Lin Feng successfully refined the four three-rune pills, astonishing everyone present, especially the alchemists from Alchemy Hall. Jun Jei was left speechless by Lin Feng's skill. While Lin Feng warned the recipients about the dangers of the wilderness, he also faced an unexpected visit from Yan Chen of Alchemy Hall. Yan Chen, impressed by Lin Feng's unique refinement technique, invited him to join Alchemy Hall, declaring him the most talented alchemist in the world. Lin Feng politely refused the offer.

"May I know the reason why?"

Yan Chen asked with a polite tone, but Jun Jei was dreading to hear Lin Feng’s response.

"Do I really need a reason?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Yan Chen frowned inwardly but nodded to Lin Feng, "I see, it seems that I failed to give you a clear image of my invitation. I will mention all the benefits you will gain after joining Alchemy Hall..."

"There is no need for you to do that..." Lin Feng shook his head, "Just the fact that you think my refinement technique is better than all of the techniques you had seen is enough for me to understand the depths of Alchemy Hall..."

Yan Chen’s expression faltered slightly, and Lin Feng noticed that.

"Listen, Junior Lin, refinement is just one aspect. You can get all the spirit herbs and rare pill formulas in the world without much cost, and even perfect channels to sell your pills at higher prices throughout the world without incurring any handling charges. There is much more to Alchemy Hall that not many people know about..."

Yan Chen held himself back and still tried to entice Lin Feng with the benefits.

Lin Feng looked at Yan Chen with uninterested eyes, and for the last time he shook his head politely, "I still refuse..."

Yan Chen sighed, "You are now making things difficult for me, Junior Lin..."

"Ohh, in what sense?" Lin Feng didn’t hide the amusement in his voice.

"Sigh, I heard that you want to join Mysterious Heaven Sect, right? Can I ask you why you made that decision?"

Yan Chen had a feeling that Mysterious Heaven Sect had definitely offered Lin Feng something which made him adamant about joining them. If only he could find out about that, then he could come with even better terms on behalf of Alchemy Hall.

"You really are something..." Lin Feng sighed nonchalantly. He was done pretending, "First of all, I am not obliged to answer you anything, but I will indulge you for the last time, so listen carefully. I want to join Mysterious Heaven Sect..."

Lin Feng deliberately dragged out the last few words, causing the crowd to hold their breath in anticipation of his explanation..

"... Simply because I want to..."

Everyone who was waiting to hear some valid reason got stunned and dumbfounded. Some cultivators in the crowd weren’t able to stop themselves from laughing even when they tried their best to suppress it so that Yan Chen didn’t hear them.

...

"Hehehe..." Cui Shuyin for a moment herself thought that Lin Feng really had some reason to join Mysterious Heaven Sect, "I told you that he would be able to handle it more thoroughly..."

Yan Chen still being persistent made her quite angry. A single rejection should have been enough for him to back off, but he didn’t, and he even had the guts to think that Mysterious Heaven Sect had manipulated Lin Feng into joining. If she really were the one handling this, then she would have flung him out of the town by now.

"Looks like Yan Chen’s mask is fading away. I hope he doesn’t try something funny..." Xin Yan stated as she looked at Yan Chen’s expression.

"Tsk, he can try..." Cui Shuyin’s eyes turned a little dangerous.

The moment Yan Chen made the first move, he would lose all his immunity as an alchemist. She wouldn’t mind showing him his real place.

...

Lin Feng felt the faint killing intent from Yan Chen, and he wasn’t even surprised. He had seen many righteous cultivators who just hide behind the mask of righteousness.

To him, these types of cultivators were far more evil than the devil cultivators themselves.

Yan Chen looked at Lin Feng for a little longer before smiling, "I see, very well then, I will take my leave, but remember this, if you ever feel like joining Alchemy Hall, then don’t hesitate, we will definitely welcome you with respect..."

After saying that, Yan Chen gestured to Jun Jei and Le Yang, "Let’s go..."

Jun Jei was very happy to hear that. He had escaped the fate of humiliation.

As they left the vicinity, he couldn’t help but sow a little discord, "Senior Yan, he was too rude by nature..."

Yan Chen gave a side glance to Jun Jei, making him flinch, "That isn’t something I would like to hear from your lips..."

"Forgive me, senior" Jun Jei apologized immediately and didn’t spoke a word after that.

Le Yang decided to ask something himself, "So are we going to report about Lin Feng to the sect or not?"

They hadn’t reported about Lin Feng to the sect yet. The distance was too vast to do so, and it would take months for the information to arrive even with teleportation.

"I will do it myself. You two don’t have to involve yourselves in it now, just manage the shop here till your mission completed..."

"Alright, Senior..." Le Yang nodded before deciding to ask another thing he was very curious about, "Senior, may I ask one more thing?"

"Go ahead..." Yan Chen nodded.

"Is Lin Feng’s talent really unmatched?"

Yan Chen didn’t answer immediately. He thought for a moment before shaking his head, "It is very hard to achieve what he did, no doubt about it, but it isn’t impossible.

As I have said earlier, there are many refinement techniques in the Heavenly Realm, so he might just be fortunate enough to get one which lets him do the impossible with ease.

Remember this, talent in alchemy isn’t defined by a single factor like the refinement method. You also need understanding in flame control and understanding of the Dao of Alchemy.

If I have to say, then Lin Feng has just been fortunate enough to get a refinement technique which helps him refine three-rune pills easily, but I doubt he would be able to reach four-rune pills or above that easily.

In fact, I am not even envious of his refinement technique. What I really felt envious of was his soul strength.

To be able to control the refinement of four different pills inside a single cauldron is no simple feat..."

Le Yang nodded in understanding. Even refining one pill took a toll on him, so he really could relate with what his senior was saying.
