The mountain peaks soared into the clouds, seemingly piercing the heavens, shrouded in mist, as if mysterious magical beasts roamed among them. Whenever sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the mountaintops, the entire mountain range seemed to be plated with a layer of gold, truly breathtakingly beautiful.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
At this moment, a black figure flashed by, shattering this beautiful scene. After a few leaps, Lin Feng stopped atop a tall tree, sitting down to rest.
He slowly placed his hand on his forehead, gazing into the distance, where everything was lush and verdant, with the occasional ferocious roar of a beast sending chills down one's spine.
After lowering his hand, Lin Feng sighed inwardly, "I've been in the Monster Mountain Range for three days to consolidate my two-star advancement. Life without Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor is unbearable."
"However..." he clenched his fist, "These three days of non-stop fighting, coupled with the medicinal baths, have made my physical strength nearly comparable to a fourth-tier monster, even without high-level body-tempering techniques."
"Moreover," Lin Feng licked his lips, gazing again at the dense orchard in the distance, "as long as I obtain that treasure, achieving physical strength comparable to a fourth-tier monster is no problem at all. It will even greatly promote my battle qi cultivation."
After resting with his eyes closed for about half an hour, Lin Feng suddenly opened them, looking into the distance with a strange tone.
"Hunting time begins..."
He circulated his battle qi to his legs, gathered momentum, and with a leap, disappeared into the mountains.
...
Inside a vast wild orchard, Lin Feng hid in a dense thicket, intently observing the scene within, deep in thought.
"Awooo, woof..."
In the lush orchard, a group of lively and adorable monkeys were frolicking. Their bodies were agile, their fur vibrant, like leaping flames, darting among the treetops. Sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, casting golden hues on their nimble figures.
Sometimes they played and frolicked among the branches, sometimes they climbed to the top of the canopy, curiously gazing at the distant scenery.
In this mysterious forest, the monkeys lived carefree lives. They fed on wild fruits, made tree hollows their homes, and lived in harmony with nature.
Spirit Flame Monkeys: Social magical beasts, gentle in nature, fond of playing and frolicking. They are skilled at brewing wine; because their monkey wine is rich and pure in spiritual energy, their tribe generally has a high rank, with the chieftain even possessing the peak of the fourth rank.
Lin Feng rubbed his chin, looking at the monkey king lying on a boulder basking in the sun, and the generals guarding him beside him.
"This is troublesome!" Lin Feng frowned, looking at the powerful aura emanating from the monkey king and his generals. "I didn't expect that not only are the monkey kings at the peak of the fourth rank, but even the guarding monkey generals are close to reaching the fourth rank."
This dashed his hopes of forcing a trade. Ha, just kidding, even if his Five Elements Technique was powerful, his highest fighting skill was only at the Profound rank. He didn't have the Emperor Seal Technique to easily handle things like the young lady.
Although he had a flying fighting skill, relying on the power of the Five Elements Technique, he could easily traverse the outer edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. But in that case, he wouldn't be able to get the monkey wine. Moreover, looking at this group of gentle monkeys, "Indiscriminate killing, without any grudges, doesn't seem right!"
Lin Feng stroked his chin, deep in thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, a glint of light flashing in them. "I can do this!" Immediately afterward, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
...
Beyond a pleasant waterfall, Lin Feng stood there, looking around. "This should be the place."
Then, in a flash, he entered a cave. With a wave of his hand, a surge of battle qi swept through, condensing the dust inside the cave into a ball.
He held it in his palm and examined it for a moment. "It seems my battle qi has indeed stabilized. When I first broke through, I didn't have such refined control." Then, with a flick of his wrist, he tossed it outside the cave.
Lin Feng took out various household items prepared by Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor from his storage ring and arranged them one by one.
He sighed, "I really can't live without them!" He seemed to recall Qing Lin's tearful appearance at their parting, and Little Fairy Doctor's reluctant expression.
With everything ready, Lin Feng reached into his storage ring and took out five medicine cauldrons and all the necessary medicinal herbs.
This time, he was going to refine Drunken Dragon Saliva, which could render even fifth-tier magical beasts unconscious, and Beast Language Pills for prevention.
Drunken Dragon Saliva: Not a pill, it only works on magical beasts or humans with magical beast blood. It can render magical beasts below the fifth tier unconscious for three hours. The main ingredients are Drunken Dragon Fruit and Confusion Grass… Beast
Language Pill: Ranked third grade, its effect is that after a person consumes it, they can communicate with magical beasts. It's simple to refine, the main ingredients are Beast Spirit Fruit and Clarity Grass…
Lin Feng's plan was to first use Drunken Dragon Saliva to see if he could take the Monkey Wine without anyone noticing. If all else fails, he can use the Beast Language Pill to communicate; if that fails, he'll have to escape using his flying combat skills.
Lin Feng assessed his own combat strength: two-star Dou Ling, with rich combat experience—well, not much of an advantage here. His five-attribute Dou Qi is several times higher quality than ordinary people,
comparable to a four-star Dou Ling. His Five Elements Technique is comparable to the Earth Rank; to be conservative, he'll only add one star, making him comparable to a five-
star Dou Ling. His combat skills are also not an advantage; those who reach Dou Ling level are basically all at the Profound Rank. Oh, right, there's also his flying combat skill, high-altitude suppression, which is a one-star advantage. Add to that his near-Dou Ling-level physical strength, and another star. As for soul power, he can't unleash it due to the lack of soul skills.
Therefore, Lin Feng's strength can be considered that of a seven-star Dou Ling. This is something he achieved through his own efforts, not by relying on anything like Deep Blue, which is extremely difficult.
However, this is still ineffective against the powerful Spirit Flame Monkey troop.
Therefore, he can only hope that the Drunken Dragon Saliva will work.
With everything prepared, Lin Feng conjured a ball of beast fire in his palm and tossed it into the cauldron with a flick of his wrist.
The fire ignited, the cauldron began to heat...
Once the temperature inside the cauldron reached a certain level, Lin Feng tossed both portions of medicinal herbs into it.
That's right, it was two refinements in one cauldron. Although he hadn't yet gathered all the ingredients to refine a fourth-grade pill and advance to the fourth-grade alchemist level
, Lin Feng's mastery of the pill formulas he possessed was terrifyingly high. His understanding of pharmacology had also reached its current peak, even allowing him to create his own exclusive pill—the Five Elements (Dou Zhe, Dou Shi) Pill, ranked second grade. The Five Elements (Great Dou Shi)
Pill, ranked at the peak of the third grade. Therefore, Lin Feng dared to claim he could rival a fourth-grade alchemist in refining these mere third-grade pills.
"Sizzle..."
The flames continuously scorched the medicinal herbs, gradually melting them. After reaching a critical point, Lin Feng's hand seals changed.
A powerful surge of soul force erupted from his body, slamming down fiercely onto the two primordial masses.
"Give me...condense..."
