Chapter 442: Class
'Elevate the Murong Family by a whole tier?!'
'What did he just say?'
'Make the Murong Family a super family?'
Murong Yi Yun couldn't believe his ears. But from Lin Feng's calm tone, he could clearly sense that he was serious.
The others following behind also stared at Lin Feng's back with extremely peculiar expressions. He had a slender frame, yet it gave off an incredible sense of security.
'Is this Lin Feng really so heaven-defying?!'
Logically speaking, they didn't believe a word of what Lin Feng had just said.
After all, it had taken the Murong Family nearly a thousand years and the dedicated efforts of ten generations of exceptional talents to grow from an ordinary family to its current scale.
Yet Lin Feng claimed he could elevate the entire family by a whole tier within five years. That was nothing short of a fool's dream!
But the resolve and confidence in his voice made the mocking words they wanted to say catch in their throats.
Beside them, Murong Qian was also taken aback by Lin Feng's words. Her crimson lips parted as she stared blankly at him, her eyes wide.
"What did you just say?"
Murong Qian couldn't help but ask.
Lin Feng turned to look at Murong Qian, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I said that within five years, the Murong Family will definitely become a super family."
Murong Qian's pretty face instantly turned pale.
'A super family!'
She understood better than anyone what those two words represented. They signified the rise of the entire Murong Family.
And that was just the beginning!
"Are... are you sure?"
Murong Qian's voice trembled slightly.
"I never lie."
Lin Feng replied calmly. He did indeed have a way to help the Murong Clan become a super family in a short amount of time—it wouldn't even take five years.
If he returned to the Medical Immortal Valley now, it wouldn't just be a matter of elevating them one tier; making the Murong Family one of the strongest clans would only require a little effort.
But Lin Feng wasn't going to do that.
What he wanted to do now was build his own power from scratch, step by step.
Otherwise, this soul-sealing recultivation would be far too boring.
"Heh heh, then I hope Young Master Lin remembers what he said today."
Murong Yi Yun said with a dry laugh. He didn't actually believe Lin Feng had such an ability; he just suspected the young man was bragging.
After all, no matter how powerful a single person was, they still needed resources. A massive clan like the Murong Family consumed an astronomical amount of resources every single day.
Even if Lin Feng was as capable as he claimed, helping the Murong Family become a super family in five years was absolutely impossible.
After all, the Murong Family had a long heritage, but even among the great clans with storied histories, they could barely squeeze into the middle tier.
This was already their limit. Rising any higher was likely impossible without the help of those legendary ancestors from the tales of old.
Therefore, Murong Yi Yun didn't take this matter seriously at all.
"Alright, I'll remember."
Lin Feng gave a faint smile, then resumed walking toward the huge palace.
"Um... Patriarch Murong, are we entering the palace now?"
The Elders were all hesitant.
"You all should stay here. It seems Lin Xiaoyou prefers peace and quiet. I will go by myself."
"Besides, there are other matters for you to investigate. Now that Murong Yuan is dead, I want you to find out who was backing him!"
"I'd like to see who dares to plant a mole in my Murong Family and watch us tear each other apart!"
His tone grew progressively colder. After issuing a few orders in a methodical manner, Murong Yi Yun turned and stepped into the palace.
"Yes, sir!"
The Elders bowed and retreated.
Then, they went to their respective duties, hurrying outside to mobilize the Murong Clan's vast intelligence network.
At Murong Yi Yun's command, the behemoth that was this Hidden Clan began to move.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng continued to walk slowly at the very back.
As he walked, he constantly scanned his surroundings. He found the grand hall to be very simple, its walls covered with all sorts of bladed weapons.
These weapons all radiated a cold, sinister sharpness that was daunting to behold.
At the very front stood a row of tables and chairs, upon which were arranged some medicinal pills.
Lin Feng scanned them over. While the pills weren't of the highest quality, they were still decent. Moreover, they were all refined from low-grade Spiritual Medicine.
In the Ancient Martial Realm, Physicians who could refine pills held a lofty status. High-Tier Alchemists, in particular, were sought after by everyone.
"Lin Xiaoyou, is there anything in my Murong Family's collection that catches your eye?"
Just then, Murong Yi Yun's voice sounded from behind him. His steps still somewhat unsteady, he had come up behind Lin Feng.
Hearing this, Lin Feng looked up, his gaze falling on Murong Yi Yun, and shook his head. "I'm just curious."
With that, Lin Feng walked straight toward the row of tables.
"Since that's the case, then I'll accompany Young Master Lin on a tour."
Seeing Lin Feng's attitude, Murong Yi Yun couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but he kept a smile on his face.
Murong Yi Yun then followed closely behind Lin Feng toward the tables.
On the tables were rows of wooden boxes. Lin Feng casually picked one up and opened it, and a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out.
"Hm? Is this a Blood Lotus Fruit?"
"The quality is good, but unfortunately, its age is a bit low."
Lin Feng said with some regret as he gently stroked the blood-red fruit in the wooden box.
After all, his channels for obtaining Spiritual Medicine were still quite limited, and this Blood Lotus Fruit was the main ingredient for a pill that could enhance one's physical body and vital energy, which was very effective.
"Heh heh, Young Master Lin has a sharp eye. I wonder if Young Master Lin is in need of this medicinal ingredient?"
Murong Yi Yun was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Lin Feng to identify the fruit's quality in a single glance.
One had to know that this Blood Lotus Fruit, whether used in alchemy or consumed on its own, was an unquestionably fine item.
But because its age was too low, its value was naturally not very high, which greatly diminished its overall worth.
However, since Lin Feng could recognize it as a Blood Lotus Fruit, he probably needed such an ingredient right now.
And Murong Yi Yun had no intention of letting this opportunity slip by. After all, anyone would be willing to befriend a top-tier prodigy.
"Oh? From what Patriarch Murong is saying, could it be that you have another one in your inventory?"
Lin Feng asked with apparent interest, casually toying with the Blood Lotus Fruit in the box.
"Haha, Young Master Lin must be joking. The Murong Family's foundation isn't so profound as to possess two precious medicinal ingredients like the Blood Lotus Fruit."
"But if Young Master Lin could stay with the Murong Family for a little longer, I could perhaps produce one that is around five hundred years old."
Murong Yi Yun laughed heartily and then said.
