The old apothecary immediately took over the conversation and explained to Lin Qing, "Yes, the Burning Technique is..."
Lin Qing pretended not to know and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? There is such a miraculous technique."
"But Xiao Yanzi, you don't need to worry too much. I only need ten different flames, and I've already obtained four."
"Uh... Master, although there are twenty-three kinds of strange fires on the Strange Fire Ranking, not all of them have been revealed to the world..." Xiao Yan said tactfully.
Lin Qing said nonchalantly, "What's the rush? Take your time looking. I believe you can do it. Besides, I already know where the other six strange flames are."
"Traces of six strange flames?" Even the usually composed Yao Lao was shocked.
“That’s right, they are the five different flames possessed by the Flame Clan and the Void Devouring Flame of the Soul Clan,” Lin Qing said calmly.
"As expected of a Dou Di powerhouse, he actually has designs on the Soul Clan and the Flame Clan." Yao Lao felt immense admiration.
"Master, well, since you have so many, just give me one, and then you can go find more. You're so strong anyway," Xiao Yan said with a grin.
"You have a good idea. Although I am strong, I can't watch over you forever. I will leave after I collect ten different flames."
"After I leave, your backer will be gone, so you'll have to rely on yourself for everything. Otherwise, how will you become a Dou Di?" Lin Qing said slowly.
"Ah, Master, are you leaving?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan forgot all about the strange fire and said anxiously.
Lin Qing gazed at the sky and said meaningfully, "That's right. In a few months to a year, I will leave the Dou Qi Continent. After all, I need to find my way back."
Xiao Yan asked somewhat uncertainly, "I heard from my teacher that no Dou Di has appeared on the Dou Qi Continent for thousands of years. Can I become a Dou Di?"
"Yes, definitely. Here, take this. When you become a Dou Sheng, open this, and you'll find the method to become an Emperor." Lin Qing tossed a brocade pouch to Xiao Yan.
"I have sealed this brocade pouch. It can only be opened when you reach the level of a Dou Sheng."
"Yes, Master." Xiao Yan immediately put away the brocade pouch with a bright smile.
Lin Qing stretched out his hand and said, "By the way, give me your storage ring."
"Oh, here you go." Although Xiao Yan was puzzled, he still obediently placed the storage ring in Lin Qing's hand.
Immediately, Lin Qing put the storage ring into the space of his Sleeve Universe Technique.
After a while, Lin Qing returned the storage ring to Xiao Yan and said, "Alright, the 20,000 catties of Immortal Cloud Tea and 50,000 catties of Spirit Water have been packed in."
Before Xiao Yan could react, Yao Lao excitedly thanked him, "Thank you, senior."
Lin Qing quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Alright, let's just stay here for the day. Tomorrow you can go do whatever you need to do, and then I have to head to Zhongzhou."
"Okay, Master, I'm going swimming now." Xiao Yan grinned, took a spirit melon, and jumped into the swimming pool.
...
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, Lin Qing, Xiao Yan, and Yao Lao stood in front of the villa.
"Why are there so many small animals around the villa?" Lin Qing looked around at the large number of poisonous insects and small animals and was very puzzled.
"Master is so silly. The area around the villa is also protected by an array, maintaining a suitable temperature. Of course, these little animals would gather there!" Xiao Yan chuckled.
"Of course I know. Get lost, I'm going to Zhongzhou too." Lin Qing waved his hand to put the villa away, then gave some instructions before teleporting away.
"Alright, stop looking, we're leaving now." Yao Lao's soul returned directly to Xiao Yan's body.
"Yes, let's go. I will strive to become stronger, and then travel to the Great Thousand World to find Earth with my master." Xiao Yan made up his mind.
At this moment, a ray of spiritual light entered Xiao Yan's body, unnoticed by both Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.
This spiritual light can last for a hundred years, and it contains a clone of Lin Qing, roughly equivalent to the combat power of an early-stage Celestial Immortal.
This clone can attack three times. Each time it attacks, it will reduce its existence time by twenty years. This is to prevent Xiao Yan from encountering any accidents.
Chapter 474 Yan Clan (Please subscribe, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend!)
"As expected, the Yan Clan also possesses a small space." Lin Qing stood on the edge of a high mountain cliff in Zhongzhou.
Looking down at the vast expanse of white, it was incredibly magnificent; it truly was a bottomless abyss.
Just 500 meters below this cliff, there is a spatial entrance, which is Lin Qing's destination: the Yan Clan.
Now that they had found the Flame Realm, where the Flame Clan was located, there was no need to dawdle any longer. They directly used their spiritual power to forcibly open the spatial entrance to the Flame Realm.
Inside the Flame Realm, the Flame Clan is holding a meeting, with virtually all of them present.
In recent years, Yan Jin, the patriarch of the Yan Clan, noticed something amiss from some of the abnormal actions of the Soul Clan and felt that something big might be about to happen.
They then summoned all the clansmen who were away and brought them back to the meeting.
Yan Jin sat in the main seat of the conference hall, with several elders of the Yan clan sitting to his left. These elders were basically his uncles and brothers.
On the right sat some young talents of the Yan Clan, who also held some prestige within the clan.
"Everyone's here, let's begin. Recently, I discovered... um? — the spatial entrance has been forcibly opened." Yan Jin suddenly frowned.
"Someone has invaded! Good, good, good! I'll see who dares to invade my Yan Clan." Yan Jin flicked his sleeve and transformed into a streak of light, flying away.
The others immediately followed suit. Intruders! It had been so many years since we'd encountered one, no, it should be said that it had never happened before.
Even though he was still hundreds of meters away from the entrance, Lin Qing stepped across it and entered the space entrance in one stride.
Upon entering, the once vast expanse of white clouds vanished without a trace in an instant.
Feel this vast space, with mountains and rivers, magical beasts, ferocious beasts, exotic flowers and plants, and even sunlight.
Even though a sneeze could shatter this space, Lin Qing was still secretly amazed.
"This is truly a wonderful place," Lin Qing remarked with some emotion.
"Thank you for the compliment, but since you came uninvited, you should give me an explanation, otherwise... you can stay here today!" Yan Jinfei looked at Lin Qing coldly from high in the sky.
"Where did this guy come from, daring to trespass on my Yan Clan's territory? He's courting death." Those people who were in the hall earlier also arrived here.
They were all flying in mid-air, looking down at the intruder, Lin Qing.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the Yan Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, they have a total of seven Dou Sheng (Battle Saints)." Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Hmm? Who are you?" Yan Jin was immediately startled.
On the surface, their Yan Clan only had five Dou Sheng, but this person revealed their true strength as soon as he arrived, how could he not be alarmed?
"What else is there to say? Just take this guy down." Huo Xuan said calmly.
“That’s right, our Yan Clan only has five Dou Sheng, where did this seven come from? They’re just bragging without thinking.” A young talent said.
Those who knew the truth changed their expressions slightly, while those who didn't looked at Lin Qing with disdain.
Lin Qing chuckled and said, "Hehe, my name is Lin Qing. I have come here today with a matter I hope Chief Yan will not refuse."
Unable to discern Lin Qing's true intentions for the moment, Yan Jin pondered and asked, "What is it?"
Although he did not take immediate action, he still managed to contact all the Dou Sheng within his clan using a special method.
Including Yan Jin, there are already three Dou Sheng present, and four more are expected to arrive quickly.
Lin Qing said calmly, "I heard that your Yan Clan possesses five different flames. I have come here for these flames, and I hope that your Yan Clan can bestow these five flames upon me."
"How dare you! Where did this brat come from, daring to speak so arrogantly in my Yan Clan?" Before the person even arrived, the voice, imbued with powerful battle aura, had already assaulted Lin Qing.
The power within this sonic attack did not leak out at all; the others only felt that the sound was louder and were not harmed at all.
Lin Qing, however, took the brunt of the attack. This sonic attack was an attack from a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint).
Lin Qing didn't argue. She stuck her little finger into her ear and then said, "Why are you making such a loud noise when you're going to talk?"
“No wonder I said you dared to come to my Flame Realm alone, it turns out you’re quite the expert.” A long-bearded old man appeared beside Yan Jin.
"Ah, it's Grandpa Huo! I heard that Grandpa Huo is going to try to become a Nine-Star Dou Sheng this year!" a junior exclaimed.
Before long, one after another, the Battle Saints appeared, but there were still two Battle Saints who had never appeared before, staying in the shadows, waiting for their chance to make a move.
"Tsk tsk tsk, all seven Dou Sheng have actually come out. Why are the other two hiding in the shadows? Are they unable to stand the light of day?" Lin Qing said with a smile, showing no sign of nervousness.
"Haha, kid, you're really something, managing to spot them." Yan Jin clapped his hands and said, "Come out!"
"Clan leader!" Suddenly, two figures appeared behind Yan Jin. These two were also Dou Sheng experts, although they were only one-star.
The other four Dou Sheng were not surprised at all, clearly already aware of the two's existence.
Several others remained calm and composed. Although they were relatively weak, they had already come into contact with the secrets of the Yan Clan.
"Not bad, seven Dou Sheng, that's fairly standard. There are also owners of four different flames. The Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame is still unclaimed, tsk tsk tsk..." Lin Qing said to himself.
"Boy, it seems you're still dreaming. Today, I'll give you a good beating." Huo Nu was a peak eight-star Dou Sheng, the strongest being in the Yan Clan.
"I don't like people looking down on me. And you think you can mess with me?"
Lin Qing, who had been all smiles, suddenly changed his expression, and then an extremely powerful aura surged out.
This momentum instantly swept across the entire Flame Realm, and with a "thump!", all the Flame Clan members flying in the sky instantly fell to the ground.
"This aura... a Dou Di?" The group of people were all lying on the ground, unable to move.
Yan Jin turned his neck with difficulty, his eyes fixed on Lin Qing, staring at Lin Qing with fear in them.
"You guessed right, I am a Dou Di. However, it's a pity there's no reward." Lin Qing slowly walked over and stood in front of them, saying this.
"Battle Emperor? How is that possible? Didn't the Battle Emperors disappear? Weren't they no longer able to advance to Battle Emperor?" Huo Nu was both terrified and incredulous.
Of those present, only the Dou Sheng could barely speak; as for the others, they could barely open their eyes, let alone speak.
"No matter the reason, I am the Dou Di. Alright, let's get down to business!" Lin Qing said softly.
Chapter 475 Five Flames of the Three Flavors (Please subscribe, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend!)
"Five different flames? I'll accept them without hesitation." After saying that, Lin Qing made his move.
Just like peeling away the Sea Heart Flame, they extracted the strange flames they had refined one by one.
"Um, System, the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Fire and the Volcanic Stone Flame have been fused into one by Yan Jin. Does that count as one or two different flames?" Lin Qing asked, looking at the three flames in front of him.
Don't worry, when this system reclaims the different types of flames, it will automatically separate the fused flames, so it counts as two types.
"That puts my mind at ease." Lin Qing didn't want to go looking anymore; it felt like a waste of time.
