Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 692 - 712: An Unforgettable Experience

The energy of this Big-headed Ghost is really something; Lin Feng instantly felt his Dantian filled to the brim, though this energy couldn't be used at the moment. Only Ghost Qi could be utilized, while the rest had to be gradually expelled, the consequence of Sword Spirit having modified the Star Absorption Technique.

Lin Feng felt a bit distressed watching the energy within him dissipate directly, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. If only he could inject this energy into someone else.

Suddenly, he thought of Blood Shadow Frenzied Lion Xiaoying; perhaps this method could work on him. Now, he had no idea what realm Xiaoying had reached in the Magic Beast Forest, but he truly missed him a bit, as well as Golden Demon Vulture.

The absorption speed was quick, but expelling the energy completely took much longer. Lin Feng spent almost half an hour to get it sorted out.

Effort deserves reward; at this moment, he had accumulated a certain amount of Ghost Qi within him. Absorbing a few more Ghost Race individuals might not attract attention. Lin Feng was very pleased with this.

In the following days, Lin Feng hid in the shadows, using his Divine Sense to observe the surrounding area within a hundred meters. During this time, he absorbed the Ghost Qi of at least a dozen Ghost Race beings, whose strength varied, with the strongest having reached the Sixth-Layer Peak of the Saint Martial Realm. After absorbing so much Ghost Qi, Lin Feng was now shrouded in a layer of mist-like Ghost Qi.

Even those from the Ghost Race might not recognize that he was actually a member of the Human Race, except for Venerable Martial Realm experts, of course. "It's time to take a look at Wangtu City. Currently, only the City Lord's Mansion has the Netherworld Purple Orchid, I need to find a way to enter the City Lord's Mansion." Lin Feng said at this point.

He immediately entered Wangtu City, encountering numerous Ghost Race individuals along the way. After donning a black robe to disguise himself thoroughly, not a single Ghost Race noticed his identity, which left Lin Feng quite satisfied.

The Ghost Race's city similarly had streets, vendors calling out their wares, as well as taverns and inns. Lin Feng wandered around Wangtu City for half a day and obtained many useful things.

In the Netherworld, Nether Stone was equivalent to Star Stone; the more Nether Stone one had, the more respectable they were. With the Nether Stone Lin Feng currently possessed, he was merely a pauper; a little over a thousand Nether Stone was indeed too little.

At this point, Lin Feng arrived in front of a tavern; he didn't recognize the characters written on it, but he could clearly hear the sounds of eating and drinking inside.

Upon entering, a Ghost Race waiter immediately greeted him, saying: "Sir, what do you need? We have the finest Nether Beast blood and flesh; which would you like?"

Hearing this made Lin Feng feel uncomfortable; he glanced at the Ghost Race beside him eating, discovering these guys were eating some Nether Beast flesh raw, blood dripping in a horrifying manner. Some were even drinking the deep red blood in large gulps, staining their mouths entirely, coupled with their already frightful appearance, such sights would surely cause nightmares to the timid.

"Just a glass of water and a pot of wine, please. I've been eating too much Nether Beast meat lately and it's unsettling my digestion!" Lin Feng said somewhat awkwardly, unsure of what he should have at the moment.

"Water? Sir, our establishment doesn't serve water as a dish, would you like to try something else instead?" The waiter asked Lin Feng, looking puzzled.

"Damn it, this Ghost Race place truly isn't fit for humans; they don't even know what water is, it seems I'll be going hungry here." Lin Feng thought to himself.

"Alright then, bring me a serving of Nether Beast meat and wine, and hurry up—your Nether Stone won't be short!" Lin Feng said helplessly.

He then went to sit in a corner of the tavern; this way, he wouldn't draw attention while also being able to overhear some matters concerning Wangtu City, which would greatly aid his entry into the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, the waiter brought over what Lin Feng had ordered. It was a portion of Nether Beast's hind leg, still dripping fresh blood. "Sir, this Nether Beast was just slaughtered at our tavern; the taste is extraordinarily fresh, please try it!"

Lin Feng glanced at the waiter and replied: "I understand, you can go now. I'll savor it slowly!"

He wasn't about to eat the Nether Beast meat raw in front of the waiter; he was neither beast nor Ghost Race, how could he possibly do such a thing? However, to avoid drawing attention from those nearby, he picked up the Nether Beast meat and took a bite, deliberately smearing the blood on his lips.

Taking advantage of no one noticing, he quickly stored the Nether Beast meat in his Storage Ring; though the Nether Beast meat had bones, and even starving, he couldn't consume bones, could he? Helplessly, he had to say to the Demon Lord within the Storage Ring: "Demon Lord, help me remove the bones from the Nether Beast meat, I've reached the Ghost Race's territory in the Netherworld."

"You rascal, always causing me trouble. Of the Five Great Races in the Netherworld, you picked the Ghost Race, the most dangerous and troublesome place. People usually can't survive here; the Ghost Race will surely devour you alive if they find out you're from the Human Race." The Demon Lord replied irritably.

"It's not like I have a choice, lend a hand please; it's inconvenient surrounded by Ghost Race individuals, I have to eat something to avoid suspicion, but I really can't stomach this raw meat!" Lin Feng said.

"Wait a moment, I'll let you know when it's done—truly, you amaze me!" The Demon Lord replied afterward.

Lin Feng picked up the wine on the table and poured himself a glass, drinking it all in one go, nearly crying out in shock; this wasn't wine at all, but rather bitter water, so bitter it almost made him spit it out.

"This is wine? My god, how can the Ghost Race have tastes so heavy? Bitter water like this can be considered fine wine, then what must genuine fine wine be like?" Lin Feng thought to himself helplessly; the bitterness was more intense than even Chinese goldthread.

Unaware that the more bitter the Ghost Race's wine, the more refined it was; with some exceptional wines, one can feel the bitterness just by smelling them. Only then did he realize this place was truly unsuitable.

"It's ready, take it and remember not to drink the wine here—it's unforgettable!" The Demon Lord cautioned.

"Why didn't you mention that earlier? I've already drunk a glass, my mouth filled with bitterness—it's unbearable!" Lin Feng complained, his words sounding like a post-mortem.

Then, he retrieved the Nether Beast bones from his Storage Ring, along with some Nether Beast meat, placing it on the plate. Now, he dared not drink further, only holding the wine cup to maintain appearances.

Not far from him, two Ghost Race individuals were conversing; Lin Feng's ear sensitivity allowed him to clearly overhear them, one saying: "I heard the City Lord's Mansion is recruiting elites again, the pay is very generous, a hundred Nether Stone a month."

"I've heard of it too, but only ten elites will be chosen. For us, there's little hope; our strength simply can't match those Saint Martial Realm experts, might be enough just to see the spectacle." Said the other.

After hearing this, Lin Feng felt there was potential; he immediately proceeded toward the two of them...
