"Senior, please accept it."
Seeing the Cao Clan's Clan Leader's eyes almost bulging out from excitement, Lin Feng chuckled softly.
Hearing this, the other finally came back to his senses. As he took the jade box, he patted Lin Feng's shoulder and said, "Stop calling me Senior. Just call me Father-in-law."
After saying that, he hurriedly took the jade box, unable to hide his joy.
"With this Bodhisattva Seed, we can refine a Bodhisattva Pill for our ancestor. Then our Cao Clan will finally have another Saint-level expert!"
Although a Bodhisattva Seed only increases the chance for a Dou Zun to break into the Ban Sheng Realm, that alone was enough to make the Cao Clan's Clan Leader unable to contain himself.
After all, in Dou Qi cultivation, the stronger you are, the more unimaginable the gap between each realm becomes. If their Cao Clan could produce a Ban Sheng, their status would rise sharply once again.
At that point, those "Three Leaders" of the Pill Tower wouldn't pose any threat to them at all. Thinking of this, the Cao Clan's Clan Leader carefully closed the jade box and quickly stored it into his storage ring.
This little thing was the key to whether the Cao Clan could produce a Ban Sheng. Even if something happened to him, he absolutely couldn't allow the Bodhisattva Seed to suffer even the slightest accident.
But when Cao Ying heard her father's excited words, she immediately reached out a delicate little hand and slapped him on the back. "You old man, do you really like selling your daughter that much?"
"You girl, what do you mean selling? It's marrying!"
The Cao Clan's Clan Leader instantly retorted. Then he muttered under his breath, "I raised you all these years, gave you the best of everything, cost me a fortune, and I can't earn back even a little?"
Although he muttered softly, Cao Ying powerful soul heard every word clearly.
She immediately rolled her eyes. "You old man, were you corrupted by Lin Feng? Since when did your skin get as thick as his?"
Hearing that, Lin Feng, who took a sudden "stray bullet," twitched his mouth. He was known for being honest and reliable. How did he become "thick-skinned" in her mouth?
He then opened his mouth again. "Se—"
The moment he started speaking, he noticed the Cao Clan's Clan Leader's sharp gaze. He quickly changed his words, "Father-in-law, I still have things to do, so I can't stay long. I'll be returning to Holy Pill City soon."
"Returning to Holy Pill City?"
Hearing this, Cao Ying's father froze for a moment before frowning. "Is it necessary to go so soon?"
"Yes."
Lin Feng nodded, showing a trace of helplessness.
After all, he had no idea when Xiao Yan was planning to rescue Yao Chen. So he could only prepare as soon as possible. That way, when Xiao Yan went to rescue his master, Lin Feng could carry out his own plan calmly.
"I see. Since you have matters to handle, I won't force you to stay."
Seeing Lin Feng seem somewhat anxious, the Cao Clan's Clan Leader didn't try to stop him and nodded.
"I also need to go to Holy Pill City, so I might as well go with you."
Just as he finished speaking, Cao Ying's soft, melodious voice echoed inside the room.
Hearing this, the Cao Clan's Clan Leader's eyes immediately brightened, and he laughed, "Exactly. Since Ying'er is also heading to Holy Pill City, and you two are going the same way, you might as well travel together."
"Alright."
Lin Feng had no reason to refuse and agreed with a nod. Seeing him agree, Cao Ying smiled sweetly at Lin Feng.
"In that case, wait for me a moment. I'll go pack a few things."
With that, she gracefully stepped out of the room.
"Lin Feng, you need to be careful in the future. Right now, your relationship with the Pill Tower's Three Leaders is basically irreconcilable. While they can't touch you openly in Holy Pill City, with your current talent, the pressure on them must be enormous. It wouldn't be surprising if they act like cornered dogs."
After Cao Ying disappeared outside the room, the Cao Clan's Clan Leader turned his head and looked at Lin Feng.
"Father-in-law, don't worry. I'm always on guard against those three. When the time comes, I'll settle the final score with them together."
When it came to Xuan Kongzi and the others who had operated in the Pill Region for so many years, Lin Feng naturally didn't dare let down his guard. Even if the former hadn't reminded him, he would still stay wary of those people at all times.
Wasn't it obvious? Even when he broke through to Dou Zun, he quietly found a place where no one was around and advanced there without letting Xuan Kongzi and the others know.
"You just have to be clear about what you're doing. Those three joined the Pill Tower back when they were young."
"After all these years, the connections they've accumulated in the Pill Region are extremely wide. Right now, the only reason they don't dare lay a hand on you is because they fear your identity as a Small Pill Tower disciple."
Speaking up to this point, the Cao Clan's Clan Leader's expression grew heavy. "But your growth speed is completely beyond everyone's expectations. Under this kind of pressure,
I'm afraid that your identity as a Small Pill Tower disciple and as a Pill Tower Leader candidate will rapidly lose its deterrent effect. I think the day you guys completely fall out with each other… won't be far away."
Hearing this, Lin Feng's expression also became extremely serious.
In his heart, he faintly guessed that with how fast he was growing, it would definitely make the heads of the Pill Tower's Three Leaders feel a deathly cloud hanging over them, making them restless day and night.
Therefore, as long as they didn't want to die, they would inevitably be forced to take the risk and kill him, the source of danger.
"But speaking of your feud with Xuan Kongzi and the others, I don't know why, but I always feel like the reason he hasn't come to cause you trouble yet… is because he's waiting for something."
At this moment, the Cao Clan's Clan Leader's puzzled voice once again sounded in the quiet room. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Lin Feng again, his tone serious.
"When I chatted with him before, when we talked about you, although he deliberately tried to hide his emotions, I could still see a bit of confidence on his face."
"The look he had… it was like he felt he would soon be able to deal with you. I think you'd better be extra careful for a while."
"Waiting… and confident he can deal with me?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng muttered softly, and his heart instantly became alert.
After all, based on what he saw with his own eyes, and what he knew from the original story, Xuan Kongzi wasn't the kind of person who bragged nonsense.
If what the Cao Clan's Clan Leader said was true, and Xuan Kongzi really believed he could take him down…then there was a huge possibility that Xuan Kongzi had thought of some method, or had found a new powerhouse to deal with him.
"Don't tell me that even now, there are still people willing to help the Three Leaders deal with me?"
He hadn't expected that even after he displayed such talent during the Pill Gathering, there would still be people willing to help Xuan Kongzi and Xiao Yan deal with him.
But soon, he thought of someone who was still imprisoned by the Hall of Souls—Yao Chen.
