Chapter 169: Cai'er Refines Strength
Over the next few days, Cheng Feng arranged for the three people who had received the Super Serum injection to remain at the Hong Mansion so they could better adapt to the changes in their own strength.
Among them, Xu Miao was the first to complete this process. She had already reached the realm of Blood Refining Perfection, and now her control over her own force, Qi, and blood was even more refined. Facing her suddenly surging strength, she was naturally able to handle it with ease.
Cheng Feng privately compared the information Wang Hu had gathered with the information provided by Xu Miao and found them to be basically consistent, though it was a pity that Xu Miao was merely a "black glove" for Peng Yuyan and her knowledge was limited.
Cheng Feng himself did not rest either; he used three hundred taels of silver from the Hong Sect to add sixty new blades to the Hong Sect. These new blades were still crafted by Master Liu's blacksmith shop, and their workmanship was excellent.
Each Entry Disciple was equipped with one such Ordinary standard-issue iron blade, while the non-compliant weapons used previously, such as axes and iron-wrapped blades, were all phased out by Cheng Feng.
As for the disciples of the three halls, they had to rely on their own efforts. Those who had not yet been enrolled could not enjoy such generous treatment for the time being. Cheng Feng covered their clothing, food, and housing, but regarding transportation, horses were expensive, and with Cheng Feng's current financial resources, he could not yet afford them.
Cheng Feng planned to first seize the surrounding scattered territories before considering the issue of horses; right now, he really had no money.
Two days later, the eldest brother and Lao San finally adapted to the strength of their bodies. Cheng Feng urged them to keep a low profile and hide it as they had before; in the future, there would be even greater surprises waiting for them.
It had been some time since he entered the Bone Refining Realm. Cheng Feng had added almost all the Fortune Points he subsequently obtained to the Thunder Blade Technique.
Currently, his progress in the Thunder Blade Technique was: (Entry 63/200). When practicing with the Silver Feather Blade in hand, it also appeared incredibly fierce.
The Martial Arts Hall had three types of blade techniques, among which the Thunder Blade Technique was the most formidable. As Wang Tieshan's Inner Sect Closing Disciple, Cheng Feng naturally chose the Thunder Blade Technique.
The Stone-Splitting Blade Technique and the Willow Leaf Blade Technique were relatively simpler, but at the time, Cheng Feng's number of Fortune Points had not been increasing, so the effect of learning either one was about the same.
Now, the power of the Thunder Blade Technique had begun to emerge; every strike was as sharp as a gale, and every move was as shocking as a thunderclap.
Cheng Feng practiced his blade technique at home, while the women worked hard on the side to keep up with his pace.
So many servants had already been bought for the household that most things were done by the servants, so the women naturally had to find things for themselves to do; they were idle anyway.
Because having too many servants would lead to a waste of manpower, Cheng Feng even selected over a dozen male servants who were slightly older and had good bone structure and sent them into the Hong Sect's Training Camp, among whom was the ambitious He Wu.
Cheng Feng thought quite highly of him, because he not only had his own unique ideas and insights, but his ability to take action was also high. If his strength could be higher, he could be cultivated as a leader of the guards.
In any case, these people would become his own guards in the future; if any of them could successfully promote to a Martial Artist in the Training Camp, that would definitely be a profitable deal for Cheng Feng.
That afternoon, as the women continued to practice, Cai'er finally displayed the same state as Yu Niang—as the cultivation deepened, the potential within her body continuously surged, her complexion flushed, and her eyes took on a reddish hue.
Cheng Feng was secretly delighted; Cai'er was his first woman after all! Although she was plain in appearance, her figure and personality were superb. Furthermore, she managed the household affairs in an orderly manner and was undoubtedly a virtuous helpmate.
With good conditions for practicing Martial Dao, Cheng Feng hoped from the bottom of his heart that Cai'er could keep up with his pace. He did not dare to expect Cai'er to ascend to the peak with him, but once Cai'er's strength was powerful, she could lead the other women in various aspects and help him properly manage the entire Rear Courtyard.
Cheng Feng, as usual, guided Cai'er in front of him to throw punches and set her stance, ensuring that Cai'er could pass through the barrier as steadily as she did on ordinary days.
Cai'er felt the strength within her body surging violently, her body feeling somewhat bloated, as if she had endless strength, but at the same time, she was pleasantly surprised that her efforts had finally yielded good results.
She dared not delay in the slightest, following closely behind her man's boxing stance, mobilizing the strength within her body with every move and every style.
When she had completely mastered the strength within her body, Cai'er felt as if she had been reborn. Her body began to tremble slightly, and then, a black impurity was slowly expelled from her pores, emitting an unpleasant odor.
Cai'er was somewhat flustered; she hurriedly ran toward the inner courtyard, calling out to the maidservants beside her as she ran, telling them to prepare hot water immediately. Hearing Cai'er's call, the maidservants busied themselves in a rush.
Before long, the hot water was ready. Cai'er quickly jumped into the bathtub, the warm water surrounding her body, making her feel incomparably comfortable. She gently scrubbed her body, trying to wash away all the impurities on her skin.
After washing up, Cai'er stood up from the bathtub and dried her body with a towel. Her skin had become smoother and more delicate, emitting a faint fragrance. Cai'er put on her clothes somewhat shyly, then slowly walked out.
Seeing that the eldest sister of the household had finally achieved her wish and succeeded, the women offered their congratulations one after another. Some touched Cai'er's hands, others examined her face; it seemed that after Cai'er gave birth, the little bit of fat on her belly had truly vanished without a trace.
As an Equal Wife, Meiniang naturally knew the importance of Cai'er's position in Cheng Feng's heart. Seeing Cheng Feng so excited, she also made up her mind to work twice as hard.
The reason Cheng Feng was so happy was that the final Super Serum could finally be put to use. Compared to Yu Niang's pure combat strength, Cai'er not only occupied a special position in the hearts of the many women, but also, when Cai'er's own strength was also quite outstanding, only then could the maximum effect of the serum be truly realized.
After joking with the women, Cai'er walked to Cheng Feng's side with deep affection and called out "Master" in a charming voice, the sound alluring and moving, enough to make one's bones go soft.
Cheng Feng could not help but raise his flag in salute, but thinking that it was almost time for dinner, he decided to discuss this matter in detail at night.
However, at least the melancholy in Cai'er's eyes had disappeared, replaced by an even brighter radiance. Cheng Feng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Cai'er; we must celebrate properly tonight."
Hearing the "congratulations" that Cheng Feng had deliberately emphasized, Cai'er's legs could not help but go a little weak, and the smile on her face grew even more brilliant: "Then this Concubine will await Master."
That night, Cai'er transformed into a female warrior, riding a horse to hunt and galloping across the battlefield, but alas, her strength was limited and she still did not defeat her opponent, so she had to call for reinforcements to fight the formidable enemy together.
