After thinking long and hard, Lin Feng finally concluded that only one place could possibly have those items.

Looking at Zi Yan, who was smiling proudly as if asking for praise, he twitched at the corner of his mouth and said, ”Don’t tell me… you looted the Alchemist Association of the Jia Ma Empire?”

”You’re so smart! On the day of the final round of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, that Dou Huang old man who was a threat to me left his lair to preside over the finals.

That gave me the perfect chance. I swept through the core region, grabbed everything I could, and only then was discovered by a guarding Dou Wang outside. But don’t worry, he didn’t see my face.”

As she spoke, Zi Yan stood with her hands on her hips, full of pride.

When Lin Feng heard this, he finally realized what it was he had forgotten to do when Zi Yan left Black-Corner Region.

He forgot to warn this little devil—who feared neither heaven nor earth—not to go around stealing medicinal ingredients!

Now, all he could do was pray that Xiao Yan and his master hadn’t discovered this yet.

”You little troublemaker, you almost ruined my plan. All of this—confiscated.”

As he spoke, Lin Feng waved his hand and swept all the items off the stone platform into his storage ring.

”What?! That was my hard-earned loot! How dare you steal my stuff—give me back my blood and sweat!”

Upon seeing her spoils vanish, Zi Yan instantly transformed into a little tigress, flailing her arms as she charged at him.

Unfortunately for her, Lin Feng casually extended a hand and pressed it against her forehead. With her short little arms, she couldn’t reach him at all.

After suppressing the little girl, Lin Feng took her to the spatial barrier.

With Zi Yan’s help, they successfully left the space and then flew at high speed toward Spirit Mountain City.

He had been gone for a long time, and it was time to check on the situation at Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Otherwise, who knew what those desperate criminals from Black-Corner Region might have done in his absence.

”Pavilion Master.”

Summoned by Lin Feng, who had just returned, several people hurried to his courtyard to gather.

”I’ve been in seclusion for a while. Has anything major happened in the pavilion?”

Looking at the department heads below, Lin Feng asked casually.

Feeling the much stronger aura emanating from him compared to before, all of them were inwardly shocked.

Then Pang Sheng, the head of the treasure sales department, stepped forward and said, ”Thanks to the deterrence of your rank as a Fifth-tier Alchemist, and the fact that our own strength has improved, no strong enemies dared to cause trouble. However, most of the pills you previously refined have been sold. We need to replenish our stock.”

”Mm. These are some pills I’ve recently refined. Go restock the inventory with them first.”

Seeing that his forces were still intact, Lin Feng nodded slightly and tossed out a low-grade storage ring.

”Oh right, Pavilion Master, in three months, Black Seal City will host its annual auction. Here is the catalog of items to be auctioned.”

At that moment, Wang An from the Treasure-Hunting Division stepped forward and handed him a golden booklet.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng immediately recognized it as the auction that Xiao Yan would participate in during his first trip to Black-Corner Region, according to the original storyline.

He took the booklet, asked a few more questions, and then dismissed the others to return to their tasks.

However, he kept two people behind—Niu Tuo and Zhang Shi—both of whom had recently advanced to Nine-Star Dou Ling.

Looking at the two, Lin Feng placed two jade bottles on the table and said, ”These contain a high fifth-tier Pill that I developed myself, the ’Supreme King Pill’. Its effect is that it provides around an eighty percent chance for someone at the peak of Dou Ling to break through to Dou Wang.”

Upon hearing this, the two men’s eyes instantly lit up with blazing excitement.

They knew full well that they had only broken through to Nine-Star Dou Ling thanks to Lin Feng’s help.

As for Dou Wang, they had spent over a decade striving toward it, and even then, there was no guarantee they’d ever reach it in their lifetime.

But now, all they had to do was swallow the pill before them, and they’d have an eighty percent chance of reaching that dream realm.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Feng curled his lips slightly, then added with a calm smile, ”However, once you take this pill—your lives will be in my hands.”

”This…”

Hearing this, the two men exchanged glances. The fire in their eyes dimmed significantly.

With the kind of keen nerves honed by licking blood off the edge of a blade, who would be willing to hand their life completely over to someone else?

Yet, when they thought about the tremendous effects of the pill, they found themselves unable to voice a rejection.

Seated at the head, Lin Feng did not urge them. He simply closed his eyes and rested silently.

He didn’t believe the two would reject these pills.

After all, with their level of talent, even reaching Dou Wang before dying of old age would be an act of ancestral blessing.

Now such a great opportunity was in front of them. As long as their brains weren’t fried, they knew what choice to make.

”Thank you for the Pavilion Master’s reward. We are willing to entrust our lives to you.”

As expected, after hesitating for a moment, the two ultimately chose to accept the pills.

With a flick of his finger, Lin Feng sent the pills flying to them and said casually, ”Go take them. A great battle will be coming soon.”

”Yes.”

Although Niu Tuo and Zhang Shi could sense that this so-called battle wouldn’t be simple, they didn’t dare ask too many questions and could only retreat.

Anyway, no matter what, it was never wrong to increase their combat power first.

”Lin Feng, when will my Mighty Huang Pill be ready?”

As soon as they left, Zi Yan popped out from who knows where and asked Lin Feng eagerly.

”Stop rushing me. Take these pills for now. I’ll give you the actual Mighty Huang Pill tomorrow or the day after.”

Lin Feng flicked her little forehead with a helpless expression.

”Hmph! Not only do you not pay me, now you’re even hitting me!”

Zi Yan quickly collected the pills, pouted, and then covered her forehead, running off toward the nearby mountains and forests.

She was preparing to chat with some of the magical beasts there about medicinal herbs.

Watching her become increasingly mischievous, Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile.

Then, he took out the dazed-looking Xiao Cai, coaxing gently, ”Xiao Cai, can you ask the big sister inside your body to come out for a moment?”

”Ying~ Ying~”

The Heaven Swallowing Python shook its little snake head pitifully. It clearly didn’t want that mean woman who always bullied it to come out.

”There are three Fire-attribute Fifth-tier Pills~ Little one, look, don’t they smell amazing?”

Seeing its reluctance, Lin Feng simply pulled out a jade bottle, removed the stopper, and waved it temptingly in front of its eyes.

Xiao Cai resisted for a few seconds, but ultimately couldn’t hold out. Its little head began nodding like a drum.

After swallowing all three pills, its body suddenly emitted a burst of multicolored light. Then, the familiar delicate figure of Queen Medusa appeared right in Lin Feng’s arms.

”Speak. What business do you have with this Queen?”

As she spoke, Medusa’s luscious peach-like figure made no attempt to leave Lin Feng’s embrace, seemingly used to this by now.

Still, seeing Lin Feng proactively seek her out this time, Medusa was indeed a bit curious.

”Your Majesty, do you have any method to conceal my aura?”

Rubbing his hands with a smile, Lin Feng asked.

Upon hearing this, Medusa frowned and replied with slight impatience, ”That’s what you called me for? No, I don’t.”
