Dan Chen's reaction was indeed just as Lin Feng had expected. When she heard him ntion alchemy, that soft and timid deanor of hers instantly vanished, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if she had beco an entirely different person.
Then, fixing her eyes firmly on Lin Feng, she spoke with determination, "No problem, I have absolute confidence in my alchemy!"
"Haha, I'm really looking forward to it. Besides, I've been running into so obstacles lately. If Sister Dan Chen has the ti, we can exchange so insights on alchemy. After all, locking oneself away isn't the best way to learn alchemy."
Seeing how she changed personalities the mont alchemy was ntioned, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle. Although he knew it wasn't exactly right to deceive such a pure and innocent girl, in order to gain more support within the Pill Tower, he had no other choice.
After all, aside from forming a marriage alliance, he couldn't think of a faster way to establish good relations with both the Dan and Cao Clans.
That Cao Ying was sharp and astute — definitely not soone easy to fool. As for Dan Chen, she looked every bit the gentle, soft, and easily swayed type. So between the two, Lin Feng didn't hesitate to strike at Dan Chen first.
"Mm, then I'll be counting on Brother Lin Feng for your guidance in the future."
The mont alchemy was brought up, Dan Chen instantly forgot about what had happened earlier and smiled as she nodded.
She was also quite curious about just how skilled Lin Feng's alchemy really was. As the two chatted casually, they soon arrived at the sa plaza as yesterday.
At this ti, there were already about eight or nine students gathered there. That sa old man from yesterday was also standing there.
"Elder Zhong."
After Lin Feng and Dan Chen landed, they imdiately bowed in greeting.
"Mm."
The old man nodded slightly, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Normally, Dan Chen always acted alone — at most, she might walk together with Cao Ying. But today, she had co here with Lin Feng. From their expressions, the two seed to be getting along quite well.
"I really don't know what the Dan Clan is thinking. Could they really be willing to let such a genius like Dan Chen marry out?"
Elder Zhong muttered inwardly, then said to the two, "Not everyone has arrived yet, so you'll have to wait a while. Also, once Dan Chen's test is over, Lin Feng, let see your highest alchemy level too, so I can plan out your study path."
"Alright."
Lin Feng responded with a nod, then went to sit cross-legged on the ground beside Dan Chen.
The other students who saw the two arrive together began looking at them with increasingly strange expressions. However, most of those gazes were filled with strong hostility.
After all, both Cao Ying and Dan Chen had plenty of admirers. Now that their goddess was rumored to be close to this new guy, it was only natural they weren't pleased.
Among all those hostile looks, one black-clothed man's glare was the fiercest of all — as if Lin Feng had killed his father.
As for Lin Feng, he completely ignored them. He had already guessed that both Cao Ying and Dan Chen would definitely have many suitors. So, being hated by so people was sothing he had long since prepared himself for.
Not long after Lin Feng and Dan Chen arrived, a few more figures flew over from the distance one after another.
Among them, of course, was Cao Ying. However, the mont Cao Ying saw Lin Feng, her expression instantly turned sowhat furious, teeth gritted.
It was clear that earlier this morning, she had also discovered that people had gotten the wrong idea about her. Naturally, the bla for that misunderstanding had fallen squarely on Lin Feng's shoulders.
"Since everyone's here, let's begin today's class. The schedule's the sa as usual — ten days from now, you'll be dismissed."
Elder Zhong's gaze swept across Lin Feng and the others, then he turned toward Dan Chen. "Dan Chen, let's start by seeing how much your alchemy has improved recently."
"Yes."
Dan Chen nodded lightly. After exchanging a brief glance with Lin Feng, she rose and walked to the open area at the front before sitting down cross-legged.
With a faint glimr of light, a heavy eight-mouthed cauldron appeared before her small figure. Then, with a flick of her delicate white hand, a blazing pale-blue fla suddenly burst into view before everyone's eyes.
In the next instant, she waved her hand, tossing the fla into the cauldron, channeling her Dou Qi into it to make the fire surge and roar within that confined space.
After that, Dan Chen retrieved a large pile of dicinal ingredients from her storage ring and began placing them into the cauldron in an orderly sequence, starting the refining process.
Lin Feng's gaze swept across the pale-blue fla in her hand — judging by its appearance, it seed to be a Rank 8 beast fla. However, although it was also a Rank 8 beast fla, the one Dan Chen wielded was clearly superior to the ones he had previously obtained.
"Wait a second… why does her alchemy technique look so familiar?"
As he watched the elegant figure in the distance focus intently on refining her pill, Lin Feng's heart filled with confusion. Then, a thought flashed through his mind — the alchemy techniques he had once studied from Dan Yitian.
Although he had long since abandoned Dan Yitian's techniques, having shifted to the techniques of that six-colored eighth-tier alchemist he obtained from the Lue Feng Zun Zhe's ring, he still rembered all he had learned before.
"The way Dan Chen refines her pills — while not identical to Dan Yitian's — carries the sa overall style. They're definitely of the sa lineage. And both of them share the sa surna, Dan… could it be that the Dan Clan is actually Dan Yitian's descendants?"
At this realization, a thoughtful look crossed Lin Feng's face.
He felt that this possibility was quite high. After all, they both bore the surna Dan, and their alchemy styles were so similar. Furthermore, in the remnants of Dan Yitian's notes, it had been ntioned that he had passed down many of his alchemy thods to his clan.
"It seems I should try to investigate the origins of this Dan Clan later. That way, I can confirm it for sure. If it really is true, then I definitely owe them so help — Dan Yitian did quite a lot for , after all."
Lin Feng mused inwardly, then turned his attention back toward Dan Chen, who was still carefully refining her pill.
Based on his experience, Dan Chen's alchemy skills weren't much weaker than his own — she was also at the peak seventh-tier level. The pill she was currently refining was of that sa tier.
However, since her cultivation was only at the Dou Huang level, she was at a clear disadvantage compared to other alchemists of the sa tier.
After all, if one's Dou Qi wasn't strong enough, then no matter how powerful one's soul power was, it couldn't completely make up for the shortcomings in refining ingredients.
"Rumble~"
After several days of focused refinent, dark, dense clouds suddenly gathered in the sky above the plaza, blocking out the bright sunlight. Thick silver thunder serpents writhed and roared within them, their montum fierce and terrifying.
"Not bad."
Upon seeing this scene, a pleased smile appeared on Elder Zhong's aged face.
