Chapter 31: Lin Feng, Get Out Here!

Cultivating an alchemist, the most important thing is the accumulation of experience.

In this process, countless spirit herbs must be consumed.

But spirit herbs can still be bought with spirit stones, whereas pill recipes are the closely guarded secrets of every great alchemist.

Especially recipes for advanced pills — those are regarded by alchemists as matters of life and death.

This is also why alchemists are so precious.

The higher the star rating, the more pill recipes one masters; if you obtain their inheritance, that's a stroke of tremendous fortune.

Now the system has done it all in one step — one- to three-star pill recipes are all complete.

Among them are Body Tempering Pills, Foundation Building Pills, Meridian Opening Pills, Spirit Mansion Pills, and so on — these are exactly the pills the Lin Family needs most right now.

At this moment, Lin Yan absorbed the spirit qi.

The flame vortex on his brow extinguished, but when he opened his eyes, fierce flames burned within his pupils.

This is the special talent of an alchemist.

Having done all this, Lin Yan had already stabilized his cultivation; overjoyed, he looked straight at Lin Feng.

He saw Lin Feng watching him with a smile, as if everything had been within his expectations.

"Clan Leader! I succeeded!"

At last, a touch of youthful vigor appeared on Lin Yan's face.

"Not bad!"

Lin Feng smiled and patted his shoulder, his eyes filled with gratification.

To make the family grow strong, relying solely on powerful cultivators would be too one-sided.

Only by developing on all fronts and recruiting talents from every direction can the family flourish for generations.

With the system's aid, Lin Feng could naturally fleece it for more to nurture clan members.

"Clan Leader, leave the matter of training Lin Yan to me!" Lin Zhengshang said excitedly.

How could Lin Feng not know what he was thinking.

The other had clearly set his sights on Lin Yan's exploitable value.

"No need. From now on, he'll cultivate at the Back Mountain, and I'll personally train him." Lin Feng waved his hand.

"Clan Leader, you don't have any pill recipes or spirit herbs either — how will you train Lin Yan? Don't go and twist our Lin Family genius the wrong way…"

Lin Zhengshang muttered quietly, but Lin Feng paid him no attention at all.

"Thank you, Clan Leader, for your cultivation!"

Lin Yan excitedly clenched his fists; on that face that had shown no joy for years, exhilaration was written all over.

Five years — at last he could astonish the world, and never again care about others' gazes.

"Third Elder, remember to tell the Elder this good news — he's still at the Spirit Mine!"

Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling everyone to withdraw.

But just then, a clamor of noise came from outside.

At the Lin Family's main gate, a tremendous boom rang out.

"Bang!"

Dust billowed in all directions, and every Lin Family clan member looked toward the gate.

"Who's causing trouble at my Lin Family? Could there still be remnants of the Qin Family?"

Lin Zhengshang started slightly, his expression flustered: "Could it be the Liu Family? Their marriage alliance failed, so they turned right around to take revenge?"

"What's there to panic about?"

Lin Feng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Even if the Liu Family comes to make trouble, what has my Lin Family to fear!"

At this moment, a clan member rushed in in a panic, shouting urgently: "Clan Leader, it's the Zhou Family — the Zhou Family's Ancestor has come!"

"He even brought Ji Bo of Qingyun Sect, saying he'll level our Lin Family!"

Hearing these words, a sharp gleam burst from Lin Feng's eyes.

"What's there to panic about!"

Lin Feng had long been prepared — the matter of the Spirit Mine couldn't be kept hidden.

The Zhou Family had lost so many people; it would be strange if they didn't come for revenge!

"Come with me to take a look."

At the Lin Family's main gate, Zhou Family Ancestor Zhou Tong wore a murderous look, surging waves of force rolling off his entire body; the terrifying pressure left everyone afraid to even draw a breath.

"Lin Feng, get out here!"

Zhou Tong roared, his voice thundering like a storm.

Ji Bo smirked at the side, his eyes brimming with excitement.

Before long, Lin Feng arrived; when he saw Zhou Tong, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.

Enlightenment Realm Second Layer cultivation… no wonder the Zhou Family could unify Liuhuo City — they do have some strength.

Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze indifferent: "Isn't this the Zhou Family Ancestor? What business brings you to my Lin Family?"

"Lin Feng, you killed my Zhou Family's Clan Leader and stole my Spirit Mine — you deserve ten thousand deaths!"

Without waiting for an explanation, Zhou Tong stepped forward and struck out with a palm.

The Lin Family crowd's expressions shifted in shock — was Zhou Tong's temper really that explosive?

But Lin Feng had long been on guard; this old thing had come bearing killing intent, his purpose was murder — yet a mere Enlightenment Realm Second Layer was no match for him at all.

"Die!"

Dense spirit qi manifested around Zhou Tong's body, and his withered, emaciated arm bulged with protruding veins.

Lin Feng took half a step back, dodging the strike.

Then he spun and threw a punch straight into Zhou Tong's chest.

"Pfft—"

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out. Zhou Tong's eyes went wide, and he staggered back several steps in shock.

Lin Feng gave a cold laugh. "Nothing more than this."

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

Ji Bo was slightly startled—he hadn't expected Zhou Tong to take a hit. Could it be that even Zhou Tong couldn't handle Lin Feng?

Zhou Tong shook his head. "Don't worry. I was merely testing his strength just now."

That punch had been calculated by Zhou Tong—he'd taken the hit on purpose to gauge Lin Feng's strength, and now he had a clear picture in his mind.

Lin Feng was the same as him—both at Enlightenment Realm Second Layer.

"I see. Senior Brother is truly thorough in his work." Ji Bo wiped a cold sweat from his brow, then laughed.

At once, he stepped forward, jabbed a finger at Lin Feng, and began cursing wildly. "Lin Feng, you dog of a thief! You killed my Qingyun Sect disciples, seized the Zhou Family's Spirit Mine, slaughtered Zhou Family clan members—your crimes are monstrous!"

"Kneel and admit your wrongs now, and perhaps you'll still have a slim chance of survival."

Seeing it was Ji Bo, a sudden chill flashed through Lin Feng's eyes.

"I let you go back then out of respect for Qingyun Sect. Now that you've come back, you're walking the road to your own death!"

At this moment, Lin Feng's gaze was like a sword, chilling Ji Bo to the bone.

But the moment he thought of Zhou Tong standing beside him, he felt no fear at all.

"Hmph! Your Lin Family acts with such viciousness—it's your lot that's walking the road to death!"

"Today is the day you die!"

After Ji Bo finished speaking, he strutted about, arrogantly searching everywhere for any trace of Lin Xuan.

"Ji Bo, you are utterly rude!"

Lin Zhengshang was so angry his whole body trembled. "The grudge between Qin Long and my Lin Family has a long history—it has nothing to do with Qingyun Sect."

"Our killing Qin Long was perfectly justified. Have you already forgotten when you and Qin Long were like dogs biting each other?"

But just then, Spirit Qi erupted from Zhou Tong's body, and with a sudden explosive boom, it cut off Lin Zhengshang's accusations mid-sentence.

Then he stepped forward, hands clasped behind his back, his face full of contempt. "I don't care about your grievances!"

"Today, I want only one outcome—the annihilation of the Lin Family!"

Once these words spread, more and more people gathered around the Lin Family.

The Lin Family stood supreme in Ziyun City—such a spectacle wasn't something one saw every day.

Even from the City Lord's Manor, people stood watching from afar.

"The Lin Family is in trouble again." Ziyun City Lord Shen Ao sneered.

Beside him stood a figure in a black robe, wearing a Bronze Mask, his face impossible to make out.

"Pill Master Gu Dan, once the Zhou Family wipes out the Lin Family, we'll go find that disciple you've taken a liking to!"

"As for the Lin Family, they're not worth saving."

Shen Ao's expression gradually turned fawning, but the black-robed figure remained unmoved.

"Then I'll follow the City Lord's lead."

Gu Dan cared nothing for the Lin Family's fate. In his eyes, the entire Lin Family was not as important as the person he had his eye on.
