Threat, Tracking

Lin Feng picked up the wine and downed it in one gulp.

The strong liquor entered his throat and slid down into his stomach.

There wasn't the same intense reaction as the first time.

Lin Feng felt a warm sensation rise in his belly.

Then, the warm current lingered in his stomach for a moment. Just as the energy was about to erupt, it was absorbed by the panel and converted into Improvement Points.

"One sip increased it by one point!"

"When I was in the late Skin Refining stage, one sip increased it by five points. Now it's only one point.

This decrease is quite significant!"

Lin Feng looked at the Improvement Points on his panel and sighed.

Still, it was pretty good. At least a mouthful of wine was equivalent to a meal for him!

After that, Lin Feng drank cup after cup.

By the fifth cup, he couldn't take it anymore!

His body felt like it was burning!

Five cups were his limit!

"It seems that not all of this energy can be instantly converted!"

Lin Feng muttered to himself, then sealed the remaining wine in a gourd.

He'd save it to drink tomorrow!

Today's meal, the slaughterhouse earnings, plus half a gourd of Great Drunken Immortal Brew, had given him a total of nine Improvement Points!

Lin Feng didn't put the nine points into his cultivation level.

He planned to accumulate more tomorrow and then make a breakthrough all at once, directly raising his cultivation to the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm. At that time, his cultivation and combat strength would increase significantly!

With two martial skills at their peak, he wouldn't be afraid even if someone in the late Bone Forging Realm came at him!

"Hall Master Sun, how is it? You wouldn't want your affair with Protector Gu's concubine to be known by Protector Gu, would you?

Tsk tsk tsk, knowing Protector Gu's temper, he'd probably wring your head off once he found out!"

Xu Qiang said with a sinister smile to Sun Ming, the Hall Master of the Green Snake Gang, standing before him.

Sun Ming's hands were covered in bulging veins!

A surge of anger and fear grew within him!

His originally fair and handsome face contorted into an ugly expression.

"Captain Xu, he's a student of the Demon Purging Division! The Demon Purging Division, you dare to lay a hand on someone from the Demon Purging Division?"

Sun Ming gritted out.

"Heh heh, although he's a student, he's still just a martial artist in the late Skin Refining stage!

Are you, Hall Master Sun, a powerful expert in the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm, afraid of someone in the late Skin Refining stage?

If you assassinate him, you might still have a chance to survive. If you don't, and fall into Protector Gu's hands, Hall Master Sun, you'll surely die!"

Xu Qiang looked completely confident as he continued to threaten Sun Ming.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ming's eyes lost their luster.

He couldn't understand how Xu Qiang had found out about his private meeting with Protector Gu's concubine.

Now he had been caught red-handed.

Xu Qiang was threatening him into assassinating that Demon Purging Division student named Lin Feng. If he did it, it would be giving them an even bigger handle to hold over him!

"Isn't our life and death from now on dependent on the other party's mood?"

"No! No matter how much you talk, he's still a Demon Purging Division student. Asking me to provoke the Demon Purging Division is giving me too much credit, Captain Xu!"

Sun Ming said coldly.

"Heh, since Hall Master Sun doesn't want to do it, I won't force you. Go over to Hall Master Gu's side now. He probably hasn't rested yet!"

As he spoke, Xu Qiang stood up, about to leave.

"Wait! It's difficult, yes.

But I didn't say I wouldn't do it!

I want more money!

Two thousand taels, and a Bone Forging Pill!"

Sun Ming's tone changed, and he spoke!

"Good! Hall Master Sun is straightforward! The one thousand taels just now will be the deposit. As for the Bone Forging Pill, it's not easy for even me to obtain!

It will take time!

I'll give it to you after the mission is completed."

Xu Qiang said.

"No! You must give me the Bone Forging Pill before the operation at least.

Acting within the city is too dangerous. We should wait until that brat leaves the city to make a move.

Otherwise, if the attack fails and attracts attention, the end result will be death!

This period should be enough for Captain Xu to get the Bone Forging Pill, right?"

Sun Ming said.

Xu Qiang's brows furrowed slightly! He glanced at Sun Ming.

Sun Ming, however, looked straight ahead, completely unfazed by Xu Qiang's gaze.

"Fine! But Hall Master Sun, don't play any tricks!

And don't even think about secretly leaving Kaiyang County!

Since I can discover your secret, I naturally have ways to track your movements!"

In the end, Xu Qiang agreed to Sun Ming's demand for more money.

If you want someone to do this dangerous thing, you naturally have to pay a certain price.

As for the Bone Forging Pill, I can only ask the Chief Constable!

The next day, Lin Feng, as usual, went to the slaughterhouse for +2, and then to the Demon Purging Division for +2.

At the Demon Purging Division, he still practiced his saber techniques and strengthened his body.

At noon, he still brought back a meal from the cafeteria for General Ding.

To his surprise, after he returned home, the owner of the slaughterhouse, Wu Lao San's brother-in-law, Pan Liancheng, along with Wu Lao San, came to visit him, bringing some precious meat.

And Zhao Sheng, after the previous incident, gritted his teeth, borrowed some money, and took out all his savings from the past few years.

He bought a house in the outer city.

Coincidentally, they came to find him together, inviting Lin Feng over for a drink!

Afterward, Lin Feng went to Zhao Sheng's place with Pan Liancheng and Wu Lao San to drink and eat.

Lin Yu was already busy there.

Pan Liancheng was a businessman. Besides running the slaughterhouse, he also had a small shop in the outer city.

Naturally, he was happy to make more connections.

Lin Feng could see that although Pan Liancheng appeared prosperous on the surface, he lived a life of constant anxiety, treading on thin ice.

This was solely because his martial arts cultivation was not strong, and he had no backing.

He only managed to establish a foothold in the outer city by relying on bribes and connections.

On Wu Lao San's account, he didn't mind helping him out if he could.

But if it exceeded his capabilities, it was absolutely impossible!

After eating and drinking their fill, Lin Feng walked home alone.

However, halfway home, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. He placed his right hand on the butcher knife at his side.

Then he looked back.

It was as if a figure had flashed by, followed by several light footsteps.

Lin Feng chased after them but found himself in a dead-end alley with no one there!

"Could it be that I drank too much and saw things?"

Lin Feng shook his head, murmured, and left the place directly.

A moment later, a figure appeared in the darkness.

"What an alert kid!

Looks like I can't just follow him anymore!

Otherwise, I'll scare the snake and alert the enemy."

As he spoke, the person stomped his foot, leaped over the wall, and left the place.

After a while longer, Lin Feng walked out from a corner!

His perfected Gale Leg Technique allowed him to come and go without a trace. The other party hadn't noticed him at all. In this short time, he had already doubled back.

"Judging by his build and aura, it's not Xu Qiang!

It seems they've really sent someone to keep an eye on me!

It looks like at least a Bone Forging Realm cultivation level.

Sigh, their wicked intentions are still alive!"

Lin Feng sighed and then walked quickly towards his home.

He needed to hurry up and improve his cultivation!
