Chapter 1266

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately smiled lightly and said: "Now it's time to fulfill the promise I made earlier with Han Su and the others, then return to River-facing City. After all, I still plan to rely on them to boost my strength a bit, so I need to coax them first; otherwise, forcing them to cultivate that technique would easily cause problems."

"Moreover, the medicine cauldron is about to be ready; that woman Gu Xun'er must also be anxiously waiting."

And while speaking, the former's figure also silently disappeared at some point.

The next moment, he appeared before Han Su leading the group of women.

"Congratulations, master, on this breakthrough of the Imperial Realm Soul; with your strength, looking across the entire Battle Qi Continent, there are hardly any opponents."

Seeing Lin Feng appear, Han Su immediately led the over sixty beautiful women behind her forward and bowed.

"Hardly any opponents?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng murmured softly, then helplessly shook his head.

Now he has half a foot stepped into the Eight-Star Dou Saint's battle qi strength and Imperial Realm Soul; plus various means, even if he encounters Wu Nie Tun Yan, he is likely able to retreat unscathed.

But to achieve his goal, that's far from enough.

And Han Su, seeing her master seemed not in a good mood, quickly gave a glance to the two sisters not far away who looked about sixteen and nearly identical.

"Master, don't be unhappy; now that you've broken through successfully, let us sisters take you for a bath, then have a good time and forget these worries."

Upon receiving the former's order, the pair of sisters who looked almost identical quickly stepped forward, one embracing Lin Feng's arm, then continuously tempting him with their clear voices.

And while speaking, the two girls also kept pulling Lin Feng toward the south of the Forest Realm.

There, the sisters had opened up a large hot spring capable of accommodating hundreds bathing simultaneously; now with many people using it, it's simply perfect.

"Yes, master, let's go bathe first to wash away those worries for you."

After the two sisters finished speaking, the other over sixty beauties quickly rushed over, surrounding Lin Feng tightly, and led him toward the southern hot spring.

"What you say is also right; now worries are useless."

Feeling the pleasant sensation transmitted from the beauties on both his arms, Lin Feng's expression momentarily froze, then he lightly laughed.

Thinking of this, he then stopped thinking about anything else, and under the women's encirclement, went to the southern hot spring.

Moreover, what happened afterward needs no more explanation; Lin Feng, together with Han Su and the sixty-six women, began enjoyable activities in this spacious hot spring.

At this moment, Lin Feng can also be considered to have fulfilled the dream he had in his heart when he first saw that Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast in the Ten Thousand Poison Mountain Range.

However, that female Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast was accompanied by a group of male favorites, whereas he was accompanied by his own group of maidservants.

Of course, since readers don't like playing games with over sixty women of various charms, the author considerately omitted tens of thousands of words, saving readers a large amount of data, to avoid exceeding their data plans.

Ah, it's been a long time since I've enjoyed such a happy life with many people together.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng embraced the pair of sisters with flushed faces, one in each hand, feeling refreshed as he spoke.

Since he first advanced to Dou Saint, due to numerous affairs, he rarely could live such a leisurely life.

Although today he couldn't play with his wives, these maidservants of various charms are also quite a catch!

While speaking, his gaze also couldn't help but sweep around the hot spring.

Although these women have had abundant resources in recent years, their strength mostly remains around Nine-turn Dou Zun and Half-Saint.

Therefore, under the strike of this Dou Saint strong cultivator who also practices body refinement, most now lie powerless on the shore, resting, reminiscing while recovering their strength.

Splash—

However, not long after the former's words fell, Han Su suddenly emerged from the water before him, then moved her jade neck a few times, unknown what she was doing.

But soon she swam over, her body slightly floating, she sat on Lin Feng's leg, then lay on his chest, lightly panting, listening to her master's heartbeat.

Splash—

However, just after Han Su emerged, three young women not far away, seeing this, immediately exchanged glances, then simultaneously dove underwater and swam toward Lin Feng's side.

Ah—

Not long after, Lin Feng let out a light sigh of relief.

To be honest, although most of these women are no longer virgins, Lin Feng is still very satisfied; each of his slight reactions is quickly noticed by everyone and then adjusted.

Such a leisurely life is truly addictive.

However, Lin Feng hasn't forgotten his duty.

After enjoying the skills of the three women underwater, he then lowered his gaze to the mature woman lying on his chest with her eyes slightly closed, and softly said: "Han Su, I want you sisters to help me with a favor; I don't know if you're willing?"

"Master, whatever you command, we sixty-six will go through fire and water, we will not refuse!"

Upon hearing this, Han Su immediately opened her eyes still lingering with afterglow, her jade arms extended, wrapping around Lin Feng's neck as she spoke.

"I want to use the secret method by which you broke through to help some of you break through to Dou Saint. Then I will use the dual cultivation technique to absorb part of your strength, thereby breaking through the Dou Qi barrier."

Having said that, Lin Feng worried Han Su et al might misunderstand, so he quickly added: "Don't worry, I have already tested this technique on a female enemy of mine; it has no side effects. Moreover, I will not absorb all of your strength, only a portion from each, so that you can successfully break through."

"Furthermore, those who participate in this matter, I will take them as concubines, guaranteeing I will not abandon any of them. Moreover, if they bear children in the future, they may take my surname and receive the same treatment as my other children."

Upon hearing this, Han Su and the surrounding maidservants immediately recalled their miserable experience being enslaved by Wu Chunsheng, and their faces turned pale.

Could it be that after narrowly escaping the wolf's den, I've fallen into the tiger's lair?

And Lin Feng's soul power is so powerful that he instantly sensed any subtle emotional changes among the sixty-six women around him.

Immediately, he looked around and then explained: "You've followed me for several years; you must have some understanding of me. If I truly wanted to be like Wu Chunsheng, I wouldn't have let so many people leave initially. Moreover, if I truly wanted to follow Wu Chunsheng's path, why not directly cultivate that technique instead of relying solely on the less efficient Dou Technique for dual cultivation?"

"Moreover, Han Su, you have experienced that secret method of mine; you should know the cost required to help you advance to Dou Saint. If I truly intended to use you as a furnace, use and discard, rather than truly regard you as my own, it would be a loss-making venture."

As he spoke, Lin Feng's gaze also fixed directly on the beautiful woman in his arms.

After all, Han Su is the only one among these women who has received the resurrection secret method to advance to Dou Saint.

She should know that if I truly intended to use them as furnaces, it would fundamentally be a loss-making venture.

Upon hearing this, Han Su was also stunned.

Yes, back then, my master, in order for her to break through to Dou Saint, actually used a ninth-grade treasure pill, a Dou Saint corpse, and the essence blood of a Dou Saint magic beast combined with the primordial ancient dragon essence blood of someone whose former strength reached Eight-Star Dou Saint.

Such a cost, if truly just to cultivate a furnace, would be a loss so great it's like losing to one's grandmother's house!

Thinking of this, the gloom in Han Su's heart instantly cleared away.

Immediately, she smiled and said: "Since the master has this intention, I will go tell the sisters; the master only needs to prepare the materials for the secret method. However, regarding the secret method, I may need to explain it clearly to the sisters."

As the conversation went on, Han Su also turned her gaze toward her master, waiting for his reply.

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng immediately moved his hand from the sisters' waists, placed it before Han Su and gently stroked her, smiling lightly: "Still my Han Su is the best; as for that secret method, just go ahead and say it; after the matter is settled, I will take you as my first concubine."

Upon hearing those two words "concubine", she instantly flashed a hint of excitement in her eyes, and couldn't help but ask again: "Master, although I shouldn't doubt you, but do you truly not despise us, willing to take us as concubines, and will our future children still bear the Lin surname?"

As she spoke further, Han Su's tone also carried a hint of nervousness.

After all, most of them had already been defiled by Wu Chunsheng, and they originally thought they'd spend their lives like that.

But now, hearing Lin Feng say he would take them into the Lin manor and that their children could still bear the Lin surname, her dead heart couldn't help but stir ripples again.

After all, when they were enslaved by Wu Chunsheng, if any of those women became pregnant, not to mention the treatment after the child's birth, once discovered, Wu Chunsheng would directly use his combat energy to destroy the child.

Seeing Han Su's nervous expression, Lin Feng immediately raised his hand, gently stroked her beautiful face, and smiled: "Don't worry, I've never deceived you. Besides, if I weren't sincere toward you, why would I pay such a high price to boost your strength?"

"Mm, I believe you, master."

Upon hearing that, Han Su nodded heavily, then her voluptuous, fair-skinned delicate body slid back to the nearby water area, gathering the over sixty women around her who had regained some strength, and began to explain to them.

As the women came to understand the price required for that secret method to break through to Combat Saint, the gloom in their hearts instantly vanished, turning into intense longing and gratitude.

After all, just as Lin Feng had said before, if he merely viewed the women as furnaces, there would be no need to spend so lavishly.

Because Lin Feng's cultivation method hasn't changed at all; it's not a dual-cultivation technique.

Moreover, even if he learned that technique, there would surely be some loss during absorption.

Training them without regard to cost makes it impossible to recoup the investment.

This is also why, in most dual-cultivation techniques, the weaker party's method can rapidly consume potential to quickly raise their combat energy level.

After all, if they trained outsiders using their master's method, it would essentially be charity.

"I, the servant, am willing to help the master increase his strength; please show mercy, master!"

After the misunderstanding was cleared, the over sixty maidservants hurried forward in unison, bowing, and thereafter their soft or clear voices echoed continuously in this sky.

At this moment, the women's gazes toward others began to contain a hint of vigilance.

After all, as long as they could participate in this matter, they could be elevated by their master to concubines.

Such a good thing needs no thought; those fox-like women around are surely preparing to rush forward.

They must not let others get ahead.

Moreover, according to Elder Sister Han Su, the price of this secret method is extremely high; surely even if their master were a ninth-rank alchemist, he could not possibly allow all of them to participate.

In other words, the number of concubine slots is limited; realizing this, they secretly resolved that they must seize one for themselves.

Of course, the facts are indeed as they thought; Lin Feng simply does not have enough resources to help all the women advance to Combat Saint.

So, after scanning the circle, he helplessly said: "My resources are limited; this time at most I can allow fifteen people to participate in this operation, but I guarantee that once I obtain more resources later, I will immediately increase the quota until all sixty-six of you become my concubines."

Since Lin Feng had observed them for years and had just personally inspected them, he knew that these women, regardless of their moral character or the excellence of their meridians, met the standard.

Therefore, to prevent these people from falling into internal conflict, he quickly made a promise.

As soon as his words fell, he continued: "To be fair and not favor anyone, the first batch of fifteen will be the fifteen strongest."

After all, for such matters, the stronger the better; thus using strength as the selection criterion is one of the fairest methods.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing that, many of the surrounding women instantly grew worried and frown-faced.

Obviously, they also knew that, given their own strength, it was impossible for them to be selected this time.

However, unlike those women before, the fifteen women whose combat energy ranked at the front instantly beamed with joy.

And seeing the forty disappointed sisters, Han Su immediately comforted them: "Rest assured, the master keeps his word; he will not abandon you. Once he obtains resources later, he will surely help you also break through to Combat Saint. What you should do now is not to frown and worry, but to think about how to give the master greater enjoyment. Only then, after you become that concubine later, will you receive more of his favor."

Upon hearing that, the other unselected women's eyes firmed up, and most of their disappointment vanished.

At this moment, they secretly resolved to diligently hone their skills during this period, so that the master may bestow more blessings later, and hopefully bear a child.

In that way, they would be secure.

Lin Feng also secretly nodded in approval upon seeing Han Su manage these women extremely well.

With her help, he could also relax considerably.

At least, he no longer needed to worry about handling the relationships among so many women.

After all, three women make a drama, let alone here there are over sixty.

However, thinking about the cost of using the resurrection secret method to help fifteen women advance to Combat Saint, he couldn't help but feel helpless.

To be frank, he wasn't unaware that after advancing to Combat Saint, the gap between each star is enormous, like heaven and earth, so cultivating high-end Combat Saint strength is most important.

But the problem is, not to mention high-rank Combat Saints; even for a five-star Combat Saint, a ninth-rank treasure pill would hardly have any effect.

Moreover, once humans reach the Combat Saint stage, they become extremely sensitive to medicinal potency; aside from him, they simply cannot consume such pills in large quantities.

Moreover, even if you did that, you could not possibly increase that person's strength.

As for giving all the medicinal pills to Cai Lin or Feng Er and their ilk for use—well, for magical beasts to advance is truly too difficult; doing so would be twice the effort for half the result.

Earlier, when he was on the Gu Nanfang Dalu, he indirectly proved this point by nurturing Xiao Ling, that little troublemaker.

The difficulty of breaking through this Strange Fire spirit may also be why the Soul Clan spent countless tens of thousands of years cultivating Wu Nie Tun Yan into an early nine-star Combat Saint and an imperial-realm soul.

Of course, during that long span, Gu Yuan also injured Wu Nie Tun Yan, causing it to waste over a thousand years recovering.

The dowry given by Qiu Yue, plus the two ninth-rank profound pills found in the spatial ring on the finger of the skeleton discovered in Pingnan Pass, totaling three ninth-rank profound pills ingested, together with six Strange Fires nurtured for nearly ten thousand years, and a heap of top-tier heavenly treasures smashed down, only managed to forge Xiao Ling into an early seven-star Combat Saint.

Such an ungrateful, labor-intensive task, Lin Feng certainly doesn't want to do again.

Of course, if it were usual for his wife to consume resources, he would still be willing to pour resources into his women.

But the problem is, he currently lacks these things urgently needed to boost his own side's combat power.

From a rational standpoint, it's not really suitable to do this.

Moreover, even if you gave Feng Er and Cai Lin at that level thirty ninth-rank treasure pills, they might still not break through to seven-star and advance to eight-star.

As for the energy Xiao Ling extracted from the Stone Clan, Lin Feng intends to let her store it, and later he will gather more resources to use when breaking through to nine-star Combat Saint.

After all, cultivation becomes harder to break through the further one goes; for a nine-star Combat Saint, he can only muster the entire Stone Clan's strength to increase his chances of success.

So after thinking it over, Lin Feng could only focus his gaze on Zhao Ran's ancestral cultivation methods and combat techniques.

After all, this Heaven-tier high-level fighting technique, he had already tested it on Gu Xun'er's body, and there were no significant side effects.

If one must say, it's that energy is lost during the absorption process.

For example, if you activate this fighting technique to absorb a hundred points of the female's battle qi, but ultimately what you receive is at most less than ninety percent.

And what's missing is that it was lost during the process.

Nevertheless, even so, Lin Feng took out these nine-rank treasure pills that couldn't let Cai Lin and the others break through one star, and combined with some other materials, he could actually produce over a dozen mid-low rank Dou Saints.

By then, Lin Feng could advance by absorbing these women's battle qi.

The biggest advantage of this method compared to Lin Feng directly swallowing pills is that these women, after having their strength drained by absorption, can cultivate and recover their strength on their own, repeatedly supplying him for absorption, unlike pills which are gone once consumed.

Furthermore, at critical moments, these women can also use combined attack techniques to hold back some mid-rank Dou Saints whose strength exceeds theirs.

Thus, in battle, the women can also release the combat power that should have been sent out to tie down the opponent's mid-rank Dou Saints, allowing them to besiege other Dou Saints or cooperate with these women to kill enemies, achieving considerable effect, truly a case of killing multiple birds with one stone.

Moreover, while fleeing across the Gu Nanfang Dalu, Lin Feng collected a total of several dozen Dou Saint corpses.

However long it has been, those corpses are still lying in his spatial ring, with nowhere to use them.

Therefore, rather than letting those corpses continue to collect dust, it's better for Lin Feng to seize the opportunity to use them to boost his own combat power.

After all, he currently lacks a soul deficiency, so he fundamentally cannot use those corpses to refine puppets.

As for Fire Slaves, one must also control the target while they are alive in order to create a Fire Slave!

These corpses, which have long since completely lost vitality, fundamentally cannot be made into Fire Slaves.

After all, if it bears the character 'slave', it basically indicates that a living person is needed to craft it.

Otherwise, that would be called a puppet.

"Sigh, I and the three major magical beast families are basically the same as that Soul Heavenly Emperor; we have poured in everything we could invest. Now it's just a matter of whether we will get a return in the future. Of course, the people around me cannot simply say they give up and give up like that Soul Heavenly Emperor."

Thinking of those treasure pill resources in his spatial ring that were about to be completely consumed by the women before him, Lin Feng couldn't help but bitterly mutter to himself.

If it weren't for his good luck, back then, risking his life in that Golden Core Master's relic site, he wouldn't have obtained the collection stored in that spatial ring.

It is estimated that his days will be even harder.

Furthermore, in order to increase his strength, he didn't bother with much else, directly beginning to take concubines from those women he had rescued from Wu Chunsheng's hands.

First, to stabilize them; second, to bind them to his war chariot, so that the women could wholeheartedly assist him, Lin Feng, in their later actions.

After all, if he directly forced these women, given their previous tragic experiences and his own fickleness, it might lead these women to superficially agree, but then at a critical moment pull him into mutual destruction.

After all, such things are not without precedent.

And Lin Feng naturally would not foolishly take that risk.

So, he first didn't bother to check whether these women were from respectable families; as long as their conduct was qualified, he directly selected some to become concubines of his Lin manor, and additionally used a multitude of promises to bind them to his chariot, letting them wholeheartedly help him conquer the realm, for now.

After all, given his current status and position, if any one of the Soul Heavenly Emperor, Gu Yuan, or Xiao Yan among the three were to advance to Dou Emperor, he would surely be dead!

Moreover, that is the kind where, no matter where he hides, those three individuals mentioned earlier will definitely search heaven and earth to find and kill his entire family.

In summary, his current situation is such that he has no choice but to exhaust all his thoughts in striving for that sliver of hope.

"Later, I should go to the Tian clan for a trip; that previous incident caused Tian Yan to flee directly, plus the interference from the Earth Travel Sect, we didn't obtain the Pill Controlling Method, and now it's also time to get it in hand."

Speaking of the Pill Controlling Method, Lin Feng couldn't help but think of the nine-rank Golden Core in that Golden Core relic site, and a surge of excitement instantly welled up in his heart.

After all, that thing offers tremendous benefits to peak experts of the level of Gu Yuan and the Soul Heavenly Emperor.

If he can obtain it and complete the final step, thoroughly perfecting that Golden Core.

By then, after he reaches nine-star Dou Saint and then consumes the pill, he will definitely obtain a tremendous increase!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng decided that after his strength improves a bit later, he would go to that Golden Core Master's relic site and subdue that nine-rank Golden Core.

Of course, before that, he first needs to improve his alchemy skills, lest he himself ruin that possibly unique nine-rank Golden Core on the continent.

By then, he would have nowhere left to cry.

After all, given his current alchemy skills, it's highly unlikely he can fully perfect it, and besides, that thing is too precious to be messed with.

"Sigh, forget it, I'll first deal with my future concubines, then talk about the resources needed to advance to Dou Saint. As for the Tian clan side, I don't know how much medicinal material they can gather for refining the nine-rank treasure pills and the mysterious pills. I hope it won't disappoint me."

Thinking of the Tian clan's main business, Lin Feng immediately looked forward and thought.

Now, the places he can scavenge have basically been swept clean already.

Therefore, after thinking it over, it's basically just the Tian clan and the Earth Travel Sect.

That's right, Lin Feng also plans to make a trip to the Earth Travel Sect to gather as many medicinal herbs as possible.

At least, it's better than not coming.

"Master, why are you acting foolish? Let us sisters come serve you."

And just as the former was pondering, that pair of twin sisters beside him immediately spoke somewhat shyly.

Compared to many other sisters, these two had only just been offered by their family to Wu Chunsheng not long ago when Lin Feng rescued them.

Thus, their purity remained intact until just now, when Lin Feng personally broke it.

So, in actual combat, they are also not as uninhibited as those other sisters.

And upon being called out by that pair of sisters, Lin Feng instantly snapped out of his reverie, then he looked toward the large group of beautiful women before him and laughed loudly: "Haha, that's fine, I won't think about it anymore; first I'll subdue you bunch of fairies, then we'll talk."

As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng immediately acted, using battle qi to draw over those sixty-plus beautiful women, beginning to continue completing the previously unfinished matters. (End of chapter)
