Chapter 2842 Cunningly Seizing the Yuan Eye

"What are you trying to do?" Hearing Lin Feng suddenly say that, Wan Hai was very curious. He had found that place by chance himself, because he had calculated when he would meet Lin Feng, so before that he had to help Lin Feng find a place suitable for his Cultivation. As for this question Lin Feng asked, he really didn’t know how to answer.

"Here’s the thing, I want to move the Yuan Spirit back to the Sect and specially build a Promotion Hall to provide faster Cultivation for the Ascenders. With a Yuan Spirit, you know how fast the improvement will be." Lin Feng had already had this idea when he was chatting with the Ascenders earlier. He thought of the Yuan Spirit he encountered in the Western Wasteland, but the Yuan Spirit there supported the Yuan Energy flow of the entire West, so he couldn’t take it away. However, he remembered the Eyes of Myriad Spring that Wan Hai had taken him to before. He felt that beyond those eight springs there had to be more than one Yuan Spirit. If he moved one away it shouldn’t cause any noticeable impact.

Wan Hai felt that Lin Feng’s idea was really too crazy, but the Lin Feng he knew had always been like this, so he wasn’t too surprised. After pondering for a while, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Why don’t you just go back and take another look? Though... that place really is quite far."

Hearing Wan Hai say that, Lin Feng revealed a faintly meaningful smile, then directly took out a Teleportation Disk from his Space Ring and said, "Can’t we go faster using this?"

"You brat are really sly. When did you set up a Teleportation Formation there? I didn’t even know." Wan Hai shot Lin Feng a look. He hadn’t expected this kid to be so smart, actually thinking to set up a Teleportation Formation there. Looked like Lin Feng had planned this for a long time.

Lin Feng smiled faintly and didn’t bother with Wan Hai. He stepped onto the Teleportation Disk, turned into a streak of white light, and disappeared.

Returning to the Eyes of Myriad Spring once again, Lin Feng was instantly bathed in the baptism of the surging Yuan Energy flows. But right now he simply didn’t have time to raise his strength again, and he felt his body had already reached a peak point; further Cultivation wouldn’t benefit him. To save time, he started circling around the eight springs, observing. Then he sent out his Divine Sense and discovered that beneath the eight springs there were indeed four gigantic blue Crystal Stones like Yuan Spirits. The four crystals occupied four directions, continuously injecting Yuan Energy into the springs. One could feel the powerful Yuan Energy currents surging through the entire area.

Thinking of this, he summoned the Golden Yuan Gang within his body. In an instant, the surrounding Yuan Energy surged like a mountain flood and tsunami, and in the blink of an eye condensed into a golden Yuan Energy vortex a hundred zhang tall, with layers of Yuan Energy tidal waves rolling on its surface, showing just how abundant the Yuan Energy in this region was.

Lin Feng controlled the Yuan Energy vortex to spin downward toward the ground, and before long it had drilled open a hole more than ten zhang across. After putting away the Golden Yuan Gang vortex, he directly flew down. Circling the four Yuan Spirits, he flew several laps around them and realized these shouldn’t really be called Yuan Spirits, because they didn’t have Spiritual Energy, but were merely ores that generated Yuan Energy. However, if he brought such an ore back, it would be enough to support the Cultivation of the Sect’s Ascenders.

Looking at the Yuan Stone Mine before him, he suddenly remembered the gigantic Yuan Stone Mine that Tangyuan had gnawed on before. Just thinking about it now made him feel painfully regretful. He then closed his eyes and spread his Divine Sense out. Instantly, his Divine Sense covered the entire Eyes of Myriad Spring. He slowly contracted his Divine Sense, finally fixing it around one of the Yuan Stone Mines, wrapping it inside. Before long, his Divine Sense had formed a transparent Barrier around it, which he directly tossed into his Space Ring.

With his current strength, collecting such a Yuan Stone Mine was really far too easy. Although in this it was a bit inferior to a Yuan Spirit, under such a Yuan Energy environment it was enough for people of the Sect to ascend to Divine Venerable.

Returning to the Sect again, Lin Feng didn’t go to see anyone. He came to the side hall in front of the Alchemy Room and Refining Room. Previously, Lin Feng hadn’t decided what to use this side hall for, but now it finally had its purpose. He first set up an Isolating Formation outside the more-than-hundred-zhang-long side hall, because the smaller the area where the Yuan Stone Mine released Yuan Energy, the more concentrated the Yuan Energy would be, and the better the Cultivation effect.

Before long, a transparent Isolating Formation wrapped the entire interior of the side hall. Then Lin Feng suspended the Yuan Stone Mine from his Space Ring in the middle of the great hall. In an instant, the whole side hall was struck by waves of blue energy, as if the hall had been covered with a thin layer of blue mist.

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. Cultivating in such an environment would definitely speed up progress severalfold, and with Elixirs and his assistance added, it should push some Ascenders who were about to reach Divine Venerable through their bottlenecks. In fact, he didn’t really want everyone to be so eager for quick success—after all, Cultivation has no shortcuts—but in these extraordinary times, he had no choice.

He then left the side hall and headed straight for the Sect’s main hall. He wanted to gather all the Ascenders there and also see exactly what level everyone’s strength had reached. Just as he was walking forward, a black figure appeared, blocking Lin Feng’s path.

A hoarse voice came, "Sect Master, talk for a bit?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly and nodded at Han Xuan’er, then followed her toward the corridor where the two of them often chatted.

After they sat down, Han Xuan’er removed her mask, looked at Lin Feng, and said, "Looks like Sect Master doesn’t have anything he wants to instruct me to do anymore?"

Han Xuan’er looked at Lin Feng somewhat reproachfully. She had heard that Lin Feng had been back for several days, yet she’d never seen any trace of him. Previously, whenever Lin Feng returned to the Sect, he would find her if he had anything to discuss. This time, with the Sect basically fully built, it seemed she was no longer needed.

"Haha, I really have been a bit busy." Lin Feng said with an apologetic smile. He knew Han Xuan’er wasn’t truly angry with him. When he came back, he had thought about going to chat with her—after all, after Gu Tianhai fell ill, Han Xuan’er had been the one working the hardest—but this time he really did have a lot on his plate.

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Han Xuan’er no longer stayed angry. As someone in charge of military affairs, she wasn’t really in a position to speak to Lin Feng that way either. Then she looked at Lin Feng and said, "I just have something to tell you. Shaweng’s daughter has woken up—do you want to go see her?"

"Oh? I’ll find time to go see her. By the way, why do you keep going to see Wan Hai?" Lin Feng suddenly changed the subject and looked at Han Xuan’er as he asked. He knew Han Xuan’er had already seen through Wan Hai’s identity, but he didn’t understand why she didn’t just say it outright.

"I just saw that he’s new here, so I pay him a bit more attention. He’s very much like an old friend of mine, that’s all." Han Xuan’er met Lin Feng’s eyes and spoke gently.

Lin Feng smiled. Talking with smart people was really interesting. Everything they said had hidden meanings, but neither of them needed to spell anything out—just understanding in their hearts was enough. Then Lin Feng said, "There’s something very important in the Sect that I want to entrust to you."

"What is it?" Han Xuan’er stared at Lin Feng with watery eyes, asking curiously.

"All of the Sect’s income and expenditure will be handed over to you, and all the accounts of the Holy Pill Pavilion, the auction house, and Qiuyi Workshop will also be managed by you. As for other development directions, you’ll have full authority to decide. Find some time to do a handover with Gu Tianhai." Lin Feng looked seriously at Han Xuan’er and spoke each word clearly.

Hearing this, Han Xuan’er was instantly stunned on the spot. She knew just how enormous a power this was—the Sect’s economic lifeline would be in her hands. This meant Lin Feng trusted her completely. Such a heavy responsibility being placed on her was something she had never expected, especially given that she hadn’t been in the Sect for very long. She really didn’t know why Lin Feng was doing this.

Seeing Han Xuan’er’s expression, Lin Feng smiled faintly and continued, "You don’t need to feel this way. I’m doing it for the Sect’s sake. I know your talent in business, and I believe you can make the Sect even more Huihuang. Don’t let me down."

The reason he handed the Sect’s lifeline to Han Xuan’er was, first, because he trusted her character, and he also trusted Geomancer Qianjue’s eye for judging people. He’d seen Han Xuan’er’s mind and business methods clearly; she was the best candidate for this position. Moreover, Gu Tianhai’s health was poor to begin with—he didn’t want Gu Tianhai to bear such a heavy burden. With Gu Tianhai in charge of external matters and Han Xuan’er managing internal affairs, he had found people he could trust for both. Wasn’t that perfect?

After listening to Lin Feng, Han Xuan’er put her mask back on and left the corridor alone. A moment later her voice floated back, "When have I ever disappointed you!"

Watching Han Xuan’er’s departing figure, a smile appeared on Lin Feng’s face. Thinking that there was basically nothing urgent left to worry about, he stepped onto the Teleportation Disk in one stride and transported directly to the Star River Tunnel. He saw that people here were still repairing this shabby Teleportation Formation, but after such a long time, the Formation basically looked like its original self again. It seemed these craftsmen really were talented.

Lin Feng found Puba, who was currently directing the work, and went straight to the point: "How’s it going? How long until it’s fully repaired?"

Puba was very excited to see Lin Feng, took out the translator, and began translating Lin Feng’s voice, answering, "Almost, almost done. You came at just the right time. We’ve already done tests before—as long as we tune this tunnel’s fixed point to the coordinates of Domlir Planet, it should be foolproof."

He was still thinking about saying goodbye to Lin Feng. If he could return to his planet, that would be wonderful. And part of their clansmen were still inside Lin Feng’s Cave Heaven Mansion—he couldn’t just abandon those people. Thinking that they were about to go home, his heart was incomparably excited.

Hearing this good news, Lin Feng was happy for them as well. Then he moved out the Dwarfs in the Cave Heaven Mansion who were currently forging weapons for him. He had previously gone into the Cave Heaven Mansion to look at their masterpieces. Although only a few years had passed, the Technological Dwarfs had produced weapons more advanced than any he’d seen on Earth. He could well imagine that once such weapons appeared in the Sect, they would definitely astonish the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm.
