881 Lu Ba’s Request for Help!
Lin Feng looked at the acquired lifeforms in the internal universe again. After defeating the Innate Five Elements Spirit Beasts, they seemed to have become the rulers of the universe. All kinds of internal conflicts also arose, and they were already on the verge of division. A shocking battle could erupt at any moment.
Lin Feng had only been paying attention to all of this, and did not interfere. This was because the rules of the internal universe were still operating, and were even in good order. As the number of lives increased, and as the universe was slowly expanding, even the universe origin had increased by a little. What reason did Lin Feng have to interfere?
Lin Feng’s consciousness returned to his body again. Then, he stood up and left the quiet room.
Outside the quiet room, after Ao saw Lin Feng, it rubbed against Lin Feng affectionately. Ever since Lin Feng allowed Ao to become an advanced Chaotic lifeform, Ao grew closer and closer to Lin Feng.
“All right, all right. Has anyone come to look for me recently?”
Lin Feng patted Ao’s head and asked. Ao had manifested its true form now. This was the Hallowed Beast Continent, and Chaotic dire beasts dominated it. Hence, it no longer needed to transform into a snow-white dog and conceal its original appearance.
“Lu Ba was here?”
Lin Feng nodded. He had been in the quiet room for a full month this time. Lu Ba must have come to look for Lin Feng for something. Unfortunately, he had been driven away by Ao.
Ao was not that “reasonable”. It was just a Chaotic dire beast, and an advanced dire beast at that. However, Lu Ba could not do anything to it at all. He even had to be careful, and be wary of angering Ao. Even though there was an array in this courtyard, as Lu Ba’s strength was suppressed by half, he was far from Ao’s match.
“Let’s go and ask Lu Ba what’s the matter.”
Lin Feng left the courtyard with Ao to find Lu Ba.
Led by the maidservant, Lin Feng walked towards the living room. Lu Ba seemed to be receiving a “distinguished guest” today, and they had been talking in the living room for an hour.
From afar, Lin Feng heard an unfamiliar voice. “Lu Ba, 10,000 Chaotic prime crystals, not a single cent less. In addition to the interest, you have to pay 12,000 Chaotic prime crystals back. The final deadline is in three days. In three days, if you don’t pay it back, this residence of yours and all the Chaotic artifacts on you will be taken.
“By the way, if it’s still not enough, you will have to report to the Bloodshed Squad, and fight those Chaotic dire beasts outside the city.”
“What? Three days? Three days are not enough at all. If I have more time, I will definitely be able to gather 12,000 Chaotic prime crystals.”
Lu Ba’s face was pale. Actually, even if the other party took his residence and his Chaotic artifacts, he would not be too desperate. However, if he was put into the Bloodshed Squad, he would truly be in despair.
The Bloodshed Squad was a bottomless pit, a meat grinder to any Chaotic Perfected Person who entered it, including advanced Chaotic Perfected Persons. There was even a peak Chaotic Perfected Person who entered the Bloodshed Squad for some reason, and fell in a huge battle.
The battle death rate of the Bloodshed Squad was over 90%, and less than ten percent of them usually survived. If one was forcefully put into the Bloodshed Squad, they would practically be doomed.
Hence, Lu Ba was very anxious, and begged the unfamiliar Perfected Person.
“Heh, Lu Ba, when you borrowed 10,000 Chaotic prime crystals back then, we were very straightforward. There’s no need to say anything else. I’ll come back in three days!”
With that, the unfamiliar Perfected Person left the living room.
As soon as he walked out of the living room, he met Lin Feng and the others.
“Perfected Person Lu.”
“Perfected Person Lin?”
Lu Ba’s face lit up when he saw Lin Feng.
On the other hand, that unfamiliar Perfected Person, who had a burly build, was actually an advanced Chaotic Perfected Person. No wonder he dared to be so rude and unreasonable in front of Lu Ba.
“Eh? An Ao, and an advanced Chaotic dire beast at that. This is worth 20,000, or even 30,000 Chaotic prime crystals! Lu Ba, you have such a Chaotic dire beast hidden in your residence. If you can give me this Chaotic dire beast, I can give you another 10,000 Chaotic prime crystals.”
Lu Ba’s eyes lit up when he saw the four heads.
“No, no, this Ao belongs to Perfected Person Lin.”
“Perfected Person Lin?”
The other party had clearly seen Lin Feng as well. However, even he could not see through Lin Feng’s true cultivation level, so he did not dare to be too impudent for the time being.
“This Ao belongs to Perfected Person Lin? Are you willing to sell it to me for 20,000 Chaotic prime crystals?”
Faced with the unfamiliar Chaotic Perfected Person’s “aggressiveness”, Lin Feng did not even look at him as he walked straight into the living room.
“Huh?”
The unfamiliar Perfected Person’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking very displeased. However, in the end, he did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Lu Ba meaningfully, turned around, and left the Lu Manor.
Lu Ba hurriedly entered the living room and bowed to Lin Feng. “Senior, please save me.”
Lu Ba had no choice. He could only place his hopes on Lin Feng now.
“What is it? Perfected Person Lu, why don’t you tell me directly?”
Lin Feng also vaguely guessed that it was probably related to the unfamiliar Perfected Person just now.
As expected, Lu Ba said directly, “It’s like this. I once went to the Extreme Spirit Tower to borrow 10,000 Chaotic prime crystals for a profound cultivation technique. I agreed to return 12,000 Chaotic prime crystals with interest a year later. Originally, I had a plan to go out a few more times in a year, slay Chaotic dire beasts, and sell some things. I would definitely be able to gather 12,000 Chaotic prime crystals.
“Unfortunately, I was severely injured in an accident half a year ago. I spent almost all my previous savings before I recovered from my serious injuries. I was delayed for half a year because of this, and even borrowed some money.
“This time, I invited a few good friends and took the risk of luring an advanced Chaotic dire beast, the Terrestrial Dragon, out of the Hallowed Beast Continent. The goal was to kill this Terrestrial Dragon and sell it so that we can repay the debt to the Extreme Spirit Tower. However, I didn’t expect this Terrestrial Dragon to be so powerful that we couldn’t kill it at all. If not for Senior, we would probably have all been annihilated instead.
“There are only three days left until the one-year repayment deadline. Once the three-day deadline is up, the Extreme Spirit Tower will incorporate me into the Bloodshed Squad. The chance of survival in the Bloodshed Squad is slim. They fight with the Chaotic dire beasts outside the city every day. I’m afraid I won’t even survive for a day. Hence, may I be so bold as to ask Senior to save my life?”
At this point, Lu Ba could no longer care about anything else. He could only ask Lin Feng for help now. Otherwise, once the deadline arrived in three days, and he was really incorporated into the Bloodshed Squad, it would be too late for anything else.
“What’s the background of the Extreme Spirit Tower?” Lin Feng pondered for a moment and asked.
“The Extreme Spirit Tower is backed by Perfected Lord Extreme Spirit, one of the few Perfected Lords in Empyrean City!”
This background was too powerful. It was almost impossible to renege on his debt.
“12,000 Chaotic prime crystals. Is that a lot?” Lin Feng frowned and continued to ask, “Is there any way to obtain Chaotic prime crystals in the Empyrean City?”
“Senior, the most direct method is to go outside the city and kill Chaotic dire beasts. If one kills ordinary Chaotic dire beasts and obtain their carcass, they can be sold for 100 Chaotic prime crystals each. Advanced Chaotic dire beasts can be sold for 10,000 Chaotic prime crystals, and peak Chaotic dire beasts can be sold for 1 million Chaotic prime crystals. If I want to return 12,000 Chaotic prime crystals, I’ll have to kill 120 ordinary Chaotic dire beasts. That’s impossible in such a short period of time.”
At this thought, Lu Ba’s face turned even paler. It had not been easy for him to cultivate from the bottom tier to becoming a Chaotic lifeform. Who would have thought that one wrong move would lead to many more mistakes? Now, he was the one who had landed himself in deep trouble.
With Lu Ba’s strength, never mind three days, he could forget about repaying 12,000 Chaotic prime crystals even in three months.
“That advanced dire beast, the Terrestrial Dragon, has already been refined by my Chaotic artifact. Not even its carcass was left behind.”
Lin Feng said indifferently. In reality, he had used his internal universe to refine the Terrestrial Dragons. It had already been reduced to ashes. How could there be a carcass?
“What? I’m done for. I’m completely done for…”
Lu Ba despaired. Without the carcass of the Terrestrial Dragons, how could he return the 12,000 Chaotic prime crystals to the Extreme Spirit Tower?
