Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 87 Daily Life

The month-long period passed in the blink of an eye, and by the end, no more fluctuations were heard in the hall where Lin Feng was located, unlike when a pill of grade five or lower was formed.

Moreover, Lin Feng's success rate in achieving his pill-forming goals was getting higher and higher, leaving the onlookers utterly astonished. At this rate, even if Lin Feng were to reach the sixth rank on the spot, no one would be surprised.

At this moment, everyone in the hall stared intently, because this was the last pill that Lin Feng had refined.

At this moment, the students and elders inside and outside Canaan Academy were filled with admiration for Lin Feng. Even Elder Huo, who had rushed out of seclusion upon hearing the news, admitted, "I am truly ashamed of my inferiority!"

Even Elder Huo, who has been at the peak of the fifth rank for many years, would find it impossible to refine pills for such a long time, let alone maintain such a high success rate. He is simply a born alchemist!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Feng's movements were fluid and graceful, so much so that even laymen found them as beautiful as art. Not to mention alchemists like Elder Huo, who watched with rapt attention, their eyes filled with fascination.

"Thump"

A familiar, all-too-familiar fluctuation emanated from the medicine cauldron, and Lin Feng, standing in the arena, reached out and summoned a pill covered in pill patterns, which flew into his hand.

"A top-tier Rank 5 elixir—the Battle Spirit Pill! Its surface is covered with pill patterns, indicating superior quality!"

After Lin Feng put away the pills, Elder Huo slowly approached, stroking his beard with a look of emotion on his face.

"Elder Lin Feng, you might just advance to the sixth rank before me!"

After obtaining the sixth-grade alchemy technique from Lin Feng, Elder Huo had been in seclusion for several months, and was confident enough to advance to the sixth grade. If he hadn't been alarmed by the news of Lin Feng's public alchemy, he might have broken through to the sixth grade in one fell swoop before emerging from seclusion.

"Haha, Elder Huo is highly respected. Regardless of who breaks through first, we can still exchange ideas."

Lin Feng did not evade Elder Huo's sentiments this time. At this moment, Lin Feng was not an insignificant figure even in the entire Northwest Continent.

If it weren't for the Soul Palace's millennium-long plan with the Soul Clan, Lin Feng would really like to grow up at a leisurely pace with his beautiful wives, experiencing the customs and culture of this other world.

Hearing Lin Feng's reply, Elder Huo felt a surge of pressure. "Although your ultimate achievements will certainly far surpass mine, you can't leave me behind so quickly!"

"Haha, both of you are gems of the academy, and you will surely both advance to the sixth rank in the future, your fame spreading throughout the Black Corner Region!"

Seeing that the two were having a pleasant conversation, Elder Su Qian also stepped forward to join in the fun.

Su Qian's words seemed to have flipped a switch. Many elders stepped forward, offering their congratulations, especially those elders who had privately commissioned Lin Feng to refine pills like the Vajra Pill.

Judging from his rosy complexion, Lin Feng knew without saying that the medicine was not only effective in strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy, but its effects must also be excellent. However, it was not appropriate to say it aloud in public.

As for the many students in the distance, although they also wanted to express their gratitude, seeing that the elders beside Lin Feng were at least at the Dou Wang level, they wisely withdrew.

After a round of mutual flattery, everyone left with happy expressions. It seemed that Lin Feng's alchemy was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

In the fragrant courtyard, Lin Feng saw Zi Yan busy at work as soon as he entered. She was carefully watering the peach tree, which was radiating a hazy glow, with the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid that Lin Feng had refined.

It was during one night when Lin Feng and Zi Yan were admiring the moon that a sudden thought occurred to them: the bright moon is eternal, but can the peach tree only live for a limited time?

Upon having this idea, Lin Feng immediately thought of his Five Elements Technique. If he cultivated his battle qi using the wood-attribute technique as the dominant element, and then combined it with some spiritual liquid that could promote tree growth, could he change the fate of this tree?

"Lin Feng, you're back."

Ziyan, who was carefully watering the peach tree, heard the noise, raised her head slightly, and exclaimed with delight when she saw who it was.

Seeing Zi Yan's expression, Lin Feng responded in agreement. He then stepped forward, placed his hand on the glowing peach tree, and sensed its inner energy.

"Hmm! Its life force is becoming increasingly vigorous, comparable to that of a typical first-tier magical beast. It's a pity that plants are unlikely to develop sentience."

But Zi Yan waved her hand slightly, seemingly unconcerned, and made a permanent promise between the two of them.

"Hehehe, if we keep watering it for a hundred or a thousand years, it will definitely undergo a huge change. Maybe, there will even be a flower fairy then!"

Infected by Zi Yan's carefree attitude, Lin Feng also burst out laughing.

"Yes, a thousand years is enough time for this peach tree to change."

The two chatted happily, with Zi Yan occasionally making a silly gesture, and Lin Feng laughing along in perfect unison.

After a while, the two got down to business and started talking about the True Dragon Body Refining Technique.

"Zi Yan, how did your aura improve so quickly?"

Scratching her head sheepishly, Miss Zi Yan chuckled. "Lin Feng, ever since I started practicing this technique, my need for energy has been increasing."

"However, the progress is also extremely fast. The efficiency of absorbing energy has greatly increased. In just ten days, he has finished off a supply of pills that would last for three months."

Seemingly realizing she'd let something slip, Miss Ziyan quickly covered her mouth. Then, realizing this was completely out of character, she put her hands on her hips, straightened her back, as if this was something to be proud of.

Lin Feng's lips twitched. "Well, this was already a bottomless abyss, and now with this amplification, it seems I have to hone my alchemy skills to the fullest. Only in this way can I ensure that resources keep up!"

Lin Feng slowly took out a large jade bottle from his storage ring, inside which was the food he had prepared for the purple-haired little girl. It was enough for her for half a year, no, for a month.

Thinking of Zi Yan's energy requirements, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a chill. Then, his heart swelled with envy. This kind of physique, which could continuously improve simply by eating, coupled with her bloodline from the Old Dragon Emperor, was practically a guaranteed path to the pinnacle of the continent.

She grabbed the jade bottle, eagerly opened it, and took a sniff. With a satisfied look, Zi Yan closed her eyes and sighed, "This is the life she wanted!" As if she had thought of something, she quickly patted Lin Feng's hand and made a bold promise.

"Lin Feng, just invest in me. When I grow up, I will definitely bring you the best alchemy techniques in the world." After a pause, as if she had thought of something wonderful, Zi Yan wiped her drool.

"And then, hehehe, continue concocting pills for me!"

Seeing how considerate Zi Yan was of him, Lin Feng's lips curled into a wicked smile. With lightning speed, he snatched the jade bottle from Zi Yan's hand and quickly ran into the bedroom, turning back to say something.

"You've got a good idea! In that case, I'll keep these pills for now. I'll come back for them when Miss Ziyan brings me the world's best alchemy technique! Hahaha."

Zi Yan, stunned by Lin Feng's snatching of the jade bottle, stood frozen in place, her expression filled with disbelief and utter disbelief. She looked down at her empty hands, then squeezed her chubby little fingers in disbelief. It took her a while to finally come to her senses.

"Lin! Feng! Give me back my pills right now, or I'll fight you to the death!"

After playing around in the courtyard for a while, the two lay down under the peach tree to rest, watching the peach blossoms that were occasionally dancing in the wind, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed since the public alchemy session ended. Lin Feng's cultivation level has also gradually improved with his diligent practice, and with the occasional use of Earth Core Tempering Milk, he has reached the peak of the fifth star.

However, seemingly due to a lack of combat experience, Lin Feng was unable to break through this barrier no matter what he tried. Remembering the wary nature of the magical beasts in the mountains, Lin Feng had no choice but to focus on improving his sixth-grade alchemy skills.

Remembering the saying "many hands make light work," Lin Feng immediately wrote to Elder Huo, who was also aiming to break through to the sixth rank. Instead of comparing their breakthrough speed, they should discuss it together and encourage each other. After all, they weren't enemies.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng looked around and, seeing that no one was around, wrote another letter. After a long while, he signed it at the end: "To Little Fairy Doctor!"
