Level 5 Renewable Resources, Sister-in-Law Takes the Initiative

Cao Fengqi was currently in the area between the southern and western sides of Desolate Town.

Now, he planned to head toward the eastern and southern sides.

He would circle the edge of the Mystic Devouring Beasts' territory to the east and see if he could get his hands on those three level 5 resources.

In fact, he still wasn't very confident about obtaining the Transcendent Sequence Rune.

He wasn't completely sure the Mystic Devouring Beast would be lured away by the Sinister Music Box.

Nor had he confirmed whether there was only one Mystic Devouring Beast as powerful as the one he had just seen.

If I can improve my strength or get some level 5 metal material to use as bait, I'll have a better chance of obtaining the Transcendent Sequence Rune.

As he considered this, Cao Fengqi returned to his real-world shelter and brought all his equipment and weapons.

This time, circling around from the east to Klein the Apothecary's Shop would be no short trip.

Cao Fengqi had yet to explore the eastern side, so it was a complete mystery to him.

He needed to be prepared.

[Scan complete within a one-kilometer radius: 5 level 1 resources, 1 level 2 resource, 1 level 3 resource.]

"What the hell? Is the eastern side of Cangxuan Town a slum? Or did the Mystic Devouring Beasts clean it out?"

Cao Fengqi headed east along the edge of the Mystic Devouring Beasts' territory, proceeding cautiously for over an hour.

Yet the highest-level resource he scanned was only level 3.

He didn't even encounter a Ghost-Faced Spider or a Calamity Rat.

He strongly suspected this area was Desolate Town's slum. Even a rat would leave in tears.

"I should be getting close to those three level 5 resources."

As speechless as he was, those ordinary resources had never been Cao Fengqi's goal.

He looked into the distance and continued forward.

[Scan complete within a one-kilometer radius: 3 new level 1 resources, 1 new level 2 resource, 3 new level 5 resources.]

Five minutes later, a notification appeared. When Cao Fengqi saw the three level 5 resources on his cheat, his face filled with anticipation.

"They really are over this way."

He murmured under his breath, excitement burning in his heart, and crept forward with the Mystic Cold Saber in hand.

Nine hundred meters... seven hundred meters... five hundred meters... three hundred meters...

[Scan complete within a one-kilometer radius: 1 new level 5 resource, 1 new level 6 resource. Transcendent Sequence Rune detected.]

When Cao Fengqi came within three hundred meters of the three level 5 resources, the Transcendent Sequence Rune appeared within his range.

He immediately looked in that direction, tense.

The Mystic Devouring Beast with an undigested level 5 resource inside it had returned to the Transcendent Sequence Rune. It lay there quietly, motionless.

When I was only wearing the Evil Concealment Armor, that Mystic Devouring Beast detected me from about two hundred meters away.

Now that I'm carrying a level 4 resource, it might detect me from farther away. But the three level 5 resources are six or seven hundred meters from the Transcendent Sequence Rune, so I probably don't need to take off my equipment.

Cao Fengqi made his calculations and hesitated for a moment, but kept his weapon with him.

Two hundred meters... one hundred meters...

The closer Cao Fengqi got to his target, the more nervous he became.

Level 5 resources!

Even if they were only metal materials, they would be valuable and extremely useful to him.

"Huh? There's a light. Could it be a spirit herb?"

He held his breath nervously and looked toward the three level 5 resources, now only seventy or eighty meters away.

A pure white light stood out sharply against the darkness of this world.

"The ground here is strange."

Cao Fengqi looked down at the soil beneath his feet. It felt noticeably different.

It was loose and soft, with a hint of dryness, unlike the rain-soaked mud everywhere else.

[Spirit soil polluted by evil energy: level 0 quality]

[Effect: pollution has turned it into ordinary soil.]

"It actually has attributes? Polluted spirit soil?"

Cao Fengqi examined it and wondered, Could this be a medicine garden? That apothecary's medicine garden?

He looked around again, and when the script gave no warning of danger, he continued approaching bit by bit.

Everything was going more smoothly than he had imagined.

Soon, two flowers came into view. Their petals were a lustrous white, and their centers shone with a soft white light like candle flames.

The two seemingly ordinary white flowers were mysterious, serene, and sacred, driving away the surrounding darkness.

When Cao Fengqi saw the flowers' attributes, his mouth fell slightly open.

[Radiant Sun Flower: level 5 quality]

[Effect: gives off an aura repulsive to evil spirits and evil beasts. Can even purify weak Blood Spirit Evil Beasts. Has produced two level 5 quality blossoms. Moonlight Stone, Moonlight Marrow, and other materials can be used as nutrients to make its blossoms bloom faster.]

[Radiant Sun Blossom: level 5 quality] ×2

[Effect: can be consumed directly, used to refine medicine, or used to make evil-repelling water. Direct consumption increases constitution and spiritual power by 5 points each. Note: each additional blossom consumed reduces its medicinal effect by 20%.]

Cao Fengqi looked at the Radiant Sun Flower and its blossoms, his eyes growing a little misty.

What the hell was a surprise?

This was a surprise!

For the past few days, he'd been chased around like a dog while trying to obtain treasures, yet now he had obtained three level 5 resources so easily.

They were spirit flowers, too. And what excited him most was that he could cultivate the Radiant Sun Flower himself.

He could use Moon Spirit Stones and Moonlight Marrow to make it produce blossoms continually.

"Fuck, after several days of bad luck, I finally got lucky!!"

"This Radiant Sun Flower is worth a fortune. If I consume the blossoms, I can gain 9 points of constitution and 9 points of spiritual power. Those 9 points of constitution are incredibly important for tomorrow's operation!"

Cao Fengqi broke into a grin.

He reached out and picked the two blossoms, then consumed them without hesitation.

A delicate fragrance filled his mouth as the petals entered it, and he swallowed them all along with his saliva.

Then he carefully dug up the Radiant Sun Flower along with a large clump of soil and, with a thought, returned directly to his real-world shelter.

There happened to be a potted plant his sister-in-law had bought in the living room. Cao Fengqi left his room, removed the flowers from the pot, and planted the Radiant Sun Flower in it. After a moment's hesitation, he took a piece of Moonlight Marrow and buried it in the soil.

"Fengqi, what are you doing?"

"Do you need my help?"

Just then, the door to the room beside him opened, and a quiet voice came from within.

Cao Fengqi turned and saw his sister-in-law in her pajamas. He answered softly, "I got a spirit flower in the Lost Land and put it in a pot to grow. I'm already done."

"Mm."

Liu Chunying looked at him and paused before thanking him. "Thank you for all your hard work for this family."

"It's nothing."

Cao Fengqi smiled faintly.

"You must be tired. Dabao and Xiaobao are already asleep. How about I give you a massage? Um... well... to help ease your physical fatigue."

A soft, gentle voice reached him the next second, leaving him momentarily stunned.

????

His sister-in-law wanted to give him a massage?

The faint glow of the Moonlight Stone lit the living room. Liu Chunying held her hands behind her back, her fingers nervously gripping each other.

Her head was slightly lowered. The Moonlight Stone's light was too dim to show the blush on her cheeks clearly, and even her neck was flushed red.
