Chapter 1373: then translation of chapter title

"It won't, because that person has a secret method that can merge with that Emperor-grade fledgling pill; afterwards, as long as he has time to handle it, he can perfectly resolve this problem. And just as I said before, back then I was still a Nine-Star Dou Saint, so naturally I couldn't stop the person who swallowed the Emperor-grade fledgling pill, so he wasn't blown apart by the pill's energy."

Seeing the doubtful look of the former, Lin Feng waved his hand and cleared up the confusion for him.

"Oh, it seems that person is quite well prepared. For this kind of esoteric secret method, he has made preparations."

After hearing the former's explanation, the Phoenix Clan Chief exclaimed in surprise.

But immediately after, she said with a strange expression: "Although your idea is correct, according to my previous experience, relying on that bit of source energy in your body, you simply cannot break through to Dou Emperor no matter what."

"Hehe, senior, you needn't worry. Besides that Emperor-grade fledgling pill, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor also left behind an inheritance that can help one advance to Dou Emperor. Therefore, I have come this time to seek your advice on the experience of breaking through to Dou Emperor, hoping to surpass that person and achieve the breakthrough first, so as to conveniently resolve this matter."

Speaking to this point, Lin Feng suddenly changed the tone, then clasped his hands and said: "Of course, junior naturally won't let you work for nothing; now I am already a Ninth-Grade Golden Core Master, and I also hold a volume of resurrection secret method. As long as senior helps me resolve this matter, afterwards I will naturally assist you in resurrecting and advancing to Dou Emperor."

Worried that the other party might be unwilling or cut corners on the experience, he immediately offered another guarantee.

And while speaking, he waved his hand, and under his precise control of Dou Qi, the general information of the resurrection secret method.

It then appeared, character by character, before the Phoenix Clan Chief.

"Eh, your resurrection method is surprisingly amazing."

Gazing at the information about the resurrection secret method before him, the latter's face instantly filled with surprise.

Originally, upon hearing the other party say they would help her resurrect, she still thought it was like those resurrection secret methods she had seen in her life, which had various side effects.

But unexpectedly, this volume of resurrection secret method managed to do what those previous secret methods could not—achieve a perfect resurrection without any side effects!

And thinking of this, the Phoenix Clan Chief immediately nodded and said: "No problem, although I previously failed to break through to Dou Emperor, after all I have walked that path once, so helping you avoid some of the pits I once fell into is still fine. But I never expected that Tuoshe Ancient Emperor would actually have left behind such a trick."

Speaking of this, the Phoenix Clan Chief also gave a bitter smile.

I previously fought the Ancient Dragon Clan to the death, yet ended up gaining nothing.

But the young ones behind them, despite their youth, have already reached the peak realm she once took pride in.

Moreover, they even found the inheritance left behind by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

Although she has never seen it, what exactly is the inheritance left behind by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor?

But one can easily guess that, since the other party deliberately left behind this inheritance, its effect in helping one advance to Dou Emperor is surely far superior to the crude method of forcefully breaking through by consuming Emperor-grade pills and utilizing their source energy and massive power.

Faced with this scene, she also momentarily didn't know what to say.

All she could do was sigh, truly fate plays tricks on people!

And immediately after, she began to explain to Lin Feng how the process of advancing to Dou Emperor works, the role of source energy in it, and how to use it.

Furthermore, the Phoenix Clan Chief also informed Lin Feng of the pitfalls in the advancement process.

And in this, he also gained quite a lot.

At least, he is no longer so unfamiliar with the matter of advancing to Dou Emperor.

"By the way, I also have some information here on how to maximize the potential of the Dragon-Phoenix Body; I'll give it to you as well, since I'm holding it and it's of no use to me."

While speaking, the Phoenix Clan Chief immediately emitted a stream of information, which then swiftly shot into Lin Feng's mind.

Immediately after, a large amount of information on how to use the Dragon-Phoenix Body, as well as various Dragon-Phoenix-related combat techniques, all appeared in his mind.

And seeing many of those skills and combat techniques, Lin Feng was continually amazed.

However, this is not surprising, although he has possessed the Dragon-Phoenix Body for many years.

But compared to the Phoenix Clan, who have researched this physique for who knows how many ages, he himself appears like a novice.

Well, it's not just seeming like it; in front of the Phoenix Clan, he actually is.

After finishing viewing this information, Lin Feng promptly clasped his hands, his expression solemn, and said: "Thank you, senior, rest assured; as long as our plan succeeds, once we achieve success, I will definitely return to resurrect you."

Having said that, the former's figure gradually faded away.

At the same time, his aura also quickly vanished from this space.

"What needs to be understood has been clarified; it's also time to go back and successfully refine that pill. After all, only that pill can speed up the steps to advance to Dou Emperor!"

Not long after, Lin Feng, who had left the small world where the Phoenix Clan Chief resided, gazed at the distant horizon and couldn't help but sigh.

And just as his words fell, his figure suddenly vanished from that horizon.

After all, one day outside equals five or six days inside the Tian Mu; he must hurry back.

Otherwise, if delayed, that girl now lacks the ability to refine the Nine Palaces Founding Emperor Pill.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Ling saw that Lin Feng had still not returned, and her little face was about to wrinkle into a ball.

As for her now, she has been refining these medicinal ingredients here for several days, but her master still hasn't returned.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but mutter: "This hateful master just knows to dump me here to work while he himself runs off outside to play."

"Xiao Ling, what are you muttering about? You wouldn't be scolding me, would you?"

And while she was muttering softly, Lin Feng's voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

At the same time, upon hearing the voice behind her, the girl's expression instantly changed.

Immediately after, she hurriedly stood up and said in a fawning manner: "Master, you're back; the medicinal ingredients are almost finished refining, just waiting for you to return and combine them."

While speaking, behind the girl it seemed as if a tail was wagging rapidly.

And Lin Feng, seeing the girl's expression, felt his mouth corner twitch slightly.

But soon, his gaze shifted to the distant black cauldron.

After probing it a bit, he quickly discovered that the medicinal ingredients inside were indeed, as the girl said, nearly finished refining.

Seeing that, he didn't bother to worry about what the girl had been doing earlier; he immediately sat cross-legged and took control of the flame.

Immediately after, he entered the process of pill refining.

"Boom!"

In this eternally gray and misty Tian Mu, half a month after Lin Feng took over the pill refining, a thunderous boom suddenly erupted in this third layer.

At the same time, a massive surge of energy directly shattered that black cauldron, and in the blink of an eye it swept away several thousand zhang.

And Lin Feng, seeing this, waved his hand and immediately erected an energy barrier, successfully blocking those energy shockwaves.

However, on his face there was a hint of disappointment that could not be concealed.

Ah, this peak‑level ninth‑grade golden core pill is indeed not easy to refine; it hasn't even finished merging, and it directly failed.

Gazing at the relentless shockwave ahead, Lin Feng couldn't help but let out a bitter sigh.

Although he knew he was refining such a grade of pill for the first time.

Failure is to be expected.

But experiencing it firsthand still left him greatly disappointed.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling immediately grabbed a strand of hair beside her, rubbed it, then stepped forward to comfort him: "It's fine, Master; we can just try again. With your strength, we will surely succeed next time."

"Hehe, I'm fine, just feeling a bit disappointed."

Hearing that, Lin Feng immediately rubbed the girl's soft, tender cheek, then smiled faintly.

As soon as his words fell, he turned his head back.

Immediately, he waved his big hand, releasing a sky‑covering black flame.

"Boom!"

As soon as the flames appeared, a thought moved him, and they condensed once more into a towering fire cauldron a thousand zhang tall.

After the cauldron took shape, Chen Shuo wasted no words, continuing to take out a batch of medicinal herbs and throw them in.

After all, as long as the medicine store isn't empty, he would certainly not give up on this pill.

As for Xiao Ling, she stood aside assisting the former, helping her master refine the pill.

As a fire spirit, she could still be of considerable help in pill refining.

And while the two worked together to refine the pill, two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Of course, the two months referred to here are the time inside the Tian Mu, not the outside world.

However, the Nine Palace Founding Emperor Pill that Lin Feng had been longing for still had not been successfully refined.

"This is the third time; I hope it doesn't fail again."

Gazing at the thousand‑zhang giant cauldron ahead, Lin Feng couldn't help but mutter.

Indeed, this furnace of pill is already the third attempt.

The previous two attempts both failed for various reasons.

Now this third attempt, Lin Feng truly does not want to fail again.

Therefore, his refining this time is especially careful.

As for Xiao Ling beside him, at this moment her delicate little face was likewise filled with a solemn expression.

"Boom!"

After continuing the refining for several days like this, a shockwave burst violently from within the fire cauldron, then fiercely struck the black fire cauldron, causing the medicine cauldron to resonate with booms.

However, with the continual emission of that energy shockwave, the fire cauldron could not stay still for a moment, constantly being struck and emitting heavy metallic collision sounds.

At the same time, ripples continually rose and spread rapidly across the wall of the fire cauldron.

"Master, the pill is about to condense into a nascent pill!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ling instantly became excited, slapping Lin Feng's shoulder beside her and shouting.

"I know, don't slap me."

Lin Feng, seeing the little hand repeatedly hitting his shoulder, snapped angrily.

As soon as his words fell, he immediately increased the flame, roasting the semi‑solid energy mass inside.

Inside the medicine cauldron, that mass of energy was enough to shock even a Nine Star Dou Saint.

At this very moment, it was being roasted until mist spread everywhere.

The proportion of liquid inside was likewise decreasing rapidly.

"Whoosh!"

After such roasting continued for a day, the whooshing wind sound then began to slowly rise within the Tian Mu.

Furthermore, accompanied by this wind sound, a vast wind‑flow vortex tens of thousands of zhang in size rapidly formed above the medicine cauldron.

At the same time, the surrounding heaven‑and‑earth energy.

In that instant, it was instantly sucked in and then fell into the vortex.

"As expected of a peak‑level ninth‑grade golden core pill, just a step away from emperor grade, it's indeed formidable. The required energy is simply incomparable to that of the previous Return Origin Increase Qi Pill—who knows how much stronger it is."

Seeing this situation, Lin Feng stood up and couldn't help but sigh.

But immediately afterward, he shook his head and said: "Looking at the current situation, the energy inside this Tian Mu is certainly not enough for it to be born."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling's face, which had been full of smiles, instantly froze in place.

Soon after, the girl anxiously looked at Lin Feng and said: "Master, what should we do now? This is the result we barely succeeded in after three attempts and nearly three months. We can't just watch it be destroyed due to lack of energy, can we?"

After all, during this time she had personally witnessed how much her master needed this pill.

Now, after great difficulty, we can see success just ahead; we absolutely cannot fail at this crucial moment!

"Hehe, little girl, don't panic; since the energy inside the Tian Mu isn't enough, let's just supplement it with outside energy."

Seeing her appearance of turning in circles, Lin Feng immediately rubbed Xiao Ling's head, soothing her emotions.

Moreover, he couldn't possibly just watch the pill he had painstakingly obtained after great effort be stifled and destroyed like this.

Then, immediately afterward, he stretched both hands above his head and fiercely pulled outward.

"Screech!"

In an instant, only a piercing screech was heard.

Immediately afterward, the originally dim and gloomy Tian Mu was suddenly bathed in warm orange‑yellow sunlight from above.

At the same time, the fire cauldron swiftly rose into the air, and in the blink of an eye reached the top of the Tian Mu.

As for the vast ten‑thousand‑zhang vortex above the giant cauldron, it directly left the Tian Mu's domain and began to rage in the outside world.

As the vortex kept accelerating, once it reached a certain speed,

The original mist vortex quickly became a huge light vortex emitting seven-colored radiant light.

Boom—

At the same time, a thunder-like rumbling sound also began to slowly spread through the surrounding sky, until it spread far away.

However, the seven-colored radiant light on the vortex, although it looked extremely like the neon lights of Blue Star.

But Lin Feng clearly knew in his heart that it was because the vortex's rotation speed had become extremely close to the speed of light.

Causing the heaven-and-earth energy sucked inside to constantly collide with each other.

Under the support of immense force, the explosive light points produced by the collisions.

In other words, looking out, the light filling the entire ten-thousand-zhang vortex is all produced by countless micro-explosions! (End of chapter)
