On the other side of the plaza stood a slightly elevated platform.
Though its height did not match the towering stage in the center, it was positioned perfectly to overlook the entire square, offering an excellent view.
At this moment, numerous figures stood upon the platform, hands clasped behind their backs, each exuding no weak presence. Even the weakest among them had already reached the level of Six-Star Dou Zong.
Looking closely, Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er were also among them. Clearly, these were all members of Burning Flame Valley's management.
As for Lin Feng, he was seated cross-legged atop the tallest stone stage. Not far in front of him rested a massive, heavy crimson metal cauldron.
When Tang Zhen caught sight of this crimson cauldron, he was slightly surprised and said, "I did not expect Lin Feng to be so fortunate, to actually possess the Ten-Thousand Beasts Cauldron from the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking."
For an alchemist, every cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking was no less valuable than a Heavenly Flame.
Even as one of the Three Valleys, Burning Flame Valley had only managed to obtain a single such cauldron over the span of more than a thousand years.
At this time, Lin Feng on the stone stage clenched his hand, and a cyan flame emerged. Instantly, the surrounding temperature soared.
Meanwhile, as the cyan flame surged upward, it occasionally formed the shape of a lotus flower. From afar, it looked rather mystical.
Because Tang Zhen also possessed a Heavenly Flame, Lin Feng knew that concealing his own flame was impossible. Thus, he simply revealed it openly.
However, what he displayed was only the Green Lotus Core Flame. After all, with the Green Lotus Core Flame as cover, ordinary people would find it hard to notice that he harbored other Heavenly Flames within him.
At the same time, he was not foolish enough to display the newly fused flame created from merging multiple Heavenly Flames.
If Burning Flame Valley were to spread such news, certain ambitious individuals would immediately sense something was wrong and set their eyes on him.
After summoning the flame, Lin Feng's sleeve flicked.
A dense cluster of medicinal ingredients immediately poured out from his storage ring, then floated and circled above the stone stage. Judging by their number, there were at least a hundred types.
As these herbs appeared, a rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air. Naturally, these ingredients were not ones Lin Feng had personally gathered but had been provided earlier by Burning Flame Valley.
After producing the herbs, Lin Feng flicked his finger. The cyan flame darted forward, instantly burrowing into the Ten-Thousand Beasts Cauldron.
With a muffled boom, it transformed into a raging inferno.
Immediately after, Lin Feng waved his palm again, directing dozens of herbs into the crimson cauldron. The cyan flames inside surged upward at once, wrapping around and roasting the ingredients.
"Its color leans toward cyan, and when it burns, it occasionally forms the shape of a lotus flower… It seems the flame Lin Feng possesses is the nineteenth-ranked Green Lotus Core Flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking."
Gazing at the fierce cyan flames blazing within the crimson cauldron, Tang Zhen stroked his beard, eyes narrowing slightly as he spoke. That Lin Feng possessed a Heavenly Flame—Tang Zhen had long suspected.
But which one it was, he had not been certain. Now, seeing Lin Feng use his flame, the answer was confirmed.
"No wonder Lin Feng was so intent on obtaining the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change. Turns out he already has a Heavenly Flame himself."
Hearing her father's words, Tang Huo'er's expression flickered with a trace of unnaturalness, then she gave a light huff.
After all, the reason they were attempting to refine the Fire Bodhisattva Pill was because he had failed to subdue a Heavenly Flame.
But this alchemist named Lin Feng had already succeeded in subduing one, and he wielded it with such practiced ease.
As for the other Burning Flame Valley elders standing behind Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er, when they saw the Green Lotus Core Flame, their eyes also flashed with envy.
After all, most of Burning Flame Valley's cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques were fire-attributed.
Especially the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change—having a Heavenly Flame versus not having one was a difference as vast as heaven and earth. Thus, their desire for a Heavenly Flame was no less than that of alchemists.
But when they glanced at the distant sky where Xiao Yixian and Tian Huo Zun Zhe were hovering, most of them could only shake their heads helplessly.
With those two Dou Zun experts present, even their Valley Chief could not contend, let alone them.
On the distant stone platform, the cyan flame blazed fiercely within the cauldron. The scorching heat caused the space around the stage to ripple and distort faintly.
Countless medicinal ingredients hovered above the stone platform, occasionally swept down into the cauldron with a wave of Lin Feng's hand.
They were then instantly engulfed by the surging cyan flames. As the number of herbs suspended in midair gradually diminished, time slipped quickly by.
In the blink of an eye, the third day had arrived.
At the same time, the refinement of the Fire Bodhisattva Pill had reached its final stage. Inside the cauldron, eight clumps of pure medicinal liquid floated in suspension.
A rich medicinal fragrance continuously spread from them. This was the result of nearly a hundred different herbs fused into liquid form.
What Lin Feng needed to do now was merge them all together, to form the embryo of the Fire Bodhisattva Pill.
For Lin Feng, whose alchemy was already at the peak of seventh-tier, this was not especially difficult. But to be safe, he still focused his mind entirely, carefully guiding the eight clumps of liquid to slowly merge.
As these liquids touched, ripples of energy shimmered across their surfaces. Lin Feng, however, remained calm and composed as he responded.
At this moment, his soul power had transformed into countless fine threads, filling every inch of space within each clump of liquid. This way, even the slightest change would be sensed instantly by him.
"Clang!"
After several hours, a vicious ripple of energy suddenly slammed against the inner wall of the Ten-Thousand Beasts Cauldron.
At the same time, the medicinal liquids inside had already fused into one, becoming a head-sized mass of multicolored liquid.
Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately increased the temperature of the Green Lotus Core Flame, roasting the liquid. Under the scorching fire, an irregular solid slowly began to take shape within the crimson cauldron.
As the first rays of morning light spilled silently across the horizon, dispelling the valley's pitch-black night, the vast Burning Flame Valley suddenly stirred with a violent fluctuation of heaven and earth energy.
A dense pill fragrance gently drifted out from the crimson cauldron.
"Boom!"
High above the sky, a mass of dark clouds suddenly surged into existence without warning. Within the clouds, thunder rumbled, silver serpents of lightning slithering in all directions, exuding terrifying might.
"He succeeded!"
Upon seeing this scene, Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er, who had been waiting for days, both had sparks of excitement flash through their eyes.
At this moment, thick black clouds gathered above the valley. The faint morning light that had just broken over the horizon was instantly swallowed.
In that instant, the entire valley was cast into gloom.
Only when bolts of silver lightning tore through the clouds could the valley below be illuminated.
