Chapter 340: Die
A frosty look appeared on Lin Feng's face as he watched the raging flames surge. Since Zhao Biao had followed another's orders to kill him and steal his treasures,
he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless. Scum like Zhao Biao was not worthy of his mercy!
After one last glance at the roaring fire, Lin Feng departed nonchalantly. However, he couldn't completely let his guard down.
After all, he had just learned that Zhao Biao, the Gang Leader of the Cyan Nether Gang with the strength of the Late Stage of Innate, was merely a pawn.
He didn't even know who was behind his opponent, so of course, he had to be incredibly cautious.
Lin Feng wasted no time and headed directly back to the hotel.
He now had all the medicinal ingredients prepared. The only thing left was to refine them into the pill he needed!
...
"Brother Wang, this is bad! Zhao Biao failed and was killed by Lin Feng!"
In the CEO's office of the Wang Pharmaceutical Group, the newly promoted Vice General Manager, Zhang Hao, stood before Wang Kai Xuan, who had just returned from a private club, his expression filled with terror.
For an ordinary person like him to have reached his current position, he was naturally tied at the hip to Wang Kai Xuan, the young master of the Wang Family.
One could say he was the hand that did Wang Kai Xuan's dirty work, so he understood how dire the situation with Lin Feng was. And now, with Zhao Biao murdered, this was absolutely not a game!
"What did you say? Lin Feng killed Zhao Biao!"
Wang Kai Xuan's eyes widened in fury as he glared at Zhang Hao. He was well aware of Zhao Biao's strength. After all, he had paid a great price to have *that person* step in and order the hit!
And now, he'd been killed by Lin Feng in less than three days?!
How was he going to explain this to the young master from the Hidden Clan!
"I got the news from one of Zhao Biao's men. I'm not too clear on the specific details."
Zhang Hao explained hastily, afraid of getting dragged into the matter.
"Damn it, what a useless piece of trash!"
Wang Kai Xuan cursed, then looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Go, get me the phone from the very back of the safe. Hurry!"
By the end, Wang Kai Xuan's voice had grown hysterical.
"Yes, yes!"
Zhang Hao, trembling with fear, quickly backed out of the office to retrieve the phone from the safe.
Wang Kai Xuan was his meal ticket; he couldn't afford to get on his bad side!
Soon, Zhang Hao placed what Wang Kai Xuan was looking for into his hands.
Snatching the phone, Wang Kai Xuan's hands began to tremble. Though it was just an extremely old-fashioned cell phone, it felt as heavy as a mountain, a weight his hands could barely support.
"Hello?"
Although he was already terrified, he steeled himself and dialed the only number saved on the phone.
The phone rang twice before it was answered, but the other end was silent for a long time. Just as Wang Kai Xuan thought the call had been disconnected, an extremely flippant voice suddenly came through.
"Yo, Little Wang? Why the hell are you calling me? I was right in the middle of having some fun!"
"Bro... Brother Lv, it's... it's me."
"I, I have something to tell you."
Wang Kai Xuan replied, his voice trembling slightly, and said slowly, "Brother Lv, I just received news... Zhao Biao... he's dead. That kid killed him..."
"Hm? Dead?"
"What did you say? Say that to me again!"
"Do you have any idea what a Late Stage of Innate Martial Artist means?!"
"That's an existence considered invincible in the Mortal Realm, and you're telling me he's dead?!"
BANG!
The sound of something being smashed came through the phone, and then there was nothing.
BEEP… BEEP… BEEP…
Listening to the dial tone, Wang Kai Xuan collapsed into his chair, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
He couldn't believe the news could be true, yet the reality was laid bare before him.
Zhao Biao was dead. The man he sent to assassinate Lin Feng, Zhao Biao, was actually dead!
'How could this be? Doesn't this mean Lin Feng is also a master of the Late-stage Innate Realm? How is that possible!'
'But I heard Lin Feng was just from some small city, Xijing! Where would he get the cultivation resources to raise his level? This makes no logical sense!'
'Could it be... that kid's been playing me for a fool all along!'
At this thought, Wang Kai Xuan was completely floored. This time, he had suffered a massive loss!
...
Lin Feng was sleepless all night, his eyes fixed on the Alchemy Furnace before him, which had been roasting in flames for the entire night. His eyes were bloodshot, but he remained energetic as he stood guard.
He had to melt all the ingredients into a medicinal liquid tonight, then condense that liquid into pills.
Otherwise, if he failed, the loss would be so great that even he would find it devastating.
After all, he wasn't in the same position as before; gathering so many top-grade materials again would be extremely time-consuming.
WHOOSH...
Letting out a long, turbid breath, Lin Feng finally made it to six o'clock the next morning. As the rays of the rising sun illuminated him, all his fatigue from the previous night was swept away.
"Success!"
Gazing at the five small pills floating in mid-air before him—crimson with a hint of blue—the corners of Lin Feng's mouth lifted into a slight smile.
He had succeeded!
The five Spirit Pills he had successfully refined were none other than the Red Fruit Pills he had worked so hard to gather the ingredients for!
Without hesitation, Lin Feng picked up one of the Spirit Pills from the table and swallowed it.
Pure energy instantly exploded within Lin Feng's body. The violent power was so immense that he felt for a moment as if his Dantian could not contain it!
However, Lin Feng wasn't concerned. With his current physical constitution, he could have swallowed all five pills at once and still withstood it, let alone just one.
"Hmph, not enough of a kick. Time for another!"
Another Red Fruit Pill went down, instantly transforming into a massive amount of pure Inner Strength!
Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the floor, circulating his Cultivation Technique to frantically absorb the Spiritual Qi from the world around him.
At the same time, his physical body became even more formidable under the baptism of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. He even grew nearly an inch taller in a short time, his skin becoming as translucent and flawless as fine jade.
Lin Feng felt the surging power inside him. He knew this was because he had broken through. The feeling was simply too good. He wished he could sit down cross-legged on the spot and use the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to charge all the way to the Peak of Late Stage Innate in one go.
However, that wasn't the wisest course of action. For now, Lin Feng had confirmed one thing: the Red Fruit Pill could indeed help him break through his bottleneck!
