Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1702 - 1684: Exchanging Herbs for Elixirs

"With me here, Boss Lin can absolutely rest assured." The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast heard Lin Feng’s praise and immediately spoke up. It was genuinely happy to receive such compliments from Lin Feng, but then suddenly remembered something. Lin Feng probably didn’t come to the Lost Forest just to see it, so it immediately asked, "Boss Lin, is there anything else you need to do in the Lost Forest this time?"

"Indeed, there is something." Lin Feng nodded and continued, "I plan to let the kids come to the Lost Forest to stay with you for a while, to learn a few things from you, and improve their combat abilities. Additionally, I want you to help me find some Seven Stars Stones; I need them."

The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast listened to Lin Feng and promptly responded, "The Seven Stars Stones are too few. Currently, there are only thirty pieces in the Lost Forest, brought over by those Exotic Monster Beasts. If you need many, I suggest you visit the Secret Realm over there. I suspect there should be a lot in that Secret Realm. As for the kids coming to the Lost Forest for training, there’s no problem at all."

The Seven Stars Stones are indeed very few; initially, there were only two in the Lost Forest, but the Exotic Monster Beasts brought over twenty-eight more. If Lin Feng wants to find Seven Stars Stones, entering that Secret Realm is the correct way, and as for the kids coming here to train, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast isn’t worried at all. At worst, it will accompany the kids from Old Three to Old Ten; regardless, they will ensure they’re well-trained.

"The Exotic Monster Beasts’ Secret Realm?"

"That place?"

The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger couldn’t help but ask at this moment. They never expected the Seven Stars Stones to be in that Secret Realm. Remembering how those Exotic Monster Beasts wreaked havoc back then, both of them held a grudge against them. If they really could enter that Secret Realm with Lin Feng, they could unleash their fury.

"Yes, I was stunned when I first saw those Seven Stars Stones. But after investigating, I learned that these Seven Stars Stones have auxiliary cultivation benefits for the Exotic Monster Beasts, which is why I say the Secret Realm should have plenty. With about a hundred Exotic Monster Beasts coming out last time and twenty-eight stones, one can only imagine how many are in that Secret Realm; it must be a stellar number."

The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast quickly added upon hearing the questioning tone of the two Great Demons. Indeed, it was as it said: Seven Stars Stones are very few in the ordinary world, yet in that Secret Realm, they aren’t considered rare items. But no one dares enter that Secret Realm, except Lin Feng and the two Great Demons who have the capability to go in.

"Alright, I understand now. I’ll take a tour in there later. By the way, is there anything in the Lost Forest that needs assistance? I want you all to enhance your abilities quickly. If the Space Passage opens, connecting Earth and the Immortal Realm, the Demon Beasts from there will invade. I’m worried you won’t have the strength to resist."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement, indicating he would definitely check out that Secret Realm, although not now. He then asked the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast if there was anything needing help, aiming to handle all matters as fully as possible before leaving the Lost Forest.

"It’s difficult to boost strength, Boss Lin. You know, although we produce a lot of Spiritual Medicine in the Lost Forest, us Demon Beasts can’t do Alchemy, nor can we find specific Elixirs targeting Demon Beasts. If an Alchemist could create Elixirs for us, our strength would improve swiftly. The difference in efficacy between directly consuming Spiritual Medicine and consuming Elixirs is immense."

At the mention of this, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast was extremely frustrated. It was genuinely bothered by the fact that Demon Beasts, due to their innate limitations, can’t refine Elixirs like humans can. Even if they reach the Demon Immortal level and transform into human form, it still wouldn’t work. If they could refine Elixirs, their strength would likely enhance faster than humans’, as Demon Beasts have superior physical attributes and can withstand stronger medicinal effects, fully utilizing the potion’s medicinal power.

"Boss, if you could help, please find a way!"

"What the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast says is true."

The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger also chimed in, not saying much more than what was necessary, simply hoping Lin Feng understood their meaning. They trusted Lin Feng to definitely find a solution to this matter, and if resolved, it would be a monumental boon for the Lost Forest.

Lin Feng nodded after hearing this, finding the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast’s suggestion very feasible. However, it was impossible for him to refine Elixirs himself. After a brief contemplation, he addressed the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast, "How about this, you come with me to the Holy Wind Sect later, I’ll take you to the Alchemy Hall to meet Lanlan. You two can discuss things. You Demon Beasts provide Spiritual Medicine, and the Alchemy Hall can refine Elixirs for you; the specifics of the exchange can be negotiated."

"What! Ah! Boss Lin, you... you can actually arrange this, it... it’s so wonderful, how can I thank you enough..." The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast was momentarily stunned upon hearing Lin Feng, then excitedly roared, while walking closer to Lin Feng, with eyes gleaming bright green!

"Stop, if you don’t shut up, consider what I just said undone." Lin Feng observed the excited demeanor of the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast and immediately shouted. He didn’t want to be targeted by the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast, as it definitely wasn’t a desirable situation. There’s always the possibility of being talked into confusion by this creature.

"Boss Lin..." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast restrained the words it wanted to say, looking at Lin Feng with a particularly poignant gaze. It merely wanted to express some gratitude, but...

"Right, since you two are out now, let me instruct you: the Sacred Beast Hall at the Sect is prepared for you Demon Beasts. You two will be the masters of the Sacred Beast Hall, selecting some potential and strong Demon Beasts to join it. Including the Lost Forest, you’ll manage it all." Lin Feng suddenly remembered this and addressed the two Great Demons. The Sacred Beast Hall is meant for Demon Beasts, led by the two Great Demons, which is sensible and would suppress those Demon Beasts.

"Understood! Leave it to us, no worries."

"Alright, we know what to do."

The two Great Demons responded immediately to Lin Feng’s arrangements, intending to do as instructed. Anyway, they didn’t need to stay put all the time; they just needed to delegate suitable tasks, while they themselves continued to follow Lin Feng.

"Then that’s it for now. You three guys get into my Space Ring." Seeing no more issues, Lin Feng gestured for the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast and the two Great Demons to enter the Space Ring. The three Demon Beasts obeyed Lin Feng’s command and entered the Space Ring, after which Lin Feng stepped away.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Feng arrived at the Alchemy Hall, finding Xia Lalan who was busy with Alchemy. He handed her a book of Alchemy Prescriptions, which left Xia Lalan startled, not understanding Lin Feng’s motives. But when she saw the Elixir introduced in the Alchemy Prescription, she was even more puzzled.

"Elixirs for Demon Beasts, what’s the meaning of this?" Xia Lalan asked Lin Feng, feeling quite perplexed as to why he’d suddenly give her prescriptions for Demon Beasts.

"Here’s the situation: I just went to the Lost Forest, where the Demon Beasts need Elixirs, and we need Spiritual Medicine. It’s serendipitous that we can complement each other. You first check the prescription and then negotiate with their representative." Lin Feng explained straightforwardly, allowing Xia Lalan to understand the situation without delay.

"Got it!" Xia Lalan immediately understood what was happening upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. Such a situation was indeed a highly favorable arrangement for the Alchemy Hall, which consumed far too much Spiritual Medicine. If the Lost Forest provided Spiritual Medicine, the Alchemy Hall’s hunger for Spiritual Medicine would be exceptionally alleviated.

After explaining, Xia Lalan concentrated on studying the prescription in her hand, while Lin Feng stood aside, contemplating other matters without uttering a word. A little over two hours later, Xia Lalan spoke to Lin Feng, "Alright, I’ve got a rough idea. Let me discuss with them."

With a wave of Lin Feng’s hand, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast instantly appeared in Xia Lalan’s room, happily exclaiming upon seeing her, "Miss Lanlan, do you recognize me?"

The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast seemed eager to keep talking upon seeing Xia Lalan, but Lin Feng interrupted, "Cut the chatter, get straight to the point!"

"Alright, I’ll get to the point then. Miss Lanlan, what do you think?"

"There’s plenty of Spiritual Medicine in the Lost Forest. Let me suggest: you provide Spiritual Medicine for ten portions of low-rank Elixirs, and I can give you four portions of low-rank Demon Beast Elixirs. As for high-rank Elixirs, their success rate is quite low, you provide Spiritual Medicine for ten portions of high-rank Elixirs, and I can give you one portion of high-rank Demon Beast Elixirs."

"Ah... is the discrepancy that big?"

"Don’t jump to conclusions; take a look at this prescription and you’ll understand."

"Ah... Beast Soul Pill is only a low-rank Demon Beast Elixir? Oh heavens, there’s... there’s the Demon Spirit Body Refining Pill too..."

"Got it?"

"I see, turns out humans were really swindling us in the past. We thought Beast Soul Pills were high-grade Elixirs..."

...

The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast had a delightful negotiation with Xia Lalan. During the negotiation, it realized how much it had been deceived before and understood the value of an Alchemist, which was unfathomable. Although the shares Xia Lalan promised seemed small, compared to previous exchanges with other humans for Elixirs, it was vastly superior - simply incomparable.

Nevertheless, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast wanted to secure more benefits for the Demon Beasts of the Lost Forest, so it initiated further negotiations with Xia Lalan. The negotiations went on for more than two hours, leaving the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast extremely exasperated as there was no progress at all during the negotiations, ultimately agreeing to Xia Lalan’s terms reluctantly.
