Lin Feng, far away in the Black Corner Region, was naturally unaware of all this. At this time, after Xiao Yi Xian's condition stabilized and Cai Lin and Zi Yan went into seclusion, he too entered a long period of seclusion.
With Xiao Yan having already advanced to the Dou Shi realm, Lin Feng, supported by enormous resources, naturally progressed even faster. He had already reached the eight-star Dou Huang realm.
Logically speaking, it would be extremely difficult for Lin Feng to advance even a small step beyond the intermediate Dou Huang level in the past six months, so why was he progressing so quickly? Naturally, it was due to Xie Bi Yan's gifts, the assistance of the Five Elements Pill that Lin Feng had developed, and the consumption of a Royal-grade Pill.
During this time, Lin Feng naturally also gave the Royal-grade Pill and the Five Elements Pill to Zi Yan. Of course, after refining so many high-level pills, Lin Feng's own spiritual herbs were running low.
This was the reason he had emerged from seclusion this time; however, he wouldn't immediately go to the Black Corner Region to exchange for spiritual herbs. After all, it was still unknown when Little Fairy Doctor would emerge from seclusion, so a sane person was needed to protect her at this time.
Having figured out the key to this, Lin Feng wasn't in a hurry. He took out a set of leisure equipment from his storage ring, laid out a few spirit fruits and fine wines, and, with the rushing waterfall as his backdrop, took out the inheritance left by Yao Chen and began to study its profound mysteries regarding seventh-grade alchemists.
"Crack."
Just as Lin Feng was leisurely studying the advanced alchemy techniques, a strange sound caught his attention. Before he could even observe, a petite figure appeared before him.
"You, Lin Feng! I've been diligently cultivating in seclusion, and you're enjoying yourself here!"
Miss Zi Yan's eyes were unfriendly. She pulled Lin Feng up, then lay down herself, picked up a spirit fruit from the table, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Ah, this is the life I should be enjoying!"
Pulled up by Zi Yan, Lin Feng stood to the side, holding Yao Chen's inheritance scroll, watching the young lady's gluttonous eating and drinking, his lips twitching slightly.
"Forget it, she's just a child a few thousand years old. Why should I, a dignified sixth-grade peak alchemist
, bother with her?" Lin Feng silently regulated his emotions before asking,
"Zi Yan, what realm have you reached in the past six months?"
Mentioning this, Zi Yan stopped her playful antics, took another sip of fine wine, and her lips parted slightly.
"Hehehe, Lin Feng, after six months of refinement, I've reached the four-star Dou Huang realm. Moreover, I haven't even used the royal-grade pills you gave me yet. Hmph, I guarantee that within five years, I will surpass old man Su Qian."
Hearing Zi Yan's words, Lin Feng felt everything was reasonable. Zi Yan's bloodline was inherently noble, originating from the nine-star Dou Sheng peak, or even the half-emperor level Old Dragon Emperor. Coupled with Lin Feng's generous use of pills, and given her beastly digestive abilities, this progress was within the normal range.
"It's a pity that the True Dragon Body Refining Technique hasn't improved much lately. Lin Feng, after Sister Cailin and Sister Xian'er come out of seclusion, let's go to the Black Corner Region and find some evil people to fight!"
As she spoke, Miss Zi Yan clenched her little hands, waving her fists forward excitedly.
"That won't do. However, if you want to fight, I know a place where we can find enough opponents to fight freely."
Lin Feng recalled the lava-filled land in the original story, with the Five Elements Sealing Barrier in place, so there was no need to worry about any danger to his life.
"Lin Feng, what are we waiting for? Let's go now."
"Bang!"
"Lin Feng, you dare hit my head? I'll fight you to the death!"
He stretched out a hand and pressed down on the little dragon girl who was baring her teeth and claws. "What are you thinking with that little head of yours? Your Sister Cailin and Sister Xian'er haven't come out of seclusion yet. What if something happens to them while they're in seclusion?"
"Oh," the impatient Zi Yan realized and was no longer in a hurry.
"However, it's not like there's no way!" Lin Feng, seeing Zi Yan's state, suddenly had an idea. The lava was located underground at Canaan Academy. But such a large lava area must have other passages leading there, and perhaps his current location could lead there.
"Lin Feng, what's your idea? Tell me quickly!" Hearing that Lin Feng had a solution, Zi Yan immediately perked up again.
"Zi Yan, we'll do it like this..."
After explaining everything to Zi Yan, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, his powerful soul force emanating from his body. Fortunately, under his precise control, Zi Yan felt no discomfort.
His soul force extended deep into the earth, sensing the place where fire-attribute energy was most abundant and surging. As his soul force spread deeper into the earth, various colors of heaven and earth energy appeared in his perception.
First, there was a cool energy. Lin Feng knew that this was because of the large waterfall flowing nearby, making the water-attribute heaven and earth energy in this area exceptionally abundant. Of course, deep in the earth, the most prevalent energy was naturally earth-yellow earth-attribute heaven and earth energy.
Lin Feng ignored them, relying on his soul cultivation technique, he disregarded the consumption and explored deep into the earth's core.
"Rumble!"
After an unknown amount of time, and after exploring to an unknown distance into the earth, just as he felt his soul force becoming increasingly difficult to penetrate, a scorching and explosive energy suddenly appeared in his perception. With a
whoosh
, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with divine light.
"Found it!"
"Lin Feng, how is it?"
Looking at Zi Yan's expectant eyes, Lin Feng waved his hand slightly, signaling her to step back. Then, a surge of battle qi enveloped the cave where Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor were in seclusion, to prevent his actions from affecting them.
"Mid-level Profound Rank Battle Skill—Piercing Heaven and Earth!"
With a clap of his hands, a pillar of battle qi shot into the sky. Ever since Elder Zhang had demonstrated this skill before Lin Feng, he had immediately used his elder's merit points to acquire it.
Although it was only a mid-level Profound Rank battle skill, its power in Lin Feng's hands was naturally incomparable.
The hard earth, like tofu, offered no resistance whatsoever, pierced through by the energy pillar, penetrating into the endless depths of the earth.
Perhaps the location of the magma here was indeed quite deep, because even with Lin Feng's cultivation as an eight-star Dou Huang, he had to use multiple Dou Techniques before finally reaching the underground magma that emitted endless explosive energy.
After reinforcing the Dou Qi barrier again, Lin Feng said to the curious Zi Yan,
"Since you're curious, let's go down and take a look!"
*Boom!*
The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame rose in his palm, illuminating the dark entrance. Before Zi Yan could ask, his Dou Qi transformed into wings, and he flew downwards first.
"Lin Feng, wait for me!"
"..."
