After leaving home, Lin Feng ran straight to the Jinling Urban District.
With his speed, covering a distance of forty kilometers was just a matter of minutes.
If he used Sword Flight, he could get there in even less than a minute, but considering the dense population and prying eyes in the Jinling Urban District, he chose not to fly.
As for making money?
For Lin Feng, there were countless ways to earn money.
He could set up formations, refine pills, create talismans, treat illnesses, or read Feng Shui. Any of these skills could easily bring him a fortune.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng headed to a market in the northern part of the city.
This market, called the "Jiangning Department Store Trading Market," wasn't the largest in Jinling City, but it was certainly the most diverse.
Everything was sold here, from daily necessities and homemade remedies to gold, silver, jewelry, and antique jades.
You could even find a few fortune-tellers, exorcists, and practitioners of Feng Shui Divination Art!
The complex mix of goods and services made the Jiangning Department Store Trading Market a chaotic place, a no-man's land where even city management would be taken aback.
Lin Feng found an empty spot, sat cross-legged, and then took out a red brick to write a line on the ground in front of him.
Rent myself for two hours: Capable of anything, master of all trades, price negotiable.
Having set everything up, Lin Feng closed his eyes, waiting for someone destined to come along.
The market was bustling with people.
Soon, word spread about Lin Feng setting up a stall, and many passersby came over to take a look and see what the fuss was about.
But no one stepped forward to inquire.
Lin Feng's claims were too exaggerated!
Capable of anything, master of all trades?
Did he think he was an immortal?
Even an immortal wouldn't dare boast like that!
A fraud!
He must be a fraud!
A crowd gathered around Lin Feng, pointing and whispering.
Some approached with a teasing attitude, asking bizarre questions on purpose.
Can you cure impotence?
Lin Feng naturally ignored these obvious taunts.
Meanwhile, in a black Hummer parked by the street, a group of burly men was observing Lin Feng through the window.
One of the men leaned towards a middle-aged man in the back seat and whispered: "Boss, this guy is too young! He looks like he's just bragging."
"We should check elsewhere. We can't waste any more time! If we don't find a solution soon, there could be big trouble at the construction site!
But finding a master who can suppress demons and exorcise ghosts isn't easy!"
The middle-aged man sighed.
His name was Wang Chong.
He was the chairman of a large construction group in Jinling City.
Recently, some strange things had been happening at the construction sites owned by his company.
Workers often heard the cries of children late at night, but when they went out to check, there was nothing there.
And when they returned to their dormitories, the crying would start again outside.
Just last night, a worker went out to use the restroom and claimed to have seen a weasel smiling at him, asking: "Young man, do I look more like a human or an immortal?"
The worker had never encountered such a bizarre thing before and didn't dare to answer. He ran back to the dormitory, only to fall seriously ill. The hospital couldn't diagnose anything, and he's still lying there.
Because of this, Wang Chong was at his wit's end.
He personally came to the Jiangning Department Store Trading Market to find a master!
He did find a few who seemed impressive, but they turned out to be useless!
Thinking of this, Wang Chong rubbed his temples, looking exhausted.
The project was worth over two billion, and he stood to make a billion from it.
If the issue wasn't resolved soon, it would be a huge loss.
"Boss, I heard there's a master in the southern part of the city!"
"Master, my foot! That old guy is just a fraud. I know better than you!"
"Then what should we do?"
"I pay you to ask me what to do? Useless bunch!"
***
With Lin Feng's keen hearing, he had already heard the conversation inside the Hummer.
This sparked an idea, and he immediately shouted: "Capable of anything, master of all trades, especially skilled in exorcism, demon suppression, and ghost suppression. If you have such issues at home, feel free to come!"
After shouting, Lin Feng packed up his stall and pretended to leave.
At that moment, a middle-aged man rushed out of the Hummer, shouting: "Young man, wait!"
Got him!
Lin Feng's lips curled into a slight smile as he stopped and sized up the middle-aged man.
The man had a square face, thick eyebrows, and an imposing presence that commanded respect without anger.
Such a person was either involved in the underworld or held a high position.
Either way, he wasn't an ordinary person.
Most importantly, the man's forehead was emitting a black aura, commonly known as a darkened brow.
This black aura was invisible to most people, but Lin Feng, with his spiritual vision, could see it at a glance.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Chong! I..."
"My time is limited, get to the point."
Lin Feng adopted the demeanor of a master.
Wang Chong gave Lin Feng a deep look upon hearing this and then explained the situation at the construction site.
"Where is your construction site?"
"About fifty kilometers from the eastern suburbs, at the foot of Taihu Mountain." Wang Chong replied.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng had a general idea.
Although it was indeed the Age of Dharma Decline, there was still Spiritual Qi in the world, and where there was Spiritual Qi, mountain spirits and ghosts would naturally arise.
The workers likely encountered a Yellow Fox Immortal seeking recognition.
This didn't mean the weasel was truly becoming an immortal; it had simply lived long enough to gain intelligence and was causing trouble to satisfy its desires.
Honestly, such a small spirit monster would be terrified at the sight of Lin Feng.
However, Lin Feng deliberately asked:
"I see quite a few masters in this market! Why did you choose me?"
"Don't mention it, the ones here are all charlatans, just a bunch of useless frauds!"
Wang Chong's face turned cold, and he continued: "I understand what you're implying. If you can help me resolve this issue, how about I give you twenty thousand?"
"Mr. Wang, it's not as simple as you think. This matter is quite troublesome! If I may be blunt, if this isn't resolved soon, not only your construction site but even you will be in trouble.
Haven't you been sleeping restlessly lately?"
Lin Feng looked at Wang Chong and said calmly.
Wang Chong's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
He knew the situation was troublesome!
The construction site had been shut down for several days, losing hundreds of thousands each day. If it wasn't resolved soon, he'd be in deep trouble!
Moreover, in recent nights, he often felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him while he slept!
But when he turned on the lights, there was nothing there!
This feeling left him very uneasy.
Honestly, he hadn't thought much of Lin Feng, approaching him with a mindset of trying anything in desperation.
But now, hearing Lin Feng's words, he was somewhat shocked.
Could this expressionless young man really be a master?
"Young man, what do you suggest?"
"My suggestion is to raise the price."
"......"
Wang Chong glanced at Lin Feng.
Instead of being angry, he felt quite pleased.
Asking for more money suggested that this person might truly have skills; otherwise, he wouldn't make such a demand under normal circumstances.
"How much do you suggest?"
"One hundred thousand, and I guarantee to solve it for you!"
Lin Feng said calmly.
