"I'll trade a seventh-grade high-quality Yuan-boosting Pill for it—how about that?"

"This price would be fine for a common-attribute high-level earth-rank battle skill, but you should know such attributes are rare, so your offer is still insufficient."

Translation: "This price, if it were a common-attribute Earth Tier High-level Dou Technique, I would accept it, but you should also know that High-level Dou Techniques of this attribute are rare, so your offer is still insufficient."

Hearing his offer, Feng Qing'er shook her head.

Translation: Hearing his offer, Feng Qinger shook her head.

Upon hearing his refusal, the old hag's wrinkled face instantly broke into a smile.

Translation: Hearing his refusal, a smile instantly appeared on the wrinkled old face of Yin Po.

As long as their deal fails, her opportunity arrives!

Lin Feng furrowed his brows, beginning to ponder what might interest the other party.

Translation: Lin Feng, meanwhile, furrowed his brows and began to think about what might interest the other party.

But soon he gained confidence.

Breaking through from Dou Huang to Dou Zong is a major hurdle; he didn't believe the other wouldn't be tempted.

Translation: Breaking through from Dou Emperor to Dou Sect is a major hurdle; he just didn't believe the other party wouldn't be moved.

Moreover, summoning the Tian Yao Phoenix clan could lead to unpleasantness.

Even if the Gold‑eating Rat clan refuses him face, they surely wouldn't dare slight Feng Qing'er.

Translation: Even if the Gold-Eating Rat Clan didn't give him face, they certainly wouldn't dare to deny Feng Qinger face.

He then mobilized his soul power, transmitting a piece of information into Feng Qing'er's mind.

Translation: He immediately mobilized his soul power, transmitting a piece of information into Feng Qinger's mind.

"Is everything you just said true?"

Upon hearing his information, Feng Qing'er's expression showed slight surprise as she confirmed.

Translation: Upon hearing his information, Feng Qinger's expression also showed slight surprise as she confirmed.

If one could use this energy, accumulated naturally over countless years, to break through to Dou Zong.

Translation: If one could use this energy, accumulated naturally over countless years, to break through to Dou Sect.

In every aspect, it would naturally be far superior to using a Po Zong Dan.

Translation: In every aspect, it would naturally be far superior to using the Sect-Breaking Pill.

Seeing her interest, Lin Feng's mouth curled up slightly as he said, "I also happen to want to go there to attempt a breakthrough to Dou Zong; why don't you follow me for now? After we finish our business, we can go together. If the information is false, you may do as you wish."

Translation: Seeing her interest, Lin Feng's mouth corners instantly twitched up as he said, "I also happen to want to go there to attempt a breakthrough to Dou Sect; why don't you follow me for now? After we finish our business, we can go together; if the information is false, you may dispose of me as you wish!"

"Alright, then take this battle skill scroll."

Translation: "Alright, then take this scroll of Dou Technique."

As Feng Qing'er's clear voice rang out, the gray‑black scroll on the wooden table suddenly flew up, arcing through the air toward Lin Feng.

Translation: When Feng Qinger's clear voice rang out, the gray-black scroll on the wooden table suddenly flew up, tracing an arc in the air and shooting toward Lin Feng.

Seeing that, he caught it in the old woman's astonished gaze and immediately stored it in his spatial ring.

Translation: Seeing that, he caught it in one hand amidst Yin Po's astonished gaze, then immediately placed it into his Storage Ring.

He then took out a jade bottle and flicked it toward Feng Qing'er.

As for the old woman's gaze filled with hatred and greed, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

Translation: As for Yin Po's gaze, mixed with hatred and greed, he also couldn't be bothered to deal with it.

After experiencing such things many times, he has grown accustomed to them.

Feng Qing'er took the pill, stood up, and gathered all the items on the table.

Translation: Feng Qinger received the pill, then stood up and put away all the items on the wooden table before her.

She came here merely to pass the time.

Translation: She came here merely to pass the time.

Now that she happened upon information that could break through the bottleneck, there's no need to linger any longer.

Translation: Now that she happened to find information capable of breaking through the barrier, there's no need to linger any longer.

As for Xiao Yixian, her pretty face instantly darkened upon seeing their actions.

Translation: As for Xiao Yixian, upon seeing their actions, her pretty face instantly sank.

Her gaze toward the beautifully dressed, slender Feng Qing'er likewise gained a hint of hostility.

Translation: Her gaze toward the Feng Qinger dressed in colorful robes, tall and slender, likewise gained a hint of hostility.

"Is this your maid? She seems poorly trained."

Translation: "Is this your maid? Looking at her appearance, she seems not to have been properly trained."

Sensing that faint hostility, Feng Qing'er replied coldly.

Translation: Feeling that faint hostility from her, Feng Qinger replied coldly.

"Hehe, I hope Miss Feng can understand; after all, a woman suddenly approaching my husband naturally makes me, as his wife, a little displeased."

Translation: "Hehe, I hope Miss Feng can understand; after all, a woman suddenly approaching my husband, as his wife, it's normal for me to feel some displeasure."

Xiao Yixian walked to Lin Feng's side, wrapped her jade arm around his arm, and smiled gently.

Translation: Xiao Yixian walked to Lin Feng's side, wrapped her jade arm around his arm, and smiled gently.

Hearing that, Feng Qing'er's brows knitted.

Translation: Hearing that, Feng Qinger's beautiful brows furrowed.

Although Lin Feng's talent is excellent, she is not the type to cling to a genius at first sight.

Translation: Although Lin Feng's talent is excellent, she is not the type of woman who would immediately cling to a genius upon seeing one.

Watching Xiao Yixian's reaction, Lin Feng let out a light sigh, immediately tugged at her sleeve, hoping she would calm down.

Translation: Watching Xiao Yixian's reaction, Lin Feng let out a light sigh, immediately tugged at her sleeve, hoping she could calm down.

At the same time, a hint of guilt welled up in his heart.

Translation: At the same time, a hint of guilt also surfaced in his heart.

After all, his intention to make Feng Qing'er his own is undoubtedly hurting her.

Translation: After all, his attempt to make Feng Qinger his own undoubtedly harmed her.

But to pursue greater power, he has no choice but to do so.

Translation: But in pursuit of greater power, he could only do this.

If Feng Qing'er grows to a suitable level, she could then inherit the legacy of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Translation: If one waits for Feng Qinger to grow to a suitable realm, she could then inherit the legacy of that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Thus, Feng Qing'er should be able to secure the position of clan chief of the Tian Yao Phoenix tribe.

Translation: In that way, Feng Qinger should be able to firmly hold the position of clan chief of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

Through some means, he might then be able to unite the entire strength of the Central Plains beast clans.

Translation: Furthermore, through some means, he might be able to gather the full strength of the Central State Beast Clan.

With his current relationship with Zi Yan, he would likely be able to win over the old dragon emperor residing in the Ancient Emperor's Cave.

Translation: That being the case, relying on his current relationship with Zi Yan, he would likely be able to win over the Old Dragon Emperor inside the Gu Di Dong Fu.

In the future, perhaps he could even vie for the Emperor-grade Infant Dan!

Translation: Thereafter, perhaps they could even vie for the Emperor-Grade Infant Pill!

Even if he hasn't reached Dou Sheng by then, waiting for the old dragon emperor or Zi Yan to use the Infant Dan to advance to Dou Di...

Translation: Even if he hadn't reached Dou Saint by then, waiting for the Old Dragon Emperor or Zi Yan to use the Infant Pill to advance to Dou Emperor.

... thanks to his relationship with Zi Yan, he should be able to obtain some source qi.

Translation: Relying on his relationship with Zi Yan, he should be able to obtain some Source Qi.

Then his future path would basically be smooth.

Translation: In that case, his future path would basically be smooth.

Of course, if that's possible.

Translation: Of course, if that were possible.

Best would be for him to accept the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's inheritance and then advance to Dou Di!

Translation: Best would be for him to personally accept the Shatuo Ancient Emperor's inheritance and then advance to Dou Emperor!

However, the Taigu Ancient Dragon and the Tian Yao Phoenix clans share a deep blood feud.

Translation: However, between the Grand Void Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clans, there lies a deep blood feud.

How to handle their relationship is also a major headache.

Translation: How to handle their relationship is also an extremely troublesome problem.

As for the Ancient Dragon clan, if Zi Yan becomes chief and Zhu Kun remains trapped in the Ancient Emperor's Cave unable to leave...

Translation: As for the Ancient Dragon Clan side, as long as Zi Yan becomes clan chief, plus Zhu Kun being trapped in the Gu Di Dong Fu unable to leave,

... if he uses this to persuade them, the Ancient Dragon clan will likely be willing to set aside their dispute.

Translation: if he uses this to lobby, the Ancient Dragon Clan would likely be willing to set aside their disputes.

Other matters can be discussed after rescuing the old clan chief.

Translation: Other matters, to be discussed after rescuing the old clan chief.

As for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, that is truly the problem.

If we can't push up a clan chief with strong bloodline power, there's definitely no chance.

But he actually has no other choice now.

After all, Xiao Yan is always thinking about his strange fire, while Gu Xun'er unconditionally obeys him.

If the ancient dragon clan allies with these people, he estimates it would be even more urgent than the Soul Clan.

Because once the ancient clan person becomes an emperor, Xiao Yan will definitely have Gu Xun'er ask someone to act and get rid of him, this cultivator of the Flame Mantra.

As for having the ancient dragon clan ally with the Soul Clan, heh.

It's estimated that when the Soul Heavenly Emperor finishes the final step of refining emperor-grade pills, everyone's fate won't be good.

"By the way, I'm Feng Qinger. I still don't know your name."

Just as Lin Feng was pondering, a slightly cold voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

Hearing that, he subconsciously raised his head, looking at the phoenix-like noble Feng Qinger, and said, "My name is Lin Feng."

Immediately after, he pointed to Xiao Yixian beside him and said, "She is Xiao Yixian."

"Hn."

After the former finished speaking, Feng Qinger nodded, indicating she knew.

At the same time, her beautiful eyes glanced at the silver-haired beauty beside Lin Feng.

Suddenly encountering a woman whose talent surpasses her own, she naturally pays more attention, secretly comparing the two in her heart.

This woman, although her appearance is somewhat inferior to hers,

however, her fresh and ethereal aura greatly increases her charm.

Moreover, her slender waist that cannot be fully encircled by one hand is something she has never possessed.

Xiao Yixian, who had been stared at by the former, also seemed to feel the other's gaze, and immediately turned her head and glared at her.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that the gap between the two is not big, Feng Qinger coldly snorted and stopped comparing these things.

"Um, let's first go to the middle of the venue; I heard there's also a small auction-style trade fair there, I need to buy some things there, after that we'll go to Tianmu Shanmai."

Seeing the scene become somewhat subtle, Lin Feng hurriedly spoke.

"Okay."

The two women nodded in unison and agreed.

Seeing that, Lin Feng turned around, pulled Xiao Yixian and walked toward the center of the venue.

And Feng Qinger also brought along two Elders of the Fenglei Pavilion like background props, following the former.

However, before walking, Lin Feng furtively glanced at an old man hidden in the crowd who had been watching the show for a long time.

Although the old man's appearance is extremely inconspicuous, the set of exclusive robes of the Bone Transformation Sect Elder he wears exposes his identity.

This old guy came here not long after Lin Feng's conflict with that Yin Po.

However, after that, he showed no intention of coming out to resolve the conflict.

At that time, the Yin Po actually moved her hand right under the former's eyelids.

Obviously, that Yin Po certainly knows this Bone Transformation Sect Elder.

Or perhaps the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and this Bone Transformation Sect have some relation.

Therefore, precisely because of this, even if they know his identity as a Seventh-Tier Alchemist, they have no intention of coming out to befriend him.

Watching Lin Feng's departing back, the Yin Po forgotten aside clenched her withered hand tightly around her cane.

In her murky dark-green eyes, at this moment surges forth a rich killing intent!
