Chapter 1171 - 1197: An Unexpected Surprise

After the banquet, the group chatted for a long time before leaving. Both Chu Cheng’s progress was noticed by Chu Lian and Princess Yiyi, even though they didn’t directly ask, they knew it was surely related to Lin Feng.

Then, Chu Lian took Chu Cheng and left the City Lord’s Mansion. As they left, Princess Yiyi specifically instructed them not to cause trouble outside, to which they readily agreed.

"Yiyi, Feifei, let’s go to the secret chamber. Your current strengths are similar, but if you want to ascend, it will still take some time. Let me see if I can shorten your ascension time," Lin Feng said.

Kong Feifei knew Lin Feng intended for Princess Yiyi to absorb the energy within the Immortal Stone, so she remained silent. However, Princess Yiyi was extremely curious about how Lin Feng was going to do it.

They then entered the underground secret chamber of the City Lord’s Mansion. Upon entering, Lin Feng immediately absorbed all the Nether Energy inside the chamber. The two women didn’t mind this move, as they were used to Lin Feng’s many strange and unusual actions.

"Yiyi, try to see if you can absorb the energy inside this Immortal Stone!" Lin Feng said, taking out a Low-Grade Immortal Stone.

Princess Yiyi looked at Lin Feng with confusion before taking the Immortal Stone and began to absorb it. After about half an incense stick of time, she stopped abruptly, her face looked very distressed as sweat constantly broke out on her forehead.

"Lin Feng, I seem unable to absorb the energy within this Immortal Stone. It repels the Nether Power in my body, and I feel very uncomfortable now," Princess Yiyi said at this moment.

Lin Feng was suddenly shocked, not understanding why such a phenomenon had occurred. Judging by logic, if Feifei could absorb the energy inside the Immortal Stone, Yiyi should be able to do so as well, it felt a bit strange.

If this were truly the case, perhaps she would only be able to ascend to the Netherworld. Seeing her would be even more difficult in the future, and for a moment, his mood sank a bit.

Princess Yiyi seemed to understand something seeing the fleeting expression on Lin Feng’s face, "Lin Feng, does this mean that if I cannot absorb the energy within the Immortal Stone, I won’t be able to stay with you in the future?"

Not wanting her to feel sad, Lin Feng smiled and said, "No, absorbing the energy within the Immortal Stone can accelerate the time you need to elevate your realm. Since you can’t absorb it right now, it seems you’ll just have to slowly enhance your realm. Rushing things is useless sometimes."

Kong Feifei understood well, but she remained silent, otherwise Princess Yiyi would be even more heartbroken.

Lin Feng then asked the Jade Immortal Emperor, "Jade, why can’t Yiyi absorb the energy inside this Immortal Stone, but Feifei can?"

"Master, Princess Yiyi belongs to the Ghost Race, which is originally formed through the transformation of various energy gases into a unique clan. Naturally, it cannot absorb other energies. However, if she had been absorbing Immortal Spirit Qi since birth, she might be able to do it.

But now the absorption of Nether Energy is already deeply integrated, absorbing other energies naturally becomes much harder, you shouldn’t mind these things too much, letting things take their natural course is the best. The Ghost Race is also a very powerful clan, an overlord in the Netherworld. You will understand when you have a chance to visit the Netherworld," the Jade Immortal Emperor said.

Hearing this from the Jade Immortal Emperor, Lin Feng felt much relieved. Looking at Princess Yiyi, he smiled and said, "Yiyi, keep practicing hard, and we can still be together in the future. I came back this time just to see you all."

Princess Yiyi glanced at Kong Feifei and asked, "Feifei, can you absorb the energy inside this Immortal Stone?"

Kong Feifei smiled somewhat helplessly and said, "I can barely absorb it, but there’s also a significant rejection. Don’t lose heart Yiyi, if you try hard, you can also ascend."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this matter. My time back is limited, and it’s already late. Let’s have a good sleep tonight," Lin Feng said.

Upon hearing this, both women’s faces blushed immediately, "I’m not joining, you and Yiyi can handle it, I believe she has been longing for this after all these years, I don’t want to interrupt," Kong Feifei said.

Princess Yiyi’s face turned even redder, "Feifei, what are you saying? Lin Feng is so powerful, I can’t handle him alone, let’s accompany him together tonight, we have done it before anyway."

What followed was naturally a long-awaited battle, Princess Yiyi was like a hungry wolf, battling with Lin Feng for a long time before stopping, feeling completely satisfied, while Kong Feifei felt rather frustrated and uncomfortable about it, Lin Feng reluctantly fought her until she was sleepy.

After glancing at the two women who had fallen asleep, Lin Feng directly left the room, the Netherworld’s sky without moonlight was somewhat uncomfortable for him, he came alone to the Martial Arts Training Ground, sat down there and started thinking about the matters he needed to deal with next.

What he worried most about now was whether Chu Lian could absorb the Immortal Spirit Qi within the Immortal Stone, feeling both hopeful and hopeless. Hopeful for a rapid increase in power, allowing an ascent to the Immortal Realm, yet hesitant as ascending to the Netherworld would offer care for Yiyi in the future, the thought made him feel somewhat confused.

As time slowly passed, Lin Feng unknowingly sat on the Martial Arts Training Ground for half the night, "Dad, why are you sitting here? Can’t be starting morning practice so early, right?" Chu Lian’s voice appeared beside Lin Feng’s ear.

"Lian’er, what are you doing here so early at the Martial Arts Training Ground, are you practicing too?" Lin Feng asked.

"That’s right, I practice every morning, I heard Chu Cheng suddenly ascended several realms, is that true?" Chu Lian asked.

"Chu Cheng was born with the Divine Concealment Vein, once formed Qi Sea, his future is limitless. You are all my children, I won’t favor anyone. Lian’er, try absorbing the energy within this Immortal Stone to see if you can absorb it," Lin Feng said, taking out the Immortal Stone.

Chu Lian didn’t understand why Lin Feng did this, but she accepted the Immortal Stone and sat down to absorb it. Similarly, after half an incense of time, she stopped and showed a joyful expression.

"Dad, what is this thing, the energy inside is very strong, when it enters my body it feels like a fish returns to water, if there is enough Immortal Stone, raising realms would be so easy," Chu Lian said excitedly.

Lin Feng was taken aback by Chu Lian’s words. She could actually absorb the energy within the Immortal Stone, yet Yiyi could not. But soon, he understood the reason; Chu Lian carries half of his bloodline, perhaps even more than half, she can naturally absorb the energy within the Immortal Stone.

Moreover, she can directly appear above Canglan Ancient Land without fear of sunlight, "Lian’er, you can absorb the energy within the Immortal Stone, this is very good, Dad will give you enough Immortal Stones to absorb, so you can quickly ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"Dad, why the hurry to get us to ascend, is there some special reason?" Chu Lian asked.

"You’ll know once you ascend, come, accompany Dad for a walk!" Lin Feng said, then they directly flew into the air, disappearing over the City Lord’s Mansion in an instant... (continuation in the afternoon)
