Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 62 will be entrusted to Elder Huo.

Within a secret chamber filled with abundant energy, belonging to the Alchemy Department, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on a stone bed, his eyes half-open and half-closed. With each slight rise and fall of his body, countless unrefined battle qi energies entered his body.

After circulating through the Five Elements Technique for several cycles, it not only imbued the substance with Lin Feng's aura but also made it even purer before slowly merging into his body. Accompanying this, Lin Feng's aura subtly rose a little.

"call"

After finishing his seclusion, Lin Feng first exhaled a breath of stale air to relieve the fatigue of the long seclusion, and then opened his mouth to ponder.

"After entering the Dou Wang realm, the progress of my cultivation has become increasingly slow. Even after refining most of the monkey wine and spending a month in arduous training, I have only managed to increase my level by one star and stabilize it."

Lin Feng sighed inwardly. Even after reaching the Dou Wang realm, he could still progress at this speed. Even with the consumption of rare and precious materials, it was an insurmountable barrier for others. If anyone heard his reflections, they'd probably be furious.

Unfortunately, even at this speed, it was still incredibly stressful for Lin Feng, a transmigrator who was familiar with the plot.

At this rate, by the time the Soul Emperor begins collecting the Emperor Jade, it's uncertain whether Lin Feng will be a match for a Soul Palace protector. After all, the later the cultivation stage, the more difficult the advancement becomes.

As for why they didn't take the Five Elements Pill or the Fighting Spirit Pill, which are pills that help Fighting Kings advance to higher ranks.

On the one hand, Lin Feng had already planned that once he advanced to the sixth star of Dou Wang, he would use these two pills to break through to the ninth star Dou Wang realm in one fell swoop. At that time, he would seek opportunities or go into seclusion to break through to Dou Huang. This was the most time-saving way.

On the other hand, it was because of a woman who gave Lin Feng a headache.

Recalling the day he publicly refined a fifth-grade pill, Vice Dean Hu Qian brought a woman in red to congratulate him. At the time, seeing the strange look in the woman's eyes, Lin Feng simply assumed it was admiration for a top-tier alchemist.

In the following days, she became a constant source of annoyance for Lin Feng. Indeed, this woman, who disliked men and preferred women in the original story, and even fought with Xiao Yan for this only to be thoroughly humiliated by him, was Hu Jia, the granddaughter of Hu Qian.

Perhaps it was because of Lin Feng's outstanding performance that day, coupled with the frenzied shouts of many usually arrogant alchemists, that they developed a strange feeling towards Lin Feng.

In the following days, they would frequently find excuses to disturb Lin Feng, severely impacting his mood for alchemy. If it weren't for the need to protect Canaan Academy and consider Hu Qian's feelings, Lin Feng might have followed Xiao Yan's example and ruthlessly destroyed the flower.

Therefore, after learning that Little Fairy Doctor had gone into seclusion to break through to the Great Dou Master level, Lin Feng decided to go into seclusion to break through his Dou Qi level as well, and also to stay away from the stubborn Hu Jia.

Now that he has advanced to the second star of Dou Wang, it's time to relieve the fatigue of his long period of seclusion.

"Moreover, it seems imperative to find a low-level cultivation technique to temporarily serve as the dominant technique for the Five Elements Technique."

Lin Feng recalled the increasingly uncontrollable battle qi energy during his breakthrough, and felt a wave of fear. If it weren't for his soul power, which far surpassed his realm, which forcibly suppressed the runaway battle qi, he might have already exploded and died.

"Perhaps we could consult Elder Huo!"

Lin Feng stroked his chin, and an idea slowly formed in his mind. As for Vice Dean Hu Qian, the person he wanted to stay away from most right now was this old guy. If it weren't for his instigation, Hu Jia might not have come knocking on his door so frequently.

With many thoughts flashing through his mind, Lin Feng suddenly stood up, slowly stretched, and his body, which hadn't moved for almost a month, made cracking sounds.

"Let's go see Little Fairy Doctor first!"

Emerging from the secret room, I looked at the bright sunlight. Although it was a little dazzling, it seemed to lift my spirits.

Walking through the alchemy department's area, Lin Feng frequently encountered alchemists of varying levels who greeted him warmly. Although Lin Feng had entered seclusion only a few days after refining the fifth-grade pill, he had already explained many alchemists' doubts in those short few days.

Therefore, Lin Feng has an excellent reputation among many alchemists, and many even privately address him as "teacher".

After nodding to the many alchemists, Lin Feng, led by one of them, arrived at Elder Huo's location. The alchemist then withdrew upon arrival.

"Tap, tap, tap"

At this moment, Elder Huo was still in the familiar herb field, tending to various unorthodox spiritual herbs, just as he had when Lin Feng first met him. Lin Feng slowly walked forward, deliberately making noise with his footsteps to attract Elder Huo's attention.

He slowly raised his head, shifting his attention from the beloved elixir. Seeing that the person who had come wasn't that annoying fly, he breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief. As they drew closer, he felt a surge of joy. Although he had only interacted with Lin Feng for three to five days, Lin Feng's various thoughts and ideas had given Elder Huo a sense of sudden enlightenment.

If Lin Feng knew his thoughts, he wouldn't be surprised, after all, this was his way of learning about the inheritance of the continent's number one alchemist. Although he only had the first to seventh grades, and the part he exchanged with Elder Huo was only the fifth grade stage.

However, this was enough to move Elder Huo. Although he still saw no hope of breaking through to the sixth rank, he dared to say that with just one month of exchange, his success rate in refining fifth-rank pills could increase by at least 10%.

Don't underestimate this small percentage. Although he has never advanced to the sixth rank, Elder Huo is confident that even his success rate in refining peak fifth-rank pills is not much lower than that of a true sixth-rank alchemy master.

This demonstrates just how invaluable the methods and ideas Lin Feng brought. It's safe to say that in just these few days, Elder Huo has been completely captivated by Lin Feng; as long as it's not something as trivial as betraying the academy, Elder Huo would likely agree to anything.

This is the allure of alchemy; more precisely, it is the charm of the legacy of the continent's foremost alchemist.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little envious of Xiao Yan, and at the same time looked in a certain direction of the Black Corner Region, sighing to himself.

"What kind of stupid person would kill such a teacher for an uncertain cultivation method?"

"Elder Lin Feng?"

Just as Lin Feng was lost in thought, a voice called him back to reality. It was Elder Huo who noticed that Lin Feng was daydreaming and couldn't help but call out softly.

"Elder Huo, I have a request, but I don't know if you would be interested?"

Coming to his senses, Lin Feng slowly spoke. Elder Huo was indeed an impatient person; apart from matters concerning alchemy, he was quite direct about everything else.

"Elder Lin Feng, there's no need for such formalities. As long as I don't betray the academy, I will do my best to help you. However..."

Elder Huo paused for a moment, then chuckled.

"However, Elder Lin Feng should exchange alchemy insights with me more often!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was taken aback, then shook his head and chuckled. This Elder Huo had agreed before even understanding his request; his personality certainly matched the character "fire."

Well then, since Elder Huo has already said so, if he continues to beat around the bush, it will only make it seem like Lin Feng is harboring some kind of ulterior motive.

Therefore, Lin Feng spoke frankly.

"Elder Huo, I wish to exchange my sixth-grade alchemy technique for a low-grade earth-level cultivation method. I wonder if that is possible?"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Elder Huo hesitated. Lin Feng, who had thought the matter was simple, found it strange. Could there be some hidden story behind this?

Seeing Lin Feng's puzzled expression, Elder Huo answered him directly.

"Elder Lin Feng, you may not know this, but in my opinion, the sixth-rank alchemy technique is definitely more valuable than the earth-rank cultivation method."

Then, the tone of his voice changed, seemingly tinged with embarrassment.

"However, I have been at Canaan Academy since I was a child, so everything I have learned belongs to the academy. If I were to pass on any techniques, the academy would have to make the decision."

Then, seeing Lin Feng's thoughtful expression, Elder Huo hurriedly spoke.

"Elder Lin Feng, rest assured, I will handle this matter. In addition, Elder Lin Feng, you are now a member of the academy, so there will definitely be no problem."

Hearing this, Lin Feng felt relieved.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to Elder Huo!"
