”This…”

Upon hearing his offer, the two old men looked hesitant.

Since the time of their grandmaster, their faction had always held the positions of president and vice president of the Black Rock City Alchemist Association.

If they left with Lin Feng, those positions would naturally be lost.

”I’m currently a sixth-tier alchemist. As for Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, there are already a few fourth-tier alchemists there. However, I plan to leave for a training journey soon, so I want to cultivate a few fifth-tier alchemists to hold the fort.

The reason I’m inviting you two masters is simply because I don’t want to benefit outsiders. Of course, even if you don’t join Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, I’ll still help you both break through to fifth-tier.”

Lin Feng laid out the situation of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in one go, then quietly waited for their response.

Just as he had said—he was inviting Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo only to keep talent within his circle.

If they agreed, that would be ideal. If not, it wouldn’t affect him much either.

”Sixth-tier?!”

At those words, the four people present were instantly dumbfounded.

Although they had already suspected Lin Feng wasn’t simple when he took out those items earlier, hearing that he was a sixth-tier alchemist still shocked them deeply.

After all, even Gu He, the top alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire, only reached sixth-tier in his forties.

But Lin Feng was only in his twenties!

Realizing this, Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo felt like their decades of life had been lived in vain.

Lin Fei and Xue Mei were thinking the same.

They had thought breaking through to third-tier alchemists by the age of twenty-five was already quite impressive, and had been proud of it.

But now, compared to Lin Feng, all that pride was completely shattered.

Seeing their teachers still hesitating, the usually quiet Xue Mei gently touched the snow-white wings in her hands.

Then she suddenly turned to Fu Lan Ke and said, ”Teacher, staying here makes us feel like frogs at the bottom of a well. Why don’t we go see the outside world with Lin Feng?”

”Teacher, Xue Mei has a point this time. You should agree,” Lin Fei chimed in, putting away the purple wings and tugging Ao Tuo’s sleeve with a playful, coaxing tone.

”You little rascal, always bickering with Xue Mei, but now you agree with her?” Ao Tuo gave her a helpless look and sighed. ”Besides, I never said I wouldn’t agree.”

After all, Lin Feng was a sixth-tier alchemist, and Ao Tuo had heard of the name ”Black-Corner Region” before.

The cultivation resources at Heavenly Treasure Pavilion would surely far surpass those in Black Rock City. Only a fool wouldn’t go.

”Hehe, Lin Feng, my teacher agreed! Now tell me more about this Heavenly Treasure Pavilion of yours~”

With Ao Tuo’s agreement, Lin Fei once again wrapped herself around Lin Feng’s arm, smiling sweetly.

Feeling the soft sensation on his arm, Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, then began explaining the situation of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in detail.

”Lin Feng, I can’t believe you managed to carve out a territory in such a chaotic place!” Lin Fei exclaimed in amazement after hearing his story.

”It wasn’t that big of a deal. A bit of luck helped too.”

After speaking, Lin Feng looked over at Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo. ”Masters, why don’t you take the Supreme King Pills first and attempt to break through to Dou Wang? After that, I’ll help guide you in alchemy.”

”Alright. No time like the present—since we’ve got nothing to do today, we old men will go into seclusion right away. I’ll leave my disciple Xue Mei in your hands for now. After all, since we’re joining Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Xue Mei will too.”

With a strange chuckle, Fu Lan Ke grabbed Ao Tuo and quickly left the room.

”These two old men…”

Watching the two disappear like that, Lin Feng could only shake his head helplessly.

Then, at the suggestion of the two girls, he took them into one of the alchemy rooms in the Alchemist Association and began teaching them alchemy as their instructor.

Clearly, the two had been inspired by Lin Feng and had started to push themselves harder.

However, Lin Feng was more than happy to see this kind of situation.

Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo’s talents were limited—he could only train them up to fifth-tier alchemists, just enough to meet the current needs of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Later on, he would definitely focus on cultivating Lin Fei and Xue Mei instead.

After all, the two girls were only twenty-five years old and were already third-tier alchemists, whereas even Gu He had only reached fourth-tier at around the age of twenty-nine.

In comparison, their talent clearly surpassed Gu He’s.

On the Northwestern Region, such talent was already considered quite outstanding.

With proper training, while it might be difficult to reach eighth-tier, it was at least guaranteed they could become high-level seventh-tier alchemists.

Therefore, Lin Feng naturally intended to prioritize channeling resources into Xue Mei and Lin Fei.

Once they grew strong enough, it would be more than enough for them to hold down the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s operations in the Northwestern Region.

However, what Lin Feng was pondering now… was whether or not he should marry the two girls.

What if, after he poured time and resources into cultivating them, they ended up marrying someone else shortly after becoming successful?

Wouldn’t that mean he had worked so hard just to train up someone else’s seventh-tier alchemist wife?

That would be a massive loss.

After all, the resources needed to cultivate a high-tier alchemist were no small amount.

And judging by the looks of the two girls, if he proposed marriage, they probably wouldn’t reject him.

About half a month later, after Lin Feng’s personal guidance, the two old men Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo successfully broke through to the Dou Wang realm, a level they had dreamed of for so long.

After that, Lin Feng began instructing Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo in the refining of fifth-tier pills.

Although their master had left behind the inheritance of fifth-tier alchemy, it couldn’t compare at all to the hands-on guidance of a peak sixth-tier alchemist like Lin Feng.

Inside a cultivation room, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the stone platform with his eyes closed.

As his breathing gradually stabilized, the space around him began to ripple subtly.

With Flame Mantra continuously operating, strands of powerful Dou Qi drifting through the air were drawn toward him.

They flowed directly through the pores of his skin and poured continuously into his body.

After being refined by the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame, the Dou Qi was transformed into the purest form and integrated into every inch of Lin Feng’s limbs and bones.

This kind of cultivation continued for several hours, and soon, the energy within the room began to fluctuate violently.

Then, brilliant and turbulent waves of multicolored energy surged toward Lin Feng like a tide.

Sensing the sudden shift through his soul power, a faint smile appeared on Lin Feng’s lips.

Such a phenomenon could only mean he was about to break through.

As more and more heaven and earth energy poured into his body, countless cells within began to cheer in silent ecstasy.

But Lin Feng naturally wouldn’t allow this chaotic energy to enter his meridians recklessly.

Instead, he used the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame’s intense heat to refine it first, and only then allowed it to flow through his meridians.

Following the unique meridian route dictated by the Flame Mantra, the refined energy circulated fully before being absorbed completely by his cells, bones, muscles, and other internal systems.

This breakthrough lasted for nearly half a day.

When the final strand of energy flowed into his body, Lin Feng’s eyelids twitched slightly—and then snapped open.

Within those dark eyes, a faint glassy luster flickered.

Feeling the fullness within his body, Lin Feng gently exerted force through his legs and immediately leapt to the doorway of the room.

He pushed open the heavy stone door and stepped outside.

Taking in the fresh air, Lin Feng stretched his body, and a series of cracking sounds rang out from his bones.
