This situation immediately drew Alchemist Dong’s attention, and that momentary distraction directly caused this batch of Elixirs to be completely ruined.

Paying no attention to the ruined Elixirs, Alchemist Dong focused his attention on the Alchemy Book on the table. He didn’t discover anything unusual, which made his brows knit together. After carefully checking the surroundings, he still didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

"Strange, this Alchemy Room is sealed extremely well, there’s not even any wind; how could this Alchemy Book turn pages on its own?"

Looking at that seemingly perfectly ordinary Alchemy Book, Alchemist Dong was baffled, yet he still couldn’t find anything amiss. There was no one else in this Alchemy Room besides him. Could it be he’d really run into a ghost? In the end he could only shake his head helplessly, then continued with his Alchemy...

Outside Dong Mansion, Lin Feng had already opened his eyes at this moment. The alchemy techniques recorded in that Alchemy Book just now had benefited him greatly. What was recorded in there were all Alchemy methods from the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, which were vastly different from the Alchemy methods back on Earth, and were extremely helpful to the improvement of his Alchemy.

Thinking of going to the auction house to do Alchemy next, his mood grew even more excited. It was the perfect chance to verify the effectiveness of those Alchemy methods. He raised his head and glanced in the direction of the auction house, then immediately headed there.

Tangyuan had naturally sensed the change in Lin Feng’s mood as well. It immediately knew that Lin Feng must have gained some benefit inside Dong Mansion. Linking that to the fact this was an alchemist’s residence, its small eyes blinked and the corners of its mouth curled into a smile... 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

When he reached the door of the auction house, Lin Feng walked straight in. Seeing that there weren’t many people around, Lin Feng directly returned to his original appearance.

The same middle-aged man who had received Lin Feng last time immediately came forward the moment he saw Lin Feng appear. He had received Elder Chu’s instructions: as long as Lin Feng came to the auction house, he was to be treated with the highest VIP reception. He promptly led Lin Feng into one of the auction house’s VIP rooms, and after settling him in, went off to find Elder Chu.

Not long after, Elder Chu arrived. As soon as the door was pushed open, Elder Chu’s hearty laughter rang out.

"Hahaha, Taoist Friend Lin, I’ve finally waited you out!" Elder Chu looked at Lin Feng with great warmth. He was truly delighted that Lin Feng had come. One had to know that it had been nearly two months since they parted last time, and he’d been waiting for Lin Feng to refine Elixirs for him. This was indeed an extremely important matter to him.

"You flatter me, Elder Chu." Seeing Elder Chu’s enthusiasm, Lin Feng replied with a smile, "If my guess is right, Elder Chu has long been waiting for me to do Alchemy, hasn’t he?"

"Of course! Taoist Friend Lin’s Alchemy level opened this old man’s eyes. To be frank, when the people above heard that Taoist Friend Lin could refine Elixirs of Flawless Quality, they were all greatly shaken. And after we sent up the few Soul Shattered Pills our auction house kept from the last auction, they became even more expectant of Taoist Friend Lin’s Alchemy. They instructed this old man that if I met Taoist Friend Lin again, I must be sure to make your acquaintance properly."

Looking at Lin Feng, Elder Chu was entirely sincere, saying whatever was on his mind without the slightest concealment. He even made clear to Lin Feng the attitude of those higher-ups from the upper levels of the Myriad Gods Tower. He knew that for someone like Lin Feng, using other little schemes was definitely useless; it was better to be straightforward, as that was what best fit Lin Feng’s character.

After speaking, Elder Chu looked at Lin Feng, a sincere smile appearing on his face as he continued, "Those above also asked this old man to inquire about one matter from Taoist Friend Lin. I wonder, can Taoist Friend Lin currently refine Grand Quality Elixirs?"

"Above Desolate Grade? I haven’t refined them before, so I don’t know if it’s feasible. But if there are Alchemy Prescriptions, I can give it a try." Lin Feng replied with a smile. In truth, he also wanted to try; he just didn’t know what the specific outcome would be.

"The Alchemy Prescriptions have long been prepared, and the corresponding Spiritual Medicines are all ready as well—we’ve just been waiting for you to speak!" Hearing Lin Feng say this, Elder Chu’s face lit up with a smile as he answered. As for Lin Feng’s miraculous Alchemy, he had great confidence. The very first time he refined, he’d produced Soul Shattered Pills of Flawless Rank, which showed that Lin Feng’s Alchemy was definitely above Desolate Grade. If there were Alchemy Prescriptions, it was entirely possible for Lin Feng to refine Grand Quality Elixirs. It didn’t matter even if this attempt failed; but if Lin Feng could also refine Grand Quality Elixirs of Flawless Rank, the significance would be extraordinary!

At this point, Elder Chu immediately stood up and led Lin Feng toward the Alchemy Room they had used last time.

Outside the Alchemy Room, Elder Chu promptly took out a small box-like Space Treasure and said to Lin Feng, "Taoist Friend Lin, inside this is one type of Grand Quality and Desolate Grade Alchemy Prescriptions. The Spiritual Medicines have all been prepared as well; I now hand them over to you. This old man will be awaiting Taoist Friend Lin’s divine handiwork."

"Alright." Lin Feng accepted the Space Treasure without being overly polite, gave it a quick inspection, then stepped into the Alchemy Room.

Seeing Lin Feng walk into the Alchemy Room, Elder Chu’s face showed a smile and he immediately turned to leave. The rest was no longer something he needed to involve himself in. Now he too was very much looking forward to what result Lin Feng’s Alchemy would yield this time.

As soon as Lin Feng entered the Alchemy Room, Tangyuan jumped down from his shoulder, then said to Lin Feng, "Boss, what Elixir are you going to refine this time?"

"Wait a moment." Lin Feng said simply, then immediately sent out several Formation Flags, constructing a very special Formation inside the Alchemy Room. He absolutely did not want the secrets of his Alchemy to be known by others, lest unexpected trouble arise. Even if it was the auction house he was dealing with, he would not be careless.

After finishing all this, Lin Feng finally opened the Space Treasure Elder Chu had given him and laid out all the Spiritual Medicine and Alchemy Prescriptions on the ground.

There weren’t many Alchemy Prescriptions, only five in total: four for Desolate Grade Elixirs, and one for Grand Quality Elixirs. As for the corresponding Spiritual Medicine, all of it had already been sorted and packed separately; each pouch was even labeled with the name of each Elixir, showing just how meticulous Elder Chu’s earlier preparations had been.

Seeing this, Lin Feng nodded, then first picked out one from the many Desolate Grade Alchemy Prescriptions and smiled. "This one!"

Tangyuan saw that Lin Feng had made his decision, and its eyes immediately bulged, because it actually recognized the Alchemy Prescription Lin Feng had chosen. It was for the Earth Dragon Heart-Cleansing Pill, a kind of Elixir that calms the mind and settles the spirit. This Elixir was something most cultivators considered essential, because during Cultivation, sometimes one could fall into qi deviation from being unable to quiet the mind, and the role of the Earth Dragon Heart-Cleansing Pill was precisely to pull back someone who had just fallen into qi deviation. So this Elixir was a must-have for all cultivators; everyone would keep one pill on them, just in case!

What was even more important was that Tangyuan knew the value of the Earth Dragon Heart-Cleansing Pill. It was at least one grade higher than the Soul Shattered Pill. After all, only Divine Beings of the Divine Origin Realm would encounter qi deviation, and generally speaking, those at the Divine Being Realm were not particularly short on Yuan Stones. The most conservative price for a single Earth Dragon Heart-Cleansing Pill was over three hundred Yuan Stones, and that was only for ordinary quality. If Lin Feng managed to refine one of Flawless Quality, then the situation would be completely different!

"Boss, I hope you can succeed in refining it." The moment Tangyuan thought about the value of the Earth Dragon Heart-Cleansing Pill, its eyes shone brilliantly. It truly hoped Lin Feng could refine a Flawless Quality Earth Dragon Heart-Cleansing Pill; when that happened, they would be rich again!

Hearing this, Lin Feng didn’t reply, and instead immediately opened the pouch of Spiritual Medicine for the Earth Dragon Heart-Cleansing Pill, sorting the Spiritual Medicine by type. He did not rush to refine; rather, he sat down where he was and carefully recalled the techniques recorded in Alchemist Dong’s Alchemy Book...

Tangyuan looked at Lin Feng like this and thought he was simulating the Alchemy process in his mind, so it didn’t say anything, just quietly watched from the side. But after staring for a while, it felt bored and, without realizing it, actually fell asleep.

A full four hours later, Lin Feng had already simulated the process of refining the Earth Dragon Heart-Cleansing Pill several times in his mind, and had repeatedly confirmed the techniques for refining it. After making all these preparations, he finally took out the Haotian Cauldron, and the Eternal Divine Flame instantly appeared!

In an instant, the temperature inside the Alchemy Room surged, directly waking Tangyuan up. Seeing that nothing was actually on fire, Tangyuan finally relaxed and prepared to go back to sleep.

But at this moment, Lin Feng suddenly remembered the Fire Cloud Stone he had just obtained and immediately called out to Tangyuan, "How do you use that Fire Cloud Stone?"

"I don’t know either. I only know what this thing is. As for how to actually use it, that’s up to you to figure out. I’m just a Demon Beast—being able to recognize it as Fire Cloud Stone is already not easy for me." Tangyuan hurriedly explained. It had only learned about this Fire Cloud Stone by chance, knew only its origin, and indeed had no idea how to use it specifically.

Hearing Tangyuan’s explanation, Lin Feng frowned slightly. Since even the method of using it was unknown, he might as well directly roast it with the Eternal Divine Flame and see if any changes would occur. With that thought, he immediately urged the Eternal Divine Flame to lift the Fire Cloud Stone into the air and burn it with full force!

The instant he fully unleashed it, the temperature in the entire Alchemy Room skyrocketed. If not for the room being constructed of stone, the whole Alchemy Room would probably have already been set ablaze. Even so, the floor and walls inside became scorching hot, just like stone that had just been burned!

"Boss, I’m going to be roasted alive!" Tangyuan panicked to the extreme at this moment. This kind of temperature was unbearable even for a Demon Beast like it; it was simply outrageous. If this continued for a while longer, it would probably be baked into jerky by that terrifyingly high temperature!

"No problem." Lin Feng said faintly, then lifted his hand with a slight wave. Immediately, another wisp of the same Eternal Divine Flame wrapped around Tangyuan.

"You want to kill me? Ah... wait, no!"

Seeing Lin Feng send Eternal Divine Flame toward it, Tangyuan let out a miserable scream, thinking Lin Feng wanted to kill it. But right after it cried out, it realized something was off, because it didn’t feel any pain. On the contrary, the temperature around it actually dropped. Its eyes bulged wide; it could hardly believe this was real!

Only when it carefully examined its surroundings did it realize that Lin Feng’s Eternal Divine Flame had already formed a protective ring around it, absorbing the surrounding heat, while the temperature within the ring returned to normal. This situation nearly made its beady little eyes pop out. It had never imagined Lin Feng’s Flame would be this miraculous!

Since that was the case, it no longer cared about anything else and simply hid inside the ring, watching from within as Lin Feng worked on opening up the Fire Cloud Stone...
