Entering the Magma

Seeing that they were still hesitating, Lin Feng stepped forward and cupped his hands. "As long as the two seniors are willing to help me, this junior will definitely offer each of you three Sect Breaking Pills in the future, along with my friendship."

"Three Sect Breaking Pills each? Kid, do you know how valuable a Sect Breaking Pill is?"

Lü Man glanced at Lin Feng and sneered.

From the bottom of her heart, she did not believe that Lin Feng could produce three Sect Breaking Pills.

Although Sect Breaking Pills were only at the peak of the sixth grade, their actual value surpassed that of many Low-grade Seventh-grade Pills.

"Hehe, I indeed can't produce them now, but I believe that within ten years, I'll be able to refine them!"

As he spoke, a powerful Soul Perception burst from his body, and invisible ripples swiftly spread through the surroundings.

"Heh, this kid's Soul Perception is incredibly powerful. It's no weaker than those Peak Fourth-grade Alchemists I've seen in the manor."

Feeling the soul fluctuations coming from Lin Feng, Bai Ya's expression abruptly changed as he spoke in surprise.

"You're an alchemist?"

Seeing that soul fluctuation, Lü Man frowned slightly before asking.

Lin Feng nodded. "That's right. Although I'm only third-grade right now, I believe it won't be long before I become a Fourth-grade Alchemist!"

Upon hearing this, both the woman and the snake were shocked once more.

Lin Feng was only sixteen or seventeen, yet he was already a Third-grade Alchemist and was confident he could advance to the fourth grade soon.

If that was the case, then ten years from now, there was indeed a great chance that Lin Feng would be able to refine Sect Breaking Pills.

He might even advance to the seventh grade within ten years!

One had to know that for Dou Emperors like them, ten years was not a very long time.

Especially for Bai Ya. As a Magical Beast, ten years merely meant sleeping a few more times.

If he agreed to help Lin Feng now, he would not only receive three Sect Breaking Pills later on.

He would also gain the friendship of a sixth-grade, perhaps even a Seventh-grade Alchemist. That value...

Thinking of this, Bai Ya's cunning vertical pupils shifted, and he immediately made his choice.

With a fierce flap of his four pairs of wings, he laughed. "Hehe, kid, since you've put it that way, how could we refuse to help? Where are the Heavenly Flames? We'll help you get them right away."

Lü Man, who had already been tempted, saw her companion agree and stopped considering further. She nodded along with him.

Hearing that the woman and snake had agreed, Lin Feng smiled faintly.

A surge of excitement immediately rose in his heart. He knew that he had won this gamble.

Seeing the matter resolved perfectly, Qing Lin also let out a great sigh of relief.

"It's very close to here. It'll take less than ten minutes to fly there. Please follow me."

With that, Lin Feng picked up Qing Lin and flew toward the Heavenly Flames.

Whoosh~

With a faint sound, three flying figures landed steadily atop a sand dune.

"The Heavenly Flames are beneath here. Senior Bai Ya is too large, so Senior Lü Man should come down with me to retrieve them."

Lin Feng removed the cover he had made earlier and took out the two guarding Desert Horned Vipers within before speaking.

"Underground? You really are something, finding a place like this."

Looking at the pitch-black passage, Lü Man could not help but sigh.

If no one had told her about this place, she might not have found it even if she were beaten to death.

She turned to look at Bai Ya's enormous body and said, "Bai Ya, you and the Saintess wait up here. This kid and I will go down and retrieve it."

Hearing this, Lin Feng hurriedly said, "I'm afraid that won't work. Only the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake knows the route, so Qing Lin will have to come down as well."

"Fine, then the three of us will go down. Bai Ya can stand guard up here."

Lü Man looked at Qing Lin in Lin Feng's arms, pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After all, as a Dou Emperor, protecting the two of them would not be much of a problem.

"No problem. Leave the safety above to me."

With that, the Snake Emperor flapped his wings and flew behind a distant sand dune to hide.

Lü Man directly gathered Dou Qi in her palm and thrust it fiercely into the passage below.

Puff~

With a soft sound, the passage was forcibly widened by the powerful Dou Qi until it was large enough for them to walk through without bending over.

"So this is a Dou Emperor."

Lin Feng smacked his lips at the sight.

"Let's go, kid."

After saying that, Lü Man shot straight into the passage below.

Lin Feng hurriedly followed after her.

Since the cave was much wider this time, they could use Dou Qi to travel.

In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the underground cave.

Looking at the vast magma ahead, Lü Man frowned slightly.

There was almost no wood-attributed Dou Qi in the air here.

This made wood-attributed Lü Man extremely uncomfortable.

Now, she only wanted to find the Heavenly Flames as quickly as possible, retrieve them, and leave.

"Where are the Heavenly Flames?"

Lü Man turned and asked.

"They're in the magma below."

Lin Feng set Qing Lin down and replied.

Hearing this, Lü Man frowned again. The shallow parts of the magma were manageable.

But if they had to go too deep, even as a Dou Emperor, she would have to proceed carefully.

Moreover, wood-attributed Dou Qi was already exceptionally scarce in this underground cave.

That was another major problem for her.

If the Heavenly Flames erupted within there, it would not be fun.

Lü Man turned to Lin Feng, her expression somewhat grave. "I'm afraid I can't help you retrieve that thing. Inside the magma, even as a Dou Emperor, I may not be able to suppress rampaging Heavenly Flames."

As soon as Lin Feng heard this, he knew what she was worried about. He smiled lightly. "Senior, there's no need to worry. I have a way to control the Heavenly Flames. I only need you to hold them back for a while, long enough for me to retrieve them."

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have a way to control Heavenly Flames. Since that's the case, let's go."

Seeing how confidently he spoke, Lü Man no longer hesitated and replied bluntly.

After all, Lin Feng was going down with her. She did not believe he would joke with his own life.

Lin Feng nodded and looked at Qing Lin. "Release Xiao Ling and have it lead the way."

"Alright, Young Master."

A flash of green light passed through Qing Lin's eyes, and Xiao Ling was released.

Seeing the familiar magma pool, Xiao Ling let out an excited howl.

It swiftly burrowed into the magma and swam freely. With the aid of the magma, the injuries on its body also began to slowly recover.

Feeling Xiao Ling's excitement, Qing Lin smiled and instructed, "Xiao Ling, lead Young Master to that blue flame."

Hiss.

Hearing Qing Lin's command, Xiao Ling hissed before diving into the depths of the magma.

"Let's go."

As Lü Man's voice fell, a green Dou Qi protective barrier several meters in diameter enveloped Lin Feng.

Then, Lü Man swiftly leaped into the magma and vanished.

"Qing Lin, wait for me here."

With that, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and leaped into the magma under Qing Lin's worried gaze.

Splash...

As his body plunged down, fiery-red magma splashed in all directions.

Seeing the fiery-red magma blocked outside by the green barrier, Lin Feng finally relaxed.

He immediately spread his Purple Cloud Wings, dove into the magma, and shot straight downward.
