Chapter 398: Chapter 0398: Full of Mischief

Long Fei pulled the Tai’a Sword from his back and asked Fat Wang to chop some bamboo and bring it over.

It was clear there had been a wooden trestle bridge leading to the center at one time.

But with the passage of years, the wooden trestle bridge had rotted away, leaving only a few lonely piers standing on the water’s surface.

No one knew what material the Tai’a Sword was made of, for it was a reddish-gold color, neither gold nor copper nor iron.

It was three feet and three inches long, and three inches and three tenths wide.

Black fish-scale patterns adorned it, the edge sharp and intimidating, without a single crack or fracture; the blade could be called perfect.

The handle was wrapped in a layer of python skin, probably added by someone later, and the grip felt rather nice.

Weighing thirty-three pounds, Long Fei picked it up without feeling its weight.

But to Fat Wang, it was a bit heavy.

He grasped it with both hands, struggling to call Lu Buping for help.

Just now, three men, two carrying assault rifles and one with a longsword, looked unsightly and ridiculous.

There was Li Zhenni, who for the sake of maintaining her image, handed her gun to Fat Wang to carry, and when she dived into the water, she looked like a mermaid.

If you carry a broken gun, you’ll end up looking like a tuna.

In front of Li Zhenni and Zhang Xuan’er, Long Fei walked on the water towards the center of the lake.

Such was the art of lightness, skimming over water.

With each step he took, he solidified a splash of water with Essential Qi, as if stepping on air bags.

Zhang Xuan’er shouted anxiously, "We haven’t all crossed yet, what are you rushing for?"

She thought of the Ginseng and had a hunch that this man was going to monopolize all the Blood Spirit Flowers.

Long Fei turned his head and flashed her a wicked smile.

His steps passed over the lotuses, stirring ripples on the water, full of a sense of the Dao.

Zhang Xuan’er was so anxious she wanted to jump into the lake, but Li Zhenni held her back and threw a stone into it.

There was a muffled thud, and from the sound of it, the lake was at least ten meters deep.

Long Fei easily made it across; what belongs to the Li Family and the Zhang Family, once in his hands, would belong to the Long Family.

If anyone wanted it, they’d have to pay for it!

Friendship is friendship, but business is business, Long Fei was now very clear about that.

There were rocks below the small island, and yet the roots of the Blood Spirit Flowers penetrated the stones, showing how tenacious its life force was.

While it seemed abundant from the outside, the flowers actually only circled the perimeter, with none in the center, totaling around a hundred or so.

Long Fei’s hand brushed over the petals as if he was brushing over banknotes.

Such were the treasures of heaven and earth indeed.

He had studied Shennong’s Materia Medica carefully and, indeed, there was a mention of the Blood Spirit Flower.

However, the Blood Spirit Flower was not a single type of flower, but rather one that grew alongside Spiritual Beasts.

Because it absorbed the blood and Spiritual Energy of the Spiritual Beasts, it could be called Blood Spirit Flower after it grew.

Therefore, this type of flower could be a chrysanthemum, a rose, or even an ordinary wildflower that evolved.

Long Fei picked a flower and smelled it at his nose.

The fragrance was enchanting, reminiscent of the sweet scent of honey.

He opened his mouth and stuffed the flower in, eating it like a rabbit eats grass, munching away.

Yes, this kind of flower, unlike Ginseng or Deer Antler Velvet, could be eaten directly, and was extremely easy to absorb.

Zhang Xuan’er yelled from across the water, "You bastard, you’re ruining something so precious like that?"

Long Fei looked at her and smiled faintly, plucking another flower and popping it into his mouth.

He seemed to be deliberately infuriating Zhang Xuan’er, clearly eating a flower but as if savoring a mouthful of honey.

The sensation as it slid down his throat made his whole body feel exceptionally comfortable.

It was like the feeling of being bathed in Spiritual Energy for the first time.

Previously, it was from the outside in, but now it radiated from inside out.

His Dantian surged with Spiritual Energy, which with a slight circulation, transformed into pure True Qi.

It wasn’t just Essential Qi; there were still impurities that had to be refined and removed.

"What a great find, truly a great find!"

Long Fei was deeply moved, showing no mercy with his hands, eating from left to right, front to back.

Zhang Xuan’er and Li Zhenni’s eyes turned red with urgency as they saw Fat Wang and the others carry the bamboo over leisurely, so they hurried over to help.

The four of them dropped the bamboo, as thick as a water bucket and more than thirty meters long, into the water with a splash.

The leaves and branches of the bamboo floated on the surface, steadying themselves and forming a bridge-like structure on the water.

"You bastard, if you finish eating them all, I’ll kill you!"

Li Zhenni cursed loudly, urgently being the first to step across the bamboo.

The surface of the bamboo was smooth, and even more slippery when wet.

Luckily, she had trained her balance, lifting her arms and quickly traversing the distance with an awkward, weaving gait.

Zhang Xuan’er also had practiced the stage walk, so crossing this was not difficult for her, following closely behind Li Zhenni.

Lu Buping was the third to go, and the Swallow Sect’s lightness skills were not to be underestimated.

He stepped on the bamboo, used the rebound force from pressing down on the pillar, and leaped five or six meters in a single bound, reaching the end in only a few steps.

Fat Wang was a bit clumsy; he used the Tai’a Sword to anchor himself on the bamboo, slowly shuffling his buttocks as he moved across.

The four of them stood on top, looking at Long Fei, who had a smug smile on his face, and they were all on the verge of a breakdown.

Damn it, besides the flowers he had eaten, the rest had all been picked by him and wrapped up in a T-shirt.

He stood there shirtless on the opposite side, even having the nerve to compliment them, "Not bad, you’re three minutes faster than I estimated!"

Li Zhenni reached out, shouting at Fat Wang, "Give me the sword, I’ll slay this scoundrel too!"

Zhang Xuan’er also looked desperate as she inspected the flower stems, not a single flower left, all picked by Long Fei.

She yelled out in frustration, "We share in fortune and in trouble; what are you really up to?"

Long Fei consoled them with a laugh, "What’s the rush? Harvesting this flower is a skillful task. I’ve done it for you, and now you blame me instead. You don’t believe me? Try and see if you can break these flower stems!"

"You’re trying to fool a ghost!"

Li Zhenni, infuriated, stamped her foot and grabbed a flower stem, pulling it with all her might.

Ouch!

The situation was indeed beyond her expectations, the stem was extremely elastic, resembling a rope.

The corner of Long Fei’s mouth curled up; the stem, nourished by the blood of a Spiritual Beast, was of course extraordinary.

Li Zhenni summoned her strength, raising the Tai’a Sword high and chopping down hard, finally severing a stem.

Long Fei instructed, "Right, right, like that. Pull out the stems too, don’t waste them. The Blood Spirit Flower is nutritious, and the stems aren’t bad either."

Li Zhenni gritted her teeth, lifting the Tai’a Sword with all her strength and shouted, "You bastard, shameless, hand over the Blood Spirit Flower now."

Zhang Xuan’er, with red eyes, joined in, "I knew it, you scoundrel are a treacherous official. Loyal on the surface, but full of mischief inside. We all should have a share, give us some now."

Lu Buping and Fat Wang didn’t dare to say anything, one being a disciple and the other a brother-in-law.

With such a master and brother-in-law, what else could they say?

Long Fei ate the flowers, and they should be glad to have the stems.

Fat Wang picked up a stem and tasted it, the juice was sweet, tasted like honey, and was quite delicious.

It was just very resilient, like chewing on beef tendon gum.

Seeing this, Lu Buping shamelessly started eating as well.

When the two women turned around, they were almost driven mad by their so-called teammates.

Long Fei tried to pacify them, "Put the sword down, let’s talk this out nicely. I’m not keeping it from you, look how worked up you’ve gotten!"

Li Zhenni extended her hand and said, frustrated, "If you had said so earlier, that would have been the end of it. I want ten, no, twenty!"

Zhang Xuan’er also extended her hand, "I want twenty too!"

They were smart, they looked at the stems and estimated.

There were over a hundred flowers on the field, twenty each would be an even split.

Long Fei nodded his head, then made a remark the two women would never forget, "All right, twenty each it is. We’re acquaintances, so I’ll give you a fifty percent discount. One Blood Spirit Flower is one billion; you guys should make a promissory note first!"
