The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 668 A Vast Ocean

Twenty minutes later, everyone felt an inexplicable fluctuation!

Ling Feng returned to the group, smiling cheekily, "Done, shall we go?"

"Let’s go, let’s hurry and see!"

Everyone was excited, eager to find out what The Fifth Layer was truly like.

According to the pattern, this newly opened world should be entirely new and unique!

The group left the fourth realm and stepped outside, only to discover a blue vortex, slowly swirling.

Ling Feng looked at everyone, "Old rules, I’ll go in first to check it out and then come back!"

"Old rules? With Yaoyao here, we don’t need you anymore," Zhou Yi glanced at him.

"Ah..."

Seeing Ling Yao looking at him with a half-smile, Ling Feng scratched his head, "Right, I forgot!"

"Male chauvinist!"

Ling Yao gave him a look and stepped into the Nine Heavens!

The rest of the group immediately followed suit, and upon entering, they were all breathless with amazement!

Looking around, they saw nothing but the vast blue ocean!

In front of them was only a rocky surface the size of a basketball court; beyond that, there was nothing but water.

"This..."

Ling Feng was bewildered, thinking that they had actually arrived at an ocean world. How would they explore this place, was diving a requirement?

The rest were equally perplexed and turned their heads to look at Ling Yao.

"The size of this ocean is roughly seven hundred square kilometers, so big!" Ling Yao said softly, eyes closed.

Everyone: "..."

Seven hundred square kilometers—most of them didn’t quite grasp the concept, so they were somewhat confused.

But they were sure it was very large!

"Sis, I don’t care how big the ocean is, I just want to know where we can find Spirit Stones around here!" Ling Feng said helplessly.

"Wait, let me count!"

After saying this, Ling Yao closed her eyes.

Ling Feng had no choice but to wait patiently, and it turned out to be more than ten minutes.

Then Ling Yao opened her eyes, "There are a total of one hundred thirty-six Spirit Stones at the bottom of the sea, one hundred small ones, thirty large ones, and six extra-large ones."

"Uh... how big is ’extra-large’?" Ling Feng asked.

"Approximately..." Ling Yao thought for a moment and gestured with her hands, "About this big!"

The area her hands outlined was twice the size of a household basin!

Ling Feng was overjoyed, almost jumping up!

He had just lost a basketball-sized Spirit Stone to Yu Linglong, and now he had discovered even bigger ones, instantly dispelling his previous gloom!

But just as he had been happy for a few seconds, Ling Yao threw a damper on his excitement, "Don’t be too happy too soon. These Giant Spirit Stones are guarded by creatures. It won’t be so easy for you to get them!"

"Uh, what kind of creatures are guarding them?" Ling Feng’s spirits deflated instantly.

"Fish with mouths full of sharp teeth, very big, fourth-tier creatures," Ling Yao said.

"...Can’t you help me snatch them?" Ling Feng asked.

Ling Yao looked at him, "Do you really think I’m omnipotent? Just now, in order to subdue that octopus, my spiritual power has almost been depleted. It will take some time for it to come back. Right now, I’m helpless!"

"All right then."

Ling Feng felt somewhat dejected and turned to the others, "I want to ask first, who among us can swim?"

Aside from Huaihua and Xun Qianqian, the rest nodded their heads.

But Zhou Yi bitterly laughed, "Being able to swim is useless here. I believe everyone is the same as me; we can swim, but we can’t stay in the water for too long. The situation here is clear, just knowing how to swim is not enough!"

After hearing this, Ling Feng also found it sensible, so he scratched his head in confusion, "Then what should we do?"

"It’s not that there are no methods, they’re just foolish ones and very inconvenient, such as diving with an air tube, or using submersible equipment, but all of that is troublesome and can’t cover this large an area!" Zhou Yi explained.

Ling Feng nodded and then said helplessly, "We still need to find a way, right? We can’t just stop at The Fifth Layer. I want to see what other worlds lie ahead!"

"Take your time thinking, there must be a way!" said Zhou Yi consolingly!

At that moment, Li Fei’er suddenly spoke up, "Uncle, why don’t you learn to dive?"

"Huh?"

Ling Feng paused for a moment and turned to her, "Can diving help you stay underwater longer?"

"Once you learn diving, you can carry an oxygen tank and stay underwater for half an hour longer, right? It seems so!" said Li Fei’er.

"Doesn’t seem very useful, but it’s still better than not being able to go underwater at all!"

Ling Feng nodded and looked at everyone, "Then let’s do that for now, I’ll learn to dive tomorrow. First, I need to gather enough Spirit Stones I owe to Old Chen, and then we’ll think of other solutions slowly!"

...

...

After leaving Nine Heavens and returning home, it was already midnight.

Ling Feng noticed several missed calls on his phone and, seeing they were from Wang Laogen, immediately understood.

He promptly called back and soon heard the old man’s dissatisfied muttering, "Why are you only calling now, what were you busy with!"

"Just busy, has the auction ended?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.

"It’s ended, guess how much it sold for?" asked Wang Laogen with a chuckle.

Ling Feng, "I can’t be bothered to guess, just tell me. What I’m more concerned about is, after those Spirit Stones were auctioned off, how will they take them away? Aren’t they afraid of Yu Linglong and others robbing them?"

"That’s where everyone shows their magical powers. Without a diamond drill, no one dares to undertake such a delicate task. Anyway, so far, no one has snatched away any Spirit Stones!" Wang Laogen laughed.

"It doesn’t matter, it’s not our responsibility if they get stolen. Everything went smoothly, right?" Ling Feng asked.

Wang Laogen, "It was okay. When people first heard that the Giant Spirit Stone was gone, it indeed caused dissatisfaction among many. But once we brought out Spirit Stones the size of fists, people only cared about bidding, forgetting everything else!"

"So how much did it sell for in the end? Hurry up and tell me!" Ling Feng still couldn’t help himself and asked impatiently.

Wang Laogen chuckled, "I thought you weren’t interested. Sit tight first, I’m afraid you’ll fall flat on the floor when you hear the amount!"

"Stop it, what have I not seen before?" Ling Feng said nonchalantly.

"Okay then, listen up. Ten Spirit Stones were sold, and after deducting various expenses, a net total of three billion, six hundred seventy-two million, eight hundred forty thousand..."

Ling Feng didn’t let Wang Laogen finish before a thump was heard through the phone, prompting him to quickly ask, "Hey, Ling Feng, are you alright?"

"No, no problem. That rascal Sun Hao has been breaking all the chairs in my house!" came Ling Feng’s irritated voice.

Wang Laogen snickered, knowing the excuse was just to cover up being astounded by the three billion US dollars!

He didn’t say anything and quietly listened, waiting for what would come next.

There was a clatter on Ling Feng’s end before his voice came through again, "With so much money, don’t we have to pay taxes on it?"
