Twisting their still somewhat stiff necks, the two puppets lowered their heads to gaze at Lin Feng, who was seated cross-legged atop the stone platform.
Then, the two demon puppets placed their feet on the ground and knelt down on one knee.
Their heads slowly bowed in Lin Feng's direction.
At this moment, Lin Feng could clearly feel as if his soul had been split into two parts.
One part still controlled his own body, while the other now controlled the puppet in front of him.
"Not bad. With these two puppets, it's equivalent to having two Dou Zong-level bodyguards. In the future, whether I go into seclusion or refine pills, I won't have to worry about being disturbed."
Looking at the two puppets in front of him, Lin Feng chuckled softly, then swept them into his storage ring.
A few days later, in the valley that once housed the Demon Flame Valley headquarters...
At the center of the valley stood a tall, temporary stone platform, constructed on the surface of the ground.
This stone platform had been specially built under Queen Medusa's orders.
The reason was obvious—it was to serve as the place where Lin Feng would refine a seventh-tier pill.
As for the reason for refining pills out in the open?
There were two main reasons.
First, refining a seventh-tier pill, especially one that involved adding Rank 8 magic beast blood essence, would cause a commotion that couldn't be hidden anyway.
So rather than trying to conceal it sneakily, they might as well refine it openly and boldly right here.
Of course, proper defensive measures were absolutely necessary.
This time, Xiao Yixian and Medusa would both be present, creating a safe alchemy environment for Lin Feng.
After all, in Black-Corner Region, those madmen were capable of doing anything.
Second, this move was also meant to boost the reputation and deterrent power of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
As long as Lin Feng refined this pill in public, even if he ultimately failed...no one in the Black-Corner Region would dare look down on Heavenly Treasure Pavilion again.
After all, a youth barely over twenty, already on the verge of becoming a seventh-tier alchemist—any force thinking of provoking Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in the future...would have to seriously consider if they could bear the retaliation of such a terrifying figure!
"Whoosh~"
From the distant skies above the stone platform, a few subtle sonic booms suddenly echoed through the air.
Then, several miles above the stone platform...at some unknown point in time, over a dozen figures had already appeared, hovering midair.
Among them were familiar faces from Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, such as Mo Tianxing, Su Qian, and others.
There were also some unfamiliar Dou Zong experts from the southern parts of the Black-Corner Region, as well as several Dou Zongs from nearby empires.
Having heard that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had an alchemist attempting to refine a seventh-tier pill, curiosity drove them all to come watch this rare sight.
At this time, Lin Feng was already seated cross-legged atop the stone platform.
Not far behind him, two graceful female figures—Medusa and Xiao Yixian—floated in mid-air, guarding silently.
Around them, a large number of Dou Huang-level experts maintained tight security.
The defensive formation at the scene could only be described as airtight!
Clang~!
With a light swipe of Lin Feng's finger across the Serene Sea Storage Ring, a heavy metallic thud resounded, quickly spreading out from the stone platform.
A massive crimson pill cauldron landed firmly in front of him.
Looking at the densely inscribed beast engravings on the cauldron, a hint of solemnity flashed across Lin Feng's pitch-black eyes.
The materials for the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill, after days of collection by his subordinates...combined with what he himself had searched from the storage rings in his possession...
He had only managed to gather enough for two attempts. That meant… he could only afford to fail once at most. Otherwise, he would have to spend even more time gathering the medicinal ingredients again.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng slightly curled his palm upward, and a cluster of jade-green flames slowly rose from his hand.
With a flick of his finger, the flame transformed into a fast-moving fireball that shot straight into the furnace's ignition opening.
"Boom—!"
With a muffled explosion, it burst within the cauldron.
The searing flames tumbled and raged endlessly inside the pill cauldron.
The surrounding air rapidly grew scorching hot, and the temperature of the entire area spiked sharply.
Lin Feng slowly closed his eyes as the information about the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill resurfaced in his mind.
"Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill, low seventh-tier. It possesses the miraculous effect of improving physical constitution and enhancing the innate cultivation talent of an unborn fetus."
"Refining this pill requires extremely complex materials—a total of seventy-seven ingredients. The four core ingredients are: Dragon Blood Ganoderma, Bone Spirit Fruit, Mysterious Sky Green Vine, and the blood essence of a Rank 7 or higher magic beast."
Recalling the complete and detailed refinement method of the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill, Lin Feng let out a long breath.
He gathered all his focus and directed it at the crimson pill cauldron before him.
After a brief moment of stillness, he flicked his storage ring with a light motion of his finger.
With a flash of light, a blood-red Ganoderma appeared in his hand. As soon as this herb emerged, a dense bloody scent began to spread in the air.
Hidden within this bloody aroma, one could faintly detect a rich and pure energy fluctuation.
This blood-colored herb was one of the core materials used to refine the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill—Dragon Blood Ganoderma.
It could only sprout under very specific conditions—after absorbing the fresh blood of three different serpent-type magic beasts, and even then, only with a very slim chance.
Staring at the blood-ganoderma filled with chilling energy in his palm, Lin Feng flicked his finger, sending it directly into the cauldron.
The Glazed Lotus Heart Flame that had long been waiting inside the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron suddenly surged in temperature.
Then it pounced upward, wrapping around the Dragon Blood Ganoderma. The scorching temperature continuously roasted the herb, drawing out its medicinal essence.
After that, Lin Feng continued to toss in over a dozen different kinds of supporting materials.
Under his exquisite flame control, the jade-green flame split into multiple streams.
Each stream released a different temperature, perfectly matching the nature of each specific herb it burned.
After several hours, Lin Feng finally refined the first mass of blood-red medicinal liquid.
Letting out a long breath, he used his soul power to gently move the liquid to a corner of the cauldron.
Then he pulled out the second main ingredient—Bone Spirit Fruit.
Once it entered the furnace, he again added several supplementary materials to refine it together.
Several more hours passed before the Bone Spirit Fruit was successfully refined.
Without pause, Lin Feng retrieved the Mysterious Sky Green Vine and tossed it into the cauldron.
Along with more than twenty other supplementary ingredients, he continued the refining process.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but eventually, Lin Feng stared at the three distinct medicinal liquids, each about the size of a fist, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, from his storage ring, he retrieved a jade bottle.
Tipping the bottle slightly, a single drop of blue-red blood slowly slid down the jade wall and toward the bottle's mouth before finally dripping out.
Yet the drop of blood did not fall to the ground.
Instead, it hovered in the air before Lin Feng, gently undulating.
Though small in volume, the violent energy within this drop of blood made it extremely intimidating.
The moment it appeared, all the powerful figures observing from the skies felt a chill deep in their hearts.
It was the kind of fear one experiences when standing before an overwhelmingly powerful being.
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, thinking about the blood he had obtained from Zi Yan.
"Let's hope this works…" Murmuring softly to himself, Lin Feng clenched his teeth and waved his palm.
A gust of wind swept the blue-red drop of blood precisely into the pill cauldron.
