Bang!
The moment Ling Feng finished sending the message, a dull thud came from beside him.
Ling Feng's expression sank, "What's going on? Did the furnace explode?"
Lin Shuai Nan had been refining pills day and night these past few days, and he had a lot of refining materials on hand.
They wouldn't be depleted anytime soon, and things had been going smoothly. Especially after Ling Feng had set up the formation, it was even less likely for anyone else to notice.
With Lin Shuai Nan refining pills, he naturally had no reservations.
But how could the furnace explode under such circumstances?
Ling Feng pushed the door open and walked in.
A rich medicinal fragrance mixed with a burnt smell wafted out.
Ling Feng's eyes widened as he saw Lin Shuai Nan, with his messy hair and blackened face, walking out.
Lin Shuai Nan's current appearance immediately reminded Ling Feng of when he first met him.
That kid had such a distinctive hairstyle back then.
However, this current look was clearly more natural, with wisps of heat rising from his hair.
"Big Brother, it's me, I'm fine, hehe, I almost failed, but I ruined the alchemy furnace!"
Lin Shuai Nan grinned, and one of his front teeth was missing. It was obvious that it had been blown out by the alchemy furnace.
Ling Feng's mouth twitched. The furnace had indeed exploded.
And it had directly rendered the alchemy furnace scrap.
After all, Ling Feng had planned to refine some pills himself these days.
After all, to improve his cultivation faster, refining pills was more reliable. Once the heavenly treasures and earthly materials on him were depleted, he would have to rely on other methods to quickly increase his cultivation.
But that was a matter for later.
The alchemy furnace had now been ruined by Lin Shuai Nan.
Hadn't this kid blocked this path directly?
Looking at the fragments scattered all over the ground.
One had to admit that this alchemy furnace had indeed met a miserable end!
Under such circumstances, Ling Feng didn't even have a chance to save it, let alone perform major surgery!
Ling Feng couldn't help but twitch his mouth and turn to glare at Lin Shuai Nan.
Lin Shuai Nan, frightened, backed away repeatedly, "Hehe, Big Brother, it's just an alchemy furnace. You surely don't care about this thing, right? Since it's already broken, if you hit it and break it further, you'll have to take care of me!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly. Being with Lin Shuai Nan meant he had to get used to these things. Unexpected events and tomorrow could arrive at the same time!
"Tell me, what kind of pill were you refining that you managed to ruin the alchemy furnace? Could it be a seventh-grade pill?"
Ling Feng knew very well that Lin Shuai Nan could already refine sixth-grade pills.
This was already an incredibly heaven-defying talent for Ling Feng.
After all, with Lin Shuai Nan's cultivation, refining fifth-grade pills was already considered a genius.
Being able to refine sixth-grade pills should be his limit. Any higher, and Lin Shuai Nan's cultivation wouldn't be enough.
But Lin Shuai Nan, this cultivator who was number one in unpredictability, if he managed to ruin the alchemy furnace, he must have been refining a seventh-grade pill.
Only a seventh-grade pill had such power to completely destroy this alchemy furnace!
But what Ling Feng didn't expect was.
Lin Shuai Nan chuckled slyly, "Hehe, Big Brother, it's not a seventh-grade pill. Guess what I refined!"
Ling Feng frowned slightly, "What? Could it be just a sixth-grade..."
He only got halfway through his sentence when Ling Feng suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Shuai Nan as if he had seen a ghost.
"Did you refine an eighth-grade pill?"
Ling Feng's heart was already racing.
Ling Feng could definitely refine seventh-grade pills now, but for eighth-grade pills, his cultivation was still a bit strained.
Perhaps after reaching the late stage of the Soul Transformation realm, Ling Feng would be completely confident.
Of course, this would also require a very good alchemy furnace.
After all, eighth-grade pills could already help cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence stage improve their cultivation, and even cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence stage were reluctant to use them on a regular basis.
In fact, most cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence stage couldn't afford eighth-grade pills.
Before, Ling Feng had indeed given Lin Shuai Nan some good materials, which were very rare, but they had been abandoned for too long.
Their medicinal effects had weakened considerably, making it very difficult to refine eighth-grade pills. Moreover, Lin Shuai Nan's own conditions, the alchemy furnace's conditions, and all other aspects were not up to par.
Refining an eighth-grade pill was not just difficult, it was as hard as ascending to heaven!
So, at first, Ling Feng didn't dare to think in that direction.
However, Lin Shuai Nan, this cultivator who was number one in unpredictability, could do anything.
"Haha, that's right. Although the refining failed, it's considered a semi-finished product, barely reaching eighth-grade. Big Brother, look, do you recognize this?"
Lin Shuai Nan excitedly presented the pill in his hand to Ling Feng. One had to admit that Lin Shuai Nan was truly as happy as a child.
Showing off his artistic creation.
When Ling Feng saw the green pill in Lin Shuai Nan's hand, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Spirit Splitting Pill?"
"Yes, it's an eighth-grade pill, the Spirit Splitting Pill. It can split one's primordial spirit into two, which is equivalent to having an extra life, hehe. Big Brother, think about it, if two primordial spirits control two avatars and fight together, with one hundred percent tacit understanding, wouldn't that be invincible?"
Lin Shuai Nan was incredibly excited, talking about his fantasies and gesturing in the air as if he had found an opponent to fight!
Ling Feng nodded, "This can indeed increase a cultivator's combat power exponentially."
Lin Shuai Nan chuckled, "Hehe, it's a pity the alchemy furnace is too poor. If it were of higher quality, reaching the level of a seventh or eighth-grade magical artifact, perhaps I could have refined two. If the materials were sufficient, I would definitely refine hundreds of them, hehe. Then my primordial spirit would have hundreds, with hundreds of avatars for me to control. Each of them would be me. When fighting others, I wouldn't even need to make a move; just standing there would scare them into peeing their pants!"
After saying that, Lin Shuai Nan put his hands on his hips and laughed maniacally.
Ling Feng's mouth twitched. Only a pervert like Lin Shuai Nan could have such thoughts.
Even one Spirit Splitting Pill was extremely precious, let alone refining hundreds of them.
Moreover, according to records, taking the Spirit Splitting Pill was an extremely painful process, forcibly splitting one primordial spirit into two, a pain that went deep into the soul.
It was definitely a hundred times more painful than childbirth!
Most people wouldn't dare to consume it. If they couldn't withstand it, their foundation could be damaged, and they might never be able to cultivate again.
Even one was so agonizing.
Let alone hundreds.
Unless Lin Shuai Nan was looking for abuse!
Of course, this was Ling Feng's assumption based on common sense.
He had forgotten that Lin Shuai Nan was not bound by common sense at all. In the future, when Lin Shuai Nan actually released hundreds of avatars, Ling Feng's expression would be incredibly complex...
Of course, these were all things that happened later.
For now, Ling Feng was more concerned about this Spirit Splitting Pill.
"This thing is considered a semi-finished product. Do you plan to keep it for yourself?"
