In the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, within Lin Feng's private courtyard, Lin Feng, who had just emerged from seclusion and was preparing to rest, was surprised to find several familiar figures chatting idly under the carefully cultivated peach tree.
Hearing the greetings from Commander Wu Tianlang and Vice Dean Hu Qian, Lin Feng smiled slightly and stepped forward.
"Gentlemen, long time no see, how have you been?"
"Hahaha, thank you for your concern, Elder Lin Feng." Vice Dean Hu Qian stroked his beard lightly, exchanged a glance with Commander Wu Tianlang, and finally spoke.
"Elder Lin Feng, actually, we two have come to the inner courtyard this time to ask for your help."
"Oh?" A hint of interest flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, then something seemed to come to mind.
"Elder Lin Feng must already know our purpose, that's right, it's the Breakthrough Pill!"
"This was my oversight; I've been back at the academy for so long, I completely forgot about it."
"Hahaha, this is just the right time," Hu Qian stroked his beard, taking out the ingredients for the Breakthrough Pill that he had already prepared in his storage ring. "Elder Lin Feng, there are six portions of ingredients here. From now on, it's all up to you, Elder Lin Feng!"
"Vice Dean and Commander Wu, rest assured, two Breakthrough Pills will be delivered in ten days!
" "In that case, we eagerly await Elder Lin Feng's good news!" Vice Dean Hu Qian and Commander Wu Tianlang exchanged a glance, cupped their hands in greeting, and left.
Watching them depart, Lin Feng didn't immediately head to the secret chamber to refine the Breakthrough Pill. He wasn't made of iron; after such a long period of seclusion, he needed to relax.
Thinking of Little Fairy Doctor's current seclusion, and the unknown whereabouts of Zi Yan and Cai Lin, Lin Feng abandoned any thought of wandering into the inner courtyard. He slowly walked to the glowing peach tree, gently placing his palm on it. A single wood-attribute battle qi slowly surged from Lin Feng's body, flowing into the peach tree.
"Peach tree, oh peach tree, I hope that one day you can grow into the legendary, towering tree that supports the heavens, then my cultivation will not have been in vain." "
Shh, shh, shh,"
Lin Feng poured in his greenish-blue battle qi energy, deliberately adding the strange wood-attribute energy of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. The peach tree seemed to have gained sentience, its leaves trembling gently, making a sound.
"Husband/Lin Feng, we're back!" Just as Lin Feng
was cleansing the peach tree, Zi Yan and Cai Lin appeared at the courtyard gate. They were delighted to see Lin Feng emerge from seclusion.
Upon seeing the two women return, Lin Feng slowly finished his cleansing of the peach tree. Cai Lin, who had just returned, was curious about Lin Feng's actions and asked,
"Husband, what was that just now?"
"Let me tell you, let me tell you!" Seeing Cai Lin's curious gaze, the always lively and active Zi Yan jumped out before Lin Feng could speak.
"Alright, alright, then let our Miss Zi Yan explain!"
Seeing Zi Yan's adorable appearance, Lin Feng didn't stop her, but instead smiled and cooperated.
After giving Lin Feng a "you know what's good for you" look, Zi Yan slowly began, "Sister Cai Lin, the story about this peach tree is quite long!" After Zi Yan
spoke, Lin Feng and Cai Lin remained silent. The three of them surrounded the gleaming peach tree, with only Zi Yan's clear voice echoing in the air, accompanied by the rustling of the peach leaves in the wind.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Shortly after Zi Yan and Cai Lin returned, Little Fairy Doctor also emerged from seclusion. The four decided to take a stroll through the vast inner courtyard. Unfortunately, if Lin Feng hadn't had a pill-refining task to complete, their original plan was to visit the Black Corner Region.
After a few days of sightseeing, Cai Lin and the others entered their cultivation rooms for secluded cultivation, striving to reach a new realm as soon as possible. It's worth mentioning that none of them entered the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.
Cai Lin's realm was too high; even the essence of the strange fire might not have an effect on her, let alone the dispersed power of the flames. Zi Yan's situation was similar; as a magical beast, she disliked the heat of flames, and with Lin Feng's pills, it didn't matter where she was.
As for Little Fairy Doctor, the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower was even more unbearable for her. This was a common weakness of poison masters, naturally restrained by fire attributes. Even though she possessed the Calamity Poison Body, and her poisonous origins were extraordinary, she still disliked fire energy.
Perhaps this situation would only change after she absorbed the Netherworld Poison Fire.
"Hahaha, Elder Lin Feng is truly a genius! He produced a top-quality Breakthrough Pill with his very first move."
"Indeed, with Elder Lin Feng's Breakthrough Pill, the Vice Dean and I will surely be able to reach the Dou Zong realm."
Inside Elder Su Qian's office in the inner courtyard, several figures were laughing loudly. Among them were Vice Dean Hu Qian and Commander Wu Tianlang, who had come to seek Lin Feng's help in refining medicine.
"Elder Lin Feng's help to the academy is truly immense. I thank him again!"
Elder Su Qian looked at the scene before him, filled with emotion. If, with the help of Lin Feng's pills, the academy gained two more Dou Zongs, it would be an invaluable contribution.
"You're all too kind. The academy has helped me a great deal, this is just a way of giving back."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Su Qian and the others exchanged glances and burst into laughter. Bringing this prodigy, Lin Feng, into the academy was truly a wise decision.
Just as they were laughing heartily, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Elder Lin Feng, do you have any extra Breakthrough Pills? I can exchange them for some medicinal herbs."
Elder Huo's voice was filled with eagerness. Having just seen the pills in Hu Qian and the other man's hands, Elder Huo knew that Lin Feng's alchemy skills had reached the peak of the sixth rank. In fact, if given enough opportunity, he might even have begun to break through to the seventh rank of alchemist.
For alchemists, being able to observe high-level pills was a good opportunity to compare their own shortcomings and improve.
"Hahaha, Elder Huo, you're too kind. I've always remembered the help you gave me when I first entered the academy." Lin Feng naturally understood Elder Huo's eagerness and took out another Breakthrough Pill from his storage ring.
His condition was exceptionally good this time when refining pills, and he successfully refined all six portions of medicinal herbs. However, to avoid any misunderstandings from Vice Dean Hu Qian and Commander Wu Tianlang, Lin Feng accepted the medicinal herbs given by Elder Huo.
"In that case, why don't you two go into seclusion in the inner courtyard? Even if you break through, with the barrier set up by the former dean, your aura won't be detected by the people of the Black Corner Region."
Seeing that Hu Qian and his companion were preparing to take their leave after receiving the pills, Elder Su Qian suddenly suggested.
Hu Qian and his companion exchanged a glance and nodded.
"Alright!"
