With his Five-Star Dou Shi cultivation level, along with having mastered the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change, an ordinary early-stage Da Dou Shi would be no match for him.
Furthermore, with Xiao Cai as his trump card, traveling alone to Jia Nan Academy would not pose much of a problem.
Halfway through his journey, Lin Feng suddenly thought of Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo.
"Sigh, I've known them for so long. I should at least say goodbye. Otherwise, if I suddenly disappear, it might cause some misunderstandings."
After considering this, he turned around and ran toward Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo's residence.
"Who's there?!"
Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo had just fallen asleep when they suddenly sensed someone entering their courtyard. They immediately shouted and rushed outside to check.
Their voices also startled the two women in the adjacent room, waking them up.
"It's me."
Lin Feng lightly leaped down from the courtyard wall and responded to the two men.
Hearing his voice, Fu Lan Ke said irritably, "You brat, why are you climbing walls in the middle of the night for no reason?"
"Sigh... Masters, I may have to leave the Imperial Capital for a while."
Lin Feng cupped his hands and said to the two of them.
"This... why? Why are you suddenly leaving the Imperial Capital?"
Fu Lan Ke asked in confusion.
"When I returned earlier, I was ambushed by He Lei, and… well, this happened."
As he spoke, Lin Feng touched his Storage ring and took out He Lei's corpse.
"This is... He Lei?! You killed him?!"
At this moment, Xue Mei and Lin Fei, who had just finished getting dressed, stepped out of their room. When they saw the corpse on the ground, they were immediately shocked.
"Feng Lin, what happened?!"
Seeing He Lei's corpse, Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo were also taken aback and quickly questioned him.
He Lei was the young master of the He Clan, and his father, He Qian, was a Three-Star Dou Wang.
Such a powerful figure was not someone even Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo wanted to provoke.
Lin Feng did not respond to them immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Xue Mei and Lin Fei.
Following his gaze, Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo looked at the two women, whose faces had turned red. In an instant, they understood the cause of the matter.
They knew that He Lei had been pursuing Xue Mei and Lin Fei, wanting to marry them.
However, because He Lei's reputation was terrible, both the Alchemist Association and the City Lord's Mansion had refused the engagement.
They had never expected He Lei to be so bold—to attack a Fourth-tier Alchemist in the heart of the Imperial Capital, right under the Alchemist Association's nose.
Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
If not for them, Lin Feng would never have been dragged into this mess, let alone offended a Dou Wang-level clan.
"Cough, cough... Feng Lin, these are my personal insights on alchemy from over the years. They're of no use to me anymore, so take them. They should help you."
As he spoke, Ao Tuo took out several scrolls from his Storage ring and handed them to Lin Feng.
He understood that since Lin Feng had killed He Qian's son, the Dou Wang expert would never let this go.
For Lin Feng, leaving and finding a place to hide was the best option.
"Feng Lin, why don't you stay at my house for a while? My father is also a Dou Wang, so the He Clan wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
At that moment, Lin Fei stepped forward and suggested.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I still prefer to leave for now and explore the outside world."
Lin Feng shook his head gently and refused.
He didn't want to place his life in someone else's hands. Even if Lin Fei's father was willing to protect him, there would surely be a price to pay.
After all, anyone who could become the City Lord of Black Rock City was unlikely to be as pure-hearted as these two young women.
Seeing Lin Feng's refusal, Lin Fei lowered her head in disappointment.
"Sigh..."
Faced with this situation, Fu Lan Ke didn't know what else to say.
His previous plans were now completely ruined.
Thinking about Lin Feng's terrifying talent, he gritted his teeth, took out a few scrolls from his Storage ring, hesitated for a moment, and then handed them over.
"This is my master's alchemy inheritance. He was once a Fifth-tier Alchemist. My junior and I lack talent, and after so many years, we still haven't reached his level. These scrolls have been sitting there collecting dust, so you might as well take them."
"Fu Lan Ke, you—"
Seeing his senior brother give away their master's inheritance, Ao Tuo was shocked and tried to protest.
Lin Feng, standing nearby, was also stunned.
He hadn't expected that Fu Lan Ke would give him his master's alchemy inheritance during this farewell.
And it was the legacy of a Fifth-tier Alchemist!
The value of these scrolls was enough to drive most Fourth-tier Alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire to bankruptcy.
Their worth was beyond imagination.
And yet, Fu Lan Ke was simply giving them to him.
"I am the senior disciple. What I say goes."
Fu Lan Ke shook his head at Ao Tuo, then firmly shoved the scrolls into Lin Feng's hands.
Lin Feng finally reacted. These scrolls were indeed something he desperately wanted. So, without being overly polite, he directly stored them in his Storage ring.
He then accepted the alchemy insights from Ao Tuo, and after collecting He Lei's corpse once more, he bowed deeply to Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo.
"Masters, please rest assured. If I ever grow strong in the future, I will never forget your kindness!"
Lin Feng turned to Xue Mei and Lin Fei and said, "I won't forget the help you two have given me during this time. I may not be able to get you a Heavenly Flame, but I'll find a way to get you both a Beast Flame—one that's guaranteed to be beautiful!"
He knew that the two women longed for a real flame, so he promised them.
After all, they had helped him a lot during this period.
Although he didn't consider himself a good person, he believed in repaying kindness.
With that, Lin Feng turned and left under the gazes of the others.
"Senior Brother, you even gave him our master's inheritance. Are you really so sure that he'll be able to grow?"
Watching Lin Feng's departing figure, Ao Tuo addressed Fu Lan Ke as "Senior Brother" for the first time.
Fu Lan Ke stroked his beard and chuckled softly, "Heh, with our talent, the chances of advancing to Fifth-tier Alchemists are slim. Instead of letting this knowledge rot in our hands, why not take a gamble? I believe that once he grows stronger, he won't forget us."
"Whew..."
Luckily, Jia Ma Sacred City was open 24/7, or else he would have had to wait until morning.
Leaving the city, Lin Feng rode his Unicorn Horse, glancing back at the towering walls behind him, his thoughts wandering.
"Ying~Ying~"
Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Cai swiftly slithered onto Lin Feng's shoulder, chirping nonstop.
"Alright, alright, I remember. Once we find a safe place, I'll refine some pills for you."
Lin Feng pulled off his Ice Silkworm Mask and said in an exasperated tone.
Then, he grabbed Xiao Cai and prepared to tuck her back into his sleeve.
But just then—
Xiao Cai suddenly began to struggle violently in his palm!
"Xiao Cai? What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
Lin Feng had never seen Xiao Cai act like this before and was momentarily flustered.
Quickly, he let go of the reins and cradled Xiao Cai with both hands.
But the Heaven Swallowing Python in his palms kept rolling around frantically, its body trembling.
After a moment, a seven-colored glow began to radiate from Xiao Cai's body.
"No way... It can't be..."
Staring at the scene before him, Lin Feng stammered in disbelief as a crazy thought surfaced in his mind.
The seven-colored glow grew stronger and stronger, eventually becoming so intense that Lin Feng could no longer see Xiao Cai's actual body.
At one point—
Lin Feng suddenly felt that Xiao Cai was becoming heavier... larger... and... softer.
The seven-colored light began to take the shape of a human figure.
"Brat, you've got some nerve—keeping me as a pet!"
A sultry, bewitching voice suddenly echoed in Lin Feng's ears.
In the next instant—
The radiant glow dispersed!
And before him—
A flawless, enticing, and breathtakingly beautiful figure appeared.
Lin Feng's throat moved involuntarily as he swallowed.
"...Qu-Queen Medusa..."
The Unicorn Horse beneath him seemed to sense the overwhelming aura and abruptly halted.
Due to the sudden stop—
Lin Feng lost his balance and crashed into the woman's soft, delicate body!
"Bastard!"
Feeling the inappropriate contact, Medusa's face instantly turned icy as a murderous aura erupted from her body.
With a raise of her slender arm, she prepared to strike Lin Feng down on the spot.
"Wait! It wasn't my fault—it's the horse's fault!"
Sensing the overwhelming killing intent, Lin Feng frantically raised his head and pleaded.
"Damn it..."
Medusa was just about to strike when the little creature inside her body suddenly struggled fiercely, forcing her to stop.
The moment she halted her movements, the presence within her body finally calmed down, continuing to gather its strength.
Glaring at Lin Feng, Medusa coldly questioned, "Then what about keeping me as a pet all this time? That's not your fault either?"
"Uh… I… I didn't know that little one was actually you, Your Majesty..."
Lin Feng hurriedly explained himself.
Although he had suspected that Xiao Cai had been helping him, he had never imagined that she was actually Medusa!
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Medusa gave him a suspicious look but did not press the issue further.
Lin Feng quickly removed his outer robe and covered Medusa's body.
He really couldn't keep staring at this incredible sight—he was afraid he might lose control!
If his hands started acting on their own, and he angered Medusa, he wouldn't live to regret it!
Feeling the fabric of Lin Feng's robe, Medusa suddenly realized something.
She was still naked.
With a flick of her hand, she tossed Lin Feng's robe aside and used Dou Qi to condense a new outfit.
Then, her mesmerizing eyes turned to glare at Lin Feng coldly.
Lin Feng let out a dry chuckle and tried to ease the tension, "Hehe, Your Majesty, weren't we once allies? There's no need to treat me so harshly."
"Hmph!"
Medusa's eyes remained sharp as she swept her gaze over their surroundings.
"You're from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Why aren't you staying in the Heavenly Serpent Empire? What are you doing here in Jia Ma Sacred City? And where are those two Dou Huang who were with you before?"
She furrowed her elegant brows, bombarding Lin Feng with questions.
"I'm just out training for a while. As for them, they returned to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. After all, if I kept them with me, it wouldn't really be training, would it?"
Seeing that Medusa still thought he was from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Lin Feng's black eyes flickered slightly, and he decided to play along.
