Chapter 521: The Legendary Tycoon!
Chapter 521: The Legendary Tycoon!
"No wonder the Sky Demon Forest suddenly had an outbreak of demonic qi. The Sky Demon Forest is too dangerous right now!"
Wang Tianlin looked at Ling Feng and advised, "Little Feng, I know you're not an ordinary person, but the demon race experts are formidable. Maybe you should wait for things to settle down before entering the Sky Demon Forest."
Although Ling Feng never explicitly said he wanted to go to the Sky Demon Forest, his eagerness to obtain elemental herbs made his intentions clear. Wang Tianlin, being an experienced person, naturally saw through this.
"Heh, if I wait for things to settle down, there won't be any point in going to the Sky Demon Forest."
Ling Feng smiled. "Senior Wang, I might need to stay for a few more days before heading to the Sky Demon Forest."
The Nanjiang demon domain was fraught with danger. Any increase in strength would be added security.
Having just obtained a large amount of Earth-Fire True Essence, it was sensible to upgrade his Fire of the Earth's Core to the Earth Vein's True Fire before entering the Sky Demon Forest.
"No need to be formal. Stay as long as you like, Little Feng."
Wang Tianlin agreed readily. He would be thrilled if Ling Feng stayed forever.
...
Three days passed in a flash.
During these few days, Ling Feng had been diligently practicing the Art of Devouring Flame taught by the despicable donkey and continually merging the power of the Earth-Fire True Essence to evolve his Fire of the Earth's Core into the Earth Vein's True Fire.
The process was not as smooth as expected. The Earth Vein's True Fire was much higher in tier than the Fire of the Earth's Core, making the advancement challenging.
For three consecutive days, Ling Feng stayed inside, his room emanating intense heat and creating the illusion that the entire mansion might burn down at any moment.
Fortunately, Ling Feng was successful after three days, evolving his Fire of the Earth's Core into the Earth Vein's True Fire.
This marked the first step in evolving his controlled otherworldly fire into the legendary Devouring Flame.
Swoosh!
With a flash, Ling Feng flew out of the courtyard, drew out the Eradicator of Realms, and channeled the Earth Vein's True Fire into it.
Flames flickered, and the Eradicator of Realms conveyed a sense of immense joy to Ling Feng. Compared to the mild Fire of the Earth's Core, the Eradicator of Realms clearly preferred the new Earth Vein's True Fire.
With the Earth Vein's True Fire, the power of Scorching Sky Blaze can be increased by at least threefold!
Ling Feng squinted. The past three days have not been wasted.
"Congratulations, Little Feng, on advancing your strength!"
Wang Tianlin's voice came from outside the courtyard. From the intense and scorching aura emanating from Ling Feng, Wang Tianlin knew that Ling Feng had made a significant breakthrough.
Ling Feng retracted the Eradicator of Realms and smiled at Wang Tianlin. "Alright, Senior Wang, I've been a bother for many days. It's time for me to leave."
"Leaving so soon? Ah..."
Wang Tianlin sighed. "All good things must come to an end. Little Feng, I believe that one day, you will make a name for yourself across the Tianbai Empire. Do drop by if you ever pass by Iron Wolf City."
"I will."
Ling Feng nodded. As he was about to leave, he suddenly turned to Wang Tianlin and asked, "Senior, where is the Skull Gang's base?"
"Little Feng, you don't mean to..." Wang Tianlin was slightly taken aback. Does Ling Feng intend to single-handedly take on the Skull Gang?
Ling Feng pursed his lips and said, "Just tell me, Senior."
The Skull Gang had already formed a grudge with the Tianlin Chamber of Commerce. While Ling Feng was present, Guo Ao wouldn't dare act rashly, but once he left, the Skull Gang would surely seek revenge.
Since Wang Tianlin had treated him well these past few days, Ling Feng decided to help remove this hidden threat as a way of repaying Wang Tianlin's kindness.
Moreover, the Skull Gang had committed many atrocities, and eliminating them would be a service to the people.
Wang Tianlin, being wise and experienced, immediately understood Ling Feng's intentions. He bowed deeply to Ling Feng, saying gratefully, "Little Feng, I truly don't know how to thank you."
Then, Wang Tianlin told Ling Feng the specific location of the Skull Gang.
"Alright, I understand."
Ling Feng clasped his fists in a salute to Wang Tianlin and then deployed his Boundless Sword Steps. Within a few leaps, he disappeared from the small courtyard.
Besides Wang Tianlin, who watched Ling Feng leave, a delicate young girl also silently watched him go from the shadows of the courtyard. Tears filled Wang Caiwei's beautiful eyes and finally rolled down her cheeks. As Ling Feng's figure vanished completely, she couldn't hold back anymore and broke into sobs, her body trembling.
"Ah, silly girl."
Wang Tianlin gently patted his daughter's back. With Ling Feng gone, their lives would never intersect again.
His silly daughter was destined for heartbreak.
...
"I didn't expect the Skull Gang to have such a significant presence in Iron Wolf City!"
About fifteen minutes later, Ling Feng arrived in the southern part of the city in front of a grand building.
The Tianbao Pavilion!
This was the largest trading hub for valuable items in Iron Wolf City, holding a higher status than the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce branch located here.
If I want to draw out Guo Ao, causing a commotion at his Tianbao Pavilion should be a good choice.
Ling Feng touched his nose, a smile forming on his lips.
According to Wang Tianlin, the Skull Gang's main base was highly secretive, and no one knew its exact location. However, the Tianbao Pavilion was the Skull Gang's largest enterprise in Iron Wolf City, and Guo Ao, along with other high-ranking members of the Skull Gang, frequently appeared here.
With a flick of his sword-like eyebrows, Ling Feng strode into the Tianbao Pavilion's hall.
Usually, this would be the busiest place in Iron Wolf City, but today it was particularly deserted.
The hunting teams couldn't even leave the city gates, so how could they hunt demonic beasts and sell their materials?
Ling Feng entered the hall, where only a few people were scattered around. The number of attendants far exceeded the number of customers.
Seeing such a well-dressed young man walk into the Tianbao Pavilion, all the attendants were eager to serve him.
However, before they could approach, a middle-aged manager glared at them, causing the attendants to reluctantly step back.
"Hehe, honored guest, how can I assist you?"
The middle-aged manager, with a face full of smiles, approached Ling Feng. Business was so slow that even he, the manager, had to step in personally.
Ling Feng glanced at the middle-aged manager and then took out a Supreme VIP Card from the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce from his storage spirit ring. He arrogantly said, "Take me to the top-floor showroom. I only want the most expensive items!"
The manager's eyes twitched. His eyes lingered on the platinum storage spirit ring on Ling Feng's finger for a few seconds before focusing on the Supreme VIP Card. His heart pounded fiercely.
Could this be a legendary tycoon?
"Please... please follow me!"
The manager took a deep breath to calm himself. If he secured this deal, he could earn a substantial commission!
"Hmph!"
Ling Feng wore a haughty expression. After spending six months at the Tianwei Academy, he had seen plenty of spoiled young masters. Mimicking them was no challenge at all.
