Compensation

"Buzz." "Buzz." "Buzz."...

The Blood-colored Bug vanished time and again, attempting to penetrate the world's membrane. But each time, they were blocked by the much thicker and stronger membrane.

"I've long heard that theft is common in Rain Ripple City, and seeing it today, I can see that the methods used in theft are indeed remarkable." The three Luo Feng clones in his inner world looked at the Blood-colored Bug and said with a smile.

"Let me out, and I won't bother you again," the Blood-colored Bug said, hovering in the air.

"Haha, you wanted to steal, so you did; you wanted to crawl into my inner world, so you did. Now you think you can leave?" The three Luo Feng looked at the Blood-colored Bug. "Too late!"

Enraged, the Blood-colored Bug flapped all six pairs of small wings at the same time, vanished instantly, and reappeared near one of its clones.

That clone was none other than Luo Feng's 'Heaven Light Clone,' one of his five clone types.

The Heaven Light Clone is the most indestructible of the five avatars, its body resembling a divine weapon! Luo Feng also highly values this avatar, but its energy reserves are not high.

The more energy one possesses, the more the Heaven Light Clone will collapse and condense on its own, thus placing higher demands on Mind Will.

With one times the Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve, the Heaven Light Clone collapsed and condensed once.

With three times the Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve, the Heaven Light Clone collapsed and condensed a second time.

Ten times the Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve is the strongest form Luo Feng can currently maintain, having collapsed and condensed three times. As for a stronger form? Luo Feng's Mind Will cannot cause it to collapse and condense.

"Bang!"

The Blood-colored Bug itself was like a secret treasure, colliding with the Heaven Light Clone.

It was as if two secret treasures collided, leaving both completely unharmed.

"What? It's clearly the weakest clone..." The Blood-colored Bug was surprised.

"Town!"

The Heaven-Earth Clone merged with the inner world, and at this moment, the vast energy of heaven and earth formed a giant millstone, which is also one of the Ultimate Realm Secret Method the Life-Death Path created by Luo Feng, the 'Life-Death Grinding Disc'.

The giant millstone completely trapped the Blood-colored Bug- Blood-colored Bug, intending to crush it.

But this Blood-colored Bug's body was like a secret treasure, completely unafraid of being crushed.

"Not good." The Blood-colored Bug was trapped inside the giant millstone, constantly being crushed, and unable to escape.

"Luo Feng! You really want to..." the Blood-colored Bug roared angrily.

Luo Feng frowned upon hearing this. These thieving forces were truly astute in gathering intelligence. He had only just entered the city and registered his basic information, yet these thieving Xing Zhe already knew his name.

"Slay!" The Karma Clone beside him immediately unleashed a curse-killing technique.

Luo Feng has five types of clones: World Clone, Heaven-Earth Clone, Time Clone, Heaven Light Clone, and Karma Clone.

The Karma Clone possesses an exceptionally clear understanding of cause and effect, giving it an innate advantage that makes it well-suited for causal-based Secret Method! Luo Feng thus created the Ultimate Realm Secret Method, 'Sever Life Force', based on the Life-Death Path.

This invisible karmic curse primarily targeted the Blood-colored Bug.

"Ah!"

In just one moment, the Blood-colored Bug let out a shrill howl, and its life force weakened considerably.

"Stop, stop!" the Blood-colored Bug immediately cried out.

"A tiny insect can withstand one of my attacks?" Luo Feng was surprised. "Let's try again."

"I surrender, I surrender," the Blood-colored Bug said urgently. This Blood-colored Bug was one of the Three Great Natal Insects that he had cultivated at great cost. If the natal worm died, he himself would be seriously injured.

The key point is that his theft methods mostly relied on this insect.

"You think you can just give up and leave?" The three Luo Feng looked at him at the same time.

"I'm willing to compensate." The Blood-colored Bug was quite unwilling, but it could only obediently nod. Although the natal worm was like a secret treasure, the curse killing method was very effective against it. If it were hit again, the natal worm's consciousness would probably be annihilated.

"How much compensation can you offer? I won't accept anything less," Luo Feng said.

"I'm willing to pay 10,000 Primal Chaos Crystal," the Blood-colored Bug said.

Luo Feng chuckled, "You insect, it's not a clone, but it's just like one! It's much more valuable than ordinary Weapon Secret Treasure. I don't want more, just 200,000 Primal Chaos Crystal! If you lose even one Primal Chaos Crystal, I'll kill it right now."

"200,000 Primal Chaos Crystal?" the Blood-colored Bug exclaimed.

That's too much!

"I'll give you three breaths to consider. If you don't agree within three breaths, I'll kill it." Luo Feng didn't waste any words with it. He had visited too many shops before and had seen similar insects and heard waiters explain the requirements for cultivating them.

Judging from their encounter, Luo Feng estimated that the total cost of training the opponent should start at 300,000 Primal Chaos Crystal, and could even reach 500,000 to 600,000 Primal Chaos Crystal.

"Three, two..." Luo Feng looked at the Blood-colored Bug.

"Alright." The Blood-colored Bug reluctantly agreed.

"Give me some time, I'll send the Primal Chaos Crystal over soon," the Blood-colored Bug said.

"You should know where my cave abode is, right?" Luo Feng said. "Later, deliver the Primal Chaos Crystal to my cave abode. You give me the Primal Chaos Crystal, and I'll give you this Blood-colored Bug."

Even after acquiring the Primal Chaos Crystal outside, Luo Feng was still worried about being intercepted and killed.

It's safer to collect compensation in the cave abode!

"Fine," the Blood-colored Bug could only reply in grief and indignation.

Luo Feng nodded.

Call.

Luo Feng stopped browsing and immediately transformed into a streak of light, flying directly to his cave abode at supersonic speed. This was a deal worth 200,000 Primal Chaos Crystal, so Luo Feng naturally had to take it seriously.

"You want me to pay 200,000 Primal Chaos Crystal in compensation?" The short figure in the distance gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. "There are obviously problems with the organization's internal intelligence. This Luo Feng's methods are unpredictable, and with his many clones working together, he's too difficult to deal with."

He also quietly left to prepare the Primal Chaos Crystal.

"What? You were robbed and even trapped one of their special insects?" Emperor Qing looked at Luo Feng, quite surprised.

"That insect was quite formidable, silently infiltrating my inner world... but once it got in, it couldn't get out." Luo Feng smiled, realizing that his inner world alone couldn't stop the insect.

However, since the Heaven-Earth Clone is best suited to merge with a world, that's why the insect was imprisoned!

If there isn't enough compensation, I'll just kill this special insect myself.

"He already knows your name as soon as you arrive in Rain Ripple City. This means that the power behind him must be related to the elders of the Council of Elders." Emperor Qing said thoughtfully, "Of course, targeting a newcomer like you... the elders wouldn't be so idle. At most, it was an order from their middle management."

"Brother Luo He, if you take these 200,000 Primal Chaos Crystal, they will be watching you closely," Emperor Qing said.

"You think we can't take it?" Luo Feng asked Emperor Qing.

"There's nothing to fear about thieving forces," Emperor Qing said with a smile. "We come from the Source World and have clones! What do we have to fear except for High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform? Just be prepared that they might try to sabotage you in the future."

Luo Feng nodded.

A powerful being who emerges from the Source World has an avatar in their home Source World! When they venture out into the outside world, usually only the avatar dies in battle, and their treasures are lost.

Only those beings who have broken free from the Cage can corrupt their souls and cause them to die across the Source World.

"When you're out in the world, even if you're careful and avoid trouble, there will always be people who want to cause you trouble. This little trouble is nothing to worry about." Luo Feng didn't care. Since the other party had made a move against him, they would have to pay the price.

A moment later.

Guests arrived at the entrance of the cave abode.

"They're here." Luo Feng and Emperor Qing went out together.

A figure in Black Robe stood there, the Black Robe filled with mist that twisted and turned, observing Luo Feng Emperor Qing.

"Luo Feng, right?" The Black Robe figure distorted with mist. "Are you sure you want 200,000 Primal Chaos Crystal?"

"You can choose not to give it to me," Luo Feng said, looking at him.

Emperor Qing calmly watched the Black Robe mist from the side.

Those who emerge from the Source World possess an inherent arrogance! If it's a fight to the death, who's afraid of whom?

"Very good." The Black Robe mist nodded, and suddenly a cloth bag flew out from the mist. "Check it; there are 200,000 Primal Chaos Crystal inside."

Luo Feng reached out and took it, then probed it with his consciousness and nodded to confirm. "That's right."

Immediately, Luo Feng expelled the Blood-colored Bug imprisoned within his inner world with a single thought. As soon as the Blood-colored Bug emerged, it instantly disappeared.

The Black Robe figure turned and left.

"I was ordered to take down Luo Feng, but I failed this time. I can't pay the 200,000 Primal Chaos Crystal myself." The short figure and the Black Robe, misty figure returned to the interior of the enormous spherical creature.

The Black Robe shrouded in mist glanced at his subordinate and said coldly, "Observing the prey is the most basic ability. You failed because you were not capable enough."

His short stature made him look rather frustrated.

It's normal to make mistakes when stealing.

You might run into a brick wall and get caught. But if it happens even once, the price is too high. This time, the loss was a full 200,000 Primal Chaos Crystal.

"Remember, don't completely trust intelligence," the Black Robe in the mist said.

"He took so many Primal Chaos Crystal from me, and he's just going to let it go like this?" The short figure was quite unwilling.

"Emperor Qing is from the Source World, and Luo Feng should also be from the Source World," the Black Robe mist said. "Don't make a move against a God Emperor who came from the Source World. It's not worth it for a moment of pleasure."

The short figure was quite displeased.

You're the one losing money! Of course you don't care!

"We have to wait for the right opportunity, until the right moment arrives, and then strike... to make Luo Feng truly regret his actions." The Black Robe mist glanced at the short figure. "Killing a few clones of a powerful figure from the Source World won't do them any harm. We must seize their real treasure."

"Keep a close eye on Luo Feng. If you discover any information about him possessing valuable treasures, inform me immediately. After the operation is successful, I will give you ten percent," the Black Robe in the mist instructed.

The short figure nodded.

He was already looking for prey, so naturally he would keep a close eye on Luo Feng.

"Having just Nine Rivers Holy World, I am most in need of Primal Chaos Crystal." Luo Feng was quite pleased to receive this sum of 200,000 Primal Chaos Crystal. Combined with the one lent to him by Emperor Qing, he now has a total of 300,000 Primal Chaos Crystal.

I can finally indulge myself a little more.

Luo Feng immediately began a large-scale procurement. Each time he went out, he carried no more than 5,000 Primal Chaos Crystal. It took him three days to carefully observe and make dozens of purchases, spending more than 190,000 Primal Chaos Crystal to purchase all the necessary items.

"I'm starting my closed-door cultivation." Luo Feng looked at the pile of resources in front of him. The most numerous were the remnants of Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform, which included a bottle of blood, a feather, or Root Bone. He bought more than 300 of these remnants, with an average price of about 300 Primal Chaos Crystal per piece.

Compared to the profound mysteries contained in the Star Tower and the Life-Death Eye, the mysteries contained in these remnants of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms are much simpler! They are only slightly more profound than the complete Great Dao, and are easier to understand.

"Transform these resources into strength." Luo Feng began to calm his mind and cultivate.
