Chapter 299: Making a Deal
Seeing that Song Qingming wanted the Golden Thunder Fruit, Long Feng, who had always been indifferent to him, became interested again, turned around, and stared at Song Qingming with interest for a few times.
"Junior obtained an elixir recipe a few years ago, which just happened to need this spiritual fruit. I searched for a long time but couldn't get it, so I had to come to Fire Phoenix's place to try my luck, thinking that you have many spiritual medicines here, maybe you will have..."
Before Song Qingming finished speaking, Long Feng, who was already a bit impatient, directly interrupted him. "Kid! Although I don't know much about your human alchemy, I know you didn't come for any broken elixir recipe this time. Are you still not planning to tell the truth?"
"Hehe! I hope Senior won't be angry. Junior didn't intend to deceive you, this matter is really not easy to say directly!" After speaking, Song Qingming took the initiative to untie the spirit beast bag on his waist and sent it to Long Feng.
He thought he could use an excuse to muddle through, but it seemed that Long Feng had long sensed the breath of the Skyfire Roc in his spirit beast bag. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Song Qingming could only bite the bullet and hand over the spirit beast bag.
The reason Song Qingming didn't dare to directly say his purpose for coming here was mainly because he was afraid that Long Feng, this demon king, would know that he was keeping his clansmen in captivity and would turn his face on the spot, directly venting his anger on him.
"Hmph! It's just raising a little guy without spiritual wisdom. In our demonic tribe's holy land, there are also human slaves. This is not a big deal. You don't have to be afraid that I will go to you for trouble for this!"
Song Qingming smiled and didn't speak.
"Since you want to make a deal with me, then hand this little guy to me! Come back in half a year, and I can guarantee that it will definitely advance successfully." After Long Feng looked at the Skyfire Roc in the spirit beast bag carefully, he suddenly took the matter directly.
Hearing Long Feng say this, Song Qingming was also somewhat unexpected.
"I don't know what Senior's requirements are. You just say it, as long as Junior can do it, I will do my best."
Long Feng chuckled and said: "No hurry, I haven't thought about what you need to do yet. You can keep it in mind first. When I need you in the future, I will inform you. It is estimated that when you see me again, you will know."
"This..."
"Why! You are not very willing?" Long Feng looked at Song Qingming with squinted eyes, somewhat puzzled.
"Willing, willing, Senior don't misunderstand!" Having someone willing to help the Skyfire Roc advance like this could be considered a great thing for Song Qingming. Who wouldn't be willing? Song Qingming was just a bit excited just now and spoke incoherently.
Watching Long Feng leave here with the Skyfire Roc, Song Qingming slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had dealt with Fire Phoenix several times, facing this kind of Golden Core-level demon king, Song Qingming still often felt an invisible pressure on his face.
In the final analysis, it was just that he was not strong enough. If the Long Feng he faced just now was a demonic beast in the Foundation Establishment realm, Song Qingming would absolutely not be so passive.
Compared to Long Feng's Golden Core-level combat power, his Foundation Establishment cultivation was really too far apart. If the other party moved their hands casually, he wouldn't have a chance to run even if he wanted to.
This instinct carved into his bones also reminded him at all times that facing this kind of opponent whose strength far exceeded his own, even if the other party didn't have any unfavorable thoughts toward him for the time being, he should always remain cautious and prudent, so as not to be carried away by success and accidentally offend the other party, bringing about an unexpected disaster.
After knowing about the Golden Thunder Fruit at Ma Boshan's place, Song Qingming was helpless for a while. He thought that since he was powerless, he could only look at the Skyfire Roc's own luck. Anyway, demonic beasts are different from the human race, their lifespan is relatively sufficient. Even if this guy can't advance successfully now, there will still be opportunities in the future.
Until half a month later, when Song Qingming was organizing his storage bag, he suddenly flipped to the five-colored feather given to him by Fire Phoenix, which made him have a sudden inspiration to come and ask them about the Golden Thunder Fruit.
The Skyfire Roc can also be considered a demonic beast of the feather tribe, and its bloodline is very close to Long Feng and Qingluan. Logically, they should have a very high probability of finding the Golden Thunder Fruit there.
It's just that it was hard to escape from Fire Phoenix and the others back then, and he took the initiative to send himself to the door again. Would it be walking into a trap? Although Fire Phoenix has the ability to find trouble with him at any time, it is always reassuring to stay in the human territory of Qinghe County.
After thinking about it in the cave dwelling for a few days, Song Qingming finally changed his mind and came to the depths of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range alone. Unexpectedly, he didn't see Fire Phoenix this time.
Fortunately, Long Feng had just agreed to the matter of the Skyfire Roc advancing, which made Song Qingming inadvertently complete the purpose of this trip. Although Song Qingming had already owed him a favor to his face, as long as he could let the Skyfire Roc advance smoothly, these were all worth it to him.
Anyway, he is just a small Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his ability is already there. If Long Feng really puts forward any outrageous requirements, he can also use his insufficient ability to muddle through. At worst, he can think of ways to compensate him with some other things. In short, as long as it is something that the normal Song family's financial resources can take out, Song Qingming can give it. As for the others, Long Feng can forget about it.
Song Qingming can see that Long Feng could come to this meeting because of Fire Phoenix's authorization. Otherwise, just a small human cultivator like him, where is he qualified to make a deal with such a demon king.
Half a year later, a giant bird with wings spread out for over two zhang suddenly flew over the top of the Song family's Mount Funiu.
"There is a demonic beast invasion, hurry up and activate the mountain-protecting formation!" Following a loud bell sound, the entire Mount Funiu instantly became lively, and a layer of five-colored light suddenly lit up at the top of the mountain, covering the entire Mount Funiu inside.
Looking at the giant bird in the sky, Song Changfeng couldn't help but have a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Not good, the one coming is actually a second-tier demonic beast."
Now the two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan, Song Qingming went out more than ten days ago and hadn't returned, and Song Qingyu was stationed in Qinghe Market far away and couldn't return for a while. Although the mountain-protecting formation of Mount Funiu had been changed to a second-tier formation, even without Foundation Establishment cultivators, it would be very difficult for a second-tier demonic beast to break it in a short time. But if this demonic beast directly attacked the mortal towns at the foot of the mountain, it would be hard to say.
The defensive arrays in places like Mujiao Town were all first-tier defensive arrays and definitely couldn't block the attack of a second-tier demonic beast. The mortals in that place were the foundation of the Song family. Once breached, it would definitely suffer heavy losses, which was enough to make everyone in the Song family feel heartache.
Just when Song Changfeng was worried, a young man suddenly jumped down from the giant bird in the sky and passed directly through the mountain-protecting formation of Mount Funiu, landing in front of Song Changfeng.
"Qingming! How is it you."
