Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1500 - 1498 Confession

"The reason is simple. Suddenly, there are many people like you appearing in various coastal cities. I want to find out why this is happening, so I chose you. As for why I’m hiding my strength, it’s simple; I want to find out what’s going on with those black-clad figures. I can’t expose myself, lest I alarm them." Lin Feng replied calmly. It was all straightforward from the beginning, and now it’s good to lay it out for Xue Dakun directly to avoid problems in the future.

It was only at this moment that Xue Dakun understood what was really going on. Thinking of Lin Feng investigating the black-clad figures while staying close, thinking about the events of these recent days, and the death of Zheng Feng, everything became clear in his mind. Those black-clad figures must have some special purpose in nurturing them, and they weren’t trying to do them any good. If they really had their best interests at heart, Qi Shan, Qi Shui, and Zheng Feng wouldn’t have turned out like that. Having power but acting like beasts only knowing how to kill—what’s the use of such power!

Thinking about this, Xue Dakun’s face turned pale. He never imagined there was such a big conspiracy behind it all. Before, he thought the black-clad figures intended to help them, but now he realized it’s not that simple at all. Luckily, Lin Feng stayed clear-headed by his side. Otherwise, he might have long lost himself. He’s really afraid he might become as inhumane as Zheng Feng.

"Boss, will I become like Zheng Feng?" Xue Dakun asked nervously. If he were to become like Zheng Feng, he’d rather die himself.

"No need to be so nervous. They all consumed a lot of Nurturing Soul Pill and practiced the Immortal Soul Nine Transformations, leading them to be overwhelmed by Evil Qi. You haven’t done any of that, so there’s nothing to worry about." Lin Feng heard Xue Dakun’s words and replied with a calm smile, offering a simple explanation. If he hadn’t stopped him initially, Xue Dakun would surely have ended up like the others, so currently, Xue Dakun was perfectly fine.

"As long as there’s nothing wrong, that really scared me." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xue Dakun finally felt relieved. As long as nothing was wrong with him, he didn’t want to end up like Zheng Feng. But just as he sighed in relief, he suddenly remembered something: since these black-clad figures harbored ill intentions, why would he still want to enhance his power?

Thinking about it, he spoke to Lin Feng: "Boss, since you say these people have no good intentions, shouldn’t we stop following them to avoid trouble later on? What do you think?"

There was genuine nervousness in his heart now. Although he had acquired such strong power, he couldn’t accept becoming a murderous person. He is human, not a beast! Now that he understands that they mean harm, he and Lin Feng should just leave, avoiding those people and any associated trouble.

Lin Feng heard Xue Dakun’s words, smiled gently, shook his head, and said with a smile to Xue Dakun: "You’re oversimplifying things. If they could find you, it means they have a special method to pinpoint people with special abilities. Detaching from them is basically impossible unless you play dead, or you have to keep pretending you know nothing and keep playing along. There’s no other way."

Xue Dakun oversimplified the situation. If these people were so easy to lose control over, the black-clad figures wouldn’t have gathered so many people to enhance their power. Lin Feng knew from the beginning that people like Xue Dakun were always under control, and the safest way to break free was to uncover the true masterminds behind it all to uproot the threat completely.

"Boss, then... what should I do? I haven’t taken the Nurturing Soul Pill or practiced the Immortal Soul Nine Transformations. If I have to fight others later, this little strength can’t even protect myself..." The mention of not being able to break free of the black-clad figures’ control made Xue Dakun even more flustered. His strength was far less than others’. If conflicts arose and Lin Feng wasn’t around, he might not even have the ability to protect himself. Only now did he realize how dire the situation was, and he was quite anxious.

"Actually, you can take the Nurturing Soul Pill, and you can also practice that Cultivation Technique." Lin Feng heard Xue Dakun’s words and noticed his anxiety, so he replied like this. He had already considered it in his spare time, and under specific conditions, it was indeed possible, but only under those conditions.

"Ah... how is it possible, Boss? Didn’t you say the Nurturing Soul Pill shouldn’t be consumed, and the Immortal Soul Nine Transformations shouldn’t be practiced? How come it’s suddenly okay?" Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xue Dakun was dumbfounded, hardly believing his ears. Lin Feng had previously said it was impossible, yet now it’s possible—what’s going on here?

If he hadn’t seen what happened to Zheng Feng, he would have taken the Elixir and practiced the Cultivation Technique without hesitation. But now shadows loomed over his heart, fearing he’d end up the same way. He’d rather not practice at all than turn into that. He’d rather die when the time comes.

"I’ve studied the Nurturing Soul Pill, and it contains the Qi of Slaughter, affecting one’s mind. Continuous consumption is definitely out of the question. You can take one pill. With me around, taking one pill has no adverse effects, which can be fully controlled. Once the Qi of Slaughter is depleted, you can take another. As for the Immortal Soul Nine Transformations, you can’t practice it blindly. Practice as I say, and there won’t be any problems."

Lin Feng shared his research insights on the Nurturing Soul Pill and Immortal Soul Nine Transformations with Xue Dakun to set his mind at ease. With him around, Xue Dakun wouldn’t encounter any issues.

"It can be done this way... really, Boss?" Xue Dakun was stunned upon hearing Lin Feng’s response, hardly believing his ears. He had almost completely given up on the Nurturing Soul Pill and Immortal Soul Nine Transformations, never expecting there was a way to use them. Suddenly, he was overwhelmingly excited. The power surge after consuming the Nurturing Soul Pill was something he had seen with his own eyes. Even if he only took one pill, he believed his strength would greatly increase. Thinking about it made him ecstatic.

"Of course, it’s true. I’ll take you to a less crowded place." Lin Feng glanced around at the many people present, pondered briefly, and after a simple statement, he led Xue Dakun away.

Not long after, they appeared in a park. It was already evening, and there were hardly any people in the park. Finding a secluded spot, Lin Feng indicated for Xue Dakun to take out the Nurturing Soul Pill and swallow it.

After Xue Dakun took out the Nurturing Soul Pill, he swallowed it immediately. He trusted Lin Feng. If Lin Feng meant him harm, he would have acted long ago. So now, there was no reason not to trust Lin Feng. As long as he could increase his strength and make up for past losses, this was too good an opportunity to pass up.

As soon as the Elixir entered his stomach, a fire surged through his meridians, making him feel as if his body was being burned by fire—extremely painful! But just as he was about to give in, suddenly the meridians where the Flame passed felt incredibly comfortable, and he stood there dumbfounded, not understanding what exactly was happening.

Yet it didn’t stop there. Once the burning pain from within dissipated, he was free from any discomfort. Instead, he felt exceedingly comfortable, as if his body was brimming with endless strength, with the surging power coursing through him like waves—an indescribable sensation!

"Ah..."

Unable to hold back a long howl, a ring of Qi erupted from his side, blowing outward. The overwhelming power left him intoxicated, unsure of how to vent it.

"Don’t immerse yourself in this feeling. Keep your mind calm. You control the power, not the other way around." At this moment, Lin Feng advised Xue Dakun. This power had to be controlled; otherwise, one would lose their true self, just like Zheng Feng.

Lin Feng’s words immediately woke Xue Dakun up. He no longer indulged in the indescribable power and guided his movements, gradually calming the turmoil within. After a short while, the surge of power sensation faded, and he returned to his normal state.

"Boss, now I understand why those people are so powerful. This power is overwhelming. Just one pill and I felt this way. If I consumed a whole bottle, I wouldn’t be able to control it. Thank you, Boss, for helping me." At this moment, Xue Dakun expressed his heartfelt thoughts. He was genuinely excited now. He could finally become a cultivator. Taking the Nurturing Soul Pill was like opening a window, and from here on, he just needed to practice the Immortal Soul Nine Transformations to rapidly enhance his strength.

"From now on, always be careful. Never let power lead you astray. As for the Immortal Soul Nine Transformations, you can practice it, but remember, do not exceed three hours daily; otherwise, your progress will be too fast to control." Lin Feng nodded while imparting control methods to Xue Dakun. Knowing Xue Dakun’s nature, he trusts that Xue Dakun knows what to do afterward. He wouldn’t have to worry in the short term.

"Don’t worry, Boss. I won’t do anything stupid." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xue Dakun replied with utmost seriousness. Even though he’s now stepping into the realm of cultivators, he knew Lin Feng was right, and he’d adhere to his advice, ensuring that power wouldn’t control him. He didn’t want to become like Zheng Feng.

Lin Feng nodded at Xue Dakun’s response. But suddenly, a dark silhouette rushed towards them from afar, moving extremely fast, appearing before them in the blink of an eye. As the shadow stopped, Xue Dakun recognized the figure—it was the black-clad figure that had taken them to the Secret Realm earlier.
