**

After all, the appeal of a seventh-tier alchemist was so great that even a Dou Zong expert found it hard to resist.

The pregnancy phase of the pill lasted for several hours. Within the flames, the once-uneven embryonic pill had undergone a complete transformation.

It had become a smooth, thumb-sized pill, radiating red and purple hues.

The two colors interlaced, like a yin-yang fish, sketched across the pill's surface.

Just looking at it gave the illusion of intelligence—truly wondrous.

And at the very moment this pill took its final form, the sky above Lin Feng suddenly grew dark.

Thick black clouds, seemingly conjured from nowhere, swiftly gathered above.

Within the clouds, faint silver bolts of lightning could be seen slithering like serpents, darting back and forth.

This abrupt change in the heavens stunned everyone present.

"Pill Lightning! It's said that only seventh-tier pills have the chance to draw Pill Lightning!"

Some who were more knowledgeable had already recognized the scene and shouted in shock.

"Pill Lightning, huh…"

Medusa lifted her chin, her beautiful eyes slightly dazed as she stared into the sky.

Within the dense clouds, thunderbolts slithered like silver snakes in chaos.

Under such celestial might, even she—who had just stepped into Five-Star Dou Zong not long ago—felt a trace of unease.

Though she had heard that when pills of particularly high grade were born, their tremendous energy could disturb the heavens and trigger Pill Lightning…this was her first time seeing it with her own eyes.

She remembered that the Instant Qi Pill Lin Feng had refined previously, even though they were seventh-tier, hadn't summoned any Pill Lightning.

At that thought, Medusa's delicate hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

It seemed… this time, he really had given it his all.

"Chi-la!"

As the black clouds spread, suddenly, a silver arc of lightning as thick as an arm burst from the clouds.

The blinding light lit up the darkened world like daylight.

On the stone platform, Lin Feng heard the sound and looked up, his gaze locking on the dense clouds almost right above his head.

The rolling thunder within was so deafening, it felt like it was exploding beside his ears, causing a constant buzzing in his eardrums.

"So this is Pill Lightning… if it strikes, the force might rival a full-strength blow from a low-level Dou Zong."

Staring at the brilliant silver lightning in the sky, a trace of wonder flickered in Lin Feng's eyes.

To witness such a celestial phenomenon from refining pills—this was his first time.

"I wonder how many stars my Earth Demon Puppet will evolve to, thanks to this Pill Lightning…" Muttering to himself, Lin Feng then extended a finger and flicked his storage ring.

With a flash of light, a burly silver figure appeared beside him.

This puppet had been refined from the body of Elder Yin, one of the Gold and Elder Yins.

Originally, Elder Yin wasn't particularly large, but with the reinforcement of various metal materials…his physique rapidly expanded, eventually forming the towering figure seen now.

Lin Feng had also given him a very simple name—Yin Er (Silver Two).

As soon as the puppet was summoned, the silver lightning within the clouds began to clash even more violently.

In an instant, the surrounding atmosphere turned suffocatingly heavy.

After a brief silence, the clouds suddenly split open with a sharp crack.

"Boom!"

Immediately after, a bolt of silver lightning, about half a foot thick and wide, roared through the sky with a thunderous boom, resembling a massive silver python as it lunged from the cloud.

It shot straight toward the crimson medicinal cauldron in front of Lin Feng!

"Yin Er, go!"

Watching the massive silver python imbued with the might of heaven and earth come crashing down, Lin Feng suddenly shouted.

As his voice rang out, the silver figure beside him shot forward, charging into the sky like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, it collided fiercely with the similarly silver, wild bolt of lightning.

"Boom!"

The two forces clashed— the giant silver lightning python slammed heavily into the body of the Earth Demon Puppet.

Instantly, it shattered into countless smaller bolts of lightning, densely packed, crawling over the puppet's body like tiny silver serpents.

However, very few noticed—these silver serpents, after crawling across the Earth Demon Puppet for a few seconds, were suddenly absorbed into its body.

And the aura emitted from the Earth Demon Puppet began to grow stronger—silently but noticeably.

"Who is that? Why is he unaffected by such fearsome lightning strikes?"

Seeing Yin Er's appearance, a nearby Dou Zong watching the scene was first stunned, then filled with disbelief.

Under such Pill Lightning, even an ordinary Four-Star Dou Zong wouldn't dare take it head-on.

But that silver figure had actually used its physical body to resist it directly.

Such a reckless move— even those who had cultivated for over a century— had never witnessed anything like it.

Their eyes locked onto the figure flickering with blinding silver light amid the thunderstorm.

Moments later, the onlookers all furrowed their brows.

They had noticed something strange—they couldn't sense any aura from that figure.

At most, all they could perceive was an extremely powerful but stiff presence.

It was as if… it lacked a soul.

While the crowd was still in shock, the Pill Lightning in the sky showed no signs of relenting.

Rough silver lightning bolts continued to slash down one after another, violently striking Yin Er's body.

Compared to the heaven-imbued Pill Lightning, the originally burly puppet now looked like a mere child.

Yet, that silver figure took each of the ferocious strikes head-on without faltering.

Not long after, the Pill Lightning seemed to notice that someone below was challenging its authority.

A massive bolt of silver lightning suddenly broke free from the binding of the clouds.

At that moment, the dazzling radiance lit up the gloomy, cloud-covered mountain valley, turning it as bright as day.

"This Pill Lightning… might already be comparable to a full-strength strike from a Four-Star Dou Zong. I wonder if the Demon Puppet can still absorb it."

Xiao Yixian raised her head, gazing at the enormous silver lightning bolt falling rapidly from the sky. Her pink lips parted slightly as she murmured.

Lin Feng had already explained to her before that the Demon Puppet could evolve by absorbing lightning.

But now, faced with this overwhelmingly violent lightning force, she couldn't help feeling a little uncertain.

"Chi-la!"

With a deafening explosion, the bolt of silver lightning slammed violently into Yin Er's body.

"BOOM!"

At the exact moment of impact, a thunderous roar that felt as if it struck the souls of everyone present erupted across the heavens.

The place where Yin Er and the lightning clashed caved in instantly, cracks forming along the surface.

That massive silver lightning bolt, after a few moments of struggle during the collision…finally couldn't hold on any longer and shattered into countless tiny silver lightning serpents.

These serpents were quickly drawn in by the Earth Demon Puppet, slithering across its entire body.

One by one, they were absorbed into its body.
