"Oh? I wonder what brilliant idea young friend Lin Feng has? Please speak frankly!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Yao Tianhuo became somewhat interested. In reality, he was quite passive at this moment. The two people before him were veritable prodigies, both at the Dou Huang level, not people he could currently command. If his soul didn't recover soon, he would perish in this unknown magma land in a few dozen minutes.
Moreover, one of them was an alchemist. To be able to subdue a strange flame at such a young age, their teacher must have doted on them immensely. With their teacher's help, restoring his soul to its peak state shouldn't be a problem.
"Elder Yao, to be honest, I am a peak sixth-grade alchemist. In fact, I currently possess a set of herbs for restoring soul power. After returning to the surface, I can immediately restore Elder Yao's soul."
Lin Feng paused here, observing Yao Tianhuo's expression. Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Yao Tianhuo's face lit up with uncontrollable joy.
At this critical moment, he unexpectedly encountered such a young man; it was as if heaven had spared him. Yao Tianhuo's joy was beyond words.
"More importantly, does Elder Yao have any intention of resurrecting?"
Lin Feng stopped there, knowing they were all intelligent enough not to be so explicit.
"Resurrect? Master Lin Feng, do you have a method to resurrect me?" Yao Tianhuo was so excited he almost plucked out his own soul beard. Heaven had shown mercy; after slumbering in this magma land for hundreds of years, at this final moment, heaven had sent him this young man. Indeed, Yao Tianhuo's life was not meant to end.
Calming himself, Yao Tianhuo, being an old and shrewd man, understood Lin Feng's meaning, and the young, fallen heart flame in his palm surged.
"If you, young friend Lin Feng, can revive me, it won't just be this nascent strange fire," he waved his hand, and a scroll flew out of his storage ring, "this is my most powerful fighting technique—the Five-Wheel Fire Disc!"
"I obtained it from an ancient ruin. Its powerful fire control technique alone will greatly enhance your alchemy skills, young friend Lin Feng. More importantly, this fighting technique, or rather, the fire control method itself, has reached the Earth Rank. If five strange fires are used, its power is even comparable to the legendary Heaven Rank fighting techniques."
Yao Tianhuo stroked his beard slightly as he said this, "What do you think of my two rewards, young friend Lin Feng?"
"Not enough!"
Lin Feng shook his head slightly, not caring about Yao Tianhuo's expression, and continued speaking.
"In my humble opinion, Elder Yao must have been a Dou Zun in his lifetime, and perhaps not just an ordinary Dou Zun. Moreover, one of the requirements for his resurrection is a high-grade seventh-rank pill, as well as the soul-restoring spiritual items that Elder Yao needs."
Lin Feng waved his hand slightly, stopping Yao Tianhuo's slightly parted lips.
"I am not yet twenty years old, yet I am already an eight-star Dou Huang and a peak sixth-rank alchemist. What do you think of my talent, Elder Yao?"
"Young friend Lin Feng's talent is unparalleled, even in my era in Zhongzhou."
"In that case, Elder Yao, why not place a bet on whether I can reach the eighth-rank alchemist level in the future!"
Lin Feng raised his voice slightly, stepped forward, and stared intently at the suspended Yao Tianhuo.
"I wish to invite Elder Yao to become my guardian after his resurrection. If I later become an eighth-grade alchemist, Elder Yao will naturally provide me with plenty of pills! What do you think, Elder Yao?"
Lin Feng's words caused a moment of silence. After an unknown amount of time, Yao Tianhuo's voice echoed through the space.
"Very well, perhaps this is fate. Since Heaven has arranged for young friend Lin Feng to appear before me at this time, perhaps it was all for this moment." Yao Tianhuo sighed. "Young friend Lin Feng, I agree to your conditions."
Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. He wasn't Xiao Yan; once he arrived in Zhongzhou, he would truly have no background whatsoever. Even Zi Yan, his only backer, couldn't offer him much assistance before Dragon Island was unified.
Just then, Yao Tianhuo waved his hand, and the Infant Fallen Heart Flame and the Five-Wheel Fire Disc scroll flew towards Lin Feng.
"Young friend Lin Feng, since I've already agreed, I'll entrust the Strange Flame and the Battle Technique to you. As for the Soul Recovery Elixir, you can refine it when you have time after you leave."
After sealing the Strange Flame separately using the Five Elements Sealing Technique, Lin Feng turned to look at Zi Yan, who was quietly observing.
"Zi Yan, we have enough beast fire this time. The upcoming Dou Zong-level lizardmen are somewhat dangerous for us. If we attract higher-level lizardmen, we might get caught up in their clutches."
Hearing Lin Feng mention the lizardmen, the Heavenly Fire Venerable's expression changed.
"Young friend Lin Feng, young lady, you mustn't underestimate these lizardmen. When I failed to absorb two different flames, although I was severely injured, I shouldn't have ended up in this state."
Yao Tianhuo's face still showed a trace of lingering fear as he recalled the incident.
"These peculiar creatures even include a high-level Dou Zun. If it weren't for their special nature and lack of understanding of spatial power, I would have perished long ago."
"Don't worry, Elder Yao, I am well aware of how terrifying these lizardmen are."
"Zi Yan, after we leave the barrier, release your Dragon Seal with all your energy. After half an hour, regardless of whether there's a reaction, we must leave this place as quickly as possible and return to the surface."
Thinking that the old Dragon Emperor might sense Zi Yan's Dragon Seal aura, Lin Feng still didn't want to give up this highly probable opportunity.
"Dragon Seal!"
Although she didn't understand the meaning behind Lin Feng's instruction, Zi Yan, who trusted him implicitly, didn't think too much about it. She quickly formed hand seals, and a faint dragon's might slowly emerged. At its peak, Zi Yan instantly appeared outside the space and unleashed a powerful attack towards the nearby magma.
"Boom!"
A full-force attack from a mid-level Dou Huang, especially from a prodigy like Zi Yan, would have been fatal even to a typical peak Dou Huang, if not for a moment's carelessness.
"Elder Yao, let's prepare quickly. Although those lizardmen don't use spatial power, if we provoke a Dou Zun-level lizardman in our current situation, it will be dangerous."
Yao Tianhuo understood the situation and didn't say much. His soul entered his storage ring and slowly floated to Lin Feng's side.
"Young friend Lin Feng, I entrust my safety to you."
After carefully storing the storage ring, Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then collected the remaining bones of Yao Tianhuo's body. Although several hundred years had passed, it was still the body of a Dou Zun, and perhaps it could be used to revive him in the future.
