As he spoke, Lin Feng sat down right beside Dan Chen, then asked, ”So, after using that Core-Fire Lotus Seed, has your control over the Green Lotus Core Flame become much well.”

”Mm, after taking that lotus seed, not only did my Dou Qi grow a lot stronger, but my control over this Green Lotus Core Flame, which shares the same origin as the lotus seed, also became very smooth to use.”

When talking about the Heavenly Flame, Dan Chen’s eyes lit up, her expression filled with excitement. Seeing her adorable appearance, Lin Feng subconsciously reached out his hand and gently patted her small head.

Dan Chen obediently lowered her head, her beautiful eyes slightly closing as she let him stroke her silky hair. During this period of time they’d spent together, Lin Feng would occasionally do this.

As time passed, she had already gotten used to it. However, when a few male students nearby saw this scene, they immediately felt a surge of jealousy and resentment. After all, Dan Chen’s popularity in the Small Pill Tower was no less than that of Cao Ying.

There were quite a few male students who had feelings for her. And now, seeing Lin Feng’s filthy hand rubbing their goddess’s head, how could they not be angry!

But when they thought about the difference in strength between the two sides, everyone couldn’t help but feel dejected. After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, strength was the ultimate rule. Even if they were displeased, what could they do about it.

After a few days of lessons, Elder Zhong finally concluded the class and told everyone to go back and practice more, to digest what they’d learned this time.

As soon as the class ended, five or six students surrounded Lin Feng with smiles, all chattering and offering their congratulations. After all, they knew that for Lin Feng to have his soul break through to the Spirit Realm at such a young age—

His talent definitely did not lose to, and perhaps even surpassed, that of Cao Ying and Dan Chen. If they didn’t take this opportunity to get close to him now, they might not have the chance later. As for these people, Lin Feng responded to each of them one by one.

Even though, for him now, a seventh-tier alchemist title didn’t provide much help. Many among them were disciples of powerful figures within the Small Pill Tower, and there was no need for him to offend anyone unnecessarily.

However, when Xiao Yan saw this scene before his eyes, his heart sank even deeper. If Lin Feng befriended many of the powerful figures in the Small Pill Tower, then wanting to make a move against him would undoubtedly become even more difficult.

After all, even the Three Leaders of the Pill Tower had to treat those people with caution.

”Lin Feng, let’s go.”

After waiting for a moment, Elder Zhong finally spoke.

”Everyone, I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”

After he spoke, Lin Feng cupped his hands slightly toward the crowd.

Seeing this, everyone quickly and sensibly backed away. Although Elder Zhong wasn’t one of the Grand Elders, his alchemy skills were by no means weak. He wasn’t someone seventh-tier alchemists like them could afford to offend.

”Catch.”

Just as Lin Feng managed to shake off the crowd, a soft and seductive female voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Right after, two golden beads shot through the air toward him. Seeing that, he swiftly extended his hand and caught the two beads. When he took a closer look, they were actually two gold-element magic cores.

From the faint pressure emanating from them, they must have been taken from a Rank 8 magic beast. Realizing they were magic cores, Lin Feng turned his head toward the source, only to find that it was Cao Ying who had thrown them.

”I’m very interested in that thing of yours. These two magic cores are my trade for it.”

Sensing his gaze, Cao Ying explained faintly. Then she lifted her exquisite, irresistible face and said, ”Also, the match between us isn’t over yet. Sooner or later, I’ll catch up to you, and completely press you beneath me!”

With that, she turned around and walked away.

As for Lin Feng, he was left standing there with a face full of question marks. He didn’t want to talk about anything else — he just wanted to say that if she really wanted to press him down, he would raise both hands in full support.

Of course, they’d have to find a place where no one was around first. However, since she had already left, even if he wanted to say that now, it was too late.

”Sigh, what a pity.”

Lin Feng sighed inwardly. After saying a few words to Dan Chen, he followed Elder Zhong and left the area.

”Looks like I’ll have to talk to Aunt Xuan and the others, find a way to deal with this Lin Feng. If I let him continue growing like this, I might never have the chance to get my hands on that Green Lotus Core Flame.”

Watching Lin Feng’s back as he left, Xiao Yan’s brows furrowed tightly, and an anxious feeling began to grow in his heart. After all, he was no longer that ignorant young man he once was. He now clearly understood just how precious a Heavenly Flame truly was.

Xun’er had told him before — among the top thirteen ranked Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, aside from the Three Thousand Burning Flame trapped within the Pill Tower, all the others were already monopolized by terrifyingly powerful forces.

Unless he discovered a new one, there was almost no chance of obtaining any of them!

Therefore, when it came to the Green Lotus Core Flame in Lin Feng’s possession — the only one that he still had a possible chance of getting — he valued it immensely.

But when he thought about how his earlier suggestion to surround the Ye Family and ambush Lin Feng on the road had been rejected by the Three Leaders, a trace of helplessness flickered across his face.

If Lin Feng hadn’t joined the Pill Tower, he would’ve had plenty of ways to deal with him. But now, although the Pill Tower gave him a lot of help, it also restricted him from making any moves against Lin Feng here.

As for Elder Feng, he had even less of a chance to take action against Lin Feng within the Pill Tower.

”No, I must get rid of Lin Feng as soon as possible, otherwise, judging from how things are going, it’ll only get harder and harder later.”

Xiao Yan clenched his teeth, then turned and flew swiftly toward the Small Pill Tower’s exit once again.

Deep within a dense forest on one of the Small Pill Tower’s mountain peaks, Lin Feng’s gaze was locked unblinkingly onto a massive gray cauldron before him.

After eight days of fusion, within the azure flames rising inside that cauldron, there was faintly visible a mass about the size of a human head — a mixture of many liquids that had yet to completely merge together.

This was the medicinal fluid condensed from hundreds of precious herbs. If he could fully fuse them, then through continuous tempering by the flame, they would form the embryonic stage of an eighth-tier pill!

However, this fusion stage was the most difficult step in the entire pill refining process. Most alchemy failures occurred right at this stage. As the medicinal fluids continued to merge, the fluctuations within Lin Feng’s cauldron grew more and more unstable, more and more chaotic.

This change was also sensed by a young girl several dozen meters away. Her delicate brows furrowed as she gazed worriedly at the gray cauldron in the distance. Though she was still young, her experience in alchemy was not shallow.

She knew that in this kind of situation, the chance of pill refinement failure was extremely high. As Dan Chen had expected, the energy inside Lin Feng’s cauldron was indeed becoming more and more uncontrollable.
