”Wait for me!”

The moment she heard they were heading to the treasure vault, Zi Yan’s previously sulky little face instantly lit up with joy. With a flap of her purple wings, she swiftly caught up to Lin Feng.

Since everyone from the Black Seal City auction house had already fled, the two of them had no choice but to search the auction house on their own.

After nearly two hours of searching, Lin Feng and Zi Yan finally found the location of the treasure vault.

Because Yuan Yi, as only a two-star Dou Huang, couldn’t use spatial power to safeguard the items.

Lin Feng pushed open the heavy stone door, and an array of dazzling items immediately appeared before his eyes.

”Wow! Medicinal ingredients!”

The moment the door opened, Zi Yan, with her innate sensitivity to medicinal ingredients, instantly sensed their location. Her tiny feet stomped on the ground as she bolted toward a wooden shelf on the side.

”This girl…”

Lin Feng shook his head with a smile. Glancing at the numerous wooden shelves inside, he too stepped forward and entered.

Looking up slightly, he saw the words ”Cultivation Techniques Section” written above, and began walking deeper along the rows of shelves.

At the same time, his soul power continuously scanned the scrolls displayed on the shelves.

As he progressed, the cultivation techniques he sensed gradually shifted—from Low-Grade Black Class, to Mid-Grade, and then High-Grade.

Finally, he came to a halt in front of the Earth Class section.

Looking at the shelf with only three scrolls on it, Lin Feng picked up one with a storage tag beneath it.

Unfurling it, he discovered it was a Low-Grade Earth Class cultivation technique of the wood attribute.

”No wonder this Black Seal City auction house is considered top-tier within the Black-Corner Region. Even Earth Class cultivation techniques are stored here.”

Looking at the technique in his hands, Lin Feng couldn’t help but marvel in surprise.

However, after a moment of thought, he placed it back in its original spot.

After all, those who could deposit such high-level techniques here were definitely not weaklings.

If he simply took everything stored here for himself, he would end up making a lot of enemies.

If you want to rob someone, you better have the strength to back it up.

Then, Lin Feng picked up the next scroll beside it.

After confirming it was a Low-Grade Earth Class fire-attribute cultivation technique, he directly placed it into his storage ring.

The final scroll, however, caught him off guard once again—it was a Low-Grade Earth Class cultivation technique with no attribute restriction.

One had to understand, in general, techniques without attribute restrictions were far more expensive than single-attribute ones.

Because on the Dou Qi Continent, everyone’s Dou Qi attribute was randomly determined—it wasn’t inherited from one’s parents.

So, no one could guarantee what attributes their descendants might have.

In that case, if you purchased a single-attribute technique but were unlucky enough that none of your children shared your attribute…

Then that scroll would just sit in storage, waiting in vain for a future grandchild to match it.

But if you had bought a non-restricted cultivation technique, then you wouldn’t have to worry about any of that.

Because regardless of what your descendants’ attributes were, they’d all be able to train in it.

Sweeping a glance and seeing no storage label beneath the shelf, Lin Feng also stored it in his storage ring.

He then continued deeper into the vault.

When he saw that the shelves ahead were labeled ”Dou Techniques Section,” Lin Feng immediately picked up his pace.

At the very back, he found only three scrolls sitting on the shelves.

Among them, the most eye-catching one was undoubtedly the silver scroll in the middle.

With a surge of anticipation, Lin Feng took a deep breath, then reached out and picked up the silver scroll.

Staring at the few small purple words on the scroll: ”Low-Grade Earth Class Movement Dou Technique – Three Thousand Lightning Movement.”

As the subtle sounds of wind and thunder echoed faintly from within the scroll, Lin Feng’s breathing instantly grew rapid.

Three Thousand Lightning Movement—this was the most advanced pure movement-type Dou Technique from the Wind Lightning Pavilion of Central Plains.

It was considered one of the Pavilion’s core treasures.

Although for certain reasons it was categorized as a Low-Grade Earth Class, its speed was in no way inferior to that of a Mid-Grade Earth Class technique.

Once mastered, one’s movement would become as swift as lightning—so fast it was terrifying.

If a Dou Wang were to master this technique, even when facing off against two opponents of the same level, they could still remain invincible.

A Dou Technique of this level was highly coveted, even on the resource-rich Central Plains.

After all, no one understood better than Lin Feng how overwhelming an advantage speed could be—he had already benefitted from it multiple times.

If he could master this technique, his strength would undoubtedly rise another tier.

After finishing the scroll, Lin Feng glanced at the spot where Three Thousand Lightning Movement had just been resting.

Upon seeing that there was no deposit label below, he finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

If this movement technique hadn’t been purchased by the Black Seal City auction house but was merely stored here, then he could have had trouble on his hands.

He put the scroll into his storage ring, then began inspecting the other two scrolls.

Among the remaining two Dou Techniques, one of them was clearly deposited by another customer.

So he only took the one without any identification tag and then moved on to another section.

When he arrived at the Pill Area, Lin Feng saw Zi Yan about to pick up a small jade box, roughly palm-sized, from the shelf.

”You little rascal, don’t just eat stuff randomly!”

Dou Qi surged under his feet, causing several explosive pops as he rushed over to her side and yanked her back.

”What are you doing?!”

Just as she was about to grab what looked even more delicious than a Mighty Huang Pill, Zi Yan was suddenly pulled back. Hands on her hips, she looked like an adorably fierce little tiger.

”Didn’t you see the word ’Deposited’ written on it? If you eat it, how am I supposed to explain that to the client who left their pills here?”

Rubbing the little girl’s head hard, Lin Feng scolded her with clear exasperation.

”Then just don’t explain. We grabbed it, so it’s mine.”

With that, unable to resist the temptation of the pill, Zi Yan slapped his hand away and reached out again for the cold jade box.

”Are you stupid?! Do you think someone who can deposit a pill like that wouldn’t have the strength to destroy the two of us? Even if you hide inside the Inner Academy, they could still hunt you down.”

Lifting the little dragon girl into the air with one arm, Lin Feng pulled at her smooth cheek with the other hand as he warned.

Right now, he had no intention of making enemies with Han Feng directly—otherwise, he’d have no choice but to flee the Black-Corner Region in disgrace.

Dangling mid-air, Zi Yan flailed her arms and mumbled through puffed-up cheeks, ”I wot it! Put meh doww!”

Hearing that, Lin Feng finally tossed her lightly into the air, then quickly snatched the cold jade box into his own hands to prevent her from sneaking a bite.

But the moment he held it, Lin Feng could clearly feel the chilling aura radiating from the box.

Having rarely seen a tier seven pill, Lin Feng examined it curiously.

The entire box was an even, pale white color—judging by its hue, it was made of top-grade cold jade.

This type of rare jade possessed excellent properties for preserving cold energy.

Noticing the seal etched on the surface, Lin Feng instantly realized what this was—the seventh-tier pill, Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill!

Carefully prying open the lid, a blinding golden light suddenly shot out from within.

The unexpected brilliance illuminated the entire treasure vault as if it were broad daylight.
