Chapter 120 Ghost Insect Nest
The following day.
Outside the window, the sky had not yet completely brightened.
After Shen Feng had agreed to participate in the medical competition last night, he went home and shared dinner with his parents.
After the meal, the family sat together for a warm chat.
Having practiced Emperor King Jue all night, the momentum within his body had stabilized significantly, and now he was only one step away from stepping into the Innate state.
Once he entered the Innate state, with the freakish abilities of Emperor King Jue, he could absorb the power of all things in the world.
Similarly, once he stepped into the Innate state, the various abilities of the Emperor King Jue would come to light, and he would no longer need to rely on his Spirit Storage Body to purify the spiritual energy. Enjoy more content from empire
Any energy that entered his body would be purified by Emperor King Jue, and as his strength increased, the degree of purification by Emperor King Jue would also grow stronger.
He checked the time; it was only five o'clock.
He stood up and walked to the window, noticing a car parked outside the villa.
Isn't that Cai Zhi's car!
Shen Feng went downstairs and left the villa, and through the car window, he could see Cai Zhi sitting in the driver's seat, dozing off.
After sending Shen Feng back to Splendid Garden yesterday, Cai Zhi had originally planned to rest, but he pondered that it was not easy to meet the master, so he had to firmly grasp this opportunity! Surely the master would need a car tomorrow.
Therefore, he drove to the front of villa number eight overnight, ready to spend the night in the car.
Cai Zhi, whose eyelids were constantly fighting a battle, saw Shen Feng coming out of the villa, and his sleepiness vanished without a trace. He hurriedly opened the car door and ran up to Shen Feng, respectfully shouting, "Master, good morning!"
Shen Feng asked, "Have you been waiting here all night?"
Cai Zhi nodded and replied, "Master, I thought you would definitely need the car today, so I simply waited here."
Shen Feng was somewhat helpless, "You, don't you have your own things to take care of? Don't you have your own company?"
Cai Zhi spoke with utmost sincerity, "What could be more important than attending to you, Master?"
Shen Feng turned and walked back towards the villa. As he was about to enter the door, he said, "Come in and sit for a while, and have some breakfast. Afterward, you can take me to Nine Dragons Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Cai Zhi almost let out an excited shout; the night of waiting was indeed worthwhile. He eagerly followed Shen Feng into the villa.
Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng were still asleep, so Shen Feng personally prepared breakfast for them, and also served a bowl for Cai Zhi.
This was the first time Cai Zhi had tasted porridge with Immortal Flavor Liquid. It gave him a feeling he couldn't express in words. After devouring the bowl of porridge, he kept thanking Shen Feng, almost kneeling and bowing his head in gratitude for the porridge.
Shen Feng didn't plan to wake his parents too early, so he left a note on the table and then had Cai Zhi drive him to Nine Dragons Mountain.
Upon their smooth arrival at Nine Dragons Village,
Shen Feng saw that Cai Heguang was just coming down from the mountain.
After leaving yesterday, Cai Heguang had returned to continue overseeing the construction workers with Wang Daniu.
Cai Heguang brushed off the dust on his body and hurriedly ran up to Shen Feng and Cai Zhi, exclaiming, "Master, uncle."
Shen Feng gave a slight nod, saying, "I'm going up the mountain for a while, no need for you to follow me."
Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang watched Shen Feng walk towards Nine Dragons Mountain.
"That's more like it. Devote yourself to serving the master properly. I think we shouldn't take a single penny for the construction of the manor and the materials," Cai Zhi instructed.
Building such a large manor on the mountain required a substantial amount of money, and Cai Heguang felt a bit conflicted: "Uncle, this..."
Cai Zhi interrupted directly, saying, "What's this? Don't you realize this is an unmissable opportunity? Do you think the master would care about such a small amount of money? If you're not willing, I'll transfer the money to you."
Cai Heguang could only bite the bullet and said, "Uncle, I didn't say I was unwilling. You can rest assured, I won't charge a single penny."
Cai Zhi was finally satisfied, "I'm going to sleep in the car for a bit. When you see the master coming down the mountain, wake me up immediately."
Cai Heguang nodded with a bitter face. He really wanted to say he hadn't slept all night either.
...
At the time Shen Feng set foot on Nine Dragons Mountain.
Xu Dong and Fatty Qian were supervising the workers, and they quickly greeted Shen Feng with respect.
After a brief chat, Shen Feng headed to the east side of the mountain.
Last night's matters, Wang Anxiong had not told Shen Feng, nor had he called Xu Dong, Fatty Qian, and the others. He planned to come to Nine Dragons Mountain today to speak with Shen Feng in person.
Upon reaching the eastern side of Nine Dragons Mountain.
Shen Feng began to excavate along where the Spirit Stones had appeared, wanting to see how extensive this One-Star Spirit Mine really was?
After digging about five meters down.
All around, the soil was embedded with pieces of faint blue Crystal Stones.
The Lower Grade Spirit Stones were appearing more and more densely.
At the same time, Shen Feng saw a fist-sized black sphere unearthed from the ground.
This sphere was odd, why would it appear in a One-Star Spirit Mine? He picked up the sphere, wanting to sense it, when suddenly.
Out of nowhere.
One by one, insects the size of sesame seeds began to fly out of the sphere.
Ghost Insects?
The name of a kind of Monster Beast immediately came to Shen Feng's mind; in the Immortal Realm, these Ghost Insects were a very low-level type of Monster Beast.
Despite this, each Ghost Insect possessed great penetrative power, able to easily pierce through steel plates even a dozen meters thick.
Additionally, these insects released a toxic white fog, and they liked to attach themselves to human hearts, feasting on fresh organs.
The Ghost Insects swarmed towards Shen Feng; had it been an ordinary person, or even a cultivator at the Acquired State, their body might have been riddled with holes in an instant.
But when these Ghost Insects struck Shen Feng.
The air was filled with a continuous "ding, ding, ding!" as each Ghost Insect that hit Shen Feng was invariably repelled.
Although the body of the Immortal Emperor had not recovered, for these Ghost Insects to penetrate Shen Feng's body? That was purely a fool's dream.
He felt no pain from their assaults, it wasn't even enough to count as a tickle.
This black sphere in his hand must be a Ghost Insect nest; occasionally, Monster Beasts were born within Spirit Mines.
And without any food, Ghost Insects could enter an endless hibernation, their lifespans incredibly long.
It could be that the activation of this One-Star Spirit Mine had awoken all the hibernating Ghost Insects.
Now that he had discovered a Ghost Insect nest, Shen Feng naturally wouldn't ignore it; it might be useful to subdue them all.
In every Ghost Insect nest, there was always a queen; Ghost Insects reproduced through their queen, and once the queen was subjugated, all the Ghost Insects in the nest would obey your commands.
Shen Feng's Perceptive Force penetrated into the Ghost Insect nest, seeking to find and subjugate the queen among the Ghost Insects.
