Chapter 4 Yellow Rank Advanced In a dark secret room, the walls of the room are covered with traces of time. The mottled stone walls seem to be engraved with unknown runes and totems, which emit a faint fluorescence. The air was filled with a strange aroma, like the smell of grass and trees in an ancient forest, and it seemed to be mixed with the smell of metal and ore. This smell was fascinating, as if one could travel through time and touch the ancient mystery. This was the secret room that Lin Feng had spent a lot of money to build in order to prevent the fluctuations when the pill was formed. It was said that it could block the energy fluctuations when the fourth-grade pill was formed. In the center of the secret room, there is an ancient stone platform. In the corners around it, there are some strange objects, some of which are flashing with dim light, and some of which are emitting a faint fragrance. At this time, a young man in a green shirt was sitting cross-legged on it, his eyes filled with burning light. It was time to see the treasure. The first thing he opened was the piece of black iron that gave Lin Feng a strange feeling in his soul. He held it in his hand and observed it carefully, and occasionally there was a tremor in his soul. Combining Lin Feng's many years of experience in opening treasures, "bang..." A wisp of blue-red flame rose in his hand - the beast fire taken from the fourth-level magic beast Qingyi Fiery Beast. "According to past experience, we can get the engraved information on the black iron sheet by simply using flames to melt it. Let's start. Let me see what you are made of." Lin Feng's heart was full of anticipation. "Zizizizi..." The flames continued to burn, and Lin Feng stared at the black iron sheet, not daring to slack off. After about a quarter of an hour, the black iron sheet gradually melted under the blazing flames, until finally, only a ball of crystal liquid light was left floating in the air. "Swoosh..." Suddenly, the ball of light shot into Lin Feng's brow. "The Yellow-level advanced soul-forging technique - the Millstone Soul-Forging Technique. Visualize a millstone in your soul, and after it takes shape, invest soul power. With each rotation, the soul power becomes purer and stronger, and can even absorb the spiritual energy in the dark, laying a solid foundation for breaking through the soul realm. It can be said that as long as the soul power is sufficient, you can break through to the spiritual realm without bottlenecks. The disadvantage is that the process of tempering will produce great pain as time goes on, so you have to stop practicing, otherwise this technique should be classified as a Mystical-level technique." “Hahaha, with this soul-forging technique, plus my powerful soul talent that comes with time travel and rebirth, I will definitely go further and further on the path of a pharmacist. With this, I can obtain more cultivation resources, and maybe even keep up with the cultivation speed of that cheater Xiao Yan. Hahaha…” Lin Feng’s face was filled with ecstasy, his eyes were shining, and his laughter echoed in the secret room. "Huh..." After a while, Lin Feng let out a breath, "I still can't hide my emotions. It seems that I still can't cultivate well!" It's no wonder. Although he has been honing his skills alone in this world for more than ten years, who can control himself in the face of such a huge surprise? Being able to recover immediately is also a sign of a calm state of mind.
Then, he took out many rare items bought from the market and studied them for a long time. He really found another wood-attributed treasure - Suzuki Heart. He found it in a huge Suzuki, which has the effect of calming the mind and slightly speeding up the operation of the exercises. Suzuki - a unique tree found in the Tagor Desert. This tree grows horizontally and looks like a dead tree. It has no leaves, so it is difficult to tell whether it is alive or not. This tree grows one meter per year, and after a hundred years, a wood-attributed natural treasure called Suzuki Heart will form inside the tree. "Such a big Suzuki Heart. Maybe this tree has been growing for nearly a thousand years. It is enough for Qinglin and I to use, and there will be a huge surplus. We really make a profit this time. Maybe the vendor didn't know the goods. After all, this tree grows deep in the desert, very close to the snakeman tribe. I wouldn't be able to recognize it if I hadn't relied on the alchemist's relics." Lin Feng once again gave a thumbs up to the nameless alchemist predecessor in his heart. After sorting out the things he bought, Lin Feng stood up and stretched himself lazily. "Well, my mood is fluctuating drastically. It's not suitable for cultivation anymore. Let's go out for a walk!" ...the dividing line of evil... Walking in the Red Fire Mercenary Group's base, the mercenaries he met along the way all greeted Lin Feng enthusiastically. Lin Feng also nodded in response, and when he met a few flatterers, he would reward them with a few first-grade healing pills. The flattering mercenaries nodded and bowed, saying things like "water of respect" all the time. "Ah, it's another ordinary day. The life of a pharmacist is so boring." I'm really impressed by this guy. Speaking of the Scarlet Fire Mercenary Group, Lin Feng's parents worked there at the time, and later died in the line of duty. They also raised Lin Feng, but he did not play by the rules, and he quietly became an alchemist. Of course, the role that the Red Fire Mercenary Group played in protecting Lin Feng when he was weak is undeniable. Lin Feng also knows how to be grateful, as can be seen from the fact that the Red Fire Mercenary Group ranks second among the major forces in Shimo City. Ranking of forces in Shimo City: First, the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord was assigned by the Jiama Empire to be stationed here. It is said that he is very powerful. No one has ever seen him take action, but Lin Feng sensed through his amazing soul power that he is a six-star Douling strongman. This is not surprising, after all, it is a border, and if the City Lord is not strong enough, there is a risk of being suppressed by subordinate forces. The second is the Scarlet Fire Mercenary Group, whose leader is a five-star Grand Fighter, and who also has many powerful Fighters and many high-star fighters. It was Lin Feng's contribution to the mercenary group after he became an alchemist that led to the rapid development of Scarlet Fire. The third one is from the original novel, the Sand Mercenary Group, whose leader Rob has just been promoted to a one-star Grand Master. Hehe, don't ask him how he knows. At that time, in order to promote steadily, Rob bought several pills from him at a high price, which were good for cultivating and stabilizing the mind. At that time, Lin Feng made a lot of money from him. Until now, he still vaguely remembered the pained look on his face. After that are the second-rate mercenary groups like Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's Mo Tie Mercenary Group. Although they have great potential, they are not taken seriously by the big forces unless they are masters of the Grand Fighter class. After entering a courtyard, Lin Feng heard a hearty laugh. "Hahaha, nephew Lin Feng, what brings you here?" A tall, muscular man in yellow clothes came towards him. That's right, this is the leader of the Chihuo Mercenary Group - Chihuo. "Uncle Chihuo, please don't say that. I have to thank you for your protection over the years, otherwise I would not be as successful as I am now." Lin Feng and Chihuo flattered each other for a while, and then Lin Feng got to the point. "Uncle Chihuo, my alchemy skills have reached a bottleneck. I plan to leave Shimo City in a while and go to other places in the empire to gain experience and improve my alchemy skills. I also plan to see some strange people and things, and various exotic customs and scenery." "I came here to tell you something." Then, Lin Feng's finger rubbed the ring, a flash of light appeared, and a row of jade bottles appeared on the table. "These are some pills that promote cultivation and healing pills for detoxification. I don't know when I will be back after leaving this time. I hope that the next time I see Uncle Chihuo, you will have become a Douling master." (End of this chapter)
