Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 7 Taking Down the Wolf's Head

"Bang bang bang..." Several heavy sounds of objects falling to the ground echoed in everyone's ears. The mercenaries present were all drenched in sweat, not daring to breathe, their mouths slightly open, afraid that a flash of lightning would appear before their eyes.

"Very good, that makes things much quieter. Now, I declare the Wolf Head Mercenary Group under my command, Lin Feng's command, with Qing Lin as the second-in-command. Who agrees? Who disagrees?" Lin Feng finished speaking, leaning slightly forward, exuding a subtle sense of pressure. His expression was cold and aloof, but inwardly he was ecstatic. "This is the feeling! Hehehe, someone object, I need to unleash my ultimate technique..."

Unfortunately, Lin Feng was destined to be disappointed. Even the strongest person present, Mu She, a Dou Shi realm cultivator, was killed by him without any chance to fight back. Now, no one dared to make the slightest move. Everyone was sweating profusely. Combined with the hot weather, if someone didn't know better, they might not think there was anything strange about this.

"Since that's the case, from now on, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is mine, and I don't have any demands. Just these points: First, remove the wolf head emblem from your chest; it's truly shameful. Second, no bullying men or women. Third, my orders must be carried out without exception; anyone who objects will be killed. Do you understand?" Lin Feng said coldly. For these mercenaries who had lived on the edge of death, only absolute strength and ruthlessness could truly win their respect.

As for giving them benefits, that's a joke. What benefits would you get if you haven't done anything? The only benefit is that your life is still in your hands.

"Yes, sir. From now on, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group will resolutely carry out your orders. We will never go west if you point east." A chubby, simple-minded man answered quickly, trembling, and even managed to flatter you at the end.

"Oh, who are you?" Lin Feng asked with a hint of interest. As he spoke, he walked towards Mu She and the few mercenaries he had randomly killed because he didn't like them. Another classic scene unfolded—a one-stop shop of killing and looting.

The sight sent another shiver down the spines of the mercenaries, who thought to themselves, "How many people must this fiend have killed to be so skilled?" They knew they couldn't afford to be disobedient to him in the future; they didn't want to die like this.

"Sir, my name is Hermon, and I am the third leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group..." Hermon saw that his tone was not so cold, and his simple and honest nature came out again.

"Oh! It's the third leader. So, will you avenge your leader?" Lin Feng asked quietly, as if he really wanted him to admit it.

"Ah, no, no, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is a thing of the past. There will be no more third leader. We will absolutely obey your orders, sir." Hermon was startled, his fat jiggling as he no longer dared to act recklessly.

"Well, in that case, take me to Mu She's treasure vault! Oh, right, there's one more thing, who is Mu Li?" Lin Feng seemed to remember something, glancing around with his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in the crowd took off with explosive speed and quickly headed out of Qingshan Town.

"Hemon, this guy is yours. You have to bring me his head by today, or... your head?" Lin Feng didn't want to deal with such a small fry himself. Besides, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was quite useful for dealing with these small fry.

"Yes, sir, Hermon will bring Muli's head to us." Hermon said fiercely, then led a group of men to chase after Muli.

"There's one more thing. Someone go and buy back what I just saw at Wan Yao Zhai." With that, a powerful strike shot from his right index finger, instantly killing the man who had just disgusted him and resembled Brother Crow. "If you don't have Brother Crow's life, why are you trying to imitate him?"

"Let's go check out the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's treasure trove. I want to see what kind of foundation the strongest force in Green Mountain Town has."

...Two flowers bloom, each representing a different bloom...

Pushing open a large door, a mercenary with a wrinkled face stood before him, bowing and scraping, as if afraid of accidentally angering Lin Feng. "Sir, this is where our Wolf Head Mercenary Group usually stores its treasures. Of course, some treasures are definitely kept in Mu She's storage ring."

"Okay, step back." Lin Feng waved his hand, dismissing the annoying mercenary, and prepared to explore with Qing Lin.

After the mercenaries left, Qinglin suddenly perked up, "Phew, pretending is so tiring, hehe, I'm happiest when I'm with my brother!" As she spoke, she cutely stuck out her tongue.

"Let's go, let's take a look together. Although it's just a treasure trove of a Dou Shi faction, it might yield some pleasant surprises after years of accumulation." Lin Feng patted Qing Lin's head and then walked towards the treasure trove first. Qing Lin closed her eyes and enjoyed the view for a moment. Hearing that Lin Feng had already gone ahead, she hurriedly took small steps to catch up.

Walking through what felt like a secret passageway, strange flames rose on either side, illuminating the pitch-black darkness. Then, around a corner, rows of bookshelves came into view.

Medicinal herbs, gold coins, unidentified stones, a strange wooden box...

"Brother Lin Feng, I didn't expect the Wolf Head Mercenary Group to have some collections. Hehe, they're all yours now." Qing Lin looked around, a slight smile on her face.

"I never expected this, especially since there's an Ice Spirit Grass here. It's the main ingredient for refining the fourth-grade pill, the Ice Spirit Pill." Lin Feng was also filled with joy.

Ice Spirit Pill: Peak Grade 4 Pill

Its main function is to calm the mind of cultivators at the Douling level and increase their cultivation efficiency by 30%. If used during a breakthrough, it can stabilize the mind and increase the success rate by 10%. Even if the breakthrough fails, the cultivator's level will not regress, and the breakthrough will remain stable.

Therefore, even though its refining difficulty is only at the low-grade fourth level, alchemists classify it as the peak of the fourth level. If it weren't only effective against fighting spirits, it might even be rated as the fifth level. This is also the only fourth-grade pill formula in Lin Feng's possession, and the reason he left Stone Desert City was perhaps because he couldn't find this medicinal herb anywhere else.

Now, once the matters in Qingshan Town are settled, I can go into seclusion and attempt to break through to the fourth rank.

Even in the powerful capital of Jia Ma, a fourth-grade alchemist is quite well-connected. Having harvested this medicinal herb, even without any other gains, Lin Feng still had a smile on his face.

Fifteen first-tier magic cores, mostly of wood and wind attributes. Many medicinal herbs for refining first-grade pills, but only one herb for refining second-grade pills; the Ice Spirit Grass was indeed just an unexpected bonus. And some gold coins…

After putting everything he needed into his storage ring, Lin Feng gave the Azure Phosphorous Serpent's ring, leaving it to her to keep. This delighted the little housekeeper, who couldn't stop giggling for ages. Especially when Lin Feng said "my little housekeeper," her face almost turned bright red, and Lin Feng quickly helped her up.

"Hehe, Brother Lin Feng calls me Little Housekeeper, hehe, I'm Brother Lin Feng's Little Housekeeper..."

Lin Feng sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Sigh, it's hopeless!"
