Chapter 1342 - 1340 Elixir
Chapter 1342 - 1340 Elixir
"Taoist Friend Lin, for us two old fellows to achieve a breakthrough is truly too difficult; we must have a Profound Grade Elixir to succeed. Do you have such an elixir?" Song Hong looked at Lin Feng, utterly astonished in his heart; it turned out Lin Feng was not joking, but speaking the truth. Thinking of this, he immediately explained to Lin Feng, wanting him to understand how difficult breakthrough is at their level.
"It is indeed like this; it is truly too difficult for us to achieve a breakthrough. Otherwise, we two old folks wouldn’t have been stuck for decades without breaking through. I do not know how Taoist Friend Lin plans to assist us. If it is too difficult, just forget it," Xia Yan said, acknowledging Lin Feng, aware of how truly challenging the breakthrough to the Divine Change Realm is. If it’s too difficult, he wouldn’t want to trouble Lin Feng; having given up long ago after so many decades.
"While others might find it difficult, for me, it is really nothing. Don’t forget, I am an Alchemist, and the so-called Profound Grade Elixir, I just happen to be able to refine. Moreover, I have other methods to assist you, greatly increasing your success rate for breakthrough. If nothing goes wrong, this breakthrough will definitely succeed, so you don’t need to worry."
Seeing the two ancestors’ concerns, Lin Feng laughed, explaining to both with a smile. He certainly understood what the two ancestors were thinking, but for him, these were not really problems, hence he explained thoroughly to dispel any doubts they might harbor.
"You are actually a Profound Grade Alchemist!"
"You are a Profound Grade Alchemist!"
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, both ancestors were dumbfounded. Previously, while watching their children fight, consuming various elixirs like they were candy, they felt intrigued. Later, Xia Lalan explained that it was all refined by Lin Feng, but those were relatively low-level Yellow Grade Elixirs, so they hadn’t paid much attention. How could they have thought that Lin Feng was not a Yellow Grade Alchemist, but a Profound Grade Alchemist!
This realization left the two ancestors speechless; a Profound Grade Alchemist hadn’t appeared in the Hidden World for over a thousand years. Now, to suddenly hear that Lin Feng, such a young man, is a Profound Grade Alchemist—who would believe it? Even if Lin Feng were an Immortal, people would be skeptical, as it’s truly unimaginable!
Lin Feng has only reached his twenties; historically, no Profound Grade Alchemist was younger than one or two hundred. Compared to Lin Feng, it’s simply incomparable; they looked at Lin Feng as if he was some super monster. Truly, they couldn’t fathom what on earth Lin Feng’s mind was made of, questioning if it was even human—it’s simply terrifying, beyond terrifying! Know that Lin Feng is a skilled cultivator in the Human Immortal Realm, and just this status alone commands reverence, and now to be a Profound Grade Alchemist—how is anyone supposed to live...
"No need to be so shocked, actually I don’t even know what level of Alchemist I am," Lin Feng replied, watching the two ancestors in shock, his words made them even more speechless. He truly didn’t know what level of Alchemist he was, as he hadn’t had materials to refine before. Recently, he finally managed to gather some and simply wanted to give it a try.
"To you, I truly have nothing more to say."
"Taoist Friend Lin, you really hit people hard!"
On hearing Lin Feng’s words, both ancestors were rendered speechless, looking at Lin Feng with no words. Truly, they had misunderstood Lin Feng’s words, interpreting them as mere humility, perhaps even thinking Lin Feng might even be an Earth Grade Alchemist—it seems plausible when uttering such words.
"Alright, let’s not dwell on this topic any further; let’s go to your cave, it’s quieter there without others disturbing us." Lin Feng advised Xia Yan briefly, then quickly stood up and left; he didn’t want to waste time on such trivial matters. Instead, he wanted to refine the elixir and enhance the two ancestors’ strengths.
The two ancestors, seeing Lin Feng had already gone, had nothing to say and simply followed him. Joyful, they wished to witness firsthand whether Lin Feng could truly refine Profound Grade Elixirs; if successful, they can genuinely attempt a breakthrough...
In the blink of an eye, the three arrived at Xia Yan’s cave. Without needing Lin Feng to ask, the two ancestors sealed the entrance, stood far away from Lin Feng, and dared not utter a word, for fear of interrupting his thoughts and affecting the alchemy process.
Actually, Lin Feng didn’t particularly need a quiet environment, but this was his first time refining such so-called Profound Grade Elixirs, so he exercised caution. After all, he didn’t have many Spiritual Medicines on hand, so could not afford to waste any.
Casually tossing the Pill Furnace onto the ground, Lin Feng prepared to start the process. Yet before beginning, he was interrupted by Xia Yan. Looking at Lin Feng’s worn-out Alchemy Furnace, Xia Yan was speechless. He found it hard to imagine Lin Feng had previously used this dilapidated Furnace to refine elixirs, and without further ado, Xia Yan went over to his bed, retrieved a black furnace from the shelf, and handed it to Lin Feng.
"Use this one; previously, no one realized you were using an initial-level furnace for alchemy. Had I known you didn’t have a furnace, I would have given you this Profound Heart Furnace long ago. Though it looks ugly, it’s a coveted treasure for Alchemists; previously, several Hidden World Alchemists eyed it, but I chased them all away. Don’t refuse me; using it for alchemy gives me and Old Song peace of mind. We wouldn’t want you to ruin the materials with a furnace explosion; am I right?"
Looking at Lin Feng, Xia Yan spoke sincerely. He honestly hadn’t expected Lin Feng to use the most ordinary, even arguably the worst, furnace for alchemy. Now, he truly admired Lin Feng to the utmost; using a furnace prone to explosion, he refined so many elixirs for the children. It’s truly incredible; any average Alchemist would have long exploded the furnace, how could it have lasted till today.
If not having better furnaces was excusable, since he had one he couldn’t let Lin Feng use his old one anymore—it would be a disgrace to Xia Family’s ancestor’s face. Therefore, this furnace today, Lin Feng must accept it; refusal was not an option.
"Taoist Friend Lin, these things mean nothing to us, so you needn’t utter any refusals lest we two old folks lose face." Song Hong added on the side, staring speechlessly at Lin Feng’s old furnace even the Song Family’s apprentice’s furnaces were better than Lin Feng’s. He really was curious how Lin Feng refined alchemy till now with such a lousy furnace.
Looking at the two ancestors, Lin Feng knew their words were true, so he smiled at them and casually took the Profound Heart Furnace. Truly, he wasn’t very concerned about it, as his requirements for a furnace were really low; even using the old one prone to explosion for alchemy posed no issues for him, so much was his confidence. But to put the two old men at ease, Lin Feng didn’t wish to refuse their kind offer.
Subsequently, using his Divine Sense, Lin Feng quickly retrieved the Spiritual Medicine from his Space Ring, placing them on the ground. There were as many as seventeen varieties, stunning Xia Yan and Song Hong. Though they weren’t versed in alchemy, they could recognize some treasures of nature. Yet of the seventeen Spiritual Medicines Lin Feng took out, they recognized only two or three, curiosity stirred within them, wondering what elixir Lin Feng intended to refine.
"Taoist Friend Lin, what elixir are you preparing for us?" Song Hong couldn’t resist asking Lin Feng, genuinely curious about which elixir Lin Feng planned to refine to assist in their breakthrough.
"These are indeed the Spiritual Medicines for two elixirs, namely the Myriad Spirits Creation Pill and the Jade Heart Pill," Lin Feng answered Song Hong mildly. Since he planned to help the two old men breakthrough, it ought to be thorough enough to prevent any mistakes; hence he did his preparations fully to avoid any unexpected incidents.
"What, the Myriad Spirits Creation Pill and the Jade Heart Pill! You... you can refine them?"
"You... I don’t know what to say."
Upon hearing these names, Xia Yan and Song Hong were stunned, for the two elixirs Lin Feng mentioned are renowned, ranked among the high-level Profound Grade. Even during Hidden World Alchemists’ heyday, few could refine them. Almost every cultivator in the Hidden World had heard the legendary names, though only as hearsay, having never seen them. The notion that Lin Feng intended to refine such elixirs was simply too astonishing!
Lin Feng was clueless as to why the two old men were stunned again, smiling and shaking his head, he closed his eyes, while deep crimson Alchemy Fire appeared in both hands. This red, contrasting with other Alchemists’ fire, seemed unique; other Alchemists’ fire was red with hints of white, while Lin Feng’s was red mixed with purple—a type of Alchemy Fire entirely unrecorded.
Watching Lin Feng close his eyes, though feeling immense astonishment, they dared not make a sound lest they disturb Lin Feng’s alchemy preparation. They hadn’t anticipated what transpired next would render them utterly speechless!
Lin Feng, it turned out, had condensed a Seven-Colored Gang Qi Arm behind him. Having seen Lin Feng’s mystical methods before, they simply felt astonished briefly then returned to normal. With Lin Feng’s heaven-defying talent, achieving this was truly remarkable, yet even in their wildest dreams, they hadn’t anticipated what lay ahead. Under their very gaze, Lin Feng’s Gang Qi Arm surprisingly tossed all seventeen kinds of Spiritual Medicine into the furnace!
Witnessing this, the two were utterly dumbfounded. Though unskilled in alchemy, they recognized it as a process requiring steps—no elixir was said to be crafted by throwing all materials in at once. Especially with Lin Feng stating these were ingredients for two elixirs, tossing them all together shouldn’t it cause catastrophe?
At this very moment, their hearts were consumed by shock at Lin Feng’s heaven-defying alchemy method, leaving them without words. If not witnessed firsthand, they couldn’t conceive any Alchemist capable of crafting two elixirs simultaneously in a single furnace—it is simply too heaven-defying, beyond heaven-defying!
