Chapter 233: Manpower Expansion

After burying the Corpse Kings and Gold Corpses, what remained were the corpses of those elders and sect members of the Corpse King Sect.

Although these corpses were basically stitched together, the value in them was not low, especially the corpses of the elders, which contributed several fierce ghosts to Lin Feng.

Besides that, what remained were Iron Corpses and a large number of ordinary corpses. These corpses were the most numerous, and they could not be buried in a short time, so they could only be placed in the graveyard first and wait to be buried slowly later.

When Lin Feng buried two hundred corpses today, his internal energy ushered in a surge again. Under the effect of the *Nine Turns Returning Origin Technique*, his total internal energy broke through the 700-year mark in one fell swoop!

"Whoosh!"

After finishing his practice, Lin Feng could clearly feel the internal energy surging within the meridians of his dantian. It seemed that as long as he operated it slightly, it could be released from his body immediately.

"If the total internal energy reaches a thousand years, it will definitely be able to break through the level of a Martial Dao Venerable in one fell swoop. Speaking of which, those old predecessors in the past, in order to increase internal energy, besides practicing day and night, also needed to rely on all kinds of heaven and earth treasures or resources."

"Now I only need to bury corpses to increase internal energy. This is already much easier than them!"

The cultivation method of ordinary people destined that he could not have much achievement in martial arts, but those martial arts families with long inheritance would not lack all kinds of means to increase internal energy.

Including methods such as passing on power, medicinal baths, tonics, special cultivation methods, etc., those martial arts families with deep accumulation always had ways.

This was also an important reason why those people in the previous dynasty could break through Martial Dao Grandmasters and Martial Dao Venerables. Otherwise, ordinary cultivation alone would be impossible to break through the limit before the lifespan was exhausted.

It is worth mentioning that after breaking through the Martial Dao Grandmaster, the martial artist's physique began to change. Due to the nourishment of massive internal energy, their lifespan was longer than that of ordinary people. As long as they did not suffer serious injuries that damaged their foundation, they could live to 150 years old.

And the lifespan of a Martial Dao Venerable was even longer. If there were no accidents, they could possess a lifespan of over two hundred years.

It was just that such lifespans were only theoretical values. The two Corpse Kings that Lin Feng buried did not live that long in their lifetime before dying suddenly.

This was also the place that made him feel there was a problem. He always felt that there was some mastermind specifically targeting those who could break through Martial Dao Venerables.

"I hope you don't find your way to me, otherwise I will have to drag you out when the time comes!"

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's eyes became cold. If it was really as he guessed, then after he broke through to Martial Dao Venerable, that mastermind would sooner or later appear before him.

It was just that he was different from other Martial Dao Venerables. Now he could use three Jie Gui, and there were also four Zai Gui, as well as a massive Zhiren army.

If there really was a Sage coming to find his trouble, then he would like to see how powerful the other party's means were?

"Next, continue to expand the Zhiren army. Tonight, I must solve the hidden danger of Saint Skeleton Mountain, otherwise the output of ore will always not be able to increase."

After the internal energy gradually calmed down, Lin Feng began to ponder about the next things. According to his plan, the Iron Ghost Wolf Cavalry must continue to be built. The current number was only nearly a hundred, which was not enough to form a powerful cavalry unit.

And now the biggest factor restricting the output of the Ghost Iron Wolf Cavalry was only one, and that was the gray mist at the top of Saint Skeleton Mountain.

Now that he had three Jie Gui in his hands, he could try to solve it using the Ghost Iron Statue.

"Crack, crack, crack."

He released the Ghost Iron Statue and let the Shuangzi Gui enter it, and then Lin Feng handed a few black jade dark gold talismans to it.

Besides the Shuangzi Gui, the two newly completed Zhiren Upper Generals and ten Zhiren Generals were also ready. At the same time, the more than a hundred Ghost Iron Wolf Cavalry completed today in the forging workshop also came here according to Lin Feng's order.

"Crack, crack, crack."

Looking at these powerful generals and cavalry, Lin Feng's mood was quite good, so he directly opened the Ghost Gate and let them enter the Yinjian military camp.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack."

As this team entered the Yinjian, it immediately attracted the attention of the corpse-carrying craftsmen and Yin-walking people in the military camp.

Especially the two Zhiren Upper Generals were Zai Gui themselves, and the terrifying momentum unique to Zai Jie they emitted made the corpse-carrying craftsmen and Yin-walking people feel under great pressure.

Although this time Lin Feng did not arrange any big scene for the Ghost Iron Statue, just having two Zhiren Upper Generals and ten Zhiren Generals following was enough to have a sufficiently powerful aura.

When Lin Feng walked to the main camp room in the center of the military camp and sat down, those corpse-carrying craftsmen and Yin-walking people immediately came before him to kowtow and salute.

"Subordinate Lu Daoguang pays respects to the Adult!"

"Subordinate Jiang Henian pays respects to the Adult!"

"Subordinate Jiang Yujin pays respects to the Adult!"

"Subordinate..."

Looking at the number of people today being much more than usual, Lin Feng could not help but feel a bit strange, so he directly asked them.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Hearing Lin Feng's inquiry, Lu Daoguang hurriedly stood out and opened his mouth to explain to Lin Feng: "Reporting to the Adult, these are all people from the subordinate's family. Because they admire the Adult, they have the intention to defect. They are more familiar with the Yinjian than the subordinate, and can find more materials and mineral resources for the Adult."

"So I hope you can take them in. In the future, we will surely make more contributions to the Adult!"

After Lu Daoguang finished speaking, he immediately requested in unison with the others to Lin Feng: "I hope the Adult can take us in!"

On the side of the corpse-carrying craftsman Jiang family, Jiang Qingsong could not sit still now, so he also stood out and said to Lin Feng: "Adult, our Jiang family has also admired the Adult for a long time. Now we have come to defect to the Adult as a whole, I hope the Adult can take us in!"

"I hope the Adult can take us in!"

Behind him, other people of the Jiang family also knelt down one after another and requested to Lin Feng in unison.

Lin Feng really did not expect them to suddenly do such a thing. According to his thoughts, these families with long inheritance should be used to putting eggs in different baskets.

If it weren't for the last resort, usually these families would not defect to one side as a whole. After all, the risk of doing so was too great, and if they were not careful, it would be the end of the whole clan.

"Have you really decided?"

But whether he could understand it or not was not important. Since these people wanted to defect to him, should he refuse?

Free labor was naturally the more the better. Lin Feng still wanted to build the Town-Ghost Tower, Four Extremes Town-Ghost City, and other things, and needed all kinds of manpower to help.

"Back to the Adult, yes!"

"That's right, being able to serve the Adult is our honor!"

"I hope the Adult will not dislike us!"

"We have decided to hand over this life to the Adult!"

"..."

Hearing Lin Feng's inquiry, these two families immediately patted their chests and answered to Lin Feng. That expression and tone looked as sincere as they could be.

Those who didn't know would think they really admired Lin Feng for a long time, but in fact, it looked like they just wanted to hold onto Lin Feng's thigh.

"Fine!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng thought for a while and agreed. Regarding these people, his requirements were not high, as long as they could complete the tasks he assigned.

As long as he could reward merit and punish faults, and let them compete with each other, it would only be good for him in the end.

"Thank you, Adult, for taking us in!"

"Thank you, Adult, for taking us in!"

"..."

Having obtained Lin Feng's consent, these two families were overjoyed, and then immediately kowtowed and saluted Lin Feng in unison. ===== CHAPTER 234 =====
