Chapter 153: The Jiazi Enhancement Pill Offers Better Value

Lin Feng first stated his position.

He cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to die for the Ma Yi Guard. I accept the challenge from the City Lord's Mansion."

The envoy nodded in satisfaction. As long as Lin Feng was willing to accept the challenge, the matter would be easy to handle.

Lin Feng continued, "My lord, what are my chances of winning if I use this Blood Burning Pill?"

The envoy hesitated for a moment before saying, "Less than one-tenth."

These people judge the strength of ordinary martial artists mainly based on the amount of time they have spent cultivating and how many power-enhancing pills they have consumed.

Judging from these two aspects, Lin Feng is far inferior to Zheng Tiejun.

"Then what use would I have for this Blood Burning Pill? I have a favor to ask."

The envoy waved his hand, "Speak freely."

Lin Feng said, "I hope that the higher-ups can replace the Blood Burning Pill and Dragon Blood Nourishing Heart Pill I received with Jiazi Enhancement Pills of equal value."

"Save these excellent pills for your colleagues who need them; I only want the Jiazi Enhancement Pill."

Lin Feng didn't lack the means to afford high-quality pills; it's just that the Jiazi Enhancement Pill offered better value for money.

The envoy thought for a moment and said, "On behalf of the Hemp-Clad Guard, I grant your request."

The Blood Burning Pill can be exchanged for three Jiazi Enhancement Pills, and the Dragon Blood Nourishing Heart Pill can be exchanged for six Jiazi Enhancement Pills.

I'll prepare three Jiazi Enhancement Pills for you first.

The remaining six will be given to you if you win.

The guards in hemp robes thought Lin Feng would most likely die in battle, which is why they were so generous; otherwise, why would they have given him the precious Dragon Blood Nourishing Heart Pill as a reward?

After the envoy finished speaking, he walked to the window, opened it, and whistled.

With a whoosh, a sparrow flew over like a sharp sword and landed on the messenger's arm.

The messenger took out a three-inch square piece of paper, wrote a few words on it with a pencil, then rolled up the paper and stuffed it into the thin bamboo tube on the sparrow's leg.

Finally, the sparrows were released.

The envoy closed the window and turned to say, "The three Jiazi Enhancement Pills will be delivered tomorrow morning."

Lin Feng clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

The envoy looked Lin Feng up and down, "No need to thank me, you risked your life for this."

"Why aren't you afraid in the face of such a dead end?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "If being afraid were useful, I would be trembling with fear right now."

"Young man, you're quite interesting. If you can get through this, your future will be limitless."

……

The next morning, as expected, another messenger from the Ma Yi Guard arrived and brought Lin Feng three Jiazi Enhancement Pills.

Lin Feng thought to himself that the Ma Yi Guards were really efficient.

The messenger left after delivering the pills, while the messenger who came yesterday would only leave after he and Zheng Tiejun had finished their fight.

At this moment, Sun Yu walked over angrily.

Sun Yu walked up to Lin Feng and said, "Master Zhu in the city has opened a betting shop at Zuiyue Pavilion, betting that you, General, dare not accept the challenge. The odds have reached 1 to 3."

Lin Feng had an impression of this Zhu Yuanwai. This man was a businessman who had long since aligned himself with Zheng Tiejun and made his business thrive by relying on Zheng Tiejun's power.

Because he was doing legitimate business, Lin Feng didn't touch him.

This person actually dares to use himself as the subject of a gambling operation; it must be at Zheng Tiejun's behest.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look at Zuiyue Pavilion."

Sun Yu and Lin Feng went to Zuiyue Pavilion, and the envoy accompanied them.

As soon as the three arrived at the entrance of Zuiyue Pavilion, they heard a commotion inside.

"Everyone, come and place your bets!"

Yalin Feng dared not accept the challenge of a 10-to-1 payout.

Ya Linfeng dares to accept the challenge with odds of three times the stake.

"I'm betting one hundred taels on Lin Feng not daring to accept the challenge."

“I’m betting fifty taels, and also betting that Lin Feng won’t accept the challenge.”

After listening for a while, most people bet that Lin Feng wouldn't dare accept the challenge.

Only a few crazy gamblers bet a few taels of silver, betting that Lin Feng dared to accept the challenge.

Lin Feng entered the restaurant, and the restaurant fell silent.

As Lin Feng and his two companions walked forward, the crowded people automatically parted to make way for them.

Lin Feng walked to the table in front of the dealer and took out 100,000 taels of silver notes from his pocket.

Lin Feng's assets have long exceeded one million, but he cannot show them, otherwise there would be no way to explain it.

He slammed a stack of silver notes on the table and said, "I bet Lin Feng will accept the challenge."

Lin Feng looked at the people around him and said, "I, Lin Feng, hereby declare that I accept the challenge from City Lord Zheng Tiejun."

The restaurant was so quiet you could hear the faint echoes of music.

Lin Feng picked up the 100,000 taels of silver notes he had slapped on the table and put them in his pocket. Then he said to Sun Yu next to him, "According to the one-to-three odds calculation, he still owes me 200,000 taels. You help me collect the money. If he can't come up with it, confiscate his property."

"Yes!" Sun Yu responded, walked outside the restaurant and shot a cloud-piercing arrow, then went back inside to collect the valuables on the table.

In his view, Lin Feng would have a hard time surviving if he accepted the challenge.

If Lin Feng, their leader, dies, they probably won't be able to stay in the Hemp-Clad Guard anymore.

If that's the case, then what is there to worry about?

Soon after, the sound of rapid hoofbeats rang out.

Zhang Xiaoyu, Lin Hu, Zhou Haitao, Song Dahu, and others led a group of their men and rushed over.

As soon as these people arrived, Lin Feng and the envoy returned.

The rest was left to his subordinates to handle.

Lin Feng publicly accepted the challenge, which finally put the envoy at ease.

As long as Lin Feng accepts the challenge, his job is half done.

News of Lin Feng accepting the challenge spread quickly.

Zheng Tiejun learned of this immediately, and his feelings were a mixture of joy and worry.

His intuition told him that Lin Feng was not someone to be trifled with.

In his view, the best outcome would be if Lin Feng dared not accept the challenge, so that he could gain both fame and fortune without lifting a finger.

Although his cultivation level was higher than Lin Feng's and he wasn't particularly afraid of Lin Feng, reputation precedes him, and Lin Feng's record was there for all to see; there was still a possibility that he might be defeated.

Stepping into the ring always carries the risk of defeat and death.

With three days left until the duel, Zheng Tiejun dared not slack off. He planned to go into seclusion for three days to adjust his energy and spirit to their best.

In the afternoon, the commander of the Hemp-Clad Guards received news that Lin Feng had accepted the challenge.

"What a pity, what a waste of such a promising talent."

The young man next to the commander said, "Since Lin Feng dared to accept the challenge, he must have some confidence. Sir, it's best not to jump to conclusions too soon."

"His age is a factor; no matter how talented Lin Feng is, his time for martial arts training is ultimately limited."

How could anyone possibly defeat Zheng Tiejun, who has trained for decades?

"Perhaps Lin Feng's genius exceeds our expectations?"

Perhaps Lin Feng has some unexpected and winning strategy?

"What tricks could someone so young possibly have up his sleeve?"

If we're talking about methods, Zheng Tiejun definitely has more.

However, what you said makes sense. We'll go and see for ourselves then.

……

When Lin Feng returned home, his mother and wife both looked worried.

Lin's mother asked, "Xiao Feng, is it true that you're going to have a life-or-death duel with the city lord?"

Lin Feng nodded. "The duel is real, but it may not be a matter of life and death. Mother, you don't need to worry. I know my limits."

“That guy surnamed Zheng used to be quite close to you, and he often came to our house as a guest.”

Why would he send out challenges when he has nothing better to do?

Lin's mother complained and then went to the kitchen to cook with the servants.

Zhou Chunlan frowned and asked, "My lord, how confident are you that you can beat Zheng Tiejun?"

Lin Feng smiled confidently, "I will definitely defeat him in three days."

Lin Feng said this only to comfort his family. After all, Zheng Tiejun was a veteran Bone Refining Realm martial artist, and he was not so easy to deal with.

Seeing Lin Feng's confidence, Zhou Chunlan's worried expression vanished as if melting away.

Zhou Chunlan said with a smile, "I'm relieved to hear you say that."

Lin Feng embraced his wife and walked into the bedroom, his mind in deep thought.

After converting these three newly acquired Jiazi Enhancement Pills into breakthrough points, how should we use them?

Is it meant to be kept in case of emergencies that might occur during a duel?

Or should you invest all your points into martial arts to improve your combat power?
