309: Chapter 308 A Great Defeat to Li Jing: This is the Foundation of the Tian Ce Mansion

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King had fled, and he had run faster than a rabbit.

But the mess he left behind still remained.

The thousands of heavenly soldiers who hadn't managed to escape, or who had been scalded unconscious and fallen down, were now lying on the open ground outside the city like lambs waiting for the slaughter, their bodies flushed red as they groaned, emitting a distinct scent of seafood.

Lin Feng did not kill them.

As a "proper businessman" with a head for commerce, Lin Feng felt that killing people was too wasteful.

Every heavenly soldier was a walking Immortal Crystal!

"Liu Ming, tie up all these captives for me," Lin Feng said, pointing at the heavenly soldiers.

"Use the best Binding Immortal Ropes; don't skimp on the money. Then, issue a ransom notice to the Heavenly Court. State the prices clearly: one hundred High Grade Immortal Crystals for a regular heavenly soldier, five hundred for a squad leader, and one thousand for a commander. No credit, and no installment plans."

Liu Ming was stunned: "What if the Heavenly Court refuses to pay? They are very concerned about their Face."

"Refuse to pay?" Lin Feng sneered, "Then let them go dig coal in the mines! I'm currently lacking labor. They won't be released until they've dug for a hundred years, not a day less. And we have to feed them, just give them boiled vegetables in water; we'll call it 'recalling bitterness and thinking of sweetness'."

"Yes! Chief is wise! I'll get right on it!" Liu Ming looked at him with admiration.

This wasn't war; this was stocking up on inventory! Following the Chief, it was hard not to get rich!

However, this wasn't the main event of the day.

Lin Feng knew that although the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King had fled, the Heavenly Court would never let the matter rest.

Furthermore, what had just happened was only the first wave of probing.

The real hard battle was still to come.

Therefore, he had to improve the strength of his own people.

Relying on himself to cheat was not enough; he had to take his underlings along to cheat as well.

"Call the eight hundred death soldiers who followed me first," Lin Feng ordered.

Soon, eight hundred death soldiers dressed in black, their bodies radiating Evil Qi, assembled on the plaza.

Their eyes were fanatical; they looked at Lin Feng as if looking at a deity.

In the battle just now, Lin Feng's means of covering the sky with one hand and evaporating the Heavenly River had completely conquered them.

"You performed well."

Lin Feng looked at these people and nodded with satisfaction, "I said that following me, Lin Feng, means having meat to eat and wine to drink. Today, I am fulfilling that promise."

"System, activate 'Divine-Grade Equipment Wholesale' mode."

"Give me eight hundred sets of 'Standard Acquired Spirit Treasure'! I want the kind that has a flashy design, overpowered attributes, and comes with automatic healing and automatic defense functions! Also, give me eight hundred 'Great Luo Medicinal Pills' (low-spec version, no side effects)!"

[Ding! Two hundred million critical hit points deducted! Wholesale successful!]

[Goods have been delivered, please check!]

Whoosh—!

With a wave of Lin Feng's hand, countless armors, weapons, and Medicinal Pills shimmering with treasure light descended like rain, piling up into a small mountain on the plaza.

The treasure light soared into the sky, turning the night into day!

Every piece of armor flowed with mysterious runes, possessing astonishing defensive power; every weapon emitted a bloodthirsty cold light, capable of tearing through the Void Realm even with a light swing.

The Medicinal Pills were even more fragrant; just taking one breath of their scent could make one's cultivation foundation loosen!

The entire scene fell into dead silence.

Everyone was stunned, even forgetting how to breathe.

This was the legendary Acquired Spirit Treasure? And it was... wholesaled?!

Outside, even a single Low Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure would cause countless Golden Immortals to fight until their heads broke, or even trigger sectarian wars.

And now, it was piled up here like Chinese cabbage?

"This is the equipment for you all," Lin Feng said indifferently, as if he had just thrown away a pile of trash, "One set per person, and one Medicinal Pill per person.

After taking the pill, you should all be able to Breakthrough to the Peak Golden Immortal Realm without any side effects.

Once you put on the equipment and coordinate with my 'Tiance Battle Formation', even if a Taiyi Golden Immortal comes, you will hack them into meat paste for me!"

"Gulp."

It was unclear who swallowed their saliva first, but the sound was exceptionally loud in the silent plaza.

Immediately after, the eight hundred death soldiers knelt down in unison, their knees cracking the floor, their voices shaking the heavens:

"We swear loyalty to the Chief!!"

"We are willing to go through fire and water for Tiance Mansion!!"

"Whoever dares to touch a hair on the Chief's head, we will slaughter their entire family!"

At this moment, their loyalty was completely locked; even if Lin Feng asked them to go hack the Jade Emperor, they would draw their blades without hesitation.

After all, even their own biological fathers weren't this generous!

With this terrifying personal guard unit, all at the Peak Golden Immortal Realm and wielding Acquired Spirit Treasures, Lin Feng had officially established his footing in this Chaotic Star Sea.

Just then, the Fugui emerged from who knows where.

It was holding something golden in its mouth, running to Lin Feng like it was offering a treasure, its tail wagging like a propeller.

"Squeak squeak!" (Boss, look at what this is! Good stuff!)

Lin Feng looked down and immediately became happy.

It was half of a golden pagoda body.

It was precisely the half of the exquisite pagoda that had been left over after the Fugui gnawed on it and it had been blasted away when the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King fled!

Although it had lost most of its spirituality, it was still based on an Innate Spirit Treasure, so it remained incredibly hard, and there was still a trace of Heavenly Dao aura remaining on it.

"Not bad, not bad, the Fugui has performed a meritorious service."

Lin Feng stroked the Fugui's head, took the half-pagoda, and looked at it, "Although it's a bit broken and looks like a broken bowl, it can still be repurposed."

He thought about it, then placed the half-pagoda upside down on the ground and bought a cushion made of top-grade immortal silkworm silk from the System store to lay inside.

"From now on, this will be your new dog house... oh no, mouse nest."

Lin Feng patted the Fugui, "Living in a nest made of an Innate Spirit Treasure, you are the first one in the Three Realms.

This kind of treatment is something only you can enjoy.

If the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King knew, he'd probably be so angry he'd spit out another two jin of blood."

The Fugui was overjoyed, drilling directly into the pagoda to roll around, squeaking wildly.

This was the very thing that used to suppress it, and now it had become its nest; the pleasure of this revenge was simply too satisfying!

"Squeak squeak!" (This hard bed is still the most comfortable!)

Lin Feng watched this scene, his mood excellent.

"Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, oh Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, your Lifebound Treasure has become my pet's nest.

Your son is here, sponging off my food and drink.

Your soldiers are here, digging mines for me."

"In this round, you've lost so much you don't even have your underpants left, right?"

"However, this is just the beginning."

Lin Feng turned around, looked into the distance, and his eyes gradually became deep.

"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself.

Relying on equipment and pets is fun, but when facing true top-tier powerhouses, like that quasi-saint level Jade Emperor, one still has to rely on one's own fists."

"It is time to go into secluded cultivation and Breakthrough to that Realm."
