Chapter 154: Chapter 85: Crisis and Opportunity (Part 2)

Only when facing Martial Artists stronger than him, or opponents whose speed matches his, does he need to compete in saber skills.

After cultivating for more than two hours, Lin Zheyu stopped, slightly panting.

[Heaven rewards diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 0

Skills:

Wild Bull Fist (Perfection)

Six Harmonies Blade (Great Success 10%)

Golden Swan Skill (Seventh Layer 83%)

Ten Thousand Armies Step (Fourth Layer 97%)

Poison King Body (First Layer 0%)

Turtle Breath Skill (Third Layer 4%)

“Soon, in another ten days, I will have accumulated enough Source Power to break through to the Qi Blood Three Transformations and reach the level of Qi Blood like a Tiger.”

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his mind and muttered to himself.

After reaching Qi Blood Second Transformation, every three times he broke through the limit, there was one chance to increase Source Power by two units, accelerating the rate of accumulation significantly.

However, correspondingly, the difficulty of improving the realm also increased.

Nowadays, one unit of Source Power needs the assistance of eight doses of Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup to increase the progress by about nine percent.

Fortunately, recently, through cultivation techniques and Blood Elixirs, he earned quite a lot of silver taels, or else he wouldn’t be able to sustain such consumption.

Lin Zheyu never thought that Blood Elixirs were so valuable, selling for four hundred taels of silver.

In his view, after Blood Elixirs broke through to the Qi Blood Realm, the path of improvement was cut off, and their value wasn’t high, so selling for about two hundred taels of silver was a high price.

But Mr. Han directly offered forty taels of gold, equivalent to four hundred taels of silver.

This price was not a small amount.

The purchase of cultivation techniques and Blood Elixirs almost exhausted Mr. Han’s savings, which included a lot of his entire family’s silver taels.

Finally, Lin Zheyu gave Mr. Han a lot of his cherished poisons and managed to persuade him to accept them for free.

Otherwise, after earning so much money from Mr. Han, Lin Zheyu always felt like he was taking advantage of him, feeling a bit guilty.

“Mr. Han also has it tough, having so many people to support.”

Lin Zheyu sighed.

A significant reason he never wanted to start a family was the fear of not having enough power to protect his family during dangerous times.

If he were alone, he wouldn’t have so many concerns.

“After my power improves to the Qi Blood Three Transformations, I’ll head to Lion Valley to grab some more Blood Elixirs back,” Lin Zheyu secretly vowed.

Once reaching the Qi Blood Three Transformations, he would be among the top-tier powerhouses in Songyi City.

With his mastery of lightweight skills, even when confronted by those in black and red robes from the Nine Nether Sect, he could easily escape, and might even kill a few.

Mass attack tactics have no effect on a lightweight skill expert like Lin Zheyu; to deal with him, one either needs to be overwhelmingly strong.

Or have greater mastery in lightweight skills to keep up with him.

Thud, thud, thud.

Thud, thud.

As dusk approached, a knocking sound came from the door.

Opening the door revealed a servant from the Xu Family.

“Mr. Lin, Mr. Xu invites you over for a while,” the servant respectfully said.

“Alright, I’ll come right away.”

Lin Zheyu changed his clothes and went to Funing Garden.

Funing Garden was lively today; Ren Qingfeng, Chen Xihong, Ren Qingying, and Xu Yuxiang were there, people he was familiar with.

“Mr. Lin has arrived, please have a seat.”

Xu Qinyi smiled and invited Lin Zheyu to sit down.

“Mr. Lin, have you given it any thought? Are you really not leaving with us?” Xu Qinyi asked.

After making the evacuation plans, Xu Qinyi invited Lin Zheyu to leave with them in the same batch.

In his view, Songyi City is now in chaos, staying here is quite dangerous, it’s better to leave in advance.

As for the businesses in Songyi City, someone else will take care of them.

“I plan to stay in Songyi City for a while longer, there are still things to do; I’ll leave with the Feihong Gang members then,” Lin Zheyu said.

He once promised Mr. Chen to kill Zhao Guanbin once his strength increased, which he hasn’t accomplished yet.

And regarding the Xing Family, before leaving, not dealing with that old man, and Xing Penghai, who once threatened him, makes Lin Zheyu uneasy.

Lastly, Blood Elixirs are so valuable, he plans to increase his strength and go to Lion Valley to seize more.

Otherwise, upon reaching Bafang City, just relying on the Feihong Gang’s wages and money from spreading stories, he could only afford to buy one or two doses of Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup materials in a month, which is not enough.

In a stable and peaceful environment, it’s tough to hide strength and make money quickly.

While the situation in Songyi City is chaotic, there’s an opportunity to fish in troubled waters, making whatever he can is more worthwhile.

“How about you, Xihong, doesn’t the Chen Family have many children serving in the city guard? Evacuating may not be easy.”

Lin Zheyu asked Chen Xihong.

The Chen Family has many members in the city guard, but unlike the Xing Family, the Xing Family built its fortune through the city guard.

The current commander of the city guard is from the Xing Family.

“We don’t have much of a problem as long as not all the branches of the family serving in the city guard leave; keeping some people here is enough.”

“I heard your senior is also a member of the city guard. If he wants to have his family evacuated early, I can assist.”

“It’s impossible to have all his relatives evacuated, but getting his parents, wife, and children out early is feasible.”

Chen Xihong smiled and said.

The rules were set by the Great Wei’s officialdom, for restraining ordinary people.

For people at their level, the same rules are applied in a much more lenient way.

“Great, thank you, Mr. Chen; I will go back and ask my senior’s opinion.” Lin Zheyu felt delighted and thanked him.

“It’s a small matter.”

“The deputy commander your senior follows has a good relationship with our Chen Family, almost like one of our own.” Chen Xihong said.
