This level is definitely not that of an ordinary Master of Alchemy Path!

This Ascender from the Lower Realm is far more terrifying and valuable than they initially thought!

Taking a deep breath, Elder Chu opened the jade bottle and immediately saw the situation inside. Thirty-six round elixirs shimmered with captivating luster, emitting a faint fragrance that quickly returned to the elixir within the confined space of the jade bottle.

Thirty-six Soul Shattered Pills, thirty-six Flawless Soul Shattered Pills!

Elder Chu’s mind buzzed, feeling completely stupefied. He had made many guesses before, but none of them included thirty-six Soul Shattered Pills, all of which were Flawless Quality.

How is this possible!

It must be known that Soul Shattered Pills are extremely difficult to refine, requiring an excellent pill master. Furthermore, even for top pill masters, producing three to five Spirit Pills out of a batch of thirty-six would already be quite good. Yet, for this Ascender from the Lower Realm, in his first attempt, he directly refined thirty-six Soul Shattered Pills. The most terrifying part is that all thirty-six elixirs are Flawless Quality!

Elder Chu felt like he was going mad. He had been in Ning City for many years, but the Flawless Quality elixirs he had seen over those years combined didn’t match the number he saw today. His heart raced, his mind went blank, and he didn’t know what to say.

Beside him, Zhang Shaoyuan quickly leaned over, and with just one glance, his pupils dilated, frozen where he stood.

Thirty-six Flawless Soul Shattered Pills, these are thirty-six Flawless Soul Shattered Pills! Zhang Shaoyuan’s mouth moved slightly, his gaze shifting to Lin Feng, realizing that the value of this Ascender from the Lower Realm was so high that it could propel him to the top within the entire auction house’s power structure!

He must recruit him, he must recruit him! Zhang Shaoyuan was extremely excited inside, but outwardly he remained composed.

Lin Feng gazed at Elder Chu and Zhang Shaoyuan bewilderedly. What was wrong with these two? As soon as they saw the bottle of elixirs, they reacted like this, and Zhang Shaoyuan’s eyes were burning as he looked over... What kind of trick were these two playing?

Elder Chu snapped back to reality, opening the second jade bottle. Upon seeing thirty-six Soul Shattered Pills again, his mind was shaken once more. However, this time, five of them had flaws, and having already been awed by the previous bottle of thirty-six Flawless Soul Shattered Pills, he was simply shocked inside.

Gazing at Lin Feng, Elder Chu said, "Young Master, there are only five flawed elixirs in this bottle..."

"Yes, indeed." Lin Feng nodded, somewhat feeling, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said the Soul Shattered Pill is difficult to refine. In my first attempt, five flawed elixirs appeared. But don’t worry; when refining this pill in the future, this won’t happen."

Lin Feng’s words stuck in Elder Chu’s throat, catching him off guard. He intended to praise Lin Feng, but he hadn’t expected this Ascender from the Lower Realm to be so dissatisfied with the result!

His mouth twitched, recalling Lin Feng’s prior statement about the difficulty of refining the pill, thinking it meant a failed attempt. But the man was actually referring to five flawed elixirs during the refinement. If he considered elixirs with flaws to be challenging, wouldn’t well-refined elixirs all be of Flawless Quality?

How many pill masters are there in the world who aspire to refine one Flawless Elixir but are unsuccessful? Yet here, dissatisfaction arises from producing flawed elixirs! If other pill masters knew about this, they would surely burst into tears.

Elder Chu and Zhang Shaoyuan exchanged glances, their hearts filled with intense emotion. Such talent, such a Master of Alchemy Path—considering his current capabilities—would already bring them many benefits!

"Are you satisfied with these elixirs?" Lin Feng asked, looking at the two: "If you’re not satisfied..."

"Satisfied, satisfied..." Elder Chu hurriedly said, "Young Master, we are very satisfied with your elixirs."

"Indeed," Zhang Shaoyuan chimed in, "We are extremely satisfied with these elixirs. May I ask for your esteemed name, Young Master?"

"My name is Lin Feng."

"Young Master Lin," Zhang Shaoyuan immediately said with a clasped fist, "I see you’re newly ascended from the Lower Realm and might not have many Yuan Stones with you, making things inconvenient. Why not take a title at our auction house as a Guest Elder?"

"Guest Elder?" Lin Feng’s expression shifted: "An alchemy Guest Elder?"

"Yes, Young Master," Zhang Shaoyuan said, "We provide the alchemy prescriptions and materials, and you only need to carry out the refining. Once the elixirs are auctioned, the proceeds will be split fifty-fifty. How does that sound?"

"A fifty-fifty split? Not bad," Lin Feng nodded, saying, "But I can only come for refining when I have the time. If you agree, then I’ll take on the Guest Elder role."

"No problem," Zhang Shaoyuan said with a smile, "By the way, Young Master Lin, a grand auction will be held here in five days. If you’re interested in purchasing anything, you should come by then. If you’re short on Yuan Stones, we can front you the funds for the auction."

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, "Then I’ll return in five days."

After saying this, Lin Feng turned and left the auction house.

Inside the auction house, Elder Chu and Zhang Shaoyuan both had excited glimmers in their eyes. Befriending this young master of alchemy had definitely paid off! As Lin Feng’s power and reputation grew in the future, their status in the auction house would also become increasingly important.

This deal, totally worth it!

...

Upon leaving the auction house, a flash of light appeared before Lin Feng’s eyes, and his shoulder felt a slight weight. Little Tangyuan, who had gone out wandering earlier, returned to his shoulder.

Lin Feng patted Little Tangyuan and said, "See any good stuff?"

Little Tangyuan rolled its eyes and said, "Boss, you know, Ning City is just a small place. I just strolled around most parts of the city and didn’t find any good stuff. If we want to find good things, we should check out the remaining few places. But Boss, don’t get your hopes up."

"Hmm, alright, you lead the way. Since we’re here in Ning City, we might as well take a look," Lin Feng said to Tangyuan.

Lin Feng had great trust in this little one’s treasure-hunting abilities. Although its strength was lacking, it excelled in hiding, escaping, and treasure hunting. If it said there wasn’t anything good, there was likely nothing good in those places.

The little one immediately began directing Lin Feng to the places it hadn’t been to yet.

Along the way, Lin Feng briefly observed the surroundings, while Tangyuan on his shoulder chirped on, introducing everything to him. Its little head tilted up proudly as if saying, how about it? Isn’t this beast knowledgeable? Compliment me, compliment me!

Lin Feng glanced at Tangyuan and ignored its antics, instead concentrating his eyes and Divine Sense to probe everything around him. Although Ning City was small and the chances of finding something good seemed slim, there was still a slight chance, which made a thorough search worth it.

After walking a bit further, Little Tangyuan, who had been chattering on Lin Feng’s shoulder, suddenly fell silent. Its cute face showed a human-like expression of confusion. Its nose twitched slightly as it closed its eyes to carefully discern the source of a scent. Two or three breaths later, it opened its eyes, excitedly saying to Lin Feng, "Boss! Boss! There’s something good nearby!"

Lin Feng calmly nodded, "Lead the way."

Little Tangyuan eagerly led the way, its excitement in stark contrast to Lin Feng’s calm demeanor. Anything that its nose could pick up must be extraordinary. Although they didn’t yet know exactly what it was, the little creature had already decided it must get its hands on it!

Guided by Tangyuan, Lin Feng soon arrived at a stall on the street.

Looking at the stall, Little Tangyuan twitched its nose twice, took a deep sniff, and then nodded heavily, clearly telling Lin Feng that yes, this was the place.

Lin Feng glanced at the goods on the stall and immediately noticed that about ninety percent of the items had little value. Most were simply decorative objects. Such purely ornamental items were common in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, mostly used by God’s Citizens who couldn’t cultivate; they were essentially low-end products.

Yet, among these ornaments, Lin Feng discovered something peculiar.

It was a crystal-clear, azure bead, strung together with other beads of various colors to form a bracelet. At first glance, the bead didn’t seem unusual and appeared to be made from the same material as the others. The small hole drilled in its center was evidently made recently, with nothing particularly special about it.

But Lin Feng’s Divine Sense and eyesight were extremely acute. In an instant, he noticed that the hole in the azure bead was ever so slightly different from the others in size—a difference so minute that even a Divine Being couldn’t detect it.

"Boss, it’s that bead," Tangyuan carefully transmitted to Lin Feng, its eyes also glinting with doubt. It couldn’t tell what was special about the bead either, but intuition told it that the bead was extraordinary.

Lin Feng barely nodded and bent down to pick out two bracelets. "How much for these?"

The street vendor glanced at Lin Feng and casually said, "One Yuan Stone."

Lin Feng took out a Yuan Stone, tossed it to the vendor, and turned to leave.

The vendor was momentarily stunned, staring at the Yuan Stone in his hand. Having seen Lin Feng’s attire, he had guessed this was someone who had just ascended from the Lower Realm and decided to ask for one Yuan Stone, hoping to earn a bit more. But unexpectedly, this guy actually tossed out a Yuan Stone like it was nothing!

When did people who just ascended from the Lower Realm get so wealthy? The vendor ruefully scratched his head, feeling a hint of regret. If he had known, he would have asked for ten Yuan Stones, as the guy seemed unlikely to haggle.

Unaware of the vendor’s regret, Lin Feng walked away and, once out of sight, dismantled the bracelet to keep only that one unique bead, discarding all the other beads.
