Chapter 35: Even Being Low-Key Should Have a Limit!

"Knowing your mistake is enough." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

Since Ziyun City Lord Shen Ao had admitted his fault, Lin Feng was naturally happy to take the easy way out.

Among the surrounding onlookers, many spies had their eyes gleaming as they quietly withdrew.

What had happened today must be reported to their families as soon as possible.

The Ziyun City Lin Family had completely risen. Not only had they wiped out the Zhou Family, even the Alchemy Elder of Xuntian Sect treated them with great respect.

From now on, when encountering members of the Lin Family, it was best not to provoke them!

"Pill Master Gu Dan has come from afar; why not come inside for a cup of tea?" Lin Zhengshang said politely.

"That would be fine, though I came today without a gift prepared, which is truly abrupt." Pill Master Gu Dan said apologetically. He wanted to properly probe the Lin Family's background.

Such an ancient family—if he could understand them clearly, it might benefit him as well.

Lin Feng led the group straight into the Lin Family.

The moment Pill Master Gu Dan entered, he frowned slightly.

Generally, powerful forces would construct a Spirit Gathering Array to absorb the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth, creating the appearance of a Blessed Land and Grotto Heaven.

Living within it, one would feel Spirit Qi rushing at one's face, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

Even the City Lord's Manor of Ziyun City had a small Spirit Gathering Formation, but the Lin Family did not.

This was strange. They could easily repair even a shattered dantian, yet they had no Spirit Gathering Formation?

"What is Pill Master Gu Dan looking for?" Lin Feng asked, somewhat puzzled, seeing Pill Master Gu Dan looking around.

"Lin Clan Leader, your Lin Family is very low-key. To blend into the lives of ordinary people, you've even shut down your Spirit Gathering Formation." Pill Master Gu Dan said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Lin Feng secretly pondered in his heart.

"Right! Why didn't I think of that!"

There were many ways to raise the strength of Clan Members—enhancing their physique and Comprehension, using Pills—all of which required no small cost.

But with a Spirit Gathering Formation, as long as the Lin Family's Clan Members lived within it, even without Lin Feng interfering in their cultivation—

Over time, they would undergo tremendous transformation.

"Pill Master Gu Dan jests. Where would our Lin Family be worthy of using a Spirit Gathering Formation!" Lin Zhengshang said with a smile.

Inscribing a Spirit Gathering Formation was extremely difficult; even the Liuhuo City Zhou Family had never possessed one.

"Keep pretending! Keep on pretending!"

The corner of Pill Master Gu Dan's mouth twitched; in his heart, he didn't believe a word of it.

Lin Yan's dantian was shattered, and even the sect behind Pill Master Gu Dan couldn't easily solve this problem, yet the Lin Family had handled it casually.

Such a force couldn't afford a Spirit Gathering Formation?

Even being low-key should have a limit!

This little interlude didn't affect anything, and soon the group arrived at the Front Hall.

At this moment, Lin Xuan walked out. Seeing so many people had come, she was suddenly in high spirits and came over to join the fun.

"Clan Leader! Where are my Pills!"

Lin Xuan stretched out her little hand and said, pouting her lips in displeasure.

"Xuan'er, don't be naughty!"

Lin Zhengshang gave a start and hurriedly walked over to take Lin Xuan away.

Lin Feng smiled and stopped Lin Zhengshang.

"Third Elder, it's just a few Pills. Our Lin Family can still afford that."

As he spoke, Lin Feng took out a bottle, inside which were a hundred Void Spirit Pills.

The system had just rewarded two hundred Void Spirit Pills, so now he could feed this greedy little girl Lin Xuan to her heart's content.

This action drew the attention of Shen Ao and Pill Master Gu Dan.

Lin Xuan, overjoyed, opened the bottle cap and poured out a Pill.

The instant the cap was opened, a waft of medicinal fragrance spread throughout the hall, causing Pill Master Gu Dan to shudder all over upon smelling it.

His pupils constricted, and the face beneath that Bronze Mask became extraordinarily solemn.

"Such medicinal fragrance—what grade of Pill is this!"

Pill Master Gu Dan was inwardly shocked. He was a Four-Star Alchemist, and naturally very sensitive to Pills.

When Lin Xuan picked up the Pill, Pill Master Gu Dan finally got a clear look.

But the less he looked, the better; after seeing it, his whole person felt terrible.

"A Five-Star Pill, a Void Spirit Pill?!"

Pill Master Gu Dan cried out, standing up abruptly, spilling tea all over himself.

"Master, what is the matter with you?" Lin Feng asked with a strange expression.

Isn't it just one Pill?

Is it worth getting so worked up?

"Lin Clan Leader, giving such a Pill to a junior—is that really appropriate..." Pill Master Gu Dan said, his heart aching terribly.

That was a Five-Star Pill!

Moreover, it was a Void Spirit Pill—each one consumed could slightly strengthen the physique and enhance the body.

Such Pills were extremely rare even throughout the entire Leiling Province.

The young masters and misses of the Three Great Families of Leiling Province also wanted to take Void Spirit Pills and had sought out Pill Master Gu Dan several times.

Unfortunately, Pill Master Gu Dan simply couldn't refine them, and even if one tried to buy them, they were hard to come by even for a thousand gold pieces.

Yet the Lin Family had casually taken them out just like that?

"What? Is there a problem with this medicine?"

Lin Zhengshang grew nervous. His experience was ultimately too shallow — although he was also shocked that Lin Feng could produce Five-Star Pills, he was even more concerned about his daughter's health.

"Naturally there's no problem, it's just…"

Master Gu Dan's mouth twitched at the corner; he didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had already eaten one, and seemed to feel it wasn't satisfying enough.

She was seen dumping out three or four at once, stuffing them all into her mouth.

"Mmph… Daddy, don't save me dinner tonight, this is enough for me."

Lin Xuan's mouth was stuffed full of pills, and she could only speak in broken, halting fragments.

"You greedy girl, always thinking about food!"

"A few hundred pills eaten all at once — won't they burst you?!" Lin Zhengshang scolded, exasperated.

After eating so many Void Spirit Pills, Lin Xuan already had a considerable amount of medicinal energy compressed within her body.

Once the time was ripe, a transformation would occur.

All of this was witnessed by Master Gu Dan, who sat dumbly in the Grand Chair, feeling his entire worldview had been washed clean and rewritten.

Five-Star Void Spirit Pills as a meal!

And she still thought it was perfectly natural!

If the disciples of those Three Great Families in Leiling Province knew of such treatment, they'd be green with envy!

The small doubt Master Gu Dan had harbored moments ago — about the Lin Family lacking a Spirit Gathering Formation — had now completely vanished into thin air.

He only felt that the Lin Family was no mere Ancient Aristocratic Family, but practically a super Ancient Aristocratic Family!

"Master, would you like one? I still have plenty here!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng assumed Master Gu Dan wanted some too, and promptly produced another bottle.

This move left Master Gu Dan thoroughly fried inside and out.

He stammered: "Lin… Lin Clan Leader, your Lin Family is truly… too astonishing."

Lin Feng gave a slight smile. Five-Star Void Spirit Pills were nothing — the system rewarded him with them from time to time, and they were useless to him anyway, so he simply gave them to his Clan Members.

He hadn't expected this gesture would completely break through Master Gu Dan's defenses.

Master Gu Dan took a deep breath, a humble expression on his face, and said: "Lin Clan Leader, since your Lin Family has so many Five-Star Void Spirit Pills, do you happen to have the pill formula for the Void Spirit Pill?"

"Why do you ask?"

Lin Feng's brow furrowed.

He only had the pills, not the formula!

"Lin Clan Leader, to be honest with you, I have always been stuck at the level of a Four-Star Alchemist precisely because I lack a Five-Star pill formula."

"I've barely even seen a Five-Star Pill a handful of times…"

Master Gu Dan gave a bitter smile, then looked at Lin Feng with a glimmer of hope.

"So… I wish to beg you… would you grant me a look at the pill formula?"
