Chapter 743: with translation of chapter title

Seeing Lin Feng not deny his identity, that Dan clan member immediately smiled and said, "Master Lin Feng, I have been waiting here by order of the clan chief to greet you and escort you to our clan's base."

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng's eyebrows twitched slightly; he hadn't expected the Dan clan to have already sent people to wait for him here.

Immediately, he looked at that person and said, "If so, then please lead the way."

"Please follow me."

As soon as his words fell, that Sixth-Tier Alchemist led Lin Feng forward toward the city gate.

However, as the two gradually approached the city, Lin Feng sensed a faint fluctuation on the city wall.

This fluctuation, though undetectable to ordinary cultivators, could not escape his notice as an Alchemist Grandmaster with a late-stage Soul Realm spirit.

Moreover, as he drew nearer to the city, the fluctuation he sensed grew stronger.

Upon reaching the base of the wall, Lin Feng gazed at the towering blue-stone city wall, hundreds of meters high and reaching the sky, and secretly speculated: "If I'm not mistaken, this Dan City must have been fortified by that Fighting Saint expert of the Dan clan long ago, laying down some defensive measures. In case of emergencies, the Dan clan can activate this defense to tide over crises."

"Master Lin Feng, please."

Just as he was lost in thought, the Sixth-Tier Alchemist beside him suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng turned his head and saw that the former had already cleared a path for them at the city gate guards.

Seeing this, Lin Feng nodded slightly and then strode straight through the wide city gate into the city.

After passing through the gate, what met Lin Feng's eyes were broad streets and a dense crowd of heads.

"Master Lin Feng, this way please."

Upon entering the city, the Dan clan member immediately guided Lin Feng forward toward the city center.

As for Lin Feng, while following the guide, his eyes continually swept the streets on both sides.

He noticed that along both sides of the street there were stalls demarcated by yellow lines.

In these spots, basically each had a vendor setting up shop.

Next, his soul power quietly swept over the stalls on either side of the street.

He found that what they were selling, though insignificant to him now,

but for a Seventh-Tier Alchemist or lower cultivator coming here, they could find many good items.

After walking for a while, the two arrived at the gate of a manor with an extremely large area.

"Old Six, why did you bring back a stranger?"

Seeing the visitor, the two Fighting Emperor guards at the door immediately stepped forward and hurriedly asked.

While speaking, their wary gazes continually scanned Lin Feng back and forth.

Their demeanor suggested that if he showed any abnormality, they would immediately step forward and strike him down.

"You two, be polite—this is Master Lin Feng, an honored guest of the clan chief."

Noticing the guards' attitude, that Sixth-Tier Alchemist immediately warned them.

After all, their clan chief had said that if Lin Feng arrived, he must be brought to the Dan clan to see him.

With the task nearly complete, if those two caused any trouble because of their attitude, he wouldn't even have time to cry.

Upon hearing it was Lin Feng, the two guards were first stunned, then the Dan Assembly Champion—capable of refining eight-tier eight-colored pills, a Fighting Venerable expert in his twenties—

and the information that he was very likely the future husband of their young lady sprang to mind.

Thinking this, the two Dan clan guards hurriedly examined Lin Feng's appearance closely, then compared it with their memory.

After confirming there was no issue, they ceased questioning and quickly made way for the two to enter.

Seeing this, Lin Feng said nothing, merely entering the grand manor with a calm demeanor.

"How enviable it would be if the young lady were willing to marry me."

Watching the departing Lin Feng, one of the guards shook his head helplessly and said.

Regarding Dan Chen, who possesses both beauty, figure, and talent, which young person in the Dan clan wouldn't covet her?

Yet in the end, the benefit went to an outsider.

"That's simple; I can actually help you fulfill that wish."

Looking at his companion ahead, the other guard gave an evil smile and said.

Upon hearing that, the guard in front's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked, "Really?"

"Really."

The other guard nodded, then drew his weapon from his spatial ring—a spiked club.

After waving it a few times, he continued, "As long as you let me hit your head with it once, you'll immediately see the young lady in your dream."

While speaking, the former also pointed specifically at his hand, which held the spiked club.

"Get lost, you thick spiked club—with that swing you'll probably kill me."

Looking at the club as thick as his thigh, the front guard replied irritably.

Having said that, he ran back to his post.

"What's there to fear? I guarantee I'll control the force—at most I'll turn you into a vegetable, and you definitely won't die."

"Get lost—you don't believe me? Wait a moment, I'll shove this two-meter-plus coiling dragon staff from behind and have it come out your mouth."

As the two guards were arguing, Lin Feng, upon entering the Dan clan manor, immediately felt waves of rich medicinal fragrance shooting straight into his nostrils as if it were free.

Feeling this, Lin Feng looked around and discovered that the vast manor was practically covered everywhere with various medicinal herbs.

Whether along the roadsides, beside the resting pavilions, or atop the artificial hills, almost everything was occupied by various medicinal herbs.

With so many medicinal herbs gathered in one place, countless strands of faint fragrance combined together.

In the low airspace a few meters above the Dan clan manor, a light cyan mist formed, just enough to envelop the entire manor.

"You Dan clan use a large amount of medicinal herbs to decorate your residence—quite a clever method, as it serves both to adorn the buildings and, when needed for alchemy, to harvest them on the spot."

Gazing at the scenery before him, Lin Feng spoke with a tone of admiration.

At the same time, he decided in his heart that after this Soul Hall operation, he would establish his own power in the Central Continent.

When the time comes, he will, like this Dan family, decorate with medicinal herbs.

"Hehe, it's just a few small tricks."

As soon as the former finished speaking, a faint, hoarse voice sounded ahead of the two.

Lin Feng was not surprised at the newcomer.

After all, he had long sensed the other's presence using the soul power of his late‑stage Spiritual Realm.

And upon seeing the former materialize, he also cast his gaze toward him.

At about a hundred meters ahead of them, a white‑haired man in his thirties wearing a Dan Tower Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemist robe stood there.

However, although the former appeared to be only in his thirties, Lin Feng knew through soul perception that

the former's true age could rival ten of him.

Seeing the newcomer clearly, the Sixth Grade Alchemist stepped forward at once and introduced to Lin Feng: "Master Lin Feng, this is my second elder of the Dan family, a Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemist whose battle Qi strength has reached four‑star Dou Zun."

"Hehe, you kid, don't say it out loud and make me look bad. Lin Feng, even at such a young age, you can already forge pills of the Bodhi Pill grade. Compared with this several‑hundred‑year‑old old man who can only refine Seventh Grade pills, I don't know how strong you have become."

Hearing that, the second elder of the Dan family immediately gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying,

"Seeing the former, I always feel that in these several hundred years I've lived like a dog."

And while smirking, he couldn't help feeling a bit envious of the former's talent.

After regaining his composure, the Dan family's second elder shook his head again, shaking off the stray thoughts.

"You go down first."

Immediately after, he looked at the Sixth Grade Alchemist and said,

"Yes."

The Sixth Grade Alchemist, upon hearing this, made a bow and then left.

As for the second elder of the Dan family, after the former departed, he turned his head toward Lin Feng and said, "Let's go; the clan chief should already be waiting for you in the reception hall now."
