**
The sudden appearance of a heavenly phenomenon spread rapidly, its influence covering a vast area.
In an instant, countless gazes across Tianbei City were drawn toward the sky.
"Pill Lightning?!"
As the sky suddenly changed, those with broader experience cried out in shock, "That's Pill Lightning! It only appears when a seventh-tier pill is about to form!"
At the Han Clan estate—
The moment Han Yue and her sister saw the dramatic changes above, joy lit up their beautiful faces.
"Excellent! Judging by this scene, Master Lin Feng succeeded!"
Gazing at the massive silver lightning forming rapidly within the dense black clouds above, Han Chi was also visibly thrilled.
Judging by the power this Pill Lightning contained, those nearby would surely see it clearly.
After today, the reputation of their Han Clan would skyrocket!
"Father, that Pill Lightning looks terrifyingly powerful. Should we call for the Grand Elder to help defend against it?"
Han Yue's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the thunderclouds overhead, concern showing in her beautiful eyes.
"No need," said a white-robed old man who suddenly appeared beside the two of them before Han Chi could speak. His tone was calm. "That woman in the sky—her strength surpasses even mine. She should be able to handle the Pill Lightning."
As he spoke, his sharp gaze was fixed on the silver lightning in the sky—a force even he found deeply intimidating.
"Grand Elder!"
Seeing the newcomer, the Han Clan members quickly bowed in greeting.
Although they had already been stunned by the fact that Xiao Yixian was a Dou Zong expert, when they heard that her strength surpassed even their Grand Elder's, many of them were shocked anew.
They had subconsciously assumed Xiao Yixian was merely an entry-level Dou Zong.
But now, based on the Grand Elder's tone, she must be at least a Five-Star Dou Zong!
BOOM!
Just as they were speaking, a thick silver bolt of lightning suddenly shot down from the dense clouds above.
In an instant, the sunless and dim sky brightened dramatically.
The bolt was over half a meter thick and crackled with the might of heaven and earth as it shot down toward the small pill inside Lin Feng's cauldron!
Despite the terrifying lightning crashing down, Lin Feng remained completely calm.
With a flick of his ring, a flash of silver light appeared beside him—
A silver figure materialized instantly.
"Yin Er—go!"
With a sharp command from Lin Feng, the silver figure suddenly shot upward, leaving the watchers below in stunned silence.
Once it appeared, the figure didn't hesitate at all—it charged straight toward the silver Pill Lightning, which carried the full power of a Five-Star Dou Zong.
BANG!
A thunderous explosion echoed across the heavens as the two forces collided.
In the moment of impact, the chest of the Earth Demon Puppet caved in from the powerful lightning strike.
Meanwhile, the silver lightning bolt shattered into countless crackling tendrils—tiny silver snakes that writhed across the puppet's body.
If it had been a normal Three-Star Dou Zong, their flesh would've been torn apart and their body heavily injured by now.
But the Earth Demon Puppet showed no reaction at all.
On the contrary—its aura was steadily rising as it absorbed the lightning!
"T-That's… a puppet?!"
After recovering from the initial shock, the Han Clan's Grand Elder finally recognized the figure's true nature, his tone filled with disbelief.
The art of puppet refinement had been lost since ancient times.
He had only seen descriptions of such constructs in a few scattered ancient texts.
Today was his first time seeing one in real life.
But before long, he noticed something even more incredible—that Earth Demon Puppet floating in the sky was growing stronger with each strike from the Pill Lightning!
When he saw this, the Grand Elder's expression froze in astonishment.
"That puppet… it's actually absorbing the power of lightning to strengthen itself?!"
Eyes fixed on the silver figure in the distance, the Han Clan's Grand Elder muttered in shock.
While everyone was still reeling in astonishment, the thick clouds in the sky—after releasing four or five massive silver serpentine bolts of Pill Lightning—finally expended all the energy they contained.
Without the support of that heavenly energy, the thunderclouds could no longer maintain their form and began to slowly dissipate.
At this moment, the Earth Demon Puppet descended steadily to Lin Feng's side.
When Lin Feng looked over, he found that the puppet's silver body had become even more brilliant after the tempering of the lightning.
After being struck by several waves of Pill Lightning, its aura now rivaled that of a peak Five-Star Dou Zong!
"Not bad. If we go through this a few more times, it might even break through to peak Dou Zong,"
Lin Feng chuckled lightly, though his face remained pale.
In order to refine this pill, he had expended nearly ninety percent of his soul power.
After all, by standard, he still wasn't at the level required to refine a mid seventh-tier pill.
That he had succeeded today was thanks in no small part to the Heavenly Flame and those advanced pill-refining techniques he'd inherited.
Sensing his current weakness, he quickly consumed several recovery pills and began meditating to restore himself.
Half a day later, with most of his strength recovered, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes and waved his hand.
From the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron in front of him, a pill swirled through the air and landed gently in his palm.
It was a pill of black and red, about the size of a longan fruit.
"No wonder the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill has the ability to restore souls and reverse death. Compared to a low seventh-tier Life Returning Pill, this is far more potent,"
Lin Feng murmured softly as he stared at the pill in his palm.
The pill was smooth and round, its black and red hues intertwining with a natural luster.
Touching its surface, one side felt icy cold, the other warm—creating a strangely mystical sensation.
Still, when he thought about the value of a Rank 8 Beast Flame, Lin Feng shook his head.
This mid seventh-tier pill was precious, yes—but it still didn't compare to the worth of a Rank 8 Beast Flame.
"You brat… why are you refining a pill like that? If I couldn't control myself, that could've ended very badly."
From within the snow-white storage ring, Tian Huo Zun Zhe spoke up, having just swept his soul sense across the pill in Lin Feng's hand.
"Heh… Elder Yao, want to give it a try? Fuse this with the Ghostly Poison Flame and maybe bring yourself back to life?"
Lin Feng teased with a grin.
"Scram! I'm not about to let you turn me into a poison corpse!"
Tian Huo Zun Zhe snapped, clearly annoyed.
He'd been dreaming every day about resurrection, waiting eagerly for the chance.
And now this brat was tempting him to try something so risky?
If his new body got scorched by the Ghostly Poison Flame, and the poison couldn't be purged—then he'd be completely finished.
At that thought, Tian Huo Zun Zhe directly cut off their mental connection and refused to speak further.
"Tch. So touchy…"
Seeing the old man go silent, Lin Feng muttered under his breath and stored the Earth Demon Puppet back into his ring.
He then packed up the cauldron and walked outside.
"Master Lin Feng! Congratulations!"
Han Chi rushed over as soon as he saw Lin Feng emerge. "Judging by the strength of that Pill Lightning, your alchemy skills have surely reached the level of a mid seventh-tier alchemist. I've lived most of my life, and I can count the times I've seen such intense Pill Lightning on one hand!"
Though he wasn't an alchemist himself, before becoming clan leader, he had traveled extensively and gained considerable experience.
He could roughly judge a pill's grade by the Pill Lightning it summoned—that much, he was capable of.
"Heh… Just got lucky."
Lin Feng nodded slightly and replied with a smile.
"Master, you're being modest."
Han Chi laughed and added flatteringly before motioning to the white-robed elder beside him. "Allow me to introduce—this is the Grand Elder of our Han Clan. He is a peak Four-Star Dou Zong."
