Chapter 206: Nine-Aperture Star Furnace

"He fell short of success and was slain by me, but I did not manage to save the people of the Han Family. When I arrived here, the vast majority of the Han Family members were already dead. Now, the only person from the Han Family still alive is likely Han Yu."

Lin Feng's words made Lei Dong's heart tremble.

The people of the Hidden Demon Sect were cruel and ruthless to such an extent; it was simply hair-raising!

Lin Feng took a step forward, arrived before an iron ring, and bent down to pick it up.

This iron ring was the Lianxi Ring; it must have been lent to Han Jian by Demon Shadow. Now that both Han Jian and Demon Shadow were dead, the Lianxi Ring naturally became an ownerless object.

Although the Lianxi Ring was useless to Lin Feng, who would complain about having too many Dharma Treasures?

Besides, even if Lin Feng couldn't use it himself, he could give it to someone else.

After Lin Feng put the Lianxi Ring into his Storage Ring, he turned his head to look at Han Yu, Zhao Zhangqing, Wu Cheng, Jiang Feng, and the others.

He saw that the unconscious Luo Xiuxiu was currently in Zhao Zhangqing's arms, her face pale and her appearance haggard.

"The sixteen missing women have all been found now; go and save them," Lin Feng said to Lei Dong.

Lei Dong nodded immediately to accept the order and went to save the people.

Lin Feng then strode over to Han Yu and the others.

Zhao Zhangqing's expression changed slightly, while Wu Cheng and Jiang Feng took a step forward to shield Han Yu.

"Stop!"

"Things have reached this point, are you still unwilling to let our Master go?"

Wu Cheng and Jiang Feng scolded him with fierce words but weak hearts, flames seemingly burning fiercely in their eyes.

"Whether I let Han Yu go depends entirely on her. The Han Family is gone, and Han Jian is dead. If she doesn't provoke me in the future, I can refrain from taking action against her. But if she still can't let it go and continues to set herself against me, then don't blame me for being impolite!" Lin Feng said coldly.

Han Yu stood up from the ground and walked step by step to Lin Feng.

At this moment, Han Yu was extremely weak; her face was pale, the True Qi in her body was circulating poorly, and she could not exert much of her Martial Dao strength at all.

However, stubborn by nature, even in this situation, she was unwilling to concede to Lin Feng.

But now that the Han Family was gone and the vast family business was almost destroyed in one fell swoop, Han Yu no longer had the spirit to continue competing with Lin Feng.

"Rest assured, I will not be your enemy again. After all, you could be considered to have saved my life just now; if you hadn't killed Demon Shadow, I would likely be dead already," Han Yu said slowly.

"I didn't kill Demon Shadow to save you," Lin Feng said.

"I know, but regardless of your reason for killing Demon Shadow, the fact that you saved my life is indisputable," Han Yu said.

After sizing Han Yu up for a moment, Lin Feng said, "It seems you still have a conscience, unlike your brother who was completely devoid of humanity."

Leaving these words behind, Lin Feng turned and walked away.

The sixteen missing women had all been found, and the kidnapping case was completely solved.

The mastermind, Demon Shadow, had already died at Lin Feng's hands; since that was the case, Lin Feng did not linger here any longer.

He immediately boarded Lei Dong's official car and returned to the Dragon Soul Branch with Lei Dong.

In the spacious and bright office, Lei Dong respectfully invited Lin Feng to sit down and then left for a moment.

When he returned to the office, he placed an exquisite, small alchemy furnace in front of Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin, look, this is an alchemy furnace I collected years ago, and it is a Dharma Treasure!"

"However, I don't know how to refine medicine or pills, so this furnace has never been put to use in my hands. Today, I will give it to you, and I hope you will be satisfied."

After Lei Dong finished speaking, he looked at Lin Feng with a smile, his expression showing a hint of anticipation.

Lin Feng picked up the alchemy furnace and examined it carefully.

He saw that the furnace was nearly spherical, bright silver all over, and had very complex patterns on its surface.

Moreover, the interior of the furnace had nine chambers, interconnected like a complex maze.

Most importantly, this furnace was indeed a Dharma Treasure; Lin Feng only had to touch it lightly to feel the faint Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth circulating and fluctuating within the furnace.

"What is the name of this alchemy furnace?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Lei Dong hurriedly said, "It has no name; I never gave it one."

"Good, then I shall name it now. It is silver-white and brilliant like the stars, and it has nine apertures inside; in that case, let's call it the Nine-Aperture Star Furnace!"

As soon as Lin Feng said this, Lei Dong's eyes lit up, and he praised it repeatedly.

"A good name, truly a good name."

"What is good about it?" Lin Feng asked.

Lei Dong looked embarrassed for a moment, thought for a while, and then said, "Mr. Lin's naming captures the characteristics; it is simple yet grand..."

"Alright, alright, stop flattering me."

Lin Feng gave Lei Dong an annoyed look, then put away the alchemy furnace and said, "I am very satisfied with this furnace; it will be of great use to me."

"I'm glad you're satisfied, Mr. Lin." Lei Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Lin Feng added, "Don't think that just because the missing persons case is solved and the mastermind is dealt with, you can sit back and relax. Before Demon Shadow died, he revealed some intelligence. According to him, he was not the only person from the Hidden Demon Sect who infiltrated Jinling; there is another Protector with the codename Demon Tiger."

"Demon Shadow's mission was to stir up trouble in Jinling, turn Jinling upside down, and disrupt the order here, while Demon Tiger has a different mission, though Demon Shadow did not know what Demon Tiger's mission actually was."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Lei Dong's expression changed drastically.

"Where is that Demon Tiger now?" Lei Dong asked.

"If I knew, do you think I would still be sitting here chatting with you?" Lin Feng said.

Lei Dong gritted his teeth and said, "The Hidden Demon Sect is truly hateful; they are just like rats and cockroaches in a sewer. Can't they just behave themselves! Making trouble all day long—what good does it do them!"

"Complaining won't solve the problem," Lin Feng said.

Lei Dong took a deep breath, finally suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured, I will not be negligent. In the coming period, I will send people to conduct a massive search within Jinling, striving to catch Demon Tiger as soon as possible, or at the very least, find his traces," Lei Dong said firmly.

"Good, I hope you won't let me down."

After saying this, Lin Feng stood up and left.

When he came out of the Dragon Soul Branch, it was almost dawn.

But Lin Feng was in no rush to return.

He casually found a small eatery to finish his breakfast, then began wandering through the various large pharmacies in Jinling.

By the time it was nearly noon, Lin Feng had bought the medicinal herbs he wanted.

With the pill furnace in hand, how could he not hurry to buy some herbs to test it out and make some medicinal pills?

Lin Feng was already a bit impatient now, wanting to return immediately to test the wonders of the Nine-Aperture Star Furnace.

Yet he did not expect that at this moment, a figure would walk toward him.

It was none other than Li Rong, the proprietress of that small eatery.

In Li Rong's hands, she was carrying two plastic bags filled with meat, eggs, milk, fruits, and vegetables.

"Mr. Lin, what a coincidence, to actually run into you here!"

Seeing Lin Feng, Li Rong was extremely happy and hurried over with a light trot.
