Ru Jijie saw that Lu Feng actually intended to give up the chance to have Shen Tu Jiangshan make a move, and she could not help growing anxious. But seeing Lu Feng's calm demeanor, she reconsidered. Perhaps he was confident in handling those troubles himself, which was why he did not care about such an opportunity.
This made her rather curious. What was Lu Feng relying on? Even more so, what was the item Lu Feng wanted in exchange?
Lu Feng did not know what Ru Jijie was thinking. Hearing Shen Tu Jiangshan refer to the item merely as a broken wooden lump, he could not help but rejoice inwardly.
He was now certain that Shen Tu Jiangshan did not know what the item was, nor did he know its value.
No wonder he had carelessly tossed it into a corner of his Storage Ring and let it gather dust.
What a monstrous waste of Heaven's gifts!
At once, Lu Feng settled the matter decisively. He would not go back on his word.
Instead, this stirred several degrees of curiosity in Shen Tu Jiangshan. After some thought, he asked, "Kid, do you recognize this thing?"
At this point, everyone curiously looked toward the small black wooden lump Shen Tu Jiangshan had taken out. Judging by its appearance alone, it looked entirely like a piece of charcoal left after burning, except it carried a dark, jade-like luster. Upon careful sensing, it did not give off the slightest burnt smell.
Instead, there was a fresh woody fragrance, and one could vaguely detect a cryptic, profound aura fluctuation hidden within.
Lu Feng nodded without confirming or denying it. Of course he recognized the Xinmu Core. If he had not, why would he give up the opportunity to have someone like Shen Tu Jiangshan
