Chapter 751: Cao Dong

~6 min read 1,149 words

Of course, Lin Feng on the other side naturally wouldn't know these.

He and Dan Xuan, after passing the inspection by the Cao Clan people, successfully entered the Cao Clan Manor.

And after entering, Lin Feng found it just as crowded inside.

However, this manor was clearly decorated, with red lanterns and red cloth hung everywhere.

Making the vast Cao Clan Manor look filled with joyous cheer.

After all, this is the Dou Qi Continent, not Blue Star.

Therefore, they didn't even write the 'longevity' character.

But speaking of which, the Dou Qi Continent doesn't really emphasize birthdays, and generally doesn't celebrate them.

If one must say, it's only when the younger generation of the family, mostly around twenty years old, holds a ceremony somewhat like a birthday coming-of-age rite.

After that, they basically stopped caring about these matters.

After all, cultivators' lifespans are vastly longer compared to those on Blue Star.

Even celebrating once every ten years can make people feel weary.

Let alone those magic beasts with even longer lifespans.

Of course, there are always exceptions; if something else needs to be announced but isn't suitable to use this as a reason to gather everyone.

Then they might use a birthday or another excuse to gather everyone.

"I'm more familiar with this place; follow me."

After entering, Dan Xuan saw Lin Feng looking around, not knowing where to go, and immediately spoke.

"Good."

The latter also knew it was his first time here, certainly not as familiar as Dan Xuan, and upon hearing his suggestion, immediately nodded in agreement.

Dan Xuan, seeing this, immediately quickened his pace, walking forward along a path inside the courtyard.

As for Lin Feng, after smiling at the old man behind Dan Xuan, he walked forward together with him.

After walking for a while and turning several times, they exited from a small path on the side of a splendid crystal hall.

Seeing the hall appear before him, Lin Feng looked around.

He found that Dan Xuan had brought him straight through a side path, avoiding the crowd on the main road.

"Hehe, Young Master Dan Xuan, after not seeing you for a while, you've become even more handsome; I don't know how many girls will be bewitched by you."

Just as they arrived, a middle-aged fat man wearing Cao Clan attire came up, smiling.

However, perhaps because his eyes were naturally small, when he smiled, only a thin line could be seen on his wide face.

"It turns out to be Uncle Cao Dong; after not seeing you for some days, your strength has become increasingly unfathomable, and us juniors standing before you feel a bit uneasy."

Seeing the visitor, Dan Xuan's handsome face immediately showed a faint smile, and he replied calmly.

The former finished speaking, and the old man behind him also laughed, saying: "That's right; I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, you've reached four-star Dou Zun. It's a rare meeting; after the banquet ends, let's have a sparring match."

Upon hearing that, the fat man named Cao Dong's smile vanished instantly; he bitterly laughed and shook his head wildly: "Old sir, stop using me as a punching bag; every time we spar, my already chubby face gets even bigger."

Seeing his bitter smile, it was clear he had suffered many losses at that old man's hands.

"Hmph, your courage is getting worse, old man; I'm only a seven-star Dou Zun, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing the former shake his head wildly, the old man who came with Dan Xuan's group instantly showed a look of disappointment and snorted: "Moreover, I'm training your strength, not just itching to hit people, that's why I asked you to spar."

Hearing the former's words, the fat man named Cao Dong simply ignored him, firmly refusing to listen to his persuasion.

After all, past beatings taught him that if he agreed, this old man wouldn't stop until he didn't even recognize his own mother.

And the Dan Clan elder, seeing that this fat man had now become clever and wouldn't fall for his tricks, could only return disappointed.

"Hey, Young Master Lin Feng, you've finally come; the clan head was just mentioning you."

As he shook his head, Cao Dong's gaze suddenly caught Lin Feng beside him, and he quickly stepped forward, his eyes narrowing again.

After all, he had received some news that the clan head intended to marry Cao Ying to this Lin Feng.

If this succeeds, Lin Feng would become the Cao Clan's son-in-law, and he naturally ought to treat him carefully.

Besides that, he is also an eighth-grade high-level alchemist.

His status far surpasses that of this mid Dou Zun level of his, reaching who-knows-how-high.

"Um, senior, greetings."

Seeing the overly enthusiastic Cao Dong, Lin Feng replied somewhat uncomfortably.

He always felt that this fat man's attitude toward him was overly enthusiastic.

"Hehe, no need for formalities; come, let's go inside; the clan head is in there."

Saying that, Cao Dong pushed Lin Feng toward the hall.

Of course, during this, he didn't forget to greet Dan Xuan and the other two to come in.

And Dan Xuan, seeing this, also frowned slightly.

He also faintly felt that Cao Dong's attitude toward Lin Feng was a bit overly enthusiastic.

As for Lin Feng, after being pushed into the hall by Cao Dong, he saw that this spacious hall was extremely magnificent.

On the ceiling tens of meters high, the crystal lamps that brightly lit the entire hall were surrounded on the outermost ring by a large number of seventh-rank magic beast cores of various attributes.

These variously colored cores made the crystal lamps' monotonous light become dazzling.

And as Lin Feng's gaze moved to the surrounding walls and the giant pillars supporting the hall,

he discovered that they were inlaid with numerous transparent crystal spheres bearing holes.

And inside each crystal sphere was placed a seventh-grade low-level pill.

A faint medicinal fragrance seeped out from the holes of those crystal spheres, filling the entire hall.

Thus, anyone entering the hall could smell this medicinal aroma.

Next, Lin Feng looked ahead and saw that in the middle of the hall there was a passage several meters wide, its floor covered with a red carpet, leading straight to the main seat.

Moreover, on both sides of the passageway, a row of wooden chairs was placed.

But, Lin Feng and Dan Xuan seem to have arrived a bit late.

At this moment, most of the seats on both sides of the passageway are already occupied.

The remaining seats are now fewer than ten.

Then, Lin Feng lifted his gaze and saw that on the main seat sat a middle-aged man wearing Cao family attire, his face bearing a hint of sternness.

As for the other seat beside him, there sat an elderly man with white hair.
