60: Chapter 60 Requires Additional Payment

"What exactly did Grandfather leave for me?" Lin Feng looked up at Lin Hao and asked coldly.

"Hmph, do you think I would tell you?" Lin Hao let out a cold snort.

Having said this, he quickly turned around and left the Medicinal Pill Pavilion with his two companions!

He even forgot to buy the Medicinal Pill.

Leaving the Medicinal Pill Pavilion! Lin Hao couldn't help but pat his head in regret.

Today was truly a blunder! I actually let it slip in front of Lin Feng, letting him know about Grandfather's legacy!

Damn it, that legacy was something Grandfather obtained at the cost of his own life!

It is said to be a precious Medicinal Pill that can improve a Cultivator's Aptitude, with Heaven-Defying effects!

Before Grandfather passed away, he entrusted the precious Medicinal Pill to the Family elders for safekeeping.

He also instructed that only when Lin Feng reached the Core Condensation Realm could he claim that precious Medicinal Pill.

Because that precious Medicinal Pill was too tyrannical, only a Cultivator in the Core Condensation Realm could use it.

"What's wrong? Young Master Lin, why so gloomy?" Seeing Lin Hao looking distracted, the youth beside him asked in confusion!

"It's nothing!" Lin Hao shook his head and said loudly, "You all go back to the Jidao Martial Arts Hall first. I have something to do, I'll take my leave!"

Having said this, Lin Hao quickly turned around and ran towards the south of the city!

He needed to contact the people from the Poison Scorpion Organization and ask them why they hadn't taken action after so long.

Before long! Lin Hao successfully arrived at his destination!

This was an abandoned residence!

The gate had long since collapsed.

Inside the courtyard, weeds were overgrown, growing as high as one's waist.

After entering the residence, an eerie aura rushed towards him!

In the corner of the courtyard, there was quite a bit of excrement. A foul, fishy stench wafted through the air.

Lin Hao couldn't help but frown in disgust and cover his nose!

Then, he strode towards the main hall in front.

Entering the main hall!

Lin Hao took out a black token from his Storage Pouch.

On the front, a lifelike Poison Scorpion was carved.

It looked ferocious, as if it wanted to devour someone!

This token was the very token used to contact people from the Poison Scorpion Organization.

Anyone capable of obtaining this token must be a big shot with high status!

It was obtained back when Grandfather was still alive!

Because back then, Grandfather was a powerhouse at the Late Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Throughout all of Qingyun County, he stood at the Peak level.

Following Grandfather's passing, the Family also gradually declined.

Lin Hao held the token, went to the wall on the east side, and gently pressed it into the groove on the wall!

The token fit perfectly!

Creak...

Soon, the wall's Formation activated, slowly moving to the sides, revealing a dark, small door.

Lin Hao quickly stepped inside!

He strode forward along the dark passage within.

Finally, he arrived at a secret chamber!

Inside the secret chamber, a bronze lamp was lit, emitting a faint red glow.

Under the illumination of the red light, a man wearing a ghost mask was sitting there, looking up at him.

"What is it?" the man asked in a hoarse voice.

"I came to ask why the mission I entrusted has not yet been completed?" Lin Hao sat on the stool opposite and asked straightforwardly!

"Oh? What mission? Let me check!" the man asked!

"The mission to kill Lin Feng!"

"Hmm, wait a moment!"

Having said this, the ghost-masked man's thoughts stirred, and he took out a black Jade Slip from his Storage Pouch!

Then, through the Jade Slip, he began transmitting his voice to inquire about matters regarding Lin Feng.

A short while later!

The ghost-masked man put away the Jade Slip, looked up at Lin Hao, and said, "Because the information you provided was incorrect, it caused my Poison Scorpion Organization to lose one Spirit Gathering Realm Middle Stage assassin!

Therefore, you should bear this loss.

You must pay another ten thousand taels of silver before we can continue the mission and kill the target, Lin Feng!"

"What? The information I provided was incorrect? How is that possible?" Upon hearing this, Lin Hao couldn't help but shout, "Isn't that Lin Feng only at the Spirit Gathering Realm Early Stage?"

"Hmph, I said it before. Because of assassinating him, our organization has already lost one Spirit Gathering Realm Middle Stage assassin. Do you think this is something a Spirit Gathering Realm Early Stage Cultivator could accomplish?"

The ghost-masked man let out an unhappy cold snort and said loudly, "You must pay more. Otherwise, we will kill you first, then go to kill Lin Feng."

"But ten thousand taels of silver is too much. I don't have that much money!" Lin Hao said bitterly.

"That is not my concern. I will only give you three days. If you haven't brought the ten thousand taels within three days, then our organization will act quickly and send people to kill you, and we will not stop until you are dead," the ghost-masked man said coldly.

"If I pay you another ten thousand taels, can you guarantee that you can really kill Lin Feng?" Lin Hao asked, gritting his teeth.

In order to kill Lin Feng, he had already paid the price of ten thousand taels!

That money was something he had secretly asked his mother for!

If he asked for more, he would definitely get scolded.

"It will be foolproof!" the ghost-masked man said coldly, "This time, we will dispatch a Core Condensation Realm assassin to deal with him, guaranteed to be without any issues!"

"Hmm, alright, I agree. Within three days, I will definitely scrape together ten thousand taels and bring it here!" Upon hearing this, Lin Hao nodded heavily!

"Go slowly, I won't see you out!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao quickly stood up and left the secret chamber!

"Damn it, for the Heaven-Defying precious Medicinal Pill left by Grandfather, I'll risk it!" Lin Hao gritted his teeth inwardly, "Isn't it just ten thousand taels? Mother should still have some."

...

Medicinal Pill Pavilion!

Lin Feng waited quietly for a while!

The receptionist returned!

With a wave of her hand, ten pill bottles appeared in front of Lin Feng.

Each bottle contained ten Body Tempering pills.

A total of one hundred pills.

Lin Feng opened a bottle and sniffed it with his nose; immediately, he smelled a faint, exotic fragrance.

"Hehe, honored guest, rest assured. Products from our Medicinal Pill Pavilion are guaranteed to be high quality, with fair prices, and we do not cheat the young or the old!" the receptionist said with a smile.

"Hmm, alright. As long as the Medicinal Pill is fine, I will come again in the future!"

Lin Feng took out five thousand taels of silver banknotes and handed them over!

This was given to him by Hall Master Su Tongtian!

It hadn't even warmed up in his pocket before it was spent.

This is the expense of someone practicing martial arts; an ordinary Family truly couldn't afford it.

Lin Feng put the Medicinal Pill into his Storage Pouch and stood up to leave!

"Go slowly, honored guest, welcome back next time!"

Leaving the Medicinal Pill Pavilion!

Lin Feng immediately strode towards the Jidao Martial Arts Hall.

Along the way, his heart was still filled with heavy doubts.

Coming out to buy Medicinal Pills today, he had actually learned a massive secret from Lin Hao's mouth!

His grandfather, whom he had never met, had actually left him a legacy.

Moreover, judging from Lin Hao's tone and demeanor, that legacy was extremely extraordinary!

Even Lin Hao was obsessed with it, determined to obtain it.

"During that time back at the Lin Family, I only heard that Grandfather was once a super powerhouse at the Late Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm!

When he was alive, the Lin Family was the head of the four great Families in Qingyun County, crushing the other three great Families!

But ever since Grandfather died, the Lin Family has been unable to bridge the gap between generations and has gradually declined!

A legacy left by a Late Stage Divine Transformation Realm powerhouse must be of great use to me!

Since it was left to me by Grandfather, then I must take it back.

My things must absolutely not go to that dog Lin Hao. Otherwise, Grandfather would not be able to rest in peace in the afterlife!"

Lin Feng secretly clenched his fists.

He would not covet things that were not his own!

But things that belonged to him, he would take back no matter what.
