A hundredfold return! My unfilial disciples are all reincarnations of the Empress.

Lin Feng, carrying the packed food, took to the air on his sword, preparing to return to Qingyun Xiaozhu Peak, when a thought suddenly came to mind.

All things considered, he doesn't even have a single subordinate now; there are only two people in the entire Xiaozhu Peak, from top to bottom.

Lin Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Am I at the bottom of the food chain?

Although this disciple is very obedient, the Great Love Immortal Venerable System is still there, and the disciple is not someone I can boss around.

"No, we can't live like this!"

Lin Feng stroked his chin, a plan forming in his mind, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"I wonder if giving a junior disciple to my apprentice counts as giving a gift?"

Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly became interested and, instead of rushing back to the mountain, leisurely strolled along the long street.

Qingxi Town was bustling with merchants, and cultivators and mortals mingled and interacted, creating a lively atmosphere.

As I passed a quiet street corner, I suddenly heard angry shouts.

Several young men on the street corner surrounded the man in the middle, mocking him.

"Kid, you've got some nerve! You dare to scavenge on our Black Stone Gang's territory?"

"Hand over all the junk you collected today, and all the spirit stones you have on you! Or I'll break your legs!"

Lin Feng peered through the gap between the group and saw a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old squatting in the center of the encirclement.

The boy was wearing a patched, coarse linen shirt that had faded from washing. He was thin and his hair was casually tied up.

His face was filled with panic, and he was tightly clutching bundles of neatly arranged scrap wood and iron in his arms.

Facing several menacing Black Stone Gang thugs, the boy's legs trembled slightly, but he still forced a forced smile on his face.

"Brothers, please be lenient. I only picked up this little bit today. It won't fetch much money, and I need this little bit of income to make a living."

One of the thugs, with a face full of scars, snorted and shoved Wang Xiaofan hard on the shoulder.

The force was immense. Wang Xiao, who was already thin, staggered and fell to the ground instantly, scattering the scrap wood and iron he was carrying all over the ground.

The group kicked the fallen scrap aside, making a fuss about Wang Xiao, who was lying on the ground.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow; he had no idea that there was a gang in Qingxi Town.

Wang Xiaofan lay on the ground, his palms scratched by the rough bluestone, and his back ached from being kicked several times.

But he gritted his teeth, remained silent, and just clenched his fists tightly.

Lin Feng stopped looking around and slowly walked into the alley.

He was dressed in white, his appearance as ethereal as a hermit. The others turned around to look when they heard footsteps.

The Black Stone Gang thug sized Lin Feng up and down, his expression somewhat grave. He asked uncertainly, "Are you a cultivator?"

Lin Feng chuckled softly, but remained silent.

The leader of the thugs got angry and pointed at Lin Feng's nose, shouting, "I'm asking you a question! Do you want to meddle in other people's business?"

"So you're from the Black Stone Gang?"

"Exactly!"

Lin Feng scoffed: "Call your boss over here!"

Upon hearing this, the group of thugs immediately turned fierce and glared at each other.

"I think you've come here specifically to cause trouble! Brothers, let's do it!"

Several men rushed over, about to punch Lin Feng.

Unfortunately, in front of Lin Feng, the fists and feet of mortals are as fragile as ants trying to shake a tree.

Lin Feng simply turned to the side, raised his hand, and released a wave of spiritual energy.

boom!

A dull, loud bang rang out.

The thugs were instantly struck as if by a giant hammer. They screamed and flew several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

The remaining two thugs' expressions changed drastically, their faces filled with terror, and they instantly panicked.

They no longer dared to be arrogant, and without even caring about their fallen companions, they turned around and tried to flee in panic.

Did I tell you to leave?

Lin Feng spoke calmly, his voice carrying a hint of lazy authority.

He quickly made hand seals, and two bright white runes flew out and landed precisely on the two of them.

puff-

With two sharp cracks, the two men's legs gave way, and they collapsed to their knees. They clutched their hearts tightly, their faces contorted in pain.

The thug turned around and looked at Lin Feng, trembling all over, and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Immortal Master, spare us! We were blind and ignorant, and offended you. Please, have mercy on us!"

Wang Xiao, who had been staring in disbelief, finally remembered that he was still lying on the ground. He got up and rubbed his sore back.

Looking at Lin Feng, who stood before him in white robes, he was filled with awe and admiration.

In his fifteen years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen a high-level cultivator up close.

Lin Feng glanced at the trembling thugs on the ground and said, "Bring your boss here within half an hour, or you'll all explode and die."

"Yes! Yes! We'll go bring the boss here right now!"

The two thugs, as if facing a formidable enemy, scrambled to their feet and hurriedly ran towards an intersection.

Only Lin Feng, Wang Xiao, and a few thugs who were lying on the ground and unable to get up remained at the scene.

Wang Xiao dusted himself off, quickly walked to Lin Feng, and bowed deeply, his eyes filled with sincerity and gratitude: "Thank you so much for saving me, Immortal Master. I will never forget your great kindness!"

Looking at the boy's humble and obedient demeanor, Lin Feng nodded slightly and said in a friendly tone, "Wang Xiao, not a bad name. Would you be willing to be my henchman—my subordinate?"

Wang Xiao was startled, suddenly looked up, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

The other thugs on the ground were also dumbfounded, secretly thinking to themselves that this kid had really had incredible luck.

Before he could finish his excitement, Lin Feng continued, preemptively warning him with a lazy tone: "Be my subordinate, responsible for miscellaneous tasks on the peak, running errands down the mountain, and handling trivial matters. I'll give you one hundred low-grade spirit stones a month."

"To make it easier for you to do things for me, I'll also teach you sword control techniques and other skills. Are you willing?"

Upon hearing these words, Wang Xiaofan was instantly overjoyed!

He had had enough of being lonely and bullied all his life, and dreamed of finding a good home.

Before he could agree, Lin Feng added, "There's one more condition: you must never betray me. I will place a blood pact on you. If you betray me, you will experience extreme pain, unbearable agony."

Wang Xiao paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before gritting his teeth and agreeing.

With a "thump," he knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "Your subordinate, Wang Xiao, is willing to follow the Immortal Master! I will never betray you!"

Looking at the boy's honest and enthusiastic expression, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile like a capitalist.

Suddenly, an envious and jealous voice rang out in the air: "Immortal Master, do you need any more followers? I can have some too!!"

"And me! Immortal Master, I've been your underling for eighteen years just so I could meet you today and then switch jobs to become your subordinate!"

Lin Feng was speechless. If he hadn't noticed everyone's eyes light up when he mentioned one hundred low-grade spirit stones a month, he would have truly believed it was because of his charm.
