《Refining the Mountains and Rivers》Chapter 1085A – Feature ‘Vanishes’
Advertisement
Qin Yu confirmed that he hadn’t misheard. When Feature saw Elder Ao Fa, she revealed an unnatural look.
Although that look disappeared quickly, it was enough to confirm his previous guess…she really did have some sort of secret agreement with this Demon Dragon Elder.
Moreover, it was also a ten day agreement. Just what was this woman planning?
Before Qin Yu could think further, Feature pushed her bowl away and stood up. She smiled, “Elder Ao Fa arrived quickly.”
As if sensing the discontent in her voice, Elder Ao Fa had a cautious expression. “Of course. Since this was miss’ request, I didn’t dare delay.”
“Humph.” Feature turned and walked away. “Come with me…” After she spoke she whispered something beneath her breath, but her voice was too low to be heard
Elder Ao Fa smiled. He glanced at Qin Yu, bowing briefly before following behind.
There was a cave near the waterfall. Perhaps demon beasts lived here long ago, but now it was empty.
Old Fox had tidied it up. Feature didn’t sleep here last night, so this was the perfect location to have a chat with Elder Ao Fa.
Rumble rumble –
The crashing sounds of the waterfall continuously entered the senses, covering up all sounds that came from the cave so no one could hear what the two were speaking about.
Around two hours later, Elder Ao Fa emerged from the cave. His complexion was slightly white and his eyes were shaking, as if he had encountered something unbelievable.
He looked at Qin Yu once again. His lips moved but he didn’t say anything. His eyes were just a bit more complex.
There was some confusion, some envy…and even some unhappiness?
“Miss Feature would like you to go in.” As he spoke, Elder Ao Fa moved to the side.
Qin Yu frowned and walked into the cave.
The inside wasn’t too large. With Old Fox’s careful arrangements, it could be considered a comfortable place. Behind a long and narrow table, Feature sat on a soft couch. Her eyes shined as she saw Qin Yu, “You came.”
Qin Yu nodded, feeling that these words were unnecessary. But inexplicably, he didn’t want to argue with her. He went straight to the point and said, “What is the deal with this ten day appointment?”
Feature waved her hand. “I’ll explain it to you later. I have several matters to arrange first.” She lifted a finger, pointing to the various jars and pots placed on the table. “The ones with names on them were especially prepared by me. The ones not marked are for later use. The effects are written on them.
“Black Astral’s potential is good. If it weren’t for the fact that he received a heavy injury many years ago, causing his bloodline to wither away, he would have already achieved his current boundary. He would even have a chance of attacking the Demon King boundary and obtaining the approval of the abyss’ will. What I can give him will fill in all the flaws in his cultivation from these past years and allow him one chance to attack the Demon King realm. If he succeeds, you will have a Demon King super fighter on your side.”

She stared at Qin Yu, hinting at him not to interrupt her. She continued to say, “Old Fox’s cooking skills are top notch, but what a pity that his demon seed bloodline is lacking. Even if he uses the demon medicine I give him, breaking through to the Demon Commander realm is the terminal limit of his life. There is no chance of him being able to advance further.
“As for Shadowless Demon…that fellow’s condition is the most marvelous. I have no idea what he experienced, but his demon seed bloodline suddenly changed, thus giving him his current super strong concealing abilities. Of course, strong is strong, but what is bad is also bad. Because of the sudden change to his bloodline, he couldn’t find the appropriate direction to improve himself, dooming himself to limited achievements. The demon medicine I give him is only an attempt. Perhaps it can help him open up an entirely different path or perhaps it might have no use at all. In short, everything depends on his luck!”
After saying so much, Feature licked her lips and took a sip of tea. She let out a satisfied sigh, “Of course, nothing comes for free in this world. Although they have put forth some effort, my demon medicines aren’t so cheap and easily obtained. I left behind something inside the demon medicine. If they are willing to serve you as their master…of course, it isn’t something abnormal like the abyssal slave contract, but it can at least guarantee you can control them and they won’t dare to betray you.
“If they agree, they can completely absorb the medicinal efficacy and will earn the qualifications to fight for a greater and more radiant future. If they refuse, they will still absorb a part of the medicinal efficacy. This can be considered as repayment for their hard work for this period of time. But, it will be impossible for them to obtain the previous effects I spoke about. There is nothing much for you to say about this. Just let them make their own choice.”
Qin Yu was expressionless. If one looked carefully, they would find there was a stiff and wooden feeling to his apparent indifference.
As if he was forcibly putting on an act to hide his true inner emotions. He looked at Feature and slowly said, “What are you saying all of this to me for? Feature, what are you doing?”
Feature rolled her eyes. “Don’t interrupt me. How about you let me finish speaking before you ask me questions?”
She flicked her sleeves. Without any fluctuations of strength, three jade boxes appeared.
Compared to the bottles and jars from before, these three jade boxes were clearly not ordinary. They were pitch black and flawless, as if formed from the deepest night. Complex textures were carved on their surface, connecting together. It was unknown what it meant, but it gave off a mysterious feeling.

“These jade boxes are made from top quality demon crystals. They are some things I ripped off from that old dragon Ao Fa the last time I saw him. They can hold all sorts of precious goods without fear that their strength will leak out.” Feature raised an eyebrow in satisfaction. “That is me. If any other person was to try this? Hehe, if they dared to blackmail for treasures from the abyssal demon dragons that are naturally fond of treasures, they would be torn into pieces!”
Feature stared at Qin Yu, “Although you are a brat that is usually rude to me and have even given birth to some extremely disrespectful thoughts, I am after all a magnanimous person, so I won’t lower myself to your level. So the things inside these three jade boxes are gifts that I meticulously prepared for you…tsk tsk, if someone were to go through so much trouble to prepare gifts for me, that would truly be wonderful. What a pity, what a pity…so Qin Yu, you must be ecstatic with joy right now!
“Humph! In the first jade box is some fresh and warm blood that just came from that old dragon Ao Fa. Once you bathe in it, your demon body will absorb it, automatically giving you a half-dragon physique. Although it is weaker than an abyssal demon dragon’s body, it is still enough to make your current body at least ten times more formidable. The strength of the abyssal demon race originates from their demon seed bloodline. But, they don’t seem to know that only by possessing a sufficiently formidable mortal body can they hold a stronger demon seed bloodline.
“In the second jade box is the blood sphere that came from the dead red-eye demon leader. If you plan to refine an avatar in the future, it will be the best material to do so. Don’t ask too much. Just remember that if you plan on refining an avatar, you mustn’t forget this thing.
“As for the last jade box…that is something that can strengthen your titan bloodline. Due to time and material considerations, I am not too sure how effective it will be. But it cannot be worse than it is now. At the very least with the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror you can maintain the titan true body you are capable of summoning now.”
Feature rubbed her eyebrows, her face paling. It seemed that speaking so much had consumed a great deal of mental power.
She lifted a teacup and finished it before setting it back down. She looked at Qin Yu and laughed, “How obedient. I told you to keep quiet and listen, and now I’ve said everything I needed to say. It’s your turn to ask.”
Qin Yu frowned, a dignified look on his face. “Feature, what is happening to you?”
Ten day appointment or whatever, that was tossed to the side long ago. He suddenly realized that things were different from what he thought.
Feature chuckled. “Are you thinking that what I just said sounds similar to someone confessing their final words?” She snapped her fingers and pointed at Qin Yu, “Congratulations once again, you got it right!”
Qin Yu’s face darkened. He roared out loud, “Feature! How can you joke around with something like this? This is a serious question!”
“I know, so I am also earnestly replying to you.” Feature smiled, her curved eyes becoming brighter. “I really am going to die!”
Qin Yu stiffened and his frown deepened. Emotions roiled deep below his eyes, like a raging volcano that would erupt at any moment.
Feature shrank back her head, unhappily saying, “What, you can clearly sense that I’m not lying, so why are you looking at me with such threatening eyes? I’m going to die soon; don’t you have any compassion at all? I just gave you so many parting gifts!”
Qin Yu’s lips moved a few times. Finally, he said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll ask you one more time. You…are you really going to die?”
Feature nodded, an inexplicable emotion flashing in her eyes. But before it was caught, it had already disappeared.
She patted the soft couch and beckoned Qin Yu, “Come, sit down. I don’t have much time so hurry up and ask me what you want to ask. I’ll do my best to answer.”
Qin Yu nodded. He sat down beside her and said, “Are you truly dying? You know what I am speaking about, so please be serious with me.”
He turned his head, staring straight into her eyes.

Starlight Antiquities
There is a place in the galaxy that deals in antiquities of all kinds, human and non-human alike. Its inventory of artifacts is colossal as is its inventory of mercs who they hire to acquire any artifact a client may wish that is yet to come into their possession. The ill-reputable business is constantly rubbing against the changing tolerance of the Union's government, and there are many security officers who would love nothing better than to vaporize the whole place with its owners inside. Yet, there are many tasks that nobody can do better, especially in the vastness of deep space where Union law is worth less than the energy needed to display it. One of its jobs involves finding an artifact that may not only hold the future of the human race but may also disturb the balance of the whole galaxy. *** While waiting for the next season of Mandalorian and the Witcher, and rewatching Firefly for the gazillionth of time, I decided to write this space-based series. The series has some litRPG elements in it, but it does not read like one. So, you won't run into any blue screens here. Yet, I wanted to use litRPG to give another dimension to this whole story and make it as unique as possible. This is a work-in-progress. Hope to keep on improving and fixing my mistakes as I go along.
