C12 Winning Respect
Chu Feng felt anxious because this wasn't the first time he had experienced such a situation.
After Qinger started cultivating, her body would erupt with the power of fire every once in a while. Chu Feng called it "Fire Poison."
This flame came from Qinger's body. It was colorless and odorless, but it emitted a terrifying high temperature. Every time the Fire Poison erupted, it would destroy and torture Qinger.
Even though the power of this flame did not pose any threat to Qinger's life or death, Qinger would suffer unbearable pain every time. She rolled on the ground, every time it made Chu Feng anxious and mentally exhausted.
Furthermore, Qinger was not a direct descendant of the Chu family. Therefore, every time this fire poison erupted, Chu Feng could only bring Qinger to the family's cold storage and use the temperature in the cold storage to make Qinger feel better.
"Qinger, let's go to the underground storage."
Chu Feng carried Qinger on his back and wanted to rush out of the door.
However, Qinger struggled and said, "Young Master, don't. The underground vault is now under the control of the Third Master. If you go there, those people will definitely roll their eyes and punish you."
Qinger's eyes were tightly shut and her delicate body trembled. Although it was painful, she was determined not to go to the vault of Chu family.
The vault of Chu family was a public place, even if Chu Feng was the young patriarch. He could not take it for her. In the past, Chu Feng's father, Chu Xiaotian, was in charge of the Chu family. Therefore, even if such a thing happened, the person in charge of the treasury would turn a blind eye to it.
However, it was different now. Third Master was in a powerful position, and the treasury had already fallen under the control of the Finance Minister. All of them belonged to Third Master. If Chu Feng went there, he might suffer a loss because of this!
Qinger did not want Chu Feng to suffer because of her.
"Young Master, Qinger can bear with it. She won't die anyway."
Qinger hugged him tightly. Her slightly twisted face showed how unbearable the pain was.
"Qinger, I have said that I will not let you suffer any grievances. Let's go."
Chu Feng held Qinger with both hands and forcefully brought her to the underground vault. He did not care how Qinger struggled.
Qinger was stunned. In Chu Feng's arms, her pair of eyes that were like glass reflected her feelings.
"No one is allowed to enter the Chu family's underground vault!"
There were some guards guarding the entrance of the treasury. Those guards all shouted coldly, wanting to stop Chu Feng.
"Get lost! I have something to do!" Chu Feng's eyes were filled with killing intent as he berated.
Those guards saw that it was actually Chu Feng, and he was hugging Qinger. It was as if they had thought of something. "I remember that this young maid has a high fever all year round. In the past, she used to occupy the treasuries. Hehe, now that Third Master is in charge of the cold rooms in the treasuries, do you still want to enter and exit as you wish in the past? "
" Get lost! Forcibly trespassing will be dealt with by family law!"
Those few guards sneered. They placed their swords in front of their bodies. If Qin Feng forcefully barged in, they wouldn't mind making a move on Qin Feng! In any case, even if the patriarch were to blame them, they would still act according to the rules!
"Courting death!"
Chu Feng's left eye suddenly opened, and a trace of killing intent appeared. He rushed forward with a few quick steps, clenched his right hand into a fist, and punched at the swords and sabers of the guards.
These people knew what he was going to do, but they still tried to stop him. It was obvious that they wanted to go against him!
Chu Feng's style had always been to take revenge for what he had done!
Papapapapapa!
A series of crisp sounds echoed. Chu Feng's fist carried a terrifying force. Those few guards widened their eyes. When the force landed, they were directly shaken until they coughed out blood and were sent flying.
"What exactly happened?" Those guards' faces were filled with shock. They couldn't believe that a piece of trash from their family could actually crush them so easily!
"Wait until I return, then I'll settle this score with you all!"
Chu Feng coldly snorted, scaring the guards into trembling. Chu Feng pushed open the cold storage door and went in.
The temperature of the cold storage was very low, and the heat on Qinger's body was a little less. Qinger's face was no longer as hot as before. But Qinger's body was still very hot, as if it was being burned at all times.
"Qinger, are you feeling better? " Chu Feng asked worriedly.
Qinger struggled to open her eyes, "Young master, it's alright."
"Qinger, don't be afraid. I'm here."
Chu Feng tightly hugged Qinger and guided the heat over to help Qinger share the high temperature in her body.
Boom! Boom! Chu Feng's eyebrows were almost touched. That terrifying heat wave hit him, making him feel as if he was placed in a furnace. Even with the cold storage, the temperature was still very terrifying.
Chu Feng's skin was twisted by the heat, and he grimaced in pain. The cold inside and the hot outside almost made Chu Feng's body unable to withstand it.
Qinger felt her heart ache when she saw Chu Feng's actions.
Chu Feng's current cultivation base was still a little weaker than hers. Hence, when Chu Feng endured this pain, the pain must be even stronger than hers. Chu Feng's actions had softened Qinger's heart.
The terrifying heat was burning, and the heat wave was running all over Chu Feng's body. Chu Feng's meridians were almost burnt through, and the pain quickly turned into numbness.
Just as the heat was about to attack Chu Feng's dantian, the Rainbow Bead seemed to have sensed danger. It erupted with a strange fluctuation and absorbed the heat wave from Qinger's body.
"En? This Rainbow Bead..."
Chu Feng's expression changed. He could feel the unusual movement within his body. The Rainbow Bead appeared and the heat wave was quickly suppressed.
After absorbing the heat wave, the Rainbow Bead revealed a greedy expression and took the initiative to absorb the heat wave within Qinger's body.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
That heat wave was like a dragon sucking water as it was completely absorbed into the Rainbow Bead. Qinger's pain also quickly dissipated.
"Young master... thank you..."
Qinger's clothes were already drenched in sweat. She lay in Chu Feng's arms as if she had collapsed. She fell asleep. Although the Fire Poison Explosion this time was successfully disintegrated, it consumed a large amount of Qinger's energy. Qinger could only use sleep to avoid any abnormalities in her body.
Qin Feng looked at Qinger sleeping soundly and a look of relief appeared on his face, "Fortunately, there is the Rainbow Bead. Otherwise, both of us would be in bad luck today."
Chu Feng patted his Dantian and that Rainbow Bead slowly floated out and hovered in front of him. Previously, it was the Rainbow Bead that absorbed the heat wave that saved Chu Feng and Qinger from suffering.
This made Chu Feng even more curious about the origin of the Rainbow Bead. Not only could the Rainbow Bead absorb the runic symbols released by the Soul Energy, but it could also absorb the power of fire. It was truly strange.
"Hehe, with the Rainbow Bead, Qinger won't need to suffer the pain of the fire poison anymore in the future."
Chu Feng was delighted in his heart.
Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, the Rainbow Bead suddenly emitted a burst of red light, giving Chu Feng a scare. Chu Feng's expression was alert. He could only see a drop of red ink dripping out from within the Rainbow Bead.
The red ink landed on the ground and turned into a red bead.
The bead looked like a blood coloured crystal bead.
Chu Feng observed it for a while and quickly understood that this fire crystal bead was the crystallization of the heat in Qinger's body that was compressed by the Rainbow Bead.
The fire crystal pearl also contained a terrifying energy. Holding it in the palm of his hand was like holding a small furnace.
Waves of energy flowed out from the Fire Crystal Bead. Chu Feng's cultivation actually showed signs of breaking through.
"The Fire Crystal Bead compressed heat energy. This energy is so terrifying. It's even more powerful than swallowing a grade one spirit herb!"
Chu Feng was shocked. He naturally absorbed the energy from the Fire Crystal Pearl. After meditating for a while, his cultivation base broke through and reached the fifth level of Qi Gathering Realm!
This made Chu Feng pleasantly surprised. According to his estimation, unless he swallowed the Qi Gathering Pill, it would take at least three months to break through to the fifth level of Qi Gathering Realm!
And just one Fire Crystal Bead actually shortened Chu Feng's cultivation time by three months!
"This Rainbow Bead is really a treasure. Not only can it absorb a trace of talisman power from my Soul Energy, it can also absorb external heat energy and convert it into pure energy."
Chu Feng licked his lips, his face carrying excitement.
He had never seen such a powerful treasure before. With this Rainbow Bead, Qinger would no longer need to suffer from pain when the fire poison erupted again. He could also turn the fire poison into a good thing!
Killing two birds with one stone!
"Since no one is disturbing me here, I will meditate first."
After breaking through, Chu Feng entered seclusion to stabilize his realm.
Continuous breakthroughs had both advantages and disadvantages. Building roads was like building skyscrapers. Qi Gathering Realm was the foundation. If the foundation was not stable, the final achievement would be limited.
Chu Feng understood this principle. If he wanted to advance to a higher realm, he needed to be a little more solid.
Breaking through two realms in a row this time was already somewhat risky.
Today, Chu Feng practiced the Nine Strike Force in the underground vault while stabilizing his cultivation. The training of the Nine Strike Force had allowed Chu Feng to gradually adapt to the fifth level of Qi Gathering Realm.
Because of this, Chu Feng's combat strength had stabilized and was not superficial.
After Qinger slept for a few days, she finally woke up.
When she woke up, the first thing she did was to thank Chu Feng. "Qinger has no way to repay young master's kindness. She only wants to be a horse and a cow for young master to repay him."
Chu Feng looked at the cautious Qinger and smiled, "Why are the two of us so courteous? Furthermore, you are mother's person. In the future, don't call me young master. Just call me big brother."
Chu Feng actually could not bear to see such a beautiful little girl being treated as a servant.
Furthermore, deep in his heart, Chu Feng also treated Qinger as his little sister. The two of them had grown up together for more than ten years. There was no need to say anything about this relationship.
"How can this be? After all, the young master is the young master." Qinger hesitated and was timid.
Chu Feng smiled and rubbed Qinger's long hair. "Call me, it's fine."
Qinger mustered her courage and her face turned red. "Call... Brother Chu Feng? "
"Yes, not bad. I like the way you call me." Chu Feng nodded with a smile.
Qinger's face turned red when she was recognized by Chu Feng. "Brother Chu Feng..."
Chu Feng laughed. The whole courtyard was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Bang!
At this moment, the vault was suddenly forcefully opened. A few old men with powerful auras barged in.
"Kid, you're really bold, daring to trespass the family's forbidden grounds for your own personal interests!"
Those few old men pulled Chu Feng, intending to drag him away. Chu Feng's heart sank, suddenly realizing that the situation was not good.
"What are you all doing?" Qinger exclaimed from the side. These few elders were the elders of Chu family. They were usually very close to Third Master Chu.
"What are you all doing? Hehe, this trash did something wrong. We will naturally arrest him and bring him to justice! " The few old men sneered. Their expressions were fierce and frightening.
"You were sent by Third Uncle? "Chu Feng could vaguely guess the purpose of these people from their expressions. He was afraid that it was related to crippling Chu Sansheng.
"Kid, you aren't too stupid. Since you know about it, let's go. Don't waste any more time." Those few old men laughed.
"Don't mess around. I'll go by myself."
Chu Feng circulated his cultivation, shaking off the arms of those old men. Those old men were shocked, and their eyes carried astonishment. This piece of trash could actually break free from their bindings? This piece of trash was truly formidable!
One had to know that even the best of the Chu family's younger generation might not be able to force them away!
In the end, these few elders still let Chu Feng walk in front of them. They were afraid that Chu Feng would risk his life to fight them. If Chu Feng could cripple Chu Sansheng, he would have the qualifications to severely injure them.
In this world, the strong were respected. Now that Chu Feng had the ability to threaten others, they did not dare to be neglectful.
