"Hehe, of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you? Now, just be good and wait for your sister Xian'er to finish her seclusion."
Looking at her cute little expression, Lin Feng said with a gentle smile full of affection.
"Yes, you did lie to me before, husband! That time… you know which one I mean!"
Before he could even finish, Ye Xin Lan immediately retorted.
"Uh... what thing? I don't remember," Lin Feng replied, momentarily speechless before pretending not to know anything. As long as he didn't admit it, it didn't count as lying — that was his logic.
"Husband, you're being shameless!"
Seeing him outright deny what he had done, Ye Xin Lan pouted, looking both wronged and flustered. After all, that kind of thing wasn't something she could just go around shouting about in public.
"Alright, you two, that's enough."
Watching the two of them bicker like children, Feng Qing'er finally stepped in helplessly to stop them. Then, she turned to Lin Feng and asked, "So, what stage has your soul power reached now?"
"Late Spirit Realm. At most, I should be able to refine seven-colored eighth-tier pills. But that'll require some time for me to get fully accustomed to my new soul power first."
Hearing her question, Lin Feng replied with a faint smile.
After all, ever since he had absorbed the soul of the Lue Feng Zun Zhe, his own soul power had already been close to mid-stage Spirit Realm. Later, when he broke through to the Dou Zun level, his soul power naturally rose to mid-stage Spirit Realm as well.
Now, after absorbing two more mid-stage Spirit Realm soul bodies, he had taken advantage of the momentum and advanced directly into late-stage Spirit Realm. Upon hearing that Lin Feng's soul had reached late-stage Spirit Realm, both women's eyes lit up with delight.
Such formidable soul power was already on par with many of the senior elders inside the Small Pill Tower. Once Lin Feng became proficient in controlling that power and could successfully refine an eighth-tier, seven-colored pill, his status would skyrocket.
By then, even some of those nine-turn Dou Zun experts would have to treat him with courtesy. More importantly, Lin Feng was not even twenty-six years old yet, and he could already refine a seven-colored eighth-tier pill.
Such a terrifying level of talent would definitely make the Small Pill Tower treat him as the next Grand Elder candidate for cultivation and training.
When that time came, Lin Feng's position within the Pill Tower would be unshakable — even the Three Leaders of the Pill Tower wouldn't be able to suppress him!
Thinking of all those benefits, Ye Xin Lan grew so excited that she jumped out of Lin Feng's embrace and summoned her Dou Qi wings, flying swiftly into the distance.
At the same time, she turned her head and called back to Lin Feng, "Then I'll go tell Grandpa to prepare more medicinal ingredients for you! That way, during these next two months, you'll have plenty of materials to refine pills and adapt to your soul power!"
With that, she flew off at full speed toward Ye Zhong's residence.
"This girl…"
Watching Ye Xin Lan's figure disappear into the distance, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.
Then, remembering that he still had some materials for eighth-tier pills inside his ring, he turned to Feng Qing'er and said, "Since the Pill Gathering is about to begin, I'll go into seclusion for a while to improve my alchemy skills. If Xian'er comes out of seclusion, have her help Xin Lan refine these soul bodies."
As he spoke, Lin Feng gently swiped his palm across his storage ring.
In an instant, a faint glow flickered and quickly faded away. When that light disappeared, ten black soul pouches appeared neatly before Lin Feng. Lin Feng gently waved his hand, sending the soul pouches floating toward Feng Qing'er.
"Alright."
Knowing that he had important matters to attend to, Feng Qing'er accepted them without hesitation and stored them inside her ring.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she thought back to the past period while Lin Feng had been in seclusion. During that time, she had managed to obtain quite a number of bodies and magic cores from her clan through various means.
With a flick of her jade-like fingers, her ring glimmered faintly as more than a dozen bodies and magic cores appeared before her.
Pushing those items toward Lin Feng, she parted her pink lips and said softly, "These were all gathered from the clan while you were in seclusion. Especially these bodies — their quality is excellent. Whether you want to use them to revive someone or refine Sky Demon Puppets, they'll be more than enough."
Hearing that, Lin Feng's gaze swept quickly across the bodies.
Each of the dozen or so corpses varied in appearance and gender, but all emitted a faint, oppressive aura. From that alone, Lin Feng could tell that these people had all been at least peak Dou Zun in life!
Realizing how useful these bodies would be, Lin Feng's lips curled into a grin, "My wife Qing'er really is incredible. You've helped your husband out big time again."
With a wave of his hand, he stored all the items in his ring, then turned, ready to head off for seclusion and alchemy practice. But then he paused.
Ever since leaving Holy Pill City to break through to Dou Zun, Feng Qing'er had been waiting patiently. He hadn't had much time to properly enjoy being with his three wives. So, after thinking about it, Lin Feng stopped in his tracks.
He walked up to Feng Qing'er, wrapped his arms around her slender, curvy figure, and pulled her into his embrace. Then, leaning forward slightly, he placed a light kiss on her soft lips and said gently, "I'll be in seclusion for a while. After the Pill Gathering, I'll make it up to you all."
With that, he turned and left the courtyard, disappearing into his secluded chamber.
Rumble—
Not long after Lin Feng entered seclusion, dark clouds began gathering over the Ye Clan Manor every few days. The alchemic tribulation lightning in the sky also grew increasingly intense from four-colored to five-colored, and eventually to six-colored.
Meanwhile, Ye Xin Lan, under the assistance of Xiao Yixian after leaving her own seclusion, had successfully refined the essence of around one hundred thousand souls. As a result, her soul power finally reached the peak of the Mortal Realm.
After that, she and Xiao Yixian entered seclusion again together. Both of their soul powers had skyrocketed so suddenly that they needed time to adapt — and the best way to do that, naturally, was through pill refinement.
So, for many days afterward, the skies above the Ye Clan Manor frequently erupted with pure silver tribulation lightning. However, after more than a month of nonstop refining, the three of them were forcefully interrupted by Feng Qing'er.
After all, the Pill Gathering was only twenty days away now. Traveling from Ye City to Holy Pill City would already take several days, and they still needed time to prepare for any unexpected events.
Since none of them had come out yet, Feng Qing'er had no choice but to use force to wake them.
"Ah, if I just had a little more time, I might've been able to refine a seven-colored eighth-tier pill," Lin Feng sighed softly.
Standing before the private spatial wormhole in the Ye Clan Manor, he glanced at the clan members making final preparations. Over the past month, he had completely mastered the refinement of six-colored pills.
If he had just a few more chances to practice, he might have successfully refined a seven-colored pill. But thinking of the upcoming Pill Gathering, he had no choice but to abandon his plans to linger in Ye City any longer.
With one last look, Lin Feng stepped forward and entered the dark swirling vortex ahead.
