Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1726 - 1708: Thank You for Your Hard Work
As Xia Lalan listened from the side, she constantly pondered Lin Feng’s words, simultaneously reflecting on the issues she faced in her alchemy practice. Only through this comparison did she realize where the specific problems lay. Without Lin Feng’s extremely thorough explanation and practical guidance, she wouldn’t have succeeded even if she knew the method.
Once Lin Feng successfully completed the alchemy, Xia Lalan finally came to her senses. She suddenly thought of Lin Feng’s process and exclaimed in surprise upon seeing him: "You... you were just explaining while refining the elixir, yet... you still managed to create an Earth Grade elixir?"
Earlier, she hadn’t paid much attention, but now, realizing this, her heart was truly shaken by Lin Feng. Everyone knows that during an alchemist’s elixir refining process, they absolutely cannot be distracted. Getting distracted causes the elixir refining to fail, and the higher the grade of the elixir, the less they can afford to be distracted; otherwise, it’s impossible to form the elixir!
But Lin Feng was able to chat with her about alchemy techniques while refining an Earth Grade elixir, simultaneously explaining through practice the problems to note in refining Earth Grade elixirs. This left her deeply astonished, almost speechless, as it seemed that only Lin Feng in this world could both chat and refine elixirs simultaneously—an attempt no other alchemist could succeed in trying. It made her think that Lin Feng truly stands alone; beyond Lin Feng, no one’s alchemy skills can reach such a level.
"What are you waiting for? Try it yourself once." Lin Feng smiled and said, looking at the dazed Xia Lalan.
"Oh, okay... okay!" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xia Lalan realized she was zoned out and answered awkwardly. Once she responded, she settled down immediately, mentally replaying Lin Feng’s pointers, and once fully conceived, she began refining elixirs again.
This time, each step in the refining process improved under Lin Feng’s guidance, striving to follow the methods Lin Feng taught as closely as possible. Coupled with Xia Lalan’s personal insights into alchemy, it can be said that this alchemy session allowed Xia Lalan to finally touch the soul of Earth Grade elixirs.
This situation made Xia Lalan increasingly excited, gradually forgetting everything else. But despite being in this state, suddenly the Pill Furnace seemed out of control, accompanied by a pff sound and the scent of scorching—this batch of elixirs failed after all.
"Forget it, don’t refine today. Your mood is unstable, so you can’t fully concentrate on refining," Lin Feng saw this situation and advised Xia Lalan to give up refining for today, knowing that without a good mindset, it’s impossible to refine elixirs.
"Yes, I won’t refine today," Xia Lalan nodded, realizing as well that today wasn’t suitable for alchemy. Yet she didn’t feel disheartened, turning to Lin Feng, saying: "Although I didn’t refine an Earth Grade elixir, today’s gains in alchemy are very good. I estimate I’ll be able to refine Earth Grade elixirs myself soon."
She was in great spirits, a charming smile on her face, and seeing Xia Lalan like this, Lin Feng’s mood improved significantly too. Taking Xia Lalan’s hand, they flew into the sky in a blink, stepping towards the southeast, appearing atop a high mountain.
Standing at the end of a giant rock on the mountaintop, the two gazed at the magnificent scene below. Lin Feng gently hugged Xia Lalan, and without speaking, they quietly stood together, savoring the rare tranquility of the moment.
Leaning against Lin Feng’s chest, Xia Lalan’s face persisted with a blissful smile, her mind blank, simply absorbing Lin Feng’s warmth, inhaling Lin Feng’s scent...
Before long, dusk arrived, and Lin Feng escorted Xia Lalan back, then went to see his parents and the ladies’ kin, happily sharing a meal with everyone, and finally returned to Ding Wan’er’s room in the Wendao Pavilion after dark.
After half a year apart, absence makes the heart grow fonder...
Following a stormy night, Ding Wan’er lay in Lin Feng’s arms, her face filled with happiness. She knew Lin Feng was terribly busy, arranging a super formation to cover the entire Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm—such an unimaginable task, yet Lin Feng could accomplish it. As Lin Feng’s woman, she could never hold him back.
"Wind, go see the other sisters..." without looking at him, Ding Wan’er softly said, knowing she’d been favored, while other sisters had been alone for half a year, she wanted to consider them.
"Not today, just want to be with you," Lin Feng shook his head at this moment. He didn’t want to go through that hassle today.
"Is something on your mind?" Ding Wan’er asked, noticing Lin Feng seemed preoccupied, puzzled.
"No, just a lot on my mind with setting up the formations lately," Lin Feng smiled bitterly; really, what could be on his mind, except the intensely challenging task of the formation layout—typically a long-term project of decades, but he didn’t have that luxury; not knowing when a Human Immortal battle might occur meant he had to complete the Shangyuan Soul Killing Formation as quickly as possible to guard against the unexpected.
Every day, his brain worked at an extraordinarily terrifying efficiency, allowing him to endure where others would’ve lost their minds. Yet even so, he hadn’t taken a break; if Xia Lalan hadn’t called, he might have forgotten about taking rest altogether.
"Take a rest. You must be exhausted," Ding Wan’er said with heartache, understanding exactly why Lin Feng exerted himself, but unable to replace his efforts, acknowledging his hardship was unavoidable.
Lin Feng didn’t say much, embracing Ding Wan’er’s ****** form and closing his eyes, soon sinking into steady sleep...
After an indeterminate time, Lin Feng suddenly awoke, only to find Ding Wan’er no longer there. Dressing, he walked to the window, gazing at the scene outside. A smile tugged at his lips, his mood instantly improving.
Downstairs, seeing all the ladies waiting, his face blossomed with a knowing smile. Heading towards them, he joyfully shared a meal with everyone and took them out for a fun day afterward.
On this day, Lin Feng completely relaxed, spending the time leisurely with the ladies, later even calling Xia Lalan and Moyan to join. Everyone was thoroughly happy; after visiting mountains and waters, they had a picnic, with each woman showcasing her skill and crafting a proper dish.
Sitting in a circle, they chatted, laughed, and drank merrily, at times whispering secrets among themselves, bringing peals of laughter like tinkling bells.
All of this made Lin Feng feel truly comfortable, as life should be like this. In a blink, night fell, and though still unfinished, they lit a bonfire to continue the merriment. Only by midnight did the gathering end. Lin Feng headed to check the sect, sending the ladies back to the Wendao Pavilion.
After the ladies returned to Wendao Pavilion, a few girls went back to their rooms, the senior sister glanced and ran away too, Moyan and Xia Lalan naturally also excused themselves, except for Ding Wan’er pulling Su Xiaoxi, Qian Duoduo, Leng Mei together, leaving these three women stunned, not knowing what Ding Wan’er intended.
Yet when Ding Wan’er whispered a few words to the four, the three women showed shy blushes, their faces even flushed akin to water...
Lin Feng returned to the sect side, meeting Xia Yuntian briefly. After some conversation, Lin Feng learned everything on the sect side was progressing well, and felt relieved considerably, quickly briefed Xia Yuntian about what to watch out for in future development before he returned to the Wendao Pavilion’s abode.
Heading straight to Ding Wan’er’s room, but unexpected for him, upon entering, Ding Wan’er covered his eyes, the room enveloped in darkness, then Ding Wan’er personally helped Lin Feng change clothes, leaving Lin Feng feeling quite peculiar, confused about Ding Wan’er’s intentions.
When Ding Wan’er pulled him onto the bed through the darkness, he finally understood the situation, because there were three people on the bed, plus Ding Wan’er making four...
After a night, Lin Feng got up early to cook breakfast for the ladies. After everyone ate breakfast together, Lin Feng disappeared again to continue setting up the Shangyuan Soul Killing Formation. The ladies knew Lin Feng was busy, accustomed to his repeated absences, so without saying much, they each went off to cultivate.
Time flew by, days and nights alternated, half a year passed in a flash.
Throughout the half-year period, everything went smoothly, no other incidents occurred. The only cause for celebration was Ding Wan’er among the ladies unexpectedly reaching Half-Step Human Immortal Realm, while the others reached the late stage of Divine Change Realm. Cold Hao and Meng Zhu both breakthrough to Human Immortal Realm, which made everyone greatly joyful!
Old Monster, Nangong He, and several others who initially followed Lin Feng were in retreat during this time, with the Holy Wind Sect’s Alchemy Hall’s care, their strength improved rapidly, Old Monster successfully broke through to the early Human Immortal Realm while others still strive towards it.
As for Holy Wind Sect itself, it was thriving internally; every promise Lin Feng made during the founding ceremony was completely fulfilled. Human Immortal Realm Powerhouse’s teachings left countless people engrossed, the sect’s treasury containing numerous Dharma Treasures, Elixirs, Cultivation Techniques, etc., left many envious, driving everyone to undertake tasks aggressively to accumulate contribution points to exchange for the things they desired to enhance their strength.
The Elders Pavilion had also begun to take shape over a year’s time, with Outer Pavilion Elder assisting Xia Yuntian in managing sect affairs while Inner Pavilion Elder focused on enhancing strength and addressing potential awakening powerhouses or special issues appearing later. A three-person addition to Inner Pavilion Elder within the year, with everything running smoothly.
