"Godfather! The man that Long Feng met previously in the Mysterious Peak Treasure Store appears within a very ancient, stone hut made by some leftover of plants, and within, he is speaking with an old man that was sitting before a Clay made cooking Stove, and busy preparing the medicine he wished to appears from the Clay Pot on top of the burning charcoal. "Xiao Long, didn't I tell you before to not speaking too loud whenever you come over to the [Green Emperor Residence]? Keep quiet, or else the others will be disturbed." the old man within the hut softly remind the called Xiao Long, regarding his hasty appearance and loud voice.
As his view turned around to his back, Xiao Long looked at the surrounding and noticed that nothing had been awakened by his loud voice, as he returns to his godfather. "Godfather, I saw that Long Feng kid today," he speaks to the old man as if he know Long Feng from a very long time ago. "Oh, did he pass before you, or he actually accidentally stumbles into your shady little shop?" the old man speaks, but his attention still focused on the Clay Pot on top of the burning charcoal.
"He actually stumbles into my shop, along with his so called wife. I tested both of their personality, and Godfather, you are blessed to have somebody like him. Although that lady potential is not too bad, if she continues without any guidance, her cultivation most probably will stay at the Peak Master Tier." Xiao Long says. "Godfather, do you need me to pay more attention to him? His improvement is barely there, and on his hand, there is only a total of two pieces of Jadestone with him, if he took this kind of time, he would need double the time to succeed you." Xiao Long continues.
"Do not worry, did you forget about this sentence I teach you before? [Friendship First, Foundation Second, Personality Third, Gratitude Fourth, Cultivation Fifth]. Pay attention to what he would like to do next." the old man reminded Xiao Long again on his previous teaching. "Godson will remember Godfather's word. Godfather, can Xiao Long asked one question?" Xiao Long asks for approval before he asks his questions. "Speak, why not." the old man replies.
"Xiao Long couldn't understand the reason why none of the Green Poison Dragon Emperor came here fully awakens?" he asked the question after taking a look at their surroundings. The location where both of them is located is in the middle of a green colored poisonous water. Around them, at least nine to ten hundreds of Green Poison Dragon Emperor is sleeping or walking away after a long sleep, and went to look for food. Due to their huge body, almost encompassing the whole Clear Jade City with its body alone, the moving speed from each of their action seems to be like delayed by minutes.
"This is because the oldest Green Poison Dragon Emperor's is growing up under my care, so of course, it is within their blood that this old man is their ancestor no matter how many generations is born. Other than that, it is because of this [Green Emperor Residence]. The hay roof is made by the strong and sturdy [Heavenly Yellow Hay] from the North, the walls of this residence are made from the fallen scales of [Heavenly Metal Blood Dragon Lord] that only could be seen in the south. Every furniture you could see is made by the [Saint Blood Clay] that only could be found from the west. The soil below where we stand came from the East, and its called as the [Mysterious Jade Soil]. Lastly, is the candle, charcoal, and other tools are made from the [Lava Wax of Sovereign Mountain] in the center of the world." the old man explains.

"If you are amazed by this [Green Emperor Residence], wait until I bring you to the [Blue Sovereign Residence] it would even more surprising." the old man finish his words, as a pill floats from the Clay Pot containing the liquid previously. Slowly floating over to the old man's palm, he holds the Pill with two fingers, and slowly inspect the quality of the pills. "Hmm, not too bad, not too bad. This is good enough to presents to the tenth rate gods." the old man kept the pills within a wooden box that when opened, a total of five tier of storage could be seen, with around 10 pills already refined and kept inside.
"Godfather, you still not yet completed the [Supreme-Rank Prosperity Dan] for the next God and Goddess Gathering Festival?" Xiao Long looked at his godfather and the ten pills within. "Xiao Long, don't be hasty, there are still five years before the next God and Goddess Gathering Festival, the [Supreme-Rank Prosperity Dan] will be completed by then since it is specially made for his majesty, the Jade Emperor, and her majesty, Jade Empress." the old man speaks.
As he turned around and stretch his old body, the old man's identity is revealed. He is the man that met Long Feng in mind previously, the Emperor of Five Grains, Emperor Shennong himself. "Xiao Long, why did I felt you have something you didn't tell me?" Shennong looked at Xiao Long as he talks. "Godfather, I don't want this kid to take too long, so I put some surprises into the box that used to keep the [Spatial Link Twin Grass Ring]." Xiao Long reveals his actions during that fateful day. "Hahaha, I wonder what would that kid do when he sees the surprises. Even trying to give you back is impossible, since your shady little shop always disappeared after you managed to sell something." Shennong chuckle for a few times, as he walked outside the hut.

"Disciple Xiao Feng greets elder." Long Feng stops before the elder and greets him. The elder tilts his head up, and take a clear look on this child he just gave advice days ago. "Child, what brings you here today?" he opened his mouth and speaks. "Dear Elder, Xiao Feng managed to refurbish this [Temperament Sutra] and felt that the knowledge shared within really bring this disciple into his knees. The guidance in tempering is wide, and from this book alone, disciple managed to understand the most important part of cultivation for a Pill Master to thread along on his path." Long Feng honestly share his understanding regarding the book he just refurbishes.
"Since you already understand what I mean, give me the [Temperament Sutra] and also the remaining book." the elder speaks as he lifts his hand, and showing his palm facing up to receive the remaining books from Long Feng. "Elder, did disciple did anything wrong? Please give disciple one more chance!" Long Feng is shocked from the elder's word. "Hah... I will give you something else instead." the elder chuckles for a bit, and convince Long Feng to return the two remaining books. "Elder, here you go." Long Feng hesitates, but without any choice, he put the two book slowly on the elder's hand. With a simple gesture, the two books vanished and the elder stands up straight, and make a few stretching action and also a few kick in the air.
"Come with me." the elder speaks simple, but instantly when Long Feng hears his word, he quickly followed behind the elder. The two of them walked until the back of the Tower of Knowledge, and with a palm strike, the elder opened the secret entrance hidden between the stone walls. "Come in, and be quiet." the elder makes a reminder to Long Feng so he could follow accordingly. The two of them then pass through a passage lightly lit by some shining crystals, and arrived in a small room, about the size of Elder Tang Wen's study room.

"Elder... What is the reason you bring this disciple here?" Long Feng felt weird with what happening to him. Then, the elder pointed at one of the chairs in the middle of the room, while he went over to a shelf beside a wooden bed, and retrieve something from the shelf. Long Feng seats himself on the chair waiting for the elder to speaks, but in the same time, his eyes look across the room and scan its surrounding. "The material used to craft the furniture here is exquisite, and also the shelf where the elder is looking, is full of books, I wonder did he have many special knowledge books that I could read." Long Feng anticipates the upcoming happening that coming to him, unknown that this is going to be one of the most major changes in his life.
"Come here, my child." the elder selects one of the books and turned around to get Long Feng over to his side. "Yes, elder." Long Feng immediately get to the elder's side, and ready to accept the book the elder holds in his hand. "This is a diagram about how to refine an [Elemental Soul Crystal] for elemental tempering. Although this method of tempering your Elemental strength is not well practiced among Pill Masters, I believe with your capability, it would work well for you." the elder passes a book with some drawings and method of refining an [Elemental Soul Crystal].
"You will learn more if you read the book carefully and understands the recipe. Here, take this five crystal first, treat it as a gift from me." the elder wave his hand and five piece of red colored clear crystal falls into Long Feng's hand. Even in its idle condition, the crystal still maintains some remnants of Element Fire Essence within, allowing Long Feng to felt impressed with the crystal's power. "Elder, the disciple does not possess the qualification to accept this five crystals. Please allow Xiao Feng to do something for the elder." Long Feng kneels as he talks. But instead of accepting the crystal back, the elder push it closer to Long Feng's head.
"You already completed two pieces of my works that I already forget a long time ago. If it's not because of your ability to clearly imitates the barely clear words within the books, I'm afraid this two pieces of work I have, would be wasted and lost when I am gone." the elder explains his intention to give Long Feng the five crystals. Even the book he just gave to Long Feng, is not ordinary book either. It is one of the most sought after book related to Refining the [Elemental Soul Crystal], and with a possibility of refining up to Forth-Grade Crystal, which is usable for Pill Masters in their Elder Tier.
"Elder's works? That means this elder, is the Great Elder Ao Luo?" Long Feng finally know the identity behind this mysterious elder. "Yes, I am the person you are looking for, but let us put aside this issue first, I will teach you the way to use the [Elemental Soul Crystal] efficiently, so listen well." the elder put the matter about his identity aside, and start teaching Long Feng the way to activate the crystals.
Since this way of Elemental Tempering is not well known within the crowd among Pill Masters, even the method to use it is barely available in written or guidance. Only a few specific person knows the exact way to activates it, to fully unravel its highest potential during cultivation. First, is the positioning of the Crystals. Although the book in Long Feng's hand does have the information regarding this, by giving out the lesson directly, helps Long Feng to understand deeper behind its meanings. The First formation, is a Pentagon formation. This formation would only work efficiently if the crystals used is within the Major Five Elemental. By placing five Crystals in each curve within the pentagon formation, tempering crystals would be required to activate the crystals. Ten Lower-Ranked Pills, for activation of one minute, Ten Middle-Ranked Pills for activation of two minutes, and Ten Upper-Ranked Pills for activation of three minutes for each crystal. This means, to activate the formation for one minute, a minimum 50 Pills of related Element would be required.
The higher the Grade of the pills used in activation, the more the time double up. Second-Grade pills could last for two, four and six minutes, while Third-Grade pills could last for four, Eight and Twelve minutes. But if the pills used in the tempering process exceed the Grade of the cultivator's strength, the difficulties to temper the element would be increased in double. Not only the cost of activation is enormous, the grade of the crystals does affect the results of the activation as well. A minimum requirement of a Second-Grade crystal is needed if Second-Grade Pills is used, same to the third, and fourth-Grade. Next, is the purity of the crystals. To refine the crystals, a proper ingredient is needed. An ore of [Crystalline Sand], Ten drops of [purest blood in one kind of Elemental Energy], Ten [Wax from Clear Toad Fruit], a minimal 1% purity of a Dragon kind beast's [Essence Blood] is required.
This means, to refine one single crystal, at least hundred or thousands of dragon bloodline beast will need to be hunted, bleeds, refined, and repeat the process again, until a minimal 1% purity [Essence Blood] is obtained. The Ten drops of [Single Elemental Pure Blood] is easily obtained if sources are good, but sometimes, a certain beast is difficult to even located, not to mention killing. The [Wax of Clear Toad Fruit] is easier to obtains, but the item tends to vary in many qualities, making the gathering harder to successfully collected. But out of all, the piece of ore of [Crystalline Sand] is the most difficult to handled item. The ore possesses the attribute of Earth and a vital piece of ingredient for refining a single crystal. The [Crystalline Sand] easily crumbles in the human touch, and difficult to collect when they scattered to the grounds. Due to its amazing neutral magnetic force that rejects human and beast, collecting this or only could be done with sufficient amount of Elemental Energy, to trap it within an element dome until refining is completed.
Although the gathering of the ingredient and preparation is equally hard, the refining process is unexpectedly easy. With all the ingredients is fully prepared, a thorough mixture of everything with a large amount of Elemental Essence will determine their quality and type of Crystal is refined. If the cultivator is an Element Fire affinity cultivator, the crystal would be suitable to accept Element Fire Pills to activate the tempering process. But this is of course if the element of the [Single Elemental Pure Blood] is according to the Element Fire type. Failure is imminent if the cultivator failed to refine the crystal according to the element correctly.
Holding all this information in his heads as he went over to the Thousand Training Formation Cave, Long Feng only managed to get a 5th Heaven Room token. But this doesn't make him felt dejected. Luck comes and goes naturally, and nobody has the way of grabbing it to them. Long Feng entered the room without words, and within, he started with refining the Internal Flame Pill first, and cultivation later.
