In his previous life, Qin Feng had learned the art of the True Demon Seal, a technique that could imprison the souls of living beings. The stronger the caster's soul, the more potent the seal's effect.

As the seal took shape, it swiftly ensnared the Sky Snake phantom within a transparent dome of light, as though it were trapped in an intricate barrier formation. The Sky Snake phantom, severely injured, put up no fight, appearing completely unaware of its entrapment.

"The True Demon Seal might not be able to contain you forever, but it's the only card I have to play," Qin Feng sighed inwardly, his voice tinged with apprehension. The addition of such a fearsome creature to his Sea of Consciousness was cause for concern.

"However, dangerous as it may be to engage with it, the Soul Power it radiates is exactly what I need to strengthen my own soul," he acknowledged with a nod, silently beginning to siphon the "weak" Soul Power emitted by the Sky Snake phantom.

Unnoticed by Qin Feng, as he closed his eyes, the Sky Snake phantom, which had been in a dormant state, suddenly snapped open its eyes. A pair of lightning-like beams shot out, with the intensity to shatter the heavens and the earth. It glanced at Qin Feng's soul but made no move, closing its eyes once again.

Time passed incrementally, and the Soul Power released by the Sky Snake phantom bestowed Qin Feng with tremendous benefits. He spent each day in his Sea of Consciousness, consuming and cultivating, bolstering the strength of his soul.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

...

Half a month passed.

Then, on that day, a powerful aura surged within Qin Feng's Sea of Consciousness, igniting an indescribable feeling within him. A roar, akin to the wrath of an ancient dragon, reverberated as waves of energy washed over him. His hands formed complex seals, and his face beamed with unbridled joy.

His soul seemed to explode beyond its previous limits, expanding at an incredible rate.

"I've finally made a breakthrough—my soul's strength has reached the level of a four-star Pill Refiner!" Qin Feng's lips twisted into a smile of victory, his face radiant with overwhelming delight.

At that exact moment, Liu Xuanqing rushed toward Qin Feng's room, urgency written all over his face.

Qin Feng exhaled a deep, turbid breath.

Half a month had passed in rigorous cultivation. Though Qin Feng's rank remained unchanged, his Soul Power had gained tremendous benefits. He felt a significant shift within his soul, his senses now keener than ever, even surpassing those from his previous life.

"Now, I can rightfully claim the title of a four-star Pill Refiner! Given the proper materials, I have no doubt I can produce Grade Four Pills!"

A wave of satisfaction washed over Qin Feng.

However, his sense of accomplishment was abruptly interrupted by the urgent cries of Liu Xuanqing.

"Young Lord, are you there?"

Qin Feng's expression tightened as he replied with a composed voice, "Come in. What's caused such distress?"

Before he could finish, Liu Xuanqing burst into the room, his face slick with perspiration and breaths coming in short gasps, "Young Lord, it's dire. Members of our Qin family have been assaulted and are seriously wounded!"

"What?"

Qin Feng's concern intensified.

"The Qin family holds a prominent position in Tiangang City. Who would dare to strike at our own?"

"It appears to be the doing of the Ouyang Family. They've long held a grudge against us. The conflict arose from a disagreement over a mine we were both overseeing."

"The deal was for the Ouyang Family to extract from it first, then hand it over to us. But now, they've backed out of the deal!"

"Hmph! The Ouyang Family, naturally!"

A cold resolve settled over Qin Feng's face.

"Let's go take a look!"
