Chapter 130: Chapter 128: Obtaining the Exorbitantly Priced Treasured Medicine: Earth Spirit Vermilion Fruit, Still No Pants!

Three days later, on a mountain trail.

"Pfft!"

The tip of the blade suddenly pierced through the neck of an Iron Chain Demon from behind, black blood spraying out.

Then the blade swept across, severing a large part of its neck.

Ambush!

"Errr..."

The Iron Chain Demon, caught off guard and fatally attacked, bulged its eyes as intense red light suddenly flared from the large hole in its chest.

It was about to detonate its energy core!

But the next second, a palm forcefully slapped its head, delivering a heavy blow.

With a "smack," its wobbly head immediately flew off, shriveling up into a small bundle in mid-air.

The similarly shrunken corpse slowly fell over, revealing Chu Feng standing behind it wearing a gas mask, wielding a Tang Sword, and exposing his long white legs.

A wave of faintly red hot air dissipated around him, as the Wind Concealment state vanished along with the slaying of this Iron Chain Demon.

[Contact with...]

’The twenty-seventh Demon Soldier!

’These idiots who don’t know how to use spiritual power really are my treasure trove!’

With the Wind Concealment state, Chu Feng could freely ambush enemies without being discovered—this Iron Chain Demon Domain was practically his backyard!

Gleefully crouching down, he removed the bundle from the target and forcefully pulled off the iron chains from its body before turning to leave.

Returning to the gap between the two huge rocks where he was temporarily staying, he dropped the iron chains on the ground and let out a deep breath.

The ground was piled with three large heaps of iron chains.

Relying on Wind Concealment for more ambushes, he had wielded his might in enemy territory, killing a total of 27 Demon Soldiers and one Demon Emissary, gaining 33 attribute points.

He had almost completely slaughtered all the Soldier Level Iron Chain Demons in the vicinity that gathered heavenly materials and earthly treasures!

After deducting 4 points for healing, his attribute points now reached an impressive 38.6.

Precious medicinal materials scavenged from the Iron Chain Demons’ bundles, when calculated at market price, were already worth over twenty million!

Together with the chains confiscated from the Demon Emissary, these herbs were stuffed into his backpack.

Such a harvest was mainly due to him killing an Envoy Level Iron Chain Demon and confiscating an earth spirit vermilion fruit.

Just this treasured medicine, which could wash essence and marrows for the family’s descendants and increase the affinity of both earth and fire attributes, could easily be exchanged for more than eight million Longhua Currency!

Such sought-after fruits would spark fierce competition among families once available, with prices likely to inflate significantly.

Unfortunately, he was already grown up; his physical foundation was set, and consuming it would be of no benefit to him.

Of course, killing the Envoy Level Iron Chain Demon also left him in a sorry state, with one side of his gas mask shattered and his body covered with black and gray marks.

At that time, the Envoy Level Iron Chain Demon, accompanied by a Demon Soldier, was patrolling a canyon and happened to block Chu Feng’s path, the two sides meeting on a narrow road.

With cliffs on both sides, there was no way to bypass them, so Chu Feng had no choice but to fight the two Iron Chain Demons.

Dodging the incoming hook of the iron chains, he first killed the Demon Soldier, then used Sun Destroying Heart Palm to blast the Demon Emissary to death with three punches.

But before the Demon Emissary died, it heroically detonated its energy core!

Not only did the iron chains burst and fly apart, but it also left Chu Feng with light injuries from being barely able to avoid the blast.

This also led to the loss of an Innate Level energy core, which was worth more than ten times that of a Foundation Establishment energy core!

Fortunately, before the battle, the Demon Emissary had thrown its bundle aside, which wasn’t affected by the explosion, and the earth spirit vermilion fruit remained intact inside the wooden box.

This allowed Chu Feng to soothe the wounds in his heart, generously forgiving the deceased Envoy Level Iron Chain Demon.

However, his goal for this journey—collecting resources needed for promotion—still had not been achieved.

It was simply bad luck; passing through two lava caves on the way, he had not seen any trace of the Earthfire Melding Spirit Liquid.

As for the Pure Yang Grass, he had seen it, but someone had already harvested it, leaving only stubs behind.

Chu Feng searched the surrounding area extensively but couldn’t find the little thief who had stolen his Spirit Grass!

...

After sorting out the loot, he cursed the Iron Chain Demon he had just killed, "You shameless pauper, you don’t even wear pants!"

Chu Feng shouldered his bulging marching pack again, looking at the three large piles of Iron Chains at his feet, he fell into a dilemma.

These Soldier Level Iron Chains were too heavy; not only would carrying them require a huge expenditure of energy, but the rattling of metal would also give away his position.

Taking them with him was obviously not a good idea.

But to leave them behind seemed such a waste.

These piles of Iron Chains could be taken outside to extract their Essence and forge at least eight or nine decent True Soldiers, or four or five sets of True Armor.

The profits would amount to at least ten million, not something Chu Feng, who currently had less than four million, could afford to ignore.

He took out his information terminal, checked the map, and made a decision.

"I’ll bury them here first, and come back to retrieve them after I’ve rested! Where can I buy a Storage Ring, that essential Divine Artifact for killing and arson?"

He squatted on the ground, his hands glowing red as he wrestled with digging a large hole, suddenly recalling the scene where He Guanshan mysteriously produced the Top Scholar Gold Book and the drone storage cabinet.

’There must be Storage Rings or similar space items! Ordinary people shouldn’t be able to buy them, and I haven’t reached that level yet...’

’Now that I have money and my spending isn’t a concern anymore since I’ve broken through my Realm, I’ll go and ask Old Lu to procure it for me when I get back!’

’As a university professor, he must be able to get those things!’

He buried the Iron Chains in sections, scattered the excess soil, exerted his True Force to compact the raised ground, then stamped on it a few times with force.

He quietly emerged from the resting spot, sticking close to the rock face as he stealthily made his way back toward the base.

...

Elsewhere.

A ponytailed man named Li Ying leaned against the side of a cave, his face contorted with pain, his forehead dripping with sweat.

There was a wrist-thick wound on his lower shoulder area, making it clear that the person who inflicted it was exceedingly brutal.

The wound was deep, exposing ghastly white bone, and the edges were charred, with many black threads extending from them outward.

His entire body was glowing red with fever, as he focused his True Force to suppress the spreading black lines.

Where the True Force met the black threads, there were occasional "sizzling" sounds, and wisps of black smoke emerged.

Suddenly, he forcefully exhaled and called out in a low voice, "Dai Sheng, have they left yet?

"My True Force is about to run out, and I can’t hold back the fire poison much longer; I must get back to the base for treatment!"

The skinny man named Dai Sheng quickly stepped into the cave from the entrance, whispering, "Keep it down; those Demons haven’t left yet!

"I have a few blue bottles here; take these for now."

Modern Martial Artists, influenced by games and novels, liked to call the Elixir that replenishes True Force the blue bottle, and the Elixir for healing injuries the red bottle.

He took out a glass bottle containing more than ten earth-yellow pills. When Li Ying saw them, he burst into anger:

"Damn it, these are Earth Attribute!"

"My Cultivation Technique is Earth Attribute, of course I carry Earth Attribute Elixirs! They’re just less efficient, not like they’re inedible! Hurry up and take them!"

Dai Sheng rolled his eyes and forcefully stuffed three pills into Li Ying’s mouth.

Li Ying swallowed the Elixirs with difficulty, then operated his Cultivation Technique furiously and said resentfully:

"The efficiency of converting Earth Attribute into Fire Attribute is less than fifty percent; I still have to expend energy to refine my True Force!

"It’s all because of you that I got injured so badly; this time I want a fifty percent share!"

Dai Sheng whispered back angrily, "Cut the crap, don’t try to hike up the price sitting down! I’m injured too!

"Forty-six, forty for you, sixty for me, not a penny less!"

He showed Li Ying a similarly deep wound on his buttocks, his face expressing pain.

Li Ying was at a loss for words, then turned, wearing a look of resentment and despair akin to a man at the end of his rope:

"You bastard, what exactly did you take?

"Three days and nights, a full three days and nights! The Iron Chain Demons aren’t eating, drinking, sleeping, or resting just to chase us down!

"Show me, or if I die, I won’t rest in peace!"
