Chapter 768

In the days that followed, Lin Feng could only wait every day at Leaf Court for Xiao Yan to emerge from seclusion.

Since there was nothing else to do, his daily life basically consisted of, during the day, studying deeper alchemy under the guidance of the elders of the Dan and Cao families, and at night researching the origins of life with Xin Lan.

Of course, after Cao Ying absorbed the earth-core soul marrow and successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the Soul Realm, she also fulfilled the promise she had made earlier.

And that night, too, left Lin Feng with endless aftertaste.

Of course, during this period, Lin Feng also gave the Imperial Spirit Flame he had long prepared to Dan Chen, that girl.

Upon receiving the flame, that girl, as he had expected, immediately broke into a delighted smile.

In her excitement, she even actively hugged Lin Feng and kissed him several times.

However, after that girl learned that Cao Ying, that wicked woman, had actually gotten a step ahead of her and successfully taken Lin Feng's body.

She, who originally did not get along with Cao Ying, now found her even more displeasing to the eye.

And whenever she saw Cao Ying and Lin Feng together, she would not fail to cause trouble.

However, because Cao Ying, Xin Lan, and Xiao Yixian often jointly opposed their common enemy at night, their relationship grew rapidly.

In just over ten days, they became as close as half-sisters.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng, who was waiting for Xiao Yan to emerge from seclusion, did not simply stand idle.

Since he had no time to absorb the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire, Lin Feng asked the Cao and Bai families to search for him metal-attribute eighth-rank magic cores.

Afterward, he successfully obtained more than ten metal-attribute eighth-rank magic cores from the Cao and Bai families.

As soon as he got the magic cores in hand, Lin Feng immediately tempered them, then circulated the Myriad Gang Body Tempering Technique to absorb them, strengthening his physique.

"My dear Phoenix, you've finally come back. How have you been feeling in the clan lately?"

In the room at Leaf Court, Lin Feng gazed at his wife who had been away for two months, happily embraced her, and asked with a smile.

"Don't mention it. Perhaps the old fogies in the clan, seeing my strength skyrocket, have been pushing their juniors on me nonstop since I returned."

Hearing this, Feng Qinger replied with a rather helpless expression.

Over these two months, every morning when she opened her eyes, an old man would bring his juniors to see her.

She had no doubt that if she stayed in the clan for a few more months, her spirit would surely be driven to problems.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing her words, Lin Feng, who had originally been smiling broadly, instantly could not smile anymore.

His face, which had still borne a faint smile, instantly turned solemn.

"What's wrong with you? How did your complexion turn so stern all of a sudden?"

Seeing Lin Feng's sudden change in complexion, Feng Qinger in his arms immediately felt puzzled.

"Someone's come to steal my wife from me—what do you think is wrong with me?"

In response to her question, Lin Feng tugged at the corner of his mouth and replied somewhat helplessly.

At that moment, he also quietly felt a bit of tension rise in his heart.

After all, he understood that if he could not quickly grow stronger, he would not be able to openly declare that Feng Qinger belonged to him.

For now, the people of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan are merely staying at the stage of introducing their juniors.

But if this continues, those high-and-mighty Sky Demon Phoenix powerhouses are very likely to gradually exhaust their patience and thus force his Phoenix wife to marry someone else.

"Rest assured, I have committed myself to you for this lifetime; I could never be with another man."

Hearing the worry in his words, Feng Qinger immediately comforted him.

At the same time, a hint of joy flashed in her purplish-brown beautiful eyes.

After all, Lin Feng showing such an expression obviously meant he cared deeply about her.

Lin Feng extended his palm, gently stroking Feng Qinger's noble little face, and said: "I will certainly believe your words, but I do not believe those high-ranking members of your Sky Demon Phoenix Clan."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qinger immediately fell silent.

She also understood that, being born into such a family, although she could enjoy cultivation resources beyond ordinary people's imagination,

but correspondingly, she would naturally lose many things.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. This time I've come back bearing something good for you."

After a brief silence in the room, Feng Qinger's clear voice, tinged with a hint of playfulness, slowly sounded in the room.

And upon hearing that rare hint of playfulness in his tone, Feng Qinger's curiosity was instantly aroused, and her gaze immediately turned toward him.

As for Feng Qinger, while speaking, she lightly wiped her spatial ring and took out a light-red scroll from it.

"Could this be some kind of combat technique?"

Seeing that it was a scroll, Lin Feng immediately guessed.

After all, since she knew he cultivated the Burning Scripture, it was impossible for her to give him a cultivation method.

As for prescriptions, Feng Qinger had likewise seen Yao Chen's vast collection before.

She knew that unless she produced the prescription for a nine-rank treasure pill, it would be hard to catch his attention.

So it was also unlikely to be a prescription.

Besides those two possibilities, what he could think of was a combat technique.

"Hehe, that's right. This time I returned to the clan, and after some persuasion, plus my bloodline having risen to seven-star rank, I finally succeeded in obtaining the chance to enter the clan's treasury and pick an item."

Speaking, Feng Qinger held up the scroll in her hand like an offering before Lin Feng and said: "I took this opportunity to search through countless choices and finally found a scroll of a sound-wave combat technique that is of good grade and has no bloodline restriction."

Having said that, Feng Qinger, worried Lin Feng might disdain it, explained: "Don't look down on it just because it's a high-tier Earth Tier technique; among high-tier Earth Tier techniques, this one is also among the very best, and given the inherent nature of sound-wave combat techniques, its value is likewise extremely high. As for its power, if you unleash it with your current soul strength, even a high-ranking Dou Zun who is not an alchemist would be somewhat embarrassed if caught off guard."

Furthermore, according to some information I inquired about in the clan, I learned that to learn a Heaven Tier sound-wave combat technique, unless it is specially tailored for your race, you at least need a Heavenly Realm Soul. Therefore, even if you later obtain such a sound-wave combat technique, if your soul strength is not strong enough, you must never rashly learn it; otherwise, lightly you could become an idiot, and severely you could be directly backlashed to death by the technique.

Seeing her so concerned about this matter, Lin Feng at this moment also felt warmth in his heart.

And the arm he had wrapped around Feng Qinger's soft, slender waist unconsciously tightened, after which he spoke softly: "My Phoenix, you've gone to such trouble before and after to obtain this combat technique for me; as your husband, I will certainly treasure it as a precious jewel—how could I possibly despise it?"

Feeling that affection from her man, Feng Qinger's heart also grew sweet.

Then she happily placed her pretty face on Lin Feng's chest, savoring the present tranquility.
