Still, Duan Menglu understood her grandfather better than anyone.

For him to make such a decision meant he had absolute confidence in this mysterious young man.

The old man was not foolish. If anything, he was among the wisest individuals in the entire continent.

If he valued Lin Feng so highly, then Lin Feng undoubtedly possessed qualifications beyond her imagination.

Duan Menglu immediately bowed.

"This granddaughter understands."

She then turned toward Lin Feng. For the first time, she carefully observed him.

The moment she did, her heart skipped a beat. Handsome. Far too handsome.

In all her years, she had never seen a man with such appearance and bearing. His features seemed flawless.

His posture was relaxed yet naturally noble.

Most importantly, his eyes contained a depth she could not comprehend.

It felt as though countless worlds were hidden within them.

No wonder her grandfather respected him so much.

Suppressing her surprise, she lowered her head respectfully.

"This junior Duan Menglu greets Senior Lin Feng."

Lin Feng glanced at her before smiling lightly.

"There is no need to be so formal."

His voice was calm and pleasant. Duan Menglu immediately felt a strange sense of ease.

The Pill King secretly observed everything and became increasingly pleased.

In his opinion, this arrangement was excellent.

Senior Lin Feng clearly enjoyed the company of beautiful women.

Duan Menglu was the greatest beauty of the Duan Clan.

As long as she remained by his side, opportunities would naturally arise. Even if she started as a servant, so what?

Many women would gladly compete for such a position. Perhaps in the future she might become something more.

The old man’s imagination began running wild.

Unfortunately for him, his assumptions were completely wrong.

Lin Feng might appreciate beauty, but beautiful women were hardly rare around him.

The women already accompanying him were all exceptional in appearance and talent.

Any one of them could cause chaos in countless cities.

Compared to them, Duan Menglu was certainly beautiful, but not enough to leave Lin Feng stunned.

If the Pill King believed that simply sending over a beautiful granddaughter would instantly earn his favor, he was destined for disappointment.

After all, there were many things Lin Feng might lack.

Beautiful women, however, were certainly not among them.

Lin Feng and the old Pill King continued their conversation for some time.

The two spoke calmly, yet every word that came from Lin Feng carried profound meaning that left the old man feeling as though an entirely new world had been opened before him.

By the end of their discussion, the old Pill King no longer carried the arrogance or confidence befitting one of the most respected alchemists in the region.

Instead, he stood before Lin Feng like a humble junior receiving guidance from an unfathomable senior.

Finally, the old man rose to leave.

He clasped his hands respectfully and bowed so deeply that his head nearly touched the ground.

"The Duan Clan will forever remain indebted to you, Senior Lin Feng. Should you ever have need of us, please do not hesitate to command us. Whether it is traversing mountains of blades or crossing seas of fire, the Duan Clan will carry out your will without hesitation."

His voice was solemn and sincere as he repeated his solemn vow.

For a clan to earn the favor of an existence like Lin Feng was a blessing that countless powers could only dream of.

Lin Feng merely smiled and waved a hand dismissively.

"There is no need to be so formal. I simply did what I wished to do."

The old Pill King did not dare take those words seriously.

To Lin Feng, it may have been a casual act, but to the Duan Clan it was a grace that could alter their fate for generations.

He bowed once more.

"Then this old man shall take his leave."

Only after receiving Lin Feng’s nod did he finally depart. The moment he left, the atmosphere became much quieter.

The newest addition to Lin Feng’s growing group of women, Duan Menglu, remained behind.

However, she was far from idle.

The beautiful woman appeared calm on the surface, but her mind was working rapidly.

A powerful divine sense spread silently from her body, sweeping through countless records and information networks and asking her followers anything about Lin Feng.

As a cultivator who had lived for over a million years and stepped into the Divine Tribulation Realm, her abilities were naturally extraordinary.

Very few secrets in this region could remain hidden from her for long.

She searched for information regarding a man named Lin Feng.

It did not take long before she found a likely match. The Medicine King Lin Feng.

A legendary figure who had risen to fame only a few months ago.

Despite his short period of prominence, his accomplishments had already shaken countless cultivators.

Rumors described him as a peerless healer capable of creating miracles that defied common sense.

Some said he could even raise the dead back to the living.

Duan Menglu immediately obtained a jade slip containing an image of the famous Medicine King.

Yet when she compared the image to the man standing before her, she found a glaring discrepancy.

The faces were completely different. She frowned slightly.

"He is hiding his identity?"

The thought surfaced naturally in her mind. She studied Lin Feng from afar.

The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

After all, powerful cultivators were often eccentric individuals.

Many possessed strange habits that ordinary people could never understand. Some concealed their cultivation.

Some changed their appearances every day.

Others wandered the world under dozens of different identities merely to entertain themselves.

Compared to those examples, hiding one’s true appearance was hardly unusual.

In fact, it was perhaps the most normal eccentricity she had ever encountered.

A faint smile appeared on Duan Menglu’s lips.

"If he truly is the Medicine King Lin Feng, then that would explain many things."

The terrifying alchemy. The unfathomable cultivation.

The casual manner in which he treated treasures that others would gladly kill for.

Everything suddenly seemed to fit together.
