Chapter 403 The Evil Spirit Descends from the Void, An Encounter with Master Li

After Li Chunqiu died, a star suddenly fell from the gray sky above the void.

This sight caused many of the grandmasters of Taixu to fall into deep thought.

The Palace Master of Wuji Palace, who was in Taixu, summoned a group of elders for a meeting.

"Elder Li Chunqiu died in Shenzhou. This is extremely unusual. Someone needs to investigate."

Only some of the elders present understood the Palace Master's meaning.

He meant that the soul of the evil spirit of the Great Void was extremely difficult to kill, and that Li Chunqiu's physical body was severely injured, but he should not have died completely.

The Grand Elder of Wuji Palace lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "We must send someone to investigate thoroughly. Chunqiu was injured by the Sword Sect, so let the Sword Sect help us investigate as well."

"Alright, go and contact the Sword Sect." The Palace Master of Wuji Palace glanced at the four elders who looked similar and said, "Elders Feng, Lin, Huo, and Shan, go back to Shenzhou and make sure you get to the bottom of this matter."

The four elders rose and clasped their hands in greeting. "Sect Leader, rest assured, with us brothers on the case, we will definitely be able to find out the truth."

……

Lin Feng parted ways with Li Wanru and arrived first at Feixue County City.

Feixue County is like a place cast from ice and snow, with thousands of miles of ice and snow, giving it a unique northern charm.

Lin Feng found a restaurant, booked a private room, and ordered several local specialties.

The dishes arrived shortly after: snow lotus and mutton soup, ginseng and lingzhi stewed pork belly, deer antler stewed pig's trotters...

While enjoying the delicious food, Lin Feng used his mental power to scan the entire county town, observing the various aspects of life there.

Feixue County is extremely prosperous. Some people are enjoying delicious food with their wives on both sides, while others are busy with their work. There are also extremely poor beggars hiding in corners, shivering from the cold.

Lin Feng was lamenting that wealth and power had divided people into different classes, and the gap between people was even greater than the gap between people and dogs.

He suddenly realized that the beggar huddled in the corner looking familiar, and he scanned him carefully with his mental energy.

Holy crap, isn't that the rich man Li from next door? How come he's ended up in such a miserable state?

I just thought of him yesterday, and I ran into him today. Is this some kind of preordained connection?

Lin Feng stood up and rushed out of the restaurant.

When he ran downstairs, he threw a silver ingot to the waiter.

"Give me two more main dishes. I'm going out to pick up a friend and I'll be right back."

The waiter caught the gold ingot and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sir, I'll make it for you right away."

Lin Feng walked quickly through several streets. When there were few people, he used his lightness skill to travel. Before long, he arrived at the corner of a small alley.

Master Li, with disheveled hair and wearing tattered clothes, was huddled in a corner, rubbing his hands to keep warm.

He didn't even notice Lin Feng walking up to him.

Lin Feng squatted down and asked softly, "Brother Li, what are you doing here?"

Li Yuanwai was a little dazed from the cold. He looked up at Lin Feng for a while before saying in a trembling voice, "You, you are Brother Lin."

Master Li was almost frozen to the bone, and his body was somewhat stiff.

Lin Feng grabbed Li Yuanwai's arm and used his inner energy to help Li Yuanwai expel the cold from his body.

Achoo, achoo, Master Li sneezed twice and finally recovered. "Brother Lin, what brings you to Feixue County?"

Instead of hitting him, Lin Feng asked, "Brother Li, how come you're in such a miserable state?"

Master Li gave a wry smile, "This is a long story."

"It's a long story, so let's tell it slowly, brothers."

Lin Feng brought Master Li back to the inn, had the waiter fetch hot water for Master Li to take a hot bath, and also gave Master Li a cotton shirt and a gold brocade robe.

This golden brocade robe was a gift from Master Li.

After changing his clothes, Master Li transformed back into the elegant and wealthy merchant he once was.

Lin Feng took him to a restaurant for dinner.

When the waiter saw Lin Feng return, he reheated the food for him.

The two chatted while eating.

Master Li said, "Our Li family makes a living by doing business, and we are backed by the Dai family of Jianfeng, the land of Jianzong."

After you became enemies with the Dai family, my brothers dug up our past relationship in order to fight for the family business.

The clan chief and elders disliked me intensely and suppressed me all the way, eventually sending me to this harsh and cold place to do mining business.

After you wiped out the Dai family, business here became much harder.

The elders took their anger out on me, seized my property, and drove me out of the house.

This is not finished.

They've been targeting me at every turn; otherwise, with my abilities, I wouldn't have ended up as a beggar.

Lin Feng never expected that Li Yuanwai's misfortune was actually related to him.

Since he's homeless anyway, why not let him work with me?

Lin Feng is now rich, and he has acquired a lot of gold and silver jewelry in the Northern Continent, which are all stored in his storage space.

It's time to put this money to good use.

If something can be solved with money, try to avoid violence.

Lin Feng said, "Brother Li, you'll work for me from now on."

I've established a gang and have a lot of money, so I need someone like you to help me manage it.

My eldest child loves doing business; he could become your apprentice.

Master Li did not immediately agree, but fell into deep thought.

Bang! At that moment, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and several burly men in brocade robes rushed in.

Master Li's body trembled.

These people were sent by the family elders to deal with him.

As soon as he finds a job, these guys will come out and cause trouble.

Over time, no one dared to use it anymore, and he naturally ended up as a beggar.

Master Li hated these people to the core; they wanted him to freeze and starve to death.

The burly man at the head of the group said to Lin Feng, "Young master, the man next to you is a stinking beggar, a fraud."

He's always trying to scam people out of food and drinks, so don't fall for his tricks..."

"Get lost!" Lin Feng told the man to get lost before he could finish speaking.

Lin Feng waved his hand, and the window opened.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Several people shot out of the window and crashed onto the road.

The window closed automatically again.

Master Li gave a wry smile, "These people are really persistent."

Sometimes I really wish I could be like Brother Lin, a martial artist, at least with some ability to protect myself.

Lin Feng smiled. This is easy.

Lin Feng reached out and sent a stream of true energy into Master Li's brow.

After a long while, Lin Feng withdrew his true energy.

Master Li had been a wealthy merchant and a beggar, experiencing the highs and lows of life, and his spirit and will far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Lin Feng directly elevated it to the level of a first-rate expert in the Bone Refining Realm.

After a moment of confusion, Master Li looked at his hands.

"Brother Lin, what's going on?"

Lin Feng recounted his ability to perform the initiation ceremony to Master Li, who then got up and performed a set of boxing moves.

Master Li's face was flushed; he was a little too excited.

"I am finally no longer a helpless businessman."

Lin Feng said, "Brother Li, don't get excited. Your body is still a bit weak. Eat something to replenish your strength first, and then it won't be too late to consolidate your cultivation."

Master Li clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Lin Feng, saying, "Your subordinate, Li Wenwu, pays respects to the Palace Master."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, "Okay, after I finish things here, I'll take you back to Qinghe County and give you some start-up capital."

If you form a gang, let's call it the Money Gang.

You can handle the manpower yourself.

I hope that within ten years, you can control the economic lifeline of the entire Divine Continent.

Master Li was taken aback by Lin Feng's request. "Palace Master, how much start-up capital can you give me?"

Is it a banknote or gold and silver?

To control the economic lifeline of China, one must challenge the status of the silver note.

The silver notes were jointly issued by several major sects. These sects could print as many as they wanted; having too many would actually be meaningless.

"Don't worry, it's gold and silver, of course. I can give you a mountain of gold, that'll definitely be enough for you."

With a wave of his hand, Lin Feng filled the room with gold, making the floorboards creak.

Master Li hurriedly said, "Master, that's enough, that's enough."

Lin Feng waved his hand and put the gold back into his storage space.

"When we're alone together, let's still call each other brothers."

Brother Li, do you need me to send someone to teach the Li family a lesson and help you vent your anger?
