My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 688: The Changes of the Delicate Sprout

In the silence of the night, after settling his two wives, Qin Feng returned to his own quarters to cultivate.

With the Primordial Immortal Qi now descending upon the world, he no longer needed to borrow Su Tianyue’s Heavenly Reflecting Stone from the Fox Whispering Pavilion.

Closing his eyes, he activated his White Gold Destiny Star, allowing the surging Primordial Immortal Qi and Netherworld Demonic Qi to flow into his Divine Sea, strengthening the yin-yang energies within.

These Yin and Yang energies were the Candle Dragon’s remaining divinity left in this world. According to Master Baili’s instructions, by refining it with the Primordial Immortal Qi and the Netherworld Demonic Qi, he had a chance to comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang and further empower himself.

Time passed by in a hurry, and after a long time, Qin Feng took out a breath and sighed, “The Primordial Immortal Qi and Netherworld Demonic Qi in the Imperial City are still a little less than in Jinyang City.”

This was because the Imperial City was supervised by the Divine Guardian and the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower, so there were no rifts between the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld Realm within a thousand mile radius, so the concentrations of Immortal Qi and Netherworld Demonic Qi were much lower than elsewhere.

However, the spiritual qi was much denser here, which explained why his younger brother had mentioned in his letter that the cultivation speed of the imperial troops had skyrocketed, and their strength had far surpassed that of the past.

After all, for those beyond the Fourth Realm, Spiritual Qi was the most practical cultivation resource.

At that moment, Qin Feng suddenly noticed some changes in his Divine Sea.

As he turned his Divine Sense inward, he saw the delicate green lightning sprout that he had obtained after passing the Heaven And Earth Hegemony seal. Its body swayed slightly, then it shot out of the Divine Sea and manifested in the physical world.

The previously quiet night erupted into a fierce storm as the spiritual qi in the sky and earth of the Imperial City rushed toward the tender sprout, all of which was absorbed by it.

Amidst the howling wind, there seemed to be faint cries, almost like a newborn baby cheering joyfully.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel curious. Why had he never seen such a scene when he was in Jinyang City?

“When I unleash my domain, the Qilin and this being often appear together. The Qilin represents the power of annihilating thunder, while this entity carries a gentle power to heal all things. In other words, it represents the power of life.”

“Could it be that the presence of the Netherwolrd Realm Rift in Jinyang City made the environment too heavy with death and displeased it, which is why it has not manifested until now?” Qin Feng speculated.

The violent suction continued for a long time, naturally causing disturbances in the city.

The Spiritual Qi in the Imperial City was extremely abundant, so it was only natural for ordinary soldiers to cultivate diligently day and night to improve their cultivation.

However, many soldiers who lived at home and cultivated well suddenly could not feel Spiritual Qi at all.

“What’s going on?” Every soldier was completely confused and did not know what to do.

It was only after half an hour that the delicate seedling seemed to have had enough and stopped its activity.

But its changes did not stop there. The soft green glow emanating from it intensified, bathing the plants and trees in the courtyard in its radiance, causing them to blossom and grow rapidly.

The plants shot up, reaching almost half a person’s height, while the two large trees by the wall grew over thirty feet tall before finally stopping.

What surprised Qin Feng even more was that after the green glow faded, the green tender sprout had grown to the size of a palm, resembling a white ball.

On top of the white ball was the green sprout, with thick thumb-sized limbs extending from the sides, and two shiny black eyes appearing, giving it an adorable, naive look.

It floated in the air, gazing around in confusion until its gaze finally settled on Qin Feng, its small eyes filled with joy.

With a chirp, the white ball darted towards Qin Feng and nuzzled his cheek affectionately.

The first thing Qin Feng noticed was how smooth, delicate, and jade-like it felt.

He gently plucked the little creature from his cheek and cradled it in his palm, staring at it as it stared back at him with its big eyes. Eventually, the little creature seemed to lose the staring contest, and it deflated a bit as it flopped down in Qin Feng’s palm and remained still.

Qin Feng recalled the fragmented visions he had experienced when he passed the Heaven And Earth Confirmation Of Hegemony.

In the vast red thunder pool, the sky was pitch black as far as the eye could see. 

The Thunder Qilin was trapped in the thunder pool by countless golden chains. It kept struggling and roaring, but the chains became tighter and tighter. 

Sizzling corrosion sounds rang out, causing the Qilin to go berserk with pain.

At that moment, a figure appeared in front of it, cupping the green tender sprout in his palm, and the green light healed the qilin’s injuries.

A man’s voice echoed, “One day, someone will come and free you from this place, free you from the restrictions of the Three Realms. For now, you must wait patiently for his arrival.”

Upon hearing these words, the Lightning Qilin stopped its frenzy, curled up, and rested quietly in the lightning pool.

It was because Qin Feng had witnessed this scene that when he defused the Qilin’s attack, he was able to gently suggest that he take it with him, successfully luring it to him.

And this little white ball could be considered a pleasant surprise.

Over the past half year, Qin Feng became more and more surprised by the supernatural powers of Qilin and white ball, and he also became strongly curious about their true identities. 

Qin Feng had originally planned to ask the well-informed Senior Xuan Yi about the Qilin and Little White orb, as they were certainly not of this world. 

However, since Senior Xuan Yi lent his power to him, he still hasn’t woken up until now. 

Qin Feng looked down at the little white ball resting comfortably in his palm, and gently poked its belly with a finger. The little one wiggled its limbs, seemingly ticklish.

“What are you?” Qin Feng spoke out loud, but only received chirps in response.

…

The next morning, Qin Feng made his way to the study, glancing around carefully to make sure no one was following him before quietly entering and closing the door behind him.

Somehow, the murmuring voice of his late father had echoed in his mind last night, reminding him of the strange dream he had during his coma in the Southern Domain.

In the dream, his father had said that he had hidden some private savings in the study, behind the wall on the third shelf of the bookshelf.

For the past half a year, Qin Feng had not paid much attention to that dream and had gradually forgotten about it. However, on his first night back at the Qin Mansion, the memory had resurfaced and felt even more vivid than before.

Locating the spot, he tapped on the wall. 

*Thud thud* 

It was hollow.

Qin Feng’s eyes widened as he removed the bricks, revealing a wooden jewelry box!

“So there really was something here?”

As he opened the box, Qin Feng’s eyes filled with the sorrow that had been dormant for half a year. 

He really regretted it, really! 

Otherwise, why would the head of the family, who carefully hid his private money, only have a mere thirty taels… 

“Father, I’m so sorry,” Qin Feng choked out.
