《Supernatural Store: I Have Too Many Divine Equipment》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios During the thirty years of the establishment of Infinium, a city was built on a towering mountain. It was so close to the moon that it was named Zhiyue City1. In this city, there were many level one green grade mythical beasts. Hence, many mercenaries from other places came to purchase. In Infinium, there was no lack of cultivation venues or primary and intermediate colleges established in Zhiyue City. As there were many people gathered here, the business culture in Zhiyue City was extremely developed. However, in this bustling city, there was a small street with very few people. At the end of the street, there was a small shop. The owner of this shop was resting his cheek with his hand and looking at the empty street. That was what it meant to be utterly bored. ¡°Dingdong! The shop owner system has been successfully activated. Do you accept the system procedure?¡± All of a sudden, a nondescript voice sounded in Zhang Feng¡¯s mind, causing him to jolt in shock. It was finally here. He had already transmigrated here for more than half a month. The system he had been waiting for was finally to be activated! From now on, he would begin his climb to greatness. In the future, his shop would be prosperous and he would have countless customers. He would have endless money and beauties to hug¡­ All sorts of beautiful desires had already filled his imagination. At this moment, the electronic voice system reminded Zhang Feng again. ¡°Do you accept the system procedure?¡± Zhang Feng¡¯s thoughts were pulled back as he quickly responded to the system. ¡°Confirm acceptance!¡± Although he didn¡¯t know what kind of system the shop owner¡¯s system was, it was definitely a good golden opportunity. Wasn¡¯t his purpose here to get more money? Immediately after, the system¡¯s voice was still emotionless as it echoed in Zhang Feng¡¯s mind. ¡°The shop owner¡¯s system has been officially activated. Main mission: Opening a shop (Owning a shop, making money from the system, and of course conducting business?) Mission Reward: The shop owner system reward is available. Mission time limit: No time limit. ¡± Zhang Feng turned around to look at his shop, which was more than ten square meters in size. There were swords and shields that looked like metal pancakes lying on the ground. There were also the accumulated food wrappers, tissues, and even moss on the walls due to the humidity. He asked the system in his mind, ¡°Although my shop is a little shabby, is this considered completing the mission?¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t reminded me, I would have thought that you were a savage living in a cave,¡± the system retorted mercilessly. Zhang Feng: ¡°¡­¡± Even though he was faced with the system¡¯s merciless criticism, he still found a direction. Wasn¡¯t it because he found his shop dirty and messy? Thus, Zhang Feng cleaned up the entire shop. He hung the iron sword and shield that were for sale up on the wall and tidied them up. By the time he was done, most of the afternoon had gone by. It looked like a shop now. However, the area of the shop was still a little small. Furthermore, it was built at the end of the most remote part of Zhiyue City. There were at most two or three people walking on the street. Zhang Feng stretched his aching back and summoned the system in his mind. ¡°Now the shop should pass, right?¡± The system was silent for a moment. Perhaps it really did not want to make things difficult for Zhang Feng, so it replied, ¡°Main mission completed. Shop owner system has been activated successfully.¡± After that, a wave of energy swept across the entire shop. Everywhere it passed, there were earth-shattering changes. The cracks on the walls of the shop looked brand new, and even the floor had turned into high-quality porcelain tiles. The facilities inside and outside the shop had been changed. They were decorated as if they were new. Even the windows had become wide cupboards. The originally 10-square-meter store had now become a 60-square-meter store. There was an additional warehouse at the back of the store, and there were many weapons and equipment inside. At the same time that Zhang Feng was shocked, the system spoke, ¡°The shop has officially opened. Please begin to bring out the items for sale.¡± Before Zhang Feng could react, a huge round plate appeared before him. This round plate was filled with many items such as divine beasts, weapons, secret manuals, medicinal herbs, and so on. Zhang Feng¡¯s mouth fell wide open, and his pair of bright eyes were shining with desire. The system¡¯s emotionless voice reminded Zhang Feng, ¡°Host, activate the turntable and you will be rewarded immediately.¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Zhang Feng thought that his luck wouldn¡¯t be bad, considering how he had already encountered a matter like transmigration. Zhang Feng used his mind to turn the wheel, and the needle of the wheel passed through the prize area. The most valuable thing inside was the mythical beast. He thought to himself that he had to get the mythical beast! However, towards the end, the rotation of the wheel became slower and slower. The needle originally had a chance of pointing at the mythical beast, but it had just passed through the selection frame of the mythical beast and ended up on the Immortal Pill. ¡°F*ck!¡± Zhang Feng cursed out. Lady Luck had passed him by! But, the Immortal Pill was pretty decent as well. However, what the system said next made Zhang Feng curse once again¡ª¡±The immortal pill has already entered the backup channel. As the host¡¯s store owner¡¯s level is low, he can only open a low-level immortal pill medicine pool.¡± Zhang Feng was speechless. Where did this level requirement come from? The system had never mentioned it to him before. ¡°I say, shouldn¡¯t you give me an explanation as to what the level of a shop owner means? This thing has an upper and lower class?¡± Zhang Feng¡¯s face was stern. This system was too irresponsible to the host. The system did not reply to Zhang Feng immediately. Instead, a light blue translucent panel appeared in front of Zhang Feng. On it was a message about his information on the system. Host¡¯s Name: Zhang Feng Level: 1 Store income: Five Steel. Storage channels: Low Grade Immortal Pills, Iron Sword, Bronze Shield System evaluation: A rookie store manager (Actual evaluation, one level lower than a rookie. However, since the system¡¯s lowest evaluation is ¡®rookie¡¯, it automatically upgraded to ¡®rookie¡¯.) Zhang Feng looked at the translucent light-blue panel and his long face fell. He thought to himself, Alright, so be it if you¡¯re a rookie. After all, everyone started as a rookie. Thinking up to this point, the system added, ¡°As the shop owner¡¯s level determines the future supply channel, please increase your level to avoid lowering the combined level of the system.¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Unexpectedly, this system was quite good at delivering blows to people. However, now there was a problem. How could he level up? Hence, Zhang Feng asked the system, ¡°How can I raise the level of the shop owner faster?¡± The system replied, ¡°When the stock and the sales reach a certain level, the system will automatically upgrade the shop owner¡¯s level. Completing system missions can also increase the experience points.¡± Zhang Feng nodded thoughtfully. This was just like a planning simulation game, experience is required. ¡°Then open the channel for Immortal Pills for me right now. I want to buy them now!¡± Almost immediately after the system received Zhang Feng¡¯s request, something similar to a lottery machine appeared. The design looked like it was from the 1980s. Zhang Feng thought to himself. ¡°Who exactly developed this system? It¡¯s so tacky. Isn¡¯t it too rustic?¡± Zhang Feng held back on judging this hit on his sense of aesthetics and continued to read the words below the lottery machine. One steel piece to draw a lottery ticket¡­ Damn, this is actually a lucky draw! Zhang Feng¡¯s lips twitched as he asked dumbly, ¡°Dear System, please don¡¯t tell me this is the so-called supply channel?¡± The system replied, ¡°Yes. If the host needs a lottery ticket, you just need to say the number of tickets you want in your mind. The system will automatically transfer the lottery ticket to your account.¡± Zhang Feng touched his pocket. After transmigrating here, other than his daily meals, he only had five steel pieces left. Gritting his teeth, in order to let his shop become better, he chanted in his mind, ¡°Charge all five steel!¡± The system¡¯s notification sounded. ¡°Successfully charged. Current number of lottery tickets: 5 tickets.¡± The exchange was successful. As expected, when Zhang Feng reached into his pocket, the last 5 steel pieces were gone. Alright, let¡¯s see if I can get an Immortal Pill with good attributes! Zhang Feng drew five times in a row. In the end, he received: Invigorate Pill x1, Healing Pill x2, Vital Energy Pill x2. These Immortal Pills were extremely ordinary, but their effects were indeed different. For example, as long as one consumed the Invigorate Pill, there would be a short-term stimulation effect and some health points would be restored. Meanwhile, the Healing Pill also had health restoration, and its restoration value was several levels higher than the Invigorate Pill. As the name suggested, the Vital Energy Pill could allow you to recover part of your strength every five seconds for a period of two minutes. To put it bluntly, the effects of these Immortal Pills were akin to the most basic red and blue medicine bottles when you play games. Anyone who had played games before would know that these were all rewards for beginner players. But Zhang Feng had used his entire fortune in exchange for all of this! Zhang Feng¡¯s heart ached thinking about that. However, he also realized an even more important question. Hence, he asked the System, ¡°Will there really be no side effects after eating these Immortal Pills?¡± The system¡¯s lazy tone instantly changed into an exceptionally proud tone. ¡°System¡¯s first choice, the best choice!¡± What was the point of saying that? He knew how to say things like that too! However, he had already used all his belongings to exchange for these five Immortal Pill bottles. It would be useless even if he wanted to question the system now. Now, he could only place these five bottles in an eye-catching position on the display cabinet to see if there were any customers coming. The first day passed, and no one showed any interest. The second day passed without anyone passing by. On the third day, even the flies were flying around. Zhang Feng stuffed the almost expired bread into his mouth and looked at the price on the cupboard. One Immortal Pill: Ten Essence Stones. One Essence Stone was equivalent to a hundred steel pieces. One steel was enough for three meals a weeks A single steel piece was already a very high price, let alone a rare currency like Essence Stone. Zhang Feng sighed. Drawing goods required steel. After he sold the goods, the system would still draw a portion of the profits. It seemed like this life was coming to an end. Why was it that when other people transmigrated over, they flourished, but when he transmigrated over, he was like a beggar? Coincidentally, the training ground was recruiting students during this period of time. There were a lot of people in Zhiyue City. Even though Zhang Feng¡¯s shop was so far away, there were still hundreds of families on this street. Just as Zhang Feng was wondering if he was going to fall apart in this world, a few young people entered the shop. Zhang Feng¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the customers. ¡°Is the boss of the shop here?¡± The first person of the group was wearing a greenish-gray armor. He was probably their leader. ¡°I am the boss here.¡± Although Zhang Feng¡¯s heart was pounding, he still maintained a calm expression on his face. He couldn¡¯t let others see that this was his first business deal. ¡°Huh? Did we make a mistake? Is this really a shop? Why is there nothing inside?¡± Once the leader entered, he started to stare around Zhang Feng¡¯s shop in confusion. Zhang Feng pointed at the Immortal Pills on the cabinet and said, ¡°Of course it is. We mainly sell these kinds of Immortal Pills.¡± ¡°Immortal Pill?¡± The man repeated Zhang Feng¡¯s words before looking over at him. In fact, in this world, there was no such thing as the Immortal Pills that Zhang Feng was selling. These Immortal Pills were provided by the system, and the people in this world usually used potions refined by alchemists. Therefore, the people of this world were very unfamiliar with ¡®Immortal Pills¡¯. This was why Zhang Feng priced these pills at such a high price. However, there was also a drawback. He was worried that they would not be sold. ¡°What are these things? What are they used for?¡± Sure enough, that man was very curious. ¡°The red bottle contains modern medicine for healing, while the green bottle contains medicine that can increase your strength and reduce your pain. As for the blue bottle, you can use it to recover your strength. For example, after you¡¯ve run for a long time, as long as you consume this bottle, you won¡¯t feel breathless or weak.¡± ¡°There¡¯s such a good thing?¡± The man seemed to be very interested in this. He widened his eyes and picked up the bottles in disbelief. ¡°What are the prices for these?¡±¡± This man¡¯s name was Ge Yangguang. The five of them were new students from the Glory Training Grounds and were about to head to the Forest of the Moon Falls to participate in the training. Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Due to the fact that there had always been more wild beasts in the Forest of the Moon Falls and there were all sorts of trials ahead waiting for them, they decided to bring some useful equipment with them. This way, their chances of success would be higher. Zhang Feng thought that he had already caught them and was overjoyed. However, he still maintained his composure on the surface. ¡°The price is already written on it. Just take a look and you¡¯ll know.¡± Ge Yangguang lowered his head to look at the price and thought that he had seen wrongly. He quickly rubbed his eyes and said, ¡°Ten Essence Stones? You might as well rob them directly!¡± ¡°I can buy a lot of these with just one Essence Stone. You want ten Essence Stones? Are you running a black market shop?¡± Zhang Feng shrugged nonchalantly. ¡°These Immortal Pills are no small matter. They can¡¯t be compared to your alchemy potions. Naturally, they have their own value.¡± Upon hearing that it was so expensive, Ge Yangguang lost all desire to buy it. After cursing a few times, he left with his friends. Zhang Feng could only take in a deep breath. He did not want to sell it at such an expensive price either. However, this system was really a scam. The commission for him was only 1% of the transaction amount. In other words, if Zhang Feng received 10 Essence Stones from the sales, he would only get 10 steel pieces for himself. Today was the Glory Training Grounds¡¯ enrollment day, so the number of people on this street was several times more than usual. After those people left, two more people came very quickly. It was two young men. One was small and delicate, with a baby face that was prettier than a girl¡¯s, while the other looked very strong and handsome, and was about 1.9 meters tall. The two of them were dressed brightly and it was obvious that they were from wealthy families. When Zhang Feng saw that more customers had arrived, he went up to them and asked, ¡°Are you looking for anything?¡± Actually, there was nothing in his shop except for these few bottles of Immortal Pills. The petite boy glanced around Zhang Feng¡¯s shop and asked with a frown, ¡°Boss, is this your residence? Or is it a shop? Why is there nothing here?¡± Perhaps if he was the first person to say something like that, it would give him a huge blow, but Zhang Feng was already used to it now. ¡°We¡¯re selling Immortal Pills that can¡¯t be bought outside.¡± After taking a look at the two brothers, Zhang Feng started introducing again. ¡°The Immortal Pills in this red bottle have healing effects. The green bottle can increase physical strength in the modern world. The Immortal Pills in the blue bottle can help you recover your energy quickly.¡± ¡°This is a good treasure!¡± They were all people who were going to the Forest Training at the Moon Mountain Falls. With these items, they would definitely be at an advantage. ¡°What¡¯s the price of these treasures?¡± the petite boy asked Zhang Feng. ¡°The price is indicated on it.¡± Zhang Feng thought these people were probably rich, so he added, ¡°Pardon me for not bargaining.¡± When the tall and handsome boy took a look, he was dumbfounded. ¡°You want so many Essence Stones? Are you robbing money?¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s just an ordinary alchemy potion, it will only cost one steel! Why are you selling it so expensive here?!¡± the tall and handsome boy said as he raised his sandbag-sized fist, wanting to teach a black market shop owner a lesson. However, the petite boy glared at the tall boy. ¡°Xia He! Don¡¯t you dare touch him!¡± He then looked at Zhang Feng curiously. He felt that Zhang Feng did not look like the type of person who would do shady business. His face looked especially serious. ¡°Boss, it¡¯s not that we can¡¯t afford to pay you, but I want to know if these Immortal Pills of yours really work that well. Is it worth this price?¡± The tall man started to panic. ¡°Brother, you can¡¯t be really considering to buy them?¡± Zhang Feng was breaking out in cold sweat. No way, this petite and cute boy was actually Xia He¡¯s brother? ¡°Of course. It¡¯s precisely because the effects are better than that of alchemy potions that I¡¯m selling it at this price. Besides, I¡¯m the only one who sells such Immortal Pills in the entire Zhiyue City.¡± ¡°Sure! I¡¯ll buy an Invigorate Pill and a Healing Pill.¡± The young man was very generous. He put his hand into his pocket and took out some Essence Stones to place on the table. Zhang Feng counted and there were 24 Essence Stones! It was more than required! ¡°There¡¯s no need for so much¡­¡± Zhang Feng wanted to reject him. After all, this was his first business deal. He couldn¡¯t cheat others. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Just take it as my appreciation for you.¡± This petite boy was called Xia Xi. He didn¡¯t seem to care about giving more or less. On the surface, Zhang Feng seemed to be rejecting him, but in his heart, he was already over the moon. He took the 24 Essence Stones into his arms. ¡°But Brother¡­¡± ¡°Stop talking!¡± Xia Xi glared at his younger brother. When he was lecturing his younger brother, he became especially domineering. He didn¡¯t have the same tone as when he was talking to Zhang Feng. Then, Xia Xi picked up the Healing Immortal Pill and the Invigorate Immortal Pill and said, ¡°These things better be worth the price. If I find out that you lied to me, you should know what will happen, right?¡± Zhang Feng nodded profusely. ¡°If you find out that these Immortal Pills are ineffective, you can come back and find trouble with me anytime. My shop is right here. I won¡¯t be able to escape!¡± Zhang Feng sat behind the counter and put his hand into his pocket before getting up slowly. ¡°Yes, the Xia family is not to be trifled with. I don¡¯t think you have the guts!¡± After Xia Xi finished speaking, he dragged his younger brother, Xia He, who was still grumbling non-stop, away. After the guest left, Zhang Feng heaved a long sigh. ¡°Sigh¡­!¡± It took a total of 3 days to get just this one business deal. Fortunately, he finally had some income now. Otherwise, he would not be able to survive the next day. Zhang Feng had just eaten a small piece of bread, but he was already famished. Indeed, a man needs food. If he didn¡¯t eat just one meal, he would be starving. When Zhang Feng placed these 24 Essence Stones into a small drawer, they immediately turned into 24 steel pieces. Only then did he remember that the system took 99% of the profits! ¡°Hmph! This system is simply greedy for money!¡± Zhang Feng cursed in his heart, but he forgot that his consciousness was connected to the system, so the system heard him. The system issued a warning. ¡°Please mind your manners. Although the system is not human, it still has its dignity. If you insult the system again, the reward will be deducted as punishment!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Zhang Feng was a coward. Upon hearing that, he immediately admitted his mistake. ¡°Yes, I know my mistake. I won¡¯t do it again.¡± The system¡¯s announced again. ¡°Congratulations for completing the main mission and completing the first transaction. You have received a lottery draw x1. Would you like to receive it now?¡± Zhang Feng didn¡¯t even think too much about it. ¡°Of course!¡± After Zhang Feng finished speaking, the lucky draw machine appeared in front of him again. However, the drawing style of this machine was a little better. After Zhang Feng criticized it previously, the system probably changed the style of the lucky draw entrance. Zhang Feng pulled the lottery draw lever. The lottery draw machine started to spin the catalog of prizes. After a few seconds, something that Zhang Feng found very inconceivable appeared on the lottery draw. ¡°Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Crimsonbull Energy Drink x10.¡± Zhang Feng felt like he was in a mess. Speaking of which, System, can you be more mindful? Even if you want to provide energy drinks, you shouldn¡¯t be so stingy, right? On the other side, the two brothers, Xia Xi and Xia He, who had purchased the Invigorate Immortal Pill as well as the Healing Immortal Pill, had already entered the Forest of the Moon Falls. Actually, the training given to these new students in the Glory Trial Grounds this time was very easy. As long as they defeated ten Minotaur monsters, they could complete their training. In this world, most of these people would choose to be any one of the combat types depending on their strength. From the lowest level, they would be Ranger, followed by Warrior, Expert, Kingpin, Connate, and Enlightened. Whenever these levels reached level 10, they could be exchanged for the qualification to level up once. And this qualification to level up was the mark of the next level. If he did not obtain this mark, he would continue to stay at level 10, but he would not level up. It wasn¡¯t just the people in this world who were leveled up this way. Even wild beasts, demonic beasts, magical beasts, and immortal beasts were upgraded in this way. The Minotaur monster was considered a type of wild beast. It would be rather difficult for them to defeat a level-10 beast. However, to the two Xia brothers, defeating these Minotaur monsters was not a difficult task because they were also at the same level as them, level-10. They quickly killed eight Minotaurs and obtained their nails. These nails were proof that they had killed the Minotaurs. As the two of them continued to walk deeper into the forest, a deafening roar suddenly came from the forest. The roar shocked the younger brother, Xia He. He leaned against the tree trunk, but the petite Xia Xi didn¡¯t panic. He could tell that this was a beast¡¯s cry. ¡°This roar should be the sound of the Purple-Spotted Hyena. Be careful¡­¡± There were many wild beasts in the Forest of the Moon Falls, but there were also a small number of demonic beasts. The strength of the demonic beasts was above that of the wild beasts. And the Purple-Spotted Hyena that Xia Xi had mentioned was a type of demon beast. It was definitely not something rangers like them could handle! Sure enough, as Xia Xi suspected, a few figures ran out from the Forest of the Moon Falls. They were shouting loudly and their armor had been damaged. The leader of these few people was Ge Yangguang. At this moment, Ge Yangguang completely did not care how he looked to the others, as snot and tears flowed out. ¡°It¡¯s not good, there¡¯s a Purple-Spotted Hyena in front! But luckily, it¡¯s one that hasn¡¯t reached adulthood yet. Do you want to follow us to finish it off!? We have more people, we can definitely finish it off!¡± As Ge Yangguang looked at Xia Xi and Xia He, he thought to himself that having more people meant more strength. Before Xia Xi could reply, a small Purple-Spotted Hyena followed closely behind. The hyena had many wounds on its body. It was obvious that these people had fought with this Purple-Spotted Hyena before. Fortunately, it was just a young dog! But even though it was a young dog, it was still at the level of a demon beast. They were now just rangers preparing to advance to become warriors, so it was still not going to be easy to get rid of this young beast. Xia He might be tall and strong, but he had always been more timid than Xia Xi. ¡°Brother, this is a demonic beast. We can¡¯t defeat it. Why don¡¯t we leave this place quickly and look for the mentor¡¯s help?!¡± However, Xia Xi did not have this intention. He raised the wooden staff in his hand. ¡°This demon beast is already injured. Now that we have more people, we might be able to fight it out. Furthermore, if we finish off the demon beast this time, we will definitely be able to obtain the mentor¡¯s recognition. This way, we can enter the advanced class!¡± ¡°Vine Thorns!¡± Xia Xi used magic for combat. A ball of white light instantly appeared from Xia Xi¡¯s staff, and a thorn as thick as a hand pole emerged from the ground and wrapped around the Purple-Spotted Hyena. The hyena didn¡¯t dare to move, or the thorns would pierce its body. Even though this would not last long, it was enough for Ge Yangguang and the others to catch their breath. Before going up the mountain, Ge Yangguang¡¯s armor was still perfectly intact. Now, it was badly damaged and his neck and arms were covered in blood. The others were not much better. They had more wounds on their bodies. ¡°We¡¯ve lost too much blood. Hurry up and take the alchemy potion we bought before we go up the mountain. Then we can get rid of this Purple-Spotted Hyena!¡± As Ge Yangguang spoke, he found the cheap alchemy potions on his body and poured them into his mouth. The others also drank the potions with him. Although the alchemy potion could be said to be effective, the time it took for it to take effect was extremely slow. At least for the next ten minutes, he could not fight anymore. ¡°This is bad, the Purple-Spotted Hyena is about to struggle free! Xia He, quickly use a physical attack and find an opportunity to get rid of it!¡± Xia Xi used Confinement magic, so the damage was not high, but it could at least restrain the Purple-Spotted Hyena. Xia He held a long sword in his hand. This long sword looked very heavy, but its strength was still very strong. ¡°Boundless Mountain!¡± ¡°Ice Nova!¡± Therefore, the two brothers used a magic confinement and a physical attack to swing at the Purple-Spotted Hyena. As the ice and snow elements gathered energy in front of Xia Xi¡¯s wooden staff, Ge Yangguang, who had taken the alchemy potion and was waiting for his recovery, stared on with a stunned look . Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°You actually want to use Ice Nova?! With your current status as a ranger, it¡¯s impossible for you to use a warrior¡¯s skill!¡± Ice Nova was one of the warrior mage skills. To deal with the Purple-Spotted Hyena, using this skill was the best choice. However, with Xia He¡¯s current strength, he couldn¡¯t use it at all. If this cooldown failed, then Xia He would have no strength left. If the Purple-Spotted Hyena broke free then, none of them would be able to leave. ¡°D*mn! I didn¡¯t bring any alchemy potions to increase my strength this time! Otherwise, this Purple-Spotted Hyena would be ours!¡± Ge Yangguang felt extremely vexed. After all, he uses physical attacks. Naturally, these vital energy potions are usually with him to help him to recover his vitality from magic damage.v Besides, it wasn¡¯t a matter of whether he had the Vital energy or not. It was just that Xia Xi didn¡¯t have enough strength to use the next skill. However, under the restriction of Xia Xi¡¯s vines, the Purple-Spotted Hyena¡¯s movements were indeed much slower, and its movements were constantly restricted. However, it was not difficult for this kind of demonic beast to break free from this kind of imprisonment. As time ticked by, the Purple-Spotted Hyena suddenly raised its neck and let out a howl. Instantly, Xia Xi¡¯s vine bramble confinement spell was depleted! The Purple-Spotted Hyena regained its freedom and pounced on Xia He, placing its claws on his body. Although Xia He was a 1.9 meter tall man, his opponent was a demonic beast. Its size was twice that of a human, so after the claw struck down, Xia He was sent flying and smashed into the ground. ¡°Ahhh!¡± ¡°I knew it! You guys are really useless. We¡¯ve already exhausted the Purple-Spotted Hyena, but you guys still can¡¯t defeat it. You¡¯re really useless! Ge Yangguang saw Xia He being sent flying and jumped up in shock. The other four got ready to escape. He thought to himself, even if he got healed, he should be crippled after that strike by the Purple-Spotted Hyena. There¡¯s no way he could still have the ability to overcome this demon beast. At this moment, Xia Xi¡¯s body began to lose strength. He couldn¡¯t use any more strength. However, the cooldown for the Ice Nova was almost completely used up. If he did not have enough strength, not only would he not be able to use the skill, he would also be completely out of energy. ¡°I hope this really works!¡± At this moment, Xia He laid on the ground and took out the Immortal Pill. Ge Yangguang looked at the item that Xia He took out and found it familiar. Wasn¡¯t this the Immortal Pill that they saw at Zhang Feng¡¯s shop before they went up the mountain? After Xia He swallowed the Immortal Pill, the wound in his body instantly closed up and his blood level slowly recovered. He got up from the ground and picked up the longsword again, as if he had not been injured at all. If Ge Yangguang and the others had not witnessed the Purple-Spotted Hyena¡¯s claw slashing down, no one would believe that the lively Xia He was on his last breath. ¡°W-what¡¯s going on?¡± Ge Yangguang¡¯s mouth gaped open in disbelief. What had just happened? It was just a small Immortal Pill, yet it could actually bring someone back from the dead? At this moment, Xia Xi took out the Invigorate Immortal Pill and swallowed it. He instantly felt her entire body brimming with energy. It was at this moment that the Purple-Spotted Hyena felt that something was wrong. It wanted to get rid of Xia Xi and Xia He quickly, but it was still greatly damaged by Xia Xi¡¯s Ice Nova. Thus, the Purple-Spotted Hyena pounced on Xia Xi. At this moment, Xia He had already reacted. He tightly gripped the longsword in his hand and started fighting with the Purple-Spotted Hyena. Meanwhile, Xia Xi¡¯s ¡®Ice Nova¡¯ had already been successfully condensed. He raised his wooden staff high above his head and shouted, ¡°Ice Magic First Stance¡ªIce Nova!¡± In an instant, ice crystals formed all over the ground and shot towards the Purple-Spotted Hyena. This attack was extremely powerful. The Purple-Spotted Hyena became like a block of ice, completely frozen. Xia He seized this opportunity and used his huge longsword to shatter the Purple-Spotted Hyena, removing the beast essence from within its body. Ge Yangguang and the rest were stunned by Xia He¡¯s actions and forgot what they were here for. Then, Ge Yangguang immediately thought of Zhang Feng¡¯s ¡®black market shop¡¯! It was those two bottles of potions that allowed the two of them to recover their strength. Furthermore, the healing time was basically instantaneous! Ge Yangguang felt like such a clown. There was a good opportunity in front of him, but he had missed it. He regretted it so much that his intestines felt all twisted! It turned out that what Zhang Feng said back then was true. The alchemy potions that they brought paled in comparison to the Immortal Pills that Zhang Feng sold! If he had made up his mind to buy those Immortal Pills from Zhang Feng back then, the outcome would not be like how it was now. At this moment, the Xia brothers who had collected the beast essence of the Purple-Spotted Hyena, came before Ge Yangguang and the others. ¡°Thank you for giving us this opportunity just now, Young Master Ge. We¡¯ll take the beast essence. As for the Purple-Spotted Hyena¡¯s corpse, we¡¯ll leave it to you to deal with slowly. I believe it will be of some use.¡± When Xia Xi said this, he was actually mocking Ge Yangguang that when he was in danger, he would only cry and not think about how to deal with it. Now that the two brothers had dealt with the demonic beast, the credit naturally went to them. They had already obtained the beast essence, and the remaining corpse was just a pile of meat. It was useless even if they wanted it. ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s right. You said that we couldn¡¯t deal with this Purple-Spotted Hyena. Now you¡¯ve slapped yourself on the face. However, we are also very generous. You can keep this hyena¡¯s corpse as a memento.¡± Xia He also laughed and followed Xia Xi. Ge Yangguang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was someone who cared about his reputation a lot. Now that he was ridiculed by the two of them, he was furious. ¡°We have this demon beast¡¯s beast essence, so there¡¯s no need to fight the remaining two Minotaurs. Young Master Ge, we¡¯ll take our leave now.¡± Xia Xi pretended to be polite to Ge Yangguang and cupped his hands before leaving with Xia He. Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The Ge family and the Xia family were not on good terms to begin with. Furthermore, Ge Yangguang had provoked the Purple-Spotted Hyena. If he had not met Xia Xi and Xia He, his group would have died long ago. Therefore, the Purple-Spotted Hyena¡¯s beast essence should be given to Xia Xi and the rest. ¡°Damn it, why was I so stupid back then? If I had bought it, the beast essence would be mine now!¡± Ge Yangguang was so angry that he wanted to slap himself. However, Zhang Feng naturally did not know what was happening in the Forest of Moon Falls. Right now, he was looking apprehensively at the so-called ¡°Crimsonbull Nutrition Drinks¡± that the system rewarded him with in his store warehouse. Speaking of which, this thing was a golden bottle and it looked very high-end. That¡¯s right, when Zhang Feng transmigrated to this world, he had also drunk a similar beverage with the same name. However, he did not expect that there would be a pirated version in this world. Was this system produced by shady merchants? Even if that was the case, they should have gotten the logo right before giving it to him, right? Zhang Feng was about to faint. How could he sell such a counterfeit energy drink? Zhang Feng casually picked up a bottle of Crimsonbull and looked at its functions. ¡°After drinking this beverage, level will be permanently upgraded to a slightly higher level. However, the level of upgrade will definitely be based on current power. There are no restrictions on usage.¡± He did not know why he had to read it out loud. There was no one beside him, so why would he read it out loud? However, it could be seen that this Crimsonbull energy drink was a very rare item. Being able to raise one¡¯s level should be something that most people wanted, right? After all, in this world, everyone wanted to raise their level. This was great. At the very least, this item was still a top-grade item. It was unlike the Immortal Pills from before. The Immortal Pills were of the ordinary grade. There were different grades of goods in this world. The most basic ones were ordinary, followed by excellent, then rare, perfect, and finally mythical. This was Zhang Feng¡¯s greatest fortune that he had already won a rare item. ¡°Wow, I thought the system would only give me ordinary grade ones. Looks like my luck is about to begin.¡± Zhang Feng sighed. Although the system had already added some defensive systems to the items in the shop, the most important thing now was to increase his own strength. Otherwise, if someone really found trouble with him and broke the defense system, wouldn¡¯t he be as good as dead? The moment Zhang Feng thought of this, he decided to drink a bottle as well. He opened a bottle of Crimsonbull and poured it into his mouth. In terms of taste, the Crimsonbull was slightly different from the Red Bull in Zhang Feng¡¯s previous world. After all, it was a beverage that could raise one¡¯s level, so it tasted a little bitter. But no matter what, it was not bad. Most people did not drink it to quench their thirst, but to increase their strength. Zhang Feng clenched his fists as he tried to feel if there was any energy within his body. Very quickly, a very strange feeling appeared within his body as a surge of energy gushed out from his Elixir Center. Then, his stomach started to churn. Zhang Feng knew very well what this feeling was. He quickly found the rubbish bin and spat out a mouthful of black blood. The black impurities inside were the dirty impurities in Zhang Feng¡¯s body. Then, Zhang Feng seemed to see the numbers above his head¡ªLevel 1, Level 2¡­ It kept increasing. Zhang Feng¡¯s level numbers stopped increasing after a while. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Feng¡¯s level went from Level 1 to Level 15. This Crimsonbull Drink was really awesome. Zhang Feng felt as though his entire body was filled with it. Even if a bull appeared in front of him, he could kill it with a single punch. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this drink to be so powerful.¡± Zhang Feng sighed with emotion. Then, he jumped up. With one leap, he could jump to a height of one meter. After coming to this world, he knew that there were many Battle Nights here. However, there were also many types of battles. There were physical attacks and magic attacks. This was the difference between Mages and Warriors. However,other than Warriors and Mages, there were many different occupations. The ability that was flowing out of Zhang Feng¡¯s body now was a combination of combat and magic. Hence, Zhang Feng was dual-cultivating and they could even make up for each other¡¯s shortcomings. ¡°I¡¯ll only feel more at ease if I have my own strength.¡± Zhang Feng nodded to himself. The strength within his body gave him a sense of security. Compared to when he was still an ordinary person, Zhang Feng did not dare to do anything freely. But now, if he were to go out and cause trouble, it would still be fine. Of course, Zhang Feng wouldn¡¯t do such a reckless thing, because he was a reasonable person. Unless someone provoked him, then it would be a different story. Zhang Feng thought for a while and felt that he should be able to sell these Crimsonbulls. That way, he could get more money. Hence, he contacted the system in his mind. ¡°Is the system here? I have a question for you.¡± Every time Zhang Feng wanted to contact the system, he had to calm down and focus. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to summon the system. This time, the system came out rather quickly, probably because it was concerned about Zhang Feng¡¯s experience in this world. ¡°Is there anything you want to ask?¡± Zhang Feng: ¡°I want to know, what is the price of the Crimsonbull Energy Drink that I got from the lottery?¡± The system answered Zhang Feng¡¯s question, ¡°This kind of product belongs to the host¡¯s reward, so even if you sell it, the system won¡¯t take a cut. Hence, you can set any price you want. The system won¡¯t give you any opinions or demands, so don¡¯t worry.¡± The system probably knew that Zhang Feng disliked the way they split the profits. However, this was different. This was a reward for him. If it still wanted to split the profits, it might affect the shop owner¡¯s experience. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°That¡¯s great! I should have done this a long time ago. Don¡¯t you know how much money I only received after I sold the Immortal Pills? My heart aches so much!¡± Zhang Feng heard the system¡¯s words and immediately felt gratified. He looked at the bottle of Crimsonbull Energy Drink in his hand and felt as if he could see his future full of riches. Although he felt that it was a pity that he had drunk a bottle just now, he had still improved his ability, so he decided to let it go. ¡°I drank a bottle just now. So now, I have to raise the price of other products. Only then can I make up for the money lost.¡± Zhang Feng thought about it and made this decision. ¡°I¡¯ll set the price for this Crimsonbull Energy Drink at 100 Essence Stones per bottle! Furthermore, all the 100 Essence Stones will be mine¡­¡± Zhang Feng calculated. A single Essence Stone could allow him to live frugally for a month, but to eat and drink well, it would probably only last half a month. If he were to sell all the Crimsonbull Energy drinks, he would have a small sum of money on hand. At that time, he would not be afraid of anything. The drink could fully restore the strength of the drinker, no matter the level of the drinker. Just based on that, this price should be acceptable, right? Hence, Zhang Feng felt that 100 Essence Stones was not too much at all. After all, it was a rare item. Coupled with the item being a reward by the system, it did not exist in this world. Alright! It was decided then. ¡°System, enter the charging interface. I want to use all the steel pieces I have now to import this Crimsonbull Energy Drink!¡± Although there were only 20 steel pieces left in Zhang Feng¡¯s pocket now, it would definitely become more than a hundred times more if he sold a bottle of those energy drinks! The system immediately responded to Zhang Feng¡¯s words. ¡°Congratulations. The fee has been paid. You¡¯re welcome to come again next time!¡± It seemed like this system was very adept at its job. Zhang Feng did not even need to reach out to touch the steel pieces in his pocket to know that they must have disappeared. ¡°I want to draw 20 consecutive draws. By the way, did you give me a free chance to draw at the lottery?¡± Zhang Feng had played games before. The games usually gave one free chance for every 10 consecutive draws. He thought to himself, ¡°Does this system have such an offer too?¡± However, the system¡¯s answer made Zhang Feng speechless. ¡°No.¡± Alright, so be it. He should have known how stingy the system was. He pulled on the lottery stick and a prize appeared in front of him immediately. Healing Immortal Pills, Invigorate Immortal Pills, Continuous Energy Immortal Pills, Godspeed Immortal Pills, Agility Immortal Pills, Divine Immortal Pills¡­ Other than the Healing and Invigorate pills that appeared previously, Zhang Feng won a few Immortal Pills that he is seeing for the first time. Regarding this, these Immortal Pills also had some notes that told him what they were useful for. For example, the Continuous Energy Immortal Pill was equivalent to a continuous recovery of stamina. The effect of the pill lasted for an entire day, so this was considered an enhanced version of the blue medicine. There was also the Godspeed Immortal Pill. As the name suggested, it could increase one¡¯s running ability for five minutes. Regardless of whether it was fleeing or chasing, it had extremely good effects. As for the Agility Immortal Pill, it was similar to the Godspeed Immortal Pill. However, the difference was that the Godspeed Immortal Pill could only increase one¡¯s speed. After consuming the Agility Immortal Pill, one¡¯s agility would increase by leaps and bounds. The other party¡¯s movements would seem like half of your speed. Then, Divine Immortal Pills could increase the effect of magical attacks. Compared to Invigorate Immortal Pills, Divine Immortal Pills could only be used for magic. Invigorate could be used both in magic and in physical movements. After Zhang Feng finished reading the introduction of these unfamiliar immortal pills, he gained new knowledge. There was also the Continuous Energy Immortal Pill. It was not written on the note, but he thought that it could allow his Health Points to overflow as a protective shield, right? Zhang Feng was pleasantly surprised. To think that there would be so many miraculous pills appearing! Then, Zhang Feng summoned the system and asked, ¡°System, what¡¯s the use of this Continuous Energy Immortal Pill? Is it like what I think it is? Is it able to let your Health Points overflow as a protective shield?¡± Perhaps the system was rendered speechless by Zhang Feng¡¯s question. After a moment of silence, it finally replied, ¡°Host, your thoughts are really bold and imaginative, but I think I should explain it to you.¡± ¡°Continuous Energy Immortal Pills are different from ordinary Healing Immortal Pills. They can recover one¡¯s vitality. Let me give you an example. If you lose your arm, the Healing Immortal Pills can quickly coagulate the blood in your severed arm and heal certain injuries. However, the Continuous Energy Immortal Pills can completely reattach your arm.¡± ¡°Therefore, the grade of this Continuous Energy Immortal Pill is the most valuable one among all the pills that you¡¯ve just drawn. It¡¯s an Epic-ranked Immortal Pill!¡± Zhang Feng thought to himself, To think that it could have such a powerful function. If a person¡¯s head was chopped off and they consumed an immortal pill to reattach it, wouldn¡¯t that mean that even their head could be reattached?! However, Zhang Feng had forgotten that the system could ¡®see¡¯ what he was thinking as well, and it was rendered speechless by his thoughts. System: ¡°Host, your IQ is really useless. If your head was chopped off, even if you stuff an Immortal Pill into your mouth, it won¡¯t reach your stomach. After all, your head has already fallen off!¡± Zhang Feng scratched his head and laughed. ¡°Ahahaha, that¡¯s right. How could I not have thought of that? But to be able to recover from a broken arm and leg is already very powerful!¡± However, Zhang Feng understood one thing. Even though the system¡¯s lottery was based on the person, there were still times when the system would give you some surprises. For example, this Continuous Energy Immortal Pill could be sold for a good price. However, Zhang Feng had only obtained two bottles of the Continuous Energy Immortal Pill. With the addition of the few remaining bottles of immortal pills, there were now 27 items in Zhang Feng¡¯s shop. It looked a little better now. Zhang Feng listed the prices for these Immortal Pills. The Healing Immortal Pills, and Invigorate Immortal Pills were only of ordinary grade, so the price would be slightly cheaper. It only required 10 Essence Stones, but the Continuous Energy Immortal Pill could be sold for 100 Essence Stones. In any case, the items that he had obtained from the lottery were all his. The system would not take his share, Zhang Feng thought. Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the end, he took out the Crimsonbull Energy Drink and placed it on the counter. That way, the display looked full. When customers came in, Zhang Feng could also recommend this Crimsonbull Energy Drink. It was after all Zhang Feng¡¯s trump card. At this time, perhaps because someone had come to his shop before, it started to become a little more popular. Occasionally now, other customers would come to his shop. However, when they saw Zhang Feng¡¯s price, their expressions would darken and they would leave the shop while cursing. After all, there was a huge gap between the rich and the poor in this world. Most of them were poor. Their monthly income was only a few Essence Stones. They couldn¡¯t possibly use all their assets to buy Zhang Feng¡¯s things, right? Right now, the brothers Xia Xi and Xia He were the only customers who had bought something from Zhang Feng. With a dark expression on his face, and as he supported his chin with one hand, Zhang Feng complained to the system, ¡°System, do you think this price is really unreasonable?¡± That was because the price on it was the price that the system had suggested to Zhang Feng. Even though Zhang Feng did not want to accept the system¡¯s suggestion, the system insisted on him offering such a price. And the disadvantage of such a price was that no one wanted to buy it. As a result, Zhang Feng still hadn¡¯t earned a single cent up. Sometimes, Zhang Feng even wondered if the system was here to help him or to cheat him. The system was displeased with Zhang Feng¡¯s suggestion. ¡°I still suggest such a price. After all, it¡¯s worth it. If you lower the price, won¡¯t it disrupt the market¡¯s position? You just have to listen to my suggestion. The system won¡¯t cheat you. Zhang Feng rolled his eyes. Who knew if he was tricking him? Anyway, the system didn¡¯t need to eat. Zhang Feng was merely human, he was already famished from not eating for a day. However, he didn¡¯t have a single cent on him and couldn¡¯t eat anything. However, these items were indeed worth this price, so Zhang Feng really had nothing to say. But what was the use of just knowing about it himself? The customers didn¡¯t understand how effective these medicines were! ¡°Forget it, forget it!¡± Zhang Feng took out the bread from his box and ate it. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was already so late at night. There were probably no customers, so he prepared to close the door. Zhang Feng was a person with a bottom line. He would open and close the shop on time every day. Since he wanted to run a shop, he had to follow the rules. The business time was set at 9am to 10pm. Zhang Feng was still very hungry, but fortunately, he had already leveled up to Level 15. Even if he had to starve for two to three days, it would not be a problem. He climbed onto the bed and immediately fell asleep. When it was 8 am the next morning, Zhang Feng brushed his teeth and washed his face. He only had half a loaf of bread left from yesterday. After finishing it, he prepared to open the shop. If there was still no business today, Zhang Feng would probably have to starve tomorrow. Two minutes after he opened the shop, Zhang Feng was watering the plants outside with cheeks stuffed with stale bread when he suddenly heard a shout from behind him. ¡°What a coincidence, boss.¡± This voice should be directed at Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng turned around and saw the two brothers standing behind him. Although the tall man, Xia He, was very handsome, he was actually a fool. Although the petite Xia Xi looked arrogant, he was actually kind-hearted and smart. Perhaps this was the difference between an older brother and a younger brother. Zhang Feng also greeted the Xia brothers. After all, they were his first customers. ¡°Ah, so it¡¯s you two. You¡¯re quite early.¡± Xia He wanted to walk forward and take a look at the shop, but he felt an ability pushing him away. He touched the air around him and realized that there was magic protecting the shop. ¡°Shop owner, did your shop use a protective array? Why can¡¯t we enter?¡± Xia He asked Zhang Feng. Initially, Xia He and Xia Xi had wanted to enter the shop directly. However, they failed even after trying several times. This magic array was quite powerful. Xia Xi was also a Mage, so he knew that no matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to enter. ¡°Hmm, I think so.¡± Zhang Feng recalled what the system had said. It was probably because of this magic shield that the two brothers could not enter the shop. This was also the system¡¯s protection system to ensure Zhang Feng¡¯s safety as well as the protection of the shop¡¯s assets. As long as Zhang Feng was resting or when he wasn¡¯t in the shop, no matter how powerful a person was, it was impossible for them to break through. Of course, those who were above the Kingpin level could try to challenge the system. Those below the Kingpin level don¡¯t even need to try. ¡°Ah, so that¡¯s how it is. Brother, didn¡¯t I tell you? This shop owner is not a simple person. Look at this magic shield. Even you can¡¯t do anything about it!¡± Xia He seemed to be very smug, but he received a slap from Xia Xi on the back of his head. Xia He did not dare to speak anymore. Xia Xi put on a more gentle expression and said to Zhang Feng, ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve already used your Immortal Pills. As expected, your recommendations are correct. Your Immortal Pills are very useful.¡± Hearing that Xia Xi had such a high appraisal of his own items, his heart was naturally blooming with joy. However, he had given himself the image of a cold and handsome man, so he still acted very indifferently. ¡°Well, thank you for your evaluation. Our things here are all authentic. Of course, we won¡¯t cheat consumers.¡± He thought about how this big guy Xia He had gotten upset and scolded him yesterday. But now, he should have realized that his things were indeed useful. Xia Xi could tell that Zhang Feng was concerned, so he pushed his younger brother away. ¡°Yesterday, my younger brother said something unpleasant to you. I hope the owner doesn¡¯t mind.¡± Zhang Feng waved his hand to prevent others from thinking that he was a petty person. ¡°It¡¯s fine. After all, many people also said that my price is a little high.¡± Xia Xi revealed a rare smile. When he smiled, it was as warm as the morning sun, gentle and not overly blinding. Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°That¡¯s why we¡¯re here today to visit your shop again. We want to buy everything in your shop. Is that okay?¡± In Xia Xi¡¯s opinion, the output of these useful Immortal Pills was definitely not high. He thought that if he wanted to use them in the future, he would have to wait for a period of time. Furthermore, he had already entered the training ground and would probably have to use them frequently in the future. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t have been so little Immortal Pills left when they had come to Zhang Feng¡¯s shop back then. It wasn¡¯t like ordinary shops that were filled with things that couldn¡¯t be used. ¡°You¡¯re not joking with me, are you?¡± Zhang Feng had already bought a lot of goods, but the other party wanted to buy all of them? How rich were they? However, looking at the serious Xia Xi, he knew that he was not joking. ¡°That¡¯s for sure. Do you think we¡¯ll lie to you? Really, do you know who our Xia Family is?!¡± Xia He could tell that Zhang Feng was doubting them. How could they not afford these few bottles of Immortal Pills? However, Zhang Feng ignored Xia He because the one who could make the decision was his brother, Xia Xi. Hence, he stared at Xia Xi. If it wasn¡¯t for Xia Xi¡¯s short hair, Zhang Feng would have thought that he was a girl¡­ Which boy would be so delicate? ¡°It¡¯s true. What items do you have here? We¡¯ll take a look and buy them from you. Even though we¡¯re not short of money, they still need to be ones that we need.¡± Xia Xi spoke up. Zhang Feng thought to himself. Since they were here to do business, why did he have to say so much? Hence, he let the two brothers in. ¡°Alright, then come and see what you need.¡± Because of Zhang Feng¡¯s words, the defense system protecting the shop was removed as well. His brother followed him into the shop and walked towards the display case. Xia He realized that there were a lot more things in the shop than yesterday. He was stunned. ¡°Wow, shop owner, there are so many things now in your shop. Are they all good treasures?¡± Ever since he used Zhang Feng¡¯s Immortal Pill, Xia He had never doubted Zhang Feng. If it wasn¡¯t for Zhang Feng¡¯s Immortal Pill, he and his brother would have been eaten by the Purple-Spotted Hyena in the Forest of the Moon Falls. Even if Xia He was a member of the Xia Family, it was impossible for him to carry so many Essence Stones with him. The 30 Essence Stones on him were already his monthly living expenses. As he counted the items on Zhang Feng¡¯s display case now, he realized that if he were to buy all of them, he would need at least a few hundred Essence Stones. Just now, he had boasted that he would buy all of them. It was really embarrassing. ¡°There seem to be a few new types of Immortal Pills. I wonder if the shop owner can explain to us what their effects are?¡± Xia Xi was relatively calm because he had just said that he would only buy those that were useful to him so there was no conflict. Zhang Feng walked over to the cupboard and briefly introduced the functions of the Immortal Pills to them. They were both cultivators, so it was easy for them to understand. Xia Xi nodded. Although the effects of the alchemy potions outside were not bad, they were still worlds apart from these Immortal Pills. After listening to Zhang Feng¡¯s words, Xia Xi¡¯s eyes sparkled, adding some spirituality to his delicate appearance. Especially after Xia Xi heard Zhang Feng mention the function of the Charging Immortal Pill. Even if one¡¯s limbs were broken, they would be able to recover to their original state. Wouldn¡¯t that be as good as having another life-saving skill? This was similar to a skill that could be used by the Priests among the Mages. However, they could only use this skill when they reached the Kingpin level! From this alone, one could tell that Zhang Feng¡¯s Immortal Pills were really amazing. However, there were only two bottles of them. It was obvious how scarce these Immortal Pills were! If it was in the past, Xia Xi would definitely think that Zhang Feng was exaggerating. However, he had just used Zhang Feng¡¯s Immortal Pill successfully yesterday, so he wouldn¡¯t doubt his words. The Charging Immortal Pill was however just too expensive. Hence, Xia Xi wanted to bargain with Zhang Feng. ¡°Shop owner, this Immortal Pill is good, but the price is a little¡­¡± ¡°A hundred Essence Stones. We won¡¯t accept a bargain.¡± Zhang Feng knew what Xia Xi wanted to say, so he answered first. This thing was so good. If he was in danger, he could even use it to save his life. If he allowed others to bargain and sold it at a low price now, in future everyone would bargain as well, lowering the market price. At this moment, Zhang Feng realized that the system¡¯s words made sense. Hence, his tone was very unyielding. He was determined not to give the other party a chance to lower the price. Xia Xi frowned. He looked pitiful as he said to Zhang Feng, ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve done business with you before. Can¡¯t you make an exception?¡± If anything were to happen in the future, he might have to rely on the Charging Immortal Pill to protect his life. Actually, Xia Xi was not thinking simply of himself. He also had an elder brother who was out fighting all year round. Hence, Xia Xi was very worried about his elder brother. If he prepared one for his elder brother, they would be more at ease. ¡°Oh? Did you forget what you said outside when you said that? You said that your Xia family is rich and can buy everything in my shop.¡± Zhang Feng placed his hands behind his head as if he was reminding them of what they had just said. Alright, he did say something like that just now. In that case, Xia Xi really had nothing to say. It was rare for him to put on such a pitiful look and bargain prices, but Zhang Feng still stood his ground and refused to budge. Xia Xi was so angry that he felt like he wanted to freeze Zhang Feng with Ice Nova and throw him into the sea. However, after thinking about it, the Immortal Pills in Zhang Feng¡¯s shop were indeed quite effective. There was no other shop like this in the entire Zhiyue City. If he really offended Zhang Feng, how was he going to find a shop like this in the future? After thinking about it, Xia Xi said to his younger brother, ¡°Xia He, take out the beast essence we got.¡± Xia He seemed to know his brother¡¯s plan and immediately clutched the beast essence in his arms tightly. Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°But Big Brother, we risked our lives to get this item! Furthermore, we still have to hand this item over to our mentor so that we can advance smoothly!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? If you can¡¯t bear to part with your child, you won¡¯t be able to catch the wolf. Furthermore, as long as we have these Immortal Pills, we can still advance. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll continue to complete the training with you.¡± Xia Xi was very smart. He had used the Invigorate Immortal Pill and the Healing Immortal Pill to obtain the Beast Essence. With so many Immortal Pills, there was no worry that they would not be able to complete the mission. Seeing that Xia He didn¡¯t seem willing to hand over the beast essence, Xia Xi glared fiercely at Xia He again. Other than his eldest brother, Xia Xi was the one who doted on him the most. Furthermore, he usually spent the most time with Xia Xi, so he listened to him the most. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do whatever you say.¡± As he spoke, he took out the beast essence from his pocket. Xia Xi turned around and said to Zhang Feng, ¡°Shop owner, this is the beast essence that we got from hunting the Purple-Spotted Hyena in Forest of the Moon Falls. I wonder how many essence stones you can exchange it for?¡± As he spoke, he passed the beast essence over to Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng did not know what this beast essence was and whether it was worth the money. Hence, he could only look at the beast essence on Xia Xi¡¯s palm and use his mind to find the system. Zhang Feng said, ¡°System, do you know if this Beast Essence will be of any help to us?¡± He had just arrived in this world for a short period of time. Although he knew that there were wild beasts and demonic beasts in this world, he did not dare to accept anything. If anything went wrong, Zhang Feng would make a loss. The system scanned the Beast Essence in Xia Xi¡¯s hand and a small circle of light appeared. ¡°Analysing item. Please wait.¡± After a few seconds, the scan results were out. The system replied to Zhang Feng, ¡°This type of beast essence meets the advanced exchange condition. Host, please don¡¯t worry and purchase it at ease.¡± However, in the next second, the system made a note. ¡°Due to the low level of the shop, there will be a certain amount of loss during the currency conversion. Please understand.¡± Zhang Feng nodded his head and rubbed the newly grown stubble on his chin. He continued to use his mind to ask the system, ¡°System, give me a suggestion for the price.¡± The system also answered Zhang Feng without any hesitation, ¡°I suggest the price to be 100 Essence Stones!¡± Unexpectedly, this Beast Essence was actually for advanced exchanges. He did not expect the system to give him this information. It meant that other than steel pieces and Essence Stones, there would be more currency to purchase with and sell even more top-grade items in the future! Perhaps it was because Zhang Feng was caught in the system¡¯s words, he was stunned for a moment. Hence, Xia Xi shouted, ¡°Boss?¡± Zhang Feng snapped back to his senses and said, ¡°We can purchase this item. The price is 100 Esence Stones. What do you think?¡± Because he wanted others to think that he was not a conscienceless businessman, he answered calmly. After hearing Zhang Feng¡¯s price, Xia He¡¯s face darkened once again. He raised her fist again and said, ¡°You conscienceless merchant, this is the beast essence of a demon beast! If we sell it to someone else, it will cost at least 150 Essence Stones. You want to buy it for 100 Essence Stones?!¡± After all, beast essence was not something that could be obtained easily. Beast essence could only be obtained from beasts that are at least at the level of Demonic Beasts and above. Small wild beasts did not have beast essence, and beast essence had many uses. Whether it was forging weapons or forging armors, they could all be used. Even if they were used for alchemy and medicine testing, they would be extremely valuable. Even the beast essence of the lowest grade demon beast was extremely precious. Of course, the higher the grade of the Beast Essence, the more valuable it was. However, their Beast Essence was definitely worth more than 100 Essence Stones. Zhang Feng shrugged his shoulders. ¡°Oh, then there¡¯s no other way. Our deal is not successful then.¡± At this moment, Xia Xi spoke first, ¡°Sure, then let¡¯s use 100 Essence Stones to trade!¡± After saying that, Xia Xi handed the beast essence to Zhang Feng. Even though he was very unconvinced and his eyes were burning with anger, Xia Xi really needed Essence Stones now. ¡°But big brother¡­ isn¡¯t this too much of a disadvantage to us?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk too much. Just listen to me and don¡¯t say anything!¡± Xia Xi¡¯s tone was very unpleasant. Perhaps he felt that Zhang Feng had tricked them. Xia He might be tall and strong, but his temper was like that of a child. After being reprimanded by Xia Xi, he puffed up his cheeks. He seemed to be very unconvinced, but there was nothing he could do. ¡°So, we can now buy a lot of things with 100 Essence Stones. We still have 30 essence stones on us, so that¡¯s 130 essence stones.¡± As he said that, Xia Xi passed all the essence stones on him to Zhang Feng. ¡°We want this Continuous Energy Immortal Pill, the Invigorate Immortal Pill, and the Healing Immortal Pill.¡± Xia Xi took the Immortal Pills from the display cabinet and placed it in his pocket. As for things like Godspeed Immortal Pills, he was a Mage and Xia He was a Warrior, so he didn¡¯t seem to have much interest in them. There was also the Divine Immortal Pill. In fact, many Mages had skills that could increase their effects. Hence, Xia Xi did not consider it. ¡°Mmm, thank you very much for your patronage. You are welcome to come again next time.¡± Zhang Feng also smiled and placed the beast essence and 30 other Essence Stones on his counter. Seeing how Zhang Feng was grinning like that, Xia He felt even more that they had been tricked by him. Hence, he wanted to say something but Xia Xi pulled on the corner of his shirt. He could only turn his head in frustration and snort coldly. Right at this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Zhang Feng¡¯s mind again. ¡°Congratulations, host¡­¡± Upon hearing the system¡¯s words, Zhang Feng knew that he must have gotten another reward. As expected, the system continued, ¡°Side quest completed: Trade with returning customers. Completion rate: 1 / 1.¡± ¡°What about the reward?¡± Actually, what Zhang Feng was most concerned about was the reward given by the system. System: ¡°There will definitely be rewards. After completing this side quest, the shop system will upgrade.¡± Upon hearing that, Zhang Feng realized that this was great. Initially, his shop was still in tatters. It was all thanks to his two brothers from the Xia family that he was able to complete a main mission and a side mission. It seemed like these two brothers were really his lucky stars. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Zhang Feng was feeling happy. But as he lowered his head to look at his cash register while whistling, he realized that he only had 130 steel coins left. Zhang Feng¡¯s mood immediately turned sour. At this moment, someone rushed in and shouted, ¡°Boss, I want to buy something!¡± The person who came in was a man. He brought four people and rushed in. Zhang Feng straightened his back and looked at the group of people who came in expressionlessly. Heh, weren¡¯t these people the ones who came here to say that the things here were too expensive and then called him a gangster? Ge Yangguang and the others had just come out from the Forest of the Moon Falls. When they thought of the Immortal Pills that the Xia Family brothers had used, they were green with envy. Therefore, he now wanted to also buy a few bottles of Immortal Pills to prepare for emergencies. ¡°Oh, I was wondering who it was. So it¡¯s you.¡± Zhang Feng looked at the few people in front of him and said lightly. He had a deep impression of these people. After all, they were the first people to enter his shop ever since he opened the shop. Even though he did not buy anything in the end and even said that he had a scam shop, so Zhang Feng did not have a good impression of him. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me. The shop owner still remembers me, but I must say that your Immortal Pills is really a good treasure!¡± Ge Yangguang no longer had the same attitude as before. Instead, he smiled obsequiously. Indeed, Ge Yangguang was a rich young master, but Zhiyue City was only a small border city of this country. No matter how large their family was, they were still very far away. ¡°Of course. How can my things be bad?¡± Zhang Feng also smiled and nodded. Ge Yangguang began to wring his hands and said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, shop owner, can you¡­¡± He wanted to bargain, because he didn¡¯t have that many Essence Stones on him. Moreover, after he left the family, he had spent indiscriminately. Now, he only had enough to eat and drink for a month. ¡°Ah, you want to buy Immortal Pills, right? I have plenty of them here. However, I have an unwritten rule here. No bargaining is allowed.¡± Zhang Feng¡¯s words directly rebutted Ge Yangguang¡¯s next words. ¡°But, shop owner, I¡¯m going to buy a lot of things this time. I¡¯m going to buy all your Immortal Pills at one go. Can¡¯t you give me even just a little discount?¡± Ge Yangguang wanted to tell Zhang Feng that he was an invisible big client, but Zhang Feng would not agree to it without seeing the money. ¡°No, you can¡¯t. You get what you pay for. Even if you buy more things, you have to go according to the price on the shelf.¡± Zhang Feng said unhurriedly. Then, he took another deep look at Ge Yangguang and said thoughtfully, ¡°Actually, since you know that this is a black market shop. My heart is also black, so you can forget about getting anything from me.¡± Ge Yangguang opened his mouth immediately, but he didn¡¯t know what to say. After all, the one who said Zhang Feng¡¯s shop was a scam was him, so he couldn¡¯t refute him. Recalling what he had said a few days ago, Ge Yangguang really wanted to give himself a slap. How could he have spoken so carelessly? ¡°Cough, cough, cough. That time was that time. Also, before I witnessed the power of your Immortal Pills, your items were indeed very expensive. It¡¯s only reasonable to say that you¡¯re a black market shop.¡± Ge Yangguang kept rubbing his hands together, wanting Zhang Feng to forgive him. ¡°Shop owner, you don¡¯t have to be so calculative. We¡¯ve been doing business for a while, but we¡¯ve become familiar with each other. You¡¯ll know what kind of person I am very soon.¡± Zhang Feng glanced at him and said, ¡°Of course I won¡¯t take it to heart. If I did, you wouldn¡¯t even be able to enter my shop.¡± Seeing how unmoving Zhang Feng was, Ge Yangguang was furious but helpless. ¡°You¡­ me!¡± ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go with the original price then.¡± Although Ge Yangguang came from a wealthy family, he was not a heedless person. He was also very reasonable. Besides, Zhang Feng was a businessman. His prices are set, if you couldn¡¯t afford it, you could just leave. However, Ge Yangguang really wanted to buy from Zhang Feng. Ge Yangguang came to the display window and saw a lot of good stuff. He turned around and asked Zhang Feng, ¡°Shop owner, you¡¯ve brought in quite a lot of goods. What are the uses of these items?¡± However, when he saw the price on it, he was instantly dumbfounded. ¡°It can¡¯t be? It actually costs 100 Essence Stones? What are these things?!¡± Since he seemed to be serious about buying, Zhang Feng patiently explained the effects of the Immortal Pills. Soon, Ge Yangguang and the others picked out what they wanted. These were all useful for their future training. ¡°Thank you for your patronage.That will be 190 Essence Stones.¡± Zhang Feng stretched out his hand, wanting to collect the money from them. When Ge Yangguang took out his money bag, he said to the people behind him, ¡°Did you hear that? 190 Essence Stones! Hurry up and take them out!¡± Zhang Feng¡¯s items were really too expensive, Ge Yangguang did not have so many Essence Stones for him. The group of companions that followed him were all heirs of their families. Their families were all rich. Although they did not have that many Essence Stones with them individually, after combining, they got enough to give 190 Essence Stones to Zhang Feng. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s really a pity. It¡¯s impossible for Luo Ke to come out from the Forest of Finger Moon Falls again. It¡¯s really a pity.¡± Ge Yangguang held the Immortal Pills that he had just bought from Zhang Feng and thought of his little friend in the Forest at the Moon Falls. For a moment, he felt sad. This was what it meant to be a cultivator. This was an extremely cruel form of training. If one wanted to level up, they could only seek it out amidst danger. Thinking back to that day when they found the Purple-Spotted Hyena in Forest of the Moon Falls, it was also an unexpected situation. ¡°But don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange? Purple-spotted hyenas are demon beasts. We had only entered the periphery of the Moon Falls Forest, yet we can still see demon beasts. There usually aren¡¯t many of these type of demon beasts, and if there are, they only appear in the deepest parts.¡± At the thought of this, Ge Yangguang felt a little apprehensive. He took another look at the Immortal Pills in his hand and thought that he should continue to complete their training. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue to the Forest of the Moon Falls again. Our training hasn¡¯t been completed yet!¡± They came down just to buy the Immortal Pills they wanted. Since they had the immortal pills now, they should continue their training and hurry to the training ground. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The few of them mustered up their courage and followed Ge Yangguang towards the Forest of the Moon Falls. ¡­ After Ge Yangguang and the others left, it was actually Zhang Feng¡¯s last business deal of the day. After that, no one came anymore. After the sky turned dark, Zhang Feng was about to close the shop when the system finally made a sound. The system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. ¡°Congratulations, shop owner. The system has upgraded your level! The share has increased to 10%!¡± Although it was good news being announced, the System¡¯s voice was still emotionless. ¡°Additionally, the Room of Trials will be opened. Also, cargo channel management simplification lucky draw ticket*1¡± Zhang Feng heard the words, but he did not understand what it meant. ¡°What¡¯s a Room of Trials?¡± From what he understand from the name, it means he could become stronger by passing trials. But, what the system gave him might not be that simple. However, Zhang Feng was just overthinking it. In fact, that was the truth! The system answered Zhang Feng, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s a space that will be opened for you to train in. You can obtain a mark after winning the battle inside.¡± After saying this, the system added, ¡°However, the host¡¯s level is still too low, so the training room that is open to the host is only level one. But you can still obtain the mark.¡± Zhang Feng¡¯s eyes widened. He did not expect that just by activating the shop owner¡¯s system, he could even upgrade himself by killing monsters. Wasn¡¯t this system¡¯s range too wide? As mentioned before, after coming to this world, every level had to undergo competition training. Only if he succeeded would he be able to get his mark to upgrade. Otherwise, he would only be stuck at this stage. However, it didn¡¯t mean that you could undergo training trials unconditionally or casually do so. You had to enter a specific space and also hunt the corresponding Distortion Beasts. Only by obtaining the heat signature attached to them could it be considered as completed. However, regardless of whether you completed the trial or not, as long as you came out of the space, the space from before would collapse, and even your heat signature would disappear. As mentioned earlier, the Distortion Beast in the space was a specific demon produced in the space. It was different from the wild beasts and demon beasts in the Forest of the Moon Falls. Only this kind of Distortion Beast would have a specific crystal. There were different types of crystals: skill crystals and alchemy crystals. Alchemy crystals were used on alchemy potions and could only be created by using special methods. The other type was Skill Crystals. They were relatively rare items that could be embedded into one¡¯s own weapon to increase one¡¯s attack power. They could also be converted into skills. This kind of skill was naturally as simple as the move you used to swing your blade. This kind of skill was enhanced by the world, so its power was extraordinary. Therefore, to put it even more simply, if the effect produced by a skill or spell was the same, and if it came down to the skill versus the magic for damage caused, then the skill would definitely suppress the damage done by magic. It was a completely Ling Family magical attack with physical damage. Thus, this was why those who didn¡¯t obtain a mark couldn¡¯t defeat those with a mark. This was because the addition of a mark meant that he had an additional technique. However, this time, the additional function the system had given him for leveling up was actually a trial training space. If the people of this world wanted to undergo training, they would have to go to the Room of Trials. And now Zhang Feng was indeed able to enter the same space. Even though he was only able to enter the lowest level of the mortal body training space, he is still considered much stronger than the people outside, right? At the thought of this, Zhang Feng started asking, ¡°Oh right, System, I still want to confirm something. What are the conditions for using the Room of Trials?¡± Zhang Feng was relatively calm because since the system had already taken so much of the commission, he didn¡¯t expect such a petty system to give him any benefits. The system replied, ¡°Host, don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking! I¡¯m the high and mighty system. Your thoughts can¡¯t escape my surveillance at all. You don¡¯t have to use your petty heart to judge a gentleman, okay?¡± Zhang Feng sweated. He had forgotten that the system could read minds. He coughed coldly. The System said again, ¡°There are no other conditions. We just have to hand over the Essence Stones.¡± This is easy because the crystals on the Distortion Beast are very expensive. Now he still has a little bit of Essence Stone on him, so it doesn¡¯t matter. The system then asked Zhang Feng, ¡°So are you going to start drawing new goods now?¡± That¡¯s right. After the system upgraded, there would be a new product opportunity. Zhang Feng had forgotten about this. ¡°Of course.¡± Then, a lucky draw ticket appeared in front of Zhang Feng. This lucky draw ticket was the one from the previous time. Hence, Zhang Feng was already very familiar with it. Zhang Feng pushed the lucky draw stick and stared at the screen. However, this time, the lucky draw took a long time to turn. Zhang Feng was a little confused. There were intermediate-grade weapons, ordinary equipment, ordinary Immortal Pills, and even some pets and spirit beasts. However, Zhang Feng could tell that the supply channel this time was much better than last time. After the prize slowed down, it finally landed on the screen. The system¡¯s voice added, ¡°Congratulations, host. You have opened the weapon delivery channel. However, due to the level of the host, we will still choose to open the ordinary level for you this time. There will also be an excellent weapon delivery channel.¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s not Immortal Pills this time. It¡¯s actually weapons this time.¡± Actually, it was not too bad. After all, in this world, everyone had to participate in fights. However, most of them had weapons. Unless someone else¡¯s weapon was damaged, then they would come here to buy new ones. Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Zhang Feng could only console himself. ¡°It¡¯s inevitable for weapons to be damaged when fighting monsters to level up. As long as it¡¯s in stock, it can definitely be sold.¡± However, he had overlooked a problem. A good weapon could greatly increase a person¡¯s combat power. Moreover, many people in the city had not bought any weapons yet. However, since the system had decided to help him open the shop, the things that came out of the system were definitely not something that could be obtained easily. Zhang Feng said to the system, ¡°Activate the Weapon Pool!¡± After a while, two carbon-like objects appeared. One of them was an ordinary-grade weapon pool, and the other was an excellent-grade one, which was just a little better than the ordinary-grade. The rules of the lottery draw for weapons was the same as the Immortal Pills draw from last time. On the excellent-grade draw, a better weapon could be drawn every time compared to the ordinary-grade draw. However, the excellent-grade weapon pool was more expensive and required 50 steel coins for each draw. What the heck! This kind of premium item is actually tens of times higher than the normal price. Why is this happening?! Zhang Feng couldn¡¯t help but ask the system. However, the system was the same as always, ¡°It¡¯s worth it. Of course, it has to be a little more expensive. Besides, the prices you sell them for are also expensive. So there¡¯s nothing wrong with that.¡± Alright, if he thought about it carefully, the words made some sense. Zhang Feng could only accept it. He opened the interface of his shop to check his situation. Host¡¯s name: Zhang Feng Shopkeeper Level & Experience: 30% of Level 2 Number of Shops : One Sightly Ordinary Shop. Storage channel/ability: Immortal Pill Pool+Weapon Pool lAdditional condition: Room of Trials, the lowest level. System¡¯s evaluation of the host: For now, no evaluation is given, but it¡¯s still much better for the past few days. I hope the host can continue to work hard and make the system like you. When Zhang Feng heard the system¡¯s evaluation of him, he really had no way to refute it. After all, he had nothing and was completely poor when he had just transmigrated here. However, it was not a wise choice to be angry with the system at this moment. Hence, Zhang Feng endured it and decided to take a look at the so-called trial space. After the system opened the training space for him, Zhang Feng could see an inscription appearing on the right wall of his shop. This inscription would allow him to enter the training space after touching it. However, Zhang Feng¡¯s current level was only at level 15, so he had yet to reach the warrior level. Thus, he could only take a look at his current level. At this moment, there were only about a hundred over steel pieces left in Zhang Feng¡¯s pocket. ¡°System, I want to use 120 steel pieces.¡± Zhang Feng decided to leave behind 50 steel pieces for himself. He thought these 50 pieces should be more than enough to feed him for an entire month. After the system heard Zhang Feng¡¯s words, it collected all the steel pieces from Zhang Feng and left only 50 pieces for him. ¡°Now the host can draw two excellent weapons. Good luck to the host.¡± From the tone of the system, Zhang Feng really could not tell if the system was really wishing good luck to him. Zhang Feng knew that if he wanted to win the big prize, he had to pretend that he didn¡¯t care. So, he hummed a tune and quickly pressed the button for the excellent weapon pool. This was after all 50 steel pieces! If he didn¡¯t manage to get anything good, Zhang Feng would definitely be heartbroken! So many steel pieces for just one draw, he really didn¡¯t want to be disappointed. Thus, Zhang Feng drew the Fireball Staff and the Army-Winning Peak Sword. These two weapons were rather ordinary. It seemed like Zhang Feng¡¯s luck cannot always be that good. ¡°I really don¡¯t understand. Are these pieces of equipment useful or not?¡± Zhang Feng looked at the attributes of these pieces of equipment rather angrily, but he just couldn¡¯t understand what they were useful for. Indeed, Zhang Feng knew too little about this world. ¡°System, do you know how much these equipment can be sold for?¡± Zhang Feng asked the system in his mind. The system would always tell him the suggested price whenever he asked directly. As expected, the system answered Zhang Feng, ¡°These weapons only require 200 Essence Stones each.¡± ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s really worth what I paid for them then. If that¡¯s the case, I can still earn some. Of course, the premise is to be able to sell them first.¡± Zhang Feng thought that he would be able to earn about 70 steel pieces or so. In the end, there was also Zhang Feng¡¯s 10 ordinary weapons lucky draw, and those were indeed some very ordinary weapons. These weapons were suitable for newbies. As expected, the cheap ones were not good. However, at the end, a yellow-coded equipment appeared. It was called Horse-Leveling Saber. Horse-Leveling Saber: A certain probability to increase the fire attribute and increase the defense of the wielder by 10%. At the same time, it can break through the opponent¡¯s defense. ¡°So many attributes, that¡¯s really impressive!¡± Zhang Feng understood all of these effects. Not only could it increase one¡¯s attack power, it could also increase one¡¯s defense. Overall, this was a top-grade weapon in the ordinary weapon pool! In a situation of facing opponents of the same level, if they had such equipment, they would definitely be much stronger than those of the same level. Zhang Feng casually picked up the Horse-Leveling Saber and compared it with the other equipment. It was indeed much better. Then, he looked at the price tags on the shelf. An ordinary grade weapon was the same cost as an ordinary grade Immortal Pill, only ten Essence Stones. Could it be that there was such a huge difference in excellent grade weapons compared to excellent grade Immortal Pills? An excellent grade Immortal Pill only required 100 Essence Stones, but a weapon required 200 Essence Stones. There was also the bed provided by the system for him to sleep on. It seemed like Zhang Feng could increase his strength quite a bit by sleeping on it. Although he had only gone to bed very late yesterday, when he woke up today, he had a lot more steel pieces in his pocket for no reason. Hence, he went to eat a good meal. When he returned after breakfast, he saw the two Xia brothers appear in front of his shop again. ¡°We are here again today, Boss!¡± Xia Xi said to Zhang Feng with a smile. However, his smile seemed a little sinister, Zhang Feng did not know how he had offended him. Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Hmm, are you guys here to buy goods? Go in and take a look.¡± The two brothers of the Xia family followed Zhang Feng into the shop. Xia Xi said, ¡°We were just taking a casual look. Speaking of which, Boss, how many more things do you have here?¡± ¡°For the Immortal Pills, they are still the same as yesterday. But I brought in some new weapons that are pretty good. You guys can take a look.¡± As long as the other party was willing to pay, Zhang Feng wanted to brag about his equipment. Even though these equipment and weapons were mostly ordinary grade and there were only two excellent grade equipment. ¡°Why did you bring in weapons? No matter how good your weapon is, can you be better than a master blacksmith?¡± Xia He just enjoyed questioning others. There weren¡¯t many Immortal Pills in this world, but many people still sold weapons. Apart from the magic stone staff, there were also spells and elven balls, which were all used by Mages. As for the other weapons, the other shops had everything they needed. They were not worried about not having any equipment to use. Right now, the sword in Xia He¡¯s hand was very suitable for warriors to use, and Xia He also used it very well. ¡°Boss, the Immortal Pills you sell are still acceptable, but the equipment here¡­¡± As Xia He spoke, he pulled out his sword and showed it to Zhang Feng.¡± Look at my weapon. Isn¡¯t it much better than yours? ¡± I specially found a master to forge this for me. Moreover, the quality is top-notch. It was also Zhang Feng¡¯s first time seeing the weapons in this world, so he took a few more looks at the weapon in Xia He¡¯s hands. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s not bad, boss?¡± Xia He saw Zhang Feng staring at his weapon and felt very proud. However, Zhang Feng carefully compared the equipment provided by the system before saying slowly, ¡°Actually, your equipment doesn¡¯t look that impressive.¡± He had thought that the equipment in this world was all very good, but he did not expect it to be so mediocre. It was not even as good as those in the system. Not that he wanted to brag, but Zhang Feng really felt like bragging now. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense! Do you know how much I spent on this sword? You have to be careful with what you say.¡± Xia He did not expect Zhang Feng to say that his weapon was ordinary. It was really annoying! Even though Xia Xi had been observing the items on the display cabinet in Zhang Feng¡¯s shop from the moment he entered, he couldn¡¯t tell how amazing these items could be. Hence, after the shout by Xia He, Xia Xi looked at Zhang Feng and said, ¡°Shop owner, you should know that these types of swords are easier to forge. However, the equipment of these mages is very difficult.¡± ¡°In particular, it requires embedding and instilling energy. It¡¯s not something that ordinary people can do.¡± After Xia Xi said this, the system suddenly sent a prompt that enlightened everyone. ¡°A side quest has been triggered. Host is required to prove how awesome your product is!¡± The system: ¡°I will not allow anyone to question our products, so you must let this customer know how excellent the equipment produced by our system is!¡± System: ¡°Mission failed!¡± However, Zhang Feng had yet to even start introducing his products to Xia He and Xia Xi. It was as if the system had let its emotions affect its decisions and directly determined that the mission had failed. System: ¡°Because of the host¡¯s side mission, the host can now only draw 1% of the system¡¯s profit.¡± Alright, now that he had returned to the past, it felt like the system was purposely digging a hole for him. Zhang Feng slapped the counter hard, giving Xia He a fright. He thought that Zhang Feng was angry at him, so he started trembling. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Boss? Did I say something wrong? You have to be responsible when you speak? Don¡¯t tell me you want to attack me. I¡¯m a level-15 warrior!¡± Even though that was what Xia He said, his body continued to hide behind Xia Xi. Although Xia Xi was usually fierce to Xia He, he was still very protective of Xia He when something happened. ¡°Boss, don¡¯t blame my brother. Although what he said makes sense, it doesn¡¯t seem right to hit someone here.¡± Zhang Feng took a deep breath. Of course, it was not because of Xia He and Xia Xi, but because the system was too much. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m not targeting you guys. I just¡­ it¡¯s just because there are flies on the table.¡± It was not easy for him to level up to 10% of the commission. Now, it was back to 1%. Zhang Feng wanted to cry but had no place to cry. ¡°By the way, brother, from what you said just now, you seem to know your weapon very well, right?¡± Zhang Feng said to Xia He. Xia He straightened his back, and his face instantly became arrogant. ¡°That¡¯s for sure. At least it¡¯s much stronger than the weapons in your shop.¡± After saying that, he even laughed out loud. Xia Xi nodded and replied, ¡°Yes, no offense, Boss, but my wooden staff was made from a 2,000-year-old peach tree at the peak of Heavenly Mountain. Just the mana alone is worth tens of thousands.¡± Zhang Feng only smiled. Then, he suddenly revealed a crafty smile and said to Xia He and Xia Xi, ¡°Alright, since you are so confident in your weapons, why don¡¯t we make a bet? What do you think?¡± ¡°Of course you can! Boss, what do you want to bet? We¡¯ll play along!¡± They were confident in their weapons, so Xia He and Xia Xi spoke in unison without any hesitation. ¡°How about this? If the weapons in my shop are better than the weapons in your hands, you can come to my shop to buy equipment in the future. ¡± Zhang Feng wanted to prove to the two brothers that their weapons could not be compared to any of the items in the store. Most importantly, Xia He and Xia Xi were regular customers, so he wanted to keep a good relationship with them. ¡°That¡¯s easy. If your shop¡¯s equipment is really good, then we naturally have to do business with you.¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Xia Xi thought about it and continued, ¡°That¡¯s not all. I will get all my friends to patronise your shop. Is that being loyal enough?¡± Xia Xi said. Then, he thought for a while. ¡°If you lose, what should I say?¡± Zhang Feng took a look at the more valuable items in the store. Then, he thought of the Crimsonbull Energy Drink given to him by the system and took it out to show them. Then, he said, ¡°If I lose, I¡¯ll give you two bottles of this. One for each of you. Is that enough?¡± As this Crimsonbull Energy Drink was a gift from the system, and no one in this world had ever seen it before, so Xia He became curious again. ¡°What is this thing?¡± The bottle wasn¡¯t very big, but it looked very powerful. Zhang Feng maintained his mysterious expression and said, ¡°Since it¡¯s from me, it¡¯s naturally a good thing.¡± He started introducing the Crimsonbull Energy Drink. These Energy drinks were naturally different from Immortal Pills. Other than being able to increase one¡¯s records, just one bottle could be used to level up a person. The recovery effects were also more obvious than Immortal Pills. Drinking one mouthful could let one level up and even recover at the same time. The remainder could be kept by just closing the lid. The next time it is needed, just open again and drink it. It was not a one-time use item like the Immortal Pills. It was because he had considered this point that Zhang Feng had set the price so high. ¡°Really? Boss, you¡¯re not lying, are you? You can actually recover all your strength with this kind of thing? You can even level up?¡± Xia Xi stared intently at the Crimsonbull Energy Drink in Zhang Feng¡¯s hand as if he was going to snatch it away from him in the next second. ¡°Hehe, after you used my item last time, don¡¯t you believe me? I¡¯m honest with everyone here. Whether it¡¯s the physical strength of a warrior or the magic power of a mage, I can recover all of them. You can also increase your strength to a certain extent and level up. Do you think such a treasure can be used as a bet?¡± Xia Xi and Xia He looked at each other and believed what Zhang Feng said. ¡°I¡¯m already excited by what you are telling me. What are you waiting for? Hurry up, let me see how we¡¯re going to compare!¡± Xia He was an impulsive person. He excitedly grabbed his weapon. Zhang Feng also took out an ordinary grade weapon from the back of the cupboard. Just this one alone could defeat the weapon in Xia He¡¯s hands. ¡°The requirement for the competition is very simple. Use the weapon in your hand to fight against my weapon. Use all your strength to slash at me. If my side breaks, then it¡¯s my loss. If your weapon breaks, then naturally it¡¯s your loss.¡± Xia He burst out laughing. ¡°Looks like you won¡¯t give up until you are thoroughly defeated. Fine, I¡¯ll show you how powerful my weapon is now!¡± After that, Xia He raised the weapon in his hand high up in the air. With a thunderous sound, the weapon broke and it was actually the weapon in Xia He¡¯s hand and it had a hole in it. ¡°Impossible, it must be because my luck wasn¡¯t good enough!¡± No matter what, Xia He knew that he had lost. On the other hand, the weapon in Zhang Feng¡¯s hand did not seem to be affected at all. In fact, it was glowing as though it was recounting its glory. Xia Xi, who was standing at the side, also stared in surprise. This weapon was forged by a master that the Xia family had paid a huge sum of money to. It was for them to use in the training grounds as trainees, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be destroyed just like that. ¡°Boss, you didn¡¯t cheat, right?¡± Xia He refused to admit defeat. Perhaps he felt embarrassed, so he started to look for the problem. However, Zhang Feng did not care so much. He stretched out his palm. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to bet, then you have to be willing to admit defeat. Be good and buy this weapon of mine. Thank you for the 10 Essence Stones.¡± Xia He :¡±¡­¡± Although he still felt heartache, he still had to pay. Otherwise, if word got out that he, Xia He, was cheating, he would lose even more face. ¡°Actually, you can also choose another sword that is more powerful than the one I have.¡± Then, Zhang Feng brought Xia He to the back of the cabinet. It was the excellent-grade sword that he had kept in his collection¡ªthe Army-Winning Peak Sword. ¡°Ah! This is the one!¡± He did not know if Xia He had taken a liking to this sword at once. As a warrior, he could tell at a glance that this sword was completely different from the ordinary sword that Zhang Feng had fought with earlier! ¡°Then do you want it? It only costs 200 Essence Stones. It¡¯s very cheap.¡± After hearing Zhang Feng¡¯s price, Xia He retracted his hand silently. What a joke. 200 Essence Stones just for a weapon. Zhang Feng frowned and placed the Army-Winning Peak Sword on the table. ¡°Don¡¯t think that it¡¯s too expensive. That lousy sword of yours must have cost a lot of money to get a master to forge, right? But look at what happened in the end.¡± ¡°I can say that this Army-Winning Peak Sword is definitely a hundred times better than your previous one, so this price shouldn¡¯t be too excessive, right?¡± Xia He swallowed nervously. It was obvious that he really wanted the sword, but he really didn¡¯t have that many Essence Stones on him. ¡°But¡­ I really don¡¯t have that many Essence Stones left now, so¡­¡± the ordinary one will have to do. But he really wanted the Army-Winning Peak Sword. Zhang Feng thought Xia He wanted to buy on credit, so he quickly said, ¡°This is just a small shop. If you buy on credit and everyone does that, I won¡¯t have to do business anymore. Besides, I need money to buy goods!¡± At this moment, Xia Xi said, ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Although the sword lost, I still want to compare my staff with yours!¡± Now it was Xia Xi¡¯s turn. He wanted to see if Zhang Feng¡¯s shop was filled with treasures. There would definitely be a time when he would encounter an obstacle. Zhang Feng nodded. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. There is still you.¡± Zhang Feng turned around and took out a staff from the cupboard. It was the staff that was drawn together with the Army-Winning Peak Sword¡ªFireball Staff. ¡°Magicians¡¯ attacks all require energy accumulation, right? The better the staff, the faster the energy accumulation. Let¡¯s compare and see who can accumulate energy faster.¡± Zhang Feng explained the requirements of the staff competition. Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Hence, what Zhang Feng and Xia Xi were comparing now was the accumulation of energy and magic power as mages, as well as the time needed to condense it. It could only be said that the longer one stored energy, the greater the area of effect. Of course, the effect of the attack would also be stronger. Low-level mages could freeze some smaller things when they cast their skills, such as a group of ants or some grass on the ground. However, some of the more powerful mages could freeze an entire forest if they had enough time to gather their abilities. Therefore, many mages would choose to use freezing as a beginner skill. Zhang Feng had already drunk the Crimsonbull Energy Drink and was now at level 18. However, he had never had the chance to use any skills or magical powers, so he did not know how to use them. Zhang Feng secretly asked the system, ¡°Can you tell me how to release these spells?¡± Zhang Feng used his brain to communicate with the system. The system said, ¡°Think of a solution yourself. I¡¯m just a system. I¡¯m not your teacher. How can you ask me everything?¡± Zhang Feng was utterly speechless. How could such a system support its host? Do you believe that I¡¯ll give you a one-star bad review?! He knew that he could not rely on the system. Then, Zhang Feng looked at Xia Xi and said with a smile, ¡°I can compete with you, but first, tell me how to release magic.¡± Xia Xi was speechless. ¡°Boss, aren¡¯t you a warrior?¡± Even so, in order to continue the competition, Xia Xi still told Zhang Feng the secret to releasing magic. Zhang Feng learned quickly. ¡°Alright, I understand. Let¡¯s begin!¡± He raised his staff high. The two of them said in unison, ¡°Ice Nova!¡± They started to condense magic on their staffs. Now that Zhang Feng was at level-18, he had a little bit of magic enhancement as well. Furthermore, he had both magic and physical attributes in his body. Hence, it was a piece of cake for him. Seeing that the two of them were gathering energy, Xia He started to nag at the side. ¡°Boss, if you lose to my brother, I don¡¯t want that Crimsonbull Energy Drink anymore. Can you give me the sword instead?¡± When Xia He said this, Zhang Feng felt that he was certain that Zhang Feng would lose. This was of course because, in his opinion, Xia Xi¡¯s magic staff was forged by a Grandmaster. Furthermore, the material used was thousand-year-old peach wood. Compared to his weapon, Xia Xi¡¯s weapon was much better. Hence, Xia He was certain that Zhang Feng would definitely lose to his brother! However, Xia He soon had nothing to say. Although Xia He was not a mage, it was still obvious to him which of them was stronger. It could be seen that the ice magic condensed by Zhang Feng was faster than his brother, it was even twice as fast. Furthermore, the elemental energy within it was comparable to his brother, Xia Xi. Upon seeing this scene, Xia He was shocked and muttered, ¡°Impossible, this is impossible!¡± It seemed like Zhang Feng¡¯s shop was not only filled with swords and staffs, but also top-grade items. Before they could use their abilities, Xia Xi knew that his weapon was definitely not Zhang Feng¡¯s match. Hence, he stopped casting his spells so as not to embarrass himself. He said, ¡°Alright, boss, we don¡¯t need to compete anymore. I admit defeat.¡± Seemed like his weapon had lost. There was nothing much left to say about that. They cannot believe that, be it the Immortal Pills or weapons in Zhang Feng¡¯s shop, they were all hundreds of times better than the other shops. With no argument, they accepted their loss. Just as Xia Xi said he admitted defeat, the system announced while sounding a little happier: Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest. Letting the guest know how awesome the equipment produced by the system is! Zhang Feng felt that this system was really just self-interested. Just now, it said that he had failed. Now, it was immediately saying that he had succeeded. The system continued, ¡°Now, the host will be rewarded with a lucky draw. Would you like to draw now?¡± Zhang Feng replied, ¡°No need.¡± When Zhang Feng first opened the shop, he was not thinking about these things at all, rewards or whatnot, he would think about it when the shop closed. At this moment, Xia Xi felt a little embarrassed. Because he had lost the competition, he had to buy the weapons from Zhang Feng. At this moment, he interlaced his hands and said, ¡°I¡¯m really very sorry, Boss. Although we really want to buy your weapons, we don¡¯t have so many Essence Stones on us right now.¡± Not to mention Xia He, even Xia Xi wanted to change the weapons in his hands to the ones in Zhang Feng¡¯s shop. The things Zhang Feng¡¯s shop sold were really good, but they just didn¡¯t have that many Essence Stones on them. Zhang Feng had only said those words casually earlier. Since the other party didn¡¯t have that many Essence Stones, he decided to forget about it. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m not the kind of person who would force others to buy or sell things. If you want to buy something next time, just remember me.¡± ¡°Oh, right. Actually, the main reason we¡¯re here is to say goodbye to you, Boss.¡± Xia Xi remembered why he was here. Zhang Feng placed his weapon back onto the cupboard. After wiping it, he asked, ¡°What happened? Have you completed your trials?¡± Xia Xi nodded and said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s over. That¡¯s why we might be leaving. However, if there¡¯s a chance in the future, I will still come over and patronise your business!¡± Zhang Feng was silent for a moment before returning to the cabinet. He took out the ordinary sword and handed it to Xia He. ¡°Earlier, you damaged your weapon during the competition. Since you don¡¯t have a weapon now, I¡¯ll give you this sword.¡± Actually, Zhang Feng was not a stingy person. After all, the two brothers of the Xia Family had helped him a lot. Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The Xia brothers trusted Zhang Feng and bought his equipment. That was why the system rewarded him with his items. Gathering momentum from there, his shop slowly got better. Hence, he treated it as a farewell gift for Xia He and Xia Xi. Xia He did not stand on ceremony at all. He took the weapon from Zhang Feng and laughed brightly. ¡°Is this for real? Then thank you Boss! Although you look cold, you¡¯re actually a very warm-hearted person, Boss.¡± Seeing how happy his brother was, Xia Xi also thanked Zhang Feng. ¡°You¡¯re really a very good boss.¡± Zhang Feng waved his hand, indicating that it was alright. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I hope you guys will work harder.¡± After all, the Xia brothers were not from Zhiyue City. It was only a matter of time before they left. After they bade each other farewell, Xia He happily took the weapon Zhang Feng gave him and left Zhiyue City with Xia Xi. After a long while, Zhang Feng started to think. He muttered, ¡°Oh right, the Glory Training Ground is not far from Zhiyue City, right?¡± Half an hour later, a rough voice came from outside. ¡°Strange, when did a shop open up in this place?¡± Outside Zhang Feng¡¯s shop, there was a tall man with a build like a bear. His muscles were well-developed, but his face was not well-defined. Simply put, he was just a well-built bald man. The bald man looked fierce as he walked in with a large knife in his hand. As the bald man walked in, he said with ill intentions, ¡°Hey, is there anyone inside?¡± Zhang Feng popped his head out from the counter and went up to him. ¡°I¡¯m the boss of this shop. May I know what you would like to buy?¡± The bald man was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he found Zhang Feng unfamiliar. Furthermore, it seemed like Zhang Feng did not recognize him. Thus, the bald man felt a little angry. His face turned serious and he started shouting loudly, ¡°You brat! You opened a shop in Zhiyue City and you don¡¯t even know me?!¡± Actually, in his mind, Zhang Feng was thinking. Why should I know you? However, he remained calm on the surface. ¡°May I know who you are?¡± ¡°Me? I¡¯m Silver Tiger. Anyone who runs a shop on this street has to pay me management fees. Don¡¯t you know?¡± Silver Tiger pointed at him and raised his head as though he was looking down on Zhang Feng. About these management fees, it is not referring to property management fees, but rather, giving the local tyrants here some money. Otherwise, they would come looking for trouble every few days. Actually, Zhang Feng had been in Zhiyue City for more than a month now, and he had heard of such things before. No matter what, Zhiyue City was a relatively remote city, and cannot be controlled by the central cities. Hence, there were many local tyrants who went around to cause trouble. However, Zhang Feng¡¯s shop was definitely different from other shops. Zhang Feng didn¡¯t know and didn¡¯t want to know whether the other shops pay or not, but he would never let such a person cause trouble in his own territory. ¡°So you¡¯re saying that you didn¡¯t come here to buy my things but to cause trouble?¡± Zhang Feng¡¯s tone was still as calm as ever. ¡°Cause trouble? You must be joking. Do you think we will cause trouble? If you pay the management fees, I can punish those people who cause trouble. But if you don¡¯t pay the management fees, then it¡¯s hard to say. Who knows, someone might come and destroy your shop tomorrow.¡± The meaning of Silver Tiger¡¯s words was clearly to threaten Zhang Feng. ¡°Oh, okay. I won¡¯t pay the management fees. I¡¯m looking forward to seeing how those people are causing trouble in my territory.¡± When Silver Tiger heard Zhang Feng¡¯s words, he instantly burst out laughing. ¡°Sure, you¡¯ve got guts!¡± Then, he turned to leave while laughing loudly. Zhang Feng knew that he did not need to bother about such people. Didn¡¯t the system give him some defense systems? If someone came to his place to cause trouble, he could just activate the defense system and they would be in trouble. ¡°Ah! Zhang Feng! Just ignore him!¡± An old uncle suddenly walked into Zhang Feng¡¯s shop. This old man owned the shop next to Zhang Feng, and specialized in selling supplementary equipment. Their monthly income was just enough to feed their family. The old man said, ¡°I just saw Silver Tiger leave your side. Did he come over to ask you for management fees?¡± Zhang Feng answered honestly, ¡°Yes, but I didn¡¯t give it to him.¡± When the old uncle heard that, he knew that things weren¡¯t looking good. ¡°You¡¯re not giving him management fees? If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯ll be a bit troublesome. It¡¯s fine during the day, when there are still some mercenaries watching on the streets. However, when night comes, they will definitely bring their brothers to find trouble with you.¡± Zhang Feng shrugged. ¡°Oh, is that so? I really want to see how capable they are.¡± The old man was called Ah Bang. He was middle-aged and was already past his prime. However, he was not a bad person. When Zhang Feng first came over, this Uncle Ah Bang had helped him and given him some food. ¡°Hey, Zhang Feng, just saying, but young people like you shouldn¡¯t offend someone just because of a moment of impulse!¡± Uncle Ah Bang wanted to persuade Zhang Feng. If something really happened, it would not be good. ¡°Silver Tiger is well known in this area, to be vicious. If you offend him like this, you might not have a good ending. Listen to Uncle¡¯s advice and pay the management fees!¡± The people who opened shops here were all angry at people like Silver Tiger but did not dare to speak up. They only wanted to earn a living. Who wanted to bring trouble to themselves? Zhang Feng naturally knew that Uncle Ah Bang was concerned about him, but he really wasn¡¯t too worried. The system wouldn¡¯t let anything happen to him, so he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll help you teach this Silver Tiger a lesson.¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios However, Silver Tiger was notorious in Zhiyue City. Uncle Ah Bang could not feel at ease even with Zhang Feng¡¯s words. ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t say that I didn¡¯t warn you. When Silver Tiger comes, you have to prepare the money, understand?¡± Uncle Ah Bang sighed and left the shop while shaking his head. Zhang Feng crossed his legs and waited for the opening hours to end. When it was 10 pm, he closed the shop on time. It was really miserable. His income today was still zero dollars, and he even gave Xia He a weapon. Xia He and Xia Xi were regular customers, but they had also gone to the training ground. Fortunately, Zhang Feng still had a chance to draw. When it was time to close for business, Zhang Feng summoned the system. ¡°Is the system here? I want to redeem the lottery that you gave me today!¡± This time, the system did not say much. Instead, it directly placed the lottery draw in front of Zhang Feng. ¡°Then you can draw.¡± After a few rounds of lottery draws, Zhang Feng had figured out a trick. When he was pulling the stick, he should not pull it down too hard. He had to pull it slowly then he could get something good. Of course, this was just what Zhang Feng thought¡­ After Zhang Feng pulled the stick, the screen of the lottery draw began to spin again. Finally, it stopped at a Skill Stone*3. This was something new again. Zhang Feng had never heard of a Skill Stone before. Zhang Feng¡¯s eyes widened when he saw the new item, he could tell by just looking at the name, that it must be something pretty good. Furthermore, based on the personality of the system, this was definitely a type of crystallization of a skill, right? However, these were even rarer than crystals refined from training. Zhang Feng was probably going to be rich! The system said, ¡°The reward has been selected and is beginning to be distributed. Please check.¡± When Zhang Feng heard the system¡¯s words again, he took the initiative to extend his hand. Then, three rocks the size of quail eggs appeared. These stones were translucent. These were for skills from three main attributes, and the attributes were Earth, Wind, and Thunder. These three attributes were more suitable for a Mage. It could also be used if you put it on a Warrior¡¯s weapon, but the effect was not as strong as a Mage¡¯s. The attributes and usage techniques of the Skill Stones appeared in Zhang Feng¡¯s mind. ¡°That¡¯s right, these are the Skill Crystals I had imagined!¡± Zhang Feng exclaimed. According to the rules of the character, as long as these three Skill Stones were sold, the system would not be able to participate in the commission. All the money were to be kept by Zhang Feng himself. This way, Zhang Feng would again earn back a huge sum of money! Furthermore, the attributes of these skills were obviously not weak. If they were sold, Zhang Feng would be rich. ¡°Not bad, not bad. I¡¯m in a very good mood. Hahaha, I¡¯ll definitely sleep very soundly tonight!¡± To him, he was still too low-leveled to use these Skill Stones. Hence, he could only sell them to the higher-leveled ones. And naturally, the higher-leveled ones would not lack money. Just thinking of this made Zhang Feng snicker in his bed. In the middle of the night, Zhang Feng had only slept for two or three hours when there was a commotion outside. Zhang Feng woke him up. He rubbed his eyes and put on his shoes before walking over to take a look. It turned out to be Silver Tiger¡¯s subordinates, Blackiron Cat and Brass Dog. They were holding some pendulum hammers. It was obvious that they wanted to smash Zhang Feng¡¯s shop. Alright, although the intelligence of Zhiyue City was still very complicated, as expected, the mercenaries still had one eye open and one eye closed when it came to shops that they had no impression of. Therefore, Silver Tiger and his gang took advantage of these inconspicuous shops. If each shop gave them some money every month, it was enough for them to live on. ¡°How arrogant. I didn¡¯t expect there to be a shop that wouldn¡¯t pay our management fees. Looks like the people here are really bold!¡± Blackiron Cat swung the pendulum in his hand as he looked at the shop in front of him. After Zhang Feng¡¯s shop was upgraded, it looked much more pleasing to the eye. Therefore, to Blackiron Cat and Brass Dog, it looked like Zhang Feng¡¯s shop had earned quite a lot of mone and just didn¡¯t want to give them management fees. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯ve trashed a shop like this. Today is a good time for us to warm up our muscles!¡± ¡°Looks like our Violent Beast Gang is being looked down upon by others. That¡¯s why they¡¯re so arrogant, isn¡¯t it?¡± Brass Dog looked left and right, and found that the mercenaries had already knocked off. He then exchanged glances with Blackiron Cat. Blackiron Cat said to Brass Dog, ¡°This is the one. You go first!¡± Brass Dog started swinging his hammer at Zhang Feng¡¯s shop. Now even though they were named after cats and dogs, their muscles were actually as terrifying as silver-backed gorillas. However, only a loud thud was heard. ¡°Dong¡­¡± Not only was Zhang Feng¡¯s shop completely fine, but the hammers in their hands had also fallen to the ground. Their hands were trembling, and the web between their thumb and index finger was hurting from holding the hammers. ¡°This, this, what¡¯s going on?!¡± Brass Dog¡¯s eyes widened. That¡¯s impossible, right? It was a glass window that they were trying to smash just now! Even if the glass was bulletproof, it couldn¡¯t possibly withstand the hammer! ¡°Did you not sleep at night recently and did something else more exciting with your hands? Is that why your body is weak?¡± Blackiron Cat mocked Brass Dog. Brass Dog was not happy. ¡°If you are more capable, then you do it!¡± Even if he did some embarrassing things every day, his body was not a joke. There must be something fishy about this shop. Blackiron Cat heard him, swung the hammer in his hand, and slammed it viciously against the glass window. It was the same sound as before. However, the impact this time made him take two or three steps back, and the hammer in his hand hit his shoulder blade. ¡°So painful!¡± Blackiron Cat looked at the glass window in front of him in disbelief. More than the pain on his body, he was embarrassed to show that his body was so weak as well in front of his brother. The two of them looked at each other again and said, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. Let¡¯s do it together!¡± They picked up their pendulum hammers fiercely again, preparing to smash the shop again. Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At this moment, a figure appeared from the shop. This figure walked out with his hands in his pockets. ¡°How was it? Did you have a good time smashing it? It seems like you don¡¯t care about me, right?¡± Zhang Feng recalled the scene just now, and it was really awesome. It seemed like the protective shield designed by the system was top-notch. ¡°Oh? You¡¯re the boss of this shop? Good, you¡¯re willing to come out now? You look down on us, the Beast Gang, and you¡¯re not even willing to pay the management fees? Then don¡¯t mind us not being nice to you!¡± When Brass Dog saw that the person who walked out was pale and weak-looking, like a boiled chicken, he became even more arrogant. ¡°I was still wondering who was so arrogant to not give us the management fees. So it¡¯s a kid like you.¡± Blackiron Cat said, ¡°Why are you still talking to him? Attack!¡± The two of them did not care about Zhang Feng at all. In their eyes, a single finger could crush him to the ground. The two of them picked up the pendulum hammers on the ground and charged towards Zhang Feng. It was at this moment that the system suddenly sounded in Zhang Feng¡¯s mind. ¡°The host has been threatened. Activate the protective effect automatically. As long as the owner is within the range of the shop, he will be invincible!¡± In an instant, Zhang Feng could feel a huge amount of power surging through his body. The system must have strengthened his power just now, and Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat were heading towards him with their pendulum hammers. However, Zhang Feng didn¡¯t dodge. He just stood there. However, he was still very nervous. He didn¡¯t know if the invincible effect that the system mentioned meant that he just would not be killed or if it would completely block the damage. The two meanings were completely different. For example, you wouldn¡¯t die, but you would be injured and in pain. Of course, Zhang Feng didn¡¯t want to be in pain. However, looking as the pendulum hammer swung towards him, its power was so great that it caused a howling sound. ¡°Dong!¡± The hammer landed on Zhang Feng¡¯s head. But because it was too dark, it was not apparent if Zhang Feng was dead or still standing there without moving. However, after receiving such a blow, even if he didn¡¯t die, he would be crippled. ¡°So, this is all of your strength?¡± Zhang Feng took two steps forward. Although the hammer had struck his body, he did not feel much pain. Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat rubbed their eyes in disbelief. ¡°You, you, you, who the hell are you?!¡± Impossible! They had used all their strength to throw a punch at Zhang Feng, but he did not even lose a hair. In fact, there seemed to be an invisible shield just now that blocked the attacks of Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat. Zhang Feng simply stood there and even condensed a magic energy ball in his palm. ¡°Microscopic Light Wave. This skill should be able to cause the skin to burn. I really want to know what it is like.¡± Zhang Feng said as he aimed the Microscopic Light Wave at the two people in front of him. ¡°No! Don¡¯t do that to us!¡± Only then did Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat realize that Zhang Feng was not the boss of a shop but a cultivator. He had martial strength! The two of them were so frightened that they almost peed their pants. They could also tell that the light wave that Zhang Feng was using was a very powerful ability. Therefore, Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat now only had one thought in their minds, and that was to run! But even if they wanted to run, it was too late. After all, their legs were not as fast as magic attacks. Zhang Feng flung his hand gently and threw out the light wave, while Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat were still roaring away. By the time the light wave covered their bodies, all the screams had stopped. All that was left was Blackiron Cat and Brass Dog turning into roasted pigs. Their bodies were smoking and their skin was burning. ¡°Tsk tsk, what a pity. I don¡¯t have many skills. If not, I can let you guys endure a weaker attack. Who knew that the damage of light waves is quite high.¡± Zhang Feng blew at the white smoke that was still rising from his hands and said, ¡°Then just take it as punishment.¡± Now that Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat had been dealt with, Zhang Feng¡¯s defense had also been removed. Naturally, Zhang Feng¡¯s sudden surge of power was retracted by the system. In fact, the ability of light waves was not that powerful. At most, it would be as painful as a whip. You could tell just by its name. However, it was precisely because the system had increased the strength of his body that Zhang Feng was able to unleash such great strength. Forget it, this was not his strength anyway. Zhang Feng just did whatever he needed to. Zhang Feng yawned and went back to his shop to sleep, with not a care about the two roasted pigs lying by the roadside. When it was nine o¡¯clock the next morning, just as Zhang Feng¡¯s shop was to be opened, there was suddenly a commotion outside the shop as if many people were chattering. When Zhang Feng opened the door, he saw a group of curious people on the street crowded around and looking at Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat lying on the ground smoking. Zhang Feng :¡±¡­¡± It can¡¯t be that amazing, right? It¡¯s already been smoking for an entire night and there¡¯s no end to it. Perhaps because their skin was charred, it was hard to see their faces. One of the shop owners seemed to have recognized them and shouted, ¡°Ah¡ª!¡± Another female boss pushed the boss. ¡°Why are you shouting? People who don¡¯t know might think that you stepped on shit.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat of the Beast Gang? How did it become like this?¡± Although the two of them were just two small fries of the Beast Gang, they were still quite powerful figures. Uncle Ah Bang, who could not believe it, was also dumbfounded. ¡°From the looks of it, they must have been taught a lesson by someone above the Warrior level. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have become like this.¡± The bosses of the shops around here were all weak. They didn¡¯t expect a shop owner to have such skills. Chapter 20 - Strong Customer Chapter 20 Strong Customer ¡°By the way, what are you all doing outside my shop? Are you here to patronize my shop?¡± Zhang Feng rubbed his eyes as he spoke while opening his shop. He watched them crowd around so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. This was not good for his business. ¡°No, look, do you know these two people?¡± Someone asked Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng nodded. ¡°Yes, I do. Isn¡¯t that all? What¡¯s there to see?¡± It seemed like everyone already knew that it was Zhang Feng who had caused the two of them to become like this. Hence, everyone was looking at Zhang Feng strangely. All of them left slowly, leaving only Uncle Ah Bang, who was worried about Zhang Feng yesterday. Uncle Ah Bang blinked his eyes and said coolly, ¡°Little Brother Zhang Feng, did you really take care of these two guys?¡± ¡°Ah, what¡¯s wrong? The two of them came to find trouble with me yesterday, so I taught them a lesson.¡± ¡°Wow, then you¡¯re really quite impressive. I was quite worried that you would be taught a lesson by them, but I didn¡¯t expect you to teach them a lesson!¡± Uncle Ah Bang raised his thumb up at Zhang Feng. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m still standing fine in front of you. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Uncle Ah Bang scratched his head. ¡°But you¡¯re indirectly offending the Beast Gang.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, just go with the flow.¡± After saying that, Zhang Feng went into the shop to clean up. Uncle Ah Bang also went back into his shop. The Skill Stones that he had obtained yesterday were also placed on top of the display cabinet. Now, he would have to get the system to help him estimate how much they could be sold for. He believed that these three Skill Stones could be sold for a good price. At this moment, a customer came knocking on his door. Zhang Feng raised his head and took a look. It was another man. This man was very tall and sturdy. There was also a scar on his face, and he was wearing an iron armor. Zhang Fengguang felt that this armor was at least fifty to sixty kilograms, but this man seemed to be wearing it like it was nothing. Furthermore, there was an extremely huge knife on his back. The width of this knife was as wide as Zhang Feng. When the man walked in, he turned back to look at Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat outside. ¡°By the way, boss, are you preparing a barbeque outside? It smells quite good.¡± The moment the man opened his mouth, Zhang Feng was shocked. ¡°I suggest you not be greedy. After all, they are humans.¡± Zhang Feng did not know if this man was joking or telling the truth. The man simply laughed out loud. His voice sounded very heroic. ¡°Hahahaha, I was just joking.¡± Zhang Feng nodded and led the customer to the display. ¡°What would you like to buy?¡± The man said, ¡°It¡¯s like this. Previously, I met a friend at Forest of the Moon Falls and he gave me an Immortal Pill. I think it¡¯s very effective. They said they bought it from you.¡± CIn fact, this burly man in front of him was not a cultivator, but a mercenary in Zhiyue City. Besides having a job as a mercenary, he would usually go to the Forest of the Moon Falls to find some magical beasts. Not only could he improve his abilities, he could also earn some extra money. This man was called Ding Dayong. This time, he had gone to Forest of the Moon Falls and hunted five wild beasts. When he was preparing to return, he encountered an adult demonic beast. Demonic beasts were relatively powerful in Zhiyue City. Thinking back to Xia He, Xia Xi, Ge Yangguang, and the others, they could only deal with the young Demonic Beasts if they worked together. If they were to encounter an adult demonic beast, they would not have the ability to handle it. Initially, one would only encounter a handful of demonic beasts in the periphery,for some reason, the encounters had increased in the periphery recently. Perhaps something had happened in the Forest of the Moon Falls. Fortunately, Ding Dayong ran into Ge Yangguang and the others. Previously, Ge Yangguang had bought quite a number of Immortal Pills from Zhang Feng, including Godspeed Immortal Pills. They had only consumed Godspeed Immortal Pills, so the demonic beasts naturally could not keep up with them. That way, they managed to keep their lives. However, Ding Dayong was already a level 30 warrior, yet he was still helpless against such a demon beast. Who knew which demon beasts he would encounter next time he went into the forest? Therefore, Ding Dayong wanted to come here first and see if there were any Godspeed Immortal Pills or Invigorate Immortal Pills. This way, he might not just be able to escape and might even be able to counterattack! After hearing Ding Dayong¡¯s story, Zhang Feng nodded. ¡°In that case, you must have been introduced here by that group of people. That¡¯s right, they bought their Immortal Pills from me.¡± ¡°The Immortal Pills for sale are all on the display cabinet, please have a look to see which ones you want.¡± Zhang Feng explained the main attributes of these Immortal Pills. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. Shop owner, I heard from those brothers that even though the effects of your Immortal Pills are very good, the price is also very high.¡± Zhang Feng thought that Ding Dayong was going to bargain with him again. However, Ding Dayong continued, ¡°However, after witnessing the power of your Immortal Pills, I feel that the price you¡¯re offering¡­ is really very high!¡± After all, Ding Dayong was a level 30 warrior. After reaching level 20, the higher the level, the harder it would be to level up. The experience required would be greater, and after level 30, one could level up to the next major level. Furthermore, he had a decent job as a mercenary. Hence, Ding Dayong still had some savings on him. However, when faced with Zhang Feng¡¯s price, he could only hope to quench his thirst. ¡°It¡¯s like this, but I won¡¯t lower the price.¡± Zhang Feng still felt that he should give him a heads up. Ding Dayong laughed widely. ¡°Haha, I already knew that.¡± Then, he took out 50 Essence Stones from his body. He wanted to see what Zhang Feng could sell him with these 50 Essence Stones. This time, Ding Dayong discovered that there was a weapon hanging on the cupboard. ¡°Ah, so you not only sell Immortal Pills, but also weapons?¡± ¡°Yes, these weapons are different from the weapons outside. I can say that my weapons are among the best in the entire Zhiyue City.¡± Zhang Feng looked at this person. He should be someone who was good at physical attacks. Hence, he recommended a large saber to him. Ding Dayong waved his hand. ¡°Your weapon looks too thin. I¡¯m not used to it.¡± Ding Dayong¡¯s name was the same as his. Everything was big, and weapons had to be big too. Chapter 21 - Kick Them Out Chapter 21 Kick Them Out Zhang Feng nodded and said, ¡°We will have weapons that are heavier in the future.¡± Just as Zhang Feng was about to say something else, there was a sudden thud and the door of the shop was kicked open. It turned out to be Silver Tiger who came yesterday. He was leading a group of people as they walked in with weapons in their hands. ¡°You rascal, although I do not know what you did yesterday, you left our little brothers outside just like that.¡± Silver Tiger glanced at Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat outside, still emitting smoke. ¡°But if you don¡¯t give us an explanation today, you can forget about staying in Zhiyue City.¡± Silver Tiger harrumphed, and together with his brothers behind him, started to try and look impressive. They looked at Zhang Feng as though they were waiting for a reasonable explanation. ¡°Brother Tiger, why are you still talking so much to this brat? We can just attack him directly. I want to see what capabilities he has to dare treat us brothers like this!¡± ¡°Another way is to take away all the Immortal Pills and weapons in this brat¡¯s possession as payment for the management fees!¡± Another person seemed to have discovered something and shouted, ¡°Brother Tiger, come and take a look! What is this?!¡± They were called over to the side by this person¡¯s exclamation, and they saw the Skill Stone on the cupboard. That person added, ¡°Isn¡¯t this the legendary Skill Stone?¡± This item immediately appeared in everyone¡¯s mind. Even warrior-level Skill Stones could easily be sold for hundreds or thousands of Essence Stones. That was not something they could imagine. ¡°Very well, now that you have made your move against my two underlings, plus this month¡¯s management fees, we will be taking these three Skill Stones.¡± As Silver Tiger spoke, he extended his hand towards the Skill Stones, not concealing the greed in his eyes at all. ¡°All of you, stop¡± The person who spoke was Ding Dayong. He had not said a word earlier, but when he saw Silver Tiger reaching out to snatch something, he was unwilling to stand by and do nothing, and used his own hand to grab Silver Tiger¡¯s wrist. ¡°Mm? Ding Dayong, so you¡¯re here as well. Could it be that you were the one who attacked us last night?¡± Silver Tiger¡¯s movements paused for a moment, he turned around and saw Ding Dayong. Previously, he didn¡¯t even notice that Ding Dayong was here. He suddenly had a stunned expression. ¡°So the people outside the shop are from the Beast Gang. No wonder they are all so ugly. The people from your gang are famous for being ugly, right?¡± Ding Dayong was very tall and sturdy. Even in front of Silver Tiger, he looked like a giant ¡°What did you say?!¡± They were both from Zhiyue City. One was a member of the Beast Gang, and the other was a very famous mercenary. Therefore, Ding Dayong and Silver Tiger definitely knew each other. Not only did they know each other, but they also had some missions previously where they had some conflicts. However, the difference was that Ding Dayong would not be able to deal with the entire Beast Gang by himself if he wanted to, because Silver Tiger was already level 25. He was five levels higher than Silver Tiger, but if the other little bastards were to come at him together, then Ding Dayong would have a hard time too. Besides, Ding Dayong had always been a loner. It was actually quite easy for him to deal with the members of the Beast Gang. At this point Silver Tiger did not dare to deal with Ding Dayong. However, these Skill Stones were very valuable and precious, so Silver Tiger also did not want to give up. ¡°So, you want to interfere in this matter, right?¡± Silver Tiger gritted his teeth and said fiercely to Ding Dayong. As long as someone stood in his way of getting rich, he would not hold back. Although the person in front of him was stronger than him, he still had his brothers with him. If they fought, he might not lose! ¡°I just want to tell you that although the boss of this store is a bit black-hearted and the things he sells are a bit expensive, these things are all genuine and have certain effects. Therefore, I won¡¯t allow your Violent Beast Gang to act recklessly.¡± Ding Dayong was actually a man with a strong sense of justice. When he saw that peace was about to be broken, he spoke with righteousness. ¡°Hmph, go ahead and give it a try then. Let¡¯s see if you can take it or not. Little brothers, do it! Smash everything in the shop and take everything away!¡± This time, Silver Tiger started to rise up against him. Previously, he had already tolerated Ding Dayong for a long time. Now, he really wanted to show his temper, to show that he was not a pushover either. ¡°I want to see who dares to attack me!¡± Ding Dayong pulled out the large saber on his back. When he pulled out the large saber, a beam of light shone directly on their faces, so brightly that their eyes could not even copen. The atmosphere in the shop was tense, ready to fight at any moment. Because Silver Tiger had brought people to Zhang Feng¡¯s shop to cause trouble, all the other shop owners noticed the commotion. Hence, they all appeared in Zhang Feng¡¯s shop to see what was going on. ¡°Heavens, isn¡¯t this Silver Tiger of the Beast Gang? He wanted to cause trouble yesterday, but ended up being dealt with by someone else instead. Now he¡¯s personally bringing his underlings to cause trouble!¡± ¡°Poor Little Brother Zhang Feng. He just opened his shop not long ago, but he¡¯s closing now. ¡°That¡¯s right. After offending the Beast Gang, nobody stays safe and sound. Now, it¡¯s all up to Zhang Feng.¡± All the bosses of the stores started discussing among themselves, deciding that Zhang Feng was going to suffer a loss. Even if the two people in front of the shop were still smoking, those two small fries definitely couldn¡¯t compare to Silver Tiger of the Beast Gang. ¡°Oh? You guys are arguing like this, as if you don¡¯t even care about me, the shop owner?¡± Zhang Feng suddenly broke the atmosphere and stood out with his hands behind his back, looking very calm. Chapter 22 - Youre Going to Lose Chapter 22 You¡¯re Going to Lose Silver Tiger sized up Zhang Feng from head to toe, not feeling the slightest threat from this kid. ¡°Why? Do I need your permission to do what I want to do? What can you do? You¡¯re just a useless chicken! If Ding Dayong hadn¡¯t been here today, I reckon you would have already knelt on the ground and begged us for mercy.¡± This was how Silver Tiger looked down on Zhang Feng. He reckoned that Zhang Feng would not be able to withstand even his first move. However, Zhang Feng did not react at all. ¡°I just wanted to tell you that you can¡¯t get close to me at all. I must have my reasons for daring to open a business.¡± Hearing Zhang Feng¡¯s words, the members of the Beast Gang burst into laughter. It was as if a sheep was talking to a tiger and did not know the danger it was in. ¡°Clang!¡± Suddenly, Silver Tiger pulled out the spear behind him and pointed it at Zhang Feng. ¡°Brothers, attack. As for Ding Dayong, just watch.¡± ¡°As long as we get these three Skill Stones, we can spend as much as we want for a long time!¡± The place they liked to go the most was the Caihua Tower. From the name of the place, one can tell it was an indecent place. Most of the people who came here to cultivate were men, and since women cultivators were rare, the men needed somewhere to vent their energy. As for the place to vent their energy, they would definitely find a place with many ladies. Because of the promise made by Silver Tiger, the lackeys that came along were all very excited. They began to show off and started to smash Zhang Feng¡¯s shop. At this time, the system naturally wouldn¡¯t allow them to mess around. ¡°Someone causing trouble in the store detected! In front of the store, the store owner is inviolable!¡± Zhang Feng once again felt a boundless power coming from his body. Just like yesterday, it was as if all the power was gathered in his dantian. As Ding Dayong swung his saber down and started fighting with Silver Tiger, the two of them felt a powerful force at the same time. They turned their heads in unison and realized that the person who was emitting this powerful force was actually Zhang Feng! A fireball was formed over Zhang Feng¡¯s hand. This type of fireball was a primary skill of the Nine Yang Infern.o The flames seemed to have engulfed everyone present. ¡°Nine Yang Inferno First Form!¡± After he finished speaking, he had finished condensing his skill. Everyone was shocked. In just a short second, the condensation was completed. How powerful was this ability?! When Zhang Feng looked at them, he had a calm expression as if he was judging them. After saying that, a powerful force exploded in the shop along with the fluctuations in the air. But what was strange was that not a single item in the shop was damaged, but their people had all been blown out. Those people were now like Brass Dog and Blackiron Cat. They had all turned into black charcoal, emitting black smoke and were lying face up outside. ¡°Just now, what exactly happened? Did I see something wrong?!¡± The shop owners, Ding Dayong and Silver Tiger, who were fighting, had already stopped moving. The Silver Tiger brought along seven to eight lackeys. Although they were only around level-12, there were many of them. How could they not defeat Zhang Feng? ¡°Although I am very grateful for your kind intentions, I can still settle this matter myself. After all, they are just a bunch of small fries.¡± Zhang Fengyong said to Ding Dayong before looking coldly at Silver Tiger. What? Zhang Feng actually said that the Beast Gang was a small fry? After Zhang Feng said that, Silver Tiger felt a cold chill. It was as if the residual force from earlier had not disappeared. Although he felt a chill, his back was already sweating profusely. ¡°That¡¯s impossible, you actually have such a powerful ability! You must have reached around rank 50, right?! But with such strength, why would you open a shop in Zhiyue City? Right now, Silver Tiger¡¯s entire body went rigid. He really didn¡¯t expect the person in front of him to be this powerful. ¡°What I do is my own business, but if you come here again, I might directly attack you. I can even say that everyone in your gang will be removed from ZhiyueCity.¡± This was no joke. With the system¡¯s help, Zhang Feng had leveled up to Level 50. With such a record, even a hundred Silver Tigers would not be his match. Silver Tiger immediately admitted defeat. If he didn¡¯t, he would have turned into a piece of scorched earth. ¡°I don¡¯t dare anymore, we wouldn¡¯t dare anymore. Please let me go!¡± Silver Tiger immediately knelt on the ground. Even the weapon in his hand was placed on the ground. He was just short of kowtowing to Zhang Feng This was because he could not possibly fight a mage with Zhang Feng¡¯s ability at all. Even though he could tell that Zhang Feng had already gone easy on the seven or eight lackeys that he had brought with him, he still did not know if they were still alive. Silver Tiger also knew that if Zhang Feng were to make a move on him, it would be as easy as lifting a finger. Zhang Feng¡¯s gaze instantly turned cold as he said slowly, ¡°I welcome every customer who comes to my shop to do business, but I won¡¯t allow anyone to cause trouble in my shop, so you better take care of yourself. Don¡¯t think too highly of yourself. You have to see your own worth!¡± ¡°Take your underlings and leave this place immediately. If you appear in my line of sight again, I will not show any mercy next time.¡± Zhang Feng turned around with a small fireball in his hand. He wanted to show off his might to Silver Tiger and let him know that Zhang Feng was a man of his words. As if he had been granted amnesty, Silver Tiger hurriedly kowtowed to Zhang Feng. ¡°Yes, yes, yes, we will leave right now. Please don¡¯t make any more moves!¡± After saying that, he immediately left with his men and dragged his lackeys away at the fastest speed possible. At this time, the onlookers outside all suspected that they were dreaming, as if they were watching a big show. Chapter 23 - He Is The Big Brother Chapter 23 He Is The Big Brother Could it be that the people Zhang Feng taught a lesson to were really from the Beast Gang? Why did it feel like he was teaching a lesson to paper people, like it was nothing? After this incident, the Violent Beast Gang probably wouldn¡¯t dare to appear on this street anymore. Furthermore, the people on this street had Zhang Feng¡¯s backing. In the future, they probably wouldn¡¯t have to pay the management fees anymore and would have an additional income! Right now, the bosses of the other shops swallowed nervously as they looked at Zhang Feng and thought to themselves that Zhang Feng was truly a hidden expert. They did not dare to say anything now, because they had looked down on Zhang Feng earlier, not expecting him to be such an expert. Hence, they could only return to their own shop. ¡°This¡­ boss, I really couldn¡¯t tell that you were so powerful!¡± Ding Dayong laughed, then put his big saber back on his back. However, the system had just retracted its energy, and Zhang Feng was still hiding the fact that he felt so weak and almost gasping for breath as he spoke, but he still endured it and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, no matter what, I¡¯m still very grateful that you helped me just now.¡± However, Ding Dayong felt that he was being nosy. With Zhang Feng¡¯s ability, it would be easy for him to chase all of them out. Although the defense ability that the system put up in the shop would be instilled into Zhang Feng¡¯s body when it was really dangerous, Zhang Feng¡¯s level still could not keep up with this ability. Therefore, when the ability was withdrawn, Zhang Feng would feel exhausted. That was why Zhang Feng wanted to raise his level. Only then would he not be so weak next time. Moreover, the biggest drawback was that Zhang Feng could enjoy such an ability only in the shop. If he went out, Zhang Feng would still be beaten up by others. This restriction was really too great. That was why Zhang Feng couldn¡¯t wait to improve his strength. ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect you to have Skill Stones for sale in your shop. Why didn¡¯t you say so just now?¡± Ding Dayong sighed because he knew that Skill Stones were expensive. Even a single Skill Stone was equivalent to the annual salary of an ordinary shop in the middle of the city. When others obtained Skill Stones, they would hide them and not sell them like Zhang Feng. That was why people with ulterior motives coveted them. However, it was obvious after thinking about it. Zhang Feng was so powerful, that he was not afraid that others would come and look for trouble. Whoever dared to snatch something from Zhang Feng would end up like that Silver Tiger. NO ¡°Why? You seem to be very interested. Do you want to know more about it?¡± After Zhang Feng heard this, he wanted to sell it quickly because he was really short of money. Ding Dayong knew how expensive Skill Stones were, so he hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head. ¡°Ahaha, let¡¯s do it next time! If there¡¯s a chance next time, I¡¯ll buy it from the shop owner!¡± Even if he worked for another five years, he would not be able to buy it at this price. Sales were still sales. However, if the other party did not intend to buy it, it was better not to force it. ¡°That goes without saying. If you want a weapon next time, you can come to me. I might have some heavier weapons for you.¡± ¡°Mhm, then I won¡¯t stay here any longer. I still have some things to do now.¡± Then, Ding Dayong looked at the distant Forest of the Moon Falls and said, ¡°I still have to go back to the Forest of the Moon Falls to hunt wild beasts!¡± Ding Dayong had already bought a few Immortal Pills from Zhang Feng. Now that he saw the price on the weapons, he said, ¡°The weapons on your side are still quite expensive. They¡¯re several times more expensive than other people¡¯s weapons!¡± ¡°But of course, because everything I sell is worth its weight in gold. I certainly wouldn¡¯t offer such a price if it wasn¡¯t good!¡± After a pause, Zhang Feng thought of something and said to Ding Dayong, ¡°By the way, I also collect beast essence here. Do you want to consider handing it to me?¡± ¡°Ah? Really? In that case, I¡¯ll look for you directly the next time I need to sell beast essence. Beast essence is also very important. I won¡¯t have to look for a buyer.¡± Ding Dayong smiled, then went out the front door of the shop. With these Immortal Pills and Ding Dayong¡¯s own strength, he believed that it would not be a problem to deal with an adult demon beast. Zhang Feng had just placed the Essence Stones in his hand on the counter when it instantly turned into 200 coins. Recently, the Immortal Pills seemed to be sold off faster, so there were not many pills left in the cupboard. ¡°I have to ensure that there are enough stocks for sale in the shop at all times. This is very important, otherwise, the next time customers come, they will think that my shop doesn¡¯t have anything to sell.¡± Zhang Feng muttered to himself. Then, he thought to himself that he had coins anyway. Moreover, everyone was preparing for their lunch break, so Zhang Feng summoned the system at this moment. ¡°System, help me recharge again. Help me recharge 200 coins.¡± After saying that, the system¡¯s voice quickly replied, ¡°The exchange has been successful. Would you like to draw now?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Zhang Feng said. Then, he began to draw 30 times in a row. This was because Zhang Feng had come to a conclusion. That was, as long as he drew more pills in a row, the items that appeared would be refreshing to him, and some new Immortal Pills would appear. As expected, this time, other than the same Immortal Pills as last time, there was also an additional Divine Shrine Immortal Pill. The Divine Shrine Immortal Pill: ¡°Permanent increase in constitution. Everyone can only use it twice in their lifetime. No level restriction.¡± The system gave Zhang Feng this explanation. Actually, this was a relatively rare Immortal Pill. It could permanently increase one¡¯s constitution. Be it a Level 1 Warrior or a Level 100 Warrior, it could be used. Zhang Feng was surprised. ¡°I drew from an ordinary Immortal Pill pool just now, but this thing is so rare, it should be an excellent Immortal Pill pool!¡± Thinking about it, temporarily increasing attributes was completely different from permanently increasing attributes. The higher the level, the harder it was to level up, and the attributes level up rate became slower and slower. However, after using this Divine Shrine Immortal Pill once, it would permanently increase. Ignoring your current level, it would still increase. Chapter 24 - The Best Cannot Be Sold Chapter 24 The Best Cannot Be Sold At the thought of this, Zhang Feng knew that this item could be sold for a very high price. Hence, he asked the system to see how much he could get. ¡°System, help me estimate the price of this Divine Shrine Immortal Pill,¡± Zhang Feng asked. The system thought for a moment. Perhaps the probability of this Immortal Pill appearing was relatively low, so the system was a little more cautious. ¡°The shopkeeper can consider the price of 80 Essence Stones.¡± It was just a reference. It seemed that there were times when the system did not know either. However, Zhang Feng had just used 200 coins, so he still had extra left for more draws. Hence, he wanted to draw some weapons. Therefore, Zhang Feng immediately said to the system, ¡°Next, I want to draw two times from the excellent weapons pool.¡± He thought of what Ding Dayong had said, that many people were not used to using lighter weapons. There were also some Berserkers who used larger weapons. This time, Zhang Feng was very lucky. He really drew large weapons. The Space Splitting Axe and the Dragon Scale Spear were both considered large weapons. They were both difficult to use, but their power was definitely stronger than light weapons. However, Zhang Feng also noticed some small writing on then, Lowest Level: Warrior Level 30. Heavens, the lowest level required was Level 30! That meant that Zhang Feng, who was only Level 18 now, would not be able to use it. Even if Zhang Feng could use it, he would not because he did not have the strength to wield such a spear. From the color of this equipment, it could be seen that it was a rare-level weapon. Zhang Feng¡¯s luck at the lucky draw was indeed getting better and better. Zhang Feng was already guessing how much this weapon could be sold for. Since it was a rare-level weapon, it definitely couldn¡¯t be too low. At this moment, the system interrupted and said, ¡°This weapon can¡¯t be sold for less than 3,000 Essence Stones. I hope the host doesn¡¯t sell it cheaply!¡± lon After the system interpreted Zhang Feng¡¯s thoughts, it was afraid that Zhang Feng would give a very low price, so it gave him a reminder. Zhang Feng rolled his eyes. ¡°System, can you not read my mind next time and give the host some privacy?¡± The system said, ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that the host will sell the weapons we provide cheaply and incur a loss.¡± Zhang Feng sighed and shook his head. He recalled that Ding Dayong had said that he wanted heavy weapons. He had them now, but the price was 3,000 Essence Stones. Ding Dayong definitely could not afford them. Thinking of this, Zhang Feng temporarily placed the two huge weapons in the warehouse because they really took up too much space. At this moment, the Xia brothers had reached the Glory Training Grounds. As they had completed their trials, they had now returned there to commence their registration, only then would they be considered to have completed the mission. The Glory Training Ground would then give them a badge. ¡°With ten Minotaur nails, trial training is completed.¡± One of the instructors glanced at Xia Xi and Xia He and seemed to be stunned. Xia Xi saw the confusion in this mentor¡¯s eyes, so he tilted his head and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on, Mentor?¡± on ¡°By the way, did you really get this beast essence yourself?¡± This type of beast essence could only be obtained by defeating demon beasts and above. They were just new trainees, so this mentor was a little puzzled. He did not believe that Xia He and Xia Xi could obtain it by themselves. Previously, many mercenaries were hired to help trainees complete their missions. So he thought that they might have mercenaries helping them too? However, this was against the rules, so there were people monitoring it. If such an act was discovered, they would be caught and deprived of their right to enter the training grounds. Xia He was a Level 15 warrior, and Xia Xi was a Level 16 Mage. How could they have defeated the demon beasts? So how did this beast essence come about? Xia Xi seemed to know what he was thinking, so he immediately explained, ¡°We really got this with our abilities. We won¡¯t hire others to help us complete the mission.¡± The mentor nodded. If they had indeed hired mercenaries to help them, their monitors would have noticed. Therefore, this mentor took out an advanced-level freshman badge for Xia He and Xia Xi. This kind of high-level badge had more authority than ordinary badges. ¡°Yes, thank you very much, Mentor!¡± Xia Xi was still very polite. ¡°Is this the legendary advanced-level freshman badge? It¡¯s indeed better looking than ordinary badges. Hahaha, when Ge Yangguang sees it, he will definitely be very envious of us!¡± Xia He was still as talkative as ever as he said with a smile. Although he was talking to himself, the others heard what Xia He said. ¡°Hehe, do you think you¡¯re so great just because you obtained an advanced-level badge? Who knows if you used some despicable means to obtain the beast essence? What¡¯s there to be proud of?¡± The person who said this was a new trainee. Xia He turned around, and gave him a very unhappy look. This new trainee was followed by other lackeys. His level was even higher than Xia He and Xia Xi, already level 19. Although there was not much difference between level 20 and level 19, there was still a difference no matter how small the difference was. CIE They had brought other mission items as well, mainly warrior-level teeth and some fur. Naturally, they were not as high-level as the beast essence that Xia He and Xia Xi had brought, so the badges they earned were ordinary ones. ¡°I was wondering who was talking here. It turns out that they only brought mediocre mission items. They¡¯re mocking us. Since you don¡¯t dare to deal with the demon beasts, can you stop talking about us?¡± Xia He showed a thumbs down. He looked so disdainful that the person was trembling with anger. ¡°What are you talking about! Do you know what level you¡¯re at? Who would believe you if you obtained this beast essence? You must have used other methods to get it!¡± ¡°Besides, it¡¯s not that I doubt you, but no one here will believe that you have the ability to fight demon beasts alone!¡± That person started to speak sarcastically, making Xia He very unhappy. Even Xia Xi stared coldly at the person. Chapter 25 - Bringing In Clients Chapter 25 Bringing In Clients Xia He said, ¡°Sure. If you doubt me, I¡¯ll prove it to you. Let¡¯s have a showdown. What do you think?!¡± Xia He was a hot-blooded person. Seeing that the other party was also 17 or 18 years old and was a boy, he definitely wanted to compete with them. At this moment, Xia Xi was relatively calm. ¡°Xia He, forget it. Don¡¯t cause trouble. We¡¯re only here to increase our strength. If the other party wants to be jealous, let them be jealous.¡± However, when the level 19 freshman saw Xia Xi speak, he raised his eyebrows and revealed a teasing look. ¡°Ah? Are you a little boy or a little girl? You¡¯re really good-looking. You¡¯ll know how powerful I am later.¡± Xia Xi hated it the most when people said that he looked like a girl. Although he was thin and small, when he saw such a wretched boy teasing him, Xia Xi was furious. Xia He stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the level 19 trainee. ¡°What did you say about my brother? If you dare to speak to my brother like that, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson.¡± ¡°Ah? So what? You¡¯re only a Level 15 warrior, and you want to challenge me?!¡± He didn¡¯t tease Xia He like he teased Xia Xi since Xia He was tall and strong, Instead, he gritted his teeth and grabbed Xia He¡¯s hand, competing with him. The level 19 freshman also started mocking them. ¡°I can¡¯t believe that you dare to be so confident. There¡¯s a difference of three levels. Don¡¯t you know that you¡¯ve already lost in terms of basic strength?¡± Everyone knew this. Although the difference was not great, it did not mean that it did not exist. Xia Xi had also considered this. Moreover, they had just entered the Glory Training Grounds and he naturally did not want his brother to cause trouble. ¡°Xia He, forget it. Let¡¯s leave.¡± Xia Xi pulled his brother back and prepared to leave with him. Unexpectedly, the Level 19 scoffed and said, ¡°If you had just admitted defeat earlier, wouldn¡¯t everything have been fine long ago? You hired mercenaries to help you deal with the demon beasts, right? Are all the rich people nowadays so despicable?¡± Initially, Xia Xi wanted to just let it go in order to keep the peace, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He stopped in his tracks. ¡°I¡¯ll say it again. We killed it ourselves. I hope you won¡¯t slander us!¡± At that time, it was so dangerous for them to deal with the Purple-Spotted Hyena. They almost lost their lives. Without Zhang Feng¡¯s Immortal Pills, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to defeat it. The beast essence that was not easy to obtain, and now they were being wrongly accused. Xia Xi finally could not hold it in anymore. ¡°Alright, since you want to compare, right? Then let¡¯s have a good competition and compete openly. This way, you¡¯ll know that we didn¡¯t rely on luck or the power of our family to enter this Glory Training Grounds!¡± Although this type of beast essence could indeed be bought with money, and the Xia family also had the money to buy beast essence for them, Xia Xi had his own pride. ¡°Then be prepared, don¡¯t cry if you lose too badly later!¡± The leading boy smiled, then dug out his weapon and aimed it at Xia He. The two of them came to an empty place. Xia He faced this man. This man was a little higher in level than him, but don¡¯t forget that Xia He had exchanged for a new weapon from Zhang Feng. This weapon was stronger than his previous weapon. ¡°Wind-Stepping Slash!¡± Combat energy surged up in the boy¡¯s body, and then a faint blue light appeared, increasing in speed quickly and rushed towards Xia He. Xia He took out his weapon and blocked it. ¡°Tornado Blade!¡± It was just one swish, Xia He¡¯s eyes focused as he spun his weapon and threw it at the other party¡¯s sword. There was a crisp sound and the flying sword pierced into the grass. The Level 19 man¡¯s sword flew away, and Xia He¡¯s weapon appeared in front of his neck, pointing at his throat. For a moment, the man was in disbelief. ¡°How is that possible? How did your sword break mine?!¡± Even if his weapon did not break, his attack was still not as powerful as Xia He¡¯s. How was that possible? He was level 19, but Xia He was only level 15. There should not be such a gap between them! ¡°How is it? Just one move and your weapon is already damaged. So, do you want to fight me empty-handed now?¡± Xia He retracted his weapon and thought to himself that the weapon Zhang Feng gave him had really made him proud. The others were all dumbfounded. They had originally thought that they would mock Xia He after he lost, but now, they could not bring themselves to do so. Even if this boy really defeated Xia He, he did not dare to be too arrogant. Although Xia He was from far away, he was still famous around here, let alone now that Xia He had won. All of them did not dare to make a sound and simply stayed quiet. The person who was defeated by Xia He also put his hands down. ¡°Forget it, I admit defeat. My name is Chi Yongqiu. Your name is Xia He, right?¡± Xia He was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the other party to admit defeat. He thought that this was an arrogant person, but since the other party was so polite, Xia He didn¡¯t feel good to continue being arrogant. ¡°Yes, my name is Xia He.¡± Chi Yongqiu suddenly cupped his fists. ¡°Your weapon is really powerful. Which master did you ask to forge it?¡± Xia He thought of Zhang Feng in Zhiyue City and wanted to introduce some customers to him. Hence, he said, ¡°We bought this from a shop when we were training in Zhiyue City.¡± ¡°Which shop in Zhiyue City?¡± Chi Yongqiu continued to ask, because there were many shops in the city. Xia He felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, ¡°That shop is quite remote. It¡¯s at the border of Zhiyue City, but if you have the chance to go there, you can ask around. The owner of that shop is called Zhang Feng.¡± As the Glory Training Grounds was still recruiting students, many people came to Zhiyue City to train. But that did not seem to bring much business to Zhang Feng¡¯s shop. Luckily, Zhang Feng had left some coins for his living expenses after he used the rest to stock up. Otherwise, he would really starve to death. Chapter 26 - Come and Compete Chapter 26 Come and Compete ¡°Boss, Boss, have you brought in any new goods?¡± Two days later, a familiar voice came from outside Zhang Feng¡¯s shop. Ge Yangguang led his four companions into the shop. Looking at their bodies, there were still some wounds and blood stains. Zhang Feng guessed that they should have come out of the Forest of the Moon Falls. ¡°Of course I do. See for yourself if you need anything. Ask me if you don¡¯t understand.¡± Seeing that it was a repeat customer, Zhang Feng could save some energy. ¡°Shop owner, I¡¯m a customer after all. Can¡¯t you be more enthusiastic??¡± Ge Yangguang said helplessly. In the past, when he went to those shops, which one of them did not treat him with respect? But why is it so different here? However, Ge Yangguang had no choice. After all, only this place had these magical Immortal Pills. Even a disciple like Ge Yangguang had never heard of Immortal Pills in this world before coming to this misty city. Seeing that Zhang Feng did not reply, Ge Yangguang did not say anything. After all, the items in the shop were rare commodities. Perhaps this was the boss¡¯s wayward personality? ¡°By the way, shop owner, why is there only one bottle of this Immortal Pill? What¡¯s the use of it?¡± Ge Yangguang went to the cupboard to look at the Immortal Pill. Now that there were more types of Immortal Pills, Zhang Feng specially got the system to print the names of these Immortal Pills on the porcelain bottles. Otherwise, just by looking at the appearance of the porcelain bottle, even Zhang Feng sometimes could not tell what kind of pill it was. ¡°The Refine Immortal Pill is naturally used to strengthen one¡¯s constitution,¡± Zhang Feng explained slowly. ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s for the constitution. That¡¯s not even as good as the Invigorate Immortal Pill.¡± Ge Yangguang thought that it was just another Immortal Pill with similar effects to the Healing Immortal Pill. ¡°Tsk, you¡¯re even selling it for a hundred Essence Stones. Shop owner, why don¡¯t you just go and rob the money? It¡¯s so expensive.¡± Ge Yangguang clicked his tongue in disdain. Then, he decisively put the Refine Immortal Pills back into the cupboard. ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s keep more Essence Stones and look at the other Immortal Pills.¡± When the other four heard Zhang Feng¡¯s words, they also looked elsewhere. ¡°One Refine Immortal Pill can probably permanently increase one¡¯s constitution by five levels,¡± Zhang Feng added slowly. There was no detailed explanation on the Refine Immortal Pill because on the bottle, it just stated on it a small amount of constitution. What did this mean? However, after Zhang Feng verified it with the system, he realized that a constitution of five levels was equivalent to an ordinary person¡¯s personal attributes after advancing five levels. This meant that if one¡¯s original level was 15. After using it, one would still be at level 15, but one¡¯s basic attributes would be at level 20. In this world, each time one leveled up, the various attributes that would be strengthened were fixed. Only when one entered the training space and underwent training would they have a chance to obtain a new allocation. This way, he would have the chance to strengthen his attributes and obtain the mark. However, this Refine Immortal Pill was enough to directly increase his constitution by five levels. There was only one Refine Immortal Pill. The four people beside the cabinet instantly knew how powerful this thing was. The higher the level, the harder it was to level up. However, this was a permanent increase of five levels. Therefore, Ge Yangguang¡¯s group immediately all tensed up. ¡°Ahem, as the captain of this team, I think that you should let me have this Refine Immortal Pill.¡± Ge Yangguang did not hesitate to forget his previous disdain and glared at the others. So what if they were friends? This thing was too precious to give it up to them. ¡°Is that so? But who was the one who picked up the Refine Immortal Pill and put it back just now? Since you don¡¯t want this Immortal Pill, why are you still fighting for it now?¡± Another man beside him immediately came out to undermine Ge Yangguang. ¡°That¡¯s right. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you¡¯re the captain? Besides, we¡¯re just a temporary new trainee team. Do you really think you¡¯re so great?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. I¡¯m determined to get this Refine Immortal Pill. I hope everyone will give me some deference.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you some face. Who was hiding behind me in the Forest of the Moon Falls? This Refine Immortal Pill won¡¯t make much of a difference for you, right?¡± ¡°Ah? Well, now that you mention it, we have to decide who¡¯s better.¡± The four companions who had walked out of the life-and-death test in the Forest of the Moon Falls did not hesitate to now undermine each other for an Immortal Pill. ¡°Fighting is forbidden in my shop. Those who do not listen will be blacklisted.¡± Zhang Feng sat steadily behind the counter and reminded them. The tense scene froze. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll bid 100 Essence Stones for this Immortal Pill.¡± Ge Yangguang took out his money bag and displayed his wealth. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re the only rich one? Who doesn¡¯t have money? We relied on the Immortal Pills in the shop owner¡¯s shop to kill a few warrior-level demon beasts. Don¡¯t you know that?¡± Of course, the other man was not to be outdone. He also took out his money bag. They all knew that the Immortal Pills in Zhang Feng¡¯s shop were very valuable, so before coming, they specially sold off a few beast essences. ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m offering 110 Essence Stones, so give me this Refine Immortal Pills.¡± ¡°You think that¡¯s a lot? A hundred and twenty Essence Stones!¡± The man quickly continued to shout the price out. However, when Zhang Feng saw that this scene was about to become an auction, he was secretly overjoyed. This additional income should be able to be used as additional money. This money shouldn¡¯t need to be split with the system, right? However, at this moment, the system said, ¡°Host, please put away your thoughts. At your current level, you can¡¯t set your own price for now. This kind of excellent-grade Immortal Pill can only be sold for 100 Essence Stones. No bidding allowed. Do you understand?¡± ¡°I¡­ d*mn!¡± Disappointed, Zhang Feng almost vomited blood. ¡°By the way, boss, who do you want to sell this Refine Immortal Pill to?¡± Now, all the five people present took out their money bags and looked at Zhang Feng. They had fought about it without any results, so they might as well let Zhang Feng decide. Or rather, whoever had the higher price would own it. Chapter 27 - Dont Miss It son Chapter 27 Don¡¯t Miss It son ¡°There¡¯s no point in you asking me. This isn¡¯t some shady shop. Since I said I only wanted a hundred Essence Stones, it¡¯s just a hundred Essence Stones. Anyway, I won¡¯t charge you more Essence Stones.¡± As Zhang Feng said this, his heart was actually bleeding. Why couldn¡¯t he earn more? Was this system stupid? Could it not be so principled? ¡°When did the owner become so principled?¡± Ge Yangguang¡¯s eyes widened as he looked at the other four in shock. The four of them looked at each other. If the effects of Refining Immortal Pills were not exaggerated, 100 Essence Stones was considered cheap. Not to mention 100 Essence Stones, even if it was 200 Essence Stones, Ge Yangguang and the others would still pay. This kind of Immortal Pill that could permanently increase attributes was definitely only available in Zhang Feng¡¯s shop. If you missed it, you probably would never have the chance again. ¡°Besides, there¡¯s no need for you to fight. It¡¯s not like there¡¯s only one such Immortal Pill.¡± Zhang Feng¡¯s slow words made Ge Yangguang and the others¡¯ hearts pound. There were actually more of such Immortal Pills that could permanently increase attributes! ¡°Brothers, how about letting me have this Immortal Pill first?¡± Ge Yangguang swallowed nervously as he asked the other four. ¡°Sure. Anyway, there¡¯s still more training time left, we can continue to hunt wild beasts in the Forest of the Moon Falls.¡± The four of them looked at each other and nodded begrudgingly. ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Ge Yangguang immediately took the Refine Immortal Pill and placed a hundred Essence Stones in Zhang Feng¡¯s hand. He did it so fast as if he was afraid that Zhang Feng would go back on his word. ¡°From what you said, you still want to continue hunting wild beasts in the Forest of the Moon Falls?¡± Zhang Feng asked after he put the Essence Stones away into the counter. ¡°Of course. Otherwise, how could outstanding freshmen like us produce superior results?¡± Ge Yangguang answered Zhang Feng. ¡°Then I suggest that you guys take a look at the weapons in the other cabinet. These weapons might be useful to you.¡± Zhang Feng said thinking of the fact that he hadn¡¯t sold any weapons yet. This was because Zhang Feng realized that these people seemed to be so confident in their weapons. Therefore, everyone who came to the shop looked at Zhang Feng¡¯s Immortal Pills first. ¡°Ah? You mean a weapon?¡± Ge Yanguang looked down at the knife at his waist. It was indeed somewhat damaged. Originally, this group of people had planned to go to the weapons shop to change their weapons after buying the Immortal Pills. Then, they would continue to hunt wild beasts in the Forest of the Moon Falls to earn more money and to improve their abilities. Warrior-class beasts had teeth, bones, and even horns on their bodies that were rotten to a certain extent and were especially hard, so there were usually some damage to the weapons. Even the weapons they had found masters to forge were more or less damaged by these frequent and intense usage. ¡°Well, since the boss recommended it, let us take a look. Out of trust in Zhang Feng¡¯s Immortal Pill, Ge Yangguang did not mind looking at the weapon Zhang Feng recommended. ¡°These are all ten Essence Stones per weapon. They don¡¯t seem too expensive.¡± Ge Yangguang carefully observed the weapons on the cabinet. There were long sabers, short swords, and even magic staffs. To be honest, Zhang Feng¡¯s shop was becoming more and more comprehensive. He had everything. It usually also cost a few to more than 10 Essence Stones to hire forging masters to forge weapons for them. Therefore, the weapons that Zhang Feng was selling now did not seem like he was overcharging at all. The price on it was ten Essence Stones, so it was quite an average price. ¡°But the one you¡¯re holding costs 200 Essence Stones,¡± Zhang Feng suddenly reminded. Just as Ge Yangguang was about to reach out and take down a long sword, his outstretched hand suddenly froze. ¡°Wait, what did you say just now? 200 Essence Stones? Boss, are you going back to your old profession and preparing to do what you used to do?¡± ¡°What?¡± Zhang Feng placed his hands on the counter and narrowed his eyes expressionlessly. ¡°Of course it¡¯s to be a shady shop.¡± Ge Yangguang¡¯s tone was a little different. It was just a mere weapon, but Zhang Feng had actually wanted to sell it for 200 Essence Stones. Usually only those very powerful and exceptional staffs could be sold at such a price. Those powerful staffs were all rare treasures, and one needed to have powerful magic to control those staffs. Although it is said that a weapon chooses its owner, if the owner was too weak, he would still be overpowered by this weapon. ¡°Just try it and you¡¯ll know.¡± Zhang Feng spread out his hands and gestured for Ge Yangguang to take down the weapon he liked. The cabinet arranged by the system was no longer just used to place goods. There was a more important point, which was to seal the items on it so that no one could steal them. Sealing the effects of the Immortal Pills were important as the Immortal Pills were small, and hence very easy for people to steal them. Sealing the power of the weapons prevents them from being stolen from the cabinet. One thing was that be it Immortal Pills or weapons, they would seal some of the ability and maintain a certain durability. Otherwise, with the thin barrier of the Dragon Scale Whip Axe that Zhang Feng had drawn previously, many people would not dare to enter his shop. ¡°Ah? Boss, you won¡¯t force me to buy it, right?¡± Ge Yangguang looked at Zhang Feng suspiciously. However, after listening to Zhang Feng¡¯s words, he took down the Horse-Leveling Sword that he had taken a fancy to. As soon as he held the Horse-Leveling Sword in his hand, Ge Yangguang instantly felt a burning aura pass from the hilt to his hand, yet it was surprisingly not hot. ¡°What, what is this feeling?¡± Ge Yangguang had never tried anything like this before, so now he was shocked. He looked at the sword in his hand in amazement. This hot aura seemed to have the feeling of fire magic. However, if you were to feel it very closely, it was also not really like that. In Ge Yangguang¡¯s heart however, it was as if he could sense a piece of information in his heart, which was the effect of this Horse-Leveling Sword. ¡°This is a Horse-Leveling Sword with a fire effect. So how do you feel?¡± Chapter 28 - Empty Chapter 28 Empty Zhang Feng slowly explained the ability of this weapon. His tone was calm, as if he did not consider this weapon to be very rare. In fact, this weapon was not very rare. He also had other rarer equipment, but with number of the Essence Stones he had now, Ge Yangguang definitely could not afford to buy it. At this moment, Ge Yangguang wanted to try out the power of the sword, so with a whoosh in the air, Ge Yangguang suddenly pulled the sword out from its sheath. The Horse-Leveling Sword slashed through the air. The air around became hot and there was a faint light. The temperature of the air in the shop suddenly rose the moment the sword was unsheathed. ¡°Oh yes, it¡¯s a good weapon!¡± Ge Yanguang¡¯s gaze was completely drawn to the Horse-Leveling Sword in his hand. He realized that the weapons he had used before were trash compared to this sword. No, it was worse than trash. It would take at least the whole essence of a fire element beast to forge this breakthrough beauty, right? However, this technique of using beast essence to enchant weapons had long been lost. No weapon enchanter had been found since probably more than a thousand years ago. After all, this was using beast essence to forge weapons and not to forge a staff. When a mage used a staff, he could use his own magic. The magic he emitted consumed his own power to increase the power of his magic ability. However, the weapon used by warriors was completely based on battle aura. There was no way to use the magic power to eliminate beasts. Therefore, using beast essence to forge weapons was more about enhancing the various functions of the weapon or imitating a staff, and only used to store magic. But doing so was basically a losing proposition: the losses outweighed the benefits. However, the weapons sold by Zhang Feng could actually use the magic power. After activating them, they could also be attached to the weapons. This was simply unheard of. In fact, it was even more incredible than the rumored enchantment of a weapon. This was equivalent to not storing the magic condensed by a mage in a magic bead but carrying it on a weapon instead, and ensuring that the magic would not fail. This was completely contrary to the theory of magic. Zhang Feng¡¯s shop always seem to break the rules and give people surprises. However, the price of 200 Essence Stones was really too expensive. After buying the Refine Immortal Pill, it was obvious that Ge Yangguang did not have so many Essence Stones anymore. However, he still had to say that the price of 200 Essence Stones for the weapon was definitely worth it! ¡°Speaking of which, brothers, do you have¡­¡± When Ge Yangguang turned around, he was about to borrow some Essence Stones from the other four people to buy this Horse-Leveling Sword. But when he turned around, he saw all the four guys staring straight at the weapon in his hand. After taking the sword down from the cupboard, the aura it emitted had long attracted the attention of the four men. To them, this incredible weapon could only be described as shocking now. ¡°Speaking of my four brothers?¡± Ge Yangguang waved his hand in front of their eyes. ¡°Of course we¡¯re buying it!¡± the four of them said in unison. He could already see the fire burning in their eyes. The meaning in their gazes was to go to the Forest of the Moon Falls to hunt wild beasts, then earn Essence Stones, and then come to this shop to buy this weapon. They believed that this Horse-Leveling Sword was the first, but definitely not the last such top-grade weapon! Therefore, when these people said the word ¡°buy¡±, Ge Yangguang¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. The four of them gathered all the Essence Stones on their bodies and took off their own weapons. Because they still had quite a number of Essence Stones on them, they lent Ge Yangguang some. Ge Yangguang bought the Horse-Leveling Sword. The others bought long sabers and swords. These equipment were much better than their old weapons. Now, Zhang Feng had earned a total of 270 Essence Stones. This was because they really did not have enough money to buy a second excellent weapon. Otherwise, they would have definitely bought the other weapon. ¡°Haha, thank you for your patronage. You¡¯re welcome to visit me again next time.¡± Zhang Feng put away all the Essence Stones into the counter. After obtaining so many Essence Stones this time, he still had to deduct the system¡¯s share. Now, he was left with more than 10 Essence Stones and 70 coins. ¡°Looking at them, I should bring in more weapons.¡± Zhang Feng stroked his beard. Currently, he could only obtain weapons and immortal pills for the shop. However, there were only ordinary Immortal Pills for the time being. There were too few excellent-grade Immortal Pills. It was not a good idea to rely on ten consecutive draws to obtain excellent-grade pills. However, as he was thinking, an interesting question came to Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng seemed to be talking to himself as he said, ¡°I remember that I can obtain a higher-level item after ten consecutive draws.¡± ¡°But the draw fee for the superior weapon pool is fifty times more expensive than the ordinary weapon pool.¡± ¡°In other words, I can continue to draw from the ordinary weapon pool.¡± However, at such a time, there would always be a voice to discourage Zhang Feng. The system said, ¡°Host, the draw fee for the ordinary pool is just the novice benefits given to you by the system. After the novice period ends, it will return to normal rate.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Zhang Feng was already used to the system¡¯s sudden words. The system said, ¡°Ordinary-grade pool. Normal cost. Draw once for ten coins.¡± Zhang Feng was really speechless. ¡°¡­I knew it. How could he leave such a big loophole for me?¡± Zhang Feng felt that the system seemed to have become smarter. Then, he started to laugh awkwardly. Perhaps Zhang Feng had more or less guessed the reason. It was because the he commision percentage of a Level 1 Manager was too tragic, the system gave him a newbie benefit. More importantly, even if ordinary weapons were much stronger than those forged by forging masters, they did not actually have very powerful effects. However, superior-grade weapons were different. They could surprise others at any moment. ¡°Forget it. Charge me fifty coins first. I want fifty draws in a row. All of them from the ordinary weapons pools.¡± Since it was the benefit of being a newbie, it would be a waste not to enjoy it. There would be no such good thing after he reached a higher level. Chapter 29 - More and More Customers Chapter 29 More and More Customers The system said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a friendly reminder at the same time. The warehouse¡¯s capacity is limited now. Please be mindful of that.¡± ¡°Ah, this¡­¡± Zhang Feng endured the frustration that came out of his chest and said,¡± Then let¡¯s draw 20 in a row first.¡± This time the system didn¡¯t say another word. Other than the ordinary class weapons, there were excellent class weapons as well this time. Howling Wind Sword, Scorching Sun Saber. Zhang Feng started talking to himself again, but in fact, he was still asking the system, ¡°These two Howling Wind Swords are almost rare weapons, right?¡± Zhang Feng looked at the passive skills attached to this weapon and was more or less surprised. With the addition of those ordinary weapons that were placed in the cabinet, the entire cabinet was basically full. Zhang Feng also made up his mind not to bring in more weapons for the time being. After all, not many people came here to buy his weapons. As a store manager, the key was to sell the goods. Otherwise, the novice benefit would also be useless. Just as Zhang Feng placed the last weapon in the cupboard, a man suddenly came outside the shop, looking as if he was searching for something When he saw Zhang Feng¡¯s brand-new shop, the man hesitated for a moment before pushing open the door and walking in. ¡°Is the forging master of Cloud Mist City in this shop?¡± the man who came in asked. ¡°What?¡± Zhang Feng was confused. He knew what this man meant. Could it be that his shop looked like a blacksmith¡¯s shop? Why did this man come to his shop to look for a forging master? Zhang Feng thought for a moment and replied, ¡°I¡¯m the manager of this shop. If you¡¯re looking for a forging master, there¡¯s none here.¡± ¡°Manager? Manager is good too.¡± The man was stunned for a moment. He confirmed the information in his mind before nodding. ¡°Hello, manager. My name is Chi Yongqiu. Xia He introduced me to your shop.¡± Chi Yongqiu didn¡¯t understand why Xia He had repeatedly emphasized to say that he was the one who had introduced him to the shop. But he complied anyway. ¡°Xia He¡­ Oh, those two brothers? What do you need?¡± Zhang Feng thought for a while before remembering who it was. ¡°I need weapons! Powerful weapons!¡± Chi Yongqiu said firmly. He firmly believed that he had lost to Xia He because of the weapon. He never felt that it was because his martial arts capability was not strong. ¡°The weapons are over there. Look for yourself.¡± Zhang Feng pointed at the cabinet where the weapons were placed. Chi Yongqiu immediately headed for the cupboard. ¡°200 Essence Stones!¡± Although Xia He had already told him that the weapons in this shop were very expensive, Chi Yongqiu had never thought that it could be that expensive. 200 Essence Stones were enough for him to cultivate for an entire semester. ¡°Manager, don¡¯t you think your weapons are too expensive?¡± Chi Yongqiu couldn¡¯t help saying. ¡°Even if I looked for famous forging masters to customize a weapon for me, it would only cost twenty Essence Stones. The weapons in your shop are actually ten times more expensive!¡± ¡°My goods have always been worth it.¡± Zhang Feng glanced at Chi Yongqiu and said slowly. ¡°Worth it? What kind of sword is worth 200 Essence Stones?¡± Chi Yongqiu looked disdainful. Then he looked around the cupboard until he saw the Dragon Scale Whip Axe. His eyes widened in shock. ¡°Three thousand¡­ This store manager has indeed gone crazy.¡± Chi Yongqiu shook his head. He no longer wanted to reason with Zhang Feng. He silently took a sharp sword from the cupboard. ¡°Thank you, that one is only 10 Essence Stones.¡± Zhang Feng glanced at the sword in Chi Yongqiu¡¯s hand and said. Chi Yongqiu carefully examined the sword in his hand. He could sense that this was the sword Xia He had used back then. ¡°10 Essence Stones for this sword is worth the price,¡± Chi Yongqiu said, nodding in satisfaction. He replaced his original sword and clipped the new sword to his belt. ¡°Boss, I¡¯m here again.¡± Just as Chi Yongqiu was admiring his new weapon, a very loud voice came from outside the door. Ding Dayong came in from outside the shop, laughing. From the look on Ding¡¯s face, he must have gained something in the Forest of the Moon Falls. ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re here. By the way, I have a weapon for you now,¡± Zhang Feng looked up and said calmly. ¡°Is that so? Boss is so considerate, you still remember that I want heavy weapons.¡± Ding Dayong rubbed his hands together, as he walked to the cupboard where the weapons were placed There was only one heavy weapon at the moment. ¡°Damn, it actually costs 3000 Essence Stones! Owner, you really think highly of me.¡± Ding Dayong glanced at the price of the Dragon Scale Whip Axe and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He finally restrained himself and smiled bitterly. ¡°Do you think so, too? The store manager must have gone crazy for Essence Stones. What kind of weapon is worth 3000 Essence Stones?¡± As soon as Chi Yongqiu heard someone sharing his opinion, he immediately echoed it. It was common knowledge that staffs were more expensive than weapons because they could be used for a long time, and strengthening the power of magic did not deplete the staff¡¯s durability. Magicians changed their staffs more often because they had better ones to choose from, not because they couldn¡¯t use their own. But what about melee weapons like theirs? If they were in battle all the time, their losses would be ridiculous. If an Immortal Pill was a one-time consumable, then the weapons in their hands would be considered multiple-time consumables. Spending 3000 Essence Stones on a weapon was too extravagant. ¡°Actually, you can take it out and take a look. If it¡¯s really good, you won¡¯t doubt such a price.¡± Zhang Feng had a soft spot for Ding Dayong. This was because when Silver Tiger came to cause trouble, Ding Dayong helped him without hesitation. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give it a try.¡± Ding Dayong did not argue. He immediately reached out and took the Dragon Scale Whip Axe from the cupboard. The cupboard¡¯s seal on the Dragon Scale Whip Axe vanished. A deafening dragon¡¯s roar suddenly emanated from the Dragon Scale Whip Axe and filled the space between the shops. It was as if a dragon¡¯s roar had instantly appeared in the shop. There was a strong pressure in the ears that almost made Ding Dayong throw away the Dragon Scale Whip Axe. Chapter 30 - Just Ask If Youre Good Enough Chapter 30 Just Ask If You¡¯re Good Enough After leaving the cupboard, patterns continuously appeared on the originally simple and unadorned axe, quickly forming dragon scales. It looked extremely dignified and domineering. ¡°This! This is actually a Dragon Roar barrier. What material did you use to forge this huge axe?¡± Ding Dayong¡¯s hands trembled as he held the Dragon Scale Whip Axe. Chi Yongqiu, the Level 30 warrior, who was standing at the side, felt his body go weak just by standing in the vicinity of the Dragon Roar. Not to mention holding this weapon, just looking at it was already extremely strenuous. No wonder the system limited a minimum level to use this weapon, Zhang Feng thought to himself as he looked at the Dragon Scale Whip Axe. The goods produced by the system had no restrictions on Zhang Feng. Just like the Dragon Scale Whip Axe¡¯s Dragon Roar barrier, it would not pressure Zhang Feng. However, it was different for others. At the very least, this Warrior level was the lowest usage limit of the Dragon Scale Whip Axe. ¡°It¡¯s just a huge axe, but it can actually carry the barrier of a dragon¡¯s roar. No wonder it¡¯s being sold for 3,000 Essence Stones.¡± Ding Dayong stared at the huge axe in his hand, his eyes filled with extreme desire because he really wanted to obtain this weapon. However, this price was really too expensive. Although it was very worth it, Chi Yongqiu, who was standing at the side, was even more shocked. He looked at the weapon and had the same thoughts. Could it be that what Zhang Feng said was not just empty talk? Was it really worth this price? With this in mind, Chi Yongqiu quickly reached out and took down the sharp sword he had seen from the cupboard. An unknown power suddenly appeared and began to surge into Chi Yongqiu¡¯s body from the knight¡¯s sword. own Chi Yongqiu could clearly feel the unknown power in his body instantly increase his defense. With the augmentation of this power, Chi Yongqiu was confident that he could withstand a warrior-level beast without being injured. ¡°Ah? How could this be?!¡± Now, Chi Yongqiu felt that everything he had seen and learned in the past decade had been overturned. However, the truth was right in front of him, and he could not help but believe it. Chi Yongqiu suddenly thought of his previous words. Now, he could immediately feel his face burning, and just wanted to find a hole to hide in. How shameless were his words just now? He was clearly ignorant like a frog looking at the sky from the bottom of a well, but he said that the shop owner was crazy about Essence Stones. ¡°Boss, although I really want this weapon, I really don¡¯t have so many Essence Stones.¡± Ding Dayong smacked his lips twice before reluctantly putting the Dragon Scale Whip Axe back into the cupboard. Ding Dayong¡¯s words also woke Chi Yongqiu up. With this Sharp Sword, I can hunt wild beasts in the Forest of Moon Falls, Chi thought suddenly. Then he immediately walked to the counter and pulled his mirror out of his pocket. This was already his last 200 Essence Stones. Chi Yongqiu had only brought so many Essence Stones with him when he came to Brilliant Academy this time, but now he was going to give them all to Zhang Feng¡¯s shop. ¡°By the way, Manager, do you think this Sealing Sword can?¡± Chi Yongqiu asked Zhang Feng carefully. Zhang Feng slowly put the 200 Essence Stones into the counter, then glanced at Chi Yongqiu and said, ¡°As long as it¡¯s a product sold, there¡¯s no refund.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chi Yong Qiu was momentarily stunned. ¡°You can¡¯t return the previous Knight¡¯s Sword.¡± Zhang Feng paused and explained. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I will be using them in turn,¡± Chi Yong Qiu said through gritted teeth as he placed both swords on his hips. ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s good. Thank you for your patronage. I look forward to your next visit,¡± Zhang Feng said slowly as he watched Chi Yongqiu walk out of the shop. ¡°By the way, Boss, do you have any other heavier weapons here?¡± Ding Dayong patted the huge axe on his back. There were already many nicks in his own heavy weapon. If this continued, he would not be able to fight the beasts. ¡°I don¡¯t think there are any other big axes. I do have a big sword, but I wonder if you¡¯re used to using a big sword.¡± Zhang Feng also remembered that he had drawn a Howling Wind Sword previously. The body of the sword should be more than a meter long, so Zhang Feng recommended it to Ding Dayong. The Howling Wind Sword was a huge sword-type weapon. When necessary, it could even be used as a shield. How arrogant was that? This was a weapon that combined attack and defense. Ordinary people could not pick it up, but Ding Dayong was different. Although its offensive ability was not as powerful as the giant axe, that kind of giant axe was purely an offensive weapon. In terms of weight, the Howling Wind Sword was indeed on the same level as the huge axe that Ding Dayong was carrying. ¡®Actually, a big sword would do as well. I might not be as used to it as my axe, but I think it¡¯s fine as long as I can control it.¡¯ Ding Dayong nodded. For a warrior of Ding Dayong¡¯s strength type, the weight of the weapon was definitely one of the important conditions to consider. Then, following Zhang Feng¡¯s direction, Ding Dayong took the Howling Wind Sword from the cabinet. He felt a manic aura instantly burst out from the sword. It was like igniting the blood in Ding Dayong¡¯s body, making him surge with endless fighting spirit. ¡°This is indeed a good sword. Just by holding it in my hand, I can feel that this big sword is very suitable for me.¡± Ding Dayong looked at the Howling Wind Sword in surprise. Instantly, his chest began to surge with blood, and the blood in his body began to boil. ¡°Yes, yes. Then for this Howling Wind Sword, I gratefully accept your 200 Essence Stones.¡± Zhang Feng slowly extended his hand to Ding Dayong. ¡°Sure, sure! No problem!¡± Ding Dayong was very straightforward. Then, he cheered and took out 250 Essence Stones for Zhang Feng. ¡°By the way, I also want to buy some Immortal Pills. In the past few days, there have been more and more demon beasts in the Forest of the Moon Falls. I have a little savings now, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t dare to spend so extravagantly, hahaha.¡± Chapter 31 - Ready Chapter 31 Ready Ding Dayong carried the Howling Wind Sword on his back and went to the other cabinet to choose some ordinary Immortal Pills. ¡°Boss, you collect beast essence here, right?¡± Ding Dayong suddenly remembered what Zhang Feng had once said to him. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m accepting it. It¡¯s just that it can be used as collateral for Essence Stones. An ordinary beast essence is equivalent to a hundred Essence Stones.¡± Zhang Feng did not have so many Essence Stones for him now, but he could still use beast essence to exchange for equivalent weapons or Immortal Pills. Therefore, Zhang Feng explained this matter to Ding Dayong seriously. After some thought, he realized that the system was really stingy. It would definitely not spit out the Essence Stones it had taken from him to trade. In the end, Zhang Feng would still be the one at a disadvantage. ¡°Pretty much.¡± Ding Dayong smiled, then put away the Immortal Pills and left. ¡°There are more and more Warrior-level demon beasts in the Forest of the Moon Falls. It seems that something is going to happen.¡± Zhang Feng looked in the direction of Zhiyue City. There was a continuous stretch of forest there, which was the Forest of the Moon Falls. This time, the abnormal movements of the demonic beasts in the Forest of the Moon Falls had already alarmed the Guardian Soldier Guild and the managers of Zhiyue City. Forest of the Moon Falls was famous for producing low-level demon beasts. In the periphery of the forest, there were basically demon beasts below level 20. Even warrior-level demon beasts were rare. Many powerful guardian soldiers would go deep into the forest to hunt. However, recently, many Warrior-level demon beasts had appeared in the periphery of the Forest of the Moon Falls. According to some of the guardian soldiers who had luckily escaped, high-level demon beasts had already begun to appear in the depths of the Forest of the Moon Falls. Moreover, they seemed to be moving towards the periphery of the forest. Therefore, the managers of Zhiyue City and the Guardian Soldier Guild issued a mission regarding the abnormal movements of the demon beasts. The high bounty and Guardian Soldier points attracted a large number of Guardian Soldiers. However, the bloody lesson also made many of the weaker Guardian Soldiers realize that it was very dangerous to carry out the abnormal demon beast movement mission. A defending team was gradually entering the depths of the forest from the edge of the Forest of the Moon Falls. There were only seven people in this Guardian Soldier team, and they were all girls. The leader was a beautiful guard called Ye Lan. The seven of them were very famous in Zhiyue City. They were jokingly known as the Seven Stars of Beauty by the other Guardian Troops of the Guardian Guild. But this was definitely not mocking them. It was a recognition of their strength. A girl holding a staff laying on the grass asked Ye Lan, ¡°Sister Lan, why is the payment for the Guardian Soldiers so high for this demon beast abnormal movement mission?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very simple, because this operation is very dangerous.¡± Before Ye Lan could speak, another long-haired girl answered first. ¡°Xue Fei¡¯s right. The Guardian Soldier Guild will never give us something advantageous,¡± echoed the hidden Jiu You. ¡°Now don¡¯t talk. We mustn¡¯t alert the enemy.¡± Ye Lan lowered herself to the grass and peered into the forest ahead. The girl stuck out her tongue. However, at this moment, a strong girl jumped down from the tree and put away the arrow in her hand. ¡°Chu Chu, did you find anything?¡± Ye Lan asked. ¡°We haven¡¯t discovered any demon beasts for the time being. We can continue forward.¡± Lan Chu slung the longbow over her shoulder. ¡°Call those two things over.¡± Ye Lan nodded, and the hidden Jiu You went silently to the back. In a moment, a girl in heavy armor with a tower shield on her back and a Luo Li clutching a staff came from the rear. ¡°Is it time to eat?¡± the girl, Zhi Luolan, asked. ¡°Or have you already discovered the demon beasts?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s continue forward,¡± Ye Lan said with a frown. Her team¡¯s strength was famous in the entire Zhiyue City. The strength of the team members was definitely guaranteed, but it was just that they were not very reliable when it came to doing things. There were many such Guardian Soldier teams in the Forest of Moon Falls. Moreover, they were all top soldier teams in Zhiyue City. The system said, ¡°Congratulations, store manager. The Level Up mission has been activated.¡± The voice that suddenly appeared in his mind interrupted Zhang Feng¡¯s gaze, causing him to retract his gaze from outside the door. Level up?! Now, Zhang Feng was excited at the mention of leveling up. What did leveling up mean? Leveling up meant that he would have more commission and more ways to bring in goods. There might even be more shops and buildings. ¡°System, just be direct. What¡¯s the Level Up mission this time?¡± Zhang Feng raised his head and puffed out his chest, as if he was about to receive a baptism of light. The system said, ¡°Level Up mission has been generated. Mission Requirement: Since you¡¯re the owner, you definitely can¡¯t be a useless piece of trash.¡± What kind of mission was this? When Zhang Feng heard this name, he almost cursed out loud. Fortunately, he held it in in time. Otherwise, the system would not just refuse to upgrade him, but torture him as well. The system said, ¡°Mission content: Please pass the trial space¡¯s test and obtain the battle mark. Go to the Forest of the Moon Falls and collect enough materials. Then, you can synthesize an item.¡± The system said, ¡°Mission completion reward: Shop owner¡¯s level will increase by one level, the level of the trial space will increase by one level, Excellent-Grade Immortal Pill Item Pool will be opened, the combat training room will be opened, accompanied by an additional reward.¡± The system said, ¡°Hint: the system will give out additional rewards according to the value of the store manager¡¯s synthesized item.¡± After hearing the system¡¯s request, Zhang Feng couldn¡¯t help but hold his forehead. Couldn¡¯t he just be a shop owner? Why did he have to fight? Besides, what was this combat training room? One could tell from the name, it was definitely not something that could be sold. 0011 ¡°System, I¡¯m only level 16 now. Can I enter the trial space?¡± Zhang Feng was no longer as excited as before. The system said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Manager. After you pass the trial, your level will increase to Level 30.¡± ¡°That good?¡± Zhang Feng began to suspect that there was a trap waiting for him. However, the system seemed to be able to hear Zhang Feng¡¯s thoughts. It said, ¡°A portion of the Essence Stones obtained by the system will be provided to the store manager for the level up. Zhang Feng was slightly stunned. It turned out that he might be able to get back some of the Essence Stones taken by the system. Thinking of this, Zhang Feng could not help but tear up. Chapter 32 - Successful Level Up Chapter 32 Successful Level Up Zhang Feng quickly closed the shop door and walked to the spell formation in the trial space. The spell formation that had never been activated before was currently flickering with a vast light. Then, in the center of the spell formation, an endless black hole appeared. Zhang Feng took a deep breath and stepped into the black hole. The system then said, ¡°Trial space has been opened. The warrior-level trial space is being created¡­¡± In the darkness, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Feng, illuminating this trial space. In this trial space stood an unfamiliar handsome man dressed in white tights and holding a long sword. This unfamiliar handsome man was slender and had an ordinary face. However, his eyes flickered with a threatening light, as if they were threatening Zhang Feng. The system said, ¡°Only by defeating the person in front of you can you pass the trial. Good luck and work hard.¡± At the same time, two weapon racks appeared beside Zhang Feng. Two rows of weapons with almost all the types of weapons. Although Zhang Feng did not know what the other trial spaces were like, they should not be as simple as his, right? ¡°He¡¯s just an ordinary person. This seems too simple.¡± Zhang Feng could sense that the handsome man in front of him did not have any energy fluctuations in his body. There was no combat aura or magic ability value, which meant that this handsome man was just an ordinary person. With a clang, Zhang Feng pulled out a long sword from the weapon rack and imitated his impression of those handsome swordsmen, pointing towards the handsome man in front of him from afar. Zhang Feng said to this handsome man, ¡°Come on, you don¡¯t have to stand on ceremony with me.¡± The system said, ¡°Friendly reminder, although the manager won¡¯t die in the trial space, it will hurt a lot.¡± ¡°What?¡± The sudden notification stunned Zhang Feng. Then, he saw a sword light instantly appear in front of him. Immediately after, Zhang Feng felt a chill on his neck, and his vision instantly turned dark. When he woke up again, Zhang Feng seemed to have returned to the scene when he had just entered the trial space. The person standing in front of him was still that unfamiliar handsome man. ¡°Ah? No way. Could it be that I was instantly killed by this thing?¡± Zhang Feng looked terrified. The handsome man¡¯s sword was still pointed at the ground. His sharp gaze seemed to be staring at Zhang Feng casually. In fact, that dangerous glint was like a sharp sword. ¡°Gulp¡­¡± Zhang Feng swallowed his saliva, then reached out to pull out a long sword from the weapon rack and looked seriously at the handsome man in front of him. As expected, the mission issued by the system was not that simple. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. My attributes are higher than this handsome man¡¯s, and my physique is stronger than him.¡± Zhang Feng held his sword tightly, then suddenly stepped forward to meet him. If he attacked a little slower, he had already lost half the battle. Zhang Feng knew very well that although he was only at level 16, he was still much stronger than this handsome man who only had an ordinary physique. However, this thought only lasted for a moment. A flash of light from the sword then sent Zhang Feng back to the respawn point. ¡°This won¡¯t do, I have to change weapons.¡± The moment the light returned to Zhang Feng¡¯s eyes, he immediately reached out, took out a spear, and stabbed it. As the saying went, an inch long was an inch strong. Immediately after, another dazzling sword light shot out with a whoosh, accompanied by blood spurting out of Zhang Feng¡¯s neck. SV The spear was pushed away by the longsword in the handsome man¡¯s hand and stabbed right into Zhang Feng. The light of the Rebirth Point lit up again. Zhang Feng took out a huge axe and waved it at the handsome man in front of him. Zhang Feng wanted to see how this handsome man would use the sword in his hand to block the slash of the huge axe. Then he saw the handsome man raise his sword and follow the path of the huge axe, brushing the handle of the huge axe. The slash of the huge axe was instantly carried in another direction by this force. Poof! With a soft thud, Zhang Feng felt a sharp pain in his heart. Blood flowed down the longsword in the handsome man¡¯s hand. ¡°Damn, how can I win?!¡± After dying 376 times, Zhang Feng, who had been reborn again, shouted in exasperation. His expression was all twisted. Zhang Feng could now tell that this handsome man in front of him only had the physique of an ordinary person. However, this handsome man¡¯s martial arts skills were completely on par with an immortal¡¯s. Zhang Feng could not defeat him at all, alright? It was simply impossible for Zhang Feng, who had basically never come into contact with martial arts moves, to defeat such an opponent. Fortunately, Zhang Feng did not feel hungry or tired in the trial space, so he could try again and again. The system said to Zhang Feng, ¡°Manager, can you remain patient and cool, time in the trial space stops flowing.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ so I¡¯m irritable now? I clearly can¡¯t beat him. If you¡¯re so awesome, why don¡¯t you do it?!¡± Zhang Feng knew what the system meant. It meant that even if he died ten thousand times, he had to complete the mission. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll continue to try again!¡± Zhang Feng gritted his teeth and said. He then casually took out a weapon from the weapon rack and faced the handsome man in front of him. That long sword was really like the death talisman of the King of Hell. However, under the trial of this Earth Immortal, Zhang Feng, who did not know any martial arts moves, was quickly advancing towards the master of martial arts moves. Perhaps one day, Zhang Feng would comprehend it and he would become a battle immortal. It was unknown how many times they had experienced it. It was probably because Zhang Feng¡¯s death count kept increasing. In the beginning, it was 1,000 times, then 2 times, 3,000 times, and even 10,000 times later¡­ Zhang Feng was already numb. He only knew that after his rebirth, he would draw his weapon and rush towards this handsome man. Those terrifying martial arts moves had long been engraved into his bones during the sparring. They had become Zhang Feng¡¯s instincts. ¡°I might lose to you ten thousand times, but I only need to beat you once!¡± Chapter 33 - Accumulation of Experience Chapter 33 Accumulation of Experience Zhang Feng moved quickly with the longsword in his hand, he saw an opening, and seized the opportunity to approach the man¡¯s throat. With a light pull, dark red blood splashed out. System: ¡°Trial mission complete.¡± After staying in the trial space for an unknown period of time, the numb Zhang Feng finally returned to his beloved shop. ¡°I really miss you guys.¡± Zhang Feng hugged the counter in front of him and was almost moved to tears. System: ¡°The Braveheart battle mark has been issued. The Braveheart skill has been completely mastered. It has been loaded into the shop owner.¡± Martial Arts Proficiency: This means that you can use various weapons and martial arts moves skillfully. You can cause higher damage and have a chance to cause various serious injuries to the enemy. System: ¡°Shopkeeper Set Weapon: Elemental Ball has been issued. Please check it.¡± Zhang Feng, who was hugging the counter, immediately felt an energy circulating in his body, constantly tempering his body. His level was also constantly increasing under the baptism of this energy. At level 30, this increase stopped. A golden ball the size of a sandbag appeared on the counter. ¡°Is this the elemental ball?¡± Zhang Feng grabbed the silver-white metal ball in his hand. With the help of his martial arts skills, he quickly figured out how to use the elemental ball. Next, he had to go to the Cloud Mist Forest to collect materials. Zhang Feng looked at the Cloud Mist Forest outside Zhiyue City again. ¡°Let¡¯s take advantage of tonight and gather the materials before it affects business tomorrow.¡± Zhang Feng could not help but feel a little excited. Although he did not know how long he had been in the trial space and how many times he had died in exchange for this power. ¡°Let those demon beasts taste my anger.¡± System: ¡°Quest item: Material Synthesizer (one-time use) has been issued. Manager, please check.¡± The Cloud Mist Forest at night was even more dangerous than during the day. Those demon beasts were much more aggressive at night than in the daytime. ¡°Start a fire and camp on the spot. Team One and Team Two will take turns to keep watch. Pay attention to the sneak attack of the demon beasts.¡± Fei Ma[1] delegated the tasks. The Pegasus team immediately began to move. It was common for veteran soldiers to camp out in the wilderness. After all, long-distance escort missions often involved spending the night outside. A bonfire was built, the warm flame chasing away the darkness of the night. Fei Ma found a random place and sat beside the bonfire. Then, a bald burly man walked over and placed the big sword by the fire. He sat on the ground and said, ¡°Big Brother, Team Ye Lan seems to have accepted this mission.¡± ¡°It¡¯s normal for Team Ye Lan to accept the mission. If Team Ye Lan obtains the Guardian Points for this mission, they would be the number one team in Zhiyue City,¡± the bald man said slowly to the bonfire. ¡°The Mighty Tyrant Guardian Corps was the first to enter the Cloud Mist Forest. They were the ones who brought back the news of the high-level demon beasts. Unfortunately, the members of their team also suffered heavy losses. As for the other Guardian Soldiers, we don¡¯t have to worry so much.¡± As Fei Ma spoke, he placed a few branches into the fire. The flames tested the moisture on the branches, and white smoke immediately rose. The bald burly man looked at the smoke, then tapped his fingers and said, ¡°Big Brother, I heard that the teams ranked at the bottom of the Guardian Soldier Guild seem to have temporarily joined forces to formed a temporary team, with Xiong Ba, of the Mighty Tyrant Guardian Corps, temporarily taking command.¡± ¡°Since when did Xiong Ba have such capabilities? Just based on the fact that his Guardian Corps suffered heavy losses, did they have that many people previously?¡± Fei Ma sneered disdainfully. The Mighty Tyrant Guardian Corps, Pegasus Team, and Ye Lan Team were the three strongest Guardian Corps in Zhiyue City. Among them, Ye Lan¡¯s team was the weakest among the three Guardian Corps. They also had the least number of people. However, each and everyone of them was the strongest in terms of abilities, among the top three Guardian Corps The Pegasus Team had a lot more people, but they were mainly individual elites. As for the Mighty Tyrant Guardian Corps, it was purely based on the combined strength of their soldiers. Therefore, Fei Ma accepted Ye Lan¡¯s team, but he looked down on the Mighty Tyrant Team. ¡°Alright, we still have to continue exploring the depths of the Cloud Mist Forest tomorrow. Rest well tonight.¡± Fei Ma waved his hand to stop the bald man from continuing to speak. ¡°Then you should rest early too, Big Brother. We cannot be without you for tomorrow¡¯s mission.¡± The bald man nodded, grabbed the big sword beside him, and walked into the tent that had just been built. Fei Ma chewed on a piece of hay, and stared fixedly at the bonfire. Previously, in order to hunt a Warrior-level demon beast, the Mighty Tyrant Guardian Corps had accidentally entered the depths of the Cloud Mist Forest. However, they had accidentally encountered a high-level demon beast. Here, it had to be mentioned that the advancement of a demon beast did not require a trial space. Instead, it was more like a rebirth. Apart from some demon beasts with powerful bloodlines and some gifted demon beasts, demon beasts usually would not obtain skills after leveling up. As compensation, when demon beasts advanced, all their attributes would increase. In terms of physical strength, demon beasts would always have the advantage. Therefore, although high-level demon beasts were only one level higher than Warrior-level demon beasts, the difference in attributes this time was definitely not something that could be made up for by more manpower. Moreover, the combat power of Mighty Tyrant Guardian Corps was uneven to begin with. After losing a large number of their members, Xiong Ba brought those who were slightly stronger back to Zhiyue City and provided this information to the Guardian Soldier Guild. At the same time, it also alarmed the mayor of Zhiyue City and the other two Guardian Corps of the top three Guardian Corps. However, because of the abnormal movements of the demon beasts this time, the Guardian Soldiers sent by the Guardian Guild were too high in points, making the other weak Guardian Soldiers a little envious. It was precisely because of this reason that Xiong Ba had seized the opportunity to recruit and join forces with these soldiers, using his reputation. And this huge joint defense regiment had also entered the Cloud Forest. However, they deliberately fell behind Team Pegasus and Team Ye Lan. One of the leaders of the corps stood beside the bonfire and said in confusion, ¡°Brother Xiong, after we¡¯ve fallen behind so much, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t even get our turn to complete the mission?¡± [1] Fei Ma means Pegasus Chapter 34 - Encountering a Pack of Beasts Chapter 34 Encountering a Pack of Beasts ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so anxious. High-level demon beasts are not so easy to deal with,¡± Xiong Ba said gloomily. Even if the Pegasus Team and Ye Lan Team could take down a high-level demon beast, they would definitely not have an easy time. Let them try and do all the hard work first, then at the end the Mighty Tyrant team could swoop in and take advantage. The mission would be completed by them. If the high-level demon beast was strong enough, Xiong Ba would be even happier. This was because he could use the excuse of supporting the mission, to legitimately take on the mission and reap the benefits. While Xiong Ba was thinking about this, a team member ran over with an anxious expression. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xiong Ba frowned. Xiong Ba didn¡¯t like these team members who were out of their wits when something happened. But he had no choice. That was because his Guardian Corps needed these people to support it. ¡°Brother Xiong Ba, it¡¯s bad. There are demon beasts ahead, and there are many of them. They¡¯re all surrounding us.¡± The team member who ran over was not even breathing evenly before he hurriedly reported. ¡°Calm down and speak properly. It¡¯s just some demon beasts, yet you¡¯re already so frightened. Can you still be considered a member of the Mighty Tyrant Guardian Corps?¡± Xiong Ba shouted in a deep voice. ¡°No, Brother Xiong Ba, there are many Warrior-level demon beasts among those demon beasts.¡± The man continued. ¡°What!¡± Xiong Ba suddenly stood up. Through the light of the bonfire, it was obvious that in the forest, the eyes of the numerous demon beasts emitted a terrifying and eerie light. ¡°Damn it, why are these demon beasts targeting us?¡± Xiong Ba¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. There were so many demon beasts, and there were also many Warrior-level demon beasts mixed in. Going into a battle with their current team that had been just thrown together could end up with them being wiped out. Xiong Ba grabbed the pendulum hammer next to him. ¡°Everyone get up and get ready to fight!¡± he shouted to everyone in the camp. The camp was suddenly noisy. After being woken up, and realising the demon beasts around, everyone was in such a panic that it took a while for them to grab their weapons. ¡°Roar¡ª!¡± A long howl came from the forest. The eerie green light in those beast eyes also began to sway. These demon beasts finally began to approach them. ¡°Warriors, move forward. Mages, stay back and cast enhancements on the warriors and knights in front of you.¡± Xiong Ba was the leader of a large defense corps after all. Now that he was in charge of this temporary alliance, he was just barely qualified. With someone in command, these defenders could still react and immediately execute. The heavily armored knights led the way. The warriors were mixed in with them as support. Mages waved their staffs around. ¡°Armor enhancement and strength enhancement! Hurry up and enhance it!¡± At the same time, the surrounding demon beasts also revealed their true appearance under the light of the bonfire. ¡°It¡¯s the Violent Fanged Hyenas!¡± one of the defenders could not help but exclaim. The Fanged Hyena was a low-level demon beast in the Cloud Mist Forest, but it was one of the most terrifying demon beasts in the Cloud Mist Forest. As they moved in packs, even powerful demon beasts were often unwilling to approach their hunting range. The last thing these soldiers in the Cloud Mist Forest wanted to encounter was the Fanged Hyena. This was because if they encountered a powerful demon beast, they could at least run. However, if they encountered the Fanged Hyena, they would definitely be completely wiped out. ¡°Ow00000¡ª!¡± A loud hyena howl suddenly came from the demon beasts. The Fanged Hyenas, which had been slowly approaching, suddenly picked up speed and pounced towards the soldiers. The teeth of the Fanged Hyenas which had never been cleaned and were slightly yellowed, flashed with their campfire fire. ¡°Charge forward!¡± Xiong Ba shouted. If they retreated now, the hard-fought front line would collapse. That would definitely be the worst situation. Enhanced with magical protection shields, the knights braced themselves with their steel shields and met the hyenas head-on. With a bang, the charging Fanged Hyenas slammed into the steel shields. The warriors guarding behind the shields immediately stepped out from behind and used their weapons to finish off the Fanged Hyenas. In just a few minutes, three or four Fanged Hyenas died in front of the steel shields. ¡°Good, that¡¯s it. There¡¯s nothing special about these Fanged Hyenas,¡± Xiong Ba shouted from the back of the group, carrying his hammer. Xiong Ba¡¯s gaze passed over the soldiers and landed on the Violent Fanged Hyenas. Even though they had thwarted their initial attack, if they did not kill the leader of the demon beasts, the Fanged Hyenas would definitely charge into their protective formation wave after wave. Moreover, the Warrior-level Fanged Hyena hidden in the hyena pack had yet to appear. A howl followed immediately, however, this time, the howl was much more urgent. In an instant, a few Fanged Hyenas, who were obviously taller than their own kind, walked out of the hyena pack and rushed towards the defenders. To steady their hearts, Xiong Ba said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, brothers in front. These Fanged Hyenas are nothing to fear.¡± ¡°Exactly. Look at all these hyena carcasses. I thought the Violent Fanged Hyenas of legend were scary.¡± The soldiers in the frontline gripped their steel shields in excitement as they saw another wave of Fanged Hyenas charging towards them. It was a terrifying sound. Several of the soldiers were knocked to the ground by the Fanged Hyenas, resulting in an opening in their formation. The larger Fanged Hyenas stepped on the fallen soldiers and bit them with their bloody mouths. Xiong Ba knew that these must be even more powerful demon beasts, so he shouted, ¡°It¡¯s the Warrior-level Fanged Hyenas! Retreat, retreat quickly!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t block me. Who¡¯s behind me and still standing here? Do you want to die?¡± The blood splashing everywhere finally reminded these soldiers of the horror of the Violent Fanged Hyenas. The formation that he had painstakingly built was instantly scattered by the Violent Fanged Hyenas. ¡°As expected of a ragtag team, they are of no use.¡± Xiong Ba was instantly dumbfounded. Xiong Ba did not expect that just the Warrior-level Fanged Hyena would be able to crumble this temporary joint defense regiment. Actually, this was inevitable, since this temporary defensive regiment was made up of some weak defensive troops. Chapter 35 - This Is the Gap Chapter 35 This Is the Gap It was only because of the high commission that the soldiers decided to temporarily joined forces,hence they were not united. In addition, they were not strong enough. Now that they were attacked by the ferocious Violent Fanged Hyenas, it was almost inevitable that they would escape. The army was defeated. Once the escape began, there was no chance of turning the tables. The Violent Fanged Hyenas that rushed up was like a flood breaking through a dam. People were constantly being hit by the Hyenas and then their heads were bitten off by the sharp fangs. Screams sounded everywhere, crushing the only bit of courage these soldiers had. ¡°Get out of my way!¡± Xiong Ba raised his sledgehammer and smashed the Fanged Hyena flying at him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but how do I go deep into the Cloud Mist Forest?¡± Just as the soldiers were fleeing, a calm voice suddenly sounded in Xiong Ba¡¯s ears. Xiong Ba looked up and saw a thin and handsome young man appear in front of him. ¡°Were you the one asking the question just now?¡± Xiong Ba looked at the handsome boy strangely. ¡°That¡¯s right. Otherwise, would there be anyone else beside me? I¡¯m very timid and am most afraid of ghosts.¡± Zhang Feng nodded, then asked in confusion, ¡°But, why are you all running?¡± Zhang Feng did not expect that he would get lost in the Cloud Mist Forest in the middle of the night. There were definitely no good materials in the periphery of the Cloud Mist Forest as mentioned by the system. ¡°What are we running for? Are you blind? Didn¡¯t you see the Violent Fanged Hyenas behind us? If you want to die, continue staying here.¡± Xiong Ba did not bother to reply to Zhang Feng¡¯s question at all. ¡°Violent Fanged Hyena! The bones of that demon beast should be good materials, right?¡± Zhang Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°The bones of these demon beasts are indeed good materials, but young man, there must be a limit to your big talk.¡± Xiong Ba disdained Zhang Feng¡¯s words. ¡°Little brother, did you see these fleeing soldiers? Such a large regiment can only run for their lives in front of the Violent Fanged Hyena. How many lives do you think you have for the Fanged Hyenas to kill?¡±. Xiong Ba¡¯s eyes were filled with contempt because he had already concluded that the young man in front of him was a braggart. However, Zhang Feng acted as if he did not hear Xiong Ba¡¯s words. He took out the Elemental Ball and walked towards the Violent Fanged Hyenas, completely ignoring Xiong Ba. ¡°Huh? Who is this thing? Did he get scared out of his mind? How dare he walk towards the Violent Fanged Hyenas?¡± Xiong Ba said. ¡°You still have the mood to look at others? Why aren¡¯t you running?¡± Some of the soldiers who turned around to look at Zhang Feng also revealed disdainful or mocking expressions. They did not ask to run to the front. They just wanted to be faster than the people around them. ¡°Elemental Ball, strengthen.¡± Zhang Feng raised his left hand, and the Elemental Ball floated into the air, quickly transforming into a three-foot-long halberd that landed in Zhang Feng¡¯s hand. When facing a large number of enemies, a long weapon was better than a short weapon. When the Fanged Hyenas, who was running in front, saw that there were still people who dared to come over, it immediately howled and pounced forward. However, Zhang Feng waved his hand. The pouncing Fanged Hyenas were whipped away like a couple of kites in the wind. ¡°So you do have some skills. No wonder you dare to boast like this.¡± Xiong Ba stood in the crowd and sneered. ¡°But against the Violent Fanged Hyenas, this is not enough.¡± The Fanged Hyena itself was only a low-level demon beast. The real terrifying thing about the Fanged Hyena was its huge numbers. The Fanged Hyena alone wasn¡¯t actually scary, but the problem was that they never acted alone. Zhang Feng was very puzzled because he did not want such an ordinary demon beast. ¡°So where is the leader? Where is the Fanged Hyena Leader?¡± Xiong Ba came from behind and told Zhang Feng, ¡°The leader is in the pack of the Fanged Hyenas, of course.¡± Zhang Feng moved swiftly around and among the Violent Fanged Hyenas, sending them flying constantly. The three-foot-long halberd in Zhang Feng¡¯s hand whipped around the Fanged Hyenas with the greatest precision. With the enhancement of his martial arts skills, he directly killed the Fanged Hyenas. These Fanged Hyenas¡¯ attack methods were really too simple. For Zhang Feng, he didn¡¯t need to deliberately dodge at all. With the physical reaction he had trained from the trial space, he could easily break their attacks and counterattack. Compared to the handsome man in that space, the Violent Fanged Hyenas were too weak. ¡°Found it.¡± Zhang Feng walked among the Violent Fanged Hyenas as if there was no one around. His searching gaze finally locked onto the tallest and biggest Fanged Hyena. The Fanged Hyena King seemed to have discovered Zhang Feng as well. Its cold beast eyes stared intently at Zhang Feng, and its bloody mouth opened, revealing its white sharp teeth. With a loud howl, the Fanged Hyena King suddenly accelerated. Its agile body rushed forward like a fast arrow. Xiong Ba¡¯s pupils constricted when he turned around and saw this. ¡°What speed!¡± Although Xiong Ba was also a Warrior, his physique was far inferior to the Fanged Hyena King. Xiong Ba knew that if he had been facing this Fanged Hyena King, there was no way he could have resisted this attack. ¡°Huh? Isn¡¯t this speed too slow?¡± However, Zhang Feng, who had been trained by that monster-like handsome man, only smiled slightly. He flipped the three-foot halberd in his hand as if at random, then thrust it forward. As if it was waiting for the Hyena King to pounce, the sharp tip pierced through the Hyena King¡¯s throat in an instant, and stuck out of the back of its neck, blood spurting out immediately. Without the command of the Fanged Hyena King, the Violent Fanged Hyenas were instantly thrown into chaos. The ground beside Zhang Feng was stained with the blood of the Fanged Hyena King. The remaining Fanged Hyenas were extremely afraid and did not dare to approach Zhang Feng at all. ¡°How is this possible?! That Fanged Hyena King actually died just like that?!¡± Xiong Ba watched this scene with his mouth agape, his eyes almost popping out. The soldiers at the back naturally saw this scene as well. The chaotic hyena pack no longer chased after these soldiers. However, Zhang Feng did not have time to chat with this pleasant person. Since he had already killed the Fanged Hyena King, he should go and collect these materials. ¡°The bones of the Fanged Hyena King, the beast essence of the Fanged Hyena King, and the skin of this Fanged Hyena King. And his nails. That¡¯s probably all I need.¡± Chapter 36 - Are You Envious? Chapter 36 Are You Envious? Zhang Feng skillfully turned the Elemental Ball into a knife and quickly got what he wanted from the carcass. ¡°By the way, let me ask you a question. If I want to go deeper, which direction should I go from?¡± Zhang Feng put away his Elemental Ball and walked in front of Xiong Ba. That calm expression, that flat tone, as if he hadn¡¯t just killed the Fanged Hyena King. Or perhaps killing the Fanged Hyena King was as simple as killing a pig. ¡°This, this way¡­¡± Xiong Ba¡¯s mouth was wide open. He had yet to react from the shock and only pointed in a direction reflexively. ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Zhang Feng nodded. Without another word, he walked in the direction Xiong Ba pointed. Only when he could no longer be seen did Xiong Ba react. ¡°Wait, over there, those are high-level demon beasts!¡± However, this was already very obvious because Zhang Feng could not hear Xiong Ba¡¯s reminder. The surrounding soldiers also started discussing with trepidation. ¡°Do you know who that person is? How did such a strong person appear in this Zhiyue City?¡± ¡°Are you stupid? Many experts like to come back to the novice village to torture newbies! This person is probably a powerhouse from another place. It¡¯s really our luck to meet him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If not for him, we would probably have died in the mouths of those demon beasts. Besides, I was still suspicious of this little brother before. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t take offence with me.¡± ¡°Why are you still calling him little brother? Does he still have time to waste on you? Pfft, don¡¯t be shameless.¡± Some people here were shocked, some were rejoicing, and most of them still not recovered from their shock. However, their deep respect for Zhang Feng was real. Perhaps only someone so powerful would dare to enter the depths of the Cloud Mist Forest at such a time. The situation on the other side where Fei Ma was, was also terrible. And it had almost gone horribly wrong. ¡°Form a defense formation. Damn it, why are there high-level demon beasts here?¡± Fei Ma raised his shield and collided with the Giant Golem Gorilla in front of it. The explosive power of the Giant Golem Gorilla sent Fei Ma flying back. The members of the Pegasus team were immediately thrown out of their battle formation. ¡°Hoo-hoo-hoo!¡± Fei Ma rolled to his feet, his weapon once again at his chest, a pair of scarlet gorilla eyes glaring at him. This Giant Golem Gorilla had been lying in ambush nearby when the Pegasus team started the bonfire. It waited until late at night and suddenly attacked when the other party was most sleepy. Four of the guards had already been killed. ¡°Roar! Roar!¡± The Giant Golem Gorilla pounded its chest and roared loudly as if it was demonstrating to them. These huge gorillas were very muscular and had very terrifying strength. This Giant Golem Gorilla was also called Four Big Arms. It was a high-level strength-type demon beast, but it was not a demon beast from the Cloud Mist Forest. ¡°Why are there Giant Golem Gorillas here?¡± Fei Ma was puzzled, but now was not the time to think about these questions. ¡°Everyone, form a group of five. Don¡¯t fight the Giant Golem Gorilla head-on.¡± After Fei Ma shouted, the team quickly formed up. It took only three or four seconds. This was the difference between an elite guard team and a ragtag team. ¡°Sparks!¡± Several of the mages in the group waved their wands and gathered their powers. Dozens of sparks appeared in the air. The surging fireball flew towards the Giant Golem Gorilla with a sonic boom. At the same time, the others were also moving as well. The Fireball hit the Giant Golem Gorilla and instantly burst open, and the sparks fell to the ground. ¡°What a hard body. Such a strong body is really terrifying!¡± Fei Ma had never thought that a mere fireball could kill the Giant Golem Gorilla. Sharp weapons followed behind shortly. ¡°Roar!¡± The Giant Golem Gorilla let out a loud roar. The fur on its body seemed to have turned into a layer of steel and copper skin. When the swords slashed at the Giant Golem Gorilla, there was a sound of metal colliding. The fur of this Giant Golem Gorilla was actually as hard as metal. ¡°Hurry up and retreat!¡± Fei Ma shouted. He immediately raised his steel shield and went towards the demon beast. The Giant Golem Gorilla waved its hands and smashed them at the guards who dared to attack it. The sound of the wind caused by its actions was enough to prove the strength of its fist. If he let the Giant Golem Gorilla hit him, even if he was a heavily armored character who was good at defense, he would still be half dead. This was the difference between the Warrior level and the advanced level. ¡°Explosive Energy Burst!¡± A very profound skill mark suddenly appeared on the left hand of Fei Ma that immediately raised his steel shield . This was the skill mark of Fei Ma. His high-level extreme skill could be said to be explosive. It could instantly increase all his attributes, but every time he used it, he needed a period of cooldown time. Otherwise, using explosive skills continuously would greatly injure Fei Ma¡¯s body. The Giant Golem Gorilla¡¯s fist smashed into the steel shield raised by Fei Ma, who had activated his explosive skill. He gritted his teeth and barely resisted the Giant Golem Gorilla¡¯s attack. The ground under his feet was shattered by this huge force. The sparks of fire that had landed on the ground when the fireball shattered flew up. Fei Ma quickly condensed them into a steel chain and wrapped them around the joints of the Giant Golem Gorilla. Fei Ma took this opportunity to raise his weapon and stabbed it at the Giant Golem Gorilla¡¯s heart. The sharp tip of the sword pierced into the Giant Golem Gorilla¡¯s flesh with Fei Ma¡¯s explosive energy burst. ¡°Ouch!¡± The intense pain made the Giant Golem Gorilla let out a violent cry. The steel shackles that sealed the demon beast¡¯s joints were instantly shattered and scattered on the ground. Several of the mages in the Pegasus team grunted in pain. The backlash from the shattered steel shackles had affected their mental powers. The Giant Golem Gorilla looked at Fei Ma with its scarlet eyes and bared its fangs. Its huge fist smashed at Fei Ma like a black trash bag. Fei Ma quickly raised his steel shield to protect himself, as that terrifying force smashed into his steel shield. As Fei Ma got thrown up, he pulled his weapon out of the Giant Golem Gorilla¡¯s body. Blood splattered, and the tree fell, stirring up a large cloud of dust. Only then did Fei Ma stop. ¡°Hahaha!¡± The Giant Golem Gorilla roared as if it was demonstrating its might. Then, it rushed crazily towards the fallen Fei Ma. Chapter 37 - A Different Man Chapter 37 A Different Man This Giant Golem Gorilla really angered Fei Ma. ¡°Ahem, the Giant Golem Gorilla is too strong. The steel shackles can¡¯t restrict its movements at all.¡± Fei Ma got up from the ground and felt a tightness in his chest. Although it had blocked the Giant Golem Gorilla¡¯s attack just now, the explosive power still passed through the steel shield and struck Fei Ma. ¡°Hurry up and use the iron chains to trap the Giant Golem Gorilla!¡± A few of the stronger team members immediately untied the almost two or three fingers thick chains that were tied on them. They swung them out with all their might. Their years of cooperation made the others react quickly. In just a little more ten seconds, four chains were pulled up and hidden in the direction the Giant Golem Gorilla was heading. The moment the Giant Golem Gorilla approached, the people holding the chains at both ends suddenly straightened them. The Giant Golem Gorilla crashed straight into it, and the people who tightened the chains immediately moved. ¡°Steel Shackles!¡± The mage of the Pegasus team moved his staff and condensed his magic power, freezing the joints of the Giant Golem Gorilla again. The Giant Golem Gorilla, which had been stopped again, instantly let out an angry roar. With the Giant Golem Gorilla¡¯s strength, the steel chains could not stop it at all. At most, they could only slow down the demon beast¡¯s movements. However, in this short period of struggle, the chains had already finished connecting and bound the Giant Golem Gorilla tightly. ¡°How strange. Why would such a high-level demon beast appear here?¡± Fei Ma panted heavily. Fortunately, this Giant Golem Gorilla was only a level-40 demon beast and had not awakened its innate skill. Otherwise, even with the Pegasus Team¡¯s timely response, they would definitely not be able to deal with this demon beast unscathed. ¡°Hurry up and kill this demon beast. We can¡¯t capture it alive,¡± Fei Ma ordered sensibly. If it was an agility-type high-level demon beast, it could still be locked down. However, a strength-type demon beast was too dangerous. Moreover, the Pegasus Team¡¯s mission was not to capture a high-level demon beast alive. ¡°Hurricane Blizzard!¡± The mages of the Pegasus team quickly condensed huge snowballs. Strong magic circulated in the snowball. This was the most powerful freezing spell they could master apart from lightning spells. The skin of the Giant Golem Gorilla was too hard. Using spells to attack was much more effective than physical attacks. S 1ore Crushed snowballs were flung out at the Giant Golem Gorilla, exploding in a shower of violent snowballs, but Fei Ma¡¯s face was grim. A huge roar erupted from the snowball, almost obliterating it. ¡°The demon beast is still alive!¡± Fei Ma¡¯s expression changed drastically. He immediately raised his steel shield and stomped on the ground. ¡°Hurry up and get out of the way!¡± Fei Ma shoved a member of his team away from the ball of snow. At the same time, a shadow shot out of the exploding snow. ¡°Skill Mark Explosion!¡± The demon beast, along with the snowball, collided with Fei Ma. The terrifying force sent Fei Ma flying, and his body flew into several trees before crashing to the ground. Even Fei Ma, who had activated his explosive skill, found it difficult to withstand the enraged Giant Golem Gorilla. The Giant Golem Gorilla pounded its chest. The air around it was already trembling and roaring. Its body was covered in wounds and dried blood, but it made this gorilla look even more ferocious. Inside the melting snowball was the chain that had been broken by the Giant Golem Gorilla. Even a chain that was two or three fingers was completely broken. ¡°Stop it. Don¡¯t let this guy find their leader.¡± The Giant Golem Gorilla was already in a rage. Seeing that someone dared to stop it, it instantly roared and rushed forward. Under its terrifying power, no one was a match for the Giant Golem Gorilla. As long as they were hit by the demon beast¡¯s fist, they would either die or be crippled. Within moments, the Pegasus team had lost over ten men, but not a single one of them retreated. ¡°Ahhh¡­¡± Fei Ma struggled to get up from the ground and coughed out a mouthful of blood weakly. In terms of physique, the difference between humans and demon beasts was huge. Unless they had powerful skills to make up for it, demon beasts would definitely win in a clash of strength. In order to block the Giant Golem Gorilla¡¯s furious attack, Fury had suffered serious internal injuries even though he had used his explosive skill. Even the energy in his body was not working properly now. Fei Ma struggled to prop himself up. ¡°This can¡¯t go on. Otherwise, everyone in our team will die here.¡± He raised his weapon and raised his steel shield again to charge. However, at this moment, Fei Ma seemed to see a figure flash past from the corner of his eye. The Giant Golem Gorilla was still roaring and waving its fists, smashing towards the surrounding members of the Pegasus team like summoning the Grim Reaper. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s actually a Giant Golem Gorilla. It¡¯s not in vain that I¡¯m still wandering around in the Cloud Mist Forest in the middle of the night.¡± Zhang Feng¡¯s voice sounded in front of him. Immediately after, a figure rushed towards the Giant Golem Gorilla. He raised the sword in his hand and ruthlessly collided with the Giant Golem Gorilla¡¯s fist. A muffled bang sounded. The terrifying Giant Golem Gorilla was actually forced back two steps, and the figure also landed on the ground. ¡°Da Yong!¡± Fei Ma¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Ma-er, long time no see. How have you been recently?¡± Ding Dayong held the Howling Wind Sword and greeted him with a laugh. ¡°Are you really Ding Dayong, the one who acts alone?¡± Fei Ma¡¯s eyes widened. To be able to defeat the enraged Giant Golem Gorilla with a single strike was not something a Warrior-level Berserker could do. Even Ding Dayong, who was famous for his strength, should not be so strong. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the team under Fei Ma? Don¡¯t you recognize me?¡± As someone famous for operating independently among the Cloud Mist City¡¯s Guardian Guild, Ding Dayong had naturally interacted with these guards before. ¡°No it¡¯s not that, but be careful!¡± A guard hurriedly reminded when he saw the Giant Golem Gorilla pouncing towards Ding Dayong. ¡°Here it comes again. Then I¡¯ll take this Giant Golem Gorilla.¡± There was no panic on Ding Dayong¡¯s face. When he saw the demon beast pouncing towards him, he turned around and charged over. The two of them collided again. The clash between the Giant Golem Gorilla and Ding Dayong made a loud thunder-like sound. However, Ding Dayong, who was brandishing the Howling Wind Sword, was actually not at a disadvantage when facing the high-level Giant Golem Gorilla. Ding Dayong waved the Howling Wind Sword frenziedly. The more he fought, the braver his passive skill became. The moment he fought the Giant Golem Gorilla for the first time, he had already activated it. The attack power of the Excellent Grade Howling Wind Sword was incomparable to those usual crude weapons. Chapter 38 - The Advantage of Weapons Chapter 38 The Advantage of Weapons As the battle continued, Ding Dayong slowly suppressed the Giant Golem Gorilla. ¡°He actually suppressed the Giant Golem Gorilla. Could it be that Ding Dayong has already passed the trial and advanced to the high level?¡± Fei Ma propped himself up and looked at Ding Dayong in shock. He and Ding Dayong were old friends, but he had never known that Ding Dayong was so strong. ¡°When did our captain meet such a strong man? Is this still the lone wolf Ding Dayong we¡¯ve seen before?¡± ¡°No, no, I must be seeing things.¡± The members of the Pegasus team looked at Ding Dayong, who was fighting the Giant Golem Gorilla, in disbelief. Even if Ding Dayong successfully advanced to a high-level Berserker, it would still be a little difficult for him to fight a high-level demon beast alone. After all, the difference in physical attributes was obvious, but Ding Dayong had defied the odds. ¡°The Immortal Pills from that shop are really good stuff!¡± Ding Dayong panted slightly, his hands moving faster. Courage Pills and Wind Speed Pills. Ding Dayong had popped them long before they appeared. Otherwise, with just the Howling Wind Sword, his attack power would increase, but his various attributes would still not be able to catch up to the Giant Golem Gorilla. Then, he would not be able to suppress it as quickly as he did now. ¡°Attack power is enough.¡± Ding Dayong took a deep breath. The main reason Ding Dayong was still wandering around the Cloud Mist Forest so late at night, was that he was still familiarising himself with the effects of the Howling Wind Sword¡¯s passive skill. There was no quantitative data on the overlapping attack power, hence he had to depend on his own experience with it. However, after getting used to it, Ding Dayong liked this Howling Wind Sword more and more. The Hero¡¯s Seal appeared on the back of Ding Dayong¡¯s hand and quickly wrapped around the Howling Wind Sword. ¡°Hero level skill: Heavy Slash!¡± He strengthened his next slash, causing it to erupt with even greater destructive power. The Howling Wind Sword wrapped in the Hero¡¯s Seal erupted with terrifying power. Under the enhancement of the skill¡¯s effect, it collided with the Giant Golem Gorilla¡¯s fist. Then, to the astonishment of the Pegasus team, the fist of the Giant Golem Gorilla shattered and split the beast into two, and a large amount of blood splashed out. However, Ding Dayong continued to swing the Howling Wind Sword and picked out the beast essence of the Giant Golem Gorilla. Though his movements did not look very proficient, as if he had only started practicing it recently. ¡°Another beast essence. I really want to get that Dragon Scale Whip Axe quickly,¡± Ding Dayong muttered to himself as he put the beast essence away. The members of the Pegasus team were so shocked that they were speechless. The high-level demon beast that had almost caused their team to be wiped out was dead just like that? Was this really the demon beast from before? ¡°Dayong, Dayong, have you passed the high-level trial recently?¡± Fei Ma dragged his weak body over. ¡°Of course not.¡± Ding Dayong was not in the habit of hiding his strength. ¡°Then how¡­ how¡­¡± Fei Ma pointed at the two halves of the Giant Golem Gorilla on the ground, not knowing how to describe it. ¡°Well, it¡¯s mainly because I changed this weapon,¡± Ding Dayong said casually, laughing. He had no intention of hiding it. Ah, what weapon? Fei Ma wondered. What could strength have to do with weapons? ¡°Of course, there are also Immortal Pills. Although the owner¡¯s Immortal Pills are extremely expensive, the effects are still quite good. Hahahaha.¡± Ding Dayong nodded. ¡°What Immortal Pills?¡± Fei Ma was even more confused now. ¡°Yes, Immortal Pills!¡± After Ding Dayong put away his beast essence, he looked at Fei Ma again and said seriously, ¡°Your internal injuries are not light this time.¡± ¡°Consider us unlucky. A strength-type demon beast like the Giant Golem Gorilla is the type that counters our team.¡± Fei Ma shook its head with a bitter smile. Even with the healing medicine, it would probably take more than two to three days for his internal injuries to recover. ¡°Ah, just in time. I¡¯ll take it as a rare rest,¡± Fei Ma said to himself. ¡°By the way, what¡¯s the deal with your Immortal Pills?¡± Fei Mawas still thinking about it. ¡°This Immortal Pill is a good thing. You¡¯ll know when you try it.¡± Ding Dayong took out a healing pill. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Fei Ma asked, confused. ¡°Healing Pill is, of course, for healing,¡± Ding Dayong said. ¡°Healing, Ding Dayong, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve been tricked into using these strange things instead of alchemy potions to heal your wounds,¡± Fei Ma couldn¡¯t help teasing. However, given their relationship, Fei Ma had no doubt that Ding Dayong would ever harm him. Despite his teasing, Fei Ma ate the healing immortal pill. In an instant, a warm current appeared in Fei Ma¡¯s body and began to repair his internal injuries. In just a few breaths, the internal injuries that were serious enough to affect the circulation of his fighting energy were completely repaired. ¡°Healing Immortal Pills?¡± Fei Ma¡¯s hand trembled as he held the pills. What kind of magical Immortal Pill was this? It was simply a miracle pill. Only the potions refined by alchemists hundreds of years ago could compare to this. Fei Ma could not imagine how precious this Immortal Pill was. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a Healing Immortal Pill. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s very powerful?¡± Ding Dayong nodded to confirm. ¡°You¡¯re actually willing to let me use such a precious pill? If you have any problems in the future, just look for us. Our Pegasus Team will definitely not refuse.¡± Fei Maheld the bottle of Healing Immortal Pills tightly and said seriously. ¡°Huh? Its not that precious. There¡¯s a whole bunch of them in Boss¡¯ shop, there¡¯s a lot more. If you want it, you can buy it too.¡± Fei Ma looked at Ding Dayong in confusion, as if he didn¡¯t understand what this person was saying. Ding Dayong¡¯s tone was as if he was taking it for granted. ¡°A whole bunch?¡± Fei Ma was stunned, too. When had the world become so crazy? How could such a miracle pill be produced so quickly? Such a precious Immortal Pill was a life-saving treasure for the soldiers who were on the verge of death. And, there were actually a lot of such precious pills! ¡°There are a lot of them. There is a shop in Cloud Mist City. I bought the immortal pills from there.¡± Ding Dayong nodded and explained the effects of the other Immortal Pills. ¡°You mean, the reason you were so strong just now was because you ate the Invigorate Pill and the Godspeed Pill?¡± Fei Ma pinched himself hard, trying to prove that this was a dream. Chapter 39 - Misunderstood Chapter 39 Misunderstood ¡°Yes, Maler.¡± However, Ding Dayong was still a small fry. He even took out a few other Immortal Pills and released his aura. He was level 35, even one level lower than Pegasus. However, with these immortal pills, Ding Dayong could actually fight a high-level demon beast alone. The other members of the Pegasus team were already envious and even wanted to buy immortal pills. It turned out that the only difference between him and the strong was the ability of a few Immortal Pills? On the other side, Zhang Feng continued walking into the Cloud Mist Forest in the direction Xiong Ba pointed. ¡°I¡¯ve already walked so far, but why haven¡¯t I encountered any demon beasts that can be used as materials?¡± Zhang Feng scratched the back of his head and tossed the elemental ball around in his hand. Although he had seen some demon beasts along the way, the materials collected for this mission were still not enough. After all, only the first demon beast was a hyena king. The materials collected after that were just too low. ¡°There¡¯s movement ahead. From the energy fluctuations, this demon beast should be at least level 40.¡± As he walked, Zhang Feng stopped and immediately hid himself. That should be a high-level demon beast. As long as he killed this demon beast tonight, his mission would basically be completed. Zhang Feng thought to himself before looking over, but what he saw was a girl¡¯s face. ¡°Who are you?¡± they both asked in unison. Then the girl raised her hand and tabbed towards him with a small bright knife. ¡°Wait!¡± The elemental ball in Zhang Feng¡¯s hand instantly turned into a wind staff that firmly blocked the girl¡¯s knife. ¡°You¡¯re from the other soldier team, right?¡± The girl stared into Zhang Feng¡¯s eyes and said coldly. ¡°No, I¡¯m the only one here.¡± Zhang Feng quickly defended himself. The girl frowned slightly, but she really did not sense any other people. So she let down her guard slightly and withdrew her knife. But the knife remained ready in her hand, ready to strike anytime. ¡°You should be part of soldier teams, right? Are you fighting high-level demon beasts?¡± Zhang Feng heaved a sigh of relief and asked naturally. ¡°Youstill said that you¡¯re not from the other team. You must be here to snatch our things, right?¡± The girl¡¯s expression changed, and the knife in her hand suddenly stabbed towards Zhang Feng. ¡°I¡¯m really not!¡± Zhang Feng helplessly raised his wind staff and blocked the knife again. This girl¡¯s movements were like slow motion to Zhang Feng. However, Zhang Feng was just an ordinary manager with a system. He was not an assassin at all, so there was no way he could destroy this delicate flower for no reason. ¡°Jiu You, come and help us!¡± Just as Zhang Feng and the girl were in a deadlock, a clear shout was heard. ¡°I¡¯ll settle the score with you later.¡± The girl glared at Zhang Feng before turning around and rushing towards the source of the voice. At this moment, Zhang Feng also saw the situation in front of him. A girl in heavy armor was holding a tower shield that was taller than him and blocking at the front. A Molten Flame Demon Dog was blocked by the tower shield. It grinned and spat flames between its white fangs. This was a level 41 high-level demon beast¡ªthe Molten Flame Demon Dog. It could spit flames and could use a small number of fire spells. It was a very dangerous demon beast. Beside the girl was a valiant female knight. There was also a swordswoman who kept harassing the Molten Flame Demon Dog so that it could not focus on its attack. The Molten Flame Demon Dog roared and instantly spat out a ball of blazing snow flames at the swordsman. The swordswoman tapped her toes on the branch and quickly retreated. Flames swept past above the swordsman. The Molten Fire Demon Dog suddenly stomped on the ground, its four wolf claws creating a circle of cracks in the ground. Like a summer gale, it attacked the swordswoman. Jiu You suddenly appeared behind the Molten Flame Demon Dog and stabbed the back of its neck. The Molten Flame Demon Dog reacted very quickly. The moment Jiu You appeared, flames began to flicker on the demon beast¡¯s body. The moment the knife touched the fur of the Molten Flame Demon Dog, a scorching snowball erupted. Fire-type spell: Ring of Fire. This was one of the spells used by mages to fight close-range enemies. When used by the Molten Flame Demon Dog, its power would be even more terrifying ¡°All-out protection!¡± At this moment, Ya, who was standing at the back, hurriedly waved her staff, and a barrier condensed with magic power was added to Jiu You. However, the Mana Protection only lasted for less than two seconds before it was destroyed. Jiu You was sent flying back by the Ring of Fire. The swordswoman immediately caught Jiu You in the air and retreated behind the shield. ¡°How¡¯s Jiu You?¡± Ye Lan asked without turning around, guarding the tower shield and guarding against the Molten Flame Demon Dog. ¡°The situation is extremely bad. Sister Jiu You was hit head-on by the Ring of Fire. The power of the Molten Flame Demon Dog¡¯s spell is too great. Sister Jiu You has a lot of burns on her body,¡± Ya replied quickly after a simple examination. ¡°Can she be treated?¡± Ye Lan asked. ¡°My magic power is insufficient now. I¡¯m afraid I can only go back to Cloud Mist City to treat it.¡± ¡°And¡­ if we don¡¯t treat it in time, not only will the injury worsen, I¡¯m afraid it will leave a scar.¡± Ya hesitated, then told the truth. ¡°Ye Lan, why don¡¯t we go back first?¡± Xue Fei suggested. She was the swordswoman who had just picked up Jiu You. Jiu You had been hurt trying to cover for her. She felt guilty about that, too. For girls, scars were more serious than any injury. Although Ya could heal spells, she was helpless against scars. To be precise, there was no spell that could be specially used to heal scars. ¡°That¡¯s the only way. Zi¡¯er, prepare to retreat.¡± Ye Lan gritted her teeth and held her spear horizontally. She changed to a defensive posture and prepared to cover the others¡¯ retreat. ¡°There are no demon beasts at the back. Prepare the mud wall.¡± At this moment, a voice came from the tree. It was Lan Qing Er, the archer who had been on the high ground, helping cover and observing the situation. ¡°Wait, if you¡¯re in a hurry, why don¡¯t you try my Immortal Pill?¡± At this moment, Zhang Feng took out a porcelain bottle from somewhere and raised it high. ¡°Who are you?¡± Several girls present immediately aimed their weapons at Zhang Feng. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. I¡¯m just a store manager. I don¡¯t have any ill intentions.¡± When Zhang Feng looked at the bows, swords, staffs, and spears pointed at him expressionlessly, his heart didn¡¯t waver. He even wanted to laugh. Chapter 40 - A Good Man Chapter 40 A Good Man The threat he felt from so many people here was not as strong as the man in the trial space. ¡°What store manager? Sneaking around in the middle of the night, you¡¯re definitely not a good person.¡± Lanna Qiqin raised her staff, and gathered powers on it. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll leave the Immortal Pill here. You can use it if you want.¡± Zhang Feng thought of a way to convince them. Then, he glanced at the Molten Flame Demon Dog and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go and deal with that Molten Flame Demon Dog first.¡± ¡°What did you just say? You¡¯re going to deal with the Molten Flame Demon Dog?¡± The girls were stunned as they looked at one another. In the end, Ye Lan, who was the captain, was the first to react. ¡°No, even if you do not have ulterior motives, we can¡¯t watch you send yourself to your death.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Lanna Qiqin said, joining them. ¡°Even if you¡¯re not a good man, we won¡¯t stand by and let you get yourself killed.¡± Zhang Feng glanced at the mage girl and placed the Immortal Pill in his hand on the ground. He said seriously, ¡°Give the Immortal Pill to that girl. It¡¯s better sooner than later. By the way, if you use it, please remember to give me 10 Essence Stones later. This is the price of this Immortal Pill.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Feng disappeared from in front of the girls in a flash. ¡°What speed!¡± Ye Lan was shocked. She realized that she had completely underestimated this young man who had suddenly appeared. At this speed, she could not even react. If he really had any bad intentions, he could have just killed them without being discovered by them, right? ¡°Hey, where is he?¡± Lanna Qiqin looked blankly at the empty space in front of her. There was only one Immortal Pill left. ¡°Why is there another person in front of Sister Lan? What should we do?¡± Qing¡¯er suddenly shouted. Only then did the others realize that Zhang Feng had already appeared in front of the Molten Flame Demon Dog. ¡°Elemental Ball, Eternal Sky Mode.¡± Zhang Feng waved his right hand, and the elemental ball turned into an ancient staff. Zhang Feng waved it, and the wind whistled. The Molten Flame Demon Dog was already annoyed by Ye Lan¡¯s team. Having this other person appear in front of it was extremely intolerable. The moment Zhang Feng appeared, the Molten Flame Demon Dog pounced towards him like a gust of wind. Its speed was far faster than when it was confronting Ye Lan. ¡°Is this the true strength of the Molten Flame Demon Dog?¡± Xue Fei¡¯s eyes widened in shock. If the Molten Flame Demon Dog had been this fast before, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to restrain it from the side. ¡°This is bad. That guy is in danger.¡± Lan Qing Er, who was standing high, saw it even more clearly. The Molten Flame Demon Dog was a blur in her eyes. However, Zhang Feng stood rooted to the ground as if he was scared silly. ¡°I told him not to go and get himself killed. Why didn¡¯t he listen?¡± Lanna Qiqin stamped her foot in frustration. Lan Qing Er immediately drew her bow and nocked an arrow, trying to interfere with the Molten Flame Demon Dog¡¯s attack. ¡°Storm¡­¡± Lanna Qigin also raised her staff. However, the moment the Molten Flame Demon Dog approached, Zhang Feng turned around and swung the Eternal Sky in his hand in a beautiful trajectory. The Molten Flame Demon Dog¡¯s attack happened to pass by Zhang Feng, and the dancing Eternal Sky whipped the Demon Dog¡¯s waist. A terrifying muffled sound rang out. On Zhang Feng¡¯s wrist, a profound skill mark flashed for a moment. This was a mark of Martial Skill Proficiency at the Warrior-level. His passive power had been completely triggered. With a shattering sound, the Molten Flame Demon Dog was sent flying. Then, as its body rolled, it broke countless trees before crashing heavily to the ground. Lan Qing Er, who had the best eyesight, could clearly see a bloody wound on the Molten Flame Demon Dog¡¯s waist. The others were even more dumbfounded, and huge waves surged in their hearts. How could this young man who suddenly appeared, be so strong?! Their Ye Lan Team had been in Cloud Mist City for so long, but they had never heard of an expert who could fight a Molten Flame Demon Dog alone. ¡°By the way, Ya, do you have a way to detect if there¡¯s poison in the Immortal Pill he left behind?¡± Ye Lan suddenly thought of the porcelain bottle. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll try it now.¡± Ya hurriedly poured out the Healing Immortal Pill that Zhang Feng had left behind. ¡°I can¡¯t detect anything, but I don¡¯t think he needs to go to all this trouble if he wants to harm us.¡± After casting a spell, Ya Shi shook her head. A voice said, ¡°Sister Ye, let me try.¡± ¡°Jiu You, you¡¯re awake. How do you feel now?¡± Ye Lan asked quickly when she heard the voice. ¡°I don¡¯t feel well at all,¡± Jiu You said with a wry smile. She caught her breath briefly before continuing. ¡°But when the man came over earlier, I could feel there was no malice in him.¡± ¡°You want to eat that Immortal Pill? Have you decided?¡± Ye Lan asked seriously. Ye Lan respected her team members¡¯ decisions, but their relationship was more like sisters than superior and subordinate. Therefore, Ye Lan definitely did not want to see anything happen to Jiu You. ¡°Yes.¡± Jiu You nodded. Ya listened and fed the Healing Immortal Pill to Jiu You. ¡°I hope nothing happens. If anything happens to Jiu You, no matter how strong you are, I¡¯ll make you pay the price.¡± Ye Lan looked at Zhang Feng with a burning gaze. ¡°Achoo, a shiver just went down my spine. Don¡¯t tell me someone is thinking of me.¡± Zhang Feng, who was walking towards the Molten Flame Demon Dog, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose as he muttered to himself. When the Healing Immortal Pill entered Jiu You¡¯s mouth, it instantly turned into a warm current and began to repair the injuries on her body. They could see how fast the burn wounds from the flames healed and returned to normal skin. In less than a quarter of an hour, the injuries on Jiu You¡¯s body disappeared without a trace. If not for the residual blood, no one would have believed that her body had scars that were difficult to recover from a second ago. ¡°Sister Ye, I feel that all my injuries have healed.¡± Jiu You closed her eyes to feel it before opening them. She was serious. ¡°All healed? Are you sure?¡± Ye Lan couldn¡¯t believe it. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want Jiu You to recover, but the effect of this Immortal Pill was too incredible. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m sure.¡± Jiu You nodded. ¡°There¡¯s actually such a magical Immortal Pill.¡± Lanna Qiqin picked up the pill, her eyes shining ¡°This kind of effect is totally a miracle,¡± Ya said, astonished. Ya had specially learned healing spells because of her interest, so she knew that healing was a very practical process. Compared to destruction, this kind of healing was much more complicated.
