Upon hearing the words, Lin Feng also turned his gaze toward the white-robed elder nearby.

Sensing Lin Feng’s eyes on him, the Han Clan’s Grand Elder quickly cupped his fists respectfully toward Lin Feng.

After all, Lin Feng was a mid seventh-tier alchemist—someone he absolutely couldn’t afford to act arrogantly toward.

Seeing the elder’s courteous attitude, Lin Feng also returned the gesture with a cupped fist salute—considered a formal greeting.

”Master Lin Feng, now that you’ve successfully refined the pill today, I was thinking of hosting a celebration banquet this evening. What do you think?”

After the brief greeting, Han Chi stated his plan for the celebration.

Hearing this, Lin Feng understood the elder’s intention, but he didn’t refuse.

Instead, he gave a light nod and replied, ”I’ll attend.”

As soon as Lin Feng agreed, the smile on Han Chi’s face grew even wider.

He waved his hand and gave an order to the Han Clan members nearby, ”Go prepare immediately. I want everything ready before nightfall, understand?”

”Yes, sir!”

The others responded loudly. Every member of the Han Clan understood what kind of benefits a seventh-tier alchemist could bring to their clan, so they quickly rushed off to begin preparations for the banquet.

The reason for Han Chi’s excitement was clear.

Because starting today, their Han Clan’s greatest rival in Tianbei City—the Hong Clan of the Northern District—would find it extremely difficult to target them anymore.

After all, that Hong Chen had only entered the Northern Pavilion of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, not the main Wind Lightning Pavilion itself.

The Wind Lightning Pavilion was divided into four regional pavilions: East, West, South, and North.

Among them, the East Pavilion was where the Pavilion Master resided.

The West, South, and North Pavilions were established to better manage subordinate forces located farther away.

For these sub-pavilions, the Wind Lightning Pavilion would typically assign an Eight-Star or even Nine-Star Dou Zong as Pavilion Master.

So any one of these pavilions alone had enough power to rank as a first-class force in the Northern Region of Central Plains.

And all four together could rival some of the top-tier forces—making the Wind Lightning Pavilion a true behemoth in the region.

Even so, when faced with a seventh-tier alchemist, even an elder of the Northern Pavilion would have to tread carefully.

Let alone Hong Chen, who was just an ordinary disciple.

Late at night, after the banquet had ended, Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian returned to the private courtyard the Han Clan had arranged for them.

After settling Xiao Yixian down, Lin Feng went to the cultivation room connected to his chamber.

He walked to the center of the stone platform and sat cross-legged, then eagerly retrieved a dark-golden scroll from his storage ring.

”Mid-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique: Myriad Steel Tempering Technique!”

As his gaze swept across the scroll, several large characters immediately appeared before his eyes.

He silently recited them once in his heart, then slowly unrolled the scroll.

”This Dou Technique is a Dou Technique—and yet, not quite.”

”Its purpose lies in the body itself. It enhances one’s physical constitution rather than directly improving short-term combat power. Moreover, it requires a vast amount of cultivation resources. Therefore, think carefully before deciding to train in it.”

”Once cultivated, this technique allows the user to forge a unique defensive steel body through its secret method, enhancing the body’s durability and resistance.”

”This Steel Body is divided into three tiers: Hundred Steel, Thousand Steel, and Myriad Steel.”

”Anyone who obtains this Dou Technique and wishes to cultivate it should ideally collect the following: three portions of metal-type magic beast blood essence, three metal-type magic beast cores, and eighty-eight rare medicinal ingredients including Fusion Fruit.”

”Once these ingredients are prepared into a medicinal bath, the cultivator must immerse themselves in it and use the method detailed within the scroll to temper and strengthen their body!”

”During this process, the scroll itself must also be immersed into the medicinal bath. This will release a sealed trace of Golden Steel Qi embedded within it. The cultivator must seize this moment to absorb the qi into their body, using it to refine their constitution and form the initial Steel Body. The initial body grade formed depends on the quality of the materials used.”

”After that, one must not grow complacent. Continue to gather metal-type beast blood and cores, refine more medicinal solutions, and persist in body tempering to evolve the Steel Body further!”

”If one reaches the highest level—Myriad Steel Body—then even a Dou Zun below mid-level would find it difficult to harm them. And if paired with Defense Dou Techniques, the unleashed power could be utterly world-shaking!”

”Take note—this Dou Technique is Mid-Grade Earth Class. Its power is immense, but so too is its difficulty. If the practitioner has never cultivated other low-level body refining techniques or undergone any baptism by heavenly treasures, it is advised to proceed with caution!”

”What a fine technique…”

After reading all the information, a satisfied smile surfaced on Lin Feng’s face.

If an ordinary person had obtained this scroll, they would likely have scoffed at it.

But for someone like Lin Feng—who was actively seeking to strengthen his body—it was a perfect fit.

Without delay, Lin Feng began searching through the Serene Sea Storage Ring, meticulously cross-checking the medicinal materials listed on the scroll.

Before long, a wide variety of rare ingredients were laid out neatly on the stone slab before him.

”I wonder… with these ingredients, what level of Steel Body can I forge?”

Sweeping his gaze across the items, Lin Feng then began drawing out large numbers of jade bottles from his storage ring.

The moment the bottles appeared, he swiftly summoned the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame, wrapping every single one of them in emerald-green fire.

Under the scorching, high-temperature flames, the jade bottles quickly melted into a single large mass of thick, viscous liquid.

Then, under Lin Feng’s precise control...the snow-white liquid jade condensed rapidly into the shape of a bathtub.

Seeing it take form, the blazing emerald flames withdrew like a tide, surging back into Lin Feng’s body.

Once the intense heat dissipated and the shape completely solidified, Lin Feng began refining the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, tossing them one by one into the tub.

To be clear, the medicinal bath for cultivating this Dou Technique technically didn’t require refining.

But as an experienced alchemist, Lin Feng naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to just toss raw ingredients in.

Refining the herbs first significantly increased their effectiveness, making the whole process much more efficient.

The only slightly time-consuming step was refining the three Rank 7 metal-type magic beast cores.

Other than that, the rest of the ingredients were manageable.

After merging all the ingredients together, the originally white medicinal liquid inside the tub became vibrant and colorful, filled with flowing hues of seven shades.

At the same time, the energy within the bath grew increasingly violent.

Yet Lin Feng acted as though he didn’t notice, continuing undeterred. He pulled out a massive jade bottle, easily holding ten liters.

Inside was bright crimson blood, and within that blood… faint strands of golden light shimmered.

This was blood essence taken from Rank 7 metal-type magic beasts.

Glancing at the jade bottle, Lin Feng unplugged it and began pouring.

With a series of splashes, all of the blood was emptied into the tub.

In an instant, the already violent medicinal energy surged again, becoming even more chaotic and explosive.

After pouring in three bottles of beast blood essence, the medicinal bath for cultivating the Myriad Steel Tempering Technique was finally complete.

Gazing at the churning, wildly unstable bath, Lin Feng stripped off his robe without hesitation and leapt in.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the custom-forged medicinal liquid and immediately began circulating Dou Qi according to the method recorded in the technique scroll.

In the very next moment, he felt a violent wave of energy surge in through his pores, ceaselessly flooding into his body.

The unrestrained, violent energy within the bath rampaged through his insides, wreaking havoc.

The intense pain that followed made it feel like every part of his body was being torn apart.
