Chapter 86: BookletHearing this, Ye Feng was stunned, his pupils slightly constricted as if he had thought of something, and he quickly asked,"What year and month is it now?""January 11, 2645 of the Douluo Calendar."The time Ye Feng left was June 1, 2644. Excluding the half year he lived in Slaughter City, he had only spent about a month in the Blood Mist Space!But this was obviously wrong. Ye Feng's first 100 breakthroughs of the blood mist had already taken more than a month. The most likely scenario was that the time flow in the Blood Mist Space was faster than that of the Douluo Continent.Thinking of this, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Only seven months had passed, which was acceptable; at least time was much more abundant now."Boss, thank you for the information you provided... Do you provide accommodation here?""Hehe, guest, you came just at the right time. We happen to have only one guest room left, and I will take you to see it right now.""No need, just give me the key and I will go see it myself. Also, do you have a map here? Get me one."As he spoke, Ye Feng took out five gold coins from his spirit tool and threw them to the boss.The boss hurriedly raised his hand to catch them, felt the gold coins, and carefully tucked them into his bosom."Hehehe, guest, please wait a moment."The boss squatted down and pulled out a slightly yellowed map and the room key from under the table.Ye Feng snatched them, and without looking back, went upstairs to sleep.After Ye Feng left, the boss's smile gradually converged, a trace of greed flashed across the depths of his eyes, and then instantly faded.A middle-aged, strongly-built man with an honest look sat down in front of the boss, wearing a smile on his face, and said,"Old man, this kid is a fat sheep! He is generous with his spending, scattering gold coins like beans. The money on him must be even more, we can't let him run away!"The boss glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said,"Humph, Weiss, I advise you not to plot against that kid. Anyone who can squander gold coins like this must be the scion of some influential family or nobility. This is not someone you and I can afford to provoke."Weiss's face instantly collapsed, unimpressed by the boss's words."Old man, I think you are just scared. How long has it been since the brothers opened for business? Are you just going to watch them starve to death?""Yes, I am scared. Half of my body is already in the earth, and I don't have long to live. During this final period of time, I just want to leave in peace.""Old man, our town is remote, and very few people come to hunt spirits. You are almost unable to make ends meet, right?"The boss's face stiffened, obviously hit in the spot by Weiss."Old man, that kid is very rich. After finishing this job, you can completely go to a big city to enjoy your old age in peace."The boss lowered his head, remaining silent, with his white hair hanging down, making it impossible for people to see his expression.Seeing this, Weiss's face gradually turned gloomy. He slammed his right hand heavily on the table, pointed at the boss, and growled in a low voice,"Fine, stinky old man, if you won't help me, we will rob him ourselves."After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door. Just as he touched the doorknob,"Wait, I'll help you."Weiss instantly beamed with joy, promising the boss that he would give the lion's share of the loot to the boss.But in his heart, he secretly decided to find a chance to backstab him.If it weren't for this remote backwater where the old man was the only Spirit Ancestor, Weiss wouldn't have wanted to bring him along.And the boss, who was already a dead man in Weiss's eyes, harbored murderous intent toward Weiss in his heart.On the surface, the two talked and laughed happily, but behind their backs, each harbored malicious designs.It was extremely entertaining for Ye Feng to watch. That's right, from the very beginning, the exchange between the two had been seen by Ye Feng.As soon as he saw the boss, Ye Feng had detected a faint, lingering murderous aura on him. It was very weak, but to Ye Feng, who had graduated from Slaughter City, it was exceptionally obvious.A mere Spirit Ancestor was not worth Ye Feng paying too much attention to, but he still kept his guard up.Until just now, the two men's scheme was exposed to Ye Feng's eyes.At this time, the outside of the window had put on the clothes of night. As the lights of the village gradually went out, the sounds returned to tranquility.Ye Feng sat cross-legged on the bed and entered a state of meditation.He split off a wisp of his mind to constantly pay attention to the movement outside the room.There was no movement at all in the first half of the night, as if they had never had that conversation.Until the second half of the night, at 2 o'clock, fragmented footsteps came from downstairs, and the footsteps extended all the way to the stairs before gradually slowing down.As they gradually approached, Ye Feng opened his eyes.Based on the sound, Ye Feng judged that there were 7 people in total, among whom were Weiss and the boss.He leaned against the bed, quietly waiting for them to arrive.At the same time, Weiss came to the door, took out the spare key, and opened the door lock.Exchanging a glance with the boss, he pushed open the room door, just wanting to rush towards the bed.But he met a pair of eyes emitting a blood-red glow, which appeared exceptionally eerie under the bright moonlight.Behind him, seeing Weiss stop in his tracks, the boss frowned slightly and couldn't help pushing him.Stunned, Weiss was pushed into a stagger and almost fell. After straightening his body, he also reacted to what had happened.Without caring about the boss behind him, he lunged straight at Ye Feng, wanting to strike first.But Ye Feng didn't give him this chance. Blood-colored murderous aura surged from the center of his brows, instantly submerging the seven people.The seven people felt a splitting headache, as if countless steel needles had stabbed into their brains simultaneously. Before they could even scream, they had already fallen into a coma.The blood red in Ye Feng's eyes receded. Looking at the state of the seven people with great interest, he chuckled and said,"Tsk tsk, my murderous aura right now really is exactly like Conqueror's Haki; it's simply a sharp tool for clearing out soldiers."He got up and walked in front of the seven people, one by one, snapping their necks.Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.Ye Feng had always believed in one phrase: if you kill others, you must be prepared to be killed yourself.If Ye Feng were weak, the one suffering the calamity right now would be him.Ye Feng habitually searched for loot. However, in this remote backwater location, he didn't expect to be able to scavenge anything useful.Until Ye Feng found a brownish-yellow booklet from the boss's bosom.This booklet was only the size of a palm, and the cover was made from the skin of some unknown Spirit Beast.There were no words on the cover. Ye Feng casually opened the first page and looked at the first line."Methods for manufacturing first-tier spirit tools..."Ye Feng's previously somewhat lazy mindset instantly turned serious.He carefully and meticulously flipped through the booklet in his hand, page by page, faster and faster.When he read to the twentieth page, he suddenly closed the booklet in his hand.With undisguised astonishment in his eyes, he was very clear about how immense the value of the contents within this ordinary-looking booklet was.This was knowledge that could change an era.Although Douluo Continent had spirit tools, the manufacturing methods for spirit tools had long been lost.Nowadays, most of the spirit tools on Douluo Continent were found from ancient ruins, and most of them were storage spirit tools.Yet this booklet recorded the manufacturing methods for almost all types of spirit tools, including melee, ranged, fixed-load, and storage...The depictions of the corresponding core magic arrays were also very detailed.Although there were only first-tier spirit tools and second-tier spirit tools, it was a leap from nothing to existence.Going from 0 to 1 was much more difficult than going from 1 to 9.
