Chapter 678: with translation of chapter title

Upon hearing Dan Chen's words, Cao Ying's devastatingly beautiful face, which could bring ruin to the country and its people, also showed a hint of regret.

As described earlier, their five great families, at their peak, were struck by Soul Hall until they had no successors.

Even after a thousand years to this day, they have not been able to recover to the strength of their former heyday.

Besides Dou Sheng experts, even Half-Saints have not appeared.

"Of course, our ability to reach that height back then also thanks to our Dan family's ancestors from a few years ago, Ancestor Dan Yitian."

"If it weren't for him relying back then on his astonishing talent to create numerous useful alchemy techniques, and leaving behind countless alchemy experiences of his own and gathered from others, we would not have been able to ultimately turn into an alchemy clan."

When mentioning the peak, Dan Chen couldn't help but think of that person who had the greatest influence on the Dan family, and spoke with a hint of admiration.

If not for that ancestor, their Dan family might have already vanished in the river of time.

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he immediately asked: "What happened to him afterwards?"

Dan Yitian

Dan Yitian

Dan Yitian

Dan Realm

Dan Assembly

Fighting Saint

Fighting Emperor

And seeing that, Cao Ying also stared back, not willing to be outdone.

Seven-Stage Initial

Three Thousand Blazing Flame Fire

We've lost so many strong experts—what about compensation!

Although the energy here is exceptionally abundant, it contains many violent factors; it seems this is the reason for the Dan Realm's decline.

Seeing the two women ahead with swords drawn, Lin Feng grabbed at the empty space before him, then shifted the topic.

At the same time, he also from the words of the two people ahead.

He guessed that the current Dan and Cao families seemed unaware of the news about that Dou Saint relic.

Therefore, he also let out a big sigh of relief.

After all, it's better that fewer people know this kind of news.

"Let's go, Xiao Yan is about to slip out of our perception."

At this moment, Xiao Yixian suddenly spoke up to remind.

Hearing the former's concern for Xiao Yan's whereabouts, Cao Ying asked curiously: "Could it be that you intend to assassinate Xiao Yan within the Dan Realm to avenge past grievances?"

Upon hearing that, Dan Chen also turned her head to look at Lin Feng.

"That's not it; I did this because, earlier, using my soul power, I faintly sensed that several Soul Hall members had mixed into the Dan Assembly."

Lin Feng shook his head, then casually made up an excuse, saying: "The reason I want to follow Xiao Yan is because I think those Soul Hall people might be planning some action within the Dan Realm, and that guy Xiao Yan, who previously clashed intensely with the Soul Hall, is likely also a target. So I want to join the fun, see if there's any good show to watch, hehe."

Saying that, Lin Feng gave a wicked laugh.

"Soul Hall people?!"

Hearing that this was the enemy most hated by many in the Dan Tower, Cao Ying and Dan Chen exclaimed in surprise.

They had been sitting in that open space for so long, yet they hadn't noticed this at all.

However, Cao Ying thought of Soul Hall's usual modus operandi.

When facing the Ninth-ranked Strange Fire, the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire, they are likely to be tempted.

Now coming to stir up trouble, that makes sense.

And since Cao Ying and Dan Chen have a very poor relationship with the Soul Hall, they naturally do not want the Soul Hall's plan to succeed.

But thinking that they were still participating in the Dan Assembly, after a brief consideration, Cao Ying lightly opened her lips and said: "The medicinal herbs we need to find haven't been sought yet. Moreover, this time's limit is only ten days; why don't we split up—you follow Xiao Yan, and we'll look for the herbs?"

After all, Lin Feng is a Dou Zun expert; having him follow is the safest choice.

But if even that fails, her going together with Dan Chen would likely just be delivering themselves as casualties.

"That works."

Lin Feng, upon hearing that, immediately nodded and agreed.

Immediately afterward, he looked at Ye Xinlan and said: "Xinlan, you first follow them; if you encounter danger, you can crush the spatial jade slip I gave you."

"Mm."

Hearing that, Ye Xinlan nodded slightly, then responded.

Seeing this, Lin Feng's figure flickered and he disappeared from the spot.

According to his perception of Xiao Yan's position, he gave chase.

As for the other four women, they flew off in another direction under Cao Ying's lead.

After all, regarding this Dan Realm, these people from the Five Great Families are the most familiar.

Therefore, it's best for them to lead the way.

"Swish-swish~"

However, Lin Feng had not yet caught up to Xiao Yan; he only saw that the space before him suddenly rippled with distortions.

Immediately, beneath what looked like a sand dune, a huge python several dozen meters long burst out like lightning.

Its bloody maw wide open, it lunged straight at his head.

However, this sudden change did not cause any emotional fluctuation in him, nor did he panic.

Because, relying on his powerful soul power, he had long detected a seventh-rank initial-stage serpentine magical beast lurking beneath the ground.

However, he wanted to catch up to Xiao Yan quickly, so he didn't bother with it.

But since this beast insists on seeking death, Lin Feng certainly won't be polite.

"Die!"

With a cold shout from Lin Feng's mouth, a mighty Battle Qi silken thread instantly formed before him out of thin air and then shot out violently.

The next moment, it fiercely struck the giant python's head.

The fierce force made the giant python's head go bang and burst open, unable to resist.

"Huh, I didn't expect this snake-type magic beast to be an earth yellow python."

Lin Feng glanced at the giant python's corpse, and a sharp light quickly flashed in his eyes.

He rose from the lowest level to an eighth-rank alchemist, having read many pharmacology books along the way.

He had seen in a book that wherever an earth yellow python appears, earth yellow essence must exist.

However, this earth yellow python differs only minutely from an ordinary giant python.

It is indeed hard for those who haven't examined it closely to tell it apart.

As for the earth yellow essence, it is a rare medicinal material formed by the condensation of earth's power.

During cultivation or if a breakthrough fails, should internal energy surge.

Directly using this earth yellow essence, or refining it into medicinal pills for consumption, can produce a good suppressive effect.

Even high-quality ones, if taken by a Battle Venerable expert, have considerable effects.

Thinking of that extremely precious medicinal material, Lin Feng immediately waved his palm and directly hurled the huge giant python away.

As the earth yellow python's corpse was hurled far away, a pit suddenly appeared beneath the sand dune where it had lived.

In that pit lay a deep-yellow root as big as a human head, appearing before Lin Feng's eyes.

"What a huge earth yellow essence!"

Gazing at that human-head-sized deep-yellow root, a flash of surprise and joy crossed Lin Feng's eyes.

"A hundred-year-old earth yellow essence is usually only fist-sized, but unexpectedly this piece has grown to human-head size, truly astonishing. It must have taken at least a thousand years to grow this large. If left out in the open, it would surely draw fights from some Battle Venerable experts."

The former fixed his gaze on the yellow root in the pit, speaking with extreme delight.

He also hadn't expected that he merely discovered Soul Hall secretly tailing Xiao Yan, initially just wanting to see if he could gain any benefit from it.

But instead, on the way, he encountered such precious medicinal material.

"Kid, you dare snatch the medicinal material we found first? Die!"

But just as the former was feeling delighted over his luck, an angry shout suddenly came from behind.
