**

Once a cultivator reaches the Dou Wang realm, they no longer rely solely on their own Dou Qi to fight as they did before.

At this stage, their Dou Qi can start resonating with the vast, nearly infinite energy of the world around them, allowing them to draw upon it and make it their own.

The power and sustainability of their strength far surpass that of previous realms.

Moreover, only at this level can they unleash the full potential of Earth Class Dou Techniques!

After all, a key feature of Earth Class and higher Dou Techniques is their ability to harness the energy of the heavens and earth, enabling them to unleash a power even greater than the user's own!

Before reaching Dou Wang, using Earth Class Dou Techniques is still possible, as the technique itself can absorb the world's Dou Qi.

However, the user is entirely dependent on the technique for absorption, unable to assist in the process.

A Dou Wang, on the other hand, can absorb Dou Qi from the world together with their technique, making the process far more efficient and powerful.

After advancing to Dou Wang, Lin Feng scanned his body with his spiritual sense.

Compared to before, his originally narrow ridians now resembled spacious, crystalline channels, faintly glowing from within.

Although he remained still, he could clearly sense the vast improvent in the toughness and capacity of his ridians—an extraordinary transformation!

However, the dark-red vortex in his abdon had begun to slow down drastically.

Monts later, it completely stopped spinning.

"Boom!"

The instant it halted, under Lin Feng's focused attention, the dark-red dot suddenly exploded.

With a muffled sound, the last remaining dicinal power within it rapidly surged into Lin Feng's ridians.

Fortunately, thanks to his recent breakthrough, his enhanced physique prevented any pain or discomfort from the surging energy.

Still, the residual dicinal power from the Seventh-Tier Pill was incredibly vast. Even though only a small portion remained, combined with the lingering energy from his shattered Dou Crystal, it was enough to completely fill his ridians.

Seeing this, Lin Feng exhaled lightly and activated his cultivation thod, beginning to refine the excess energy.

This process continued for an entire night.

The next morning, Lin Feng finally opened his eyes after keeping them shut for a full day and night.

Clenching his fists, he couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

To his surprise, the last remnants of energy had pushed his cultivation level to the peak of One-Star Dou Wang!

With a re thought, his powerful Dou Qi surged like a great flood, rushing through his body and circulating within his crystalline ridians.

As the energy flowed, his ridians swelled and contracted like a well-constructed dam being filled with water, producing a silent yet exhilarating sensation.

"So this is the power of a Dou Wang… As expected, the ability to directly absorb Dou Qi from the world is on an entirely different level compared to Da Dou Shi and Dou Ling. No wonder Dou Wang is considered such a crucial turning point in cultivation!"

Feeling the imnse power within him, Lin Feng murmured softly.

However, amidst this strength, he could also sense an underlying instability.

He knew this was the side effect of his rapid advancent—if left unchecked, it would severely hinder his future progress.

But despite the risk, Lin Feng had no regrets.

As an unaffiliated cultivator without any background, he had no choice but to take such risks to carve out a future for himself.

After all, while unstable Dou Qi was troubleso, there were ways to fix it.

If he had cultivated at a normal pace, given his talent, he would likely have been stuck at the high ranks of Dou Zong at best.

If he was lucky, he might have had a slim chance of advancing to Dou Zun.

But from the mont he laid eyes on the Life Devouring Pill, a bold plan had ford in his mind.

It was a plan that might cost him everything—including his life.

But it was also a plan that could make him one of the strongest experts on the continent.

Lost in thought for a long while, Lin Feng eventually shook his head, suppressing those ideas for now. Closing his eyes again, he started circulating his Dou Qi.

Soon, his Dou Qi surged along an unusual ridian route, and the next instant—

"Boom!"

Scarlet fla wings suddenly erupted from his back.

The wings spanned over a ter wide, resembling the majestic wings of a phoenix—radiant and breathtaking.

"Dou Qi Manifested Wings… This was sothing I always dread of achieving."

Tilting his head slightly, he gazed at the fiery wings extending from his back, montarily dazed.

At this mont, he wasn't using any flying Dou Techniques—this was purely his own power manifesting Dou Qi wings!

Snapping out of his daze, Lin Feng activated his now significantly stronger soul perception to scan his body.

To his dismay, his body was no longer as vigorous as before.

Instead, it resembled a sunset on the verge of fading into darkness.

"Looks like I have to get my hands on that Longevity King Pulp…"

Sighing softly, he wasn't surprised by his body's condition—he had ntally prepared himself for this.

If things beca too dire, he could use one of his limited opportunities to request dusa's assistance in obtaining the Longevity King Pulp.

With this thought, Lin Feng glanced at the small creature still snoring in the distant grass.

Raising his hand slightly, a wisp of Dou Qi shot forward, gently wrapping around the little creature and pulling it into his arms.

After securing it, he retrieved a dicinal cauldron.

As Dou Qi grows stronger, it also enhances one's soul power.

Now, he wanted to test just how far his alchemy skills had improved.

With a single thought, powerful waves of Dou Qi erupted from within him, instantly summoning his violet flas.

Then, placing one hand on the cauldron—

"Boom!"

With a deep, muffled roar, violet flas instantly engulfed the entire cauldron.

Seeing that the flas were too intense, Lin Feng quickly reduced the output of his Dou Qi.

A few minutes later, he gradually adapted to the unfamiliar sensation of increased Dou Qi. Then, he took out the recipe for the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill that he had obtained from the Snake-People Clan.

After reading through the contents, he started searching his storage ring and found that he had enough ingredients to refine about ten portions.

With all the necessary materials gathered, Lin Feng carefully recalled Ao Tuo's failed attempts at refining this pill, as well as the key points ntioned in the notes.

After a brief mont of contemplation, he began the refinent process.

Casually tossing an herb into the cauldron, he controlled the Purple Fla to extract its essence.

Thanks to the enhancent of both his Dou Qi and soul power, his extraction speed was now several tis faster than before.

In just a short ti, all the dicinal ingredients had been refined.

However, Lin Feng considered the high failure rate of refining pills at this level, especially on his first attempt.

Only after extracting ten portions of ingredients did he begin the fusion and pill condensation process.

"Boom!"

With a muffled explosion, the third batch of materials failed to condense into a pill and was forcefully expelled by a special chanism in the cauldron.

Seeing this, Lin Feng let out a small sigh, then resud placing the refined dicinal essences into the cauldron for another attempt.

Half an hour later, Lin Feng's palm struck the cauldron, and its originally still lid suddenly shot into the air.

At the sa ti, a massive surge of purple flas erupted from within the cauldron, spreading in all directions.

At the center of the flas, a streak of purple light shot out.

In an instant, it forced back the surrounding flas.

As the light erged, a rich and fragrant purple dicinal scent gradually rose into the air.

Finally, like a sentient mist, it gathered above Lin Feng's head, forming a cloud of purple mist.

Seeing the dense, colored dicinal fragrance, Lin Feng's lips curled into a slight smile. With a flick of his palm, the source of the fragrance—a purple pill—swiftly flew toward him.

Catching it in his hand, he gazed at the pill that had taken five failed attempts before finally succeeding. This was a peak fourth-grade pill—the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill.

Lin Feng hadn't expected that the increase in his Dou Qi would have such a significant impact. With a hint of joy on his face, he murmured, "If I can refine the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, then maybe I can try refining a fifth-tier pill next."

Thinking of the large number of high-grade dicinal ingredients in his possession, he decided to stay in the valley for now instead of returning to Black Emperor City.

After all, he had everything he needed to refine pills here. Rather than heading back to that chaotic place, it was better to focus on alchemy in this peaceful valley.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Lin Feng was lost in thought, a petite black shadow with wings suddenly appeared at the side and shot toward him at high speed.

"Trying to snatch my pill?"

Realizing that soone had managed to sneak up on him unnoticed, Lin Feng broke into a cold sweat. He imdiately recalled the Dou Ling expert from before.

"Could it be that soone from the sa faction as that Dou Ling has found ?"

This thought flashed through his mind.

However, his hands did not slow down. Without hesitation, he executed Crimson Mountain Shattering Fist and struck toward the dark figure.

"Boom!"

As the crimson and deep purple Dou Qi collided, a powerful shockwave exploded outward, sweeping across the surroundings.

The once scenic and peaceful valley was instantly left in ruins.

"Such powerful force!"

Upon impact, Lin Feng felt a trendous force surge through his arm, causing him to stagger and slide backward for dozens of ters.

However, he had also successfully repelled the opponent and stopped their actions.

"Oh? You actually managed to detect ?"

The attacker, realizing that they had failed to snatch Lin Feng's pill, showed a hint of surprise.

At this mont, Lin Feng stabilized his footing and looked up at the figure floating in mid-air.

To his astonishnt, the one who had ambushed him was just a petite girl in white, barely reaching his waist.

The girl appeared to be only twelve or thirteen years old, with long, light purple hair cascading down her back. Her fair, delicate face resembled a finely sculpted jade doll, making her incredibly adorable.

Her large, watery purple eyes were fixated on the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill in Lin Feng's hand.

Seeing his attacker clearly, Lin Feng exclaid in shock, "A twelve or thirteen-year-old Dou Wang?!"

The mont he spoke, a thought suddenly struck him.

A girl... twelve or thirteen years old... purple hair...

"Wait a minute... this little girl—could she be Zi Yan?!"

Sweeping his gaze up and down the girl's figure, Lin Feng felt a wave of astonishnt surge in his heart.

He hadn't expected that refining a single pill would actually attract this little troublemaker.

Zi Yan, on the other hand, was staring at Lin Feng with an unfriendly look.

She had originally been lurking in a nearby forest, preparing to snatch an herb guarded by a Rank 5 magic beast.

Just as she was about to make her move, an irresistible dicinal fragrance suddenly drifted over from this valley. Unable to resist the temptation, she abandoned her original target and ca running to rob the source.

However, she hadn't expected to be noticed by Lin Feng.

Still, recalling her own strength, she quickly put on an arrogant front and spoke in her youthful voice,

"Hey, you're no match for . Hand over that pill, and I won't beat you up. How about it?"
