With this Earth Class Body Refinement Dou Technique in hand, once he cultivated it, Lin Feng would be able to drastically enhance the strength of his physical body.
If he could then obtain one more magic core extracted from a high-level Dou Zong magic beast…
Together with the one he already possessed, that would make two magic cores, which could serve as the energy source for activating the Grand Profound Flame Control Array.
Even if he encountered a high-level Dou Zong, he was confident that—with his various methods—he could severely injure them!
Thinking of all these benefits, Lin Feng quickly stored the low storage ring in his robe.
Then, the finger bearing the ring flashed with light.
Two finely crafted jade bottles suddenly appeared in his hands.
As he tossed them over, he smiled and said, "Inside here, one is a low seventh-tier pill. The other is a special pill I personally concocted. It can help your father take that final step—crossing over from the Half-Step Dou Zong stage and transforming into a true Dou Zong expert!"
Hearing this, Han Yue joyfully accepted the two jade bottles and carefully stored them in her own storage ring.
"By the way, any news about the other items?"
After a brief silence, Lin Feng suddenly asked.
Upon hearing the question, Han Yue recalled the attitudes of the owners of the other items and could only smile bitterly, saying, "As for a Rank 7 magic core from a high-level Dou Zong magic beast, we've heard that the Sect Master of the Black Fire Sect in the Pill Region has one.
However, that Sect Master is also a fire-attribute cultivator. It seems he has plans for it and is unwilling to trade. Since he's a peak-level Dou Zong powerhouse, and unwilling to exchange, there's not much we can do."
"As for the Rank 8 Beast Flame, we've heard that the Sect Master of the Bone Transforming Gate in Bone Transforming City possesses one. We went to request a trade, but in two months, Bone Transforming City will host its once-every-six-years trade convention.
That man clearly plans to put the Rank 8 Beast Flame up for auction at the event, hoping many seventh-tier alchemists will bid for it. So, he outright rejected our request as well."
Upon hearing Han Yue finish reporting the latest developments, the smile on Lin Feng's face instantly faded, and his brows furrowed tightly.
He hadn't expected it would be so difficult just to obtain a few magic cores and a Beast Flame.
Then again, it made sense. With the ancient clans and major factions all staying hidden…Dou Zun experts were essentially the peak powerhouses currently active on the Central Continent.
And high-level Dou Zong magic beasts were usually backed by powerful beast clans.
Even if someone had the ability to kill one, they might not have the courage to act on it.
However, when Han Yue mentioned the Bone Transforming Gate… Lin Feng recalled that this force had also appeared in the original novel.
His curiosity was piqued.
He turned back to Han Yue and asked, "That Bone Transforming Gate—what kind of force is it? Can you tell me more?"
Seeing that he was interested, Han Yue began to explain, "The Bone Transforming Gate is a faction that mainly cultivates water-element techniques.
When they fight, they can secretly infiltrate their opponent's body with hidden force. Once struck, that soft force dissolves within the body, causing the bones throughout the person to soften. It's extremely strange and sinister."
"Their headquarters is located in Bone Transforming City, situated northwest of Tianbei City, nearly ten million li away from us. But if we wanted to go, we could just head to a nearby city and take a space wormhole—after a few days of travel, we'd arrive."
"However, the Bone Transforming Gate is essentially the local tyrant over the ten-some cities surrounding Bone Transforming City. In fact, its sphere of influence even surpasses that of the Northern Region hegemon, Wind Lightning Pavilion.
It borders the eastern frontiers of the Western Region hegemon, the Yellow Spring Pavilion. You could say, this Bone Transforming Gate lies precisely at the junction between Wind Lightning Pavilion and the Yellow Spring Pavilion!"
"The Sect Master of the Bone Transforming Gate reached the peak of the Dou Zong realm over a hundred years ago," Han Yue continued. "And the Vice Sect Master also broke through to peak Dou Zong several decades ago. What's more, these two are biological brothers, and share a very close relationship."
"Moreover, the Bone Transforming Gate's Sect Master is incredibly shrewd. During his reign, he expanded their sphere of influence through various means, adding several more cities under his control—nearly 100,000 li of territory!"
"Among the subordinate forces under his command, there are even experts at the Six-Star and Seven-Star Dou Zong level. Because of this, none of the surrounding factions dare provoke them, and the Bone Transforming Gate's current position is extremely stable."
"In fact, because their water-attribute cultivation techniques are somewhat similar to yin-cold cultivation techniques, the Bone Transforming Gate has closer ties to the Yellow Spring Pavilion than to Wind Lightning Pavilion, which primarily cultivates lightning-type techniques."
After Han Yue finished explaining all this in one breath, Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.
At the same time, understanding began to dawn in his heart.
So this was how the Bone Transforming Gate had managed to acquire a Beast Flame from a Rank 8 magic beast—something comparable to a human Dou Zun's power.
Although the Bone Transforming Gate's Sect Master himself might not have had the ability to get a Rank 8 magic beast to split off a sliver of its source flame…
The Pavilion Master of the Yellow Spring Pavilion most likely could.
Over the past while, Lin Feng had also learned quite a bit about the Yellow Spring Pavilion.
It had been rooted in the Western Region of the Central Continent for many years. Although the current Pavilion Master was the weakest of all generations—only a two-star Dou Zun—even so, the Yellow Spring Pavilion remained a towering force to any faction without a Dou Zun expert of their own.
So despite falling behind the other Three Pavilions—Wind Lightning Pavilion, Falling Star Pavilion, and Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion—it still held its foundational ground in the Western Region.
What's more, behind the Yellow Spring Pavilion stood an even more troublesome force—the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan.
That was the true reason why, despite only being a Two-Star Dou Zun, the Pavilion Master of the Yellow Spring Pavilion still dared to claim supremacy in the Western Region!
Of course, the other three pavilions at the same level all had some degree of backing from Ancient Clans.
For example, Wind Lightning Pavilion had ties to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, while Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion was backed by an Ancient Clan, and so on.
After all, these ancient forces often had to consider the sentiments of rival ancient clans, and couldn't always act directly.
That's when their affiliated forces became their proxies.
In fact, back on Blue Star, people had a name for this kind of situation—"proxy wars."
After a long moment, Lin Feng collected his thoughts, brushing away the messy ideas swirling in his mind.
He looked over at Han Yue, whose silver hair shimmered much like his own.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he said, "I plan to refine a few pills. When we head to the Bone Transforming City's trade convention, I also want to exchange a few things of my own. Is there anywhere nearby suitable for refining seventh-tier pills?"
"Hmm…" Han Yue propped her snowy-white chin with her delicate hand, thought for a moment, and gently said, "To the left of our Han Clan estate, there's an abandoned cultivation chamber. It used to be the training ground of one of our former clan leaders. It should be a good place."
"Alright, I'll trouble you then."
Lin Feng nodded slightly, then added, "Oh, and have the chamber's ceiling removed in advance. When I refine the pills, it'll trigger Pill Lightning. If the ceiling's left intact, it'll only get destroyed."
