Age of Evolution

Chapter 646: Chapter 648: Decisiveness

Steward Feng’s face changed unpredictably.

He didn’t expect that this young man from the New World would be so difficult, seizing on the elder issue and using it to threaten him.

Deeply inhaling, Steward Feng said, “Young man, I’ve already told you before, they just called me that on their own, I had already revealed my identity, but as for how many times they called me, I was too lazy to correct them. If you really want to bring this matter to the guild, I might just receive some punishment, but your friends won’t get my elixirs anymore.”

“Hehe, your elixirs, can they cure the poison after taking them? It’s fine if you don’t have the ice-fire dual cultivation skill, but it’s wrong for you to deceive under this banner.”

“Nonsense! Who can dual cultivate ice and fire now? Besides the President, even the Great Elder and the others may not have this skill. You want to find someone with ice-fire dual cultivation, well, you won’t find one in this lifetime….”

As he was talking, he saw Lin Zhen’s finger, with freezing air and flames intertwined, indistinguishable from each other.

“Keep going, huh? What do you mean I won’t find one in this lifetime? I’m sitting right in front of you, can’t you see such a big person?”

“You you you… How can you possibly have both freezing air and fiery power?” Steward Feng’s face became increasingly gloomy.

“Existence is the truth, do I need to explain so much to you?”

“Hmph! So what if you have them? It’s not like you can become an alchemist just because you have ice and fire abilities. Alchemists need a vast amount of resources to cultivate and need thousands of years of practice to achieve something. Having ice and fire abilities without knowing alchemy is useless, and they still have to seek me for medicine.”

“That was before, but from now on, they won’t need them anymore.”

Lin Zhen turned to Zhao Xiaoman and said, “Xiaoman, don’t find such scum for help in the future. If you lack any elixir, just look for Brother Lin. Brother will, um, buy it for you.”

“Brother Lin….”

Zhao Xiaoman didn’t know how to express her feelings at this moment. She wanted to agree with Lin Zhen, but in her heart, Lin Zhen was just showing off. The elixirs were so expensive, and if Lin Zhen really bought them, he might not have that much money.

Steward Feng was repeatedly defied by Lin Zhen, which made him furious and he had intentions to use force.

But just as he was about to order his bodyguards to take action, he saw a World King with a somewhat unruly look on the other side of the bamboo fence, staring at him coldly and making him shiver with fear.

Lin Feng had been holding back for a long time, wanting to teach those people a lesson. But in the Dimensional Universe, he received Lin Zhen’s warning not to take any reckless actions, so he could only drink the wine silently and glare at Steward Feng continually without Steward Feng noticing it.

He was about to explode from holding back, and finally, Steward Feng saw him. Lin Feng’s anger, which had been suppressed for a long time, was completely revealed in his eyes.

Those eyes were shining with an intense light, showing a murderous intent, which truly scared Steward Feng.

Even with his two bodyguard Domain Kings, they wouldn’t be a match for a World King like that.

It’s better to suffer a loss than to resort to violence. It seemed that there was no advantage to gain today.

Lin Zhen, who was now shrouded in mystery in Steward Feng’s eyes, made him feel timid.

Unless it was on the turf of the Alchemist Guild, he didn’t have the courage to face Lin Zhen anymore.

As he thought about how to leave this place without losing face, the man surnamed Li became angry.

“Xiaoman! What’s wrong with your friend? Since he came, he has been so picky and even dared to speak to Elder Feng… Uh, Steward Feng like that. Isn’t he intentionally trying to dismantle our platform? Can he give us money if we can’t buy elixirs? Who would believe such nonsense just by looking at his poor appearance?”

Speaking, he stood up and said, “Xiaoman, hurry up and let this kid apologize to Steward Feng!”

Zhao Xiaoman’s face turned awkward. Of course, she wouldn’t let Lin Zhen apologize, but when her teammates freaked out, it was hard for her to handle the situation. If she weren’t in this team, she would lose her source of income. Now that she had seen Brother Lin, who was in such a miserable state, she secretly planned to earn more money in her mind. She was even willing to support Brother Lin, so she was a bit hesitant to turn against her team.

Lin Zhen didn’t put Zhao Xiaoman in a difficult position, but languidly said, “I guess Steward Feng doesn’t want me to apologize. There is a cause for everything, and Steward Feng, if I were you, I would make a decision now.”

Steward Feng’s eyes glanced at Lin Feng again, Lin Feng clenched his fists a few times, not knowing what expression to make. In the end, he just bared his teeth and snarled angrily at Steward Feng, as if he wanted to eat people alive.

Steward Feng was truly intimidated by the seemingly deranged World King, who was acting like a lunatic. This place was by the city gates, and he might not get revenge from the Alchemist Guild even if they killed him here.

Having made up his mind, Steward Feng suddenly stepped forward, and when the man surnamed Li was yelling at Lin Zhen, Steward Feng slapped him hard in the face!

“Pa!”

A loud slap, and the man surnamed Li toppled to the ground with stars in his eyes!

“Steward Feng… What… What are you doing?”

“What am I doing? Everyone loves to trample on those who don’t know how to fight back. You, as a grown man, are showing off your strength by shouting at a woman? Does it make you feel very capable? As a steward of the Alchemist Guild, I’ve never tolerated any provocation since childhood. Don’t try that with me! I tell you, you can buy your elixirs wherever you want! If you want to take shortcuts with me, there’s no way!”

With blood gushing from his mouth, the man surnamed Li didn’t even dare to speak loudly. He dared to confront Lin Zhen, but he didn’t dare to say anything harsh to Steward Feng.

After speaking, Steward Feng came in front of Lin Zhen, bowing his fist: “Young Master, I have offended you just now. I will pay for the food and drinks today. Now, I will…”.

Lin Zhen originally wanted to kill him since he had inappropriate thoughts about Zhao Xiaoman, but on second thought, he also is an Alchemist, and he would need to go to the Alchemist Guild soon. Maybe he could be useful later. He waved his hand as if shooing a fly: “Go away quickly, don’t block my sight!”

Steward Feng felt like he had received a great pardon, repeatedly thanking Lin Zhen, and then left with his two bodyguards, disappearing like smoke.

Those two bodyguards couldn’t wait to leave, too. In just a short time, Lin Feng had flipped them off numerous times and made faces as well as a few beheading gestures. If it weren’t for their duty, they would have fled early. They were eager to escape from this trouble as soon as possible.

From beginning to end, they didn’t make much of an impression. Once they ran, they felt their backs were soaked through.

“Steward, are we just leaving like this?”

“What else can we do? That kid must be quite wealthy to be able to hire a World King bodyguard. We won’t gain anything by staying.”

Running far away, Steward Feng panted and stopped: “However, this is far from over. This is utterly humiliating. I guess those adventurers will still come back to find me to buy elixirs. By then, I will be able to get that kid’s information, and we’ll settle all our accounts!”

With a vengeful plan in mind, Steward Feng slinked back to the Alchemist Guild. He planned to notify his Elder, just in case Lin had actually come to complain. At least the punishment wouldn’t be too severe.

*********

Zhao Xiaoman stared blankly at Brother Li, who had been knocked down by Steward Feng. She had no idea how the trick had been done.

Why had Steward Feng been so intimidated by Brother Lin? Not only did he not vent his anger on Lin Zhen, but he also hit Brother Li.

However, for such an outcome, Zhao Xiaoman was happy in her heart.

Although she had been with her teammates for more than a decade, their positions in her heart were far less important than Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen felt deep contempt for Zhao Xiaoman’s two teammates, who even wanted to trade their teammates for elixirs. These people were not even comparable to Steward Feng and should be destroyed on the spot.

Lin Zhen thought so, but he couldn’t directly kill them. After all, this was Nan Liang City Gate, and killing people would be a serious problem.

Moreover, from the looks of Zhao Xiaoman, she seemed to still have feelings for her teammates. It would be hard for her to accept their direct killing.

But Lin Zhen had his own ways.

Lin Zhen said to Zhao Xiaoman, “Why don’t you come with me?”

Zhao Xiaoman hesitated a bit, then said, “I would like to, but our team has been together for a long time. If I leave, the team will be short of one person. Why don’t we wait for them to find someone to replace me, and then I’ll come to you right away?”

“Alright, then. I’ll give you my Dimensional Universe ID.”

The two added each other as friends in the Dimensional Universe, so now they could stay connected at any time.

It seemed that Captain Han wanted to say something, but Lin Zhen ignored them and continued to Zhao Xiaoman, “Xiaoman, do you think I’m really poor and want to help me?”

Zhao Xiaoman’s face turned red. Although she did think so, she had never said so directly, fearful of hurting Lin Zhen’s pride.

Lin Zhen laughed: “Don’t worry about me. Although Brother Lin’s strength is not strong, I have made some deals in the Original World and earned some money. I don’t need anyone to support me.”

Speaking of it, Lin Zhen took out a few things from his Space Ring.

Five Original World Crystal Coins, each worth one million. The five coins totaled five million, enough for a small adventurer’s team to live for one or two years.

He gave the Crystal Coins to Zhao Xiaoman: “Buy whatever you like, don’t cheat yourself.”

Without waiting for Zhao Xiaoman to refuse, Lin Zhen took out some elixirs.

“This is Juyuan Powder for the Star Domain Stage. Keep it for yourself. I got it from a friend, and its toxicity is minimal.”

“And this, the Hundred Flower Pill, is the best elixir on the market for detoxifying. If you feel that the toxins in your body accumulate too much, take these elixirs. But remember, they are expensive, so try not to give them to others.”

Zhao Xiaoman nodded and secretly felt happy that Brother Lin was still the same as before, capable of thriving in the Original World.

Lin Zhen glanced at Captain Han and the other person. Both of them had their eyes shining when they saw the elixir and Crystal Coins in Zhao Xiaoman’s hands.

Lin Zhen didn’t say anything and reminded Zhao Xiaoman once again, “Remember, eat Juyuan Powder first. This Hundred Flower Pill and Juyuan Powder are a set and can’t be taken separately. Taking them separately would cause poisoning and death. So, you can’t let others know, understand?”

Zhao Xiaoman nodded, holding the Hundred Flower Pill even tighter.

After explaining everything, Lin Zhen returned to his own fence and beckoned Lin Feng to get up and go.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoman realized that there was also a World King by Brother Lin’s side who seemed to be in a subordinate position. She couldn’t help but admire Lin Zhen even more.
