As the pill took shape, waves of tangible energy ripples continuously crashed against the inner walls of the cauldron.

The clear and crisp sound, like the tolling of a bell, rang out incessantly.

Seeing that the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron had managed to block out seventy to eighty percent of that energy, Lin Feng couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

”As expected of a cauldron on the Heaven Cauldron Ranking. It was able to withstand the majority of the energy impact from a peak sixth-tier pill.”

Watching the gusts of wind continuously blasting out from within the crimson cauldron, Lin Feng smiled and sighed with emotion.

But he knew that the truly powerful energy wave was still yet to come.

Looking around the room, Lin Feng was now curious whether the walls of the alchemy room could withstand the energy shockwave from the Mighty Huang Pill.

If they could, that would be acceptable.

But if they couldn’t—hmph—then he would personally summon the one responsible for constructing this room, and invite him and his entire family for a little ”trip” to another world.

After all, Lin Feng’s money wasn’t so easily taken.

As he drifted into such thoughts, a sudden burst of pale yellow light erupted from within the cauldron in front of him.

The blinding yellow glow instantly dispersed the bluish flame light inside the cauldron.

As the yellow glow surged violently, a thunderous explosion echoed out of thin air within the relatively small room.

Then, a pale yellow pillar of light, nearly two zhang thick, suddenly shot up from within the cauldron, blasting straight toward the black stone ceiling above Lin Feng’s head!

”Seems like it’s the real deal. That guy wasn’t completely stupid.”

Watching as the specially made black stone completely blocked the light pillar, Lin Feng muttered to himself.

As the light pillar gradually faded away, the pale yellow pill inside the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron finally appeared in Lin Feng’s sight.

With a strand of Dou Qi, he drew it out and pulled it gently into his palm.

His fingers pinched the pill that had taken him several days to refine.

Looking at its smooth and round shape, a faint smile surfaced on Lin Feng’s face.

Even though all were sixth-tier alchemists, the ability to refine the Mighty Huang Pill clearly drew a line between two worlds.

For those who couldn’t refine it, even Dou Huang-level experts, though respectful, wouldn’t go so far as to lower their status.

But if someone could refine it—then even Dou Huang powerhouses would act like devoted lapdogs.

After all, the Mighty Huang Pill and the Zong Breaking Pill were the lifelong pursuits of many Dou Huang experts!

There was no need to elaborate on the Mighty Huang Pill—it could save a Dou Huang an enormous amount of cultivation time, instantly raising their strength by one to two stars.

And the residual medicinal power could even temper the body, increasing battle strength.

As for the Zong Breaking Pill, although it couldn’t directly raise one’s level…

It could, at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, increase the chance of breaking through to Dou Zong by 10%.

Don’t underestimate that mere 10% boost.

You have to understand—it was something countless peak Dou Huangs yearned for but could not obtain.

Moreover, even if your luck was poor and you failed to break through despite that 10% boost…

The medicinal power of the Zong Breaking Pill could stabilize your cultivation, preventing your Dou Qi from going berserk due to failure and dropping your level.

Without this pill, a failed breakthrough could drop you down to an Eight-Star Dou Huang…

And to cultivate all the way back to the peak? Who knows how many years it would take.

Therefore, the importance of the Zong Breaking Pill… went without saying.

After examining the pill for a long while, Lin Feng sealed it in a jade bottle and stored it away in his ring.

Then, after a moment of thought, he sighed lightly in disappointment. ”This Mighty Huang Pill is certainly valuable, but using it to trade for that Rank 8 Heaven Demon Phoenix corpse in Mo Tianxing’s hands… probably won’t be enough. Even if the people of the Black Emperor Sect don’t realize it’s the corpse of a Rank 8 Heaven Demon Phoenix.”

Although, in the original work, during the auction in Black Emperor City…

The Black Emperor Sect and the others claimed it was the dried corpse of a Rank 7 magic beast about to step into the Rank 8.

But later, when Xiao Yan refined the Heaven Soul Blood Bone Pill, he used its essence blood.

Su Qian had seen it and said that it was the blood of a Rank 8 magic beast.

Moreover, during the Four Pavilion Grand Meeting in Central Plains, Feng Qing’er had also said that it was the essence blood of a pureblood Rank 8 Heaven Demon Phoenix.

Therefore, although Lin Feng had not yet seen the desiccated corpse, he was still more inclined to believe Feng Qing’er’s words.

After all, she was a member of the Sky Demon Phoenix clan.

On the Dou Qi Continent, there likely wasn’t anyone more knowledgeable about the Sky Demon Phoenix than them.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and ultimately decided to attempt refining a Zong Breaking Pill now.

With the level of this pill, trading for that Heaven Demon Phoenix corpse should be more than enough.

In fact, the Black Emperor Sect might even have to add something extra on top.

After all, in others’ eyes, that corpse was merely the remains of a Rank 7 magic beast.

Whether or not there was anything special inside it was uncertain, and it certainly wasn’t worth a Zong Breaking Pill, which was comparable to a seventh-tier pill.

Coming back to himself, Lin Feng took out a scroll of exceptional quality.

The content recorded within was precisely the refining method for the Zong Breaking Pill.

He closed his eyes and pressed the scroll to his forehead.

Then, his soul power seeped in, reading the information inscribed within.

A moment later, all the knowledge regarding this pill had been imprinted fully into his mind.

After digesting the contents of the pill formula, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes and began searching through his Serene Sea Storage Ring.

One by one, finely crafted white jade boxes appeared on the ground.

The medicinal ingredients required for the Zong Breaking Pill began to be gradually assembled.

Not long after, Lin Feng had gathered a complete set of materials required to refine this pill.

Unlike last time, this time the Zong Breaking Pill required only about ten kinds of herbs.

While the quantity had indeed decreased significantly, the quality had increased even more.

The total value of these dozen or so rare medicinal ingredients was far higher than the cost of the several dozen herbs needed for the Mighty Huang Pill.

After checking and confirming everything was correct, Lin Feng summoned the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame and tossed it once again into the pill cauldron.

Then, with a flick of his hand, a snow-white jade box that emitted a hint of cold aura

landed precisely into his palm.

Opening the lid, a withered branch that looked like an ice sculpture lay quietly inside the box.

Although its appearance was far from pleasant, the rich medicinal fragrance wafting from within made it clear—this was no ordinary item.

This branch-like medicinal herb was called the Cold Marrow Branch.

It grew in regions of extreme cold and was formed from highly pure cold-elemental energy.

If an ice-elemental cultivator refined and absorbed it, it would slightly enhance the chill of their Dou Qi.

Therefore, even in the eyes of an Ice-attributed Dou Huang, this was a valuable treasure.

If not for the few stalks contributed by Han Feng, it would have taken Lin Feng considerable effort to obtain it himself.
