I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!

Chapter 739: Chapter 739 Exhausting Every Drop to Fulfill Her Request

After the great feast in the secret realm finally came to an end, Li Ruoxi had reached the peak stage of the Core Formation Realm, while Jiang Feiyan had reached the peak stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The harvest from the feast had been astonishing.

Every dish served by Dao Lord Cloud Piercer contained an enormous amount of spiritual essence, and even the wine that had been treasured for seven million years contained energy that ordinary cultivators would have gone mad fighting over.

Li Ruoxi and Jiang Feiyan had merely eaten and refined that energy under Lin Feng’s guidance, yet their cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, both women could clearly feel that they were standing at the absolute limits of their current realms.

Li Ruoxi’s Core Formation Realm cultivation had reached its peak.

Her golden core was incomparably condensed, and the spiritual energy within her body surged like an endless ocean.

Jiang Feiyan was in a similar situation.

Her Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation had also reached its peak.

The foundation she had built was already much stronger than what it had been before meeting Lin Feng.

Both of them had accumulated enough energy to break through to their next major realms with ease.

However, Lin Feng did not allow them to do so.

This was not because they were incapable of breaking through.

Quite the opposite.

They could probably break through right now without encountering much resistance.

But Lin Feng had no intention of allowing them to rush forward merely because the opportunity was right in front of them.

To ordinary cultivators, advancing to the next realm as quickly as possible would naturally be something worth celebrating.

A breakthrough meant greater strength, a longer lifespan, stronger techniques, and a higher position within the cultivation world.

Many cultivators spent years, decades, or even centuries accumulating enough energy just to reach the threshold of the next realm.

If they were given the opportunity to break through easily, they would naturally seize it immediately.

But Lin Feng viewed cultivation differently.

Cultivation was not simply about increasing one’s realm.

A cultivator’s foundation was far more important.

The realm was like the height of a building, while the foundation was everything supporting that building from beneath.

The higher one wanted to climb, the stronger that foundation needed to be.

If the foundation was weak, then even if someone managed to force their way into a higher realm, they would eventually find themselves struggling when they tried to advance even further.

Their cultivation might become unstable.

Their spiritual energy might be less pure.

Their techniques might lack sufficient power.

Even their future breakthroughs could become increasingly difficult.

But if a cultivator built an exceptionally strong foundation at every stage, then every future breakthrough would become much smoother.

The benefits might not be obvious immediately, but as their cultivation continued to rise, the difference would become enormous.

Lin Feng naturally understood this better than anyone.

He could easily help Li Ruoxi and Jiang Feiyan break through.

In fact, if he wished, he could probably push their cultivation several major realms higher in a very short period of time.

But doing so would be meaningless.

What he wanted was not to create two cultivators who merely possessed high cultivation realms.

He wanted them to have foundations so solid that their future paths would be nearly limitless.

”Don’t rush to break through,” Lin Feng had told them earlier. ”Your current cultivation has increased too quickly. First, completely refine everything you gained and make every strand of spiritual energy truly belong to you.”

Li Ruoxi naturally listened.

Jiang Feiyan naturally did the same.

Neither woman had the slightest doubt about his decision.

After all, Lin Feng had already demonstrated countless times that his understanding of cultivation was far beyond theirs.

If Lin Feng told them to stop, then there was naturally a reason.

Li Ruoxi could feel the tremendous energy inside her body, but instead of trying to force it into the next realm, she began circulating her cultivation method slowly.

She refined every trace of spiritual essence.

She strengthened her golden core.

She repeatedly tempered her body and spiritual energy.

Rather than allowing her cultivation to rise further, she focused on making her current foundation even more stable.

Jiang Feiyan did the same.

She suppressed the urge to break through and carefully consolidated her Foundation Establishment Realm.

Every cycle of cultivation made her foundation slightly stronger.

Every refinement made her spiritual energy purer.

Every moment spent accumulating strength was preparing her for a much greater future breakthrough.

The two women understood that there was no need to rush.

They had Lin Feng beside them.

They had already obtained opportunities that countless cultivators could never dream of obtaining.

There was no reason to fight desperately for another breakthrough when Lin Feng was deliberately helping them build something much more valuable.

Their current realms might appear low compared to the countless powerful cultivators throughout the cultivation world.

Core Formation Realm.

Foundation Establishment Realm.

To truly powerful cultivators, these realms were nothing worth mentioning.

But the realms themselves did not tell the entire story.

Li Ruoxi’s foundation was already far beyond what an ordinary Core Formation cultivator could possess.

Jiang Feiyan’s foundation was similarly extraordinary.

Once they eventually broke through, the strength they could unleash would naturally be far greater than that of ordinary cultivators in the same realm.

And as they continued advancing toward higher realms, the difference would only become more obvious.

This was precisely what Lin Feng wanted.

He did not care whether Li Ruoxi and Jiang Feiyan could show off a higher cultivation realm today.

He cared about where they would stand after hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years of cultivation.

He wanted their path to be as smooth as possible.

He wanted them to have the confidence to challenge cultivators of the same realm and emerge victorious.

He wanted their foundation to be strong enough that even when they reached realms that ordinary cultivators could only dream about, they would still have room to continue advancing.

That was why he was willing to stop them from making an easy breakthrough.

Power was important.

A higher realm was important.

But a foundation strong enough to support even greater power in the future was priceless.

And for Li Ruoxi and Jiang Feiyan, having someone like Lin Feng personally guide them along this path was itself an opportunity that countless cultivators would be willing to sacrifice everything to obtain.

Lin Feng and Dao Lord Cloud Piercer continued drinking and discussing the dao until it was finally time for the feast to come to an end.

The ancient wine had been slowly consumed, and the lively atmosphere gradually became quieter.

Although their time together had not been particularly long, Dao Lord Cloud Piercer felt that he had gained far more than he could have imagined.

He had witnessed a realm beyond his comprehension and received guidance that would likely benefit his cultivation for countless years to come.

As Lin Feng stood up, Dao Lord Cloud Piercer also rose and respectfully cupped his fists.

”Please take care on your journey, Senior Lin Feng,” the old man said sincerely. ”This junior will forever remember your kindness. I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me today.”

Lin Feng could only smile upon hearing this.

”It was nothing worth mentioning.”

To Lin Feng, what he had done was indeed nothing particularly significant.

To Dao Lord Cloud Piercer, however, it was an opportunity that might completely change the course of his future cultivation.

Ding!

Just as Lin Feng was about to leave, a small wooden token suddenly appeared in the air.

The token flew toward Dao Lord Cloud Piercer and gently landed in his hand.

The old man looked down at it with a puzzled expression before looking back at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled.

”Keep it.”

Dao Lord Cloud Piercer carefully held the wooden token.

”Say my name when you are ready to claim the third and final favor that I owe you.”

Dao Lord Cloud Piercer’s expression became solemn.

He understood the meaning behind those words.

Lin Feng had already helped him twice, and now he had given him a way to call upon him when the time came for the final favor.

Such a favor from someone like Lin Feng was something that could not be measured by ordinary treasures.

”Thank you, Senior.”

Dao Lord Cloud Piercer bowed deeply.

Lin Feng merely nodded before turning around.

He stepped out of the little hut, with Li Ruoxi and Jiang Feiyan following closely behind him.

The three figures gradually disappeared from Dao Lord Cloud Piercer’s sight.

The old man stood silently at the entrance of his little hut, watching them leave.

His hand tightened slightly around the wooden token.

He had a feeling that this small token might one day become one of the most precious things in his possession.

Dao Lord Cloud Piercer naturally intended to take extra care of Lin Feng while the latter was still enjoying his time in Infinite Sword Domain City.

After witnessing Lin Feng’s terrifying strength firsthand, the old man had no intention of making even the slightest mistake.

”There must be no mistake,” he murmured solemnly.

He knew that Lin Feng was not someone he could afford to offend, even accidentally.

As long as Lin Feng remained in his city, Dao Lord Cloud Piercer would make certain that everything was properly arranged.

He did not want any ignorant cultivator or reckless force to disturb Lin Feng’s enjoyment.

After all, this was not merely about entertaining a distinguished guest.

It was about making sure that someone like Lin Feng remained satisfied during his stay.

Dao Lord Cloud Piercer looked toward the direction Lin Feng had disappeared and sighed softly.

”Hopefully, those fools in the city understand what kind of existence they are dealing with.”

He had already decided that if anyone dared to cause trouble for Lin Feng, he would personally deal with them.
