Chapter 1007: Yun Yun's Unusual

So what should we do now?

Seeing Lin Feng put away the skeleton, Yun Yun immediately opened her red lips slightly and asked.

Let's go look at the other skeleton first.

Hearing that, Lin Feng turned his head, his thoughtful gaze toward the center of the sand, toward the skeleton controlling the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire.

As soon as his words fell, he lightly tapped the void with his toe and flew toward another skeleton.

Hmm.

Hearing that, Yun Yun lightly nodded and then silently followed.

However, when Lin Feng didn't notice, a fleeting glint of gold flashed in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by the sound of breaking air, Lin Feng, having flown across the dozen or so li of sand in between, once again arrived above the cross-legged skeleton.

Wait, the fire cauldron, the previous skeleton, the buildings shattered by lightning, and the golden lightning—could they not be

Gazing again at the huge golden fire cauldron, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Feng's mind, thinking of what might have happened here before.

However, before he could take the next step, Yun Yun's gentle voice immediately sounded beside his ear.

Husband, this fire cauldron is extremely similar to the medicine cauldrons you and some of your sisters usually use for refining pills. But why would he condense the strange fire into this shape? After all, it's impossible to use a flame-condensed medicine cauldron to refine pills, right?

While speaking, Yun Yun looked down at the skeleton with a puzzled expression.

Regarding pill refinement, since some of her sisters are alchemists, she also knows a bit about it.

But she had never heard of using a flame-condensed medicine cauldron to refine pills!

Hehe, you guessed right. The white skeleton below was indeed refining pills in life. However, he likely died before finishing the pill for some reason, causing the scene you see now.

While answering Yun Yun's doubt, Lin Feng also shrugged and showed a confident smile.

Refining pills?

Hearing that, Yun Yun's doubts intensified, and she immediately asked, puzzled: 'Husband, why didn't this person use a ready-made good medicine cauldron for alchemy, but instead condense the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire into this strange fire cauldron?'

Hehe, because this person is a ninth-rank alchemist; for such alchemists, even the medicine cauldrons on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking are mostly inferior to the ones they themselves condense using strange fire.

Speaking, Lin Feng's gaze swept over the skeleton below, as well as the golden light beams constantly shooting into that medicine cauldron.

If I'm not mistaken, the skeleton below was refining pills in life, and it was an extremely high-grade pill, at least surpassing the realm of ninth-rank precious pills. However, when the pill was about to emerge and attracted pill lightning, for some reason they suddenly tried to block those pill lightnings. In the end, due to insufficient strength, they both fell.

Having said that, Lin Feng lightly stroked his chin and continued: 'Of course, it's also possible that because the pill's grade was too high, that female Dou Saint coveted the pill and ultimately assassinated the alchemist.'

As for that female Dou Saint, after killing the alchemist, perhaps because she didn't understand alchemy, she thought this high-grade pill was like ordinary pills and needed to forcibly block the pill lightning; overestimating herself, she died beneath the pill lightning.

While speaking, Lin Feng glanced at the distant buildings shattered by lightning.

Those earlier doubts, he has now mostly figured out.

No wonder, it makes sense that those two died separately in this sand.

Hearing the former's explanation, Yun Yun suddenly realized.

However, thinking of the ninth-rank pill Lin Feng mentioned, she continued to ask: 'Husband, is the ninth-rank pill you spoke of still inside that medicine cauldron?'

While speaking, Yun Yun unconsciously lifted her head to gaze at the huge flame cauldron, a flash of deep astonishment crossing her beautiful eyes.

Although eighth-rank pills, some of her sisters have refined many for her.

But ninth-rank pills, she has never heard of them from birth until now!

However, she didn't know that at the instant her gaze fell upon that medicine cauldron, the golden thread in her beautiful eyes instantly occupied half of her pupils.

I think it's in there, but that grade of pill usually has power far beyond ours, and can even transform into a human form to cultivate; for now we'd better not touch that fire cauldron. After all, if it runs out, we can't handle it.

Lin Feng gazed at the golden fire cauldron emitting extreme terrifying heat, scorching the surrounding space into nothingness, and shook his head helplessly.

Now this Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire is right before our eyes, alongside a pill at least of ninth-rank Xuan grade.

But he dare not take it because his strength is too weak.

But thinking of the strength of that old ancestor of the Dan Tower, Lin Feng, after a little thought, still felt it would be better to wait for Feng'er to leave seclusion and bring her to get it.

After all, if a pill with strength reaching the Dou Saint realm were to run out, he and Yun'er would likely be in danger today.

As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng swiftly moved and arrived before the skeleton of the alchemist below.

Immediately, he began searching on the skeleton.

As his gaze kept sweeping, Lin Feng soon saw a space ring on the left hand finger of the skeleton making hand seals.

Hehe, although the strange fire can't be taken, obtaining this space ring is also not a bad choice.

Gazing at the space ring made of silver-colored metal with a high-grade na stone set in the middle, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with intense joy.

After all, this is the space ring of a Dou Saint-level powerhouse who is also a ninth-rank alchemist.

One can imagine the contents are certainly not ordinary items.

If he gets it, then this trip won't have been in vain.

While he felt joy at discovering the space ring, Yun Yun in the sky also closely followed Lin Feng and came beside the skeleton.

A Dou Saint-level alchemist's space ring!

Seeing that space ring, she instantly became delighted, then excitedly looked toward Lin Feng and continued: 'Husband, quickly take off that space ring!'

Okay.

Hearing that, Lin Feng lightly nodded, then carefully extended his hand, pinched the space ring set on the skeleton's finger bone, and carefully moved it toward the outer fingertip.

Seeing this, Yun Yun beside him likewise held her breath, nervously watching him take the space ring.

After all, if Lin Feng accidentally trembled his finger and touched the skeleton,

it would cause him to be unable to maintain the alchemist's posture, output the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire to sustain that fire cauldron, letting the ninth-rank pill inside escape, which would trouble them.

However, fortunately, Lin Feng's retrieval of the space ring this time went quite smoothly.

Not long after, he took out the space ring and immediately gripped it in his hand.

Great, we got the storage ring!

Seeing this, Yun Yun instantly let out a deep, fragrant breath, so excited she nearly leapt up.

She had originally thought that, after serving as head of the Yun Lan Sect for over a decade, she could remain unflustered even if Mount Tai collapsed before her eyes.

But since she came into contact with these things, she realized that her so‑called composure was nothing but a joke.

Having successfully retrieved the Na Ring, Lin Feng also let out a big sigh of relief.

Immediately after, he suddenly went overboard and planted a kiss on Yun Yun's smooth cheek.

"Hehe, now that we have the Na Ring, let's celebrate tonight; later I'll work hard and give you a child."

Smiling, Lin Feng reached out and slipped the Na Ring into his collar, carefully stowing it away.

"You're already an adult, yet still so improper."

Suddenly kissed, Yun Yun immediately shot the latter a coquettish rolling eye in annoyance.

However, hidden in her words was a joy she could not conceal.

After all, watching Xiao Zhao'er grow day by day made her increasingly anxious, yearning for a child of her own.

Otherwise, if she still ended up behind the other sisters later, it would be rather unfun.

"Hehe, I'm being serious now."

Hearing that, Lin Feng chuckled and then resumed searching around the skeleton.

After all, a Dou Saint strongman could not simply die without cause.

He also realized that the Dou Saint alchemist who died cross‑legged here must have suffered a severe injury, causing him to collapse on the spot.

Soon after, Lin Feng indeed found something amiss behind the skeleton.

On the left side of the ribcage, the three ribs surrounding the heart were not the jade‑white of the other bones, but an intensely deep black.

Moreover, this blackness not only stained those three ribs but also turned the upper portion of the connected spine a dark black.

"Is this… poison?"

Looking at those blackened bones, Yun Yun beside Lin Feng was startled, her expression turning horrified.

After all, the alchemist's former strength had at least reached the Dou Saint level.

Yet the bones of such a strongman had been corrupted by toxins in this way.

One can imagine how potent those toxins are!

Hearing that, Lin Feng nodded and said, "It seems these poisons were the method employed by that female Dou Saint. Yet these toxins are truly shocking; the Dou Saint‑level alchemist bore no other wounds. It appears the cause of death was these poisons!"

"As for the cause, I think it was that pill."

At that point, Lin Feng couldn't help but gasp a rush of hot air.

After all, a toxin capable of killing a Dou Saint strongman is not something most Dou Saints can easily obtain; it is exceedingly rare.

He hadn't expected that the female Dou Saint could actually acquire it.

However, recalling that the female Dou Saint's Na Ring had been destroyed, Lin Feng sighed, "Alas, that Na Ring is a loss; otherwise I could have checked inside it for any remaining toxin."

"If we give those poisons to Xiao Yixian, once she advances to the Half Saint Realm, taking them could directly elevate her to a true Dou Saint!"

As he spoke, a deep disappointment welled up in Lin Feng's eyes.

"It's fine; this skeleton still has plenty of toxin residue. We just take the skeleton away."

Hearing that, Yun Yun's gaze shifted from the Golden Fire Cauldron to the white bones that continuously emitted Nine‑Nether Golden Ancestral Fire from the Hand‑Pressed Seal.

Mid‑sentence, a flicker of golden light glimmered in her beautiful eyes, and she immediately extended a jade arm to seize the skeleton.

"Yun'er, what are you doing?!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng's complexion changed drastically, and he grabbed Yun Yun's delicate wrist, pulling her back.

After all, moving that skeleton would deprive the cauldron of its flame source.

If the pill inside escaped, they wouldn't be able to handle it!

"Ah?"

Pulled back abruptly, Yun Yun's golden‑tinged eyes vanished instantly, and she stared blankly at Lin Feng.

"Husband, why are you playing tricks? You just yanked me so forcefully that I jumped in fright."

Speaking that, Yun Yun also extended a jade hand, lightly patting the fatty lump before her, causing rippling waves.

Hearing that, Lin Feng instantly scanned Yun Yun from head to toe, then pointed at the nearby skeleton and said, "Why did you go to touch that skeleton just now? If the pill in the cauldron leaks out, we'll be in trouble."

"Touch that skeleton?"

"I have nothing to do with it; why would I touch that skeleton? If the pill in the cauldron spills out, wouldn't we..."

However, just as Yun Yun finished speaking, a flash of golden light flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Immediately, seizing the moment while Lin Feng was unprepared, she swiftly extended a jade palm, her Dou Qi wildly converging as she slammed it at Lin Feng!

"Whoa, Yun'er, what are you doing?"

That sudden strike startled Lin Feng immensely.

Why is Yun'er, in this short period, always doing...

"No, Yun'er, you're being controlled just like the beasts before!"

But quickly, he recalled the previously controlled beasts, and his face darkened as he gritted his teeth and said,

At this moment, he truly couldn't understand who it was, or how they could silently control Yun Yun right under his nose!

After all, his soul power wasn't weak; logically, even a Dou Saint strongman who practices illusion would not...

It would be unlikely to silently use soul power to cast illusion and control his own wife.

When Yun Yun heard Lin Feng's voice, the golden‑tinged eyes instantly revealed much more.

At the same time, Yun Yun's consciousness also recovered considerably.

"Damn, when exactly..."

Staring at her unresponsive hands, about to strike her husband, Yun Yun's beautiful... suddenly turned extremely gloomy.

Immediately, she clenched her silver teeth, focused her mind, and began to wrest control of her own body from that mysterious force.
