Judging from the scene, the magic core inside had already been taken.
However, this magic beast corpse was different from the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix mummified remains Lin Feng had obtained before.
This corpse was extremely well preserved!
The appearance of the magic beast's body didn't look dried up or shriveled at all.
Presumably, the blood essence within this magic beast was also completely intact.
"Now this… this is a good thing."
Seeing this freshly preserved magic beast corpse, Lin Feng stroked his chin.
"I didn't expect that old bastard to have something like this on him."
Staring at the massive coiled corpse, both Xiao Yixian and Queen Medusa had a deep look of surprise in their eyes as they sighed with amazement.
This kind of magic beast, even in the area around the Black-Corner Region, was extremely rare.
Moreover, a beast of this caliber was surely a local overlord.
It would naturally have many Rank 5, even Rank 6 subordinates.
To kill such a beast would be no easier than wiping out a powerful force guarded by a Dou Zong.
And judging by the pressure that lingered after its death—
This magic beast, when it was alive, had at least reached mid-level Dou Zong!
Lin Feng examined the magic beast's corpse for a while, then stretched out a finger and lightly flicked the snow-white storage ring.
"Lin Feng, what is it now?"
The slumbering Tian Huo Zun Zhe sensed the tap on the ring and instantly drifted out, asking with curiosity.
"Hey, your favorite."
Lin Feng tilted his head toward the location of the magic beast's corpse and chuckled.
Hearing this, Tian Huo Zun Zhe turned his illusory head with confusion and stared at the massive coiled corpse, momentarily dazed.
But once he sensed the remaining aura on it, he suddenly shouted in excitement, "This is… a Rank 7 magic beast!"
His gaze swept carefully over the corpse, and his expression became full of joy.
His illusory figure floated to the side of the enormous body and gently stroked its fiery-red scales.
Muttering, he said, "Although this magic beast had only the strength of a Four-Star Dou Zong in life, the blood essence is incredibly well preserved. It should be more than enough to assist in reviving me…"
At the thought of resurrection, Tian Huo Zun Zhe's ghostly form trembled slightly, his emotions visibly stirred.
Turning to the green-robed young man standing not far behind, he laughed heartily, "Kid, your luck is really something else. You wiped out a faction and ended up with a beast corpse of this level— and so perfectly preserved, too."
The key materials he needed for resurrection were now mostly gathered.
Because he didn't dare use that Ghostly Poison Flame from Xiao Yixian...
They would still need to gather—or borrow—another Heavenly Flame.
Then, once Lin Feng's alchemy skills had risen high enough, he could help refine the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill.
At that point, Tian Huo Zun Zhe would regain a physical body and no longer remain in his current phantom-like soul state.
Lin Feng didn't respond to Tian Huo Zun Zhe's words. He simply curled his lips into a faint smile.
He had actually been puzzled earlier—when he was auctioning off the Zong Breaking Pill, why didn't Fang Yan and the others use the blood essence from this beast to trade with him?
But after seeing the beast's preserved state, he understood.
That old bastard Old Ground Demon Ghost was likely planning to use this corpse to refine a Sky Demon Puppet.
Only, perhaps he couldn't find a sufficiently powerful soul, so he never succeeded in making one.
After all, the Life Transforming Flame those people used wasn't weak at all.
It would've been more than sufficient to refine a puppet at the Dou Zong level.
"Elder Yao, I'll leave this thing to you."
After a while, Lin Feng came back to his senses and waved his hand.
Then, turning to the three girls—two older, one younger—behind him, he said, "Let's go."
With that, Lin Feng continued walking deeper into the treasure vault.
Tian Huo Zun Zhe, seeing this, quickly grabbed the extremely long serpent-like magic beast corpse.
Then, turning into a wisp of smoke, he slipped into the snow-white storage ring.
Since that corpse had already been placed in the latter half of the treasure vault, the group had unknowingly reached the very end of the vault.
Here, unlike the front sections, there were no piles of treasures.
In this vast and empty area, there was only a single bookshelf, standing there all alone.
And on that bookshelf, there were only four ancient wooden boxes.
However, this bookshelf wasn't unprotected like the others had been.
Around it was a faint, glowing barrier of light.
Moreover, from the rich energy faintly emanating from the barrier—
Even with Heavenly Flames, it would be extremely difficult to open.
Not to mention, forcing it open might even destroy the items inside along with it.
"Lin Feng, the items in here won't be easy to retrieve,"
Xiao Yixian stepped forward and frowned at the powerful energy barrier in front of her.
Her fair and delicate fingers tapped lightly against the shield, and a trace of solemnity emerged on her pretty face.
"It's fine. We still have a trump card."
Lin Feng's gaze swept over the bookshelf and landed on the words "Earth Class," then he smiled confidently.
He then turned his head toward the little female dragon and pointed at the light barrier, saying, "Zi Yan, you're up!"
"Awuu!"
Hearing that, Zi Yan let out a howl, and her body shot out like a cannonball, heading straight toward the bookshelf.
As she flew up to the bookshelf, her small hand directly reached toward the barrier—
And to Xiao Yixian's astonished gaze, it passed through the spatial light barrier without any resistance.
Zi Yan easily retrieved the four wooden boxes inside one by one and tossed them toward Lin Feng.
Watching the scene, Medusa speechlessly covered her enchanting face with her hand.
"These two… are beyond saving."
"Didn't think this brat was useful for anything besides that sharp tongue,"
Since Xiao Yixian had never seen Zi Yan use this ability before, she was a bit surprised now.
"Hey! What do you mean useful for anything besides my sharp tongue?! Granny here is full of use!"
Hearing Xiao Yixian's comment, Zi Yan immediately got mad and angrily threw the last wooden box over.
"…"
Hearing the two women start bickering again, Lin Feng could only shake his head helplessly.
Xiao Yixian usually wasn't a talkative person, but ever since she was mocked by Zi Yan last time—
As long as the two were together for any amount of time, they'd start arguing.
Still, Lin Feng was already used to it.
As long as they didn't start fighting, he really couldn't be bothered to stop them.
Then, his eyes turned toward the four slightly aged wooden boxes now in his hand.
Opening the topmost box, he found inside two silver scrolls.
The material used to make these scrolls was quite unique, looking almost like some kind of crystal formation.
On their surface, tiny arcs of electricity danced around like silver snakes.
"This should be that Mid-Grade Earth Class lightning attribute cultivation dou technique… a pity, I'm not lightning-type. Useless to me."
Thinking this to himself, Lin Feng casually closed the box and stored it into his storage ring.
