The smiles of the two beauties surprised Lingfeng. Although their smiles were still somewhat stiff, it at least showed that Lingfeng's words had touched them a little, and it indicated that her purpose had been partially achieved.
Lingfeng also smiled foolishly and after a while said, "So you can smile!"
The two immediately returned to their serious expressions, instantly turning back into two icebergs.
"You can go out first. We will put the food in the pavilion once it's ready!" Fei Fei said as she turned around.
Lingfeng nodded with a silly smile and hurriedly walked out. Having not slept all night, she planned to take a good nap while they cooked.
Perhaps due to exhaustion and a complete relaxation of her mood, Lingfeng lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Since learning cultivation, Lingfeng did not need long hours of sleep. Although she sometimes felt very tired, she only needed to rest for a while. The rest of the time was just wasted.
Before long, Lingfeng felt herself waking up, her body nearly restored. She got out of bed and staggered outside. A delicious aroma wafted through the air, coming from the pavilion.
"Fei Fei, Jiao Jiao?" Seeing no one in the pavilion, Lingfeng looked around but found no one in the kitchen either.
After pondering for a moment, Lingfeng walked straight to the pavilion and sat down to eat.
Before long, Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao each appeared with a bouquet of blooming flowers in hand. Seeing Lingfeng eating in the pavilion, they hurriedly asked, "You woke up so quickly!"
Lingfeng smiled slightly, finished the last bit of rice in her bowl, and asked, "What were you doing?"
Fei Fei chuckled and waved the bouquet in her hand. "The flowers are blooming beautifully this morning, so I went to pick some!"
Lingfeng nodded and then set down her bowl and chopsticks as she walked toward the yard outside.
He Zhuang is quite large, and Lingfeng arrived suddenly, without having the chance to properly admire the architectural environment here.
After wandering around the front yard for a while, he did not see anyone, so he turned and walked towards the back. After passing through several gates and courtyards, he finally spotted a large artificial lake in the distance. In the middle of the lake stood a pavilion, and from behind the corner gate, Lingfeng could clearly see Hezi standing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, while Dragon Slayer stood behind him.
Although Lingfeng could not see Hezi's expression, he sensed that Hezi seemed to be discussing something important with Dragon Slayer. The tense atmosphere conveyed itself without the need for expressions, and Lingfeng easily picked up on it.
Lingfeng did not reveal himself immediately. After a while, when Dragon Slayer turned to leave, Lingfeng slowly stepped out from behind the corner gate.
Even though Hezi was facing away from Lingfeng, looking at the shimmering lake surface with his hands behind his back, Lingfeng had just relaxed his breath when Hezi already noticed him.
"Five Element Hero is up so early!" Hezi turned around, but the gloomy air on his face had not dissipated.
"Is there something bothering you, Senior?" Lingfeng asked politely and indirectly about what was troubling Hezi.
Hezi gave a bitter smile and turned to look at the sparkling lake surface. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "The Demon Relic has appeared!"
"The Demon Relic?" This statement struck Lingfeng like a bolt from the blue, leaving him momentarily stunned. After a while, he turned back and asked, "Are you sure the Demon Relic has appeared?"
The Demon Relic is an essential object for the awakening of Demon Lord Reincarnation. It is said to be a magic pearl within Chiyou's body, resembling a sutra from the Buddhist realm, hence it is called the Demon Relic.
The Demon Relic contains half of Chiyou's life energy; although it is only half, it can still reach a high level of Demon Cultivation. Moreover, this Demon Relic is quite peculiar; whenever its possessor dies or ascends, it disappears until the next generation of demon lords is about to emerge.
Although it was only a matter of time before the Demon Relic appeared, Lingfeng was still startled to hear Hezi say such a thing.
Hezi nodded firmly and said, "Last night I observed the stars and found that the Demon Spirit Star was dim and then transformed into a shooting star. Clearly, the Demon Relic fell last night!"
Lingfeng agreed with Hezi's reasoning. The Demon Spirit Star is located above Spirit Sect and is one of the main guardian stars for Demon Cultivators. Long ago, during his exploration of Shenzhou, Lingfeng had already learned about the knowledge related to the Demon Spirit Star.
Once the Demon Spirit Star falls, the Bright Demon Relic will have arrived in the human realm.
"Then, the Spirit Sect must have discovered the descent of the Demon Relic," Lingfeng murmured with concern.
Hezi nodded heavily. "Yes, the Spirit Priest of the Spirit Sect not only manages the affairs of the Spirit Sect but is also responsible for observing the movements of the Demon Relic throughout the year. Moreover, now that the Demon Lord Reincarnation has appeared, he will definitely be observing the stars every night. It's possible..." He paused, his expression grave. "It's possible they have already begun searching for the whereabouts of the Demon Relic!"
Lingfeng had witnessed how quickly the Spirit Sect acted. Just in searching for the Monkey Head, a few members of the Spirit Sect had found it before most people in the State Government.
Lingfeng glanced at Hezi's expression and thought to himself, "Although this Demon Relic can only be used for awakening the Demon Lord Reincarnation, Hezi clearly wants to obtain it as well; I just don't know what his intentions are!"
However, Lingfeng could not concern himself with others right now; what mattered most to him was to find the Demon Relic and do so before Hezi and the Spirit Sect.
But Lingfeng was at a disadvantage; both the Spirit Sect and the Alliance had numerous personnel, putting him in a difficult position.
After some thought, Lingfeng looked at Hezi and asked, "Where does the Demon Relic usually appear?"
"Well..." Hezi hesitated at Lingfeng's question, seemingly unsure whether he should answer.
"Do you not trust me?" Lingfeng retorted with a smile.
"Of course not; it's just..." Hezi tried to cover up but, faced with Lingfeng's question, hurriedly concealed his unease. "It's just that this Demon Relic often appears in the Barbarian Lands!"
"The Barbarian Lands?" Lingfeng was taken aback again; the Barbarian Lands were home to the Barbarian Sect and also where Man Qing and Man Pillar's sects were located.
Hezi did not expect such a strong reaction from Lingfeng but continued, "Yes, in the Barbarian Lands."
Lingfeng still held some suspicion towards Hezi, wondering if he was being deceived.
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because throughout history, Demon Relics have appeared in the Barbarian Lands!" Hezi answered almost without thinking.
Lingfeng was skeptical of Hezi's response. Although he had studied knowledge related to Demon Relics, he had never heard of any specific locations where they appeared. Even in the Scripture Pavilion of the Demon Suppression Sect, the books about Demon Relics clearly indicated that they were merely legends.
There were naturally two possibilities regarding this phenomenon. One was that Demon Relics indeed existed, but the Demon Suppression Sect was intentionally concealing something. The other was that Demon Relics were truly just a myth and had never appeared.
But no matter what the truth was, Lingfeng had no way to verify it. He couldn't decide whether to believe Hezi's one-sided account or trust the historical records of the Demon Suppression Sect.
"It seems I can only return to the Spirit Sect!" Lingfeng thought to himself.
"Five Element Hero, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Lingfeng was somewhat unresponsive, Hezi curiously asked.
"Oh," Lingfeng returned to his usual demeanor and casually said, "I was wondering what season it is now."
Hezi was taken aback, not expecting Lingfeng to shift from the topic of Demon Relics to seasons so quickly. However, Hezi didn't suspect anything and replied casually, "The Cultivation Realm hasn't had seasonal divisions for a long time; even I can't distinguish them."
Lingfeng initially wanted to take this opportunity to ask about the seasons in the Cultivation Realm but didn't expect such a response.
"However," Hezi added, "there is someone who should know what season it is now!"
Lingfeng felt as if he had fallen into a whirlpool and then was pulled back by a pair of hands; a wonderful sensation spread throughout his body. "Who knows?"
Hezi raised an eyebrow at Lingfeng, probably wondering why he was so interested in the season, but still answered, "According to the hermits in the mountains, they plant various plants based on seasonal changes, so I guess these hermits should know what season it is now!"
"Right!" Lingfeng clapped his hands excitedly and said with enthusiasm, "How did I not think of that?"
"But why are you asking such questions?" Hezi asked again.
Lingfeng smiled mysteriously but did not answer Hezi's question. He winked at Hezi and ran towards his residence. After taking a couple of steps, he turned to Hezi and said, "Can you help me prepare three horses and some provisions?"
Hezi nodded, indicating it was no problem.
Since arriving in the Mandala Demon Realm, Lingfeng felt happier than ever. As long as he knew the current season and month, by autumn and winter, Stone Mountain on Demon Spirit Mountain would appear in the nearest corner to Spirit Sect, making it easy for Lingfeng to find Monkey Head.
Upon returning to his residence, Lingfeng instructed Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao to tidy up a bit, preparing to set off soon.
Although the two were somewhat puzzled, they obediently followed Lingfeng's arrangements.
Before long, everything was ready, and Lingfeng headed to the front yard.
Hezi, Dragon Slayer, and several others were standing in the yard, along with many horses and provisions.
Lingfeng immediately sensed something was off and jokingly remarked with a hint of sarcasm, "Senior, I only asked you to help me prepare three horses and some provisions. I didn't expect you to provide so many people as well. Are you afraid I might run off with these two beautiful sisters?"
"Hahaha..." Hezi chuckled in response, "Five Element Hero misunderstands. It's just that most of the Hermits on this mountain are highly skilled individuals, and their personalities can be quite unpredictable. I arranged for so many people to ensure your safety."
