Otherwise, if he were to follow the normal path of cultivation—with his current Dou Qi strength at peak Five-Star Dou Zun level—his soul power would at most be at peak Mortal Realm.

In less than a hundred years, his soul would have dissipated into nothing.

How else could he have lasted so long in that magma world without being extinguished?

”Mm. But Elder Yao, there’s currently an organization in Dou Qi Continent called Hall of Souls that’s going around collecting souls. You’d better stay cautious. Souls like yours, from powerful experts, are their favorites.”

Lin Feng wasn’t sure whether Yao Tianhuo was aware of Hall of Souls’s existence, but he gave the reminder just in case.

”Oh? So that’s what they’re after?”

Yao Tianhuo was slightly startled by Lin Feng’s words, then quickly deduced their reason for collecting souls.

Seeing that the old man didn’t seem to know about Hall of Souls, Lin Feng feigned a thoughtful look and added, ”Probably. I’ve also heard that they have Dou Zun experts among their ranks. We’d best avoid clashing with them for now.”

”Alright, then I’ll leave the matter of my resurrection to you. If you ever need help, just summon me directly.”

After speaking, Yao Tianhuo’s somewhat illusory figure instantly vanished into the storage ring on Lin Feng’s hand.

As for Lin Feng, having gained so much today, he was more than satisfied.

He immediately jotted down the ingredients for the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill on a sheet of paper and handed it to Medusa, asking her to relay it to the Treasure-Seeking Division for collection.

Meanwhile, he went to the alchemy room to refine pills, aiming to improve his control over his own Dou Qi.

After all, he had only spent less than two days in the Dou Ling realm before being forcefully pushed to Dou Wang by the effects of the Life Devouring Pill.

He was still quite unfamiliar with many aspects of the Dou Ling stage, so naturally, he had to get accustomed to them.

As for Yao Tianhuo, Lin Feng simply handed him off to the Treasure-Seeking Division.

That place came into contact with all kinds of rare and bizarre items daily—perhaps they’d actually come across the materials needed for Yao Tianhuo’s resurrection.

Besides, Lin Feng had already used some subtle tricks within pills to secretly bind the life and death of those people.

So he had no fear of them leaking any information about Yao Tianhuo.

After all, revealing Yao Tianhuo’s existence would not only be extremely dangerous—it wouldn’t bring them any benefits either.

As long as they weren’t complete idiots, no one would do something that foolish.

Half a month later, Lin Feng sat inside the alchemy room, with several dozen jade bottles placed neatly beside him.

These pills were the fruits of his relentless, day-and-night refining efforts over the past two weeks.

The process had not only allowed him to gain familiarity with the Dou Ling realm…

It had also fulfilled the pill demand of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion for the next few months.

Of course, every pill he refined was at least peak fourth-tier, with the highest grade reaching fifth-tier.

As for sixth-tier, due to his current Dou Qi level being too low, he simply couldn’t manage it yet.

The lower-tier pills were all left to be refined by the other alchemists in Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

After all this time, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion now had, aside from Lin Feng, two fourth-tier and five third-tier alchemists.

Some of them had joined after the collapse of Feng City, having chosen to pledge allegiance here.

Putting away the jade bottles, Lin Feng then took out a Green Colored Lotus Platform.

Looking at the Green Lotus Core Flame that had recovered significantly atop it, a flood of memories surged through his mind.

After a long while, he couldn’t help but sigh softly:”After everything that’s happened, it turns out I’ll be the one to devour you after all.”

At first, he had intended to use this Heavenly Flame to trade with the Inner Academy’s Elder Huo… …to exchange for Earth Class cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques, and to provide Xiao Yixian with a Heavenly Flame during her poison pill condensation.

Later, after failing to join Jia Nan Academy, and gaining power through the Life Devouring Pill…

He changed his mind and began plotting to obtain Flame Mantra, intending to subdue the flame for himself later.

But he never expected that ”later” would take nearly two full years.

Shaking his head, he cast those scattered thoughts aside.

Then, Lin Feng lightly tapped his storage ring and retrieved a small transparent jade bottle.

Inside the bottle, a blood-red pill, about the size of a longan, lay quietly.

Through the reflection of the jade bottle, faint shadows could be seen within the red pill.

As he gently shook it, it seemed like there was still liquid swaying within it.

This pill was none other than a fifth-tier pill—Blood Lotus Essence Pill.

Since he had already gathered the ingredients back when he was in the Jia Ma Empire, and also obtained the recipe from Han Feng, Lin Feng had saved a lot of preparation time and directly refined it.

After taking out the Blood Lotus Essence Pill, Lin Feng retrieved another jade box from his storage ring.

He gently placed the box onto the black stone tiles on the floor. Instantly, a faint chill spread outward, forming a thin layer of ice on the ground.

A misty white cold fog slowly swirled around the jade box, radiating a mysterious and ethereal aura.

Contained within this box was the Ice Spirit Cold Fountain he had obtained from Gu Te two years ago.

He hadn’t had any use for it until now—but finally, it was time to put it to good use.

Looking at the two items on the ground, Lin Feng then took out a gray pebble-sized stone about the size of a thumb.

This stone was smooth and flawless like jade, without the slightest imperfection.

Within the core of the stone, a faint blue glow pulsed slowly, like a tiny, living insect wriggling gently inside.

This was an Acceptance Soul, something only found in high-grade energy stones and even then, only by chance.

Though not very useful on its own, its rarity made it extremely valuable.

Of course, this Acceptance Soul wasn’t something Lin Feng had purchased—it was one of the treasures offered by Gu Te.

Since devouring a Heavenly Flame was far riskier than absorbing a beast flame, Lin Feng thoroughly checked and confirmed everything before finally turning his gaze toward the lotus seat.

Staring at the flickering green flame in the center of the lotus, Lin Feng took out the Green Colored Lotus Platform and sat down cross-legged atop it.

Not long ago, he had once again used some Core Quenching Body Milk.

Now that he was at Three-Star Dou Ling, he was finally ready to attempt subduing the 19th-ranked Heavenly Flame.

He figured his chances of success were quite high.

Taking a deep breath of the scorching air, he used Dou Qi to pull the jade bottle over and poured out the Blood Lotus Essence Pill, swallowing it.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it dissolved into a cold, chilling energy that rapidly spread through every part of his meridians.

Eventually, it permeated deeply into his bones and meridians, like layers of bloody membranes.

As the blood membranes seeped through his body, a sudden wave of pain erupted within him.

Trickles of blood began seeping out from his pores.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng’s body was drenched in crimson blood, making for a rather gruesome sight.

Shortly after appearing, the blood rapidly congealed, forming a blood-red keratinous layer.

These layers not only wrapped around every part of Lin Feng’s body, but even sealed shut his eyes completely.

The blood-colored armor, like an impenetrable shell, tightly encased and protected him from head to toe.
