"Miss Xin Lan, long time no see."
Seeing Ye Xin Lan, Lin Feng also replied with a smile.
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the few people standing behind Ye Xin Lan. They were all elders, their strength around Dou Zong level.
Judging by the expressions of the other Ye Clan members, these people clearly held high status within the Ye Clan.
"Right, Brother Lin Feng, let me introduce you."
Seeing Lin Feng's gaze sweep across those behind her, Ye Xin Lan immediately pointed to a one-star Dou Zong elder beside her and said, "This is the Fourth Elder of my Ye Clan."
Then she pointed to two other Three-Star Dou Zong elders and said, "These two are our Third Elder and Second Elder."
Finally, she pointed to the Six-Star Dou Zong elder in green robes and said, "This is the Grand Elder of our Ye Clan, and also my grandfather, Ye Zhong."
Of course, as Ye Xin Lan introduced them, those elders also greeted Lin Feng politely. After all, since they were seventh-tier alchemists, relying on their powerful soul perception, they could faintly sense that Lin Feng and his companions were anything but ordinary.
"Hehe, I am Lin Feng, no need for too many introductions."
After Lin Feng spoke, he pointed to the two at his side and said, "This is my wife, Xiao Yixian, and Tian Huo Zun Zhe."
"Venerable?!"
Hearing those words, the entire Ye Clan group was stunned, their faces instantly filled with shock.
Before this, they had already guessed that Lin Feng and his companions were extraordinary, but they hadn't imagined they would be powerful to such an extent.
Back when the Ye Clan was still flourishing, although they once had many Dou Zun expert in the clan, after their patriarch—an eighth-tier alchemist—died unexpectedly, the family declined in recent years.
As for those Dou Zun expert, they had long since all left. But the word "Venerable," they were very familiar with. Such an existence was absolutely not someone the current Ye Clan could afford to provoke.
Immediately Ye Zhong and the others' expressions grew solemn, and they quickly said to Lin Feng and his group, "Everyone, let's not stand here, please come inside and talk."
"Mm."
Lin Feng and the others nodded, then followed Ye Zhong into the Ye Clan manor.
Arriving at the Ye Clan's council hall, Ye Zhong invited them to sit, then ordered maids to serve fine tea.
After a moment's thought, Lin Feng then said, "The transaction I made with Miss Xin Lan, I presume Elder Ye Zhong is already aware?"
Hearing this, Ye Zhong rubbed his hands together and asked, "May I ask, Mister Lin Feng, what level alchemist are you?"
"Peak seventh-tier."
As soon as he finished speaking, a surging soul power spread from the center of Lin Feng's brows, sweeping swiftly across the entire council hall.
"What a powerful soul power!"
Sensing that sudden, overwhelming wave, the Ye Clan elders' expressions once again turned utterly horrified.
Before,Ye Xin Lan had told them that Lin Feng was only a low-grade seventh-tier alchemist, even showing them the Soul Jade Token.
After examining it, they had unanimously agreed that Lin Feng was indeed low-grade seventh-tier. They originally thought, if Lin Feng could advance to mid-grade seventh-tier before the examination began, that would already be quite impressive.
But they hadn't expected him to have directly leaped to peak seventh-tier. Judging by his appearance, Lin Feng seemed even younger than that witch from the Cao family. Yet in terms of alchemy skills, based on what they knew, the two were at least evenly matched.
Such talent… was truly monstrous!
As for Ye Xin Lan, her stunningly beautiful face was equally filled with shock. She never would have imagined that Lin Feng could break through to such a level in just two years' time.
As for Ye Zhong and the others, after their initial shock, they quickly realized. If Lin Feng were to represent them in the Five Great Clan' assessment, wouldn't victory be almost guaranteed?
At that thought, Ye Zhong began to worry that the conditions they had offered before might no longer be enough.
Gritting his teeth, he finally hardened his heart and said, "As long as Mister Lin Feng agrees to represent my Ye Clan in the Pill Tower's Five Great Clans assessment, this old man will not only open the Ye Clan's Scripture Pavilion to you, allowing Mister Lin Feng to study freely, but I am also willing to recommend you, in the name of the Ye Clan, to enter the Small Pill Tower and learn alchemy!"
After that, Ye Zhong was worried that Lin Feng might not know what the Small Pill Tower was, so he added, "Mister Lin Feng may not have heard of it. The strength of the Pill Tower is not just what is shown on the surface. Those in the Small Pill Tower are the true core of the Pill Tower."
"As for the older generation wanting to enter, there are two requirements. The first, they must be able to refine an eighth-tier pill capable of summoning seven-colored Pill Lightning, and at the same time, their soul realm must have reached the Spirit Realm."
When Lin Feng heard what he said, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
Of course, as a fan of the original story, he naturally knew about this Small Pill Tower. His curiosity came because he had not expected the Pill Tower's Five Great Clans would actually have the authority to recommend people to enter the Small Pill Tower to learn alchemy.
As for Tian Huo Zun Zhe and Xiao Yixian beside him, the two were utterly shocked at this so-called Small Pill Tower.
Before this, they had never heard of such a thing. They had always thought the Pill Tower was only the forces seen on the surface. They never imagined that hidden away in secrecy, there was a Small Pill Tower as well.
At the same time, upon hearing the harsh conditions for entering the Small Pill Tower, both of them couldn't help but click their tongues. A seven-colored eighth-tier alchemist, even Ban Sheng experts would have to show courtesy when they met one.
"I wonder, what conditions does the younger generation need to meet in order to enter that Small Pill Tower to learn alchemy?"
Lin Feng immediately looked at Ye Zhong, asking curiously. Since the Five Great Clans didn't simply stuff their juniors inside at all costs, it was obvious that entering required some hard conditions.
"The Pill Tower's rule is, only those from the Pill Tower or the Five Great Clans who refine a high-grade sixth-tier pill before the age of twenty, or refine a qualified seventh-tier pill before the age of twenty-two, have the right to enter the Small Pill Tower and study advanced alchemy."
Ye Zhong lightly stroked his goatee, then revealed the conditions for entering the Small Pill Tower.
"Hiss~"
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian and Tian Huo Zun Zhe both sucked in a sharp breath. Such conditions were truly harsh to the extreme.
In all their lives, the only one they had ever seen who met those requirements was Lin Feng. And the reason he had achieved this was due to countless fortuitous encounters. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to reach such demanding standards.
"Alright, then it's settled."
After listening, Lin Feng immediately spoke. Hearing his agreement, joy instantly filled the faces of the Ye Clan members.
With Lin Feng's help, the matter of the assessment was essentially secured. The fear and worry that had plagued them for so many years could finally be laid to rest. The massive stone pressing down on their hearts had at last been lifted halfway.
