Chapter 580

And as the copper sphere melted, the green on it gradually faded.

At the same time, countless tiny pale‑yellow dust particles silently fell from the melted copper rust and then floated within the flames.

Those dust particles rhythmically flickered with a faint light, like sprites, giving an intensely rich sense of spirituality.

As the pale‑yellow dust gradually fell away, about two minutes later the copper sphere vanished in an instant.

When the copper sphere disappeared, the five pale‑yellow dust particles appeared unshielded in Lin Feng's sight, shimmering with a spirit‑filled luster.

"Hehe, the gestating spirit dust is in hand."

Looking at the five pale‑yellow dust particles, Lin Feng smiled with delight.

Even in ancient times, this thing had a great reputation and was highly sought after.

Now that the refining method is lost, its value is even more frightening.

When refining an Eighth Grade Pill, if it is incorporated, it can boost the spiritual energy within the pill.

After successful refinement, its quality is also purer than other Eighth Grade Pills.

And if it is merged into the soul, it can nurture the soul, gradually strengthening the spiritual energy inside the soul.

However, after a moment of distraction, Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed.

Immediately, his gaze swiftly shifted to the blanket, and he abruptly pressed down on the protruding lump on it.

"Huh~"

After about a few minutes, a face that could be called perfect suddenly emerged from the blanket.

The slender jade‑like neck twitched a dozen times, then exhaled a great sigh.

Her gaze at that moment also turned toward the five pale‑yellow dust particles.

"Husband, what is that?"

Xin Lan, who was handling matters for Lin Feng, leaned in his arms, gazed at the gestating spirit dust and asked.

Because she had, with the aid of Bodhi Transformation Saliva, successfully broken through to the Dou Emperor realm.

Therefore, even after staying in the blanket for a while, it did not affect her breathing rhythm at all.

Hearing this, Lin Feng placed his hand on Xin Lan's slender thigh and explained the function of the gestating spirit dust to her.

As she gradually understood this thing, Xin Lan's beautiful eyes looking at the gestating spirit dust also began to shine brighter.

"You truly are formidable, husband; you managed to exchange just one Seventh Grade Intermediate Formula for this treasure. If that old man found out, he'd probably be so angry he'd vomit blood on the spot."

"Haha, perhaps they're magnanimous enough to accept loss after a gamble."

Lin Feng let out a light laugh, then pinched her pretty face.

Afterward, he waved his palm, gathering all the gestating spirit dust together.

He then took out a jade bottle, put them all inside, and stored them within the Naji.

Now Xin Lan has cultivated the Soul‑Refining technique, so the gestating spirit dust no longer helps her much.

Therefore, he plans to keep it for future pill refinement.

After doing this, he pressed Xin Lan down again and continued to bustle about.

The next morning, Lin Feng, under Ye Zhong's guidance, went to the Dan Tower headquarters.

In the central area of the Dan Realm, a Black Tower nearly a hundred zhang tall rose there, like a small mountain, giving a sense of towering grandeur.

The tower's tip pierced the clouds; from a glance, the top was almost invisible.

Amid swirling clouds and mist, it appeared extraordinarily mysterious.

Although Lin Feng had been here before when assessing the Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemist medal, seeing it again still left him somewhat stunned.

"Lin Feng, the assessment site is above; follow me."

Entering the massive Dan Tower, Ye Zhong immediately said to Lin Feng behind him.

"Alright."

Lin Feng nodded, then followed Ye Zhong straight toward the Black Tower's upper levels.

A moment later, the two stopped outside a very spacious great hall.

"This is the assessment location; I cannot enter either, so from here on it's up to you."

Arriving at the main gate, Ye Zhong immediately said to Lin Feng beside him.

Hearing this, Lin Feng lightly nodded and directly pushed open the hall doors.

"Boom—"

As the doors opened, Lin Feng immediately stepped inside.

Inside the great hall, which was quite spacious, he scanned the surroundings.

At the front of the hall stood five tall black stone pedestals.

And now each pedestal already bore figures dressed in various garments seated upon them.

"Junior Lin Feng, I have met all senior elders."

Reaching the hall's center, Lin Feng immediately bowed to the line of figures ahead.

"So you are Lin Feng? Your talent truly is impressive."

At this moment, a white‑robed elder seated in the middle glanced casually at him, his hoary voice echoing softly throughout the great hall.

Lin Feng also turned his head at the sound, only to find that the white‑robed elder emitted not a single trace of aura.

He was, in every way, just an ordinary old man.

But when Lin Feng used his soul scan, he discovered that the area before him was completely empty.

The white‑robed elder seemed as if he did not exist.

However, at that moment, the white‑robed elder's calm voice rang again in the hall: "Before we begin, let's introduce ourselves. I am Xuan Kongzi, and beside me are the other two Dan Tower leaders, Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi."

"They are the three heads of the Dan Tower, then?"

Lin Feng silently thought to himself, then immediately looked toward Xuan Kongzi's side and quickly clasped his fists.

The former finished speaking; beside him, the stern-looking Tian Leizi immediately twitched his lips: "Lin Feng, right? Before entering the Xiao Pill Tower, let me first make it clear to you: the rules there are far stricter than those outside. After entering, you must not disclose the Xiao Pill Tower's internal details to outsiders, and thereafter you must not betray the Pill Tower; otherwise, no matter how far you flee to the ends of the earth, we will hunt you down to the bitter end, and we also guarantee that the Ye family you bring in will likewise be implicated."

Lin Feng chuckled lightly, then replied calmly.
