Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 981 - 690_2

"Damn! It’s still not enough!"

Lin Feng immediately felt frustrated, but he didn’t stop. As he continued to absorb, in no time, all the spiritual energy was completely absorbed.

However, at this moment, there was still a significant distance until the Earth Attribute Divine Pill was fully formed.

Lin Feng immediately rummaged through Lin Langtian’s storage ring and found two bottles of cultivation-enhancing elixirs.

These elixirs were both middle-grade, king-level pills.

The two bottles contained nearly twenty pills in total, and without hesitation, Lin Feng swallowed them all like pouring beans.

As the pills entered his stomach, their power exploded instantly, and the immense medicinal power rampaged in Lin Feng’s body. He began refining once again.

Large amounts of medicinal power were refined into Earth Attribute Dark Power and surged into the Earth Attribute Divine Pill.

Before long, the medicinal power was completely refined, but the Earth Attribute Divine Pill remained dull and weak, failing to successfully condense.

Whew!

Moments later, Lin Feng opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"Just a little bit more!"

Lin Feng sighed helplessly. If he had five hundred million more upper-grade spirit stones or one more bottle of pills, he could undoubtedly succeed in condensing the Earth Attribute Divine Pill and smoothly enter the Martial King Realm.

But now, all the spirit stones were depleted, and all the pills were used up; he had no resources left.

At this moment, Lin Feng even had the thought of devouring Lin Langtian, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Lin Langtian is very useful! Killing him would be too wasteful!

Moreover, with his strength, earning a few billion more upper-grade spirit stones is really easy.

He could even go out and devour several martial artists outright!

After contemplating for a moment, Lin Feng calculated the time and found that eight days had passed during this cultivation session.

Immediately, he left the Divine Map Space and returned to his room in the outside world.

Upon stepping out of the room, Lin Feng saw Bai Yin’er’s two maids chatting idly in the hall.

"Where is your lady?" Lin Feng asked the two.

"The lady is in her room and hasn’t come out all the time!" said one of the maids.

Both of them bore curious expressions, subtly scrutinizing Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s identity as an outsider was known to them because the commotion he caused in Yangwu City was substantial.

Lin Feng nodded upon hearing this, then walked out of the palace.

At this time, the sky outside was somewhat dim; it was already dusk. Lin Feng glanced at the sky and secretly decided to start acting at night.

There were only two days left until the selection of concubines, two days after which he would leave the Imperial Palace, so he had to take action.

Though the difference between day and night isn’t significant for high-level martial artists, it’s still slightly better to act at night.

After all, generally, people don’t walk around late at night.

So, Lin Feng returned to his room, consolidating his cultivation, waiting for the night to fall.

Although Lin Feng’s cultivation hadn’t advanced to the Martial King Realm, he had stepped into the Half-Step Martial King Realm, just a footstep away from the true Martial King Realm.

Now, his strength had greatly improved compared to before, surpassing even that of Ninth Layer Martial Artists in the Martial King Realm.

Of course, this refers only to ordinary Ninth Layer Martial Artists; those talented with powerful combat abilities are another matter entirely.

Time passed slowly, soon three hours had gone by, and the Imperial Palace fell into silence, enveloped in tranquility.

At this time, it was already deep into the night.

Lin Feng’s room door quietly opened, and then a black shadow darted away.

The shadow was Lin Feng.

After leaving the room, Lin Feng arrived at a secluded spot in the Jade Palace, his aura restrained to the extreme, blending completely into the darkness.

Ordinary martial artists wouldn’t sense his presence even if they walked past him.

After pondering briefly, Lin Feng sliced through the space before him, creating a split, and he promptly disappeared into the spatial rift, heading stealthily towards the Fire Refining Palace.

Outside the Jade Palace, a team of armored divine guards was firmly guarding the Jade Palace.

Their task was to prevent anyone from leaving the Jade Palace and wandering off privately.

Buzz~~

At this moment, a spatial ripple subtly flickered before a young divine guard for a brief instant, but the space quickly reverted to tranquility.

"Hmm?" Seeing this, the young divine guard raised his brows and began inspecting carefully but found nothing.

Then, he shook his head slightly and didn’t bother with it further.

Lin Feng’s figure was concealed deep within the void, traversing stealthily, bypassing numerous imperial palace guards, and soon arrived before the Fire Refining Palace.

From a hidden corner of the wall, a shadow flitted by, and Lin Feng emerged from the void.

Gazing at the nearby Fire Refining Palace, Lin Feng pondered briefly, and with his facial muscles and bones moving, he instantly altered his appearance.

Doing so was a precaution to prevent being tracked down afterwards.

Now that he had changed his appearance, if discovered, he could immediately escape back to the Jade Palace, and others wouldn’t be able to trace it to him.

As for his aura, Lin Feng had a solution. When engaging in combat, he would only use one type of attribute power.

Later, if anyone investigated, he would use another attribute power to obscure it.

This way, it would be foolproof.

Outside the Fire Refining Palace, there were guards, but they were fewer in number, only four, and their cultivation was below the Martial King Realm.

Lin Feng completely disregarded these few.

Having learned from past mistakes, Lin Feng no longer dared to use spiritual sense to probe; instead, he flashed into a spatial rift again, stealthily entering the Fire Refining Palace.

The Fire Refining Palace, similar to the Jade Palace, also housed several palaces, but the one in the center was the most expansive and grand.

This largest palace was precisely where Lin Feng had previously looked, and inside resided the elder who shattered his spiritual sense.

Lin Feng knew that this palace must be the main hall of the Fire Refining Palace, and the Blood Pattern Seed was likely stored within.

Although this palace was extremely perilous, Lin Feng chose to infiltrate it without hesitation.

Once inside, Lin Feng carefully surveyed the surroundings; the hall was silent, with no signs of people.

This was an unexpected delight for Lin Feng.

"Where could the Blood Pattern Seed be?" Lin Feng’s expression was exceedingly serious as he speculated secretly.

In such a vast Fire Refining Palace, many weapons must be forged daily, consuming a significant amount of artifact refining materials.

Thus, these materials wouldn’t be kept personally but would certainly have a dedicated treasury for storage.

Lin Feng’s current task was to locate the treasury’s whereabouts.

However, with many rooms in this palace, Lin Feng didn’t dare to use spiritual sense recklessly and could only search each room himself.

Lin Feng restrained his aura to the extreme, having no fluctuations in his energy, and then his entire being transformed into a shadow, searching through the palace.

Some rooms gave off a fluctuation in aura, indicating people were inside.

Rooms with people shouldn’t be where artifact refining materials are stored; who stays in a treasury in the middle of the night?

As for some unoccupied rooms, Lin Feng cautiously explored them with spiritual consciousness.

Soon, Lin Feng had combed through hundreds of rooms in the palace without any findings.

"There’s really nothing!" Lin Feng’s heart sank abruptly; the treasury for artifact refining materials wasn’t here, perhaps it was in another palace?

"There’s another room ahead!" At this point, Lin Feng noticed one more room at the deepest part of the palace.

This room was entirely made of stone, standing isolated from other rooms, and massive, extending ten zhang in both length and width.

Swish!

Without hesitation, Lin Feng darted towards the deepest room in the palace.

As Lin Feng approached fifty zhang away from the room, he suddenly halted his progress.

"So many people!" Lin Feng sensed numerous presences inside the stone chamber.

Inside this chamber, there were no fewer than twenty people.

Simultaneously, Lin Feng also felt the surging Fire Attribute Power emanating from within the room.

Moreover, these surging Fire Attribute Powers carried distinct auras, evidently not belonging to the same individual.

"Someone is refining artifacts inside!"

With a quick turn in thought, Lin Feng immediately understood; at this very moment, people inside the stone chamber were undoubtedly engaged in artifact refining.

Moreover, they were more than twenty people refining simultaneously.
