The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 403 Don’t be nervous

Given the identity of Lin Huaqiang, anything that could shock him must be no small matter.

So even Ling Feng felt that it might be something serious, and like everyone else, he looked at him with eyes full of confusion.

"This is indeed a big deal, and I need to share it with everyone!"

After hearing the person confirm the answer, Lin Huaqiang squinted his eyes and turned back to the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received news that a top-grade Spirit Stone has also appeared in our Huaxia!"

"Wow!"

The people present exclaimed in surprise, showing expressions of disbelief.

And Ling Feng’s eyes widened, filled with speechlessness.

He thought it was something very serious, but it turned out to be this?

"I believe everyone relaxed a bit after hearing this news, right?"

Lin Huaqiang was beaming with joy, even happier than when he celebrated securing the oil field earlier!

He then said to the people: "I told you, Huaxia is vast and rich, with outstanding people and a spiritually energized land, how could we not have a top-grade Spirit Stone? That American kid has been acting high and mighty for so long with just a Spirit Stone the size of a thumb, it’s time to put him in his place!"

"That’s right, now we can hold our heads high!"

"Our Huaxia also has a top-grade Spirit Stone, this is a tremendous piece of good news!"

"It’s just that no one knows who has the Spirit Stone?"

People discussed animatedly, and those talking were essentially from the three great families.

These people, although quite powerful and with influence spread throughout the cities of Huaxia, naturally owned some Spirit Stones, but none had a top-grade Spirit Stone.

Despite both being Spirit Stones, they were very clear about the vast difference in value between the two.

When the people had almost finished discussing, Lin Huaqiang smiled and said: "We still don’t know who the owner of that Spirit Stone is, but I believe there will be news very soon!"

Just as a hint of disappointment flashed across people’s faces, Joanna suddenly chuckled and said, "Uncle Lin, if you want to know who owns that top-grade Spirit Stone, it’s actually quite easy!"

"Oh?"

Lin Huaqiang was startled, turned his head to look at her: "Anna, do you know who it is?"

"Of course, he’s both far away in the horizon and right in front of you!"

Joanna smiled, and without beating around the bush, pointed directly at Ling Feng!

At this moment, Ling Feng had a wry smile on his face, not expecting this girl to sell him out directly!

But on second thought, what Lin Huaqiang had just said was right; it wouldn’t take long for these people to figure out it was him. So why bother hiding anything now?

So he had no choice but to accept the reality and, under the astonished gazes of the others, he walked up to Lin Huaqiang: "Uncle Lin, hello."

"Ling Feng, the top-grade Spirit Stone is in your possession?" Lin Huaqiang asked in astonishment.

"Yes, initially I didn’t realize it would be so valuable. I just threw it under the bed when I got it, and only recently did I discover its usefulness," said Ling Feng.

"Oh, and where did you find it?" asked Lin Huaqiang.

"This..."

Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "It was in some ruins."

Before Lin Huaqiang could speak, the people around were already excited.

"Where are those ruins!"

"Right, Mr. Lin, would you mind disclosing that?"

Ling Feng looked at them and noticed the eagerness in their eyes, so he smiled and said, "I’m sorry, but that place is rather remote, and I’m unable to disclose its exact location to everyone."

People exchanged glances with each other, all aware that these words were clearly an excuse—Ling Feng simply didn’t want to tell!

However, this wasn’t really surprising. If someone had found gold somewhere, they wouldn’t disclose the location either, would they? Wouldn’t it be better to keep it for themselves and mine it slowly?

"Good, very good!"

Lin Huaqiang was very pleased and nodded repeatedly before saying to Ling Feng, "I didn’t expect the Spirit Stone to be in your hands. This is truly a great thing. Nephew, come with me!"

Having said that, he turned and headed towards the exit of the banquet hall, and Ling Feng had no choice but to follow.

Meanwhile, people from the three major clans looked at each other; some followed as well.

"Hua Qiang, about the matter of the Spirit Stone..."

Chu Nan started to speak but hesitated. Lin Huaqiang, seeing this, smiled slightly and said, "Don’t worry, everyone. I am not bringing Ling Feng outside to talk about the Spirit Stone, but about his relationship with my daughter!"

"Oh?"

Everyone was stunned, and their hearts sank.

There must be a special relationship between Ling Feng and his daughter, and by saying this, Lin Huaqiang was clearly telling everyone not to covet the Spirit Stone; it now ’belonged’ to the Lin family!

Under the gaze of the crowd, Lin Huaqiang led Ling Feng out of the banquet hall and into a small lounge as soon as they turned a corner.

"Uncle Lin wants to talk to me about something?" Ling Feng asked after entering.

Lin Hua smiled and said, "Take a seat, don’t be nervous."

Ling Feng thought to himself, I’m not nervous, I’ve figured out what you mean!

After they sat down, Lin Huaqiang said with a smile, "Are you thinking that I’m eyeing your Spirit Stone and that if you don’t agree, I might even use your relationship with Lin Xue to pressure you?"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng didn’t expect him to be so straightforward and blunt. He laughed awkwardly and said, "That’s exactly what I was thinking!"

"Mmm, it’s understandable. You saw those people just now; for the sake of the Spirit Stone, they might do anything, considering how precious it is!"

"But the reason I brought you out wasn’t to get it from you, but to give you an out!"

Ling Feng was taken aback, then he had a flash of understanding but still wasn’t completely sure, so he ventured, "Does Uncle Lin mean that you want them to know I’m now with you, so they should stop targeting me?"

"You are indeed teachable!"

Lin Huaqiang nodded in approval and said, "If I hadn’t done so, you would have had endless trouble after leaving, not knowing how many would try all means to get your Spirit Stone."

"I’ve thought about that, too. It really is a big nuisance. Thank you, Uncle Lin, for your kindness," Ling Feng said.

"Don’t mention it, I actually have a selfish motive as well."

Lin Huaqiang chuckled and looked at Ling Feng, saying, "You have two Spirit Stones in hand; make sure you keep them safe and don’t let them be stolen. Furthermore, if you have the chance to find more, I hope you could give me one, just a small piece will do!"

Ling Feng had guessed as much and nodded in response, "Rest assured, Uncle Lin, I will do my best to meet your request, even if I do not for others!"

"That’s great; I thank you in advance!" Lin Huaqiang said with a laugh.

"Uncle Lin, I don’t really understand, what exactly are the functions of a top-quality Spirit Stone, and why does everyone seem so eager upon hearing about it?" Ling Feng asked.

"At a certain realm, to advance further, one must rely on extremely strong Spiritual Energy. Ordinary Spirit Stones can no longer suffice, and only top-quality Spirit Stones can do the job!"

"I am now in the Qi Strength Realm and, although I have not reached the bottleneck yet, I have to prepare in advance, don’t I?"

Ling Feng had an epiphany, "So you mean, those who desire the Spirit Stones are all looking to advance from the Qi Strength Realm to a higher level?"
