(Author Note – info kinda dump. Just saying all the progress over past 2 months)
*POV – Over the past 2 months*
During the past two months a lot of progress was made for Fen Chang. He managed to grow his personal force to over 700 orphans. With having finding 500 talented children and 200 not so talented children.
The original 250 have advanced leaps and bounds during these 2 months as well. They are all at the beginning of stage 1, but those with more talent and a higher resolve have managed to make it to the level 3 or 4. Its not only their QI cultivation that has advanced, but also their body strength. It alone is now comparable to stage 1's after all the hellish training they did. Now with them being able to body cultivate their body strength and hellish training is getting more intense.
…
Fen Changs businesses also made lots of progress. His restaurant is now considered the best in the continent and is raking in millions of golds every day. One of his newer buisnesses was a pill and herb shop, which due to the fact they only sell high quality pills and herbs at an affordable price it quickly became a hit and a target.
His latest business was called "The Adventures Guild" and was used to collect talented or experienced mercenary's and use them to train his personal army, while also making lots of money from killing beasts. The guild quickly became big with the mercenary's, as the guild would purchase any beast for good price, and had request boards put up so the hunters can make extra money.
Though this entire business was just a cover for his personal army to get fighting experience and for him to find talented experienced older people to train his army and to add to his army in general.
This business was built within a month, and within 2 weeks it became the hot spot for mercenary's and lone hunters. By the end of the second month the business already had multiple smaller branches across the whole empire.
This was already Fen Changs plan so the buildings where already built, just not operational. He soon plans to open branches of his buisnesses in the neighbouring empires to further increase his scouting range.
…
Fen Changs resources and slaves grew by the day as well. He has managed to enslave everyone within the Pheonix Company through the help of his elder spy. He now has his own large personal resource makers.
He provides the techniques and materials while they make them into stuff. 90% of the alchemists can already create a peak quality with no pill poison with an 80% chance for grade 1 and 40 % for grade 2 pills. The elders can even make grade 3 and 4 pills through the use of the new techniques and recipes with a decent chance at peak quality. The other professions have had equivalent progression.
Fen Chang now owns most of the nobles, and has gotten a very large number of resources by destroying some noble familys from within. The noble's family's not destroyed but server under him instead only have one goal and that is to get him resources and carry out his orders.
With the amount of family's and sect disciples he has his stock pile of resources and treasures are growing by the day. But his need for them is also growing by the day with new orphans with talent being found quite often.
He has managed to get lot of outer disciples of the sects, and even quite a few of the inner disciples but so far only 1-2 elites of each sect. Lu Peng who was an inner disciple in now the direct disciple of the grand elder thanks to the help Fen Chang's technique, a new body cultivation technique and high-level resources. This has allowed Fen Chang not only high resources but also critical information.
Through the Lu family, Fen Chang was finally able to get some spies in the corrupt parts of the continent. He even found out the Lu family was having contact with their main enemy's. The Xiangling Empire. He used that connection against the other empire and managed to enslave the prince they were in contact with. Though it took a lot of effort since he was guarded by lots of stage 3's and even a stage 4. But with his fathers help they managed to get both the prince and the stage 4.
..
Fen Chang has done a lot over the past two months, but he didn't forget about himself and his harem.
His harem has grown exponentially. Due to his fathers offer to the nobles about him wanting maids, almost every noble in the empire offered multiple women. Some of them even offered their best direct descendants.
Fen Chang was happy as this is what allowed him to take over most of the nobles, while also giving him lots of harem members. The slave rank number is around the 600s, maids 300, personal maids 3, fiancé 1. That one fiancé is obviously Yan Yin, as over the past two months Fen Changs feelings had grown quite a lot.
The 3 personal maids, where special cases. Due to his request that girls with mysterious conditions or are crippled should be checked out, he managed to find 3 beautiful and talented women from lower family's.
These 3 women are Cai Gengxin, Lian Chang and Ding Chin.
Cai Gengxin has a more petite slender body, but not quite at a loli level. She is extremely beautiful with pale, soft skin and deep purple hair. Her eyes are like amethysts while her face like a beautiful diamond.
Fen Chang found her bedridden with a mysterious condition in a similar way to how he used to be. When he found her, she was all bone and barely alive. So, he stepped forwards and cured her. To repay him, she became one of his maids though she secretly only wanted to be closer to him as she fell in love him after he saved her.
The next girl Lian Chang was a girl with horrendous injuries. When she was young, she was crowed a goddess due to her looks. Then a jealous disciple from a sect kidnapped her and destroyed her perfect body.
The injeries she got caused her to become blind, have major parts of her hair be permanently gone. Burns and scar marks all over her body and she finally have a blistered and scorched face.
She also had problems walking as one of her legs was permanently damaged. Seeing her in that state made Fen Changs heart weep as she could have been so extremely beautiful and lived such a good life.
So, Fen Chang took her away from her abusive family that no longer cared about her because she was a cripple and nurtured her back to health. This caused Lian Chang to develop major feelings for him as he cared and watched over her while she was disabled and scarred. He fed her, walked her guided her around, washed her and even healed her.
She now looks like a warrior goddess. Short white hair in a sort of bowl cut, with meaty thighs and good-sized breasts. She also had a little muscle, but only muscle that added to her charm. While her eyes screamed coldness, there was always a blush on her cheeks when Fen Chang was around. She became best friends with Yan Yin quickly due to having similar cold personalities.
The last girl, Ding Chin was a princess from a kingdom under the empires rule. Although she was a princess, she was mostly outcast by her family.
She had a special condition where anyone who touches her would be poisoned to death. This caused everyone to think she was cursed, which eventually caused the kingdom problems, leading her to be outcast and mentally abused.
She was very beautiful even with the special condition. She had long silky green hair, a nice rounded face and a tall slender body with good proportions.
When Fen Chang saw her, he used the database to identify her problems. They were caused by her having a special physique to do with poisons. Fen Chang, with the help of the database managed to supress her physique. He then took her in as a maid and trained her. Her feelings grew because he never hesitated to touch her or eat her food, while for her entire life no one would even touch anything she looked at, let alone something she made. This caused her feeling to rapidly rise, as he was the only one who didn't look at her like she was a curse.
Fen Chang also found lots of other girls with unique circumstances but these 3 are the ones that stuck out to him and caused his heart to flutter at first glance of them.
Even with all his harem hunting, Fen Chang didn't forget his own cultivation and progression. After the first month, he managed to finally breakthrough to QI gathering realm. With Yan Yin and a few of his other maids previously already being at stage 1, he can now start to duel cultivate in his inner world to speed up progress, as previously dual cultivating does not affect stage 0 cultivators.
Due to his advancement to stage 1 level 1. His inner world also experienced a massive change. Previously when stage 0 level 9, its size was equivalent to 9 football fields. Now however it's the size of 18 football fields, and when he made it to stage 0 level 2 towards the end of the second month its size increased again to 36 football fields, and with every level it would increase by 18 football fields.
Due to him now being in the QI gathering stage, he was also able to choose a cultivation technique. So, he used the database to create the best possible cultivation technique for himself. It was called Myriad Worlds Technique. It was a unique level that started off at immortal border. Due to him not getting access to divine techniques till the next world, immortal was the highest. But because its unique it can rank up past divine even before he goes to the next realm.
The technique would normally allow someone to create an inner world within themselves but due to him already having one, the technique evolved and now allowed him to cultivate all the Dao's and combine them and use them to increase his inner worlds power as well as use any element.
He also started proper body cultivation and chose the best technique. Body techniques can't be created by the database as they are all unique and would be impossible to combine them.
Fen Chang chose the technique called Demon Dragons Refining Technique. By him following the technique, he can call forth strands of energy from a high levelled demon plane and a dragon plane. It then takes the 2 miniscule strands and forcefully combines them to refine his body. As he makes progress through the stages of the technique, he should eventually be able to create a demon and dragon bloodline that is in perfect harmony granting him both the benefits.
He not started on his cultivation techniques but also started practicing a sword and bow technique. While he also managed to create the basics of a technique for the scythe.
*Present POV*
Fen Chang has just woken up, and is doing his morning routine. He does some training, then some sexy time followed by a bath. Then he goes to breakfast but before that he makes a quick stop in his inner world.
When he arrives, what greets him is something very different to the previously green grass with herbs growing. No, now there are multiple extremely large buildings.
This was the way Fen Chang worked around the space. The inner world limited his space horizontally and prevented him from creating large farm lands and houses for training. So, he instead though about going up, as there was no limit on its height. Since there is also no wind, natural disasters or enemy's in here he could make extremely tall buildings without worry.
Staring at the giant glass behemoth buildings made Fen Chang reminisce. 'Its like I'm back home.'
(Author Note – don't forget he has hundreds of stage 0 and stage 1 slaves that can easily do as much as 100 or even a thousand regular people. Then there is also that there is no land limit on construction materials and machines. He also has access to tones of resources. So yeh, there are skyscrapers in his inner world now, and is realistic within 2 months as he used it as training for his personal army, since they do lots of heavy lifting with high end materials and work weeks without a break.)
This was all about what happened. Next chapter I will try do some kingdom building with the threat of winter here.
Thx for reading ur all awesome
