Boom!

No one knew how much time had passed when suddenly, the previously calm magma surface exploded with a deafening blast.

A black figure shot out from the magma in a sorry state, trailing bone wings behind his back and crackling silver lightning beneath his feet.

Deep within the magma, two fire lizard with crimson eyes stared fixatedly at him.

An intense and terrifying aura radiated from their bodies, spreading in all directions without restraint.

Within that aura—an overwhelming killing intent!

"Damn, good thing I ran fast. Who would've thought two high-level Dou Zong fire lizard would pop out at once?"

Still shaken after blasting out of the lava, Lin Feng patted his chest in relief.

As his gaze swept over the two ferocious fire lizard below, a flicker of lingering fear flashed through his eyes.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough just now, he would've ended up buried in that magma for sure.

Luckily, these fire lizard created by the Tuo She Ancient God only relied on brute strength and magma orbs.

As for other Dou Techniques, including spatial power—they knew none.

If they did, then with Lin Feng unable to use spatial force at the moment, there'd be absolutely no way he could've escaped from two high-level Dou Zong fire lizard alive.

Staring at the fire lizard below who refused to leave, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and muttered, "Guess I'll just absorb the fire pearls I've collected for now. Going back down there is way too risky."

With that, he flew toward the lava cave he had previously carved out.

Right now in his hands, he had over twenty fire pearls from Dou Wang-class fire lizard, and three more from initial-level Dou Huang-class ones.

If he absorbed them all, his strength should increase by a decent margin.

In this ancient, silent magma world, time flowed by silently like grains of sand slipping through the fingers.

No one knew how long had passed, but eventually, Lin Feng had completely refined all the energy within the fire pearls.

His Dou Qi level had now gotten significantly closer to Seven-Star Dou Huang.

If he were to obtain another batch of fire pearls similar to the last, he was confident he could break through to Seven-Star Dou Huang.

However, after thinking things over, Lin Feng decided to wait a while before diving back into the magma.

As for now—this was the perfect time to search through Elder Ying Shan's storage ring.

That mysterious old man might just give him a pleasant surprise.

After all, in the original story, this old man had once taken out a mid seventh-tier pill—Revival Pill.

A few years ago, at the Spirit Mountain City auction, he had even produced an ancient seventh-tier pill recipe.

So there was no way Lin Feng believed there wouldn't be anything good in that old man's ring.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately took out the storage ring he had retrieved from Elder Ying Shan.

The ring was primarily made of a white metal.

Set at its center was a fiery red storage stone.

As his hand grasped the ring, Lin Feng injected his soul power into it.

However, just as his soul power tried to enter the ring, it was suddenly bounced back by an unexpected resistance.

He froze at first, then exclaimed in surprise, "This ring... it's actually a high-grade storage ring!"

This unexpected discovery truly caught him off guard.

You had to understand—high-grade storage rings were exceedingly rare in the Northwestern Region. One could say they were nearly impossible to come by.

Who would've thought Elder Ying Shan actually had one?

That said, the old man's soul power was far inferior to Lin Feng's.

And now that the man was already dead, erasing his soul imprint was no big deal.

After playing with the storage ring for a moment, a surge of fierce soul power suddenly burst out from the center of Lin Feng's brows.

Without the slightest hesitation, he forcefully erased the soul imprint left behind by Elder Ying Shan in the most direct and brutal way possible.

With the imprint cleared, Lin Feng's soul perception flowed smoothly into the ring's space.

The sight inside the ring, however, was quite different from what Lin Feng had expected. Far from being empty, the space was packed to the brim.

Neatly arranged wooden shelves of exceptional craftsmanship lined the space, each level filled with a variety of items.

And the most numerous among them—were scrolls!

Staring in disbelief at the hundreds, possibly thousands of scrolls piled within, Lin Feng muttered, stunned, "These scrolls... don't tell me they're all cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques? Did that old man have some kind of collecting obsession?"

This strange and unusual scene instantly piqued Lin Feng's curiosity.

Elder Ying Shan hadn't belonged to any powerful faction. By logic, the things he collected should have been few in number but of high quality.

Yet here was this sheer abundance of items—so excessive it bordered on bizarre.

Lin Feng swept his spiritual sense casually through the ring's space, then reached out and randomly pulled out a particularly well-preserved ancient scroll to examine it.

"Huh? A seventh-tier pill recipe?!"

His eyes widened again as he scanned the contents of the scroll.

A quick glance revealed that this wasn't the same seventh-tier recipe that Elder Ying Shan had previously used for trade.

Suddenly, Lin Feng's eyes darted to the countless other scrolls piled nearby, his expression frozen for a second before he muttered in disbelief, "Could it be...?"

Sensing a shocking possibility, Lin Feng's soul power surged again into the ring.

He swiftly retrieved all the scrolls surrounding that previous seventh-tier recipe.

As the faint glow of the storage ring continued to flicker, a few moments later, more than twenty ancient scrolls of various colors had appeared before him.

He began inspecting them one by one.

And as he did, the astonishment on his face only grew deeper.

Each of the scrolls contained a pill recipe, with the lowest being low-grade seventh-tier, and the highest reaching the peak of seventh-tier.

"So many high-grade recipes... did this old man loot the entire estate of a high-rank alchemist?"

Lin Feng stared at the pile of pill recipes in front of him with barely contained joy, his voice tinged with disbelief.

This collection could almost rival the entire lifetime archive of Han Feng!

That said, judging from their style and writing, these recipes were likely very old—some even possibly lost to time.

After a moment of reflection, Lin Feng murmured, "Looks like this Elder Ying Shan must've had his own fortuitous encounter. No wonder he was able to go against the odds from being the third on the Black Ranking at the beginning to become a Four-Star Dou Zong."

Having browsed through the high-grade recipes, Lin Feng plunged his soul power back into the storage ring for a more thorough search.

He didn't bother checking anything below fifth-tier—there were simply too many of them.

Instead, he focused primarily on the sixth-tier pill recipes.

After examining over a hundred sixth-tier scrolls, his soul perception continued sweeping through the wooden shelves deeper within the ring.

"Peak seventh-tier alchemy techniques... It's becoming more and more likely that Elder Ying Shan discovered an inheritance site left behind by some ancient high-ranking alchemist."

Setting aside the ancient technique scroll in his hand, Lin Feng's face lit up with uncontainable excitement.

Moments later, as he flipped through an old alchemy compendium, he came across a detailed section describing Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.

The record even included information suggesting that the Bodhisattva Seed might sometimes be found inside the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva!

"No wonder that old man was so desperate to get his hands on it. He already knew the secret!"

Closing the ancient book slowly, Lin Feng subconsciously stroked his chin and sighed with emotion.
