A pillar of light shot into the sky from a certain place, and the entire inner courtyard was in an uproar. From Dou Zong to some students who were still at the Great Dou Shi level, everyone except those who were in seclusion and had reached a critical stage of cultivation rushed towards the location of the pillar of light.
At this moment, the differences in cultivation among the people were evident. Not to mention Elder Su Qian, and even excluding the elders who were already at the Dou Wang level, these Great Dou Shi and Dou Ling level students all displayed their supernatural abilities, transforming into streaks of light, some fast and some slow.
When everyone arrived outside the cultivation chamber, it was a scene of a sea of people, accompanied by excited discussions.
"This must be Elder Lin Feng successfully advancing to the sixth-grade alchemy master! Elder Lin Feng is my idol for life!"
A charming voice rang out, belonging to a senior student with a voluptuous figure who was usually known as a "sea queen." She looked shy and covered her cheeks with her hands. If this appearance were normal, it would probably shock everyone's eyes. However, everyone's attention was completely drawn to the towering pillar of energy and the fragrant aroma of medicine, and no one paid any attention to anything else.
Some did try to argue, but their voices were weak, as if even they themselves didn't believe it.
"I heard that Elder Huo came to the inner courtyard at Elder Lin Feng's invitation to discuss alchemy techniques recently. Maybe it's Elder Huo!"
"You, you're usually so unreliable, but now you're showing no discernment at all. Elder Lin Feng has been refining pills for a month straight, even Elder Huo admits he can't compare. This situation definitely means Elder Lin Feng has successfully advanced!"
Someone quickly retorted, their words logical and clear, earning nods of agreement from everyone around.
The crowd discussed excitedly, even the students from the major families of Zhongzhou were extremely excited. Even their families held a sixth-grade alchemy master in high esteem, let alone them, who were still developing.
To witness an alchemist advance to the sixth grade, and possibly even the highly talented Lin Feng, was something they were thrilled about. These family scions were already considering how to befriend Lin Feng. After all, with Lin Feng's talent, he was destined to reach the true center of the Dou Qi Continent—Zhongzhou—sooner or later.
Not only were these students excited, but many of the elders present, even those usually highly respected, were now stroking their beards, their expressions moved.
Elder Liu, who wasn't on duty today, couldn't help but speak up.
"The first time I saw Elder Lin Feng, I noticed a ray of spiritual light emanating from the top of his head. Sure enough, Elder Lin Feng's subsequent growth completely confirmed my prediction."
Seeing the old man's shameless appearance, several other elders, also with white hair and youthful faces, changed their usual tempers and echoed him.
"Yes, the first time I saw Elder Lin Feng, I was awestruck and even specially asked Elder Lin Feng to refine a Vajra."
At this point, the elder seemed to realize he had inadvertently let slip something and was about to laugh it off. However, noticing the rather strange expressions on the faces of his old friends beside him, he immediately understood and unconsciously straightened his back.
"Yes, in the past, Black Corner Region mostly used beauty-enhancing pills for women, but Elder Lin Feng, for the greater good, refined such pills for us old folks. He's truly beyond the reach of ordinary mortals!" "
..."
"By the way, you all went to Elder Lin Feng to refine these Vajra Pills?"
Just as everyone was expressing their emotions and feelings, an untimely voice suddenly rang out. Instantly, the elders' expressions froze, all staring at this troublemaker, silently exerting immense pressure on him.
"Why are you all staring at me like that?" The nameless elder, feeling a tightness in his chest from the gazes, quickly spoke up, trying to ease the oppressive atmosphere.
Seeing that he was indeed a brainless fool, the others exchanged glances, confirmed something, and then silently took a few steps back, distancing themselves from him.
"What do you mean by this?" the nameless elder asked anxiously.
Looking at this group of old clowns, Su Qian's lips twitched slightly. Fortunately, it was only among a few old friends; otherwise, Canaan Academy's reputation would be ruined.
Meanwhile, inside the secret chamber, Lin Feng wore a slightly pleased expression, while Elder Huo's excitement was undisguised. They watched the energy pillars shooting into the sky and the energy ripples spreading outwards from the cauldron.
"Elder Lin Feng is truly a peerless genius. His advancement to the sixth-grade alchemist realm in one fell swoop, and the pills he refines produce such powerful phenomena, comparable to a high-grade sixth-grade alchemist,"
Lin Feng explained, seeing the rather shocked Elder Huo.
"Elder Huo, you misunderstand. This is merely due to the cultivation technique. To be honest, in terms of true achievement in alchemy, it will still take some time before we reach the advanced sixth rank."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Elder Huo's expression became even more shocked. The implication was that he was confident of advancing to the advanced sixth rank in a short time. Thinking of this, Elder Huo couldn't help but gasp, marveling at the terrifying power of this young man.
"Elder Lin Feng truly makes me ashamed, but..." His tone shifted, and Elder Huo's expression became excited again, "With Elder Lin Feng's success this time, I feel I have completely overcome my psychological shadow and will definitely succeed!"
Seeing Elder Huo's fluctuating emotions, Lin Feng did not stop him. Firstly, Elder Huo had accumulated years of experience; if it weren't for his lack of advanced alchemy techniques, he would probably have already advanced to the sixth rank. Secondly, for an alchemist, seizing that fleeting moment of inspiration is extremely important.
Thinking this, Lin Feng silently put away his Demon Transformation Pill and the medicine cauldron, and casually waved his hand to calm the fluctuating energy around him, so as not to interfere with Elder Huo.
When Elder Huo stood before the medicine cauldron again, an even more intense discussion suddenly arose outside, because the energy pillar had disappeared, which meant that a super genius, a sixth-grade alchemy master, was about to appear.
After waiting for half an hour, no one emerged from the secret chamber, and everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"This, could Elder Lin Feng have failed in his alchemy?"
A weak voice rang out in the room, instantly igniting the crowd, and everyone clapped back, their faces red and necks bulging.
"Elder Lin Feng is a super alchemy master that I recognize, how could he fail? He must be adjusting his aura and recovering his mind."
"That's right, it's possible that after Elder Lin Feng has adjusted, he will refine a second sixth-grade pill."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Elder Lin Feng's month-long alchemy work had completely won everyone over. Even if something outrageous happened, they could completely accept it.
The elders were also somewhat puzzled, all looking at Su Qian. The Grand Elder, who had traversed the Central Continent, might be knowledgeable and have seen similar situations before. Su Qian, however, was equally bewildered. How could this have happened?
Just as everyone was wondering, a rich fragrance of medicinal pills wafted out, followed by Elder Huo, his face beaming with joy, emerging from the secret chamber.
"Everyone, from now on, please call me a sixth-grade alchemist!"
