Chapter 165

Afterwards, the white light slowly writhed, and finally turned into an illusory old man's silhouette.

Hehe, as expected, an alchemist's perception is indeed much sharper...

With the old man's appearance, a faint, aged voice slowly sounded in this space.

Obviously, he thought Lin Feng had detected his presence through soul perception scanning.

Hearing that, Lin Feng and Medusa followed the sound and saw that the figure wore a white robe, with beard and hair pure white.

Although the face was aged, within the plain eyes flickered a faint gleam.

As soon as this illusory soul body appeared, it made Lin Feng and Medusa feel an oppressive sensation spreading from the heart.

Old sir, you are...

Upon seeing the Heaven Flame Venerable, Lin Feng feigned ignorance and began to ask.

The white-robed old man thought that he still needed these two people before him to take him out of this dead magma world.

Lin Feng seemed startled, and hurriedly confirmed with the former.

Oh, I never expected that the Cannan Academy down there would be so weak.

Then, tempting Hou Ke, he said: "Folks, how about it, as an alchemist, he has no interest in that seventeenth-ranked Fallen Lin Feng strange fire?"

Hearing that, Xin Yan nodded and shook his head, asking: "Junior, what do you need me to do?"

Junior is missing an eighth-grade pill recipe called the Soul-Fusing Pill; its effect is precisely to restore the soul. You have even refined one before and gave it to your wife to take. Junior is the later master of that mature Fallen Lin Feng inside and should be unable to subdue it. If Junior can hand over those two strange fires to you, Junior will then strive to refine the Soul-Fusing Pill for Junior to restore the soul.

Are these the red lizards inside? Just now outside the magma you sensed several Dou Zong-level existences; presumably they are a strong clan.

Correct, this time you have encountered a weakling of the Dou Zun-ranked lizard clan. If at peak condition, you would surely fear it. But unfortunately, now the two strange fires are contending, which has already left you heavily injured. As for the previous outcome, you can also guess... it's already over. Those lizard clan weaklings do not understand spatial power, thus they have always been unable to find your hiding place.

Venerable? Could it be that senior is a Dou Zun?

However, she also did not oppose it; anyway, Lin Feng's gain is also her gain.

Junior truly looks up to you; the dean of that Cannan Academy below can be just like Junior, a Dou Zun-level weakling. Moreover, even if our dean is currently present, he has left two Dou Zong Pinnacle-level weaklings to hold the fort. As an eighth-grade alchemist from a lower sect attempting to snatch a strange fire, you'd be done for with a single mistake...

Because it had been too long since I spoke with someone, at this moment I suddenly saw his surprised expression, and my vanity instantly gained a tiny satisfaction.

If it were because I once thought my strength was weak and recklessly courted death, that would also have led to my present situation.

Immediately, he then said to himself: "Back then you relied on a little ability, thinking you could go anywhere under heaven; while wandering in that magma world, you discovered a Fallen Lin Feng and absorbed it. Not the mature one below, I suppose they haven't seen it yet... But previously, you did not just leave; instead, you strangely delved deeper into that magma world..."

Upon hearing those words, Xin Yan knew that the other party also knew of the existence of the Mang Tian Chi, gave a bitter laugh, and explained.

Seeing Xin Yan's changed expression, the Heaven Flame Venerable nodded in satisfaction.

Heaven Flame was also startled, ending his contemplation of gains and losses.

Hey, his eldest son is still quite greedy. However, look at the weakness of his soul power; he should be an eighth-grade alchemist, and moreover his wife is a Dou Zong. Look at that Fallen Lin Feng inside—would simply snatching it over be enough?

After a brief pause, he then continued to tempt: "As long as he refuses, you just give that Fallen Lin Feng to him."

To seize a single strange fire, logically speaking, is also difficult...

And Medusa behind him had long been thoroughly familiar with the former's entire body.

He waved his hand and smiled faintly: "They are using fear; this is just after birth. Now you only have a faint remnant soul left; with his wife's strength, it is enough to completely annihilate."

Hearing his tone, one knows this guy is trying to screw people over.

After hearing that, Xin Yan shook his head and agreed: "Currently, the lower space of that magma world has not yet been controlled by a force called the Cannan Academy. If you want to obtain the minor Fallen Lin Feng inside, you should first exchange the major Fallen Lin Feng in Junior's hand with that force, to avoid unpleasantness."

By this point, the Heaven Flame Venerable's tone revealed a hint of regret.

Before delving into the magma world, you at that time again discovered a seed of the Fallen Hou Ke strange fire. That discovery made you quite delighted, so you wanted to greedily also collect that Fallen Hou Ke strange fire seed. As a result, the two strange fires merged within your body; not only did they fail to perfectly fuse, but they repelled each other like enemies. This strange fire battle left you heavily injured, and at that moment you were ambushed...

The Heaven Flame Venerable first snorted, then said: "Given your current state, you probably have at most seven or eight years left before your soul completely dissipates. You see his soul power is also quite strong; there's a small chance he is also an alchemist, so for repairing the soul, you likely have little understanding. What you need is not to be taken out of that visible sky magma world, but rather to be helped in restoring the soul."

That information, Xin Yan naturally already knew, so he actually had not a little interest.

Having said that, Xin Yan worried the temptation wasn't enough, so he increased the intensity: "Even, Junior has also heard of some miraculous secret arts that can enable the soul to regain a fleshly body, and almost have no side effects. As long as Junior trades those two strange fires with you, Junior will naturally strive to find such secret arts."

If I were worried that saying too little would arouse the Heaven Flame Venerable's vigilance, and if I were trading with myself, I would have laid it all out upfront.

He then smiled and said slowly: "I am the old man Yao Tian Huo; others sometimes also call me the Heaven Flame Venerable."

While speaking, an arrogance emanating from the bones unconsciously radiated out.

However, Medusa beside him felt it was rather boring.

By this point, the Heaven Flame Venerable could not help but feel a sigh.

At that time, Medusa, supporting her slender waist with one hand, said.

After speaking, the Heaven Flame Venerable extended his palm, sucking the juvenile Fallen Lin Feng beside him into his palm.

The Heaven Flame Venerable looked at the two opposite him and then said.

In my view, that combination of Xin Yan and his wife is sufficient in the remote Xi Bei Xiao Lu to resolve some minor problems.

Hey! His eldest son keeps nodding and shaking his head—what on earth does that mean?
