Over these seven years, after more than three hundred choices, Lin Qing had also figured out a pattern. Choices triggered by characters and timelines from the original story gave far more generous rewards, especially those involving the male lead, female leads, important supporting characters, and powerful cultivators. Choices triggered by unknown passersby generally only gave low-tier Naling, gold coins, and Yellow Tier Cultivation Techniques or Dou Techniques.

For more than three hundred choices to yield so many good things, he could only say that his luck was truly not bad. Of course, he had also missed some good things, such as several Heavenly Flames and twelve Bodhi Seeds. But life was about gains and losses, not to mention that these were single-choice questions.

He had even encountered some strange choices: duel Xiao Ning for a Yellow Tier Low Grade Dou Technique; put a sack over Xiao Ke for a black robe; accompany his cousin Xiao Mei shopping for one hundred gold coins.

At the time, he had just broken through to Grand Dou Master and had nothing else to do, so he simply called Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yu to accompany Xiao Mei shopping.

Lin Qing shook his head. This was not the first time he had encountered such strange choices. Whether he chose them or not depended only on the rewards and his mood.

As for the only Yellow Tier Cultivation Technique in his hands, Flame Mantra, his feelings were complicated. Before obtaining the system, he had desperately wanted it. But he knew that Yao Chen had been unwilling to give it even to Han Feng, whom Yao Chen had personally raised since childhood, so Lin Qing had given up on the idea. He had only wanted to cultivate as soon as possible and survive in the future, never expecting to gain a golden finger.

Han Feng had also brought it upon himself. For the sake of an uncertain Cultivation Technique, he had acknowledged a thief as his father and harmed the teacher who had treated him like a son—a man who could have become a Battle Saint and a Tier 9 Grandmaster Alchemist—until only a remnant soul remained.

Had Han Feng followed the path Yao Chen arranged for him, he would have become at least a low-star Battle Saint in the future. During the era when the Ancient Eight Clans remained hidden, no one would have dared trouble him, and even the Ancient Eight Clans would have treated him with caution.

Now, this Cultivation Technique was not only connected to Yao Chen's future resurrection, but was also Xiao Yan's future reverse scale.

But Lin Qing had already decided to let Xiao Xun'er cultivate it. Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame alone was enough to evolve the Flame Mantra to Heaven Grade. Add some Beast Flames and Heavenly Flames, along with her own bloodline, and it would be enough to support Xiao Xun'er's cultivation all the way to Nine-Star Battle Saint.

What was not widely known was that there were currently only two paths for others on the continent to become Dou Emperors. One was the Embryonic Emperor-Grade Pill within Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave-Dwelling. Refine it into an Emperor Pill, consume and refine it, and one would become a Dou Emperor. This was the path Hun Tiandi took in the original story.

The other was Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's inheritance, and its requirement was the Flame Mantra.

And he possessed resources that could make ten people into Dou Emperors. As long as he found an opportunity to obtain the Xiao Clan's Ancient Jade and delayed things as much as possible, he would have time to catch up and then charge toward becoming a Dou Emperor.

Giving the Flame Mantra to Xiao Xun'er would not affect him at all. If he set his sights on any of the other Heavenly Flames in her possession, she would definitely give them to him.

Moreover, having Xiao Xun'er cultivate the Flame Mantra was also an extra layer of insurance. With the Ancient Clan's capabilities, obtaining several Heavenly Flames would be exceedingly easy. By then, the Flame Mantra would definitely reach High Heaven Grade. Combined with her divine-grade bloodline, growing into a Battle Saint would be easy. That would give him another high-level combatant, so he would not be left without any backup when unexpected situations arose.

As for Xiao Yan, it might affect him somewhat, but the impact would not be great. The Dou Qi Continent was so vast. Aside from Nihility Devouring Flame and Pure Lotus Demon Flame, the others existed in multiples; after the tenth-ranked ones, there were certainly more than just two.

So long as the conditions were met and Spiritual Qi was sufficient, Heavenly Flames could continuously be born between heaven and earth. The Green Lotus Core Flame beneath the magma of Canaan Academy and beneath Tagor Desert were examples.

He believed that the Child of Fortune would always be able to find several Heavenly Flames. In the early stages, Beast Flames could also be used to improve it.

Along with the Soul-Nourishing Jade, Wood Spirit Fruit, and Spirit Tempering Art, these were the gifts he would leave Xiao Xun'er when he departed Wutan City.
