Chapter 111: Lin Yan

"Eh, Battle Spirit peak."

Lin Feng directed his gaze toward a stall not far ahead, discovering that the originally crowded crowd there seemed to have been separated.

Some students passing by were also like rabbits, quickly darting past.

Behind the stall, a man dressed in light gray clothing sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, paying no attention to the people coming and going around him.

This appearance didn't look at all like someone here to sell things.

"This guy, could he be that Lin Yan?"

Thinking to himself, Lin Feng immediately walked up to the gray-clothed man's stall...

Arriving at the stone platform, his gaze slowly swept over the items before him.

The fourth-rank magic cores placed on the platform, while not bad in others' eyes, Lin Feng, however, found them somewhat unappealing.

It seemed that upon hearing Lin Feng's approach, the gray-clothed man also slowly opened his eyes, gazing at him with a pair of eyes filled with red light.

"Your Fire Poison is quite severe."

Seeing the other's pair of violent eyes, Lin Feng chuckled softly.

"What's it to you? If you're not buying, get lost."

The gray-clothed man, his eyes tinged with red, gave him a cold glance and spoke angrily.

Lin Feng didn't mind his tone, after all, anyone corroded by this Fire Poison becomes extremely irritable.

Simply put, it's just that the mind will have some issues; he wasn't going to argue with someone who had mental problems.

He extended a finger, and with a faint sound, a crimson battle qi true fire appeared on it, then he softly said: "I can treat your Fire Poison, but I need five hundred fire energy."

"Condensing true fire, a four-star alchemist!"

The gray-clothed man raised his head, his voice somewhat surprised as he spoke.

After dispersing the flames, Lin Feng then said: "So, how about it, want to make this deal with me?"

"I went to find Han Xian; he's also a four-star alchemist, but he couldn't do it either. How do I know you can resolve my Fire Poison?"

He glanced up and down at this young man in green clothing whom he had never seen before, then slowly said.

Five hundred fire energy was a huge sum for him, naturally impossible to easily give to others.

"I can first refine some pills for you, you then pay me two hundred fire energy, try them for a few days; if effective, pay the remaining fire energy. Moreover, this should prove my ability, right?"

Lin Feng, while speaking, casually took out the purple fire crystal card that Zi Yan had given him.

"Purple fire crystal card!"

Seeing the highest-level fire energy card, the gray-clothed man's face instantly turned surprised, then he nodded and said: "Alright, I agree; as long as you completely eliminate the Fire Poison in my body, I'm willing to pay this five hundred fire energy. But if I find you're deceiving me, you won't get the fire energy, and you'll probably suffer a beating."

"No problem, let's go to the nearby forest; I'll refine some pills for you."

Lin Feng paid no heed to the previous words; after speaking, he turned and sprinted toward a forest.

Seeing this, the gray-clothed man swept all the items on the stone platform into his space ring like trash, then hurriedly followed Lin Feng.

"How long has the Fire Poison accumulated in your body?"

In a quiet forest, Lin Feng asked the gray-clothed man before him.

"About a year or so..."

Bringing this up, the gray-clothed man's face looked somewhat unpleasant.

However, thinking that the person opposite was a detoxifying alchemist, he had no choice but to swallow his irritation and reply: "During that time I urgently needed to increase my strength, so I stayed in seclusion in the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, and each seclusion lasted one or two months. The Fire Poison kept accumulating like this; later, when I discovered it, it had become tightly entwined with my battle qi, indistinguishable."

"By the way, I'm Lin Yan; just call me by name."

"Fine, I'm Lin Feng; wait a moment."

Nodding, Lin Feng directly gave his real name, then began searching in his space ring.

As for exposure, that's not very likely.

After all, there are many people with the same name in the world; basically no one would associate this "inner court student" with the local emperor of Heijiaoyu.

Finally, he found a volume named Ice Spirit Pill, a second-rank pill, seemingly contributed by the five-star alchemist from Heijiaoyu whom he and Zi Yan had killed together.

He took out the medicine cauldron and immediately used battle qi to ignite an ordinary battle qi flame.

Then he took out medicinal herbs and tossed them in haphazardly...

Since he was already a five-star alchemist, refining such low-grade pills, he would throw in several portions of medicinal herbs at once for simultaneous refinement.

In less than two hours, he had refined a full bottle's worth, which he tossed to Lin Yan, saying at the same time: "This is Ice Spirit Pill; it can temporarily suppress the Fire Poison in your body, preventing it from eroding your sanity. Remember, take one each day; there are fifteen here, enough for half a month."

Lin Yan quickly scooped up the jade bottle and, with some doubt, poured out a single granule from it.

The snow-white, round pill emitted a faint chill; seeing this, a flicker of joy crossed Lin Yan's face as he promptly shoved it into his mouth.

As the Ice Spirit Pill entered his body, the gradually dissolving cool sensation caused the red light in Lin Yan's eyes to fade slightly.

The slight easing of the Fire Poison made Lin Yan naturally feel it most clearly; at that moment, his gaze toward Lin Feng also gained a hint of conviction.

Lin Feng, however, had no time to attend to those; after a moment's thought, he ignited the fire again.

Subsequently, he took out more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs from his space ring and threw them into the cauldron.

Finally, he also took out a third-rank ice-attribute magic core emitting a faint chill and threw it in to be roasted...

Amid the roaring flames, a snowy-white liquid like ice hovered above the fire.

As it churned, wisps of cold air rose and intertwined with the flames, forming tangible white mist that rose from the cauldron.

Since this medicinal liquid was something he came up with on the spot, it was roughly a third-rank, beginner-level concoction.

Moreover, because it was an external medicine, there was no need to consider many safety issues, making its refinement relatively easy.

After the flames smoked it for a few more minutes, Lin Feng flicked his finger, and the cauldron lid automatically fell off.

With a wave of his hand, under the pull of battle qi, the snowy-white liquid in the cauldron traced a graceful arc in midair and accurately poured into the jade bottle in his other hand.

"Here you go; the usage of this liquid is to drop one drop into a large basin filled with clear water, then sit and cultivate there for half an hour each day, until it's used up. If by then the Fire Poison still remains, I'll help you refine more."

After saying that, Lin Feng warned again: "Remember, during this period you must not go to the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower to cultivate; otherwise, your Fire Poison will flare up again, forcing you to start over, and then I'll charge extra fees."

Good.

Holding the jade bottle slightly excitedly, Lin Yan smiled at the former and said: "If you can truly expel the fire poison from my body, then I, Lin Yan, will owe you a favor."

You'd better give me the two hundred fire energy first before saying that.

Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, flung out a purple card, and said.

Good.

Lin Yan, because the Ice Spirit Pill he had just taken effect, his doubts about the former were mostly dispelled; he gladly marked the fire energy onto Lin Feng's card, then tossed the card back.

Alright, I'll go to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower to cultivate tomorrow; if there's anything later, you can have someone come find me at Cultivation Chamber No. 1.

Lin Feng looked at the number two hundred on the card, enough for him to cultivate for a few days, and test the effect of the Falling Heart Flame tempering battle qi.

Seeing that it was already late, he also didn't feel like going to the tower to cultivate, waved his hand, and then walked into the forest.

Since he had no dormitory, he could only sleep there for now.

One... One Cultivation Chamber!

Hearing this, Lin Yan's expression instantly became vivid.

He remembered, that place was the cultivation chamber of the inner courtyard's top-ranked Mighty Strength King!

I've never heard of this Lin Feng before, but judging from how smoothly he just concocted pills, he's probably quite a bit stronger than that Han Xian; could it be that he and that Mighty Strength King are from the same batch?

Watching that black silhouette gradually disappear into the forest, Lin Yan muttered softly.

The next morning, Lin Feng headed toward the north of the inner courtyard.

Since yesterday he didn't have time to carefully observe the inner courtyard's environment, along the way, whenever he saw something new, he would go over to check out the excitement.

Walking like that, stopping and going, his speed wasn't fast.

However, after walking for nearly an hour, Lin Feng noticed that the number of students around him suddenly increased.

Each of them pushed their speed to the limit, constantly flashing past from the woods on either side, stirring up gusts of wind.

Seeing this, Lin Feng also quickened his pace, sprinting toward the front of the crowd...

After a moment, he arrived above that depressed area.

Looking downward, he saw that on the previously open clearing, there was a massive crowd of students waiting there.

Hiss~

Not long after he arrived, Lin Feng felt a large group of students approaching from behind.

Soon after, the sound of breaking wind rang out not far behind him.

Several dozen figures were sprinting from afar at full speed, then landing on the edge of the basin not far from Lin Feng.

Finally, extremely overbearing, they dove straight down, charging to the front of the dark mass of people below.

These people's act of forcefully cutting in line obviously aroused public anger.

However, when everyone saw where the newcomers came from, they could only swallow their words resentfully.

Indeed, things that can enhance strength are forever the most welcome on the Dou Qi Continent.

Looking down at the thousands of students below, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a sigh.

He could also understand the anxious feelings of those students.

Calculating it, most cultivation chambers can accommodate five people cultivating.

Adding these students before him, most are on the fourth layer or above.

That is to say, theoretically, the number of cultivation chamber spots they could enter inside the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower is about ten thousand plus.

But these people before him, their number is only a few thousand.

Judging by the numbers, it seems nobody needs to fight over spots, since there are positions for everyone.

However, the acceleration effect of cultivation chambers on the same layer is not the same.

That is to say, spending the same amount of money, the effect of an advanced cultivation chamber is considerably better than that of a basic one.
