Seeing the many puppets that appeared out of thin air in the open space, the surrounding strong individuals from the Small Pill Tower immediately swarmed over.
Some of those who already had some understanding of the Sky Demon Puppets began picking through them directly. As for the unfamiliar strong ones, they curiously walked up to the puppets, knocking and tapping them to inspect.
Of course, the majority of people were gathered around the four golden Sky Demon Puppets, discussing animatedly. From time to time, someone would point between the two types of puppets, seemingly comparing their differences.
"Kid, not bad. You actually brought so many puppets from the Ancient Void Dragon clan this time."
A strong cultivator who had interacted with Lin Feng before stepped forward after chatting with others for a moment and spoke with a smile.
"The Ancient Void Dragons also need pills to advance their ranks. For a mutually beneficial deal like this, of course they're happy to cooperate. Besides, they promised that after I sell all these puppets and deliver the pills, they'll give me some extra benefits."
Seeing the surprised expressions on the surrounding strong men, Lin Feng casually smiled and made up a random excuse.
"No wonder you were in such a good mood. Turns out you got some perks from the Ancient Dragon Clan."
Hearing that, the Pill Tower alchemist smiled faintly and shook his head before starting to pick out the puppets he found suitable.
Of course, none of them cared much about Lin Feng getting extra benefits. As long as they felt the price was fair and the goods were genuine, how much he earned was his own business.
At that moment, an elderly man who had set his eyes on a few silver puppets that seemed quite decent spoke up toward Lin Feng.
"Young man, I'll take these few silver puppets."
"No problem. Same price as before. The silver ones cost three five-colored eighth-tier pills each, and the golden ones go for one seven-colored pill."
Hearing that someone wanted to buy, Lin Feng rubbed his hands together and replied with a smile. Although his voice wasn't loud, it carried far enough for everyone nearby to hear.
The old man nodded, then lightly brushed his storage ring and flicked out a dozen jade bottles. Lin Feng stretched out his hand and caught them with ease.
After the old man made his payment, it triggered a chain reaction. One after another, several alchemists from the Small Pill Tower stepped forward with pills in hand, paying and taking away their chosen puppets.
As for the Sky Demon Puppets, after a heated argument over them, four strong cultivators who managed to secure one each strutted proudly like victorious roosters, joyfully handing Lin Feng a seven-colored pill apiece.
Two of them immediately disappeared afterward—most likely rushing off to test and refine their new Sky Demon Puppets. The other two, however, were surrounded by a group of people who began discussing the puppet's structure in great detail.
"Young man, I just came out of seclusion recently, but I've already heard that these silver puppets of yours can evolve into golden ones. So why is there such a huge difference in price between them?"
Not long after, a man who looked to be around thirty years old stepped forward and asked.
"Senior, the main difference between them lies in their potential for evolution. The silver ones can only evolve up to around a Seven- or Eight-Star Dou Zun level at most. As for those golden puppets—since this batch happens to be of quite high quality—they should be able to evolve up to the Four-Change level."
Sensing the faint yet oppressive spiritual pressure emanating from the man, Lin Feng quickly clasped his hands in respect and answered.
That kind of soul pressure—he hadn't felt it from most of the Small Pill Tower experts present. If his guess was correct, this man's soul realm was likely on par with the Three Leaders—someone who had stepped into the Heaven Realm.
"Oh? These puppets' base strength is only around Three-Star Dou Zun, yet they can improve this much?"
Looking at the two unmoving golden puppets among the crowd, the elder's eyes lit up with interest.
As for Lin Feng, he was filled with confidence regarding this batch of Sky Demon Puppets. After all, the magic cores used in their creation were all acquired by Qing'er from within the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.
The strength this creature possessed before its death was undoubtedly far superior to those magic cores Lin Feng had purchased before, which came from beings of only Three- or Four-Star Dou Zun strength.
In addition, before returning to the Pill Tower, he had asked the Ye Clan to gather a considerable amount of high-quality metallic materials. Therefore, the overall quality of these Sky Demon Puppets was naturally far better than the previous batch.
The man's gaze lingered on the two Sky Demon Puppets for a moment before asking, "Do you have any more of those golden puppets?"
"No, there aren't any left. But there are still a few of the silver ones."
Lin Feng shook his head, then pointed to the three remaining Earth Demon Puppets on the open ground.
Seeing this, the old man sighed helplessly.
He then took out two jade bottles and flicked them toward Lin Feng, speaking as he did so, "I don't have any of those five-colored pills on me right now. But I happen to have two six-colored pills left. I suppose that should be enough to buy one of your puppets."
"Uh… that's a bit too much. Just one will do."
Seeing the two jade bottles flying toward him, Lin Feng's mouth twitched slightly before he spoke, a little dazed.
In the eyes of most alchemists from the Small Pill Tower, although five-colored pills weren't exactly the rarest treasures, they were by no means common items either. Yet judging from this old man's tone, he didn't seem particularly interested in them at all.
"Who exactly is this old man?"
At that thought, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a spark of curiosity in his heart.
"Since I've already given them away, there's no reason to take them back."
As he spoke, the old man's figure suddenly flickered, appearing next to the three Earth Demon Puppets in a ghostly manner. After storing them into his storage ring, the old man was about to leave.
However, just as he lifted his foot, his body suddenly paused. Then he spoke again, "Your matter with Xiao Yan is just about settled. Go to the Grand Elders' Council in a bit. But remember—Xiao Yan has people backing him. Those people are not ones you can afford to offend. When the time comes, know when to stop."
With that said, the old man shook his head, and his figure vanished from Lin Feng's sight.
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Feng roughly guessed that the person just now must have been one of the elders of the Grand Elders' Council.
"Those people… even the Pill Tower can't do much about them. Could it be that Gu Xun'er found out her beloved Brother Xiao Yan was in trouble and came to the Small Pill Tower to stir things up?"
Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, Lin Feng pondered in silence.
Thinking that things might turn out just as he feared, with that troublesome woman interfering, he couldn't help but feel a wave of helplessness.
If it weren't for the fear that the crazy woman would fight him to the death, he would've long since stripped Xiao Yan clean when he captured him, instead of letting him keep his Heavenly Flames.
Although Lin Feng didn't know exactly how many Heavenly Flames Xiao Yan had currently absorbed, judging from the power he had displayed before, it was clearly more than just the Sea Heart Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame.
