”What?!”

Even someone as calm as Lin Feng couldn’t help but be shocked when he heard that.

After all, the Western Desolate Region still existed within the Central Plains of the Dou Qi Continent.

He wasn’t too surprised that the powerful factions had failed to wipe it out.

But what did surprise him… was that even after those factions had gathered such a massive force of elite experts, they had still suffered a devastating loss.

”That said, the Western Desolate Region suffered heavy losses too. I heard that even two Dou Zun experts were killed. As for the destruction of the surrounding cities… it’s countless, honestly. That’s why both sides are keeping things in check now. As long as nobody crosses the line, they basically stay out of each other’s way.”

Seeing the stunned expressions on Lin Feng and the girl beside him, Bao Yashu suddenly realized something.

If Lin Feng got cold feet because of this story and didn’t buy the information about the Dou Zun Ruins he was selling, wouldn’t that backfire on him?

Thinking of that, the man quickly added, trying to reassure them:

”Ahem, well… that story happened over a thousand years ago. Who knows how much of it is true, anyway?”

Then, scratching his head with some confusion, he added: ”But it’s strange… a few decades ago, for some reason, the Thunder Lord of the Northern Region’s Wind Lightning Pavilion suddenly rushed into the Western Desolate Region and launched a massive search. In the end, a few of the Dou Zun powers there had to team up and, well… ’escort’ him out.”

At that, Lin Feng’s mouth twitched.

He more or less guessed the real reason.

As for Xiao Yixian, she also quickly realized the cause—it was most likely related to the Three Thousand Lightning Movement technique. She couldn’t help but chuckle, giving Lin Feng a knowing look.

Having rattled off so much information in one breath, Bao Yashu suddenly remembered his real purpose—selling something.

Rubbing his hands together, he looked at Lin Feng and said: ”Little brother, I’ve shared so much with you already, right? So how about it…”

”If you’re interested, you just need 500,000 gold coins to take home this top-secret information on a Dou Zun Ruins. Since you already paid 100,000 earlier, you just need to pay 400,000 more!”

Seeing Lin Feng’s willingness to buy, the man instantly lit up and said with a grin: ”I’ll even throw in a bonus!”

”Alright, you’ve been generous enough with the info—I won’t haggle.” Lin Feng replied calmly.

With that, he pulled out four gold cards and tossed them over.

Each card was worth 100,000 gold coins—something Lin Feng had prepared in advance for transactions like this.

”Little brother, you’re a real boss!”

Bao Yashu was momentarily stunned, but quickly collected the cards with both hands, clearly delighted.

Then, pulling two scrolls out from his storage ring, he handed them over and said with a grin:

”Here you go. This scroll contains the detailed information on the Dou Zun Ruins. The other one is a partial map of the Western Wasteland Desert—a bonus from me. It’s not a full map, but it should help when you head into the desert.”

”Got it.”

Lin Feng accepted the two scrolls without bothering to check them on the spot. He just slipped them directly into his storage ring.

After all, even if they turned out to be fake, the information the man had already shared was worth the price in Lin Feng’s opinion.

”Hehe, well then—until next time, little brother.”

Bao Yashu gave a casual wave, then vanished into the crowd.

”Let’s find an inn first and take a break. We can go over the information on those ruins properly, then head over and check them out,” Lin Feng said, reaching out and gently taking Xiao Yixian’s hand, a bit of excitement in his voice.

”Mm.”

She nodded in agreement without any objections.

They found a random inn, completed the check-in, and headed straight to their room.

The moment they stepped inside, Lin Feng couldn’t wait. He jumped onto the bed, pulled out one of the scrolls they had just bought, and began carefully unrolling it.

As he suspected, the so-called ”top-secret information” was...

In truth, there wasn’t anything particularly ”top secret” in the scroll.

The so-called ”information” was nothing more than the specific location of the ruins and some basic information—like the fact that the Dou Zun who left it behind had wind as his elemental affinity.

”Even though wind isn’t aligned with my own attributes, it’s still worth checking out. There might be something useful there. Even if I can’t use it... Yun’er’s element is wind. It could be a perfect match for her.”

With that thought, Lin Feng made up his mind: he would definitely go to the Dou Zun Ruins and see what he could find.

Among all the women around him, only Yun Yun had yet to receive a fortuitous opportunity of her own.

”So, what do you think of this Dou Zun Ruins?”

Seeing Lin Feng finish reading, Xiao Yixian moved over beside him and asked with a soft smile.

Hearing that, Lin Feng handed the scroll to her and said: ”Take a look for yourself.”

Once she took the scroll, Lin Feng pulled out the map scroll that came with it.

As his eyes swept across it, he quickly realized—it actually had some value.

This map covered the entire route between Di Gang City and the Western Desolate Region.

Naturally, the location of the Dou Zun Ruins was marked within.

This would be helpful not only in finding the ruins, but also later—if he ever wanted to venture deeper into the Western Desolate Region, he’d have a general idea of how to get there.

That said, any territory beyond the Western Desolate Region’s borders... was completely blank on this map.

After a moment of silence, Lin Feng turned to the beautiful woman next to him and said seriously: ”I’m going to refine the rest of the Demon Poison Spot now. I’ll leave the defense to you.”

”No problem.”

Xiao Yixian gently rolled up the scroll and nodded with a soft smile.

Hearing that, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed and let his consciousness sink into his body.

Before this, he’d been intentionally holding back, refining only a bit of the poison each day—out of fear that advancing his strength too quickly would cause instability.

But now that he’d stabilized at the Three-Star Dou Zong stage for over a month...he had complete control over his power.

Which meant—it was finally time to completely purge the remaining Demon Poison Spot.

He stripped off his shirt and looked at the blackened area of skin, which had already shrunk to about one-third of its original size.

Then he formed a hand seal.

In an instant, the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame inside his body ignited and roared to life.

After a slight pause, the flames surged violently toward the spot where the Demon Poison Spot remained!

Under Lin Feng’s precise control, the jade-green flames condensed into a raging inferno inside his body, forming a blazing firestorm that engulfed the mark entirely.

As the high temperature burned away at the poisonous mark, wisps of black mist began rising and dissipating into the air.

With Lin Feng now wielding the power of a Three-Star Dou Zong, the might of the Heavenly Flame was on a whole new level.

Under its intense heat and relentless assault, the Demon Poison Spot was like a sheep surrounded by wolves—trembling, unable to resist.

As time passed, the mark inside Lin Feng’s body began to gradually fade into nothingness, burned away under the pressure of the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame.

Along with its destruction, streams of refined Dou Qi that had been sealed inside it began to surge out one after another.

Lin Feng, prepared for this, manipulated the Heavenly Flame to seize the released Dou Qi.

Under his mental guidance, the pure energy flowed through his meridians like a raging flood, and then—after a brief purification using the Fallen Heart Flame—it was swiftly absorbed into his body.

As the torrent of Dou Qi poured in, Lin Feng’s aura began to gradually rise...
