The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 912: The Cunning Pill Devil

"Hehe..."

Yan Cangtian grinned and slowly explained, "The Sacred Dragon Tyrant-Blood Pill was originally created to forge supreme monsters. If only those at the peak of Human Emperor could consume it, what would be the point? So, the alchemists who first refined the Sacred Dragon Tyrant-Blood Pill also developed another pill that could seal its medicinal strength within the body, gradually and subtly transforming a martial practitioner's innate talent."

"In this way, an ordinary person could become a genius, and a genius could evolve into a peerless monster!"

Yan Cangtian sighed in admiration. "Truly, this is a supreme god pill capable of defying the heavens!"

Ling Feng's eyes brightened. "Teacher, it seems you already know how to refine this support-type pill?"

"Mhmm. The records here mention the recipe and refining method for this heart-nurturing spirit pill. Though it's an eighth-tier pill, with our combined efforts and the Alchemist Guild's Six-legged Taotie Cauldron, it's worth attempting. As for the materials, they aren't excessively rare either."

Yan Cangtian spoke calmly.

Ling Feng pondered for a moment before replying, "An eighth-tier pill is extremely difficult to refine. To ensure absolute success, I know of an alchemy furnace superior to the Six-legged Taotie Cauldron."

"Oh?" Yan Cangtian's eyelids twitched before realization dawned. "You mean the Flame Valley Xuanling Cauldron in Flame Valley?"

"Mhmm." Ling Feng nodded. "If we can get Senior Pill Devil's assistance, our efforts will be twice as effective."

"Good. Since you've already had a plan, I won't interfere further."

Yan Cangtian walked to his desk, wrote down the pill formula for the heart-nurturing spirit pill, and handed it to Ling Feng. "Kid, I'll await your good news here."

Ling Feng carefully stored the pill formula, gave Yan Cangtian a firm nod, and then left the medicinal herb garden with Yue Yunlan and her maid.

"Yunlan, I still need to visit Tianmeng. Once there's good news, I'll inform you. For now, you should return and rest."

After some thought, Ling Feng decided it was best for Yue Yunlan to go back. After all, Flame Valley wasn't his territory, and bringing outsiders to disturb those two seniors repeatedly wouldn't be appropriate.

"Ling Feng, you ungrateful wretch! Now that you don't need my lady, you're just going to cast her aside?"

Qiao Qiao immediately placed her hands on her hips, glaring at Ling Feng with puffed cheeks.

"That's not what I meant, it's just..." Ling Feng's forehead darkened as he struggled to explain.

"Giggle..."

Seeing his flustered expression, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but laugh. "You fool, I was just teasing you!"

"Mr. Ling, pay no mind to this silly girl's nonsense." Yue Yunlan shot Qiao Qiao a reproachful glance before curtsying gracefully. "Then, I shall return and await your good news."

Ling Feng wiped the fine sweat from his brow, thanked Yue Yunlan again, and they soon went their separate ways.

...

Before long, Ling Feng arrived at Tianmeng. Using Feng Wuhen's token, he easily found Supreme Elder Yuanzhi.

Since Feng Wuhen was still in seclusion, attempting to break through to Human Emperor, the task of guiding Ling Feng fell to He Yuanzhi.

Upon seeing Ling Feng had already reached the Transformation Realm, He Yuanzhi's eyes gleamed with approval. However, she couldn't resist adding, "Young Hero Ling, with your foundation, you'll likely reach the peak of the Transformation Realm soon. But forgive this old woman for speaking out of turn, it's best to condense a Mark of Brilliance before advancing further."

"Thank you for the reminder, Supreme Elder Yuanzhi. This junior is already aware."

Ling Feng nodded respectfully. Ever since he had given her a Youth-Preserving Pill, she had seemingly reversed in age, now appearing no older than twenty.

No woman disliked beauty, and now that she had regained her youthful appearance, He Yuanzhi was endlessly grateful to Ling Feng. Hence, she didn't mind sharing some hard-earned wisdom.

"Good that you know."

He Yuanzhi smiled faintly. As they chatted along the way, they soon arrived at Flame Valley.

After sending Ling Feng to Flame Valley, He Yuanzhi immediately left to avoid being ruthlessly squeezed dry by those two old geezers, Pill Devil and Demon Sword.

"Seniors, this junior Ling Feng has come to pay his respects!"

As Ling Feng stepped into Flame Valley, a wave of scorching heat assaulted him.

Though it wasn't his first visit, the suffocating blaze still left him slightly uncomfortable.

"Kid, you're back again!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Soon, two figures burst out from deep within Flame Valley, one missing a hand and the other missing a leg. They were exactly "the Broken and the Battered" duo of the Pill Devil and the Demon Sword Maniac.

Pill Devil, the speaker, scrutinized Ling Feng from head to toe before nodding approvingly. "Good, very good. Your aura is restrained, your true qi transformed into elemental force. Just as I expected, your elemental energy is as profound as your true qi. Tsk tsk, your future is boundless!"

"Mhmm. Not bad."

Sword Maniac was far more sparing with words, though his eyes also held a trace of admiration.

"You flatter me, Seniors." Ling Feng clasped his hands in a fist-and-palm salute. "My sworn brother Jiang Xiaofan has been under your care all this time. I must express my gratitude."

"Heh, that Jiang Xiaofan... You've sent us quite the promising seedling. Consider this debt settled."

Pill Devil wheeled his chair closer, grinning slyly. "But you didn't come just to thank us, did you?"

Ling Feng's face reddened slightly as he chuckled awkwardly. "Senior's insight is as sharp as ever."

"Enough with the flattery." Pill Devil snorted. "Friendship is friendship, but if you want my help, the price can't be cheap!"

"Naturally..."

Ling Feng wiped the sweat from his brow. Pill Devil's temperament remained as "cunning" as ever.

"Hehe..." Pill Devil's smile returned. "Money talks, fair trade, right? So, what do you need this time?"

"To refine an eighth-tier Spirit Pill!"

Ling Feng met Pill Devil's gaze, speaking slowly and clearly, word by word.

"Eighth-tier, eh?" Pill Devil stroked his chin, feigning deep thought. "That's quite the challenge."

"If it weren't difficult, would I have come to you, Senior?" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. "In the entire imperial capital, you're the only grandmaster alchemist with a real chance of succeeding."

"Heh." Pill Devil couldn't hide his smug expression, clearly pleased by the praise. "Well, well. Since you're so sincere..."

Seeing his chance, Ling Feng immediately took out the heart-nurturing spirit pill's formula. "I'll need roughly ten heart-nurturing spirit pills refined. As compensation, I'll hand over this eighth-tier pill formula without reservation."

Pill Devil's eyelids twitched. An eighth-tier pill formula, given away just like that? This kid really didn't hold back!

"Alright, since you're being so sincere, I won't gouge you this time. I'll charge you just the cost for these herbs. No objections, right?"

"Ugh..."

Ling Feng's lips twitched. This old fox was truly the patriarch of all swindlers, even after receiving an eighth-tier pill formula, he still demanded payment for materials!

If that pill formula had been auctioned off, its value would have easily been hundreds or even thousands of times more than the cost of the materials!

When it came to cunning, none could surpass Pill Devil!
