Inside the Alchemy Room, a dry and scorching atmosphere prevailed, as if all the moisture in this space had evaporated and dried up in an instant.
Chen Fei was enveloped in intense flames, the temperature reaching an extreme. Under this astounding heat, both Cang Kun and Muf Yunlei felt a deceptive illness looming. It was terrifying, instilling fear and awe.
However, this shocking environmental change received no attention from them. Their gazes were fixed firmly on the silhouette within the flames.
"This kind of fluctuation... Qi Cultivation!?" Muf Leiyun's face contorted with horror as he sensed the faint fluctuations from Chen Fei's body, involuntarily reacting with stunning disbelief. His pupils contracted.
Clearly, he never anticipated that Chen Fei's cultivation was still below the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm... the level of Qi Cultivation.
But wasn't this kid just engaged in a battle with Black and White Generals from the Yan Zhen Sect?
Even relying on that somewhat peculiar and strong puppet, but with only Qi Cultivation, isn't that too exaggerated!?
A person with only Qi Cultivation actually able to contend against two Second Heavenly Layer Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts! Moreover, he could craft Fourth Grade Mid-Grade Twin Mark Pills, what an astonishing and frightening feat!?
If it were to be spread, who would believe it? Who would dare believe it!?
Thinking of this, Muf Leiyun felt a shiver of shock and awe in his heart.
For this terrifying potential and talent, what would the future hold!?
As for Cang Kun, his gaze towards Chen Fei was filled with deep admiration and reverence. Unlike Muf Leiyun's shock, he knew Chen Fei's true strength.
At the peak of Qi Refining Eighth Level, yet possessing combat power to rival Second Heavenly Layer Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts! If Muf Leiyun knew this, he would definitely be dumbfounded.
Under the gaze of these two deeply admiring and shocked individuals, the silhouette within the flames sat cross-legged on the ground. As waves of fierce flames surged into his body, it seemed as though the temperature in the Alchemy Room was under his control.
The temperature shifted fiercely, oscillating between highs and lows, making it unbearable for ordinary people to withstand such drastic fluctuations.
Witnessing this scene, Muf Leiyun couldn't help but focus his gaze on Chen Fei's figure, his pupils contracting.
"Is he truly only at Qi Cultivation?" He whispered to Cang Kun, who was nearby.
Cang Kun heard this and smiled without answering. Because the Qi Cultivation aura permeating the air was ample proof.
Chen Fei's current Cultivation Realm indeed remained at Qi Cultivation!
Nevertheless, even so, his master was far surpassing ordinary First Heavenly Layer Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts, in both terrifying foundation and the potential and talent to battle beyond his level, truly an astounding wonder.
In the distant Central Region of the Alchemy Room, Chen Fei was seated on the ground. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he slowly exhaled an exceptionally hot breath through his throat.
"Whew!"
Accompanying this gentle syllable released through his breath, the fierce flames enveloping him began to tremble slightly.
Threads of agile fire serpents gradually shifted their color from the original earthy yellow to faint red, then bright red, and ultimately purple! Meanwhile, Chen Fei's cultivation aura within his body completely and swiftly soared without obstruction.
Qi Refining Ninth Layer!
Peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer!
...
"Roar!"
Once again, followed by a faint syllable of a low roar. The purple flames surrounding Chen Fei unexpectedly turned dark red, with their size clearly shrinking a notch...
Simultaneously, from the earth emerged mysterious fluctuations, forming earthy-yellow flame lines resembling spider webs encircling Chen Fei's body within the flames. There was a faintly majestic aura suffusing them.
This scene directly caused someone as knowledgeable as Muf Leiyun to slightly change his expression. Such a breathtaking scene was unheard of and unseen.
Moreover, it's not like refining Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame is always like this, right?
His intuition told him, within this, Chen Fei seemed to have added something else.
In the blink of an eye, time passed away like clouds crossing gaps. Chen Fei maintained his astonishing state, and his aura naturally grew stronger and more powerful.
This change, at least compared to before swallowing Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart, was a world apart. One in the sky, one on the ground.
"Boom!"
Finally, once the last thread of Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart was refined into Chen Fei's body, his entire body instantly erupted with a dazzling flame brilliance, vivid and lifelike, illuminating with lively hues.
Meanwhile, vast spiritual energy akin to a storm violently swept both inside and outside his body at that moment. The flow of scorching flames surged within the alchemy room.
Almost instantly, Chen Fei's body seemed to surpass its limits, quickly filled with a strong, abundant spiritual energy.
His entire aura became exceptionally formidable. An unprecedented peak state.
"What a pity, just a little bit short... but reaching the ultimate of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, half-step Foundation Establishment, is still satisfying for me. No wonder it's an exotic flame born from heaven and earth; its energy is indeed wondrous..."
Feeling the changes within his body, Chen Fei couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face, his smile wide.
Simply refining the residual energy within this Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart brought him to the ultimate of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, half-step Foundation Establishment. Such abilities are comparable to some high-grade pills.
This Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart is indeed extraordinary, born from heaven and earth, remarkable and magical.
With his mouth slightly open, Chen Fei exhaled a somewhat impure breath. At the same time, he stood up and waved his hand, absorbing all the rolling flame into his body.
The Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart, refining complete.
"Did the master succeed?" Cang Kun came over, sincerely admiringly. In Chen Fei's hand, the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart seemed entirely different from when it was with Tuoba Bo. The disparity was too evident.
"Of course. It's naturally a success."
Chen Fei twisted his neck, producing a cracking sound from bones colliding, which made him grin.
As he raised his hand, a lifelike little flame snake appeared, wrapping around his arm, emitting faint waves that were extraordinarily astonishing. Even Cang Kun, who was at the Realm of Third-Level Demonic Beast, couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
Just by looking at that little flame snake, his heart began to pound uncontrollably... This indicated that the power of the little flame snake was likely far superior to him now.
Thinking about this, Cang Kun couldn't help but take a deep breath and congratulated, "Master, congratulations. You've taken another big step forward in your strength..."
Before Cang Kun finished speaking, Muf Leiyun also came forward with a clearly shocked expression, sincerely congratulating Chen Fei: "Chief Chen, congratulations. Your exceptional talent truly makes one feel ashamed."
"Mr. Mu, you're too kind. Are you satisfied with that Ancient Spell Talisman Book?" Chen Fei smiled and asked again.
Muf Leiyun was slightly startled by the words and then a deep seriousness appeared in his eyes, saying, "The ancient curse techniques on it are unheard of⦠But I can be sure this method is truly formidable and astonishing."
"As long as Mr. Mu is satisfied." Chen Fei nodded with a smile, "Since you've accepted the item, please remember to keep our secret, Mr. Mu."
Upon hearing this, Muf Leiyun's gaze condensed. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly said through gritted teeth, "Tuoba Bo's death can't be hidden! Especially since the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart is missing, whether it's our Floating Immortal Pavilion high level, or the Tuoba Family, they won't stand idly by. With their methods, even if I refuse to speak, they will certainly have means to find clues elsewhere."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Chen Fei's eyes slightly condensed. Indeed, even if Muf Leiyun stayed silent, the major powers' methods and capabilities were not to be doubted.
Thinking about this, Chen Fei stopped bothering to overthink. He decided to take it one step at a time.
Then he said calmly, "If that's the case, just ensure that you keep the secret on your end, Mr. Mu. Don't worry about the rest."
Upon hearing this, Muf Leiyun was slightly stunned. He remained silent for a while before suddenly biting the bullet and saying, "Chief Chen, frankly speaking, I have some connections in Earth Martial City. If you are willing, I can recommend you to a major power in Earth Martial City! By then, neither the Floating Immortal Pavilion nor the Tuoba Family will be able to touch you."
"Huh?" Chen Fei was a bit surprised, not expecting Muf Leiyun to say such a thing. He actually claimed to have connections in Earth Martial City? Isn't he the steward of the Ghost Wolf City branch of Floating Immortal Pavilion? How could he...
But afterward, Chen Fei shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Mu. However, I maintain that I'm not aiming for Earth Martial City, so I don't wish to be bound there. I will go to Earth Martial City, but not now."
Hearing Chen Fei say this, Muf Leiyun also understood that nothing more could be done and only sighed softly, no longer persuading.
"Then so be it, I will fulfill my duties well, but other things, I can't guarantee." Muf Leiyun looked at Chen Fei and said.
"That's enough. Mr. Mu, goodbye, and thank you for the hospitality." Chen Fei nodded and turned to leave.
Cang Kun immediately followed. The two disappeared amidst the smoking clouds outside the alchemy room.
Watching the gradually disappearing backs of Chen Fei and Cang Kun, Muf Leiyun stood in place for a long time, his eyes flickering, and eventually shook his head, silently turning to leave in the opposite direction.
This time, making such a big mess, even with his status, he probably had to worry for a very long time. Still, it was worth it for that certain Ancient Spell Talisman Book!
Meanwhile, after Chen Fei and Cang Kun left Floating Immortal Pavilion, the latter hesitated and asked, "Master, are we still going to the auction tonight?"
Auction?
Chen Fei was initially slightly taken aback, but then his eyes lit up without hesitation, "Go! How can we not go? It's a perfect opportunity to test the extent of my current combat power increases."
"Let's go, right now!" Looking at the sunset gradually dimming in the distant sky, Chen Fei waved his hand with infinite passion.
