"Third Elder, don't just stand there. Find a seat and sit," the Dan Clan's Clan Leader said with a warm smile after settling Lin Feng down.
Hearing this, the Third Elder cupped his hands slightly, then walked straight to a seat just below the Clan Leader and sat down.
Once he was seated, the Clan Leader once again turned toward Lin Feng with a faint smile: "Lin Feng, congratulations. Because of you, this year's Pill Gathering will surely leave a heavy mark in history."
"Just a little competition between juniors, it doesn't really count for much."
Lin Feng replied calmly.
Several days had already passed since the Pill Gathering. He had long calmed down from the initial excitement, so he naturally wasn't going to show any loss of composure now.
"You kid… you're really too humble. Even if the few of us fought with our lives on the line, we still couldn't refine an eight-colored eighth-tier pill. Yet to you, it's just a small competition."
Hearing him, the Clan Leader couldn't help laughing bitterly.
Around them, many elders of the Dan Clan also had bitter expressions. It genuinely felt like they'd lived all these years for nothing.
Seeing this, Lin Feng shook his head and didn't hide anything.
"That day, my success was entirely due to the Core Mother Jade and the support of my Heavenly Flame, plus the Spirit Nourishment Powder and a bit of luck. If I were to refine it again right now, I might not succeed."
"You really are a lucky kid..."
Even though the Clan Leader had already heard about these heavenly treasures from the Dan Clan members who attended the Pill Gathering, hearing them again directly from Lin Feng still made him feel envious.
Even with the Dan Clan's influence, they had never been able to find these items. Yet Lin Feng had them all by himself. After that, Lin Feng and the upper members of the Dan Clan began chatting—from future aspirations, to alchemy, then from Dou Qi cultivation, to everyday topics.
As the conversation went on, the Clan Leader's way of addressing Lin Feng changed to "nephew." Lin Feng, like Dan Chen, addressed the Clan Leader as "Uncle." Naturally, the two of them deliberately avoided mentioning Dan Chen's parents.
After spending so long in the Pill Regiob, Lin Feng had already learned from others that Dan Chen's mother had her soul instantly drained by her daughter's terrifying physique during childbirth, dying on the spot.
As for her father, struck by the grief of losing his wife, he grew dispirited and his strength declined. Eventually, during one outing, he was killed by the Hall of Souls.
While Lin Feng and the upper elders were chatting, the younger generation of the Dan Clan around them was already starting to doze off. After all, none of the topics were aimed at them, and they didn't care much about such matters.
Time dragged on—how could they not get sleepy?
"I wonder what purpose nephew has in coming to my Dan Clan this time?"
The Clan Leader finally got to the main point after a while. Of course, he already knew perfectly well why Lin Feng had come. But the proper process still had to be followed.
Upon hearing this, the young members who had been half-asleep instantly snapped awake. One pair of eyes after another, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, all landed on Lin Feng. As for Lin Feng, he immediately stood up after hearing the Clan Leader's question.
He took a few steps and stood at the center between the two rows of seats.
"Junior came this time in hopes that Uncle would grant me and Chen'er your blessing—and marry her to me."
As he spoke, Lin Feng gently brushed his storage ring, took out a transparent jade bottle, and presented it forward.
"Please, Uncle, I ask for your approval."
"Whoosh~"
The moment those words fell, Dan Chen—seated nearby—instantly turned as red as a monkey's backside.
But thinking about how she would soon be together with her Brother Lin Feng, her heart was sweet and full of joy. As for the other young members of the Dan Clan, the moment they saw Dan Chen's expression, they all felt a wave of regret pounding in their chests.
They really couldn't understand it. Lin Feng was only a bit stronger than them, his alchemy was only slightly better than theirs, and his status as a Pill Tower Giant candidate was only a little more prestigious.
Aside from those things, they couldn't figure out what else Lin Feng could possibly be better at. Besides, this guy Lin Feng already had so many women. Why did Dan Chen just have to fall for him?
For them, she didn't spare a single glance!
Of course, if Lin Feng knew what these people were thinking in their hearts, he would definitely respond, "I also cultivate Body Refining Dou Techniques. I'm bigger than all of you, and I last longer."
Unlike those younger members whose gazes were glued to Dan Chen, the Dan Clan's Clan Leader and the elders had almost all their attention fixed on the transparent jade bottle in Lin Feng's hand.
Inside was a green pill. Even though the jade bottle isolated it, the instant the pill appeared, everyone around instantly caught a faint fragrance. The moment that fragrance entered their noses, their spirits trembled.
Some who were currently near breakthrough felt the barrier blocking their advancement suddenly loosen by a great margin!
This kind of overwhelming effect immediately made the Clan Leader and the nearby elders think of the same possibility. Then, in disbelief, they said together, "Bodhisattva Pill?!"
"That's right. This pill is exactly the Bodhisattva Pill I refined a few days ago during the Pill Gathering. Although it failed to reach the nine-colored level, its quality among eight-colored pills is definitely top-tier."
Seeing the shock on the faces of the Dan Clan members, Lin Feng smiled calmly and slowly explained the information about the pill in his hand.
After speaking, he once again looked at the Clan Leader seated on the main seat, smiling as he said, "Chen'er and I are deeply fond of each other. I hope Uncle will bless us."
"Woah!"
After hearing the information about the pill, the young members of the Dan Clan around them were all stunned speechless.
Their alchemy skills might only be at sixth- or seventh-tier, but even so, they had still heard of the Bodhisattva Pill—one of the most renowned pills in the entire Dou Qi Continent.
Next, one of them let out a bitter laugh and shook his head with a sigh, "For the sake of Cousin Dan Chen, this Lin Feng is even willing to bring out a precious pill that even ancestors can't obtain. Looks like we really have no chance."
"Yeah. I heard that when a peak Nine-Change Dou Zun is breaking through to Ban Sheng, just consuming this would increase the chance of success by twenty percent. Even if we sold all of us put together, we still wouldn't be able to buy a single pill like this."
As he spoke, the young man shook his head again, utterly defeated.
