In the capital of Jiama, after capturing Protector Lu, Lin Feng successively released the Soul Palace's control over the Yunlan Sect. Following Lin Feng's reminder, Xiao Yan quickly headed towards Wutan City.
Given the original story's near-annihilation of the Xiao family, leaving only a few descendants, Lin Feng naturally didn't mind using his words to gain Xiao Yan's gratitude. Of course, this gratitude would only be realized after the Soul Palace couldn't find any Xiao family members in Wutan City and destroyed the city.
As for the others in Wutan City, Lin Feng had told Xiao Yan to try to take them with him; if they were unlucky enough to not leave, Lin Feng couldn't help it. Even he, in front of the Soul Palace, had to hide and develop. Even
with the three drops of the Dragon Emperor's essence blood, which would allow him to be unafraid of Dou Sheng experts, Lin Feng preferred to use those three drops of essence blood for cultivation. If he could learn from the Sword God of Shili Slope and cultivate cautiously to the level of Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng, that would be even better.
After Xiao Yan returned to Wutan City, Lin Feng did not immediately return to Canaan Academy, but instead went back to the capital of Jia Ma. He asked Fa Ma to issue a notice throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire, announcing a month-long exchange of pills for cultivation techniques. Anyone who brought a cultivation technique could choose from the first to sixth grade pills that Lin Feng could refine, and Lin Feng guaranteed not to reveal the exchanged techniques.
This news caused a sensation throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire; now, who in the entire Jia Ma Empire did not know the name Lin Feng? Since that day, beams of energy would frequently shoot into the sky from the hall of the Alchemist Guild.
The people of Jia Ma Empire had long since become accustomed to these occasional tremors, and from their frequent conversations, it was clear that Lin Feng had shocked them.
Although they didn't know why this alchemist master Lin Feng needed to collect so many cultivation techniques, the reputation of an alchemist master was obviously trustworthy, and with so many fellow alchemists present, there was clearly no need for them to worry.
After a powerful cultivator used his ancestral technique to obtain a pill called the Five Elements Pill, advancing two realms in a single day, the craze clearly reached its peak.
The month-long period passed quickly, and the number of people frantically flocking to the Alchemist Guild decreased. Many were unwilling to reveal their cultivation techniques, as these concerned their secrets. Moreover, many cultivated techniques that were widely known, and Lin Feng, not being charitable, naturally wouldn't give away duplicate techniques with pills.
Even so, Lin Feng still acquired hundreds of cultivation techniques, but at a great cost: refining pills day and night. Since Lin Feng didn't have all the pills on hand, he had to refine them on the spot, making the source of medicinal herbs a problem.
Fortunately, Fa Ma was quite helpful. Although he didn't know why so many techniques were being collected, he still allowed Lin Feng to exchange them for medicinal herbs within the guild, adhering to the rules of alchemists. Therefore, the alchemists in the capital had mixed feelings, but the joy certainly outweighed the hardship.
Lin Feng had taken away so many medicinal herbs, leaving them without any for practice, a fact Lin Feng was well aware of. Therefore, he set up his pill-refining area in the Alchemist Guild's exchange area, allowing other alchemists to observe.
"Lin Feng, you've gone to Canaan Academy this time; you probably won't be back for a long time!"
Inside a tall pavilion, Lin Feng and Fa Ma sat facing each other, drinking the spiritual tea Lin Feng had prepared. Fa Ma suddenly spoke.
"Pharaoh," Lin Feng was taken aback, unsure of Fa Ma's meaning.
"Lin Feng, you must continue to shine brightly in the Pill Tower, and one day, return to the capital of Gama and tell this old man about your glorious achievements in that sacred place!"
"Hahaha, Pharaoh, ten years!" Seeing the hopeful look in Fa Ma's eyes, Lin Feng's heart seemed to be touched, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up within him. He waved his hand.
"Pharaoh, within ten years, I will surely make my name, Lin Feng, resound throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent. At that time, even if I don't return, you will still know my deeds!"
Looking at the spirited young man before him, a hint of envy flashed in Fama's eyes. Then, he began to imagine the scene Lin Feng had described, his eyes filled with longing.
"Pharaoh," Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then pointed to Fama's brow, and a large amount of information entered his mind.
"This is the inheritance of a seventh-grade alchemist I obtained. Instead of waiting for my story, why doesn't Pharaoh try it himself?"
"Farewell, Pharaoh!"
A voice echoed within the room. After Pharaoh had absorbed some of the information, he slowly opened his eyes, only to find Lin Feng had vanished.
"Howl!"
Above the capital of Gama, a massive figure suddenly obscured a corner of the city, the roar of a griffin resounding throughout the entire capital. Just as the people of the capital were wondering why this powerful magical beast hadn't been killed after entering the capital's skies, a figure slowly appeared on the griffin's back.
"It's Master Lin Feng!"
"Master Lin Feng, I want to have your babies!
"
Seeing this, the Dou Wang powerhouses from the major forces of the capital also spread their Dou Qi wings and ascended into the sky.
"Goodbye, everyone!"
Lin Feng, however, had no intention of lingering. After waving to the crowd, the griffin beneath his feet howled again, its wings flapping violently, creating a massive gust of air that transformed into a black lightning bolt as it sped away into the distance.
"Master Lin Feng, goodbye!"
Within the capital of the Jia Ma Empire, those who witnessed this scene stopped what they were doing and shouted towards the sky, their hands cupped like megaphones. Everyone greatly admired Lin Feng, this approachable and exceptionally talented alchemist, who was unlike any other.
While Lin Feng was leaving, the Xiao family in Wutan City had finally completed the relocation of all its members. The renowned third young master of the Xiao family, famous throughout the Jia Ma Empire, once again donned his mysterious black cloak and headed towards the Black Corner Region, beginning a new round of training.
At the back mountain of the Yunlan Sect, three generations of the Yunlan Sect's lineage were gathered, discussing the future direction of the Yunlan Sect.
"Master, where did that black mist, emanating an evil aura, come from, and why is it connected to our sect?"
After Yun Shan activated a barrier, Yun Yun could no longer suppress her doubts and asked. Nalan Yanran, standing beside her, also looked curious. After a month, with the help of elixirs, she had recovered from her injuries and made further progress in her cultivation of Dou Qi.
"The matter dates back to when I went into seclusion to break through to the Dou Zong realm."
