Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Taking a deep breath, Lio Zhong’s gaze tightened, and he glared coldly at Ling Feng.

With his back to Lio Yunyan, he said in an icy voice, ”Young Miss, originally I didn’t intend to meddle in this matter, but this brat is truly shameless. Your temper is too soft, your heart too kind, you won’t refuse people. But some trash, parasites, mustn’t be indulged!”

With that, Housekeeper Lio’s eyes shot out a sharp light, like a chilling sword gleam, as if he wanted to skewer Ling Feng on the spot.

”Brat, if you know what’s good for you, get out of the Lio Family obediently!”

If it were an ordinary person, under the cold, harsh gaze of a King-level Expert, their legs would probably have gone weak long ago and they’d drop to their knees.

But Ling Feng was completely unaffected, instead directly ignoring the housekeeper’s gaze. He only looked at Lio Yunyan and explained calmly, ”Miss Lio, I just need some capital. Within three days, I can repay it a hundredfold.”

”Repay a hundredfold?”

Xiao Cui laughed. ”You pretty boy, you brag without even drafting it first!”

Lio Zhong, however, showed a trace of shock on his face.

Ling Feng was clearly a normal person without the slightest cultivation, yet he could withstand his kingly pressure?

Just this point alone was enough to prove that this Ling Feng was anything but ordinary!

”Xiao Cui, if you keep flapping your mouth like this, I’ll have to punish you!”

Lio Yunyan lightly scolded Xiao Cui, then turned her gaze to Ling Feng, and said gently, ”Young Master Ling, ten thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones is not a small number. If it were at any other time, it might not be much, but at this critical juncture...”

With a soft sigh, Lio Yunyan continued, ”Here are three thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones. Please take them, Young Master. There’s no need to repay a hundredfold; just treat it as a little gift from me to support you. I hope you can heal your hidden injuries soon.”

”Miss!”

Xiao Cui stomped her leg in anger. ”This brat is obviously here to scam food and drink, yet you’re giving him so many Upper Grade Elemental Stones! If you ask me, we should just throw him out!”

”Enough, Xiao Cui. Have you forgotten what I said just now?”

Lio Yunyan’s brows knit slightly. Only then did Xiao Cui bite her lip, her face full of grievance, glaring at Ling Feng so hard she was practically grinding her teeth.

In her eyes, Ling Feng had originally just been a freeloading pretty boy. Now he’d evolved into a shameless scammer living off others!

Ling Feng reached out and accepted the stack of Crystal Tickets in Lio Yunyan’s hand, with a face value of exactly three thousand Upper Grade Elemental Crystals. He carefully put them away, then cupped his hands to Lio Yunyan and said calmly, ”I won’t say much in the way of thanks. Once I, Ling Feng, give my word, it’s as good as set in stone. Since I’ve said I’ll repay a hundredfold, I will definitely repay a hundredfold.”

With that, Ling Feng turned and walked out of the study.

”Take care, Young Master Ling.”

Lio Yunyan watched Ling Feng leave, then sat back down in her original seat. As for the so-called hundredfold repayment, she didn’t take it to heart at all.

”Miss, you’re really too kind. Someone like him...”

As soon as Ling Feng left, Xiao Cui couldn’t hold back anymore. Having stewed in anger, she was about to start listing all of Ling Feng’s faults.

”Enough, it’s nothing.” Lio Yunyan cut her off and said mildly, ”Everyone has times when they fall on hard days. If you were trapped in a predicament, wouldn’t you hope someone would lend you a hand?”

”But...but...”

Xiao Cui stammered for a long time, but in the end still couldn’t come up with anything.

”Miss.”

Just then, Lio Zhong, who hadn’t spoken all this time, suddenly opened his mouth, immediately drawing the attention of Lio Yunyan and Xiao Cui. ”This person is not simple.”

”Uncle Zhong, did you see something?” Lio Yunyan asked.

Lio Zhong shook his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, ”I can’t read him. He seems to be in his twenties, but his mindset is as composed as still water, not something ordinary people can compare to. He’s more like someone who’s weathered life-and-death trials and hardships. Besides, we know nothing of his background. Clearly he has no cultivation at all, yet he remains calm and unruffled, with an extraordinary bearing—obviously his origins are far from common.”

”Moreover, facing my King-level aura, he could still remain steady. Such composure and mentality are not what ordinary young men possess.”

After a pause, Lio Zhong continued, ”Putting all this together, this Ling Feng is no ordinary man! Miss, he might turn out to be a benefactor!”

”Tch, benefactor my foot. I say he’s more like a cheap scoundrel!”

Xiao Cui looked completely unconvinced. But since even Lio Zhong had said so, she didn’t dare look down on Ling Feng too much anymore.

After all, Lio Zhong was a King-level Expert, and in Yeruo City, he counted as a top-tier fighter.

Words coming from his mouth naturally carried considerable weight.

”In any case, I’ve only done what I believe is right.”

Lio Yunyan smiled faintly. No matter who Ling Feng really was, she wasn’t pinning any hopes on him repaying her.

...

On the other side.

With three thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones on him, Ling Feng stepped out of the Lio Family for the first time.

”Three thousand... I wonder what the price levels are like on Milo Continent...”

All along, Ling Feng had never had to worry about Elemental Stones. Only now did he realize that even a hero can be stumped by a single coin.

Luckily, Lio Yunyan truly was a very good person.

”Three days, repay a hundredfold. I’ve already shot my mouth off—these few days, time to make money like crazy!”

Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile. He could clearly see that the Lio Family seemed to be troubled over Elemental Stones right now.

The reason he’d spoken of repaying a hundredfold had its reasons; he was also hoping to help Lio Yunyan ease their urgent financial crisis.

Very soon, Ling Feng arrived at the West Market and used the three thousand Elemental Stones on hand to purchase a large batch of medicinal herbs.

Three thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones couldn’t buy anything truly precious, but buying some Low-level Spiritual Medicine and refining them into Elixirs could multiply their value several times over.

Although Ling Feng had lost his Primordial Power Cultivation, his basic level in Alchemy was still there.

Alchemy doesn’t rely only on an Alchemist’s own True Fire; one can also use an Elixir Fire Array.

Fortunately, back when he was at the Heavenly Position Academy, Ling Feng had done quite a bit of research on Elixir Fire Arrays.

By drawing on the Spiritual Power within Elemental Stones to activate an Elixir Fire Array, then using his own Alchemy to refine some First-rank and Second level Elixirs, it was more than enough.

On the first day, Ling Feng bought a batch of medicinal herbs and also purchased the lowest-grade Alchemy Furnace he could find.

On the second day, Ling Feng shut himself up alone in a room and began frenzied Alchemy.

Early on the third day, Ling Feng hefted a sack of Elixirs on his back and rushed to the auction house in the West Market.

If you want to dump a large batch of Elixirs in one go, setting up a street stall in the marketplace is the stupidest method.

Selling to an auction house might mean losing a tiny bit here and there, but the speed is absolutely top-notch.

Elixirs are hard currency anywhere; you never need to worry about them not selling.

The Jiuxiao Auction that Ling Feng chose was one of the properties under the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion.

Naturally, they had a huge demand for Elixirs.

It’s just that, normally, they only needed to pick up goods directly from the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion.
