”Lin Feng, do you want me to quietly slip him some poison? In a few days he’d just suddenly drop dead, even that Dou Zun secretly watching us wouldn’t notice a thing.”

Xiao Yixian leaned against Lin Feng’s chest, sending her voice straight into his ears.

When it came to poisoning a mere peak Two-Star Dou Zong, she was absolutely confident. Even if the other party possessed a Heavenly Flame, such a heavenly treasure still couldn’t save him from death!

”No need. Doing that carries way too much risk. If we anger those people who care about Xiao Yan, we wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences.”

Lin Feng turned down Xiao Yixian’s suggestion without hesitation.

The only reason he had walked up and spoken to Xiao Yan earlier was to deliberately spread that bit of news around. It was just a test—if it created trouble for Xiao Yan, all the better. If not, it didn’t cost him anything.

Killing Xiao Yan outright, though, would not only make the Three Leaders of the Pill Tower come after him, but that woman Gu Xun’er would most likely risk her life to fight him directly. Right now, he wasn’t capable of handling so many enemies at once.

Even if he had some connection with the Ancient Void Dragon clan, that still wouldn’t protect him from a crazed Gu Xun’er. Because if Xiao Yan died, that woman would very likely throw her own life on the line to force the Dou Sheng powerhouses of the Gu Clan to strike him down.

Watching Lin Feng and the two women walk away, Xiao Yan’s brows knit tightly.

Within the Pill Tower’s territory, the restrictions here prevented the other side from attacking him. But at the same time, those same restrictions prevented him from taking action against Lin Feng. He was very aware that inside this Pill Tower, experts were everywhere.

Even the Three Leaders of the Pill Tower couldn’t fully control everything here. Even if he went to ask a Pill Tower powerhouse to deal with Lin Feng, there was an overwhelming chance they would refuse.

At least within the Pill Tower’s domain, no one from the tower would dare to break its rules and lay a hand on Lin Feng. The cost of being discovered was simply something no one could bear!

”The Heavenly Flames on Lin Feng and that woman in white… I probably won’t be able to get my hands on them for now, sigh.”

Thinking of how the Heavenly Flames were so close yet he couldn’t touch them, Xiao Yan let out a helpless sigh and left in disappointment.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng on the other side was happily walking arm in arm with the two women, browsing through goods. Along the way, he bought a few more pill recipes that interested him, as well as some rare medicinal ingredients.

Of course, he also helped Xiao Yixian trade for some highly toxic substances. As for Xinlan, she said there wasn’t really anything here that she needed. After all, with her current ability, even refining a sixth-tier pill was difficult, so she had no use for items of such high grade.

”Hm? Why is there such a big crowd over there, let’s go take a look?”

After walking for a while, Lin Feng suddenly noticed a large group of people gathered up ahead. He turned to the two women at his side and said. With that, he led them over.

As they drew near, Lin Feng realized that many among this crowd were extremely powerful. Some of their auras weren’t any weaker than Tang Zhen’s. At the same time, the three finally got a clear look at what was happening at the center of the crowd.

On a jade platform of pale blue sat a sturdy middle-aged man. On the man’s left eye was a scar running from his brow down to the corner of his mouth, giving him an even more ferocious air.

Judging by the terrifying aura rolling off his body, his strength was likely no weaker than Hu Sheng, the number one expert of the Western Wasteland Region. In front of him were several fist-sized orbs radiating lights of different colors.

Around those orbs, the very space seemed faintly distorted. At this moment, many people stood before those magic cores, studying them carefully and asking for prices.

”Rank 8 magic cores!”

Seeing the orbs, Lin Feng exclaimed in shock.

The fact that there were Rank 8 magic cores here didn’t surprise him. What surprised him was that this man could actually bring out so many magic cores for sale at once.

After all, most Rank 8 magic cores in Central Plains were backed by powerful factions. Ordinary Dou Zun experts, without absolute confidence, almost never dared to hunt a Rank 8 magic beast.

”This fire attribute magic core—what would it take to trade for it?”

Lin Feng walked up to the jade platform, pointing at a fiery-red core, and asked the fierce-looking man.

”That one was taken from a Five-Star Dou Zun level magic beast. No corpse came with it. One three-colored eighth-tier pill, or something of equal value, and it’s yours.”

The burly man gave Lin Feng a faint glance, then his deep voice rumbled out slowly.

Hearing that the price was fair, Lin Feng nodded at once, ”I’ll take this one. And what about these others, what are their prices?”

As he spoke, he gestured at a few cores beside it, which looked a bit dimmer than the fiery-red one. After all, he still had several Dou Zun corpses left that he hadn’t refined into Sky Demon Puppets. Now that he’d run into so many magic cores, naturally he had to stock up in bulk.

”Brother Lin Feng, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect we’d meet here again.”

Before the burly man could answer, a cultured and refined male voice rang out from the side.

Hearing someone call his name, Lin Feng turned his head. He saw a blue-robed man accompanied by a fragile yet stunning young woman, who had somehow appeared nearby without him noticing.

The two were none other than Dan Xuan and Dan Chen, whom Lin Feng had met before. But this time, there were also two old men, one male and one female, following close behind them.

From the faint, restrained auras radiating from the two, their strength was surely no less than Four-Star Dou Zun.

”So it’s you two. I thought you’d already gone back to the Dan Clan.”

Seeing familiar faces, Lin Feng cupped his fist with a smile.

As he spoke, the delicate Dan Chen’s beautiful eyes studied Lin Feng curiously. Her body constitution was extremely unusual—whenever she got close to others, she would involuntarily absorb their soul power, strengthening her own.

And if she ever made physical contact with someone, unless that person’s soul power far surpassed hers, their soul would be swiftly devoured by her body. Because of this, once her family discovered her special constitution, very few dared to come near her.

But when she drew close to Lin Feng, she discovered something baffling: her body had no effect on him at all. Even standing very near, she couldn’t absorb the slightest bit of his soul power.

Leaving her utterly puzzled.

Of course, if Lin Feng knew what she was wondering about, he’d probably be half amused, half exasperated. That soul-absorbing constitution of hers might be strange, but before his newly fused flame of multiple Heavenly Flames, it was simply nothing impressive.

Trying to draw out his soul power while it was protected by his flame? Unless Dan Chen’s soul had already reached the Heaven Realm, it was impossible.
