Chapter 185

Just as Song Qingming's hands were about to touch the ball of flame, he suddenly felt a stinging scorching sensation from his hands, making him quickly retract his hands.

"This Fire Scale Fruit is really not an ordinary spirit object. Unexpectedly, the layer of flame covering the spirit fruit can actually hurt a Foundation Establishment cultivator." This also made Song Qingming say to himself with amazement.

A moment later, Song Qingming took out a red jade box from his storage bag and placed it directly under the ball of flame. Immediately after, there was an extra blue small knife in his hand, and he used magic power to slash directly toward the root of the ball of flame.

Only hearing a crisp sound of "dang", after a burst of sparks, the small knife in Song Qingming's hand was actually bounced away, and failed to take the Fire Scale Fruit down smoothly.

What level of spirit object is this? It can't even be cut by a magic tool. Looking at the still shaking ball of fire, Song Qingming was stunned on the spot at once.

After shaking his head, Song Qingming took out the second-tier magic tool Taoguang Sword on his body.

No matter what, he had already arrived here. It really didn't make sense to return empty-handed.

Injecting his own magic power into the Taoguang Sword in his hand, Song Qingming used ten percent of his magic power and slashed hard. The whole fireball also shook violently.

This thing is so hard and can't be touched directly by hand, so Song Qingming can only resort to this last resort.

Following a series of crisp sounds, after Song Qingming slashed more than ten times in a row, the fireball finally fell down and fell into the jade box he had prepared earlier.

Not long after, the ball of fire in the jade box slowly extinguished, revealing a red spirit fruit the size of an egg. The red spiritual light that had been shining in the air also slowly disappeared.

Song Qingming looked at the spirit fruit in the jade box, stepped forward carefully, covered the jade box, and put it into his storage bag.

After putting away the Fire Scale Fruit, Song Qingming calculated the time. There were still two hours before the time stipulated by Hearing Huo Feng, so he strolled around in this valley.

There were really too many spirit herbs in this Bailin Valley. Just taking out any spirit herb above the second tier, the value could exceed the sum of all spirit herbs planted in the spirit herb garden on the Song family's Mount Funiu. Since he had come, it would be a pity not to stroll around properly.

Two hours later, Song Qingming walked out of Bailin Valley with satisfaction.

At this time, a golden streak had just appeared in the sky, and the golden space crack coming to greet Song Qingming was slowly forming.

After the crack cut by Hearing Huo Feng stabilized, Song Qingming jumped out of the secret realm with confidence.

Just after landing on the ground, Song Qingming saw that Hearing Huo Feng, dressed in red, had already walked in front of him.

Looking at the fiery look in her eyes looking at his storage bag, Song Qingming only felt a bit of hair on his heart, and hurriedly took out the jade box containing the Fire Scale Fruit from the storage bag and handed it directly to her.

"Your Highness, see if this is what you want."

Hearing Huo Feng didn't say much, quickly took the jade box and opened it to look.

Afterward, a satisfied smile appeared on her somewhat childish face, and she kept looking at the Fire Scale Fruit in her hand happily.

Since knowing this woman, Song Qingming had never seen her look so happy, and couldn't help but look a bit distracted.

To tell the truth, Hearing Huo Feng's cold personality in the past, combined with her beautiful appearance, gave people a feeling of being very far away.

Now seeing her suddenly show the appearance that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl should have, it made people let down their guard against her at once, as if the red-clothed woman in front of her was an ordinary human girl.

Long Feng on the side, seeing that Song Qingming really brought back the Fire Scale Fruit, was also very surprised and couldn't help but look at him twice, thinking secretly in his heart:

"It seems that Her Highness was right. This kid really has something. Only the second time entering the secret realm, he successfully brought back the spirit object that so many powerful demonic kings had returned empty-handed from several times in the past."

Song Qingming saw Hearing Huo Feng so happy and gradually relaxed in his heart, wanting to wait for their return trip on the side.

Just after taking a step, a familiar cold voice behind him reached his ears again.

"This time on your body, you seem to have brought out quite a few spirit herbs. Take them all out and let me see first!"

Upon hearing this voice, Song Qingming's face instantly turned ugly, and he thought secretly: "Sigh! What kind of demonic beast is this guy? Why is her nose so sensitive?"

Song Qingming then reluctantly took out more than a dozen spirit herbs from his storage bag. These spirit herbs were all above the second tier in quality, and two of them were already third-tier spirit herbs. They were all carefully selected by Song Qingming from Bailin Valley and were mature spirit herbs that were relatively useful to him.

Although there were spirit herbs all over the mountains and plains in Bailin Valley, most of them were low-tier and of little use to Song Qingming. The remaining spirit herbs above the second tier, although there were hundreds of them, most of them were of little use to Song Qingming's cultivation improvement. Some he couldn't even recognize the names of, so naturally, he wouldn't move them randomly. The remaining useful and mature ones were all brought out by Song Qingming at once.

The reason why he only brought more than a dozen spirit herbs out was partly because he was afraid that if he brought too many out, it would be easily discovered by the two demonic kings outside. After all, once such spirit objects fall into the hands of these high-tier cultivators, it is naturally difficult for them to share them with him.

Although demonic beasts swallow spirit herbs directly and will not make the best use of them like human cultivators, a third-tier spirit herb is somewhat helpful for their cultivation growth. There is no reason to give it to others.

Secondly, Song Qingming also kept a mind. He thought that if Hearing Huo Feng suddenly regretted not letting him go back after getting the Fire Scale Fruit, he could use the spirit herbs inside to fight for some value of being used, so he wouldn't be slapped to death by them immediately.

"Good kid, really amazing. Where did you find so many spirit herbs in the secret realm?" Long Feng on the side had a more direct personality. It couldn't see what Song Qingming's thoughts were at the moment, and after seeing the spirit herbs, it instinctively stepped forward and praised a few words.

Song Qingming smiled awkwardly and said: "Senior Long Feng, don't misunderstand. These are actually brought out from Bailin Valley. There are still many spirit herbs in there. Some I don't recognize the names of and are not mature, so I really didn't dare to pick them randomly, so I only brought this many."

Hearing Huo Feng squinted and looked at Song Qingming, but didn't say much. She took the happy Long Feng and stepped forward to check the spirit herbs Song Qingming brought out. Afterward, the two picked and chose seven or eight of them and left about half of the spirit herbs for Song Qingming.

This made Song Qingming a bit surprised. Unexpectedly, Hearing Huo Feng not only didn't blame him for not taking them out at first, but actually left him so many spirit objects. If he had known, he would have brought more spirit herbs out in the secret realm just now.
