The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 636: Open Conspiracies

As soon as Wang Laogen heard Ling Feng’s words, he immediately became alert, "What bait?"

"Here’s what I’m thinking..."

Ling Feng smiled and shared his plan.

In fact, his idea was quite simple: since those people were most interested in cultivators with Spirit Stones, why not play them at their own game and have a fresh face publicly sell Spirit Stones!

Just like the exhibition that the security bureau organized in the Demon Capital last time, once this news got out, those people would surely take the bait!

After hearing Ling Feng’s plan, Wang Laogen smacked his lips, "Kid, your idea seems a bit too idiotic. It’s not that I’m afraid of dying and won’t be your bait, but Yu Nan has just disappeared, and if someone immediately starts selling Spirit Stones domestically, it’s obviously fishing. Do you think they are fools?"

"Not at all. I am also taking a gamble, let’s just say it’s an open stratagem. Let’s see how much they care about Spirit Stones, or rather, how much they care about people on Earth who possess Spirit Stones," Ling Feng said with a laugh.

At this point, Lin Huaqiang asked, "You mean, even if they know it’s a trap, they’ll still come?"

Ling Feng nodded, "Exactly, that’s what I think!"

He paused for a moment before continuing with a laugh, "Moreover, this time, what I’m going to use is something that could shock the world again. I’m sure that once they see it, they’ll be itching to snatch it away immediately!"

"I get it, you want to use that..." Lin Huaqiang said in astonishment.

Chu Nan and Wang Laogen were both startled and asked simultaneously, "Which ’that’?"

"Just a large Spirit Stone!" Ling Feng said with a smile.

"Isn’t this too risky? How do you know for sure they’re coming for the Spirit Stone?" Lin Huaqiang asked.

It was clear that he was somewhat reluctant upon learning that Ling Feng was going to use the large Spirit Stone as bait!

Although it wasn’t his own, it felt almost no different from being part of his family’s possessions!

"Uncle Lin, rest assured, if I dare to take it out, I’m not afraid of losing it. If they’re not here for the Spirit Stone, even better. That means the bureau chief’s hypothesis is correct, and they’re here to control the strength progression of cultivators on Earth!" Ling Feng reassured.

"In that case, such a large Spirit Stone would be even more something they have to get their hands on. Then they need to find a way to eliminate both its owner and those who intend to buy it. Don’t you agree?"

After hearing Ling Feng’s words, Lin Huaqiang sighed helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "Your idea is good, but the risk is still too high!"

Meanwhile, Chu Nan and Wang Laogen seemed to not hear what Ling Feng said, asking in unison, "How large is the Spirit Stone?"

"This one right here!"

With no need to hide it from them, Ling Feng took out the largest one from his Space Ring in front of the two.

"This..."

Seeing the soccer ball-sized high-quality Spirit Stone placed on the table, the eyes of the two old men nearly popped out of their sockets!

"You, where did you get this from..."

Wang Laogen excitedly clutched his chest, startling everyone!

Ling Feng quickly checked his pulse and then sent a stream of Spiritual Power into him to calm his racing heart.

Afterward, Ling Feng looked at Wang Laogen helplessly, "Come on, what’s got you so excited?"

"It’s just riches to some and famine to others. Ling Feng, don’t overdo it, okay? This thing might not mean much to you, but don’t you understand its importance to us?" Chu Nan said helplessly.

Ling Feng chuckled, "Well then, I guess I’ll just put it away!"

He hadn’t even reached out when Wang Laogen snatched the Spirit Stone, hugging it tightly to his chest, "To use it as bait, right? I’m in for this job!"

Ling Feng: "..."

Lin Huaqiang: "..."

With an awkward laugh, Ling Feng hurriedly said, "Look Wang Laogen, you can be the bait, but this Spirit Stone isn’t really for you, so don’t get any funny ideas, okay?"

"Hey, even if you dare to give it to me, I wouldn’t dare to take it. I just want to hold it and take a closer look, let me hold it for a couple of days!" Wang Laogen said.

Ling Feng was dumbfounded: "What kind of hobby is that?"

"What’s it to you?" Wang Laogen gave him a sidelong glance.

...

...

In the evening, a car arrived at the front door, and Lu Zihao and Zhou Yi jumped out of the car.

After entering the house, Chu Nan immediately said to Zhou Yi, "I’ve been staying at your place for the past few days. If I’ve done anything wrong, please forgive me!"

Zhou Yi laughed, "Mr. Chu, you are too polite. I originally intended to use this place as a vacation home, but I never really had the time. It’s idle anyway, so having you few stay here is putting it to good use. Plus, it adds glory to my house!"

"We’re all friends here, so let’s skip the formalities. Let’s get inside quickly and talk about what’s next!" Ling Feng said eagerly.

After they went upstairs, Ling Feng repeated his plan once more, then looked at Lu Zihao and Zhou Yi, "Do you two have any objections?"

Lu Zihao smiled: "None at all, you’re in command of this operation. We just need to support you, tell us what to do, and we’ll do it!"

Ling Feng forced a smile: "Come on, big brother, stop teasing me, will you? In terms of seniority, how can I compare to the two of you? Let’s all discuss this together instead!"

"Our opinions are only for reference, they won’t affect your decision. Sometimes, too many opinions can make things more complicated!" Zhou Yi said.

Hearing her say the same, Ling Feng had no choice but to nod, "All right then."

At that moment, Lu Zihao chimed in, "Your method can indeed be called an overt plot; it’s clear we’re fishing to see if the other side can hold back or not!"

"Right, that’s what I’m thinking, but I haven’t considered what if they keep hidden and really don’t involve themselves, then what are we supposed to do?" Ling Feng said.

"Then we’ll spice things up and announce that we’ve found the Gate of Heaven and Earth!" Lu Zihao said gravely.

"Huh?"

Ling Feng and Lin Xue were both startled!

"What? You didn’t know?"

Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Lu Zihao immediately felt doubtful.

Ling Feng was even more baffled, scratching his head: "Know what?"

"The new clues to the Gate of Heaven and Earth have been uncovered, but the archaeologists have no idea what they’ve found, so the information hasn’t been made public yet—only a few people in the security bureau know!" Zhou Yi said.

Ling Feng: "Clues to the Gate of Heaven and Earth...?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Yes, they were found in a village in your town. This morning, a sinkhole suddenly occurred, and afterward, an ancient tomb was discovered underground. Inside the coffin of that tomb, there was a text that mentioned this Gate of Heaven and Earth!"

"..."

Ling Feng was somewhat confused, thinking how things had come full circle all of a sudden.

While he was still in a daze, Lin Xue suddenly asked excitedly, "If there are clues, why not rush to excavate and find it?"

Zhou Yi replied with a wry smile, "It’s just a clue, it didn’t say that it’s right there! The workers are still digging eagerly, hoping to find more clues!"
