The next day, as a ray of sunlight filtered through the window and shone on Lin Feng's body, he opened his tightly shut eyes.
Gently pushing away Xiao Yixian who had been lying on top of him, he woke her up. The two of them then began dressing and washing up.
After that, they went to the other room to call Zi Yan.
Once the three of them had gathered, they walked together toward the most bustling center of the city.
Walking along the wide street paved with bluestone, Lin Feng's gaze occasionally swept across the densely packed shops on either side.
Whenever he came across any medicinal ingredients that interested him, he would buy them.
After all, most of the pills in his storage ring had already been given to Cai Lin before leaving the Black-Corner Region.
Currently, he didn't have many pills left on him.
Therefore, he needed to gather some medicinal ingredients to refine a few pills for future use.
When the group reached the very center of Horizon City, a large and luxuriously decorated shop appeared in their line of sight.
"Luo Clan's Magic Core Shop."
Reading aloud the bold characters on the sign above, Lin Feng suddenly remembered this Luo Clan seemed to be the actual rulers of Horizon City, and their main business was selling magic cores.
"If I remember correctly, the Luo Clan should have a magic core of a Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast. Although it's only Rank 6, it can still be used as a backup."
Thinking of this, Lin Feng turned to Xiao Yixian and said, "Let's go in and have a look. Maybe we'll come across the magic core of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast."
"As if we'd be that lucky."
Hearing that, Xiao Yixian's pretty face revealed a trace of helplessness as she shook her head.
Even so, she still lightly raised her jade-like legs and pulled Zi Yan along as she walked inside.
Upon entering the shop, Lin Feng swept his gaze around to examine the interior.
The store's internal space was massive.
On the ceiling, every few meters, there was a brightly lit lamp.
Numerous transparent crystal display cases were arranged in perfect order.
While maximizing space usage, the layout still left wide and accessible pathways in all directions.
The building materials used were all a rare type of wood.
This kind of wood not only emitted a faint fragrance that calmed the mind but was also extremely sturdy.
Even an average Dou Wang would have a hard time damaging it in a short amount of time.
After walking a round inside the shop and finding nothing they needed, Lin Feng eventually arrived at a crystal counter.
He looked at the maid standing behind it and asked, "Do you have a magic core of a Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast?"
"Sky Poison Dragon… Scorpion Beast?"
Hearing his words, the maid repeated the term softly to herself.
She searched her mind for quite a while but realized that she had never heard of such a creature.
As she pondered, a sense of suspicion arose in her heart.
Just who are these people? Could they be sent by some hostile force to cause trouble?
However, upon sensing the oppressive aura radiating from the group—the suspicion in her heart eased considerably.
Although she was only at the level of a Da Dou Shi, she encountered many powerful individuals every day.
Judging by the unrestrained aura of the three in front of her, they were at least Dou Huang-level experts.
Those hostile forces likely wouldn't be willing to send three Dou Huang powerhouses just to throw their lives away.
Thinking this, the maid quickly bowed and said apologetically, "Honored guest, I've never heard of such a magic beast before. I'll need to make some inquiries. Would you mind waiting for a moment?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng wasn't surprised.
After all, the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast was a rare ancient beast that had survived from ancient times.
It was only natural that a regular maid had never heard of it.
But he didn't want to waste any more time. With a flick of his fingers, a faint glow flashed as a badge shaped like a medicinal cauldron suddenly appeared in his hand.
He casually tossed it toward the maid and said nonchalantly, "Alright. Also, have your store manager come out. If you have any Rank 7 magic cores, I'd like to buy a few more."
"A sixth-tier alchemist?!"
Staring at the alchemist badge in her hand, engraved with six rippling lines, the maid named Xiao Cui couldn't hide the astonishment in her voice.
Then, quickly coming back to her senses, she bowed respectfully and said, "Esteemed sir, please follow me to the VIP room. It's more private and suitable for discussion."
"Alright."
Nodding at her words, Lin Feng brought the two women along and followed Xiao Cui toward the VIP room.
After waiting for a short while, the maid returned with an elderly man who appeared to be around fifty years old.
As soon as the elder sensed the aura emanating from Lin Feng, his expression turned serious.
However, when his gaze landed on Xiao Yixian, his heart suddenly trembled with shock.
Although he himself was only at the peak of Dou Huang, the Luo Clan had a Five-Star Dou Zong ancestor.
Thus, upon detecting the faint spatial ripples flickering around Xiao Yixian's delicate body, he immediately understood—this seemingly gentle and fragile woman was a Dou Zong expert!
With that realization, the elder stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Honored guests, I am Luo Honghao, the head of the Luo Clan. I heard from Xiao Cui that you are looking for a Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast magic core and Rank 7 magic cores?"
"That's right. I need a Rank 7 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast core, and four fire-attribute Rank 7 magic cores."
After a short pause, Lin Feng continued, "Of course, if you have any Rank 7 beast flames, I'd like to buy a few of those as well."
Following the principle of buying everything in one go if possible, Lin Feng laid out most of the items he currently needed in one breath.
As for the beast flames, it went without saying—he needed them to refine and temper his Life Transforming Flame.
And the magic cores—aside from the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast core needed by Xiao Yixian—the rest were to be reserved for Lin Feng's future use in activating the Grand Profound Flame Control Array.
After all, to unleash the maximum power of that array, one must draw on a source of energy stronger than their own.
And the easiest source of that kind of power was—magic cores.
As for why he specified the fire attribute—it was because that array could only be fueled by fire-attribute cores.
Upon hearing the list of items Lin Feng needed, the elder immediately sank into deep thought.
After a while, he clasped his hands and said, "Apologies. Our Luo Clan currently has only two fire-attribute Rank 7 magic cores in storage. As for the Rank 7 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast core, I'm afraid we don't have that in stock."
"As expected, you don't have it..."
Hearing that, a flash of disappointment flickered in Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes, and a faint bitterness welled up in her heart.
The elder hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said, "However, we do have one Rank 6 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast magic core in inventory. And as for Rank 7 beast flames, our Luo Clan can provide four or five of those."
Upon hearing the second half of his words, the disappointed expression on Xiao Yixian's lovely face instantly faded by more than half.
She turned her gaze slightly and looked at Lin Feng with a hint of surprise.
She hadn't expected that he would actually guess right this time.
Although this magic core was one tier lower than what the secret technique specified—it was still the same species, and using it as a backup was still an excellent option.
In the event that they couldn't obtain a Rank 7 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast core later, this one might still do the trick.
"We'll take that Rank 6 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast core, the two Rank 7 fire-attribute magic cores, and those beast flames."
Hearing there were only two Rank 7 fire-attribute cores, Lin Feng frowned slightly, but soon relaxed and said to the elder.
With that, Lin Feng took out four jade bottles from his storage ring and tossed them over.
A while later—
The three of them walked out of the Luo Clan's Magic Core Shop under the enthusiastic escort of the Luo Clan's patriarch, Luo Honghao.
After all, the total value of Lin Feng's purchases this time was equivalent to an entire month of business for the Luo Clan.
It wasn't every day that one came across such a big customer—perhaps once in decades.
So how could Luo Honghao not be overjoyed?
At the same time, Lin Feng was also in a very good mood.
Not only had he acquired everything he needed—he also received a spatial ship from Luo Honghao as a gift.
This type of spatial vessel was an excellent transport tool for cultivators below Dou Zun when traveling through spatial wormholes.
It could greatly accelerate one's travel speed inside spatial tunnels.
Back on the streets of Horizon City, after orienting himself—Lin Feng immediately led the two girls toward the location of the spatial wormhole.
