The explosion just now was the result of Lin Feng's extensive experimentation—a newly developed Dou Technique.
Its attack method was somewhat similar to Xiao Yan's Angry Buddha Lotus Flame from the original novel.
However, Lin Feng's version was far inferior to the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame.
His idea was simple: since two Heavenly Flames or Beast Flames would explode upon contact due to their repelling forces, why not use this explosion to kill enemies?
Of course, enemies weren't idiots. If they saw him preparing to detonate two flames, they would immediately recognize the danger and flee.
Therefore, in actual combat, he could only trigger the explosion at close range, ensuring the enemy had no time to escape.
However, Lin Feng lacked the unique Dou Qi of Flame Mantra to neutralize and control the reaction. Once two Beast Flames collided, he had no way to contain it.
Despite his advantage of foresight, he still wouldn't have much time to escape.
In essence, Lin Feng was gambling on whose health bar lasted longer.
Whoever could withstand the explosion of these two flames would be the victor.
"This attack method is not only dangerous but also consumes too many Beast Flames. It seems best to avoid using it unless absolutely necessary."
Lin Feng dusted off his clothes, looking at the two Rank 3 Beast Flames that had vanished after the explosion, feeling a pang of regret.
Although he had gathered quite a few Beast Flames from the Tagore Desert and the imperial capital through various means, including retrieving Rank 3 Beast Flames from magical beast corpses, he only had about fifty in total.
As for Rank 4, he had merely twenty, and Rank 5, just the one he had previously used.
Factoring in the flames he had wasted while experimenting, his stock was even lower.
After a long while, Lin Feng stored away his black basalt shield and gazed at the distant dark lands.
He muttered to himself, "I'm about to enter the Black-Corner Region. I should take the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill first and see if I can enhance my strength. Crossing that place on my way to Jia Nan Academy is too dangerous. If I can break through to Da Dou Shi, it should be much safer."
With that in mind, Lin Feng leaped a few times and entered a cave hidden behind a waterfall.
After nearly two months of training, combined with the assistance of the Birth Essence, he had now reached the level of an Eight-Star Dou Shi.
If not for most of the Birth Essence's energy being absorbed by Purple Flame to aid its growth, he would have already reached the peak of Dou Shi.
However, it wasn't without benefits. After his meticulous nurturing, the power of Purple Flame had significantly improved.
Compared to Beast Flames directly extracted from Rank 6 Magic Beasts, its strength was not too far off.
When using Skyfire Three Mysterious Change, Purple Flame was now far stronger than a Rank 5 Beast Flame.
Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Lin Feng didn't immediately take the pill. Instead, he entered a meditative state, waiting for his body to reach peak condition.
Moments later, sensing the right opportunity, Lin Feng retrieved a jade bottle and poured out the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill.
Wisps of green-colored medicinal fragrance immediately spread from the pill, swirling around him.
Looking at the pill in his hand, Lin Feng murmured, "This pill's quality is exceptionally high. The chances of failure should be very low. Hopefully, I won't be the unlucky exception."
With that, he swallowed the pill in one gulp and immediately resumed his cultivation posture.
As soon as the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill entered his mouth, it dissolved instantly. Before Lin Feng could even react, it transformed into three streams of pure energy.
Like raging rivers, they surged down his throat, roaring as they poured into his meridians.
The moment the three streams of energy entered his meridians, Lin Feng's hands, still forming a cultivation seal, trembled violently.
He realized that at this moment, the three streams of energy erupted with intense heat, scorching his body as they traveled through his meridians.
This sensation caught Lin Feng off guard, and he nearly exited his meditative state in shock.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, forcing himself to calm down and endure the strange pain through gritted teeth.
Focusing his mind inward, he willed his Dou Qi Cyclone to unleash waves of surging crimson Dou Qi, which flowed through his meridians.
Finally, at a certain point within his meridians, the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill's energy collided violently with his Dou Qi.
Boom!
A muffled explosion echoed within his body. Lin Feng let out a low groan, his face flushing red.
His hand seals shifted rapidly as he guided the three streams of energy, now slightly tempered by his Dou Qi, along the designated cultivation path.
As they circulated, the three streams of energy intertwined and fused harmoniously.
However, they occasionally released scorching heat, catching Lin Feng off guard and making him suffer immensely.
As the three streams of energy continued circulating through the prescribed cultivation path, they merged completely, transforming into a single entity composed of three distinct colors.
With the fusion complete, the energy's volume surged dramatically, expanding several times over. What was once a somewhat ethereal energy was now fully condensed into a tri-colored liquid.
As the energy swelled, Lin Feng could even vaguely hear the excited roars emanating from within it.
However, before Lin Feng could react, the three-colored energy in his meridians surged violently, like a speeding train, rampaging through his body.
Just as he was about to exert all his strength to control it, the energy suddenly trembled. Countless tiny energy streams branched out from it and surged wildly in all directions within his meridians.
Under Lin Feng's stunned gaze, these streams rushed into even the meridians he had never touched before. The violent impact caused sharp pain to radiate from his meridians.
Cold sweat slowly trickled down his forehead due to the intense pain. His lips twitched uncontrollably, and his entire face twisted in agony.
A hissing sound escaped through his clenched teeth as the countless tiny energy streams forcefully broke into the narrow meridians he had never reached before. Like a roaring river, the energy rushed through, causing his constricted meridians to expand rapidly. Tiny cracks appeared on the walls of the meridians, with faint beams of light seeping through—an omen of impending rupture due to excessive expansion.
Just as these cracks began to widen, the three-colored energy streams left behind droplets of scorching energy liquid as they passed.
These droplets quickly adhered to the nearly shattered meridian walls and seeped into them. As the liquid merged with the meridians, the cracks miraculously began to shrink.
Moments later, the cracks completely disappeared.
However, those once narrow meridians, which could barely accommodate a small amount of energy, had undergone a complete transformation.
This scene was unfolding throughout Lin Feng's body. Although the searing pain nearly caused his vision to blur, the rapidly widening and strengthening meridians made him realize that if he endured this, it would bring him immense benefits.
Once these tiny meridians were opened, his ability to channel Dou Qi would undoubtedly become significantly faster in the future. In battle, the ability to control Dou Qi as effortlessly as his own limbs would provide a great advantage.
The streams of energy continued their rampage. After breaking through a narrow meridian, they surged forward. Suddenly, a faint puffing sound echoed.
From the pores on Lin Feng's body, fine jets of three-colored energy shot out.
Shortly after the first burst, his body trembled uncontrollably. His skin erupted with countless streams of three-colored energy, surging out like a fountain.
For a moment, he looked like a teapot riddled with holes, spewing energy in all directions.
Originally curled up and sleeping on Lin Feng's arm, Xiao Cai was startled awake by the energy burst. It darted into the air, staring in confusion at Lin Feng, whose entire body was glowing with colors.
The energy eruption lasted only a few seconds before disappearing completely.
Once the energy dissipated, the pores that had ejected the fine energy jets began to seep droplets of blood.
One drop after another dripped down, soaking half of Lin Feng's body in crimson.
However, the pores that had been forcefully opened slowly began to return to normal.
Lin Feng, however, could distinctly feel that whenever he formed a cultivation hand seal, these newly opened pores, which were now connected to his meridians, acted like vortexes.
They absorbed external energy at a speed more than ten times faster than before.
As time passed, the sharp pain from the newly opened meridians gradually subsided.
Sensing this, Lin Feng sighed in relief.
Finally, he could focus entirely on refining the largest remaining stream of three-colored energy that was still surging through his body following the cultivation technique's path.
Concentrating his mind on the tireless energy, Lin Feng activated his cultivation technique, continuously refining the vast power.
Under the influence of the technique, strands of energy lost their wild and scorching nature, slowly separating from the main stream.
Finally, the technique fully converted them into pure liquid energy, which poured into his Dou Qi Cyclone.
As strands of energy liquid were infused, the deep red liquid within the Dou Qi Cyclone surged upward at an astonishing speed.
"No wonder the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill is so potent," Lin Feng thought, pleasantly surprised by the scene before him.
He could feel that his strength was on the verge of breaking through the barrier of Da Dou Shi.
Yet, nearly one-third of the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill's medicinal power remained.
The three-colored liquid energy continued to circulate rapidly within his meridians.
With each completed cycle, a large portion of the refined, pure energy would be injected into his Dou Qi Cyclone.
Each time this happened, the Dou Qi Cyclone's volume would increase drastically.
