"Hmm, it's somewhat competent."

Ling Feng said indifferently.

"You... what grade of elixir are you going to refine? With your current cultivation, it would at least have to be a fifth or even sixth-grade elixir to be effective, right?" Yang Huanzhi swallowed hard, not daring to assume more.

After all, Ling Feng was too young; those alchemy grandmasters were at least forty or fifty, if not seventy or eighty-year-old geezers.

"Seventh-grade elixir, Xuanhai Ningshen Pill."

Ling Feng said with a calm look, seemingly indifferent. Tuoba Yan, standing to the side, had long understood Ling Feng's accomplishments in alchemy, so she wasn't surprised.

"What did you say?"

Only Yang Huanzhi was almost shocked enough to jump up, "Sev... Seventh grade? Then you must at least be a sixth level Alchemist? How is that possible?"

"I suppose it's sixth level."

Ling Feng pursed his lips and said lightly, "Alright, I'm off to refine elixirs now. Remember not to let outsiders disturb me."

With that said, Ling Feng turned and walked directly towards the Alchemy Room, while Yang Huanzhi was left in a state of bewilderment.

In his early twenties, he could easily overpower a half-step Human Emperor, yet he was also a sixth level Alchemist!

This guy, is he even human?

Yang Huanzhi even began to suspect that Ling Feng might have been possessed by some ancient monster, otherwise how could he be so heaven-defying?

...

Inside the Alchemy Room.

"Seventh-grade high-level elixir!"

Ling Feng took out the materials for refining the Xuanhai Ningshen Pill, looked at the barely fifth-grade quality Pill Furnace in the room, and smiled wryly, "Let's hope for success."

Although Ling Feng was not short on money, the quantities of those materials were not large, barely enough for two attempts.

Calming his mind, Ling Feng began the process of refining the elixir, starting by pre-heating the Pill Furnace.

This low-grade Pill Furnace could not heat up instantly like the Flame Valley Mysterious Spirit Tripod, so it required a preheating period, which was a test of the alchemist's elemental power consumption.

Next, Ling Feng began purifying the materials, proceeding in an orderly fashion.

...

About an hour later.

In front of the inn's entrance.

"Are you sure it's inside here?"

Murong Han asked coldly.

Outside the palanquin, a Murong family's henchman, forehead beaded with cold sweat, echoed, "Steward Sir, I'm best at tracking auras, those two are definitely inside this inn, no mistake about it!"

Murong Qianjun said gloomily, "Go and claim your reward, a million upper grade Elemental Stones!"

Upon hearing this, several attendants around threw envious glances at the lucky fellow. A million, a full million upper grade Elemental Stones!

This was equivalent to their salaries for decades.

And the most damnable thing was, those Ling Feng fellows hadn't bothered to hide at all. After leaving Sky Alliance Commerce, they brazenly returned to the inn, which was just across a street from the Commerce; anyone with eyes could see it.

Just because that guy spoke up faster than them, he got a reward of a million upper grade Elemental Stones.

This was just too gratifying!

"Damn you, Dead Pig! How infuriating!"

Murong Qianjun trembled with rage, this guy had attacked him and didn't even bother to hide, completely disregarding him!

"Calm down."

Murong Han gently pressed his son's shoulder, saying sternly, "Since I've decided to back you up, that boy is certain to die today, no matter where he comes from, he's destined to die today!"

"Thank you, father!"

Murong Qianjun gritted his teeth, in his heart wanting nothing more than to slice Ling Feng's flesh piece by piece.

He had been beaten so badly, and his handsome face was disgraced in front of so many people, such humiliation could only be washed away with blood.

"Hmph, it's all because I hesitated for too long!"

Murong Han sighed lightly, a teardrop-shaped gem appeared in his palm, and he said resentfully, "If I had let you use this 'Heavenly God's Tears' to trade for the Yin Yang Stone earlier, this wouldn't have happened today."

Murong Qianjun glanced at the "Heavenly God's Tears", swallowing a little unnoticeably.

Back then, when this Heavenly God's Tears was auctioned at Sky Alliance Commerce, nearly half of their family's fortune was spent to bid on it.

This treasure, named for its tear-like shape, isn't the tears of some divine spirit, but a very special extraterrestrial stone.

This strange stone possesses an extremely heaven-defying ability, which is repair.

Any grade of divine weapon or sharp tool can face wear or breakage, but the "Heavenly God's Tears" can repair any weapon, regardless of the grade of the divine weapon or the material it's made from, it's no exception.

What spiritual artifact, holy artifact, all are no exceptions!

Thus, when this treasure surfaced, it caused a sensation across the entire Tianlan Sea Domain, eventually being acquired by Murong Han.

The Yin Yang Stone is precious, but if exchanged with the "Heavenly God's Tears," Yang Shuzi would never refuse.

"Ah, but now that things have come to this, there's no use thinking about it anymore."

Murong Han looked at his son, placing the Heavenly God's Tears in Murong Qianjun's palm, said blandly, "Jun'er, now I give you this divine stone, this time not only will I get back the Yin Yang Stone for you, but also give you this Heavenly God's Tears, do you feel a bit better?"

"Thank you, father!"

Murong Qianjun clutched the Heavenly God's Tears tightly, feeling a surge of excitement.

It wasn't in vain that he took that beating!
