Chapter 431

You little brat, you don't know how sad it is for us bodiless souls. In battle we dare not use our power recklessly, for fear of falling into a slumber; aside from being struck and injuring the soul, touching anything else feels nothing. Each day we can only hide inside that lightless storage ring.

Seeing Lin Feng's expression, the Heavenly Fire Venerable immediately began to complain bitterly.

It's clear he's had enough of this life as a soul.

All right, all right, I got it. I'll quickly improve my alchemy and help you revive as soon as possible, okay?

Seeing him start to chant, Lin Feng immediately interrupted.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yixian, who had somehow approached, merely smiled and watched the scene without interjecting.

After they finished talking, Xiao Yixian lightly wiped her storage ring and took out several jade bottles from within.

During your seclusion, I and Yao Lao gathered several Soul Hall protectors—two Heaven-Level Protectors and three Earth-Level Protectors. Of course, Yao Lao and I each ran a considerable circuit without alerting the Soul Hall.

Saying that, Xiao Yixian handed over the several jade bottles wrapped in strange fire to Lin Feng.

Hearing that, Lin Feng's eyes lit up and he laughed, 'Great! With these souls I can refine that Flaming Wing Sky Swift into a Heavenly Demon Puppet.'

At the same time, he reached out and took those jade bottles from her.

Hey hey, Lin Feng kid, you should still hurry up and improve your alchemy, striving to early refine the Living Bone Blood Fusion Pill. After I revive, I'll capture those two Dou Zong who ambushed us earlier and bring them to the bed. bring them before you—for you to use in making puppets.

Seeing his intention to refine a Heavenly Demon Puppet, the Heavenly Fire Venerable hastily jumped out and shouted urgently.

Um, fine, I'll first improve my alchemy.

Seeing his excited appearance, Lin Feng rolled his eyes and replied irritably.

Afterward, inside the storage ring, he began searching for a suitable practice recipe.

Got it, the Heart-Congealing Pill—it's you.

Not long after, Lin Feng took out a grayish-white scroll from his storage ring.

What is recorded inside is a recipe for a medicine called the Heart-Congealing Pill.

After taking this pill, one can condense a false heart at the heart's location.

If, in battle, one is accidentally struck in the heart,

then this false heart can block that fatal blow for the person who took it.

Even if the enemy's strength is overwhelming and they smash the true heart inside to pieces,

the false heart will immediately take over the true heart's function, sustaining the person's vitality and preventing immediate death.

Moreover, this substitution is very covert, and the false heart's operation produces hardly any movement or sound.

If the enemy does not scrutinize carefully, they may not even notice it.

Of course, if one encounters the likes of the Yin Granny and the Toad Old Man—one with a shattered head, the other with internal organs burned by strange fire, plus combat techniques piercing the body—

a Seventh Grade Peak-level Heart-Congealing Pill would naturally be of no help in such a case.

Lin Feng slowly unfurled the scroll, and immediately his soul power seeped directly into it.

Then, torrents of vast information flooded rapidly into his mind.

Scanning the information in his mind, that recipe—far more complex than a Seventh Grade High-level medicinal pill—made Lin Feng's brows slightly furrow.

Even though this relatively easier-to-refine Seventh Grade Peak-level medicinal pill, its complexity actually exceeded his expectations.

'Huuu~'

Lin Feng let out a light sigh, then immediately began searching inside his storage ring for the medicinal herbs needed to refine this pill.

Relying on the previously obtained vast quantity of supplies, he quickly found five or six portions of materials.

Next, he took out the Myriad Beast Cauldron and began refining.

'Boom!'

Several days later, after Lin Feng had finished preparing the medicinal ingredients, when the mixture was halfway fused, that mass of extremely concentrated liquid suddenly exploded.

The tremendous force caused the heavy Myriad Beast Cauldron to shudder violently, launching it several meters into the air.

Then it came crashing heavily onto the sandy ground.

Several of the cauldron's legs sank into the sand.

Inside the cauldron, those dozens of extremely precious medicinal ingredients,

were at this moment reduced by the blast to only a little black dust.

'Phew, fortunately this Myriad Beast Cauldron is a treasure cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking. If it were an ordinary seven‑opening medicinal cauldron, who knows if it could have withstood that blow just now.'

Gazing at the reddish cauldron before him, now somewhat tilted from sinking into the sand, Lin Feng felt relieved.

Although exploding the cauldron might not necessarily injure him, he would certainly be quite embarrassed.

After setting the cauldron upright, Lin Feng again took out a batch of materials from his storage ring and continued refining.

'Boom‑rumble!'

About half a month later, above the sandy expanse where Lin Feng was, dark clouds suddenly gathered and silver light flashed.

The weather, originally blazing with the sun overhead, suddenly turned as dark as midnight.

Seeing this, Lin Feng's originally weary expression finally showed a hint of joy.

After toiling for over ten days and wasting several portions of medicinal ingredients,

today we can finally count it as having results.

Next, he flicked his finger against the storage ring.

As a faint light flashed,

a silver‑colored figure appeared beside him.

Gazing at this Earth Demon Puppet refined from the body of the Earth Devil Old Ghost,

Lin Feng's eyes were filled with anticipation.

He was also very curious about this Seventh Grade Peak‑level Pill‑Thunder.

just how far this star Dou Zong‑level Earth Demon Puppet could be elevated.

And just then, the thunderous power gathering in the sky had already reached its peak.

"Boom!"

Accompanying the dark clouds above the horizon, a tremendous rumbling sound came from within.

A bolt of silver lightning, thicker than a person's waist, suddenly plummeted from the horizon.

It rushed straight toward the heavy medicinal cauldron before Lin Feng.

"Earth Demon, your chance to upgrade has come—hurry up and go block it!"

Seeing this situation, he hastily gave the order.

"Whoosh~"

Upon hearing the previous command, the Earth Demon Puppet immediately shot forward without the slightest hesitation.

It violently collided with the silver lightning swiftly descending from above.

"Bang!"

After a tremendous explosion like a muffled thunder, the Earth Demon Puppet smashed the thick silver lightning to pieces.

And the Earth Demon Puppet's body was likewise slammed straight from a height of a hundred meters onto the sandy ground.

As for that lightning, even after being shattered, it had no intention of letting the Earth Demon Puppet off.

Only to see it transform into countless tiny silver snakes, incessantly corroding its interior across the Earth Demon Puppet's silver metallic exterior!

However, these tiny silver snakes' attacks not only failed to damage the Earth Demon.

Instead, under the tempering of the thunderous power, its silver surface became even purer.

Moreover, the aura emanating from within its body also became even more overbearing!
