”Besides, with so many powerful enemies around me, if my strength isn’t enough, I might die one day without even knowing how it happened.”

Thinking of Xiao Yan, Gu Xun’er, and the Three Leaders of the Pill Tower, a trace of helplessness flashed through Lin Feng’s eyes.

These people were truly pushing him too hard. If he didn’t increase his strength soon, he might not even live to see the next day. A moment later, Lin Feng shook his head, forcing away the distractions in his mind.

After a brief pause for thought, he reached out, grabbed the dark-green flame that was continuously releasing a toxic mist, and swallowed the Ghostly Poison Flame in one gulp.

After all, he had already spent quite some time refining and adapting to this Heavenly Flame. Its resistance toward him wasn’t nearly as fierce as those other, unfamiliar flames.

Moreover, his strength had already reached the Half-Step Dou Zun realm. Even without the help of other heavenly treasures, he was confident he could subdue it.

Once the Ghostly Poison Flame entered Lin Feng’s body, he didn’t feel the searing, agonizing pain that usually came with refining a new Heavenly Flame.

Instead, the flame seemed surprisingly cooperative, obediently following his will as it roamed throughout his body. However, when the Ghostly Poison Flame entered the Flame Mantra meridians, it seemed to sense an invisible danger.

It suddenly became much less obedient — resisting his commands within the meridians and sending out repeated signals as if pleading for him to stop. Clearly, it did not wish to be completely refined.

But Lin Feng paid no heed to its resistance. Instead, he continued to circulate his Dou Qi, forcing it to keep moving through his meridians.

”Boom!”

Not long after, Lin Feng found that the power of his soul imprint alone could no longer suppress the growing resistance of the Ghostly Poison Flame.

The dark-green fire burst forth inside his body, spreading in all directions. The violent flames crashed wildly against his meridians, trying to break free and escape this deadly trap.

However, Lin Feng had long anticipated this. The instant the dark-green fire erupted, his mind stirred — and a dark-red flame surged forth, wrapping protectively around his body to prevent internal damage.

”Ssshhh—”

As the two flames — one dark-green, one crimson — violently clashed and corroded each other, waves of toxic energy rippled through Lin Feng’s body.

However, those shockwaves were quickly absorbed by the barrier of Heavenly Flame he had set up earlier, leaving him completely unharmed.

At the same time, relying on his stronger Heavenly Flame and his nearly endless flow of Dou Qi, Lin Feng swiftly forced the rampaging Ghostly Poison Flame back into submission.

The once-fierce and rebellious flame now appeared weak, pitiful, and helpless as it was slowly pushed toward his dantian.

”Bang!”

After an entire day of nonstop effort, the Ghostly Poison Flame finally arrived within Lin Feng’s dantian, where it came face-to-face with his other already-absorbed Heavenly Flames.

The moment they met, both sides reacted… enthusiastically.

So, enthusiastically, in fact, that Lin Feng’s fused flame and the Ghostly Poison Flame immediately began trying to devour each other in a fierce struggle for dominance.

But Lin Feng, who was already a seasoned expert in absorbing Heavenly Flames, was not about to let that happen. He quickly activated his Flame Mantra, using its unique Dou Qi to separate the two flames.

At the same time, he continuously circulated his Dou Qi, gradually pushing the two Heavenly Flames closer together, forcing them into fusion. As the fusion process continued, Lin Feng’s Dou Qi cultivation began to change subtly.

However, even though the Ghostly Poison Flame had previously absorbed quite a bit of Dou Qi from Xiao Yixian, it still wasn’t enough to propel Lin Feng all the way to the Dou Zun realm.

Naturally, Lin Feng also noticed this shortcoming.

So, right after fully fusing the Ghostly Poison Flame with his other flames, he reached into his storage ring, took out the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, and swallowed it in one gulp — then began refining it with practiced ease.

However, just as he was focusing on breaking through to Dou Zun, far away in Holy Pill City, Xiao Yan and the three Pill Tower Leaders discovered that Lin Feng had been missing for nearly a month, and they couldn’t figure out why.

Ever since the last time they discussed things at the Small Pill Tower, he had never shown up again. This situation instantly filled Xiao Yan and the Three Leaders with unease.

So the three Pill Tower leaders used the excuse of delivering pills to bring Xiao Yan to the Ye Courtyard to see Lin Feng.

Unfortunately, even then Lin Feng didn’t appear.

Only Xiao Yixian and Ye Xin Lan came out to meet them, accepting the six eight-colored eighth-tier pills the Three Leaders offered. Seeing this, the Three Leaders immediately sensed something was wrong.

They quickly used their soul power to covertly scan the Ye Courtyard. From start to finish, the three of them could not detect the slightest trace of Lin Feng’s presence.

Realizing this, the Three Leaders immediately took their leave and departed the Ye Courtyard with Xiao Yan.

”Xiao Yan, while you were at the Ye Courtyard just now, aside from that white-clothed woman, did you sense the aura of any other Heavenly Flames?”

After leaving the Ye Courtyard, the Three Leaders looked at Xiao Yan and asked.

”No.”

Xiao Yan’s expression was grim as he shook his head.

”Damn, that brat must have been afraid we’d disturb him, so he sneaked away to break through to Dou Zun!”

At that moment, the four of them understood — Lin Feng had quietly left Holy Pill City while they were handling affairs.

As for the reason he left, they could think of no explanation other than a breakthrough. After all, Lin Feng had already reached the Half-Step Dou Zun level before. His sudden disappearance now only pointed to one possibility: a breakthrough.

”Then we’ll take this opportunity to send people out to search for him. If we find him, we’ll deliberately cause trouble so his breakthrough fails!”

A ruthless glint flashed through Xiao Yan’s eyes as he clenched his fists.

Although he hungered for revenge, he was not naive. Given such a golden chance, he certainly wouldn’t pass it up. Hearing this, Xuan Yi nodded in agreement, ”Xiao Yan is right. Although the chance is slim, it’s worth a try.”

”If we forcefully interrupt that brat’s breakthrough, he’ll suffer grave injuries. Killing or maiming him will be nothing more than our command.”

Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi wholeheartedly agreed.

They couldn’t directly show themselves to cause trouble, but they could dispatch reliable Dou Zuns to search for Lin Feng. If the brat’s breakthrough were interrupted and the backlash hit him, even a one-star Dou Zun might be able to kill him.

They could not afford to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With that in mind, the group quickly vanished from the spot and went to carry out their plan.
