Chapter 98

Oh, by the way, just like the Heavenly Flame Ranking, in the alchemy world there is also a Heavenly Cauldron Ranking.

As the name suggests, what is recorded in the ranking are those extremely perfect and outstanding medicinal cauldrons.

Within the ranking there are thirteen cauldrons, and each of these medicinal cauldrons possesses a power that drives countless alchemists to flock to them.

If alchemists were to choose one between these medicinal cauldrons and Heavenly Flames, I believe a considerable number would opt for the medicinal cauldrons.

Because, like Heavenly Flames, these medicinal cauldrons can increase the success rate of alchemy.

However, absorbing Heavenly Flames carries a risk to one's life, whereas the medicinal cauldrons on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking need not be absorbed; they can be taken and used immediately, with no risk, and can be passed down through generations.

In this situation, some steady alchemists naturally choose the medicinal cauldron and abandon the Heavenly Flame...

Cough, cough, getting back to the point, Han Feng still possesses the cultivation technique practiced by the ancient emperor Tuoshe, namely the Flame Scripture!

He is extremely envious of that technique.

After all, whoever cultivates the Flame Scripture can directly absorb powerful true fire to upgrade.

This upgrade is not merely a rise in the technique's level.

The cultivator's Dou Qi rank will also rise accordingly.

Moreover, most importantly, this increase comes with no side effects whatsoever!

Although Han Feng only has half of it, he currently cannot obtain the complete version from Xiao Yan's hands, so he can only settle for half for now.

As for how to obtain it, he already had a plan in mind after advancing to Fighting King...

While Lin Feng was thinking, the intermediate Earth Tier technique on the stage had already been purchased by a black-robed person in the VIP seats.

"Hehe, old man here once again thanks everyone for their patronage; this auction ends here. Those who have won items can go to the left-side counter to collect them, and friends who didn't get what they wanted need not be disappointed—there will be a Free Trade Fair in the hall on the right side of the entrance after the auction, where you may trade freely; if you wish to set up a stall, we only charge a 2% transaction fee."

At that moment, the old man on stage laughed and said to the crowd below.

"This Black Emperor Sect really... won't rest until they've sucked everything off a person."

Hearing this, Lin Feng understood what was going on.

At this auction there will always be people who fail to get what they want, but having prepared for so long, their belongings surely aren't too shabby.

The Black Emperor Sect uses this Free Trade Fair to make those people spend all the money and valuables they haven't yet spent.

"Lin Feng, shall we go take a look?"

Zi Yan beside him, unable to contain her curiosity, her eyes sparkling, said to Lin Feng.

"Alright, let's go check out that trade fair."

Seeing Zi Yan's eyes full of longing, he agreed.

"Yay! Let's go."

Saying that, she eagerly grabbed Lin Feng's hand and walked out.

"Hey, we should get the auction items first."

After obtaining the seven-tier Beast Fire, the Longevity King's Elixir, Zi Yan's gauntlets, and some medicinal herbs, he took her to stroll around the trade area.

Arriving here, Lin Feng scanned the hall; the area was very spacious.

On the floor lay a red carpet, and in the hall numerous wooden tables were set up.

Behind many of the wooden tables stood people, with various items displayed on the tables before them.

It appeared those people were preparing to sell some items here.

Since Lin Feng and the others arrived relatively late, there were already quite a few people; a glance showed nothing but heads.

After strolling with Zi Yan for a while, Lin Feng found the quality of the goods here decent; most of the stallholders were previous auction participants.

Passing some small stalls, Lin Feng suddenly saw a crowd gathered ahead.

Through gaps in the crowd, he noticed that the wooden table before that person inside was empty.

But the wooden table before him at that moment was already surrounded by a crowd, seemingly inquiring about something.

"Let's go up and take a look."

Seeing that strange sight, Lin Feng said to Zi Yan beside him.

"Okay."

Zi Yan nodded and quickly followed Lin Feng.

Arriving at that vendor's stall, Lin Feng saw the four large characters "Information Trading" written on the wooden table, and then understood.

The thin, monkey-like middle-aged man before him was an information dealer.

He seemed to have just completed a transaction with someone, both pulling their sleeves together, not knowing what was passed from inside.

Seeing the thin middle-aged man finish his trade with another, Lin Feng stepped forward and said softly, "I want detailed information on all forces in Heijiaoyu that possess Fighting King experts. Do you have it?"

"Yes."

The thin man glanced at Lin Feng, whose whole body was concealed in a black cloak, then replied.

Hearing that, Lin Feng's face showed a slight hint of joy, and he asked again, "What's the price?"

"300,000 gold coins, or items of equal value."

Upon hearing his answer, Lin Feng tossed a jade bottle onto the table.

The man picked it up, saw it was a fourth-grade pill, his face lit up with delight, and then extended his sleeve.

Lin Feng hesitated slightly, then likewise extended his sleeve to meet his.

After both of their forearms were concealed, Lin Feng felt a scroll being slipped in, which he grabbed and then put away.

Seeing Lin Feng put away his item, the man quickly broke off contact.

"Let's go."

Having obtained what he wanted from the trade, Lin Feng turned to Zi Yan beside him and said.

As for whether one might end up buying fakes—

there's no need to worry too much; the fact that he dares to set up a stall here shows his information is basically accurate.

Otherwise, in Heijiaoyu, just after leaving the gate of the Black Emperor Sect's auction house, one would likely end up decapitated.

Hmm.

Afterwards, Lin Feng and Zi Yan, having bought some medicinal herbs, walked out of the Black Emperor Sect's auction house.

Feeling the two people following behind him, Lin Feng said to Zi Yan, "Let's not go back for now; let's find an inn to stay temporarily."

Is it because of the people behind us?

Zi Yan also sensed someone following her and asked softly.

Hmm.

Lin Feng nodded, said nothing more, and walked straight toward the nearby inn, intending to absorb that seventh-tier Beast Fire before returning.

With his current two-star Fighter King strength, if he absorbs that Beast Fire afterwards,

Adding that terrifying speed, even against a high-tier Fighter King, he would not flinch.

Moreover, he still has the help of his two teammates...

Upon arriving at the inn, Lin Feng did not check the information or absorb the Beast Fire; instead, he first examined the space ring of the Fighting Spirit who had ambushed him earlier.

He had been busy advancing to Fighter King and improving his alchemy, and never had time to examine this space ring.

Upon seeing that Fighting Emperor today, he suddenly remembered it, and naturally wanted to check it to find some clues.

After searching, Lin Feng found that the contents were mostly ordinary items, which he now looks down upon.

Only two things interested him: a Mysterious Tier intermediate dark-attribute cultivation technique and a volume titled 'Silent' which is a Mysterious Tier advanced concealment art.

Although this dark-attribute cultivation technique is only Mysterious Tier intermediate, because such techniques are relatively rare,

Rarity makes it valuable; its worth can already compare to some common-attribute Mysterious Tier advanced techniques.

As for that concealment secret art, Lin Feng likes it even more.

With this, whether for escaping or ambush, it is an extremely helpful aid.

Although non-dark-attribute cultivators executing it are not as strong as those with dark attribute, it's still better than having none.

After examining the space ring, Lin Feng picked up the purchased information scroll and carefully examined it, seeking information about that dark-attribute Fighting Emperor.

As for why he didn't directly buy all information on dark-attribute Fighting Emperors in Heijiaoyu, it was because he feared alerting the enemy.

After all, he didn't know whether that information vendor would leak this news to the opposing side.

Thus causing the difficulty of his revenge to greatly increase...

After searching for a long time, Lin Feng finally focused his gaze on the information about the Eight Gates Sect.

In the introduction beneath their sect leader, the words 'dark-attribute' were clearly written.

"This Yuan Yi... is also dark-attribute..."

Actually, he had long suspected the Eight Gates Sect.

Back when he first entered Heijiaoyu, he had not yet formed any grudges with any faction.

Moreover, before the attack, he had just purchased a fifth-tier Beast Fire from the Black Seal City auction house, making it hard not to draw attention to them.

Regaining his composure, Lin Feng continued to look at the information in his hand.

Upon seeing that Yuan Yi had used a volume named 'Silent', a Mysterious Tier advanced concealment art, during his Fighter King stage, Lin Feng had already identified the culprit.

After all, that Fighting Spirit should not yet be capable of snatching a combat technique from a Fighting Emperor's hands.

"A two-star Fighting Emperor, but since you chose to kill me, don't blame me for choosing to counter-kill..."

Stroking the information in his hand, Lin Feng murmured softly.

"Lin Feng, is this guy the one who ambushed you?"

At this moment, Zi Yan also curiously stepped forward.

Regarding the ambush, Lin Feng had already told her, so she naturally knew as well.

Yes.

Lin Feng glanced at another dark-attribute faction, the Yin Bone Tomb.

However, aside from being dark-attribute, none of their other conditions match.

"Then call me when the time comes, and I'll help you beat him up."

Zi Yan stroked the gloves she had just bought, then waved her small fists.

"Haha, then I'll call you when the time comes; after we slay Yuan Yi, I'll refine ten fifth-grade pills for you as snacks."

Lin Feng patted her little head, then said, "I'm going to absorb the seventh-tier Beast Fire now; you stay on alert."

No problem.

Thinking about the people who had been following them today, Zi Yan also gathered her spirit.

Seeing her serious expression, Lin Feng's mouth curled slightly, and he then took out the Beast Fire Seed of the seventh-tier Blazing Flame Unicorn Horned Lizard.

Because Lin Feng had already absorbed Beast Fire several times before, this time he succeeded quickly.

After the Beast Fire was absorbed, Lin Feng extended his finger and shouted lowly: "Appear!"

Boom

Accompanying a muffled low sound, an orange-yellow flame several times stronger than the purple flame instantly rose softly from between his fingers.

"As expected of a flame drawn from a seventh-tier magic beast, its power is far greater than the purple flame of the earlier Amethyst Winged Lion King."

Gazing at the flame in his hand, Lin Feng revealed a satisfied expression.
