Chapter 700: The Azure Blue Becomes a Pill

Seeing the surrounding situation, Lin Feng also felt very surprised.

Even he, the instigator, did not expect that this bodhi seed could actually cause such a huge commotion.

However, thinking that he was still refining the elixir, he temporarily ignored the surroundings.

He picked up the coarse emerald‑green bead from the cold jade box.

After a brief hesitation, he gave a swift wave, tossed it into the cauldron, and then hurriedly focused to control the fire.

Within the massive Beast Cauldron, blue‑green flames blazed fiercely.

That thumb‑sized emerald bead, however, showed no change at all while being wrapped in the raging alien fire.

If one senses carefully, one can notice a faint emerald glow emanating from the bodhi seed, shielding it from the extreme heat of the alien fire.

As for this scene, Lin Feng, this veteran who doesn't know how many elixirs he has refined, was not surprised.

Generally, all spiritual beings of heaven and earth possess self‑protection abilities, so a bodhi seed naturally can resist alien fire.

However, their defensive power is limited; as long as Lin Feng persists, he will eventually be able to fully refine this bodhi seed.

Immediately after, he maintained the temperature, and his eyes slowly closed.

This bodhi seed is not bodhi‑transformed saliva; the time required to refine it is surely not short.

And indeed, as Lin Feng expected, this refinement lasted nearly several days, and only then did the bodhi seed in the cauldron gradually crack open.

Droplets of emerald liquid flickered in and out of the cracks of the bead.

After breaking the outer protection of the bodhi seed, the subsequent refinement became much easier.

In less than a day, the bodhi seed, enwrapped by the green lotus earth‑fire in the cauldron, completely turned into a mass of emerald liquid, floating in the flames, gently writhing as if alive.

Looking at the extracted emerald liquid, Lin Feng let out a relieved sigh.

Now that the extraction is successfully completed, his next task is to perfectly fuse these hundreds of powders and liquids, forge them into a pill prototype, and finally form the elixir!

Fusion, however, is the most difficult step in the entire pill‑refining process.

Most importantly, the uproar caused by that bodhi seed far exceeded Lin Feng's expectations.

If he fails this time, he wouldn't dare take out a second one for re‑refining.

Then he would have to settle for using the ingredients he gathered from Xiong Zhan to refine a Seven‑colored Yun Tian Reverse Pill.

Therefore, Lin Feng places great importance on this fusion.

After all, he doesn't want to, after a failure, gloomily resort to refining a lower‑grade elixir.

At this thought, he temporarily halted his actions, gently closed his eyes, and quietly absorbed the pure earth energy transmitted by the earth‑core jade mother below.

This ingredient fusion not only consumes time but also drains energy terribly, and the bodhi elixir, an Eighth‑tier Eight‑colored Pill, is even worse.

Therefore, before making thorough preparations, he dares not act recklessly.

While he quietly closed his eyes to rest, the skies above many hovering Shi Tai began to fill with dense dark clouds.

As time passed, more and more contestants began to form pills.

Silver thunder serpents occasionally appear in this sky, producing bursts of roaring thunder.

As for the spectators around the plaza, watching the increasingly high‑grade elixirs emerge, their emotions were stirred.

Whenever the sky resounded with thunder chants, a chorus of exclamations erupted.

However, the senior members of the Pill Tower on the high platform were considerably more composed.

Those continuously emerging elixirs did not affect their emotions.

After all, over the years they have seen countless geniuses and senior alchemists, so they are not as easily excited as ordinary cultivators.

"Boom!"

At that moment, a low booming chant echoed through heaven and earth again.

Before the crowd could shift their gaze, the cultivators below the Dou Zun in the arena already sensed it.

A massive violent energy surge burst out like lightning from a Shi Tai.

As the energy rapidly spread, the clouds above quickly coalesced into a dense black mass.

Countless silver serpents writhed uneasily within.

"That woman is from the Ye family, one of the Pill Tower's Five Great Families!"

Since the Ye family made a name for itself in the Great Families assessment over a year ago, some people in the arena quickly recognized Ye Xinlan.

As for Ye Xinlan, who had been sitting cross‑legged under the endless clouds, she suddenly rose at this moment, her beautiful eyes slightly trembling as she gazed at the heavy clouds above.

The appearance of this pill thunder indicates that after about half a month of refining, with several failures in between, she finally achieved a result.

Moreover, this pill thunder is even more ferocious than any previous one.

"Great, Xinlan succeeded. Now our Ye family can finally solidify its position among the Five Great Families!"

Looking at the oppressive pressure overhead that made his heart race, Ye Zhong in the audience suddenly stood up, excitedly proclaiming.

Although with Lin Feng's help, the Ye family currently doesn't need to worry about that assessment.

But everyone knows that the Ye family's survival among the Pill Tower's Five Great Families is solely thanks to Lin Feng.

And now his granddaughter has produced such an elixir at this Pill Gathering.

The Ye family can now sweep away past gloom and stand tall again!

As for Feng Qinger and the Heavenly Fire Venerable seated beside him, they exchanged a glance and then helplessly shook their heads.

But they could understand the former's reaction.

If they were in Ye Zhong's position, their actions now would be no different from the former's.

"That Ye family girl actually refined a Seventh‑tier Peak Elixir!"

Gazing at the jade palm slowly lifting an unusually round elixir against the backdrop of endless thunder, the elders of the Pill Tower on the high platform exclaimed in astonishment.

"Crossing paths with Lin Feng, this Ye family must be booming."

At this moment, a Pill Tower elder shook his head enviously.

Although he didn't know why Ye Xinlan would grow so quickly.

But he knew that, relying on Ye Xinlan's own talent, it was absolutely impossible to grow that fast; not yet twenty years old, she was already able to refine a seven-grade peak pill.

All this is certainly due to Lin Feng's efforts behind the scenes.

"However, as an old man, I'm very curious—how does this Ye Clan girl intend to withstand this pill lightning?"

Another Pill Tower elder, upon seeing that pill lightning, immediately felt a bit curious and said.
