Chapter 631: Gu Xun'er Knows

Tch, gaining such a huge increase in strength, what's this bit of pain? If other Dou Zong knew, even if the pain were multiplied several times, plenty of people would still rush to get it.

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhong and the Second Elder both flicked their sleeves indifferently.

After all, the Central Continent is vast and boundless; Dou Zong-level cultivators are as numerous as carp crossing the river, countless in number.

But Dou Zun experts, at most, probably number no more than a thousand.

If the news were leaked, enduring a few days of torment would allow one to leap the dragon gate and instantly become a Dou Zun expert.

I'm afraid that tomorrow Ye City will be directly overwhelmed by the Dou Zong.

"No problem, I'll keep an eye out later; if I can get decent materials, I'll let you know. After all, my strength is limited now, and the materials the Third Elder used this time aren't that great."

Seeing the expectant gazes of Ye Zhong and the Second Elder, Lin Feng gave a light chuckle, then nodded in agreement.

"Old Three, did you see that? Lin Feng said our materials will need to be even better later."

After receiving Lin Feng's promise, the Second Elder instantly puffed up like a victorious peacock, lifting his head proudly.

"Hmph, I volunteered to be the test subject, charging ahead of you all; if you don't feel grateful to this old man, that's fine, but you're acting all pleased. Moreover, who knows, by then this old man might have cultivated to an even higher realm!"

Seeing that arrogant appearance, the Third Elder also snorted.

Although he had little confidence in his heart, with so many people watching, how could he admit defeat?

"Old Three, you think you'll reach a higher realm? I reckon even after another hundred years of cultivation you'll still be at this level."

"Fine, you old second, this old man"

Immediately after, the two old men started arguing like shrewish women cursing in the street.

Even Feng Qinger's pink lips twitched slightly.

As for Lin Feng, he turned to Ye Zhong and said, "Grand Elder, since the Third Elder has successfully revived, let's head back to the Xiao Dan Tower first."

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhong asked in confusion, "Didn't you say earlier you wanted to attempt a breakthrough to the Dou Zun Realm here?"

"Now that this has happened, I need to return to the Xiao Dan Tower to check the situation; as for breaking through to Dou Zun, we'll discuss it later. After all, breaking through from Dou Zong to Dou Zun isn't something you can achieve with just a few days of seclusion."

Lin Feng helplessly shook his head, then gave a wry smile.

Of course, Lin Feng felt that his breakthrough would be fraught with twists and turns.

But overall, a later breakthrough isn't a loss for him.

After all, this time he not only obtained almost all of Yaochen's wealth, but also obtained a Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

Let alone delaying a few days; even if it were delayed a year and a half, he would be willing.

Because the eleventh-ranked strange fire on the Strange Fire List isn't something you can just find if you want to.

I suppose Xiao Yan and Xuan Yi are still screaming in anger right now.

"Alright."

Hearing Lin Feng say that, Ye Zhong could only nod.

"This time, I'll go with you; after all, I was present then, and with my status I can also put some pressure on the Xiao Dan Tower."

At this moment, Feng Qinger beside him suddenly spoke up.

"Good."

Lin Feng, upon hearing that, immediately agreed to the previous suggestion.

After all, having the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan as a badge will always be stronger than him going directly.

Afterwards, Lin Feng briefly met Ye Xinlan.

He then left the Ye family manor and dove straight into the Ye family's exclusive Space Wormhole.

Meanwhile, as Lin Feng and the others headed for Sacred Pill City, in a certain mysterious world, countless perilous mountains stood.

From time to time, several streaks of flowing light would flash across the horizon.

And from those streams of light, a faintly permeating powerful aura could be sensed.

If placed in the Central Continent, it would be enough to draw many sideways glances.

But in this world, it appears rather ordinary.

Furthermore, this world is always entwined with endless clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

Even the energy of heaven and earth appears exceptionally rich.

Training here would likely be even more effective than underground at the Ye family's Yang Fire Ancient Altar.

After all, the energy here is extremely pure, without any Fire Poison mixed in.

And somewhere beneath the clouds and mist stands an extremely precipitous peak, like a giant sword piercing the clouds.

Looking up, one can only see the entwining clouds and mist, making it hard to see the summit.

Yet such a peak, at its very top, has a round blue stone.

Upon the blue stone sits a woman cross-legged, forming hand seals for cultivation.

With each breath, substantial-seeming qi dragons coil and swirl around her fair nose, not dissipating.

After such quiet cultivation continued for nearly an hour, the woman slowly opened her slightly closed eyes.

As her eyes opened, a strand of golden flame instantly shot forth.

Accompanying the flash of the golden flame, a strange sense of pressure also gradually spread out.

Immediately afterward, the woman stood up, tilted her head slightly, and said expectantly, "Ling Lao, come out; did you bring back news of my brother Xiao Yan this time?"

Whoosh~

The instant the woman's voice fell, a shadow behind her began to writhe slowly.

Immediately, an elderly figure emerged from thin air, bowed respectfully before her, and said helplessly, "Miss, your perception is truly becoming more terrifying; I had just arrived here when I was already detected."

Ling Lao, stop always doing this; get to the point.

Hearing his flattery, Gu Xun'er shook her head and then chuckled lightly.

At this moment, Gu Xun'er had no idea that her brother Xiao Yan had already been locked inside the Xiao Dan Tower.

This

Upon hearing the former's inquiry about Xiao Yan's news, Ling Ying suddenly became somewhat at a loss for words.

After all, Xiao Yan's current situation is not very good.

"Old Ling, why aren't you answering? Could it be that Brother Xiao Yan has run into some trouble?"

Seeing the old man behind him not reply for a long time, Gu Xun'er's smile vanished instantly, her face slightly sinking as she asked.

"Xiao Yan, the young master, attacked a disciple of the Xiao Dan Tower ahead, seemingly wanting to take the other's strange fire, but..."

Having said that, Ling Ying paused.

"But what? What exactly happened?"

Hearing the former's hem-and-haw, Gu Xun'er's face darkened and her tone gradually grew cold.

"Ah, such a thing has happened this time, but the young lady's confinement period hasn't ended yet; I hope she won't be too impulsive."

Ling Ying sighed helplessly, then continued: "But Xiao Yan, the young master, failed in his action; not only did the Dou Zun experts he summoned get wiped out entirely, but he himself has now been taken back to the tower."

"Moreover, judging from the rumors spreading from within the tower, it seems they intend to impose severe punishment, even to eliminate Xiao Yan, the young master, as a warning to others."
