Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 61 Elder of the Alchemy Department

Inside the Alchemy Department of the Outer Court of Canaan Academy, the usually bustling discussion area, often accompanied by heated arguments, was unusually quiet, all because of a young figure standing in the center of the square.

Seeing Lin Feng meditating with his eyes closed, the many alchemists held their breath and stared intently, because Elder Huo announced that this young alchemist, whom they had never met before, was about to refine a fifth-grade pill on the spot.

"call"

As everyone waited, Lin Feng finally adjusted his condition to its peak, slowly opened his eyes, and a divine light shot out from them. Then, with a wave of his hand, numerous medicinal herbs emerged from his storage ring, which he controlled to float in front of the many alchemists.

"Seven-Star Grass, Spirit Wood Heart"

Experienced alchemists immediately recognized the origin of the medicinal material, but limited by their own skill level, although they had a vague guess, they dared not be sure if it was the kind of pill they had guessed.

Just then, a magic core radiating immense energy slowly rose from Lin Feng's palm, and a reassuring voice rang out.

"Young friend Lin Feng, if I'm not mistaken, these are the medicinal herbs needed to refine a grade-five pill—the Seven-Star Spirit Wood Pill!"

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Elder Huo gently stroking his beard.

"Elder Huo is indeed experienced. That's right, what I'm refining this time is the Seven Star Spirit Wood Pill."

After giving his reply, Lin Feng focused all his attention on the numerous medicinal herbs. He decided to refine a fifth-grade pill in front of everyone. On one hand, he didn't want any brainless individuals to provoke him in the future; on the other hand, he wanted to solidify Elder Huo's, or rather the academy's, determination to invest in him.

Therefore, in order to avoid any unexpected problems, Lin Feng specifically chose the Seven Star Spirit Wood Pill, which was easy to process and that he had prior experience in refining.

Clearing his mind of distractions, Lin Feng, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, threw all the medicinal herbs and the fifth-tier magic core into the six medicine cauldrons in one go.

"Bang!"

A deep blue flame rose from Lin Feng's hand. With the support of his Dou Qi, which had already advanced to the Dou Wang level, it emitted intense heat. Some alchemists who were nearby felt the heat rushing towards them and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

However, Lin Feng was able to control such terrifying energy steadily. With this method of fire control alone, no alchemist present, except for Elder Huo, dared to say that they could rival him.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng waved his hand, sending the flame into the medicine cauldron, beginning the part that many alchemists looked forward to the most: refining medicine.

"The method for refining the Spirit Wood Heart is to maintain a balance between the flame temperature and the surface of the wood heart so as not to damage the gentle energy inside the wood heart."

Just as everyone was watching Lin Feng's fluid movements with bated breath, hoping to learn more advanced refining techniques or experience from this observation, a voice slowly rang in their ears.

Following the sound, they found it coming from Lin Feng, who was refining pills. When they realized he was explaining the process as he refined the pills, everyone couldn't help but feel a deep respect and admiration for his alchemy skills.

They were deeply grateful for his selfless explanation. So, these alchemists, who were usually arrogant, watched the refining process with respectful expressions and full concentration.

Some clever alchemists even took out scrolls they had prepared beforehand and wrote down all of Lin Feng's words.

The exchange area was eerily quiet. Even Elder Hu, who knew nothing about alchemy, held his breath and watched intently. It was the first time he had ever witnessed the refining of a fifth-grade pill.

The flames continued to scorch the medicinal herbs, making a crackling sound. To make the explanation easier, Lin Feng deliberately slowed down. However, with the passage of time, the herbs and the demon core finally reached a point where they could be fused into a pill.

"Watch closely, the final step of fusing the pill into a fifth-grade elixir is not as simple as it seems."

Lin Feng slowly recounted the teachings that Fa Ma had given him that day to everyone. Upon hearing this, many alchemists, especially the few fourth-grade alchemists, had their eyes light up and held their breath, afraid of disturbing Lin Feng.

After explaining all the details, Lin Feng gave one last hint and then began the final step: condensing the core.

"boom"

A powerful surge of soul force erupted from Lin Feng's body, penetrating the medicine cauldron and firmly controlling every slight change in the energy cluster.

"Clang clang clang"

Suddenly, Lin Feng slammed his palm hard onto the medicine cauldron, causing it to emit a series of loud sounds that echoed throughout the communication area.

At the same time, inside the medicine cauldron, Lin Feng's soul power pressed down hard on the energy ball.

"Thump"

First, a ripple of energy spread out from the medicine cauldron, striking the inside of the cauldron and making a sound. Immediately afterwards, a rich fragrance of pills with strange colors appeared before everyone's eyes.

Above the exchange area, a sudden energy fluctuation appeared, causing chaos in the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy).

"Hmm, this is a fifth-grade pill. Perhaps Old Man Huo has taken a liking to it and, since he happens to have nothing else to do, might as well go and take a look."

Hu Qian, who was leisurely watering his flowers at home, sensed this energy fluctuation, suddenly looked up in the direction of the alchemy department, and muttered to himself.

"Grandpa, I want to go too! I've never seen what a fifth-grade pill looks like before!"

Beside them, a woman dressed in red spoke up, her expression carrying a hint of curiosity.

"Haha, then Grandpa will take you to see it."

As he spoke, wings of battle aura rose from his back, and he grabbed the woman's shoulders, leaping into the air and transforming into a colorful ball of light that streaked across the sky.

Meanwhile, other Dou Wang level experts who sensed this aura either flew away with slightly interested Dou Qi wings, or were held up by other matters and unable to go. As for those at the Dou Ling or Da Dou Shi level, they made no move whatsoever.

Although they could sense this energy, given their status, qualifications, or strength, going or not going would be the same. They might as well seize the time to cultivate and hope to reach the first level of Dou Wang.

The Dou Wang elders flying overhead from time to time also attracted the attention of many students, but apart from a few students who had reached the level of Great Dou Master, most of them were unaware of what had happened.

Meanwhile, a thunderous applause erupted in the alchemy exchange area. Many alchemists, their faces flushed with excitement, clapped and roared with all their might, venting their inner shock.

Everything, all because of that person in the arena, that young figure.

He raised his right hand, and a pill radiating a hazy glow floated slowly in his palm—the very goal that the alchemists of this place would pursue their entire lives.

"Gentlemen,"

When Lin Feng spoke, all the excited alchemists stopped what they were doing and stared intently at the master in their hearts.

"This is the fifth-grade elixir—the Seven-Star Spirit Wood Pill."

"ah"

As soon as he finished speaking, the numerous alchemists couldn't help but let out another earth-shattering shout.

Meanwhile, the many Dou Wang elders who came upon hearing the commotion learned the identities of the young man in the arena through Elder Hu's introduction, and they all expressed their admiration for the young prodigy.

At the same time, there was also a sense of joy. With this young man's talent, he might very well advance to the sixth rank within the next few years. At that time, the academy would have its own sixth-rank alchemist, and there would be no need to humbly beg Han Feng for help.

Thinking of this, the elders stroked their beards with excitement. Meanwhile, the woman who had come with Vice Dean Hu Qian looked at the figure attracting so much attention and had a strange look in her eyes.

When Vice Dean Hu Qian noticed this, he was taken aback, then his eyes narrowed slightly, not out of suspicion of Lin Feng, but out of joy. After all, his granddaughter was no ordinary woman.

"Young friend Lin Feng, I suppose I should take advantage of you."

Meanwhile, Little Fairy Doctor, who was in seclusion in a secret chamber undergoing a breakthrough, and a woman dressed in fine clothes with a cold expression, both in a large hall in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, simultaneously felt a chill run down their spines and shivered.

"Haha, Elder Lin Feng is truly a prodigy! It's a blessing for the academy to have him join as an elder!"

Just then, Hu Qian led the women and many Dou Wang elders out and slowly approached Lin Feng.

"Vice Dean!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, the numerous alchemists quickly bowed slightly in respect.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. This is the real protagonist today."

Then he stepped forward, took Lin Feng's hand, and slowly raised it, solemnly introducing him to everyone.

"Everyone, this young man who is already a fifth-grade alchemist and a Dou Wang level expert will be the elder of the alchemy department from now on—Lin Feng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in celebratory applause once again.

Lin Feng definitely didn't like Hu Jia.
