Arranging everything, Qin Feng returned to his residence.
204 was still in a coma. Qin Feng could feel that the power within the other party had only recovered by half. To fully awaken, based on his past experience, it would not happen until 204's power recovered to 200%. This meant 204 would not wake up before the teleportation array opened.
Ye Shen was also cultivating in a cross-legged position. Without external assistance, her progress was very slow.
However, after days of quiet cultivation, her temperament had also become much calmer.
Seeing Qin Feng return, she asked, "Did you have any gains at the auction? Are the auctions in this world very lively?"
Qin Feng nodded, then took out the coral-like item from his storage ring. He said to Ye Shen, "This item is very helpful for your cultivation. With its assistance before the Nascent Soul stage, your cultivation speed will greatly increase. The lower your realm, the greater its help. I bought this specifically for you."
Ye Shen took the coral-shaped item. She could feel the special energy fluctuations within it. Even without cultivating, just by placing the item beside her, she felt the energy within her body stir, growing faster than when she cultivated.
Ye Shen's eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "Such a good item must be very expensive. I owe you more and more!"
Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Since we've formed a team, we naturally have to help each other. If your strength can increase, it will be very beneficial to me as well."
Ye Shen nodded and said no more. Instead, she placed the item beside her and began to cultivate. Polite words were useless now. Ye Shen understood that only when her strength increased to a level comparable to Qin Feng could she repay his kindness, and only then would she and Qin Feng have a future. Otherwise, with her current low strength, she was completely mismatched with him, only causing him trouble and being of no use, a complete burden. Therefore, she had to improve her strength, not only for their future but also because it was very important for herself.
Seeing Ye Shen diligently cultivating, Qin Feng did not disturb her further. He withdrew from the room and continued his life as before, opening his furnace to refine pills.
Then, he controlled his Red Alert legions to practice the Body Tempering Art.
Thus, Qin Feng spent a few peaceful days. The alchemy notes left by Elder Yao deepened his understanding of alchemy. He was now able to refine Body Tempering Pills, a high-level pill that only alchemy masters could refine. After several days of failures, Qin Feng finally succeeded in refining a batch.
Although the success rate of pill formation was very low, Qin Feng was still very happy. Being able to refine Body Tempering Pills, even with a low success rate, was already remarkable. To increase the success rate, only experience accumulation was needed. As long as he kept refining pills, he could achieve it.
Looking at the 10 Body Tempering Pills in his hand, Qin Feng directed 10 of his Red Alert legion soldiers to come forward.
Qin Feng gave these 10 pills to the 10 soldiers to consume, and then they continued to cultivate the Body Tempering Art.
Through comparison, Qin Feng discovered that the Red Alert soldiers who consumed the Body Tempering Pills made rapid progress in their cultivation. In just half a day, while other Red Alert soldiers showed no progress, the 10 Red Alert soldiers who ate the Body Tempering Pills had advanced from a combat power of 15 directly to 50.
They had cultivated the Body Tempering Art to the 10th page, while other Red Alert soldiers were only lingering on the 3rd page.
Sensing the boundless potential of these 10 Red Alert soldiers, Qin Feng specifically trained them, wanting to see how far the Body Tempering Pills could elevate these Red Alert soldiers.
As their cultivation deepened, the Body Tempering Art became increasingly dangerous.
The 10 Red Alert soldiers jumped off a cliff. In the end, only 8 Red Alert soldiers survived. Their combat power, after this special stimulation, directly increased to 100. The Body Tempering Art book had also been cultivated to the 15th page. The entire book had only 30 pages, and they had already completed half of the cultivation. However, Qin Feng knew that the further they cultivated, the more difficult it would become, the lower the success rate, and the greater the danger.
These 8 Red Alert soldiers might all perish due to cultivating the Body Tempering Art. However, this was not what Qin Feng was worried about. These Red Alert soldiers had no souls; they were purchased with money. Even if they died, it was of no consequence. He could have as many as he wanted in the future. What he wanted to test now was how much benefit the Body Tempering Pills could bring to the Red Alert soldiers.
Therefore, he continued to command the remaining 8 Red Alert soldiers to cultivate the Body Tempering Art. The challenges and difficulties they faced became greater and greater.
When they reached the 17th page of the Body Tempering Art, only one of the 8 Red Alert soldiers remained, and his combat power had risen to 300.
Qin Feng decisively terminated the cultivation. Possessing a combat power of 300 was already extraordinary. Although he was still incomparable to Qin Feng, he was like a superhuman in the eyes of ordinary people. Even if he returned to the Savage World, a Red Alert soldier with a combat power of 300 could single-handedly fight against a Commander-level monster, and even had the ability to fight against a Dominator-level monster. With suitable weapons and equipment, he could become a powerful subordinate.
10 Body Tempering Pills could give him a subordinate with a combat power of 300. Qin Feng felt this deal was very worthwhile. He hurriedly took out his alchemy furnace again to refine pills. He still had a lot of medicinal ingredients, which would allow him to have ample Body Tempering Pills.
Thus, another two days passed. Qin Feng successfully refined several more batches of Body Tempering Pills. As his refining frequency increased, Qin Feng's pill formation success rate also grew higher.
His alchemy skills became increasingly powerful. Simultaneously, due to the Body Tempering Pills, he now possessed 5 subordinates with a combat power of 300. These 5 powerful Red Alert soldiers would be his trump card, capable of producing unexpected results at critical moments.
Qin Feng was satisfied with his achievements and planned to continue refining pills to further expand the strength of his Red Alert legion.
But just then, Wang Feng arrived, flying through the air.
Qin Feng had to put down his work. Wang Feng quickly came to his side and said to him, "I have completed the task you assigned me. The bodies of the 700 deceased individuals have been found, and they will be transported to the teleportation array when it opens. At the same time, I have done my best to acquire all the items they brought with them. However, some items could not be found because they were too powerful, and the people who purchased them had strong abilities and refused to hand them over. There was nothing I could do."
Qin Feng nodded. He had anticipated this situation. Items obtained from the新手礼包 (novice gift package) had powerful auxiliary effects for the cultivators of this world, so no one was willing to give them up. To make them willingly surrender, a person of great power would have to speak.
In this world, the most respected and powerful person was undoubtedly the one known as the Immortal Venerable. If that person were willing to cooperate, he could send all the barbarians and items that came to this world back to the Savage World.
