With a light flick of his spatial ring, Lin Feng retrieved the crimson-colored Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron.

Taking a deep breath, he focused his mind and activated the Falling Heart Flame within his body.

At once, he raised his palm slightly, and a formless flame appeared in the center of his palm.

Since this was Lin Feng’s first time refining soul essence, and unsure of whether he would succeed or fail, he decided to proceed cautiously.

This time, he would only try refining a few soul remnants to test the waters.

Curling his finger slightly, he flicked open the stopper of one of the jade bottles using Dou Qi.

With the Falling Heart Flame seal at the bottle’s opening removed, the nine souls inside—though lacking full consciousness—were instinctively compelled to escape.

Gazing at these soul remnants, which were too weak in soul power to form self-awareness,

Lin Feng manipulated the formless flame in his palm to rise into the air, swiftly weaving a large fire net.

It instantly surged forward, wrapping around them all.

”Ssshh~”

The moment the flame came into contact with the soul remnants, a faint white mist began to seep from their nearly transparent forms, accompanied by a constant sizzling sound.

Along with that came the powerless struggles and howls of the soul fragments.

Though they were far too weak to possess intelligence, the unique trait of the Falling Heart Flame—its direct effect on souls—made them feel unbearable burning pain.

One after another, they desperately charged at the fire net, trying to break free from the formless flame that surrounded them.

Sigh...

Watching the agonized wails of the souls, Lin Feng let out a soft sigh.

Even if he didn’t refine them, these soul remnants would dissipate before long regardless—but at least that way, the process wouldn’t be so painful.

Then, thinking of the cruel survival laws of the Dou Qi Continent, Lin Feng’s gaze hardened again as he began to contract the formless fire net.

The soul fragments, under the pressure of the Falling Heart Flame, were forced tightly together.

When the fire net compressed into a round shape about the size of a football, the soul remnants inside had already been condensed into a gray orb.

And under the blazing flames, their bodies began to slowly melt away.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately tossed the gray orb into the cauldron and began the refinement process.

The formless flame, empowered by the unique amplification effect of the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron, grew even hotter.

The gray orb rapidly shrank in size.

A faint white mist emitted from it, filling the vast interior of the cauldron—it looked rather strange.

This process lasted for less than ten minutes before the gray soul remnants inside had completely disappeared.

In their place was an extremely small, chaotic-looking gas.

Within that wisp of gas, Lin Feng could clearly sense a trace of soul power—subtle, but extremely dense.

”This is... soul essence? Looks like I succeeded this time.”

Seeing that invisible, colorless gas, a gleam of excitement flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes.

If this method could indeed enhance his soul power, then his path to becoming a higher-tier alchemist would become much smoother.

With a wave of his palm, that wisp of invisible gas fell into his hand.

Clutching it with excitement, Lin Feng brought it close to his forehead.

The moment the gas touched him, he could feel a powerful surge of greed rising from the depths of his soul.

In the blink of an eye, that trace of soul essence was absorbed directly into his brow.

Immediately afterward, Lin Feng sensed the soul power deep in his sea of consciousness rush forth and devour it completely.

A wave of extreme mental clarity and refreshment surged through Lin Feng’s heart.

This smooth and exhilarating sensation was almost comparable to the time he had made children with Medusa.

”This soul essence really is something extraordinary. Even though this tiny wisp only brought a minor improvement to my soul power, if I had a large quantity of soul essence...”

Feeling the enhancement in his soul power, Lin Feng clenched his fists and muttered excitedly.

Immediately afterward, his Dou Qi manipulated the Heavenly Flame once more to form a fire net, enveloping the surrounding heaven and earth.

Then, with a gentle touch of Dou Qi, he unsealed all of the over one hundred jade bottles.

”Damn you, you bastard! We only tried to rob you a little—was it necessary to kill us and even imprison our souls afterward?”

Some of the souls, upon seeing Lin Feng, instantly began to curse him.

Although the majority of the souls were too weak to develop intelligence,

Some of the people Lin Feng had killed were alchemists.

Their soul power was relatively strong, so even after leaving their physical bodies, they were still able to form intelligence.

As soon as they saw Lin Feng, they began cursing endlessly.

However, Lin Feng had no intention of indulging them. The formless fire net that enveloped the surroundings immediately contracted under his control.

The souls that touched the net, just like those before them, emitted large amounts of white mist and wailed in pain as the fire burned through them.

”My lord! I shouldn’t have cursed you earlier. You’re a magnanimous man—please spare this lowly one just this once!”

Those who had been shouting curses at Lin Feng earlier, upon realizing the terrifying power of the formless fire net, mostly chose to submit and beg for mercy.

However, a small number of souls only cursed more viciously and spitefully.

Lin Feng completely ignored their words.

He simply continued calmly controlling the Falling Heart Flame, carrying on with his refining process.

Then, he repeated the earlier steps.

He compressed nearly a thousand souls into a near-black sphere.

Once it was fully formed, Lin Feng immediately tossed it into the cauldron.

Then, relying on the intense heat of the Falling Heart Flame, he began refining those souls.

The refining process lasted several hours.

Eventually, he successfully refined all of the souls completely.

What he obtained was a colorless ball of gas about the size of his pinky finger.

”Heh, this batch of soul essence is far stronger than the previous one. Hopefully, it’ll push my soul power another step forward.”

Gazing at the soul essence, Lin Feng chuckled softly and then brought it to his forehead.

As this highly soul-attracting soul essence approached his brow, a surge of intense craving once again erupted from deep within Lin Feng’s soul.

The moment the ball of gas touched his brow, it was swiftly absorbed into his forehead.

Then, Lin Feng clearly sensed that streams of extremely pure origin soul power were pouring steadily into his soul.

Under the nourishing effect of this soul essence, which was many times more potent than the last one, a faint, intoxicated expression appeared on Lin Feng’s face.

Bathed in the gentle embrace of this most refined origin soul power, he felt as though his soul was like a fetus nestled within the womb.

And his soul power was rapidly growing at a delightful rate.
