Although with his current soul strength accumulation, he was still a bit short of breaking through to the Spirit Realm Soul, he had in his hands not only the soul of Lue Feng Zun Zhe, which was at least mid-stage Spirit Realm, but also the Fallen Heart Flame, a treasure capable of refining souls and extracting their essence.
As long as he didn't do anything reckless, he could rely on these soul bodies to successfully step into the Spirit Realm Soul.
"Since you're so confident, then I'll allow it. I hope you can succeed."
Seeing Lin Feng's confidence, Elder Zhong nodded in agreement. In his mind, it would of course be great if Lin Feng succeeded this time — and even if he failed, it would still help temper his mentality.
"Many thanks, Elder Zhong."
Hearing the elder's approval, a hint of excitement flashed across Lin Feng's face as he clasped his hands in gratitude.
Elder Zhong also nodded slightly before his figure suddenly disappeared from Lin Feng's sight.
"Brother Lin Feng, I didn't expect you to surpass me. Keep it up!"
The moment the elder left, Dan Chen hurriedly stepped forward to cheer him on.
"Mm. That thing I gave you — once you absorb it, not only will it strengthen the fire attribute within your body, but it'll also greatly increase your affinity with the Green Lotus Core Flame. It's best if you use it within this period."
Lin Feng reached out and gently brushed her smooth bluish-gray hair with a soft smile.
"Okay."
Thinking of the Core-Fire Lotus Seed, Dan Chen nodded hard, her small head bobbing.
Now that their relationship had improved, Dan Chen no longer resisted such gestures. Things like him patting her head had long become a familiar habit.
"Lin Feng, that thing you gave to Dan Chen earlier, what exactly was it?"
At this moment, a faint fragrance drifted over as Cao Ying's slender figure appeared before Lin Feng, curiosity sparkling in her eyes.
"Nothing much, just a little something."
Lin Feng smiled lightly, then changed the topic. "Why, didn't you go discuss alchemy with the others today?"
Hearing that, Cao Ying's narrow, slightly lazy eyes flashed with a different kind of meaning, and her lips curved into a charming smile. "Don't tell me you're jealous just because I was talking to other men?"
"Talking to people is your freedom. I'm not your anything, so I can't control you even if I wanted to."
Lin Feng shook his head calmly as he replied.
"Let's not talk about that." Cao Ying's eyes rippled playfully. "I heard you've been cultivating some Dou Techniques that require gold-attribute Rank 8 magic cores.
How about this — you give me one of those things you gave Dan Chen, and I'll get you two Rank 8 gold-attribute magic cores. How does that sound?"
Her voice was soft and alluring, dripping with temptation. Although she didn't know exactly what Lin Feng had given Dan Chen, her intuition told her it must be something special. That was why she was being so persistent.
Lin Feng, upon hearing her words, couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. This woman still hasn't given up on the Core-Fire Lotus Seed…
"Lin Feng, we're all fellow disciples here. Ying'er just asked for a little something, it's not that big of a deal. Why be so stingy? How about this — you give it to Ying'er now, and I'll bring you two Rank 8 gold-attribute magic cores later."
Seizing the chance to show off, Song Qing immediately stepped forward and spoke with clear disdain toward Lin Feng.
Of course, while speaking, his gaze kept sneaking glances at Cao Ying, hoping his boldness would impress her, that she'd swoon at his dominance, and then… heh heh heh.
Unfortunately for him, Cao Ying was far too sharp-minded to feel anything for him. At that moment, her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Lin Feng, waiting for his response.
Standing beside Lin Feng, Dan Chen frowned slightly. Given her good relationship with Lin Feng, hearing someone speak to him that way naturally annoyed her. But just as she was about to speak, Lin Feng's calm voice sounded.
"Alright. But this item's value is hard to measure, so it's up to you whether you find it worth it or not."
As his words fell, he brushed his storage ring lightly and flicked his finger.
A jade bottle shot out, flying straight toward Cao Ying. The former swiftly caught the jade bottle that flew toward her. As soon as it landed in her hand, Cao Ying immediately felt a faint warmth radiating from its surface.
At the same time, the Blood Demon Flame within her body suddenly flickered, as if it had encountered something it feared. However, upon sensing that whatever was inside posed no real danger, the Blood Demon Flame soon calmed down again and quietly settled back into her dantian.
"This thing is really strange. It actually made the flame inside me react like that."
Cao Ying's gaze lingered on the jade bottle in her hand, curiosity rising in her heart.
"Dan Chen, I'll see you in a while. Cao Ying, don't forget about those magic cores."
After saying that, Lin Feng's figure suddenly shot toward the distant sky, disappearing from everyone's sight in a flash. Once his figure vanished, Dan Chen simply said a few casual words to Cao Ying before leaving as well.
"That bastard, how dare he ignore me? Just you wait!"
Seeing Lin Feng act as if he didn't even exist, saying a few words to Cao Ying before leaving directly, Song Qing's hatred toward him grew even deeper.
Cao Ying, standing nearby, glanced at the flustered and angry Song Qing. A trace of mockery flashed quickly through her crimson eyes. After saying a few polite words, she too chose to leave. After all, she was eager to find out what exactly was inside that jade bottle.
"Whoosh~"
After flying for a while, Lin Feng descended in front of a cluster of black stone buildings.
These were the cultivation chambers built by the Pill Tower specifically for those who needed a secluded place to train. This time, Lin Feng had come here to enter seclusion and break through.
After all, if he refined Lue Feng Zun Zhe's soul with the Fallen Heart Flame outside, it would easily draw unwanted attention.
Everyone allowed into the Small Pill Tower was no weakling, after all. So, he felt much safer cultivating inside one of these chambers that could completely isolate one's aura.
"Rumble~"
As Lin Feng pushed open the stone door of an empty chamber, the scene inside immediately appeared before his eyes.
The interior was simple — aside from a stone platform clearly meant for meditation, there was nothing else within.
After scanning the room, Lin Feng stepped inside, shut the heavy stone door, locked it, and walked to the platform to sit down. Then, he brushed his storage ring, and with a faint flicker of light, a jade bottle wrapped in an invisible flame appeared in his hand.
Holding the bottle, a formless flame surged up from Lin Feng's palm, heating the jade container. From within, faint and indistinct screams seemed to echo softly.
