68: Eliminate hidden dangers

Lin Feng's attitude was resolute, and when Xing Ke heard Lin Feng's words, his heart also tightened.

A look of hesitation crossed his face, and after a period of internal struggle, he looked at Lin Feng as if he had made a decision.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, could you tell me who this person you wish to kill is?"

Lin Feng shook his head, looking at Xing Ke, and said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, this person merely has some background.

You only need to eliminate this person for me within three months after you reach Foundation Establishment.

As long as you are willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, the Foundation Establishment Pill in my hand will be yours."

Xing Ke looked at the Foundation Establishment Pill in Lin Feng's hand, at this moment, he wished he could snatch it directly.

However, he knew that this was Cangqing Market, and if he snatched the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would surely be pursued by the enforcement team, and Lin Feng might not let him succeed.

Finally, Xing Ke agreed to Lin Feng's request.

After swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao, he promised to help Lin Feng kill someone after reaching Foundation Establishment, and swore never to retaliate against Lin Feng afterward, nor to disclose today's events to others.

He pledged to complete this task at the cost of his Cultivation Dao; otherwise, his cultivation would not advance an inch, and his Divine Soul would be annihilated.

Seeing Xing Ke swear the oath, Lin Feng readily handed over the only Foundation Establishment Pill in his possession to Xing Ke.

The person Lin Feng wanted Xing Ke to kill was none other than Ming Ziling, who had tried to cuckold him and had been relentlessly pestering him.

Xing Ke knew of Ming Ziling, but he wasn't clear about their relationship.

During the days Lin Feng was away, waiting for him to return, Ming Ziling had visited Lin Feng's small courtyard multiple times.

Each time, she failed to find Lin Feng and would curse loudly, which caught Xing Ke's attention.

Because of this, Xing Ke was quite curious, thinking Lin Feng had been flirting around outside, leading to someone coming to his door.

Now it seemed his initial assessment of Lin Feng as merely a heartless man was wrong; Lin Feng's intentions were rather vicious.

Lin Feng had no idea of Xing Ke's thoughts; he merely made a simple plan with him, agreeing that they should not meet again afterward.

The two agreed that after Xing Ke reached Foundation Establishment, he would kill Ming Ziling in front of witnesses, and their relationship must be completely severed.

They would no longer associate with each other, and Xing Ke, having killed someone from the Cangqing Sect, would also need to leave Zheng Country.

After the two happily fulfilled their promise, Lin Feng felt that a large part of his worries had dissipated, and he resumed his diligent cultivation.

Although Lin Feng now had quite a few Spirit Stones, almost a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, in his hand, he knew that the Pill Formulas for Foundation Establishment cultivators to improve their cultivation were very expensive.

The Spirit Stones he possessed were not enough to gather even one, so Lin Feng once again returned to Alchemy to earn Spirit Stones, and diligently Cultivate in his free time.

In the time that followed, Ming Ziling found Lin Feng again.

Lin Feng refused Ming Ziling at the door, citing cultivation as an excuse.

Ming Ziling, who was only good-looking on the outside, was actually a shrew.

Blocked at the door by Lin Feng, she cursed him loudly, calling him a heartless man, saying that his father had introduced Lin Feng to the Sect, and now he was turning his back on them.

Lin Feng sneered inwardly; none of this family were good people.

However, to ensure that Ming Ziling's eventual death would not be linked to him, Lin Feng had no choice but to let her into his small courtyard and converse with her in a calm and friendly manner.

Ming Ziling demanded that Lin Feng marry her as soon as possible, and she wanted to bear him a big, chubby son.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's face turned green, and he almost couldn't resist striking her down on the spot.

In the end, Lin Feng still feigned compliance, telling her to wait a bit longer and assuring her that he would prepare for it later, so Ming Ziling shouldn't worry.

While entangled with Ming Ziling, Lin Feng continued to Cultivate.

At this point, Ming Ziling was already a dead person in his eyes.

Soon, Lin Feng received news of Xing Ke reaching Foundation Establishment.

Lin Feng secretly informed Xing Ke of Ming Ziling's whereabouts.

Ming Ziling couldn't stay put in the Market and often met secretly with the direct descendant of the Jin family.

During one of Ming Ziling's outings from Cangqing Market, she was killed by the already prepared Xing Ke.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Xing Ke killed Ming Ziling and then promptly left.

Xing Ke was also quite considerate; when Lin Feng gave him an additional Spirit Stone, he added a sentence.

"You stinking bitch, don't even dream of joining my Jin family."

This basically cleared Lin Feng of much suspicion.

Although Lin Feng and Xing Ke had some dealings, the Foundation Establishment cultivator Xing Ke had acted after disguising himself.

Lin Feng believed that no one would suspect him of killing Ming Ziling this time, because Lin Feng was merely an Alchemist, and his cultivation was not high; he could only refine Medicinal Pills for Qi Refining Cultivators.

No matter what others thought, they would not imagine that Lin Feng would arrange for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to act.

After Ming Ziling's death, when Lin Feng went to Cangqing Market to purchase Spirit Medicine, Ming Wufeng looked much older, and he no longer showed much interest in Lin Feng's arrival.

Lin Feng knew that this was Ming Wufeng's despair.

Whether his daughter truly died at the hands of the Jin family or not, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he didn't have the courage to question it, and the Jin family had no reason to explain to an aging Foundation Establishment cultivator, who had also disappeared without a trace after killing someone.

This matter naturally ended without resolution.

Having removed the obstacles that were hindering Lin Feng's cultivation, Lin Feng once again returned to his previous cultivation state.

Lin Feng Cultivated in Cangqing Market for a year and felt that he had accumulated enough Spirit Stones; in this year, he not only earned a hundred thousand Spirit Stones but also accumulated two hundred thousand Spirit Stones in his possession.

At the same time, he had also taken on a Sect mission by coming to Cangqing Market, so after completing his two-year mission, Lin Feng decisively returned to the Cangqing Sect.

Upon returning to the Cangqing Sect, Lin Feng, as an Outer Sect Disciple, went to the Sect's library to search for Pill Formulas for Foundation Establishment cultivators to improve their cultivation.

Lin Feng searched for half a day in the library, but he only found one Pill Formula concerning Foundation Establishment cultivators, which struck him as very odd.

The Outer Sect Disciple on duty at the library also explained to Lin Feng that the library primarily contained Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals; Pill Formulas were only possessed by the Alchemists of the Sect.

The one Lin Feng held was even discovered in the Immortal Cave of an Alchemist who had died without family or friends.

Lin Feng had no way to deal with the Cultivation World's habit of hoarding good things.

He took the newly acquired Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula and began to study it carefully.

The Pill Formula Lin Feng obtained was called Heqi Pill.

This Pill Formula cost Lin Feng one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

The reason this Pill Formula was so cheap was that it was a Pill Formula that almost everyone in the Sect could obtain.

As for those precious Pill Formulas, even if Lin Feng offered double the price, those old guys in the Sect might not be willing to sell them.

After obtaining the Pill Formula, Lin Feng felt that his refining Medicinal Pills for Foundation Establishment cultivators as a Qi Refining Cultivator would draw too much attention.

Therefore, Lin Feng found another superior Secret Manual within the Sect.

The Thousand Faces Phantom Body Technique, this Cultivation Technique can transform into a thousand different facial appearances and forms, each capable of mimicking others' looks.

Upon reaching the Major Achievement Realm, it can even alter one's aura, making it difficult for Cultivators to discern the practitioner's true identity.

Upon obtaining this Secret Manual, Lin Feng immediately abandoned his cultivation and spent the entire day practicing this Secret Manual, only Cultivating Body Refining and researching the Alchemy of Heqi Pill at specific times.

This Secret Manual was not particularly difficult to Cultivate; Lin Feng only spent three months to Cultivate it to the Minor Achievement Realm.

Aside from being unable to change his aura, Lin Feng could now freely switch faces, achieving a level of lifelike imitation.

At the same time, Lin Feng possessed solid Alchemy skills.

After three months of study and research, he had a clear understanding of the Alchemy process for Heqi Pill.

Next, Lin Feng planned to begin refining Heqi Pill.
