Chapter 389: A Bountiful Harvest [10,000 Words] (Part 1)
Fang Che also understood that the brainwashing methods of such powerful families were equally impressive.
Wealth, status, power, strength, and resources, coupled with generations of brainwashing... It was effortless for them to create generations of loyal servants.
Moreover, human nature inherently carries the genes of survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle. As a result, the worship and reverence for the strong are deeply ingrained. Although everyone verbally expressed disdain, when they actually met, the natural awe and restraint that arose from the depths of their hearts were unavoidable for those of lower status—no matter how tough their mouths were beforehand.
Looking at Feng Shiqi's proud expression, Fang Che came to somewhat understand him. Perhaps serving the Feng family loyally was his lifelong pursuit and belief.
But a family with such loyal servants was extremely terrifying, and the Feng family had one hundred and eight of them in this series alone.
Fang Che's evaluation of the Feng family rose a notch. Unfathomable!
"Then how should I address you... Senior Seventeen?" asked the Starlight Commander.
"I'm just a servant. You can call me whatever you like. Perhaps one day, when you're in front of Young Master Feng Xing, your status will be different, and you can directly call me Feng Shiqi. You just need to have the qualifications to do so."
Feng Shiqi didn't seem to mind at all.
The term 'servant' was relative to the strong. The Feng family's servants could very well be the ancestors of other families. It all depended on one's strength.
For someone like Feng Shiqi, if the Starlight Commander before him truly became Feng Xing's right-hand man, Feng Shiqi wouldn't mind having one more person who could command him.
"I dare not, Senior Seventeen. Your cultivation is exceptional, and you've worked hard. I, as a junior, wouldn't dare to offend you like this," the Starlight Commander hurriedly said.
He had figured it out.
The title 'Feng Shiqi' was not to be used lightly if one didn't have the qualifications. Offending him would not just mean offending one person but one hundred and eight people, or even one hundred and eight families.
Too terrifying!
Feng Shiqi seemed slightly pleased with the Starlight Commander's recognition, and his expression softened.
"The Young Master Xing has provided quite a lot of resources this time," Feng Shiqi said with a faint smile, gently touching his ring.
The dark ring emitted a profound flash of light.
The Starlight Commander's pupils constricted.
A spatial ring!
Feng Shiqi actually had a spatial ring.
The spatial ring was something the Starlight Commander had always desired.
There was a saying on the continent: "Not all experts have spatial rings, but those who have spatial rings are definitely experts!"
Not only were their cultivation levels high, but their status and power were also exceptionally high.
Those who lacked status and power wouldn't dare to use their spatial rings for fear of being seen. But those who used spatial rings would never hide it.
And the Feng Shiqi before him possessed one.
The Starlight Commander's thoughts raced: Did all one hundred and eight servants have spatial rings? Or did only a few of them?
This was a significant question!
Imagine one hundred and eight people with the strength and qualifications to possess spatial rings serving as servants for the Feng family. What kind of concept was that?
Feng Shiqi observed the shock and astonishment on the Starlight Commander's face, taking in all these reactions.
With a faint smile, he waved his hand, and ten bottles appeared: "These are ten bottles of Imperial Soul Essence Pills. Although they are of Imperial Rank, Young Master Xing has instructed that your cultivation foundation is solid, and you can take them now. Ten pills in each bottle, one pill a day. After consuming all ten, your divine sense should increase three to fivefold!"
The Starlight Commander was overjoyed, his eyes shining with excitement.
If his divine sense increased three to five times, what would that mean?
"Thank you, Young Master Xing!"
Feng Shiqi waved his hand again, revealing another ten bottles: "Ten bottles of Imperial Essence Nourishing Pills. Ten pills in each bottle, one pill a day. No matter how your cultivation progresses, these pills will strengthen your foundation. You don't need to worry about the strain caused by rapid cultivation growth."
"Thank you, Young Master Xing."
Feng Shiqi waved his hand once more, and again, ten bottles appeared: "Ten bottles of Imperial Essence Spirit Pills. You can take them to enhance your cultivation. Still, there are ten pills in each bottle, one pill a day. But pay attention; when you're about to break through, there will be suppression from different realms, and compressing the spirit energy will bring benefits. You understand this, right? So, don't take them when you're about to break through."
"I understand!"
Feng Shiqi waved again: "One bottle of Duke Level Blue Sky Pills, ten pills. After consuming all the other pills, take one Blue Sky Pill to expel all the pill toxins accumulated during this period. There won't be any after-effects from the pill toxins, and any remaining toxins can be cleared again when you reach the Holy Rank!"
"I understand! Thank you, Young Master Xing."
"Five bottles of Duke Level Mist Divine Pills for recovery in any situation."
"Two thousand Divine Crystals, two thousand Supreme Purple Crystals, and two thousand Supreme Spirit Crystals."
"There are also fifty Imperial Soul Burning Pills. These Soul Burning Pills are to be taken when you're about to break through, but there are still impurities in your spirit energy, and the best compression cannot be achieved. Breaking through in this state would be counterproductive. That's when you should take these pills."
"After taking them, the true essence spirit energy will burn and directly eliminate those impurities. This ensures the purity of the true essence power and compresses the cloud energy at various stages..."
Feng Shiqi's face carried a smile filled with profound meaning: "You should understand this, right?"
"I understand, I really do!"
Fang Che was overjoyed.
With this, his most troubling problem was solved.
"That's basically everything."
That's all!
The Starlight Commander's eyes narrowed with happiness.
These resources were truly timely.
He was currently troubled by how to rapidly improve his cultivation without damaging his foundation and constantly compressing it... How to perfectly solve this dilemma?
Now, he finally understood how those prodigies like Yan Bei Han, Chen Yin, and Feng Xing managed their cultivation.
Indeed, there was no comparison.
Just looking at these elixirs, all their shortcomings were compensated for.
No matter how they cultivated or how they accelerated their progress, it was a smooth path. As long as they were willing, they could even leap through countless ranks within a year.
This was the foundation of the Only Righteous Sect's leader families!
Such a foundation made it impossible for ordinary members of the martial world to compete. Today, you might be on par with a third-rank King, but the next day, you find yourself still at the same rank while your opponent has become a third-rank Emperor.
How was this possible?
Starlight Commander finally understood the truth behind Yan Bei Han's frequent messages to him in the past.
Today: "Night Demon, I've reached the Martial Marquis."
Tomorrow: "Night Demon, I've reached the Martial King."
The day after: "Night Demon, I've reached the Emperor."
This was cheating, and then some!
If it weren't for the need to gain experience, comprehend divine consciousness, and other time-consuming tasks, they could have pushed all the way to the Divine Saint level!
"This is the power of resources and foundation!"
Fang Che sighed.
In contrast, on the Guardian Continent, such phenomena were rare. The secret seeds of super families were unknown, and even those he had seen, like Yu Zhongge, Jing Shuanggao, and Mo Gan Yun, didn't experience this.
Since even they didn't have such resources, it was unlikely that the Guardian Continent would have many such cases, and if there were, they would be extremely rare!
After all, their resources couldn't compare to the other side.
This was the difference, this was the overwhelming advantage.
Fang Che once again felt the immense pressure Dong Fang Sansan faced. Just seeing the items Feng Xing casually gave away, he understood the resource disparity between the Guardian Sect and the Only Righteous Sect. It was like a group of poor people saving up copper coins while their opponents could directly smash gold bricks.
Yet, they had managed to hold on.
This was nothing short of a miracle!
"Thank you, Star Young Master, for your generosity!"
Starlight Commander's heart raced with excitement, "Seventeenth Senior, to be honest, before this, I've thought countless times about what Star Young Master might bring, but... even in my dreams, I never imagined it would be this beautiful. There are so many resources, it's truly astonishing, and I'm breathless."
Feng Shi Qi smiled faintly.
"Even I was shocked by these resources because..."
Feng Shi Qi spoke solemnly, "These resources, even in the headquarters, not everyone has them. Star Young Master went through great efforts to gather these resources. You mustn't think these are ordinary."
Starlight Commander nodded repeatedly.
Ordinary?
He'd never think that.
These items were definitely not ordinary.
So, he truly believed in the words, "Star Young Master went through great efforts."
...
"Put them away."
Feng Shi Qi said calmly, "The Frostblade Sword is above, and if these items are left out for too long, their auras will inevitably be discovered."
"Okay."
Starlight Commander quickly put them away, placing them in a box and treating them as precious treasures, caressing them from time to time.
What treasures!
"Additionally, Star Young Master sent me here for another matter, and I need to seek your opinion."
A smile appeared on Feng Shi Qi's face.
Starlight Commander was taken aback.
Why did Star Young Master need Feng Shi Qi to convey this?
Regardless, there must be another intention.
Starlight Commander's heart immediately became alert.
"What is it? Please enlighten me, Seventeenth Senior."
Feng Shi Qi waved his hand and added another layer of soundproof barrier to the existing one.
Starlight Commander's eyes deepened, and he was so cautious?
"Now, in the Only Righteous Sect's headquarters, there are over ten young geniuses with exceptional talent, each with the potential to shake the heavens!"
Feng Shi Qi spoke slowly, "Whether it's their innate talent, cultivation, abilities, family background, foundation, influence, or supporters, they are all on par with each other, not yielding in the slightest."
"Star Young Master isn't among the top ranks."
"He's even overshadowed by Feng Yun, the Young Master."
"So, how can Star Young Master stand out and create his own path?"
Feng Shi Qi asked.
Starlight Commander was momentarily stunned.
This question had been discussed the last time Feng Xing visited, although not in great detail. Feng Xing's bewildered expression from that time was still fresh in Starlight Commander's memory.
Feng Xing wouldn't forget so easily.
Therefore, these words couldn't have come from him; someone else must have asked.
But Feng Shi Qi was the messenger, indicating that he was a trusted person of Feng Xing.
Why would a trusted person ask this?
Starlight Commander's thoughts raced, "This matter is of great importance, and I need to consider it carefully."
Feng Shi Qi's eyes carried a hint of solemnity, "Take your time and answer carefully."
Starlight Commander nodded, but his mind was in turmoil as he tried to untangle the situation.
First, he confirmed one thing: Feng Xing didn't ask this question.
Then, the second point is confirmed: Feng Shiqi is someone Feng Xing absolutely trusts.
Starting from these two points.
Since Feng Shiqi asked this question directly without any pretense, and he also knows that the Starlight Commander can contact Star Shao at any time, this is definitely not Feng Shiqi's ulterior motive, as it involves his life.
You sent something to me, and you even had the audacity to ask questions on behalf of others?
This is a clear betrayal.
Therefore, Feng Shiqi is undoubtedly Feng Xing's confidant, and he is not afraid of Feng Xing finding out about this.
Then, this matter is something Feng Xing tacitly approves of.
Feng Xing himself knows that he has already discussed this issue with Star Shao, and he wouldn't ask such a redundant question, but he allows Feng Shiqi to ask instead. So, this matter is worth reconsidering.
The Starlight Commander's mind raced.
This gives rise to two possibilities: someone else asked. This person is someone Feng Xing cannot afford to offend, and at the same time, Feng Xing is aware of it.
The second possibility is: someone else asked, but Feng Xing wants this answer to be conveyed through Feng Shiqi's mouth to inform others of his intentions.
In other words, this is a tactic Feng Xing uses himself.
But what does Feng Xing want to convey to the person he asked this question to? That's the key question! And the Starlight Commander's task is to communicate this tacit understanding with Star Shao across the vast distances.
This is a clarification for Feng Xing!
It is also a clarification that Feng Xing himself yearns for!
I have ambitions, but my ambitions will never overshadow my big brother—this is what Feng Xing most wants to clarify. By doing this, he can put his family at ease, and Feng Xing may gain the family's immense resources and focused cultivation. Because the Feng family does not tolerate internal strife!
...
Thinking of this, the Starlight Commander suddenly understood.
Then, he pretended to be confused and said, "The last time Star Shao was here, I had some things I couldn't understand, so when we discussed this matter, both of us were in a fog. During this time, I also carefully inquired and gathered information from various sources... Haha."
Feng Shiqi's eyes showed appreciation, and he said, "How much have you understood?"
"The affairs of the Headquarters are indeed far from me, so I haven't understood much, and my sources are all from the lower levels, so there may be some inaccuracies... But since Star Shao wants to know this time, I'll just say it, and you can just listen. If there are any mistakes, please correct me and forgive me."
The Starlight Commander said seriously.
"Go ahead."
Feng Shiqi said.
"Yes."
The Starlight Commander took a deep breath and said, "Star Shao has lofty ambitions, that's one aspect, and we all know it. The competition within the Headquarters is fierce, and we all know that too. After all, the families of the Vice Supreme Sect Leaders are filled with countless peerless geniuses. And within such families of the Vice Supreme Sect Leaders, geniuses can grow regardless of the circumstances."
"Because they have sufficient resources."
"So suppression and hindrances are insignificant, and they will instead become the driving force for geniuses to move forward."
"So it's certain that talents will emerge, and the competition will be fierce."
"It's natural for Star Shao to have the idea of standing out, but now is not the time for Star Shao to shine."
The Starlight Commander frowned, but his thoughts were clear.
He spoke each word with steadiness: "The most important thing now is to act as a family unit; the Feng family, Yun Xing Xue Yue; must first unite together."
"The four of them must first form a united front, and everything must revolve around the interests of Elder Brother Feng Yun. We must first push Elder Brother Feng Yun to an unparalleled position. This is what the younger generation of the Feng family needs to do the most. The family's strength and the personal strength of the young masters and young ladies should all serve this central goal. There must be no divided loyalties."
"First suppress the other families' geniuses, like Yan Bei Han, Bai Ye, Bi Feng, Chen Zan, Chen Yin, and so on... This is the top priority!"
"Even if some methods are used, it doesn't matter. As long as the Feng family stands alone, that's the best. All actions should be centered around Elder Brother Feng Yun."
Feng Shiqi said calmly, "In that case, won't the other Star Shaos and Moon Shaos still have no chance to rise?"
"How is that possible?"
The Starlight Commander said, "What we should do now is naturally to raise Elder Brother Feng Yun to a high position; the higher, the better. Then, as long as Elder Brother Feng Yun's status is high enough to create a significant gap with the geniuses of other families, Star Shao and Moon Shao will naturally become the second tier. They will still be in high positions that others can reach."
"As the saying goes, the Chancellor's Mansion Seventh Official, let alone brothers?"
"Even if the other families have exceptionally outstanding geniuses, they can't create too much distance, but at most, they will be on the same second tier as Star Shao and Moon Shao, isn't this understanding correct?"
"Yes."
"Once this step is reached, it will be time for Star Shao to develop himself. Because as Elder Brother Feng Yun rises, Star Shao will naturally be surrounded by important powers in this process, right?"
"Yes."
"So Star Shao will naturally hold a high position with authority. And since Star Shao is not competing with Big Brother, Moon Shao naturally cannot compete with Star Shao, right? As for Xue Gongzhu... She's a girl, and she's also Star Shao's sister. She can't bully her own brother, right?"
"When the time comes, Star Shao will naturally start to compete with the geniuses of other families and suppress them, won't that create an opportunity?"
"And he can borrow Big Brother's power to crush them at any time, won't he naturally become the second-in-command of the younger generation?"
"The Star Deity has reached such a state, and the Young Master has naturally risen even higher, with his status increasing by several levels in the process. As for the Star Deity, he is now second only to the Cloud Deity. This much is certain."
"With the Young Master and the Second Young Master becoming the top two, the Third Young Master of the Feng Family will naturally rise as well.
