Seeing their hesitation, Lin Feng took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said, "As long as the two seniors are willing to help me, I will present each of you with three Zong Breaking Pill in the future, along with my friendship."
"Three Zong Breaking Pill each? Kid, do you even know the value of a Zong Breaking Pill?"
Lu Man glanced at Lin Feng, let out a sneer, and said.
From the bottom of her heart, she didn't believe Lin Feng could produce three Zong Breaking Pill.
After all, while Zong Breaking Pill was only a peak sixth-tier pill, its actual value had already surpassed many low seventh-tier pills.
"Heh, I can't produce them now, but I believe that within ten years, I will be able to refine them!"
As he spoke, a powerful surge of soul power burst from his body, creating an invisible wave that rapidly spread around him.
"Heh, this kid has such strong soul power! It's on par with the peak fourth-tier alchemists I've seen in the clan."
Sensing the soul fluctuations from Lin Feng, Bai Ya's expression suddenly changed as he exclaimed in surprise.
"You're an alchemist?"
Seeing that soul wave, Lu Man frowned slightly before asking.
Lin Feng nodded and replied, "Yes. I may only be a third-tier alchemist now, but I believe it won't take long before I reach the fourth tier!"
Hearing this, both the human and the serpent were once again shocked.
This Lin Feng was only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet he was already a third-tier alchemist and was confident in advancing to the fourth tier soon.
If that was the case, then ten years later, Lin Feng refining Zong Breaking Pill was indeed highly possible.
In fact, there was even a chance that within ten years, he could advance to the seventh tier!
One must know that ten years was not a long time for them as Dou Huang.
Especially for Bai Ya, who was a magic beast—ten years was merely a few extra naps.
If they agreed to Lin Feng's request now, they wouldn't just receive three Zong Breaking Pill in the future.
They would also gain the friendship of a sixth-tier, or even seventh-tier, alchemist. That value…
Thinking of this, Bai Ya's sly vertical pupils shifted, and he immediately made his decision.
With a sudden flap of his four pairs of wings, he laughed and said, "Heh, kid, since you've said this much, how could we refuse? Where is the Heavenly Flame? We'll help you retrieve it right now."
Seeing his companion agree, Lu Man, who was already tempted, no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.
Hearing them agree, Lin Feng immediately smiled.
A wave of excitement surged in his heart—he knew he had made the right gamble this time.
Seeing that things had been resolved perfectly, Qing Lin also let out a sigh of relief.
"It's very close to here. Even flying, it will take less than ten minutes. Please follow me."
After speaking, Lin Feng picked up Qing Lin and flew toward the Heavenly Flame's location.
"Whoosh—"
With a faint sound, three figures landed steadily on a sand dune.
"The Heavenly Flame is right below us. Senior Bai Ya, your body is too large, so it's better for Senior Lu Man and me to go down together."
Lin Feng removed the previous concealment and retrieved the two guardian Desert Horned Vipers before speaking.
"It's underground? You actually managed to find it?"
Looking at the pitch-black passage, Lu Man couldn't help but sigh.
If no one had told her about this place, she would never have found it, even if someone had beaten her to death.
Turning to look at Bai Ya's massive body, she said, "Bai Ya, you and the Saintess stay up here. I'll go down with this kid."
Hearing this, Lin Feng hurriedly said, "That won't work. Only the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent knows the path. Qing Lin must come with us."
"Fine then, the three of us will go down. Bai Ya, you stay here and keep watch."
Lu Man glanced at Qing Lin in Lin Feng's arms, pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
After all, as a Dou Huang, ensuring the safety of these two wouldn't be a problem.
"No problem. I'll take care of the security up here."
With that, the Snake Emperor flapped its wings and hid behind a distant sand dune.
Lu Man gathered Dou Qi in her palm and thrust it forcefully toward the passage below.
"Puff~"
With a faint sound, the passage was instantly expanded by the powerful Dou Qi, making it wide enough for them to walk through without bending down.
"So this is the power of a Dou Huang..."
Seeing this, Lin Feng smacked his lips in admiration.
"Let's go, kid."
After speaking, Lu Man charged straight into the passage below.
Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly followed.
This time, the widened tunnel allowed them to use Dou Qi for movement, significantly speeding up their descent.
In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the underground cavern.
Looking at the vast sea of magma ahead, Lu Man frowned slightly.
The air here was almost devoid of wood-attribute Dou Qi, making it extremely unpleasant for her.
Right now, she just wanted to find the Heavenly Flame as quickly as possible and leave.
"Where's the Heavenly Flame?"
Lu Man turned her head and asked.
"It's beneath the magma."
Lin Feng put down Qing Lin and replied.
Hearing this, Lu Man's brows furrowed again. If it were near the surface, that would be one thing.
But if they had to go too deep, even as a Dou Huang, she would have to be extremely cautious.
Moreover, this underground cavern had an abnormally scarce amount of wood-attribute Dou Qi, making things even more troublesome for her.
If the Heavenly Flame went berserk down there, it wouldn't be fun at all.
Turning to Lin Feng, Lu Man's expression became serious as she said, "I don't think I can retrieve it for you. Even as a Dou Huang, I may not be able to suppress a rampaging Heavenly Flame in the magma."
Lin Feng immediately understood her concerns and chuckled. "No need to worry, Senior. I have a way to control the Heavenly Flame. I just need you to hold it off for a while so I can retrieve it."
"Oh? I didn't expect you to have a method to control the Heavenly Flame. If that's the case, let's go."
Seeing his confidence, Lu Man no longer hesitated and agreed decisively.
After all, Lin Feng was going down as well. She didn't believe he would joke around with his own life.
Lin Feng nodded and turned to Qing Lin. "Summon Xiao Ling to lead the way."
"Yes, Young Master."
Qing Lin's eyes flashed with a green light, and soon, Xiao Ling was released.
Upon seeing the familiar magma pool, Xiao Ling let out an excited howl.
Then, it swiftly dove into the lava, swimming freely. With the aid of the magma, its injuries also began to heal gradually.
Sensing Xiao Ling's excitement, Qing Lin smiled and instructed, "Xiao Ling, take Young Master to find that azure flame."
"Hiss—"
Hearing Qing Lin's command, Xiao Ling let out a hiss before diving deeper into the magma.
"Let's go."
As Lu Man's voice fell, a Dou Qi shield, several meters in diameter, enveloped Lin Feng.
Then, without hesitation, Lu Man leaped into the magma and vanished from sight.
"Qing Lin, wait for me here."
After saying this, Lin Feng clenched his teeth and, under Qing Lin's worried gaze, jumped into the magma.
"Plop..."
As his body plunged down, fiery-red magma splashed in all directions.
Seeing the magma being blocked by the green Dou Qi barrier, Lin Feng finally relaxed.
Without hesitation, he spread his Purple Cloud Wings, submerged into the magma, and rushed downward.
