Patriarch Wang’s gaze became slightly sharper as he looked at him.
"Could it be that Alchemist Long happens to possess a Fifth-Rank Pill?"
His voice was calm. But Long Feng could clearly see the heat hidden deep within his eyes.
This made him understood that this is critical moment of discussion. Any wrong word could disturb the balance between them and shed the river of blood here.
’So that’s what you’re thinking.’
However, he wasn’t a fool to directly admit such thing in front of him.
"Unfortunately, I don’t."
The disappointment in Patriarch Wang’s eyes was obvious. He sighed quietly, leaning back to his seat.
"That’s a pity."
However, Long Feng suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"Although I don’t have a Fifth-Rank Pill, there is another method."
Patriarch Wang’s expression changed again as he leaned forward again.
"Another method?"
Long Feng didn’t directly answered, but leaned back slightly.
"Patriarch Wang, are you doubting my ability?"
A faint smile appeared on his face as he raise his right hand. A faint purple flame suddenly appeared on the tip of his finger.
The flame slowly swayed around his hand, like a child’s plaything.
But he could feel a terrifying and sinister aura that spread throughout the hall. The temperature around them seemed to rise considerably.
Patriarch Wang’s expression changed dramatically. His eyes stared at the purple flame.
"That’s... a Strange Flame!"
Long Feng smiled, but didn’t said anything. The purple flame danced gently around his fingertip.
It was the Hell Python Flame.
A strange flame born from the corpse of a Sixth-Rank Hell Python. Even a Nascent Soul Realm expert would recognize the value of such a treasure.
Patriarch Wang’s attitude immediately changed, softening a few degree.
"Alchemist Long truly possesses a genius bearing!"
His previous doubt had completely disappeared. His voice was now filled with admiration.
"To think that at such a young age, you have already obtained such a powerful Strange Flame. Your future is truly limitless."
Long Feng casually withdrew the flame.
"Patriarch Wang is too kind."
The middle-aged man smiled. He didn’t dare to underestimate this wet behind ear kid in front of him.
However, deep inside, his thoughts were already racing.
He couldn’t help but wonder what exactly this young man was planning. Could this person really help him improve his cultivation?
Or perhaps this young alchemist had some other method?
His eyes flickered with different thoughts.
If Long Feng truly possessed a method capable of helping a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator advance, then the value of a Soul Enchanting Violet would be nothing compared to it.
However, there were also some hidden risks.
Patriarch Wang didn’t immediately said anything about the Soul Enchanting Violet. Instead, he changed the topic.
"Alchemist Long, since you’ve come all this way, why don’t you stay in our Wang Family for some time? I will personally host a small banquet tonight in honor of your arrival."
Long Feng had originally planned to find an excuse to remain in the Wang Family’s territory. Now, the Patriarch himself had invited him to stay.
Naturally, there was no reason to refuse.
"Since Patriarch Wang has personally invited me, then I will have to trouble you."
"Hahaha! It’s no trouble at all."
Patriarch Wang’s smile became wider.
The two of them looked at each other. On the surface, they were both smiling warmly. But deep inside, each of them was calculating their own plans.
Long Feng wanted the Soul Enchanting Violet.
And Patriarch Wang, he wanted to know exactly what this young Third-Rank Alchemist was capable of.
For the moment, neither side revealed their true intentions, but Long Feng knew one thing.
He had finally found the right place. There might also be the rare and dangerous Soul Enchanting Violet he had been searching for.

That night, the Wang Family held a banquet to welcome their distinguished guest.
The banquet was held in a spacious hall decorated with beautiful lanterns and elegant ornaments. Several elders of the Wang Family were present, along with a few younger members of the clan.
Long Feng sat beside the Wang Family’s Patriarch.
The atmosphere was quite lively. Most of the elders had already heard about his identity.
A young Third-Rank Alchemist and disciple of the Azura Heaven Sect.
And, most importantly, someone who had managed to achieve all of this at such a young age. Naturally, they were extremely curious about him.
"Alchemist Long is truly young and promising."
"Indeed. To become a Third-Rank Alchemist at such an age, his talent must be extraordinary."
"I heard that Alchemist Long is also a disciple of the Azura Heaven Sect?"
One of the Wang Family elders couldn’t help but ask.
"We heard from the Patriarch that you are already an Inner Disciple of the Azura Heaven Sect."
"Even becoming an Inner Disciple of the Azura Heaven Sect is something worthy of respect."
The elder’s words weren’t exaggerated.
The Azura Heaven Sect was one of the Seven Great Sects of the Central Region.
Every time the sect held its entrance examination, tens of thousands of young cultivators would arrive from all directions, hoping to become disciples.
However, only a few thousand would ultimately succeed.
The competition was extremely fierce.
To become an Inner Disciple, was even more difficult.
Even the Wang Family’s elders were not necessarily worthy of being treated with the same respect in many places as an Inner Disciple of the Azura Heaven Sect.
Long Feng naturally understood this. However, he didn’t show any pride. He simply smiled and raised his wine cup.
"Everyone is too kind."
"Hahaha! Alchemist Long is truly humble."
The banquet continued as the Wang Family members occasionally asked Long Feng about his experiences in the Azura Heaven Sect.
Long Feng answered some questions while avoiding others.
He wasn’t particularly interested in revealing too much about himself. However, as time passed, another person gradually approached him.
She was a young woman who appeared to be in her early twenties. She had a beautiful face and a graceful, curvaceous figure, with a slender waist and well-proportioned curves. Her long hair was neatly tied behind her head, revealing her delicate features.
There was a faint charm in her eyes that made her especially captivating, while her elegant posture added to her natural allure.
She was the daughter of the Wang Family’s Patriarch. With a faint smile on her lips, she slowly approached Long Feng.
"My name is Wang Meiying. I hope I’m not disturbing you."
"Of course not." Long Feng shook his head.
Hearing his reply, Wang Meiying smiled brightly.
"I’ve heard quite a lot about you tonight. Actually, I also once participated in the Azura Heaven Sect’s entrance examination."
"Really?"
Finally, some interest appeared on his face after coming here.
"Yes."
A trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes.
"Unfortunately, I was not talented like you and failed to become outer disciple."
Long Feng wasn’t surprised with her failure.
Although she is quiet beautiful and daughter of Wang family’s patriarch, the aura she releasing was only at Spirit Condensing Realm.
This talent could be seems high in such scare place, but ultimately it was even lower than his original body owner. Her failure wasn’t anything unusual.
However, seeing the faint disappointment on her beautiful face, Long Feng offered a few words of comfort.
"There’s no need to be discouraged. There are countless talented cultivators who fail to enter the Azura Heaven Sect."
"Really?"
Wang Meiying’s eyes brightened.
"Then you don’t think I’m untalented?"
"Of course not." Long Feng smiled lightly, faking his expressions.
Her smile immediately became brighter upon hearing his comforting words.
"Alchemist Long really knows how to comfort people."
She leaned slightly closer. "Perhaps you can tell me more about the Azura Heaven Sect?"
Long Feng glanced at her, his gaze attracts towards the fullness of her mounts, that showed even more after leaning.
"You want to know?"
"Of course."
Wang Meiying’s eyes sparkled with interest. "I’ve always been curious about the Azura Heaven Sect, one of the seven great sects."
She continued asking him questions. At first, they were about the Azura Heaven Sect. But gradually, the conversation changed.
She began asking about Long Feng himself.
It wasn’t difficult for Long Feng to notice what she was doing. This woman was clearly trying to get closer to him.
However, Long Feng didn’t mind.
Wang Meiying was indeed beautiful.
Her voice was pleasant, her smile charming, and her every movement carried a natural elegance.
She was like a beautiful vixen who knew exactly how to make a man feel comfortable in her presence.
Long Feng found himself becoming slightly attracted to her.
After all, he was still a young man.
It was impossible for him to remain completely indifferent when such a beautiful woman deliberately approached him.
Across the banquet hall, the Wang Family Patriarch quietly watched the interaction between his daughter and Long Feng.
A smile appeared in his eyes.
He naturally understood his daughter’s intentions. And he had no intention of stopping her.
On the contrary, he was quite pleased. Long Feng was a young Third-Rank Alchemist and Inner Disciple of the Azura Heaven Sect.
And he also possessed a powerful Strange Flame, maybe he had more background than it seems on surface.
If his daughter could establish a close relationship with someone like him, it would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to the Wang Family.
The Patriarch’s eyes flashed with satisfaction.
’Meiying seems to have taken a liking to him. That’s good.’
He took another sip of wine.
’Perhaps I should talk to Alchemist Long tomorrow.’
He had already made a decision.
Tomorrow, he would have a private conversation with Long Feng. There were some matters that couldn’t be discussed in front of everyone.
Especially when it involved the Soul Enchanting Violet. And perhaps, the cultivation of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
The Patriarch’s smile deepened.
The banquet continued late into the night.
