After the two chatted for a while longer, Lin Feng once again returned to the main hall. However, at this moment, the Three Leaders of the Pill Tower had already disappeared, leaving only the two Elders of the Small Pill Tower behind.
"Is the matter resolved?"
Seeing Lin Feng's return, the thin old man immediately asked.
"It's already settled."
Lin Feng replied with a nod.
The other elder spoke faintly, "Since that's the case, let's go."
As he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a strange fluctuation slowly spread out from in front of him. As the space around them began to ripple and twist, within moments it transformed into a slowly rotating spatial tunnel.
"Let's go."
Opening the space passage, the Elder spoke calmly, then stepped into it first.
Seeing this, Lin Feng tapped his toes lightly on the ground, and his body swiftly shot into the spatial tunnel. As soon as he entered, the space tunnel instantly vanished without a trace.
After the brief transmission through the tunnel, which lasted less than a minute, the light before Lin Feng's eyes suddenly brightened sharply. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing atop a massive green peak that soared straight into the clouds.
As he looked around, he saw thick clouds and mist coiling about, giving off a transcendent, ethereal feeling.
"What a rich medicinal aroma!"
Coming back to his senses, Lin Feng sniffed the air, his face showing a trace of surprise.
Even though he had already known this place would be extraordinary, actually standing here still made him sigh in admiration. Sweeping his gaze around, he saw that the entire mountain was covered with countless medicinal gardens.
One after another, rare herbs that would be difficult to find in the outside world were growing here in large patches.
"All these gardens have their own owners. They're the lifeblood of those old fellows."
Seeing Lin Feng's astonished expression, the thin old man reminded him.
Hearing that, Lin Feng turned his head and smiled, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. But after all this time, I still don't know how to address you properly."
"Hehe, you can just call me Elder Sikong. As for him, his surname is Shi."
The thin old man chuckled and introduced himself, then turned toward the other elder beside him and said, "Old Shi, go ahead and take care of your own matters. As for this little guy, I'll take him over."
"Alright."
Hearing the suggestion, the Elder named Shi nodded lightly. His figure quickly faded and then disappeared completely from sight.
"Follow me."
Elder Sikong smiled and lifted his foot, flying toward the mountain peak.
Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly followed close behind. Along the way, he noticed that amid the lush sea of medicinal herbs, there were some elderly figures moving around.
Although these Elders looked like mere herb farmers tending their fields, Lin Feng didn't dare to underestimate them. After all, anyone allowed to enter this place—besides them younger ones—would never be weak.
After traveling through several mountain paths, the group finally stopped at the summit. Looking around, Lin Feng saw a not-so-large square atop the peak. On the square, more than ten young men and women were seated together, listening intently to an elder speaking.
However, when they saw Elder Sikong flying over with Lin Feng, the Elder stopped his lecture and turned his gaze toward them.
The group of young people followed suit, turning to look at Lin Feng. When they saw this youth, who appeared to be around their age, all of them showed surprise. After all, it had been quite a few years since the Small Pill Tower had accepted any new members.
So now, upon seeing Lin Feng, their eyes naturally carried a trace of curiosity.
"Whoosh~"
Not long after, with two light sounds of air being split, Elder Sikong and Lin Feng landed in front of the group.
"Elder Sikong, is this the newcomer who took part in today's assessment?"
That elder glanced at Lin Feng, then smiled as he spoke.
"That's right. His name is Lin Feng. He's already passed the assessment, so I brought him here."
Elder Sikong then turned to Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, from now on, you're learning here in the Pill Tower will be under his supervision. I'll take my leave first."
As soon as his voice fell, Elder Sikong's figure began to fade rapidly, and then he vanished completely.
Seeing this, a hint of helplessness flashed across Lin Feng's eyes. These old men really were unpredictable — they appeared and disappeared like ghosts.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed two familiar figures sitting among the group — Dan Chen and Cao Ying. When Dan Chen saw Lin Feng's gaze sweep over, her pink lips curved slightly as she smiled and greeted him with a nod.
As for Cao Ying, she was much bolder. When she noticed Lin Feng's eyes land on her, her bright, alluring eyes blinked playfully in a teasing manner.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes at her, clearly annoyed, silently blaming her for tricking him last time.
However, not far from Cao Ying, a young man in black noticed the interaction between them. He immediately turned toward Lin Feng, and a flicker of hostility flashed in his eyes.
"Cough, cough~"
At this time, the Elder cleared his throat and spoke, "Lin Feng, you probably don't have a place to stay yet, so you can temporarily stay—"
"Elder Zhong, there's a vacant room next to mine. Lin Feng can stay there. I can take him over."
Before the Elder could finish, Cao Ying suddenly stood up and offered.
The surrounding people were instantly stunned. Their expressions shifted dramatically as their gazes swept back and forth between Lin Feng and Cao Ying.
This seductive witch from the Cao Family might seem friendly on the surface, but having studied alongside her for so long, they had never once seen her take the initiative to get close to any man.
Dan Chen, sitting beside Cao Ying, narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly when she saw this. Recalling her brother's earlier words, telling her to build a good relationship with Lin Feng, she couldn't help but cast a wary glance at Cao Ying.
"In that case, let's do as Cao girl suggested. You've just arrived today, so get some rest first. Come back here tomorrow morning for assembly."
The Elder, called Zhong Lao, was momentarily stunned, but then nodded in agreement.
Afterward, he turned to Lin Feng and said, "By the way, from now on, just call me Elder Zhong like the others."
"Understood, Elder Zhong."
Lin Feng nodded, cupping his fists politely.
To him, it didn't matter who led him to his quarters — it was all the same. Once he agreed, Cao Ying smiled sweetly. Her delicate face carried a touch of enchanting allure. That faint smile of hers was enough to make countless men lose their composure.
Then she walked over to Lin Feng's side, her rosy lips slightly curved as she said, "Since Mister Lin Feng has no objections, shall we head out now?"
At this, the faces of several men around them darkened, their eyes filled with hostility. After all, whether it was her clan background, appearance, or talent, Cao Ying was undoubtedly one of the best.
Many of the men present were pursuing her — for both affection and advantage. Now that they saw Lin Feng and Cao Ying already knew each other, they naturally viewed him as a rival.
