Chapter 849: with translation of chapter title

However, when it sensed the intense dragon aura on Zi Yan, its attitude instantly made a 180‑degree turn, and the fierce glint in its eyes quickly subsided.

Then its massive head slowly leaned toward Zi Yan, like a pet, gently trying to please her.

Seeing this, Zi Yan also reached out and patted the huge head of the Sky‑piercing Jiao.

She then pointed at the Soul‑Infant Demon Tree on the lake's central island, indicating she wanted to take that thing.

Ying‑ying~

Seeing her intend to take the treasure it had guarded for years, the Sky‑piercing Jiao let out a reluctant whimper.

"This thing is needed by Lin Feng; I'm certainly going to take it, but seeing how pitiful you are, and since I have a trace of the Ancient Void Dragon's blood, this lady will give you some compensation."

Speaking so, Zi Yan lightly brushed her absorption ring, took out a jade bottle from it, and tossed it toward the Sky‑piercing Jiao.

At the same time, the girl added, "Inside is an Eighth Grade Two‑Color Pill; it's not top‑tier, but when you break through the eighth stage it should be of great help."

Upon hearing it was an Eighth Grade Pill that could aid his eighth‑stage breakthrough, the Sky‑piercing Jiao's huge eyes flashed with a human‑like delight, then it vigorously nodded its massive head.

Otherwise it would gradually wither and become completely useless.

Then he formed a void grip with his palm, condensed a Dou Qi short knife, slashed off a thick branch of the Soul‑Infant Demon Tree, and swiftly fashioned two rather rough wooden boxes from it.

After all, the Soul Infant Fruit is extremely peculiar and cannot be stored in any other vessel, jade included.

But all this time he had thought there was only one here.

"I never expected this tree to bear two Soul Infant Fruits!"

Although he had read the original work and knew the Relic of the Creator Saint contained Soul Infant Fruits.

Lin Feng smiled and gave a slight nod, then his figure shifted and he appeared on the small island hovering over the lake's center.

She then gestured to Lin Feng, indicating he should fetch the item.

At this moment his inner excitement was beyond description.

One must know, if this Soul Infant Fruit were used by those whose original soul Qi is intact, it could greatly amplify their spiritual power!

However, he thought such a treasure must be secured in his bag as quickly as possible.

Lin Feng forced down his emotions and continued to stare at the two fruit that looked like living beings.

And the only thing that could hold them was a branch of the Soul‑Infant Tree.

Then it opened its huge mouth, sucked the jade bottle into its belly, and with a shift of its massive body created a splash of water before happily diving back to the lake's depths.

Seeing the big fellow dispatched, Zi Yan's mouth curled into a faint smile.

She hadn't expected that now, upon looking, she'd find two, both top‑grade golden Soul Infant Fruits!

At this moment, only one thought echoed in his mind: "Two Soul Infant Fruits—this time I've hit the jackpot!"

After the wooden boxes were completed, Lin Feng carefully used his knife to cut through the dense branches of the tree.

Standing before the Soul‑Infant Demon Tree, Lin Feng finally noticed that within the branch that resembled a pregnant belly hung two fist‑sized golden fruits.

Gazing at the two golden fruits that looked like infants, Lin Feng's face instantly lit up with great delight.

He then cut off the branch holding the two Soul Infant Fruits along with some of the upper twigs.

Swoosh~

At the instant the branch was severed, the fruits on the Soul‑Infant Tree fell as well.

However, they were quickly caught by the swift‑handed Lin Feng, who used the wooden boxes he'd made from the branch.

Yet the moment he withdrew his arm, a faint fragrance instantly wafted out from the two Soul Infant Fruits.

It caused the soul at Lin Feng's brow to tremble, emitting waves of yearning.

Goo‑du~

Under the influence of this soul's yearning, Lin Feng looked at the golden fruits in the two boxes and couldn't help but swallow.

But recalling that people outside had already entered the relic, the place was unsuitable for lingering.

So he suppressed the yearning, firmly sealed the box lids, then flipped his palm and stored them inside his absorption ring.

Hoo~

Having collected the last treasure from the relic, Lin Feng finally exhaled, then looked at Zi Yan and said, "Let's call the others back now and leave this place quickly."

Eh?

Hearing they were leaving, Zi Yan froze for a moment, then hurried, "No, I haven't had my feast here yet!"

Facing the reluctant Zi Yan, Lin Feng bluntly refused, "No, the original soul fruit is still on you; if we don't leave now and run into other Heavenly Demon Phoenix people here later, what will we do?"

"Do you really expect them to calm down, reason with you, and let the Dragon‑Phoenix original fruit slip away right under our noses?"

"Uh, fine, I'll follow your lead."

Regarding Lin Feng's words, Zi Yan found no rebuttal and agreed to leave immediately.

Seeing the girl agree, Lin Feng immediately comforted her by patting her little head, smiling, "After I go out and sort this haul, I'll have Chen Er and Ying Er refine the unused herbs into pills for you, and those pills will surely taste far better than you chewing raw herbs here."

Having said that, he casually flicked out several spatial jade tablets and crushed them with Dou Qi.

As those spatial jade tablets shattered, several spatial rifts formed in the sky.

At the same time, Lin Feng contacted a nearby clone and summoned it.

Swoosh~

Since the girls were scavenging herbs in this herb forest not far from him, the moment he crushed the jade tablets, the girls and a horde of golden Heavenly Demon puppets swooped out from the rifts to this spot.

Of course, Cao Ying and Xin Lan, whose strength had not yet entered the Dou Zun Realm, were brought here by their teammate Dan Chen.

"Husband, are we leaving here now?"

Upon arriving, Cao Ying contentedly patted her absorption ring, a smile unmistakable on her porcelain‑like face.

From this, it was clear that during the time searching the herb forest she had made a very good haul.

"Indeed, people outside have already entered; we must take advantage of the chaos and leave."

Lin Feng nodded, then looked toward the clone arriving from afar and, with a casual gesture, drew it back into his body.

Then he caught the few space rings he had previously given to his clone and swiftly slipped them into his bosom.

Upon hearing that, the several women also nodded in agreement, then waved their hands and each collected their own Heavenly Demon Puppet.
