Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 517 A Losing Deal, The Merging of Apes

"Miss Little Fairy Doctor, I heard that gentleman is now a Dou Wang powerhouse. Is that true or not?"

After exchanging a few words, Ferre, the leader of the Blood War Mercenary Group, rubbed his hands together and took the initiative to ask the question that everyone was most concerned about.

Upon hearing this, the two people next to him also perked up their ears.

Seeing the curiosity on the faces of the three, Little Fairy Doctor slowly put down her teacup and calmly said.

"Didn't a lot of people see it at the entrance of town back then?"

Do I need to say anything more?

Little Fairy Doctor knew that what happened at the entrance of Qingshan Town could not be hidden from the shrewd people in front of her, so she had no intention of concealing it.

Upon hearing this, the three of them gasped in shock.

They never expected that the word-of-mouth news was actually true.

"But didn't Mr. Tie previously claim to be a Fighting Spirit?"

Mu She couldn't help but ask.

As a participant in the cave incident, he still remembered that when Jin Renfeng kidnapped Xiao Yixian, he claimed to be at the Douling realm.

"How did he become a Battle King in just a few months?"

"At that time, he was indeed only at the peak of the Dou Ling realm."

Little Fairy Doctor took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"He only recently advanced to the Dou Wang level!"

"You were only promoted recently?"

Mu She stared blankly, never expecting this outcome.

That's incredibly lucky!
The threshold of the Battle King realm is the biggest hurdle in the early stages of cultivation, defining the boundary between the strong and mortals.

Countless peak-level Douling experts are stuck here, unable to move an inch.

As a result, Tie Zhongkui, whose background was unknown, achieved a breakthrough in just a few months, which was extremely lucky.

"Such a great figure has actually emerged from my Qingshan Town!"

Ferre stared blankly, and said in a daze.

In a small town where there are hardly any Battle Masters, the sudden appearance of a Battle King is like a Dragon King emerging from a stream.

"In terms of background, he can't be considered a native of Qingshan Town!"

Little Fairy Doctor gently shook her head and said calmly.

She knew all too well about the man's background; it had absolutely nothing to do with Qingshan Town.

If she weren't here, the man probably wouldn't show up in Qingshan Town at all.

"I have long admired Mr. Tie. Miss Little Fairy Doctor, could you please introduce me to him?"

"The leader of the Iron Wall Mercenary Group said eagerly."

"As long as we can meet that lord, our Ironwall Mercenary Group is willing to offer a generous gift."

"We are willing to offer up our entire fortune!"

Upon seeing this, Ferre and Mushe, who were standing nearby, quickly spoke up as well.

Even the slightest connection with a powerful expert at the Battle King level can bring immense benefits to a small mercenary group like theirs.

They naturally didn't want to miss such an opportunity to rise to the top.

Little Fairy Doctor shook her head and said in a deep voice,
"If you're trying to find him, you're probably wasting your time!"

"Given his personality, he doesn't like to associate with strangers."

"Besides, we won't be staying here for long."

"I reckon he'll take me away from Qingshan Town as soon as he gets back. Even if you see him, you won't get away with it!"

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disappointment.

As expected, this Dou Wang expert looked down on their so-called three major mercenary groups in Qingshan Town.

Although it was expected, the result is still disheartening.

"In that case, we have been presumptuous!"

The leader of the Iron Arm Mercenary Group gave an awkward smile and made no further mention of the introduction.

Now that the other party has made their refusal clear, it would be ungrateful to insist on it.

As the leader of a mercenary group, he would never do such a foolish thing.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On the way back, Mu She's face was gloomy.

He was very unhappy that he visited with generous gifts but received nothing in return.

"Father! What did that Little Fairy Doctor say? Did she agree to support our Wolf Head Mercenary Group?"

Beside him, Muli asked curiously.

Mushe's tone was icy.

"That girl is as cunning as a devil; she won't even introduce me to anyone."

"Not to mention helping our Wolf Head!"

"This is too much! Our Wolf Head Mercenary Group took such good care of her before!"

Muli said indignantly.

Mu She stopped, looked his son up and down, and frowned.
"Didn't you say you had a good relationship with that Little Fairy Doctor? Why is she treating you so badly this time?"

He brought Mu Li along specifically to get closer to Little Fairy Doctor.

I originally thought that since this kid had been pursuing that girl for so long and even mobilized his own mercenary group to protect her, even if they couldn't be together now, there must still be some affection between them.

Unexpectedly, they wouldn't even let him in the door.

Upon hearing this, Mu Li gave a dry laugh.

My family knows their own affairs.

From beginning to end, his relationship with Little Fairy Doctor was entirely one-sided.
The little girl had always been indifferent to him. She only dared not retaliate because of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Now that the other party has a Dou Wang level expert as a backer, they naturally don't take him seriously.

Seeing his son's behavior, Mu She immediately understood what was going on.

"Useless trash!"

He was furious and immediately cursed out loud.

Over the past few years, this kid has mobilized countless mercenary groups for the sake of that Little Fairy Doctor.

The amount of money spent is countless.

The result was a waste of so many mercenary men and time; it was simply idiotic.

Mu Li was inexplicably scolded and dared not argue.

"I just told you to stand guard outside the door? Where did you go?"

Mu She grew increasingly annoyed and asked in a cold voice.

"You've all gone into the courtyard, leaving me alone to guard outside."

"I was bored, so I went to a tavern first."

"Muli said in a low voice."

"At such a crucial time, you're out drinking and having fun!"

Mu She glared at the young man.
"What a hopeless case!"

"Although I did disobey your orders, in the end, I didn't cause any major delays!"

Muli said indignantly.

"There's not a soul in sight outside that courtyard. What good would it do me to guard it?"

"Do you know that three thieves just sneaked into that courtyard?"

Mu's voice was filled with rage.

"what?"

Muli was stunned into silence.

"How dare someone sneak into that residence at this time?"

To sneak into the courtyard when the three mercenary leaders of Qingshan Town are all gathered there—what could possibly be wrong with him!
"If you had been outside and captured those three thieves, you would definitely have won that girl's favor."

Mu She was disappointed that the iron was not up to par.

"But you've completely missed this golden opportunity!"

He admitted that Little Fairy Doctor hadn't had a good impression of the three major mercenary groups in the past.

After all, he hadn't really paid much attention to this girl in the past, and their relationship wasn't very harmonious.

It's truly frustrating to miss a perfectly good opportunity to shine.

It should be noted that the other two regimental commanders didn't bring anyone with them; only he brought his son. This opportunity should have been given to them.

But in the end, they missed out entirely.

"I never expected anyone would dare to sneak into the residence of a Dou Wang powerhouse at this time."

Muli said guiltily.

"Besides, you were right there in the courtyard at the time. You could have easily taken him down yourself. Why did you have to make me do it?"

"If I had the option to intervene, would I need to rely on you?"

Mushe's eyes narrowed, he clenched his fist, and roared.
"That little fairy doctor must have learned some poison skills from somewhere. Those three stupid thieves were drugged as soon as they entered the courtyard."

"The three of us haven't even seen the person yet, how could we have had a chance to make a move!"

Muli understood.

So the old man couldn't find an opportunity to make a move, so he took his anger out on him.

Raising his fist, he hesitated for a moment, then Mu She snorted coldly, turned around, and strode forward.

Seeing that he hadn't been beaten, Mu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"But speaking of which, Dad, haven't you ever thought about doing a business deal like those three bumbling thieves?"

Seeing his father so angry, Mu Li rolled his eyes and asked.

"What do you mean?"

Mu She frowned.

"Father, those three stupid thieves may be foolish, but I think their methods are all correct."

A sinister smile appeared on Muli's face.

"That Little Fairy Doctor has now climbed up to that Dou Wang powerhouse; she must possess many treasures."

"If we rob her, we can make a fortune."

"You mean you attacked Little Fairy Doctor?"

Mu She countered with a question.

"That Little Fairy Doctor is heartless, so don't blame us for being unjust!"

Mu said triumphantly.

"That Little Fairy Doctor is just a fighter. Now that Tie Zhongkui is not here, she is no match for us on her own."

"The only troublesome thing is her poisons."

"If we prepare some antidote pills to neutralize the poison, we will surely be able to take her down in one fell swoop and seize the treasure that the Battle King gave her."

"Idiot, so what? What are you going to do when that Dou Wang expert comes back?"

Mu She's expression was icy as he questioned him.

"If we conceal our whereabouts and disguise our appearance, how could Tie Zhongkui possibly find out?"

Muli laughed.

"Even if he is a Battle King, he is not omnipotent!"

"What a brilliant scheme!"

Upon hearing this, Mu She gave him a look as if he were an idiot and said coldly.

"So, Father, you agree?"

Muli asked.

"Agree to what?!"

Mushe roared and cursed.
"How could I have such a stupid son!"

"The other two major mercenary groups are keeping an eye on that Little Fairy Doctor. Do you think you can hide this from them?"

"And what makes you think a Dou Wang level expert would give you evidence?"

"For a Dou Wang level expert, wiping out a town is an effortless task!"

"Do you want everyone in Qingshan Town to perish because of your stupid idea?"

"That Tie Zhongkui is a powerful figure, surely he wouldn't go on a killing spree over some low-level treasures!"

Muli said awkwardly.

"If all else fails, we can just flee Qingshan Town, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in Mu She's eyes.

He kicked the young man to the ground and cursed loudly.

"For a treasure whose authenticity is unknown, they abandoned their mercenary group's foundation and fled Green Mountain Town."

"You actually did this kind of losing business? Did you get your head stuck in a door?"

After being thoroughly scolded, Mu Li finally realized what was happening.

Ultimately, they were not rootless wandering mercenaries.

For their family, the mercenary group is the foundation.

Even if there really is such a thing as a King of Fighters' treasure, its value is hard to determine.

To risk one's life and ruin one's stable business for something whose true nature is unknown is a completely unwise move!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A week later!

Jin Renfeng sat cross-legged on a rock beside the waterfall and took out the Crimson Blood Cauldron from his storage ring. He then took out a large pile of medicinal herbs, covering the rock completely.

After verifying the quantities of the medicinal herbs one by one, he rubbed his hands together and tossed a ball of Illusory Sea Flame toward the medicine cauldron.

Deep blue flames roared inside the cauldron.

Jin Renfeng smiled with satisfaction. After the flames warmed the medicine cauldron, he began to select the medicinal herbs from among the various herbs with his right hand.

This time, he did not use any prescriptions, but prepared to develop his own unique formula.

Jin Renfeng's hand moved over the hundred kinds of herbs in front of him. He paused and took out a red fruit that smelled of photinia flowers.

The Serpent Desire Fruit typically grows only in dark places where high-level demonic serpents have mated. Serpents are quite lewd, and this fruit also possesses some special medicinal properties.

After selecting the Snake Desire Fruit, Jin Renfeng's gaze shifted to a section of ancient vine entwined with golden threads.

This ancient vine is called "Entangling Silk" or "Flowing Water," and it is a medicinal herb specifically used to enhance female sexual pleasure.

After taking out the ancient vine, Jin Renfeng grabbed more than a dozen other medicinal herbs, most of which had special aphrodisiac effects.

After selecting the medicinal herbs, Jin Renfeng first threw the red fruit into the medicine cauldron.

Blue flames rose up, and with a single swirling motion, they baked away the moisture, turning it into a cloud of red powder.

As his strength increased, the power of the Illusionary Sea Flame also rose accordingly. Refining such low-grade medicinal herbs was completely effortless.

Without stopping, Jin Renfeng tossed the medicinal herbs into the cauldron one after another. His powerful soul force allowed him to easily control everything that happened inside the cauldron.

After burning the last seven-leaf flower into powder, Jin Renfeng threw a pink magic crystal into the medicine cauldron.

As soon as the magic crystal entered the medicine cauldron, it was scorched by the flames and turned into a liquid that emitted an eerie pink light. At the same time, a unique fishy smell wafted out of the medicine cauldron.

Upon seeing this, Jin Renfeng quickly covered his mouth and nose.

This magic crystal belongs to the second-tier magical beast, the Fusion Ape, and is one of his unique collections.

He Yuan, though his name is ordinary, possesses rather peculiar abilities.

As a type of magical beast, this magical beast is not strong in combat, but it has strong desires by nature. It not only does not discriminate between magical beasts of all kinds, but also has a strong desire for humans.

In the Gama Empire, there are frequent reports of women being raped and killed by the ape.

Therefore, for humans, these monsters are truly harmful beasts.

Jin Renfeng often stumbled upon it by chance, casually killed it, and obtained this magic crystal.

Having completed the extraction of all the medicinal materials, Jin Renfeng mobilized his soul power to blend more than a dozen different colored medicinal liquids and powders into one in sequence.

Finally, a clump of white powder slowly floated into the medicine cauldron.

Looking at the clump of powder, Jin Renfeng chuckled, waved his hand, lifted the lid of the cauldron, and put the powder into the jade bottle in his hand.

After much effort, I finally succeeded in refining this self-created medicinal powder.

He brought the jade bottle to his nose and took a gentle sniff. Immediately, a faint fragrance wafted out of the bottle.

"The smell does meet my requirements; it doesn't have the pungent smell of typical medications."

"Judging from this energy level, it's at least a second-grade pill."

Jin Renfeng murmured.

"I wonder how effective these herbs will be!"

Although he created this powder himself, he couldn't quite grasp its specific effects.

"To be on the safe side, it's best to try it out on a World of Warcraft game."

Thinking of this, Jin Renfeng turned his gaze to the deep forest.

That area is the habitat of some first-tier red-browed macaques.
