It was truly hard to imagine that Lin Feng, an alchemist whose strength hadn't even reached the level of Dou Zun, would actually possess the corpse of such a powerful expert.
One had to know that even within the inner region of the Pill Region, someone of that level would still be a renowned figure.
"Lin Feng, I'm willing to give it a try. If it succeeds, my Ye Clan will be endlessly grateful. Even if it fails, we will not blame you."
At this moment, the Third Elder suddenly clenched his fists, his expression firm as he spoke. His words caused Ye Zhong and the Second Elder of the Ye Clan to be completely shocked, both blurting out in alarm, "Old Third, you—"
"Big Brother, Second Brother, you don't have to say any more. Though our Ye Clan has now stabilized its position among the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower, if we continue developing at this pace, who knows how long it will take for us to cultivate another Dou Zun expert. If I can break through to the Dou Zun realm, our clan will have a much easier time managing future affairs."
The Third Elder looked at the two before him, then sighed softly, "Among the three of us, my talent is the weakest. So, the most suitable candidate for this should be me."
"Sigh~"
Hearing his words, Ye Zhong and the Second Elder both let out long sighs, unable to refute.
After all, what he said was true. If the current Ye Clan could gain one more Dou Zun expert to hold the fort, its rate of development would surely increase tenfold, perhaps even more. After all, the gap between Dou Zun and Dou Zong was one that was nearly impossible to cross.
"Since you've all decided, then pick one of these bodies."
Seeing that they had come to an agreement, Lin Feng spoke again.
"In that case, I won't be polite. I want that Eight-Star Dou Zun's body."
The Third Elder cupped his hands toward Lin Feng, his gaze landing on Dong Yan's corpse.
"Alright."
Lin Feng agreed without hesitation. He wasn't particularly reluctant to part with Dong Yan's body.
Though doing so meant losing a top-quality Sky Demon Puppet, if he could use this method to resurrect the Third Elder, the latter's strength would certainly reach the Dou Zun level.
While his combat power might not rival a Sky Demon Puppet, a living Dou Zun expert could accomplish far more than a puppet ever could. Given his current relationship with the Ye Clan, if he ever needed their help in the future, they would have no reason to refuse.
"Since the person has been decided, Third Elder, do you want to begin now, or wait until I return from familiarizing myself with the Small Pill Tower?"
Lin Feng stored away the corpses and continued, "Of course, while I do have the blood essence of a Rank 8 magic beast, the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill I have on hand is only of seventh-tier. If I perform the resurrection secret method later, I might be able to obtain an eighth-tier Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill."
He still had the blood essence of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast, a Five-Star Dou Zun-level magic beast, unused.
Although that blood essence was taken from a five-star Dou Zun beast, since the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast carried the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, its purity was extraordinarily high.
In terms of quality, it could very well rival the blood essence drawn from an ordinary Six-Star or even Seven-Star Dou Zun beast. Since he hadn't found a proper use for it yet, giving it to the other party seemed appropriate.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder hesitated.
If he were to proceed with the resurrection now, he could become a Dou Zun sooner and help his clan immediately. But if he waited a while longer, the materials available for the ritual would be significantly improved.
After all, the difference between a seventh-tier and an eighth-tier pill was like that between heaven and earth.
"Lin Feng, let's trouble you to perform the secret method after some time. After all, no matter what, Old Third should have a chance to say goodbye to his clan first."
At this moment, Ye Zhong spoke.
After all, this was the first time he'd heard of such a secret method, and he was unsure how dangerous it might be. Once Old Third took his own life, there would be no turning back. In his view, letting him meet his clan first was only proper.
"Do as you wish, but even if you're going to see your clan, you must not reveal anything about this secret method. After all, the effects of this technique are far too heaven-defying—if word of it spreads, it could cause a lot of trouble."
Lin Feng nodded slightly as he gave another stern reminder.
"Rest assured, we would sooner die than speak a word of what happened today."
Ye Zhong and the other two clasped their fists solemnly toward him.
For Lin Feng to reveal such a heaven-defying secret method to help their Ye Clan, they were already deeply grateful. Naturally, they would never leak anything about it. After saying this, the three of them soon left Lin Feng's residence and headed elsewhere.
"Thank you, husband, for everything you've done for the Ye Clan."
As soon as the others left, Ye Xin Lan immediately threw herself into Lin Feng's arms, her voice trembling with emotion.
She knew that the reason Lin Feng had helped the Ye Clan so much was largely because of her. Otherwise, who in the world would share such an unbelievable secret method so freely?
Seeing her like this, Lin Feng wrapped his arm around her slender waist and whispered teasingly beside her delicate ear, "If you want to thank me, you'll have to show a little sincerity."
With that, Lin Feng scooped her up into his arms and walked toward the bed.
Soon after, a melodious song of passion began to echo rhythmically within the room. It was only a pity that Xiao Yixian had gone into seclusion to refine pills and couldn't join the duet.
"I almost forgot—I still haven't checked this thing."
A few hours later, Lin Feng sat up in bed with the blanket draped over him, looking relaxed as he took out an old bronze piece from his ring.
However, the blanket beneath him was rising and falling in a rather peculiar rhythm, as if something—or someone—was hidden underneath.
Lin Feng did his best to suppress the sensations as he wiped the bronze piece clean. The bronze plate was a faint yellow, its surface covered with numerous squiggly lines of green patina that looked like tiny earthworms.
It was precisely this layer of corrosion that concealed some of the intricate patterns engraved on it, preventing the contents beneath from being further eroded.
Lin Feng pressed his fingers together, and a wisp of Dou Qi rapidly condensed at his fingertips, forming a fine, needle-like strand of energy. He carefully slid the needle into the layer of green patina on the bronze's surface, delicately scraping and prying at it bit by bit.
Under his patient and meticulous work, the green corrosion began to peel away gradually, floating off the bronze and gathering in the air before him.
After nearly half an hour, Lin Feng finally removed all the green rust from the bronze piece. He then casually stored the now-clean bronze plate back into his ring.
Curling his palm slightly, he released a wave of suction force, pulling all the suspended green patina into his hand until it condensed into a thumb-sized green sphere.
Immediately after, he summoned a dark-red flame, enveloping the green sphere within it and swiftly increasing the temperature. After several minutes of smelting, the green bronze sphere finally began to melt.
