The Sacred Ruins

Panda Novel

“That sort of thing exists in hell and it certainly is a rare and valuable item. It can strengthen one’s body and increase their power,” said the great demoness Zhao Qing immediately.

She had a smiling expression on her face and gave a detailed account, acting her part as a dutiful subordinate and maid.

This made Zi Luan roll her eyes. This demoness was far too eager, doing her utmost to try and please Chu Feng. Could it be that she wanted to stay and start something dirty with Chu Feng?

“In hell, there is a type of extremely terrifying black ant that eats ferocious arhat-leveled beasts as food.”

Zhao Qing informed him that an elixir refined by those hellish ants could be found in their frightening ant caves, just like how bees harvest pollen to make honey. But the fluid produced by the hellish ants was even more frightening as it could harden the human body and bring about terrifying strength.

“Its effect is that powerful?” asked Chu Feng.

“Apparently, the body’s strength and power increases by at least five-fold after consuming this elixir. Just imagine that at first there are two evenly-matched individuals, and one consumes the elixir produced by the hellish ants. When they fight again it will be heavily imbalanced.”

Chu Feng listened to this and solemnly nodded his head. Naturally, he knew what it meant for the body and its power to increase by several folds. This was tantamount to an additional evolution.

“Excellent.” Chu Feng nodded.

“For many years, creatures determined to embark on the path to become the strongest would never pass up on the Hellish Ant Elixir. Even orthodoxies ranked near the top, such as the Dameng Pure Land and the Deity clan, groom their geniuses through consuming this elixir. It’s an essential step.”

Chu Feng frowned. Top-notch races groomed their descendants using many methods. He had only heard of this rare and treasured substance, yet it was a necessity to the Ten Greats.

“What else is there?” He continued to ask.

Zhao Qing said, “Of course there are other divine items, but they are incredibly rare and haven’t been seen for many years. These include, for example, the magnetic sage fruits, the Nine Orifice Tribulation Flower, the Myriad Star Grass and so on.”

Chu Feng frowned incessantly as he listened. The items she listed were incredibly heaven-defying and simply couldn’t be found under normal circumstances.

This was because he had once heard Yao Yao mention them when he was on Mount Longhu. These were divine items effective towards Yao Yao’s resurrection and were essential for it!

Then, he let Yuan Mo and Zi Luan fill in the gaps. In the end, they had covered most of the uncommon substances.

They summarized that, with Chu Feng’s current standing, there weren’t many things he could purchase on the black market. He could only buy the Hellish Ant Elixir and the Divine Bee Serum.

Then, those related to divine sons and saintesses were anguished in the following auction. This was because Chu Feng pushed out ten people to be auctioned in one breath, making it clear he wanted the Hellish Ant Elixir in exchange.

The families and sects behind those ten individuals were instantly dazed. The Hellish Ant Elixir was too rare and precious, and it was extremely difficult to harvest. The ants ate golden-arhat leveled creatures and their colonies were densely packed, making it difficult to infiltrate and steal the elixir.

In fact, there was even a rumor that some ant queens were so powerful they could devour saints!

Not long ago, Qin Luoyin had just returned from hell. Why was this? It was because she had personally gone there to find opportunities and collect the Hellish Ant Elixir. Of course, she had dao protectors by her side, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been successful.

One could imagine how precious the Hellish Ant Elixir was if even an orthodoxy like the Dameng Pure Land didn’t have many reserves of it.

In a sense, the Hellish Ant Elixir was not inferior to the Deity Elixir and their value was similar.

Every single genius, as well as those who wanted to become unequaled, wouldn’t pass up on the Hellish Elixir.

“What do you think of ten divine sons and saintesses in exchange for ten drops of the Hellish Ant Elixir?” Chu Feng asked.

Immediately throughout the starry skies, the sect members and families of those divine sons and saintesses had incredibly ghastly expressions on their faces. They found it hard to take it in. It was unlikely they would be able to purchase the elixir even if they were to spend a large sum of money in the universe’s black market.

“A drop of the Hellish Ant Elixir is sufficient to baptize a genius’ body. It’s unlikely that the body can handle it if you use too much,” the great demoness Zhao Qing reminded Chu Feng.

Chu Feng nodded, but he really wanted to hold a few drops for future use.

However, it was evident the orthodoxies weren’t going to accept it. A drop could make one’s physical body and power rapidly increase by several folds while boosting their combat ability. This was a rare and precious substance, and its price was invaluable.

“My friend, you should know that it’s very difficult to purchase the Hellish Ant Elixir. In general, those who manage to obtain it won’t sell it. It’s just as rare as Deity Elixir!”

“Yes, Brother Chu Feng you are asking for things that are beyond our power. If we really do exchange, we only have confidence that we can find one drop.”

“A saint died not long ago. A mighty ant queen killed him and gobbled up his sacred blood. This led to the Hellish Ant Elixir becoming more and more expensive.”

“A drop? No way!” Chu Feng shook his head.

But in the end, he remembered that he had still not yet managed to bargain for a single drop of the Deity Elixir and he sighed. It would indeed to difficult to obtain ten drops of the similar-leveled Hellish Ant Elixir.

Someone sighed and said, “Two drops is all we have! It’s not easy to store this so not many will have kept reserves of it. Whoever manages to obtain it will use it immediately to enhance their own powers.”

Then, they indicated that they were willing to offer some cosmic dollars as well because they really didn’t have any more Hellish Ant Elixir. They had already consulted the universal black market and recently there had been no goods supply.

Chu Feng could tell that this really was their limit.

“Fine, I’ll take two drops of the Hellish Elixir as well as fifty billion cosmic dollars.” Chu Feng demanded such an extortionate price since this was an all-out sale. He had already offended them long ago.

“You’re… too cruel!” Old geezers from some of the orthodoxies cursed at him.

As for those ten divine sons and saintesses, they were ashamed. What had they had come to Earth for? To be sold back to their homeland would be too humiliating.

Next, Chu Feng pushed out another ten divine sons and saintesses and told their advocates that as before he wanted the Hellish Ant Elixir in exchange for them. In the end, they reached an agreement with terms similar to those set earlier.

“What a pity. Without realizing I’ve sold old more than a dozen people and I don’t have many left.” Chu Feng shook his head.

Then, he sighed and said, “I regret not taking more divine sons and saintesses!”

These words spread throughout the starry skies and a bunch of people cursed at him. The actual saying was that one regretted not taking in more knowledge. His words made people want to smash him.

In reality, Chu Feng wasn’t intending to ridicule the crowd. He was serious. In his eyes, the divine sons and saintesses were just goods.

Muttering to himself, he said, “Should I keep some of the divine sons and saintesses? They’re superior to cosmic dollars and are more valuable.”

The crowd didn’t have anything to say to this, and the related parties wanted to kill him!

It became rather bustling afterwards. In the end, Chu Feng sold all of the remaining divine sons and saintesses and didn’t keep much stock.

“Sky Piercing Express!”

Three days later, Chu Feng contacted the ever-mysterious Wormhole Company and prepared to dispatch.

This was because he had subsequently received payment for the goods. Also, if there were any problems, the Origin Beast Platform take responsibility for them.

As Sky Piercing Express Delivery could only open a wormhole in such places, Chu Feng chose an island in the East Sea and found a folded space there. It was impossible for the wormhole to land in the earth’s main space.

The folded space was located deep within the island.

This time, a box made from an unusual material appeared when the wormhole was opened. In name, it was a lifeboat, but actually, this was a “container” for shipping divine sons and saintesses.

“Brother, have a safe journey!” Inside the folded space, Chu Feng sent them off one by one. He patted a divine son’s shoulder and said, “Take care!”

Anyone who didn’t know would’ve thought the two of them had a deep relationship. In the end, he stuffed the divine son into the “container” before sealing it!

“Next!” Chu Feng said.

On the side, Zi Luan was in the middle of processing the orders. She used the photon computer to fill in the address coordinates to which the divine sons and saintesses were to be delivered. Li Feng was acting as her assistant, proofreading vigorously.

This was because it could be fatal if by any chance they were posted wrongly.

The next person was a saintess. She had a bitter expression but didn’t dare show it in her speech in front of Chu Feng. Now that she was being sent back home, she felt incredibly humiliated.

She was a saintess from a certain high-ranked planet and felt distraught to have fallen here.

“Little sister, you should be delighted to be returning home. This is a happy occasion, and I’ll miss you!” Chu Feng comforted. He was quite attentive, supporting her as she went into the “metal can”.

Once she was sent away, Chu Feng shouted, “Next!”

Next, it was another divine son. Chu Feng stared into his eyes and said, “Brother, if we ever meet again I’ll buy you a drink. I’ll look forward to the day when I meet you in the starry skies.”

Damn you! The divine son wanted to curse at him, but he was still not quite safe as he hadn’t yet departed. He could only put up with it, and he said in a small voice, “I hope I never see you again in my life!”

…

The crowd found that Chu Feng had different words for every person he sent off. He looked sincere, and if one didn’t know better, they would’ve thought he was indeed reluctant to part with them.

“Girl, your name is Li Miao isn’t it? I actually didn’t want to sell you. Initially, I had wanted to keep you to warm my bed and leave behind a beautiful story. But the circumstances forced me to do so. Have a safe trip, and I’ll come and visit you!”

“Brother, train well when you get back. Strive to become the top expert on your planet. When I do go find you in the future, I’ll have some face too!”

…

Chu Feng sent away more than a dozen people like this. He was exceedingly cordial, giving them advice and warnings.

Soon afterwards, when it was the princess of Da Xu Dynasty, Xu Jing’s turn, Chu Feng was even more ardent and said, “Your Majesty, if you need me in the future, do not hesitate to call me. For example, if you want to become Empress, I will come and give a helping hand.”

Xu Jing glared at him coldly and said, “Stop talking nonsense!”

“Then be on your way!” Chu Feng wanted to shove her directly into the lifeboat!

“You’re mistaken. I’m not going back as I have chosen to remain on Earth!” Xu Jing yelled urgently. How abominable was this bastard? A moment ago he was sending warm-hearted farewells, yet now he was stuffing her directly into the metal tin.

“The Da Xu Dynasty paid an extra protection fee so Princess Xu can stay here,” reminded Zi Luan.

“Sorry, I’ve remembered incorrectly. Your Majesty, please come this way. You’re now free.” Chu Feng released Xu Jing.

This was also the case for Fu Huang. He had chosen to stay and thus paid a protection fee.

Presently, the large-scale auctioning of the divine sons and saintesses was completely finished and had come to an end.

Zhao Qing, the great demoness was still by Chu Feng’s side as she had decided to stay. On the other hand, Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu had also been kept back by Chu Feng for the time being.

“For now, you guys can train at sea. I’m going to visit a friend.” Chu Feng plunged into the sea with a dive. He headed to the Dragon King’s palace in the East Sea in search for the Dragoness.

Upon seeing the Dragoness once again, Chu Feng slipped her several Golden Snake Fruits and said, “I want to go into seclusion in the True Dragon Nest!”

The Dragoness could sense the power of the Golden Apples. She was exceptionally delighted and was grateful towards Chu Feng. One Golden Serpent Apple was worth 100 million cosmic dollars in the starry skies and had an astonishing effect of purifying bloodlines like the Serpent race.

“I’ll take you there!” The Dragoness led the way.

In the end, Chu Feng arrived at the True Dragon Nest and began his seclusion. He was planning to practice his martial arts here and take the Hellish Ant Elixir.
