Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Already Failed? (2nd Update)

Finally, Ling Feng sprung into action!

He weaved through rows of shelves, feigning a brief glance each time, and then with unerring precision, selected the necessary materials. Throughout the process, Ling Feng deliberately slowed down, yet he managed to pick out all the materials within half an hour.

"Who would have thought that this young man could, in such a short half an hour, pick out the Alchemy Materials he needed from such a vast material storehouse!" An Elder could not help but exclaim repeatedly in admiration.

"Hmph, these materials are already categorized in a certain order. As long as one masters the rules, there is nothing difficult in selecting materials quickly," someone retorted immediately, clearly annoyed by Ling Feng’s display of excellence.

"Oh? Then may I ask if you, with just a few glances at the materials around, can ascertain the rules of the various material classifications?"

"I..." The Elder who questioned Ling Feng stalled, suddenly at a loss for words.

These Elders indeed knew the classification rules for these materials, but Ling Feng wasn’t from the Alchemy Master Guild, so how could he know their rules?

Hong Haotian watched the materials Ling Feng had chosen, nodding inwardly: It seems this young man has already figured out that the test this time is for the Ice Soul Suppressing Soul Elixir, right? Not bad, for someone of his tender age to be able to respond this quickly is quite remarkable.

Now, it’s time to see what his success rate in Alchemy will be!

Yan Cangtian also nodded his head in satisfaction, secretly delighted: Good kid, immediately recognizing the main ingredient for refining the Ice Soul Suppressing Soul Elixir. Let’s see those old folks have their eyes pop out!

Neither Hong Haotian nor Yan Cangtian had noticed that the materials selected by Ling Feng differed slightly from those used in the ordinary refinement of the Ice Soul Suppressing Soul Elixir.

After all, refining such an elixir typically requires over sixty materials, most of which completely overlap with those needed for the Ice Soul Suppressing Soul Golden Elixir, so it was understandable that they didn’t notice the subtle difference.

After arranging all the materials on a table beside him, Ling Feng took a deep breath. The technique required to refine the Ice Soul Suppressing Soul Golden Elixir posed some difficulty for him.

Since it was a Seventh-Rank ancient elixir, it was, after all, Ling Feng’s first attempt at refining it.

Gathering his concentration, Ling Feng began processing the materials one by one: removing roots, plucking petals and leaves, and with a delicate technique, eliminating any parts of Demon organs that could affect the potency of the medicine.

Once all the materials were prepared, Ling Feng finally turned his gaze toward the Six-legged Taotie Tripod.

By his own estimate, with his current True Qi Cultivation, he could probably only activate the Six Yang True Fire Array once, so he needed to be successful on the first try, or he would have to rest for a while before he could continue to activate this Array.

However, Ling Feng’s goal was, naturally, to succeed in one go!

His expression sobering, Ling Feng’s demeanor grew serious as he slowly began to stir the Earth Fire True Qi, infusing it into the Six Yang True Fire Array. The next moment, the Array activated, and from its center a flickering flame burst forth, the heat of which was several times stronger than ordinary charcoal fire or the True Qi Fire controlled by common Alchemists.

"What a formidable Six Yang True Fire Array!" praised Ling Feng silently to himself. This Six Yang True Fire might not be as offensive as his own Earth Core Fire, but for Alchemy, its effects were several times better.

It truly was worthy of the setup used by the President of the Alchemy Master Guild for Alchemy!

The Elders who were spectating were equally shocked.

"That seems to be Fire Attribute Spiritual True Qi!"

"And it’s of very high grade, Earth Core Fire!" exclaimed an old man, his hands slightly trembling, "This young man is truly a natural-born Alchemist!"

This was definitely not flattery or exaggeration. An alchemist with high-level Fire Attribute Spiritual Injection would achieve success many times greater than those ordinary Spiritual Attribute and non-Spiritual Attribute alchemists!

For instance, when both advancing to the rank of Fifth-level Alchemist, if one is an alchemist infused with top-grade Fire Attribute Spiritual True Qi, they might only need a decade or so to reach this stage, and quite effortlessly at that. However, an alchemist without the Fire Attribute Spiritual True Qi would need to dedicate twenty or even thirty years of hard study and still might not achieve that level.

Ling Feng released his Earth Fire True Qi, which was enough to make most of the alchemists present extremely envious.

"Brother Yan, you’ve really picked up a treasure!" Hong Haotian’s eyes also flashed with a hint of envy.

Although he also possessed Fire Attribute Spiritual Essence Qi (PS: After reaching the Origin Transformation Realm, True Qi transforms into Primordial Qi), it was only the Triple Yang True Fire, far from compared with Ling Feng’s Earth Core Fire!

Yan Cangtian curled his lip and said with an annoyingly smug smile, "It’s just so-so."

"Hehe..." Hong Haotian cracked a smile, though inwardly cursing, "This old geezer, acting coy after getting a bargain! If I could have taken on such a disciple, I would have gone mad with joy by now!"

Taking a deep breath, Hong Haotian’s gaze continued to follow Ling Feng, curious to see what other shocks this young man could deliver.

Before the Six-legged Taotie Tripod, Ling Feng familiarized himself with the activation of the Six Yang True Fire Formation. After gaining fluent control, he started to slowly manipulate the Array, increasing the temperature of the Six-legged Taotie Tripod, preheating the Pill Furnace.

Once the Six-legged Taotie Tripod had reached the appropriate temperature, Ling Feng, without a word, directly poured a box of Blue Ice into the Pill Furnace.

The temperature of the Blue Ice was extremely low, especially after turning into liquid. A stream of cold air rushed forth, instantly frosting Ling Feng’s eyebrows with a thin layer of rime.

Where heat and cold intersected, the heat transferred by the Six Yang True Fire Formation mingled with the Extreme Cold Power of the Blue Ice. A mist arose, emitting a "sizzling" noise.

The Pill Furnace, which had already begun to redden, cooled down rapidly. Ling Feng increased the output of his True Qi, causing the Six Yang True Fire Formation to suddenly erupt, its temperature soaring as it fiercely collided with the coldness of the Blue Ice.

"Ssssss!"

A dense fog-like vapor rose up, and the Blue Ice seemed to be vaporizing completely!

"What on earth is this kid doing?"

Immediately, a veteran alchemist shouted out, "With all the Blue Ice vaporized, how could any medicinal efficacy remain? The Ice Soul Suppressing Soul Elixir is already a failed refinement!"

"Alas, he still lacks some experience. When smelting materials of extreme cold, one should use milder materials to neutralize it first so that the medicinal power can be integrated into the Elixir and not affect the Solidifying Pill. With such a method, how could he possibly refine an Elixir!"

"This kid is completely wasting those precious materials. President, perhaps we should stop this kid from continuing alchemy!"

Elder Hua’s brow was furrowed deeply as he spoke with disdain, "Those are all high-level materials. If this kid just refines them to waste, the loss would be substantial!"

Hong Haotian also couldn’t understand. An alchemist with even a bit of experience wouldn’t make such a basic mistake. Moreover, judging by the young man’s performance just now, he shouldn’t be unaware of this either.

Could it be that this was some special alchemical method?

After pondering for a moment, Hong Haotian turned his head to gauge Yan Cangtian’s expression, noticing that even Yan Cangtian looked genuinely surprised, as if he too had no idea why Ling Feng was doing this.

Yet, his eyes clearly conveyed full trust in Ling Feng, without any doubt that he would fail in his alchemy.

Taking a deep breath, Hong Haotian ultimately decided to speak out, "Let him continue refining!"
