"Put away the rest of the materials, Yumo." Lin Feng smiled.
"Hmm?" Lin Yumo sneered. "Lin Feng, are you going to give up?"
"No, it's the opposite." Lin Feng's eyes lit up. "I think … I already know how to refine the eight-star spirit treasure, Blizzard Domain."
Covering her small mouth, Lin Yumo was extremely shocked. "Really?"
"Ninety percent." Lin Feng smiled. "But I need your help. I'm still short of the most important material, a Level Eight Snow Lotus's Heart of Wood Spirit."
"Level Eight Snow Lotus's Heart of Wood Spirit?" Lin Yumo's eyes flashed. He immediately reacted. "You want to use the Heart of Wood Spirit to replace the Mutated Beast Crystal? But the Heart of Wood Spirit's consciousness energy is not as good as the Mutated Beast Crystal. Maybe … "
He hesitated slightly. The mainstream spirit treasure refinement used the Mutated Beast Crystal.
Although the Heart of Wood Spirit could be used, it was a special one. The ratio of the two was very different.
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded. "This Blizzard Domain is made of excellent materials. Its structure is very precise and ingenious. It's better than other eight-star spirit treasures. It needs a 'gentle' soul to help balance it. The Mutated Beast Crystal is too violent. Although it can enhance the spirit treasure's quality, it's not suitable. "
Lin Yumo nodded thoughtfully. "Must it be the Snow Lotus?"
"Not necessarily. There are many choices, but …" Lin Feng murmured, "I feel that the Snow Lotus's characteristics are the most suitable for the Blizzard Domain."
"I don't have the Heart of Wood Spirit of the Level Eight Snow Lotus." Lin Yumo said regretfully. Weapon craftsmen did not lack Mutated Beast Crystals. Although they also had Wood Spirit Hearts, they were not as comprehensive as Mutated Beast Crystals. Moreover, Lin Yumo was not very rich.
"I see." Lin Feng frowned slightly.
"There's no need to worry." Lin Yumo smiled. "I think Senior Sister Leng Mo should have some. I'll go to the first level."
Lin Feng said apologetically, "Sorry to trouble you, Yumo."
"It's nothing." Lin Yumo smiled. "By the way, Lin Feng, the Patriarch and the Elders want to see you. Now that we have some free time, what do you think?"
Patriarch? Elders?
Had they finally lost their patience?
Lin Feng was suddenly enlightened. He smiled and said, "Okay."
…
In a sealed crystal space.
Extreme five-colored light gathered. Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he entered a strange space.
This was a unique virtual world. Last time, he had met Patriarch Lin Zhen for the first time here.
But this time, it seemed different.
"Four?" Lin Feng thought.
The leader was Patriarch Lin Zhen. The other three were able to come with him, so their status was obviously very high.
This time, the lineup was indeed different.
"I heard from Yumo that in the Lin clan, there are three big shots below the Patriarch. They're Grand Elder Lin Zhong Xian and Chief Weapon Craftsman Lin Yan … "Lin Feng glanced over and instantly saw the two old men. One of them had white hair and a ruddy complexion while the other had white sideburns. Obviously, they were quite old.
"The other one is the second in command of the Lin clan, Deputy Patriarch Lam Tok Tei." Lin Feng looked over.
Immediately, he saw a man with a resolute face. His eyes were bright, and he had the aura of a Pang Ran.
"Peng!" Lin Feng felt as if his head was about to explode.
He was not shocked by Lam Tok Tei's aura, but by his appearance.
Eighty percent, no, ninety percent similar!
"Father …" Lin Feng shouted wildly in his mind, and his eyes kept changing.
The man in front of him looked too much like his father. They were almost identical. The corners of his eyes, the forehead, and the expression …
But, he was not his father.
Even if they were ninety percent similar, there was still ten percent different.
Most importantly, his aura was completely different from his father's.
"He is Deputy Patriarch Lam Tok Tei?" Lin Feng's expression changed slightly, and he felt a little nervous.
According to his deduction, he only had one relative. His uncle Lin Jing should be his father's younger brother. The young man in front of him seemed to fit the requirements. He had the same face as his father, and his body was ninety percent similar. He would not believe that he was not related to his father by blood.
But …
He was not Lin Jing!
"Hmm? Maybe he is Lin Jing. The Deputy Patriarch is not here today? "Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly felt hopeful.
But soon, Lin Zhen's introduction eliminated this possibility.
Everything was as he had deduced.
This time, it was Patriarch Lin Zhen and the three leaders of the Lin clan.
They were all here!
…
"Greetings, seniors." Lin Feng bowed.
His expression was respectful, and he was neither servile nor overbearing. The four people in front of him were the four most powerful people in the Lin clan.
"The younger generation will surpass us in time." Lin Zhongxian smiled kindly.
"Very good, little guy." Lin Yan stroked his long beard and nodded with a smile.
Only Lam Tok Tei's expression was unreadable. He only looked at Lin Feng.
"No need to be so formal, Lin Feng." Lin Zhen laughed heartily and tried to smooth things over. "We have discussed the request you made last time. Unfortunately, we could not approve it. If we do, those rich kids can come and go as they please and learn our Lin clan's crafting techniques. It will be too damaging to the clan's reputation. "
"Hmm." Lin Feng nodded. "Patriarch's words are reasonable. I was rude."
His words were reasonable, and he knew that Lin Zhen would not let him go so easily.
Even if there were no restrictions on him for the next hundred years and he only had the title of "Lin clan" hanging on his head, it would still be of great help to them. At the very least, he would not be able to join any other crafting clans. There were only benefits.
"This is only a small matter." Lin Zhen smiled, and his eyes suddenly sparkled. "I will not beat around the bush, Lin Feng. Let's get straight to the point. Since you have become an apprentice craftsman of the Lin clan, are you willing to officially join the Lin clan and become an external martial practitioner? "
Lin Feng's eyes sparkled.
External martial practitioners referred to those who were loyal to the Lin clan and belonged to the Lin clan. They were the "sixth grade."
As time passed, many external martial practitioners would eventually reach the fifth grade or even the fourth grade according to their strength, contribution, and loyalty. They occupied a large proportion of the Lin clan. Apprentice craftsmen were only at the seventh grade, and had the lowest status in the Lin clan.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Patriarch." Lin Feng rejected without even thinking about it.
The sixth grade was far from what he wanted.
Lin Zhen smiled as if he was not surprised. He continued, "No, Lin Feng, this is only the first step according to the rules. Because of the "Crafting Guidebook," your contribution to the clan is sufficient. After our discussion, we can directly promote you to the fifth grade, "Branch Martial Practitioner."
One grade, one grade after another.
Lin Feng smiled faintly.
He was clear about Lin Zhen's intentions, and he slowly revealed his trump card. His methods were quite shrewd.
Branch Martial Practitioners referred to the branch existences of the Lin clan in the tens of thousands of prefectures around the Vermillion Bird Province. In terms of "bloodline," they might be very thin, but the bloodline of the Lin clan indeed flowed in their bodies. They were Branch Martial Practitioners who were loyal to the Lin clan.
Many martial practitioners of branch bloodlines could reach the fourth or third level in the family, comparable to the branch bloodline.
"I hope Patriarch will be magnanimous enough to forgive me. I only want to be free and not be bound by the clan." Lin Feng shook his head and refused without any hesitation. Whether it was the sixth grade or the fifth grade, they had no status in the Lin clan.
If he wanted to achieve his goal, he had to slowly infiltrate the Lin clan.
At the very least, he had to reach the fourth grade!
…
Rejected.
Rejected again!
The four people's expressions were somewhat ugly.
Especially Lin Zhen, who could only smile awkwardly after being rejected twice in a row. After waiting for half a month and seeing that Lin Feng had not moved at all, he finally tried to make a move. However, he did not expect to be completely rejected. Lin Feng seemed to be just as he had said the first time. He yearned for freedom and relaxation …
He had no interest in joining the Lin clan.
However, not to mention Branch Martial Practitioners and Branch Martial Practitioners, even Branch Martial Practitioners and Direct Martial Practitioners had to listen to the clan's orders.
How could they make an exception for Lin Feng alone?
You gain something and you lose something.
Freedom had never had anything to do with the clan.
"Lin Feng, why don't you consider it again?" Lin Zhen's eyes flashed. He was unwilling to give up and advised, "If you become a Branch Martial Practitioner, the clan can give you many benefits, including a cultivation environment, training facilities, refining materials, etc., and a more stable life. Also, the clan can protect you and be your backing. You don't have to worry about the identity token of the Vermillion Bird Continent because the clan will help you pay for it. "
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
Indeed, it was very tempting, especially the last one.
The identity tokens of the Vermillion Bird Continent were divided into Limestone, Rough Iron, Bronze, and so on. While they enjoyed different benefits, they had to pay a considerable fee every year. In order to survive, many Martial Practitioners had no choice but to join the various large sects, clans, and other forces.
How could it be so easy to stay in the Nine Provinces?
The greatest advantage of an Artificer Clan was that they were wealthy. The Lin clan did not lack money.
It was too easy to pay for the maintenance of the identity token.
"Okay, I will." Lin Feng smiled slightly.
He did not explicitly refuse, but his expression, demeanor, and tone told the four that joining was an impossible thing.
He did not refuse because he did not want to make the relationship between them tense and awkward.
"In that case, goodbye, seniors." Lin Feng bowed his head and left after saying those words.
However, this caused the four of them to frown slightly and reveal looks of disappointment.
The recruitment failed.
…
After coming out of the crystal space, Lin Feng quickly saw Lin Yumo.
The latter seemed to have just returned. He smiled and waved the 'Wood Spirit Heart' in his hand. Lin Feng also smiled and nodded.
Everything was going smoothly.
"It's about time."
"As long as I can refine this Eight-Star Spirit Treasure 'Blizzard Domain', I believe …"
"Everything will be settled."
Lin Feng's eyes sparkled and the corners of his mouth curled up.
It was all under his control.
