Chapter 142 The Rewards for High-Level Earth Rank!
"Follow-up commissions?"
These four words piqued Xiao Yan's interest. Could it be that killing a sect leader was just one of his objectives?
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lin Li. To be precise, I am not from this Northwest Continent, but an outcast who was expelled by a large family."
In my original family, my innate attributes and talents fell far short of their requirements, so I was exiled to this northwestern continent.
They were exiled to the Northwest Continent?
An alchemist capable of refining a sixth-grade Breaking Emperor Pill and possessing the cultivation of a peak Dou Wang would be expelled simply because of insufficient talent. Such a thing is unheard of in the Jia Ma Empire.
"However, after arriving in the Northwest Continent, I discovered that even a good-for-nothing like me is someone everyone respects here."
I spent decades becoming a Dou Huang and reaching the peak of the fifth rank in alchemy. This Breaking Emperor Pill is a sixth-rank pill that I managed to refine by sheer luck.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown: "But I sense that your current strength is only at the peak of Dou Wang, right?"
"Your soul power is very strong, you can even see this. It seems I didn't come to the wrong person. For some reason, I had a conflict with Han Feng, the Medicine King of the Black Corner Region. He actually commissioned the photography studio to assassinate me with a large sum of money."
I managed to escape using a secret technique, but my family was slaughtered by the scum of the photo studio. I myself also suffered a significant reduction in cultivation due to the side effects of the secret technique, and my cultivation level dropped to the peak of the Dou Wang realm.
Knowing that revenge was hopeless, and given that Yinglou and Han Feng had extensive connections in the Black Corner Region, I had no choice but to come to this remote country for one last desperate attempt.
I sacrificed the Emperor's Elixir, leaving behind a soul-binding promise to find someone willing to accept this commission.
Then I took the opportunity to observe the target, and that's how I found you. Your life force is very strong. At such a young age, you have already reached the level of a Battle King, and you also possess a treasure like a strange fire.
If it were you, you might truly be able to avenge me within ten years!
At this point, Lin Li, whose face remained relatively calm, revealed a hint of hatred in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He had to live well; his enemies were still alive, and he absolutely could not die before them!
"So what's this follow-up request you're talking about? Do you want me to kill Han Feng for you?"
He had no grudge against Han Feng, and Xiao Yan was really unwilling to kill him. Moreover, Han Feng, the Medicine King, was a well-known figure in the Black Corner Region, making him much more difficult to kill.
"Not only that, I want you to kill the three main owners of the photography studio, plus Han Feng and the other two."
Lin Li stated her request: each of these four people must die.
"Mr. Lin Li, not to mention that the three main owners of the photo studio are all Dou Huang, the big owner may even have reached Dou Zong, and the Medicine Emperor Han Feng is also at the peak of Dou Huang, and can even summon Dou Zong experts."
These people are so strong, you want me to kill them all for you? What conditions can you offer?
Just kidding. Even if the entire Gama Empire used all its power, it would be impossible for those people he mentioned to win, let alone him in his current state.
"Is a high-grade Earth-rank fire-type cultivation technique worth this price?"
Xiao Yan gasped in shock. High-level Earth Rank!
It should be noted that it takes decades of cultivation to create even a low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique or fighting skill.
As for the intermediate Earth Rank, only Dou Zong of six stars or above can create it. There has never been a Dou Zong of more than six stars in the history of the Jia Ma Empire. Therefore, even if it is a inherited or overlooked intermediate Earth Rank book, it is impossible to find one.
As for the advanced Earth Rank, that's beyond the reach of a Dou Zong, and only a Dou Zun-level super strong person can create such a level.
There may be a few hidden Dou Zun level experts in the entire Northwest Continent, but apart from the founding ancestor of Canaan Academy, there is no actual Dou Zun powerhouse on the surface.
Therefore, in the Northwest Continent, high-ranking Earth-level items are basically extinct. Unless they are from other continents or ancient relics, it is impossible for any of them to appear.
Even Xiao Yan couldn't stay calm. If he cultivated a high-level earth-rank fire-type cultivation technique, although it wouldn't bring about a qualitative change, his Dou Qi would at least increase by dozens of times!
It should be known that the higher the level of the cultivation technique, the greater the gap between it and the previous techniques. It is said that if one can obtain a Heaven-rank cultivation technique, one can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with every move and achieve unlimited battle qi!
Of course, he wouldn't consider that for the time being, but the high-level Earth-rank cultivation technique in front of him was extremely attractive to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment. Of these four, three were Dou Huangs and one was a Dou Zong. If he had the combat strength of a Dou Zong, it wasn't impossible for him to defeat them.
Even at the Dou Zong level, it's impossible to obtain a high-grade Earth Rank item. Therefore, although this deal is extremely difficult, if it succeeds, it will definitely be a sure-fire way to make a profit.
"High-level Earth Rank? This price might be enough to hire some Dou Zong. It does sound very tempting."
Xiao Yan nodded, indicating that he was interested in this.
"Unfortunately, even ordinary Dou Zong cannot do this in the Northwest Continent, and my lifespan was also greatly reduced due to that great battle."
I thought I had no hope of revenge in this lifetime, but after seeing a genius like you, what harm is there in waiting a few more years for my old bones?
Looking at the old man before him, who was once glorious but now had his family destroyed, Xiao Yan finally made up his mind: "Alright, I accept your request. But you know this kind of thing can't be done overnight, so you may have to wait a few more years. By the way, remember my name, Xiao Yan. Don't let me complete the request by the time you're already dead."
"Hehehe, even if it means using some painful method to prolong my life, I'll hold on to this last breath and wait for news from Brother Xiao Yan!"
As for that high-level Earth-rank cultivation technique, he naturally hid it away. After all, if he carried it with him, it might be stolen. This was his last bargaining chip.
"By the way, I also wanted to ask, why did that Medicine King Han Feng clash with you, to the point where it had to escalate to a point of no return?"
This was something that Huo Liao was quite curious about, since the person in front of him was once a fifth-grade peak alchemist with the strength of a Dou Huang, and his influence was not much less than that of Han Feng.
To take action against someone like that would surely require an exorbitant fee.
"Hehe, it won't hurt to tell you. Rumor has it that Han Feng obtained another cultivation technique from somewhere, which is said to be able to devour strange fire."
The reason he clashed with me was that he coveted the Xuanhuang Flame, a strange fire I possessed. Unfortunately, the great battle resulted in the Xuanhuang Flame being taken from me; otherwise, I could have mobilized even more people.
Xuanhuang Flame? A technique for devouring strange flames?
For some reason, upon hearing this news, Xiao Yan felt a sudden surge of killing intent towards Han Feng, whom he had never met before.
It wasn't a personal grudge, but more like—some kind of instinct.
