"Master has just entered. Shall I assist him in cleaning up first?"
After a moment of internal struggle, Qing Lin's delicate white hand picked up a nearby handkerchief. Subsequently, with gentle movements, she began wiping Chen Feng's arms and chest.
Being tenderly attended to by Qing Lin's small hands, Chen Feng felt extremely comfortable. When he opened his eyes, he noticed Qing Lin's little face was already blushing.
Evidently, it wasn't caused by the steam rising from the tub, as Qing Lin's peculiar constitution occasionally emitted a chilling aura, making her hands feel cool even when touched by warm water.
"Is the pressure okay, Master?"
Sensing that Chen Feng had opened his eyes, Qing Lin's face became even redder, and her actions became somewhat awkward.
"The pressure is just right!"
Chen Feng nodded lightly. Qing Lin's service just now was indeed very thoughtful.
Upon close observation, Chen Feng discovered that Qing Lin's petite figure possessed a unique charm.
Every part of her body was appropriately full or slender. When she bent down to wipe, it seemed elusive, arousing a faint flame in Chen Feng's heart.
"Master, I'll now help you wash your legs!"
Qing Lin said softly, then bent down and reached her small hand into the water.
Because the tub had a dark color, the view inside was somewhat blurred. Qing Lin's small hand groped slowly.
The next moment, Qing Lin seemed to touch something, and her body instantly stiffened. Quickly retracting her hand, she avoided making eye contact with Chen Feng.
Meanwhile, Qing Lin's clothes had already been soaked, clinging tightly to her skin, revealing enticing contours and curves.
"Qing Lin, come in and help me wash!"
Chen Feng, restrained by the desire ignited by Qing Lin's touch, pulled her into the tub.
"Ah!"
Being pulled into the water by Chen Feng, Qing Lin instinctively cried out. However, when her eyes met Chen Feng's, she quieted down, and her petite heart raced.
"Master, shall I start washing you now..."
Shy words came from Qing Lin's mouth. After that, an unusual icy feeling spread through Chen Feng's...
After a long time, Chen Feng emerged from the tub, carrying Qing Lin to the bed.
...
In this enchanting melody, the night retreated, and Stone Desert City once again welcomed the blazing sun.
"Master, you're awake!"
As soon as Chen Feng opened his eyes, he saw Qing Lin's charming figure holding a small basin by the bedside. She wore a bright smile on her face, but within that radiant smile lingered a trace of charming blush.
Looking at the obedient Qing Lin, Chen Feng's gaze was tender, mixed with a hint of concern.
In the next moment, Chen Feng sat up from the bed, caressing Qing Lin's face. He spoke gently,
"Qing Lin, why don't you rest a bit more!"
In Chen Feng's eyes, Qing Lin was already more than a common maid after last night. She hadn't practiced cultivation, and after the intense... she must be physically exhausted.
"Master, I'm not tired. Let me help you freshen up!"
Qing Lin placed the basin on a wooden rack, wrung the towel dry, and then gently wiped Chen Feng's face.
"Ah!"
Qing Lin's movements were meticulous. After being taken care of, Chen Feng felt refreshed, taking in a deep breath of fresh air.
"Qing Lin, do you want to cultivate?"
Chen Feng turned to look at Qing Lin, speaking softly.
"Master, I do!"
Without hesitation, Qing Lin nodded. After what happened last night, her feelings for Chen Feng had surpassed the bounds of master and servant.
Chen Feng's formidable cultivation and esteemed status made her aspire to catch up with him.
"Good, let me teach you some breathing techniques..."
Chen Feng smiled and nodded. He guided Qing Lin to practice, but since she hadn't reached the level of a Dao Qi Practitioner, she couldn't perceive internally or cultivate techniques.
Therefore, Chen Feng could only use some high-quality elixirs to lay the foundation and accelerate her cultivation.
The azure lotus taken from the lava now fully demonstrated its effectiveness. Qing Lin's speed of cultivation on it far exceeded that of an ordinary person.
After Qing Lin embarked on the path of cultivation, Chen Feng also spent some time refining his cultivation.
He had already reached the level of an Eight-Star Dao Ling since coming to the desert, approaching the level of a Dao Wang.
Despite the terrifying speed of his cultivation, Chen Feng was not satisfied. The crisis brought about by imprisoning Xiao Xun'er had not been resolved.
In a little over half a year, powerful figures from the Gu Clan might descend upon Wutan City. With Chen Feng's current strength, he couldn't deal with a Dao Zun, let alone the entire Gu Clan.
Although doubling or tripling the cultivation speed wouldn't make much of a difference, Chen Feng couldn't afford to sit idly.
When Nalan Yanran gave birth to his child, he needed the strength to digest the rewards from the system.
In the next moment, Chen Feng took out a jade bottle and extracted a piece of Earth Fire Lotus.
Unlike the brutal and fiery aura of the Earth fire's core, the majority of the Earth Fire Lotus contained pure and refined energy. Absorbing it would be much simpler for Chen Feng.
As the Earth Fire Lotus entered his mouth, it swiftly transformed into a surging heat. It then rampaged down his throat, forcefully colliding with his meridians.
Chen Feng's consciousness swiftly entered his body, finding that although the fiery energy from the Earth Fire Lotus was terrifying, his meridians had not suffered much damage along the way.
Clearly, Chen Feng's advanced Dao Ling cultivation and the Dragon Elephant Body Forging Technique allowed him to withstand the violent impact of this energy.
The meridians showed tiny droplets, akin to jade, and small enough to be thumb-sized, left behind wherever the scorching energy passed.
These droplets adhered to the meridian walls, pulsating like living organisms. Eventually, at a visible speed, they merged into a faint green liquid.
Chen Feng knew that these seemingly simple emerald liquids contained the essence of the Earth Fire Lotus.
Immediately, he activated the Swallowing Yuan Technique, and the Swallowing Yuan energy in his meridians extracted the energy from the emerald liquid, sending it into the vortex.
The devouring speed was extremely fast, resembling a whale's swallowing. The pure energy transformed by the Earth Fire Lotus rapidly elevated Chen Feng's cultivation.
Inadvertently, a strange sound emanated from Chen Feng's body.
Following that, his cultivation broke through the bottleneck of an Eight-Star Dao Ling, reaching the level of a Nine-Star Dao Ling.
"What's happening? Why did the aura inside suddenly become so strong!"
"Surely, that esteemed individual is cultivating. Remember, absolutely do not disturb!"
The change in Chen Feng's aura astonished those waiting outside the room.
Before long, City Lord Xu Guang, informed by his subordinates, arrived and stood a hundred meters away from Chen Feng's room, observing.
"The aura of this esteemed individual has become much stronger than before. It seems he has made another breakthrough!"
Xu Guang's eyes revealed a touch of envy. Such cultivation speed as Chen Feng's was something many envied
...
Shortly after, inside the room where Chen Feng was meditating, his cultivation had reached the bottleneck of a Dao Ling.
However, the remaining energy from the Earth Fire Lotus was clearly not sufficient for him to break through to the Dao Ling and reach the realm of a Dao Wang.
"If I consume another one, I might directly break through to a Dao Wang!"
However, Chen Feng hesitated. Breaking through in quick succession might lead to unstable foundations. Instead, he pondered the best time to advance.
Chen Feng contemplated in his heart, then once again took out a jade bottle and swallowed a Earth Fire Lotus seed inside.
Instantly, the jade-green liquid inside Chen Feng's body was replenished, and the Swallowing Yuan Decision crazily operated to absorb it.
This situation continued for two days and two nights. When the third day dawned, the aura in Chen Feng's room reached an unprecedented peak.
The imposing aura even made Xu Guang, the City Lord of Stone Desert City, who was a hundred meters away, feel somewhat oppressed.
"This terrifying aura... Could that esteemed individual have already broken through to Dao Wang?"
Sensing the immense aura emanating from the room, Xu Guang's face was filled with shock.
"Such a young Dao Wang powerhouse, I wonder who this monstrous talent is. Does the Jia Ma Empire have such a figure?"
At this moment, tens of miles outside Stone Desert City, a purple figure in the sky looked towards the direction of Stone Desert City, frowning slightly.
"What is this... Someone is breaking through to Dao Wang?"
The next moment, the purple figure in the sky directly flashed towards the direction of Stone Desert City.
In the room, Chen Feng experienced two days and two nights of cultivation, finally coming to a stop.
"Phew!"
He lightly exhaled, feeling the changes in his cultivation, a sense of satisfaction filling his heart.
At this moment, Chen Feng, compared to two days ago, had an aura several times stronger.
In these two days, in order to break through to Dao Wang, he once again swallowed two Earth Fire Lotus seeds, adding to the initial two, making it a total of four Earth Fire Lotus seeds.
Relying on the Swallowing Yuan Decision's overbearing absorption ability, Chen Feng overcame most of the resistance his body had to absorbing the Earth Fire Lotus seeds, forcefully breaking through to Dao Wang.
Now at the Dao Wang level, the Dao Qi in Chen Feng's body no longer gathered in a vortex but was stored all over his body.
With just a thought, surges of vigorous Dao Qi would gush out from various parts of his body like a mighty river.
The next moment, Chen Feng's shoulders trembled slightly. Immediately, Dao Qi surged out from his body, flowing along a peculiar meridian route, finally bursting out from his back.
"Pong!"
Silver Dao Qi wings shot out vigorously from behind him, with an arc of more than ten feet in length, radiating a splendid glow.
"Dao Qi Wing."
Slightly tilting his head, Chen Feng looked at the silver wings behind him. At this moment, he didn't use the Thunderbolt Wings, nor did he rely on any other power.
Instead, he completely relied on himself to display the Dao Qi Wings, a distinctive sign of a Dao Wang powerhouse.
"Young Master Chen Feng, congratulations on advancing your cultivation once again!"
As Chen Feng displayed the Dao Qi Wing, Qing Lin walked over with a smile. She had been waiting in this spacious room for the past two days.
"Qing Lin, not bad yourself. In two or three days, your Dao Qi has also improved significantly!"
Chen Feng stood up, caressing Qing Lin's cheek. He spoke softly, and reaching Dao Wang, his overall mood was excellent.
Just as Chen Feng touched Qing Lin's cheek, a strange expression suddenly appeared on her cute face.
"What's wrong?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.
"Young Master, I sense a powerful aura rapidly approaching Stone Desert City. This aura is very similar to my bloodline, and its strength seems to be slightly weaker than Ling You!" Qing Lin spoke softly.
"Similar to your bloodline, slightly weaker than Ling You..."
"Could it be Queen Medusa!"
Muttering Qing Lin's words in his heart, Chen Feng immediately thought of a possibility.
"If it's really Queen Medusa, then I don't need to go deep into the desert to find her!"
Confirming in his mind that it was Queen Medusa rushing over after sensing the fluctuations from his breakthrough, Chen Feng not only didn't panic but felt a bit excited. He had long looked forward to the reputation of Queen Medusa.
"Qing Lin, you stay here later, don't go anywhere!"
Chen Feng quickly instructed Qing Lin. According to his guess, Queen Medusa probably sensed the trace of the Ancient Divine Flame when he dug the passage earlier.
The breakthrough just now likely brought about some peculiar fluctuations, attracting her to this place.
"Alright! I'll listen to Young Master!"
Without hesitation, Qing Lin nodded.
On Chen Feng's side, he quickly walked out of the room and removed the restrictions on the Soul Banner.
In the desert, the purple figure that had sensed Chen Feng's breakthrough earlier had already arrived in the sky just a mile outside the east gate of Stone Desert City.
When she was about to enter the city directly to search, she suddenly discovered a silver figure flying out from a certain direction in the city.
"To actually detect my arrival in advance, it seems this human is not simple. The aura I sensed before, related to the Ancient Flame, might be connected to him..."
Seeing the silver figure rapidly flying out of the city, a strange smile appeared on the beautiful face of the purple figure. Then, she quickly followed.
"Yao Chen, did she follow?"
The silver figure flying out of Stone Desert City was naturally Chen Feng.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Yao Chen respectfully replied, "Master, she followed us. At the current speed she's maintaining, she should be able to catch up in less than ten minutes!"
