56: Chapter 56 Separate

"Xiao Feng, then tell me, how should we break this deadlock?" Sect Master Du Busi opened another jar of spirit wine and drank it in large gulps.

"It's very simple. Without affecting the Sect's operations, invest the majority of our funds into purchasing spirit tools."

"However, we won't buy from the Original Three Kingdoms, but rather through the Sun Moon Empire's channels!" Lin Feng smiled faintly, his eyes filled with deep meaning.

"But the Sun Moon Empire has very strict controls over spirit tools flowing into the Original Three Kingdoms. Small quantities aren't a problem, but if it's a large amount, it will definitely attract the Sun Moon Empire's attention."

"Sigh, Revered Master, sometimes you should think about it. Since we have the manpower and the strength, why do we need to buy them legitimately?"

Sect Master Du Busi was stunned, his face displaying a very interesting smile. "You mean, rob them?"

"Of course, but for this kind of thing, we can only pull off one big job. I've already thought of the location: we'll go rob the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Treasury and the Mingde Hall."

"That place holds the Sun Moon Empire's most advanced spirit tool technology data, as well as unfinished, semi-finished large-scale war machines. Instead of developing it ourselves, we might as well just take the pot right off their stove and put it into our own bowl!"

Lin Feng clenched his fists, a sharp, fierce look appearing on his face.

As far as he was concerned, the Sun Moon Empire was the enemy, and he would have no psychological burden when it came to robbing an enemy.

"Good, Xiao Feng, what you said is excellent!"

When it came to robbing, Sect Master Du Busi's face looked as if he had been injected with adrenaline. "Development? Development my ass! We'll just snatch people and resources directly from others' hands and turn what doesn't belong to us into ours. This idea is fantastic!"

"Let's do it!"

Sect Master Du Busi slapped the table in approval, immediately confirming the plan on the spot.

"Revered Master, don't get too excited. The plan needs long-term consideration. I intend to make it our Sect's first five-year development plan."

Lin Feng pressed his palm down, signaling his Revered Master to calm down, and said with a smile:

"We are starting from zero right now, so the beginning will definitely be extremely difficult, but we can use our strengths to compensate for our weaknesses."

"In my plan, after obtaining the Sun Moon Empire's most advanced spirit tool technology, we will match the technology level of the Original Three Kingdoms within five years, and vigorously develop spirit tools within ten years, successfully ensuring that every Body Sect Disciple can be equipped with a full set of spirit tool technology."

"Then my plan will have come to a perfect conclusion!"

Sect Master Du Busi's eyes widened. "Five years? Why does it take so long? Didn't we steal the latest technology data from the Sun Moon Empire? Why do we still need to spend five years to catch up to the Original Three Kingdoms' spirit tool technology?"

Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth. "We stole the data, it doesn't mean we can just pick it up and use it. Doesn't our Body Sect also need to train our own spirit tool Revered Masters?"

"Then we can just snatch a few level nine spirit tool Revered Masters from the Sun Moon Empire when the time comes, and have them make spirit tools for us. If they dare refuse, hmph..." Sect Master Du Busi let out a cold snort.

"Sect Master, things aren't as simple as you think. This is inherently a variable situation. If we encounter them during the process, knocking them out and taking them away would be fine, but what if something goes wrong?"

Lin Feng's expression was serious as he said in a deep voice, "One can never be too careful with this kind of thing. The plan in my head is only in its initial stages; it still needs a lot of time to be perfected, and besides..."

He paused, his gaze meeting Sect Master Du Busi's eyes. "And we are still missing the most crucial intelligence data. Otherwise, we don't know where the Royal Treasury is, or where the Mingde Hall's data is. We wouldn't even know where to go to rob them."

Sect Master Du Busi was silent, and only after a moment did he say, "That's true. So, do you have any good plans?"

Lin Feng looked thoughtful.

Sect Master Du Busi leaned closer, looking at him with anticipation.

Lin Feng smiled brightly and said, "Not yet!"

Sect Master Du Busi almost fell backward onto the ground. Immediately after, Lin Feng added, "But just because there isn't one now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future. Don't worry!"

Sect Master Du Busi sat back down, feeling depressed. "That's true. Enough talk, let's go another three hundred rounds!"

He swept away his gloom. Ever since drinking with Lin Feng, his heart had suddenly cleared up, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun, and everything became bright and clear.

"Revered Master, I'll say it again: change might be difficult, but it's worth a try." Lin Feng looked at him, his eyes deep as he spoke, because in this matter, only if he understood could this plan truly be implemented.

"You're right, change is indeed difficult, but it's not just me who needs to change, it's the entire Sect, from top to bottom."

"Perhaps just as you said, this drastic reform is no less than completing a revolution!" Sect Master Du Busi laughed at himself, his expression quite distressed.

Lin Feng nodded, understanding how difficult the resistance within this would be, but he didn't intend to become a Fatty in one go; some things just have to be done slowly.

This drinking contest lasted until late at night. Lin Feng was the first to not be able to hold on and collapsed. Sect Master Du Busi was not surprised and subsequently sent him back to his room to rest.

...

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Lin Feng finally woke up.

"Oh no, what did I do last night? ..." Lin Feng clutched his forehead, looking like he wanted to die of embarrassment.

Although his memory had become very blurred, he still had some vague impressions. In the end, his Revered Master had even tried to trick him into becoming the Sect Master. Fortunately, he hadn't fallen for it...

"I can't drink this much next time!" Lin Feng looked annoyed. He entered the bathroom and washed his body with cold water before walking out the door.

Just at this moment, the doors to his left and right opened simultaneously. Lin Feng was stunned, while the two women's gazes were locked tightly onto each other.

"Ahem... How about we go eat first?" Lin Feng coughed awkwardly, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Agreed!"

"I have no objection!"

Lin Feng: "..."

In the cafeteria, Lin Feng told the two women about his plan to go out with Sect Master Du Busi to the Far North to Cultivate.

"What, you're leaving?" Qiuqiu's beautiful eyes widened as she angrily slapped the table, staring at him with a furious expression.

Lin Feng's face felt a bit guilty as he nodded unnaturally. "This... I have indeed been in a Bottleneck period recently."

"How long?" Qiuqiu felt a sense of foreboding and quickly asked.

"A few months at the shortest, half a year at the longest..."

Lin Feng lowered his head, not daring to look at Qiuqiu again. When he had first brought Qiuqiu to the Body Sect, he had promised her that he would accompany her well. He hadn't expected to break his word so soon...

Nan Qiuqiu was silent, pursing her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, I can understand you. Each of us has our own path. Although my strength is still very low, I will work hard to ensure I don't hold you back."

After hearing this news, Vina appeared more optimistic than Qiuqiu, and she was secretly determined to work hard and Cultivate.

Lin Feng nodded slightly and reached out to stroke Qiuqiu's head, comforting her: "Alright, don't be sad. I will be back very soon. Trust me, okay?"

Qiuqiu's eyes turned slightly red, and she stared stubbornly at Lin Feng. "Then you must return as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you to come back at the Sect!"

Lin Feng felt a pang of bitterness in his heart and promised, "I promise you, I will definitely return as soon as possible!"

"Cultivate well, and wait for my return!"
