Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1725 - 1707: Picking a Time to Propose

In merely half a month’s time, the development of the Holy Wind Sect resumed its normal pace, flourishing under Xia Yuntian’s management, everything was back on track. At this time, Lin Feng also prepared to leave; he had more important things to do. The Seven Stars Stones were sufficient in number, and he planned to lay out a super formation across the entire Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm to defend against attacks from the Immortal Realm.

Previously, Lin Feng had planned to only use the Seven Stars Stones for the formation eyes of the super formation, but now, using the Seven Stars Stones for all parts was almost feasible. Lin Feng’s primary thought now was to set up a super formation with formidable defensive power to envelop the entire Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm! This way, even if the space passages were opened, the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm would be prepared.

After greeting the women, Lin Feng started to get busy setting up the formation. The women knew Lin Feng’s undertaking was significant, so they all supported him, telling him not to worry about the household affairs, as they would take good care of all the elders. Thus, Lin Feng began working on setting up the super formation—the Shangyuan Soul Killing Formation—over the entire Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm!

This kind of massive formation was Lin Feng’s first attempt. The Shangyuan Soul Killing Formation was divided into two parts, both offensive and defensive; it could be switched at any time. However, because the scope Lin Feng aimed to lay out was extremely wide, setting it up was labor-intensive even for him...

Time passed swiftly, and half a year had slipped by. Lin Feng had not yet completed laying out the Shangyuan Soul Killing Formation. This was something only Lin Feng dared to attempt; if another formation master were to try, they wouldn’t ever dare to think of it!

During this half-year time, nothing happened in the Holy Wind Sect. The children, under Moyan’s leadership and following Lin Feng’s arrangements, went into the Lost Forest to confront and train against the Demon Beasts. With Xia Lalan’s elixirs, the children’s strength significantly improved. Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu reached the level of Half-Step Human Immortal Realm, only waiting for an opportunity to break through to the Human Immortal Realm. Other children mostly were above the middle stage of Divine Change Realm.

Liao Chen and others were similar to the children, but the notable difference was that Liao Chen successfully broke through to the Human Immortal Realm while others were still in the early stages of the Divine Change Realm or hovering around the peak of the Infinitesimal Realm. There was nothing they could do about this; Liao Chen’s talent far surpassed these people, and his efforts were not comparable to anyone else. No one was jealous of Liao Chen becoming a strong practitioner in the Human Immortal Realm Peak.

Regarding the Demon Beasts in the Lost Forest, supported by the Alchemy Hall of the Holy Wind Sect, several Demon Kings successfully advanced to the peak of the Demon King Realm, reaching the strength of Half-Step Demon Immortal. Even other Demon Beasts saw general enhancement, especially numerous Demon Kings whose practical abilities soared during battles against the children; the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast was beyond pleased. Sometimes, even it got severely wounded in fights against the children, but the tremendous strength gains made it forget all the pains.

It could be said that during this time, the Demon Beasts in the Lost Forest truly went crazy; low-level Demon Beasts were basically all searching for Spiritual Medicine, while mid-level Demon Beasts simultaneously battled each other while seeking Spiritual Medicine. As for high-level Demon Beasts, they dedicated themselves to combat to enhance strength. They all knew what situations they would face. If the space passages were opened, the Lost Forest could only rely on them for defense, so they never loosened their efforts in strength improvement.

Under such circumstances, the Demon Beasts in the Lost Forest even became the fastest-growing force within the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm.

On this day, Xia Lalan made frequent mistakes while concocting elixirs, which made her feel unstable in mindset. Unable to do anything, she had to give up on continuing with alchemy and started to miss Lin Feng.

Scenes from the past replayed in her mind. The Holy Wind Sect had been established for over half a year. Under her leadership, the Alchemy Hall showed significant development momentum. Now she had selected nearly twenty apprentices ideal for alchemy, a ratio she didn’t anticipate, she could hardly believe the numbers when informed.

It should be noted that the threshold to become an Alchemist was extremely high; selecting one out of a hundred was already considered good. If there was no way to concoct elixirs in the future, more than half of these numbers would still be eliminated. Only those who persist might become alchemists, and that’s only a possibility! Now she already surpassed her task of nurturing alchemists, and with the alchemists merging from other sects and clans before, the Alchemy Hall had a total of 80 people at least, making any power go mad over these results.

She accomplished the mission Lin Feng entrusted to her, but her alchemy skills hit a bottleneck, unable to advance further. She had to pause and planned to seek out Lin Feng; besides Lin Feng, nobody could help her now.

"I haven’t seen you for a long time." Upon the phone connection, Xia Lalan’s voice carried a trace of resentment. Half a year ago, Lin Feng was busy accompanying his family and didn’t see her before engaging in setting up the formation. Now she really missed Lin Feng.

"Alright, I’ll be back." Lin Feng was arranging the Shangyuan Soul Killing Formation when he unexpectedly received Xia Lalan’s call. Without saying much, he hung up the phone. He knew Xia Lalan’s nature, certainly not as simple as just missing him; there must be other matters. Luckily, he hadn’t rested for a long time, going to see Xia Lalan wouldn’t be bad.

He glanced in the direction of Xia Lalan and stepped toward her; each step covered more than two thousand miles, appearing before Xia Lalan in just over ten steps.

Seeing Xia Lalan’s weary face made Lin Feng’s heart ache. Since their relationship was confirmed, countless events disrupted their lives. Even the original proposal talk was postponed, and meeting each other became difficult. Regarding this, Lin Feng felt really guilty, so when they met, he didn’t say much but merely grabbed Xia Lalan’s wrist with one hand and closed his eyes.

He wasn’t reassured about Xia Lalan’s health and wanted to check her physical condition. After examining Xia Lalan, Lin Feng felt relieved. Xia Lalan’s body was merely exhausted, garnering such a result, Lin Feng felt even more pained. He directly held Xia Lalan in his arms, gently saying, "Don’t work so hard, it’s my fault not taking care of you."

Compliantly leaning against Lin Feng’s chest, Xia Lalan’s face showed a sweet smile, promptly responding, "Don’t say that; as your woman, sharing your burdens is what I should do."

Her words were full of tenderness; from the very start, she had always thought this way. Lin Feng was destined to become the number one person standing firm as a pillar of the world, and she could share some of his burdens. No matter how hard or exhausting it was, she was willing. Moreover, she knew that over the past six months, Lin Feng hadn’t even seen her, and not even Ding Wan’er, the other women, or many family members had seen him, so she didn’t feel jealous or unhappy at all because she knew Lin Feng was truly busy!

Hearing Xia Lalan’s words, Lin Feng was even more moved, and immediately hugged Xia Lalan tightly, saying to her, "Once I’ve set up the Shangyuan Soul Killing Formation, I will find a time to propose."

This wasn’t Lin Feng trying to brush off Xia Lalan. If it weren’t for everything that had happened before, he should have proposed earlier. Once he was done setting up the Shangyuan Soul Killing Formation, he really would propose. He couldn’t let Xia Lalan stay with him without a proper title like this.

Upon hearing Lin Feng say this, Xia Lalan’s body suddenly stiffened, and then two drops of happy tears streamed down her face. Just those words from Lin Feng were enough for her, and she wouldn’t mind waiting for Lin Feng for a few more years.

But at that moment, she suddenly remembered her struggle with alchemy and hesitated slightly before asking Lin Feng, "Feng, I don’t know what’s going on, my alchemy is stuck, I can’t break through to Earth Grade. I thought I had accumulated enough experience, but I keep failing at the last step, do you know what’s going on?"

"Oh? Stuck at the pill formation step?" Lin Feng, hearing Xia Lalan’s question, asked in confusion.

"Yes, the process before that has no issues, it’s just the pill formation step that I can’t get past," Xia Lalan responded with absolute certainty. She had already wasted more than ten sets of materials, and those were Earth Grade elixir materials, which were very rare, making it extremely challenging to gather even one set. She couldn’t bear to waste any more.

"Alright, you try to refine it once more, and I’ll watch and give you some advice." Lin Feng responded earnestly at this moment, wanting to figure out the situation. Why didn’t he have any issues during his refining, but Xia Lalan couldn’t succeed?

Without any delay, Xia Lalan immediately started her pill refinery. It should be known that she had been concentrating almost entirely on alchemy lately, making rapid progress towards becoming an Earth Grade Alchemist. The initial process was as smooth as flowing water, but the pill condensation process was incredibly difficult, always failing to succeed.

"Boom!"

With one last oversight, a muffled sound came from inside the pill furnace, along with the smell of burning. Another batch of Spiritual Medicine was wasted...

Lin Feng didn’t rush to speak. Instead, he carefully analyzed the entire process of Xia Lalan’s pill crafting in his mind. Since he had to guide Xia Lalan in alchemy, he wasn’t just going to teach her how to make one type of elixir. He wanted Xia Lalan to grasp the proper method of crafting Earth Grade elixirs.

After mulling it over, Lin Feng still didn’t speak. In front of Xia Lalan, he lit the furnace once more. While refining the pill, he explained to Xia Lalan the relevant details about crafting Earth Grade elixirs.

"Earth Grade elixirs are different from Profound Grade ones. In the first purification step, the emphasis is more on the purity of extract; the higher the purity, the easier it is to condense the pill. But the purity you aimed for before was suitable for Profound Grade elixirs, which is clearly not up to the standard required here."

"The second step involves fusion, and there are many considerations in this area..."

"The third step is concentration; here you must be mindful of several factors..."

"The fourth step is pill condensation; there are similarly key points to pay attention to..."

...

As Lin Feng explained to Xia Lalan, he continued refining the elixir. Lin Feng was innately skilled at multitasking, so explaining while refining was no problem for him. Additionally, Lin Feng’s Divine Sense was exceptionally strong, allowing him to detect even the smallest changes promptly. In this regard, no other alchemist could match him. So, even while explaining and refining at the same time, Lin Feng’s batch of elixirs was completed smoothly.
