Chapter 60: Organizing the Harvest
After arriving at the room and checking it over, Lin Feng finally felt at ease sitting in the cultivation area inside the room.
He took out Hai Bo Dong's storage ring and began to sort through it carefully.
Lin Feng had been on the back of a flying magic beast these past few days, and the soundproofing of those rooms was very poor.
He worried that if he got too excited, people in the neighboring room would notice something odd, so he had not yet sorted it.
Now that he had reached this safe place, he could finally relax and sort through the spoils inside that storage ring...
After a moment of tidying, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth rose so high they almost reached the base of his ears.
Hai Bo Dong, as the supreme elder of a merchant family, truly lived up to his reputation—the collection in his storage ring was incredibly rich.
Inside, there were as many as eight high-level Mysterious Tier fighting techniques alone.
Moreover, several of them were Hai Bo Dong's signature techniques.
If he were to exchange them, he would surely obtain an extremely favorable price.
Of course, these items definitely could not be traded within the Jia Ma Empire.
As for the numerous low- to mid-level Mysterious Tier fighting techniques, they formed a huge pile, and he was too lazy to count them.
As for Mysterious Tier cultivation methods, there were far fewer of them.
However, among them, a high-level Mysterious Tier cultivation method titled "Ice-Cold Secret" seemed somewhat strange.
Surprisingly, Hai Bo Dong, a Fighting Emperor, had stored it separately in his storage ring.
Lin Feng took it out, held it in his hand, and examined the white scroll.
After a moment, Lin Feng guessed that this must be the cultivation technique Hai Bo Dong practiced.
He played with it for a while, then put away the Ice-Cold Secret scroll.
Next, he took out several gold coin cards, flipped through them, and discovered that one of them was an exceptionally exquisite purple-gold card.
Such a purple-gold card required at least the strength of a Fighting King to be eligible for use.
Lin Feng added up the amounts on the several gold coin cards and found they totaled about three million.
Then he stored them away, took out the ancient prescription, and Lin Feng's expression became even more excited, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
Although Hai Bo Dong had stored only a single prescription, it was for a sixth-grade pill—the formula for the Calamity-Breaking Pill!
Its value was probably comparable only to that of an Earth Tier fighting technique.
He carefully put the prescription away, looked at the three portions of Calamity-Breaking Pill ingredients, and placed them together with the prescription.
Afterwards, Lin Feng also discovered a considerable number of fourth-grade pills and a small amount of fifth-grade pills.
As for the rest, Lin Feng paid little attention, merely glanced over them, and then stored them in the storage ring.
After finishing sorting Hai Bo Dong's storage ring, Lin Feng touched the storage ring that contained the Earth Core Fire.
After a moment, he thought of how to handle this strange fire.
Lin Feng decided that, after half a year, when the Jia Nan Academy recruits students, he would apply to go there.
Then he would trade the strange fire with the fifth-grade peak alchemist of the Alchemy Department, Elder Huo.
He believed that not only could he obtain Earth Tier cultivation methods and fighting techniques, but also that, if he later acquired the method for condensing poison pills,
when helping Xiao Yixian condense her poison pill, Elder Huo would surely be willing to lend the strange fire for Lin Feng's use.
The reason he went to such great lengths to obtain the strange fire was none other than for Xiao Yixian.
However, thinking of the strange fire, Lin Feng took out the empty Green Lotus Stand from his storage ring.
Gazing at the eleven Earth Core Lotus Seeds around it, Lin Feng carefully removed each one and placed them into a jade bottle for storage.
The value of these seeds could rival some fifth-grade pills, making them quite precious items.
After finishing everything, Lin Feng placed the lotus stand on the ground, jumped onto it, sat cross-legged, and then began to cultivate.
He now had a faint sense of being a four-star Fighting Master.
Originally, he was confident he could advance to four-star Fighting Master in about half a month.
Now, experiencing the aid of the lotus stand, he felt confident that he would break through in no more than a week.
Meanwhile, while Lin Feng was cultivating, Hai Bo Dong, somewhat embarrassed, was flying toward the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.
At that moment, he was constantly cursing the old monster of the Jia Ma Imperial Family in his heart.
As soon as they met, that old thing gave him such a great blow to his prestige.
If Hai Bo Dong had not been sealed for several decades, he would certainly now be a peak Fighting Emperor powerhouse, and would not have fallen to such a lowly state.
"Huh? There's a Fighting King battling ahead."
Sensing the fluctuations of Fighting Qi coming from ahead, Hai Bo Dong snapped back to attention.
After hesitating for a moment, he then flew toward the direction of the battle...
Yao Chen controlled Xiao Yan's body, exhibiting Fighting King-level combat power.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
White flames clung to his fist, directly burning off the sleeves of the black robe, and he fiercely struck the face of a fifth-rank peak magic beast.
"Boom!"
That fifth-rank magic beast, accompanied by an explosive sound, collapsed unconscious to the ground.
Yao Chen subconsciously touched his chin, approached the magic beast, and controlled Xiao Yan's arm to place it on the beast's abdomen.
Sinking his mind into the magic beast's body, he gave a hard tug, and a beast fire was forcibly pulled out.
At the moment this flame appeared, the magic beast's aura instantly waned.
Judging by this, it had suffered considerable damage.
"Teacher, is this the beast fire you said could allow my Flame Mantra to evolve?"
Xiao Yan saw Yao Chen really pull a cluster of flame from the magic beast's body and asked in astonishment.
Having lived this long, it was still the first time he knew that magic beasts also possessed fire within their bodies.
Moreover, the intense heat radiating from it, Xiao Yan could also feel; the power of this Beast Fire is not low.
"That's right, this is Beast Fire; although its power cannot be compared to Strange Fire, it should be able to let your Burning Technique evolve."
As he spoke on, Yao Chen's tone also carried a hint of uncertainty.
After all, this mysterious cultivation method, he has not practiced it either.
Furthermore, this cluster of Beast Fire is merely the Beast Fire inside the body of a peak fifth-rank magical beast.
When mentioning the Burning Technique, Xiao Yan also gritted his teeth a bit.
Before, when he went to the Tagor Great Desert, he was still full of anticipation.
After arriving with Yao Chen, they headed straight into the interior of the Snake-People Tribe.
Afterward, they spent some effort and captured a black Snake-Person of Fighter King level.
Using some means, they finally learned from him that the Strange Fire had already been taken away by the people from the Heavenly Snake Mansion.
However, this kidnapping act of theirs completely enraged the Snake-People Tribe.
Finally, it also drew out four peak Fighter Emperor experts from the Snake-People Tribe, forcing the master and disciple duo to flee in a sorry state.
This was still thanks to those few experts, who, having little lifespan left, also did not want to act lightly.
Otherwise, the master and disciple pair would not have been able to escape so easily.
After all this turmoil, they gained nothing but a piece of news about the Strange Fire.
They found nothing else, wasting all that time for nothing.
Thinking that the Strange Fire was in the Heavenly Snake Mansion, Xiao Yan asked: "Master, should we go and seize the Strange Fire from the Heavenly Snake Mansion?"
"You're courting death! Going to the Heavenly Snake Mansion to seize the Strange Fire, do you know who they are?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's ignorant and overconfident words, Yao Chen said angrily.
"Uh... I've never heard of that Heavenly Snake Mansion, but Master, you now have Fighter Emperor-level battle power; if we sneak in secretly and take it, probably no one will notice."
Hearing Yao Chen's words just now, Xiao Yan knew the Heavenly Snake Mansion was not simple, but thinking of the disgusting low initial rank of the Yellow Tier of the Burning Technique, he still felt somewhat unwilling to give up.
