Chapter 1918: Chapter 1919: Third Level Elixir Tribulation!
Three days later, Elder Lyee finally gathered all the ingredients needed to refine the Nine Orifice Numbing Elixir, a total of three sets, and personally handed them over to Ling Feng with utmost respect.
After all, this Nine Orifice Numbing Elixir is a ninth-grade elixir, even an Alchemy Grandmaster of the Alchemy Emperor level does not dare to say they have a 100% chance of succeeding in a single attempt.
Unless they are a higher-level Elixir Saint, they might have more than a ninety percent chance of refining such an elixir.
Ling Feng, with a cultivation only in the early stage of the Emperor Realm, and so young at that, to be honest, Elder Lyee really had no surety in his heart.
"Young Master Ling, here is the Nine Heart Sea Soul Flower you needed, this spirit flower was truly hard to find, otherwise, I would have gathered all the ingredients two days ago."
Lyee Yao handed the three Nine Heart Sea Soul Flowers to Ling Feng with a smile, his face showing a bit of a pained expression.
After all, gathering three sets of ingredients for refining the Nine Orifice Numbing Elixir nearly consumed several years’ worth of the Flying Horse Ranch’s profits.
However, in comparison, if he could advance to the Silver Battle Soul, any cost would be worth it.
"Nine Heart Sea Soul Flower is indeed quite rare."
Ling Feng nodded slightly, the Lyee Family is quite capable, managing to find such a rare flower in such a short time, Ling Feng thought he might have to wait another half a month.
"Young Master Ling, regarding the pill furnace?"
Lyee Yao smiled at Ling Feng, knowing that when refining high-level elixirs, the pill furnace is a critical component, greatly affecting an alchemist’s success rate.
"I happen to have a Holy Artifact level Yin Yang Xuanhuo Tripod."
Ling Feng took out the Yin Yang Xuanhuo Tripod, which he had acquired back in the Tianlan Sea Domain from Sea Dragon Island.
While it’s not an exceptional pill furnace, it will suffice for refining the Nine Orifice Numbing Elixir.
Lyee Yao carefully examined Ling Feng’s pill furnace, his heart sank a bit, thinking that although the Yin Yang Xuanhuo Tripod is not bad, it might be a bit risky to use it to refine such an elixir.
After all, he didn’t think Ling Feng’s alchemy skills were advanced enough to ignore the auxiliary effect of a good pill furnace.
If all three sets fail, he’d be too devastated to cry.
Ling Feng noticed Lyee Yao’s little worry but didn’t point it out, and merely said, "Alright, since the ingredients are all here, let’s start refining."
"Young Master Ling, my Lyee Family also has a pill furnace, an Upper Grade Holy Artifact, perhaps you should use that one?" Lyee Yao forced a smile.
"No need, this one suits me well."
With that, Ling Feng clapped his hand, and threw the Yin Yang Xuanhuo Tripod on the ground, then flames erupted around him, the Swallowing Flame surged forward, and in a "swoosh," it drilled straight into the base of the Yin Yang Xuanhuo Tripod, starting to heat the furnace.
To this day, Ling Feng’s techniques in controlling fire can no longer be compared to before.
Whether it’s the Skyfire Avenue Technique taught by Yan Cangtian, or the Xuanhuo Nine Refining Technique taught by Su Dongling, who is known as the Sky White Empire’s First Poison Master, Ling Feng has long reached the level of Yuanrong Yi Zhuan, far surpassing that realm and creating his own style.
Before, he needed to follow the usual alchemy steps, first processing the ingredients, extracting spiritual energy, then controlling the flame and adjusting the furnace’s temperature, but now, he can manage both at once.
Swish swish swish!
Lyee Yao only saw Ling Feng’s every movement as swift as a violent storm, the whole process so fast that he couldn’t keep up.
"Gulp!"
Lyee Yao swallowed hard; such speed aside, having the ability to manage the situation so smoothly and methodically requires extraordinary concentration.
No wonder this young fellow, at such a young age, possesses the Silver Battle Soul!
Lyee Yao marveled inwardly, completely convinced.
The whole alchemy process lasted only about two hours.
Rumble!
As Ling Feng continuously sent fire techniques into the pill furnace, a sudden thunderclap resounded from the heavenly vault, then dark clouds rolled across the sky, and the world changed color.
"Elixir...Elixir Tribulation!"
Lyee Yao was utterly dumbfounded; though not an alchemist, he knew that only elixirs with Elixir Patterns could trigger an Elixir Tribulation.
And this Nine Orifice Numbing Elixir is a ninth-grade elixir, Ling Feng, at such a young age, can refine ninth-grade Elixir Patterns!
This guy, what kind of monster is he!
And elixirs with Elixir Patterns have vastly improved effects compared to those without!
Crack!
Thunder rolled, rain poured like a waterfall.
The entire Lyee Family was stunned beyond belief.
"Young Master Ling, focus on collecting the elixir, I’ll handle the Elixir Tribulation!"
At the moment the thunder erupted, Lyee Yao was incredibly excited inside, about to obtain the Nine Orifice Numbing Elixir with condensed Elixir Patterns, his chances of advancing to Silver Battle Soul would greatly increase, as would the speed.
Ling Feng nodded slightly, with Lyee Yao’s strength, dealing with the Nine Orifice Numbing Elixir’s tribulation was certainly no problem.
Crackle!
The Elixir Tribulation lasted a good half hour, Lyee Yao used all his means, ending up a bit disheveled, but he finally withstood the tribulation.
The dark clouds at the horizon gradually dispersed, Ling Feng cast a Dragon Capturing Seal, and shouted, "Collect!"
In the next moment, three round elixirs were collected by Ling Feng into the jade box.
Only then did Lyee Yao, gasping for breath, jump down and wipe the sweat from his forehead, smiling bitterly, "That Elixir Tribulation was really formidable!"
Ling Feng smiled faintly, "You, Elder Lyee, are the exceptional one, withstanding a Triple Elixir Tribulation."
With that, Ling Feng opened the jade box, presenting it to Lyee Yao.
Inside the jade box, the three round elixirs lay quietly, emitting an enticing fragrance.
What shocked Lyee Yao the most was that each elixir had Elixir Patterns!
All three sets of ingredients were successfully refined, and they all had Elixir Patterns!
"This...This..."
Lyee Yao was completely dumbfounded, no wonder he felt the tribulation was extremely taxing, it turned out to be a Triple Elixir Tribulation!
And Ling Feng, just what level of alchemist is he, could it be, at such a young age, he’s already comparable to an Elixir Saint?
"According to our agreement, of the three elixirs, I give you only one."
Ling Feng casually tossed one to Lyee Yao, maintaining a calm demeanor.
"Of course, of course!"
Lyee Yao chuckled awkwardly; alchemy has a certain success rate, so when asking an alchemist to refine elixirs, multiple sets of ingredients are generally prepared.
If more than one set was successfully refined, aside from the one originally requested, the rest belong to the alchemist.
This is a rule followed throughout the Xuanling Continent, as high-level alchemists are rare, thus their status naturally rises.
Lyee Yao, although a bit regretful, understood clearly that just one Nine Orifice Numbing Elixir with Elixir Patterns was already exponentially more valuable, and he dared not hope for the rest.
