Chapter 680: and translation of chapter title

Earth Core Jade Mother, it seems I wasn't mistaken after all; this thousand-year-old Huang Jing is exactly the one Xiao Yan fortuitously encountered in the original!

Lin Feng's gaze swept over that piece of snow-white jade, and he immediately exclaimed in great delight.

Earth Core Jade Mother is a miraculous jade stone formed only after countless years of concentrating a vast amount of rich earth energy.

Because the earth energy possesses that unique steadiness and heft, this Earth Core Jade Mother is, for cultivators, practically a treasure beyond price.

If one could have a seat cushion forged from Earth Core Jade Mother during a breakthrough or alchemy,

it can exert an exceptionally effective suppressive effect on the violent energy within one's body and the restless state of mind.

One could say that possessing this item would greatly increase the success rate of breakthroughs or alchemy.

And this effect is comparable to the Qing Lian Earth Core Fire Lotus Seat he obtained back then in the molten magma of the Tagor Great Desert.

However, if we truly compare them, unless that lotus seat has grown for over ten thousand years, this Earth Core Jade Mother is certainly superior!

"Hehe, with this, my chances of successfully refining a Bodhi Pill at the upcoming Pill Assembly finals will undoubtedly increase by another ten or twenty percent."

Lin Feng hehehed a smile, then extended his palm and placed it on the exposed portion of the Earth Core Jade Mother.

"Come out!"

Then he slightly bent his knees, gave a loud shout, and jerked his palm upward forcefully.

In an instant, dirt sprayed everywhere, and that Earth Core Jade Mother was directly pulled out of the ground by him, raw and forceful.

And after completely extracting the Earth Core Jade Mother, Lin Feng swept his gaze over it.

He found that this piece of Earth Core Jade Mother was about half a zhang tall and roughly the length of an arm.

"Looking at the size of this Earth Core Jade Mother, if it weren't for the Pill Realm being uninhabited and resources scarce, it would likely have required at least ten thousand years of gestation to form."

Gazing at the snow-white jade in his hand, Lin Feng exclaimed delightedly.

Such a massive Earth Core Jade Mother is extremely rare to find in the outside world.

If he took it to sell at the Xiao Dan Tower, he could likely fetch a terrifying price equivalent to that of an eighth-grade nine-colored pill!

After all, it is a treasure that can help an eighth-rank alchemist increase his alchemy success rate.

Even in the resource-rich Zhongzhou Continent, it is exceedingly rare.

Probably only occasional appearances at some very high-end auctions.

And while gripping that piece of Earth Core Jade Mother, Lin Feng also noticed that some viscous liquid had adhered to his palm.

"This Earth Core Jade Mother has indeed given birth to Earth Core Soul Marrow!"

Upon seeing the condition on his palm, the delight on his face deepened even further.

"Although the Earth Core Soul Marrow isn't of much help to me now, if I were to find some auxiliary medicinal ingredients in this Pill Realm, refine them into a liquid, and give it to either Xian Er or Chen Er, their soul power could be elevated to the mid Soul Realm."

Lin Feng shook the Earth Core Jade Mother in his hand, gazing at the faintly visible white, flowing substance inside, and instantly broke into a grin.

However, when speaking of the auxiliary medicinal ingredients needed to prepare the Earth Core Soul Marrow, Lin Feng thought of that little rascal Zi Yan again.

"That girl hasn't come to see me in so long; I don't know if she'll wander around this Pill Realm just like in the original."

Thinking of Zi Yan's mischievous appearance, Lin Feng involuntarily shook his head helplessly.

Because he possessed the spatial jade slip given by Hei Qing, he felt he could intimidate the eighth-rank ancient dragon bear within the Pill Realm.

Therefore, he had not summoned Hei Qing.

Afterwards, he realized the Earth Core Jade Mother in his hand wasn't properly placed, so he temporarily used Qing Lian Earth Core Fire to fire some empty jade bottles.

He crafted an oversized jade box and placed the Earth Core Jade Mother inside.

Then he carefully placed the jade box into his storage ring.

"Oh no, Xiao Yan has already left the range of my soul perception; I must hurry, or else I'll lose him."

After securing the Earth Core Jade Mother, Lin Feng sensed that Xiao Yan had vanished, and he inwardly muttered that it was not good.

Before his words even faded, his figure shot out, and he hurriedly pursued the direction where Xiao Yan had disappeared.

"Brother Xiao, how about we join forces to deal with Lin Feng together?"

In midair above a low mountain range, Song Qing suddenly blocked Xiao Yan's path and invited him.

He knew that relying solely on his strength as a five-star Dou Zong, he would certainly be unable to handle Lin Feng.

Therefore, he naturally turned his gaze toward Xiao Yan.

After all, as a disciple of the Elder of the Outer Tower of the Pill Tower, he had also heard his teacher say this.

The three major figures of the Pill Tower are all quite favorable toward Xiao Yan.

Moreover, Xiao Yan bears a deadly grudge against Lin Feng.

Inviting him would surely succeed in gathering a capable assistant!

"How can I believe you truly intend to deal with Lin Feng, or that you're a spy he planted beside me?"

Upon hearing the former's invitation, Xiao Yan did not immediately agree; instead, he eyed Song Qing warily and then spoke slowly.

After all, he had struggled out there for so long; he wasn't some greenhorn who would believe whatever others said.

"Brother Xiao, that bastard actually dared to fool around with my wife; I, Song Qing, stake my life on it—I will absolutely not forgive him, and I could never be his spy!"

Upon hearing that, Song Qing immediately gritted his teeth and said.

"Fooling around with your wife? When I was in the Pill Tower before, I never heard you got married!"

Upon hearing that Lin Feng was playing with a married woman, Xiao Yan's face instantly lit up with excitement, but thinking he had never heard that Song Qing before him had a wife, he asked in bewilderment.

"It's Cao Ying."

Song Qing clenched his teeth and exclaimed angrily: "Although we have no formal engagement, in my heart she is as my wife. That Lin Feng actually dared to hook up with Cao Ying—I will absolutely never let him off!"

"Such a sycophant, truly hopeless."

Although Xiao Yan repeatedly hit walls in his clashes with Lin Feng, his mind was still sharp; upon hearing those words, he quickly guessed the gist of the matter and inwardly scoffed.

But considering that the former is a personal disciple of the Elder of the Outer Tower of the Pill Tower, he might still be of some use when dealing with Lin Feng later on.

Thus, he also refrained from showing any look of contempt toward him.

Instead, he showed a hint of shared hatred for a common enemy, then angrily said: "That Lin Feng, I've long known he's no good; earlier he got me expelled from the Dan Tower, and now he even dares to have an unclear relationship with Brother Song's sweetheart. If so, Brother Song, let us join forces to exterminate that demon Lin Feng and together rid Zhongzhou Continent of this scourge!"

Upon hearing that, Song Qing was instantly overjoyed.

With Xiao Yan's help, his chance to successfully eliminate Lin Feng and win back Cao Ying is undoubtedly greatly increased!
