When all this was over, the mouth in the sky spoke, saying, "Alright, I have fulfilled the agreement between us. You can sign the contract now, can't you?"
The contract was now in Qin Feng's mind. As long as he agreed, it could be signed in an instant. This was something that could be accomplished with just a thought, but Qin Feng did not rush, because he knew that once this contract was signed, he would have no room for negotiation left.
Now, with the other party's help, his strength had rapidly increased. However, Qin Feng was not satisfied. After all, becoming an immortal might lead to a violent death. Paying such a huge price just for a temporary boost in his current strength was a very unfavorable deal. Therefore, Qin Feng had to secure greater benefits for himself.
With this in mind, he said, "When I return from this area, I will face great danger. Many powerful cultivators will try to intercept me. They are all at the Mahayana stage. Therefore, I must have sufficient strength to leave here. This is not only for my own safety, but also to help you. Thus, I hope that with your power, you can increase my overall combat strength."
Upon hearing this, the eye in the sky fixed its gaze on Qin Feng. It appeared very impatient and angry. The mouth in the sky moved and said, "I have done all that I can. Your current strength cannot be further improved. You must leave this space to have any possibility of improvement, and that requires opportunity, which you must find yourself. I have nothing more to help you with now, so how can I help you increase your combat strength? Are you trying to test my bottom line by delaying time and haggling with me? Do you think I dare not kill you?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng said, "I am not haggling with you, I just want to improve my overall combat strength. Although your power cannot help me continue to improve my strength, it can help my subordinates improve their strength. As long as their combat strength increases, my safety will be guaranteed."
After speaking, Qin Feng pointed to the more than 300 super Red Alert soldiers standing behind him, as well as the more than 3,000 ordinary Red Alert soldiers he had summoned here to cultivate body-refining techniques. As long as their combat strength increased, Qin Feng's overall combat strength would increase. Upon returning to the cultivation world, even if he faced the combined forces of an Immortal Venerable and the Sect Master of Qing Xuan Sect, he would not have to fear anything.
The eye in the sky looked at the Red Alert soldiers standing behind Qin Feng and then spoke, "These fellows have no souls. They are more like walking corpses and cannot cultivate in the way you humans do. Even if I increase the spiritual energy concentration to the maximum, they cannot absorb it. To help them improve their strength, their physical bodies must be forged. I can see that more than three hundred of them already have very strong bodies. You must have forged them, haven't you? Are these fellows your puppets?"
Qin Feng nodded and said, "That's right. They are the ones I have painstakingly forged, and they are responsible for my safety. They are one of my important trump cards. If you can help them improve their combat strength, then my overall combat strength will naturally increase, and I will be able to handle even more powerful cultivators than myself."
Hearing this, the mouth in the sky moved and said, "I can certainly forge their bodies and improve their strength. However, with your current strength, if you want to control these people firmly, their strength must not be stronger than yours. Otherwise, even if they have no souls, they will develop a sense of resistance, and at that time, they might backlash against you. Forging bodies and improving strength is not a human path. As their strength increases, their bestial nature will awaken, and you will be unable to control them. Therefore, your own strength must be higher than theirs. If I intervene to help you, I can only raise them by one level at most. If they are enhanced too much, even surpassing your own strength, they will immediately tear you apart. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly understood. He had always felt that the body-refining technique was somewhat strange, but he had not expected that this method of cultivation did not belong to humans. However, this situation was not important to Qin Feng. As long as he could improve the combat strength of his Red Alert legions, it would be a great guarantee for him. Even a single level increase would be a qualitative leap for him.
This was because if he wanted to increase the level of these super Red Alert soldiers, it would require a lot of money and time. He would have to constantly refine various pills and constantly sacrifice ordinary Red Alert soldiers. It might take the sacrifice of ten thousand Red Alert soldiers to train one super Red Alert soldier. But now, with the help of this guy, he could improve their strength without any loss, which was beneficial and harmless to him.
At the same time, he also obtained a crucial piece of information: the body-refining technique had a fatal flaw – he could not allow the strength of these Red Alert soldiers to surpass his own, otherwise, he would lose control.
With this in mind, Qin Feng nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder. Please help me maximize the strength of these fellows now."
The eye in the sky looked at the Red Alert legions behind Qin Feng. It did not speak but directly took action.
Qin Feng could feel a mysterious and strange power appearing in the surrounding space. The Red Alert legions behind him instantly lost contact with him, as if these individuals were no longer within his control.
Then Qin Feng looked behind him and saw that the space behind him was undergoing a bizarre distortion. The bodies of his Red Alert legions were contorted into various strange postures, their bodies being stretched to the extreme and then compressed to the extreme. If they were ordinary people, they would have died instantly from such stretching.
However, these Red Alert soldiers did not die. He could feel that they still had signs of life. Around these Red Alert legions, there was a strange energy that seemed to control their life and death. Under the control of this power, even if their bodies were cut into tiny pieces, they would still be alive. This was the direct feeling that this power gave Qin Feng.
Qin Feng understood that the powerful being in the sky possessed the ability to control life and death. Its current strength had far exceeded his imagination. This guy could even imprison immortal souls and torment them at will. Forging the physical bodies of these Red Alert legions was a trivial matter. Under its control, the Red Alert legions would not even be able to die if they wanted to.
Fortunately, these Red Alert legions had no souls and no consciousness of their own. Otherwise, enduring such brutal torment would have caused them to collapse instantly. Even if their physical bodies achieved an unexpected level of strength, they would have become walking corpses once everything returned to normal, unable to think anymore.
But this was precisely the advantage of the Red Alert legions. Because they could not feel this pain, they were not afraid of it. When their physical bodies were strengthened by another level, Qin Feng could still control them easily, as these fellows were summoned by him in the first place.
