Chapter 1163

Hehe, this time I really struck it rich.

Looking at the huge amount of medicinal ingredients inside the storage ring, Lin Feng couldn't help but grin.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to search inside.

As the search continued, he discovered that the medicinal ingredients inside the storage ring were truly far beyond his expectations.

When he reached deeper into the medicinal ingredients area, he even found a considerable quantity of medicinal ingredients whose energy fluctuations were even stronger than those of the previous ones.

Seeing this, Lin Feng's mind was instantly filled with just one thought.

"These are the medicinal ingredients needed to refine a ninth-grade golden core!"

Immediately afterwards, he acted like a pervert, quickly lying on those medicinal ingredients and constantly observing them.

That expression was as if he were looking at a peerless treasure in someone's eyes.

"Great! Before I was worried about medicinal ingredients, but now, aren't they just freely usable?!"

As he spoke, the smile on Lin Feng's face became increasingly rich.

This Golden Core Alchemist's collection is simply terrifying to the extreme!

However, thinking back to how he and Yun'er had been too hasty earlier and hadn't had a chance to examine the things in that relic's inner region, he couldn't help but feel utterly heartbroken.

After all, just the storage ring on this Golden Core Alchemist's finger already held such an astonishing collection.

If he could also take the collection inside that relic, the gains would be exciting just to think about.

However, thinking about the terrifying power of that golden core pill, as well as the other ancient races eyeing it covetously, Lin Feng let out a heavy sigh.

Although his current strength is strong, if he wanted to seize that ninth-grade golden core pill without anyone knowing, it would be absolutely impossible.

Moreover, even if we ignore other people.

Just based on the power of that golden core pill, these people couldn't possibly capture it.

"Ah, better not think about those random things; let's continue exploring the contents of the storage ring."

Afterwards, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, and then his soul sense continued to explore inside the storage ring.

This time, his soul sense came to the medicinal formulas area.

Looking at the huge wooden table before him, piled high with various styles of scrolls, Lin Feng also felt tremendously shocked.

However, after quickly regaining his composure, he swiftly used his soul power to sweep over these scrolls, continuously checking their descriptions, searching for formulas that interested him.

As he continued searching, he quickly surpassed the eighth-grade formulas and arrived at the ninth-grade area.

And upon arriving at this area, Lin Feng quickly discovered that this Golden Core Alchemist's collection surpassed that of the Creation Saint by several grades.

Speaking solely of ninth-grade treasure pill formulas, there are no fewer than dozens of volumes here.

"Great! Now, with Ying'er and the others, we won't have to worry about treasure pill formulas for our future alchemy studies!"

Seeing these no‑less‑than‑thirty scrolls of Treasure Pill formulas, Lin Feng's eyes instantly lit up, his gaze burning as he stared at each scroll of varying colors and materials.

However, thinking that there were still many things left unread, he reluctantly brushed his hand over the precious scrolls, and his soul perception continued to probe forward.

Immediately afterward, he arrived at the second‑to‑last wooden table in the formula area.

Then his spiritual power swiftly rolled up a scroll and extracted it.

"Whoosh~"

Accompanied by a flash of faint light, a teal‑yellow scroll appeared in Lin Feng's hand.

He then, unable to wait, grasped the two ends of the scroll with both hands and spread it open.

"Spirit‑Awakening Jade‑Clear Pill, classified as a Ninth‑rank Mystic Pill, possesses the wondrous effects of cleansing the flesh, expanding meridian vortices, enhancing sentient insight, and improving cultivation aptitude. Even a person of mediocre talent will, after taking this pill, gain the potential to become a Dou Saint!"

"Ninth‑rank Mystic Pill formula."

Seeing the description on the scroll in his hand, Lin Feng's expression instantly became stunned.

Although he had long anticipated that the Golden Core master's absorption ring would contain a Ninth‑rank Mystic Pill formula.

But now, seeing it with his own eyes, his face could not help but be filled with shock.

After all, the difference between a Ninth‑rank Mystic Pill and a Ninth‑rank Treasure Pill is only a single character.

Yet the gap between them is as vast as heaven and earth.

Formulas of Ninth‑rank Treasure Pills may still be possessed in one or two scrolls by some top‑tier Eighth‑rank alchemists.

But for Ninth‑rank Mystic Pill formulas, even in the foremost alchemist sanctum of the outer world, within the Pill Tower, there are at most one or two such scrolls.

More of them can only be produced by those ancient factions.

Those ancient factions, though not primarily alchemical, have existed long enough and, relying on bloodline power, continuously produce strong clan members.

Over time, they have amassed a considerable collection of Mystic Pill formulas.

"Huh, I never expected the Mystic Pill formula I once thought unattainable to be so easy to obtain today."

After a long daze, Lin Feng immediately let out a heavy sigh and grinned, saying.

"Formulas of this caliber aren't something you can just buy whenever you want."

"Even if you go to the Pill Tower or other factions to trade for it, they are very unlikely to agree."

"After all, Ninth‑rank Mystic Pill formulas are exceedingly rare on the Dou Qi Continent today; they are encountered, not sought, so how could anyone easily trade them to you?"

"Unless you have a special relationship with that faction, or offer terms that others cannot refuse."

"Otherwise, don't even think about getting a Ninth‑rank Mystic Pill formula!"

"Hehe, good stuff. When my strength improves, I'll definitely make one for those three little brats to eat."

Thinking of his two children and the little fellow Xiao Cai, Lin Feng chuckled and stored it into his absorption ring.

Immediately afterward, his soul perception continued to rummage over that wooden table.

During this search, he again found a full nine scrolls of Ninth‑rank Mystic Pill formulas.

Including the previous one, he had obtained a total of ten Ninth‑rank Mystic Pill formulas in his absorption ring!

With such a quantity of Mystic Pill formulas, even the Pill Tower would likely be unable to produce them.

Now I have obtained so many prescriptions and medicinal materials; it seems that after the journey to the Northwest Continent ends, I should also try to refine ninth-grade pills.

Thinking that he now had ample supplies and no longer lacked medicinal ingredients, Lin Feng felt a surge of eagerness to start refining pills.

However, thinking that he still had many things to do, he had to suppress this idea in his heart and then continued to rummage through his storage ring.

He came to the next wooden table, where the number of scrolls had decreased, now only half of what was before.

And Lin Feng, looking at the five scrolls on this wooden table, already had a vague guess as to what they were.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but swallow, then reached out and casually took one of the scrolls.

After a faint glow, Lin Feng's palm now held an off-white ancient scroll.

Its scroll rollers were made of a material similar to ivory, and the color closely matched that of the scroll.

Upon close inspection, one could see that on the two scroll rollers were carved a person sitting cross-legged and a giant that almost filled the height of the rollers.

Seeing this strange pattern, Lin Feng immediately took a deep breath, then tremblingly unfolded it with both hands.

"Nine Palaces Founding Emperor Pill; this pill, among ninth-grade golden cores, can also be considered top-tier."

"The effect of this pill is that, when a Dou Saint peak cultivator attempts to break through to Dou Emperor, it can help them rapidly condense an imperial body, increasing the chance of success. Furthermore, the pill's medicinal power can also protect the various weak points within the breaker's body, stabilizing their Dou Qi."

"Even if the breakthrough fails, under the protection of this pill, one will not suffer severe damage from rampant Dou Qi, nor experience a drastic drop in strength that would leave them vulnerable to a sneak attack by enemies!"

After Lin Feng finished reading the scroll's introduction to this pill, he instantly became dazed.

At the same time, under this tremendous surprise, his whole body involuntarily began to tremble.

Although he had long anticipated the grade of this prescription, the pill's effects are simply too heaven-defying!

"The master condenses an imperial body, increasing the odds of breaking through to Dou Emperor; such a prescription, even in ancient times, would surely be something many ninth-grade Golden Core masters could not resist seizing. Moreover, if any Golden Core master possessed this prescription, they would soon have numerous peak Dou Saint and half-emperor experts coming to curry favor, humbly begging this alchemist to help them refine a so-called Nine Palaces Founding Emperor Pill."

Having said that, Lin Feng's throat twitched a few times, his voice full of shock as he said: "If the Soul Heaven Emperor were to learn of this prescription, he would surely go mad and stop at nothing to seize it. Even if there is currently no one on the Dou Qi Continent who is that Golden Core alchemist, the Soul Heaven Emperor would surely spare no expense to gather resources for the Soul Void Child, or other powerful alchemy masters."

"At the same time, he would expend all the strength of the Soul Clan to seek the medicinal ingredients for this pill, then directly pile up the ingredients, no matter what, trying to forge a pill of this kind."

As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng couldn't help but shift his gaze to the scroll in his hand.

To be honest, he also very much wanted to, just as described, expend all resources except his primal imperial qi to refine a Nine Palaces Founding Emperor Pill.

Moreover, the name and effect of this pill also confirm that saying: on the Dou Qi Continent, anything bearing the character 'Emperor' is never simple!

Just the effect of this pill alone would be enough to drive the entire Dou Qi Continent mad, even though currently no one can refine a pill of this grade.

"I must keep this thing safe; I absolutely cannot let others know, for with my current strength I could not guard it."

Thinking of the preciousness of this prescription, Lin Feng had no hesitation; he quickly rolled it up and swiftly stored it in his storage ring, fearing discovery.
