Chapter 32: Xiao Yixian's Departure

Clenching his fists, he felt the Dou Qi swelling like never before.

He guided his mind swiftly inward, reaching the Dou Qi vortex.

At this moment, the vortex had completely transformed from a gaseous vortex into a liquid vortex.

Within it, a dozen or so droplets of crimson energy liquid swirled.

Each tiny crimson droplet contained an immensely abundant, robust energy.

Lin Feng did a quick calculation: if he were still a Nine‑Star Dou Fighter, all the Dou Qi in his body would amount to only about three droplets of energy liquid.

Excitedly he opened his eyes, stretched out his hands, and clenched them hard.

In an instant, the crimson Dou Qi floated slowly over his clothing, eventually forming a layer of Dou Qi defense.

This is the signature skill of the Dou Shi realm—Dou Qi Silk Garment!

"Breakthrough succeeded! Let's have dinner first."

As Lin Feng was fiddling with the Dou Qi Silk Garment, a sweet voice came from the doorway.

He looked at Xiao Yixian, who walked in slowly from outside the cave.

Lin Feng looked out through the opening again and saw that the sun had vanished sometime ago, replaced by an endless, hopeless darkness.

Above the pitch‑black night, a silver moon hung high, its pale light draping the earth in a veil of silver, looking especially mysterious.

"It's already night? How fast."

He stepped outside, gazed at the valley in the night, sighed, and then followed Xiao Yixian to the small stove to begin dinner.

"In a few days, I'm planning to go to the Chu Yun Empire."

Seeing Lin Feng eating joyfully, Xiao Yixian lowered her head in silence for a long while, then a low voice emerged from her pink lips.

"Didn't we agree you'd go with me?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng frowned and immediately set his rice bowl down.

He suddenly lifted his head, stared straight into Lin Feng's eyes, and said, "I've already decided."

Seeing Xiao Yixian's resolute gaze, Lin Feng felt a sudden heaviness in his heart.

After months of being together, he knew Xiao Yixian's temperament; once she set her mind on something, persuading her would be impossible.

Thinking of the past months, he had occasionally taken Xiao Yixian into the Magic Beast Mountain Range to slay beasts, gaining some combat experience.

Moreover, with her unique constitution, even a typical Dou Shi peak could be handled.

Besides, he couldn't possibly tie Xiao Yixian to go with him.

Uh... it seems he can no longer beat Xiao Yixian now!

After a moment of thought, Lin Feng could only nod in agreement, saying, "Fine, but I'll give you at most five years. After five years, no matter what, you must return."

Seeing her boyfriend agree, Xiao Yixian let out a sigh of relief.

Although she also wanted to venture out with Lin.

But she knew that, as she is now, going to the Chu Yun Empire was the best choice.

Staying by Lin Feng's side would only bring him trouble.

She secretly tucked the mysterious pill into her sleeve, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and said, "Then, how will I find you?"

"At that time, I should be at Canaan Academy. Of course, if you don't come looking for me then, I'll return here and wait for you."

Gazing at the night sky, Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then said.

"Hmm."

At dawn, atop a massive stone in the valley, Xiao Yixian nestled in Lin Feng's arms and took a gentle breath.

She placed the bamboo whistle from her hand into her rosy little mouth, gave a soft blow, and the faint sound wave instantly rose to the clouds.

Hearing the wave, the blue eagle in the sky swooped down, its wings flapping, scattering the plants beside Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian to the ground.

"Let's go."

She took a step forward, gracefully pressing her soft, delicate body against her boyfriend's chest, and whispered.

Nodding, Lin Feng extended his arm and wrapped it around her seemingly fragile, willow‑like waist.

With a firm push off the ground, their bodies shot upward, finally landing steadily on the back of the blue eagle…

"I hope you can grow quickly, otherwise my restrictions are just too great."

On a mountain ridge, Lin Feng brushed his still‑warm lips, watched the blue eagle's distant silhouette, and murmured.

What he needs most now is a sufficiently powerful strongman to back him.

In that case, as long as he releases some information about exotic flames he possesses.

For the sake of upgrading his cultivation method, the frantic Xiao Yan would have to hop over and apologize and compensate him.

As for whether Xiao Yan also knows some exotic flame news?

Heh, even if he knows, so what? If Xiao Yan dares not pay the silencing fee, don't blame him for spreading the news across the entire Northwest Continent.

Of course, all of this rests on having at least one Dou Zong Level strongman protecting him.

Otherwise, Xiao Yan wouldn't reason with him either.

As soon as they know he has information on exotic flames, they'll likely come over to interrogate and, incidentally, silence him.

"Sigh~"

He sighed lightly, looked at the dim sky, then spread his wings and, while the light was still dim, flew toward Hei Yan Cheng…

"Nothing's changed at all."

A few days later, staring at the Hei Yan Cheng he hadn't seen for half a year, Lin Feng let out a sigh.

He then took out the apprentice alchemist's badge, put it on, and strode into the city.

Following the city's blue‑stone streets, Lin Feng arrived at a secluded spot.

After draping a black hooded robe over his true appearance, he headed straight toward the Miter Auction House...

Mitier Auction House, covering the widest area in the Jia Ma Empire and also the largest auction house, belongs to the wealthiest family in the Jia Ma Empire: the Mitier Family.

Because it has a Battle King-rank expert overseeing it and is extremely wealthy, incidents of client robbery rarely occur.

Therefore, in the Jia Ma Empire, buying and selling goods at Mitier Auction House is considered a relatively safe method.

Soon, Lin Feng arrived before a huge and luxurious golden building.

Under the vigilant gaze of several fully armed guards at the entrance, Lin Feng, wearing a black cloak, walked in without stopping.

Upon entering the auction house, the scorching feeling seemed to be stripped away from the body, replaced by a cool sensation, giving a strange feeling of being in two different worlds inside and out.

Just upon entering the hall, a maid came forward directly.

She bowed to Lin Feng and said softly, 'Esteemed guest, may I ask what you need?'

Lin Feng tugged at the brim of his cloak, and his low voice sounded: 'I need a volume of third-grade prescription. Do you have one here?'

'Okay... okay, guest, please follow me to the VIP room to discuss in detail.'

Upon hearing that Lin Feng wanted to buy a prescription, and a third-grade one at that, the maid was momentarily excited, but her good training quickly brought her composure, and she hurriedly led Lin Feng to the VIP room.

You should know that prescriptions and medicinal cauldrons are not cheap; even the lowest-grade first-grade prescription costs no less than 100,000.

'Yes.'

Lin Feng responded with an affirmation and immediately followed the maid to the VIP room.

Upon reaching the VIP room, the maid at the side quickly served hot tea and then quietly withdrew.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng sat on the precious purple sandalwood chair, silently sipping his tea.
