”This is... a Body Transformation Pill?”

Staring at the emerald-green pill in his hand, Lin Feng repeatedly compared it with the descriptions on the pill recipe, before finally muttering with some uncertainty.

This pill, though not as high-tier as the Life Devouring Pill, was far superior in terms of effectiveness and popularity.

Although the Life Devouring Pill could help one directly ascend to the Dou Wang realm upon consumption, this shortcut wasn’t appreciated by powerful factions.

In those powerful factions that had Dou Zun-level experts, as long as the younger generation didn’t have flawed talent, they would never let their offspring use such a pill.

After all, advancing from Dou Zong to Dou Zun was already a tremendous challenge. If they consumed pills that drained their innate potential, those younger clansmen might find themselves forever stuck at the Dou Zong level.

And in that case... the entire clan could risk annihilation at the hands of their enemies.

So rather than chasing rapid increases in Dou Qi levels, these factions placed more importance on the foundation of cultivation.

Because if your clan didn’t have a single Dou Zun, even if you had another Dou Zong, it would only delay the Dou Zun opponent by a mere second.

Of course, if a faction possessed the recipe for the Life Devouring Pill and happened to have a peak seventh-tier alchemist, then they could produce a few more pills to feed to collateral family members.

Afterward, by investing a bit more resources, they could push them to the Dou Zong realm.

These individuals could then be dispatched to oversee certain family industries and territories overall, not a bad plan.

Still, due to the Life Devouring Pill’s many flaws, while its tier was technically higher than the Body Transformation Pill, its overall value fell short.

After all, for magic beast clans, the Body Transformation Pill was a miraculous pill for nurturing their descendants.

This pill could allow the younger generation of magic beast clans to retain their inherently long lifespans while simultaneously acquiring human cultivation talent.

So long as they didn’t die prematurely, they could rely on time alone to reach astonishing heights.

For this reason, it was highly coveted not only by the ancient beast races but also by countless other beast clans.

After all, they didn’t have the deep heritage passed down from ancient times. If they wanted to strengthen their tribes, they could only rely on pills and natural treasures.

”I hope this pill brings me some pleasant surprises during the trading event in just over a month…”

Lin Feng gently rubbed the Body Transformation Pill between his fingers, murmuring softly before placing it back into its jade bottle. After carving the pill’s name onto the bottle with Dou Qi, he stored it in his storage ring.

With that done, he pulled out another new jade bottle and began examining the next pill inside.

There was no denying that the possessions of a peak-tier seventh-grade alchemist were incredibly abundant.

It took Lin Feng three whole days of rummaging and sorting before he finally finished cataloging all of Dan Yitian’s remaining stock.

But those few days brought him massive gains!

Among Dan Yitian’s leftover treasures, Lin Feng found a total of forty seventh-tier pills.

Excluding fifteen pills he couldn’t clearly identify, the other twenty-five known pills instantly enriched his inventory.

Among them were several extremely valuable pills that even Dou Zong experts would desperately crave—Origin Ascension Pills!

These pills were ranked as high seventh-tier, and their effect was astonishing: they could instantly raise the star level of any Dou Zong below Six Stars by one.

Even for Six-Star and above Dou Zongs, there was still a chance to rise by one star, though the higher the star level, the lower the probability.

However, these pills were ultimately only seventh-tier and provided zero benefit for breaking through to the Dou Zun realm.

What’s more, Origin Ascension Pills could only be consumed once during the Dou Zong stage. If they failed the first time, consuming another would be completely ineffective.

”With all these pills at my disposal… I refuse to believe I can’t outcompete the others! That Rank 8 Beast Flame—I swear it will be mine!”

After exploring Dan Yitian’s wealth, Lin Feng clenched his fists, his tone brimming with confidence.

Along with the excitement, however, came a tinge of regret in his heart.

If he had known earlier that Dan Yitian’s legacy contained such powerful pills, he would have sorted through it back in the Black-Corner Region.

Unfortunately, at that time, his attention had been completely occupied by other matters, and he hadn’t even considered it.

…

While Lin Feng was busy organizing items, a thousand li away from Tianbei City, an air of solemnity hung over Qi Feng Mountain.

Qi Feng Mountain was quite well-known throughout the Northern Region of Central Plains.

This mountain was the stronghold of the North Pavilion of the Wind Lightning Pavilion.

Its peaks were extremely steep and perilous, shrouded all year round in a thick mist.

With the mist swirling around, the entire area gave off the air of an immortal realm.

Yet at the very summit of Qi Feng Mountain, the terrain was unusually flat—almost as if cleaved by a giant axe.

Atop this plateau, numerous buildings were hidden amidst lush greenery, faintly visible among the trees.

Of course, the most eye-catching structure on this flattened mountaintop was none other than the massive silver tower.

This towering structure reaching into the clouds was called the North Lightning Tower.

Its entire body shimmered with radiant silver light, and if one listened closely, they could hear faint rumblings of thunder from within.

The North Lightning Tower was considered a sacred cultivation ground for the North Pavilion of the Wind Lightning Pavilion.

Only those who performed exceptionally well were qualified to enter and cultivate within.

At this moment, several figures stood atop the tower’s highest level.

Inside the solemn great hall, Tian Lei Zi, Pavilion Master of the North Pavilion, stood at the front.

Behind him, two rows of white-robed elders stood quietly—these were the senior elders of the North Pavilion.

At this time, nearly all the high-ranking members of the North Pavilion had assembled.

The reason for this grand gathering was simple: to welcome one of the candidates for the next Pavilion Master—Feng Qing’er!

Of course, while she was officially ”one of the candidates,” those among the higher-ups who were well-informed knew the truth.

The position of Pavilion Master was practically already in Feng Qing’er’s grasp.

The fact that the current Pavilion Master had sent Feng Qing’er—representing the Eastern Pavilion—to inspect the Southern, Western, and Northern Pavilions in succession made it even more obvious.

This alone said a great deal.

However, all of this occurring atop Qi Feng Mountain didn’t currently have anything to do with Lin Feng.

At this time, he was fully focused on refining pills and learning the power of space.

That’s right—spatial power.

For any cultivator at the peak of the Dou Huang level, unless they used some special means to break through, they had to comprehend spatial power before ascending to the Dou Zong realm.

Otherwise, even if they managed to break through by force to the Dou Zong level…they would be utterly crushed in battle by a Dou Zong who had properly understood and could wield spatial power.

Yun Shan and Elder Yin (Elder Silver) were both classic examples of this issue.

However, after Elder Yin’s breakthrough, it was likely that Elder Jin (Elder Gold) had already begun guiding his younger brother on how to use spatial power.

As for Yun Shan, he had only made up for that fatal flaw after receiving guidance from Xiao Yixian back in the Jia Ma Empire.

As for the original protagonist Xiao Yan, he had encountered a spatial storm while traversing a spatial wormhole.

By sheer coincidence, he absorbed a trace of spatial power into his body.

By sensing and manipulating that wisp of spatial energy, he was able to begin understanding the fundamentals of spatial power.

But Lin Feng… he didn’t dare to risk something like that.

As a result, his only option was to honestly and diligently follow Xiao Yixian’s guidance to learn how to manipulate spatial power.
