Hearing this, Lin Feng lightly brushed his storage ring and took out four jade bottles, then flicked them toward the old man.
"Heh, I still like straightforward people like you."
After the old man checked the items and confirmed there was no problem, he gave a chuckle, then flicked the scroll in his hand toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng caught the scroll and immediately opened it.
"Soul Marrow Powder, something I casually concocted for juniors. It doesn't really count as a proper pill. Its grade is around high-grade seventh-tier. This powder uses Core Soul Marrow as the main ingredient, combined with hundreds of auxiliary herbs, to maximize the medicinal effect of the Core Soul Marrow."
After reading the introduction written on it, Lin Feng's lips couldn't help but twitch. The scroll was written very casually, but he still felt like the other side was showing off right in his face.
A high-grade seventh-tier level pill formula, and the creator had the nerve to call it something "casually concocted." If this man wasn't a once-in-a-thousand-years alchemy genius, then at the very least, he had to be a mid-grade eighth-tier, maybe even a high-grade eighth-tier alchemist.
Shaking his head, Lin Feng confirmed the soul imprint on the scroll was intact, then stored it inside his storage ring. But after that, he didn't leave right away. Instead, his gaze drifted over the jade platform. Then, he slowly picked up an old, pale yellow bronze piece.
He knew well that since the old man had placed this bronze fragment among such rare herbs for sale, even if he didn't know its true value, at the very least he knew it wasn't ordinary. So, Lin Feng didn't make any unnecessary moves.
As for the old man, things went exactly as he had expected. The moment Lin Feng picked up the bronze piece, he knew Lin Feng was interested in it. After all, the medicinal herbs and pill formula displayed were obviously extraordinary treasures at a single glance.
But this pale yellow bronze fragment looked like trash tossed into a pile of treasure, completely unremarkable. So, anyone who deliberately stared at it for more than a few moments, or picked it up, was most likely interested in it.
Besides, Lin Feng wasn't the only one. Quite a few treasure hunters had asked about its price before, but in the end, none of them actually traded for it. After picking up the bronze piece, Lin Feng lightly rubbed its surface with his fingers.
The coarse texture felt no different from an ordinary piece of bronze. If not for the slightly complex patterns etched upon it—distorted and blotched with rust—no one would treat it as anything of value.
While playing with it, Lin Feng deliberately let those twisted, rust-stained lines fall into his line of sight. After confirming that there was indeed strange powder within those grooves, he looked at the old man and asked, "What's the price for this thing?"
"This bronze piece, though I don't know its exact use, was something I happened to acquire from the same ancient ruin as that pill formula you just traded for. Since it's an ancient relic, you'll need to bring out a formula that interests me if you want to take it."
The shabby old man swept a glance at Lin Feng, chuckled slyly, and spoke.
Finally, a peak seventh-tier alchemist had shown interest in this thing—he naturally wouldn't let go of such a golden opportunity. As soon as those words fell, countless curious and doubtful gazes around them locked onto the bronze piece in Lin Feng's hand.
Everyone knew that if something was related to the word "ancient," then it could never be simple. But still, it was hard to believe that this ordinary-looking old bronze shard could really have anything to do with something ancient.
The moment the old man spoke, Lin Feng immediately guessed his intentions. But as a transmigrator, his greatest advantage was knowing a lot of the plot. Therefore, he was very clear in his heart what kind of pill recipe this old man would be interested in.
After pondering for a while, he finally spoke slowly, "I have a formula for the Elemental Heart Pill, which I can trade with you for this bronze piece. Although this pill is only mid-grade seventh-tier, it can help alchemists stabilize their minds. As an alchemist yourself, you should know its value."
"Of course, if you want to exchange it for one of my high-grade seventh-tier pill formulas, then this deal is off. After all, a proper high-grade seventh-tier formula is extremely valuable. To trade it for some ancient remnant with an unknown purpose, I don't think it's worth it."
Hearing Lin Feng's terms, the old man's eyes lit up.
That Elemental Heart Pill was indeed effective, but because it was useless to alchemists below high-grade seventh-tier and to ordinary cultivators, its recipe was quite rare in the market.
Although he had wanted one for a long time, he had never been able to find it. Now, to use this bronze piece to exchange for it was actually a good choice.
"Alright, I agree."
The shabby old man immediately nodded, agreeing to Lin Feng's condition.
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled faintly. He then lightly brushed his storage ring, taking out a grayish-white scroll. He flicked his finger, sending it flying across.
The old man quickly caught the scroll, then opened it to inspect. After confirming that the soul imprint on the scroll was intact, he put it away, then waved his hand at Lin Feng, signaling him to take the bronze piece.
Lin Feng immediately stored the bronze piece into his ring, then continued leading the two women elsewhere.
"Husband, what's so special about that bronze piece?"
Once they had walked further away, Ye Xin Lan could no longer suppress her curiosity and asked softly.
"I once obtained something similar. Inside, there was a treasure worth as much as an eighth-tier pill."
Lin Feng smiled faintly, then briefly explained the general reason to her.
Hearing this, Ye Xin Lan's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and she became excited. Trading a tier mid-grade seventh-tier pill formula for a treasure worth as much as an eighth-tier pill — that was a return multiplied countless times.
Just as Lin Feng saw her little expression and was about to tease her, he suddenly felt his Heavenly Flame surge violently inside his body. Not just him — even Xiao Yixian, in his arms, sensed the Emperor Spirit Flame within her body suddenly roaring uncontrollably.
"Heavenly Flame!"
The sudden eruption of the flames in their bodies caused both Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian to cry out in surprise inside their hearts. Immediately after, the two of them turned their gazes sharply toward one particular spot.
At the same time, a man at that very place also sensed something unusual. When Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian's eyes landed on him, that man also cast a fiery gaze back at them.
"Xiao Yan?!"
"Lin Feng?!"
When they clearly saw each other's faces, both Lin Feng and Xiao Yan cried out in shock.
As for Xiao Yixian, she did not recognize Xiao Yan. After all, up to this point, she had never once seen him. However, after hearing Lin Feng's startled exclamation, she quickly reacted.
That young man was the enemy of her husband and herself!
