"Sigh… Even if I can't get the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva this time, obtaining that ancient prescription would still be some consolation."

Lin Feng sighed inwardly, trying to comfort himself.

"Whoosh~"

Just as he was lost in thought, a faint sound suddenly reached his ears.

Lin Feng turned toward the noise, and upon seeing who had arrived, joy immediately flashed through his heart.

A faint smile rose to his face as he chuckled softly, "Sect Master Mo, I've been waiting a long time. I wonder—what have you brought this time to trade for the Life Devouring Pill?"

Hearing this, Mo Tianxing said nothing. Instead, he stared at the blood-red pill in Queen Medusa's hand beside Lin Feng.

A few moments later, he stopped hesitating and took out a crystal box from his storage ring.

The moment the box appeared, Lin Feng saw a faint, mysterious glow swirling inside.

Within that glow floated a fist-sized lump of peculiar, greenish, viscous liquid. It pulsed and undulated slowly like some kind of soft-bodied creature.

As it squirmed, layers of liquid rippled through its body, making it look almost alive.

The greenish, sticky liquid hovered midair inside the box without any support whatsoever.

Moreover, it seemed to possess a form of intelligence, drifting about within the box as a mystical radiance permeated its surface—appearing especially magical.

"This is… Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva!"

Staring at the greenish, floating viscous liquid, Lin Feng blurted out instinctively.

"Pavilion Master Lin has sharp eyes. That's correct—this is the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.

If consumed, it can completely remold one's body, improving certain abnormal constitutions. If it weren't for the Black Emperor Sect's urgent need for this pill, I would never consider trading this item."

Mo Tianxing paused momentarily, surprised that Lin Feng had recognized it, then explained with a smile.

As he spoke, he subtly attempted to elevate the value of the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.

Although the true value of the saliva far exceeded Mo Tianxing's explanation—very few people in the entire Black-Corner Region truly understood its worth.

To most, its only known effect was improving one's physique.

So its value was, in fact, severely underestimated.

However, when it came to the decision of whether to trade this item for the Life Devouring Pill, Mo Tianxing had indeed hesitated for a long time.

Ultimately, it came down to one thing: the choice of successor.

After all, with the current resources of the Black Emperor Sect, they could only afford to cultivate one potential Dou Zong.

If they obtained this peak seventh-tier pill, they absolutely could not afford to waste it.

Which meant—the Black Emperor Sect would have to pour all of its resources into nurturing whoever consumed this pill.

Faced with the treasure he had been longing for, Lin Feng didn't immediately accept the offer.

He merely nodded slightly and said softly, "Since Sect Master Mo has already presented his trade item, please return to your seat for now. I'll discuss with my wife and announce the final decision shortly."

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianxing also nodded, then stored away the crystal box and turned to leave.

"Hmph!"

As soon as Mo Tianxing vanished beyond the light screen, Queen Medusa let out a cold snort.

That bastard clearly just wanted to help that Xiao Yixian from Qingshan Town get the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, yet he still had the nerve to say he was 'discussing it' with her?

Seeing this, Lin Feng gently soothed her emotions before stepping out of the glowing barrier himself.

That talk about "discussing" things just now had merely been an excuse—he didn't want Mo Tianxing to sense anything unusual.

As for the outcome—did it even need to be said?

In the auction hall, the moment Lin Feng stepped out, everyone's gazes instantly locked onto him.

"Ahem… After discussion, the final recipient of the Life Devouring Pill is… Private Room Number Five!"

Upon hearing the result, the other major factions in the hall frowned and turned their attention toward Mo Tianxing's side.

"What did that guy offer that could possibly be more valuable than my seventh-tier pill prescription?"

Hearing this result, Elder Ying Shan furrowed his brows deeply and muttered to himself.

Back when he had been stuck at the peak of the Dou Huang stage and couldn't break through for a long time, he decided to venture out and travel the world.

Unexpectedly, luck smiled upon him—he stumbled upon the cave dwelling of an ancient seventh-tier alchemist.

Inside, not only did he obtain numerous alchemical materials and relics…

He also found a peculiar cultivation method that could create a soul clone—and a unique secret technique specifically used to enhance soul power.

According to what was recorded in that scroll, it seemed to be called a Soul Technique!

But what he regretted most was that, back then, he had no idea what a soul technique even was, and so he never dared to try it.

After all, though he didn't understand much about the soul, he knew one thing very well—if your soul is damaged… you're basically finished.

So in the years that followed, he simply ignored the soul technique scroll.

Instead, he went into hiding, focused on cultivating the strange soul-dividing method, and quietly absorbed its contents.

It wasn't until a few years ago, when he hired a famous seventh-tier alchemist from the Northwestern Region to refine a Life Returning Pill, that things changed.

During casual conversation, that alchemist offhandedly remarked, "If only I had a soul technique that could boost soul power… maybe, just maybe, I'd still have a shot at becoming an eighth-tier alchemist in this lifetime."

Only then did Elder Ying Shan suddenly recall—he actually had such a soul technique!

After some careful probing and subtle inquiries, he finally realized just how incredibly valuable soul techniques really were.

Once he left that alchemist, he immediately began cultivating the soul technique.

Although it was only a High Grade Yellow Class soul technique, it caused his soul power to skyrocket in just a few short years.

As for the ancient pill recipe he tried to use in trade with Lin Feng, it was also something he had retrieved from that very cave dwelling.

Its value possibly even surpassed the Life Devouring Pill.

That was why he truly couldn't understand—why would Lin Feng choose Mo Tianxing instead?

And just what was going on with the Black Emperor Sect today?

They were sweeping the entire auction, almost monopolizing all of the top-tier items!

The gazes directed toward Mo Tianxing from other factions were now laced with killing intent.

After the auction ended, that man wouldn't just walk away with the Life Devouring Pill, but also the Zong Breaking Pill from earlier. It made others green with envy.

But Lin Feng?

He didn't care about any of that. As long as the transaction was legitimate, he would handle it properly.

As for what happened afterward—heh, what did that have to do with him?

At that moment, Xiao Yan also glanced in the direction of Private Room Number Five with slight surprise.

However, unlike the others, he didn't have any thoughts of robbery or ambush.

After all, those two pills weren't urgently needed by him.

What he cared about most was the final item in this auction—a piece of information related to a Heavenly Flame.

"Hehe, since the Life Devouring Pill has been auctioned off, next comes the final item of today's event."

Lin Feng swept his gaze across the crowd and smiled as he announced.

Whoosh~

As soon as he spoke, the entire auction hall's attention locked onto him.

Especially Xiao Yan—after watching as a mere spectator for so long, the item he cared about most was finally here.

His fiery gaze looked like it was about to eat Lin Feng alive.

Feeling the many gazes, Lin Feng's expression remained calm as he continued, "The final piece of Heavenly Flame-related information is quite special.

Without at least the strength of a sixth-tier alchemist, you likely won't be able to acquire it. So I'll say this in advance—its value exceeds that of the Life Devouring Pill. If you don't meet the qualifications, it's best not to waste your resources trying to trade."

"If you're interested, bring your items and come speak to me inside the light screen."

With that, Lin Feng turned and stepped directly into the glowing barrier.
