Extreme Almightiest Young Master
Chapter 2485 - 2464: Sanfeng and Four Seas
Chapter 2464 Sanfeng, Four Seas
Lin Feng returned to the previous VIP room, and Tao Tao and Tangyuan immediately gathered around.
"Brother Lin, what did Elder Chu say?" Tao Tao looked at Lin Feng and immediately asked. She knew Lin Feng must have contacted Elder Chu.
"Nothing too special, but Elder Zhao here is half a master to Elder Chu. You can completely trust Elder Zhao. In the future, things will be much easier for us in Ling City." Lin Feng responded calmly.
Upon hearing this, Tao Tao let out a sigh of relief, but Ma Biaohu seemed to understand some things. He hadn’t met Elder Chu before; he only occasionally heard Lin Feng and Tao Tao talk about him. It was only now that he realized Lin Feng and the auction house had a connection. He knew that all the auctions in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm belonged to the top power, the Myriad Gods Tower. Thinking of this, his complexion changed. He didn’t expect Lin Feng to be connected to the Myriad Gods Tower!
"Boss, what do we do next, the same old plan?" Tangyuan looked at Lin Feng and said with a smile.
"Yes, the same old plan!" Lin Feng looked at Tangyuan, gently patted his head, and then laughed. Tangyuan was getting smarter, already knowing what he had planned.
"What’s the old plan you’re talking about?" Ma Biaohu became confused again upon hearing this, not understanding what Lin Feng and Tangyuan meant.
"Brother Lin’s old plan is to buy a shop and then open a Holy Pill Pavilion here!" Tao Tao covered her mouth with laughter, explaining the situation to Ma Biaohu since he didn’t know about it.
"Open a Holy Pill Pavilion?" Ma Biaohu was taken aback when he heard Tao Tao say this, having never considered such a thing. He had looked into the prices of shops in Pingcheng and knew they were astronomical figures. Without a backing, even if a shop were bought, it couldn’t sustain itself. He couldn’t help but doubt if Lin Feng was really that wealthy, and how Lin Feng would ensure the shop’s operation?
Suddenly, he recalled a scene at the Medicine Spirit Pond, where he remembered Lin Feng as a top-notch alchemist, and he began to understand some things...
As they were talking, a hearty laugh sounded from outside the door, and then Elder Zhao pushed the door open and entered.
"Young Friend Lin, I really didn’t expect you to be such a remarkable person. Young Chu has already told me about you. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you just as he does. Here, take these Yuan Stones." Elder Zhao said kindly, handing Lin Feng a space bag after a simple sentence.
Lin Feng smiled lightly, not standing on ceremony, and took the space bag directly. These Yuan Stones were definitely those mentioned by Elder Chu. However, he thought for a moment and said to Elder Zhao, "Elder Zhao, could these three girls stay with you for a few days? I need to handle some things, and it’s inconvenient to bring them along."
"No problem! I’ll arrange it." Elder Zhao agreed without hesitation. Suddenly recalling Elder Chu’s words, he promptly asked Lin Feng, "Uh... Young Friend Lin, I heard you can refine Flawless Quality Elixirs. Could you possibly make some for our auction house to bask in the glory?"
As he said this, Elder Zhao felt a bit awkward. Meeting Lin Feng for the first time, their relationship wasn’t as close as with Chu Yunpeng. However, for the sake of the auction house, he couldn’t help but make this request, hoping Lin Feng would consider it for Chu Yunpeng’s sake and lend some support to Ling City Auction House.
Seeing Elder Zhao’s awkward demeanor, Lin Feng laughed and said, "That can be arranged. Just prepare the Spiritual Medicine needed for the elixirs you want to refine. When I have time, I’ll come to help you with it. As for the compensation, Elder Chu has likely discussed it with you."
"Great, great, I’ll immediately start gathering the Spiritual Medicine and wait for you to refine the elixirs for our auction house!" Elder Zhao’s eyes lit up with joy upon hearing this, thrilled beyond measure. A Flawless Quality alchemist was extremely rare, and having Flawless Quality Elixirs would surely elevate Ling City Auction House to a new level!
"Alright, Elder Zhao, I’ll take my leave now!" Seeing that there was nothing else to discuss, Lin Feng got up and left with Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu, leaving the three girls temporarily at Ling City Auction House.
After leaving the auction house, Lin Feng began exploring the market in Ling City with Tao Tao, Ma Biaohu, and Tangyuan. The market here was indeed somewhat different from other places. Although the shops lined the streets, each was quite large, while the street vendors were gathered in a massive square.
"Let’s first check out the vendors and see if there’s anything worth picking up." Lin Feng glanced at the distant square and, seeing the bustling crowd, suggested heading over there. The shops were fixed, but the vendors might have some hidden gems.
There were so many vendors that even though the square spanned nearly ten miles, it was still packed. Often, as soon as one vendor sold out, the spot would quickly be filled by another, happily selling everything related to cultivation.
Seeing the buzz, Lin Feng, Tao Tao, and Ma Biaohu dove into the crowd and disappeared in an instant...
......
Ling City City Lord Mansion!
Inside a spacious and luxurious room, Cui Sihai, dressed in an earth-gray long robe and looking somewhat aged yet not old at all, wore an extremely troubled expression. He stared at the broken Lifebound Talisman in his hand, unable to speak for a long time. This talisman belonged to his precious son, Cui Sanfeng, and its breaking symbolized his son’s death!
After a long while, he finally awoke from his grief, his face darkened, holding the broken Lifebound Talisman as he walked into City Lord Liu Tianyang’s study.
Clad in a black long robe, with silver snow-like hair tied up, Liu Tianyang, whose face appeared rosy and exuded a powerful aura, was writing when he suddenly noticed Cui Sihai entering from outside. Upon seeing Cui Sihai’s expression, he immediately knew something was amiss, quickly putting down his pen and striding over to Cui Sihai.
"Elder Cui, what happened?" At this moment, Liu Tianyang frowned deeply, questioning Cui Sihai. He sensed that something major must have occurred; otherwise, Cui Sihai’s expression would not have turned so grave.
Upon hearing Liu Tianyang’s words, Cui Sihai’s face bore a grievous look as he immediately released his palm, revealing the shattered Lifebound Talisman to Liu Tianyang. Instantly, Liu Tianyang’s face also changed color; he finally understood what had happened...
"Sanfeng had trouble?" Liu Tianyang’s face turned very ugly; he never imagined such a thing could happen. Who in Ling City didn’t know Cui Sanfeng’s identity, yet trouble befell him. If he didn’t resolve this matter, the consequences would be quite troublesome.
"Yes!" Hearing this, Cui Sihai responded coldly with a murderous aura, and then he added: "Leave this matter to you, City Lord, to investigate. Find out who laid hands on my son; I’ll personally deliver vengeance and kill them for my son’s sake!"
"No problem, I’ll issue orders immediately!" Liu Tianyang agreed promptly, then summoned the messenger to begin investigating Cui Sanfeng’s death with the authority of the City Lord. Cui Sihai left Liu Tianyang’s study with a cold expression.
Within Ling City, thirty thousand troops were tasked with tracing someone’s whereabouts, making it quite easy. Shortly, they discovered the specifics and sent the detailed report into Liu Tianyang’s hands.
"Hmm, this case is rather peculiar!"
Looking at the document in hand, Liu Tianyang instantly grew puzzled because the city troops hadn’t detected any attackers nor figured out how Cui Sanfeng died. His last presence was in the wealthy district, then he suddenly vanished, as if he’d evaporated from this world!
This situation was truly bizarre; from a chronological perspective, Cui Sanfeng must have encountered trouble within the city, and with a dozen Divine Origin Realm late-stage warriors accompanying him, even if conflict arose, the city’s troops should’ve noticed!
Rubbing his forehead, Liu Tianyang realized this incident wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed; there must be unknown circumstances involved. After musing, he immediately summoned his trusted confidant, instructing: "Head to this location, like so..."
Six hours later, his confidant returned, presenting the investigation results to Liu Tianyang.
"Why is it still like this?"
Despite the newest investigation results in front of him, Liu Tianyang frowned again. His confidant had gone, only to uncover that Cui Sanfeng’s last appearance was inside an inn, after which he and his men vanished post-departure.
This situation suggested only one thing: Cui Sanfeng definitely had some purpose there, but in that instance, a thought about Cui Sanfeng’s usual conduct suddenly emerged, prompting a closer examination of the report.
Indeed, it was so!
After thoroughly reviewing the report, Liu Tianyang instantly pieced together a rough idea of events: A man and a woman bought the three girls Cui Sanfeng had kidnapped. Cui Sanfeng then targeted this couple intending to rob them, but subsequently, for unknown reasons, he and his men were obliterated without even leaving corpses!
This analysis stemmed from Liu Tianyang considering Cui Sanfeng’s habitual behavior, proving Liu Tianyang’s intellect. Understanding these points, he promptly rose and headed to Cui Sihai’s room.
Upon knocking and entering, Liu Tianyang immediately handed two reports to Cui Sihai, adding: "If my inference is correct, the ones who killed nephew Sanfeng are likely the last buyers of those three girls—the man and woman."
Upon hearing this, Cui Sihai’s body erupted with boundless murderous intent; he rapidly stood up and headed towards the Outer Sect...
