Permanent Martial Arts - Chapter 882

882 Exiting the City

Lu Ba was still in despair, but Lin Feng was deep in thought.

He also learned that cultivators on the Hallowed Beast Continent had a great need for Chaotic prime crystals. It was a circulating currency. More than that, it was a type of energy crystal that assisted cultivation in itself.

For example, if he had enough Chaotic prime crystals, Lin Feng could even condense a second Chaotic Hole. Compared to refining Chaotic dire beasts, it merely could not increase the universe origin, but could allow cultivating the Chaotic Hole.

Empyrean City required Chaotic prime crystals in every aspect, including cultivation techniques, Chaotic martial arts, Chaotic spells, and Chaotic artifacts. They were also used for rent, and people even used them for hiring some Chaotic Perfected Persons to protect themselves on expeditions, and so on.

!!
The Chaotic prime crystals were the universal currency of the Hallowed Beast Continent.

For 12,000 Chaotic prime crystals, a dignified Chaotic Perfected Person was willing to risk dying.

Lin Feng looked deeply at Lu Ba. Whether Lu Ba was expressing goodwill or being smart back then, all of that was fine. Lin Feng did owe Lu Ba one Chaotic prime crystal.

This was a favor! Lin Feng had always repaid kindness with kindness, and repaid enmity with enmity. Now that Lu Ba was in trouble, and Lin Feng was even living in Lu Ba’s residence, he would not stand by and do nothing.

“Perfected Person Lu, there are still three days left. That’s enough! Twelve thousand Chaotic prime crystals just means slaying one or two advanced dire beasts. I’ll return it for you.”

“Huh? Senior, this…”

Lu Ba was overjoyed, and a trace of incredulity appeared on his face.

“However, give me some information on the Chaotic dire beasts on the Hallowed Beast Continent and accompany me outside the city. I’ll make the decision. I’ll get 80% of the profits from the Chaotic dire beasts killed, and you’ll get 20%. Do you have any objections?”

“No objections. Thank you for saving my life, Senior!”

Lu Ba was overjoyed. Who was Lin Feng? A cultivator who roamed the Chaos, whose mount was an advanced Chaotic dire beast. Would it be very difficult for Lin Feng to kill advanced Chaotic dire beasts?

Even with the suppression of the Hallowed Beast Continent, Lu Ba believed that it would not be too difficult for Lin Feng to kill advanced Chaotic dire beasts.

As for taking only 20%, that was completely free. Lin Feng was helping him. What was there to be dissatisfied about?

If ten advanced Chaotic dire beasts were killed, even if he only received 20%, it would still be 20,000 Chaotic prime crystals. It would be more than enough to repay the debt to the Extreme Spirit Tower, and there might even be leftovers.

This was an opportunity. How could Lu Ba not be overjoyed?

“No need to celebrate so soon. There’s also danger in leaving the city. If you really encounter danger, I may not be able to protect you. Therefore, you have to think carefully.”

“Senior, if I die, it’ll be due to my own luck. I’ll give you the information on the Chaotic dire beasts now.”

Hence, Lu Ba brought Lin Feng all the detailed information he had collected over the years about the Hallowed Beast Continent, especially the Chaotic dire beasts near Empyrean City, for Lin Feng to read through it carefully.

Lin Feng was indeed reading through it carefully. This was all important information. The Hallowed Beast Continent was the world of Chaotic dire beasts. If one did not know the strength of Chaotic dire beasts, they would practically be courting death.

“Its strength can also be enhanced?”

Lin Feng saw that not only would a kind of Chaotic dire beasts not be suppressed in strength, its strength would even be enhanced. It was incredible.

Lu Ba explained, “Senior, there’s something you don’t know about how the Hallowed Beast Continent came about. It’s rumored that after a Chaotic hallowed beast fell, it gradually seeped into the continent. Over time, many Chaotic dire beasts were gradually born. Those Chaotic die beasts born with the purest aura of Hallowed Beasts are favored by the Hallowed Beast Continent, and are its royalty! As long as they’re its royalty, not only will they not be suppressed by the special environment of the Hallowed Beast Continent, their strength would even be enhanced. They’re very terrifying.”

“I see.”

Lin Feng nodded. As for the legend that a Chaotic hallowed beast had fallen on this continent, Lin Feng did not comment. Perhaps there was no smoke without fire. There should be some sign.

However, even Lin Feng had only seen Chaotic hallowed beasts in ancient texts. Forget about Lin Feng, it was very rare for even Perfected Lords to see true Chaotic hallowed beasts.

Lin Feng already had a rough understanding of the strength of the Chaotic dire beasts.

“How about this? We’ll set off tomorrow morning in the northwest direction outside the city.”

“Northwest? That’s mainly the territory of the Poison Dragon and the Three-eyed Giant.”

Lu Ba analyzed it carefully and realized that be it the Poison Dragon or the Three-eyed Giant, both were extremely strong, but their speed was not fast, and their movements were slow. It might be easier to kill such Chaotic dire beasts.

Of course, it was only easier to experts who were far stronger than the Poison Dragon and the Three-eyed Giant. Cultivators who were weaker would instead avoid provoking these two Chaotic dire beasts.

However, since Lin Feng had already made his decision, Lu Ba could only obey.

“I’ll prepare some antidotes first. Poison Dragons are highly venomous.”

Lin Feng nodded and let Lu Ba make the preparations.

…

The next day, Lin Feng and Lu Ba arrived at the city gate together.

A cultivator who knew Lu Ba mocked, “Perfected Person Lu, are you going out of the city to risk your life? But there are powerful Chaotic dire beasts outside the city. You’ll be tempting fate if you go now. You might as well join the Bloodshed Squad directly. Perhaps if you’re lucky, you can survive.”

There were simply too many cultivators like Lu Ba who were at their wits’ end due to debts. There were even more who were incorporated into the Bloodshed Squad. Basically, such cultivators might as well be doomed.

“Hmph.”

Lu Ba gritted his teeth, but did not say anything. He had nothing much to say. If he could not return, it would be useless to say anything. However, he was not courting death this time. He believed that with Lin Feng’s guidance, he would definitely be able to return to Empyrean City.

At that time, these mocking people would naturally be ashamed.

“Senior, let’s go.”

Lin Feng nodded and rode on Ao’s back. They left Empyrean City and flew towards the northwest.

“Eh, that’s an Ao?”

“That’s right. I think there are four heads too. An advanced Chaotic dire beast?”

“Where did Lu Ba find such a powerful cultivator, who can use an advanced Chaotic dire beast like the Ao as his mount?”

“I think I heard that Lu Ba encountered a cultivator in the Chaos back then and brought him home. Is that him?”

“Lu Ba placed his bet on an unfamiliar cultivator traveling in the Chaos. How foolish. It’s not like Chaotic Perfected Persons traveling in the Chaos have never descended in our Hallowed Beast Continent before. But what was their outcome? Even advanced Chaotic Perfected Persons have more than 30% of their strength suppressed. Moreover, those Chaotic Perfected Persons were not familiar with the environment of the Hallowed Beast Continent. Many of them died.”

“That’s right. I’m afraid this Lu Ba and this Chaotic Perfected Person roaming the Chaos are both doomed.”

Some sighed, while others sneered. Most of the Chaotic Perfected Persons did not think highly of Lu Ba and Lin Feng.

However, no matter how the people behind talked, Lin Feng had already traveled far away on Ao’s back, gradually disappearing from everyone’s sight.
