190: The troubles of having too many wives

Years passed leisurely. Eight years, which were long for Mortals, were but a flick of a finger for Cultivators.

Inside his Immortal Cave, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes.

The five-colored miniature mountain floating before him was now completely connected to his mind. The Yuan Magnetic Divine Light on its surface was fully contained, with not a trace leaking out, as if it were an ordinary object.

The Divine Ability, Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, had reached Major Achievement.

Yet, his heart remained undisturbed, without a single ripple.

Stepping out of the Immortal Cave and arriving at the main hall of the Immortal Island, a stack of Jade Slips lay quietly on the jade table in front of the hall.

They were left by Ling Yuling.

Lin Feng's Divine Sense swept across them, and dozens of Jade Slips flew up in unison, slowly unfolding before him.

The turbulent changes in the Chaotic Star Sea over the past eight years flowed through his mind like a scroll painting.

Under his secret control, the Star Palace had grown increasingly powerful, its prestige now encompassing the entire Inner Sea.

And the Myriad Sound Sect, a previously obscure small Sect, was now the Inner Sea's foremost commercial alliance.

In the Jade Slips, Ling Yuling described Wang Ning's methods with an astonished tone, clearly admiring her greatly.

Leaning on the Star Palace as a mighty tree, she did not blindly rely on it. Instead, she skillfully maneuvered, forming alliances and managing the Myriad Sound Sect meticulously, with business extending to all islands in the Inner Sea.

The circulation of treasures, intelligence trading, and even commissions between high-level Cultivators now all passed through the Myriad Sound Sect.

The title of "Purple Spirit Fairy" had long resounded throughout the Chaotic Star Sea, and even the Star Palace Grand Elder had mentioned her multiple times during discussions, with words full of praise.

"Not bad."

Lin Feng put down the Jade Slips, a smile playing on his lips.

This girl had grown faster and better than he had anticipated.

Even if he had personally managed it, he might not have done a better job than her.

Little Wang Ning had gradually transformed into Purple Spirit Fairy, so there was no need for further interference.

He left a sound transmission talisman for Ling Yuling, giving a few instructions, then his figure flickered, and an abstruse Teleportation Formation appeared beneath his feet.

Anchor Teleportation.

A flash of light, and his figure vanished from the peak of Tianxing City, traversing the endless sea and directly arriving in the Southern Heavenly Continent.

Falling Cloud Sect, Taibai Peak.

Lin Feng's figure quietly appeared at the peak.

His return this time was not on a whim.

Fu Cheng, an Elder of the Nine Underworlds Sect, had once said that there would be a secret underground auction in the Great Jin in ten years, and Bai Yaoyi of the Xiao Ji Palace would also attend.

Calculating the time, only half a year remained until the auction.

He did not plan to bring Nangong Wan on this trip.

So why did he specifically rush back to the Falling Cloud Sect?

Lin Feng's Divine Sense swept across the various peaks within the Sect, sensing familiar auras, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

It was simply because within this Falling Cloud Sect, his confidantes, plus Song Yu, with whom the window paper had not yet been pierced, and Mu Peiling, who had not yet joined the Sect, totaled eight.

The four on the Barren Island of Wanming Island were cultivating nearby, enjoying the protection of the Star Palace, so let's not mention them for now. As for Purple Spirit and Ling Yuling, they were both in the ascendant phase of their careers.

Thus, this most stable Falling Cloud Sect had become his current gentle harem.

If the backyard was unstable, how could they sleep in the same room and ascend to the Spirit Realm together in the future?

Therefore, what Lin Feng did in the following months, if it were to spread, would be enough to shake the entire Southern Heavenly Cultivation World.

The dignified Late Stage Nascent Soul Perfection Grand Cultivator, the Star Palace Master who could annihilate a Sect with a wave of his hand, the legendary Grand Elder of the Falling Cloud Sect.

He actually became a "house husband" for the women within the Sect.

For a full five months.

He accompanied Nangong Wan in a small pavilion, sipping tea and discussing the Dao, exploring the profound mysteries of Cultivation Techniques.

He also accompanied Mo Fengwu on horseback, experiencing the myriad aspects of the Mortal World in Mortal cities.

He would appear in Chen Qiaoqian's Immortal Cave, quietly watching her embroider and listening to her talk about her Family's recent situation.

He would also appear in Dong Xuan'er's boudoir, being entangled by that vixen for some "punishment games" that were not to be spoken of to outsiders.

He guided Mo Yuzhu in her cultivation, finding her the most suitable Cultivation Technique.

He also drank with Song Yu under the moonlight, watching her gradually open up from her initial shyness, her eyes sparkling when she talked about her insights into Formations.

He even took the time to visit the Mu Family, found the newly born Mu Peiling, and, as a "passing Senior," subtly bestowed an Opportunity.

Finally, he also went to see Liu Yu, the woman who silently handled all his mundane affairs, and accompanied her to watch the starry sky all night.

These five months, Lin Feng felt more exhausted than his eight years of secluded cultivation.

The women of the Falling Cloud Sect were naturally overjoyed by Lin Feng's actions, and the entire Falling Cloud Sect seemed to bask in the spring breeze.

But Lin Feng also keenly sensed the undercurrents within.

His women, unknowingly, had actually split into two distinct factions.

One faction, led by Nangong Wan, held noble status within the Sect and possessed a cold temperament.

Mo Fengwu, being highly adaptable, was her most capable assistant.

Mo Yuzhu and Song Yu, one gentle and the other calm and reserved, were also close to this faction.

The other faction seemed much more "independent."

Dong Xuan'er was seductive and bold, Chen Qiaoqian was gentle as water, Liu Yu was meticulous and considerate, plus the yet-to-be-officially-initiated Mu Peiling.

They either had humble backgrounds or were not good at socializing, and were not very familiar with the other women.

For Nangong Wan to put down her airs as Yanyue Sect Sect Master and proactively mingle with Dong Xuan'er and the others?

Lin Feng thought about that scene and shook his head; that was unlikely.

Ultimately, this arduous task fell on Mo Fengwu's shoulders.

"Phoenix Dance, from now on... among them, I'll rely on you to move around more."

On a night when it was just the two of them, Lin Feng put his arm around her waist and said with a headache.

Mo Fengwu leaned into his arms, giggling, and gave him a charming glance.

"Now you know you have a headache? Why didn't you think about this when you caused so many romantic debts back then?"

Despite her words, she still extended her jade finger and gently poked Lin Feng's chest.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

"But... when does Husband plan to bring all the sisters together?"

Lin Feng's heart stirred.

He indeed had this idea, to bring everyone to a blessed Immortal Cave and build a true home.

But he shook his head: "It's not time yet."

Neither the Southern Heavenly Continent nor the Chaotic Star Sea was safe enough yet.

What he wanted was to build a home where they could live carefree and long lives after he became powerful.

...

Bidding farewell to the reluctant women, Lin Feng finally embarked on his journey to the Great Jin.

Alas, the management of the harem group was a heavy and long road.

He sighed in his heart, shook his head, and cast these chaotic thoughts out of his mind.

On his back, he carried a seemingly ordinary green bamboo tube, made from the core of a ten-thousand-year Soul Nurturing Wood.

Great Yan Divine Lord's Divine Soul was nurtured within it.

This trip to the Xiao Ji Palace was fraught with danger, and bringing this knowledgeable old Senior would undoubtedly increase his chances of success.

During his flight, Great Yan Divine Lord's somewhat embarrassed thought came from within the bamboo tube.

"Kid, are you really going to that Xiao Ji Palace?"

"Yes, there's something I need to do."

Lin Feng responded calmly.

"Alas..." Great Yan Divine Lord sighed, "That place, I only went there once back then. The palace is filled with Restrictions, and I don't know much about it. I'm afraid... I can't be of much help to you."

Over the years, he had received countless benefits from Lin Feng. His Divine Soul had not only fully recovered but was even more condensed than when he was at his peak.

The mountain of top-grade Materials allowed him to immerse himself in the ocean of Artifact Refining and puppet crafting, carefree.

Having received so many benefits from someone, and now that the other party was taking him on a long journey for the first time, he found himself unable to be of use. This made Great Yan Divine Lord's old face feel a bit ashamed.
