As Lin Feng's ambiguous words fell, the two men, who were practically incapable of fighting in front of the main host of the banquet, immediately lost all their fighting spirit.
"Oh haha, young friend Lin Feng, I didn't mean to trick you, it's just that this iron lump Mu Chen beat me to it." Nalan Jie hurriedly explained with a laugh.
"Old fox, young friend Lin Feng, you may not know you, but I know you well, you thick-browed, big-eyed fellow." Mu Chen said casually from the side.
"You, Mu Chen, are you really going to oppose me?"
Seeing that Nalan Jie was showing signs of anger, Mu Chen quickly shifted his gaze, "Haha, Patriarch Nalan misunderstands, I was just informing young friend Lin Feng of the facts." "
You—"
"Seniors, please don't argue," Lin Feng quickly interrupted, seeing the two about to start bickering and seemingly about to fight. After accepting the gifts, he had no interest in watching the two burly men.
"I have deeply appreciated Senior Mu Chen's kind intentions and am very grateful." He first thanked Mu Chen, then, under Mu Chen's smug gaze,
turned to Nalan Jie and said, "To be honest, I do possess the extremely rare five-attribute battle qi. Therefore, I have no way to repay Senior Nalan Jie's great kindness. What you said earlier still stands."
"Wh-what!?" Mu Chen, who was stroking his beard smugly, was stunned. "Five-five-attribute battle qi!?"
"Hahaha, that truly is a treasure matching a talent. This battle qi is rightfully yours, young friend Lin Feng."
Hearing this, Nalan Jie's previously dark face immediately relaxed, his face turning red and then contorting with laughter, making him look exactly like an old monkey.
"Hmph, it's just good luck!" Mu Chen said sourly, his face dark.
"Heh, just sour grapes." Nalan Jie glanced disdainfully at the dark-faced Mu Chen and gently stroked his beard.
"Seniors," Lin Feng quickly changed the subject, seeing the two about to start arguing again, "It's impolite of me to keep our guests at the door. Please, take a seat."
"Since young friend Lin Feng has spoken, I'll spare this rude fellow today." With that, Nalan Jie led the Nalan family members inside first.
"You old fool, explain yourself! What do you mean?" After greeting Lin Feng, Mu Chen led the Mu family members to hurry after them, seemingly wanting to continue the unfinished verbal battle.
"Phew, finally they're gone."
Watching the two groups disappear into the distance, Lin Feng let out a light breath and rubbed his face. "They're really tough to deal with; my smile is so stiff."
"Pfft."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.
"Brother Lin Feng is so funny. I bet you'd love to have this kind of face-straining opportunity every day!"
"Yeah, I saw it clearly when Brother heard Mu Chen talk about the fighting techniques!" Qing Lin chuckled softly.
"Haha, you two have no idea what a huge opportunity you've encountered this time." Looking at the two teasing him, Lin Feng feigned mystery.
"Oh, Brother Lin Feng, while high-level Xuan-rank is precious, there's no need to be so serious about it, is there?" Seeing Lin Feng's serious expression, Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor stopped laughing and quickly asked.
"Do you remember I said there are two ways to cure the Calamity Poison Body?" Seeing their gazes converge, Lin Feng asked a question first.
Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's gloomy expression, Lin Feng forced himself to continue, "But at the time, I was afraid of discouraging you, so I didn't explain it clearly."
"Actually, the Calamity Poison Body will experience several minor outbursts during its growth. And those two solutions are extremely difficult to find."
Perhaps unable to bear seeing Little Fairy Doctor's tears, Lin Feng quickly continued,
"However, with this fighting technique, we don't need to worry at all anymore. We have plenty of time to find those two secret methods."
"Relying on the strange power of the Five Elements Rotation, we can completely seal the Calamity Poison Body's original poison power. As long as my cultivation level remains above Fairy Doctor's, I can keep sealing it."
"Thump!"
Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor could no longer suppress her emotions and rushed into Lin Feng's arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Little Fairy Doctor, sister," Qing Lin silently held Little Fairy Doctor's hand.
He patted the shoulders of the little fairy doctor in his arms, which were heaving from sobbing, and comforted her, "It's alright, fairy doctor. No matter what, brother will always be with you."
"Yes, little fairy doctor, now we have a way to seal it. I believe there will be a way to completely solve it in the future."
"Thank you, brother. Thank you, little sister Qinglin." Lin Feng lifted her tear-streaked face, her eyes red, and said, "I've been causing you all trouble all this time."
He wiped away the tears from the corners of the little fairy doctor's eyes and gently smoothed her hair, which was disheveled from crying.
"Silly girl, you have to believe in brother."
"Yes."
As if the heavens had opened their eyes, the little fairy doctor recovered some of her composure, and then the next guests appeared.
"The Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Ling, has come to celebrate with three batches of ingredients for refining fourth-grade pills."
The congratulatory voice rang out, and then a strange scene appeared before everyone's eyes. A group of white-bearded old men, all dressed in white, slowly appeared.
"White tofu?" A question mark slowly appeared in Lin Feng's mind. Perhaps only Xiao Yan in this world could understand it.
"Hahaha, young friend, you are truly gifted," a hearty laugh rang out as the figure drew closer. "A fourth-grade alchemist at such a young age, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I truly wouldn't believe it."
"Tch, the gifts from the vast Yunlan Sect are not even comparable to those from a Dou Wang family, how stingy." Lin Feng thought to himself with disdain, but his face remained impassive. "Haha, I dare not accept
such praise. I still have much to learn from Master Guhe of your sect." "Young friend Lin Feng is too modest. Even Master Guhe sighed in admiration after hearing your story."
Although stingy in private, Yun Leng's pretense was quite convincing. If Lin Feng hadn't known his true nature, he would have been fooled by his appearance.
"Oh! I didn't expect Master Guhe to have such a high opinion of me. You flatter me." Even if it was just a tiny mosquito offered up, Lin Feng accepted it without hesitation, engaging in mutual flattery. "I've heard that your sect's young sect leader is exceptionally talented; I admire him greatly."
"I didn't expect young friend Lin Feng to know about the young sect leader," Yun Ling said with a hint of surprise. "It's just a pity that the young sect leader is currently in seclusion breaking through, otherwise you young people would have more to talk about than an old man like me."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, watching the Yunlan Sect members walk inside, Lin Feng couldn't help but complain to Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor, "This Yunlan Sect is so stingy," his speechless expression
eliciting giggles from the two.
