Chapter 2799: Return to Spirit Butterfly Island

On the way back, Shen Yuan seemed to have something to say. Lin Feng noticed Shen Yuan’s thoughts and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"I think that only supplying the auction house with medicine is not a quick way to make a profit. We can switch from retail to wholesale. Since our alchemists are skilled and have a high success rate with superior elixirs, if we sell them at a low price to all the elixir shops in Lin City, we will earn more," Shen Yuan said, looking at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded. Shen Yuan was indeed smart—who would have thought that in the distant Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, someone would have modern business tactics. He then said to Shen Yuan, "You handle this matter."

He knew that Shen Yuan had hardly appeared in the Holy Pill Pavilion, so the people of Lin City wouldn’t recognize Shen Yuan. Previously, Shen Yuan wasn’t influential in the Shen family, so it was even less likely that people would know he was from that family. Shen Yuan was the most suitable to handle this, and besides, his suggestion made sense. The sect was in need of money, so they had to come up with solutions.

Back at the Holy Pill Pavilion, Lin Feng glanced at the accounts at the counter. He had never shown any interest in them, but recently, the business at the Lin City Saint Elixir Pavilion was indeed poor, so he was considering whether he could gather more Yuan Stones from elsewhere. He truly regretted that the Yuan Stone mine had been entirely consumed by Tangyuan—otherwise, the mining would have generated substantial income.

Lin Feng looked down and saw Xinyue recording the accounts, nodding in satisfaction. Rescuing Xinyue back then seemed to have been the right decision. This girl had a knack for business, with every piece of income clearly accounted for, followed by detailed notes. If there’s a chance, Xinyue should definitely learn from Han Xuan’er.

"Big brother, if the Saint Elixir Pavilion closes, what should I do?" Xinyue asked Lin Feng. She had always wanted to repay Lin Feng, so she silently contributed to the Saint Elixir Pavilion.

"You don’t have to do much. When the time comes, you and Sister Lingling can just settle the accounts at the auction house. Meanwhile, you can learn martial arts with Tao Tao to protect yourself," Lin Feng said, patting Xinyue’s head. If the sect is established, he planned for Xinyue to fully manage the Saint Elixir Pavilion in all the cities as he considered her trustworthy, while Gu Tianhai had many important tasks to handle.

"Got it," Xinyue said with a smile, looking at Lin Feng.

Unbeknownst to him, night had fallen. Lin Feng sat in the backyard of the Holy Pill Pavilion, gazing at the moon, drinking alone. This journey westward had given him a lot, but he also realized his shortcomings. In the coming days, he needed to accumulate the Force of Merit, meaning there was still a long road ahead. Suddenly, slow footsteps approached, and Si Hong sat down beside him.

"Feng, do you have something on your mind? Want to talk about it?" Si Hong asked gently, looking at Lin Feng, feeling that he had become more silent since his return. Although she couldn’t help much, she hoped to relieve his worries.

"It’s nothing," Lin Feng replied with a faint smile, holding Si Hong’s hand. He realized that Si Hong was remarkably similar to Ding Wan’er in many ways and understood him well. He had always felt guilty towards Si Hong, who had followed him faithfully without complaint. He genuinely wanted to make it up to her, then revealed his long-decided plan: "Tomorrow, I’ll take you back to Spirit Butterfly Island."

"What! Really?" Si Hong instantly became excited upon hearing this, not expecting such a surprise from Lin Feng. She then said, "Feng, thank you."

Since following Lin Feng, she hadn’t seen her father for years. She had never been away from Spirit Butterfly Island for so long, and returning to visit would be wonderful. Lin Feng felt much better seeing Si Hong so happy. He knew she had long wanted to return, a longing that was her deepest wish and planned to take her along on this outing. After all, Si Hong was the young lady, and she hadn’t had much opportunity to explore outside Spirit Butterfly Island before.

"Do you want to travel with me?" Lin Feng asked Si Hong, gazing at her.

"Of course I do!" Si Hong looked at Lin Feng with bright, expectant eyes.

"Then I’ll take you."

"Feng, where did you go before returning this time?"

"The west."

"What’s the west like? I’ve never heard of it."

"You definitely don’t want to know, nor do you want to go."

...

Si Hong leaned against Lin Feng’s shoulder, and they continued chatting, forgetting the time, both cherishing their moments together. Lin Feng felt incredibly fortunate to have met so many wonderful women willing to wait for him in this life.

Early the next day, Lin Feng found the Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon and the Nether Thunder Heaven Devouring Tiger. Seeing Lin Feng return, both were very excited and asked, "Boss, when did you get back?"

"I’ll be leaving shortly. I came to ask you two to paste a closed sign at the entrance of the Holy Pill Pavilion, then activate the formation and take good care of Tao Tao and Ling Ling," Lin Feng instructed directly.

The two were puzzled but considered it their duty to follow their boss’s instructions, so they nodded and asked, "When can we go to the sect?"

"The sect is almost completed. You’ll be able to go then. Meanwhile, focus on your cultivation here and advance to Demon Emperor as soon as possible." Lin Feng sensed the two had grown significantly stronger compared to before, indicating their cultivation had improved greatly during this time.

"Understood, Boss," both replied in unison and then went out to follow Lin Feng’s instructions to post the notice at the Saint Elixir Pavilion’s entrance.

"What’s going on here?"

"Why has it shut down!"

"Don’t you know? Offending the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult is not wise. Closing the doors would be the least of their concerns."

...

Seeing the closure notice at the Saint Elixir Pavilion, passersby stopped and discussed. Many thought it was inevitable for the Saint Elixir Pavilion to suffer consequences after provoking the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult. Some found it strange, some regrettable, and others merely watched the spectacle from afar. However, all agreed that the Saint Elixir Pavilion’s closure was a huge loss for Lin City, as its Flawless Quality Elixirs were unmatched, and prices were fair. They shook their heads and walked away upon seeing the pavilion’s fate.

After bidding farewell to Tao Tao and Ling Ling, Lin Feng directly placed Si Hong into the Cave Heaven Mansion and transported them to Spirit Butterfly Island.

Upon reaching Spirit Butterfly Island, surrounded by picturesque scenery, Lin Feng’s mood lifted as if all his worries had vanished. He released Si Hong, Xiao Jiu, and Tangyuan, and the two humans and two beasts strolled towards the island’s center.

Crossing a long bridge and passing through flower clusters, Si Hong lingered over the scenery she had known since childhood. She hadn’t been back for so long, all the while introducing the surroundings to Xiao Jiu. Tangyuan and Lin Feng had visited Spirit Butterfly Island before, but Xiao Jiu curiously glanced around.

Suddenly, a radiant seven-colored light descended from the sky, and the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable appeared before them: "My beloved daughter has returned!"

The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable was nearly moved to tears upon seeing his daughter. He had missed Si Hong deeply. Despite his daughter being married, how could he keep her by his side now?

"Father!" Si Hong rushed forward to hug her father. She had never been away from the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable for so long and said coquettishly, "I missed you."

"Father-in-law," Lin Feng greeted the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable respectfully with a bow.

The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable nodded at Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng had not returned since leaving, the Venerable kept an eye on his daughter and Lin Feng. Dark Star had also been secretly protecting his daughter. The entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm knew Lin Feng’s strength rivaled that of a Divine Emperor. How could he not be aware?

However, today’s meeting made him feel Lin Feng had changed, though not possessing the aura of a cultivator; he noticed a fundamental difference. He patted Lin Feng’s shoulder and said, "Let’s go in and chat."

The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable led them to a newly built garden on the island, where tables and chairs floated in mid-air, and even the flowers hovered. This surprised Si Hong greatly. Since when had her father become so romantic? She then asked with a smile, "Father, did you build this garden?"

"Ah, your Auntie Xiao Qi likes it, so I made one for her," the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable replied with a bashful smile. He feared his daughter the most. However, hadn’t she allowed him to be with Xiao Qi before leaving?

Si Hong responded with a sweet smile, "Where is Auntie Xiao Qi? I haven’t seen her."

"She’s preparing dinner. With my son-in-law here, I have to drink well with him," the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable said, looking at Lin Feng. Indeed, his judgment hadn’t failed him; Lin Feng was truly extraordinary. In just a few years, he reached the strength of a Divine Emperor, which surprised him greatly. He had also heard about the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult incident and asked Lin Feng, "Did something troubling happen?"

He suspected Lin Feng and Si Hong’s visit might be due to some request, but it could also be that his daughter simply missed him. After all, he had spoiled her from a young age. However, this time, he noticed she had changed quite a bit, making him very content. It seemed his daughter was genuinely happy with Lin Feng.

"No, Si Hong simply wanted to see you and especially came to visit," Lin Feng replied. He didn’t wish to involve the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable in the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult issue, knowing he preferred to remain out of sectarian disputes, living in seclusion here. It was better to keep such matters from him.

"That’s good, that’s good." The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable laughed softly.

"Father-in-law, as mentioned before, the Ascenders’ Sect is under construction," Lin Feng informed the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, feeling it necessary to keep him informed. After all, his daughter was now with him, and as a member of the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult, the Venerable would have his own stance.
