The Danling Sect was the only one that specialized in alchemy, hence it was an easy task to get all kinds of herbs around it. Within two hours, disciples mobilized by three chief seniors got hold of all types of medicinal materials and spiritual herbs requested by Lin Xiao.

However, apparently, they were only about enough. As Lin Xiao instructed them that they should ensure the number of the medicinal materials first.

The three chief seniors snuck into the Furnace Hall through a tiny opening of the gate.

Right then the disciples waiting outside managed to capture the spectacle and went struck-dumb forthwith all the fire crystal stones were floating up in the air.

As the gate of the Furnace Hall was shut, a disciple outside suddenly uttered, "Ouch! My stomach is misbehaving now!" Then he rushed off with his hand covering his tummy.

In an instant, the disciple appeared behind the back of a figure, cap in hand, and reported, "Shan Chengfeng was indeed at the Furnace Hall. He had all the fire crystal stones float in the air and form into various patterns. That was totally beyond me, hence I couldn't tell what he was up to."

The figure replied in an indignant tone, with a tense murderous air about him, "There are millions of the fire crystal stones in the Furnace Hall. And he could take all of them under control and conjure up numberless patterns out of them. It seems that Shan Chengfeng the bastard has made loads of progress in alchemy. How come the damn Li Taixuan should keep him here!"

Overwhelmed by the irresistible murderous vibe, the disciple flopped onto the floor, with waves of quivers running through his body.

"Rewind right now. Keep me posted with everything important," the figure commanded and went off without a trace.

Getting back on his own feet in quivers, the disciple just realized his body was all drenched in cold sweat. He shivered with cold as a puff of wind came by.

After looking around, he rushed back in a haste.

Right then at the Furnace Hall, the three chief seniors were blown away by Lin Xiao 's awe-inspiring expertise across the board.

If they had had no idea about the exact number of people present in the Furnace Hall, they would have pictured Shan Chengfeng juggling the fire crystal stones as well.

Albeit ignorant about alchemy, they were aware that no regular alchemist had what it took to take such a great number of the fire crystal stones.

On their coming back to their senses, they cast a look of admiration at Lin Xiao simultaneously.

Although terribly caught up with Lin Xiao's otherworldly techniques, they remained sticklers for their duties and stepped out of the Furnace Hall unswervingly.

Before leaving, they looked over at Wu Gui and Wang Di, envy welling up in their eyes.

At the moment, the three chief seniors wished if only they could have been Lin Xiao's assistants instead.

As the gate of the Furnace Hall closed up by the floating fire crystal stones, they remained in front of it, wishing the spectacle could have last forever.

In the meantime, inside the Furnace Hall, Lin Xiao somehow directly took in the fire crystal stones steered by Wu Gui and Wang Di.

The two finally came back to themselves and spotted Lin Xiao performing the Fire Control Mudras with one hand and categorizing medicinal materials with the other.

They got thrilled by Lin Xiao's expertise right away.

Nevertheless, they soon came back to their practice again, as Lin Xiao's elixir refinement eventually kicked off.
