As soon as Xuan Kongzi’s words fell, countless envious and jealous gazes simultaneously turned toward Lin Feng.

Candidate for the Pill Tower Leader—that title alone signified that Lin Feng now had the opportunity to become one of the future giants of the Pill Tower. Everyone present clearly understood just how much authority and power a Pill Tower Leader possessed!

Once seated in that position, one would even have the right to study and view ninth-tier alchemy techniques and prescriptions. Thinking of that, many elders of the Pill Tower couldn’t help but have their eyes turn red with longing.

After all, none of them had ever even seen a ninth-tier pill formula before—let alone studied one.

”As the champion, aside from your identity as a Pill Tower Leader candidate, you will also receive an ancient soul cultivation technique, ranked at Low-Grade Earth Class.”

As Xuan Kongzi spoke, he turned his palm over, and an old sheepskin scroll appeared in his hand. Then, with a light flick, the scroll shot out like a streak of light, flashing through the air toward Lin Feng—right under Xiao Yan’s somewhat envious gaze.

When Lin Feng heard that it was a soul cultivation technique, the exhaustion on his face, caused by overexerting himself during alchemy, was instantly replaced by a flash of delight.

Although he already possessed a soul cultivation technique of the same tier, something this ancient and rare was never unwelcome—no alchemist would ever complain about having too many of such treasures.

He extended his hand and curled his fingers slightly, catching the glowing scroll with precision. As the light faded, the ancient sheepskin scroll appeared clearly in his grasp. The moment his palm touched its surface, a faint, mysterious sensation rippled through his mind.

”Not bad. Even if I can’t use it now, my wife can use it in the future.”

Lin Feng grinned to himself, feeling quite pleased, before storing the scroll into his spatial ring.

After a brief silence, Xuan Kongzi continued, ”The champion has been decided. Two days from now, we will open the Star Region. At that time, the top ten participants of the Pill Gathering will have the opportunity to enter and attempt to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame!”

The moment those words left his mouth, Lin Feng’s eyes, which had just calmed, flared up with excitement once more. The Three Thousand Burning Flame—that was the ninth-ranked Heavenly Flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!

For someone who cultivated the Flame Mantra, this was nothing short of a supreme source of energy. If he could absorb it, not only would his Flame Mantra evolve to the next stage, but his personal strength would also skyrocket.

Of course, Lin Feng wasn’t the only one who was thrilled. Xiao Yan, Elder Mu Gu, and the others all revealed fiery gazes at the mention of the legendary flame. Clearly, the Three Thousand Burning Flame held irresistible allure for everyone present.

Seeing the eager excitement flicker across their faces, the crowd understood one thing—although this grand Pill Gathering had reached its end, the real struggle was far from over.

This time, however, the prize wasn’t the championship title—it was the undying flame of legend, the Three Thousand Burning Flame itself!

Who would ultimately claim this heavenly treasure?

Everyone present was filled with curiosity and anticipation. Meanwhile, after nearly a month of fervor, the vast crowds surrounding the grand square of the Pill Gathering finally began to disperse as the competition officially came to an end.

Yet even so, the entire Holy Pill City still buzzed with an atmosphere of exhilaration. This year’s Pill Gathering had been far more intense than anyone had expected. The sight of one colorful Pill Lightning descending after another was enough to make anyone’s blood boil with excitement.

Especially when the Eight-Colored Pill Lightning appeared—no one could describe the level of thrill that had surged through their hearts at that moment. After all, for someone in their twenties to refine an eight-colored eighth-tier pill live on the competition stage...

That was something truly unprecedented in the entire history of the Pill Tower’s Pill Gathering!

As night quietly fell upon the still-bustling city, the streets, bathed in bright lantern light, were filled with the lively chatter of countless people—nearly every conversation revolved around the same topic:

The miraculous young man who had created history, the champion of this Pill Gathering—Lin Feng. That name, once unfamiliar to most, was now deeply engraved in the minds of everyone in Holy Pill City.

They all knew that it wouldn’t be long before this name—the youngest eight-colored eighth-tier alchemist in Central Plains history—would echo across the entire continent. When that day came, Lin Feng would undoubtedly become the most dazzling young star in all of Central Plains.

However, while the entire city was still caught up in celebration and excitement, the countless alchemists who had spent nearly a month in nonstop refining were now completely drained.

Each of them staggered back to their quarters in exhaustion, collapsing onto their beds like lifeless dogs, falling into deep, dreamless sleep.

Naturally, Lin Feng was no exception.

After putting away his puppet and exchanging a few brief words with Cao Ying and Dan Chen, he immediately took Xiao Yixian, Ye Xin Lan, as well as Tian Huo Zun Zhe and Ye Zhong, and hurried back to the Ye Manor.

After all, the process of forcefully refining an Eight-Colored Bodhisattva Pill had consumed far more of his strength than he had anticipated—it had nearly drained every ounce of his soul power.

If it weren’t for his Earth Class Soul Cultivation technique supporting him, he would have already collapsed and fainted midway through the process.

Therefore, as soon as the Pill Gathering concluded, Lin Feng returned straight to his room, lay down, and closed his eyes—falling into one of the deepest, most peaceful sleeps of his life.

As for Xiao Yixian and Ye Xin Lan, the two women naturally followed him onto the bed and soon drifted into slumber within his embrace, their breathing soft and even.

Feng Qing’er, Tian Huo Zun Zhe, and the others were all aware of just how drained Lin Feng and the girls were, so none of them dared to disturb them. They simply let the three rest quietly and comfortably.

——

When Lin Feng finally began to stir from his sleep, he slowly opened his eyes and realized that the blazing sunlight had already climbed high into the sky. He blinked groggily, only to notice that both of his arms were trapped between two soft, warm mounds pressing firmly against them.

At the same time, something equally soft and round was squished against his chest—separated only by the delicate, silky warmth of a jade-like body.

”…What’s going on here?” Lin Feng muttered dazedly.

Turning his head, he realized that Xiao Yixian and Ye Xin Lan were both lying unclothed on either side of him, each hugging one of his arms tightly in their sleep.

The person lying on top of him… was none other than Feng Qing’er, also without a single piece of clothing. Although they were all long-time partners, and he’d certainly shared many intimate moments with them, this particular scene was still enough to make Lin Feng’s heart skip a beat.

In an instant, his ”little brother”—who had clearly slept far less soundly than he had—sprang awake, loudly declaring that it was time to eat, and demanding that there must be meat.

Lin Feng let out a helpless sigh.

After all, Xiao Yixian and Ye Xin Lan had also taken part in the Pill Gathering; they were as exhausted as he was and still fast asleep. So, in the end, Lin Feng could only pat his ”brother” with a resigned chuckle and say, ”Patience… later, I’ll let you have three servings as compensation.”
