"Go on, take them," Lin Feng said with a light smile as he saw the excitement on their faces.
"Hehe, then this old man will thank our grandson-in-law on behalf of the Ye Clan first."
Ye Zhong rubbed his hands together excitedly, and without further hesitation, stored all seven puppets into his storage ring.
Even setting aside their usefulness in withstanding Pill Lightning, these puppets were already excellent choices as guards.
"By the way, I happen to have a way to help you all rapidly increase your strength—possibly even break directly into the Dou Zun realm. But this matter is extremely serious and must never be spoken of outside this room."
As he said this, Lin Feng's expression grew solemn, his tone carrying a weight that immediately drew the attention of the three.
"Dou Zun?!"
Hearing such explosive words all of a sudden, the three members of the Ye Clan froze in shock. Their throats moved nervously before one of them blurted out, "Lin Feng, did I hear that right? You really have a way for the three of us to quickly reach the Dou Zun realm?"
They all knew that such a method—if it existed—was bound to come with terrifying side effects.
But if it could truly allow them to step into the realm of Dou Zun, they were willing to take the risk. After all, with their current talent and age, the chance of reaching Dou Zun in this lifetime was less than one in a thousand.
Lin Feng had already expected such a reaction. He nodded slightly and said calmly, "That's right."
"What kind of method is it?"
The Second Elder of the Ye Clan swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"I possess a secret technique. As long as I have the right materials, I can use it to reconstruct a physical body for a disembodied soul. The key point is—the higher the quality of the materials used during the reconstruction, the stronger the person's cultivation after revival."
Lin Feng paused for a moment before explaining slowly.
"There's actually such a secret technique in this world?!"
Hearing that, Ye Zhong's face filled with shock and disbelief, his voice trembling.
"Wait a second—you said 'for a disembodied soul'? But all of us are perfectly fine. You mean to say…"
The Third Elder, after a brief moment of stunned silence, suddenly understood what Lin Feng was implying and looked at him in horror.
"That's right," Lin Feng said flatly, meeting their eyes. "You'd have to commit suicide first. Then I'd use my secret technique to bring you back."
His expression remained calm as he spoke, as though he were discussing something completely ordinary.
This was a plan he had come up with recently.
After all, once he entered the Little Pill Tower, he wouldn't be able to stay at the Ye Clan every day. Xiao Yixian also had her own affairs to handle—she couldn't possibly stay here all the time just to guard the Ye Clan.
As for recruiting other Dou Zun experts... even though the Ye Clan had some connections left, their wealth and influence were far from enough to attract such figures. Hiring a Dou Zun to protect the clan was simply out of the question.
As for the Sky Demon Puppets, those weren't something he could afford to show off in large numbers either. At most, they could only be used as hidden trump cards—if word got out, other alchemists would definitely start coveting them.
So, after much thought, Lin Feng concluded that the best method was to have one of the Ye Clan's current Dou Zong experts willingly take their own life, after which he would use his secret technique to resurrect them.
The resurrected expert could then serve the Ye Clan as a guardian in secret. The Central Plains was vast, filled with hermits and hidden experts—no one would find it suspicious if such a powerhouse appeared out of nowhere.
As for the one who "died," they could simply announce that he had gone into seclusion. It wasn't unusual at all for a Dou Zong to disappear for ten or twenty years in closed-door cultivation. By that time, Lin Feng would either have already achieved greatness—or been long gone.
Either way, it wouldn't matter anymore.
"Grandson-in-law, isn't this a bit too risky?" Ye Zhong said gravely after a long silence. "Our Ye Clan is already in decline. We have fewer than ten Dou Zong left. If that secret technique were to fail, we wouldn't even know how many decades it would take to nurture another one."
Ye Zhong let out a light sigh, then voiced his concern.
"Hehe, that Tian Huo Zun Zhe you mentioned, he ended up as nothing but a remnant soul because of some accidents in the past. In the end, I used that secret art to bring him back to life. And now, my strength is far greater than it was back then, so the chance of failure this time is extremely low!"
Lin Feng chuckled, his tone filled with confidence.
Hearing this, a flash of light shot through the eyes of Ye Zhong and the other two. That Tian Huo Zun Zhe—when they met him before, they hadn't sensed anything strange at all. If that man was truly resurrected through such a secret art, then Lin Feng's proposal was indeed worth considering.
At this moment, the Third Elder suddenly spoke. "What materials does that secret art require, and are there any side effects?"
"For resurrection, at the very least you'll need the body of a Dou Zong-level cultivator, the blood essence of a Rank 7 magic beast, a peak seventh-tier pill—Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill—and a Heavenly Flame.
Of course, the strength after resurrection will depend entirely on the quality of those materials. If you want to reach the Dou Zun realm, at least one of those materials must be of the Rank 8, or you could use an eighth-tier Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill instead."
"As for the potential after resurrection, that depends on the quality of the body. Since the soul is fused into it by me just like refining a pill, even if you later find a better body, it will be difficult to replace it."
As he spoke, Lin Feng shared the experience he had gained from observing the Tian Huo Zun Zhe for so long.
After listening to Lin Feng's explanation, the Third Elder's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little. Those side effects were basically negligible for people whose potential wasn't that high to begin with.
But soon after, the Elder could only smile bitterly. "Our Ye Clan has fallen into decline. While it's not hard to get a Dou Zong's body, a Dou Zun corpse or an eighth-tier Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill… that's something we can't possibly acquire."
"That, you don't need to worry about. As for Dou Zun corpses, I happen to have a few."
As he said that, Lin Feng lightly brushed his finger across his storage ring.
A soft glow flashed, and in the next moment, several corpses appeared on the ground—Ouyang Jie, Ye Huaicheng the Grand Elder of Qing Mu Mansion, Qing Mu Mansion's Second Elder, a Five-Star Dou Zun that Ouyang Jie had invited, Dong Yan, the Sect Master of the Golden Body Sect, and the Sect Master of the Earth Gang Sect—seven Dou Zun corpses in total.
"???"
Seeing the bodies laid out before them, each still exuding faint traces of oppressive aura even in death, everyone from the Ye Clan was utterly stunned. They knew Lin Feng was powerful—but they never expected he had actually killed this many Dou Zun experts!
If any one of these people were still alive, they could have easily flattened the entire Ye Clan!
"All of these… are Dou Zun?"
Even though the evidence was right before his eyes, Ye Zhong still couldn't help but ask.
"That's right. The strongest among them was at the peak of Eight-Star Dou Zun, just one step away from Nine-Star Dou Zun. The weakest was still at the peak of One-Star Dou Zun. Take whichever one you like."
Lin Feng shrugged casually as he responded.
"Just one step away from Nine-Star Dou Zun…"
The few of them repeated in disbelief, their aged faces filled with shock and awe.
