This set of cultivation technique and Dou Technique had originally belonged to Dong Yan himself, of excellent quality. The reason Lin Feng gifted this set was because last night he had asked Ye Xin Lan again.

Within the Ye Clan, there were no longer any High-Grade Earth Class cultivation techniques or Dou Techniques of such quality.

As for those two jade bottles, each contained a two-colored eighth-tier pill. And with this betrothal gift, it should be enough to show his sincerity. As for that Life Transforming Flame, after some thought, Lin Feng decided to give it to the Ye Clan later.

Anyway, the Ye Clan currently had a fairly good quality Sun Flame, so their need for Life Transforming Flame wasn't urgent.

Of course, the reason he didn't gift one of the items alchemists needed most — pill formulas — was because he knew the Ye Clan's Scripture Pavilion already contained a large number of seventh-tier pill formulas and even some eighth-tier ones.

So such things weren't what the Ye Clan desperately needed. What they truly lacked were cultivation techniques, Dou Techniques, and soul cultivation techniques that could rapidly improve strength and alchemy skills.

Naturally, that Soul Gathering Technique was a copied version. After all, the original one had already been read by several people, its soul imprint long blurred and unclear, making it impossible to be studied further.

As for those two pills, they were meant for the Ye Clan to use in trade with others. With eighth-tier pills in hand, if the Ye Clan needed something in the future, as long as it wasn't overly rare, they would basically be able to trade for it.

"Lin Feng, since you have this heart, I naturally won't break apart lovers. This marriage, I will agree to."

Faced with Lin Feng's proposal, Ye Zhong happily gave his approval.

After all, he had long had this intention. And with Lin Feng's current strength, to willingly bring out such a betrothal gift to ask, was giving him full respect. As long as he wasn't out of his mind, there was no way he would reject this marriage.

Immediately, he accepted the items Lin Feng handed over. But as he looked over them, Ye Zhong's gaze suddenly caught the words "Soul Cultivation technique" on one of the scrolls.

In an instant, his expression became filled with disbelief. Quickly putting the other items into his ring, he picked up the scroll and examined it closely.

After confirming he wasn't mistaken, Ye Zhong's body trembled violently with excitement. For alchemists who understood such things, the value of a soul cultivation technique even surpassed that of pill formulas.

After all, pill formulas, if missed once, could be found again later. But a soul cultivation technique was not something one could simply search for and expect to find.

Such a technique could truly be said to be priceless.

Any alchemist fortunate enough to obtain one would inevitably guard it carefully, passing it down as the greatest treasure of their clan.

For ordinary people, to dream of finding even a single scroll of such a method was pure fantasy. Snapping out of his daze, Ye Zhong even wondered if Lin Feng had given him the wrong thing.

His voice trembling, he asked again to confirm, "Lin Feng, this soul cultivation technique… you truly intend to give it to my Ye Clan?"

"That's right."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, "This Soul Gathering Technique may only be High-Grade Yellow Class, but for an alchemist clan, it should be quite useful."

Receiving his confirmation, Ye Zhong was overjoyed, "This treasure will be of immense use to our Ye Clan. Without exaggeration, you are our Ye Clan's greatest benefactor!"

For with this soul cultivation technique, not only could their elders advance further. But when geniuses appeared in the Ye Clan in the future, they could be taught this soul cultivation technique from a young age.

By the time these younger generations grow up, with the advantage of soul cultivation techniques, they would easily leave their normal peers far behind.

The benefits in this, needless to say. Seeing the excitement on the old man's face, Lin Feng could understand it very well.

Back when he obtained this scroll of Soul Gathering Technique, he had been no better than the elder in front of him. Besides, he had already slept with the other party's granddaughter.

As long as Ye Xin Lan truly cared for him, he did not mind, within the scope of his ability, giving some support to his wife's clan.

Moreover, his relationship with the Ye Clan was not bad. Helping the Ye Clan hold onto their position as one of the Five Great Clans of Pill Tower, and rise again, would also bring him considerable benefits.

If he could win first place in next year's Pill Gathering and become a candidate for one of Pill Tower's Three Great Leaders. Then the Ye Clan would be his allies within Pill Tower. Even if he failed to take first place and become a candidate for Pill Tower's Three Great Leaders.

Afterward he could still rely on the Ye Clan connection to obtain some inside information from Pill Tower. For example, news about Xiao Yan!

After all, Yao Chen had been with Xiao Yan for so long, Lin Feng simply did not believe the former had never mentioned Feng Zun Zhe to him. And once Xiao Yan came to Central Plains, if he successfully met Feng Zun Zhe.

Then in all likelihood, the latter would bring Xiao Yan to meet the current Three Great Leaders of Pill Tower, Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and the others. Because Feng Zun Zhe surely knew that by himself, he could never save Yao Chen.

Thus Lin Feng was convinced, as long as Xiao Yan had already met with Feng Zun Zhe earlier, then by now he must have already met the Three Great Leaders of Pill Tower!

For this reason, Lin Feng wanted to have his own eyes and ears inside Pill Tower, to obtain certain information. Of course, if this informant could come from the Cao Clan or Dan Clan, that would be even better.

After all, those two clans still had old ancestors residing inside the Small Pill Tower. The information they could obtain would surely far surpass the already declining Ye Clan.

But right now he had already clashed with Cao Dan of the Cao Clan, and he had no real dealings with the Dan clan. Therefore, for the time being, he could only rely on the Ye Clan.

After Ye Zhong came back to his senses, he immediately turned to Lin Feng and said, "I'll go into seclusion for a few days to study this soul cultivation technique. I'll come out before the Five Great Clans' assessment. If Xin Lan asks, just explain to her."

With that said, Ye Zhong could not wait and quickly turned to leave.

After all, with such a priceless treasure in hand, as an alchemist, there was no way he could resist. As for Lin Feng, he only smiled and shook his head, understanding the old man's feelings.

"Creak~"

Just as the elder left, Lin Feng's room door was once again pushed open.

A young girl in a light blue dress leaned against the doorframe, limping slightly as she walked out. Her exquisite face and slender, fair neck still bore many marks left by someone's frenzied kisses.

When Lin Feng saw this scene, he immediately rushed over, wrapping Xin Lan's soft figure around her waist and pulling her into his arms. Looking at the beauty in his embrace, Lin Feng doted on her and said, "Where do you want to go? I'll carry you."

After all, it was he who had left her in this state last night, so of course he had to take responsibility now.

"Its fine, I just wanted to come out for a walk."

Ye Xin Lan buried her chin against Lin Feng's chest, her pink lips curving slightly as she spoke.

"Alright then, I'll carry you to the pavilion over there. Your grandfather has gone into seclusion and won't come out until the assessment begins."

Hearing this, Lin Feng spoke gently.

"Mm."
