Chapter 699: The Bodhi Seed Draws Everyone's Astonishment

As for Lin Feng, he simply had no idea what the three giants of the Dan Tower were thinking.

At the same time, he paid no heed to the noisy clamor from the audience stands caused by his producing the Myriad Beast Cauldron and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

After all, he no longer needed to be as cautious as before.

Nowadays, aside from the few pieces of information concerning Half Saints and even Dou Emperors, most of his methods no longer needed to be hidden.

As a Dou Zun expert, he was more than capable of dealing with the vast majority of those who harbored ill intentions toward this strange fire and the Myriad Beast Cauldron!

"Whoosh~"

As the azure flames rose within the Myriad Beast Cauldron, Lin Feng focused his full attention on the situation inside the medicine cauldron.

Within it, hundreds of medicinal herbs were being enveloped by the azure fire dragon.

The scorching high temperature continually tempered their outer shells.

Since he was refining a pill of such great difficulty for the first time, he dared not be distracted in the slightest.

Moreover, under the terrifying temperature of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, the herbs inside the medicine cauldron withered rapidly; in less than half a day, the hundreds of herbs were separately refined into pure medicinal powder and liquid.

Then, under the control of Lin Feng's soul, they lightly hovered in a corner of the medicine cauldron.

After refining the first batch of herbs, Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged as he repeatedly flipped his palm, and one after another dazzling herb streamed continuously into the medicine cauldron.

However, no matter how numerous these herbs were, they still did not cause Lin Feng the slightest sense of panic.

Furthermore, while refining the herbs, Lin Feng could clearly perceive the condition of the herbs inside the medicine cauldron.

All of this relied on his late Soul Realm soul power.

Such soul power, while barely sufficient to refine an eighth-grade eight-colored pill,

but merely refining pills was still quite easy.

Meanwhile, the herbs he refined would acquire a faint aura of spiritual energy, quietly boosting their quality considerably.

This is one of the differences between a Seventh-Tier Alchemist and an Eighth-Tier Alchemist.

The soul power of a Seventh-Tier Alchemist can certainly refine many herbs to extreme purity.

Yet compared to an Eighth-Tier Alchemist who can imbue herbs with spiritual energy, it is undoubtedly worlds apart—off by a hundred thousand miles!

"That brat must be crazy; he actually dares to dream of refining an eighth-grade eight-colored Bodhi Pill!"

Upon seeing the herbs Lin Feng was refining, Xuan Yi immediately gave him a look as if he were a madman.

Even within the Xiao Dan Tower, refining at this level is something many cannot accomplish.

And Lin Feng, having just broken through to the late Soul Realm, actually intends to refine a pill that requires the Great Perfection of the Soul Realm to concoct.

"No wonder that brat produced so many heavenly treasures earlier to boost his pill-refining success rate. Turns out he wanted to gamble on refining a Bodhi Pill, hoping to gain fame under the gaze of the entire Zhongzhou Continent. However, with his current strength, the success rate for such a pill is pitifully low."

Tian Lei Zi stared fixedly at Lin Feng's movements, then spoke in a muffled voice.

As for Xuan Kong Zi, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Rather than whether he can succeed, I'm curious where that brat obtained the Bodhi seed. This treasure, when refined into a pill, can increase the success rate for a Nine-turn Dou Zun Peak breakthrough to Half Saint; it is exceedingly rare in the world, and even after we three have searched for so long, we have found not a trace of news."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi's bodies trembled, and their gazes toward Lin Feng quietly turned fiery.

The three of them have remained at the Nine-turn Dou Zun Peak for dozens of years.

Throughout this long period, aside from Xuan Kong Zi having already touched the edge of the Half Saint Realm and stepped half a foot into it,

the two of them cannot even sense the existence of the Half Saint Realm, let alone break through.

Of course, Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi have not given up either; instead, they have scoured the world for objects that could aid their breakthrough to the Half Saint Realm.

But even as the two giants of the Dan Tower, after searching for dozens of years, they still have found no clue.

Yet today, they abruptly learned that Lin Feng might possess a Bodhi seed in his hand, naturally stirring their hearts.

"Damn it, if I had known earlier that Lin Feng had a Bodhi seed, I should have sent Xiao Yan with a dozen or so Dou Zun to kill that brat and seize the seed!"

Thinking of how his chance to break through to Half Saint had slipped away, Xuan Yi couldn't help but feel some regret.

Facing his enemies, his mind was surely set on not yielding an inch.

Now, seeing the object he had painstakingly sought for decades slip through his fingers, Xuan Yi's fists clenched tightly.

As for Tian Lei Zi, his thoughts were virtually identical to Xuan Yi's.

Having climbed all the way to this point, they were certainly no benevolent souls.

As for forcibly seizing objects, who knows how many times they have done it.

One need not look further than the reputable medicine dust of Zhongzhou, which has also engaged in plenty of such deeds.

Even the Flame Mantra was originally snatched by them from the Light and Shadow Space, ambushing the old man Mu Gu when he was off guard.

Thus, Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi naturally would not mind "borrowing" something from Lin Feng's hands.

"I fear that Bodhi seed will soon be ruined by that brat."

At that moment, Tian Lei Zi shook his head and said helplessly.

Although they could sneakily steal, if the three of them were to openly seize an item from a contestant's hands in this public setting,

the consequences would be more than they could bear.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi stared for a moment, then gave a wry smile: "Indeed, with that brat's current conditions, he simply lacks the capability to refine a Bodhi Pill. This time, we're likely to be disappointed in vain."

Time flew like an arrow; more than ten days passed swiftly amidst the focused pill-refining of the thousands of participants.

And under Lin Feng's continuous refining, five to six hundred herbs were, within just over ten days, completely refined by him into the needed medicinal powder and liquid.

However, due to the subterranean earth-core jade mother beneath him, a constant stream of extremely pure earthen power flowed into his body.

Therefore, even as he continuously refined these extremely difficult-to-temper high-grade herbs, his spirit remained abundantly vigorous.

Furthermore, his mindset showed no sign of instability.

Of course, during this period many alchemists successfully refined pills.

However, the pills they produced were mostly sixth to seventh-grade intermediate.

As for seventh-grade high-level, there were only a pitiful two.

And where there is success, there is also failure; in this short span, the number of those whose cauldrons exploded for various reasons is also not small.

But aside from the emergence of those two Seventh Grade High-level pills, the other movements did not cause the surrounding audience seats to erupt in much applause.

After all, those who can come here to watch the pill gathering are generally not weak in strength.

Therefore, their emotions are naturally not so easily stirred.

And on the Shi Tai, Lin Feng, after seeing that all the auxiliary materials had been refined, immediately lightly wiped his Space Ring and took out an exquisite Cold Jade Box from it.

"Click~"

As the former lightly opened the box lid, an emerald green bead no bigger than a thumb suddenly appeared before Lin Feng's eyes.

That emerald green bead, although not very pure.

It was, after Lin Feng's selection, the lowest-quality Bodhi Seed in his hand.

But even so, at the moment of its appearance, a fresh fragrance brimming with vigorous life gradually spread.

Other pill alchemists a few Shi Tai away from Lin Feng, upon smelling this fresh fragrance, had their spirits, which were somewhat fatigued from continuous pill refining, instantly refreshed.

"That's a Bodhi Seed?!"

A pill alchemist with decent insight, upon seeing the emerald green bead in Lin Feng's hand, first stared blankly for a moment, then his voice became extremely sharp due to extreme shock.

"Whoosh~"

Hearing that sharp cry, the crowd quickly turned their heads to look toward Lin Feng.

Such Bodhi Seeds, which are extremely rare treasures, are not recognized by most people.

But its name is widely circulated among pill alchemists and high-level cultivators.

Now, upon hearing the name of this thing, everyone is naturally extremely curious.

"Good heavens, it really is a Bodhi Seed!"

A Dou Zun strongperson from the audience seats, upon clearly seeing the bead in Lin Feng's hand, exclaimed in shock.

"Bodhi Seed, I've heard that this thing can help a Nine-turn Dou Zun break through to Half-Saint, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"What? Being able to be linked with the character 'Saint', this thing must surely be expensive."

"Hehe, don't look down on this thing's unassuming appearance; you can't just buy it if you want to. If you encounter something like the Pill Tower Three Giants, cultivators who are stuck at the Nine-turn Dou Zun breakthrough and are very wealthy, even if you offer a Nine-color Peak Pill as payment, they would still be willing to trade."

"Exactly."

Originally, the crowd waiting around the square for over ten days, some feeling drowsy, became boiling again due to the appearance of Lin Feng's Bodhi Seed.

There's no way, since this thing can only be produced by a Bodhi Tree, and that Bodhi Tree, which used to appear once every thousand years tens of thousands of years ago, has shown no movement for over ten thousand years.

This left countless Dou Zun and Half-Saint cultivators on the Dou Qi Continent helpless, and also caused the price of that Bodhi Seed to skyrocket.

After all, this thing is monopolized exclusively by the Bodhi Tree, consumer demand is extremely high, and the market supply is extremely scarce.

Under these circumstances, it would be strange if the price didn't go crazy!
