When You're Rich in the Mountains, Distant Relatives Come Calling
"Certainly."
"Master, can the elixir heal my father's injuries?"
Lin Dong seemed to be deep in thought, glancing at his father, Lin Xiao.
In the original storyline, Xiaotian was exceptionally intelligent and powerful, a rare genius in decades for the Qingyang Town branch of the Lin Clan, and the most beloved son of his father Lin Zhentian. He was crippled by Lin Langtian in the Lin Family's grand martial arts competition, but later fully recovered with the help of his son Lin Dong, and his strength increased significantly. He later became the Clan Chief of the Lin Clan due to Lin Dong's achievements.
Lin Dong's recent motivation comes from participating in the Clan Competition, achieving a top-three finish, and obtaining a medicinal herb that can heal Lin Xiao's injuries.
"Of course," Ye Feng said.
"Master, please save my father," Lin Dong pleaded.
"Didn't you just want to become an alchemist?" Ye Feng asked.
"Master, are you willing to teach me the art of alchemy?" A light shone in Lin Dong's eyes.
"You have already obtained the Bone Chilling Flame, and I have observed that your soul perception has reached the standard to become an alchemist. It would be a great pity if you did not become an alchemist."
"Master, please teach me the art of alchemy."
"Okay, I'll pass it on to you."
Ye Feng was always willing to grant requests. He stretched out his hand and pointed towards Lin Dong's brow. The Pill Recipe all pills below level seven were transmitted into Lin Dong's mind.
"Wow!"
Lin Dong exclaimed in surprise.
"Dong'er, what's wrong?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.
"My master taught me many methods for refining pills. There are strength Great Strength Pill that can increase strength, Three-Patterned Pure Spirit Pill that can boost cultivation by three levels in one go, and Heaven Soul Blood Fusion Pill that can regenerate flesh after physical death. There are even Transformation Pill that can make beasts transform. So many amazing pills."
"Then... are there any pills that can heal my injuries?"
"Yes. Not only do we have pills to treat Father's injuries, but we also have soul-type pills that can restore Father's energy and spirit to their former strength."
"Disciple."
Ye Feng interrupted Lin Xiao and Lin Dong's conversation and said, "Come with me to that cave. When you're refining medicine, remember not to be disturbed."
"Okay," Lin Dong replied.
After collecting all the medicinal herbs, Lin Dong sneaked into the cave where he often cultivated.
Lin Xiao couldn't wait to escape from the red medicine cauldron that was about half a meter tall in the Storage Ring that Ye Feng had given him.
The medicine cauldron was a dark red color, with faint glimmers of light. Below it, six ferocious snake heads were carved, their wide-open mouths forming six interconnected fire-venting holes. These holes curved and flowed inwards, their diameter decreasing as one went deeper. They seemed to hold hidden secrets.
This is just a medicine cauldron with six snake mouths.
Ye Feng told Lin Dong that medicine cauldrons also have different levels. The more openings a cauldron has, the higher its level. These six medicine cauldrons are only sixth-grade. They're not high-level, but they're fine for Lin Dong to practice with.
A good medicine cauldron is as important to an alchemist as a sword is to a warrior.
Following Ye Feng's instructions, Lin Dong first familiarized himself with the medicine cauldron. He placed his hand on the opening and then circulated his internal energy into it.
After familiarizing himself with the medicine cauldron, Lin Dong flipped his hand and summoned the Heavenly Flames Bone Chilling Flame. He then controlled the flame to further familiarize himself with the cauldron's structure.
"Blood-Coagulating Powder, one Blood-Coagulating Herb, one Vitality Fruit, two poppy flowers..."
Lin Dong recalled the Pill Recipe Ye Feng had given him. After a moment, he began refining the pills. First, he used Heavenly Flames to temper the medicinal herbs, refining them into liquid droplets. Then, he fused them into the pill formula.
Lin Family
Ye Feng first altered the surrounding terrain, creating a luxurious compound with strong defensive capabilities for Lin Qingtan's home. Then, he used the Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus to create a large artificial lake. Finally, he taught Lin Dong the Bone Chilling Flame and alchemy.
These actions attracted the attention of all the families in Qingyang Town, especially the Lin Family.
"Young Master Ye, Grandpa is here again."
"Is it about relocating the family again?"
"Yes." Lin Qingtan nodded.
The luxurious courtyard that Ye Feng built for Lin Qingtan's home not only has strong defensive capabilities, but also has the effect of gathering the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence).
Of all the residences in Qingyang Town, the Lin Family's mansion possessed the most abundant spiritual energy, ten times stronger than that of the outside world.
Ten times, what does that mean?
The Heaven and Earth Essence within the Lin Family compound is ten times denser than outside, meaning that cultivation here is also ten times faster. What others achieve in ten years of arduous cultivation can be accomplished here in just one year.
"Xiao'er, it's settled then. We'll move here tomorrow."
"Yes, Father. There are enough rooms here, please stay."
"Xiao'er, aren't you going to introduce me to that young man?"
"Father, you should know that the stronger someone is, the more eccentric their temper becomes. He always says that he gave our Lin Family so many benefits out of gratitude. To avoid upsetting him, I think it's best not to do so."
"Alright. Our Qingyang Town has already been in an uproar. Other families are eager to seize your residence, so we need to strengthen the security around it."
"Father, it's not just them, even people in Flame City are tempted. But don't worry, Father. Young Master Young Master Ye said that the protective barrier of the mansion is so strong that even a Nirvana Realm expert can't do anything about it. Also, the Chaos God Light on the steps has the effect of autonomously reflecting all attacks. Even if others want to seize our mansion, they may not be able to succeed."
Ye Feng was sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, and could hear the conversation between Lin Xiao's father and him in the hall.
"Young Master Ye, where is Brother Lin Dong?" Lin Qingtan asked.
"Are they refining elixirs inside the cave?" Ye Feng replied.
"Young Master Ye, you have the ability to not give Father the medicine to treat his injuries, but instead let Brother Lin Dong refine the medicine for Father himself. Is this to motivate him?"
"Your father's injuries aren't serious. Some low-grade pills can heal him. You don't need to bother with those low-grade pills," Ye Feng said disdainfully.
After all, he's Chaos God now. If the alchemists of the Doupo Plane heard him refining pills below the fifth rank, they'd probably laugh at Ye Feng behind his back.
"Young Master Ye, let's go watch Brother Lin Dong refine pills. I wonder if his alchemy skills have improved recently," Lin Qingtan suggested.
"Okay." Ye Feng nodded.
Ye Feng waved his hand, teleporting through space. He instantly arrived from the Lin Family Courtyard to the cave where Lin Dong was refining pills.
Inside the pill refiner, Lin Dong was nearing completion. Upon noticing Ye Feng and Lin Qingtan's arrival, Lin Dong quickly stored the finished powder into his Storage Ring.
"Hmm... this fragrance is... Aphrodisiac Powder," Ye Feng said.
