Chapter 101

As the tempting fragrance slowly drifted out, not long after, Lin Feng felt the little critter on his wrist had already disappeared.

Then the jade bottle in front of him sank slightly, and the ravenous Xiao Cai was frantically sucking it up.

"Gloop~"

Smelling this fragrance, Zi Yan also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gazing enviously at Xiao Cai happily eating.

"Hehe, Xiao Cai, let me have a bite too."

Saying that, Zi Yan stretched out her little hand, wanting to grab it.

"Smack~"

However, as soon as Zi Yan's little hand approached, it was whipped by the little tail.

Immediately, Xiao Cai raised its snake head, a pair of eyes like purple gems staring fixedly at Zi Yan.

That look seemed to say, 'If you dare steal my favorite, we're done.'

This possessive attitude instantly made Zi Yan's hair stand on end, and she snapped angrily: 'If you won't eat it, fine; next time I find something tasty, you won't get any either!'

"Yi~"

Xiao Cai disdainfully turned its little head and continued sucking.

"Waa waa waa, damn it!"

Seeing its disdainful attitude, Zi Yan vowed to find something good and then show it off in front of this little worm.

Seeing this, Lin Feng helplessly shook his head, then took out a jade bottle and tossed it to Zi Yan, saying: 'There are some pills inside; take them and eat them, but don't snatch its accompanying violet crystal source—there are only a few bottles of this stuff, and once it's gone, it's gone.'

"Hmph, I'm leaving first; I'll come find you next time."

Zi Yan took the jade bottle and then flew away in a huff.

Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't say anything either; he had long been accustomed to their quarrels.

Don't look at how these two little critters usually get along; but whenever there's something tasty, neither will yield to the other.

Not long after, the satiated Xiao Cai let out a belch, then returned to Lin Feng's wrist to fall asleep again.

Seeing this, Lin Feng gave a slight smile, then put away the accompanying source.

Afterward, he took out a scroll titled 'Ascending Spirit Pill' prescription from his spatial ring.

If he wanted to establish a respectable faction, he needed at least one of strong strength or alchemy skill.

Otherwise, who would be willing to join your newly formed little faction?

In that case, he couldn't quickly absorb many experts, and the faction's development would become extremely slow.

But he couldn't instantly raise his Dou Qi level either; thus, he could only first improve his alchemy...

His soul sense flowed along his arm into the prescription, and in an instant, all the information surged wildly into Lin Feng's mind.

After closing his eyes to digest it for a moment, Lin Feng clearly understood all the information in this prescription.

Ascending Spirit Pill, a five-star entry-level pill; its effect is not bad—it can help a peak Great Dou Master advance to Dou Spirit with 100% certainty.

He rummaged through his spatial ring for a moment; although many of the medicinal ingredients obtained from the Purple Crystal Wing Lion King and Gu Te had already been used up.

But with the collection of that gray-robed five-star alchemist added, it was still sufficient.

However, Lin Feng recalled that among the inheritances Frank had given him earlier, there seemed to be notes on refining the Ascending Spirit Pill.

So he took out a scroll and began to check the precautions for refining the Ascending Spirit Pill.

After a while, he let out a slight breath and began the pill refinement...

"Clang~"

With each surge of strong energy striking the medicine cauldron, clear bell-like tones rang out.

Gazing at the medicine cauldron filled with orange flames before him, Lin Feng slightly curled his palm, and an azure-colored pill flew out, landing in his palm.

Looking at this Ascending Spirit Pill, Lin Feng's lips curled with a hint of a smile; he hadn't expected to succeed on the second try.

He put it into the jade bottle and then stored it in his spatial ring.

"Flame Origin Palm!"

In a forest, with Lin Feng's soft shout,

an orange-yellow palm print swiftly appeared before him, and he immediately slammed it toward a small mound nearby.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by flying dust and debris, once the smoke cleared, the original small mound had vanished completely.

Only a pit remained on the spot, bearing witness to the attack that had occurred there.

"'Phew, after a month's time, I've finally grasped the basics.'"

Looking at the pit before him, Lin Feng's expression showed some delight.

During this month, he spent half each day practicing Earth Tier combat techniques and the other half refining pills.

After all this effort, he finally managed to successfully execute this combat technique.

Thinking of Zi Yan, who had been missing for several days, Lin Feng couldn't help murmuring softly: 'I wonder if that girl Zi Yan has found anything.'

Not long ago, he had asked Zi Yan to search for a water-attributed sixth-rank magic core in the Canaan Academy.

If she found it, he wanted her to tell the other party that he was willing to exchange pills for it.

But it's been several days now, and there's still no sign of that girl.

Although he remembered that an Elder at the Canaan Academy possessed a water-attributed sixth-rank magic core.

But the annoying part is that he has completely forgotten which Elder it was.

So, he could only have Zi Yan investigate bit by bit.

Who let him now also be unable to openly enter the inner court of the Canaan Academy.

"'Forget it, I won't wait for that girl; first I'll go destroy the Ling Shan Gang and establish the prototype of my own power.'"

After a long while, Lin Feng silently said to himself, then wrote a note and left it in place; his wings unfolded abruptly, and he flew toward Ling Shan City...

Ling Shan City belongs to the northern part of Heijiaoyu, but heading south for about a hundred li leads into the southern region.

On both sides outside the city lie endless stretches of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, with only a single road cutting north‑south through the middle.

Because it is close to the southern side of Heijiaoyu, many caravans traveling north and south pass this road daily, so it enjoys a fair amount of traffic.

This city is controlled by the Ling Shan Gang within the city.

Apart from local residents, anyone else must pay a fee each time they enter the city.

Leveraging its geographic advantage, the Ling Shan Gang earns a pure profit of several million each year from these passing caravans.

Since the gang leader Lu Hao is a Seven‑Star Dou Wang‑level master, and the deputy gang leader is a Two‑Star Dou Wang,

consequently, few dare to cause trouble here.

Yet this is a place where one can earn hundreds of thousands of profit each day just by staying at home.

In Heijiaoyu, even a Seven‑Star Dou Wang generally cannot hold it.

Moreover, the mountain range on the left side of Ling Shan City connects to the back hills of Canaan Academy.

Therefore, Canaan Academy will never allow this place to be occupied by a Dou Emperor.

Otherwise, it would easily threaten the students training in the back hills of the academy.

Hence, only Dou King‑level forces that are relatively easy to control can exist near Canaan City.

Of course, there are exceptions; not far north of Ling Shan City lies a city called Feng City.

That place is the territory of Medicine Emperor Han Feng.

At the same time, Han Feng's Dou Qi level not only reaches the Dou Emperor peak, but his city is also even closer to Canaan Academy.

However, for various reasons, Canaan Academy ultimately did not move to expel Han Feng, merely sending additional forces to monitor his movements.

That day, the deputy gang leader of the Ling Shan Gang began his usual patrol inside the city.

At intervals, he would walk around and conduct a patrol.

After all, Heijiaoyu is not like other places; it is very chaotic.

If you let your guard down, those lawless, ferocious thugs will easily cause trouble.

After making a round and dealing with a few thugs, the deputy gang leader wanted to return to the gang headquarters.

At that moment, a man in a black robe had appeared on the roof beside him, and then suddenly charged at him.

"Who?!"

Seeing someone run to a spot dozens of meters away, and they hadn't noticed at all, cold sweat instantly soaked their back, and they instinctively raised an arm to block the attack.

The deputy gang leader's arm had just been raised when a speck of golden light pierced straight through his forearm bone.

"Ah!"

The pain of the bone cracking came with it, causing the deputy gang leader to emit a painful wail, and immediately realizing something was wrong, he cursed, "Damned, inside my…"

Before he could finish, an orange‑energy colossal lion slammed into his abdomen, then hurled him rapidly backward.

After smashing through a dozen houses in succession, the energy lion abruptly exploded at his stomach.

With a huge blast, the surrounding houses all vanished at once.

However, Lin Feng was no longer paying attention to that side.

Because the Seven‑Star Dou Wang gang leader had already appeared in the sky.

Looking at the androgynous‑looking man in the sky, Lin Feng guessed he was Lu Hao.

Since Lin Feng had just acted, his aura hadn't receded quickly, Lu Hao naturally had already realized it was Lin Feng who moved, and his eyes now looked unfavorably at the former, whose whole body was hidden in a black robe.

Immediately a delicate, androgynous angry voice reached Lin Feng's ears: "You have such nerve, a mere Two‑Star Dou Wang, daring to cause trouble on my territory."

"Hehe, whether I'm daring or not has nothing to do with you; just hand over Ling Shan City to me."

Lin Feng's mouth twitched upward, and he smiled lightly.

"Give it to you? I'd rather hand you over to Hell!"

When Lu Hao finished speaking, sea‑blue Dou Qi surged around him, and a blue whip shot swiftly toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng didn't waste any words; Beast Fire inside him erupted violently, and his aura surged in an instant to Five‑Star Dou Wang.

An orange flame suddenly met the blue whip, and both dissipated into the air, leaving only waves of energy surging outward.

"Hm? A secret technique that raises Dou Qi level!"

Seeing the suddenly soaring aura, Lu Hao was slightly stunned, then understood, his delicate eyes greedily fixed on Lin Feng, and he laughed wildly: "Since such a technique has been offered to me, the gang leader will not be polite."

Having said that, the deep‑blue twin wings on his back trembled, and his figure blasted forward.

At the same time, sea‑blue Dou Qi surged from his right palm, then formed into eight energy serpents that suddenly shot out.

Exhaling lightly, Lin Feng activated Tianyang Huayan Gong, crazily absorbing the wandering Dou Qi of heaven and earth.

As massive Dou Qi flooded his body, all of it was guided by his mind to the meridians of the Fire Origin Palm.

Finally, with the combined absorption of the technique and combat skill, on Lin Feng's raised right palm, an enormous orange palm imprint, ten meters tall, had formed without his noticing.

"Die!"

Lin Feng thrust his palm forward, and the palm imprint, accompanied by a booming sound, slammed into the blue energy serpents.
