Ye Shen's strength had increased, which made Qin Feng very happy. This way, he would have a capable helper. However, he still had many doubts about the Ghost Bracelet. Qin Feng was not sure if communicating with the ghosts inside would affect Ye Shen, so he said, "If you can avoid using that bracelet, it's best not to. We cultivate the orthodox path of immortals, and your communication with ghosts might have future consequences."
Hearing this, Ye Shen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I've become good friends with that ghost, and he won't deceive me. I'm quite confident about that. By the way, you should keep this coral treasure for your own cultivation. My current cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, and this item offers little help to me now, but it should be very beneficial to you. If you cultivate with this for a few days, our realms might become the same."
Qin Feng accepted the coral-like treasure and then put it into his storage ring. He said to Ye Shen, "I'm not interested in improving my strength right now, and there isn't much time left before the teleportation array opens. We should depart for Qingxi City now. We'll return to the Savage World when the teleportation array opens, and perhaps look for 204. When we return to this world again, we'll head to the Extreme Desert. I have a feeling that this trip to the Extreme Desert will be a significant challenge. If we can get 204's help, it would be very beneficial for us. Even if we can't get his help, we should still repay what we owe him. Without his assistance that time, we wouldn't have been able to simultaneously kill seven overlord-level monsters. Nor could we have captured Wang Feng and made her our helper. He has helped us immensely, and we haven't compensated him enough. Therefore, I plan to give him a portion of my treasures as payment for his help twice. This way, we'll be even."
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Ye Shen nodded and said, "It's better for us to be somewhat wary of 204. The cultivation techniques he practices are different from ours, and his actions are rather peculiar. Moreover, now that my strength has reached the Nascent Soul stage, I don't really need his help anymore. However, you're right, we still need to repay what we owe him. Otherwise, if we want to advance our realms further in the future, inner demons might cause us great trouble. So, when are we departing for Qingxi City? Are we still taking a helicopter this time?"
Qin Feng nodded. "Let's wait a bit longer. Those two guards will bring me new medicinal herbs soon. We might be gone for a long time this time, so we must store enough medicinal herbs. This way, even in the Extreme Desert, we can refine pills and continuously increase our strength."
Ye Shen nodded. The next day, the two guards arrived with a carriage. This time, they brought a large quantity of medicinal herbs, which Qin Feng was very satisfied with.
These medicinal herbs were enough for him to refine pills and would last him a long time.
Qin Feng said to the two guards, "I'm going on a long trip this time and might not return for a while. I will contact you proactively when I get back. Continue to acquire medicinal herbs during this period. When you find me, give them all to me at once."
The two guards nodded upon hearing this. They had already earned a lot of money by acquiring medicinal herbs and were now wealthy. They were completely obedient to Qin Feng's words.
Then, one guard patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, no matter when you return, we will wait for you. We will fulfill the tasks you've assigned us without any compromise!"
Qin Feng was very pleased to hear this. He took out some spirit stones from his storage ring and gave them to the two, instructing them to continue acquiring medicinal herbs.
With all preparations complete, Qin Feng purchased several helicopters from the shop in his mind. This time, he had many people to take with him, and one helicopter was no longer sufficient. The money to buy helicopters was not much for him, as the money he replicated every moment was a considerable sum. The cost of these helicopters was merely a drop in the bucket for him.
Qin Feng directed 500 Red Alert soldiers, each with a combat power of 300, to board the helicopters. Simultaneously, he used his multi-tasking ability to control several Red Alert soldiers to pilot these helicopters. With his current mental power, controlling hundreds of helicopters simultaneously was not an issue.
Ye Shen, looking at so many helicopters, was quite puzzled. She asked, "Why are you taking them all to Qingxi City? Last time, you only brought a few people. Why are you bringing so many this time? They don't have any combat power, isn't this a waste of money?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled and said, "These people are my secret weapons. Their cultivation methods are different from ours, so the cultivators in this world cannot sense their true strength. In fact, each of these individuals possesses strength equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage. With them as my clones and puppets, our overall combat power will be very formidable."
Ye Shen was greatly astonished by Qin Feng's words. She carefully counted the number of these Red Alert soldiers and said in shock, "If what you say is true, and each of these people has the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, then the combined force of these individuals is terrifying. How did you achieve this? I remember these guys having very ordinary combat power. How did you raise their strength so high?"
Qin Feng chuckled, "Of course, through special methods. I've been refining pills recently, and these pills are very beneficial to them. The reason I haven't been improving my own strength is primarily because I want to significantly boost their combat power. After all, one person's strength is ultimately limited."
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Ye Shen was filled with admiration. She gave him a thumbs-up and said, "So that's why your realm hasn't improved recently. It turns out you've made such grand plans behind the scenes. You truly are my teammate; your thinking is different from others. With these people protecting us, we'll be even safer. And with me, a Nascent Soul stage expert, holding the fort, our team has nothing to fear. Hahaha..."
Ye Shen burst into laughter. Qin Feng wasted no more time. He directly boarded a helicopter, and simultaneously, using his multi-tasking ability, he directed the Red Alert soldiers on other helicopters to pilot the numerous aircraft, and they departed.
The rumbling sounds echoed continuously in the air.
Qin Feng, as before, intended to have Wang Feng act as a bodyguard in the air to protect their flight.
So, he took out his walkie-talkie and began to contact Wang Feng.
However, he received no response, which puzzled Qin Feng greatly. Given Wang Feng's infatuation with him, there was no reason for her to refuse to answer when he contacted her proactively.
She must have been dealing with something and therefore did not have her walkie-talkie with her.
With this thought, Qin Feng put down the walkie-talkie and flew towards Qingxi City according to the original plan.
