Chapter 1149: with translation of chapter title

Of course, this threat doesn't mean Lin Feng is strong enough to severely injure the Ancient Clan.

Named entities: Lin Feng, Ancient Clan. Also maybe "threat" is generic. So list Lin Feng, Ancient Clan.

Rather, Lin Feng is himself an alchemist and a Dou Saint expert, possessing a Heavenly Realm Great Perfection soul, which theoretically qualifies him to refine Nine Profound Pills.

Named entities: Lin Feng; the term "Alchemist" is generic and not a named entity; "Dou Saint" is a named cultivation realm; "Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul" is a named term; "Nine Profound Pill" is a named pill. Therefore the named entities are Lin Feng, Dou Saint, Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul, Nine Profound Pill.

Furthermore, several of his women have also reached the Dou Saint level, with some even theoretically qualified to refine Nine Treasure Pills; together with the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon and the Nine Netherworld Earth Python Clan, they advance and retreat alongside their opponents.

Named entities: Dou Saint, Nine Treasure Pill, Tai Xu Ancient Dragon (likely the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan), Nine Netherworld Earth Python Clan.

If Lin Feng and his allies were to genuinely join the Soul Clan, and with the Soul Clan's abundant resources, they together with his several alchemist women could become grandmasters in refining Nine Profound Pills and Treasure Pills.

Named entities: Lin Feng, Soul Clan (the term "Alchemist" is generic), Nine Profound Pill, Treasure Pill (the term "Alchemy Grandmaster" is generic). So the named entities are Lin Feng, Soul Clan, Nine Profound Pill, Treasure Pill.

Just thinking about the consequences makes the members of the Ancient, Flame, and Medicine Clans shudder.

Named entities: Ancient Clan, Flame Clan, Medicine Clan.

After all, even the Medicine Clan, the continent's top alchemist family, lacks many Nine Profound Pill Grandmasters; this is the only confidence their Ancient Clan–led alliance has to outweigh the Soul Clan alliance.

Named entities: Medicine Clan, Nine Profound Pill Grandmaster, Ancient Clan, Soul Clan (the term "Alliance" is generic).

But if the Soul Clan gains the addition of Lin Feng and his allies, the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan, and the Nine Netherworld Earth Python Clan—these two great monster overlords—

Named entities: Soul Clan, Lin Feng, Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan, Nine Netherworld Earth Python Clan (the term "Magic Beast Overlord" is generic).

Then not only would their sole advantage vanish, but they might also be weaker in combat strength.

There are no named entities; the term "combat strength" is generic. So none.

"Lin Feng, Gu Xun'er won't let this rest!"

Named entities: Lin Feng, Gu Xun'er.

Seeing her own clan's people depart, Gu Xun'er could only glare fiercely at Lin Feng, then she pulled along the reluctant Xiao Yan and followed her clan's elders.

Named entities: Gu Xun'er, Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, Elder.

"Huh~"

No named entities.

Upon seeing the Ancient, Flame, and Medicine Clans depart, the people of the Thunder and Stone Clans immediately felt a great sense of relief.

Named entities: Ancient Clan, Flame Clan, Medicine Clan, Thunder Clan, Stone Clan.

After all, although they are currently allies of the Soul Clan, they likewise do not wish for the Soul Clan's power to become too strong, even to the extent it once reached with the Xiao Clan.

Named entities: Soul Clan, Xiao Clan.

Because of this, the Soul Clan, having lost other forces to balance it, who knows what it might do?

Named entities: Soul Clan.

"Hmph!"

No.

Seeing that there was no profit to be gained, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall immediately snorted coldly at Lin Feng and his companions, then gestured to the Thunder and Stone Clan members beside him, saying, "Let's go."

Named entities: Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Lin Feng, Thunder Clan, Stone Clan.

As soon as his words fell, Hun Mie Sheng took the other two and left the place.

Named entities: Hun Mie Sheng.

However, as they were leaving, the sturdy woman whose skin turned stone-gray flashed a hint of heat in her eyes as she turned.

Named entities: the term "stone-gray" is generic; there are no named entities.

Although she doesn't know how Lin Feng managed to break through to three-star Dou Saint so quickly, the opponent's ability to advance so rapidly suggests that Lin Feng must have obtained some extraordinary opportunity.

Named entities: Lin Feng, Three-star Dou Saint.

After all, something that can greatly boost a Dou Saint's strength is rare even across the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Named entities: Dou Saint, Dou Qi Continent.

"Our Stone Clan is currently the weakest among the Dou Emperor families; I don't know if obtaining whatever caused Lin Feng's rapid strength increase would allow our clan chief to break through, thereby changing this situation."

Named entities: Stone Clan, Dou Emperor, Lin Feng.

As their bodies gradually drifted away, the Stone Clan's Dou Saint still gazed somewhat reluctantly at the place where Lin Feng stood.

Named entities: Stone Clan, Dou Saint, Lin Feng.

Finally, with a swift movement, they completely vanished into the void alongside Hun Mie Sheng.

Named entities: Hun Mie Sheng (the term "Void Space" is generic).

"Cough cough~"

No.

Once those people had left, Lin Feng could no longer endure; he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his breath swiftly reverted to that of a three-star Dou Saint.

Named entities: Lin Feng, Three-star Dou Saint.

At the same time, the dragon scales on his body and the Heavenly Phoenix wings on his back swiftly retracted into his body.

Named entities: Dragon Scales, Heavenly Phoenix Wings.

"Lin Feng, are you alright?"

Named entities: Lin Feng.

Seeing Lin Feng suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, Zi Yan's gem-like eyes quickly flashed with urgency, and she hurried forward to support him.

Named entities: Lin Feng, Zi Yan.

Likewise, Xiao Yixian and the other six women, upon seeing Lin Feng injured, quickly gathered around and anxiously asked, "Husband, how are you?"

Named entities: Xiao Yixian, Lin Feng.

"It's fine; I only sustained a minor injury while forcing my way up to merge the Fire Lotus, enduring the Ancient Clan elder's fighting technique. However, I had made several preparations beforehand, draining much of the opponent's technique energy, so it's not a big deal. It's just that the side effect of the secret method coincided, causing this."

Named entities: Fire Lotus, Ancient Clan (the terms "Dou Technique", "Secret Technique", and "side effect" are generic).

Seeing the women's worried expressions, Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, then produced a pill from his spatial ring and swallowed it.

Named entities: Space Ring, pill.

As the pill entered his stomach, Lin Feng's injuries quickly recovered considerably.

Named entities: Lin Feng.

While recovering from his injuries, Lin Feng gazed toward the direction where the ancient races had departed, then exhaled lightly and smiled, saying, "This crisis has finally passed safely. Afterwards, Zi Yan, you should hurry to settle your clan's affairs. Later, I will take you to a place where we might gain some unexpected rewards."

Named entities: Lin Feng, Zi Yan (the term "Ancient Races" is generic).

"Unexpected gains?"

No.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan blinked her eyes a few times, then curiously asked, "What place is that?"

Named entities: Zi Yan.

"Hehe, it's a place I happened upon earlier. There I once heard some dragon roars; although far away, their power was still considerable. Back then my strength was weak, so I didn't know the details, but now I think the source of that dragon roar is likely far stronger than either of us."

There are no named entities; the term "Dragon Roar" is generic.

Seeing this girl so curious, Lin Feng gave a light laugh and casually made up an excuse to placate her.

There are no named entities; the term "this girl" is generic.

"Dragon roar? Could it be that an elder of our Ancient Dragon Clan is in seclusion there?"

Named entities: Ancient Dragon Clan.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Zi Yan's gem-like eyes instantly flashed with astonishment.

Named entities: Zi Yan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng feigned ignorance, spreading his hands and saying, "I don't know either, since I've never been there so far."

Named entities: Lin Feng.

Seeing that Lin Feng seemed unaware of the details, Zi Yan lightly nodded and replied, "Alright, once I reunite the Four Great Dragon Islands and finish handling my clan's affairs, I'll go with you to take a look. If it truly is an elder of our Ancient Dragon Clan in seclusion there, I'll summon him to help."

Named entities: Four Great Dragon Islands, Ancient Dragon Clan.

While speaking, she patted her own grown‑to‑36E fatty lump, proudly declaring, "After all, I am now the Dragon Emperor, and I possess the Dragon Emperor's Seal!"

Named entities: Dragon Emperor, Dragon Emperor Seal.

Having said that, Zi Yan turned her gaze toward Lin Feng and smiled, saying, "However, we still owe it to you for helping my Ancient Dragon Clan retrieve the Dragon Emperor's Seal; otherwise, this wouldn't have been so easy."

Named entities: Ancient Dragon Clan, Dragon Emperor Seal, Lin Feng.

"Ah, it was merely luck; at that time I found it together with absorbing this Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit."

Named entities: Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

As he continued speaking, Lin Feng lowered his voice until only he and Zi Yan could hear clearly.

Named entities: Lin Feng, Zi Yan.

"Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit?!"

Named entities: Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

Upon hearing those words, Zi Yan was instantly startled.

Named entities: Zi Yan.

Before, she had heard from her clan that the last time they encountered such a rare ten‑thousand‑year occurrence, the Ancient Dragon Clan's Tai Xu Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Clan each possessed a Dragon‑Phoenix.

Named entities: Ancient Dragon Clan, Tai Xu Ancient Dragon, Heavenly Demon Clan, Dragon-Phoenix.

But she never expected that this situation would also happen to her.

No named entities.

Immediately, she replied in a low voice, "No wonder I said you only absorbed a bit of Dragon-Phoenix power yet could also transform into a Dragon-Phoenix; it turns out you obtained another Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit."

Named entities: Dragon-Phoenix (the term "Dragon-Phoenix Power" is generic), Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"Just good luck."

No.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng spread his hands, as if to say, "That's just how I am; what can be done?"

Named entities: Lin Feng.

"Damn, you really managed to pull that off."

No.

Seeing his expression, Zi Yan immediately pouted in displeasure.

Named entities: Zi Yan.

However, the Grand Elder of East Dragon Island, seeing the two conversing, promptly flew over with a host of East Dragon Island's strong warriors.

Named entities: East Dragon Island, Grand Elder (the term "experts of East Dragon Island" is generic).

Then his aged eyes turned to Zi Yan as he spoke carefully, "The three Dragon Emperors, the three Great Dragon Kings have already been slain. Should we also go handle the aftermath of the three Great Dragon Islands?"

Named entities: Zi Yan, Dragon Emperor, Three Great Dragon Kings, Three Great Dragon Islands.

"Alright, I understand."

No.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan immediately waved her hand.

Named entities: Zi Yan.

Immediately afterward, she looked at Lin Feng and said, "Then do you want to come with me?"

Named entities: Zi Yan, Lin Feng.

"Not now, I still have things to do. Later, after you finish your matters, go to my new city and call me. Then we'll go together."

Speaking, Lin Feng flicked his palm, and immediately a palm-sized folded sheet of paper flew swiftly toward Zi Yan.

At the same time, Lin Feng explained: 'This is a newly built city I constructed during your seclusion, the address of Linjiang City. When the time comes, you can come here to find me.'

Okay.

Hearing that, Zi Yan swiftly took the map and then placed it into her storage ring.

After putting things away, she then swept her gaze over Xiao Yixian and the others, finally settling on the three fire-wood attribute beauties of the Xiao Dan Tower.

Although you already meet the theoretical requirements to advance to ninth-rank treasure pill master, the continent's high-end cultivation resources are now basically monopolized by the various ancient races. Why not stay and cultivate in my ancient dragon clan? The medicinal herbs in the warehouse are free for you to use.

As soon as her words fell, Zi Yan's beautiful eyes swept over the East Dragon Island elder preparing to object, and she promptly added: 'As long as the pills are refined, giving half to my ancient dragon clan is fine.'

Is that okay?

Hearing that the medicinal herbs could be used freely, the three beauties of the Xiao Dan Tower, who had been worried about herbs, instantly lit up and exclaimed in delight.

Although Cao Ying and Chen Er, relying on their formidable strength, had successfully become members of the Xiao Dan Tower Council of Elders.

And as members of the Council of Elders, once they met the conditions for advancement to ninth-rank treasure pill alchemist, they could, in principle, use the corresponding-grade medicinal herbs from the warehouse.

However, this use does not mean they can take them endlessly at will.

If your pill-refining success rate cannot keep the Xiao Dan Tower breaking even or profitable, then each year you may only take three portions of medicinal herbs from the warehouse.

As for before that previous seclusion, Chen Er and Cao Ying had already taken the entire year's quota.

As for the success rate, heh, with three portions of medicinal herbs each, they didn't even manage to refine a single proper ninth-rank treasure pill.

When they emerged from seclusion, the Xiao Dan Tower Elder's expression—extremely pained from losing six portions of treasure pill medicinal herbs, yet able to understand their failure—is still remembered by the two of them.

Finally, that Elder could only helplessly encourage the two women, then heartbrokenly return to his residence.

Of course you can, just use them as you like; after all, we magic beasts don't refine pills, so keeping them would be wasteful—feel free to use them. Besides, once your success rate improves, we'll be able to take half of the medicinal herbs without loss.

Seeing the delighted looks of the three beauties of the Xiao Dan Tower, Zi Yan patted the highly elastic big ball in front of her, appearing completely nonchalant.

After saying that, she continued: 'After all, that ninth-rank tier of medicinal pills, our ancient dragon clan, due to thousands of years of division and internal war, has almost been exhausted. If, once your pill-refining success rate improves, you can refine some pills for our clan, perhaps we could even produce many more Dou Saint powerhouses.'

The other powerhouses of East Dragon Island, upon hearing Zi Yan's earlier remarks, exchanged glances and then promptly closed their mouths, unwilling to speak.

After all, if they could split the refined pills half and half, this deal wouldn't be a loss, and could even be profitable.

Therefore, they naturally had no need to object.

After all, ninth-rank treasure pill masters are extremely rare even when looking across the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Even within the major Dou Emperor families, they are still extraordinary treasures.

But after Zi Yan finished speaking, she realized she seemed to have overlooked Xiao Yixian, and turned to her, saying: 'Of course, flat-chested girl, why did you suddenly grow so big?'

Seeing Xiao Yixian's suddenly enlarged peaks, Zi Yan immediately scratched her smooth purple hair in confusion, her delicate face full of bewilderment.

How is it that after just a few years of seclusion, this flat-chested girl has suddenly grown so much?

This guy, even if he becomes the Dragon King, still can't change his sharp-tongued habit.

Seeing Zi Yan's shocked little face, Xiao Yixian's mouth corners twitched a few times, and she couldn't help but secretly rub her forehead.

This guy is hopeless.

However, fortunately Zi Yan thought she still had many things to attend to, so she didn't dwell on this issue for long and continued: 'The things our ancient dragon clan promised you haven't been given yet, so you may as well stay with me for now. After all, within our clan, it's also a good place for seclusion.'

Okay.

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian promptly cleared her mind and nodded in agreement.

And Lin Feng, seeing that the four women had decided to stay in the ancient dragon clan, after a brief thought, immediately took out a jade bottle and pushed it toward Yun Yun.

At the same time, he said to her: 'Since that's the case, then this last drop of demon saint essence blood, Yun'er, you should take it. As for Ying'er, Chen'er, and Xin Lan, when the time comes, after you refine your own pills, just take those pills.'

As soon as his words fell, he turned to the green-scaled one nearby and continued: 'Nowadays on the Dou Qi Continent, there's hardly any magic beast that can help you, little girl; this pill is for you to eat to boost your strength.'

While speaking, Lin Feng took out a jade bottle, carefully placed it in the green-scaled one's hand, and then firmly grasped the girl's tender, smooth little hand.

This is a ninth-rank treasure pill?!

Sensing the faint energy emanating from the jade bottle, the expressions of those around drastically changed, and they stared in shock at the jade bottle in the green-scaled one's hand.

Although they hadn't personally seen what was inside, from this they could tell it was a pure energy that left them astonished.

Apart from that ninth-rank treasure pill, everyone really couldn't think of anything else that could possess such a terrifying energy concentration!
