"I want to refine Sea Origin Elixir."
Jiang Feng said calmly.
Hearing this, the master and disciple on the opposite side were a bit surprised but not shocked.
Royal Profound Realm cultivators generally use Primary Spirit Elixirs.
Sea Origin Elixirs are mostly for Divine Sea Realm practitioners.
Maybe Jiang Feng was preparing for the future.
Sea Origin Elixir materials were relatively precious but not excessively so.
"Alright, wait a moment. I, an Old Man..."
Elder Ding was about to start alchemy but was interrupted by Jiang Feng's next action.
"Elder Ding, I have something to give you."
Jiang Feng handed over the IOU.
"Huh...?"
Elder Ding was puzzled.
He waved his hand, and the item flew into his palm.
Upon seeing it clearly, Elder Ding was stunned.
"How did you get this...?!"
"Who is this Old Man Yun to you...?"
Elder Ding's face twisted in a mixture of anger and helplessness.
Xiao Ziyue was shocked watching this.
In all her years with her master, she'd never seen him lose composure.
What was this item Jiang Feng handed over...?
"Elder Yun is sort of a half-master to me. He told me to bring this over..."
"And said I could exchange it for three bottles of Sea Origin Elixir."
Jiang Feng explained truthfully.
Elder Yun's mentorship was indeed half-master level.
"Hmph..."
Elder Ding snorted and his expression changed.
He muttered resentfully, "That old fellow is shameless, immediately asking for three bottles. Damn him!"
"Well, I'll settle accounts with that Old Fellow later."
Elder Ding pinched his fingers and conjured a flame, burning the IOU into ashes.
Then he walked to the alchemy furnace and formed a hand seal.
The furnace roared as flames surged.
The room's temperature rapidly rose.
Elder Ding took alchemy materials from his storage ring, preparing to start.
Jiang Feng stood aside, silently observing.
Since Elder Ding did not ask him to leave, Jiang Feng took it as permission to watch.
Xiao Ziyue noticed the initial materials but didn't suspect anything.
When she saw some very rare ingredients, her brows furrowed.
"True Spirit Flower? Ancient Clear Lotus? Red Origin Fruit...?"
"Master, why do you use such precious materials for Sea Origin Elixir?"
Xiao Ziyue was puzzled.
These three ingredients were not part of the normal Sea Origin Elixir recipe.
Their value alone exceeded that of three bottles of Sea Origin Elixir.
"Normal Sea Origin Elixirs don't require these..."
"But to refine Supreme-Tier Sea Origin Elixir, these three materials are essential..."
Elder Ding explained with a trace of grievance.
Supreme-Tier Sea Origin Elixir...?
Jiang Feng and Xiao Ziyue were shocked.
Elixirs had ranks: Inferior, Middle-Tier, Top-Tier, and Supreme-Tier.
The higher the rank, the better the efficacy and lower the side effects.
An Inferior Sea Origin Elixir could be bought for 500 Mysterious Qi Stones.
A top-Tier one would cost more than 2,000 Mysterious Qi Stones and was hard to find.
Supreme-Tier Sea Origin Elixir was priceless and never sold.
Ordinary people would never bring one out to sell.
That Elder Ding was refining Supreme-Tier Sea Origin Elixirs for Jiang Feng—and three bottles at once—was truly impressive.
Jiang Feng was equally astonished.
The item Elder Yun gave him was heavier than he imagined.
While they marveled, Elder Ding started the alchemy process.
Several materials were thrown in order, hand seals controlled the furnace temperature.
Extracting, blending, condensing, forming Elixirs—all flowed naturally and perfectly.
Jiang Feng watched intently—his first time witnessing alchemy from start to finish.
Over an hour later, under Elder Ding's control, the furnace lid opened.
A strong, pleasant fragrance filled the room.
Ten Elixirs hovered in mid-air, surrounded by flickering flames.
Four Elixirs looked dim, clearly defective.
The remaining six were crystal clear, exquisite, and extraordinary.
"Master, six Supreme-Tier Elixirs formed, your alchemy skill has improved!"
Xiao Ziyue said with admiration.
Though Xiao Ziyue could refine Sea Origin Elixirs, her level only allowed Inferior-Tier.
Elder Ding smiled warmly, quickly placing the Elixirs in a jade bottle.
"Looks like today's luck is good. I'll prepare the second batch."
Without hesitation, he started refining the second batch.
"Senior Sister Xiao, what level alchemist is Elder Ding?"
Jiang Feng curiously asked.
"Ha ha ha... Master is a Rank 7 Alchemist..."
"There are only three Rank 7 Alchemists in the entire Dashang Divine Dynasty."
Xiao Ziyue whispered.
Thanks to her explanation, Jiang Feng understood the alchemist profession roughly.
Alchemists were highly respected everywhere.
They were ranked from one to nine, with nine being highest.
Alchemy required innate talent, extremely rare.
The threshold to start was high, and ascending ranks was very difficult.
Across thousands of sects in the Dashang Divine Dynasty, only three Rank 7 Alchemists existed.
Rank 6 was also below a hundred.
Such scarcity was astonishing.
Training a high-level alchemist required resources beyond even Profound Gang Realm experts' imagination.
Jiang Feng nodded silently, watching Elder Ding's alchemy attentively.
Another hour passed.
The second batch produced seven Supreme-Tier Sea Origin Elixirs.
The master and disciple rejoiced.
Elder Ding's face was radiant.
If he could maintain this success rate, he'd boast to his old friends next time.
As Elder Ding prepared the third batch, a voice sounded.
"Elder Ding, I have an unusual request. Is it proper to speak it?"
