Chapter 74

As Lin Feng's voice fell, the fifth-tier Beast Fire inside his body.

In an instant, it was drawn by Lin Feng's spirit and began to move along a specific route.

Then, the energy inside the Beast Fire suddenly burst forth.

And Lin Feng's fighting energy level also began to rise rapidly.

From the original five-star Battle Master, it instantly jumped to six-star Battle Master.

Seven-star.

Eight-star.

Finally, it stopped at the peak of nine-star Battle Master!

"Holy shit, good thing I've been soaking in a body-strengthening medicinal liquid these past few months while practicing that secret technique, otherwise my body would probably have blown up."

Feeling the meridians swollen to the extreme and his flesh somewhat split and painful, Lin Feng muttered to himself.

However, after clenching his fist, the suddenly surging fighting energy.

This made Lin Feng feel as if one punch could kill his former self.

After adapting for a moment, he immediately took a specially made antidote from his storage ring, then took out a jade bottle again.

Inside, it contained a confusion drug refined from fourth-tier medicinal ingredients and the sleep-inducing fruit.

This sleep-inducing fruit's effect can cause a person to fall into a coma, and after being formulated by him, a four-star Alchemist.

Even if a Battle Spirit-level expert gets a bit of it, it will be very troublesome.

And this Gu Te is merely a four-star Battle Master.

Of course, aside from this, there are more convenient and easy-to-use poisons on the Seven-Color Poison Classic.

But Lin Feng used this instead of those poisons because he was afraid of accidentally killing Gu Te.

After all, he only wanted money this time; there was no need to kill Gu Te.

You know, Gu Te's younger brother is the Six-star Alchemist, Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire.

He currently does not want to forge a deadly feud with a Six-star Alchemist.

Although he has now looted Gu Te's possessions, Gu He might help find people, but he probably won't care too much.

After all, these things of Gu Te are not really precious to the Six-star Alchemist Gu He.

But if he killed Gu Te, the situation would be different.

Gu He would really mobilize all his connections to search for the killer of his blood relative.

Of course, if he were discovered by Gu Te to be his true identity, then he could only go all out to kill that Gu Te...

When the antidote inside his body began to take effect, Lin Feng quickly hurled the jade bottle in his hand hard into the room.

"Damn it, who dares to come here and cause trouble?"

As the jade bottle just approached the bedroom, it was sensed by Gu Te's soul perception as a three-star Alchemist, and he immediately shouted loudly.

"Bang!"

The jade bottle thrown by Lin Feng heavily hit the wall and then exploded.

Lin Feng had no time to respond to Gu Te at this moment; he closely followed the jade bottle into the room.

Upon entering, he also shut the window behind him tightly.

"Huh?"

As he closed the window, Lin Feng suddenly noticed that the window's weight seemed off.

He glanced back at the wooden window and discovered there was also a layer of black basalt inside.

"Hehe, this just happens to be convenient for him."

Seeing the stone slab that could block the leakage of fighting energy, Lin Feng smiled inwardly.

"Who are you?"

Seeing a black-clad person enter his room, plus being woken from a beautiful dream, Gu Te's face was filled with anger.

"Hehe, I heard the master's family is quite wealthy, so I've come to borrow a bit."

Under the black robe, unlike Lin Feng's usual voice, came a hoarse male voice.

"Damn it, you dare to come rob me at my door—do you know who I am?"

Hearing the words of this black-clad person in front of him, Gu Te knew exactly what the other wanted, and he spoke angrily.

You know, these treasures took him most of his life to accumulate bit by bit.

One could say these things are his lifeblood.

Now someone comes to rob him—how could he not be anxious?

However, in the short few tens of seconds while they spoke, the confusion drug had already permeated Gu Te's entire bedroom.

"Wrong, sleep-inducing fruit, despicable—you've poisoned me!"

Gu Te is also an Alchemist, naturally more sensitive to medicines; although Lin Feng deliberately provoked him, making him lose a bit of reason, he quickly sensed something was off, smelled the sleep-inducing fruit, and immediately cursed loudly.

Speaking, he immediately wanted to take out an antidote from his storage ring.

However, Lin Feng would not give him a chance; the fighting energy of a Battle Master peak surged rapidly along the cultivation route.

A single Crimson Fire Palm strike was forcefully slapped at Gu Te, interrupting his intention to take the detox pill.

"Damn it, who exactly are you?"

Seeing Lin Feng attack, Gu Te angrily asked again.

At this moment, he wished he could kill Lin Feng with his gaze.

But he also dared not block Lin Feng's fighting technique head-on with his body.

He had no choice but to temporarily forgo taking the detox pill, hastily employing his fighting technique to resist Lin Feng's attack.

However, Gu Te also knew how formidable the sleep-inducing fruit was.

There's no time to take the antidote pill right now; his mind is extremely panicked at this moment.

Moreover, he has never undergone any proper fight, his battle experience is severely lacking.

Although his Qi level is still much higher than Lin Feng's after using the secret technique.

But since the Sleeping Fruit's effects have begun to show, the combat power he can currently exert may not even reach the level of a Senior Fighter.

In the meantime, Lin Feng, who had used the secret technique, kept driving him back, his situation becoming dire.

Looking at the walls all around made of black profound rock, Gu Te felt extreme regret.

Had he not been worried about the safety of his treasures, having made the house airtight, he could have quickly shouted for help outside.

This also attracted nearby neighbors, scaring away the Hei Yi Ren before him.

But now, the surroundings are completely surrounded by black profound rock.

Even a Spirit Fighter couldn't break these walls in a short time.

The two of them, both below the level of Spirit Fighter, were fighting inside, and outsiders couldn't detect the slightest bit.

And Lin Feng, naturally, was also very aware of this.

So he also had no thought of quickly defeating Gu Te.

He simply kept Gu Te restrained, not giving him a chance to dispel the bewitching drug.

After exchanging a few moves with Lin Feng, those bewitching drugs began to take effect inside Gu Te's body.

Gu Te also sensed this, silently thinking 'Oh no,' after which...

He could no longer hold on and fainted.

Seeing that the obstacle had finally been resolved, Lin Feng's face instantly broke into a smile.

However, since Gu Te's treasures were extremely precious to him, he also feared any mishap.

After seeing Gu Te fall, he quickly approached him and took the storage ring from his hand.

Recalling the original story, he remembered that there was another storage ring, seemingly located...

Helplessly squatting down, he suppressed his nausea and pulled off Gu Te's pants.

Seeing the storage ring on it, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily a few times.

After scanning the room, he immediately walked to a nearby table and picked up the two candles on it.

Then, he removed the storage ring that was set on Gu Te's XX.

He quickly took off Gu Te's outer coat and wrapped the storage ring up.

After collecting the storage rings, Lin Feng began to ransack every room in Gu Te's house.

Although Gu Te's alchemy technique wasn't very strong.

But this collection was the richest Lin Feng had seen so far.

Even Hai Bo Dong could only surpass Gu Te in cultivation methods and combat techniques.

But in other aspects, Gu Te truly outmatched Hai Bo Dong by a notch.

As for Gu Te's traps, although Lin Feng merely knew of their existence, he didn't know the specific details.

But with the help of his caution and powerful spiritual perception, they also didn't play much of a role.

It merely slowed his scavenging speed a bit...

After some effort, Lin Feng had already stored everything in Gu Te's house into his storage ring.

Immediately afterward, Lin Feng began using Qi to attack the walls, searching for Gu Te's hidden treasure caves...

Soon, Lin Feng bombarded a certain wall, and the feedback sound seemed somewhat different.

He hurriedly cleaned the wall surface completely, and indeed discovered the existence of a hidden cave.

After some exploration, he finally opened the door of the hidden cave.

Instantly, the interior of the room felt like winter, with the temperature rapidly dropping to single digits.

Fortunately, Lin Feng is a fire-attribute cultivator.

Moreover, he possessed a fifth-tier Beast Fire on his person, so he wasn't affected much.

He slipped into the secret passage, walked forward for a few minutes, and arrived at a not-so-large stone chamber.

Lin Feng paid no attention to the items on the wooden racks inside the stone chamber.

His gaze was fixed firmly on the stone platform in the middle of the stone chamber.

There, there was a white jade box the size of a washbasin.

Although separated by a layer of white jade, Lin Feng could still sense the faint cold seeping out from inside.

"Ice Spirit Cold Spring!"

Gazing at it, Lin Feng unconsciously uttered its name.

He quickly came to his senses, rushed forward, and stored it in his storage ring.

Afterward, he swiftly collected everything else in the stone chamber.

After a period of searching, Lin Feng finally confirmed.

In Gu Te's house, there really wasn't anything valuable left.

Having just summoned the Purple Cloud Wings with satisfaction, he lightly flew out the window.

Of course, this valuable item does not include the outermost layer of black profound rock walls of the room.

Although those black profound rocks are valuable, tearing down those walls would easily attract the attention of nearby neighbors.

However, the black profound rock walls used to partition the rooms inside, which could be removed, have all been placed in his storage ring.

This material is extraordinarily sturdy and will surely find use somewhere; naturally, it shouldn't be wasted.

Flying to a secluded alley, Lin Feng quickly changed his attire.

Gazing at the risen sun, he headed toward the city gate.

After an unknown amount of time, in the room, the thin old man in a deep sleep twitched his fingers.

Soon after, he suddenly sat up.

After his gaze swept around the room.

He suddenly could hardly believe this was his own room.

He rubbed his eyes, then scanned the room again.

Looking at the originally small bedroom, it had become extremely spacious.

The several rooms inside his house had all merged into one.

"Damn it! You didn't even spare the walls!"

Seeing this miserable state, the furious Gu Te jumped up in a rage.

Then he tripped over his half‑removed pants and fell to the ground.

"Oh!"

Falling face‑first to the ground, Gu Te let out a confused cry from his mouth.

Suddenly, he felt something was off somewhere and hurriedly looked at his little brother.

There should have been a space ring on it originally.

But now it was completely empty!
