Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 226 Tianya City Continued

In the center of the Black Stone Square in Tianya City, the Luo family patriarch was overjoyed. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke.

"Master Lin Feng, I wonder if you could refine some Breakthrough Pills for me?"

After asking, the Luo family patriarch seemed to be afraid that Lin Feng, a seventh-grade master, would not want to waste time on this sixth-grade pill, so he spoke again.

"If Master Lin Feng agrees, you may take any item from the Luo family's treasure vault."

As for refining seventh-grade pills, the Luo family patriarch wisely refrained from offering to do so. Leaving aside whether Lin Feng was capable of refining them, even if he were willing, the high reward was a significant obstacle. Furthermore, the rule for alchemists—providing three batches of pills—was something they simply couldn't afford!

"According to the rules for alchemists, you must provide your own medicinal herbs. I also need some seventh-tier magic cores, which I can choose together with the reward for repairing the space wormhole!"

"Thank you very much, Lord Lin Feng!"

"Lin Feng!"

Just as the Luo family patriarch was about to express his gratitude again, Zi Yan appeared from behind, curiously looking around.

Although she is a princess of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, she has never actually traveled through a spatial wormhole because of the old dragon emperor Zhukun.

In the past, at most, it was just superficial movement through space!

"Lin Feng, I'll take care of repairing this space!"

Zi Yan's face was full of pride. "Recently, I've learned some advanced spatial manipulation techniques, and I'm going to show you!"

"Senior Luo, this is mine."

"Partner, as Lin Feng's partner, I'll reluctantly show you what true spatial manipulation is like this time!"

Just as Lin Feng was about to say that Zi Yan was his sister, Zi Yan spoke first, and even stuck out her tongue at Lin Feng, her face slightly red.

Upon hearing Zi Yan's confession, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, but after realizing what she meant, he did not refute her.

Recalling all the moments he spent with Zi Yan, and watching her grow into a normal teenage girl after breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, he might have been somewhat of a beast, but if he allowed someone else to take Zi Yan away, then he would be even worse than a beast!

"Void Mastery!"

Zi Yan let out a soft shout, then clapped her hands together. Invisible spatial power rapidly condensed around her, eventually coalescing into a silvery glow—a manifestation of spatial power reaching its peak concentration.

Upon witnessing this scene, both the Luo family patriarch and Lin Feng were astonished, though Lin Feng was unfazed.

He knew that Zi Yan possessed the royal bloodline of the Ancient Dragon of the Void and had recently received personal instruction from the strongest dragon in the dragon race, the old dragon emperor Zhu Kun. Although his use of this space was still far superior to hers, he was not that surprised.

The Luo family patriarch was utterly incredulous, even though he knew that this young girl had achieved the level of a Dou Zong expert at such a young age, and that her aura was as unfathomable as that of Master Lin Feng.

However, its use of space was truly terrifying, almost divine. Although it was from a distant era, he still remembered that the spatial power used by the Dou Zun powerhouse who created this spatial wormhole was not as strong as this!

"Buzz!"

While the Luo family patriarch was still marveling at her feat, Zi Yan had already achieved complete control over the surrounding spatial power. Without further hesitation, she struck the surrounding void repeatedly, causing dense spatial energy to rapidly disperse outwards.

The previously chaotic spatial wormhole stabilized the instant the silver spatial fluctuations passed by. Seeing this, Zi Yan smiled confidently, then swiftly moved, flashing deeper into the spatial wormhole.

Before long, Zi Yan returned, and the previously chaotic spatial wormhole had now completely stabilized. This sight greatly pleased the Luo family patriarch.

"Many thanks to Master Lin Feng and this young lady for their help. I am deeply grateful. The Luo family's treasure trove and doors will always be open to you two!"

After expressing their gratitude, the Luo family patriarch led Lin Feng and Zi Yan back to Black Stone Square. Knowing that Lin Feng and the others did not wish to stay long, they did not say any more pleasantries and quickly led Lin Feng to the Luo family's treasure vault.

At the same time, he instructed the head of the Luo family to take out the medicinal materials for the Breakthrough Pill that had been prepared over the years.

After years of development, Tianya City had long accumulated enormous wealth for the Luo family, if it weren't for the fact that sixth-grade peak alchemists were extremely rare in the Northwest Continent.

Furthermore, the Luo family patriarch had to guard Tianya City. With the Luo family's wealth, it wouldn't be difficult for them to support another low-level Dou Zong.

Of course, this is not only the case for the Luo family. The other major powers in Tianya City are also restrained by the Luo family while keeping them in check. In recent years, no new Dou Zong has been born.

Now that Lin Feng, a seventh-grade alchemy master, has arrived, it is a pity that there is no opportunity to ask the master to refine a seventh-grade pill.

However, when it comes to sixth-grade pills, they have taken out all of the family's collection. This time, the Tianya Luo family must seize this opportunity to create a new Dou Zong combat force.

After Lin Feng and the Luo family patriarch went to the treasure vault on Black Stone Square, Cai Lin and the other girls also chose to leave and travel around this border between the Northwest Continent and the Central State.

Of course, nothing dramatic happened during this time. After the shock of Lin Feng's flames earlier, everyone in Tianya City knew that Lin Feng was not someone to be trifled with.

Moreover, the scene of the group standing in the void had already spread far and wide. Even the most clueless person would know that the incredibly beautiful woman in front of them was a powerful being who could kill them with a flick of her wrist.

Even the most arrogant and domineering lords of Tianya City were immediately imprisoned by their elders. Of course, they were willing to be imprisoned, since they had maids to play with at home anyway.

Moreover, they knew how to prioritize, and although they were usually spoiled and dissolute, they never really messed with anyone they couldn't afford to offend.

"What a pity for those beautiful ladies!"

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Feng originally planned to quickly refine a Breakthrough Pill for the Luo family and then set off for Zhongzhou.

Indeed, the Luo family was truly wealthy enough to produce the materials needed to refine the Dispute-Breaking Pill. They even possessed a considerable amount of the main ingredients for refining that seventh-grade pill, though not enough to form a complete medicinal set.

However, when combined with the medicinal herbs that Lin Feng had collected over the years, he had just managed to gather two sets of low-grade seventh-rank pills. Therefore, Lin Feng decided to refine these two sets of medicinal herbs in Tianya City first.

The reason it took five days was that he wanted to successfully refine both medicines. Therefore, he spent a lot of time closing his eyes and regulating his breathing to bring his energy and spirit to the most perfect state.

And the results did not disappoint him. During these five days, the residents of Tianya City experienced several waves of energy ripples.

Although no sixth-grade pill has ever been produced in Tianya City, there are still many knowledgeable old masters here who can immediately tell you the origin of the energy ripples. Their explanations are so detailed that they seem to know it even better than Lin Feng, the pill refiner.

The emergence of sixth-grade pills is still within the acceptable range for most people.

However, on the third day, when the energy between heaven and earth converged at an unprecedented speed, and all the lightning-attribute energy between heaven and earth gathered in one place, the residents of Tianya City could no longer hold back!

After the knowledgeable old man from the pass reappeared and explained, Tianya City was instantly in an uproar.

"Dan Lei! A seventh-grade elixir!!!"

In this barren Northwest Continent, how many years has it been since a seventh-grade alchemy master appeared? Even though this place is located at the border of two regions, it also has a very convenient teleportation channel like a spatial wormhole.

The people of Tianya City often travel between the two places, but given their status, even if they go to the Central Plains, how could they possibly have the opportunity to come into contact with a noble seventh-grade alchemy master?

When the people of Tianya City saw the lightning that filled the sky, they were all deeply shocked by the power of heaven and earth.

What shocked them even more was yet to come. As the thunderbolts rained down, a silver-white figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and shattered the lightning.

What happened next left them indifferent, because it had exceeded their expectations.

After the silver-white figure shattered the lightning, a young figure, the very one who had appeared outside Tianya City, actually condensed the dissipating lightning into his hand.

This process was repeated until the final bolt of lightning struck. According to a powerful figure who wished to remain anonymous, the power of the lightning in his palm was enough to kill any low-level Dou Zong, and even a mid-level Dou Zong could perish if they were not careful.

The major powers in Tianya City initially mistook the seventh-grade pill for one made by Lin Feng at the request of the Luo family, which threw them into disarray. If it weren't for an inside informant, the major powers would have already moved away as a whole.

No one knows what type of seventh-grade pill the Luo family requested Lin Feng to refine. If it's for restoring battle qi or healing injuries, that's fine. But if it's for rapidly increasing battle qi level, then the major powers of Tianya City might even face the risk of annihilation.

The patriarch of the Luo family was originally capable of fighting three against one and suppressing the three major families. If it weren't for his gradual aging in recent years and the need to preserve spiritual energy, their family wouldn't have been able to increasingly dominate the power of Tianya City.

Fortunately, the information provided by their inside contact finally put their minds at ease.

"So these were the elixirs the master concocted for himself!"

The leaders of the three major powers breathed a sigh of relief and prepared another set of precious gifts before personally visiting the Luo family, attempting to pay a visit to Lin Feng.

The arrival of the three major families, led by three Dou Zong masters, at the Luo family naturally attracted the attention of the Luo family patriarch. Or rather, when the seventh-grade and even sixth-grade pills were produced, he knew that these old foxes would not easily allow the Luo family to recover its strength.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had already promised him that even if he were to refine pills for them, he would not refine the Breakthrough Pill!

This, of course, came at a price: the Luo family of Tianya secretly pledged allegiance to Lin Feng from that point on.

Upon hearing this condition, an uncontrollable surge of joy spread across the old face of the Luo family patriarch.

"Your subordinate Luo Tian greets Lord Lin Feng!"

Looking at Luo Tian, ​​the patriarch of the Luo family, kneeling on one knee, Lin Feng nodded slightly. This could be considered a casual move he made. If any changes occurred in the Northwest Continent in the future, they could be quickly relayed to him through this place.

All he had to do was stop refining Breakthrough Pills for the other three major families!

The reason why the Luo family patriarch surrendered so easily is self-evident. A seventh-grade alchemist at such a young age, and also a high-level Dou Zong expert, surrounded by so many other young Dou Zongs.

It's obvious at a glance that he must be being nurtured by a top-tier power behind him. Therefore, anyone would consider it a great opportunity to be taken in as a core disciple of such a powerful force.

Even if Luo Tian's guess was wrong, and this really is a wild genius, then he needs even more investment and loyalty.

This means that he doesn't have many capable people under his command. As long as the Luo family seizes the opportunity and waits for him to become an eighth-grade alchemist in the future, the Luo family may even have the chance to become a first-class power in the Northwest Continent.

If he could go even further and even relocate his family to the Central Plains, he, Old Luo, would have a chance to soar to the heavens, reach the Dou Zun realm, and be revered as Lord Luo!

"Master Lin Feng, my surname is Xiao. I have come here to request that you refine a Breakthrough Pill!"

"Master Lin Feng, my surname is Chu, and my purpose is the same!"

"Master Lin Feng, my surname is Wang, and my purpose is to refine three Royal-grade pills!"

After a long wait, the powerful figures from the three major families finally saw Lin Feng's true face. Although they already knew from intelligence reports that Lin Feng was the advanced Dou Zong and seventh-grade alchemist, they still couldn't help but be shocked when they actually saw him.

As for why no one suspects that Lin Feng is some old monster who likes to pretend to be young, the powerful life force emanating from Lin Feng is like the rising sun, something that old monsters never possess.

"I already know why you've come, Dou Zongdan. Due to certain reasons, I will not stay here any longer."

Ignoring the grim expressions on the faces of the powerful figures from the major families, Lin Feng continued speaking.

"I only have a few Royal-grade pills left. If you still want to trade, then offer your bargaining chips. My time is running out!"

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the Wang family's patriarch was the first to step forward, smiling as he spoke.

"Master Lin Feng, I wish to exchange three Royal-grade Pills for my family. This is my offer as payment; please take a look!"

Among the three major families, the Wang family is the weakest, and therefore, its collection is not large. However, the Wang family's patriarch is the most perceptive, and even before Lin Feng refused, he could tell that Lin Feng would definitely not refine the Breakthrough Pill for them.

Even the Wang family patriarch had a nagging suspicion: "Has the Luo family already pledged allegiance to this master?"
