Hearing those words, the old woman's face instantly darkened, as if she'd just lost her parents.
But, considering Feng Qing'er's identity, she could only obediently shut her mouth.
Her dry, withered hands gripped her cane tightly as she stared at the two of them, inwardly cursing them over and over, wishing for their deal to fail.
"I'll trade you a high-grade seventh-tier Yuan-Boosting Pill. How about it?"
At this mont, Lin Feng, unaware of the old woman's thoughts, pondered briefly before speaking.
That Body Transformation Pill, he still needed for the upcoming auction of the Rank 8 beast fla.
Currently, the highest-tier pill he had on hand was indeed the Yuan-Boosting Pill.
"If this were just a common-attribute High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique, I would have agreed," Feng Qing'er shook her head slightly at his offer, "But as you should know, this kind of attribute is far rarer among high-level Dou Techniques. So your price… isn't enough."
Hearing her refusal, the old woman's deeply wrinkled face imdiately lit up with a sinister smile.
As long as their deal failed — then her opportunity would co!
Lin Feng's brows furrowed slightly as he began running through in his mind what else might interest her.
But very quickly, his confidence returned.
A breakthrough from Dou Huang to Dou Zong was no small hurdle — he refused to believe she wouldn't be tempted.
And besides, pulling in a mber of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan… even if the Gold Swallowing Mouse Clan refused to give him face, they certainly wouldn't dare disrespect Feng Qing'er.
Imdiately, he mobilized his soul power and transmitted a ssage directly into Feng Qing'er's mind.
"…Everything you just said — is it true?"
Upon hearing the contents of his transmission, Feng Qing'er's expression finally showed a trace of surprise as she sought confirmation.
If one could use that kind of energy — naturally accumulated over countless years — to break through to Dou Zong, it was undoubtedly far superior to relying on a Zong Breaking Pill.
Seeing her waver, Lin Feng's lips curled into a confident smile: "I also plan to go there myself to attempt my own breakthrough. Why don't you accompany for now? Once my business here is settled, we can go together. If my information turns out to be false… you may deal with as you wish!"
"…Fine. Then this Dou Technique is yours."
As her crisp voice rang out, the gray-black scroll on the wooden table suddenly flew up, arcing gracefully through the air toward Lin Feng.
Seeing this, he caught it in one swift motion, slipping it into his storage ring under the astonished gaze of the old woman.
Then he retrieved a jade bottle and flicked it toward Feng Qing'er.
As for the old woman's gaze, full of hatred and greed in equal asure — he simply ignored it.
After all, he had long grown accustod to situations like this.
Feng Qing'er took the pill, then stood up and quickly swept all the items on her table into her storage ring.
The reason she had co here in the first place was only to pass the ti.
Now that she'd coincidentally obtained information about breaking through her bottleneck, there was no need for her to stay any longer.
As for Xiao Yixian, when she saw the two of them interacting like this, her delicate face imdiately darkened.
Her gaze toward the long-limbed, beautifully dressed Feng Qing'er also gained a hint of hostility.
"Is this your maid? From the looks of it, she doesn't seem to have been properly trained."
Sensing that faint hostility, Feng Qing'er's expression remained cold as she spoke.
"Hehe, I hope Miss Feng can understand. After all, it's only natural for a wife to feel displeased when another woman suddenly gets close to her husband."
Xiao Yixian stepped up to Lin Feng's side, her jade-like arm slipping around his, her smile pleasant yet laced with thorns.
Hearing this, Feng Qing'er's fine brows knit together slightly.
Although Lin Feng's talent was indeed extraordinary, she was not the kind of woman who would cling to a genius just because of that.
Seeing Xiao Yixian's reaction, Lin Feng let out a faint sigh and lightly tugged on her sleeve, hoping she would calm down.
At the sa ti, a trace of guilt rose in his heart.
After all, his decision to draw Feng Qing'er to his side was, without question, hurting Xiao Yixian.
But to pursue greater power, he had no choice.
If, in the future, Feng Qing'er grew to the proper level and managed to inherit the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's legacy…then she would very likely secure her position as the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan leader.
From there, with the right maneuvers, he might even unite the entire beast race of Central Plains under his banner.
In that case — combined with his current ties to Zi Yan — he should be able to draw in the Ancient Dragon Emperor slumbering in the Ancient God's Cave.
In the future… perhaps he could even compete for that Emperor-Tier Embryonic Pill!
Even if, by then, he had yet to reach the level of Dou Sheng, when the Old Dragon Emperor or Zi Yan advanced to Dou Di using the Embryonic Pill, with his relationship with Zi Yan, he should still be able to get so source qi from it.
If things went that way, the road ahead would essentially be smooth.
Of course, if possible it would be best for him to personally inherit the Tuo She Ancient God's legacy, and then advance to Dou Di himself!
However, between the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan… there was a deep and bloody enmity.
How to handle the relationship between the two clans was also an extrely troubleso problem.
As for the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, as long as Zi Yan beca clan leader, and with Zhu Kun trapped in the Ancient God's Mansion and unable to co out… if he could use this to persuade them, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan would likely be willing to put aside the feud.
The rest of the matters could wait until they rescued the old clan leader.
But the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan… that was the real problem.
If they couldn't push a clan leader with a sufficiently strong bloodline power to the top, it would be impossible.
However, right now… he actually didn't have many other choices left.
After all, Xiao Yan was constantly coveting his Heavenly Fla, while Gu Xun'er was unconditionally loyal to Xiao Yan.
If the Ancient Void Dragon Clan allied with them, he'd probably be even more anxious than the Hun Clan.
Because once a mber of the Gu Clan achieved Dou Di, Xiao Yan would surely have Gu Xun'er call in favors to deal with him—soone cultivating the Fla Mantra.
As for having the Ancient Void Dragon Clan ally with the Hun Clan… heh.
When Hun Tiandi refined the final step of the Emperor-Tier Pill, everyone's end probably wouldn't be much better.
"By the way, I'm Feng Qing'er. I don't know your na yet?"
As Lin Feng was deep in thought, a faintly cold voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
Hearing this, he instinctively looked up, gazing at the noble and proud Feng Qing'er, and replied:
"My na is Lin Feng."
Then, he gestured to the silver-haired woman at his side:
"She is Xiao Yixian."
"Mm."
After he spoke, Feng Qing'er nodded slightly, signaling she understood.
At the sa ti, her beautiful eyes glanced at the silver-haired figure beside Lin Feng.
Suddenly encountering a woman whose talent surpassed her own, she naturally paid more attention, silently comparing herself to the other in her heart.
This woman, although slightly inferior in looks compared to herself, carried a fresh, ethereal temperant that greatly amplified her charm.
Moreover, that slender willow waist that could be grasped in one hand—even she didn't possess sothing so delicate.
Xiao Yixian, who had been stared at by Feng Qing'er for a while, also seed to sense her gaze.
She imdiately turned her head and glared back at her.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that the difference between them wasn't that great, Feng Qing'er snorted coldly and stopped comparing.
"Uh… let's head to the center of the hall first. I heard there's a small auction-style trading event over there. I need to pick up so things there, and after that, we'll go to the Heavenly Eye Mountain Range."
Sensing the atmosphere becoming a little delicate, Lin Feng quickly spoke up.
"Alright."
The two won nodded in unison, agreeing.
Seeing this, Lin Feng turned around, taking Xiao Yixian by the hand and walking toward the center of the hall.
Feng Qing'er also followed, with the two Wind Lightning Pavilion elders trailing behind her like background props.
However, before leaving, Lin Feng's gaze suddenly swept toward an old man hidden in the crowd who had been watching the whole ti.
That old man's appearance was extrely unremarkable, but the distinctive elder robes of the Body Transforming Sect on his body revealed his identity.
This old fellow had arrived not long after Lin Feng's conflict with that Granny Yin.
Yet since then, he hadn't stepped forward to resolve the conflict at all.
At that ti, Granny Yin had made her move right under his nose.
Obviously, Granny Yin must have known this Body Transforming Sect elder.
Or rather, there was likely so kind of relationship between the Myriad Poison Sect and the Body Transforming Sect.
Precisely because of that, even though he knew Lin Feng was a seventh-tier alchemist, the elder hadn't co out to make friends.
Watching Lin Feng's departing back, Granny Yin, who had been left behind at the side, gripped her cane tightly with her withered hand.
Her murky, dark-green eyes were now filled with a thick, overflowing killing intent!
