Chapter 647: Cockscomb Stolen Scent

Xia Fei, who did not find anything special about this martial technique, was planning to throw it back in the chest when Lionheart King Oro suddenly called, “Stop! Let me take a closer look.”

Xia Fei smiled. “Didn’t you say that anything not above Tier 6 isn’t worth looking at? This is only Tier 5.”

Oro mysteriously said, “There’s an exception for everything. I recalled that you have a martial technique that uses the Law of Space to simulate atmospheric change?”

Xia Fei nodded. “I do. It’s called Chain Blockade, a Tier 3 martial technique.”

“How far have you studied it?”

“Chain Blockade has seven levels, and I’ve already studied all of them. I can use this technique to its maximum effectiveness.”

“Then start practicing this technique. ‘Golden Sand Dance’ and ‘Chain Blockade’ both use the Law of Space to imitate the explosive power of a tornado. Golden Sand Dance is an advanced version of Chain Blockade that is mixed with a small-scale spatial explosion. Its offensive power is at least fifty percent greater.

“Your Chain Blockade can cover a vast area, but it lacks in power, making it less effective if you run into warriors who are just a bit higher in rank. Besides that, you’ve already cultivated that technique to its limit, and it has no more potential to be unlocked. It’s about time you switch it out for a new one.”

Xia Fei comprehended his meaning. Chain Blockade was Xia Fei’s only large-scale combat technique, and it was rather good; alas, Xia Fei was rising far too quickly. Chain Blockade could no longer fulfill his needs, and changing it for a new one had become a pressing matter.

This Golden Sand Dance, which Oro had selected, created the same result through a different method. Xia Fei would find adapting to it very easy.

“Stellar Remnant Flicker? Not bad, not bad. Take it.

“The Four-ring Golden Fiendhook? Also not bad. Take it.

“Ground Lotus of a Hundred Cuts? Also pretty good. Leaving it here would be too much of a pity.”

…

Xia Fei was dazzled. The chest he had opened next was filled with numerous Tier 4 and even Tier 5 techniques! In a flash, Oro had told Xia Fei to take out ninety-nine! The vast majority of them were Tier 5!

A large pile of martial techniques in hand, Xia Fei frowned. “So many? How long would it take me to finish cultivating them all? Back on Earth, we have a saying: ‘Don’t bite off more than you can chew’!”

Oro casually said, “I know that your home has another saying: ‘It’s always good to have more skills.’”

Xia Fei was rendered speechless. He had never before attempted to cultivate this many martial techniques, and he had no idea if he could succeed. However, with his sharp eyesight, Xia Fei clearly realized that each of the techniques Oro had chosen had a unique attribute. After all, this was a demon who had lived for tens of thousands of years, and his judgment was not to be underestimated.

In the darkness, Oro naughtily smiled. ‘Since we have so many martial techniques, let me test Xia Fei and see where his break point is.’

Xia Fei had no idea that Oro had excessively chosen ninety-nine martial techniques with an unspoken goal in mind: find Xia Fei’s true potential!

…

Once he was done looking through the combat techniques, Xia Fei immediately moved to the last shelf, the treasure shelf.

“White Swallow Gems!”

“Bruised Glaze Lock!”

Xia Fei almost fell unconscious from joy, and Phantom gawked in wonder. Even someone as important as Oro found plenty of valuables in this treasury.

“Heheh! It seems like the Yellow Clan possessed quite a lot of good things, proving my conjecture. They were wiped out because they offended some powerful figure they shouldn’t have offended,” Oro said.

“Yes, yes,” Xia Fei said in a muffled tone. He was so excited that some drool threatened to come out of his mouth.

Oro sighed. “Could you be a little more farsighted? This is only the basic treasury. Once you open Tier 2, you may be a thousand times more excited…”

Oro’s voice dwindled away as he seemingly lost his train of thought. The reason for this was because Xia Fei had taken out a cockscomb-shaped herb which exuded an enchanting scent. The moment it emerged, the entire treasury was filled with its aroma.

“Cockscomb Stolen Scent! To think the Yellow Clan would leave Cockscomb Stolen Scent in a place like this? What an absolute waste!” Oro angrily said.

“Is Cockscomb Stolen Scent this formidable? I feel like its aroma is a little too much.”

Oro rolled his eyes. “The scent of the Cockscomb Stolen Scent isn’t too strong, but its function is without comparison. Its extract allows for the full expression of the most delicious scent in the universe.

“Let’s use you as an example. If you rub one drop of the Cockscomb Stolen Scent extract on your body, vegetarians will take you as the most delicious vegetable and devour you while meat-eaters will consider you as the most delectable puffer fish and could not resist to take a few bites.

“In short, anything that is infused with the Cockscomb Stolen Scent’s extract will become incredibly appetizing, whether they actually taste good or not.”

Xia Fei was shocked that such a sinister plant existed in the universe, using every method at its disposal to make others come eat it. If someone rubbed this substance on a monster’s body, countless people might die in an attempt to eat that monster!

Xia Fei chuckled, but when he was about to put the Cockscomb Stolen scent away, Oro nodded his head in satisfaction and said, “With the Cockscomb Stolen Scent, we no longer need the Fury Fire Lotus or the Green Python Bat; we just need to rub some extract on the Nine Night Plum and Peacock Blue will take it for something delicious and devour it!”

Xia Fei finally realized that Oro had decided to change the way they would combine the two armaments! Peacock Blue would eat the Nine Night Plum, merging them together into an even greater power!

…

After learning about the history of the Atlantis Clan, obtaining ninety-nine rather excellent martial arts techniques, gaining more than eight million grade 4 crystals, and finding the Cockscomb Stolen Scent, which could merge the Nine Night Plum and Peacock Blue, Xia Fei finally realized that he had picked up a very valuable treasure: the treasury and account of the Yellow Clan!

There was no doubt that this long-vanished clan had once had a golden age. No matter the reason for their ultimate demise, what was most important was that their property had ultimately been passed on to Xia Fei. As Xia Fei grew stronger and stronger, he would gain the privilege to open up Tier 2, perhaps even Tier 3!

As rich as a country!

It would not be excessive at all to describe Xia Fei with this phrase!

In Black Lion City, Heathfield once more held a feast for Xia Fei and Chen Dong.

Heathfield had not just been sitting around while Xia Fei went to Rock Private Bank. He had been observing Chen Dong both openly and secretly. There was nothing to complain about with regards to his cultivation, and he possessed a rare persistence and resolve. His body covered in scars also left Heathfield stunned.

The Lionheart Clan was a tough race that admired martial prowess and revered warriors.

In their eyes, scars were not scars but rather medals! Representing the dignity of a warrior!

Thus, Heathfield felt greater respect for Chen Dong and began to like him more and more.

“This is for you.” Before leaving, Xia Fei gave Chen Dong a spatial ring with one thousand cubic meters of space. In the Law Realm, the Law of Space made this storage tool very common, but one like Xia Fei’s with ten thousand cubic meters of space was very rare. After all, besides the materials, creating such a spatial ring required a Law of Space master.

“What is this?” Chen Dong curiously asked.

“Ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals, twenty kilograms of White Swallow Gems, seventeen Law of Matter martial techniques, and also some drugs that I concocted, with instructions on each bottle. The rest… ahem. I can’t think of it right now, so just take some to look through it yourself,” Xia Fei casually said.

“Ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals! Twenty kilograms of White Swallow Gems?!” Chen Dong’s eyes went wide. “Did you strike it rich? Why am I even staying in Black Lion City? I might as well just spend time with you! My god!”

Xia Fei smiled and patted Chen Dong on the shoulder. “Don’t say stupid things. You know how powerful the Lionhearts are. It’s difficult to get the favor of Heathfield, and your future prospects are limitless. It’s far better than being with me and all my troubles.”

“That’s true. You’ve got so many troubles coming one after another that even I feel worried for you. When is it all going to end?” Chen Dong scratched his head. “I’ll take the White Swallow Gems and martial techniques, but I don’t need the money. I don’t need to spend any money to cultivate in this place, so what am I going to do with it?”

“Take it just in case. The Law Realm is a cruel and crazy place.” In front of Oro, Xia Fei found it awkward to say too much, so he could only remind Chen Dong of the Law Realm’s man-eat-man reality. After what had happened with Yu Hua, Xia Fei found it hard to trust anyone in this place.

“Mere thanks isn’t enough to express my gratitude. Whenever you plan to deal with those people who are trying to kill you, tell me. I swear on my name that I will help; call me a gutless coward if I hesitate!” Chen Dong slapped his chest and declared.

Xia Fei chuckled. “If I don’t ask for your help, then I’m not Xia Fei. Anyone who brings me displeasure will receive ten times the pain in return!”

…

After returning to Metal City and seeing how Avril was doing, Xia Fei got to work. Following Oro’s instructions, he had a room with tough walls constructed.

Fusing two Immemorial Mystical Armaments was no easy task. One must be as cautious as possible when having these two apex plants devour each other so that they could merge together into a brand-new, heaven-defying weapon. Not even Xia Fei could take on the consequences of a mishap.

Sentinel Goddess Sophie once more asked for Phantom, but Xia Fei still had no idea what this odd pairing was up to. Even more strangely was that Phantom did not reject her at all. The first time Xia Fei left Phantom with the Sentinel Goddess, Phantom had been on the verge of tears, but now, Phantom was more than happy to accompany Sophie.

Xia Fei had asked them what they were up to, but their lips were tightly sealed. Afterward, Xia Fei decided to just ignore them. Nothing was more important than having Peacock Blue absorb the Nine Night Plum, and Xia Fei was looking forward to seeing what Peacock Blue would look like once it was all said and done.

The robots lived up to their reputation for efficiency, and in three days, they had finished constructing a four-story alloy dome on the outskirts of the city. Not only was this building tough, it was so airtight that not even an air molecule could escape.

The dome was sealed. Xia Fei, wearing Edgeless, stood in front of a drug-compounding apparatus.

Letting out a breath, Xia Fei sternly said. “Let’s get started. I’m ready.”

Oro nodded, his brows furrowing together as he seriously said, “Then let’s begin the first step, extracting the juice of the Cockscomb Stolen Scent.”
