Seeing her expression, Tian Huo Zun Zhe was afraid she might act impulsively and end his little life with a single sword strike, so he quickly scurried off to a distant spot to keep his distance.

Seeing this old man’s cautious behavior, Medusa cursed inwardly, then dispersed her longsword. Her beautiful eyes carried a trace of worry as she gazed at Lin Feng.

For a moment, the atmosphere here became extremely quiet.

Only the faint sound of tiny, formless flames occasionally flickering from Lin Feng’s body could be heard.

However, this silence didn’t last long.

Roughly ten minutes later, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, which faintly glowed with a milky white light.

Once the light faded and he sensed the Dou Qi in his body being constantly refined, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands with a smile, and said, ”Many thanks for your help, Elder Yao.”

These words weren’t just polite—he was genuinely grateful.

Just now, Yao Tianhuo had injected the source fire seed of the Heavenly Flame into his body.

This action not only allowed him to use the Falling Heart Flame even though he hadn’t yet subdued it, but it would also make it significantly easier to subdue it in the future.

After all, with prolonged cooperation, the flame’s fire seed would inevitably carry traces of his soul imprint.

When he eventually attempted to devour it, there would naturally be much less resistance compared to devouring it outright. It could be described as a win on multiple fronts.

”It’s just fulfilling a previous agreement. After all, you did succeed in bringing me out of that lightless underground world.”

Yao Tianhuo said with a smile, gazing out the window at the scenery he hadn’t seen for hundreds of years.

Then, remembering the matter of resurrection, he asked, ”Kid, that resurrection secret technique you mentioned earlier—what exactly is required? How can we get it? I may not have a physical body now, but all the wealth I had in life is still around. As long as it’s not something overly rare, I can still trade for it—or take it.”

Knowing the elder’s eagerness, Lin Feng selectively shared some information: ”As for that secret technique, I’ve more or less figured out how to exchange for it. Regarding the materials required to perform the technique, from what I know, there are four categories.”

As soon as Lin Feng mentioned he knew,Yao Tianhuo immediately asked, ”What four categories?”

”They are: three types of Heavenly Flames, the body of a Dou Zong expert, the essence blood of a Rank 7 magic beast, and a peak seventh-tier pill called Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill.”

As these rare and precious items came out of Lin Feng’s mouth one after another, the previously excited expression on Yao Tianhuo’s face vanished, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. He was instantly deflated.gr

The body of a Dou Zong and the essence blood of a Rank 7 magic beast—these would’ve been trivial matters back in his prime.

But now, it would be incredibly difficult to obtain even those two items.

Let alone the rest—especially the three types of Heavenly Flames. Where was he supposed to get those?

Thinking about how the Ocean Heart Flame had slipped right under his nose earlier, Yao Tianhuo couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret in his heart.

Noticing his flickering expression, Lin Feng smiled and said, ”No need to be too anxious, Elder Yao. I still have one Green Lotus Core Flame in my possession. I only need to find one more Heavenly Flame. Also, I already have a scroll containing the recipe for the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill.”

As he spoke, he retrieved the seventh-tier recipe scroll he had found inside the Serene Sea Storage Ring.

”You really are something, kid. Even this kind of recipe, you managed to get your hands on. Now we just need to refine this pill, then figure out how to obtain—or borrow—another Heavenly Flame. As for the other two items, I can still get them.”

He took the scroll and glanced over it, then said with surprise and delight.

Although he hadn’t yet seen the Green Lotus Core Flame, since Lin Feng could produce this pill recipe, it was unlikely the Heavenly Flame claim was fake.

”Elder Yao, don’t get too excited just yet. The Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill is a peak seventh-tier pill. Let alone refining it—even acquiring the ingredients won’t be an easy task.”

Lin Feng reminded him while putting the recipe back into his storage ring.

”Uh…”

Hearing this, Yao Tianhuo paused in thought for a moment. Then he flicked the white-colored storage ring with a finger.

A pale white scroll appeared in front of him, and on the scroll were drawings of various flying beasts wreathed in flames.

”This is the Dou Technique that made me famous back in the day—Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique. Hmm... though calling it a Dou Technique isn’t entirely accurate. It’s more appropriately described as a fire control technique.”

After introducing the item in his hand, Yao Tianhuo tossed the scroll over to Lin Feng and said, ”Kid, this is the most valuable item I possess. Consider it your reward for helping resurrect me.”

Hearing the information contained within the scroll, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

Having read the original novel, how could he not know how powerful this Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique truly was?

Moreover, this method was especially well-suited for someone like him who practiced Flame Mantra.

He received the scroll and then carefully opened it to examine the text written inside.

”Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique, a fire control technique. The technique is divided into five levels, each represented by a beast: Wolf, Leopard, Lion, Tiger, and Flood Dragon. Each level corresponds to a distinct fire spirit. When the technique reaches full mastery and the five beasts converge, they can form the Five Ring Flame Expelling Flame Formation, possessing the power to boil oceans and burn the sky.”

Lin Feng’s eyes slowly swept over this concise introduction. Then his gaze fixed on the final line in small print at the bottom.

”If four of the five beasts are condensed using Heavenly Flames, this method’s power can rival that of a Heaven Class Dou Technique!”

Seeing those final words—even though Lin Feng had already known this—his breathing couldn’t help but grow heavier.

Heaven Class Dou Techniques—aside from the descendants of ancient clans, such techniques were rarely owned by anyone below the Ban Sheng level.

And this Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique was leagues above the Flame Condensation Art he had practiced before.

If he could truly master it, his control over flame would definitely rise to an entirely new level.

Off to the side, Medusa noticed the shift in his expression and leaned over to take a glance at the scroll.

A moment later, her expression grew even more excited than Lin Feng’s.

This kind of item—she had only seen it described in books before.

As for the actual artifact—this was her first time seeing one in person.

And thinking about the Flame Mantra Lin Feng practiced now, she couldn’t help but marvel inwardly—this fire control technique truly seemed like it was tailor-made for him.

After the joy settled, Lin Feng gradually regained his composure.

While storing the scroll in his storage ring, he gave a solemn promise: ”Elder Yao, rest assured. I will do my best to gather the items needed for the resurrection technique.”

”Mm, with your word, I can rest easy.” Yao Tianhuo nodded slightly, then added, ”Also, Falling Heart Flame possesses the ability to refine souls into their essence. In the future, you can collect more souls to refine and elevate your soul realm. This way, your chances of successfully refining high-grade pills will also greatly increase.”

He reminded Lin Feng in case the latter didn’t understand the Falling Heart Flame’s ability.

As the former master of this Heavenly Flame, Yao Tianhuo had used it in his lifetime to refine and absorb many soul essences, which was how his soul power had become so formidable.
