I Can Extract Everything - Chapter 157: The Late Stage of Foundation Establishment

Less than five minutes, several figures appeared above the Lu Manor. Obviously, they were attracted by the massive explosion that suddenly shook the city.

“What happened here?” The old man in the yellow robe frowned.

“A Core Formation exploded their core and destroyed the entire manor. There wasn’t much of a trace of fighting, the stench of blood was thick, the explosion pulverized the dead bodies… That meant it was a one-sided massacre…”  The middle-aged man with a reserved demeanor analyzed the surroundings.

“Crap, I hope they’re still some leftovers in this manor.” Without thinking, the man carrying the heavy sword on his back went straight down to the manor.

“Jiu Yang, this is Lu Qin’s manor. He’s the manager of Black Water Auction House, and I believe that every little thing that happens in this manor is under the jurisdiction of Black Water Auction House. If you move even a single brick of this manor, you will be considered an enemy….”

A woman with very long hair tried to interfere with Jiu Yang’s actions, but the opposing party did not heed his warning.

Apparently, not only Jiu Yang but several other unwelcome guests also ignored her warning.

“I hope the explosion didn’t completely destroy the garden.”

“Everyone, don’t fight with me, haha!”

“Get lost. Everything depends on skill and strength!”

They descended into the ruined manor with their covetous intentions.

Watching this scene, the long-haired woman grits her teeth and eventually follows their suit and “investigates” what happened here.

“Huff…”

Pure Spiritual Qi breathed out of Qin Yi’s mouth.

He had just successfully broken through two consecutive small realms.

From the Early to the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment, Qin Yi spent 500,000 Cultivation Points. Meanwhile, from the Middle to Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment, he spent 1,000,000. In total, he had just lost 1,500,000 Cultivation Points.

Now he’s broke.

The Cultivation Points that he and Qin Feng had accumulated from the two big cities now only had 800 points left.

However, even though he was broke, he did not regret it. Cultivation Point is meant to increase his cultivation base.

Nowadays, he doesn’t really need to convert those points to Mastery Points. Since his aptitude changed to high grade, practicing martial arts became much easier.

He could even master Heaven Grade Martial Arts to Small Accomplishment within a week, let alone Human Grade or Earth Grade. Using the help of his clones was even faster.

Apart from his cultivation base, his Spiritual Mind has also broken through 100 and reached 102. Qin Yi and his clones’ bitter efforts have finally paid off.

After his Spiritual Mind also broke through 100, Qin Yi’s understanding of the various Secondary Professions increased sharply; he became smarter.

Now he was confident that he could concoct Rank 2 pills.

“Let’s go to Mystical Garden!”

Qin Yi suddenly has an urge to concoct pills.

However, just as he was about to enter the Mystical Garden, a knock on the door from Yin Chen made him halt.

Qin Yi frowned slightly.

Yin Chen usually never bothered him in the middle of the night unless something serious happened.

Qin Yi shouted, “Come in!”

Soon, Yin Chen entered the room, cupped his fists, and made a shocking report.

…

“What? Manager Lu’s manor exploded, and his entire family was exterminated?” Qin Yi was first shocked upon hearing this news.

On the contrary, Yin Chen did not express his emotions much about this incident.

The extermination of families is not uncommon. In fact, it happens every time in various places, especially in small families with nothing to rely on. Some were even destroyed for having a single more grain than the others.

Even Shadow House, which has many experts, including three Nascent souls, could be destroyed in a single night. Let alone Lu Manor, consisting of only several people with the strongest cultivator was at the Early Stage of Core Formation.

“What about Manager Lu himself?” Qin Yi asked.

“The one who exploded is Manager Lu.” Yin Chen instantly answered.

“That’s awful. I just met him this afternoon in the flesh, but now his flesh is not even a bit left.” Qin Yi is feeling sad.

Lu Qin is a good, professional, and trustworthy person; that’s Qin Yi’s first impression of Lu Qin. Unfortunately…

Qin Yi fell silent for a long time before speaking again, “Chen’er, can you investigate the deaths of Manager Lu and his family?”

He has no intention of seeking justice for them.

He only felt a little doubt about Lu Qin’s tragedy that happened too suddenly and coincidentally.

That has nothing to do with what happened this afternoon, right?

Qin Yi shook his head and thought that he was overthinking.

Although Yin Chen was confused, he still nodded regardless.

“Should we visit Manager Lu’s manor and mourn for him and his family?”

“Lu Manor was destroyed, and people are currently ransacking every gold in that manor. I think we should do it another time, Master.”

“Well, you’re right… Those greedy people are not good to interrupt.”

“You’re right, master.”

“By the way, you should find a house for us starting from tomorrow.”

“I’ve found a Toothman, Master. You just need to meet an appointment with him tomorrow.”

“So fast?!” Qin Yi was surprised. The next moment, he clasped his hand and praised, “As expected from my Chen’er!”

“…” Yin Chen still couldn’t get used to that ‘Chen’er’.

…

At the same time.

At Owl City, Qin Feng was about to close his shop, but suddenly, a young man appeared, held up the window that Qin Feng was about to close, and yelled desperately.

“Wait, wait, shop owner! My artifact…”

“It’s already passed midnight!” Qin Feng refused to work overtime to serve the customer, especially those who were late for their initial appointment.

“Wait, shop owner, I’m sorry for being late, but I have no choice. Three Rank 3 magical beasts were chasing me nonstop, and I got lucky to get away from them.” Lei Dao hurriedly explained.

Qin Feng paused his hand for a second before he responded, “You were indeed lucky.”

“Well, my survival rate is above 90%. It’s a bit higher than everyone else.” Lei Dao is proud of it. Obviously, this isn’t the first time he’s faced such perilous situations.

“That’s a lot higher.” The corner of Qin Feng’s mouth twitched slightly. He decided not to argue it any further.

He went to the warehouse and came back with a yellow sword.

“This is your Thunder Sword.”

Qin Feng threw the sword into Lei Dao’s hand.

“Ouch, be careful, my baby…” Lei Dao caught the sword and scrutinized it.

Following that moment, he was astounded.

“Is this really my sword? My Thunder Sword?” Lei Dao suspiciously looked at the shop owner.

“That’s your Thunder Sword. Can you smell it?” Qin Feng frowned.

“Do you think I’m a dog? It just… not only did you repair my sword, but you also made it new. You’re freaking good at this, shop owner!” Lei Dao was excited as he couldn’t help but give a compliment.

“… Thank you. You’re still not gonna get any discount.” Qin Feng flatly brushed off the compliment flying toward him.

Lei Dao awkwardly laughed and said, “Don’t worry about that. In fact, you deserve more than your initial price. Here are your 1310 low-grade spirit stones!”

“How generous of you. I’m touched.” Qin Feng sneered.

“Can I get a discount next time?” Lei Dao hopefully said.

Qin Feng smiled and closed the windows brutally, stunned Lei Dao, who is still hoping for a good discount.

Meanwhile, after shutting down his ‘generous’ consumer, Qin Feng immediately made a call for the main body.

The main body and clones have a special connection; they can inform each other through consciousness under normal circumstances, even though they are far from each other.

“Main body, I just got my first payment…”

As a clone, Qin Feng is influenced greatly by the main body’s memories, including the memories from the previous life. Therefore, he was a bit Earthly.

Qin Yi received the massage and very soon made a reply.

[That’s great. You must surely treat me to some drink and dinner.]

“Sure thing. I will go to Black Water City now!”

[Call me Mr. Collector when you get here.]

“Yes!”

…

A few minutes after the call, Yin Chen knocked on his Master’s door and shouted, “Master, there’s someone who claimed to be your clone.”

“…” Qin Yi’s face is full of black lines.

He forgot to tell this stupid clone not to call himself a clone.

Was it too late for him to kick this idiot back to Owl City?

Qin Yi sighed and shook his head as he immediately opened the door and said to Yin Feng, “Guard my room!”

Before Yin Chen could reply, Qin Yi had already arrived at the outside and met Qin Feng.

“Don’t say you are a clone next time. That will make people suspicious.”

Qin Feng tilted his head in confusion, “But Chen’er is your subordinate…”

“He is my subordinate, not my girlfriend. He doesn’t need to know every single thing about me. Besides, I haven’t trusted him enough. Anyway, congratulations on your first payment. Let’s go, let’s find a good place and tell me what you’ve been through!”

“Main body, you can read my memory…”

“I don’t snoop my clones’ memories. It feels like I’m peeking at you guys in the shower. Bah, I don’t have that kind of hobby.”

…
