Not long after flying, Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian arrived at the city gates.

Looking up at the hundreds-of-meters-high wall, with its inward-curving top forming a massive half-dome, Lin Feng’s expression turned slightly surprised.

This city resembled an enormous fortress with a rounded top. Only, the top wasn’t fully sealed sunlight still streamed down through the opening.

Beneath that towering wall, at the wide gateway meant for entering and leaving the city, there was actually… a spatial barrier set right across the entrance.

It stood there like a gate of its own, completely obscuring the view beyond. Judging from the aura it emitted, it had likely been set up by a high-level Dou Zong.

As for the numerous guards stationed beneath the wall…compared to the bizarre city wall, they seemed almost ordinary.

Recovering from his brief surprise, Lin Feng promptly took Xiao Yixian by the hand and walked forward. The moment the guards at the gate saw the two approaching, they quickly stepped aside to make way.

Normally, entering the city required paying a fee of fifty thousand gold coins per person. But just now, they had seen very clearly that these two had arrived by treading through the air. And anyone capable of that was at least a One-Star Dou Zong.

They, as mere Dou Wang-level ”small fry,” wouldn’t dare go up and demand payment. Lin Feng, seeing that these gate guards were actually all high-rank Dou Wang, felt a flicker of surprise. But he quickly understood.

Jie Xing City sat between the Western Desolate Region and the western part of Central Continent. Most travelers here were bound to have pretty bad tempers.

If the guards’ cultivation level was too low, there would be no way to keep those lawless types in check. Passing through the spatial barrier, Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian stepped into Jie Xing City.

The moment they entered, both of them immediately noticed—the fierce gale outside that could easily kill a Dou Ling vanished without a trace.

”These people in Jie Xing City… actually use massive walls together with a spatial barrier to block the outside gales. That’s a brilliant idea.”

Xiao Yixian’s tone carried a hint of admiration as she looked at the wide streets ahead and the bustling crowds.

The city walls here covered nearly half the sky above Jie Xing City. The gaps not sealed with stone were instead filled with a transparent spatial barrier.

With the two working together, the vicious winds were completely kept out. And with the gales gone, even low-level cultivators could live here as usual.

”Come on, let’s find an inn first. We’ll clean up our things before we do anything else.”

Lin Feng’s dark eyes casually swept over the nearby people who were clearly harboring ill intentions. Then, he took Xiao Yixian’s small hand and said.

Just then, a group of men in their thirties, all Dou Wang-level, suddenly walked over.

”Hey, old man, your grandpa here’s a little short on gold lately. If you know what’s good for you, hand over your—”

Boom!

Before he could even finish, he and the few companions beside him were sent flying backwards in an instant, smashing through a building behind them and disappearing from sight.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian, completely unfazed, simply continued walking toward the street ahead.

”Dou Wang trying to rob a Dou Zong… these people really have no sense of self-preservation.”

A nearby Dou Huang, having seen the scene, curled his lips into a mocking grin as he muttered.

Since the two in front hadn’t made any effort to conceal their strength, he had picked up on a faint spatial fluctuation around them, and instantly realized something wasn’t right.

Because of that, he didn’t dare rush forward to try his luck.

Those fools who had just stepped out to cause trouble had, in fact, done him the favor of testing the waters.

As for the other shady onlookers, once they saw those Dou Wang-level thugs sent flying in the blink of an eye, they all hurriedly averted their gazes.

By now, they all understood—these two were not people they could afford to provoke. After that little incident, no more blind idiots came to bother Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian.

Thus, the two quickly and smoothly found an inn that looked fairly decent and checked in.

Once in their room, Lin Feng could no longer hold back his impatience—he took out the half of the storage rings he hadn’t sorted yet and began going through them.

”With this many items, if you bring them back to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, its foundation could probably rival that of the famous Four Pavilion in Central Continent.”

Inside the room, Xiao Yixian looked at the dazzling pile of treasures spread out across the floor and couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.

”Hehe, it’s not that simple. Those ancient factions that have been around for who knows how many years have been accumulating treasures endlessly. Who knows how much they’ve hoarded over time.”

Hearing her words, Lin Feng shook his head with a light laugh.

Still, despite his words, the excitement in his pitch-black eyes as he stared at the items on the floor was impossible to hide.

After sorting through the more than three hundred storage rings they had obtained from the Dou Zun Ruins—just the High-Grade Earth Class cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques numbered over twenty scrolls.

As for Low and Mid-Grade Earth Class cultivation techniques and Dou techniques, the total was close to five hundred. And the number of Xuan Class cultivation techniques and Dou techniques… was an astonishing one thousand eight to nine hundred.

Naturally, among these storage rings, more than twenty had belonged to alchemists. Five of them had even been seventh-tier alchemists. But now, all of their alchemical inheritances had fallen into Lin Feng’s hands.

Since Xiao Yixian also had a deep love for alchemy, she took a few sets of fifth-tier alchemy techniques for herself. Everything else was swept up and kept by Lin Feng.

Even though his current alchemy skill was no weaker—and in fact superior—to these people’s, the principle of learning from others still applied; many of their unique techniques could be used for reference.

From the rings of those twenty-plus alchemists, he also found more than a thousand alchemical recipes, which brought him some joy. While a large portion of them were duplicates, there were still many formulas he had never seen before.

As for the various medicinal ingredients stuffed into over a dozen of the rings, that was even more exciting for Lin Feng.

With this near-unquantifiable stockpile, he probably wouldn’t have to worry about running out of herbs for anything below eighth-tier alchemy.

He even waved his hand and handed Xiao Yixian a storage ring filled entirely with fifth-tier herbs—enough to refine multiple fifth-tier pills.

He told her to play with them as she liked; whether others could use the pills she made didn’t matter. After all, of the fifth-tier herbs he had now, there were at least eight hundred to a thousand sets—more than enough to withstand some experimentation.

As for magic cores, he didn’t bother counting those of Rank 5 and below. From the more than three hundred storage rings, he found over two hundred Rank 6 magic cores alone.

There were also nearly fifty Rank 7 magic cores. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single Rank 8 magic core to be found among them.
