"So it really is the Bone Chilling Flame…"
Even though he hadn't seen it in person yet, having been exposed to the Bone Chilling Flame daily when he was young, he recognized the flame in the image at a glance.
After a long while, Han Feng finally came back to his senses and began carefully reading through the words on the poster, one by one.
As he flipped through each section meticulously, he came to understand that the person who had used the Bone Chilling Flame was named Xiao Yan.
He was a member of the Xiao Clan, one of the three great clans in Wu Tan City of the Jia Ma Empire.
However, when Han Feng saw that Xiao Yan had displayed Dou Huang-level combat strength several times, his expression finally changed.
Others might not understand what this meant, but he knew all too well.
It could only be that the soul of that old undead had possessed this youth named Xiao Yan, which allowed him to erupt with Dou Huang power.
However, judging by the intel, Han Feng deduced that the soul of that old undead was still relatively weak, or perhaps that boy's Dou Qi level was not very high.
Otherwise, with the strength of that old undead—who had been an nine-colored eighth-tier alchemist and a peak Nine Change Dou Zun before his death—his soul should never be limited to merely Dou Huang-level power.
Thinking this, Han Feng couldn't help but feel relieved, and his tense expression gradually relaxed.
Suddenly, he looked back down at the poster in his hand.
From the information presented, it seemed likely that people from the Jia Ma Empire and neighboring countries had all learned of this matter.
Perhaps in less than a year, this news would even reach the Black-Corner Region.
At that thought, Han Feng grew anxious.
If this information were to accidentally reach Feng Zun-Zhe, there was no doubt—he would be dead!
But then he recalled what the person before him had just said, so Han Feng immediately asked, "Senior, you said earlier you knew where this Xiao Yan is going. Please, do tell me as well."
Seeing the change in Han Feng's expression, Lin Feng chuckled lightly and replied, "That Xiao Yan is a student of Jia Nan Academy, and he's already on his way here.
He seems to be accompanied by an Eight-Star Dou Huang guard. That's all I know. As for matters regarding the Yao Zun-Zhe, I shall take my leave now."
With that, Lin Feng slowly turned and walked out of the bamboo grove, heading toward the street outside.
"Master, should we just…"
Han Beng, seeing the former leave, quickly approached Han Feng and made a throat-slitting gesture.
"We don't know who that man's companions might be. Let him go."
Gazing at the image of Xiao Yan in his hand, a strong killing intent flickered in Han Feng's eyes. He then ordered coldly, "Send more people to monitor the route from the Jia Ma Empire to the Black-Corner Region. The moment Xiao Yan is spotted, report immediately. Do not tail him or attempt any ambushes on your own."
"Yes, Master."
With a respectful reply, Han Beng's figure leapt away several times and headed toward the hiding places of the Dou Wang experts, beginning to distribute the tasks.
"Lin Feng, you're back! I heard from Xiao Cai that you went out to make a deal with someone. How did it go?"
After circling around the Black-Corner Region and passing through a few cities, Lin Feng had just returned to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion when Zi Yan stepped forward to ask.
"This is a Mighty Huang Pill. Take it."
Seeing Zi Yan, Lin Feng casually tossed her a jade bottle. He had inspected the pill on the road and confirmed there were no hidden tricks.
Then he asked her, "How long do you need to absorb this pill?"
"Mmm, smells amazing!"
Hearing that it was the pill she had been yearning for, Zi Yan quickly popped open the stopper and took a deep breath of the thick, colorful medicinal fragrance wafting from the jade bottle.
Then, worried the medicinal power would dissipate, she swiftly sealed the bottle again. After a brief moment of thought, she replied, "Around ten days, I think. Why? Planning something?"
"Yes, I'm preparing to wipe out the Eight Gates. I'll need your help."
Lin Feng clenched his fists and spoke with a somewhat serious expression.
"No problem! After I finish absorbing this Mighty Huang Pill, my strength should rise by a few stars. I'll help you then—free of charge!"
With that, the Dou Qi wings behind Zi Yan suddenly unfolded, and she shot into the sky, vanishing into the distant sunset.
As for Lin Feng, he also stood up to prepare for one more push in elevating his own Dou Qi level.
After all, while Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's strength wasn't bad at the moment, taking on a faction with a Two-Star Dou Huang was still a risky endeavor.
But for the sake of obtaining Flame Mantra...
He had to first take down the Eight Gates and acquire the vast resources within.
According to the auction catalog he had obtained yesterday, the items at this upcoming Black Seal City Auction were exactly the same as those in the original story.
He didn't really care much about the other items, but the Low-Grade Earth Class movement technique mentioned on it caught his attention.
Because if nothing went wrong, that technique should be none other than one of Wind Lightning Pavilion's signature Dou Techniques—Three Thousand Lightning Movement, whose speed could rival even Mid-Grade Earth Class techniques.
As for that seventh-grade pill, the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, he wasn't particularly interested.
After all, only Yao Chen and Han Feng were capable of refining such a thing.
And the one in front of him now could only have been consigned by Han Feng to be auctioned off by the Eight Gates.
If he tried to snatch it, wouldn't that mean clashing head-on with Han Feng?
At his current strength, he didn't yet have the qualifications to do so.
If Queen Medusa were to be held back, he'd probably end up getting wiped out on the spot.
Thinking of his own strength, Lin Feng felt it would be wiser to focus on improving his power first, and immediately made his way to the alchemy room.
After sitting down, he lightly flicked his storage ring and took out a jade bottle. From within, he poured out a lotus seed wrapped in dense green light.
This little thing was the Core Fire Lotus Seed, a companion to the Green Lotus Core Flame.
"No wonder it's called the essence of fire spirits... After absorbing hundreds of years of underground magma power, the dense energy inside is no weaker than those low-quality Dou Spirit Pills I barely managed to refine. Let's hope you can help me rise one minor level…"
Sighing with emotion, Lin Feng raised his palm. A Green Colored Lotus Platform slowly floated out from his storage ring and eventually hovered in midair, radiating a soft green glow.
With a quick shift of his body, Lin Feng nimbly leapt onto it and sat down cross-legged.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes swiftly, and gradually entered a cultivation state.
His consciousness also began to slowly sink into his body.
In the very moment he slipped into cultivation, he flicked his finger, accurately shooting the Core Fire Lotus Seed on his fingertip into his slightly open mouth.
The instant the lotus seed entered, Lin Feng's previously fair face instantly turned flushed with heat.
And the moment it entered his mouth, it transformed into a torrent of scorching energy.
It surged down his throat with a wild and forceful momentum.
The blazing energy formed from the lotus seed surged into his meridians, and in a flash, completely flooded the previously empty channels.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's consciousness immediately activated his cultivation technique, circulating his Dou Qi to absorb and refine the energy as his own.
However, the fiery energy formed from the Core Fire Lotus Seed was terrifyingly aggressive.
Everywhere it passed, the surface membranes of his meridians were forcibly scorched away by the sheer heat.
