”Husband, what are you looking at? Why are you gasping and sighing like that?”

Seeing Lin Feng inhaling sharply one moment and exhaling the next, the three women’s expressions turned a little strange.

After all, that kind of sound usually only came from him when they were doing something under the blankets. The three of them immediately leaned forward, their curious gazes fixed on the dark red scroll in Lin Feng’s hand.

”Nine-nine—mmph!”

Ye Xin Lan let out a startled shriek the instant she saw the scroll.

Fortunately, Xiao Yixian reacted fast. She reached out her slender hand and quickly covered Ye Xin Lan’s mouth. Even though they thought the chance of someone eavesdropping here was nearly zero, it was always better to stay cautious.

Once her mouth was covered, Ye Xin Lan realized her mistake and nodded quickly—she understood it was best to be careful.

”Mmph, I know, Sister Xian’er, let me go now.”

Her voice was muffled and unclear, but as she spoke, Ye Xin Lan patted Xiao Yixian’s slim waist, signaling her to let go. Xiao Yixian sighed softly and released her.

”Husband, did you find that thing in the storage ring from yesterday?”

After letting go, she asked curiously.

”Yeah.”

Lin Feng nodded, then smiled. ”There were two of these scrolls inside that ring. This time, we’ve really hit the jackpot!”

”Let me try touching it too! I want to feel what it’s like.”

Hearing there was another scroll, Xiao Yixian’s beautiful eyes lit up. Her fair, delicate body lunged forward as she straddled Lin Feng excitedly.

Seeing her so eager, Lin Feng could only smile and shake his head helplessly. Then, he manipulated the Bone Flame Ring and took out the other pale white scroll, handing it to her.

The moment she got what she wanted, Xiao Yixian immediately unrolled it and began examining it carefully, her face filled with fascination. Meanwhile, Lin Feng noticed Ye Xin Lan staring at the dark red Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill formula in his hand, her eyes brimming with curiosity.

”Here, go ahead and play with it.”

Lin Feng pinched her smooth, delicate cheek, then passed the scroll over.

”Mm!”

Ye Xin Lan beamed with joy and carefully accepted the dark red scroll.

As for Feng Qing’er, after giving both scrolls a curious glance, she quickly lost interest. After all, she was a magical beast—alchemy wasn’t something she could do. To her, these pill formulas were just fancy paper.

So after her initial surprise faded, she simply crawled back under the blankets and went back to sleep. Once Lin Feng handed over the scroll, his soul power dove back into the Bone Flame Ring’s storage space, continuing to explore the items within.

As his soul perception swept through, he soon discovered several pill cauldrons placed in an open area. Among them, one half-zhang-tall cauldron—completely black and covered in strange flame patterns—instantly drew his attention.

Those flame markings almost seemed alive, faintly wriggling like living creatures. Though Lin Feng hadn’t personally used it yet, his experience as an alchemist was enough for him to judge—

Even his Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron, ranked thirteenth on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, was far inferior to this one.

”Could it be… the Black Demon Cauldron?!”

After a brief daze, Lin Feng’s eyes widened in delight. Aside from the Black Demon Cauldron, he couldn’t think of any other cauldron Yao Chen might possess that could surpass the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron.

”Heh, what luck! I can’t believe that guy Xiao Yan actually left the Black Demon Cauldron in here!”

Thinking about the origins of the Black Demon Cauldron, Lin Feng couldn’t help but lick his lips in excitement. After all, this cauldron ranked eighth on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking!

It stood five ranks higher than his Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron!

”This guy Xiao Yan really gifted me a huge present!”

Staring at the massive, pitch-black cauldron before him, Lin Feng couldn’t hide the excitement in his laughter. The treasures hidden within this ring had completely exceeded his expectations—so many that it left him nearly speechless.

If he had to describe it, this was basically a treasure vault filled with an overwhelming number of pill formulas, refining methods, cultivation manuals, Dou Techniques, and alchemy tools.

Many of these treasures were priceless, things that would drive almost every eighth-tier alchemist across the continent mad with desire. Thinking of that, Lin Feng happily extended his hand to gently touch the cauldron’s seemingly living surface.

Clang!

The moment his palm brushed against the Black Demon Cauldron, the entire cauldron suddenly trembled. A powerful wave of energy burst forth, sweeping violently through the space.

The shockwave was so fierce that Lin Feng’s soul perception was completely overwhelmed in an instant—he couldn’t even resist.

His soul perception, which had been touching the cauldron, was suddenly shattered without warning. Immediately after, his connection with the Bone Flame Ring was severed.

”This cauldron… I didn’t expect it to have a soul imprint! Aside from its original owner, no one else can use it.”

Opening his eyes abruptly, Lin Feng frowned as he realized what had happened. In that instant, he understood why Xiao Yan hadn’t taken the Black Demon Cauldron with him. It wasn’t that Xiao Yan didn’t want to—he simply couldn’t use it either!

”This is troublesome. A cauldron that ranks on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking already possesses a high level of sentience, and if Yao Chen deliberately imprinted his soul upon it… unless someone with soul power far surpassing his intervenes, it’s impossible to break that double-layer protection.”

Lin Feng toyed with the black ring in his palm, his mood growing increasingly complicated. He had found such a remarkable cauldron, yet he couldn’t use it at all!

The situation was so ironic that it made him feel genuinely frustrated.

”Sigh… Yao Chen’s soul realm far exceeds mine. With the strength of this soul imprint, there’s no way I can break it.”

Letting out a deep sigh, Lin Feng reluctantly clenched the Bone Flame Ring in his hand, then got off the bed and began putting on his clothes.

He’d already taken Yao Chen’s entire collection—there was no way he would ever return it to Xiao Yan. Then, glancing at Xiao Yixian, who was still happily studying the ninth-tier pill formula, Lin Feng called out with a faint smile, ”Xian’er, come with me for a bit.”

”What is it?”

Hearing him, Xiao Yixian reluctantly closed the scroll in her hands, tilting her head in confusion.

”Xiao Yan still has the Bone Chilling Flame, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, sealed within him. We’re going to take it. But if I try to strip the flame myself, he might sense the type of cultivation technique I practice—so it’s better if you handle it.”

Lin Feng explained with a light chuckle.

”Alright.”

The moment she heard they were going after Xiao Yan’s Heavenly Flame, Xiao Yixian nodded decisively.
