”Then I can’t help you,” Zi Yan said, waving her tiny hand dismissively, her tone carrying a touch of helplessness. ”You know it too. The only thing I have is that Earth Class fist technique that old man Su Qian gave me.”

Lin Feng chuckled lightly.

”No worries. With Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s current standing, we may not be able to buy it right away, but with a little effort, getting our hands on a Mid- to Low-Grade Black Class sonic Dou Technique shouldn’t be a problem.”

”Fine then, I’ll head back to the Inner Academy now.”

With that, Zi Yan turned and trotted off, her short little legs moving briskly.

”Hold on—take these pills with you and deliver them to Han Yue, Liu Qing, and the others.”

With a flick of his finger, Lin Feng summoned several jade bottles from his storage ring and tossed them over.

”No problem.”

Catching the jade bottles, Zi Yan stashed them away, then turned around and said,

”Don’t go to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for now. The new students should have already entered the Inner Academy.

Each floor of the tower is guarded by instructors. If you go in, you’ll only be allowed to cultivate above the third level—it’s basically useless. Go any lower, and you risk getting caught by the instructors.”

”Got it. I still have some fire energy points left in there anyway. You can use them during this time.”

Lin Feng nodded slightly, then took out a fire crystal card and tossed it to her.

Zi Yan caught the card and immediately darted off toward the Inner Academy.

Once she was gone, Lin Feng called Wang An and instructed him to purchase a sonic-type Dou Technique.

After that, he turned and headed toward the treasure vault.

His current offensive Dou Techniques were sufficient, but when it came to fire control techniques, he still lacked one.

Such a technique would not only enhance the power of his beast flame in combat but also make refining pills smoother and more precise.

Now that he had some spare time, it was the perfect opportunity to see if he could find a suitable technique in the vault.

Rumble…

As the stone gate opened, Lin Feng walked straight to the Dou Technique section. Facing the hundreds of scrolls inside, he began to carefully search through them.

After a short while, he found a bright red scroll. On it were a few flowing, elegant characters:

High- Grade Black Class Fire Control Technique: Flame Condensing Art.

”High- Grade Black Class… guess I’ll settle for this for now.”

Lin Feng’s expression showed mild disinterest. He was already starting to look down on techniques of this level.

But fire control techniques were inherently rare and precious. With no better option available, this would have to do for now.

Exiting the treasure vault, Lin Feng pulled out Xiao Cai from his sleeve and coaxed gently,

”Xiao Cai, I need to head out for a bit. Can you let your sister come out for a while?”

”Ying-ying~”

Hearing her master had something to do, Xiao Cai blinked her purple eyes a few times. After thinking for a moment, she finally nodded her little head.

A rainbow glow flashed across her body, and in the next instant, a voluptuous figure appeared once more in Lin Feng’s embrace.

”Speak. Why are you looking for this queen?”

Medusa’s obsidian eyes stared at the young man in front of her as she asked slowly.

Lin Feng grinned ingratiatingly.

”Hehe, I’m going to be away for a while, and things have been kind of hectic lately… Could I trouble Your Majesty to take care of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion for me during this time?”

Medusa frowned slightly, then asked,

”What are you going to do?”

Lin Feng scratched the back of his head, laughing awkwardly.

”Remember the force we wiped out in the Black-Corner Region? I got an Earth Class movement technique from them. I want to take some time to cultivate it. That way, if I run into enemies, I’ll have a better chance of winning.”

”I’ll manage the pavilion for one month at most. You’d better be back by then.”

As she spoke, Medusa gently leapt backward, slipping out of his arms.

A moment later, a red cheongsam appeared, gracefully covering her fair and elegant body.

”Don’t worry. One month, tops. I’ll definitely be back.”

Grasping her jade-like arm, Lin Feng placed the Pavilion Master’s token into her hand.

With a smile and a wave, Lin Feng soared into the sky, flying toward the distant mountain ranges outside of Spirit Mountain City.

”Hmph. Who said you had to come back in one month? It’d be better if you just died out there.”

Watching Lin Feng take off after just a few words, Medusa let out a soft snort. Then, her figure vanished from where she stood.

Deep in the mountain range, Lin Feng hovered above the endless sea of trees below. He scanned the area, his brows slightly furrowed.

With a gentle flap of the crimson wings on his back, his figure once again turned into a black streak, darting through the mountains in search of a suitable spot.

Half a day later, as the sun began to dip westward, Lin Feng finally found a place that satisfied him.

It was nestled in the crevice between two towering mountains. Likely due to the sunlight being unable to reach this place, coupled with mountain spring water constantly gushing down from above, the area was extremely damp.

The deeper he went, the wetter the soil under his feet became.

By the time he reached the heart of the valley, it had completely transformed into a swampland covered in lush green grass.

Looking at the marshy terrain below, Lin Feng smiled and said,

”Not bad. I’ll train here. Now, I just need to wait for a thunderstorm.”

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the sunlight spilling over the mountain peaks.

He had been too busy to start studying Three Thousand Lightning Movement, though he had browsed through the technique’s description before.

It was said that each scroll of Three Thousand Lightning Movement took immense effort to create.

Sealed within each scroll by the Pavilion Master himself was a trace of wind and lightning power.

Only by absorbing and assimilating this strand of wind-lightning at the right moment could one truly master the technique.

This wind-lightning force was one of the key reasons why Wind Lightning Pavilion had remained influential on the Dou Qi Continent for so long.

However, this power could only be drawn when the sky was covered in dark clouds and flickering lightning.

And only when seated atop a mountain peak might one have the fortune of absorbing a wisp of it from the void.

Moreover, the wind-lightning force was extremely violent.

If one lacked mental fortitude, it would be nearly impossible to control. A moment’s carelessness could lead to backlash.

But if successful, even among lightning-attributed Dou Qi known for its destructive power, the resulting combat strength would still be on another level.

”From the looks of it, the weather’s going to stay clear for a few more days. Guess I’ll spend the time practicing Flame Condensing Art first.”

With that thought, Lin Feng pulled the crimson scroll from his storage ring and spread it open, beginning a careful study.

Several days later, Lin Feng suddenly raised his hand, palm open. A moment later, the beast flame of the Blazing Flame Horned Lizard floated quietly above it.

”Condense!”

With a sudden clench of his fist, the floating flame instantly condensed into a three-meter-long horned lizard-shaped flame beast under some kind of control.

”Go!”

With a flick of his finger, the fire beast shot toward the nearby marsh.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion echoed between the two mountains, and a massive crater—over ten meters wide and several meters deep—appeared on the ground.

”Not bad. In terms of precision, this Flame Condensing Art might not be on par with Jia Nan Academy’s Fire Control Techniques… but it does significantly boost the attack power of my beast flame.”

With a satisfied nod, Lin Feng slowly withdrew his flame, eyes resting on the massive crater left behind.
