Chapter 412: Marshland
Lin Feng nodded, "I will try to look for them in the wilderness"
Lin Feng was planning to visit the most probable location in the world where they might be found.
"Alright, I will try to ask about it in the major factions.." Bai Ning left immediately.
Lin Feng didn’t wait either, he flew and came to a mountain behind the sect. The moment he landed on the peak, seven beasts surrounded him.
"Young master, you came back.." Frostscale Boa became delighted.
Whenever Lin Feng came, he would give them pills which improved their bloodlines.
This made them far stronger than before even when their realm didn’t change much.
Lin Feng nodded calmly," Tell me any good marshy places..."
....
Soon Lin Feng was sitting on the Frostscale Boa’s head while other beasts were also following.
He decided to bring them all to search for the spirit herbs.
The first spirit herb he was looking for was the Golden Meridian Lotus which grows in marshy places.
These beasts knew about a good marshy land, it was near the previous territory of the Bloodfur Bear.
"That place is the territory of that greedy crocodile, I hate that bastard..." Bloodfur Bear expressed his discontent.
"Just thrash it today till it begs you for forgiveness..hehe" Frostscale Boa snickered.
Lin Feng ignored their talks and just enjoyed the view.
A few minutes later, the trees became sparse and they finally reached the biggest marshlands in the northern region..
The land was filled with small muddy swamps here and there and whatever ground was exposed, it was totally damp.
"Here comes the swine.."
Just as Bloodfur Bear finished speaking, a crocodile covered in dark scales which shone with a metallic sheen appeared above the water.
Initially the crocodile was annoyed when it sensed someone entering its territory but when it sensed not one but seven territory lords along with a human whose cultivation realm it couldn’t sense, it got a little vigilant..
"Bloodfur, what happened, why are you all here..."
Even though it was surrounded, it wasn’t afraid, territory lords didn’t fight in groups so they wouldn’t attack it. It was a matter of pride for them.
"Ohh... how the hell did you get so tamed all of a sudden, what happened to the overlord of the marshlands?" Bloodfur Bear’s tone was full of amusement and hatred.
The marshland was the biggest territory among all the territories nearby and since this crocodile had the advantage of always hiding in the water and mud, no one was able to truly challenge it.
There was the longest spiritual vein beneath this marshy land and that made it even more enticing.
"Bloodfur are you really here to challenge me? Last time I remember you ran away quite fast...tch"
Bloodfur immediately felt immense anger hearing that. It wasn’t a lie, this had happened a few decades ago but it was because he was just too reckless at that time, "Humph! Come out and talk you rotten swine—"
"Just stop you fool.." Glacialfang had enough of this bickering, she turned her attention towards the crocodile, "Netherfang, we are looking for Golden Meridian Lotus, by any chance do you have one?"
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction internally. Female beasts were more calm and reasonable, it was widely known.
Netherfang frowned, it wanted to deny and go back deep into the water but it had a feeling that if it did that then these beasts wouldn’t hold back against it.
There was the matter of this human, how could Frostscale Boa let a human ride it. It also felt a slight sense of danger looking at him.
It knew the location of the Golden Meridian Lotus, how could it not when it was one of its prized collections, "Why do you want to know that?"
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, this crocodile really knew the location of the Golden Meridian Lotus, "I will give you a chance of fair trade if the lotus you have is in the Tribulation Ascendance realm..."
Lin Feng took out two grade nine herbs and both were water related, which were perfect for this Netherfang Crocodile, "Two for one, how about it?"
The eyes of the crocodile lit up, it could sense even faint traces of yin qi in one of the spirit herbs and it salivated looking at it.
"Young master, I don’t think that’s a fair trade, you should only give it one spirit herb, this swine should be happy that we didn’t ransack its whole territory to take it away forcefully..." Bloodfur spoke immediately.
The eyes of Netherfang widened slightly, hearing young master and the respectful tone from Bloodfur was not something it would have ever imagined.
The rumours about these seven joining a human sect were already spread among the territory lords but who would have thought that they would be calling a human their young master.
It felt that they were enslaved, if it was true then it pitied their destiny.
Lin Feng shook his head, "It’s me who is in need so leave it... Netherfang, tell me if you want to trade or not."
The Netherfang wanted to accept the trade but.., "That lotus is at the late stage of Tribulation Ascendance.."
Lin Feng nodded, "I see.." What he was offering was one mid stage and one early stage spirit herb.
He could see that the crocodile was still interested in this trade and if he pushed even slightly, it would accept it. It wouldn’t mind growing these herbs for decades to make them reach the appropriate stage.
"Here, you can have a late stage one then.." Lin Feng replaced the mid stage spirit herb which had slight traces of yin qi with a normal water related herb..
The Netherfang became a little agitated, "N-No, I want that mid stage one.."
"Damn you fool, first you complain about it and now you want it.." Frostscale Boa lashed out..
Lin Feng sighed, there was a reason why he had offered that spirit herb in the first place. It was perfectly suited for this crocodile, "Alright, I will give you that herb but first bring out the Golden Meridian Lotus.."
