Chapter 2132 - 2133: Hair Growth Secret Recipe

"Ling...Brother Ling?"

Tang Yong was stunned, but the next moment, he was even more dumbfounded.

The Ling Feng in front of him still looked like Ling Feng, but he had no hair or eyebrows. His whole body was dressed in wild animal skins, and not just that, he was carrying big and small bags all over.

This was completely different from the somewhat scholarly-looking Ling Feng before.

"Couldn’t it be me?"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, releasing his grip, and with a playful smile said, "What, Brother Tang, do you usually have a habit of slapping yourself?"

"Of course not."

Tang Yong’s old face turned red, as he carefully scrutinized Ling Feng a few times, unable to help but ask, "Brother Ling, you actually managed to escape from the chase of the Desert Fire Demon? And... just lost a bit of hair?"

Ling Feng pouted. If it weren’t for him accidentally stumbling into the Desert Fire Demon’s lair, not even a hair would have been lost.

"Otherwise, would you only be happy if I died in there?"

Ling Feng glared at Tang Yong with a hint of displeasure.

"No, no, Brother Ling, I’m really happy that you came out alive."

Tang Yong waved his hands repeatedly, this guy truly was just as straightforward as he seemed, a real "Big Stupid Bear".

Ye Feixue and Ning Gucheng also walked up with a smile, "It’s great that Brother Ling returned safely."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, then tossed out a bundle of animal skins, saying casually, "Inside here are two Burning Heart Lotuses. My luck wasn’t too bad. With these two Burning Heart Lotuses, completing the mission should be enough."

Tang Yong’s eyes lit up. To think that not only had Ling Feng returned, but he also brought such great surprises.

"And these."

Ling Feng threw out a package full of Beast Bones, "This is filled with Desolate Fire Stone Qi. While it’s not as good as Desert Fire Stone Milk, it’s still a treasure. Let’s share it, everyone."

"How can we?"

All three of Tang Yong’s group voiced their refusal in unison, "Brother Ling, this is all yours, it naturally belongs to you alone!"

"Since we’re a team, the spoils naturally belong to the team."

Ling Feng gave a light smile. Since his teammates had proved loyal to him, he wouldn’t be stingy.

Moreover, he had been the greatest beneficiary this time—not only had he eaten a Heart Burning Emperor Lotus, causing a surge in his strength, but he had also obtained a Demon Core from the Desert Fire Demon.

This haul couldn’t be compared with a little bit of Desolate Fire Stone Qi.

With Ling Feng’s persistent insistence, Tang Yong’s group stopped refusing, but they still let Ling Feng take half, with the three of them splitting the remaining half.

As for the Demon Core and the like, Ling Feng temporarily entrusted them to Tang Yong for safekeeping, as he had no storage treasure with him, and carrying everything around in bags seemed a bit rustic.

Afterwards, Ling Feng borrowed a clean set of clothes from Ning Gucheng, and the group finally returned to the Pure Yang Holy Mountain. (PS: The reason for not borrowing from Tang Yong is because this guy is too big, and Ling Feng simply can’t wear his clothes!)

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

After returning to the Pure Yang Holy Mountain, Ling Feng didn’t step out of the main gate or even the second gate. He focused entirely on refining the massive energy of the Heart Burning Emperor Lotus within himself.

In just three short days, his Dragon Elephant Divine Power had recovered in the amount equivalent to ten dragons, reaching the level of Eighty Dragon Power.

One day, Tang Yong came again.

"Brother Ling, Brother Ling!"

Early in the morning, Ling Feng heard noises from outside the courtyard. Besides Tang Yong, no one else would come find him this early.

Bringing Tang Yong into the courtyard, this guy got straight to the point, "Brother Ling, here are the Contribution Points we received after turning in the Burning Heart Lotus last time, three hundred thousand, and you get seventy percent, that’s two hundred and ten thousand! The rest, Ning Gucheng and I split."

Ling Feng pursed his lips but did not refuse, after all, this was the deal they agreed upon from the start.

"And here, these are the Contribution Points from exchanging the Demon Cores, a total of one hundred and eight Demon Cores, exchanged for two hundred sixty thousand Contribution Points."

"A hundred or so Demon Cores, just for this much Contribution?"

Ling Feng couldn’t help but complain a bit, Pure Yang Palace was really being stingy.

"Heh heh..."

Tang Yong couldn’t resist rolling his eyes, "Twenty-something thousand Contribution Points is quite a sum of money. The task for picking the Burning Heart Lotus was originally only ten thousand Contribution Points, and it was only recently increased to thirty thousand due to being uncompleted for so many years!"

Ling Feng shrugged, because he needed Contribution Points desperately for refining the Forbidden-breaking Pill. Although tens of thousands seemed like quite a bit, it was still not enough.

However, this time’s gain was considerable, bringing him a big step closer to gathering all the materials needed to refine the Forbidden-breaking Pill.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Ling!"

Tang Yong smirked, "Because you saved us and turned into your current appearance, I’m really feeling quite guilty."

As he spoke, Tang Yong took out a load of parcels from his Spirit Storage Ring, placed them on the table, and laughed heartily, "These are gifts I specifically prepared for you!"

Ling Feng couldn’t help but touch his bald head, three days had passed, and his head was still smooth. Perhaps due to the Heart Burning Emperor Lotus’s flames being too strong, they had burned even his hair roots.

It would probably take some time for his hair to grow back.

However, it didn’t really matter, and Ling Feng wasn’t too concerned.

Hearing Tang Yong mention it, Ling Feng couldn’t resist glancing at the packages, asking with a pucker, "And those are?"

"This was something I went through quite an effort to find, it’s the Hair Growth Secret Recipe!"

Tang Yong laughed. "If you want shiny, dense, and good hair, you absolutely must trust me!"

"..."

Ling Feng’s mouth twitched slightly, shiny, dense, and good hair—why did he want to punch this guy?

But Tang Yong was blissfully unaware of reading the room, earnestly explaining, "You shouldn’t underestimate these items. Inside is Black Dry Lotus, which can promote the growth of hair follicles, and Black sesame, rich in natural pigments to strengthen new hair; Atractylodes: effective in improving follicle activity; Polygonum multiflorum: nourishes the roots, making hair naturally black, healthy, and shiny..."

Tang Yong babbled on and on, making Ling Feng’s scalp tingle.

After a while, Ling Feng finally rolled his eyes at Tang Yong in resignation, saying grumpily, "I’m bald, not bald-headed!!!"

He feared that if he didn’t interrupt this guy, he wouldn’t resist punching him!

"Hehehe, no hair, isn’t it the same thing!"

Tang Yong glanced at Ling Feng’s bald head and muttered under his breath. Seeing the unfriendly expression on Ling Feng’s face, he quickly shut up, awkwardly chuckling, "I’ll come see you again next time!"

With that, he beat a hasty retreat.

"Honestly speechless..."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes again, touched his head, and looked at all those parcels on the table...

Luckily the Five Elements Heavenly Palace was sealed, and the Despicable Donkey couldn’t see outside, or he’d definitely be laughed at!

After all, back when the Despicable Donkey swallowed the Holy Dragon Dominator Blood Pill, he grew a horn on his head, turning into a "bald donkey" for a while. Ling Feng had laughed at him no less.

Now the tables had turned!

"Maybe, it’ll be somewhat useful..."

Ling Feng coughed lightly, his eyes fixed on those "Hair Growth Secret Recipes", feeling a slight eagerness in his heart...
