Chapter 42: If You Can Bear Them, Bear a Few More!

A Martial Pill Realm cultivator daring to challenge a Wudao Realm cultivator — utterly overestimating himself.

Lin Feng's gaze turned cold. This woman was trouble; she'd likely cause more trouble once she woke up.

If he didn't kill her, once she returned to the Yao Sect, she might bring great trouble to the Lin Family.

But if he killed her, at her age and with such cultivation, she was probably a Core Disciple of the Yao Sect.

In that case, she surely had her Life Soul Lamp in the Yao Sect.

Killing her would also be trouble…

Just then, Lin Ya awoke. The Spirit Qi on his body surged like a fountain, constantly spilling outward, followed by Spirit Qi accompanied by some black, viscous substance.

This was the sign of breaking through from the Body Tempering Realm to Foundation Building.

Marrow washing and bone cleansing — from this moment on, Lin Ya's cultivation path could be considered to have taken its first small step.

"Clan Leader, I did it!"

Lin Ya was overjoyed. He clenched his fist and immediately felt a force lingering in his hand.

But before he could be happy for a few seconds, he saw the unconscious Huang Ling'er.

"Clan Leader, while I was cultivating, you went and caught a woman — what are you planning to do?"

Lin Ya's face changed again and again. Surely they weren't going to take this woman back and make her his primary wife?

"We ate her Demon Beast, she came looking for trouble with us, so I knocked her out." Seeing that something was being misunderstood, Lin Feng immediately explained.

"That Mountain Lord actually had an owner? I was wondering why it had a bell hanging around its neck."

Lin Ya understood. At the same time, Huang Ling'er gradually awoke.

"Bastard, how dare you knock me out — just wait until I—"

True to form, Huang Ling'er was about to cause trouble. Lin Feng gave a look, Lin Ya took the hint, and directly tied her up.

Lin Feng even grabbed a handful of weeds and stuffed them into Huang Ling'er's mouth.

The two worked with practiced hands and tacit coordination, leaving Huang Ling'er completely dumbfounded.

"Clan Leader, should we kill her?"

Lin Ya made a throat-slitting gesture.

Lin Feng shook his head: "Why is your killing intent so heavy, kid?"

"This woman is a Core Disciple of the Yao Sect. Killing her would bring no small trouble."

Still, even though he said that, he definitely couldn't let her go in the short term — otherwise she could return to the Yao Sect and bide her time for revenge.

"Then what do we do?" Lin Ya said, caught between laughter and tears.

Lin Feng's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a good method: "Bury her!"

"What? Didn't you say we wouldn't kill her?" Lin Ya's mouth twitched.

Lin Feng stretched out a hand and shot out a burst of Spirit Qi, blasting a large pit in the ground.

He then had Lin Ya gather up all traces of the giant tiger and toss them all into the pit.

After doing all this, Lin Feng walked up to Huang Ling'er and said coldly: "This giant tiger devoured hundreds of people. Since it was your pet, it's your own fault for not watching it properly."

"Such sins — its master should bear the blame too. Today I bury you here to reflect on your wrongs."

After saying this, Lin Feng grabbed Huang Ling'er and threw her into the pit.

"Mmgh! Mmgh!"

Huang Ling'er panicked. She was the Saintess of the Yao Sect, held in lofty esteem — and now she'd been dug a pit and buried by Lin Feng?

This was simply an insult!

Lin Ya quickly filled in the soil, and in no time had Huang Ling'er buried.

"Clan Leader, the job's done." Lin Ya said hurriedly, only to see Lin Feng's face grow solemn.

"Dig her out — I forgot to seal her cultivation."

Lin Ya was speechless, but even more impressed by the Clan Leader's meticulous mind. He dug her back out.

Lin Feng immediately flicked out two fingers, sending a stream of Spirit Qi into Huang Ling'er's dantian to seal her meridians.

Within a short time, Huang Ling'er wouldn't be able to break free.

"Bastard! Just wait until I get out — I'll definitely kill you!"

Huang Ling'er was filled with grief and fury. When had she ever been treated like this?

Lin Feng paid no attention. This woman couldn't be killed, couldn't be released — might as well just handle it this way.

Give the Lin Family some more time, and when the time came they wouldn't have to fear the Yao Sect's revenge, and naturally they could release Huang Ling'er.

Lin Ya covered her with soil and stomped on it a few times.

Seeing it was packed firmly, he finally relaxed.

Lin Feng was well pleased. After the Hundred Clans Assembly, he could just release this woman. As for a dead tiger, it was no big deal.

"Let's go, head home."

Lin Feng laughed heartily and quickly left with Lin Ya.

Only they didn't know that even with her meridians sealed, Huang Ling'er still had other means to escape…

Ziyun City, Lin Family.

The moment Lin Feng returned, he went straight to see Lin Hai. After feeding him the Fuchun Pill, Lin Hai's condition visibly improved.

"Clan Leader, the Elder's life is saved," Lin Zhengshang said excitedly. "But full recovery will still take some time."

"If only our Lin Family had a Blessed Land and Grotto Heaven."

Hearing this, Lin Feng gave a helpless smile.

A Blessed Land and Grotto Heaven was rich in Spirit Qi. If Lin Hai were in such an environment, his injuries would recover even faster.

If they couldn't find a Blessed Land and Grotto Heaven, using a Spirit Gathering Formation was also a good option.

Lin Feng thought it over, then asked Lin Zhengshang, "Third Elder, how many Spirit Stones does it cost to buy a Spirit Gathering Formation?"

"Clan Leader, what are you up to now!"

Lin Zhengshang's heart lurched—was Lin Feng about to spend money again?

And every time, it was a fortune!

"Just say it straight!" Lin Feng said irritably. This Third Elder was practically turning into a miser.

Lin Zhengshang did some mental arithmetic, then said, "A one-star Spirit Gathering Formation costs about fifty thousand Spirit Stones to set up; a two-star one runs over a hundred and fifty thousand; a three-star one…"

"Stop!"

Lin Feng hurriedly cut Lin Zhengshang off.

That was way too expensive.

Even though the Lin Family had a Spirit Stone Vein, it couldn't stand up to spending like that.

But the matter of the Spirit Gathering Formation was urgent—raising the clan members' Cultivation benefited everyone.

"A Spirit Gathering Formation is not something we can afford to play with," Lin Zhengshang said in a subdued voice.

Lin Feng raised a hand to his forehead and headed toward the Back Mountain. At this stage, he still had to find a way to raise the family's overall strength first; once that was done, he could develop all kinds of resources and get a Spirit Gathering Formation.

Walking into the rear courtyard, a man and a woman, two Lin Clan Members, came over.

"Lin An, along with his wife Yang Shishi, greets the Clan Leader." The young man bowed respectfully.

Just then, a voice rang out in Lin Feng's mind.

【Ding! Detected that clan member Yang Shishi has conceived new Lin bloodline. Random Reward: Three-Star Pill Spirit Gathering Pill *100, Four-Star Pill Origin-Nurturing Pill *100, one Four-Star Spirit Gathering Formation.】

There hadn't been many pregnancies in the clan lately—he'd almost forgotten about it. Now that the prompt suddenly popped up, Lin Feng got quite a scare.

But very quickly, Lin Feng was overjoyed.

"A Four-Star Spirit Gathering Formation—just like that, it appeared!"

Lin Feng burst out laughing. Now the clan members before him looked very pleasing to his eye.

"You're Lin An, right? And your wife is Yang Shishi?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Lin An was a little nervous and nodded repeatedly, "To be remembered by the Clan Leader is our honor!"

"No need to be nervous. Your wife is pregnant—well done."

Lin Feng said with a big laugh, secretly opening Lin An's panel. This fellow's Spiritual Root, aptitude, and Comprehension were all nothing special.

Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to add points for him.

However, Lin Feng directly spent a hundred points of Qi Luck Value, putting them all on Lin An and Yang Shishi's pregnancy odds.

If they can bear children, then have a few more!
