”Although the Myriad Steel Tempering Technique only mentioned that the Steel Body could resist poison, even the poisonous mist released by an Eight-Star Dou Zong couldn’t break through my defenses this time. Looks like its poison resistance is top-tier too.”

Gazing at the nearly corroded golden membrane around him, Lin Feng chuckled with a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

With that, he withdrew the Steel Body.

As the glow gradually faded, his skin returned to its normal appearance.

Only then did Lin Feng turn his head toward Xiao Yixian.

At this moment, Xiao Yixian had already broken through the soul shield protecting Granny Yin’s spatial ring.

She was holding a dark gray scroll in her hands, reading it with visible delight.

”Found something good?”

Seeing her so happy, Lin Feng smiled and walked over to her side.

”That’s right,” Xiao Yixian nodded, then smiled and said, ”Inside that old hag’s ring, there was a High-Grade Earth Class poison attribute cultivation technique called Baleful Poison Yin Demon Art.”

Hearing that, Lin Feng’s eyes widened in surprise. ”This technique… don’t tell me it’s the counterpart to that Baleful Poison Yin Demon Arrow we found earlier?”

The names of both the technique and the Dou Technique were nearly identical, aside from the suffixes—hard not to think they were connected.

”Exactly,” Xiao Yixian nodded again.

”This set was created by a Dou Zun expert known as Du Yin Zun Zhe. Once mastered, it allows the user to condense a special kind of Dou Qi within the body called Poison Yin Dou Qi. When using this Dou Qi to perform matching Dou Techniques, the power is significantly amplified.”

A touch of longing flashed across her pretty face as she continued, ”According to the scroll, this Du Yin Zun Zhe had already surpassed the peak of Dou Zun and stepped into the Nine-Change level. Back in the Central Plains, he had quite the reputation.”

After hearing the details about this technique and its matching Dou Technique, Lin Feng was pleased as well.

Xiao Yixian’s original cultivation technique was only a Mid-Grade Earth Class technique.

This new set was a perfect opportunity for her to upgrade.

Moreover, matched sets of cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques were usually far more valuable than their standalone counterparts of the same class.

That’s because coordinated techniques typically enhanced each other, boosting their power well beyond normal.

And according to what Xiao Yixian just said, this Poison Yin Dou Qi would dramatically strengthen the toxic capabilities of most poison-type cultivators.

In her case, with her Constitution of Calamity Poison, wouldn’t her poison become even more terrifying after cultivating this?

At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed from the snow-white ring on Lin Feng’s finger—it was Tian Huo Zun Zhe, sounding a little envious: ”You two youngsters really have some outrageous luck.

You bought a standalone High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique, and then just like that, someone delivers the matching cultivation technique right to your doorstep. Now that they’re a complete set, the value’s easily ten times higher.

Sets like this, especially rare attribute High-Grade Earth Class ones, are worth more than even five-colored eighth-tier pills—hard to come by even if you had one.”

As someone who had once reached the peak of Five-Star Dou Zun, he naturally understood the true value of such a set.

Who would’ve thought Lin Feng only used a high-grade seventh-tier pill and a fairly easy fight to get the whole thing?

”Hehe, come on Elder Yao, your Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique is worth more than this set anyway—what’s there to be jealous of?”

Lin Feng laughed in response.

”Hmph, fair enough. But listen here, Lin Feng—back when I was exploring that Dou Sheng’s relic, I was still at the Dou Zong level. You should’ve seen it—Dou Zun experts flying everywhere, like weeds. But this old man, sharp and fearless as ever, managed to snatch one of the treasures from right under their noses...”

Seeing him start bragging again, Lin Feng couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile.

But his mind quickly turned back to the matter of the new technique. He looked toward Xiao Yixian and said, ”This set should be enough to carry you all the way to Dou Zun. As for anything beyond that, we’ll figure it out when the time comes.”

”Mhm,”

Xiao Yixian nodded softly.

Xiao Yixian gently caressed the scroll in her hands, her expression full of satisfaction.

Although her Woeful Poison Body didn’t make her overly reliant on cultivation techniques a high-grade technique like this would still ensure she wouldn’t run out of Dou Qi during intense battles.

Then, as if something suddenly came to mind, Xiao Yixian’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. She looked at Lin Feng with a trace of concern and said, ”Inside that old hag’s spatial ring, I found several peak seventh-tier pills.

And there are even more pills of lower tiers. I’m afraid her husband really is a peak seventh-tier alchemist. If that Elder Chan Chu comes back with help to get revenge… we might be in some trouble.”

”No big deal. If the enemy comes knocking, we’ll just kill them,” Lin Feng said calmly, his tone light.

”Besides, we don’t have a fixed faction in the Central Plains anyway. We’ll just keep traveling, hide our identities a bit, and see how that so-called Elder Chan Chu plans to track us.”

”True...”

After Lin Feng’s reassurance, Xiao Yixian felt much more at ease. She nodded and added, ”There are a lot of pills in here. Why don’t you take them? They might be useful.”

As she spoke, her slender jade hand moved to retrieve the pills.

Seeing this, Lin Feng gently pressed down on her wrist.

”You hold onto them. Doesn’t matter which one of us has them—they’re still ours either way.”

”…Alright then.”

Seeing how serious he was, Xiao Yixian nodded in agreement.

”Let’s get moving.”

With the matter settled, Lin Feng tapped his foot lightly in midair and continued flying toward their destination.

Xiao Yixian quickly tucked the dark gray scroll away and followed close behind.

As they flew, Lin Feng fell into deep thought, silently pondering how to deal with the potential threat.

After all, the revenge of a peak seventh-tier alchemist wasn’t something to take lightly.

Unless he could ambush and kill that Elder Chan Chu somewhere directly...

Otherwise, if the old man really wanted to go all out, he might offer himself as a guest elder to some faction in exchange for support—and with that, there was no telling if he could summon a Dou Zun to retaliate.

He had to be cautious.

After passing through a nearby city and entering a spatial wormhole, Lin Feng moved to the front of the space vessel and took control of the helm.

He then turned toward Xiao Yixian and said softly, ”Xiao Yixian, according to the guard just now, this spatial wormhole will take about a month to reach our destination. You might as well use this time to switch over to your new technique. I’ll handle steering the ship.”

Though he also wanted to use this downtime in the wormhole to completely refine the Demon Poison Spot in his body…and also finish refining that Rank 8 beast flame he bought back in Bone Transforming City to feed to the Life Transforming Flame...

Last time, on the journey from Horizon City to the Central Plains, it was Xiao Yixian who had managed the space vessel the whole time.

So this time, it was only right that he gave her the chance to focus on her own training.

”Mhm.”

Xiao Yixian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stepped into the cabin to begin adjusting to her new cultivation technique.
