Long Feng stepped out of the hidden formation and returned to the garden.
Patriarch Wang was already waiting there. The moment he saw Long Feng, his eyes immediately turned toward him.
"It seems you have gained quite a lot from this trip."
"Not bad."
Long Feng nodded casually.
"And did you find what you wanted?" Patriarch Wang’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"The Soul Enchanting Violet is indeed a rare treasure."
Long Feng’s lips curved upward, he didn’t answer directly. But Patriarch Wang understood the meaning behind his words.
"Then I suppose you’re satisfied."
The two stood there for a moment.
But when he was about to go, Patriarch Wang suddenly spoke.
"Alchemist Long, why don’t you stay in the Wang Family?"
"Stay?" Long Feng raised an eyebrow.
"Yes."
Patriarch Wang’s smile became warmer.
"Our Wang Family can provide everything you need. You can cultivate here, refine pills here, and use our resources."
"Patriarch Wang seems quite enthusiastic about keeping me here." Long Feng looked at him with a mocking smile on his face.
"Naturally."
Patriarch Wang laughed lightly, as if discussing some small matter with his friend.
"With your talent, becoming a Fourth-Rank Alchemist is only a matter of time. Perhaps even Fifth Rank in the future. A young alchemist like you is someone our Wang Family would naturally like to keep close."
Long Feng remained silent.
But he finally understood. This old man had finally decided to show his true face, he wanted him to stay for rest of his life.
However, he acted like he hadn’t seen it and smiled faintly.
"Your offer is quiet generous. Unfortunately, I still have many things to do."
Hearing his reply, Patriarch Wang’s expression stiffened.
"Alchemist Long..."
"I’m afraid I can’t stay."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. The warmth on Patriarch Wang’s face gradually disappeared.
"You don’t seem to understand."
Long Feng looked at him with a confused expression on his face.
"Understand what?"
Patriarch Wang took a step forward, blocking his way to go out of the garden.
"Our Wang Family has treated you well. Then why leave?"
Long Feng looked at him strangely.
"Because I want to."
For a moment, Patriarch Wang didn’t say anything, but the coldness in his eyes become more obvious.
Long Feng’s smile also slowly disappeared.
This old fox had never been a good person. He had suffered enough pain during the Myriad Beast Fusion process.
How could he forget the inhuman pain he had received. Previously he didn’t said anything, but it doesn’t mean he didn’t take this matter to the heart.
Naturally, he was angry with Long Feng, but that wasn’t the only reason.
Patriarch Wang had seen the power of the Myriad Beast Fusion Art.
A method that could allow a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to advance several minor realms and greatly increase their combat ability.
How could he not be tempted?
He wanted Long Feng’s secret and keep him inside the Wang Family. But Long Feng shook his head upon his foolishness.
"Patriarch Wang, I didn’t expect that after receiving such a great benefit, you would still want to force me to stay."
"You’ve misunderstood."
"Have I?" Long Feng smiled. "Then why are the elders outside surrounding this place?"
Patriarch Wang’s eyes flickered. He didn’t expect his senses would be this strong, and he had already sensed those elders outside the garden.
Finally, he let out a long sigh as if something he didn’t want to do, but he had to.
"Since you already understand..."
His aura suddenly changed.
Boom!
A powerful pressure erupted from his body, making Long Feng’s clothes fluttered violently. His terrifying Nascent Soul Realm cultivation showed its full power.
"Then I won’t waste any more time."
However, even with facing so much pressure, Long Feng remained completely calm.
"You’re planning to use force?"
Patriarch Wang didn’t answer, his meaning was already obvious. But he slightly shocked with his calm face.
"I should have expected this." Long Feng couldn’t help but laugh.
He looked at Patriarch Wang, as if looking at a idiot.
"After all, you aren’t exactly a good person. But coincidentally, I’m also not a good person."
He raised his hand and his purple Hell Python flame suddenly appeared above his palm.
Looking at the terrifying flames, Patriarch Wang’s expression immediately became serious.
Even after becoming a Fifth-Level Nascent Soul cultivator and obtaining the Nether Poison Spider’s abilities, he still felt a faint sense of danger from that flame.
"That Strange Flame of yours... is quiet terrifying. But don’t think you can defeat me with it?"
"No." Long Feng stared at him with mocking expressions, as he smiled. His smile became strange, slightly more kind of twisted and evil.
"But I have prepared something else for you."
His creepy smile sent chills in Patriarch Wang’s body. A unknown fear come in his heart, as he roared upon him.
"You? What the hell do you think..."
Before he could finish his words, Long Feng snapped his fingers.
"Explode."
Boom!
A strange force suddenly erupted inside Patriarch Wang’s body. His expression changed instantly.
"Ugh!"
He staggered backward, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
Long Feng’s eyes remained cold.
During the Myriad Beast Fusion, he had secretly planted several flame marks inside Patriarch Wang’s body.
They were extremely small, so small that even Patriarch Wang hadn’t noticed them. Each mark contained a trace of the Hell Python Flame’s flame poison.
And now, Long Feng had detonated them.
"Argh!"
Patriarch Wang suddenly dropped to one knee. His entire body trembled violently. The flame poison erupted through his body.
His internal organs felt as if they were being burned from within, crimson blood flowed from his seven apertures.
His face became twisted with pain and disbelief as he looked at him.
"You..."
Long Feng calmly looked at the writhing in pain Wang.
"Did you really think I would help you to become stronger without any precaution?"
Patriarch Wang tried to circulate his spiritual energy. But the flame poison was already spreading through his body.
The Hell Python Flame wasn’t ordinary fire. It had already fused with his body during the transformation, even Patriarch Wang couldn’t easily remove it.
"Stop!"
Patriarch Wang roared, but the main meridian of his throat was also blocked with the terrifying flame poison. In the end, he could only a let out a hoarse croak.
He forced himself to stand, but his body didn’t listen him. His bones let out a cracking sound under his extreme pressure. The Nether Poison Spider’s bloodline within him reacted instinctively to the intense pain.
His body rapidly transformed, purple scales appeared on his body parts, his face became beast-like.
Six spider limbs emerged from his back, but even in his beast form, he couldn’t move. The flame poison continued burning his body.
"It’s time to complete my masterpiece."
With a strange smile on his face, Long Feng raised his hand.
A strange mark slowly appeared on his forehead. It was the second ability of his soul technique, The Soul Dominate.
"Get away from me!" Patriarch Wang’s face changed. He immediately realized the danger as his spiritual energy erupted.
But Long Feng had already expected it. The Hell Python Flame surged once again.
"Burn."
The purple flame entered Patriarch Wang’s body. His Nascent Soul trembled violently.
After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, a cultivator would form a Nascent Soul inside their body.
The Nascent Soul was the foundation of any cultivator’s life.
It was also connected to their physical body. Ordinary cultivators couldn’t completely separate the two. Only extremely powerful cultivators who specifically cultivated their souls could achieve that.
Unfortunately, Patriarch Wang wasn’t one of them.
Therefore, when Long Feng damaged his body, his Nascent Soul was affected as well.
The flame poison continuously burned through his physical body and the pain weakened his Nascent Soul.
Patriarch Wang’s resistance became weaker.
Just then, Long Feng’s soul power surged. The Soul Dominate Mark come out from his head and slowly entered in Patriarch Wang’s body.
His Nascent Soul immediately tried to resist.
Boom!
A powerful soul force erupted, making Long Feng’s face slightly pale.
The difference between their cultivation was still enormous. It was good that the difference between their soul wasn’t that big. While Patriarch Wang’s Nascent Soul was powerful, he hadn’t specifically trained his soul.
On the other side, Long Feng was an Alchemist who was specialized in soul power training and manipulation.
Since he had already damaged his Nascent Soul to certain extent, Long Feng finally could able to match him.
"Submit on front of me."
The Soul Dominate Mark finally reached Patriarch Wang’s Nascent Soul.
"NOOO!"
Patriarch Wang roared loudly, but his body already stopped supporting him. His resistance was already weakening.
The strange mark slowly became imprinted upon his Nascent Soul.
It wasn’t until then that Long Feng finally let out a long sigh of relief. The Soul Dominate Mark had been successfully planted upon Patriarch Wang’s soul, placing him completely under Long Feng’s control.
Patriarch Wang’s body suddenly stopped moving.
The six spider limbs slowly lowered. His beast-like face returned to normal as he slowly stood up. His eyes were empty, devoid of any emotion.
"Master."
At that moment, a notification came in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your actions have successfully matched the requirements of the Evil Alchemist System.]
[Special Reward: A Beast Storage Pouch.]
Long Feng was slightly surprised.
"Beast Storage Pouch?"
[Beast Storage Pouch: A special storage treasure commonly used by Beast Tamers to store living beasts. The environment inside the pouch is only suitable for beasts, not for humans.]
Long Feng’s eyes immediately lit up.
His gaze slowly shifted toward Patriarch Wang and a strange thought appeared in his mind.
In a sense... Wasn’t Patriarch Wang already like his personal beast pet?
"Interesting."
With the Beast Storage Pouch, he wouldn’t need to keep Patriarch Wang beside him all the time. Whenever he needed him, he could simply take him out.
"From now on, you will follow all my orders."
"Yes, Master."
Long Feng’s smile became slightly evil.
He had originally come to the Wang Family for the Soul Enchanting Violet. But now, he had gained much more than he had expected.
"Take me to your family treasury."
Since he had already come to the Wang Family... How could he possibly leave empty-handed?
