After Lin Feng finished speaking, Tang Zhen followed up and said, "Little friend, although this old man holds the title of Valley Chief, the affairs of the valley are not for me alone to decide.
How about this, if you refine a high-grade seventh-tier pill for me, I will allow you to choose one High-Grade Earth Class cultivation technique or Dou Technique from Burning Flame Valley, what do you think?"
Hearing his words, Lin Feng frowned.
Tang Zhen, as a peak Five-Star Dou Zun powerhouse, with Burning Flame Valley's only Dou Sheng backing him, held an extraordinary status.
And those elders of the valley, their strength wasn't so overwhelming that they could oppose him without consequence, so how could they dare go against his decision. His actions were clearly an attempt to brush Lin Feng off.
"According to the original timeline, there's still more than a year before his daughter's life runs out, so of course he's not in a rush."
Looking at the not-so-urgent Tang Zhen, Lin Feng sighed inwardly.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth, "If Valley Chief Tang is willing to let me study the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change once, I am not only willing to refine a pill for you, but I'll also add on a two-colored eighth-tier pill.
Moreover, I guarantee I won't reveal a single word of the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change learned from your valley, would that be acceptable?"
At this, Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes beside him couldn't help but flash with a trace of heartache. After all, such precious pills were their hard-earned belongings.
Right now, their group didn't even have the capability to refine eighth-tier pills. The few eighth-tier pills they possessed had all been taken from other Dou Zun powerhouses.
But now that they had arrived in the Central Region, where forces were intertwined and complicated, they could no longer act like they did in the Western Wasteland Desert, killing Dou Zuns as they pleased.
Because who could know what kind of formidable backing a slain Dou Zun might have. These eighth-tier pills, once spent, meant one less in their stock.
Hearing Lin Feng's condition, Tang Zhen's eyes flickered with temptation. After his daughter's incident, he had already gone to the Pill Tower, trying to invite a high-grade seventh-tier alchemist to refine a Fire Bodhisattva Pill.
But such alchemists had either already joined major powers or belonged to certain families. The price to bring them over was simply too high.
Most of them, like this young alchemist Lin Feng, had their eyes on Burning Flame Valley's Skyfire Three Mysterious Change.
After all, alchemists of that level were never short of beast flames. If they obtained the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change, they could quickly gather three types of Rank 8 beast flames.
When encountering danger, this would allow their strength to increase rapidly. That was why Tang Zhen had never been able to make up his mind to invite them to refine pills.
At this moment, Lin Feng also felt a little nervous. If this didn't work, then he would have to add even more pills. And he was already planning to go to the Ye Clan later, using whatever remaining connections they had to search for more Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.
Similarly, to exchange for Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva also required a great number of eighth-tier pills. If he spent too many pills here, then later, he might not have enough left.
"Fine, this old man agrees. If little friend agrees to refine a high-grade seventh-tier pill for me, I'll allow you to enjoy the privileges of a core disciple. If you can pass the assessment, you may enter the Dou Technique Pavilion and accept one inheritance. After completing the inheritance, you will then provide me with an additional two-colored eighth-tier pill."
"Of course, if little friend unfortunately fails the assessment, you may still choose one High-Grade Earth Class cultivation technique or Dou Technique from my Burning Flame Valley's Dou Technique Pavilion."
Tang Zhen pondered for a long while before finally speaking slowly.
Hearing his words, Xiao Yixian and Tian Huo Zun Zhe immediately frowned. Although the other party agreed to Lin Feng's terms, the way he phrased it clearly showed his intentions.
It was obvious he planned to manipulate that so-called assessment so Lin Feng wouldn't be able to pass, and then he could simply back out.
"Alright, since Valley Chief Tang has said so, then let it be settled."
Lin Feng's brow furrowed slightly, then relaxed as he replied calmly.
In his heart, he had naturally guessed Tang Zhen's thoughts. However, he had full confidence in himself. Unless Tang Zhen completely threw away his face and personally stepped in to fight him, Lin Feng was certain he could pass this so-called assessment.
"Hmph, arrogant fool. Maybe your alchemy skills aren't bad, but when it comes to battle, do you really think the countless Dou Techniques inherited by my Burning Flame Valley are useless decorations?"
Seeing his extreme confidence, the woman beside Tang Zhen coldly snorted in her heart, filled with disdain. Her naturally competitive disposition made her unwilling to accept anyone better than her.
So, when facing Lin Feng, this genius even more outstanding than herself, her heart burned with defiance. Thus, her attitude toward him was naturally far from pleasant.
As for Tang Zhen, when he saw Lin Feng's confident expression, his brow also unconsciously furrowed. But since the words were already spoken, he couldn't go back on them. Therefore, all he could do was increase the difficulty of the assessment.
Lin Feng, seeing that the other party had no objections, spoke again, "However, I'm sure Valley Chief Tang knows the rules of alchemists.
If I already possess the formula for the pill, then you only need to provide the ingredients. But if it's a more uncommon pill, then you must provide the formula yourself. I wonder, Valley Chief Tang, what pill do you wish me to refine?"
"Hehe, this old man naturally knows that."
Saying this, Tang Zhen lightly rubbed his storage ring, taking out an ancient, faintly red scroll.
Tang Zhen then helplessly caressed the formula in his hand. He knew that after today, this high-grade pill formula he had spent much effort to acquire would no longer belong to him.
But faced with such alchemist rules, even as the Valley Chief of Burning Flame Valley, there was nothing he could do. So, after his moment of heartache, he gently flicked his finger, sending it shooting toward Lin Feng.
At the same time, he explained, "The pill I require is somewhat rare, named Fire Bodhisattva Pill, classified as a high-grade seventh-tier pill. Since this pill is of great importance to me, I'll need little friend to put in some extra effort."
"Hehe, naturally."
Lin Feng reached out and caught the flying scroll, then replied with a faint smile.
A high-grade seventh-tier pill formula like the Fire Bodhisattva Pill was quite valuable indeed. Although he had paid a heavy price this time, gaining an additional formula on top of it wasn't exactly a loss.
Previously, in the storage ring of Lue Feng Zun Zhe, he had found a formula like the Fire Bodhisattva Pill.
Most likely, that six-colored eighth-tier alchemist who possessed the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame had prepared it before absorbing the Heavenly Flame, so that he could use it to save his life if the attempt failed.
But since he could get a high-grade seventh-tier pill formula for free now, Lin Feng certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to bring that up.
