Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 154 begins!

The usually bustling streets of Gama Capital were unusually quiet today. Not only was the flow of people drastically reduced, but many open shops also announced that they would be closed to customers for the day.

To the people of the capital, this scene was perfectly normal. Even the passersby seemed to have a burning desire in their eyes, their steps quickening as if they had thought of something.

"Excuse me, sir, what happened today?"

Just as a burly, rugged man was hurrying toward a certain place with a look of adoration on his face, a man in a black cloak stopped him.

"Kid, get out of my way! I have important business to attend to today, don't block my way."

"Um!"

The moment the burly man uttered his impolite words, a powerful aura erupted from the mysterious figure in the black cloak. Though fleeting, it terrified the burly man, who turned pale and hastily bowed and apologized.

"Tell me, what happened in Gamadi today? Why are all the people coming and going in such a hurry, yet with a kind of, well, worshipful look on their faces?" The mysterious man hesitated for a moment before realizing that these people's faces seemed very similar to those of the star-struck crowd from his previous life.

"Ah, reporting back to you, sir." Hearing the voice of the mysterious man before him, who exuded the powerful aura of a Great Battle Master, sound so young, even somewhat childish, the burly man was taken aback. However, recalling the fleeting aura just now, the burly man didn't have time to think further and quickly replied.

"My lord, you may not know this, but today's guest elder of the Alchemist Guild is the most powerful alchemist in the Gama Empire, a genius that the empire sees only once in a hundred years."

"Shut up, get to the point!" The mysterious figure hidden beneath the cloak interrupted the burly man, who was rambling on and on about praising the situation without ever getting to the reason behind it. He thought to himself, "Star-struck fans are terrifying!"

"Yes, yes," the burly man finally realized after being interrupted by the mysterious man that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with, and hurriedly replied.

"Today, Master Lin Feng will publicly refine a pill at the Alchemist Guild. It's said to be a top-tier sixth-grade pill—the Breakthrough Pill!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the mysterious man exclaimed in shock, tightening his grip on the burly man's shoulder.

"Ah, sir!"

Realizing his unease, the mysterious man released his grip, and upon seeing the man's pale face, a hint of apology appeared on his face hidden beneath his cloak. He reached into his storage ring, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm.

"This contains a first-grade healing pill; consider it a thank you for the information!"

After tossing it to the burly man, the mysterious figure sped off towards the Alchemist Guild. Strangely, just as people were about to collide with him, they would inexplicably dodge to the side, and within a few breaths, the mysterious figure would vanish.

Only the burly man, holding the jade bottle and repeatedly expressing his gratitude, remained on the spot.

The plaza in front of the Alchemist Guild was densely packed with people, while on some of the higher rooftops, there were several powerful individuals who were at least at the Great Battle Master level.

A heated discussion erupted here, a stark contrast to the usual tranquility of the Alchemist Guild. Normally, the powerful guards protecting the guild headquarters would have already driven them away. After all, alchemists cannot afford to be distracted when refining pills.

Sometimes, external factors can even lead to the risk of an oven explosion.

Today, with so many people gathered here, the discussions were deafening. The powerful guards, however, showed no sign of moving; their expressions suggested they actually hoped for as many people as possible.

"The royal family has arrived!"

Just then, a loud voice rang out, and everyone immediately made way for them.

A group of soldiers slowly appeared, lining up on both sides of the path cleared by the crowd. Then, two beautiful figures with captivating expressions slowly appeared, and the surrounding people cheered loudly.

Even though they are not the main focus today, these exquisite imperial twin pearls always manage to attract people's attention.

"Mitter Tengshan, President of Mittel Auction House, has arrived!"

"The head of the Mu family, Mu Chen, has arrived!"

"Nalan Jie, the head of the Nalan family, has arrived!"

"The Sect Master of Yunlan Sect has arrived!"

"Master Alchemist Gu He has arrived!"

The arrival of the royal family seemed to trigger some tacit understanding, as leaders of many powerful forces in the capital appeared one after another. Naturally, they brought their own juniors, hoping that one of them might catch the eye of Master Lin Feng.

Even the fingernails that Master Lin Feng plucked from between his fingers were enough to benefit them for a lifetime. After all, he was a master capable of refining a top-grade sixth-rank pill—the Breakthrough Pill!

After the arrival of the many powerful forces, they did not communicate with each other, but waited in perfect unison.

On top of an extremely tall building of the Alchemist Guild, Lin Feng and Fa Ma stood on the edge of the pavilion, looking down. Fa Ma's face was full of joy.

"Lin Feng, your reputation has truly soared this time. Not only the Jia Ma Empire, but also spies from other countries lurking within the empire will surely relay this news. After this elixir is refined, your name will resound throughout the entire Northwest Continent!"

Fa Ma, however, was not worried at all about whether Lin Feng would be assassinated by hostile forces after becoming famous. On one hand, an alchemist who had reached the sixth rank had already transcended the boundaries of a nation, and even in a war of annihilation, alchemists of this level would not be harmed.

On the other hand, Fa Ma recalled the day Lin Feng wanted to publicly refine the Breakthrough Pill, and he had tried to dissuade him from being too high-profile. However, Lin Feng revealed his powerful battle aura, and Fa Ma immediately changed his mind.

As an alchemist, one must be high-profile, letting the world know one's name. In this Northwest Empire, who else could harm Lin Feng? He's a Dou Zong powerhouse, not even twenty years old!

After a few moments of reflection, Fa Ma observed the traces left by the sundial and then glanced at Lin Feng.

"Pharaoh, since that's the case, let's begin!"

Lin Feng nodded slightly at Fa Ma's suggestion. Since all the important figures from the Gama Empire had arrived, there was no need to wait any longer. After Fa Ma went to make preparations, Lin Feng looked up towards the direction of the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

"Qinglin, your brother's current achievements are enough to make him no longer afraid of the Heavenly Serpent Empire. The time for our reunion is not far off!"

"Ladies and gentlemen," Fa Ma announced ostentatiously, unfurling his battle aura wings atop the pavilion and slowly flying to the center of the plaza, "now, please welcome Master Lin Feng!"

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, a young figure, with wings of battle aura on his back, slowly flew to Fa Ma's side, a smile on his face.

"Gentlemen, I am Lin Feng, and today I will publicly demonstrate the refining of the Breakthrough Pill. Now, I declare the alchemy process officially begin!"
