Chen Feng looked shocked. To others, the spirit stone might be just a strange stone that could at most improve the physique of ordinary people.
But for cultivators, this thing is much more precious than gold. Spiritual stones are divided into top grade, top grade, medium grade and low grade, with low grade being the lowest grade.
Although this is only a low-grade spiritual stone, it is still very precious.
Take the charging of a mobile phone as an analogy. If you practice in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, it will charge at an ordinary speed, but with spiritual stones, it will charge super fast.
In addition to being used for daily practice, it is also a must-have for the state of seclusion. It is also very important in the process of elixir refining and weapon refining.
After all, the process of refining elixirs and refining weapons requires too much spiritual energy, and a single spiritual stone can restore a lot of true energy instantly.
Chen Feng was silent for a while, looked at the spirit stone in his hand, and said softly: "Mr. Xiong, you may not know the importance of this spirit stone."
"If possible, I would give 10 million in exchange for this spiritual stone."
You can earn more money, but spiritual stones are an extremely important cultivation resource even in the world of cultivation, not to mention the earth where spiritual energy is scarce and resources are scarce.
"My little friend, what do you mean? I'm not happy if you say that."
Mr. Xiong's face sank and he glared at Chen Feng, "I'll give it to you as I said. Don't ask me for money. It's useless for me to ask for money."
Jiang Yuande on the side also nodded. For Mr. Xiong, his wish is more important than anything else.
"Take it, the best way you can repay Mr. Xiong is to help him find his old friend."
"In that case, thank you, Mr. Xiong."
Chen Feng was no longer polite. Jiang Yuande was right.
But my excited heart couldn't calm down for a long time. I recited the cultivation mantra several times before calming down.
"With this spiritual stone, I can refine the Earth Yuan Dan when I go back, and I don't have to worry about not having enough true energy."
He had been reluctant to take action before because he was not sure enough. After all, he had very few opportunities.
Now with this low-grade spiritual stone, the success rate of Diyuan Dan is no longer a problem.
Several hours later, the group finally arrived at the border.
Old Xiong's face became more and more solemn, and his mood became more and more uneasy.
For this old man, maybe this will be the last chance. What Chen Feng said in advance is true.
"Get off the car, Mr. Xiong."
Jiang Yuande said.
"Doctor Chen, we are close to the border, and the road is not easy to walk. I don't know where the place you mentioned is?"
Chen Feng took out his compass, took a look at it, and pointed in a direction, "Ten miles further."
In a mountain village, a little girl sat in front of the door and basked in the sun, staring blankly at the scene in front of her.
The sun set on her body. Sometimes she looked into the distance with a look of longing, and sometimes her eyes showed a hint of fear.
She knew that soon, the old man in the hospital bed would die.
She is her only relative. Both her parents are dead and she only has her great-grandmother.
Grandma said she was going to die, so would she be the only one left?
So what is she going to do?
Cooking alone, cooking alone?
She already understands this, but she is only five years old and seems not tall enough.
“Where do people go after they die?
Become a star like mom and dad?"
The little girl looked confused. Although she had never been to school, she still had a vague understanding of the concept of death, which meant that she would never be seen again.
"Old Xiong, we're here."
Right here, in front of her, several soldiers in military uniforms suddenly appeared.
"Grandma, the bad guys are coming."
The little girl got up and ran into the house, then hurriedly closed the door.
Inside the house, an old woman was lying on the hospital bed, dying, with a faint breath.
After hearing the little girl's words, the pair of muddy eyes slowly opened, "Xiaoxin... let's go..."
She struggled to spit out three words. Her brain was a little slow, but her sanity was still there.
"Grandma, where are you going?"
The little girl looked at her.
The old woman struggled to get up and took out a few crumpled coins and a photo from under the pillow.
In the photo, there is a couple wearing military uniforms with faint smiles on their faces.
Putting the photo and coins into the little girl's hand, "Let's go..."
Her breath was very weak, and her heart was anxious, but she could no longer take another half step forward.
Her life was coming to an end, and she had a premonition of death.
Right here, there was a knock on the door.
"Is anyone home?"
Mr. Xiong took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.
He didn't get any response. The door was ajar, so he opened it and walked in.
Right here, a young figure rushed out.
Everyone saw this scene and just glanced at it. They just thought it was a child going out to play and didn't take it seriously.
Only Chen Feng followed.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, the old woman moved her eyebrows, but she no longer had the strength to answer. She was so tired that she almost fell asleep.
Mr. Xiong walked into the house, and then he saw a familiar figure.
"Xiuling, is that you?"
He called softly.
Although he was asking questions, Mr. Xiong was already excited in his heart, it was her!
He would never forget that figure.
Hearing the word "Xiu Ling", the old woman slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the old man. She didn't see who it was in her cloudy eyes.
"Who are you?"
"I'm a little bear, Sister Xiuling."
Old Xiong's eyes filled with tears.
"You're back?"
The old woman just murmured, a smile reminiscing on her lips.
Her little bear must have come to pick her up. Her eyes opened, then slowly closed, and she fell asleep forever.
On the other side, the little girl kept running out like crazy.
She didn't know where she was going. She only knew that her great-grandmother told her to go, so she left, holding a photo in her hand and some money crumpled into a ball.
"Hey, rabbit, it's a little rabbit, grandma, rabbit."
The little girl said happily, and then ran towards the little rabbit.
What she didn't know was that behind her, there was a black shadow slowly approaching, it was a cheetah.
"rabbit."
The little girl slowly walked towards the rabbit, and the cheetah behind her was also slowly approaching.
The cheetah's eyes were cold as it stared at its prey. It suddenly moved its feet and pounced on the little girl.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and a huge fist hit the cheetah.
It is Chen Feng.
Chen Feng grabbed the rabbit smoothly, and a faint ray of true energy entered the rabbit's body to prevent it from beating.
"Do you want it given to you by uncle?"
The little girl nodded, took the rabbit, and handed the photo and money to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was dumbfounded, this little girl still knew how to use money to buy things.
"How about going home with uncle?
Uncle will take you to find your family."
Chen Feng stretched out his hand.
Perhaps seeing that Chen Feng had no ill intentions, the little girl nodded and lay obediently in Chen Feng's arms.
"At such a young age, my health is so poor. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I won't survive more than two years."
Chen Feng sighed.
This little girl has been malnourished for a long time. She probably weighs less than 20 kilograms and is as thin as skin and bones.
"dad."
The little girl lying in her arms suddenly shouted, and then hugged Chen Feng tightly.
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, realized something, and sniffed.
"I'm not your father, but you can live with your grandpa in the future. You should study more and be strong."
"Read and be strong."
The little girl nodded in understanding, as if these two words were engraved in her bones.
Thirty years later, this calm and sharp-tongued diplomat still remembers these words.
"Go to sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up."
Chen Feng murmured, and a ray of true energy penetrated into the little girl's sleeping hole.
The little girl quickly fell asleep in his arms. After putting the little girl down, Chen Feng took out a silver needle and began to comb the other person's body.
After a while, he returned to Old Xiong's place again.
"Thank you, little friend."
Old Xiong looked tired, with a touch of sadness on his face.
"Mr. Xiong, this is your bloodline. She should call you great-grandfather."
Old Xiong was shocked, his eyes suddenly blurred with tears, and he took the child with trembling hands.
For so many years, before he got married, he had been looking for Xiuling. Unexpectedly, Xiuling was pregnant with his flesh and blood.
"Mr. Xiong, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time with the addition of such a child."
Chen Feng laughed.
Mr. Xiong laughed and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard."
"My dear friend, I won't thank you enough for your kindness, but you still have to be careful, I'm afraid someone is already targeting you."
