Chapter 2797: Xuan’er’s Guidance

However, now he cannot openly confront the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult, as the Sect is still under construction and it’s not suitable to make enemies. Moreover, the power of the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult is immense, with so many followers spread throughout the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. Open confrontation would truly be disadvantageous, so he must devise a clever strategy; this matter is indeed quite tricky.

"Hmm, I understand. Let me think about it, I will handle it." Lin Feng feels it’s time to return to Lin City for a look, and he can’t let Tao Tao, Lingling, and Si Hong continue to face these situations alone.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Gu Tianhai felt relieved. This matter has been troubling him recently. Were it not for being occupied with the Sect, he would have already returned to the Holy Pill Pavilion, as the Pavilion is also his heartfelt effort.

"Boss! The Myriad Heavens Divine Cult is too much, they shouldn’t be indulged." Ma Biaohu said indignantly, "I can go with you straight to their main cult and wipe them out completely!"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Feng felt much better, even though his mood had been heavy. Apparently, Ma Biaohu’s nature could indeed alleviate his worries. Looking at Ma Biaohu, Lin Feng said, "Hmm, when the time comes, you won’t even need me; you’ll be enough on your own, you’re so great."

Ma Biaohu rubbed his head, feeling that Lin Feng’s words seemed more like sarcasm than praise. He smiled sheepishly and then voiced a long-held question in his heart: "Boss, can you take me with you when you return to Lin City?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng could easily understand Ma Biaohu’s thoughts. Subsequently, he said, "No, the Sect’s matters can’t proceed without you. Bear with it a little longer; at most a year, and I’ll arrange for you to marry Miss Peng."

He has always felt quite sorry for Ma Biaohu. Ever since the Patriarch Peng agreed to their marriage, Ma Biaohu has been busy, and it has been several years since he last saw Miss Peng. He once promised Ma Biaohu that the day of the Sect’s establishment would prioritize their marriage, and he hasn’t forgotten this.

Since Lin Feng said this, Ma Biaohu had no choice but to acquiesce. He felt somewhat disappointed but, thinking about how the marriage plan had been put on schedule, he became happier. Then he said to Lin Feng, "Thank you, Boss. I’ll go get busy now."

"Hmm, go ahead." Lin Feng smiled helplessly. He thinks Ma Biaohu’s nature is simply direct, showing his mood readily, which is quite fine, as it doesn’t involve any scheming.

"Young Master, when are you planning to return to the Holy Pill Pavilion?" Gu Tianhai poured a cup of tea for Lin Feng, then asked. Although people in the Holy Pill Pavilion aren’t in danger, the Pavilion’s income can’t wait, so it’s naturally better sooner rather than later.

After some thought, Lin Feng said, "Tomorrow, I have matters to discuss with the strategist. I originally planned to stay longer in the Sect, as I have lots to do next and might not be able to return for a while. But given this situation, I need to quickly visit the Holy Pill Pavilion. As for the construction of the Sect, don’t rush it too much; complete it within a year and a half. Leave the ordinary formations to Master Yuan, and upon my return, I’ll discuss the Sect Grand Formation with him."

Gu Tianhai nodded, then asked, "Young Master, what are your plans for the coming period? Where have you been this past year?"

"I went to the West and gained a lot, it’s hard to explain in brief. Next, I plan to retrace the path I took when I ascended to the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm." Lin Feng said calmly, intending to accumulate Force of Merit. Along the way, there are many people needing help in the towns he passes, and he also wants to uncover the origin of his ascension and secrets of his destiny.

"Alright, be careful then." Gu Tianhai did not ask why, knowing Lin Feng must have his reasons. Moreover, the Young Master’s power has reached an unimaginable level, so there’s no need for concern wherever he goes.

"By the way, what have you arranged Madam Xing to do?" Lin Feng suddenly recalled matters concerning Madam Xing. Observing her personality, she’s not someone easily controlled, and he wonders if she’s finding it boring within the Sect.

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianhai unexpectedly laughed and said, "Don’t mention it; Madam Xing is truly a lively character. She’s driving Ma Biaohu almost crazy. However, among Ascenders, her power is relatively strong, so when other Ascenders are cultivating, she often provides them guidance, bringing quite a bit of enjoyment to the Sect."

Upon hearing Gu Tianhai’s description, Lin Feng felt at ease. He was initially worried Madam Xing would struggle with the transition from her luxurious life to the Sect’s environment, but it seems he underestimated her. Then he turned to Gu Tianhai and said, "Any difficulties with funding?"

"No issues for now." Gu Tianhai replied.

Nodding slightly, Lin Feng said, "I originally found a massive metal mine in the West and planned to use this time for Artifact Refining for the Sect. Looks like it needs postponing. Have those Demon Beasts recently sent any heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"

"Occasionally, more in the past. They probably have collected nearly all the heavenly and earthly treasures nearby. As per your instructions, I’ve had Ma Biaohu provide them with elixirs for Demon Beasts. Now the warehouse at the mountain’s rear is full, and it should be sufficient for some time." Gu Tianhai replied.

After some thought, Lin Feng made a decision and then looked at Gu Tianhai, saying, "In a few days, when the Sect is nearing completion, arrange for Ma Biaohu to go to Lin City to bring Meng Jiao and Miss Peng to the Sect."

He decided this way because Meng Jiao could first refine a batch of elixirs for the sect, and Ma Biaohu’s longing for Miss Peng meant bringing her over early could bring a bit of joy to the lad.

"Yes, Young Master." Gu Tianhai noted it in his heart, then stood up and said, "I’ll go get busy now."

"Wait, if you have time, bring your wife and daughter over too." Lin Feng continued, knowing Gu Tianhai just hadn’t mentioned it. After all this time, how could Gu Tianhai not miss his wife and child? But as cultivators, they had to temporarily set aside matters of the heart. He thought of Tao Tao and the others, of Ding Wan’er in Rong City, and also of his parents, his gaze turning somber.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Gu Tianhai showed a rare smile and then said, "Thank you, Young Master."

Watching Gu Tianhai leave, Lin Feng felt it was time to find Han Xuan’er for a chat. After all, he hadn’t thought up a marvelous plan to deal with the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult, and wondered if the strategist could offer some help.

From afar, Lin Feng saw a figure in a black robe standing where they had parted ways earlier. He was puzzled—Han Xuan’er seemed to have been standing there all along without leaving. Did she know he would return?

"Sect Master." Han Xuan’er sensed Lin Feng’s footsteps and immediately turned to look at him. Her eyes, under the black mask, appeared especially bright, and her tone when speaking to Lin Feng was different from how she spoke to others.

"How did you know I would come back?" Lin Feng smiled softly and walked with Han Xuan’er towards the depths of the sect.

As they walked, Han Xuan’er laughed, her voice crisp and her laughter melodious, seemingly a sound only Lin Feng could hear in this world. She then said, "If I didn’t know you’d come back, would I still be fit to be your military advisor?"

"Alright, you win. I have something I need to discuss with you." Lin Feng and Han Xuan’er walked to a section of the still-unfinished corridor, found a place to sit down, and spoke directly.

"Go ahead." Looking at Lin Feng’s expression, Han Xuan’er knew this wasn’t an easy matter; otherwise, he wouldn’t come to her for help. However, she actually hoped Lin Feng would visit her often.

Lin Feng coughed lightly and said, "The matter is this..."

He recounted everything to Han Xuan’er, from Chang Chuang teasing Tao Tao, to him killing Chang Chuang, torturing Chang Tianjie, moving the Ascension Hall, and so on, including Murong Chuan’s identity and the actions taken against the Holy Pill Pavilion afterward. He hoped Han Xuan’er could analyze these events for him and come up with a solution.

It took Lin Feng a solid hour to finish speaking. During the time, Han Xuan’er never interrupted, quietly listening and silently keeping all the words in mind.

"Finished?" Han Xuan’er asked while looking at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded, sensing Han Xuan’er seemed confident, wondering if she had a good plan.

"Let me speak. You said the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult mainly targeted the Lin City Saint Elixir Pavilion, and the Lin City Saint Elixir Pavilion is also the largest in scale, right?" Han Xuan’er asked.

"Uh-huh." Lin Feng nodded again, unsure of what Han Xuan’er intended to say.

Han Xuan’er directly took off her mask, considering there was no one around and they were sitting with their backs to the corridor. Even if someone were there, they wouldn’t recognize her. She only removed the mask, leaving the hat on, a strand of hair by her face, blushing cheeks looking at Lin Feng, who was instantly stunned.

Seeing Lin Feng’s appearance, Han Xuan’er smiled and continued, "Then let’s temporarily close the Lin City Saint Elixir Pavilion. The Myriad Heavens Divine Cult is causing trouble for the Holy Pill Pavilion merely to force you out in the open. We can temporarily close until the sect is built; that way, they can’t cause trouble. Once the sect is complete, the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult will surely take the lead in causing trouble, and we can resolve everything together."

"Is such an approach feasible?" Lin Feng was somewhat doubtful, but what Han Xuan’er said wasn’t unreasonable. If things continued as they were, with the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult constantly making trouble, it wouldn’t be good for the Holy Pill Pavilion.

"Murong Chuan’s personality is such that he won’t allow resistance against him. We should comply, let him know we’ve conceded. If he sees the Holy Pill Pavilion closed, and you still won’t come out, maybe he’ll stop making trouble, considering it’s been so long, he’ll have to find a way out gracefully; otherwise, the entire Heaven God Realm will view the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult as a joke." Han Xuan’er said, looking at Lin Feng.

Hearing this explanation, Lin Feng finally understood Han Xuaner’s intention. It made sense indeed; he had driven the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult into disrepute before. Now if the Holy Pill Pavilion yielded and was forced to close, it would also be a way for Murong Chuan to regain some honor; maybe then he’d quiet down. But if the Holy Pill Pavilion closed, what would happen to the revenue? After all, the Holy Pill Pavilion’s finances are a primary source for the sect’s construction.
