After all, when the very first Tower Master of the Pill Tower invited the Ye Clan ancestor to jointly establish the Pill Tower, the Ye Clan was at the peak of its power.

But with the Ye Clan’s decline, those high-tier alchemy techniques left behind by the strong were inevitably coveted by others. After all, whoever swallowed the Ye Clan whole, once they had fully digested it in the future, their strength would skyrocket.

After settling the details of their transaction, Lin Feng immediately continued, ”There is something I need recently, I wonder if Elder Ye Zhong could help me keep an eye out for it?”

”Oh? I don’t know what medicinal ingredient Mister Lin Feng requires? Although my Ye Clan has declined, our collection of medicinal ingredients is still fairly abundant. As long as it’s not something extremely rare, my Ye Clan can bring it out.”

Hearing this, Ye Zhong couldn’t help but speak with a trace of pride.

”What I need is called Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.”

Lin Feng calmly voiced the item he wanted. When Ye Zhong heard this name, he was stunned for a moment.

After pondering for a while, he finally frowned and said, ”That Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva can only be produced from the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. Because its uses are limited, the quantity in existence is also quite small. My Ye Clan does not have such a thing in our collection.”

”No problem, Elder Ye Zhong, just help me keep an eye out. If anyone else puts it up for trade, that will do.”

Lin Feng was not particularly disappointed at his response, and immediately added on.

After all, he had not expected the Ye Clan to be able to produce Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva right away. At this time, Ye Zhong also reminded him, ”Mister Lin Feng, because the quantity of Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva is so scarce, its price will definitely not be low.”

”No problem. Since I want it, naturally I am aware of the cost.”

Saying that, Lin Feng lightly brushed the azure-colored ring on his finger, and took out a jade bottle. He flicked it over while speaking, ”This is a three-colored eighth-tier pill. If Elder Ye Zhong comes across Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, just help me trade it directly for this.”

The prices here were, on average, lower than in the Western Wasteland Desert. Therefore, a three-colored eighth-tier pill in exchange for Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva was more than enough.

”Eighth-tier pill?!”

Hearing this, Ye Zhong carefully caught the jade bottle flying over, and looked at it closely.

As a seventh-tier alchemist, and also the Grand Elder of one of the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower, the Ye Clan, his experience naturally wasn’t shallow. After studying it carefully, he confirmed that this pill was indeed a genuine eighth-tier pill!

Immediately, he lifted his head again and looked at Lin Feng, then said, ”Since Mister Lin Feng is prepared, then tomorrow I will send letters to some factions who still maintain good relations with my Ye Clan, and also make inquiries for you within the Pill Tower.”

”Then I’ll have to trouble Elder Ye Zhong.”

Seeing him agree, Lin Feng smiled lightly and cupped his hands. He then continued, ”I wonder if there is a quiet place nearby? I intend to enter seclusion to refine alchemy and practice Dou Techniques, so I will need a peaceful location.”

”Alchemy?”

At this, Ye Zhong immediately laughed and said, ”My Ye Clan has a rather unique place, called the Sun Fire Ancient Altar. During the daytime, the sunlight in the sky gathers there. And within the altar, there is an earth eye that leads straight down into the depths of the earth.

Occasionally, some seedlings of Core Heart Flame drift out from that earth eye. But when these seedlings of Core Heart Flame come into contact with the condensed sunlight, they merge into a type of flame. My Ye Clan calls it Sun Flame.”

”This Sun Flame, although not a Heavenly Flame, is still far more powerful than ordinary beast flames. Some of my Ye Clan’s ancestors often used this Sun Flame when refining pills, to raise the success rate. Unfortunately, this Sun Flame cannot last for long, and will automatically disperse. But even so, for refining pills, it is still an exceptional place.”

Speaking of this, a trace of bitterness also surfaced on Ye Zhong’s face.

Although the Sun Flame could not exist for long and would dissipate on its own, even so, its very existence still attracted many factions, all coveting the Ye Clan’s Sun Fire Ancient Altar.

Especially for factions that cultivated fire-attribute techniques, or alchemist families, this was even more so. When Xiao Yixian and Tian Huo Zun Zhe heard about this Sun Fire Ancient Altar, their faces couldn’t help but reveal a trace of surprise.

From Ye Zhong’s description, this Sun Flame might not compare to a Heavenly Flame, but it was much stronger than beast flames. And among the Dou Techniques they cultivated, quite a few were related to flame.

Especially Xiao Yixian. Ever since she stripped away the Ghostly Poison Flame, her alchemy had dropped drastically. Now, she could barely refine sixth-tier pills.

If she could nurture the Emperor Spirit Flame in her hand to grow stronger, her alchemy might surpass even the level she had when she still possessed the Ghostly Poison Flame.

After all, when she previously absorbed that wisp of Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, the violent power within her Emperor Spirit Flame had been greatly enhanced. Now, it was in no way inferior to a genuine Heavenly Flame.

If she could further absorb some of this Sun Flame, her Emperor Spirit Flame might even surpass her former Ghostly Poison Flame.

As for Lin Feng, upon hearing Ye Zhong speak of the Sun Fire Ancient Altar, his expression also changed slightly. He had originally thought Ye Zhong would only take him to some ordinary seclusion chamber. It was unlikely he would open up his family’s forbidden ground to him.

Yet unexpectedly, the other party directly mentioned the Sun Fire Ancient Altar. But no matter what, this was a great fortune for him. Because having read the original story, he knew that deep within the Sun Fire Ancient Altar, there was a Core of the Earth.

The Core of the Earth, also known as the Earth Core Pearl, was formed from the essence energy deep within the land, fused together over countless years, condensing into an energy pearl.

Inside this pearl was an extremely vast energy. It was said that in refining certain eighth-tier or even ninth-tier pills, this legendary Earth Core Pearl could be used. This miraculous item was usually buried deep within the earth and was extremely hard to find.

But if it appeared in the world, even the old monsters in the Small Pill Tower would probably be unable to resist coming out to trade for it. Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately cupped his hands and said, ”I hope Elder will lead us to the Sun Fire Ancient Altar.”

”This is naturally no problem. However, in the past few years, the Sun Fire Ancient Altar has rarely seen Core Heart Flame seedlings rise up through the earth eye. And using other flames likewise cannot ignite sunlight to form Sun Flame. Nowadays, while the pill-refining effect there is still much better than the outside world, it no longer has the astonishing effect it once did.”

Hearing his words, Ye Zhong nodded, then explained somewhat helplessly.

At this, Tian Huo Zun Zhe and Xiao Yixian’s faces both turned rather disappointed. Without Sun Flame, that so-called Sun Fire Ancient Altar no longer held any attraction for them. Thinking of this, Tian Huo Zun Zhe waved his hand in disappointment, ”Then this old man won’t go.”
