**
The appearances of the two people were that of individuals in their fifties. However, Lin Feng, through his powerful soul power, could clearly sense that the true ages of these two were both around two hundred years old.
As the members of the Dan and Cao Clans entered the main hall, the instant their eyes fell upon Lin Feng, intense shock immediately spread across their faces.
After all, both of them were far from weak — each was at the Dou Zun level and a low-grade eighth-tier alchemist.
Yet despite that, the moment they laid eyes on Lin Feng, they felt a faint but undeniable sense of oppression. This pressure wasn't from Dou Qi strength — it came from the level of the soul!
But the soul realms of both of them had already reached the early stage of the Spirit Realm decades ago.
According to the information they'd received, although Lin Feng's talent was said to be extraordinary, the time since his soul power had reached the Spirit Realm shouldn't have even been a full year!
"Looks like the clan's information was wrong. Lin Feng's soul power must at least be at the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm.
Otherwise, there's no way I'd feel this kind of pressure. And his strength… it seems during the time he disappeared, he must have already stepped into the Dou Zun realm."
The two thought secretly, staring at Lin Feng, who sat there with a calm expression.
The monstrous potential that Lin Feng was displaying right now was undeniable proof — as long as he didn't fall midway, he would definitely break through to the Dou Sheng Realm one day!
That kind of realm was something even their clan's ancestor had spent hundreds of years striving for, failing several times, and still hadn't managed to achieve.
Just as the two were still frozen in shock, Lin Feng had already stood up and walked toward them. Seeing the two old men still stunned, he smiled lightly and said, "May I ask, what brings you two here to find me?"
Hearing his question, the two Elders finally snapped out of their daze.
Then, the one wearing the Dan Clan's emblem stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Lin Feng, the matter between you and our clan's junior, Dan Chen, has already spread across the entire Pill Region.
We hope that Young Master Lin Feng will prepare the betrothal gifts soon and come to our Dan Clan to officially confirm the marriage between you and Chen'er, so as not to damage either of your reputations."
"Uh…"
Hearing that, Lin Feng was momentarily dumbfounded.
He had originally thought the Dan Clan had sent people to question or reprimand him. Who could have expected that the moment they arrived, they'd urge him to come propose marriage and finalize the wedding instead?
"What's wrong, could it be that Young Master Lin Feng looks down on Chen'er?"
Seeing Lin Feng remain silent, the old man's brows furrowed instantly, his tone growing a bit displeased.
Although Lin Feng's talent was astonishing, if he dared to ruin the reputation of the Dan Clan's most gifted junior and refused to take responsibility, the Dan Clan would definitely not let it go!
Hearing the old man's stern tone, Lin Feng quickly realized that there had been a misunderstanding. He immediately explained, "Senior, you've misunderstood. I was only so surprised that I lost my composure for a moment.
I had originally thought it would take great effort to convince your clan to let me marry Chen'er. After all, with her talent, she's likely to reach the level ninth-tier alchemist in the future. I didn't expect you all to be so open-minded and agree so straightforwardly."
At this, Lin Feng clasped his hands slightly and said, "Since all of you hold me in such high regard, then after the Pill Gathering, I will personally bring generous gifts to your clan to formally propose marriage!"
As he spoke, Lin Feng smiled faintly — after all, if he and Dan Chen were to be married, the Dan Clan would become his in-laws. Maintaining a good relationship with them would only be beneficial.
Hearing his words, the old man's face instantly changed from anger to joy. Stroking the few strands of beard on his chin, he chuckled and said, "So it seems I was being too hasty.
Since both sides have no objections, then I won't disturb you from preparing for the Pill Gathering. I'll be waiting for your good news back at the Dan Clan."
The Elder thought about how there were less than ten days left before the Pill Gathering, so he didn't press Lin Feng to rush over for a marriage proposal. After all, with time so tight, Lin Feng clearly hadn't prepared anything yet.
If he showed up to propose empty-handed, wouldn't that just make the Dan Clan look embarrassed too?
Of course, there was one thing he didn't tell Lin Feng. The real reason for his visit this time was because of the increasingly outrageous rumors spreading around Small Pill Tower.
At first, people only said the two had already done "that kind of thing." But now? The gossip had evolved to the point where some claimed the two had secretly given birth to several children!
With things getting that ridiculous, the Dan Clan had no choice but to send him to Lin Feng's side to check the situation — to test Lin Feng's attitude toward Dan Chen.
If Lin Feng was serious about her, the Elder would take note of his current strength and report back to the clan.
They could then discuss internally whether or not to truly let Dan Chen marry out of the clan. If, after discussion, the clan felt the match was acceptable, they'd inform Lin Feng later.
However, upon witnessing Lin Feng's terrifying strength firsthand, the Elder instantly changed his mind. He decided it was better to let Lin Feng come and propose as soon as possible.
After all, with Lin Feng being not yet thirty years old and already a Dou Zun with mid-stage Spirit Realm soul power such heaven-defying talent was beyond imagination.
As long as he didn't fall midway, in less than two hundred years he would definitely reach the Ban Sheng Realm and become a ninth-tier alchemist. If fate favored him with some fortuitous encounters, he might even step into that true Dou Sheng realm!
If he didn't secure such a prodigy early, what if another major power snatched him away? By then, he'd have no one but himself to blame!
Thinking of how this future Dou Sheng-level powerhouse and ninth-tier alchemist was now essentially the Dan Clan's soon-to-be son-in-law, the Elder couldn't help but whistle cheerfully as he left Ye Courtyard.
While he was all smiles, the Cao Clan Elder standing nearby, however, wore an expression that could only be described as "Who am I? Where am I? What am I even doing here?"
What the hell was wrong with the Dan Clan?
When they met outside earlier and he'd asked the Dan Clan Elder what he was coming here for, hadn't that guy said he was just stopping by to have a look?
So how did that suddenly turn into urging Lin Feng to go to the Dan Clan to propose marriage?!
At that moment, the Cao Clan Elder couldn't help but feel like he'd been completely played.
"Dan Clan, you just wait!"
Grinding his teeth in frustration, the old man glared in the direction the Dan Clan Elder had left, fuming inwardly.
"Uh… Senior, may I ask what brings you here?"
Seeing the Elder's angry expression, Lin Feng looked slightly confused and stepped forward to ask.
Hearing that, the old man finally came back to his senses. Shaking off the irritation in his mind, he turned and said, "Young Master Lin Feng, one month from now is the birthday of our Cao Clan's Patriarch. I've come today to invite you to attend the banquet on that day."
After speaking, the Elder gently brushed his storage ring, taking out an ornate golden invitation card from within.
