67: Chapter 67 is truly a money-giving boy!

Upon checking the Storage Pouch of the Black-robed Assassin, Lin Feng found quite a few treasures inside!

A thick stack of silver notes was neatly arranged. There were over thirteen thousand taels in total!

Additionally, there were three bottles of coagulation pill. These coagulation pills were exactly what a Cultivator in the Core Condensation Realm needed. Each pill was worth one hundred taels of silver! With thirty pills across three bottles, that amounted to three thousand taels.

Beside the Medicinal Pill, there were also two Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals! With a thought, Lin Feng took them out!

One was the blade technique Secret Manual, "Giant Wave Blade Technique." It was a High Grade, the same as the "Thunder Frenzy Saber" that Lin Feng was Cultivating.

The other Cultivation Technique was for enhancing speed. It was called "Ghost Shadow Steps." This Cultivation Technique had actually reached the Medium Grade level.

Besides that, there was an egg-sized, completely purple fruit kept in a translucent box! It was the Purple Smoke Fruit recorded in the "illustrated guide to rare precious herbs." Its effects were similar to the "millennium blood ganoderma," enough to save Lin Feng a month of arduous Cultivation!

"Haha, amazing, truly amazing! I didn't expect such a massive haul this time!" Lin Feng was in a great mood and couldn't help but look up and laugh wildly! His laughter rang out exceptionally loudly in the wilderness.

The silver notes, the Medicinal Pill, and that Purple Smoke Fruit were all secondary! What Lin Feng was most pleased with was that speed-enhancing Cultivation Technique—the "Ghost Shadow Steps."

One must know that Cultivation Techniques that enhance speed are extremely rare and hard to find! Furthermore, they are incredibly expensive, often priceless and unavailable in the market!

Most of them are held by those large Family and large Sect.

Just this Medium Grade "Ghost Shadow Steps," in terms of value, would cost at least seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver to purchase on the black market.

No wonder the Black-robed Assassin's speed was so fast earlier! It turned out he had been Cultivating this "Ghost Shadow Steps."

However, the Black-robed Assassin likely had not reached the Entry Level. He had only reached the stage of getting a glimpse of the path! Otherwise, it would definitely not have been so easy for Lin Feng to kill him.

If the Black-robed Assassin had reached the Entry Level with "Ghost Shadow Steps," he could have dodged blow after blow of lethal attacks based on speed alone.

Lin Feng was already Cultivating quite a few Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill! Things like "Jidao Fist," "Thunder Frenzy Saber," "Golden Bell Cover," and "Iron Shirt"! Yet, he still lacked a Cultivation Technique for enhancing speed!

Unexpectedly, just as he was feeling sleepy, someone brought him a pillow. Hadn't the Black-robed Assassin just delivered the "Ghost Shadow Steps" to him?

"Haha, the people from the Poison Scorpion Assassin Organization are truly generous gift-givers." Lin Feng said with a laugh. He suddenly started to like these adorable assassins.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng put everything into his own Storage Pouch! Then, with a flicker of his body, he flew away.

Not long after Lin Feng left! A Man in Black quickly rushed out from a dark alley in the distance. He arrived at the scene of the incident!

Seeing the Black-robed Assassin sliced in two, the Man in Black's eyes widened in rage. His face was filled with intense shock and disbelief.

"Damn it, how is this possible? Wasn't it said that Lin Feng was only in the Spirit Gathering Realm? How is it that even a Bronze-badge Assassin is no match for him?" The Man in Black muttered in exclamation.

The Poison Scorpion Assassin Organization had a very strict hierarchy. According to the Man in Black, assassins were divided into four Ranks. Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron. Iron-badge assassins were all in the Spirit Gathering Realm! Bronze-badge assassins were all in the Core Condensation Realm! While Silver-badge assassins were in the Divine Transformation Realm. Gold-badge assassins were above the Divine Transformation Realm.

This time, the Poison Scorpion Assassin Organization had sent a Bronze-badge Assassin to deal with a mere Lin Feng, which was already overkill. They had thought they could easily complete the mission! Unexpectedly, it ended up failing at the hands of Lin Feng.

This Lin Feng, merely in the Spirit Gathering Realm, could kill enemies above his Rank and powerfully counter-kill a strong expert in the Core Condensation Realm!

"No, I must report this news to the organization as soon as possible and re-evaluate the strength of that Lin Feng! Otherwise, if the organization sends assassins again in the future, they will also die in vain!" The Man in Black muttered to himself, then with a flicker of his body, he quickly disappeared.

Returning to the Jidao Martial Arts Hall! On the outer courtyard Martial Arts Arena! Senior Brother Li Qiang was leading a group of Junior Brother and Junior Sister, diligently Cultivating the "Jidao Fist" there.

"Senior Brother, I'm back!" Lin Feng greeted with a smile!

"Hmm!" Li Qiang nodded, his gaze sweeping over Lin Feng with complexity, wanting to say something but stopping himself. The remaining Outer Sect Disciple also stopped their Cultivation one after another! They pointed at Lin Feng and whispered amongst themselves.

"What's wrong?" Lin Feng asked suspiciously!

"Junior Brother Lin, I heard you went to the Qingyun Casino today and bet on yourself to win?" Li Qiang asked.

"Yes!" Lin Feng nodded, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, don't you know that the rumors about you outside are already flying everywhere?" Li Qiang said worriedly, "I don't know which bastard spread those rumors; isn't this intentionally affecting your Cultivation?"

"Haha, Senior Brother is worrying too much; those rumors have no effect on me whatsoever!" Lin Feng shook his head.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Li Qiang remained half-doubting. After all, the rumors outside were truly nasty! They all said that Lin Feng was overestimating his own capabilities and bringing humiliation upon himself. To put it bluntly! Now, because of the rumors that Lin Hao had sent people to spread, Lin Feng was known to everyone. He had almost become the laughingstock of the entire Qingyun County!

Li Qiang was still worried that this would affect Lin Feng's state of mind. Making him unable to calm down and Cultivate! Unexpectedly, Lin Feng didn't care at all. Based on this alone, Junior Brother Lin was stronger than him!

"Haha, of course it's true; they are just mere rumors. Won't I just break them with actual actions when the time comes?" Lin Feng laughed.

The reason Lin Hao sent people to widely broadcast that Lin Feng had bet a large sum on himself was because he was certain that Lin Feng would absolutely not be able to win in the upcoming tournament and take the top spot! However, what if Lin Feng could successfully obtain first place in the outer Sect tournament? Then all the rumors would become a massive joke! At that time, Lin Hao and those who spread the rumors would lose all face and become the real clowns. They would suddenly realize. So, the clown was actually me all along.

Therefore, saying anything more right now would have no effect! Only by demonstrating super strength in the upcoming Three Great Martial Halls Outer Sect Disciple tournament! And winning the top spot, could he make those despicable villains shut their mouths obediently.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Lin, you are indeed impressive; this mindset alone is worth learning for all of us!" Seeing Lin Feng's calm and indifferent appearance, Li Qiang couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration.

"Senior Brother is too kind!" Lin Feng smiled modestly, "Alright, Senior Brother, please call over those three Junior Brothers to help me Cultivate!"

"Hmm, alright, wait a moment!" Li Qiang nodded and quickly called over three Outer Sect Disciple. Immediately, the four of them surrounded Lin Feng and began to help him Cultivate.

Lin Feng took out a Body Tempering pill and swallowed it! Then he took a stance, unmoving as a mountain! With a thought, he silently activated "Golden Bell Cover." Bang, bang, bang... Li Qiang and the others punched, their blows landing on flesh, yet they couldn't harm Lin Feng in the slightest! On the martial dao panel, the progress of "Golden Bell Cover" was constantly climbing. "Golden Bell Cover + 1" "+ 1" ...

Just as Lin Feng was diligently Cultivating! Hall Master Su Tongtian slowly walked out of the Inner Courtyard, his gaze landing on Lin Feng in the Martial Arts Arena. He had also heard the rumors from the outside. He had originally intended to come and counsel Lin Feng! To tell him not to take it to heart! But looking now, he found that Lin Feng hadn't been affected at all and was still there Cultivating diligently. Hall Master Su Tongtian couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile, "Haha, not bad. With such a state of mind, Lin Feng's future prospects are limitless! The tournament in two days is secure!"
