"Hoo!"
After closing his eyes to rest for a quarter of an hour, Lin Feng slowly exhaled a breath of foul air and began the most arduous challenge he had ever faced in alchemy.
Peak Fourth Grade Pill—Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill!
He examined the medicinal herbs prepared by Fa Ma one by one. Azure Flame Grass, Black Gastrodia
, and more than twenty other herbs—this was the most raw materials Lin Feng had ever used in alchemy, demonstrating the difficulty of the process.
"Bang!"
A ball of blue beast fire appeared in Lin Feng's palm. A sixth-order beast fire—Azure Flame. This was one of the three beast fires he had reabsorbed, still from the Alchemist Guild's treasures.
Of course, the three sixth-order beast fires had nearly exhausted the guild's top-tier beast fires, for which the Alchemist Guild naturally had complaints.
After all, even if Lin Feng was a genius, it had little to do with ordinary people like them.
Lin Feng was aware of this, but the principles of the world wouldn't change because of the complaints of the weak.
Truth ultimately resides in the hands of a few, though for the general public, as long as it remains unknown to them, it has no impact.
Lin Feng deeply understood this in his previous life.
Of course, he wasn't just a blood-sucking monster. The pills he refined over the past few days belonged to the Alchemist Guild, which was why no one had caused trouble so far.
Moreover, Lin Feng had unleashed a powerful weapon—the Five Elements Pill.
That's right, a pill exclusively for Lin Feng; from Dou Zhe to Da Dou Shi, Lin Feng refined ten of each of three types in the past three days.
This pill has only circulated within the guild so far; that's right, not a single word has leaked out.
Because Lin Feng explained that this type of pill would not conflict with other advancement pills, most alchemists were in an uproar.
This meant saving two stars' worth of time to practice alchemy. As for the fact that consuming pills to advance combat power wasn't significant
, that was a joke. Which alchemist with mediocre talent would care? They would rather devote all their time to the noble profession of alchemy.
Moreover, if you don't believe me, even those martial artists who are only good at brute force, if such a pill were placed in front of them, do you think they would eat it?
As for why there are only ten of them, what a joke! They're all said to be exclusive pills; if they were commonplace, what would be the point of being exclusive?
This is also the real reason why, although the alchemists complained about Lin Feng using a large amount of the guild's resources, no one caused trouble.
It involved the interests of most alchemists. If you don't use it, will your children and grandchildren?
You're high and mighty, you're amazing, and your children and grandchildren are amazing too? If that's the case, your coffin lid will probably be in the underground drainage ditch of the capital a hundred years from now.
First, he threw the relatively easy-to-refine Azure Flame Grass into the medicine cauldron, and the azure flames boiled, slowly burning it.
The method of refining Azure Flame Grass is extremely simple; you just need to roast the energy contained in its juices. For Lin Feng, who has been through countless battles, this is not a particularly difficult step.
As time went by, one medicinal herb after another was put into the medicine cauldron. Fortunately, although it was his first time refining, Lin Feng did not make any mistakes.
Finally, after refining all the medicinal herbs, the most difficult step was about to begin: refining the three flames simultaneously.
"Lin Feng, you need to be careful from now on. The most important thing is to control the three flames in a balance," Pharaoh paused, his expression slightly grave. "A slight deviation will produce a huge energy reaction; even a Dou Wang expert would be injured if they weren't careful. You should do this
later." "Yes, thank you for your guidance, Pharaoh," Lin Feng replied, turning his head slightly.
With a "bang,
"
two more balls of beast fire rose from his palms, the sixth-tier beast fire—Peach Blossom Fire and Lion-Tiger Beast King Flame—rushing into the medicine cauldron.
Under the control of his powerful soul force, comparable to a seventh-grade cultivator, the three beast fires began to rotate rapidly around the energy cluster at the center of the cauldron. With
each rotation, the fluctuations of the four became increasingly similar, accompanied by massive energy fluctuations.
Fortunately, under his powerful soul control, they remained unharmed.
As the energy fluctuations within the medicine cauldron grew stronger, finally, at a certain moment, a strange light appeared before Lin Feng and his companion's eyes, followed by a rich, fragrant aroma.
"Boom!"
Accompanying this fragrance, a huge wave suddenly appeared within the medicine cauldron, even spreading into the alchemy room.
Fortunately, the alchemist's entire setup was built to the highest standards, so this energy fluctuation only rippled around the walls before slowly disappearing.
However, Lin Feng, his mind tense, paid no attention to it. At this moment, all his soul power was pressed fiercely onto the surging energy source.
Even Fa Ma, standing beside him, was watching intently, wondering if this genius alchemist could achieve another brilliant feat.
"Thump thump thump,"
finally, a rumbling sound came from the cauldron, and the two who had been watching intently finally showed a relieved smile.
"It's done, peak fourth grade—Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill!"
"Hahaha, Lin Feng, you're truly enviable! In just a few days, you've gone from just advancing to the fourth grade to the peak of the fourth grade." At this moment, Fa Ma, sensing the pill taking shape, finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, lucky, lucky," seeing Fa Ma's constant praise, Lin Feng became unusually reserved, which surprised Fa Ma.
"However, Pharaoh, do you think if we announce this news, we'll receive an even higher-level congratulatory gift at the banquet?" Lin Feng rubbed his hands and winked.
"You little rascal, I never knew you had this side to you," Fa Ma said, both amused and exasperated, watching Lin Feng's antics. He seemed different from his usual shrewd self, now displaying a hint of youthful charm.
"However, in my opinion, I won't add any more, unless..." Fa Ma's gaze was fixed on Lin Feng, a burning intensity in his eyes that sent a chill down Lin Feng's spine.
"Unless you can advance to a fifth-grade alchemist!"
"Oh, a fifth-grade alchemist?" Hearing this, Lin Feng rubbed his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face, seemingly considering whether to continue trying to refine fifth-grade pills.
"Lin Feng, I was just teasing you. You don't really want to try, do you? The gap between fourth and fifth grade isn't insurmountable, but it's not easy to cross either," Fa Ma said, startled, quickly trying to dissuade him.
"Don't be fooled by your seemingly decent success rate in refining fourth-grade pills. That's because you've already studied numerous fourth-grade pill refining techniques. You haven't delved much into fifth-grade."
Looking at the tense expression on Fa Ma's face, he continued, "Haha, Pharaoh, just kidding. Even reaching the peak of fourth-grade was just a fluke. I won't blindly attempt
anything before I've solidified my fourth-grade foundation. Besides," he paused, "and besides, I've missed my two little wives back home terribly these past few days!"
