Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 29 Peak of Fourth Rank

"call"

After closing his eyes and resting for a quarter of an hour, Lin Feng slowly exhaled a breath of foul air and began the most arduous challenge he had ever faced since he started refining medicine.

A top-tier fourth-grade elixir—the Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill!

He examined the medicinal herbs prepared by Fa Ma one by one: Green Flame Grass, Black Gastrodia.

With over twenty kinds of medicinal herbs, this was the most raw materials Lin Feng had ever used to refine pills, which shows how difficult the process was.

"Bang!"

A ball of blue beast fire appeared in Lin Feng's palm. It was a sixth-order beast fire—Azure Fire. This was one of the three beast fires that had been reabsorbed, and it was still a treasure from the Alchemist Guild.

Of course, the three sixth-tier beast fires nearly exhausted the guild's top-tier beast fires, for which the Alchemist Guild naturally had complaints.

After all, no matter how talented Lin Feng is, it doesn't have much to do with ordinary people like them.

Lin Feng was aware of this, of course, but the principles of the world would not change because of a few complaints from the weak.

Truth is ultimately held by a minority, although it has no impact on the general public as long as it remains unknown to them.

Lin Feng had experienced this deeply in his previous life.

Of course, he wasn't just a blood-sucking monster. All the pills he'd refined over the past few days belonged to the Alchemist Guild, which was why no one had caused trouble so far.

Moreover, Lin Feng also unleashed a powerful weapon—the Five Elements Pill.

That's right, Lin Feng's exclusive pills, from Dou Zhe to Da Dou Shi, Lin Feng has refined ten of each of the three types in the past three days.

This elixir has only circulated within the guild so far; that's right, not a single word about it has been leaked.

Because Lin Feng explained that this kind of pill would not conflict with other pills used for advancement, most alchemists were excited.

This means that two stars' worth of time can be saved to learn alchemy, as taking pills to advance combat power is not very effective.

Just kidding, what mediocre alchemist would care? They'd rather devote all their time to the great alchemy industry.

Moreover, if you don't believe me, even those martial artists who are only good at brute force, if such a pill were placed in front of them, do you think they would eat it?

As for why there are only ten of them, that's a joke. They're all said to be exclusive pills. If they were commonplace, what would be the point of being exclusive?

This is also the real reason why, although the alchemists had complaints about Lin Feng using a large amount of the guild's resources, no one caused trouble.

This involves the interests of most alchemists. If you don't use it, will your children and grandchildren use it?

You think you're so high and mighty, and your children and grandchildren are just as impressive? If that's the case, your coffins will probably be in the underground drainage ditches of the capital a hundred years from now.

First, put the relatively easy-to-refine Azure Flame Grass into the medicine cauldron, and the Azure Flame boiled up, slowly burning it.

The method of refining the Azure Flame Grass is extremely simple. It only requires roasting out the energy of the juice contained within it. For Lin Feng, who has been through countless battles, this is not a particularly difficult step.

As time went by, one medicinal herb after another was added to the cauldron. Fortunately, although it was the first time refining medicine, Lin Feng did not make any mistakes.

Finally, after refining all the medicinal materials, the most difficult step is about to begin: refining with three fires simultaneously.

"Lin Feng, you'd better be careful from now on. The most important thing is to maintain a balance between the three flames." He paused, his expression slightly grave. "Even a slight deviation will trigger a massive energy reaction; even a Dou Wang expert would be injured if they weren't careful. You should do this later..."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Pharaoh," Lin Feng replied, turning his head slightly.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two balls of beast fire rose up in his palms once more, the sixth-tier beast fire—Peach Blossom Fire, Lion-Tiger Beast King Flame—suddenly entering the medicine cauldron.

Under the control of a powerful soul force comparable to that of a seventh-grade cultivator, the three beast flames began to rotate rapidly around the energy cluster at the center of the medicine cauldron.

With each rotation, the fluctuations of the four elements become increasingly similar, accompanied by enormous energy fluctuations.

Fortunately, under his powerful soul control, he was unharmed.

As the energy fluctuations within the medicine cauldron grew stronger, a strange light finally appeared before Lin Feng and his companion's eyes at a certain moment, followed by a rich and refreshing fragrance.

"boom"

As the strange fragrance appeared, a huge wave suddenly appeared in the medicine cauldron, and even spread into the medicine refining room.

Fortunately, the alchemist's standards were all set to the highest level, so the energy fluctuation only caused a ripple around the wall before slowly disappearing.

However, Lin Feng, who was on edge, paid no attention to it. At this moment, he pressed all his soul power down on the violent energy source.

Even Fa Ma, standing to the side, was watching intently, observing whether this genius alchemist could achieve further glory.

"Knock knock knock"

Finally, a roaring sound came from the medicine cauldron, and the two who had been watching closely finally showed a relieved smile.

"Successfully obtained, a peak fourth-grade pill—the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill!"

"Hahaha, Lin Feng, you're truly enviable! In just a few days, you've gone from just advancing to the fourth rank to the peak of the fourth rank." At this moment, Fa Ma, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter after sensing that the pill was taking shape.

"Haha, what a stroke of luck," Lin Feng said, unusually reserved in the face of Fama's constant praise, which surprised Fama.

"However, Pharaoh, do you think if we announce this news, we'll receive even more high-class gifts at the banquet?" Lin Feng rubbed his hands together and winked.

"You little rascal, I never knew you had this side to you," Fa Ma said, both amused and exasperated, looking at Lin Feng, who was acting silly. He was different from his usual shrewdness, and now he seemed to have a bit of a boyish side.

"However, in my opinion, no more will be added, unless..." Fama stared intently at Lin Feng, the burning intensity in his eyes sending a chill down Lin Feng's spine.

"Unless you can advance to the fifth-grade alchemist level!"

"Oh, a fifth-grade alchemist?" Upon hearing this, Lin Feng rubbed his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was considering whether to continue trying to refine fifth-grade pills.

"Lin Feng, I was just teasing you. You don't really want to try it, do you? The gap between the fourth and fifth ranks isn't insurmountable, but it's not easy to cross either." Fa Ma was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Don't be fooled by your seemingly decent success rate in refining fourth-grade pills. That's because you've already studied many fourth-grade pill refining techniques, but you haven't delved much into fifth-grade ones."

Seeing the tense expression on Fama's face, he said, "Haha, Pharaoh, it was just a joke. Even reaching the peak of the fourth rank was just a fluke. I won't blindly attempt anything before I've solidified my fourth rank. Besides..."

He paused, then added, "Besides, I've missed my two lovely wives terribly these past few days!"
