”You brat, you just don’t understand how miserable it is for us souls without a body. We can’t recklessly use our strength in battle, or else we risk falling into a deep sleep. Aside from suffering soul injuries, we can’t even feel much when touching things. Every day, all I can do is hide inside that dark, sunless ring.”

Seeing Lin Feng’s expression, Tian Huo Zun Zhe immediately let out a bitter rant.

It was obvious he had long grown sick of this life as a disembodied soul.

”Alright, alright, I get it. I’ll hurry up and improve my alchemy skills, bring you back to life as soon as possible, okay?”

Seeing the old man chanting on and on, Lin Feng quickly cut him off.

Unknowingly, Xiao Yixian had already walked over. She just smiled quietly at the scene and didn’t interrupt.

Once their conversation ended, Xiao Yixian gently brushed her ring and took out several jade bottles.

”While you were in seclusion, Elder Yao and I managed to capture a few protectors of the Hall of Souls, including two of the Heaven Grade Protectors and three of the Earth Grade Protectors. Of course, Elder Yao and I took quite a long trip, but we didn’t alert the Hall of Souls.”

As she spoke, she handed over the jade bottles, each wrapped in flames of Heavenly Flame, to Lin Feng.

Hearing this, Lin Feng’s face instantly brightened as he laughed, ”Perfect, with these souls, I can finally refine that Flame Wing Sky Falcon into a Sky Demon Puppet.”

At the same time, he reached out and took the bottles from her.

”Hey, hey, Lin Feng brat, you’d better hurry and improve your alchemy. Strive to refine the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill as soon as possible. Once I’m resurrected, we’ll capture those two Dou Zun who ambushed us last time. I’ll deliver them straight to your bed—to your hands—for you to refine into puppets.”

Seeing Lin Feng already thinking about refining a Sky Demon Puppet, Tian Huo Zun Zhe quickly butted in, his voice anxious.

”Ugh, fine, I’ll focus on improving my alchemy first.”

Rolling his eyes at the old man’s excited appearance, Lin Feng replied in annoyance. After that, he began searching inside his ring for a suitable recipe to practice on.

”Got it, the Heart Congealing Pill. You’ll do.”

Before long, Lin Feng pulled out a grayish-white scroll from his ring.

The content recorded within was a recipe for a pill known as the Heart Congealing Pill.

After consuming this pill, one could form a false heart near their real one. If, in battle, one’s true heart was accidentally struck—this false heart would block the fatal blow.

Even if the enemy was strong enough to directly shatter the real heart, the false one would immediately take over its function, sustaining the user’s life and preventing instant death.

Moreover, the substitution was extremely subtle, and when the false heart began functioning, the commotion was minimal.

If the enemy didn’t carefully probe, they might never notice.

Of course, if one encountered bad luck like that Granny Yin or Old Chan Chu—one with her head smashed apart, the other with internal organs burned to ash by Heavenly Flame and pierced through by dou techniques—then, naturally, even a peak seventh-tier Heart Congealing Pill would be of no use.

Lin Feng slowly unrolled the scroll, letting his soul power seep directly into it.

Immediately, streams of vast information poured swiftly into his mind.

As he reviewed the complex recipe within his mind—far more intricate than a high seventh-tier pill—Lin Feng’s brows furrowed slightly.

Even though the Heart Congealing Pill was among the ”easier” peak seventh-tier pills, its complexity still far exceeded his expectations.

”Hu~”

Exhaling lightly, Lin Feng then began searching his ring for the necessary ingredients.

Thanks to the massive trove of supplies he had obtained earlier, he quickly gathered five or six full sets of ingredients.

Next, he took out the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron and began refining.

”Boom!”

Several days later, when Lin Feng had finished purifying the ingredients and was midway through fusion, the thick medicinal liquid suddenly exploded.

The immense force caused the heavy Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron to tremble violently, shooting several meters into the air.

Then, with a loud crash, it smashed back down into the sandy ground.

Several of its legs sank deep into the sand.

Inside the cauldron, those hundred-plus extremely precious medicinal ingredients—

At this moment, everything inside the cauldron had already been blown to nothing but black dust.

”Hu, thank goodness the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron is a treasure ranked on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking. If it had been an ordinary seventh-tier cauldron, I’m not even sure it could have withstood that blast.”

Looking at the crimson cauldron before him, slightly tilted after sinking into the sand, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Although the explosion might not have injured him, it definitely would have left him in an extremely sorry state.

After righting the cauldron, Lin Feng once again pulled out another set of ingredients from his ring and continued refining.

”Boom!”

About half a month later, above the sandy land where Lin Feng was working, dark clouds suddenly gathered, streaks of silver light flashing within.

The scorching midday sun vanished, and the skies instantly turned as dark as midnight.

Seeing this, Lin Feng’s weary expression finally revealed a trace of joy. After more than ten days of hard work and wasting several sets of ingredients.

Today, at last, there were results.

Immediately, he flicked his ring with his finger.

With a faint glimmer of light—

A silver figure appeared at his side.

It was the Earth Demon Puppet, refined from the corpse of Old Ground Demon Ghost.

Lin Feng’s eyes shone with expectation as he gazed at it.

He was eager to see what kind of advancement this peak seventh-tier Pill Lightning would bring to a puppet of Six-Star Dou Zong strength.

At that moment, the thunderous power gathering in the skies above had reached its peak.

”Boom!”

From the rolling black clouds overhead, a deafening clap of thunder roared out.

A silver lightning bolt, thicker than a man’s waist, suddenly descended from the heavens—crashing straight toward the heavy cauldron before Lin Feng!

”Ground Demon, your chance to advance has come. Get up there and block it!”

Seeing this, he immediately ordered.

”Whoosh~”

The instant the order was given, the Earth Demon Puppet charged forth without hesitation, rushing toward the massive bolt of lightning falling from above.

”Bang!”

With an explosive thunderclap, the Earth Demon Puppet smashed head-on into the fierce silver lightning, shattering it into fragments.

But the puppet itself was violently thrown from midair, slamming straight into the sandy ground below.

And even though the lightning had been shattered, it showed no intention of sparing the Earth Demon Puppet.

In the blink of an eye, the fragments turned into countless tiny silver serpents that slithered wildly over its silver metallic body, continuously burrowing inward to erode it from within!

Yet, rather than being damaged, the Earth Demon Puppet’s body only grew sturdier under the tempering of the lightning’s might.

Its silvery surface became purer, while the aura radiating from its body grew even more formidable!
