Chapter 60: Take the treasure by surprise
“Where’s your item?” Zhou Changtong cautiously put away the Divine Ice Fruit.
“I brought it!” Lin Chongyue took a deep breath and pulled out a storage ring.
Qin Feng also held his breath. He was curious about what kind of extraordinary treasure the Lin family would bring to trade.
“Take it out and let’s see!” Zhou Changtong swallowed hard.
“All right!” Lin Chongyue retrieved a spiritual fruit from the ring.
The fruit was entirely fiery red.
As soon as it appeared, the surrounding fire elemental energy became extraordinarily active.
In Qin Feng’s vision, a screen automatically appeared:
Item Name: Divine Fire Fruit
Category: Rare Object (Extremely Rare)
Effect: Increases fire elemental sensitivity.
Remark: Consumable; humans can also directly eat it.
My heavens!
Another legendary divine fruit!
This Divine Fire Fruit was on par with the Divine Ice Fruit, both being rare treasures.
It was the only item on Earth capable of enhancing fire elemental sensitivity, making it incredibly valuable.
Qin Feng’s heart burned with desire. His fire elemental talent was the weakest.
If he could obtain this Divine Fire Fruit, it would significantly improve his abilities.
In short, whether it was the Divine Fire Fruit or the Divine Ice Fruit, both would greatly benefit him.
Qin Feng was thoroughly tempted. He had made up his mind—he wanted all three divine fruits.
However, Qin Feng kept his composure.
The two individuals in front of him were stronger than he was, so he had to proceed cautiously.
After all, this was the real world, not the God-Level Challenge Space—death here meant true death.
At this moment, Zhou Changtong stared at the Divine Fire Fruit with fiery eyes.
“Is there more?” Zhou Changtong swallowed again, greed flashing in his gaze.
“Only one!” Lin Chongyue frowned. “We already discussed this! Besides, even if there were two, you wouldn’t need them!”
The Divine Fire Fruit and Divine Ice Fruit only worked for the first one consumed. Additional ones were ineffective.
“Hehe! Just asking!” Zhou Changtong chuckled dryly. “Did you bring the other items?”
“I did!”
Lin Chongyue then retrieved a crystal bottle.
Inside it was a red liquid, emitting a faint glow even in the dark.
Qin Feng looked at the red liquid.
Item Name: Imperial Flowing Elixir (Fire)
Category: Rare Object (Extremely Rare)
Effect: Quickly enhances fire elemental cultivation and rapidly condenses star patterns.
Remark: Consumable; humans can refine it.
Hiss—!
Another shocking treasure!
Qin Feng drew in a sharp breath.
The value of this bottle of Imperial Flowing Elixir (Fire) was comparable to the Divine Ice Fruit, likely exceeding billions.
The Lin family had invested heavily this time.
Even if it cost him his life, Qin Feng was determined to take these treasures!
Qin Feng discreetly put away his phone.
He had already taken enough evidence—it was time to act.
He pulled out a remote-controlled bomb and gently placed it in the nearby bushes.
Under the cover of darkness, no one noticed it.
Using his Ice Concealment Technique, Qin Feng crept closer to the two.
At this moment, Zhou Changtong and Lin Chongyue were both carefully watching each other, alert to any sudden moves.
“Not bad! This is indeed the Imperial Flowing Elixir! Your men… Hehe!” Zhou Changtong almost let something slip but quickly laughed it off.
The greed in his eyes grew even stronger, making Lin Chongyue uneasy.
For some reason, Lin Chongyue felt that Zhou Changtong seemed odd, exuding an invisible pressure.
“Hurry up and make the exchange! This is Luo Hua Mountain, full of beasts. It’s no place to linger…” Lin Chongyue urged.
“Hehe! All right!” Zhou Changtong grinned strangely.
Then, he placed two Divine Ice Fruits into a storage ring, while Lin Chongyue placed the Divine Fire Fruit and the Imperial Flowing Elixir (Fire) into another ring.
The two began exchanging rings.
But just as their fingers touched the rings, Qin Feng pressed the remote control button.
Boom—!
The bomb exploded!
In the stillness of the midnight, the sudden explosion was especially loud.
Startled, Zhou Changtong and Lin Chongyue immediately turned toward the source of the blast.
Taking advantage of their distraction, Qin Feng made his move.
In a flash, he dashed to their side, snatching both storage rings with one swift motion.
Haha! The treasures are mine!
“Not good!”
“Damn it!”
Zhou Changtong and Lin Chongyue were both shocked and furious.
They hadn’t expected a third person to be hiding nearby.
The two quickly pursued Qin Feng.
“Who’s there? Show yourself!” Zhou Changtong launched a fiery punch toward Qin Feng’s direction.
The punch transformed into a blazing firestorm, sweeping forward.
Boom—!
The punch missed, scattering sparks everywhere!
Qin Feng dodged the attack but revealed his position in the process.
At that moment, Lin Chongyue’s attack arrived as well.
Dozens of sand serpents lunged toward Qin Feng, attempting to entangle him.
Drawing his Blood Bone Sword, Qin Feng moved swiftly. With a flurry of sword strikes, he shredded all the sand serpents.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Feng broke through the encirclement—only to face Zhou Changtong’s staff smashing toward him.
Qin Feng shifted his footing to evade, but Lin Chongyue shouted and slammed his palm to the ground, activating his innate ability: Hundredfold Gravity Field, directly targeting Qin Feng.
Qin Feng immediately felt an immense weight. The Earth’s gravity had multiplied a hundredfold, drastically slowing him down.
Unable to dodge Zhou Changtong’s attack in time, Qin Feng had no choice but to confront it head-on.
Zhou Changtong, a peak three-star early-stage expert, was just a step away from mid-stage.
The Fire God Staff he wielded was a top-tier weapon amplifying his power by 100%. This strike was as devastating as it could get.
Blade versus staff—an explosive clash!
Boom—!
The ground shook, and flames shot skyward!
Qin Feng was sent flying by the strike.
Fortunately, he wore a Fire Armor beneath his clothes, which absorbed much of the damage.
Even so, the sound of cracking bones was unmistakable beneath the armor.
His chest caved in, blood spurted wildly, and he was flung dozens of meters into the bushes.
At a glance, it was clear he was gravely injured.
Against two three-star experts, any other two-star peak cultivator would have been reduced to ashes.
Even a three-star early-stage expert would have been severely wounded—let alone Qin Feng, who was only at one-star peak.
“Haha! This guy’s gravely injured!” Zhou Changtong laughed triumphantly.
“Hurry and retrieve our items!” Lin Chongyue was worried about losing the treasures.
The two rushed toward the bushes and saw Qin Feng lying motionless on the ground, seemingly dead.
But as they approached, their expressions changed drastically.
All that was left was a bloody garment—there was no sign of anyone!
“Not good! He got away!” Lin Chongyue’s face turned grim.
Qin Feng’s Ice Concealment Technique was excellent at hiding his presence, making him hard to track.
“Damn it! That guy must be a three-star early-stage expert!” Zhou Changtong fumed.
Only a three-star early-stage expert could survive their combined attack.
“Wait! Zhou Changtong, look at these footprints…” Lin Chongyue, more observant, noticed a trail of blood droplets leading in a direction.
Clearly, Qin Feng was injured. While his Ice Concealment Technique allowed him to escape, the blood trail betrayed him.
The two exchanged glances and began following the blood trail.
But after they left, Qin Feng reappeared from his original spot.
He had deliberately misled them, creating a fake trail to lure them away.
As for his injuries, they had already been healed by the beast cores he had consumed earlier.
