Maidservant Panel Unlocked, Can Also Be Upgraded

After soothing the startled kitten in his arms, Lin Feng's thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.

That heartfelt "Master" just now had caused his heart to stir slightly.

In his mind, the cold system prompt sounded at just the right moment.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully subduing the first Maidservant [Qiong Xiao]!"

"Ding! The [Maidservant] template is now officially unlocked. Please check it yourself, Host!"

Here it comes.

A subtle, almost imperceptible curve appeared on Lin Feng's lips. He shifted his gaze from Qiong Xiao's pretty face, which was still flushed with a blush, and with a thought, a translucent blue light screen, visible only to him, quietly unfolded before his eyes.

The system interface was still as simple, almost rudimentary, as before.

But next to the originally solitary [Host] and [Points] columns, a brand-new column, emanating a faint golden light, had quietly unlocked.

[Maidservant].

Lin Feng's consciousness gently landed on this new column.

The light screen flickered, and a new interface popped up.

At the top of the interface was a lifelike bust portrait.

The woman in the painting was clad in an immortal dress, her black hair like a waterfall, her eyebrows and eyes like a painting. Her usually cool eyes now held a hint of perfectly measured reverence and shyness, precisely Qiong Xiao's appearance.

Even the moving blush on her earlobes, which had not yet faded, was rendered with exquisite detail.

Below the portrait were lines of clear, small golden text.

[Maidservant No. 1: Qiong Xiao]

[Race: Innate Human Race]

[Cultivation Level: Early Golden Immortal]

[Loyalty: 75 (Reverence)]

[Status: Dao Foundation damaged, severely injured, incomplete divine abilities]

[Upgradable Options unlocked]

Lin Feng's gaze lingered briefly on the [Loyalty] column.

Seventy-five points.

There was also a parenthesis after it, stating "Reverence."

This value wasn't low, but it clearly wasn't absolute devotion either.

This woman's current feelings towards him were more of a fear and admiration born from witnessing unimaginable power.

To win her complete loyalty, it seemed some other means would be needed.

Lin Feng was not surprised by this. His gaze continued downward, finally settling on the enticingly glowing [Upgradable Options].

This was the main event.

Without hesitation, he willed his consciousness to click again.

Buzz!

The text on the light screen flickered and changed. Three brand-new options, shimmering with different lights, were displayed before him like merchandise.

[Option 1: Repair Dao Foundation, complete the origin. Trace its origin power and reshape its immortal Dao foundation with supreme power, making it perfect and flawless.]

[Required Points: 500 Points.]

[Option 2: Increase Cultivation. Directly infuse vast amounts of pure energy to forcibly raise her cultivation to the Mid Golden Immortal realm.]

[Required Points: 1000 Points.]

[Option 3: Deduce Divine Abilities. Based on the Principles of Formation Dao mastered by the Host, deduce and complete her Innate Divine Ability Thirty-six Transformations of the Heavenly Dipper Formation, doubling its power and making it perfect and complete.]

[Required Points: 1500 Points.]

Lin Feng's breathing momentarily hitched.

Even though he had already anticipated the power of this "Maidservant Nurturing System," his heart still couldn't help but pound uncontrollably when he saw these three options with his own eyes.

Repair Dao Foundation!

These four words, though simple to say, were almost an impossible feat in the Primordial World.

The Dao Foundation was the root of all a cultivator's power. Once damaged, at best their cultivation would stagnate, at worst their realm would regress, and it could even be life-threatening.

Repairing it was harder than ascending to heaven.

It required finding various legendary heavenly materials and earthly treasures, then inviting at least a Quasi-Sage level expert, and expending immense cost and karma, before there was even a possibility of success.

But here, with the System, how much was needed?

A mere five hundred points!

Lin Feng's gaze swept over his current point balance.

[Current Points: 1200 Points.]

These were obtained after killing those four unlucky Golden Immortal pursuers just now.

In other words, as long as Lin Feng wished, he could instantly heal Qiong Xiao's injuries, which had almost severed her Dao path, making them even more perfect than before she was injured.

This was simply defying the heavens!

And the second option was even more domineering and unreasonable.

Directly increasing cultivation!

From Early Golden Immortal to Mid Golden Immortal. For ordinary cultivators, without heaven-defying opportunities, tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation might not be enough to cross this threshold.

With the System, it only cost a thousand points, and it was done instantly.

As for the third option, deducing and perfecting Spiritual Power.

This was even more of a divine method, involving the deduction and comprehension of the Great Dao's Laws, a realm that only Sages were qualified to touch.

The System's price was fifteen hundred points.

A strange light flickered in Lin Feng's eyes.

He finally understood the true usage of this System.

It wasn't just about letting him gain the abilities of a maidservant.

It was about letting him personally forge a Goddess Legion that would be invincible and sweep across the Primordial World!

Only a perfect maidservant could exert her greatest effect.

Lin Feng made a decision in his heart.

His cultivation could be increased slowly, and his Spiritual Power could be perfected later.

But the foundation must be perfect.

A ten-thousand-foot-tall building starts from the ground. If the foundation is unstable, no matter how high it is built, it will eventually collapse.

His first maidservant, her future path, must be smooth and unimpeded, leaving no flaws.

Lin Feng closed the System panel and his gaze fell back on Qiong Xiao.

This peerlessly beautiful immortal maiden was currently lowering her head, nervously twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands. She seemed to still be immersed in the shock and shyness brought about by their recent intimate interaction, completely unaware that in this brief moment, her fate had been completely rewritten.

Looking at her pitiable appearance, Lin Feng thought to himself.

"Since you've followed me, you deserve the best."

He suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and his tone returned to its usual calm and indifference.

"Your injuries have not healed. Follow me, I will heal you."

As his voice fell, without giving Qiong Xiao any time to react, Lin Feng turned and walked towards a cave dwelling deep in the valley.

Heal her injuries?

Qiong Xiao suddenly raised her head, a flicker of confusion in her beautiful eyes.

She subconsciously examined herself and immediately felt that her Dao Foundation was covered in spiderweb-like cracks. Waves of piercing pain were constantly emanating from the depths of her origin.

She knew better than anyone how severe these injuries were.

Let alone healing, it would be a blessing just to maintain her cultivation level without falling.

How would this mysterious and powerful Master heal her?

Could it be that he would expend his own origin power?

At the thought of this possibility, Qiong Xiao's heart tightened inexplicably, and a strange emotion surged within her.

No!

She already owed him the grace of saving her life and the grace of imparting the Dao. How could she let him deplete his precious origin power for her?

Qiong Xiao bit her red lips lightly and quickly followed him, mustering her courage to speak.

"Master, Qiong Xiao's injuries are not serious. She only needs a period of rest..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Feng, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped.

Qiong Xiao was startled, thinking that her words had displeased her Master. The rest of her sentence got stuck in her throat.

Lin Feng did not look back, merely leaving a faint remark.

"I said, you don't need to say much in front of me."

"Keep up."
