Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 224 Farewell

After exiting the mental space, Lin Feng did not immediately come out of seclusion. Instead, he took out the alchemy technique that he had not studied for a long time and began to study it again.

Although the environment of the Northwest Continent is too barren, making it difficult for medicinal herbs to grow, miracles naturally exist in such a vast world.

However, finding such rare spiritual items that could serve as the main ingredient for his seventh-grade pills was extremely difficult, even though Lin Feng had requested Elder Su Qian to mobilize the resources of Canaan Academy to search for them.

After more than half a year, we are still a little short of collecting a complete set of medicinal herbs.

Of course, many students from prominent families in Zhongzhou have already made commitments through their families.

As soon as Lin Feng enters Zhongzhou, he can obtain some pills from their families, thus acquiring these rare spiritual herbs that are hard to find in the Northwest Continent.

As for why they didn't send the elixir over now, it can only be described as the outdated and conservative nature of large families.

Before witnessing Lin Feng refine seventh-grade pills with their own eyes, they found it hard to believe that someone who had never left the Northwest Continent and had never been to the center of the Dou Qi Continent—Zhongzhou—could have cultivated his alchemy skills to such a high level at such a young age.

Furthermore, the intelligence reports also describe him as a Dou Zong powerhouse. The combination of these two is truly astonishing!

Lin Feng wasn't angry after seeing the replies from these powerful families; he just smiled calmly.

These people still don't understand the principle that it's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade. Once he arrives in Zhongzhou, these rare medicinal herbs from the Northwest Continent will no longer be so sought after.

Even if Lin Feng were to consider the students of the academy, he might not necessarily help them refine pills. After all, as a seventh-grade alchemy master, his time is very precious.

With this in mind, Lin Feng resumed his study of the scroll in his hand, attempting to research and develop a seventh-grade Five Elements Pill.

He has now reached the Seven Star Dou Zong realm, but due to the constraints of the environment, the Northwest Continent does not have enough high-grade spiritual herbs for him to research the Seventh Grade Five Elements Pill.

Moreover, one of the main materials, the seventh-order magical beast core, is extremely rare in the Northwest Continent.

Lin Feng currently doesn't have much stock, and what's even more troubling for him is that after cultivating to the seventh-level Dou Zong, the gap between each star level has started to widen.

As he delved deeper into the study of the Seventh Grade Five Elements Pill, he seriously suspected that the seventh-order magic core, one of the main ingredients, must be refined using the magic core of a seventh-order high-level magical beast.

Since even a seventh-grade Five Elements Pill has such requirements, it makes no sense that a higher-grade eighth-grade Five Elements Pill, or even a ninth-grade Treasure Pill, could be successfully refined using the weakest magic core of the same grade!

What troubled Lin Feng even more was that after half a year of seclusion, he had reached the Seven Star Dou Zong realm. If Zi Yan did not come out of seclusion, he might miss the opportunity to use the Seventh Grade Five Elements Pill.

He even reached the peak of the Dou Zong realm before the formula for the elixir was developed. Of course, Lin Feng wouldn't deliberately delay his Dou Qi cultivation progress just to wait for the elixir to be produced.

While Lin Feng was studying alchemy, attempting to develop a seventh-grade Five Elements Pill, and refining the Dragon Emperor's essence blood, Zi Yan was also gradually mastering the secret techniques taught by the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun.

However, this secret technique of traversing space, though seemingly inherent to the ancient dragon race and etched deep within their bloodline, is something Zi Yan was born with the ability to use. But how to conceal one's aura while traversing space, how to sense spatial turbulence, and how to reach one's destination more quickly are all challenges.

These are things that talent cannot directly bring; this is the importance of inheritance, a summary of the strength of Dragon Island's past generations.

Now, Zhu Kun is going to pass on this experience to Zi Yan, and Zi Yan is also extremely talented, often able to master it at a very fast speed.

Time passed again, and three months went by as everyone diligently cultivated themselves.

On this day, beneath the endless underground magma space, Zi Yan once again emerged from the void and defeated an eighth-tier lizardman. Zhu Kun then announced the end of the special training.

After that, the father and daughter, one talking and the other listening, occasionally with Miss Ziyan expressing her own opinions, did not know how much time had passed. Then, under Zhukun's gaze, Ziyan traveled towards the earth.

"Zi Yan, I hope you can always roam freely in the endless void, just like you are today. That is the highest destiny for the dragon race!"

The old Dragon Emperor murmured softly. This domineering ruler was, at this moment, merely a father. However, dragons were not good at being sentimental, let alone the ruler of a race.

After a long roar, the Dragon Emperor transformed into a form that was countless miles long and began to crash madly into the Dou Di Space.

The lizardmen, unaware of the situation, assumed this was one of the guardians' daily activities.

However, if Emperor Tuoshe were here, he would have noticed that every time Zhukun rammed into the spatial barrier, he would be covered in wounds. Yet, his aura would subtly increase by a fraction.

Don't underestimate these slight improvements. Although they may not seem like much to a top expert like Zhu Kun, you can look at Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi, both of whom are at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm. How long has it been since they improved?

On this day, the weather was fine and the sky was clear. Above the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, a group of people held a farewell ceremony for Lin Feng and the others.

Above the sky, a giant griffin was circling, none other than the long-absent Xuanwu.

"Lin Feng, once we reach Zhongzhou, you'd better take good care of Zi Yan, or I won't let you off the hook!"

Opposite Lin Feng was Elder Su Qian, who had offered to see Lin Feng off a few days earlier after learning that Lin Feng had left the academy to venture into the Central Plains.

Beside him were Elder Qianbai, whom Lin Feng had met a few times, Hu Qian, the vice dean of the outer academy, Commander Wu of the law enforcement team, and others.

However, Elder Huo had been in seclusion for some time researching a sixth-grade pill and had not yet emerged, thus missing this opportunity to bid farewell to Lin Feng.

Of course, apart from the academy's higher-ups, Xiao Yan was the only other person in the academy.

Although Lin Feng is no longer afraid of the Soul Palace, he still wants to keep a low profile and quietly make a fortune.

After all, the Dragon Emperor's essence blood is becoming increasingly scarce, so it's best to use it to improve one's cultivation level and gain insights into the spatial realm.

"Hmph, old man Su Qian, I'm now a high-level Dou Zong, far stronger than you, an old man who hasn't improved much. Who dares to bully me!"

Upon hearing the topic about herself, before Lin Feng could even respond, Miss Zi Yan wrinkled her nose and swung her fists around a few times. The strong wind from her punches caused Su Qian and the others to quickly take two steps back. Afterwards, they all looked at Miss Zi Yan speechlessly.

Seeing this, Miss Ziyan was extremely embarrassed and quickly looked up at the sky, as if nothing had happened.

"Rest assured, Elder, Lin Feng will ensure that Zi Yan suffers even the slightest harm!"

As a member of the Black Wind Duo, Lin Feng hurriedly spoke up to ease his old buddy's embarrassment.

"Your current level of cultivation has far exceeded my expectations. I only hope that everything goes smoothly so that one day you can return to the academy to visit!"

Elder Su Qian stroked his beard slightly, feeling extremely proud of the people before him. These advanced Dou Zongs, though not having reached their level through the academy's training, were nonetheless graduates of the academy!

"Old man, you'd better cultivate diligently, lest by the time Miss Ziyan returns in glory, the grass on your grave will already be so tall!"

Zi Yan, who had grown into a young woman in her prime due to her breakthrough in cultivation, made a hand gesture. The meaning behind her words made Elder Su Qian vomit blood again.

"Elder, rest assured, even if we are unable to return, we will make sure our name is known throughout the Dou Qi Continent. At that time, you will also be able to know about our situation at the academy."

Seeing the elder's expression, Lin Feng couldn't help but speak again to ease the atmosphere.

"Young friend Lin Feng!"

Just then, a hoarse voice rang out; it was Elder Qian, one of the two elders, who spoke.

"A thousand-year veteran?"

"Although you have reached the advanced Dou Zong realm, in fact, if we were to truly discuss combat strength, even I and Bai Lie might not be your match."

As Qianmu spoke, a look of shock flashed across his eyes.

He still remembered the first time he met Lin Feng. At that time, he only wanted to obtain a low-level cultivation technique. In just a few years, Lin Feng's combat strength had surpassed his.

Perhaps, this is what true genius is!

"No need to be modest," Qianmu waved his hand, seeing Lin Feng about to say something, and continued, "The academy can only offer you so much help now. Therefore, after discussing it with Bai Lie Su Qian, we've decided to make an exception and give you some benefits. Now!"

As he spoke, Elder Qian tossed out a storage ring. "Inside this are copies of all the Earth-rank combat techniques from the library. I hope you will be able to create your own technique in the future!"

"Elders, Grand Elders, Lin Feng expresses his sincere gratitude!"

After Lin Feng carefully put away the storage ring, he clasped his hands in thanks.

Although he had only practiced one of the cultivation techniques and combat skills in the library, he had still roughly looked at them. All the items in there, including even the eighth-grade pills, required several to exchange for.

Now, the academy has entrusted it to him so easily; how could he not be moved?

"There's no need for that. We've all seen your contributions to the academy."

The old man waved his hand again, and at this moment, the old man spoke up.

"Young friend Lin Feng, please keep this jade slip. It allows you to contact the old dean. If you encounter any difficulties in Zhongzhou in the future, you can try to contact him."

Bai Lie suddenly made a sarcastic remark, as if something had occurred to him.

"Although this old guy is a hands-off manager, he's extremely protective of his own. You can go to him for anything; as one of the academy's top talents, he'll take care of you!"

"By the way, the last time I saw this old guy, he had already reached the Transcendent Dou Zun realm!"

"Transferring to another region?"

"Let me tell you about it. Although I don't know much myself, it's said that because the difference between a Dou Zun and a Dou Sheng is too great, the sages of the Dou Qi Continent created the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun realm. After compressing Dou Qi nine times, one reaches a level extremely close to that of a Half-Saint!"

"Only by completing the Half-Saint realm can one truly reach the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent and become the legendary Dou Sheng!"

At this point, Bai Lie looked intently at Lin Feng, his tone filled with anticipation.

"At just over twenty years old, you've already reached the advanced Dou Zong level, and your alchemy skills are at the seventh rank. Perhaps you have a chance to reach the Dou Sheng level!!!"

"Boom!"

Upon hearing Bai Lie's words, Su Qian and the others were all shocked, and immediately turned their gazes intently to Lin Feng.

Facing the many gazes, Lin Feng felt the pressure, but he didn't deny it. Having reached this point, Lin Feng was confident that he would definitely achieve the Dou Sheng realm. In fact, even after entering the Dou Sheng realm, he would still make considerable progress.

Of course, before he truly becomes a Dou Sheng, he won't go around proclaiming that he has the potential to become a Dou Sheng.

Generally, those who promote themselves in this way end up in a rather tragic way. Just like in the distant neighboring country, there is a classic saying: "My son Wang Teng has the appearance of an emperor!"

After a brief moment of shock, everyone stepped forward one after another to say their farewells.

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, I will definitely work hard to catch up with you!"

When it was Xiao Yan's turn, his face was full of excitement. He had always taken Lin Feng as his role model, and now that Lin Feng was about to go to Zhongzhou to begin his legendary journey, how could he not be excited?

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, I'll go to Zhongzhou first to scout things out. Your talent is no less than mine, and I hope to hear news of you there soon!"

"Gentlemen!"

After everyone had finished their greetings, Lin Feng's expression turned serious. "Even a thousand miles of farewell must come to an end. We'll meet again someday!"

"Elder Lin Feng, we will await your good news here in the Northwest Continent!"

Elder Su Qian stroked his beard, a smile on his face.

"Be careful, and contact the old dean if anything happens. He can handle anything below the Dou Sheng level!"

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, I will definitely reach the Dou Huang realm as soon as possible and go to Zhongzhou. We will reunite then!"

"."

"Lin Feng, I hope that when we meet again, you will have achieved a respectable position in the Pill Tower. Of course, the most important thing is still your own cultivation of alchemy skills. I hope you will not let down my alchemy expertise!"

At this moment of parting, even Yao Chen couldn't help but secretly send a telepathic message.

"howl"

The dazzling dance swirling in the sky seemed to know Lin Feng's thoughts, and a huge roar came from the sky, urging Lin Feng on.

"Well then, everyone, see you next time!"

Lin Feng waved with a smile, then took Cai Lin and the others into the air and appeared on Xuan Wu's body.

With a few flaps of its enormous griffin wings, it disappeared from everyone's sight.
