After speaking, the Elder had just turned around when his body suddenly paused. He added, "And Chen'er, she returned to the Dan Clan from the Small Pill Tower a few days ago."
As soon as his voice fell, his figure blurred into a string of afterimages as he shot forward. Hearing this, Lin Feng cupped his fists slightly and said, "Thank you for informing me, Elder."
While speaking, his figure followed unhurriedly behind the Dan Clan's Second Elder.
Although his Dou Qi cultivation wasn't as strong as the Elder's, when it came to speed, with the many methods he possessed, he wasn't inferior at all.
With both of them moving extremely fast, not even a minute passed before the Second Elder brought Lin Feng to a wooden hall that looked ancient and elegant. Then, under the attention of everyone inside the hall, Lin Feng followed the Second Elder and slowly walked in.
The moment he entered, Lin Feng's eyes landed on the white-robed man seated at the main seat. This man had dark black hair and looked a few years younger than the Dan Clan's Second Elder. However, his strength was far above the Second Elder's.
"Peak Dou Zun, mid-stage Spirit Realm soul. Looks like this is the Dan Clan's Clan Leader. As for that mature woman seated below him, her strength is only a bit weaker than his. Based on the typical hierarchy of the Dou Qi Continent, she should be the Dan Clan's Grand Elder."
Lin Feng's gaze swept quickly over everyone present before finally stopping on the Clan Leader and the graceful mature woman beneath him who wore a simple blue dress. He made his judgment silently in his heart.
At the same time, he couldn't help but once again sigh inwardly. The Dan Clan truly deserved its reputation as one of the famous alchemist clans of Central Plains. Up to now, he had already encountered three eighth-tier alchemists from the Dan Clan.
One had to remember, the Dan Clan was a family, not a sect that gathered geniuses from everywhere. A family without the support of a Dou Di bloodline, yet able to produce three eighth-tier alchemists at the same time, was already extraordinary.
Moreover, based on Lin Feng's observation, the Dan Clan's Clan Leader looked to be only a bit over two hundred years old, and he wasn't too far from the late-stage of the Spirit Realm.
From this situation, once the Dan Clan Ancestor's lifespan ran out, the Clan Leader should be fully capable of inheriting the Small Pill Tower's quota, ensuring the Dan Clan wouldn't decline like the Ye Clan.
"Clan Leader, I've brought Lin Feng."
While Lin Feng was still sighing inwardly, the Second Elder cupped his hands respectfully toward the man seated at the main position.
Hearing this, the eyes of the Dan Clan's upper members seated in the front rows all gathered on Lin Feng instantly. After all, they had all heard the rumors that Lin Feng had refined an eight-colored eighth-tier pill during the Pill Gathering a few days ago.
This explosive news was met with heavy skepticism from most people who hadn't seen Lin Feng refining pills with their own eyes. Which was normal. Ever since the ancient Dou Di experts disappeared, geniuses of that level basically never appeared again.
Now hearing that someone in his twenties could already refine an eight-colored eighth-tier pill, it was natural that they didn't believe it. However, the moment their gazes fell on Lin Feng, some of the stronger Dan Clan upper members felt a faint pressure emanating from him.
"Late-stage Spirit Realm soul!"
Feeling that pressure from deep within their consciousness, their eyes widened slightly in shock as they murmured to themselves. As alchemists, they understood better than anyone that this pressure did not come from Dou Qi… but from his soul!
Immediately, those who knew what this meant looked at Lin Feng with far more seriousness. On the Dou Qi Continent, strength commanded respect. Facing someone whose alchemy skill far surpassed their own, they naturally wouldn't dare show disrespect.
As for the Dan Clan's Clan Leader, he didn't show any coldness. Instead, he stood up with a friendly expression and said, "Lin Feng, you're here. Have a seat."
As he spoke, he gestured toward an empty seat on the side.
"Thank you, senior."
Lin Feng cupped his fists politely.
Even though his alchemy rank surpassed the Clan Leader's, the other party was still the head of the Dan Chen Family. Since he was coming here to propose marriage, he naturally needed to show proper respect.
After speaking, he looked toward the empty seat and immediately noticed that sitting beside it was Dan Chen, whom he hadn't seen for days. Right now, the little girl's pretty face was tinged with red.
She didn't dare look up at him, only lowering her head quietly as she sat in her seat. Of course, Lin Feng also noticed that the little girl would occasionally sneak a glance at him from the corner of her eye.
But unlike Dan Chen, the moment the Dan Clan's Clan Leader told Lin Feng to sit beside her, all the young members of the Dan Clan around them had their eyes instantly turn blood-red.
One by one, they stared at Lin Feng without blinking, their eyes filled with such overflowing jealousy that it looked like they wanted to glare him to death.
"Looks like this little girl is pretty popular in the Dan Clan."
Sensing the numerous jealous gazes around him, Lin Feng chuckled inwardly.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Dan Chen's appearance and figure were top-tier, and on top of that, she possessed a special physique that could naturally absorb other people's soul power.
With such a unique talent, the little girl had already stepped into the rank of an eighth-tier alchemist before even turning twenty. If she continued growing like this, she might very well have the potential to become a ninth-tier Profound Pill Alchemy Grandmaster in the future.
A girl with beauty, figure, and talent all in one—who wouldn't want to marry someone like that?
In the next moment, Lin Feng's figure flickered. Before the young members of the Dan Clan could even react, he was already seated in the empty spot beside the adorable Dan Chen.
"What fast speed. No wonder when Xiao Yan led people to ambush him back then, he was able to use various methods to kill that Six-Star Dou Zun."
Seeing his terrifying speed with their own eyes, a few elders of the Pill Tower seated in the hall couldn't help but be shaken. The Dan Clan had naturally investigated some of Lin Feng's battle feats ahead of time.
The deeper they investigated, the more shocked the Dan Clan's upper members became. After all, ten years ago, Lin Feng had still been working as a porter in a merchant guild in a nameless little city inside a nameless tiny country in the Northwestern Region.
Yet, in these mere ten years—which for them wasn't even long enough for a single secluded cultivation session—he had forcefully risen from the very bottom of the Dou Qi Continent's borderlands, all the way to becoming the brightest talent in the entire Central Plains, widely acknowledged as the number one genius of the present era.
After all, looking at the entire Central Plains now, it was almost impossible to find a genius more dazzling than him!
Of course, when they said "genius," they weren't including those from ancient clans who shot up in strength purely because of their bloodlines. After Lin Feng sat down, Dan Chen, who sat beside him, instantly went bright red.
Even though she tried her hardest to control her emotions, once she thought about how she would soon marry Lin Feng, have children with him, and grow old together…
That little face of hers—so cute that one would want to hold it in the palm of their hand and play with it gently—became redder and redder, completely out of her control. There was even a faint wisp of heat rising from her cheeks.
Lin Feng couldn't help but show a hint of amusement in his eyes as he saw this. Having spent a few months with her at the Small Pill Tower, he knew very well how this girl loved to secretly fantasize about things all by herself.
Judging from this expression, she was probably thinking about something very embarrassing right about now.
