Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 19 Spirit Flame Monkey

The mountain peaks soar into the clouds, seemingly piercing the heavens, with mist swirling among them, like mysterious beasts roaming within. Whenever sunlight filters through the clouds and shines upon the mountaintops, the entire mountain range appears to be bathed in gold—it's truly breathtaking!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

At that moment, a black figure flashed by, shattering the beautiful scene. After a few leaps, Lin Feng stopped atop a tall tree and sat down to rest.

He slowly placed his hand on his forehead and looked into the distance. All he saw was lush greenery, with the occasional fierce roar of a beast that sent chills down his spine.

After putting his hand down, Lin Feng sighed inwardly, "I've been in the Monster Mountain Range for three days now, trying to consolidate my two-star advancement. Life without Qinglin and Little Fairy Doctor is just unbearable."

"However..." He clenched his firm fist, "These three days of non-stop fighting, coupled with the medicinal bath, have brought my physical strength to a level almost comparable to that of a fourth-tier magical beast, even without advanced body-tempering techniques."

"Moreover," Lin Feng licked his lips as he gazed again at the dense orchard in the distance, "as long as I acquire that treasure, reaching a physical strength comparable to a fourth-tier magical beast will be no problem at all. It will even greatly enhance my cultivation of battle qi."

After resting with his eyes closed for about half an hour, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, looked into the distance, and spoke in a cryptic tone.

"Hunting time begins..."

He channeled his fighting spirit into his legs, gathered his strength, and then leaped away, disappearing into the mountains.

……

Inside a vast wild orchard, Lin Feng hid in a dense thicket, intently observing the scene within and deep in thought.

"Aww, woof..."

In the lush orchard, a group of lively and adorable monkeys are frolicking. Their agile bodies and vibrant fur resemble leaping flames as they dart among the treetops. Sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting golden shimmers on their nimble figures.

The monkeys sometimes frolicked among the branches, and sometimes climbed to the top of the treetops, gazing curiously at the distant scenery.

In this mysterious forest, the monkeys live a carefree life. They eat wild fruits, live in tree hollows, and coexist harmoniously with nature.

Spirit Flame Monkey: A social magical beast, gentle in nature, fond of playing and frolicking. They are skilled at brewing wine, and because their monkey wine is rich in spiritual energy and pure, the monkeys generally have a high level of cultivation, with the chief even possessing the peak level of the fourth rank.

Lin Feng rubbed his chin, looking at the monkey king lying on a boulder basking in the sun, and the generals guarding him.

"This is going to be difficult!" Lin Feng frowned as he looked at the powerful aura emanating from the monkey king and his generals. "I didn't expect that not only are the monkey kings at the peak of the fourth rank, but even the guarding monkey generals are close to reaching the fourth rank."

This thwarted his plan to force a deal. Ha, what a joke! Even if his Five Elements Technique was incredibly powerful, his highest level of combat skill was only Xuan rank. He didn't have the young lady's presence to casually use the Emperor Seal Technique.

Although he possessed flying combat skills and relied on the profound power of the Five Elements Technique, easily traversing the outer edge of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, this meant he couldn't obtain the Monkey Wine. Moreover, looking at this group of gentle monkeys, "Indiscriminate killing without any grudge seems rather inappropriate!"

Lin Feng stroked his chin, deep in thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, a glint of light flashing within them. "It can be done like this!" Immediately afterward, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

……

Standing beside a pleasant waterfall, Lin Feng looked around and thought, "This should be the place."

Then, in a flash, he entered a cave. With a wave of his hand, a surge of battle energy swept through, condensing the dust inside the cave into a cloud.

He held it in his palm and examined it for a while. "It seems that my battle qi has indeed stabilized. When I first broke through, I didn't have such refined control." Then he flicked his hand and threw it outside the cave.

After taking out various phosphorescent materials and household items prepared by Little Fairy Doctor from his storage ring, he arranged them one by one.

Lin Feng sighed, "I really can't live without them!" He seemed to recall the image of Qing Lin's tearful face and the little fairy doctor's reluctant expression when they parted.

After everything was ready, Lin Feng reached into his storage ring and took out five medicine cauldrons and all the medicinal herbs.

This time, he was going to refine the Drunken Dragon Saliva, which could render even fifth-order magical beasts unconscious, and the Beast Language Pill for prevention.

Drunken Dragon Saliva: Not a medicinal pill; it only works on magical beasts or humans with magical beast bloodlines. It can render magical beasts below the fifth rank senseless for three hours. Its main ingredients are Drunken Dragon Fruit and Confusion Grass…

Beast Language Pill: Ranked third grade, its effect is to allow a person to communicate with magical beasts after consuming it. It is simple to refine; the main ingredients are Beast Spirit Fruit, Clear Mind Grass…

Lin Feng's plan was to first use the Drunken Dragon Saliva to see if he could take the Monkey Wine without anyone noticing. If that didn't work, he would use the Beast Language Pill to communicate; if that failed, he would have to use his flying combat skills to escape.

Lin Feng assessed his own combat strength: a second-star Dou Ling, with rich combat experience—well, that wasn't much of an advantage. His five-attribute Dou Qi was of several times the quality of an ordinary person, comparable to a four-star Dou Ling.

The Five Elements Technique is comparable to the Earth Rank, but to be conservative, it's only upgraded by one star, making it comparable to a five-star Battle Spirit. As for combat skills, it doesn't offer much advantage; those who can cultivate to the Battle Spirit Rank are basically all at the Profound Rank.

Oh, right, there's also aerial combat skill, high-altitude suppression, which is a one-star advantage. Add to that a physical strength nearly matching that of a Battle Spirit, and another star. As for soul power, it can't be fully utilized due to the lack of soul skills.

Therefore, Lin Feng's strength can be considered equivalent to a Seven-Star Dou Ling. This was achieved through his own hard work, not by relying on anything like Deep Blue, which is extremely difficult.

However, this still had no effect against the powerful Spiritfire Monkey troop.

Therefore, we can only hope that this dragon's saliva will work.

Once everything was ready, Lin Feng raised a ball of beast fire in his palm and threw it into the cauldron with a wave of his hand.

Fire is lit, the cauldron is filled with broth...

Once the temperature inside the medicine cauldron reached a certain level, Lin Feng flicked his wrist and threw both portions of medicinal herbs into it.

That's right, it's one cauldron for two refining processes. Although he has never been able to gather all the medicinal materials to refine a fourth-grade pill and advance to the fourth-grade alchemist level.

However, Lin Feng had become incredibly proficient in the pill formulas he possessed. His understanding of pharmacology had also reached its peak, allowing him to create his own exclusive pills—the Five Elements (Dou Zhe, Dou Shi) Pill, ranked second-grade, and the Five Elements (Great Dou Shi) Pill, ranked at the peak of third-grade.

Therefore, if Lin Feng were to refine this mere third-grade pill, he could confidently say that he could rival a fourth-grade alchemist.

"Crackling sound..."

The flames continued to scorch the medicinal herbs, gradually melting them. After reaching a critical point, Lin Feng changed his hand seals.

A powerful surge of soul force burst forth, slamming down fiercely onto the two primordial masses.

"Give it to me, Ning..."
