Every time lightning fell upon the Sky Demon Puppet’s golden body, brilliant silver lightning would burst and spread outward, then transform into countless fine electric serpents, continuously crawling along the puppet’s skin before drilling into its body.

The dazzling power of lightning kept surging endlessly into Di Gang body, swiftly tempering the bones within and strengthening that long–withered flesh. From afar, the Sky Demon Puppet looked like a god of thunder, suspended high in the sky.

Within a radius of ten zhang around it, fierce multicolored lightning radiance flickered violently. Above the heavens, thunder rumbled continuously without pause.

The surging tri–colored thunderclouds were like a machine made for producing lightning, endlessly spewing out stronger and stronger bolts of dazzling thunder that struck down upon the Sky Demon Puppet’s body.

At once, a crisp clang of metal resounded throughout the world. Under such a barrage of thunderous bombardment, the space around the Sky Demon Puppet even began to show pitch–black cracks.

This situation continued for about ten minutes before gradually subsiding. During those ten minutes, dozens of bolts of thunder with extremely terrifying power descended from the thunderclouds.

However, these bolts of lightning did not harm the Sky Demon Puppet at all. On the contrary, they pushed its aura, which had barely reached the level of a Two–Star Dou Zun, all the way up to Three–Star Dou Zun!

”Not bad, my barely three–colored Pill Lightning actually raised the Sky Demon Puppet by one star. Looks like I’ll have to refine more pills later to boost my puppet’s strength.”

Controlling the Sky Demon Puppet to return beside him, Lin Feng swept his gaze up and down with satisfaction, smiling happily.

”Brother Lin Feng, are you alright?”

Seeing the thick dark clouds in the sky disperse, Dan Chen quickly flapped the Dou Qi wings on her back and flew over from afar. After all, Lin Feng was one of her only two friends, and compared to that half–friend, half–rival Cao Ying, she cared about him much more.

Because of her worry, she completely forgot that Lin Feng hadn’t actually taken a single bolt of Pill Lightning head–on.

”I’m fine.”

Lin Feng smiled and gently ruffled the soft blue–gray hair of the young girl before him, chuckling lightly. As for Dan Chen, she simply closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed his touch.

After calming her down, Lin Feng turned toward the surrounding Small Pill Tower experts, cupped his fists, and said, ”Junior Lin Feng greets the seniors.”

Only then did Dan Chen realize that more than ten figures had appeared nearby, and she was startled. She hurriedly hid behind Lin Feng, clutching his sleeve, her gaze shyly glancing at those old men.

After all, Lin Feng had been patting her head for quite some time earlier—surely they all saw that. Thinking of this, a faint mist of embarrassment rose in her beautiful eyes. Those elders, seeing Lin Feng politely salute them, smiled and nodded in return.

Judging by the terrifying talent he had displayed, it was almost certain that Lin Feng would one day hold a place among the Grand Elder Council of the Small Pill Tower.

Thus, most of them looked at him with friendliness—many had families or factions behind them, after all, and had to consider future connections.

”Swish~”

At that moment, the pill within the gray cauldron seized the chance—it transformed into a small bird and shot at full speed toward the distant sky!

Though its intelligence wasn’t high yet, it faintly sensed that, being newly born and weak, this was its only chance to escape. If it failed, there would be no second chance.

”Where do you think you’re going?”

Seeing the three-colored eighth-tier Advancement Pill he had painstakingly refined for a month trying to flee, Lin Feng immediately roared in anger. Then Lin Feng stretched out his hand, palm facing the direction of the fleeing creature.

In an instant, the bird that had been darting away at full speed suddenly froze mid–air. Then, it began to retreat backward even faster than it had fled. In the blink of an eye, it was caught within Lin Feng’s palm.

Since it was a being he himself had created, Lin Feng possessed an overwhelming suppressive control over it. Thus, once seized by him, the pill immediately lost all power to resist. Lin Feng swiftly took out a jade bottle, sealed the pill within, and finally tossed it into his storage ring.

”Lin Feng, do you have any extra puppets like that one of yours? If possible, could you let this old man have two to use for a while?”

At that moment, a voice filled with faint temptation slowly rang out.

Lin Feng turned toward the speaker and saw an old man whose hair and beard were entirely white, yet his face looked like that of someone around twenty.

”Of course, I wouldn’t take them for free. For ones of that level, I’ll trade you one seven-colored eighth-tier pill for each puppet.”

The Eder quickly added this, clearly not wishing to owe anyone a favor. As an eight-colored eighth-tier alchemist—an absolute peak rank—he naturally had plenty of pills in his possession. So rather than owing favors, he preferred simply to pay in pills.

Upon hearing his offer, the surrounding elders’ eyes all lit up, and they immediately began speaking up as well, agreeing to follow the same price. Seeing this situation, Lin Feng quickly realized that this was an excellent opportunity.

After pretending to think for a short while, he replied, ”These puppets were given to me by a friend from her clan’s collection, for self–defense. I have five in total. Two of them are golden, possessing Dou Zun–level combat strength, while the remaining three are only at Dou Zong–level.”

Then, with a light brush of his storage ring, he brought out Di Gang, Qing Mu, and the other three high–ranked Dou Zong–level Earth Demon Puppets.

He continued, ”If any senior is interested, I’m willing to make an exchange. As for the price, the two golden ones will be traded at the rate that senior just mentioned, while the silver ones can go for three five-colored eighth-tier pills each.”

When those Small Pill Tower experts saw the five puppets, they couldn’t help but feel astonished. Such rare and extraordinary puppets—and Lin Feng actually possessed five of them. What piqued their curiosity even more, however, was the friend who had given them to him.

From the tone of Lin Feng’s words, it seemed that his friend’s clan had many more of these puppets in their possession. And as far as they knew, very few clans in the world could make such lavish gifts.

Thinking of this, one of the Elders couldn’t help but ask, ”This might be a bit abrupt, but could you tell this old man which power your friend belongs to?”

”My friend comes from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.”

Seeing the Elder ask just as he had anticipated, Lin Feng calmly gave that ”answer.” After all, he had been waiting for a chance to let the members of the Small Pill Tower know that he had ties with the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
