Chapter 608: Stonemarrow
Chapter 608: Stonemarrow
Millennium Stone Marrow.
Following the four characters, there was an introduction, "Born from nature’s spiritual energy, consuming it can extend one’s lifespan and preserve youth forever!"
"What?"
Ling Feng stared in astonishment, his whole body frozen!
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zhou Yi didn’t know what had happened, seeing him clutching that piece of stone cluelessly, she would have thought he was electrocuted if not for the lack of trembling!
"This is seriously some good stuff!"
Ling Feng regained his composure, gave a strong tug, and pulled the Stonemarrow out from the crack in the rock above his head!
The Stonemarrow, over a meter long and as thick as an adult’s arm, felt warm and moist in his hand instead of cold.
Zhou Yi, with a face full of curiosity, asked, "What exactly is this good thing, can you stop being so entranced for a moment?"
"Heh heh!"
Ling Feng chuckled and hurriedly shared the information he had just read with her.
Afterwards, Zhou Yi was also shocked, "My God, could it be that consuming this thing really grants immortality?"
"Not necessarily, but adding a few decades to one’s life should be no problem, now I finally understand why Luo Nanlin and that guy surnamed Tong came here!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
Zhou Yi nodded, "They aren’t young anymore, risking to come here for this makes sense!"
"Should we hand this over?" Ling Feng suddenly asked.
"Huh?"
Zhou Yi was taken aback by the question.
If it had been before, she would have given a definite affirmative answer without hesitation.
But now, she hesitated for a moment, looked into Ling Feng’s eyes, and said, "I’ll follow your lead."
Her identity hadn’t changed, yet her stance had!
Ling Feng chuckled, "Something this good, I really can’t bear to hand it over to the bureau, once it’s turned in, we’ll definitely never see it again!"
"True, but once we get out and say we found nothing, nobody will believe us, especially with Luo Nanlin alive to tell the tale, the higher-ups are sure to get the details out of him," Zhou Yi said with a nod.
"Yeah, you’re right."
Ling Feng chuckled, then with a twist in his tone, said, "However, they know there’s Stonemarrow, but they don’t know how much, which still gives us some leverage!"
After saying that, he looked down at it, pondered for a moment, and then divided the Stonemarrow into two parts!
Despite its stone-like appearance, it was actually quite soft, and it broke easily with a gentle twist.
One piece forty centimeters and the other seventy centimeters, Zhou Yi then asked seeing this, "Are you planning to give the longer piece to the bureau?"
"Heh, why should I give this up?"
Ling Feng chuckled, the longer piece was placed into the Space Ring, leaving only the shorter piece in his hand.
Zhou Yi: "..."
After being silent for a moment, she gave Ling Feng a white-eyed glance, "I didn’t expect you to be so greedy!"
"I have no choice, I have a large family to take care of!"
Ling Feng said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders with a laugh.
Zhou Yi found it amusing internally, without any objections to his choice, she only said softly, "Then you’d better think it through, it won’t look good if you get caught!"
"Don’t worry, I have thick skin, it doesn’t matter if I’m discovered!"
Ling Feng laughed, wrapped his arm around her, and walked out.
Upon leaving the cave, Lu Zihao immediately came up to them, "Did you find anything?"
"This, Millennium Stone Marrow!"
Ling Feng said with a smile, handing over the object in his hand.
Lu Zihao examined the item in his hand, a puzzled expression on his face, "What on earth is this?"
After Ling Feng explained, he reacted just like Zhou Yi had earlier, showing a stunned expression.
Then, carefully looking around, Lu Zihao whispered, "Ling Feng, if you bring this thing out, the bureau will definitely want to confiscate it. Take advantage of the fact that it’s just us here and keep some for yourself quickly!"
Ling Feng: "..."
Zhou Yi: "..."
Both of them were somewhat surprised and at the same time deeply touched. Ling Feng smiled and said, "Thanks for the heads up, Big Brother. Don’t worry, I’ve already kept a portion for myself!"
"Oh, right, I had forgotten what kind of person you are!"
Lu Zihao cracked a slight smile.
Ling Feng was at a loss for words: "What do you mean, Big Brother, what’s my personality like?"
"You know yourself!"
Lu Zihao laughed heartily and departed with the piece of Stonemarrow in hand.
Zhou Yi looked at Ling Feng: "It seems everyone knows you well. I bet even your bureau chief thinks the same way!"
"It doesn’t matter. Once something is in my hands, it is not so easy to take it away!" Ling Feng said with a shrug.
...
...
Members of the Black Dragon Sect were taken away by the soldiers who arrived later, and Luo Nanlin, whose powers were crippled by Ling Feng, feigned death the whole time, his eyes tightly closed without a glimmer of opening, and was directly carried out of the mountains.
Ling Feng and Zhou Yi returned to the village, before taking Li Yun along with them to Longyuan.
Luo Nanlin was an important figure, so he was imprisoned separately.
Ling Feng had intended to accompany Li Yun inside, but she refused, so Ling Feng had no choice but to wait outside the door.
About half an hour later, she walked out of the house, her eyes somewhat red, appearing as if she had been crying.
Ling Feng felt a pang of heartache and quickly took her hand: "Sister, don’t be sad."
Facing this situation, he didn’t know what to say to comfort her, and could only offer those simple words.
Li Yun forced a slight smile: "I’m fine, I just came to understand the whole story, and feel like I’ve wasted all these years!"
"No worries, there are still many years ahead of us!" Ling Feng hastened to say.
"I know. I aim to live well in the future and not let you and everyone else down," said Li Yun.
The truth was clear, as early as ten years ago, the real Luo Nanlin had been killed, and Elder Mu of the Black Dragon Sect had been impersonating him ever since.
Speaking of which, the Luo Family had been terribly harmed by this man.
Luckily Zhang Lan wasn’t here. If she knew the details, she probably wouldn’t let that guy off easy!
After comforting Li Yun a bit more and seeing that her demeanor had returned to normal, Ling Feng asked Zhou Yi to look after her and went to find Chen Ping.
As expected, the Stonemarrow had already been handed over to the higher-ups who were sent in, and it was taken away at top speed.
As for whether Ling Feng had kept any for himself, Chen Ping didn’t even bother to ask.
Chen Ping was busy since there were so many Black Dragon Sect members captured; coordinating their processing was taking up all his time.
Seeing that there wasn’t much left for him to do here, Ling Feng prepared to head home.
But just then, he received a phone call from Lin Huaqiang.
"Ling Feng, we’ve negotiated. That person is willing to trade for three pieces of high-quality Spirit Stones, insisting that each piece weighs no less than one kilogram!"
"This guy is quite greedy, wanting three pieces?" Ling Feng exclaimed in surprise.
"That’s what I thought too, but unique goods command a premium, and since you’re the one in need..."
Lin Huaqiang chuckled lightly, his tone resigned.
Ling Feng nodded: "Alright, I’ll prepare to head to Demon Capital right away and deal with him face-to-face!"
"That works. That person is already quite anxious. I’ll make a call, and he will immediately catch a flight over," said Lin Huaqiang.
