50: Meet the Drunk King Again

Fighting is forbidden here, and there are patrolling Cultivators maintaining order. Lin Feng naturally knew the rules, so he used intimidation to scare away that Cultivator. Seeing the troublesome Cultivator run off, the surrounding Cultivators who were watching the commotion immediately felt it was uninteresting.

Lin Feng asked the young man, "Fellow Daoist Qian, you said this Formation can trap Foundation Establishment cultivators. It seems this Formation must have some extraordinary qualities. Though I am untalented, I wish to purchase this Formation. May we speak in private?"

Qian Zhenxiu saw that Lin Feng had an intention to buy. From Lin Feng's actions just now, it was clear that Lin Feng was someone who wasn't short on Spirit Stones. Qian Zhenxiu's face showed excitement, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

Lin Feng then took Qian Zhenxiu to his residence and discussed the Formation he had with Qian Zhenxiu.

This Qian Zhenxiu was quite a down-to-earth person. He wasn't a Cultivator who came here to provide support, but rather a Cultivator from the Qian Family near Spirit Flame Mountain. The reason he came here was to sell the Formation he had refined, hoping to help his mother treat her injuries. A few years ago, his father unfortunately passed away after being severely injured in a fight with a Heretical Cultivator, and his mother, also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was severely wounded in that same conflict.

At that time, his parents jointly killed the Black Fiend Sect Cultivator who attacked them, but this battle resulted in his father's death and his mother's severe injury. The originally well-off Qian Zhenxiu suddenly became the pillar of his Family. Qian Zhenxiu's Spiritual Root Aptitude was a True Spiritual Root, which was quite good, but he didn't like to Cultivate and was very fond of Formations, and he was quite talented in the Dao of Formations.

Because of his parents' experiences, he devoted himself to researching Formations to deal with Foundation Establishment cultivators. Surprisingly, he actually managed to research one. But what good was it? His Qian Family had a single heir, and due to a lack of descendants, all the Family's resources were sold off, yet they still couldn't heal his mother's injuries.

Qian Zhenxiu also spent a lot of Spirit Stones researching Formations. His Qian Family was now destitute, and he had no choice but to risk coming here to sell the Formation in his possession, hoping to buy Spirit Medicine to heal his mother's injuries.

Lin Feng hadn't expected the young man in front of him to be such a filial son. His impression of Qian Zhenxiu immediately improved significantly. The young man told Lin Feng that he had spent three years and over three thousand Spirit Stones refining this Formation. If sold elsewhere, this Formation could fetch twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

His mother's injuries could only be cured by a supreme Medicinal Pill for Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Thousand Muscle Bone Restoration Pill, which retailed for nine thousand Spirit Stones. Therefore, he would not sell it for less than that price.

Lin Feng nodded after hearing this, also recognizing his filial piety. He thought that he, Lin Feng, having lived two lives, had never fulfilled his filial duty and felt deeply ashamed. He immediately agreed to pay nine thousand Spirit Stones, but he wanted to know how this Formation could trap a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Qian Zhenxiu earnestly began to introduce the Formation he had to Lin Feng. He was a bit shy when he first started talking to Lin Feng, but when he began to explain the Formation, his entire demeanor changed. He became not only eloquent but also extraordinarily confident.

From this, Lin Feng could conclude that Qian Zhenxiu was indeed a Formation Genius. After Lin Feng learned how to use the Formation, he expressed that he could purchase this Formation for nine thousand Spirit Stones, and could also offer an additional four thousand Spirit Stones for Qian Zhenxiu to help him strengthen the Formation.

Lin Feng requested Qian Zhenxiu to further strengthen this Formation, offering four thousand Spirit Stones as a deposit so he could return home and refine the Formation with peace of mind, and also gave him two bottles of Qi Condensation Pills.

Lin Feng gave him the Medicinal Pills partly to befriend Qian Zhenxiu and partly to encourage him to Cultivate well, as Lin Feng might need Qian Zhenxiu's help someday.

Qian Zhenxiu was deeply moved by Lin Feng's generosity. He immediately vowed to refine an even more powerful Formation for Lin Feng. Lin Feng obtained the Formation from Qian Zhenxiu, which was called the Small Five Elements Inversion Formation, capable of trapping Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lin Feng and Qian Zhenxiu exchanged contact information, agreeing that Lin Feng could seek out Qian Zhenxiu later to acquire the customized, strengthened version of the Formation.

Lin Feng and he agreed that the strengthened version of the Small Five Elements Inversion Formation would be ready for Lin Feng to pick up in six months to a year, as he had already conceived a stronger Small Five Elements Inversion Formation in his mind. For Qian Zhenxiu's safety, Lin Feng accompanied him to purchase the Thousand Muscle Bone Restoration Pill, and then saw him off from the Alliance Camp.

Lin Feng asked Qian Zhenxiu about his presence at the Alliance Camp, and Qian Zhenxiu somewhat shyly informed Lin Feng that the granddaughter of a Golden Core Elder here was a close friend of his. They had known each other for many years, and he was able to enter this place with a token given by that Golden Core Elder's granddaughter.

What Lin Feng hadn't expected was that Qian Zhenxiu had such a confidante. Qian Zhenxiu told Lin Feng that most of the Spirit Stones for refining the Small Five Elements Inversion Formation were actually provided by that female Cultivator. However, his confidante's cultivation wasn't high, and her Family didn't give her many Spirit Stones, so she could only intermittently assist him. Because she snuck out to come here with him, she was discovered by her Family Elders and taken away, leaving him to sell Formations alone here.

He had considered selling the Formation directly to the Alliance's shop here that acquired and sold Formations, but very few Cultivators could Cultivate and refine Formations, and the Alliance only had one such shop here. The shopkeeper of that store was the Elder who had taken away Qian Zhenxiu's confidante. Naturally, he dared not go there.

Lin Feng was somewhat speechless about this, not expecting this young man to have such good fortune. Because Qian Zhenxiu had the token for this place, Lin Feng saw him off. Fearing that he might encounter rogue Cultivators and ill-intentioned individuals on the way, Lin Feng specifically accompanied him for a stretch. This place was only about a hundred li from Spirit Flame Mountain.

And his Qian Family was near Spirit Flame Mountain. Qian Zhenxiu told Lin Feng not to worry, but Lin Feng thought Qian Zhenxiu was a bit naive. One should know that he had purchased Medicinal Pills worth nine thousand Spirit Stones, and if this matter were known by someone with ulterior motives, they would surely come to seize the treasure.

Lin Feng's guess was not wrong. Just as Lin Feng was accompanying Qian Zhenxiu halfway, they were stopped by four Cultivators. The leader among them was none other than Drunk Strong King, whom Lin Feng had offended. He brought three Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivators and blocked Lin Feng and Qian Zhenxiu.

At this moment, Drunk Strong King looked at Lin Feng and Qian Zhenxiu with an arrogant expression:

"Wang Sicong, right? You have many Talismans, right? Many Spirit Stones, right?!"

"Today, you've fallen into Drunk Strong King's hands. Hand over all your Spirit Stones, and I can leave you with a complete corpse, allowing you to die with dignity."

Drunk Strong King looked arrogant. He thought that by bringing three Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivators, giving him an advantage in cultivation and numbers, he could intimidate Lin Feng and Qian Zhenxiu.

Lin Feng didn't waste words with him but instead sent a sound transmission to Qian Zhenxiu, telling him to deliberately beg for mercy to stall the opponent, while he thought of a solution. Lin Feng put one hand behind his back, and a hairpin appeared in his hand, along with a bottle of essence blood.

Lin Feng didn't give the other party any chance to speak, and at this moment, Qian Zhenxiu was indeed speaking softly to the other party, begging for mercy. Hearing the plea, Drunk Strong King burst into laughter, mocking the two for being so presumptuous when they offended him.

Just as he was mocking Lin Feng and Qian Zhenxiu, the hairpin in Lin Feng's hand had already absorbed the essence blood from the jade bottle in Lin Feng's hand. The hairpin, controlled by Lin Feng, transformed into a streak of blood-red light and shot towards Drunk Strong King!
