The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1685 - 1690: Unlocking Resources

Lin Fei continued to pull weeds. At this moment, Li Qing walked to the fence yard, looked inside, and saw Lin Fei pulling out grass one by one, then said: "You can directly use True Qi to eliminate these weeds; it’s less troublesome."

Hearing Li Qing’s words, Lin Fei chuckled, "If I did that, it wouldn’t give them the experience of dying. Stripping them of the feeling of life and death, don’t you think that’s too cruel?"

"What’s cruel about that? If you talk about cruelty, pulling them out, breaking their bones, and letting them die slowly in pain— isn’t that cruel?" Li Qing said with a smile, watching Lin Fei with interest.

Lin Fei smiled, "Birth, aging, illness, and death are the norm of life. Since tasting life, there will also be a day of death. Letting them experience death early could be a form of redemption for them."

"If you do as I say and let them die without pain, wouldn’t that be better?" Li Qing replied with a smile.

Lin Fei sighed and looked at Li Qing, "The key is I don’t have True Qi yet, that’s the main issue, otherwise I wouldn’t be pulling them out one by one!"

Li Qing was stunned by Lin Fei’s reason, then burst into laughter, "May I know my junior brother’s name and make friends?"

Lin Fei smiled, "My name is Lin Fei, please take care of me in the future." With that, Lin Fei cupped his hands and continued pulling weeds.

"Lin Fei, your current realm should be Foundation Establishment, right?" Li Qing asked.

Lin Fei nodded, "That’s right, what’s up?"

"No wonder, but I’m curious about how you came to Qianhuang Peak and became a disciple here. Can you tell me who backs you?" Li Qing asked, knowing that a Foundation Establishment realm disciple in such a place was indeed suspicious.

"I don’t have any backing, even if there is, it would be myself!" Lin Fei replied, though he thought of Dugu Aotian.

Dugu Aotian was indeed his backing at first, but now it’s hard to say. Subsequently, Dugu Aotian’s behavior was like a stranger, Lin Fei felt he didn’t recognize Dugu Aotian.

"No backing? Then you’re in trouble. Many here enjoy bullying those without backing." Li Qing said with a smile, as if discussing a commonplace issue.

"Are you one of them, someone who bullies those without backing?" Lin Fei asked with a smile.

Li Qing shrugged, "I find it quite meaningless, but Yang Yuxiang over there might not think the same, you’d better be careful, he’s quite notorious..."

"Li Qing! Are you speaking ill of me again? Itchy skin, huh?!" Yang Yuxiang’s voice came over, instantly stopping Li Qing’s words.

Lin Fei chuckled and continued to pull weeds, though these grasses weren’t easy to deal with. Lin Fei needed to use three parts of his strength to pull one out, which was quite surprising. He tried using Primordial Energy, but failed. The hardness and stubbornness of these grasses were beyond Lin Fei’s imagination.

Finally, Lin Fei could only handle them one by one. After finishing, he piled them up in the yard, looked at the empty yard, turned around, and went back inside to cultivate.

At this moment, the sky gradually darkened. Lin Fei sat cross-legged on the stone bed inside the house and opened the aperture of Heaven and Earth Qi. Instantly, a stream of pure Heaven and Earth Qi continuously surged into the room.

Lin Fei closed the doors and windows, feeling this stream of Heaven and Earth Qi, then operated the Demon Refinement Technique. In a blink, the Heaven and Earth Qi in the room was absorbed by Lin Fei, leaving only the Heaven and Earth Qi flowing from the aperture, yet it was still not enough for Lin Fei.

Lin Fei discovered that the Primordial Energy in the Upper Realm was much more abundant than the Heaven and Earth Qi in his body. However, even so, Lin Fei wasn’t feeling inferior. After all, since there were so many resources here, he could completely transform himself, gradually eliminating the impure Heaven and Earth Qi within him.

A layer of black substance quickly appeared on Lin Fei’s body surface. This was the impurity within him, at least originating from the Lower Realm Heaven and Earth Qi. Now Lin Fei inhaled and exhaled Heaven and Earth Qi, then absorbed Primordial Energy, and the difference was clearly significant.

Lin Fei didn’t know that while cultivating, unknowingly, two days had passed, meaning the resource opening was about to occur.

At this time, disciples began to notify each other at Yang Yuxiang’s place.

A disciple knocked on Yang Yuxiang’s door, and Yang Yuxiang came out.

"Senior Sister, the resource opening is being prepared." The disciple said with a smile to Yang Yuxiang.

"I know, this good thing happens once a month, how could I forget!" Yang Yuxiang replied.

At this time, the disciple bid farewell to Yang Yuxiang, passed by Lin Fei’s yard, smiled, and directly ignored Lin Fei’s yard, saying, "These crawlers from the Lower Realm, even if they go, it’s a waste of resources, better forget it."

After speaking, the disciple headed to Li Qing’s small yard, informed Li Qing not to forget the resource opening event. Li Qing nodded, then glanced at Lin Fei’s yard, wondering what Lin Fei was doing these past two days; did he not know the resources were about to open?

Lin Fei was still cultivating at this moment. He spent two days expelling impurities from his body as much as possible, inhaling and exhaling Heaven and Earth Qi until his room seemed ready to explode.

However, Lin Fei continued to inhale and exhale until a knock on the door disturbed him. Lin Fei opened his eyes and stood up, looked outside, and found that Li Qing had come?

"Senior Brother, do you have something for me?" Lin Fei opened the door, and instantly the dense Primordial Energy rushed out of the room, dispersing into the world, catching many people’s attention.

Li Qing was taken aback; Lin Fei was wasting Primordial Energy in the room? This was too outrageous.

"Junior Brother, weren’t you cultivating in this room?" Li Qing asked.

Lin Fei was puzzled, "Cultivating, yes, for two days now."

"I see, it seems Junior Brother Lin doesn’t know the rules here. You can’t waste Primordial Energy, so... you might face punishment." Li Qing explained.

Lin Fei was stunned, "Punishment? What do you mean?"

Because you wasted Primordial Energy, you might be punished. Oh right, Lin Fei, ignorance is forgivable, but another important matter is the resource opening is today, don’t you know? Aren’t you going to prepare to go to the resource place?

Lin Fei was momentarily stunned, "Have three days passed already?"

Li Qing responded speechlessly, "Of course, get ready to go, want to go together?"
