However, he had already been in the Small Pill Tower for more than two months, yet he still hadn't found a suitable opportunity.
After all, he couldn't just go around telling everyone that he knew members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, nor could he simply hang the spatial jade slip around his neck for others to see.
But that Elder just now had asked if he was willing to exchange his Sky Demon Puppet. That instantly sparked an idea in his mind — a perfect opportunity.
"Ancient Void Dragon Clan?!"
The moment those words came out of his mouth, the dozen or so old powerhouses around him all lost control of their emotions, gasping in shock.
The Ancient Void Dragon Clan was a true overlord among magic beasts. Not to mention them, even if the Grand Elder of the Small Pill Tower were to meet one, he'd have to treat them with utmost care.
"That's right, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. They possess an exceptionally strong spatial talent, and through countless generations of inheritance, they've come across many ancient relics within the void. Because of this, they've also gathered quite a number of puppets that appear frequently within those ruins."
"Since my friend carries royal blood from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, and holds quite a respectable status, I was able to acquire these puppets through him."
Lin Feng said, half-truth and half-lie.
"Hiss~"
Upon hearing the words royal bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, the surrounding dozen or so Small Pill Tower powerhouses all sharply sucked in a breath of cold air.
After being stunned for a while, the white-haired Elder who first spoke finally exhaled, exclaiming, "No wonder you possess such a peculiar puppet, turns out you're acquainted with someone from such an ancient clan."
As for whether the Ancient Void Dragon Clan truly had many puppets, none of them really doubted it. After all, that clan's heaven-defying spatial abilities were absolutely real. And besides, every one of those ancient clans had existed for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.
Who knew how many relics the Ancient Void Dragons might have discovered within the endless depths of the void.
"I'll take those two Dou Zun puppets."
After a brief silence, the voice of the same Elder who first spoke sounded again. As he finished speaking, he reached into his ring, preparing to take out two seven-colored eighth-tier pills.
"Hey, that's not fair. There are only two golden puppets in total, and you want to hog them both yourself?"
Hearing that he intended to buy all the Sky Demon Puppets at once, another Elder immediately jumped up to stop him.
As soon as the others heard that, they too came to their senses and started scolding the first Elder for trying to take everything for himself. After all, these puppets that could absorb pill lightning to evolve were something they were all extremely curious about.
"Aren't there still the silver ones? You can go for those. Besides, judging from this youngster's tone, there must still be plenty of puppets within the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
Let him go talk to them again and bring you a few more. After all, no matter how strong the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is, they'd definitely be interested in high-tier pills."
The Elder being scolded instantly started arguing back, unwilling to be talked down by the others.
"Ha! Those silver ones are only at the Dou Zong level, how could they compare to these golden Dou Zun ones? And who knows how long it'll take for another batch to appear? Why don't you wait for the next round yourself?"
The other Elders were equally unwilling to back down, immediately shouting back in retaliation.
"I was the first to say it, so they should be mine first! Besides, I'm from the Grand Elder's Court — can't I use a little privilege here?!"
"."
For a moment, the previously composed crowd broke into chaos, hurling insults back and forth. They even started digging up each other's embarrassing pasts, airing them all out without restraint.
"Young man, how far can these silver puppets of yours evolve?"
At this time, several Elders stepped forward to ask Lin Feng. All of them were only seven-colored eighth-tier alchemists, and with family obligations holding them back, their wealth wasn't exactly abundant.
But for these puppets capable of evolving by absorbing the power of lightning, they were also extremely curious, thinking they might as well exchange for one of the cheaper silver puppets just to play around with.
"I once tested one near the Thunder Pool close to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's territory. A puppet of this level, if it can absorb enough lightning power, should reach its peak strength somewhere around Seven- to Eight-Star Dou Zun."
Lin Feng casually made up a reason as he replied.
Then he continued to explain, "And there's another thing — even if these puppets are damaged in battle, as long as their core isn't destroyed or missing essential parts, once they absorb enough lightning power, they can fully recover to their original state!"
After all, in the original story, Xiao Yan had used the massive corpse of that Old Ground Demon Ghost, who was at the Seven-Star Dou Zong level, and added a Rank 7 magic core to refine his Earth Demon Puppet.
In the end, that puppet had evolved all the way to the Five-Star Dou Zun level. Meanwhile, the three Earth Demon Puppets Lin Feng had refined were made from materials that were top-tier within the Dou Zong class.
Not to mention, the metallic materials he used were countless times stronger than what Xiao Yan had used to make Old Ground Demon Ghost's body. Saying they could evolve up to Seven-Star Dou Zun was actually quite a conservative estimate.
"Not bad. A puppet that can reach the combat strength of a Seven- to Eight-Star Dou Zun is already strong enough for the outstanding younger generation of our family to use for self-protection.
Plus, it can heal itself quickly, be reused repeatedly, and has no lifespan limit. Even if the family's strength declines in the future, this could still serve as a life-saving trump card."
After listening, those Elders all nodded in satisfaction, clearly pleased.
They could all tell that there had to be an upper limit to the puppet's evolution. But this so-called limit had already far surpassed their expectations. A puppet that could last for thousands of years and even evolve — all for just three five-colored eighth-tier pills.
They found Lin Feng to be remarkably generous.
After all, hiring an Eight-Star Dou Zun powerhouse to carry out a highly dangerous task would normally cost around one five-colored eighth-tier pill. Yet with this puppet, as long as it wasn't destroyed, it could quietly do any dangerous task for them, indefinitely.
Of course, they had no idea that these Earth Demon Puppets were refined by Lin Feng himself. And the cost of refining such a puppet...
Even a single two-colored eighth-tier pill would be enough to trade for dozens of them. The profit margin was absolutely terrifying — far greater than selling pills.
"Then, could you perhaps help us make some introductions later? We'd like to exchange for more puppets if possible. The price can remain the same."
The Elders exchanged glances, and one of them finally spoke up to ask.
Hearing that, Lin Feng pretended to think for a moment before nodding, said, "No problem. I'll go talk to her later — I should be able to persuade them. After all, while the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is indeed powerful, their demand for pills is still quite high. Though magic beasts can directly consume medicinal herbs, the effect is definitely inferior to refined pills."
