It had to be said.
Lin Shuai Nan truly felt like a bottomless pit now.
Ling Feng felt he couldn't satisfy Lin Shuai Nan's needs.
Even though he knew that everything Lin Shuai Nan was doing was meaningful and valuable.
However, if all these things were used by Lin Shuai Nan, they would inevitably be exposed.
They had not yet fully controlled the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, so it was impossible to use all of its resources.
Therefore, they had to endure for now.
Lin Shuai Nan scratched the back of his head and shrugged helplessly.
"There's no other way, big brother. Although the alchemy materials you gave me are plentiful, they haven't been preserved very well. Some of them are moldy, and I don't dare to use them. If there aren't fresh alchemy materials, I'm worried the success rate of ninth-grade pills will decrease. Isn't this all for you to break through to the Tribulation Stage as soon as possible?"
After speaking, Lin Shuai Nan put on a fawning smile.
Ling Feng naturally knew that Lin Shuai Nan's words were only half true.
This fellow was probably addicted to alchemy and wanted to research new alchemy methods, hence the need for fresh alchemy materials.
However, his reasoning was also very sound, and Ling Feng had no reason to refuse!
Helplessly, Ling Feng could only nod at Lin Shuai Nan and say, "Write a list, and I'll have them handle it!"
"Alright! Please wait a moment!"
Lin Shuai Nan turned and left with great alacrity.
Not long after, Lin Shuai Nan came out with a piece of paper.
Ling Feng nodded slightly upon seeing the paper. It didn't seem like much, solved with just one sheet. It shouldn't have a significant impact.
However, as the paper fell into his hands, Ling Feng realized something was wrong with its weight.
With a slight shake of his hand, the paper instantly slipped down. It was folded, and when it unfurled, it was at least 1.8 meters long!
Ling Feng's mouth twitched. "Are these all the things you need?"
Lin Shuai Nan awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "This is only half of it. This is the minimum requirement!"
He even acted as if he had been very generous.
This kid was truly a genius businessman, a profiteer!
Ling Feng was also very helpless. He waved for Lin Shuai Nan to go back and wait, then directly summoned Elder Qi.
Elder Qi was having tea at Zhang Zhicong's residence, with Liu Jin, who looked utterly dejected, beside him. Upon being summoned by Ling Feng, Elder Qi dared not waste any more time with the two and quickly teleported over to Ling Feng.
After appearing, Elder Qi stood in the courtyard, bowed respectfully, and waited quietly.
Just then, Qing'er and two other girls walked out of a nearby house.
Elder Qi was startled to see the two, and his face turned somewhat red.
He was, after all, the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, second only to the Sect Master. Yet today, he had been reduced to waiting outside the residence of an inner disciple!
This was an object of ridicule!
Qing'er and the other two sensed Elder Qi's presence, their faces immediately turned pale, and they quickly turned back into their rooms.
Ling Feng had already come out by then. Seeing Elder Qi standing in the middle of the courtyard, he glanced back at Qing'er and the girls' room.
Ling Feng then said coldly to Elder Qi, "Next time, wait outside!"
"Yes!"
Elder Qi dared not argue.
At the same time, he understood Ling Feng's meaning. His appearance was inappropriate and had disturbed the residents here!
"Collect these things for me!"
Ling Feng directly threw the paper in his hand over.
Elder Qi quickly took it with both hands. However, as he glanced down, Elder Qi couldn't help but tremble all over!
"Master, these things..."
"What? Is there a difficulty?"
Ling Feng interrupted Elder Qi and asked indifferently.
Elder Qi nodded subconsciously and said with difficulty, "These alchemy materials are too numerous, and some of them I don't even have the authority to obtain. If all of them are collected, it might attract unnecessary trouble!"
"It's alright. In at most five days, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will be under my control, and then all the resources of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will also be under my control!"
Ling Feng replied indifferently.
Elder Qi trembled all over and then looked at Ling Feng with extreme shock.
He muttered in disbelief, "Five days?"
"Yes, only five days. Do you have any objections?"
Ling Feng asked indifferently.
Elder Qi trembled all over and quickly shook his head repeatedly at Ling Feng. "No, five days. This old servant can still stall for time!"
"Then go!"
Ling Feng waved his hand casually. Elder Qi immediately felt his body enveloped by a surge of energy, and the next moment, he teleported away.
After Elder Qi steadied himself, he immediately began to sweat all over.
"This... this is the Great Teleportation technique. Isn't this a divine ability only possessed by Tribulation Stage experts? How is this possible? Could he have already reached the Tribulation Stage?"
Thinking of this, Elder Qi fearfully put away the things in his hands and returned to Zhang Zhicong.
"Elder Qi? What did Master want you for?"
Zhang Zhicong asked nervously.
Liu Jin beside him was still furious with the two, glaring at Elder Qi without speaking!
Elder Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and then turned to the two, saying grimly, "Master wants me to collect some things!"
Zhang Zhicong's eyes widened upon hearing this.
"Could it be alchemy materials?"
Elder Qi's eyes also widened!
"How did you know? Could it be..."
Zhang Zhicong gave a bitter smile and nodded at Elder Qi, saying, "Sect Leader Hong and I had already collected them once before. I didn't expect that after only two days, Master had already consumed them all."
"How much did you collect? Master wants me to collect too much this time!"
Elder Qi didn't expect he was already the second person to bear this pressure. He bitterly handed over the slip of paper in his hands.
Or rather, he spread it directly on the ground.
Zhang Zhicong was also somewhat dumbfounded upon seeing this and swallowed with difficulty. "This, this is too much. It's at least five times the amount of alchemy materials I collected before!"
"With so many alchemy materials, we might have to resort to some means to obtain them. If this matter is exposed, we won't be able to handle the consequences!"
Liu Jin also swallowed with difficulty, and then a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.
Elder Qi naturally saw Liu Jin's change in expression clearly and said coldly, "Elder Liu, I know what you're thinking, but I advise you to behave yourself!"
"You, how do you know what I'm thinking?" Liu Jin trembled, then glared at Elder Qi through gritted teeth.
Elder Qi sneered, "Heh heh, you're usually the one responsible for regularly delivering food to the ancestor's secluded cultivation place. Do you think I wouldn't know what you're trying to do? You want to find the ancestor to dissolve the soul-blood method on you, right?"
Liu Jin's face turned deathly pale, and he then slammed the table. "Hmph, you two cowards, are you going to let me sit and wait for death like you?"
"Elder Qi, I'm telling you, you'd better mind your own business. If this matter is exposed, I'll be the first to not let you off!"
Liu Jin threatened Elder Qi with a fierce look.
