"Why? Why aren't you dead yet?" Hu Ke murmured, his voice full of incomprehension.
Lin Feng lowered his head, leaned close to Hu Ke's ear, and said softly, "Let me tell you something. I actually died already. I just came back to life."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Hu Ke broke down completely.
Why were there people in this world who could come back to life? Why? That was the only thought in Hu Ke's mind.
Suddenly, a trace of madness flashed in Hu Ke's eyes.
"No one can kill me!" Hu Ke suddenly shouted. Then he raised his remaining hand, gathered his last trace of Primordial Power, and slammed it toward his own head.
Bang! Scared out of his wits by Lin Feng, Hu Ke had tried to kill himself, but failed. Lin Feng's arm had suddenly shot out and blocked him.
Lin Feng certainly wasn't going to let Hu Ke kill himself. A Qi Sea Fourth Layer expert was worth at least 4,000 Energy Points. How could Lin Feng pass that up?
Seeing Lin Feng stop him, Hu Ke thought Lin Feng intended to spare him, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
But the next instant, a massive fist smashed into Hu Ke's head.
Crack! Hu Ke's head burst apart, and the Energy Points were his.
Lin Feng had reaped quite a haul from this batch of Black Wind Bandits. His Energy Points had also reached 20,000, making this his richest haul yet.
An hour later, Lin Feng had searched every corpse. His gains were as follows.
First was a pile of healing potions, which Lin Feng put straight into his storage ring.
Besides the storage ring, Lin Feng had also obtained quite a few crystal cores.
After reaching the Qi Sea Realm, cultivating simply by absorbing Primordial Power was still too slow, so crystal cores were essentially a necessity.
And the crystal cores these Qi Sea Realm Black Wind Bandits had stockpiled had fallen right into Lin Feng's lap.
Lin Feng made an estimate. These crystal cores should be worth over a million credits-a huge profit.
Although Hu Ke's subordinates had yielded a considerable haul, what pleased Lin Feng most was still the storage ring on Hu Ke's hand.
His consciousness eagerly entered the spatial ring, and the first thing that greeted Lin Feng was a pile of crystal cores.
At the sight of that pile of crystal cores, Lin Feng couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.
A big shot really was a big shot. Loaded.
This pile of crystal cores had to be worth several million credits altogether.
Forcing himself to look away, Lin Feng turned his attention to two cultivation manuals.
With a thought, the two cultivation manuals appeared in his hands.
When he saw the first cultivation manual, Lin Feng couldn't help smiling.
Lin Feng had only just been thinking about getting a Body Tempering cultivation art, and now one had delivered itself to his doorstep.
With a Body Tempering cultivation art, Lin Feng would be able to clash head-on against Primordial Power using strength alone. He was delighted.
Yellow-grade, mid-tier Body Tempering cultivation art: Bull Demon Body-Forging Art.
Although its grade wasn't high, Lin Feng didn't mind.
To Lin Feng, cultivation arts were actually much the same as martial skills and secret techniques. They were all just ways to deepen his foundation.
As long as it wasn't some kind of effeminate cultivation art, Lin Feng wouldn't turn his nose up at it.
After he carefully read through the cultivation art, a new skill appeared on his skill panel: Bull Demon Body-Forging Art: level 0/9. Energy Points required to upgrade: 0/600.
A yellow-grade, mid-tier cultivation art was indeed more powerful than a yellow-grade, low-tier one, and upgrading it required considerably more points.
After reading through the Bull Demon Body-Forging Art, Lin Feng also gained an understanding of how strength transformed.
To clash head-on against Primordial Power using strength, scattered strength first had to be unified into force.
The force of Body Tempering martial artists corresponded to the Primordial Power of Qi-refining martial artists.
However, force existed only within the body and was used to strengthen the flesh. When Body Tempering martial artists fought, they still relied on physical strength.
Once he reached the beginner level of the Bull Demon Body-Tempering Art, his body would generate force, and his strength would become concentrated rather than scattered.
Upon reaching the peak of the Qi Sea Realm, his force would need to transform further.
Lin Feng didn't know what changes his force would undergo then, because the Bull Demon Body-Tempering Art could only be cultivated to the peak of the Qi Sea Realm.
