Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 1308 - 1407: Worlds Apart

The plant presented blossoms of pale white and faint red, emitting a subtle, refreshing aroma.

Observing the flora with meticulous care, Qin Feng’s eyebrows arched in surprise. He then lowered himself, extending a hand to pluck the specimen.

The moment Qin Feng’s fingers brushed against the plant, a hand, like white jade, emerged from the precipice before him. It snatched the plant while simultaneously ensnaring Qin Feng’s own hand.

The jade-like hand, upon contact with Qin Feng’s palm, emitted a faint, electric jolt before retracting. Instantly, a delicate, ethereal visage materialized at the cliff's edge, regarding the young man bowed before it, a hint of crimson gracing her cheeks.

"Forgive me, it appears I had claimed it first."

Qin Feng regarded the comely Lan Yueliang, finding no deficiency in her allure compared to Liu Ruofei. Their proximity was evident, and as he noticed them quickening their steps towards the plant Lan Yueliang now held, Qin Feng had already perceived their approach.

"Young Master Jian Yi possesses eyes as sharp as torches. It is only natural that a treasure would not elude your keen sight." Lan Yueliang offered a gentle smile as she gazed upon Qin Feng’s youthful countenance.

Toying with the botanical prize in her grasp, Qin Feng articulated, "The crimson fruit holds a strong allure for wild beasts, typically succumbing to their appetites before ripening. Consequently, finding a mature crimson fruit upon Canghong Mountain is a rare occurrence. While valuable, this specimen is worth a king’s ransom. Surely, Miss Lan Yueliang does not lack for such wealth?"

"I am presently engaged in the formulation of a new medicinal compound, and the crimson fruit is a principal component. Would you be so kind as to yield it to me?" Lan Yueliang's eyes, reminiscent of tranquil waters, fixed upon Qin Feng, her disarmingly fragile demeanor possessing the power to ensnare most gentlemen.

"Alas, I fear that would be most unfortunate. The crimson fruit is of critical importance to me as well." Qin Feng replied, a thoughtful shake of his head preceding his gaze sweeping over the boundless peaks beyond the cliff. This woman, he mused, was not only blessed with striking beauty but also possessed a captivating grace in her gentle bearing. Were it a common commodity, Qin Feng might have indulged a beautiful lady with a gift, perhaps selecting one or two lesser items. Regrettably, this instance involved the crimson fruit.

This was the primary component for the arcane refinement of a supreme incantation, a substance unobtainable from the Treasure Pavilion. Should he secure an artifact of extraordinary might to shield him, Qin Feng would possess the means to conquer any obstacle in this realm. Thus, Qin Feng could not afford to be excessively "magnanimous."

"To my knowledge, the majority of Elixir Pills or incantations can be substituted with alternative remedies. The crimson fruit available at the Treasure Tower commands a price of approximately one million Spirit Stones. I propose an offer of one point five million. What say you?" Lan Yueliang remained resolute.

"My apologies, but the formula I employ is specific. It mandates the use of crimson fruit exclusively. Perhaps Miss Lan Yueliang might explore other medicinal avenues for her concoction."

The enticing offer of 1.5 million elicited no change in Qin Feng's stance. His statement held the ring of truth; at equivalent cultivation levels, talismans far surpassed Elixir Pills in value, exhibiting significantly greater precision. This did not imply that materials for crafting talismans were immutable, but their substitution was exceedingly challenging, particularly for foundational components. In contrast, the refinement process for medicinal compounds was considerably less stringent.

As Qin Feng initiated a sudden pivot, a cloud of fine, white powder burst forth, rapidly engulfing him.

The powdery substance cloaked Qin Feng for a considerable duration before being gently dispersed by the zephyr. Yet, upon the ground, the sightless and insensible Qin Feng appeared to shimmer with a kaleidoscope of sunlight.

Lan Yueliang observed the now-unconscious Qin Feng, brushing residual powder from her palm. Biting her crimson lip, she sighed, "It is hardly uncommon to resort to lethal means for potent treasures like the crimson fruit. I would have been content to accept recompense, but you refused it, hmm."

With a shake of her head, Lan Yueliang slowly approached the incapacitated Qin Feng. She knelt, carefully extracting the crimson fruit from his inert hand.

However, just as Lan Yueliang prepared to seize the moment, an unexpected turn of events transpired.

The ostensibly unconscious Qin Feng's eyes snapped open. With a twist of his palms, he ensnared her with both hands, halting Lan Yueliang's advance abruptly.

"Fortuitously, my physique possesses considerable resilience against potent toxins. Had it not been so, I fear you would have achieved your objective today with far less effort!"

Though momentarily taken aback by the sudden reversal, Lan Yueliang did not falter. With a swift clap of her hand, her toes struck with force between Qin Feng’s legs.

Perceiving Lan Yueliang’s unyielding persistence, Qin Feng let out a cold sneer. He suddenly thrust his right leg outward, delivering a solid impact to her delicate foot, contorting her usually placid features into an expression of pained surprise.

With a forceful punch, Qin Feng didn't pause. He suddenly placed a hand on the alluring crescent moon shape, gently pushing Lan Yueliang down onto the ground. Leaning with his own momentum, Qin Feng pinned Lan Yueliang tightly beneath him.

The soft sensation emanating from beneath sent a tremor through Qin Feng's heart. He inwardly exclaimed, "Cool," as he lowered his head to gaze at the slightly wriggling, blurry blue figure with rosy cheeks. Suddenly, their bodies pressed closer, their body heat becoming distinctly palpable.

"Let me go!" The male breath exhaled from above made Lan Yueliang dizzy. She gritted her silver teeth furiously.

"Let you go? Hmph, you dare to kick my brother? Shouldn't my brother get some compensation?" Qin Feng chuckled shamelessly.

A slight curl touched her red lips as Lan Yueliang sneered twice, "Shameless!"

"I don't care about face, so tell me, a person without shame pressing down on your lovely body, would you dare not resist?" Qin Feng lowered his head slightly, their breaths almost mingling, and sang with a smile.

Simultaneously, a hand brushed against her curves, making it difficult for Jiang Da to regain his composure.

Lan Yueliang's face grew even redder as she was pressed down by this scoundrel's imposing frame. She angrily exclaimed, "If you dare to bully me again, aren't you afraid of death? Just try me!"

"Scoundrel!"

Recalling various rumors about this woman, Qin Feng also took a cool breath, truly hesitant.

"Cough, cough. You aren't strong enough, and your build isn't firm enough. A pure gentleman like me prefers..." Qin Feng coughed twice, then reluctantly stood up, moving away from her alluring body. He said coldly, "If you had dared to set your sights on me, I wouldn't have been so polite."

"You're so rude!" Experiencing an unspeakable, painful discomfort, Lan Yueliang's face flushed. She sneered, a strange feeling bubbling within her that almost drove her mad. This was because she found herself secretly anticipating this scoundrel coming to 'violate' her again!

"Uh..." Qin Feng embarrassedly touched his nose and laughed, "The weather today is so good. The sky is completely cloudless."

"Hmph!"

Lan Yueliang turned away from such a hooligan.

This was a peculiar exotic affection. Young, powerful, yet possessing far-reaching foresight, even recognizing Jade Marrow. One had to admit such a person was charming. At least among over five hundred adventurers, Lan Yueliang found him the most impressive. Sometimes, he would appear in her mind, causing Lan Yueliang worry.

"Stay away from me!" Her sweet, righteous indignation sounded, but Lan Yueliang was too lazy to turn around and look at Qin Feng.

Just then, however, a sudden loud noise erupted from the other side of the cliff.

Seemingly drawn by the commotion, the adventurers tirelessly scoured the surroundings, rushing toward the source with boundless energy.

Seeing this, Qin Feng and Lan Yueliang couldn't help but exchange glances before also dashing in that direction.

The origin of the noise was at the bottom of a cliff, approximately 200 meters below. Looking down from the edge, it was incredibly steep, shrouded in fog. The depth of the cliff bottom was obscured, but it felt as if vast rocks had softened.

"It's deep within the cliff!"
