"This..."

The Frozen Emperor's eye twitched briefly, and he took a deep breath, finally waving his sleeve with a low growl, "Let's go!"

Murong Qianjun glared at Ling Feng with resentment and hurriedly chased after the figure of the Frozen Emperor, running out.

Murong Zining snorted lightly, secretly memorizing the name "Long Fei," determined to teach him a lesson if given the chance, making him understand that Murong Zining must not be lightly disrespected!

After the Murong family left, Ling Feng finally bowed to Yang Shuzi, expressing gratitude, "Thank you elder for your assistance!"

"It's a small matter, not worth mentioning."

Yang Shuzi examined Ling Feng from head to toe, squinting his eyes with a smile, "You brat, I didn't realize your alchemy accomplishment is so high!"

Saying this, Yang Shuzi turned his gaze to the Despicable Donkey, showing great surprise in his eyes, "A Demon Emperor Level black donkey, and these dragon scales, you might even grow dragon horns. Brat, you didn't just use rare elixirs to forcefully elevate an ordinary black donkey to this realm, did you?"

"Donkey your uncle, you are the black donkey! I am the Divine Beast, the Divine Beast!"

The Despicable Donkey exploded at the mention of being an ordinary black donkey, regardless of who the opponent was, insulting them first.

"Despicable Donkey, don't be rash!"

Ling Feng hastily pressed down the donkey, hearing Yang Shuzi laugh heartily, "No harm, no harm! Interesting, truly interesting!"

Ling Feng's mouth twitched slightly, wondering if Yang Shuzi was addicted to getting cursed?

"A Divine Beast that looks like a black donkey, I've never heard of such!"

Yang Shuzi squinted, laughing aloud.

"It's because you are uninformed!" The Despicable Donkey crossed its hooves over its chest, shaking its long ears arrogantly.

"Even if I'm uninformed."

Yang Shuzi didn't get angry, smiling and looking at Ling Feng again, speaking softly, "Little brother, the elixir you just consumed, it's the Xuanhai Ningshen Pill, isn't it?"

"Correct."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, "The situation was urgent just now. Actually, at the last moment, the Xuanhai Ningshen Pill I refined barely condensed, so I had to immediately consume it to refine its power. If the elder has no other matters, I wish to undergo secluded cultivation for a while, and once the refining is complete, I'll personally thank you!"

"Ha-ha, since you'll come by anyway, why wait until after secluded cultivation."

Yang Shuzi laughed heartily, "Little brother, I will bestow you a stroke of fortune!"

Speaking, Yang Shuzi placed his hand on Ling Feng's shoulder, a warm current directly flowing from Ling Feng's shoulder through his whole body.

"This..."

Ling Feng's pupils slightly contracted, sensing the presence of an Abnormal Fire.

Indeed, this Yang Shuzi, as a high-level alchemist, surely has the help of an Abnormal Fire.

"The Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame can quickly decompose the spiritual power within the elixir into incredibly fine spiritual energy particles. It also aids you in breaking through your cultivation barrier!"

Yang Shuzi stroked his beard and yelled, "Break!"

In an instant, Ling Feng felt the barrier of the Ninth Layer of the Divine Origin Realm collapse completely, those tiny particles of spiritual energy surging through the cracks of the barrier. In merely a few moments, Ling Feng's cultivation had directly advanced to the Ninth Layer of the Divine Origin Realm!

A wave of comfort washed over him, nearly healing the external wounds from the previous Pill Furnace explosion.

"Thank you, elder!"

Ling Feng bowed to Yang Shuzi, his face showing extreme excitement. He not only broke through to the Ninth Layer of the Divine Origin Realm with Yang Shuzi's Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame but also acquired a bit of its fire seed.

Although this bit of fire seed might be meaningless to ordinary people, to Ling Feng, who practiced the Swallowing Flame Technique, it equates to a complete Abnormal Fire.

After all, the Swallowing Flame Technique only requires a bit of fire seed to directly devour and evolve it.

Ever since the Swallowing Flame technique advanced to the Third Rank, Ling Feng hadn't obtained a new Abnormal Fire for a long time, and the Swallowing Flame had been starved for a while. Obtaining the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame this time will undoubtedly elevate it further.

"I didn't help you without conditions."

Yang Shuzi retracted the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame, speaking softly.

Ling Feng touched his nose, smiling, "Among what junior possesses, the only thing that might be worth the elder's attention is my alchemy accomplishment. Does the elder want my help in alchemy?"

"You're quite smart!"

Yang Shuzi laughed heartily, "People say you have a pig's head, but though you've got a pig's head, your mind is sharp!"

Ling Feng smiled wryly, inwardly cursing Yang Huanzhi: I trusted your nonsense to make myself look like this!

"Ha-ha, I'm always frank, don't take it to heart, little brother."

Yang Shuzi grinned and continued, "Alright, since I've already helped you refine the medicine's power, you shall come with me now."

"Naturally, elder, please wait a moment."

Ling Feng thought for a moment, flew back to the courtyard with the Despicable Donkey, changed out of his blood-stained robe, and left the donkey to protect Tuoba Yan, feeling reassured enough to join Yang Shuzi at his residence.

…

Before long, Ling Feng arrived at a rather secluded valley. The valley was filled with chirping birds and fragrant flowers. Right in his view was a medicine field filled with spirit flowers and herbs.

"Heavenly Golden Fragrance! Purple Phoenix Blood Fruit! ... They're all rare exotic species! Elder, you've truly broadened my horizons!"

Ling Feng gave Yang Shuzi a thumbs up. Many varieties seen here had only been read about in books before, surprising Ling Feng with how Yang Shuzi could gather so many spirit flowers and herbs.

"Ha-ha, you actually recognize them, which surprises me!"

Yang Shuzi stroked his beard further, confirming that asking Ling Feng for assistance was the right choice.

Past the medicine field lay a few modest bamboo houses, lending Yang Shuzi a bit of the aura of an outsider.

The entire valley was protected by an Array. Without Yang Shuzi leading the way, Ling Feng wouldn't have found this place.

Yet, the next moment, Ling Feng saw in the small courtyard formed by the bamboo houses, an elderly woman with graying hair standing outside.

The elderly woman seemed well-preserved, though she had gray hair, lacking wrinkles, dressed modestly. She appeared ordinary, but with careful sensing, she wasn't just any old woman; she was a Human Emperor Level expert!

Furthermore, her cultivation was at least of the Third Level Human Emperor!

Seeing the elderly woman appear, Yang Shuzi noticeably paused, sighed softly, and said, "Little brother, wait here for a moment while I deal with the old woman."

"Uh... I will wait here, elder."

Ling Feng touched his nose, thinking: could this elderly woman be Yang Shuzi's wife?
