Chapter 86: A Chase!

"No wonder you were willing to offer 30 million US dollars. That item truly does have an inestimable value!"

Huang Lin shook his head and sighed.

"By the way, Little Boss, could it be that the reason your food is so pricey is because you're adding in the value of that large cauldron into the price tag?"

Huang Lin suddenly turned around and asked, a strange expression on his face.

A precious treasure like this was actually being used by this little boss as a pot to stew soup. If it were anybody else who had obtained something like that, they would definitely hide it away carefully and take great care of it, afraid of knocking or bumping into it.

"Definitely not. The price is fully justified based on my conscience!"

Bei Feng did not admit it, and instead lifted up his chin like the most honorable restaurant owner in the world.

'How naive. Did you think I was going to tell you that this cauldron is in fact doing all the work?'

Bei Feng snickered darkly in his heart. To be honest, the price tag of 100,000 yuan could really be considered a pretty ethical price already. Where else would someone go to buy food containing such high energy?

Every time the cauldron was used for cooking, the medicinal essence imbued within it would become less dense. Such a high price was naturally justified! Not mentioning the taste, if a normal person ate the food cooked in the medicinal cauldron regularly over a period of time, even if they did not manage to prolong their life, it would not be a problem to be free from all diseases and illnesses until the day they die.

"Forget it, I'll deposit 1 million as well. I'll at least gain some face by telling people that I've eaten food stewed in the Houmuwu Rectangle Cauldron," Huang Lin muttered to himself as he transferred the money to Bei Feng's account.

Only Zhang Bao Jun did not move to add in any deposit. He only stood grumpily to side, throwing gazes full of longing at the large cauldron.

"This is my name card. If you ever changed your mind and wish to let go of the cauldron, you can give me a call. We can still talk about the price again at that time."

Zhang Bao Jun looked as though he was being led to the execution ground, turning around to look at the cauldron every few steps as though he were reluctant to leave it behind.

As for reporting the discovery of a national treasure to the authorities? Zhang Bao Jun and the rest did not even consider a naive option like that.

In order to ascend to their current status from a lowly background, which of the old men present could honestly touch his heart and say that all their actions had been completely clean and uncorrupted?

"En, not bad, I got another 2 million yuan just like that!"

Having sent Wang Jian's group off, Bei Feng laid on his belly on the bed, grinning foolishly as he looked at the account balance on his mobile phone.

His pupils had nearly assumed the shape of the "$" symbol. To Bei Feng, earning a ton of money one day was an earnest dream of his since he was young.

Even now, his desire for progressing in cultivation and obtaining more strength was the only one ranking higher than his greed for money.

As a kid, Bei Feng used to think that having money was the most important thing to have to feel a sense of security. But right now, he felt more confidence in his own strength, and knew that only vast personal power was the most reliable thing in the world.

After busying around for the entire afternoon without actually doing anything and yet having felt like he had done a lot, the day slipped by unknowingly, never to return.

Bei Feng rose early the next day and donned a snow white training robe before proceeding up the mountain as usual.

The training robe was plain, and did not have many patterns woven into it. The sleeves were long and wide, and the robe itself hugged his body while at the same time being somewhat loose, fitting him perfectly.

'Not bad. Apart from the price tag on the expensive stuff, everything else about those pricey items is all good. But apart from the price tag on the cheap stuff, everything else about it s*cks!'

Bei Feng waved his arms about, marveling at the comfortable feeling the training robe on his body brought him. It was unknown what the material the training robe was made of, but it felt extremely light and airy, as though he was wearing nothing.

By the time Bei Feng casually made his way up the mountain and reached the rocky platform, the three Mystics were already there, each one immersed in their own training, practicing Minor Illumination Breathing Technique seriously.

A brief moment later, Bei Feng opened his eyes and woke up from his meditative state. To his amazement, he had realized that his progress in the breathing technique had not really halted. Although he was still stuck at the Peak of Minor Completion, he found that the tinge of purple in the sunrays he was absorbing was actually increasing with each day.

Bei Feng was also unclear about what use the purplish ray had. It disappeared the moment it entered his body and no matter how Bei Feng tried to detect it, he could not find even the slightest trace of it!

'I guess it shouldn't be anything that's harmful to my body...'

Although he didn't know what the purplish ray was, when he compared it with the gold-glazed sunrays, he still felt that it should be something good as well.

On a woody hill nearby, a group of people could be seen dashing through with unbelievable speed. Each and every single one of them had extraordinary abilities, for they seemed to be completely unhindered by the rough and rugged mountainous path, traversing it as though it were flat ground.

"Captain, what's the background of this fellow?"

Liu Qing looked curiously at the lanky man in front of him and asked.

"He's a martial practitioner from a small country in Southeast Asia, and he's pretty skilled. The report says that he's at the Peak level of Dark Jing realm. He's supposedly not far from breaking through to a Master at the Evolved Jing realm!"

Liu Jie [1] had a grave expression on his face, but he still felt a little excited in his heart. This was an expert at the Peak of Dark Jing! His hand unconsciously moved to touch the 2-meter-long bow on his back.

"Heng! It doesn't matter what his background is. Having committed such a terrible and bloody crime, even if he ran to the ends of the earth, we'll still drag him back with us!"

A young man with short, spiky hair who looked to be around 20 years old snorted frostily. His pupils twinkled dangerously as he spoke, causing all who heard his words to shudder involuntarily. It was obvious that this young man possessed great strength!

His aura was without restrain, and his words and tone emanated a strong sense of self confidence!

"Nantian, don't underestimate the opponent. He is, after all, a Peak Dark Jing expert, and is probably only a step away from reaching Evolved Jing! I don't want to be dragged down because of your carelessness and end up having to collect your corpse from the scene after that!" Jin Rong warned coldly.

"Heh. You don't need to worry about me. Instead, you should just worry about yourself! It'll be such a hassle to ask me to drag your corpse back!" Nantian snickered in response.

The two were both vice captains of this squad. The captain, Liu Jie, was about to be promoted to another unit soon and the position of the captain would be filled by one of those two. [2]

Nantian and Jin Rong could barely stand the sight of each other, and would try their best to ridicule the other whenever they had a chance.

"Alright, that's enough. Our target is now akin to a cornered beast with no way out. We just need to be extra careful of any desperate strikes and we'll be fine. Let's go faster!" Liu Jie furrowed his brows and interrupted the two as he warned with a serious tone.

Nantian and Jin Rong snorted coldly and looked away from each other, their bodies shooting forward with even greater speed.

Mahmud cut an extremely sorry figure as he dashed wildly through the dense jungle. His eyes were like that of a wild beast, roving about madly in his eye sockets as he surveyed his surroundings. If anyone were to look at him now, they would freak out and run away shrieking at the top of their lungs.

Mahmud felt extremely wronged and miserable. Wasn't it just slaughtering three families? Was there really a need to raise such a big rumpus and send so many people after him?!

This was how the situation happened--Mahmud who had spent most of his life living in Southeast Asia felt that China was not a bad place to visit, and beauties were also supposedly very bountiful there. Thus, he decided to sneak into the country for some fun.

Two days ago, heavily intoxicated, Mahmud spotted the girl living next door returning home, and saw that she was very beautiful. Under the influence of alcohol, he forcefully barged into her home.

After savagely ravaging the girl, he proceeded to slaughter her husband and parents!

Unable to bear the humiliation, the girl bit her tongue and bled out beside her dead family.

The neighboring families who came to investigate after hearing the commotion were also murdered by the red-eyed Mahmud who was on a killing spree!

Thus began Mahmud's tragedy when the police put him down as a wanted man and sent numerous officers to surround and bring him in.

However, given his strength, the police officers were completely unable to do anything to him. In the end, two officers were even sacrificed, inducing the wrath of the higher-ups from the Department of Public Safety, causing them to almost pop a vein in their rage! A few teams of Special Assault Forces were immediately dispatched to hunt him down!

Although he was extremely strong, Mahmud was not invulnerable to bullets! Thus, he was quickly forced to flee like a homeless cur. If he hadn't ran into the cover of the dense forest, he would have been shot down long ago!

Taking advantage of the terrain, Mahmud was like a fish released into water, easily escaping the pursuit of the Special Assault Forces. He even found the time to turn back and kill a few of his pursuers!

'It's been a while since those fellows showed themselves. I reckon they've been beaten too badly and don't dare to keep coming after me!' Mahmud snickered arrogantly in his heart. 'So what if it's China, one of the superpowers? Aren't I coming and going as I please?!'

"Shua!"

Just as he was daydreaming and immersed in his arrogance, a sharp, shrill sound suddenly appeared from his back, shooting through the air at high speed!

Mahmud felt a terrible chill in his heart and immediately forced his body to the side to dodge.

"Puuf!"

A straight arrow made of titanium alloy shot cleanly through Mahmud's left arm, bringing a large chunk of flesh along with it!
