Chapter 181 Diverting Attention

Looking at the distant market gate, Xu Feng poured more mana into his flying sword and moved forward at a faster speed.

Chu Tianhong, who was originally keeping pace with him, also caught up with him.

After successfully entering the city, the two of them came to the mission hall to hand in the mission.

The Tianjian Sect disciples who were responsible for handing over the mission did not ask them why there were three people who took the mission and two who handed it in. They didn't have the time to care about this.

Everyone is used to the fact that there will be no death of cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

After the energetic crucian carp was tested, the mission was successfully handed over.

Xu Feng and the other person received their own 300 spiritual stone rewards.

The two had no objection to the distribution and directly each took half.

The bulk of their harvest this time was on those precious spiritual honeys, and the mission reward accounted for a small proportion.

After the distribution was completed, the two sides left each other the communication symbols used for contact, and then parted ways.

Xu Feng hurried to Tongxin Pavilion. He knew that during the six months he was away, Luo Xinran and the other two girls must have been very anxious.

Originally, they spent less than a month on the road, and then they acted alone for another month, so it only took two months to return.

Before leaving the market, Xu Feng promised the two girls that it would take two months.

But some things are just so coincidental.

Chu Tianhong's crested honey hawk instantly entered a breakthrough state after eating hundreds of soul-chasing bee larvae at a time.

He originally wanted to return alone, but he was worried about the safety of the return journey, and secondly, they had just fought side by side to obtain spiritual honey, and it would be a bit ungentle to leave.

Therefore, he also stayed and protected the crested honey hawk with her until the other party broke through and became a first-class upper-grade spiritual beast.

This process lasted for four months, so he was so anxious when he rushed back.

But these four months of waiting were not wasted.

Seeing that her spirit beast had successfully broken through the grade, Chu Tianhong was so happy that she actually taught him a unique method for cultivating spirit bees.

According to her, this method was summarized based on her family's inheritance of beast control and her own practice. It was very precious and practical, and she asked him not to spread it to others.

While chatting, Xu Feng also inquired about her background. The other party was vague and only said that she was not a local cultivator of Wei State, but came from Lu State and was born in a family of beast control and foundation building.

Before he could figure out how to explain the reason for his late return, Xu Feng had already arrived in front of his own shop.

Looking at the cultivators coming in and out as usual, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This at least showed that the shop was still operating normally during his absence.

Following a burly cultivator, he tiptoed into the shop and prepared to inquire about the situation first.

Just after walking in for two steps, he saw two clerks standing behind the counter to receive customers, and Xu Tinglan and her two daughters sitting on the chairs beside them with sad faces.

Seeing this, he felt relieved, walked out from behind the burly monk, and walked straight towards the two women.

"Xinran, Tinglan, are you okay? I'm back."

When they heard his voice, the two women who were originally whispering to each other turned their heads to him instantly, and saw him standing in front of them intact.

As if they had made an appointment, the two stood up at the same time, and said unhappily in unison:

"Manager Xu is back, welcome, welcome!"

The mouth was quite enthusiastic, but there was no joy on the face, and there was a lot of anger.

Seeing that the shop assistants and customers noticed something was wrong, they all turned their attention to them.

Xu Feng coughed twice and changed the subject:

"Ahem, I'm back, just back, you come with me to the third floor, I have something to tell you."

Hearing this, the two women's expressions softened a little, and followed him upstairs. They wanted to hear what explanation he would give.

After arriving at the third floor, Xu Feng went to Liang Wan'er's room as usual. When he saw that she was the same as when he left, he closed the door and walked out.

After arriving at his room, he first invited the two girls to sit down, and then went straight to the big move.

"Wow!"

He took out all the soul-chasing bee hives that he had snatched this time and put them on the big round table in the room.

The two girls who had originally planned to ask for punishment were immediately attracted by the sight of so many beehives, and the little emotions in their hearts disappeared instantly.

"Xiao Feng, where did you get so many beehives? If you take out the spiritual honey, you can sell it for thousands of spiritual stones, right?"

The first person to speak was Xu Tinglan, who had a more lively personality. When she was a clerk in the pill shop, she also bought a lot of spiritual bee hives for alchemists to use in making pills.

But the ones she bought at that time were only the size of a palm, and the most amazing ones were only the size of a head.

But the ones Xu Feng brought back were different, as big as millstones, and there were as many as ten of them, which surprised her.

After she finished speaking, she stood up, walked around the chair and came to the round table, and began to examine it closely.

Although Luo Xinran did not speak, she was also interested in where Xu Feng got so many spirit bee nests, so she kept staring at him.

Seeing that the two girls' attention had been successfully diverted by him, Xu Feng first breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to explain how to cooperate with Chu Tianhong to kill bees and get honey.

In order to make the two girls more immersive, he deliberately said ups and downs, thousands of twists and turns, so that they were immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.

The matter of why he was late for several months was completely forgotten.

"You said you also got half of the hive of spirit bee larvae. Why is it missing?"

Luo Xinran stood up, walked around the spirit bee nest several times, and asked curiously.

"Come here, I'll take it out and show it to you."

Xu Feng called the two of them to his talisman table, then waved his right hand, and a larvae hive that was only one-fifth of the size of the spirit bee hive appeared in front of the two women.

"Ah, this looks so small."

Luo Xinran was surprised and said that she had never come into contact with spiritual bees before, so she subconsciously thought that the spiritual bee hive and the larval hive should be of the same size. Who knew but she took it for granted.

"Are the larvae of the soul-chasing bees living in the separate cells here?"

Xu Tinglan also took a closer look, and then asked after sensing it with her spiritual sense.

"Yes, each of these hives contains a larvae of a Soul Chaser Bee. If they are nurtured properly, they will emerge from the cocoons in half a year."

Xu Feng recalled the beekeeping knowledge Chu Tianhong taught him while learning and selling.

"The spiritual honey we usually take is actually brewed by these little guys. It's really amazing!"

Luo Xinran sighed, but Xu Tinglan, who was standing next to her, stared at the soul-chasing bee larvae motionless, looking thoughtful.
