Qin Feng had originally thought that Senior Sister Xuelian, whom he had yet to meet, had probably picked all the Spirit Gourds. He never expected such a pleasant turn of events.

A hint of joy appeared on Qin Feng’s face as he gazed at the azure gourd swaying on the Exotic Gourd Spirit Root. He flew up and effortlessly plucked the mature, azure Spirit Gourd.

The Spirit Gourd was cool to the touch, like a piece of cold jade. As it left the Spirit Vine, Qin Feng watched in amazement as the azure Spirit Gourd began to transform. Its blue color gradually faded away as wisps of cold air billowed from it, turning it into a gourd that looked as if it were carved from Ice Crystal.

It was an Ice-Sealed Gourd.

Stroking the small gourd’s crystalline texture, Qin Feng felt as if he could see the colors of a frozen world, as if the very essence of an ancient glacier was contained within.

His gaze trembled as he took a sharp breath. Qin Feng had a strong intuition that if he were to unstop the gourd, it would unleash an unimaginable power.

Freezing a thousand miles, with snow drifting for ten thousand more!

"What a magnificent treasure!"

With burning intensity in his eyes, Qin Feng stroked the small gourd, unable to put it down. This Ice-Sealed Gourd was undeniably an exceptionally rare Treasure of Heaven and Earth.

He casually stored the Treasure Gourd within his Blue Sea and Heaven. Inside was a Cold Soul Spirit Spring, and if he let the Ice-Sealed Gourd nurture within it for a while, its power would likely grow even stronger.

Now, the Exotic Gourd Spirit Vine was completely bare.

’One Spiritual Root only produces a single Spirit Gourd!’

’This thing is truly precious!’

Lifting his head, Qin Feng gazed at the Gourd Spiritual Root with burning desire. He felt a deep sense of regret. If it were possible, he would have loved to transplant the entire thing.

’What a pity. Within my Chaotic Five Directions Heaven, only the Blue Sea and Heaven has manifested so far. Vitality will only emerge once the Green Wood Heaven and Earth has also fully formed, allowing it to sustain living things!’

Qin Feng continued onward.

The Stone Forest was filled with towering pillars, giving it a vast, desolate appearance.

After wandering through the vast Stone Forest for four hours, Qin Feng came across several Gourd Vines that were hundreds of years old.

He even found a thousand-year-old Gourd Vine, which bore a good number of Spirit Gourds. Qin Feng picked a few and stored them away.

An hour later, as Qin Feng searched deeper into the Stone Forest, he suddenly felt the Spiritual Qi ahead grow much denser.

At the same time, the Origin of his Blue Sea and Heaven began to tremble with increasing intensity.

’Looks like the Array Hub is just ahead!’

His eyes lit up. Qin Feng shot off in the direction of the trembling Origin, moving as fast as lightning.

A few dozen breaths later, a massive Spiritual Spring appeared before his eyes.

’It’s another Spiritual Spring!’

Qin Feng was slightly stunned; this was the fourth Spiritual Spring he had encountered. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The first was the Cold Soul Spirit Spring in the Shengyu Glacier, which was formed by the condensation of Cold Ice Essence Qi. Qin Feng had forcibly absorbed it into his Blue Sea and Heaven, thereby activating that space.

The second was the Earth Vein Clear Spring on Heavenly Red Peak. It contained the Essence of the Earth Veins, and the peak’s Cave Guardian Spirit Object, the Green Water Golden Lotus, was rooted within it.

He couldn’t touch that one, as it was the public property of All Stars Academy.

The third was the Seven-Star Dragon Spring in the True Dragon Ancient Cave, a pool formed from countless years of accumulated Dragon Qi Essence. That Spiritual Spring was monopolized by the True Dragon Divine Wood.

It was the exclusive property of the True Dragon Divine Wood.

However, Qin Feng had taken advantage of the True Dragon Divine Wood’s moment of weakness to steal a good hundred tons of it.

The one before him now was the fourth Spiritual Spring he had ever seen.

But this Spiritual Spring was different.

He stared intently at the rushing spring, his eyes blazing. Its waters were as green as jadeite and as clear as carnelian. This was unmistakably the Spring of Life from the ancient records.

Qin Feng trembled and gasped. He never imagined that Gourd Valley would contain such a Treasure of Heaven and Earth.

The Vital Essence in the spring water was so dense it was almost tangible.

The Spring of Life was a true holy font of healing, capable of reviving the dead and regenerating flesh from bone!

’Take it. Take it all!’

Qin Feng’s eyes grew brighter and brighter as he unconsciously walked closer. He failed to notice a pile of clothes stacked on a rock just a short distance from the spring’s edge.

SPLASH!

Suddenly, a splash echoed. Qin Feng’s gaze followed the sound, and he saw a cascade of black hair in the spring. A completely naked Mermaid appeared before his eyes.

Her ample, snow-white skin glistened with the splashing water. Her tall, exquisitely-shaped figure formed an impossibly seductive curve.

Most importantly...

Qin Feng’s gaze traveled downward!

WHOOSH!

All the Blood Qi in his body rushed to his head. Qin Feng frantically circulated his Mixed Element Star Technique to refine the Blood Qi surging toward his nose.

’This is way too risqué!’

Flames of passion burned in Qin Feng’s eyes, but a strange feeling soon welled up within him.

’I feel like I’ve seen this woman somewhere before!’

Perhaps not expecting anyone to suddenly barge in, the stunning woman froze for a moment. In the next instant, her elegant eyebrows arched in fury, and a tangible, cold glint appeared in her eyes.

"It’s you again!" Upon closer inspection, the stunning woman’s expression suddenly turned peculiar.

"It’s you!"

His expression turning awkward, Qin Feng felt the corner of his mouth twitch as a hint of embarrassment crept into his eyes.

Qin Feng now recognized the stunning woman bathing in the Spring of Life.

She was none other than the Guardian of the Seventh Palace from the Snowfield Trial: Venerable Xuelian.

’Could Venerable Xuelian be the previous Elder Cyan Dragon, Senior Sister Xuelian?!’

’This is the second time I’ve seen this senior sister naked!’

The stunning woman ground her teeth. "Qin Feng! It’s you again, you pervert!!"

Qin Feng gave an awkward laugh and hastily said, "A misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding! Senior Sister Xuelian, it’s just a coincidence!"

As he spoke, his gaze flickered, and he subtly swept another glance over his senior sister’s perfect, undulating curves in the water.

’Such long legs, and such fair skin!’

’Her body is just as good as my future wife’s!’

’I wonder what she feels like to the touch!’

Qin Feng praised her inwardly. An image of the beautiful, white-robed woman by the river appeared in his mind, and a few dirty thoughts began to churn.

"You’re still looking!" Seeing Qin Feng’s incredibly subtle gaze, Xuelian’s face went pale. Only then did she realize she was completely naked. A wave of humiliation and rage welled up inside her. With a thunderous ROAR, thousands of water droplets from the Spring of Life shot up, forming a curtain of water.

A moment later, a tall, graceful, and beautiful figure appeared by the spring’s edge.

She was dressed in a white palace gown, looking elegant and dignified, yet with a trace of alluring charm from her recent bath. A faint anger still lingered on her gorgeous face.

The beauty flicked her fair hand. In the next instant, countless Snow Lotus Petals descended upon Qin Feng from all directions. It was the Wan Hua Piaoling. Each petal was like the deadliest Sharp Blade, capable of shattering steel.

Qin Feng flinched and was about to dodge, but then he stopped. ’Oh well,’ he mused. ’Senior Sister Xuelian is furious right now. I’ll just stand here and let her blow off some steam. After all, I’m the one who came out way ahead in this exchange!’

Standing amidst the petals, Qin Feng made no move to dodge, allowing the barrage of flowers to strike him.

TING! TING! TANG!

Countless petals struck Qin Feng’s body, ringing out with the sound of metal on metal. The floral barrage couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

However, Qin Feng failed to realize that as the thousands of petals bombarded him, his clothes were shredded to pieces. And so, his own naked body was completely exposed to Xuelian’s eyes.

"Shameless!"
