It was fortunate that Xiao Feng's Soul Realm had already advanced to the Late Mortal Realm; otherwise, he would have been equally helpless against this thing.
Now that the Seal was broken, a look of immense curiosity appeared on Xiao Feng's face. He clearly wanted to see what kind of object had been placed under such a powerful Seal.
Immediately, his Soul Power merged directly into the scroll, and he began to investigate the information within.
...
"Hiss..."
"This... this is!?"
"A Soul Cultivation Method! It's actually this!"
However, once Xiao Feng clearly saw the information within the scroll, his entire being became completely unsettled. He drew in a sharp breath, and the expression on his face could be described as incredibly vivid.
Shock. Stupefaction. Incredulity.
Finally, it all transformed into endless wild joy.
At this moment, he no longer knew how to describe his feelings. It was simply like someone handing him a pillow just as he was getting sleepy.
And on the current Dou Qi Continent, Soul Cultivation Methods were rarer than phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Their preciousness was comparable to Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques. Even among the ancient clans, such methods were considered priceless treasures.
Yet now, one had appeared before him.
Although Xiao Feng already possessed a Profound Low-Level Soul Cultivation Method, he felt no hesitation whatsoever in studying another.
After all, in the world of cultivation, who would ever complain about having too many powerful techniques?
A single method might be enough for ordinary cultivators, but Xiao Feng had never intended to remain ordinary. The more foundations he possessed, the broader his path would become.
Through the information within, Xiao Feng quickly learned the name of this technique—
Soul Devouring Art!
The name alone revealed its nature.
It was an exceptionally powerful Soul Cultivation Method, one capable of rapidly strengthening the Soul by devouring the Soul origin of others. Its methods were domineering, overbearing, and undeniably sinister.
If placed in a world of immortal cultivation, it would undoubtedly be classified as a supreme demonic art.
Yet Xiao Feng merely smiled.
As a transmigrator, he had never been the type to blindly cling to rigid notions of righteousness and evil. In his view, techniques themselves were neither good nor evil; only the hearts of those who wielded them determined their nature.
A blade in the hands of a butcher slaughters innocents. In the hands of a guardian, it protects lives.
The same principle applied here.
Moreover, this was the Dou Qi Continent—a world where strength reigned supreme. Mercy without power was simply weakness.
And, conveniently enough, this world already possessed the perfect source of Soul nourishment.
The Hall of Souls.
As well as the Hun Clan behind it.
Those people spent countless years harvesting and imprisoning Soul bodies. Rather than allowing them to strengthen Hun Tiandi, why shouldn't those Souls instead become nourishment for his own rise?
One day, when his strength was sufficient along with his people , he would certainly pay the Hall of Souls a personal visit.
with that huge source it will be of great help to him , xiao yan , yao lao and xiao yi xian also.
Naturally, it would be under the noble banner of "liberating" those imprisoned Souls.
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Feng's face at the thought.
After studying the method more carefully, he also discovered that the Soul Devouring Art contained an accompanying Soul Dou Technique—
God-Slaying Needle!
By compressing Soul Power to an extreme degree, one could condense it into invisible Soul needles that directly pierced an opponent's Soul. Such attacks ignored physical defenses entirely, striking at the very core of a person's consciousness.
It was truly impossible to guard against.
With his current Late Mortal Realm Soul, a single God-Slaying Needle would be enough to heavily injure even an ordinary Dou Wang if used unexpectedly.
If he attacked with full force, even a peak Dou Wang—or a newly advanced Dou Huang—would suffer greatly.
Of course, such a terrifying technique came with a price.
Unlike Dou Qi, Soul Power was extraordinarily difficult to replenish. Each use of the God-Slaying Needle would consume a significant portion of his Soul Strength.
This meant it could not be used casually in prolonged battles. It was a true trump card—a killing move reserved for decisive moments.
Even so, its value was immeasurable.
Had he possessed such a method earlier, his encounter with that Rank 6 Magical Beast would have ended very differently. At the very least, he would not have been forced into such a miserable retreat.
After a long while, Xiao Feng finally managed to suppress the excitement surging within his heart. With utmost care, he stored the scroll away.
This single Soul Cultivation Method had already made this entire harvest worthwhile.
Finally, his gaze turned toward the two notebooks lying beside him.
Without hesitation, he picked up the first one and slowly opened it. Countless densely packed characters immediately entered his sight.
Xiao Feng began reading carefully.
In just a short while, he had finished going through the entire notebook.
"The owner of this storage ring really was an Alchemist..."
Xiao Feng muttered softly, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
This notebook recorded the life and experiences of the storage ring's original owner.
His name was Cang Yun.
He was not from the Black-Corner Region, nor even from the Northwestern Continent, but from the faraway Central Plains—the true heart of the Dou Qi Continent.
However, Cang Yun did not come from any great faction or ancient clan. He was merely born into a small family in Azure Mist City. The strongest expert in his family had only been at the Dou Wang level.
Such a family would have been considered powerful in the Northwestern Continent.
But in the Central Plains, a Dou Wang family was merely third-rate, insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
Fortunately, Cang Yun possessed excellent talent, particularly in alchemy. With the full support of his family, he steadily rose through the ranks and eventually became a Fifth-Rank Alchemist.
For an independent cultivator without the backing of a major faction, this achievement was already extraordinary.
Later, while traveling abroad, Cang Yun had stumbled upon an ancient map entirely by chance.
Following the clues on that map, he eventually discovered an ancient ruin hidden deep within a remote mountain range.
Within that ruin lay the Immortal Cave of a powerful Alchemist—
Profound Flame Venerable.
After overcoming countless trials and dangers, Cang Yun finally succeeded in obtaining Profound Flame Venerable's inheritance.
At this point, Xiao Feng's breathing became slightly hurried.
An inheritance left behind by an ancient Alchemist...
And judging by the treasures already found—the high-level spatial ring, the extraordinary Medicine Cauldron, the Soul Cultivation Method, and the numerous Earth Rank Techniques—
This Profound Flame Venerable was absolutely no ordinary expert.
His true legacy was likely still waiting within the second notebook.
==========
Among the treasures left behind were the complete alchemy inheritance of Profound Flame Venerable, his treasured medicine cauldron, and the mysterious scroll that contained the Soul Devouring Art.
According to the records, Profound Flame Venerable had been a peak Eighth-Rank Alchemist, one of the true giants of his era. Although the previous owner, Cang Yun, had inherited this legacy, his talent had ultimately limited him to the Sixth Rank.
The medicine cauldron Xiao Feng had obtained was the very cauldron left behind by Profound Flame Venerable. To honor its original master, Cang Yun had named it the Profound Flame Cauldron.
Though it was not ranked among the legendary Heavenly Cauldrons, it was unquestionably one of the finest cauldrons beneath that level—a priceless treasure that countless alchemists would covet.
As for the second notebook, it contained the complete alchemy legacy of Profound Flame Venerable.
When Xiao Feng finished reading it, even he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
A complete inheritance from a peak Eighth-Rank Alchemist—its value was simply immeasurable. It contained countless pill formulas, including many ancient recipes long lost to the world, as well as Profound Flame Venerable's lifetime insights into alchemy.
For Xiao Feng, although he has a Eighth-Rank Alchemist inheritance whats wrong with having one more with
as for now he has two Eighth-Rank Alchemist inheritance manuals , one seventh , three sixth grade manuals that he find and he make copies of them each at least three sets
he has kept one sixth grade one in his xiao family for every xiao family members to see.
With this inheritance, his future path in alchemy would become infinitely smoother.
After storing everything away, Xiao Feng finally looked up, unable to suppress the satisfaction on his face.
"The harvest this time has been extraordinary," he said with a smile.
Beside him, both Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian could sense his excitement.
The Twin-Winged Scarlet Qilin King, seeing Xiao Feng so pleased, immediately lowered its head respectfully.
"Being able to assist Master is my honor."
Xiao Feng nodded before suddenly asking, "You should know where the Earth Berserk Bear King's lair is, right?"
The beast quickly confirmed that it did.
Without delay, Xiao Feng, Zi Yan, and Xiao Yixian followed it to the bear king's territory. After a thorough search, they gathered a considerable number of precious medicinal herbs and rare materials.
Although there was nothing as shocking as Profound Flame Venerable's inheritance, the harvest was still abundant and well worth the trip.
By the time they returned, night had already fallen.
That evening, Xiao Feng personally prepared a grand feast using the Earth Berserk Bear King's massive bear paws. The rich aroma soon filled the entire cave.
Zi Yan, naturally, ate with great enthusiasm, while Xiao Yixian enjoyed the meal with a gentle smile. Even the Twin-Winged Scarlet Qilin King joined in, eating until it was thoroughly satisfied.
For a brief moment, the cave was filled not with danger or cultivation, but with warmth, laughter, and the simple joy of sharing a meal together.
After the feast, Xiao Feng, Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian, and even the little Qilin cub climbed onto the broad back of the Twin-Winged Scarlet Qilin King.
With a gentle pat on its neck, Xiao Feng pointed out the direction. The great beast nodded obediently before spreading its enormous wings and soaring into the night sky.
The wind howled past them as they flew across the mountain range. After some time, they finally arrived at the place where Xiao Feng had previously instructed the magical beasts to wait.
As soon as the Twin-Winged Scarlet Qilin King landed, the entire area fell into complete silence.
All the magical beasts stared with wide eyes, their bodies trembling visibly. Some even lowered their heads instinctively, not daring to meet its gaze.
Xiao Feng was momentarily puzzled, but he quickly understood.
After all, the Twin-Winged Scarlet Qilin King was the only genuine Tier 6 Magical Beast in this entire region. To these lower-tier beasts, its bloodline pressure and aura were overwhelming. Their fear was only natural.
With a loud clap, Xiao Feng drew everyone's attention.
"I have gathered you all here for an important reason," he said calmly.
Instantly, every magical beast focused on him.
"I am preparing to refine a medicinal pill similar to the Transformation Pill."
The moment those words left his mouth, the entire gathering erupted into chaos. Every beast looked at him with disbelief, followed by uncontrollable excitement.
Xiao Feng raised a hand, signaling for silence, before continuing.
"This pill will be called the Bloodline Transformation Pill. Using the power of the Blood Origin Fruit, combined with a Transformation Grass, I can help enhance your bloodlines while also allowing you to assume human form."
He paused briefly before adding,
"During the refinement process, I will use my Heavenly Flame to burn away impurities within your bodies. The process will be extremely painful—far more painful than ordinary tempering—but the rewards will be immense."
"Not only will your bloodlines become purer and stronger, but your future cultivation potential will also increase significantly."
The beasts listened with burning anticipation.
What shocked them even more was Xiao Feng's next statement.
"One Transformation Grass can be used to assist four magical beasts."
The crowd immediately exploded.
In the past, countless magical beasts would fight to the death over a single Transformation Grass. Yet now, Xiao Feng could use one to benefit four beasts at once.
And fortunately, among the treasures he had recently acquired, he had found another Transformation Grass—perfect for immediate use.
Although a few beasts showed hesitation upon hearing about the painful process, the vast majority were eager beyond measure.
After all, the opportunity to transform and strengthen their bloodlines was simply too precious to ignore.
Soon, Xiao Feng announced the first batch of candidates.
They were:
The Twin-Winged Scarlet Qilin King
The Snow-White Demon Ape
The Emerald Wood Spirit Turtle
The Golden Horned Earth Python
These four possessed the strongest foundations among the gathered beasts, making them the ideal first test subjects.
Without delay, Xiao Feng began refining the necessary medicinal pills.
This time, the process was much faster than usual. The pills themselves did not need to be perfect in the traditional sense; their main role was to serve as catalysts. After the beasts' bodies were tempered and purified by the Heavenly Flame, the medicinal power would guide their transformation and maximize the chances of success.
To further strengthen their physiques, Xiao Feng also gave each of them a single drop of diluted Earth Core Body Tempering Milk.
Even diluted, the milk contained astonishing energy. For magical beasts, it was a priceless treasure capable of greatly enhancing their physical bodies.
Once everything was prepared, Xiao Feng set up a massive Qi Gathering Array around the area.
The surrounding immediately began to surge toward the formation, creating a dense sea of Dou Qi.
This would ensure that the four magical beasts had more than enough energy to sustain their transformation and bloodline evolution.
As the array hummed to life and the Heavenly Flame flickered in Xiao Feng's palm, the gathered magical beasts held their breath.
A transformation unlike anything this mountain range had ever seen was about to begin.
