Chapter 1303: Preparation Before Capturing the Golden Core

Thinking that I've been trampled by them for so long, I finally can turn the tide.

Gu Xun'er's mood at this moment was beyond beautiful.

It seems that crossing the Eastern Territory, traveling a great distance just to let this guy toy with her body, might not be all bad.

However, although the former was happy, when Lin Feng saw her that way, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Gu Xun'er's current action was nothing but selling barren land at a high price and making him the scapegoat, wasn't it?

But thinking of buying that plot, it indeed held great benefit for him, and Lin Feng couldn't outright refuse.

After all, that Golden Core was far too important.

"This woman always tries to trap me out of cultivation resources. Damn, wait till I smash you into existential doubt—does she really think I'm made of mud!"

Looking at the smiling beauty in his arms, Lin Feng secretly plotted to render Gu Xun'er unable to walk on the ground later.

"However, this is fine, after all I publicly agreed to help Gu Xun'er assist the ancient clan against the Soul Clan. And given the ancient clan's mindset, how could they let a ninth‑rank alchemist like me idle? And you guys have now hammered a hefty sum out of me; when you later want me to waste time brewing pills for you, hmph."

Thinking of that, Lin Feng's mood settled considerably.

However, Gu Xun'er had no idea of his thoughts.

When she saw him agree to her terms, she immediately smiled and reached out: "Lin Feng, give me the pills; I'll pass them to the clan. Then you can go straight to claim that territory."

"I originally had only three treasure pills; I gave you two earlier, so now I have only one left on me."

As she spoke, Lin Feng produced a jade bottle and said, "I'll give you one now; the remaining two I'll give you within a month."

After all, if he produced too many ninth‑rank treasure pills at once, it would easily arouse Gu Xun'er's suspicion.

Therefore, he deliberately planned to stall on the remaining two pills.

"That's reasonable; asking you to take that many ninth‑rank treasure pills at once is unrealistic. I'll take this one now, and the rest I'll take later."

Seeing the jade bottle Lin Feng produced, Gu Xun'er nodded in sudden understanding.

After all, ordinary people don't carry that many ninth‑rank treasure pills.

Thus she felt no doubt at all about his words.

Then she secured the pill, looked at Lin Feng with a "deep" expression, and said gently, "Lin Feng, since you've promised to help our ancient clan, you must fulfill your duties seriously from now on. Also, regarding the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan, I'm awaiting your good news."

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't backtrack. Besides, I'm also looking forward to marrying that great beauty and pampering her every day."

Hearing that, Lin Feng smiled instantly, then reached forward and began to play tricks in front of the beauty in his arms.

"To hell with you, day after day, you only know how to do that."

Staring at his large hand recklessly flailing in front of her, Gu Xun'er's cheeks flushed red, and she gave him a slightly annoyed, cold glance.

Of course, although outwardly her relationship with Lin Feng grew more amicable.

But in her heart, a chilling murderous intent had long taken root.

She had now made up her mind: after avenging her brother Xiao Yan, she would, during that encounter with Lin Feng, seize the opportunity, self‑detonate, and send the guy straight to hell!

Since the moment her brother Xiao Yan died, Gu Xun'er had nothing left in this world worth cherishing.

Therefore, rather than endure excruciating survival, she preferred to end it all outright.

Of course, before she dies, she must also take Lin Feng—the murderer who repeatedly harmed her brother Xiao Yan and indirectly caused his death—down with her!

Back then, if this guy hadn't refused to hand over his unique fire to boost Xiao Yan's strength.

And after the Pharmacopeia incident, he wouldn't risk his life to save her brother Xiao Yan.

Now, Xiao Yan wouldn't have fallen.

And thinking of this, Gu Xun'er's murderous intent toward Lin Feng kept spiking, clanking like metal.

"This woman, with so much killing aura on her, what else could I have said wrong?"

His actions, of course, couldn't hide from Lin Feng, who possessed an Emperor‑realm soul; upon sensing her winter‑cold murderous intent, he was left speechless.

What does this woman think about every day, harboring so much resentment toward herself?

I fear that even Zhenzi here today would be frightened by her resentment into shouting "Dad".

But Lin Feng didn't really care about any of that.

Anyway, she's hated him for more than a day or two; a little resentment doesn't matter.

Then he proceeded to ask about the matter he cared most about.

"Xun'er, you let me help your ancient clan; when will we clash with the Soul Clan so I can prepare?"

Although she had earlier said that the Dou Tian Emperor and his forces wouldn't act again soon, he still wanted to discuss the topic further with Gu Xun'er, hoping to extract more useful information.

However, Gu Xun'er didn't want to continue the discussion.

After all, her father's injuries are still unstable; how could she go to war with the Soul Clan?

But she found it hard to voice the truth.

Gu Xun'er quickly drafted a reply in her mind, then smiled: "Lin Feng, just wait for our news. You're about to claim the south as your own land, so hurry while you can; once the war starts you won't have time." "Alright, we'll do as Xun'er says."

Seeing him deliberately dodge the question, Lin Feng realized further probing would be futile, so he readily dropped the topic.

Then he reminded, "By the way, Xun'er, don't forget about the key. It's said to come from the Dou Emperor's relics, and I'm quite curious. Anything linked to the Dou Emperor can't be some junk."

After all, of the four items from the Black‑White Iron Box, he has already gathered three.

Now that he finally obtained the last key's information, Lin Feng wouldn't let it slip away.

Thus, no matter what, he must get that thing!

"Tch, as expected, it's from a small place. That Light‑Shadow Space has existed for an unknown number of years; the items it yields number between eight and ten thousand, already worthless, yet you still treat them as treasure."

Hearing that, Gu Xun'er felt an instant contempt for Lin Feng.

These poor kids have such limited experience; hearing anything related to the Dou Emperor's relics makes them instantly overexcited.

Items from that Light‑Shadow Space number at least a hundred stored in their ancient clan's warehouse.

Unfortunately, according to the ancient clan elders' investigations, there are essentially no items related to ascending to Dou Emperor.

Moreover, that Light‑Shadow Space only permits cultivators below the Dou Zun rank to enter.

Their Ancient Clan elders think that place is merely a realm created by the Dou Emperor for the weaker juniors to train in.

Therefore, aside from the light‑shadow space itself, there is fundamentally nothing there that has anything to do with the Dou Emperor.

But since Lin Feng asked, she cannot ignore it, so she says gently, "Lin Feng, rest assured, I'm not interested in that thing. When you come next time, I will definitely bring the black key before you."

Heh heh, Xun'er, you're so kind.

Seeing that she promised to bring the Key of Darkness, Lin Feng's heart instantly leapt with joy, and he immediately bowed his head with a smile and kissed her pink lips.

Then, he pried open Gu Xun'er's jaws and began to ravage within.

As for the latter, she also readily cooperated, extending her pink tongue.

It looked as if the two moved like a very practiced married couple.

But only the two of them know that, in their hearts, they are actually full of scheming.

However, accompanied by their passionate kiss, the hot‑blooded Lin Feng and Gu Xun'er quickly made the reception hall burst with vitality.

"Xun'er, don't forget our agreement; if the Soul Clan shows any movement, you can come find me."

After a long while, the two, having finished, stood neatly dressed at the entrance of the Lin Realm; Lin Feng embraced the lady in his arms and gently reminded her.

"Mm, I will."

Hearing that, Gu Xun'er, whose pretty face still held a hint of spring, immediately blushed and lightly bowed her head, looking like a demure young wife.

Only what she was thinking inside, no one knows.

After they had embraced for a while, Gu Xun'er then slipped out of his embrace.

She extended her delicate fingers, gathering the stray hairs behind her exquisite ears, and with her pink lips slightly opened said, "When I return, I'll immediately persuade those old men in the clan; remember to take over that territory."

As soon as the words left her mouth, her perfectly proportioned body twitched, then turned into a streak of light and vanished from Lin Feng's sight at incredible speed.

"Hehe, this time wasn't a loss; at least we now know the approximate timing of the next great war between the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan. From this perspective, I still have relatively enough time to boost my strength."

Staring at the back that vanished from his sight, Lin Feng immediately sneered.

Gu Xun'er, that woman, really has a wicked mind; she even wants him to become a pawn and fight the Soul Clan army.

Hmph, she really thinks he's a fool blinded by beauty!

Lin Feng is willing to guarantee with his life that, if he truly were foolish enough to rashly get involved in the Soul and Ancient sides' conflict.

On the Ancient Clan's side, they would definitely treat his whole family as disposable cannon fodder, consuming the Soul Clan's living power to lay the foundation for the Ancient people's victory.

"However, regarding the ownership of that territory, the Ancient Clan side surely has no obstacles now. What remains is to honestly take over the land and then start preparing to capture that Golden Core."

Thinking that the lingering worry of capturing the Ninth‑grade Golden Core is now solved, Lin Feng felt a little less anxious.

After all, if one were to conduct major affairs on Ancient Clan territory, the danger coefficient would be far too high.

"Now, I should also head to the Medicine Realm, inform Yun'er to take over that territory. As for me, I'll use this opportunity to master the Control Core Method. After all, dealing with an Eight‑Star Peak Dou Saint‑level Golden Core imposes strict time constraints in battle; we must not be careless. Otherwise, who knows what trouble might arise."

Thinking of this, Lin Feng quickly sent several soul messages to Qinglin and the others.

As for himself, he sped toward the southern Shennong Mountains in a rapid dash.
