Chapter 461: Chapter 461: The Empire’s First Poison Master! (4 more)

After leaving the Lin Residence, Ling Feng went straight to the Alchemy Master Guild.

The guards at the gate were naturally extremely respectful to the newly promoted Chief Honored Elder. Seeing that it was Ling Feng arriving, they hurriedly brought him to President Hong Haotian’s Alchemy Room, where Hong Haotian and Yan Cangtian, along with a few others, had already been waiting for a long time.

At this time, in the Alchemy Room, aside from Hong Haotian and Yan Cangtian, there was another middle-aged man whom Ling Feng had not seen before. He appeared to be around forty or fifty years old, with a head of energetic and forceful white hair, cut into a buzz cut, giving off a very spirited vibe.

On the left cheek of his face, there was a deep scar, extending all the way from the forehead, crossing the entire cheek.

However, this scar, far from being ugly, added a certain virility to the middle-aged man.

That Hong Haotian had specifically kept him back was enough to guess that this person’s mastery in the Alchemy Dao was absolutely at the level of a President!

"You kid, you’ve finally come!"

Yan Cangtian saw Ling Feng enter the Alchemy Room and couldn’t help but complain, "To have the three of us waiting for you for so long, in the entire Empire, that’s something only you could accomplish!"

"Uh..." Ling Feng touched his nose and flashed an apologetic smile, "Sorry, Elder Yan, I was delayed by some matters."

While speaking, Ling Feng had already walked over to the Alchemy Furnace. He paid his respects to Hong Haotian with a clasped fist salute, then turned his attention to the white-haired man and asked curiously, "May I know who this gentleman is?"

"This is Master Su Dongling, another Honorary Guild Master of our Alchemy Master Guild, besides Master Yun Danqing. Master Su usually likes to travel all over the place, searching for Spiritual Medicines, so he rarely stays in the Imperial City. He returned just in time to hear about your pill concoction of the Demon Transformation Elixir, so he came to witness it."

"Master Su Dongling?" Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched, and he immediately realized that this Su Dongling must be Su Qingxuan’s father.

Just a few days ago, Su Qingxuan said her father would be back soon, and Ling Feng never expected to meet Master Su so quickly.

Ling Feng smiled faintly and promptly paid respects to Su Dongling with a clasped fist, smiling slightly, "Junior Ling Feng, I am honored to meet Master Su."

Master Su Dongling gave a slight nod and said indifferently, "Truly, as one generation fades, a new generation rises. Unexpectedly, despite your youth, you possess the mastery of a Sixth level Advanced Alchemist. This time, it’s my fortune to witness you refine the legendary Demon Transformation Elixir."

"Master Su flatters me."

"Alright, alright, let’s stop with the compliments already." Yan Cangtian stretched lazily and said seriously, "Old Su, we didn’t ask you to come all this way just to watch from the sidelines. As the Imperial City’s First Poison Master, your Fire Control Skill is unmatched. Given Ling Feng’s slightly lower cultivation, it would be more reliable for you to handle the fire control."

"Ah, you sly old kid, I knew calling me over wouldn’t be good news!" Despite complaining, Su Dongling’s relationship with Yan Cangtian was obviously quite good, and he nodded in agreement.

After all, aside from the legendary alchemist who initially developed the Demon Transformation Elixir, there has not been a second successful case in hundreds of years.

With only one Demon Mirage Crystal Core in existence for a thousand years, it must be successful on the first attempt!

Now that they had the top Alchemy Furnace and the top Array, by inviting the top alchemists to pool their strategies and efforts, the chances of success would be maximized.

"As for Hong Haotian and me, we will assist by handling the materials on the side. This time, the main lead in pill concoction will still be Ling Feng here."

"Understood."

Ling Feng nodded. Now, including himself, there were four of the Empires most top-tier alchemists working together. If they couldn’t concoct the Demon Transformation Elixir with that, they might as well all go bang their heads against a wall.

However, Ling Feng was quite curious about Su Dongling’s title of "Empire’s First Poison Master."

Pill Masters and Poison Masters, strictly speaking, actually both fall under the category of Alchemists, though Poison Masters typically lean towards refining poisons, while Alchemists refine beneficial Spiritual Medicines.

Thus, Pill Masters are generally respected by the world, while Poison Masters are considered a mysterious and terrifying existence, revered by the masses.

After all, a Poison Master kills with little more than a gesture, and a top-tier Poison Master can destroy an elite troop without breaking a sweat!

Such was Su Dongling, a Poison Master who, in a battle against the Tianyang Empire, utilized his skill to destroy one of the Empire’s main forces.

Following that battle, Su Dongling rose to fame, was conferred a title by the Empire, and later joined the Alchemy Master Guild, becoming an Honorary Guild Master.

However, in a certain sense, the advancement of a Poison Master is far more difficult than that of a Pill Master.

A top-tier Poison Master is certainly a first-class Alchemist, but a top-tier Alchemist might not necessarily be capable of being a Poison Master.

"Alright, you should have thoroughly looked over the Demon Transformation Elixir Recipe by now?" Yan Cangtian asked.

"Yep," Ling Feng nodded slightly. Although he had not expected Yan Cangtian and the others to prepare all the various materials in advance, with his photographic memory, he could familiarize himself with them after just one glance.

"Take out the Demon Mirage Crystal Core. This thing is the most difficult to deal with," Yan Cangtian said loudly.

"Okay," Ling Feng quickly took out the Demon Mirage Crystal Core and handed it over to Yan Cangtian.

"It really is a Thousand-year-old Demon Mirage Crystal Core!" Yan Cangtian exclaimed, "Old Man Deng really got lucky, encountering a Thousand-year-old Demon Mirage, otherwise, finding a Thousand-year-old Demon Mirage Crystal Core would not be easy!"

"So General Deng’s Mansion actually has a Demon Mirage Crystal Core, that old fellow hid it really deep!" Hong Haotian muttered softly under his breath. In fact, the Demon Mirage Crystal Core was also one of the high-level materials he had been searching for over the years.

"This Demon Mirage Crystal Core has been separated from its host for at least fifteen years, and it has accumulated quite a bit of impurity. Purifying this Crystal Core will not be an easy task."

Su Dongling, who stood to the side, let out a faint smile, "President Hong, Elder Yan, what do you say? Which one of you wants to tackle this tough task, or shall I do you the favor?"

"No need, I’ll do it," it was Ling Feng who spoke: "Master Su, you still need to conserve your Elemental Power to control the Six Yang True Fire Formation."

"Oh?" Su Dongling’s gaze turned to Ling Feng. Seeing is believing, after all.

Though those old men in the Alchemy Master Guild had spread word of Ling Feng’s Alchemy Dao prowess as something almost divine, upon seeing Ling Feng, he still felt the youth was too young.

His precious daughter, Su Qingxuan, whom he had cultivated from a young age, was a few years older than Ling Feng and was only a Fourth-rank Alchemist.

Even if Ling Feng were exceptionally talented, after all, his age was apparent. Perhaps it was on account of Ling Feng’s youth that the group of Alchemists had exaggerated his real level of proficiency.

"Alright, young man, let me see how you refine and purify this Demon Mirage Crystal Core," Su Dongling said with a slight smile, resting his chin on his hand.

"Then I will show my humble skills," Ling Feng replied.

Ling Feng took a deep breath, pinching the Demon Mirage Crystal Core, already quietly invoking the water and fire True Qi within his body.
