nAfter getting down from the taxi, Lin Sheng looked around.

nAll around him was a sea of verdant vegetable farms.

nNot too far away were rows of greenhouses with rows upon rows of eye-catching white cotton plants lined between the green fields.

n“Follow the small path to the right, and you’ll arrive at the Mingri Fruit Garden. If you are looking to bulk purchase fruits, that’s the best place to start.”

nThe taxi driver gave him some tips.

n

n

n“Thanks, sir.” Lin Sheng nodded as he lifted his bag and went towards the dirt path.

nGentle breeze flew along the path and carried with it the scent of grass.

nLin Sheng felt the air was much fresher, and he was much more awake. Huaisha City always had that seawater smell, and the air here was totally different.

nAs he walked along the path, he very quickly reached a plantation with neat rows of verdant trees.

nThe trees were thick with leaves but Lin Sheng had no idea what sort of fruit tree was it as he could not see any fruit between the branches.

nBy the side was a sign saying. “Private fruit farm. Please do not pluck the fruits.

nAnd by the side was the entrance to the fruit farm. A dirt path with tire tracks on it.

n

n

nLin Sheng followed the path into the farm.

nAt the end of the path were two mud houses, and an old farmer stood by the door, sticking something on the wooden door frame.

n“Hello, I’m a student from the provincial agricultural university, and I’m here to study a farm pest called the white spider…”

nLin Sheng quickly stepped forward as he spun a tale, and stuffed a hundred bucks into the old farmer’s hand.

nThe old farmer probably did not even understand what he was talking about but smiled anyway as he received some money.

n“Go on, go on. As long as you don’t ruin the trees!”

nLin Sheng then took out his glass bottles and entered the fruit farm to look for white spiders.

n

n

nBut what he did not expect was due to the cold weather, he had only managed to find and capture two after a good while.

nHalfway through the old farmer came over to look, seemingly to monitor him.

nThe moment he saw he was really catching white spiders, only did he slowly leave.

nAfter two odd hours scouring across the entire fruit farm only did he manage to finally get a dozen white spiders that he needed.

nUpon storing the bottles containing the spiders into his bag, he carefully slung it over and turned towards the path out of the fruit farm.

nAt that very moment, youth with a blue short hair walked over from the opposite side.

nThe youth had his hands in his pocket, as he wore a white wool shirt and black long pants. He looked like he had just gotten out of a car without any speck of mud on him.

n

n

nThe youth randomly swept his gaze past him before looking away. And Lin Sheng could sense that this person had a special aura to him.

nHis body was ringing alarm bells.

nThis sort of cautiousness was a natural reflex stemming from the mercenary swordsman he had killed at first.

nHis body will naturally go into alert the moment he encounters someone who could potentially threaten him.

nAnd the moment he got close to the youth, goosebumps were all over him.

nAs if he was just a step away from the jaws of a ferocious tiger.

n“The only thing that could threaten me is a level three, a level three or above supernatural being!” Lin Sheng had never thought of actually meeting a supernatural existence in reality.

nThe warmth in his body seemed to be triggered as it started roiling and heating his abdomen up.

n

n

nHe had no idea how strong the opponent was, but it was okay, the latter did not notice his uniqueness.

nLin Sheng kept calm and left with his bag.

nThe blue-haired youth stood where he stopped and lifted his watch at times, seemingly waiting for someone.

nLin Sheng did not stop as he continued onward until he could no longer see the youth. Even then, he still kept calm and walked until the town street.

nOnly then did he stop and hailed a taxi.

nVery soon, a blue taxi stopped before him.

nLin Sheng quickly got in the car. “To Yushu Street please!” He quickly gave his destination.

nThe car then started moving, leaving the suburb behind.

nAs the car drew a distance only did Lin Sheng managed to relax.

n“There’s a powerful existence at least at level three in Huaisha City? Was he here all this while? Or an outsider that had come here recently?”

nAs he wondered, a sense of peril started to form.

n“Ah, screw that. I’ve gotten the needed materials today, and I’ll perform the ritual tomorrow. If it doesn’t work then I will need to focus on breaking through the holy powers.”

nAs it was triggered earlier, the warmth in his body was clearly agitated, and it started to move even faster.

nLin Sheng felt that he was close to breaking through, but he did not know when will that opportunity comes.

nBased on the Blackfeather City’s sacred tome, a paladin’s breakthrough is different from a normal warrior’s. A normal warrior’s breakthrough was an overall increase in physical attributes and nothing more.

nIt was different for a paladin.

nAside from an increase in their overall physical attributes, there is also a change to the Ashen Seal they have.

nAnd this enhancement is normally based on the back on the Ashen Seal’s base ability.

nBut until now Lin Sheng had not met a proper paladin yet, or perhaps he had already met one but failed to recognize it.

nAfter getting back to the city, Lin Sheng went to the traditional medicine shop and bought the rest of the materials. He then went to a farmer’s bazaar to get a bucket of solidified pig oil.

nIt there was any leftovers from the ritual, he could still use it to cook. So no waste there.

n…

nPort District, the Golden Barrel Bar.

nChen Hang was seated in a suite, his face grim as he drank pint after pint of beer.

nAnd beside him, was a slothful looking hulk of a man.

n“Chen Hang, we have not met for four years now right?” The round-faced brute slowly sipped a glass of wine.

n“Yes, it has been four years.” Chen Hang nodded.

n“So, you coming to look for me, means you have something to ask for me.” The man said. “You know, I promised you three favors. You have used up two.”

n“I know.” Chen Hang was impassive. “This is the last one.”

n“So? You still want to use it?” the brute asked again.

n“I have no choice.” Chen Hang replied flatly.

n“The murderer could kill my son even when he was under the protection of a dozen elite bodyguards and escape without a scratch. Aside from you, I don’t know who could go up against such a person.”

nThe brute nodded.

n“I heard about your son. Since you have decided, just send me the details.”

n“Okay!” Chen Hang said stiffly.

nAs long as the person before him agreed, he knew that the murderer was a dead man!

nThe reason was the man before him was no ordinary person. He was a Darksider who had once served the Heart of the Ocean!

nA terrifying existence that had hunted and killed a special force team! Xie Yaohui, the Venomancer.

n“Remember to prepare the cash.” Xie Yaohui the Venomancer smiled.

nChen Hang nodded.

n“No problem, but since this is the last time we will work together, can you let me see what that legendary dark power actually is?”

nWhile he had been working with the Venomancer for a while now, he had never had the chance to witness that terrifying power.

nAnd this was his last chance.
