BXBX NOVEL Chapter 208 - Miss Hong
Chapter 208: Miss Hong
Becoming mortal…
When the people in the ancient city heard Lin Jiufeng’s suggestion, they all started to look back at their humble beginnings.
Bai Tiandi actually learned to become a farmer. He opened up more than ten acres of farmland and faced the yellow soil with his back to the sky every day. The clothes he wore were no longer gorgeous.
His face turned yellow from the yellow soil.
But he had gained many insights throughout his journey of becoming mortal.
Bai Tiandi experienced things that he had never experienced before, like the joys of farming and working hard in the fields. All of these were unprecedented for him.
It wasn’t just Bai Tiandi.
The others also did the same and started their second professions in the ancient city.
Some people opened small restaurants specifically for lunch and dinner.
Some people opened a tailor shop and made clothes for everyone.
Some people raised many livestock—they sold or ate them themselves.
These people used to act lofty and arrogant. They wore gorgeous clothes made out of expensive fabric and materials, making people feel that they were indescribably noble.
But now, they all ‘became mortal’.
They dressed simply and started working at sunrise before resting at sunset.
If outsiders saw these, they would definitely not believe that these people were the world’s top powerhouses.
Lin Jiufeng was the same as them.
Other than defeating a person coming out from the Mountain Sea Realm every day, he spent the rest of his time living an ordinary life in the outskirts of the oasis’s ancient city.
For him, such days were bliss.
In the past few days, the sign-in rewards from the people that Lin Jiufeng defeated were all resources that could immensely help anyone in their cultivation.
But such items were completely useless to Lin Jiufeng.
He had just fused with the Divine Soul Fusang Tree, so he didn’t need these resources at all.
Thus, he gave all of them to the white cat.
In any case, the white cat needed a huge amount of spiritual energy to make a breakthrough.
For example, Lin Jiufeng signed in yesterday and received a divine source stone that weighed 50 kilograms. It was an extremely rare item that could only be found, not sough.
This thing required 10,000 years, or even tens of thousands of years, to be born in underground spirit veins that were abundant in spiritual energy.
500 grams of divine source stones was equivalent to three months of Lin Jiufeng’s absorption of this world’s spiritual energy.
Since what Lin Jiufeng received weighed 50 kilograms here, one could imagine how dense the spiritual energy it contained.
Despite all of that, he gave the stone to the white cat.
She didn’t stand on ceremony either and directly absorbed it.
But even after absorbing tremendous amounts of spiritual energy into her body, the white cat’s physical body didn’t seem to have changed.
She was still curled up in a ball, her eyes were still closed, immersed in her breakthrough.
Her aura might have become slightly deeper, but that was all.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the white cat and shook his head helplessly. “I always thought that you were just a wild cat, but from the looks of it, your background really isn’t that simple. I can see that the stronger your cultivation base is, your talent is only getting stronger.”
The white cat couldn’t answer Lin Jiufeng anymore.
She had fallen into a deep state of cultivation.
Lin Jiufeng looked at her gently.
He didn’t disturb her.
He closed the door of the house and walked out.
With a casual flick of his sword energy, he defeated the person who came out from the Mountain Sea Door today.
The person who came out this time was someone with a decent cultivation base at the Spirit Platform Realm, but his might wasn’t worth mentioning in front of Lin Jiufeng.
A casual sword energy defeated him.
Then he fell from the sky and was brought back to the ancient city by Old Man Luo, who had just finished the preparation of his restaurant for the morning.
[Defeated Liu Wenming. Received one Form Transformation Pill!]
These words appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.
“Form Transformation Pill?” Lin Jiufeng’s expression turned strange.
He looked at the white cat in the house.
For some reason, the image of a cat woman appeared in his mind.
Such a quiet and beautiful white cat with an immortal-like aura would definitely be very beautiful in her human form, right?
“No, no, no…”
Lin Jiufeng shook his head and hurriedly dispelled the images in his mind.
He took a deep breath and put away the Form Transformation Pill.
“Such a useless thing, I might as well throw it away! I mustn’t take it out in the future.”
Lin Jiufeng coldly spat in disdain.
What was so good about this Form Transformation Pill?
He already had a human form. What? Should he turn into a monster?
He kept the Form Transformation Pill in his clothes and close to his body.
In any case, there was no need for him to take out this useless pill.
…
The days passed simply like this.
Lin Jiufeng signed in every day.
If there was anything useful to the white cat, he would always give them to her.
If the white cat couldn’t use them, Lin Jiufeng would use them himself.
Lin Jiufeng’s speed of improvement never slowed down at all.
The third month passed quietly.
There were finally 100 people in the ancient city.
These 100 people lived on a single street.
As a result, the place seemed to be bustling in activity.
Lin Jiufeng would go over to have breakfast every morning.
He would even occasionally have lunch or dinner.
He interacted with the people in the ancient city of the oasis.
He didn’t snob them like a king to the commoners of his kingdom.
They were now starting to look at Lin Jiufeng in a new light.
In the past, they thought that Lin Jiufeng was difficult to get along with.
But now, they realized that other than his unfathomable cultivation base, Lin Jiufeng had a very insipid personality.
As long as they didn’t violate the rules that he set and didn’t attempt to leave the oasis, they remained relatively free.
They could do whatever they want.
They could go out of the city to fish or stroll around the plains.
When they were free, they could also go out for a picnic.
Considering this, they started to warm up to Lin Jiufeng.
They maintained a cordial relationship between them and him.
A few days ago, a party was held in the city.
Everyone participated and Lin Jiufeng was also invited.
He came to drink with everyone, chat, and talk about life.
The next day, they all suffered from the effects of a hangover.
They collectively scolded King Kaoshan because he was the one who provided the wine. The alcohol content of his wines was simply absurd. Moreover, they were strong wines that were specifically marketed for cultivators.
King Kaoshan opened a tavern in the ancient city that specializes in selling wine. He occasionally asked permission from Lin Jiufeng to temporarily let his clone leave the oasis to gather various medicinal herbs for brewing wine.
Lin Jiufeng allowed it.
As long as his true body remained in the oasis, it would be fine.
The neighbors got along very well.
Such a lifestyle was also beneficial to the newcomers.
It was easy for them to blend in.
Lin Jiufeng thought that he would have to sign in here for many years before someone from the outside world finally noticed the growing population here.
But a few days after the start of the third month, an old friend came.
Miss Hong!
She arrived at the oasis amidst the storm of yellow soil.
She was still as beautiful as ever…
Still as gorgeous as ever.
Dressed in red, with a beautiful face and a beautiful figure, she walked in front of Lin Jiufeng with a veil.
“Long time no see!” Miss Hong imitated Lin Jiufeng’s previous tone.
She took off her veil and smiled.
Lin Jiufeng looked at Miss Hong and nodded slightly.
She could be considered an old friend.
Although their relationship couldn’t be considered that good, they had known each other for many years after all.
Thus, there was this air of familiarity around both of them when they interacted.
“Why are you here?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“I brought the people from the Heavenly Dao Sect out and toured the outside world, so we could understand the current situation of this world. Since it’s all over, I came here to visit you. I wanted to see how you dealt with the Mountain Sea Door.”
Miss Hong looked at the Mountain Sea Door that stood in the center of the lake.
“Everything is going according to plan…”
“Didn’t I tell you that I won’t let them harm this world?” Lin Jiufeng calmly retorted.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect that you would actually be able to do it.”
“I haven’t heard anything from you during this period of time…”
“Naturally, I also never saw any overwhelmingly powerful powerhouse in the outside world.”
“You really managed to prevent those people from coming out.”
Miss Hong looked at Lin Jiufeng in admiration.
“You did not let any of them out of the Mountain Sea Realm?” Miss Hong asked.
“No, they are all in the ancient city, right there.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head and pointed.
Miss Hong looked in the direction that he was pointing.
The look on her face said it all.
Am I hallucinating?
Miss Hong felt that there was something wrong with her eyes.
She rubbed them clean and looked again.
Are those people the peerless experts from the Mountain Sea Realm?
