Originally, Hei Qing thought that once he gained Zi Yan's trust, he'd be able to take the little girl straight back to Eastern Dragon Island.

But unexpectedly, she insisted on waiting for Lin Feng to come out of seclusion.

No matter what he said or did, she wouldn't budge in the slightest.

Helpless, in order to guarantee Zi Yan's safety, Hei Qing had no choice but to immediately use a spatial jade slip to summon Third Elder Zhu Li, just to ensure nothing went wrong.

"Fine then, I'll go check out this 'Eastern Dragon Island' you're talking about," Zi Yan finally nodded, agreeing after seeing Lin Feng again.

"Great! Let's go!"

Seeing her finally give in, Hei Qing, who had been worried sick for days, nearly shouted with excitement.

The massive weight pressing on his heart was finally lifted.

"Tch, you big oaf! Don't you have any sense?"

Seeing Hei Qing so thrilled, the little girl scolded irritably, "Lin Feng's helped me so much—don't you even know how to show a little appreciation?"

"My bad, my bad!"

Startled by her sudden outburst, Hei Qing didn't dare take chances. Regardless of whether he had actually done anything wrong, he rushed to apologize.

Then he clenched his fist slightly, causing the space around his hand to twist violently.

In an instant, a palm-sized jade slip engraved with a winged dragon insignia condensed in his palm.

Once it fully formed, Hei Qing tossed it to Lin Feng with a smile.

"Kid, helping us bring Zi Yan back is a huge contribution to our Ancient Void Dragon Clan. If you ever run into a life-threatening situation, crush this jade slip. I'll sense it and rush over to help you obliterate whoever's in your way."

"This junior thanks you, Uncle Hei."

Lin Feng respectfully cupped his fists as he carefully received the spatial jade slip with the dragon insignia.

After all, having something that could summon an Eight-Change Dou Zun-level expert was like having an ace up his sleeve.

With this in his possession, he'd have far more confidence traveling across the Central Plains.

Even the Ancient Eight Clans would have to treat this jade slip seriously.

Let alone other top factions like the One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, Four Pavilions—they would most likely back off on their own once they saw it.

As for Elder Zhu Li, upon witnessing this scene, he merely smiled lightly without saying a word.

From what Zi Yan had told him, Lin Feng had truly taken good care of her—the sole bearer of the Dragon Emperor bloodline in their Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

Not only that, he'd even brought her all the way to the Central Plains, giving Eastern Dragon Island the opportunity to discover her presence.

All of this easily warranted gifting him such a valuable spatial jade slip.

"Well, now that everything's settled, Lin kid, we'll be seeing you."

Having waited for the situation to wrap up, Elder Zhu Li smiled and raised a finger toward the void.

A pitch-black spatial wormhole instantly formed.

"Lin Feng, I'm heading back to the clan to check things out. If I can, I'll bring you back something nice. Oh right—aren't you planning to attend that Pill Gathering or whatever? I'll come find you then!"

"Also, I haven't told Han Yue I'm going back yet. Remember to explain things to her for me!"

Waving as she spoke, Zi Yan turned and entered the spatial wormhole with Hei Qing and Zhu Li escorting her on both sides.

"And don't forget—Han Yue and I get along pretty well. If you get a chance, help her out a bit. As for the Heavenly Flame you're after, I'll keep an eye out too!"

Zi Yan's clear and lively voice echoed out from within the slowly closing wormhole.

Eventually, her words faded away into the void.

"Sigh, just the two of us now. It's suddenly so quiet—it feels a bit strange."

Watching the wormhole vanish completely, Lin Feng turned and looked at the silver-haired woman standing gracefully by his side, murmuring with a sigh.

As he spoke, he carefully stored the jade slip that Hei Qing had given him into his storage ring.

"Isn't this better? Now it's just our world—just the two of us."

Sensing the faint trace of melancholy in his tone, Xiao Yixian chuckled gently.

"You, huh…"

Hearing her words, Lin Feng gently shook his head.

Of course he knew—Xiao Yixian was trying to comfort him.

"Hey hey, you two brats, have you forgotten about this old man entirely?"

Just then, Tian Huo Zun Zhe drifted out with a snort, cutting into the conversation.

"You old geezer, can't you see we're having a private moment here? What are you jumping in for?"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes at Tian Huo Zun Zhe's face—that smug look of his really made one want to throw a punch.

"Hehe, I'm just surprised, that little girl turned out to be a member of one of the ancient beast clans—the Ancient Void Dragon Clan! No wonder she was born with the ability to completely ignore spatial restrictions."

As he spoke, Tian Huo Zun Zhe's tone also carried a trace of genuine awe.

Back when he still had a physical body, even though he had already reached Dou Zun level...to ancient beast clans like the Ancient Void Dragon, he was still far too weak to interact with them.

So, during his travels across the continent, he had almost no direct contact with such beings.

Otherwise, he might've recognized that little girl the first time he saw her.

"Elder Yao, I didn't think you'd ever show fear."

Sensing the tension in Tian Huo Zun Zhe's voice, Lin Feng teased immediately.

"You rascal, how—how could you slander me like that out of nowhere!"

The old spirit froze midair and quickly rebutted, sounding aggrieved.

Indeed, when those two dragons were still present, he had been feeling a bit uneasy.

After all, either of those Ancient Void Dragons could've ended his peak-era self with a single punch.

But of course, he would never admit that.

Otherwise, how would he continue to show his face across the continent?

"Let's go. It's been over half a month now—I wonder if the Han Clan managed to find what I asked for."

Casting a glance at the stubborn old man, Lin Feng stepped forward and gently took Xiao Yixian's soft jade-like hand, heading toward the Han Clan's main hall.

Seeing that no one else was around, she leaned her delicate body against his arm as they walked farther away.

"Tch—those two!"

Watching the pair completely forget about his existence, Tian Huo Zun Zhe started pacing around in frustration.

His illusory body shimmered with agitation.

Seeing that they still didn't acknowledge him, he could only unleash some impotent rage...

And then helplessly slip back into Lin Feng's storage ring, sulking.

Inside the Han Clan's main hall, Han Yue stepped forward the moment she saw Lin Feng.

"Here are the medicinal ingredients you asked for. They've all been gathered," she said, handing him a low-tier storage ring.

Then, her normally cold and indifferent face showed a faint smile as she added:

"Inside that ring, there's also the Mid-Grade Earth Class Body Refinement Dou Technique you wanted. These past few days, the Han Clan asked around extensively and finally learned that a merchant clan tens of thousands of kilometers away from Tianbei City happened to possess one. Since we're business partners, the trade went rather smoothly."

As she recalled something from the exchange, she added:

"When we made the deal, the other party warned us that cultivating this technique requires large quantities of metallic-type magical beast blood essence and magic cores. So, we also gathered several seventh-rank samples and placed them inside the storage ring as well."

"Impressive. To acquire a Mid-Grade Earth Class Body Refinement Dou Technique in just under a month—this speed is way beyond what I expected."

Lin Feng took the ring, and after inspecting it with his soul perception, the corners of his lips lifted slightly.

Clearly, he was in a very good mood.
