(Give us a review on Novel Updates!)

After Lu Feng was done talking to himself, he looked around the bas.e.m.e.nt, making sure no one was around. In his mind he thought of the painting and his entire body went into it. Before his eyes, there were rows of roses that had bloomed.
When Lu Feng saw the roses, he laughed to himself and said “What if I gave Ms. Bai a bouquet of nine thousand, nine hundred ninety roses tomorrow? I wonder if she would be happy if she saw that?” However, as he thought about it, maybe the seeds would be destroyed by someone else tomorrow. Hence, he grasped the time to quickly sprinkle the seeds he had onto the soil beside the roses.

There were only four pieces of fertile soil here, and that was the second area of soil. However, Lu Feng only planted the seeds on the second patch, and sat there and waited for a while for the seeds to sprout. Unfortunately, nothing sprouted out of the seeds. Lu Feng then frowned and said “That’s not right, the seeds of roses immediately sprouted after they’re planted. Then why the h.e.l.l aren’t these seeds doing anything!?”

Lu Feng inspected the seeds, and found out that some seeds didn’t have an immediate reaction, while other seeds had already sprouted a little. Although the sprouts were unoticable, at least there was some life that had grown from the seeds. Still, Lu Feng muttered to himself “Guess Spirit Plants are not as easy to grow as earth roses.”

Lu Feng knew that most types of Spirit plants required a few hundred or thousand years before they blossomed, but the roses on earth, required less than a year. Hence he guessed perhaps this soil may be very fertile, but still required an amount of time before any Spirit plant sprouted.

If the span of a few years could be shortened to the span of a few hours, it would already be good enough for Lu Feng. Therefore, he sat there silently, waiting for the Spirit plant to slowly grow out of their seed pods. He went down the well, and found that his Spirit Coins had increased from one coin to five coins. Lu Feng was very excited, and went back to watch the Spirit plants grow.

After two hours, Lu Feng had acc.u.mulated ten Spirit Coins just from watching the Spirit plants grow. As Lu Feng saw the portal to the Immortal’s Realm open, he said in eager antic.i.p.ation “Let’s find out where the Land of the Immortals is.” Lu Feng had seen TV shows adapted from fairy tales, hence he knew that the things that he could obtain in the Immortal’s Realm were all powerful. Naturally, the seeds there would also have some sort of magical quality, therefore Lu Feng wanted to obtain the seeds of the Immortal Fruit for himself.

However, Lu Feng felt a cold chill as he stuck out his hand into the portal. He quickly pulled back his hand, and there was a piece of rock that flew out. The portal then closed, and Lu Feng’s Spirit Coins went back to zero. Lu Feng paused and looked down at the rock that had bounced off his foot. The rock was actually a piece of cobblestone that was the size of an infant. Lu Feng said in annoyance “Motherfu- What the h.e.l.l is this heavy a.s.s rock here for. G.o.dd.a.m.n, my foot hurts from it.”

Lu Feng tried to carry the rock away, and found that the rock was very heavy. Initially, he thought it was a rock from the Immortal’s Realm, but no matter how much he battered the rock or used his Spirit Qi, the rock didn’t budge. Lu Feng worriedly thought “Did I go to the Land of the Immortals just for an… Immortal Rock!?”

When Lu Feng realised that, he nearly exploded. He hurriedly checked when he could open another portal, and saw that he now needed a hundred of those Spirit Coins to open the portal. “What kinda s.h.i.t is this?! It was ten coins at the start, now it wants a hundred? Are they trying to drive me nuts!?” Lu Feng said angrily.

Lu Feng started to hit the walls of the well, in a desperate attempt to change the amount of Spirit Coins required. Unfortunately, the number never changed and Lu Feng gave up. He looked at the Immortal Rock with a forlorn expression, and went back to his initial position, watching the still growing Spirit Seedlings. “One hundred coins… I don’t think sitting here till tomorrow can get me that amount,” Lu Feng sighed.

Just as Lu Feng was doubting himself, he heard something move. He looked around curiously, only to find out the the noise was coming from inside the well. He immediately stood up and went towards the well to check out what was happening.

As Lu Feng arrived at the mouth of the well, he was shocked to see that the Immortal Rock was rolling and bouncing about on its own. This scared Lu Feng, as he took a few steps back and said in confusion and horrification “What the f.u.c.k…”

The Immortal Rock then leapt from the well and into the field of Spirit plants, landing with a thud sound. In an instant, the Spirit plants around the rock withered and died. Lu Feng’s eyes widened in horror as he tried to maintain his dwindling sanity. Those were the Spirit plants that he planted, with his own hands, for his own consumption and for gathering Spirit Coins. All of this were destroyed by one mere rock from the Land of the Immortals. Lu Feng immediately forgot about the dangers the Immortal Rock possibly had, and yelled angrily at it. “I don’t care whatever creature you are, but you just destroyed my crops! I’ll, I’ll kill you with my bare hands!”, he shouted

Lu Feng acted like a peasant farmer that had the fruits of his labour eaten by pests. He charged angrily at the Immortal Rock, but the rock merely hopped to the side, threatening to trample the roses too. Lu Feng stopped. “Don’t,” he harshly whispered.

The Immortal Rock oddly floated to the air and made a large arc, moving to the rear of the roses not smashing into them. Lu Feng’s entire body was covered in perspiration1 shockingly said, “So close.”

Then when Lu Feng found out the rock could hear what he thought, he asked, “You, can understand my words?” That rock jumped up, and flew in front of Lu Feng and rolled around.

Lu Feng felt dazed staring at the rock, “What are you really.” That rock was still rolling around, then went over to Lu Feng’s leg and laid on it. Lu Feng’s face flushed red, thinking of lifting his foot but unable to. It was so heavy pressing down on his foot he felt like he was going to die.

Angrily, Lu Feng slapped it. “Can you get off? It hurts like h.e.l.l.” The rock seemingly understood what he said, rolled off Lu Feng’s swollen foot.

Looking at the bloated toe, Lu Feng was so angry and felt like cursing, but he didn’t know what to shout out, only recognizing that he was unlucky. He stared at the rock and said, “You, you aren’t a monster right.” The rock forcefully jumped up, scaring Lu Feng such that he retreated to one side, however that rock dropped onto Lu Feng’s original seat.

The rock cracked, Lu Feng was stunned only when the rock completely broke emerged a furry little guy. Lu Feng panicked, and said, “What the, so what I got from the Immortal Realm was a monster egg.”

This scared Lu Feng to death, he wanted to quickly leave this painting, and was very afraid of being eaten by the monster egg, however that furry little guy was lying there unconscious, Lu Feng magically looked at it grow from the size of a fist, slowly getting bigger, furthermore a white flickering light could be seen in its surroundings, the source of this white light, was from this soil.

Lu Feng stood in amazement, when that thing grows up it would become a large cat. Suddenly it opened it’s eyes, it’s four legs stood up. It’s two eyes staring at Lu Feng, it looked like a completely ordinary small white cat.

Lu Feng shocked, “You, you’re a cat.”

The little guy did not know how to speak, it only make a whining sound, like an animal when it was hungry. Then with a leap, it ran to Lu Feng’s arms. Lu Feng hurriedly held it out of habit like he would with small animals, afraid it might get hurt. Holding it up, found that it was as if he was carrying a small white cat. Lu Feng’s mood got better, “Are you an Immortal Realm cat?”

It was obvious that little thing didn’t know what he meant, and could only stay there rubbing its head against him, as if hinting that it was friendly. However Lu Feng, who was being tickled, laughed and said, “Ok, ok, I know.”

Afterwards this little thing jumped down, and began to jump about, then rolled around on the ground, Lu Feng looked at it, and thought of the feline animals on Earth, and afterwards imagined a scene of a beautiful lady holding a cat, and at that moment he had a flash, and said, “With this white cat, will I be able to get closer to Miss Bai?”

Lu Feng immediately had some evil thoughts, he let out a hehe laugh and said, “Some people say keeping animals can attract the opposite gender. Seeing this little white cat, definitely a lady killer.”

Excited Lu Feng went over to where the little white cat was rolling about, smiled he said, “Now onwards I’ll call you Little White, how is it?” The little white cat joyfully jumped on Lu Feng’s shoulder then licked his face. Lu Feng happily laughed, “Coming to this world, it can finally be considered worth it.”

Lu Feng spoke his thoughts all out, felt like he found a friend. He looked at the devastated place where the Spirit plants were grown, curiously asked. “Why when you came out, all these spirit plants died?”

It was as if that white cat understood what Lu Feng meant, it went to a seed which had not grown, then waited for it to ripen, it opened its mouth. Lu Feng could see the Spirit plants giving out a green gas which all went into the white cat’s mouth. Then the plant immediately withered.

Lu Feng gasped, “You can eat the Spirit plant essence?” The white cat happily rolled around, as if to convey what Lu Feng said was correct. Lu Feng gloomily sighed, “This Immortal Realm cat, definitely special.”

Lu Feng knew his chances of making a spirit pill were extinguished. He then used the surplus time to control his straw slippers. Also he wanted to use the white cat as a training partner, as this white cat was very fast. Everytime he wanted to catch it, it would slip away quickly. Meanwhile, Lu Feng’s control over the slippers gradually increased.

Only when the sky outside turned dark did Lu Feng came out. He looked at the dark floor and secretly muttered, “She should have already fallen asleep.” Subsequently Lu Feng also decided to turn in. Suddenly a voice could be heard beside him, “What were you doing at the bas.e.m.e.nt?”

Soon after a flickering green light could be seen, revealed to be numerous spirit lamps.Miss Bai was standing at the stairs staring at Lu Feng. Lu Feng embarra.s.sedly said, “I wanted to look at the painting downstairs.”
“Don’t touch those things” Young Miss Bai coldly said, Lu Feng curiously asked, “Miss Bai, who does the painting in the bas.e.m.e.nt belong to ah?”
