"No wonder so many people spend their whole lives stuck at the peak of the Mortal Realm without ever breaking through. The gap between the Mortal Realm and the Spirit Realm is truly enormous."
Sensing the strength of his soul at this moment, Lin Feng blinked his now unusually bright and lively eyes, full of amazement.
After advancing to the Spirit Realm, his soul power had increased more than tenfold compared to before. If he were to compete with his former self in terms of soul power now, with just a single move, he could instantly crush the old him.
"There's still some time before the Pill Gathering. With my current soul power, getting into the top ten shouldn't be a problem."
Lin Feng smiled faintly, calculating in his heart. He figured this period of seclusion must have taken quite some time. After thinking for a bit, he decided to first visit Elder Zhong and Dan Chen, then try refining an eighth-tier pill.
Along the way, he could also ask Elder Zhong for some guidance.
Although he possessed the alchemy notes of Dan Yitian, the unnamed eight-colored eighth-tier alchemist, and the two-colored eighth-tier alchemist Ouyang Jie, notes were still just notes — they could never compare to the personal guidance of a true alchemy master.
During these days, he had learned that Elder Zhong, although he hadn't entered the Grand Elder Hall of the Small Pill Tower, was himself a seven-colored eighth-tier alchemist. If he could receive guidance from such a figure, he would definitely be able to refine eighth-tier pills much faster.
As for the medicinal ingredients needed to refine low-grade eighth-tier pills, thanks to Ouyang Jie's "generous assistance" and the numerous herbs Zi Yan had brought earlier, he currently lacked nothing. Then, he stood up and strode toward the cultivation room's door.
Afterward, he quickly flew off toward his residence. However, when he arrived, he found not a single figure in sight. Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately guessed that they had all gone to attend class.
Without hesitation, he stepped on the ground, and his figure shot toward the lecture area.
"Whoosh~"
Not long after, Lin Feng's figure suddenly appeared above the plaza.
As an experienced eighth-tier alchemist, Elder Zhong naturally noticed him the moment he arrived. Immediately, he stopped lecturing, his gaze turning toward Lin Feng with a faint look of surprise.
The other students, seeing this, were confused, but subconsciously followed Elder Zhong's gaze. Among them was none other than Xiao Yan, who had been missing for quite some time.
The next moment, Lin Feng appeared before them. Whether it was just an illusion or not, everyone felt that the Lin Feng before them seemed to possess a faint, ethereal aura that was hard to grasp.
"Lin Feng, you actually managed to break through to a Spirit Realm soul!"
Elder Zhong finally came back to his senses, his voice filled with disbelief.
Previously, Lin Feng's soul power had indeed been strong, but from his experience, it should have taken him at least another year to step into the Spirit Realm. Yet now, after disappearing for just half a month, Lin Feng had directly advanced into the Spirit Realm.
Based on Elder Zhong's perception, Lin Feng didn't look like someone who had just broken through. Not only had his realm stabilized completely, but his soul power was even on par with some three-colored eighth-tier alchemists.
"Whoa!"
At those words, the surrounding students erupted in an uproar.
Their expressions all changed drastically, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. Now they finally understood why, upon seeing Lin Feng earlier, they'd felt that strange, extraordinary aura from him!
Those who could sit here were not without knowledge — they knew full well just how vast the gap was between the Mortal Realm and the Spirit Realm!
As for Cao Ying, that charming and seductive face of hers was also filled with disbelief. Before, when she had lost to Lin Feng during the assessment, Cao Ying had never believed it was because of her weaker soul power.
She had thought that she merely lacked battle experience — that she had fallen into his trick, and that was why she lost. But now, the other party had completely surpassed her in soul power, leaving her far behind.
For someone who had been used to winning ever since she was a child, that was something hard to accept.
"Hmph, Lin Feng, just you wait! Sooner or later, I'll completely crush you beneath me!"
A trace of defiant determination flashed in Cao Ying's crimson eyes as she silently gritted her teeth.
As for Song Qing, a flicker of jealousy passed through his gaze. As the disciple of the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower, he had only just broken through to the peak of seventh-tier alchemist two months ago. And Lin Feng, that nobody — what right did he have to surpass him so easily?
A Spirit Realm soul? He himself would probably need three to five years of arduous cultivation before even having a chance to reach that level. However, Lin Feng at this moment was completely unaware of what the two in front of him were thinking.
After hearing Elder Zhong's inquiry, he nodded slightly and chuckled. "I was lucky this time and managed to break through to the Spirit Realm soul. So I thought I'd come ask Elder Zhong for some guidance on refining eighth-tier pills."
"Hiss!"
Hearing him personally confirm it, everyone drew in a sharp breath.
While they were all still struggling at the seventh-tier, Lin Feng had already started learning how to refine eighth-tier pills. How could the gap between people be this huge?
At the side, Xiao Yan frowned tightly the moment he heard that Lin Feng's soul power had broken through to the Spirit Realm. The stronger Lin Feng became, the slimmer his chances of obtaining that strange flame from him.
What's more, their relationship was anything but good. Naturally, he wasn't the least bit pleased to see Lin Feng growing stronger.
"Hu~"
Hearing Lin Feng's confirmation, Elder Zhong let out a slow breath, though his eyes still carried shock.
When he was over sixty years old, he had only then managed to break through to the Spirit Realm soul. Lin Feng, at barely over twenty, had already reached that same level. If he continued to grow like this, it wasn't impossible for him to one day reach the peak of an eighth-tier alchemist.
As for the ninth-tier... he didn't dare think that far. He then slowly said, "It just so happens I'm free right now. Once class is over, I'll give you some guidance on refining eighth-tier pills. For now, find a place to sit down."
"Yes."
Lin Feng nodded, and his gaze swept across the group. Finally, it stopped at Dan Chen. Then, he lifted his foot and walked in that direction. Of course, he also noticed that Xiao Yan — who had been missing for quite some time — had reappeared here.
At the same time, he saw that the guy's Dou Qi strength had reached Three-Star Dou Zong. But such strength, Lin Feng wasn't the least bit afraid of.
"Brother Lin Feng, congratulations."
When Lin Feng approached, Dan Chen's gentle voice softly congratulated him.
Hearing that, Lin Feng smiled warmly. "With your current soul power, Sister Dan Chen, you'll be able to step into the Spirit Realm within a year at most. And you're still a few years younger than me, too."
