"Master Lin, please rest inside one of the nearby houses for now. With all that commotion just now, it's certain to attract the probing of some Dou Zun experts. I'll need to trouble Tian Huo Zun Zhe to accompany me to deal with it."
Once they stepped outside, the Grand Elder of the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan cupped his hands slightly as he spoke.
"Alright."
Tian Huo Zun Zhe nodded lightly, indicating his agreement.
As for Lin Feng, he also gave a simple response, then pulled Xiao Yixian toward one of the nearby buildings.
Inside a room that had already been tidied up by the Sand Land Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan, Lin Feng's eyes swept the surroundings.
After confirming there was nothing wrong, he turned his head toward Xiao Yixian and said: "I'll start clearing out these storage rings. For safety, I'll leave that to you."
"No problem."
Xiao Yixian gave a slight nod and agreed.
Seeing her agree, Lin Feng lightly pushed off the ground with his legs and sat down on the bed. Then, pulling out a handful of storage rings from his chest, he lifted them all into the air with his Dou Qi.
Casually picking one, he shattered the soul barrier protecting it.
Immediately afterward, his soul sense slipped inside, carrying with it a sense of anticipation as he began to search.
What interested him most right now was none other than the High-Grade Earth Class version of the Myriad Steel Tempering Technique, which he had yet to see in person.
Unfortunately, this storage ring only contained some ordinary techniques, Dou Techniques, and pills.
Other than that, there was only a copy of the Mid-Grade Earth Class version of the Myriad Steel Tempering Technique, as well as some gold-attribute blood essences and magic cores.
Seeing nothing he wanted, Lin Feng disappointedly set it aside. Then, he took out another storage ring and began searching again. But, to his disappointment.
The items inside this one were nearly identical to the previous one. Not willing to give up so easily, Lin Feng picked up the next storage ring and continued searching.
This cycle of searching repeated again and again, until finally the second-to-last storage ring. Inside, Lin Feng at last found something different.
"This Myriad Steel Tempering Technique actually has a Low-Grade Earth Class version?"
Staring at the golden scroll in his hand, Lin Feng muttered in surprise. Looking closely, he saw written on the scroll's wooden axis:
"Low-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique – Myriad Steel Tempering Technique."
The sight of this scroll left him extremely astonished.
From what he had heard from the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan, the Golden Body Sect possessed the High-Grade Earth Class version of the Myriad Steel Tempering Technique. Yet he hadn't expected this technique to actually have a low-level version as well.
Curious, he immediately unrolled the scroll and sent his soul power into it.
"No wonder the Golden Body Sect's treasury contained so many Rank 4 gold-attribute magic cores and blood essences. Turns out this Low-Grade Earth Class version requires at least Rank 4 gold-attribute magic cores and blood essences to cultivate."
After finishing the contents of the scroll, Lin Feng slowly opened his dark eyes, a tone of realization in his voice.
He had always wondered why a sect like the Golden Body Sect, with a Dou Zun powerhouse sitting in charge, would store so many Rank 4 gold-attribute magic cores and blood essences in its treasury.
Now, he finally understood the key.
"This Low-Grade Earth Class Myriad Steel Tempering Technique requires at minimum the Dou Shi realm to practice. It seems the art is divided into three versions.
The disciples of the Golden Body Sect likely train in them in order: low, mid, then high. But since I just happened to obtain the second scroll first, I mistakenly thought the Myriad Steel Tempering Technique was only a Mid-Grade Earth Class body refining Dou Technique."
Lin Feng rubbed his chin with his palm, silently guessing in his heart.
After that, he closed up the scroll in his hand and put it back where it was. Immediately, his gaze shifted to the last golden storage ring.
This ring belonged to the Sect Master of the Golden Body Sect. The level and amount of treasures inside shouldn't be too low. Thinking of this, Lin Feng stretched out his hand.
He grabbed the floating golden ring into his palm.
"I don't believe that inside this Golden Body Sect Master's storage ring, there isn't a single High-Grade Earth Class Myriad Steel Tempering Technique!"
Lin Feng's face turned fierce, his teeth clenched as he cursed inwardly.
Right after, a surge of majestic soul power burst from between his brows, charging straight at the soul barrier on the ring.
"Bang!"
With a faint shattering sound, the soul barrier on the storage ring was instantly crushed into nothingness by his soul force.
After all, the soul power of this Golden Body Sect's Sect Master was nowhere near as strong as Lue Feng Zun Zhe, and with the man already dead, this ring's soul barrier naturally couldn't withstand the soul attack of Lin Feng, a peak seventh-tier alchemist.
The moment he saw the soul barrier break, his spiritual perception quickly slipped inside. In an instant, the vast amount of items within the ring flooded into Lin Feng's mind.
"Tsk tsk, though the things here can't quite compare to Lue Feng Zun Zhe's storage ring, they're still extremely plentiful, far surpassing the quality of what you'd normally find in a Dou Zong expert's ring."
Guided by his soul perception, Lin Feng arrived before the wooden shelf storing cultivation techniques. After glancing through a few scrolls, he smirked. Then, he went straight toward the shelf storing Dou Techniques.
After all, cultivation techniques for him were nothing more than additions to his collection. What he truly wanted, was that High-Grade Earth Class version of the Myriad Steel Tempering Technique.
Arriving at the wooden shelf, his spiritual sense immediately swept across the many scrolls.
"Found it!"
Not long after, he spotted a scroll marked with the words Myriad Steel Tempering Technique.
Without hesitation, he excitedly pulled it out and slowly unrolled it.
"High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique: Myriad Steel Tempering Technique!"
Seeing those ancient dark characters, Lin Feng's eyes instantly flashed with excitement. The corner of his lips, which he had barely managed to suppress, curved upward in delight.
"Didn't expect this High-Grade Earth Class version of the Myriad Steel Tempering Technique to only exist in the Sect Master's storage ring. Could it be that only the Sect Master is allowed to cultivate it?"
Staring at the golden scroll in his hand, Lin Feng was both thrilled and secretly speculating.
His eyes continued to scan down the scroll.
"This Dou Technique is the highest version of the Myriad Steel Tempering Technique series. Below Dou Zong, one must not cultivate it, otherwise the body will explode and die!"
"This version, just like its predecessors, is divided into three grades — Hundred Steel, Thousand Steel, and Myriad Steel. However, the power of this Dou Technique is completely different from the earlier versions."
"When performed, if the color is dark-gold, it is Hundred Steel, with power beneath Dou Zun. If the color is light-gold, it is Thousand Steel, with power below Nine-Star Dou Zun. If cultivated to perfection, at the Dou Zun realm, there will be nearly no one who can rival it!"
