Hearing the words spoken by the former, the cold-faced woman's expression immediately tightened. She did not speak.
A moment later, the cold woman opened her mouth again, "Right now, how many strong experts does that Lin Feng have by his side?"
"A few days ago, the last report from our scout said Lin Feng left Holy Pill City alone and is currently staying at the Dan Clan. As for today, I'm not sure yet."
The yellow-robed woman replied quickly.
"Dan Clan?"
Hearing those two words, the cold woman narrowed her eyes slightly and repeated them under her breath.
Immediately after, she shook her head and rejected the idea, "We shouldn't make any reckless moves for now. Those alchemists from the Dan Clan—sure, their combat strength is inferior to ours, but their Soul Perception is absurdly strong.
If you approach rashly and get discovered, and they activate the means left behind by their ancestors, then even someone like you, a Ban Sheng, could end up dying."
Although she was very fond of that old guy Yao Chen, this junior sister who had followed her for hundreds of years was also extremely precious to her. Faced with such an uncertain situation, she naturally would not let her junior sister take the risk.
After that, her palm clenched tightly, and she said in a deep tone, "We'll wait until the right opportunity. Then we'll kill Lin Feng in one strike and eliminate a major threat for that brat Xiao Yan!"
At this moment, the yellow-robed woman added, "Right, Xuan Kongzi also said that after we kill Lin Feng, he hopes we can pass the Green Lotus Core Flame, Bone Chilling Flame, and Three Thousand Burning Flame to Xiao Yan. As compensation, they'll give us three nine-colored eighth-tier pills that have already gone through the nine-colored Pill Lightning."
"Heh, three nine-colored eighth-tier pills? That seductive fox Xuan Yi is surprisingly generous."
The cold woman let out a low laugh, clearly not fond of Xuan Yi at all.
The yellow-robed woman was equally surprised that the Three Pill Tower's Three Leaders were willing to take out three nine-colored eighth-tier pills. After all, the ingredients needed for such pills were extremely rare and precious.
One nine-colored eighth-tier pill required at least several hundred extremely valuable medicinal ingredients. Just a single set of ingredients for one such pill would be enough to bankrupt most Nine Change Dou Zuns.
Moreover, even though Xuan Kongzi and the other two were master-level alchemists, the failure rate for refining such high-grade pills was still incredibly high. At this moment, the cold woman frowned slightly.
"The Bone Chilling Flame isn't that old Yao Chen's Heavenly Flame? It shouldn't be in Xiao Yan's hands. How did it end up with Lin Feng?"
"I investigated the past conflict between Xiao Yan and Lin Feng in detail. It seems that over a year ago, Xiao Yan took some people and tried to ambush Lin Feng but failed. He was captured for a period of time. Could it be that during that time, Lin Feng took the Bone Chilling Flame from him?"
The yellow woman recalled and offered her guess.
Hearing this, the cold woman slowly nodded and said nothing more. Because she had been in closed-door cultivation trying to break through to Advanced Ban Sheng, she wasn't clear about events on the continent. Only now, after listening to her junior sister, did she learn of all this.
However, just as the two of them were still discussing how to kill Lin Feng, their target—after several days of travel—successfully exited the spatial wormhole. With his figure flashing across the air, Lin Feng finally landed on a cyan-stone floor.
He looked ahead and saw towering buildings and wide streets stretching far into the distance. Seeing this, Lin Feng finally understood. The spatial wormhole exit in Cao City, unlike the one in Dan City, was located in a corner inside the city.
He then brushed across his Storage Ring and retrieved a map. Upon seeing the Cao Clan's address specially marked on it, Lin Feng put it away. His figure blurred, leaving behind afterimages as he sped toward the distant streets.
At this speed, Lin Feng needed less than a moment before arriving before a massive, gold-and-jade-shining building. At this moment, outside the building's front gates, a huge crowd had already gathered.
At the same time, the surrounding streets were filled with streams of people continuously moving toward this luxurious estate. The endless flow of people had caused the entire street to become congested.
When Lin Feng saw the plaque above the main gate engraved with the characters "Cao Clan," he knew that he had reached his destination.
"This Cao Clan's decorating style is really just like their personality—flashy."
After confirming that this was indeed the Cao Clan estate, Lin Feng couldn't help but shake his head.
Although the Cao Clan wasn't stronger than the Dan Clan, their temperament was far worse. Among the younger generation, probably only Cao Xiu and Cao Ying could be considered decent.
As for the others, based on what he'd observed during his time living in Holy Pill City, they were basically all… not great.
"Forget it, I'm not the head of the Cao Clan. Whatever kind of temper they have has nothing to do with me. I should focus on my own business first."
Lin Feng shook his head, pushing away the stray thoughts in his mind, then walked toward the Cao Clan's gates. But before he could get far, the waves of people surging in from all directions blocked him right in the middle.
"You've got to be kidding me… just to attend a banquet, I have to line up?"
Seeing the people in front moving slower than ants, Lin Feng's eye twitched, and he couldn't help complaining. If this place weren't so crowded, he would have shouted, "I'm a Pill Tower candidate! Everyone make way!"
"Hey, kid, which hole did you crawl out from? How can you say something that clueless?"
Just as his voice fell, a young male voice sounded from his right.
Lin Feng turned to look and saw a young man in his early twenties staring at him with open disdain. Judging from that arrogant expression, he was obviously another pampered second-generation young master raised in someone's palm.
Seeing Lin Feng look over, the man jabbed a thumb at the plaque hanging above the Cao Clan gate and snapped, "You don't even know where this is? This is the Pill Tower's Cao Clan. Even in the entire Central Plains, they're one of the most famous alchemist clans!"
Hearing that, the bored bystanders—who had stuck their heads out to watch the scene—nodded in agreement. After all, the Cao Clan really was one of the top alchemist families in the Central Plains.
Otherwise, why would all these people spend months traveling across the continent just to celebrate the Cao Clan head's birthday… all for the slim chance the Cao Clan might agree to refine a pill for them.
The young man retracted his finger and looked at Lin Feng. "Do you know how many experts come to the Cao Clan every single day to beg for pills?"
"Uh… that, I really don't know."
Lin Feng shook his head honestly.
But then he thought—this person wasn't insulting him, and he himself was bored anyway. So he looked at the young man and said, "But if you're so interested, you can keep me company while I'm stuck in line. Later I can help you ask Cao Ying."
The moment those words came out, the faces of the surrounding spectators twitched violently. Obviously none of them believed this young brat could know that demonic genius of the Cao Clan, Cao Ying. Her pursuers could line up for hundreds of miles.
Meanwhile this kid didn't even have a bodyguard worth looking at. How could he possibly know such a heavenly beauty?
"Tch, you're young, but you brag even harder than I do."
The young man clearly didn't believe him. He tilted his head confidently and said, "Looking at how clueless you are, if you actually know Miss Cao Ying, I'll pull it out right here and eat it on the spot!"
"?!"
Lin Feng's jaw dropped uncontrollably.
"You—even if you don't believe me, you don't need to make it that extreme."
After a long moment, Lin Feng finally regained his senses and said blankly.
At this moment, the way he looked at the young man changed instantly—into admiration. Because in front of someone who claims he can pull it out and then eat it…Even as an eighth-tier alchemist, Lin Feng had no choice but to say he was impressed.
