While many alchemists below were recording Lin Feng's movements, Lin Feng was also completely focused, even though he was extremely confident. But if he failed by accident, he would be utterly humiliated.
Therefore, publicly refining pills was not only a test of one's alchemy skills, but also a test of one's mental strength and quick wit in dealing with problems.
After the various medicinal herbs entered the cauldron, Lin Feng's battle qi surged wildly, causing the enhanced Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to burn even more intensely. The result was that, despite Lin Feng's efforts to slow down his refining speed, the medicinal herbs inside the cauldron were still refined at an extremely fast pace. This scene filled Gu He's eyes with fervor.
"A strange fire! Truly worthy of being an alchemist's treasure. It's a pity it's already in Master Lin Feng's hands!" Fa
Ma, who had been watching the scene closely, stroked his beard and smiled slightly upon seeing Gu He's expression. Sensing a faint bluish-green flame within his body, his eyes were filled with emotion.
"Lin Feng is indeed a grateful boy. I only made a small investment back then, and in just a few years, he has not only reached the sixth-grade alchemist realm, but also obtained a rare fire seed."
Indeed, Lin Feng was reminiscing with Fa Ma, thinking that he was now at the Dou Zong realm. Separating a rare fire seed, although it would slightly affect its power, didn't actually have as much of an impact on Lin Feng's combat strength as one might imagine, especially for a Dou Huang realm rare fire.
All his combat power was based on the Five Elements Sealing Technique, and of course, he also had the Five Wheels Fire Separation Technique. With the assistance of a rare fire, the power of this set of combat techniques was also extremely impressive.
Of course, Lin Feng valued the fire control technique of the Five Wheels Fire Separation Technique even more. After some dedicated research, Lin Feng's alchemy, or rather fire control technique, had gradually broken free from Yao Chen's inheritance. This is why the mysterious man, or rather Xiao Yan, found Lin Feng's alchemy techniques somewhat familiar, but wasn't entirely certain.
Time passed, yet none of the people in the arena left, all watching Lin Feng's every move intently. Of course, some business geniuses were already weaving through the crowd, selling various foods.
Judging from the crowd's reaction, this clever little devil was sure to make a good profit today.
Naturally, the many actions in the crowd didn't attract Lin Feng's attention; he had reached a crucial juncture. He had already refined many of the medicinal herbs, and now he had reached the most important stage of alchemy—fusion.
Fusion involves combining the energy clusters from the refined herbs according to the formula and pharmacology. A slight mistake could lead to failure, and even the risk of the cauldron exploding.
At this point, not only Lin Feng, but everyone watching intently held their breath. As for alchemists like Fa Ma and Gu He, if they weren't afraid of interfering with Lin Feng, they would have loved to press their faces against the alchemy cauldron to watch.
Younger alchemists like Xiao Yan and Yao Yue, although completely unable to understand Lin Feng's actions, still strained their eyes, trying to memorize everything they saw so they could use it as inspiration in the future.
Yao Chen, hidden in the storage ring on Xiao Yan's finger, had also been watching Lin Feng's movements and couldn't help but sigh,
"This boy is extraordinary!"
"Boom!"
As if confirming Yao Chen's thoughts, the energy between heaven and earth suddenly became chaotic, and a rich, exotic fragrance appeared from nowhere, filling the entire area in just a few moments.
Seeing this miraculous scene, the crowd didn't erupt in shouts or screams. This was because many Dou Wang experts had already unleashed their Dou Qi wings, standing in the air, protecting Master Lin Feng in the arena. With a
deafening
roar, a massive, visible pillar of energy suddenly rose from the medicine cauldron in front of Lin Feng. Before anyone could even see it clearly, it had already rapidly ascended into the sky.
Some sharp-eyed passersby even noticed a wisp of dark cloud appear in the sky, but it vanished in an instant. These observant passersby rubbed their eyes, thinking they had imagined it.
However, for experienced sixth-grade alchemists like Fa Ma and Gu He, this scene was utterly horrifying.
"This...this is the phenomenon before the gathering of pill lightning?"
Gu He exclaimed in shock, while Fa Ma beside him was also speechless with astonishment.
Lin Feng, who had been watching closely, sighed almost imperceptibly, "So, he still lacks some foundation?"
Of course, the crowd didn't think that far ahead. The arena erupted in uncontrollable cheers. Many of the noblewomen were already flushed with excitement, some even nearly fainting. Fortunately, their companions weren't just casual acquaintances.
Otherwise, in this chaos, they might very well have encountered an unknown level of combat skill—a "perverted hand"!
And numerous utterances of "being kept" and similar phrases echoed from the crowd, unstoppable by the guards trying to maintain order. Above the medicine cauldron in front of Lin Feng, a radiant energy ball slowly floated—this was the peak sixth-grade pill, the Breakthrough Pill!
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
After the pill was finished, Lin Feng held the floating Breakthrough Pill in his right hand, facing the densely packed, excited figures in the plaza, and spoke slowly. He even unconsciously used a slight sonic combat technique after noticing the fervor in the crowd's eyes.
Seeing that the crowd was indeed intimidated, Lin Feng nodded almost imperceptibly, then spoke again.
"Do you all remember the lottery that President Fa Ma mentioned before the alchemy began? Now, it's time for me to fulfill my promise!"
"Master Lin Feng, choose me! Choose me!"
"Master Lin Feng, I'll have your babies!"
"Tch, how could Master Lin Feng have your babies? If anyone should have babies, it should be me!"
"What did you say, you damned, seductive slut!"
"What?! You actually called me a slut?! I'll fight you to the death!
"
As the two noblewomen began to fight, everyone around focused their attention on them, watching their every move intently. It seemed as if their actions contained some kind of Heavenly Rank combat technique.
These two fighting noblewomen were the same two who had just been accused of having a genuine, albeit superficial, friendship.
Fortunately, the guards maintaining order were quick-witted; seeing this, they immediately dispatched two female guards to separate them.
