Leaving the square, the three of them glanced around and saw numerous inns surrounding it where they could rest. Picking one at random, they entered and retired for the night.
After entering their room and securing the door, Lin Feng casually set up an isolating formation before placing all their acquired items on the table.
First, Lin Feng opened up the makeup box and retrieved the half-map from its compartment, smiling as he remarked, "Not bad luck; this half-map shows the treasure’s location."
"But it’s only half, right?"
"Yeah, without the other half, there’s no way to pinpoint the location!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu immediately shared their opinions. Even though it was a treasure map, only having half of it, and not knowing what treasures were hidden, rendered the map seemingly useless!
Listening to them, Lin Feng chuckled and, holding the half-map, addressed Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu, "Things aren’t as simple as you think. The material of this treasure map is extraordinary—neither Tangyuan nor I have ever seen anything like it, indicating immense value. If the hidden treasure isn’t of extreme worth, would such exotic materials be used to draw the map?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu’s eyes widened in realization, understanding what Lin Feng meant...
"Additionally, there’s another point. This treasure map showed up in Ling City. While others might find it challenging to match the terrain to this half-map, do you think that’s a problem for me?" Lin Feng added, looking at Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu.
"My god!"
"Exactly right!"
With Lin Feng’s words, Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu immediately grasped his meaning. Lin Feng’s divine sense had expanded to a terrifying hundred thousand miles. Aligning the terrain with his divine sense would be a trivial task, and if this half-map corresponded to the surroundings of Ling City, then it would be straightforward to verify. Consequently, half a treasure map would effectively become a complete treasure map!
"You two idiots couldn’t even think of that!" Tangyuan shot a disdainful glance at Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu, questioning their wisdom.
Receiving Tangyuan’s scorn, Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu were at a loss for words. Looking at Tangyuan, they contemplated an attack, but before they could act, Lin Feng picked up the pair of pitch-black stone spheres, casually asking Tangyuan, "Any thoughts?"
"Simple—just smash them! After all, they only cost fifty yuan stones for the pair, so even if they break, it won’t be a loss!" Tangyuan promptly replied, its eyes fixated on the spheres, curious to discover what lay inside!
Reacting, Lin Feng immediately exerted force with one hand, intending to crush a sphere. However, to his surprise, even with all his strength, the stone sphere didn’t budge. This outcome instantly grabbed the attention of Tao Tao, Ma Biaohu, and the beast, their intuition telling them these were definitely valuable items!
After a brief consideration, Lin Feng quickly summoned the Fire Spirit Xiao Huo, instructing it to burn the stone spheres. The Eternal Divine Flame, having merged with multiple Heaven and Earth Strange Fires, was immensely powerful. Yet even this mighty flame required an hour to effect any change on the spheres, which remained black on the outside. However, the interior turned a vivid red, bizarrely resembling a living entity, pulsating with energy!
"Boss, don’t move!" Tangyuan suddenly exclaimed upon seeing this, then quickly spat out a book, rapidly flipping through its pages before exclaiming again, "These spheres might not be ordinary stone spheres but rather eggs of a Divine Bird called the Stone Origin Golden Crow from the mythical era, matching the description perfectly!"
"Stone Origin Golden Crow?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng and his companions froze in place. They were unfamiliar with the Stone Origin Golden Crow, looking to Tangyuan for further explanation.
"In the mythological era, the Stone Origin Golden Crow was a divine bird, believed to be untouchable and able to fly through rocks. It sought stone essence for sustenance, and legend has it that through devouring stone essence, the Stone Origin Golden Crow could refine a god-level refining material, Stone Origin Gold!"
Upon hearing Tangyuan say this, Lin Feng immediately dispelled Xiao Huo and commanded Xiao Huo to withdraw all heat energy. If these stone spheres really were Stone Origin Golden Crow eggs, finding a method to hatch them and nurturing these two Stone Origin Golden Crows could hold extraordinary significance in the future.
Without saying anything more, Lin Feng stored the pair of stone spheres in the Cave Heaven Mansion, awaiting a solution in the future.
Picking up the rusty longsword, Lin Feng turned his gaze to Tangyuan, indicating for Tangyuan to explain.
"I don’t know the origin of this longsword, but the hilt is engraved with the unique mark of the ancient great Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor. I suspect the sword’s origin is rather special, though why exactly, I do not know," Tangyuan said to Lin Feng, revealing all that he knew.
Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu were rendered speechless upon hearing Tangyuan. Merely due to a unique mark and speculation, Tangyuan believed it unusual. Just what was Tangyuan thinking?
Lin Feng suddenly recalled another aspect, asking Tangyuan, "How much do you know about the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor?"
"The records about the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor in books are scarce. This person was a martial fanatic, standing unrivaled with a sword to support the heavens, undefeated throughout life!" Tangyuan exclaimed, his eyes suddenly lighting up as he remembered another detail. He addressed Lin Feng, "By the way, a certain book mentions that the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor wasn’t a human but a demon beast in human form. Every time the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor wielded a sword, it carried the sound of a phoenix’s call..."
The sound of a phoenix’s call?
Lin Feng’s eyes brightened upon hearing this. Within him were three kinds of Innate True Fires from the Phoenix Clan. Thinking of this, he immediately separated the Fire of Heart Flame, Burning-Fame Fire, and Golden Flame, using these three flames to scorch the rusty sword!
Indeed, as these three flames enveloped the rusty sword, an intensely bright light emanated from it, the rust began to flake off. This sight made Lin Feng and the others’ eyes widen, but what surprised them more was that halfway through, the rust ceased to shed, no matter how the flames burned.
Faced with such a situation, they were all puzzled. What was happening here?
Lin Feng suddenly realized something, and after pondering briefly, began to call out in his mind.
"Auntie Jin Jin, can you hear me?"
"Boy, what’s the matter?"
"I need your help here?"
"I am in a Soul State now, not much I can do!"
"It’s like this..."
"Oh? Let me come out and take a look."
...
After a conversation, Jin Jin found herself intrigued by the sword Lin Feng mentioned. Emerging from Lin Feng’s body, she floated around the sword.
"This sword indeed belongs to my Phoenix Clan; the aura it exudes is extremely strong!"
Jin Jin commented softly, then reached out to the sword. As soon as her hand touched the sword, a brilliant golden light erupted from it, dispersing all the rust in an instant!
Seeing this, Lin Feng stepped forward, instantly drawing the sword from its sheath. In that moment, the blade turned crimson, burning fiercely like a flame, seemingly obscuring the actual blade!
"This sword should have been left by a senior of the Phoenix Clan. When you visit the ancestral land, it would be best to return it," Jin Jin suggested to Lin Feng, feeling the purest phoenix aura. Such an item shouldn’t remain in the outside world.
After saying this, Jin Jin appeared exhausted, saying nothing more, she floated back into Lin Feng’s body.
Lin Feng at that moment sheathed the sword again, pondering briefly before strapping the longsword to his back. His Destiny Sword was not suitable for display, and he lacked a Divine Weapon for open use—this sword would suffice for now, especially since it was a relic of the Phoenix Clan, probably only he could wield it.
Glancing at the remaining pair of gloves and the ancient hairpin on the table, Lin Feng smiled and bestowed the gloves to Ma Biaohu. Just as Ma Biaohu wondered what Lin Feng intended, Lin Feng’s Eternal Divine Flame appeared, forcibly melting the gloves and even burning Ma Biaohu’s hands severely. Amazingly, Ma Biaohu’s hands and the gloves fused into one...
