Chapter 217: The Best Gift

However, just at this moment, Lin Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Who said I didn't prepare a gift?"

"Could it be that you prepared one?" Sun Shaohu asked.

"Of course I prepared one, look at what this is!"

As Lin Feng spoke, he raised his right hand and turned his wrist over.

When he opened his palm, a bead with a bright red luster appeared before everyone's eyes.

Sun Shaohu laughed out loud: "Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng, it would be one thing if you didn't prepare a gift, but now you're actually trying to fool us with a glass marble that children play with; how are you not ashamed? You're killing me, this is too hilarious..."

The surrounding guests also burst into loud laughter, and some even cast contemptuous glances at Lin Feng.

Lin Jingying looked at the object in Lin Feng's palm, then sneered and said, "You have no eye for quality; where is this a glass marble for children to play with? This is clearly a Spirit Pill!"

Hearing the two words "Spirit Pill," Sun Shaohu's expression changed drastically.

And the guests present all revealed looks of shock.

Holding the Spirit Pill, Lin Feng strode to the front of Zhou Zhitian and said, "That's right, this is precisely the Spirit Pill I meticulously refined, named First Grade Qi and Blood Pill. It has the effect of replenishing Qi and blood, and at a critical moment, it can even be used to save one's life."

"The Head of the Zhou Family looks young, appearing to be only thirty-four or thirty-five, but in reality, you are already forty. Although you cannot be considered old, you are no longer in your prime, so it is quite necessary to replenish your Qi and blood."

Having said this, Lin Feng placed the First Grade Qi and Blood Pill into Zhou Zhitian's hand.

"Mr. Lin, is this truly the legendary Spirit Pill?" Zhou Zhitian asked in surprise.

"Would I lie to you?" Lin Feng said.

"Good, I will trust you once!"

As soon as Zhou Zhitian finished speaking, he stuffed the Spirit Pill Lin Feng had given him into his mouth and swallowed it with a gulp.

The moment the medicinal pill fell into his stomach, it suddenly exploded, turning into a surging hot current that swept through his entire body.

Zhou Zhitian immediately let out a muffled groan, his body trembled slightly, and the skin all over his body flushed bright red!

Cheng Shishi also felt at this moment that Zhou Zhitian's hand had become scalding hot, like a red-hot branding iron, so she asked in a panic, "Zhitian, are you alright?"

Suddenly, a wave of True Qi erupted from within Zhou Zhitian's body, causing a gust of wind in the surroundings that swept across the entire hall.

Afterwards, Zhou Zhitian laughed loudly and said, "I'm fine, I'm better than ever! I actually broke through my realm and became a Martial Venerable Mid-Stage!"

Zhou Zhitian was originally at the Martial Venerable Third Layer; after taking Lin Feng's pill, he broke through from the Martial Venerable Third Layer to the Martial Venerable Fourth Layer, and the Martial Venerable Fourth Layer is the Martial Venerable Mid-Stage!

At this very moment, Zhou Zhitian was incomparably excited.

After all, he had not made any progress for a very long time, and he even felt that his potential had been exhausted and that he could only stop here for the rest of his life.

As a result, he had taken a step forward today; how could this not make him overjoyed!

Lin Jingying asked curiously, "Junior Brother, that Spirit Pill of yours should be a Blood Qi Pill, right? Since when can Blood Qi Pills help a Martial Artist improve their realm?"

"I also find it strange; a Blood Qi Pill shouldn't have such a powerful effect... Could it be that the Head of the Zhou Family had hidden injuries in his body?" Lin Feng said.

Zhou Zhitian, of course, heard the conversation between Lin Jingying and Lin Feng.

Zhou Zhitian laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Lin, what you said is not false; I do indeed have hidden injuries! In my early years, I was impulsive and irritable, not knowing how to restrain myself, and I went everywhere looking for people to spar and challenge. Over time, it was inevitable that I would be left with some injuries that were difficult to treat."

"Perhaps it was precisely because these injuries were holding me back that I was so long unable to break through. But after just taking your Spirit Pill, the Qi and blood in my body were replenished, and most of my hidden injuries were actually healed. I broke through without even realizing it!"

"Hahahaha, Mr. Lin, this pill of yours is indeed a legendary Spirit Pill; the effect is truly overbearing!"

Seeing Zhou Zhitian so happy, Cheng Shishi also became happy along with him, smiling from ear to ear.

And the guests present were all incomparably shocked.

"I now announce that the pill Mr. Lin gave me is the best gift I have received today! I have finished speaking; who among you agrees and who opposes?" Zhou Zhitian asked with a smile.

As soon as Zhou Zhitian finished speaking, the guests present all nodded repeatedly.

"I agree! Mr. Lin's Spirit Pill has truly opened my eyes!"

"That's right, something like a Spirit Pill is not something that can be bought with money!"

"I do not oppose, I have no objections."

Hearing the words of these guests around him, Sun Shaohu's complexion was unusually poor.

He had originally wanted to give Lin Feng a hard time, but as a result, he had instead let Lin Feng steal the spotlight; he was practically dying of anger!

"Mr. Sun, do you have any objections?" Zhou Zhitian asked.

Sun Shaohu gritted his teeth before finally saying, "I have no objections; Mr. Lin's Spirit Pill has left me completely convinced."

"Good, then let this matter end here."

Zhou Zhitian moved past this topic and then began to discuss matters regarding the Commercial Federation with the guests present.

This had nothing to do with Lin Feng, nor did it have anything to do with Lei Dong and Lin Jingying.

Lin Feng then left this place together with Lin Wei and Lin Jingying, returning to the long table to eat and chat.

Lei Dong also followed over, wanting to join this small circle of Lin Feng and the others.

"Junior Brother, you are actually able to refine Spirit Pills?" Lin Jingying asked in surprise.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I refined Spirit Pills back on the mountain; it's not like you don't know, Senior Sister, why are you so surprised?"

"On the mountain and off the mountain are two different things; there is no pill furnace here," Lin Jingying said.

Lin Feng said, "I have already mastered the alchemy technique of the Palm True Fire Five Finger Melting Furnace; even without a pill furnace, I can still refine Spirit Pills, and furthermore... who said I don't have a pill furnace?"

Lei Dong laughed, "A few days ago, I gave Mr. Lin a pill furnace; Mr. Lin, you used that pill furnace to refine the pill, right?"

"Exactly, many thanks for the pill furnace, Chief Lei," Lin Feng said, cupping his hands.

Lei Dong hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, you are being too polite. You helped me solve the missing persons case, and I gave you a pill furnace; this is something we had already agreed upon, you don't need to thank me."

"As the saying goes, a precious sword should be gifted to a hero; good things must fall into the hands of those who know how to use them to realize their value. If I hadn't given that pill furnace to you, it would just be a lump of iron, of no use at all."

Upon learning that Lin Feng's pill furnace was a gift from Lei Dong, the look in Lin Jingying's eyes when she looked at Lei Dong immediately became much kinder than before.

Half an hour passed, and this birthday banquet had basically entered its final stages.

Lin Feng was just pondering whether he should take his leave at this time, when unexpectedly, a cold and sinister aura suddenly emanated from a corner of the hall.

And that aura was rapidly approaching Zhou Zhitian in the crowd, so Lin Feng subconsciously let out a sharp shout: "Head of the Zhou Family, there is an assassin hiding in the hall, be careful!"

Almost at the same time, a black shadow suddenly lunged out from the corner, sprinting wildly toward Zhou Zhitian!

Fortunately, Lin Feng had given a warning in advance, which allowed Zhou Zhitian to react in time, hurriedly retreating several steps to create some distance and buy himself time.
