"...Oh?"

Li Feng was surprised at the sight in front of him after he activated the [Star Apostle].

He had figured out a bit about this skill.

Like how he didn't need to confirm with the system, since he could see if someone was qualified for his star just by using the skill and looking.

And right now… every single passerby actually qualified.

"... What?"

Li Feng stared dumbfounded at the scene as he saw every single one of them had this small light above their head, which meant they qualified for one star.

He didn't see anyone beyond one star, but that wasn't what shocked him.

"...Is it because they are mortals...? Maybe that's why it's easier for them to adapt..."

Then he shook his head as he realized something, "...No, it's probably more like it's easier for the star to adapt to them..."

There should be some difference between a mortal's soul and a cultivator's soul on some fundamental level.

But of course he wouldn't know such an mystery detail so knowing this much seem enough for him.

Li Feng who seemed to finally understand somewhat, looked at the scene and sighed.

"Even though everyone is qualified, it doesn't mean I can make all of them my apostles."

He didn't even have enough Favor point to use for such a large-scale bestowment...and he also didn't want to make just anybody his apostle.

Li Feng, who reached this thought, just smiled.

"In the end, it's up to me to decide."

Now that he had decided and understood the skill better, Li Feng looked up and saw it was still noon.

"Guess I should find something to kill time… oh wait, I did promised little Zhu to visit her place."

Li Feng thought of Zhu Bai, whom he promised to visit, and couldn't help but think of the skill.

With his star, she should be able to start cultivating.

Then he started to grin.

"Hehe… Ehem, I guess I'll have to let her go under an ... evaluation first."

With his heart thumping and excitement rising, Li Feng started heading toward the Zhu Mansion.

After asking around for a little bit,

Li Feng finally arrived at what seemed to be the Zhu Mansion.

"Wow, they're really rich."

He murmured while staring at the massive gates, with the character Zhu carved boldly on the expensive plaque hanging above.

Li Feng walked up and knocked.

Knock.

Knock.

Right after, someone responded.

A small viewing slit slid open.

"May I help you with something?"

The guard asked politely from behind the gate.

Li Feng smiled lightly.

" I'm here to visit Zhu Bai."

The guard paused, looking him up and down.

Noticing his sect robes, he spoke more respectfully.

"You're here to visit the young miss? May I know your name, senior…?"

"Li Feng," he replied calmly, arms folded. "Tell her that name and she'll understand."

The guard nodded, closed the slit, and hurried off.

After a short wait, the heavy gates finally began to open.

A soft creak echoed as they shifted aside.

Two guards pulled the gate from within, and a beautiful maid stepped out with a warm smile as she greeted him.

"Young Master Li, please come in. This way."

Li Feng simply nodded and stepped inside.

He was greeted by a beautiful courtyard, then guided along a cobblestone path that wound deeper into the mansion.

Along the way, he even passed a wide pond filled with spiritual herbs and rare fish, and couldn't help but marvel at the wealth of a true cultivation family.

'I wonder if Wei Meilin's place is also like this…'

His thoughts drifted for a moment.

After walking for a while more, Li Feng noticed something odd as the surroundings had grown quiet.

No guards, no servants, not even footsteps besides the one leading him.

He was about to ask when the servant spoke first.

"Young Master Li, we have arrived."

She politely gestured toward another elegant courtyard.

Not far inside, a room awaited with its door already open.

Seeing this, Li Feng just walked toward the door without hesitation.

The servant who saw this quietly withdrew after completing her duty.

Stepping past the doorway, Li Feng immediately noticed that the person waiting inside was not Zhu Bai's petite figure… but a mature, voluptuous silhouette seated gracefully at the table in the middle of the room.

And it was someone very familiar for him.

"Young Master Li, please have a seat."

She smiled softly as she poured tea into the cup across from her as she invited Li Feng to seat down.

Li Feng let out a small laugh after recognized the mature and graceful women Infront of him.

"Ah, Madam Zhu. I didn't expect to meet you instead...what an honor."

It was Zhu Bai's mother, Zhu Yin, the matriarch of the Zhu Family and also is someone who had left quite the impression on him during the sect tournament as she was the first person who tried to purchase his seed.

And thanks to her, he have been able to enjoy a mother-daughter combo for the first time.

"Haha, don't tease me, Young Master Li. It is actually my good fortune to entertain someone as capable as you."

Li Feng who heard this , just smiled and sat down and drank the tea in a single gulp.

Zhu Yin's graceful smile deepened as she refilled his cup and continued,

"Zhu Bai isn't here today. She's away handling some errands for the family business. So I hope you don't mind having an old lady accompany you instead, Young Master Li."

Li Feng looked at the mature woman in her bright red robe as it hugged her voluptuous figure with effortless grace, and every curve seemingly carved to be seductive.

What caught his eye the most, however, was her enormous breasts that look soft, heavy, and enticing.

Right now her upper white skin was exposed just enough to show a deep, mesmerizing cleavage.

Li Feng couldn't help but feel his desire slowly rising looking at this beautiful and voluptuous women.

But he still smiled calmly on the outside.

"Haha, Madam is the one joking" he laughed as he raised his cup again. "I'm actually thrilled to have such a fine woman like madam entertain me."

Zhu Yin's eyes flashed with a faint, knowing glint.

After that, they began to exchanged small talk for a while like about his travel, cultivation, ...and his achievements in alchemy.

And as they spoke, Li Feng gradually start to realized something.

'Hmm? This mature fox clearly wants something from me… all these questions aren't random.'

And as expected, after finishing another round of idle talk, Zhu Yin's expression subtly shifted.

She set her cup down and gazed at him more seriously.

"Young Master Li… I know this is presumptuous of me, but I would like your assistance regarding a matter concerning my family."

Li Feng didn't seem bothered and he simply smiled.

He even feel a bit glad that she want something from him.

'If I play it right then... maybe I can have her relieve my... ehem overflowing yang problem.'

Li Feng try to calm his rising eager little brother and replied.

"Please, Madam. We are hardly strangers. You can speak freely."

Seeing his openness, Zhu Yin let out a soft sigh, hesitating for a moment before continuing.

"This may sound rude but… how confident are you in breaking through to Rank 2 Alchemist, Young master Li? "

Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately understood.

For her to ask this....she definitely wanted his help.

But,...

In the cultivation world, asking about someone's breakthrough was extremely rude.

It could be seen as prying into their secrets, or worse, ... humiliating them if they failed to meet their claim.

But Li Feng, whose face was thicker than a spirit beast's hide, didn't care at all about this kind of question.

Still… he pretended to be offended as he realized now the situation is under his control.

Then,

His brows tightened.

A cold sneer formed on his lips.

" Hmph… It seems Madam truly thinks too little of me. Well then, since Zhu Bai isn't here, I'll take my leave."

Li Feng's expression turned dark as he stood up slowly, his aura even carrying a hint of anger.

But then a delicate hand held onto his.

"Wait! I didn't mean to offend you…"

Madam Zhu hurriedly grasped his hand as she leaned forward onto the table.

Li Feng sneak a few glances at her cleavage and coldly said.

"If so, then why ask such a question? Please let go, Madam."

Madam Zhu who heard this froze as she really didn't expect such a reaction out of Li Feng, so she looked around.

Then she noticed Li Feng's sneaky glance toward her cleavage and her eyes brightened as she remembered that Li Feng still seemed to enjoy mortal indulgence.

"I really am not trying to offend you, Young Master Li....How about this as an apology?"

She took his right hand and placed it onto her right breast.

"I know Young Master Li still has some attachment toward mortal indulgence… so you can play with my breast to relieve some of your anger."

Hearing this and seeing the sincere look on Madam Zhu's mature face,

Li Feng give a long sigh and sat back down reluctantly.

"Since Madam is quite sincere… I will listen to what you have to say."

Of course, his hand continued to roughly knead her soft breast over the cloth.

'Hmm...so soft and full.'

Madam Zhu who saw Li Feng calm down sighed in relief and didn't seem to mind his roughness as she continued leaning over the table so Li Feng could have an easier time playing with her breast.

"It is like this...."

Then she began to explain her family situation, which was currently slowly declining due to not having a Foundation cultivator in their line.

And how she wanted to ask Li Feng if he could become a Rank 2 alchemist so he could help them refine a Foundation Pill.

Li Feng, who remained silent while enjoying the soft sensation in his hand, nodded as he finally understood.

Then he looked toward the nervous face of Madam Zhu and slowly said,

"So what if I can reach Rank 2? Refining a Foundation Pill for you isn't easy, and to be frank, I don't think we are that close that I should sacrifice my time and effort for you, Madam."

Madam Zhu, who heard this, shook her head and smiled as her confident slowly returning.

"Don't worry, Young Master Li. We will provide you with all the ingredients and also generous compensation."

Then she lowered the upper fold of her robe, causing her generous white plump flesh to spill over the table as she gave an sultry and seductive look at Li Feng.

"...And I can throw myself in as a bonus too, Young Master Li. I am sure my humble, mortal body can bring you some satisfaction."

Zhu Yin knew that Li Feng still loved indulging in mortal desire, so with all the rewards and even her body on the table, she was quite confident that he couldn't resist.

' As long as it's not dual cultivation that harms my own foundation… letting him enjoy my mortal body a few times is nothing.' she thought.

As the future of gaining a Foundation cultivator and restoring her family's strength was more important and definitely worth this small sacrifice.

But her confident smile froze when she heard his answer.

"I'm sorry, Madam" Li Feng said calmly. "I'm afraid I can't accept these conditions."
