Time is like a cloud floating in the sky; even if you always see its beauty, it is no longer the same cloud you first encountered.
After refining the peak fourth-grade pill—the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill—Lin Feng slept soundly for a day and a night.
Afterwards, he indulged in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, accompanying Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor to see the various aspects of the Jia Ma Imperial Capital. It was a pity he didn't encounter the black iron fragment that Xiao Yan met in the original story.
That contained the secret technique of the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire, and with Lin Feng's orphan background, he would definitely seize every opportunity to become stronger.
However, what is gained is my fortune, what is lost is my fate.
There are other ways to become strong in the future, so there's no need to be fixated on this.
Of course, Lin Feng didn't neglect consolidating his fourth-grade alchemy skills or learning fifth-grade alchemy techniques.
Even his cultivation of Dou Qi, aided by the Monkey Wine, progressed further, reaching a near-peak level of three-star Dou Ling.
He only needed one more opportunity to enter seclusion and break through, becoming a mid-level Dou Ling.
At that time, with his various trump cards, facing some low-level Dou Wangs should not be a problem. After all, the greatest advantage of Dou Wangs is aerial combat, which is no longer a weakness for him.
The
vast sun had just set, and the crescent moon had just risen, yet the Alchemist Guild was bustling with activity.
"The royal princesses of the Jia Ma Empire, Princess Yao Ye and Princess Yao Yue, have arrived, bringing gifts of ingredients for five sets of fourth-grade pills."
Accompanied by a cheer, two gorgeously dressed beauties appeared in everyone's sight.
"Boom!"
The previously relatively calm crowd suddenly erupted, as a tall and lovely woman walked slowly, surrounded by a group of iron-blooded soldiers.
"Thank you for the gifts from the two princesses. Lin Feng thanks you." A slender figure walked over and spoke slowly, with Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor standing beside him.
"Oh, is this the famous Mr. Lin Feng? I didn't expect him to be so young." The tall Yao Ye spoke first.
Although it seemed like flattery, his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of undisguised arrogance, as if he wanted to carve out his own path.
He disdained relying on flattery to maintain the empire, but the thought of his aging grandfather forced him to force himself, and the unnaturalness in his expression was clearly visible to everyone present.
However, Lin Feng wouldn't mock him; what right did someone in the weak have to ridicule others?
"Hahaha, it's all just everyone's praise. Thank you both for gracing me with your presence." The thought flashed through his mind, but he said it outwardly.
"You're Lin Feng? You're really a fourth-grade alchemist? How did you cultivate? I'm also a little genius, how come I'm so much worse than you?"
Before Yao Ye could answer, the seemingly mischievous Yao Yue stepped forward first, asking a series of questions that left Lin Feng somewhat bewildered.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Feng," Yao Ye, who hadn't expected her younger sister to be so impulsive, quickly stepped forward to apologize, "My little sister has been spoiled by the family since she was little,"
she said, quickly pulling her petite and adorable younger sister aside.
Pouting unconvinced, Yaoyue still obeyed her sister and apologized to Lin Feng, though a hint of curiosity still flickered in her eyes.
"Hahaha, my little sister is so innocent and lively, it's quite endearing!" Lin Feng laughed heartily upon seeing this.
"Sister, did you see? Mr. Lin Feng already said..." She playfully stuck out her tongue at her sister, then quickly shrank back when she saw Yaoye's unfriendly expression.
However, looking at the two beautiful sisters, Qinglin and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged a glance, a strange look flashing in their eyes.
Although they didn't step forward, they both simultaneously unleashed their Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques—the Twisting Waist Technique.
Lin Feng, who was chatting amiably with the two princesses, suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong, Mr. Lin Feng?" Seeing Lin Feng's sudden change in expression, Yao Ye quickly asked, while Yao Yue also showed concern.
At this moment, the two imperial princesses' impression of Lin Feng had greatly improved. After all, such a young fourth-rank alchemist, and also holding the influential position of elder in the Alchemist Guild of the Jia Ma Empire,
was expected to be extremely arrogant, even towards them, the imperial princesses.
"Hahaha, I apologize for being so rude to you two. Someone, escort the two princesses to their seats," Lin Feng hurriedly said, feeling the increasingly sinister gazes behind him.
"Then we won't disturb you entertaining your guests any longer, sir. See you later." Seemingly sensing something amiss, Yao Ye smiled slightly and pulled back Yao Yue, who was about to speak again.
"Oh, sister, I want to chat a little longer!" Yao Yue, being pulled away, glared at her short legs and waved her little hands frantically.
Lin Feng watched the two young ladies leave when suddenly, two sarcastic voices rang out behind him.
"Brother Lin Feng, is it beautiful?"
"Of course it's beautiful! Not only are they twin beauties, but they're also noble princesses of the empire. Unlike us two sisters, we're just country bumpkins."
"Yes, yes, it seems we two sisters will be sent back to Qingshan Town sooner or later, not only to live out our lives alone, but also to help someone guard his legacy."
"..."
"You two," looking at the strange Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly and hurriedly explained.
"Qing Lin, Fairy Doctor, this is just a formality. I will never forget you two who have always been there for me during my quiet moments."
Seeing Lin Feng's sudden change in expression, the two of them immediately returned to normal and threw themselves into Lin Feng's arms.
"Brother Lin Feng, we're just afraid you'll suddenly leave us."
"Qing Lin, Little Fairy Doctor."
Holding the two lovely women tightly in his arms, Lin Feng silently vowed to protect them, the two who had entrusted everything to him.
"Even if it means risking my life to protect them!"
"The Grand Elder of the Mittel family presents the ingredients for three sets of fourth-grade pills," the congratulatory man paused, looking at a gold card, "plus a gold card with an 80% discount at the Mittel Auction House."
"Hahaha, truly a young prodigy, with extraordinary talent, making this old man feel ashamed!" Before the person even arrived, a powerful, aged voice rang out first.
Immediately afterward, a richly dressed old man was seen walking slowly with a graceful woman in red, and the attendants beside him quickly presented the congratulatory gifts.
"Haha, this must be the renowned Elder of the Mittel family. Supporting such a large family single-handedly is truly admirable." Seeing another gift arrive, Lin Feng quickly offered words of praise.
"Uh..." Seemingly surprised that the young genius, who should have been arrogant after achieving fame at such a young age, would act this way, the old man was stunned.
"Mr. Lin Feng is truly admirable!"
