**
He knew that this was a possible side effect that could occur when Flame Mantra devoured flames.
To resolve this condition, one had to either take the corresponding pill—
Or find a woman and do some "population-increasing activities" to resolve it.
Since he hadn't called Medusa beforehand, Lin Feng could only let this opportunity go to waste.
He picked up another jade bottle at his side and poured out the pill inside to swallow it.
Immediately, a bone-chilling sensation spread down from Lin Feng's throat.
His spirit trembled slightly as he felt this icy sensation.
The gradually rising thoughts in his mind, like melting snow meeting a blazing fire, quickly vanished and dissipated.
After the strange thoughts dispersed, the beast flame began charging madly through the final section of the meridians.
And as it neared its destination, Lin Feng's spiritual perception could see—
That crimson flame was being devoured by Flame Mantra in a mysterious manner.
The Dou Qi within Lin Feng's body also seemed to be fusing rapidly with the beast flame.
The originally pale yellow Dou Qi was swiftly being transformed into crimson.
Moreover, the surface of the Dou Qi appeared to be rising with faint crimson flames.
At this point, however, the intense heat from the Rank 7 beast flame no longer caused any damage to his meridians.
Sensing the completely transformed Dou Qi, Lin Feng felt a surge of joy in his heart.
At this rate, his Flame Mantra would soon finish devouring the Rank 7 beast flame.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately continued directing his Dou Qi to begin the final circulation path through his meridians.
The Dou Qi's speed of circulation grew faster and faster, and at a certain moment, the transformed Dou Qi finally rushed out of the final meridian.
Having traveled through all the meridians required by Flame Mantra's operation route, it returned once more to the lower abdomen.
At the same time, the color of Lin Feng's Dou Crystal completely changed from the original pale yellow to the same crimson red as the beast flame.
Simultaneously, during Flame Mantra's absorption of the beast flame's core energy and its evolution interval—
A considerable amount of refined energy also dispersed into his Dou Crystal.
After receiving this refined energy, the Dou Crystal rapidly expanded in size.
And Lin Feng's Dou Qi level broke through to Five-Star Da Dou Shi.
Not long after, borrowing the power of this energy surge, Lin Feng's level rose by another minor rank.
He then stabilized his realm at that level.
His tightly shut eyes, which had been closed for a long time, suddenly opened.
Within his eyes, a flash of crimson flame flickered.
With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, Lin Feng controlled the Dou Qi within his body to quickly flow out from the Dou Crystal.
After circulating once through his meridians, he softly murmured,
"So it's evolved to High-Grade Yellow Class... and my Dou Qi level has broken through to Six-Star Da Dou Shi."
Seeing the successful evolution of Flame Mantra, more than half of the unease in his heart disappeared.
Rising to his feet, Lin Feng summoned the crimson beast flame from within his body and began attaching it to his Dou Techniques to perform various attacks.
After releasing Dou Techniques such as Scarlet Flame Palm, Furious Lion Roar, Piercing Heart Finger, and Fire Condensation Art—
Lin Feng felt that the flame within his body showed no signs of going out of control.
Casually taking a Qi Recovery Pill and swallowing it, the smile on his face grew wider.
The current Flame Mantra had shown no signs of any side effects.
This scroll of the Flame Mantra must truly be the complete version.
"Haha, if after I devour a second Beast Flame and there's still no reaction in my body's flame, then this cultivation technique I've been practicing must really be the complete and flawless Flame Mantra!"
Sensing that the Beast Flame within his body was completely stable, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh heartily.
He had previously been somewhat worried that when Yao Chen was at the Great Plains, he might have given Han Feng an incomplete upper volume.
But now it seemed that the scroll of the Flame Mantra - Complete Version he cultivated was, with ninety percent certainty, no different from the version Xiao Yan practiced.
Gently stroking the Serene Sea Storage Ring on his hand, Lin Feng pondered quietly.
Currently, he possessed a total of three Beast Flames.
The one he had just absorbed was the Rank 7 Crimson Flame Blazing Flame Horned Lizard Beast Flame that he had been using all along.
The other two had been obtained from Han Feng.
One was the Rank 8 Azure Beast Flame extracted from Han Feng's corpse, and the other was a Rank 7 Beast Flame he found inside the Serene Sea Storage Ring.
He estimated that once he devoured all of them, the Flame Mantra should evolve to around Low-Grade Black Class.
However, Lin Feng didn't immediately proceed to devour the remaining two Beast Flames.
Instead, he left the alchemy chamber to carry out his talent enhancement plan.
During this time, he finally enjoyed the kind of treatment usually reserved for noble clan disciples, all thanks to the many pills he had refined earlier.
Various types of pills beneficial to his future cultivation were used one after another.
And his cultivation talent and physique were rapidly improving at a delightful pace.
A few days later, Lin Feng devoured another Rank 7 Beast Flame.
This Rank 7 Beast Flame was far more powerful than the one he had previously acquired at the Black Emperor City Auction.
This brought his Flame Mantra to just a step away from reaching the Low-Grade Black Class.
Moreover, no signs of flame rampage occurred.
As for his Dou Qi level, it successfully advanced to Eight-Star Da Dou Shi.
If he were to take a Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill now, he could break through to Nine-Star Da Dou Shi.
However, he chose not to do so and simply continued cultivating as usual.
Also, until he reached the Dou Wang realm, he wouldn't consume any pills that directly boosted strength.
This included the crimson bead he had obtained from the bodies of those lizard creatures back in the magma world.
At most, he would take high-quality natural treasures like Core Quenching Body Milk.
Of course, when it came time to break through to Dou Wang, pills like the Supreme King Pill would still be used.
But before he could cultivate in peace for long, the long-absent Zi Yan came knocking.
Upon noticing Lin Feng's significantly weakened aura, she asked in confusion,
"Lin Feng, why do I feel like something's off with your strength?"
"Well, that's right. I've decided to start cultivating anew. My current strength is only at Eight-Star Da Dou Shi."
Seeing her, Lin Feng tossed out a large jade bottle filled with pills and said casually.
Zi Yan grabbed the jade bottle, tilted it to her mouth, and poured out several dozen pills.
While munching on them, she spoke with a tone of regret, "Why'd you have to start over? You were already at peak Dou Wang before—what a waste."
"There's nothing to regret. As long as I can climb back up again, my future achievements will far surpass what they were before."
After speaking, Lin Feng's dark eyes flickered slightly as he asked,
"Zi Yan, what happened after I left during the last incident at the Inner Academy? Was the Heavenly Flame preserved?"
"That transparent little flame was protected by Su Qian and the other old guys. It's now placed in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, and Inner Academy elders take turns infusing it with Dou Qi every day to help it grow. As for the blue Heavenly Flame Han Feng used, it was snatched by that Xiao Yan. I heard he even promised some pills to a few factions from the Black-Corner Region in exchange for their retreat."
The little girl grabbed another handful of pills and stuffed them into her mouth as she replied with a muffled voice.
