Chapter 108

"Lin Feng, I'm here again, uh, why are you cultivating?"

Just as he had been quietly cultivating for a few days, Zi Yan's arrival again broke Lin Feng's idea of quiet cultivation.

Seeing Zi Yan, who had become much stronger, Lin Feng's eyes lit up and he asked, "Zi Yan, what star Dou Wang are you now?"

Hearing that, she pondered for a moment, somewhat uncertainly saying: "Before I met you, I should have been around a two-star Dou Wang; these past few months I've been eating the pills you refined, so I should have risen by one star; as for now, I should be a four-star Dou Wang."

"A four-star Dou Wang..."

After hearing that, Lin Feng's brows immediately knit together as he considered their chances against the Eight Gates.

Zi Yan, seeing this, asked: "What's wrong? Could there be another new move recently?"

Thinking of the generous reward she received each time the former succeeded, her pair of purple eyes instantly glowed faintly.

Rubbing his forehead, Lin Feng said with some worry: "Regarding the Black Seal City matter, that Yuan Yi is a two-star Dou Huang; Xiao Cai recently needs to guard the warehouse, and the two of us might not be able to handle it."

"Then let's first have it help us destroy the Eight Gates, then return to guard the warehouse."

Zi Yan waved her hand and said casually.

"No way, I really don't have anyone I can trust right now; if I take it away, by the time I return the warehouse might be completely cleaned out."

Shaking his head, Lin Feng gave a bitter laugh.

Actually, he didn't really value most of the things in the warehouse anymore.

The main thing is that his Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is placed in his newly built warehouse.

He had always carried that thing with him before, but whenever he encountered experts he felt anxious.

So he simply built a warehouse and placed the strange fire inside.

Since he constructed it using stone with a breath-shielding function, unless someone of heavenly strength or the owner of the strange fire approaches this place.

Otherwise, no one would be able to sense the existence of the strange fire.

Furthermore, by assigning Xiao Cai to guard inside, it can be said that he directly raised the security level within his capabilities to the maximum.

"That is indeed troublesome, but revenge doesn't need to be so rushed; we can wait a few years until we become stronger before attacking."

Hearing the former's words, Zi Yan also furrowed her brows slightly, then said.

Lin Feng naturally could not say it was for having a place to exchange for what he needed from Xiao Yan.

After a few seconds of thought, he immediately said: "I previously used a special method to advance to Dou Wang, but it also gave me only three years of lifespan; only by breaking through Dou Wang to reach Dou Huang can this side effect be resolved, so I want to quickly destroy the Eight Gates, obtain their accumulated vast cultivation resources, and help me advance to Dou Huang as soon as possible."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Zi Yan instantly became panicked and exclaimed in shock.

According to what Lin Feng just said, wouldn't his lifespan be less than three years?

If he were gone, who would give her handfuls of pills to eat, and how would she grow up?

"So, I also have no choice; I can only think of ways to quickly eliminate the Eight Gates to obtain more cultivation resources."

Lin Feng waved his hand helplessly.

Zi Yan thought of her best friend actually having less than three years of lifespan left, and she also felt very anxious.

Most importantly, if Lin Feng dies, who will make her delicious pills?

Having eaten the pills for several months, she doesn't want to go back to eating those nasty medicinal ingredients.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and said: "How about this: I'll take you to the inner courtyard; there are things there that can increase cultivation speed."

Hearing that, Lin Feng was startled, never expecting Zi Yan to take such a risk to bring him into the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy.

If discovered, that girl would surely not fare well either.

However, he was also very curious about the Heavenly Flame Qi Tempering Tower inside the inner courtyard that uses Falling Heart Flame to boost cultivation speed.

But then, thinking of the many strong ones inside Canaan Academy, he said worriedly: "There are so many strong ones in there; won't we be discovered?"

After all, if he were discovered, he might just be done for...

"Don't worry, if I take you in together, the chance of being discovered by that old guy Su Qian is very small; moreover, the two other old guys who could discover me are in the outer courtyard's Scripture Pavilion; as long as nothing happens in the inner courtyard, they basically don't care about anything, and as for others, they basically couldn't discover me."

Zi Yan patted her chest and said confidently.

But not long after, the smile on her little face quickly disappeared, and she said solemnly: "However, after you go in, you must be careful, don't cause trouble; otherwise, if discovered you're not a student of Canaan Academy, that'll be troublesome."

After hearing what the former said, Lin Feng also felt somewhat excited.

If he could now enter Canaan Academy ahead of time to check the situation, it might greatly help his later actions.

Moreover, he also obtained an important piece of information from Zi Yan: that Qian Bai Lao usually stays in the outer courtyard and does not go to the inner courtyard.

In that case, his infiltration would become much easier.

Nodding at Zi Yan, he then said: "Don't worry, I still know these things; I just want to speed up my cultivation, and I'm basically not interested in anything else."

"Alright, let's go now."

Zi Yan also understood Lin Feng's personality: as long as the other party doesn't have something he particularly wants, he has no interest in causing trouble.

"Good."

Lin Feng nodded and quickly agreed.

Anyway, he had previously told his subordinates he would go into closed-door training for a period, all affairs had been arranged, and staying in the inner courtyard for a while would not affect the operation of Tianbao Pavilion.

Just as he was about to set off, Lin Feng remembered Xiao Cai in the warehouse, and then said to Zi Yan: "Wait a moment, I'll go tell Xiao Cai I'll come back after a while."

Afterwards, he left the room and walked toward the warehouse...

Moments later, as Lin Feng just arrived at the warehouse, a small colorful figure flashed out.

In the blink of an eye, it was already hovering before him.

Its little tail kept trembling, and Xiao Cai's pair of purple snake eyes were filled with joy and reproach.

It seemed to be asking why he had taken so long to come see it.

Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled slightly and gently stroked the little head of the Heaven-Swallowing Python.

The latter also mildly narrowed its enchanting snake eyes, its tongue lightly flicking onto his palm, the soft wet feeling making Lin Feng feel itchy.

Another hand palm gave a slight tremor, and a bottle of companion purple crystal source appeared in the palm.

Just as the companion source appeared, the Heaven-Swallowing Python shot toward the bottle like lightning, constantly acting coquettish toward Lin Feng.

"Come, eat."

Lin Feng pulled out the stopper, letting Little Color eat as it pleased.

After all, he was going to stay in the inner courtyard for a while, so this time let the little guy have a good meal.

And the Heaven-Swallowing Python also coiled its slender body around the hand and the bottle.

The snake's tongue darted out, probing into the bottle and sucking hard; the companion source in the jade bottle decreased by nearly a third.

Then, satisfied, it raised its head and licked clean the remaining companion source around its mouth.

After Little Color had eaten its fill, Lin Feng gathered the companion source and softly said, "Little guy, I'm going to leave here for a while; I'll come back to see you in a few days, okay?"

"Hiss~"

Upon hearing this, Little Color instantly became anxious, its voice turning sharp as it continuously circled around him.

"Um... Little Color, I have no choice either; this strange fire cannot be taken with me, I'll leave it here, and without you guarding it, I wouldn't feel at ease."

Seeing the Heaven-Swallowing Python's unwilling appearance, Lin Feng also gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying.

"Ying ying~"

Upon hearing this, Little Color's tail brushed its chin, it pondered for a long time, then seemed to have thought of a method, and its pair of bewitching purple eyes slowly closed.

In a moment, the little guy's body suddenly emitted a burst of seven-colored light, and shortly after, a delicate body like a peach appeared before his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Feng slightly tensed again to show respect, but he wasn't too surprised, after all he had seen it several times before.

He quickly guessed the gist of the matter and immediately asked, "Queen, did Little Color reach some kind of deal with you?"

"You're not stupid; the little guy let me control his body for seven days, on the condition that I help you protect this strange fire."

Speaking, Medusa waved her jade hand, and the space at the warehouse's center twisted.

Afterward, the stone platform, together with the black crystal lotus seat placed upon it, vanished altogether, as if it had never existed.

Having done all that, Medusa immediately turned her head, looked at Lin Feng beside her, and said, "I have set up some measures around the Qing Lian Earth Core Fire; unless a Dou Huang peak expert arrives, your subordinates could never break it, and moreover, if anyone touches the protection, I, the king, will also sense it."

"Thank you, Queen, for your help."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's face instantly lit up with delight, and he said with a smile.

With Medusa's Dou Zong expert's protective shield set up, few in the northern Heijiaoyu could break it, so there's basically no need to worry too much.

Moreover, after this warehouse was built, he also expressly forbade others from entering; outsiders simply had no idea that there was a strange fire inside.

"But I really don't understand you; you went to great lengths to obtain this strange fire, yet you never absorb it."

Playing with her own nails, Medusa's beautiful eyes scanned Lin Feng up and down, then she slowly said.

"Hehe, it's just that the timing hasn't arrived yet."

Lin Feng gave a mysterious smile and softly said.

"Tsk."

Seeing that he was unwilling to tell her, Medusa frowned, always feeling that Lin Feng was plotting something.

After pondering for a long time and still unable to figure it out, Medusa instantly transformed into a streak of seven-colored light, swiftly flashing into Lin Feng's sleeve, and then said, "Come on, let's see where you're heading to this time."

Hearing the alluring female voice coming from within his sleeve, Lin Feng turned and walked toward the outside, at the same time saying with a solemn expression, "This time I'm going to the Canaan Academy; Queen, you must be careful."

"Understood."

Upon going outside, as Lin Feng closed the heavy stone gate, a spatial power once again protected the gate.

Seeing this level of protection, he was also extremely satisfied and nodded, then walked toward Zi Yan's side...
