21: Alchemist

A moment later.

Only Ling Buyi, Ling Zhan, and four Family Elders remained in the main hall.

Seeing this, Ling Feng immediately asked them.

"Second Uncle, what Rank of Cultivation Technique are you all currently Cultivating?"

"We are currently Cultivating one of the basic Yellow-Grade, top-tier Cultivation Techniques, the only ones available in the Family. Now that you, the Family Head, have decided to open up Profound Level Skills and Martial Skills, we plan to switch to the Family's only Profound Level Skill on an auspicious day."

"Mm, in that case, you, Third Uncle, and the several Family Elders shouldn't Cultivate that Profound Level Skill in the Family. I have a better Cultivation Technique here that you all can Cultivate. Its Cultivation Technique Rank is roughly Heaven-Grade, which should be sufficient for now."

After hearing this, Ling Feng casually said to Ling Buyi and the others.

"What? A Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique!"

Ling Buyi and the others cried out in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.

A moment later, Ling Buyi was the first to recover, and he eagerly asked Ling Feng.

"Family Head, is it really a Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique?"

"What, are you afraid I'm tricking you?"

"Here, take a look for yourselves."

Seeing this, Ling Feng flipped his left hand, and a Cultivation Technique jade slip instantly appeared in his hand. He then handed it to Ling Buyi, saying casually.

Ling Buyi respectfully took the Cultivation Technique jade slip from Ling Feng and carefully examined its contents with his Divine Sense.

A moment later.

Ling Buyi's face was flushed red, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably, filled with excitement. He then couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

"This... now my Ling Family will truly rise!"

"It really is a Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique."

Ling Zhan and the other Family Elders, seeing Ling Buyi so excited, couldn't help but laugh.

"Heaven bless my Ling Family."

"Alright, alright, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and the Family Elders, from now on you all will switch to Cultivating this Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique, 'Heaven Cloud Art.' However, I must emphasize here that a Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique is of great importance. Currently, our Ling Family's strength is still too weak. The matter of the Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique must absolutely not be leaked. Otherwise, we will be targeted by countless forces, and at that time, my Ling Family may suffer unimaginable, devastating blows."

Seeing the overly excited Ling Buyi and the others, Ling Feng immediately spoke in a serious tone.

"The Family Head is right. This matter indeed requires caution and prudence at the moment; we cannot be careless. We were a bit carried away."

"Right."

Upon hearing this, the others froze, a look of lingering fear appearing on their faces, and they quickly chimed in.

"Mm, it's good that you few know about this. For now, be sure to keep it a secret."

"Yes, Family Head."

"Oh, and Second Uncle, please pass these few bottles of Medicinal Pills to my cousin Zifan. Tell him to Cultivate diligently and not waste such good talent and my expectations for him."

Afterward, Ling Feng chatted with Ling Buyi and the others for a long time. He then took out several bottles of yellow cloud pill and Spirit Ascension Pill, along with one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, from the System space, placed them in a useless Storage Pouch, and handed it to Ling Buyi, saying with a smile.

Seeing this, Ling Buyi did not immediately take the Storage Pouch from Ling Feng, but instead spoke up.

"Fenger, how can this be? You've already given your cousin so many Cultivation resources a while ago. You should keep these Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones for yourself."

"Second Uncle, these things are currently useless to me, and I have many more. You don't need to worry about me."

"Leaving aside everything else, since Zifan is my cousin, what's wrong with an older cousin taking care of his younger brother? Moreover, Cousin Zifan's Cultivation talent is already exceptionally outstanding, and he is currently in great need of Cultivation resources."

"When Cousin Zifan grows up in the future, won't my Ling Family have another powerhouse guarding us?"

"So, Second Uncle, please accept these Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones on behalf of Cousin Zifan."

"Also, tell Cousin Zifan that if he has any difficulties and needs my help, he can come to me anytime."

"This..."

Ling Buyi, hearing this, didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Alright, Second Uncle, why are you being so indecisive about this today? This isn't like your usual style, Second Uncle. Hurry and put them away."

Ling Feng, seeing this, couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, since that's the case, I won't decline any further. I'll shamelessly accept them for Zifan."

"That's more like it! Hahahaha!"

"Then you all go and get busy."

Upon hearing this, the others bowed to Ling Feng and then quickly walked out of the main hall.

Ling Feng watched their retreating figures and did not linger in the main hall. He flashed, heading towards his own courtyard.

A moment later.

Ling Feng returned to his courtyard.

Thinking that he still had a few characters obtained from the lottery that he hadn't summoned yet, he immediately went into the room and sat down, silently reciting to the System in his mind.

"System, summon the two Alchemists I won from the previous lottery."

"Understood, Host."

As the System's prompt fell, in an instant, the space in Ling Feng's room twisted, and two figures instantly appeared before Ling Feng.

Seeing this, Ling Feng looked up and saw that both were dressed in green robes, with extremely serious expressions, and an extremely comfortable aura emanating from their bodies.

"Ling Qing, Ling Yao respectfully greet the Family Head."

Seeing Ling Feng carefully observing them, the two immediately knelt on one knee, saluting Ling Feng with faces full of respect.

"Congratulations, Host, on successfully summoning one Fourth-Grade Alchemist and one Third-Grade Alchemist. Family Luck has increased by five thousand."

As the System's prompt fell, Ling Feng was instantly overjoyed; this snowball was getting bigger and bigger.

"However, there's no rush to do low-grade lotteries for now. The good things that can be drawn from low-level lotteries are limited. I still need to accumulate more Luck points to do higher-level lotteries."

Ling Feng couldn't help but think to himself.

"Both of you, rise."

"Thank you, Family Head."

Ling Qing and Ling Yao, hearing this, thanked Ling Feng and then stood up, respectfully waiting for Ling Feng's instructions.

"You two sit first. I'll have something to arrange for you in a moment."

"As the Family Head commands."

"Ling Xuan."

Seeing this, Ling Feng immediately called out loudly towards the door.

"Family Head."

As Ling Feng's words fell, Ling Xuan, dressed in a tight-fitting suit, instantly appeared in the room.

"Go and inform the Grand Elder and the Second Elder to come see me."

"Yes, Family Head."
