Aside from that, there were also other things such as various cultivation methods, Dou Techniques, high-grade pills, alchemy insights and techniques, and miscellaneous items.

This ancient alchemist had stored all of them inside his storage ring.

As a gift to the one fated to discover the place of his demise.

At the same time, he hoped that the one who inherited his legacy...

Would be willing to provide some assistance to both his clan and his wife’s clan.

”Hu—”

After recalling all this, Lin Feng let out a long breath.

He then looked down at the scroll in his hand and murmured, ”Judging from all this, I suppose that after completing all of these arrangements, this ancient alchemist met his end.”

As he gently rubbed the smooth scroll in his hand, a trace of regret rose in Lin Feng’s heart.

The stunning talent of this ancient alchemist left even Lin Feng speechless.

Moreover, this person wasn’t just exceptionally dazzling in the path of alchemy.

At only nineteen years old, he was already able to refine sixth-tier pills.

Not only that, his thinking was incredibly sharp.

Even after leaving his sect, during the time he roamed the world on his own, he was able to independently create so many unique alchemy techniques.

This level of talent and creativity in alchemy... perhaps in Lin Feng’s entire generation, there were few who could even come close.

What’s more, this alchemist didn’t just focus on alchemy.

Even in Dou Qi cultivation, he hadn’t fallen behind in the slightest.

Before reaching fifty years of age, he had already broken through the bottleneck of Dou Zong and stepped into the ranks of Dou Zun experts.

And all of this, was achieved through regular, step-by-step cultivation.

Unlike Lin Feng, whose ”talent” had relied heavily on all kinds of heavenly treasures and resources piled up.

Still, thinking about that secret technique capable of enhancing pill quality made Lin Feng green with envy.

If given the opportunity, he really did want to spend some time studying and creating a secret technique that truly belonged to him.

Unfortunately...

This alchemist’s soul ultimately failed to withstand the erosion of endless time.

In the great river of years, it finally dispersed into the heavens and earth.

Otherwise, Lin Feng would have tried to find a way to revive him.

After all, based on his life experiences, this ancient alchemist had a rather upright and admirable character.

But thinking of the alchemist’s final request, Lin Feng couldn’t help but scratch his head.

Back then, this senior had led the top forces of both clans to the Dou Sheng ruins.

But all of those peak experts had fallen there.

And now, from ancient times to the present, so much time had passed.

Most likely, both clans had long since relocated.

Or worse, in the long passage of time, they might’ve been wiped out by some hostile force.

Aside from knowing this alchemist’s name—Dan Yitian—Lin Feng had no other information at all.

So… where exactly was he supposed to even begin searching?

”Sigh…”

With a faint sigh, Lin Feng speculated inwardly, ”Back then, this senior probably held a decent reputation in Central Plains.

He might’ve assumed that after someone found the place he perished, they would soon arrive at Central Plains and easily learn about his clan… But who would’ve thought that this wait would stretch for who knows how many years…”

However, there were still a number of questions lingering in Lin Feng’s heart.

First of all, why didn’t this Dan Yitian ever join the Pill Tower?

Could it be that the Pill Tower back then feared the Yao Clan and didn’t dare to accept this senior?

But Lin Feng immediately rejected that notion.

After all, Dan Yitian had only offended a branch member of the Yao Clan—not the main one.

With the Pill Tower’s power, it shouldn’t have been so fearful of someone from an ancient clan’s branch lineage.

”Then… could it be that the era in which this senior Dan Yitian lived… was before the Pill Tower was even founded?”

After thinking deeply for a long while, Lin Feng speculated.

”Forget it, no point getting caught up in that. I should organize this information first and find what’s useful to me.”

Exhaling heavily, Lin Feng shook his head and dismissed all those chaotic thoughts.

Still, that Dou Sheng ruin he just recalled…

His heart thumped violently.

A Dou Sheng ruin—any items left behind there would undoubtedly be exceptionally precious.

Just like the scroll in his hand right now, the one titled ”Grand Profound Flame Control Array.”

Its value… was simply immeasurable.

After all, when that Dou Sheng had used it at its peak, the power displayed had reached the level of a Mid-Grade Heaven Class Dou Technique.

It was hard to even imagine—if one were to use a magic core from a high-level Dou Sheng to activate the array, what kind of terrifying power would it unleash?

But right now, Lin Feng could only imagine such a thing.

After all, magical beasts of that level were rare across the entire continent.

Let alone having one to spare for use in a technique like this.

However, based on the currently available information, the Dou Sheng who left this ruin behind—

Their strength during their lifetime may have even surpassed that of the Saint Zhao Hua.

Although this ruin didn’t contain the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, the value of the other items...

Was likely far above what the Saint Zhao Hua had left behind in their own ruin.

What’s more, this Dou Sheng expert was very likely also a ninth-tieralchemist!

After all, this Dou Technique, when activated, condensed its energy into the shape of a cauldron.

Unless one was an alchemist, very few cultivators would ever use such a method.

Of course, what Lin Feng was most envious of...

Was that Heavenly Flame described within.

According to the records of the seventh-tier alchemist, the flame was gold in color.

Its power was so immense that even high-rank Dou Zun were unable to approach it directly.

Based on Lin Feng’s deduction, that flame was most likely the Nine Serene Golden Ancestor Flame, ranked seventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

After all, in the entire Heavenly Flame Ranking, only two flames had a golden hue.

One was the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame , ranked fourth.

The other, was the Nine Serene Golden Ancestor Flame, ranked seventh.

But the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking...

Its power was enough to cause even low- and mid-level Dou Shengs to feel wary and cautious.

Clearly, that level of power did not match the written descriptions in the record.

Therefore, the Heavenly Flame in question was very likely the one ranked seventh: Nine Serene Golden Ancestor Flame.

After a long moment, Lin Feng shook his head, pushing away those distracting thoughts.

His gaze lowered, falling onto the scroll in his hand.

He held high expectations for this Dou Technique.

Although he hadn’t yet reached his goal of being able to unleash devastating attacks without relying on Heavenly Flames...

In front of a technique of this level, his original goal could be shelved for now.

Come to think of it, this Dou Technique...

Back when he had fewer Heavenly Flames, it would’ve actually been even more suitable for him than the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique from Tian Huo Zun Zhe.

After all, while Heavenly Flames were hard to find, magic cores and pills were relatively easier to obtain.

After a while, Lin Feng snapped out of his thoughts. He closed his eyes slightly as his soul power surged from the center of his brows and flowed into the scroll.

Several days later, just as Lin Feng stepped out from the alchemy room, Zi Yan walked up with a woman with blue hair and said with a smile:

”Lin Feng, her name is Ye Xinlan. She says she’s from one of the five great clans of the Pill Tower, and after hearing you can refine seventh-tier pills, she’s willing to teach you seventh-tier alchemy techniques—and even allow you to study eighth-tier methods and insights.”

Hearing that, Lin Feng shifted his gaze slightly, sweeping it over the beautiful woman Zi Yan had brought with her.

The woman had rare, pale blue hair, and her dress was the same color as her hair.

Her face was a delicately shaped oval, her features extremely beautiful.

Her slender and graceful figure, accentuated by her elegant clothing, highlighted her alluring curves—stirring one’s heart at a glance.

However, it was a bit of a pity…

Because despite her breathtaking appearance, her expression carried a cold, distant aura—one that clearly rejected any approach.

At the same time Lin Feng was sizing her up, Ye Xinlan’s beautiful eyes were also assessing Lin Feng.

”Hehe, this is Lin Feng. When he refined that seventh-tier pill before, it even triggered Pill Lightning, you know,” Zi Yan said playfully, stepping forward when she noticed the two staring at each other.

”Greetings,” Ye Xinlan said, her icy expression softening slightly at the thought of her clan’s current situation. She gave a slight bow as a show of politeness.

”Hello,” Lin Feng replied without putting on any airs, seeing how courteous the other party was.

”I’m sure Miss Ye already knows the extent of my alchemy skills, so there’s no need for further small talk. As for the things I want—Zi Yan has surely already mentioned them to you. So tell me, what would you need me to do, in exchange for those things?”

After speaking, Lin Feng didn’t waste any more time and got straight to the point.

Of course, the matter regarding the Ye Clan… he definitely couldn’t just bring that up directly.

Otherwise, as long as Ye Xinlan had half a brain, she would definitely start to question him.

Would he really be helping the Ye clan out of genuine goodwill?

Or was he hiding some ulterior motive?
