Chapter 1363: Entering the Mountains
"Brother Ling, I want to go too!" Zheng Yitong said.
Seeing her pleading eyes, Ling Feng nodded, "Alright, if you want to go, let’s go together!"
After speaking, he looked at Cheng Xiao, "I have already investigated this matter, but I didn’t do anything to the Peng family, since there’s no definitive evidence. Also, it’s quite a bizarre matter. Do you want to tell your parents about it?"
"This..."
Cheng Xiao pondered for a moment. Although she was knowledgeable, she was still an ordinary person, so she was at a loss when faced with such things.
After thinking for a while, she looked up and said, "Let’s not say anything for now. After all, I’m fine, so let’s not worry them!"
"Alright then!"
Ling Feng nodded and then said, "It’s around seven to eight hundred kilometers from here to Qianxi. You guys get ready. I’ll have Ah Tai find two cars and bring a few of his people. We’ll set off together!"
"Okay!"
Zheng Yitong immediately pulled Cheng Xiao back to her house to prepare clothes and various necessities.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng took out his phone and called Ah Tai, giving him simple instructions.
At 2 PM, two cars arrived at Ling Feng’s house.
Ah Tai brought three capable subordinates and upon seeing Ling Feng, he said, "Mr. Ling, we’re ready."
"You all can pass through customs and head straight to Qianxi by car, right?" Ling Feng asked.
"Don’t worry, there are absolutely no issues. I’m also an investor in the Mainland now, and I still have some influence in Yue Province!" Ah Tai said.
"That’s good. This time going into the mountains might take two or three days, so settle things at home first!" Ling Feng nodded.
Zheng Yitong and Cheng Xiao had also readied their things. Knowing this wasn’t a typical trip, they didn’t bring much and shared one suitcase.
Seeing it was getting late, the three got in the car and left the villa.
After passing customs and entering Huaxia, the car didn’t stop and went directly onto the highway, heading straight for Qianxi!
The sky gradually darkened, and on the road, Zheng Yitong, curious, asked, "Brother Ling, what’s in the mountains, really?"
Ling Feng smiled, "It’s a kind of mineral that’s rarely used in the world. This thing has almost never been found on Earth, and now there’s a clue. I have to verify it myself!"
When he learned of the Peng family’s purpose from the old Taoist’s mind, he was stunned!
Because according to the memory in his mind, the mountains contained a huge amount of Spirit Stone resources!
This was simply unbelievable.
The last time a Spirit Stone was discovered was when he ran into Ling Ling in the Golden Triangle.
Spirit Stones were extremely rare treasures before, so why are they suddenly becoming more common?
Could this be the so-called rejuvenation of Spiritual Energy?
With more Spirit Stones, the number of cultivators would also increase, making the world more lively.
Without further conversation, at midnight, the car left the highway and entered a small county town.
This wasn’t the final destination yet, but they had already been on the road for seven or eight hours, so it was time to rest for a bit.
Ah Tai’s men went ahead and booked hotel rooms. When Ling Feng and the others arrived, they went straight upstairs.
Everyone went to their rooms to rest, preparing to head to the destination the following morning.
...
...
After dawn, the group had breakfast and set off again.
The gear needed for the mountain expedition had already been purchased, and the two cars left the county town and entered the mountainous area.
Cheng Xiao had never been here before, and once in the mountains, she and Zheng Yitong were both filled with curiosity about the surrounding scenery.
Zheng Yitong remarked, "The scenery here is quite nice. If there was a house built on the mountain, it would surely be comfortable to live in!"
"Really? It’s too far from the city. Do you think you could get used to it?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.
"What’s not to get used to?" Zheng Yitong retorted.
"You’re cut off from the outside world, and it would be hard to solve water and electricity issues!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Even if it’s hard, it can be solved. Getting away from the city’s noise is a good thing, don’t you think, Xiao Xiao?" Zheng Yitong asked.
Cheng Xiao nodded, "I think so too. Staying in the city for too long can be tiring. Growing vegetables in the mountains sounds nice."
Ling Feng chuckled at this, thinking that even though they say this, if they stayed in the mountains for a while, they’d likely miss the hustle and bustle of the city.
The cars navigated deeper into the mountains using GPS, and soon, Ah Tai’s car came to an unexpected stop ahead.
Ah Tai then came to the back car, "Mr. Ling, there’s no road ahead."
"Oh? The map clearly shows a road. What’s going on?" Ling Feng asked.
"The road was washed out by a mountain flood. It seems no one has been living in the mountains, so no one has repaired the road. It looks like it’s been a while," Ah Tai explained.
Ling Feng nodded, "Alright then, we’ll walk into the mountains. After all, it’s not that far."
Everyone got out of the car, and Ah Tai’s subordinates brought the necessary gear as they began to hike into the mountains.
Even though it’s winter, here in the southwest, the climate is certainly warmer than in the north, and the trees on the mountain are lush, with none of the leaves fallen.
As they walked into the mountains, Ling Feng glanced at Cheng Xiao, "Why did your grandfather choose such a remote place?"
"When I was a child, he said this was where the Cheng Family originated, with a two-hundred-year history, so he always reminded me to come back and visit one day."
Cheng Xiao gave a wry smile, "It’s just that as work got busy, I put this matter at the back of my mind."
"Hmm, it would be troublesome if you came alone. Since no one lives in the mountains, you might not even find the place!" Ling Feng said.
Cheng Xiao nodded, "Yeah, it’s too secluded here."
The path ahead was overgrown with weeds, truly showing signs of neglect for a long time. After walking two kilometers in the mountains, they finally reached the destination.
Here lay a broad canyon, surrounded by mountains, with a towering peak in the distance soaring into the clouds.
At a glance, even though Ling Feng wasn’t well-versed in feng shui, he could sense the unique vibe of the place!
Especially, he could feel the faint traces of Spiritual Energy around, prompting him to exclaim, "This is indeed a good place!"
"Mr. Ling, according to the range Miss Cheng provided, the land belonging to the Cheng Family extends from here to that mountain over there," Ah Tai said as he walked over.
"Good, let’s set up the tents and rest. I’ll go check out the mountain!"
With that, Ling Feng’s figure flickered, and he was suddenly dozens of meters away.
Seeing this, the others didn’t react much, but Cheng Xiao’s eyes widened instantly as she grabbed Zheng Yitong’s arm, "He, he... how..."
"Don’t be surprised. Brother Ling is not an ordinary person. You’ll find out soon enough!" Zheng Yitong said with a smile, unfazed by the sight.
