Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 40 May I give it a try?

Inside the courtyard, everyone stood facing each other. After a moment of silence, Lin Feng spoke first.

"I apologize, everyone. Given what has happened, I really have no mood to continue the banquet."

"Mr. Lin Feng, it was Yunlan Sect's oversight that was lax this time. I will definitely ask the sect leader for an explanation when I return."

After subtly glancing at everyone's expressions, Yun Leng adopted a humble posture and took the lead in speaking.

It's no wonder he's like this. If he's not mistaken, with the release of Lin Feng's exclusive pill, his status will be significantly enhanced throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire, no, even the entire Dou Qi Continent.

The ability to reduce the number of cultivation levels by one or two major realms with a single pill, without conflicting with advancement pills like the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, is truly a major breakthrough in the history of alchemy.

Of course, everyone present was a shrewd old fox, and they would tacitly keep the news secret until the family had accumulated enough reserves.

As for the younger generation of the family who took the pill accidentally leaking the news, well, you can only say that you underestimated the elite offspring of the big family. And do you think a fool would have the chance to take this pill?

Even if there are no outstanding descendants in the family, surely we can cultivate a younger generation?

For large families, unless your talent is truly exceptional, the family's primary task is always to ensure the continuation of its lineage.

"Elder Yunling need not take it too seriously. Although this matter was done by your sect's guest elder, everyone knows that he was merely acting on his own initiative."

Seeing Yun Leng bowing low and Qing Lin unharmed, Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively, indicating that there was no need to worry about Mo Cheng's matter. Besides, "Selling pills is when we're truly draining you dry!"

"Rest assured, Elder, we will treat all Five Elements Pills from your sect equally."

His expression shifted slightly. "That's exactly what I wanted to hear."

"Haha, Mr. Lin Feng truly lives up to his reputation as a prodigy. Not only is his talent exceptional, but his demeanor is also beyond the reach of ordinary people."

After exchanging pleasantries with Yun Ling, Lin Feng turned to Yao Ye, Nalan Jie, and the others, bowed, and said, "I apologize for my poor hospitality today. I will treat you all properly another time."

Seeing Lin Feng's gentle expression, without much annoyance, everyone understood. Knowing that the young girl Qing Lin was alright, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Feng were to clash with the Yunlan Sect, they would inevitably have to side with him. However, the pressure of facing the Yunlan Sect would be immense. Apart from the royal family, who genuinely wanted Lin Feng to confront the Yunlan Sect, everyone else was hoping for a peaceful resolution.

"In that case, we'll come to bother Mr. Lin Feng again another day." Yao Ye bowed slightly with Yao Yue and smiled, exuding a rather dashing and heroic air that caught everyone's eye.

"Haha, Mr. Lin Feng, then I'll take my leave. I'll definitely visit you another day, and we can have a good drink together then." Mu Chen hurriedly said upon seeing this.

"Hahaha, since that's the case, I dare not stay here alone." Nalan Jie stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"In my opinion, since we are all near the capital, it is very convenient for us to travel back and forth on a daily basis. There is no need to rush," Mittel Tengshan said slowly, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Upon hearing him speak, a hint of envy appeared on everyone's faces. This old fellow had done Lin Feng a great favor today. If they needed medicine in the future, it would be much easier to ask.

In fact, Mittel Tengshan was also secretly pleased. Today, he not only obtained information about Elder Hai for free, but also gained a favor from Lin Feng. It could be said that he was the biggest winner today, and he couldn't stop smiling.

After speaking, everyone left without lingering.

Strangely, after everyone left, Lin Feng did not return to the mansion. Instead, he looked at a shadowy spot and said calmly, "Senior Nalan, you can come out now, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in the shadows, without any further restraint, slowly stepped out; it was none other than Nalan Jie.

"Haha, young friend Lin Feng is indeed worthy of being a fourth-grade alchemist. His senses are powerful. I deliberately concealed my aura, and even Mu Chen did not notice that I had returned."

Nalan Jie walked over slowly, showing no embarrassment at being discovered.

"Mr. Lin Feng, to be honest, I do have a favor to ask of you."

"Since Senior Nalan hasn't spoken yet, he probably doesn't want others to know. In that case, let's go inside and talk in detail." With that, Lin Feng took the lead and walked into the courtyard.

He stared at Nalan Jie for a moment, seemingly not expecting him to be so decisive, and then took a step into the courtyard.

The two walked through the mansion without speaking. One was unsure of the visitor's intentions, but since the visitor had a request, the other was not in a hurry to speak first.

One reason was that he didn't know how to bring it up. After all, although he hadn't been poisoned for long, he had privately sought out Fa Ma. But the latter had famously said that unless a master of a different kind of fire or a high-ranking alchemist intervened, there was absolutely no way to resolve this poison.

He explicitly stated that even if Gu He's rank was one grade higher than his, there was absolutely nothing he could do. Of course, people always harbor a glimmer of hope, and Nalan Jie was no exception; he naturally sought out Gu He to investigate. However, the result was that his health deteriorated day by day, and he even had his granddaughter enrolled in the Yunlan Sect for the sake of the family's inheritance.

Nalan Jie was in utter despair as he faced his death countdown, but Lin Feng's sudden appearance during this time brought him a tremendous surprise.

To be able to train a fourth-grade alchemist at such a young age, Lin Feng's teacher must be far superior to Gu He. If they could get him to help, the poison might finally be found.

After walking to a pavilion, Lin Feng stopped, turned around and said to Nalan Jie, "Senior Nalan, please say what you have to say here."

"Uh," Nalan Jie, who had been looking down and sorting out his thoughts, paused for a moment, then carefully considered his words before slowly speaking, "Mr. Lin Feng, to be honest, I was afflicted with a peculiar branding poison half a year ago."

"According to President Fa Ma and President Gu He, this branding poison can only be removed by a seventh-level alchemist or an alchemist with a different kind of fire."

Then Nalan Jie looked at Lin Feng, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "I wonder if Mr. Lin Feng's master is at least a seventh-rank master?"

Looking at Nalan Jie's pitiful appearance, Lin Feng slowly pondered, "I wonder if I can cure this branding poison."

As for the master Nalan Jie mentioned, if Fa Ma were here, he would definitely laugh his head off. After teaching Lin Feng alchemy for many days, he already knew that Lin Feng was just lucky to have inherited the legacy of a fourth-grade alchemist when he was young.

"Senior Nalan, if what Pharaoh said is true, my master's alchemy skills can indeed solve your problem." After a pause, seeing Nalan Jie's face change from nervous to full of joy, Lin Feng didn't keep him in suspense.

"However, my master travels all over the mainland all year round, and usually only comes to teach me once every three years. It has been less than half a year since the last time he taught me."

Nalan Jie couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment on his face. After all, he didn't know if he could survive the next two and a half years. Even if he was lucky enough to make it that far, he would probably be half dead.

"But I wonder, would Senior Nalan allow me to give it a try?"
