Chapter 1281: Rich Beyond Measure

The other alchemists clearly recognized the Yin-Yang Mystic Fire Cauldron. Their eyes filled with envy and jealousy as they stared at Ling Feng. None of them could figure out what sort of background this young man came from.

Master Wang tightened his fists. He hurriedly instructed a disciple to move aside the fourth-grade alchemy furnace, then forced a smile. "Sir, are you truly planning to refine the Ninefold Profound Heavenly Spirit Pill?"

"You think I'm joking?"

Ling Feng smiled lightly. "What's wrong with it?"

Master Wang's mouth twitched. He swallowed and continued. "Sir, have you prepared the materials?"

Before he could finish, the Island Master's wife frowned. "Master Wang, does Mr. Ling need to prepare anything when he refines pills on our Hailong Island? Go and bring out the materials immediately and let Mr. Ling begin!"

The Island Master's wife was determined to please Ling Feng. She handled every detail personally and gave him the feeling of being an honored guest in her own home.

She even gifted him a cauldron!

She even intended to provide ingredients for the pill!

There was nothing more generous in the world.

Yet Master Wang wore a bitter expression. "The Ninefold Profound Heavenly Spirit Pill requires the Nine Yang Soul Condensing Flower as its main ingredient. That flower is extremely rare!"

The Island Master's wife knew nothing about alchemy, but she had heard of the Nine Yang Soul Condensing Flower several times. Her eyelids twitched as if she suddenly remembered something.

"You mean the same flower that only appears in Tianhuang City within the entire Inner Sea?"

"The very same flower."

Master Wang licked his dry lips again. "Not only that. Several other ingredients are precious and also very rare. Madam, we... we cannot gather all of them."

"

Uh...

"

A faint blush appeared on the Island Master's wife's face. She wanted to show off her wealth before Ling Feng. Instead she put herself in an awkward position.

Ling Feng had never expected her to prepare the materials. He smiled calmly. "Island Master's wife, you must be joking. I already feel guilty for troubling you all this time. I prepared my materials long ago."

He opened his storage spirit ring. Half of the internal space was the Flora Ring, which allowed flowers and herbs to be planted inside and kept alive.

As Ling Feng placed the ingredients for the Ninefold Profound Heavenly Spirit Pill on the table one by one, Master Wang nearly lost his soul. His eyes almost fell out of their sockets as he stared at the rare herbs. His hands trembled uncontrollably.

Just these ingredients alone were worth nearly half of Hailong Island's entire fortune!

"

Gulp!

"

The sound of swallowing was unending. Each of the alchemists, like starving wild wolves, gazed at the sheer quantity of rare flowers and herbs, nearly drooling a puddle of saliva.

The Island Master's wife took a deep breath. She realized she had been too naive. Competing in wealth with the heir of a sacred land was nothing but self-inflicted suffering!

Long Shanshan, the young lady of Hailong Island, finally understood her mother's warning.

This young man was without doubt a future Sacred Emperor!

None of them knew that Ling Feng had just finished robbing Tianhuang City. His wealth flowed like oil. It had nothing to do with the Dongling Immortal Pool at all.

"Everyone step back. I will begin refining the pill."

Ling Feng raised his brows slightly and began processing the herbs.

Everyone hurried back to a distance of three zhang and stared intensely at Ling Feng. Master Wang did not even dare blink. When he saw the speed of Ling Feng's hands as he handled the ingredients, he nearly knelt on the spot.

𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

His hand speed was so fast that it could barely be seen!

He had spent decades refining pills. His own skill should have reached a first-rate level, but after witnessing Ling Feng's technique, he finally understood what it meant to be shallow and ignorant.

In comparison, he was nothing but a frog at the bottom of a well!

Within only a dozen breaths, Ling Feng had melted all the ingredients together. He activated the alchemic fire array and began heating the alchemy furnace.

At first, everything looked ordinary. Soon, Master Wang realized that Ling Feng's fire control was so skillful and refined that his own abilities resembled the clumsy steps of a toddler.

"The Yin-Yang Mystic Fire Cauldron enhances the balance of the pure yin and pure yang elemental force within my body. They resonate perfectly!"

Halfway through the refinement, Ling Feng felt a surge of joy. Back in Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce in Tianhuang City, he had purchased a Yin-Yang Stone. Using it, he had created the Fire of Pure Yang and the Water of Pure Yin.

He later realized that yin and yang were not limited to the shapes of fire and water. As his understanding deepened, he discovered that all elemental qi attributes could be divided into yin and yang.

Fire could manifest as pure yang or as pure yin.

The same applies to water, earth, wind, thunder...

Ling Feng had never deliberately cultivated this concept, yet the yin-yang energy continually circulated within his body and subtly influenced his elemental force.

Using the Yin-Yang Mystic Fire Cauldron to refine pills allowed him to sense an even deeper truth in the transformation between yin and yang. At that exact moment, the refinement of the Ninefold Profound Heavenly Spirit Pill entered its most crucial stage.

"That... That is the Nine Refinements of Mystic Fire!"

Master Wang suddenly exclaimed. He recognized Ling Feng's hand print technique. "Fifteen years ago, an alchemist from the Tianbai Empire took part in an alchemy promotion exam with me. His fire control technique was unforgettable. I never thought I would see it again, yet this time it is even more refined and profound than before!"

Ling Feng curled his lips slightly. He knew Master Wang must be referring to Master Su, Su Dongling, the man known as the Empire's Top Poison Master. Ling Feng indeed had deep connections with him.

"Condense!"

Ling Feng steadied his mind and formed the final hand print. The flames weakened, marking the final and most decisive moment of the refinement.

Boom!

A rumbling sound echoed across the sky above the manor. The previously clear heavens darkened as thunder rolled through the clouds.

The birth of such a spirit pill triggered another natural phenomenon. Spiritual energy within a hundred miles rushed toward the manor. The scale of the phenomenon showed clearly that not only had the pill formed, it was undoubtedly of high grade.

Crackle!

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky. Ling Feng shouted and tapped the cauldron lid. The lid flew upward. A wave of rich fragrance spread through the grand hall, intoxicating everyone present.

Ling Feng immediately performed the Dragon Capture Seal. His wrist flicked, and the pill landed inside a jade box he had prepared in advance.

The Ninefold Profound Heavenly Spirit Pill, which determined his advancement into the king tier, had finally been refined successfully!
