The next moment, many people immediately put on warm but measured smiles and stood up to clasp their hands in greeting:
"So it's Fellow Daoist Han! I've long admired your name!"
"A distinguished disciple of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace indeed possesses extraordinary bearing!"
"I am [your name], and I greet Fellow Daoist Han!"
In a short time, more than a dozen people gathered around, speaking with great respect and clearly intending to befriend him.
They were not shallow people. Even though Han Xuanji's cultivation level seemed low on the surface, they would never dare to show any contempt on the surface.
The atmosphere in the arena immediately became even more lively due to Han Xuanji's arrival.
Han Xuanji remained calm and nodded slightly to everyone in return.
Just then, a clear, bell-like laugh came from afar.
"Brother! Look who I brought!"
Xuanyuan Ling'er, like a joyful firebird, strode into the Gathering of Heroes.
Behind her followed a young man wearing a bronze mask and the attire of a guest official; it was Lin Feng.
Led by Xuanyuan Ling'er, Lin Feng, with a deliberately restrained demeanor, stepped into the Gathering of Heroes Pavilion.
He concealed his cultivation level perfectly, pretending to be only a newly ascended Golden Immortal.
However, just as his gaze habitually swept across the room and assessed the people present, a rather familiar figure appeared in his eyes, instantly stirring up a storm in his heart!
It's him!
That mysterious person standing in front of the stall, who seemed to see right through him!
How did he get here?
Moreover... he was actually sitting next to the main seat, with Xuanyuan Po personally accompanying him.
Lin Feng quickly lowered his head, suppressing his shock and refusing to think any further.
Could it be that the other party saw through his disguise?
He felt as if he had fallen into some kind of trap.
Xuanyuan Ling'er, of course, had no idea what Lin Feng was thinking. She tugged at Lin Feng's sleeve and proudly showed off to Xuanyuan Po:
"Brother, I've recruited a genius for you! He's incredibly talented and has a deep understanding of High Antiquity texts. Although he only recently broke through to the Golden Immortal, I think he has immense potential!"
Everyone around held their breath when they saw this little tyrant appear.
Xuanyuan Ling'er holds a superior position in Xuanyuan City. She is Xuanyuan Po sister, possesses unparalleled talent among her generation, and is deeply loved by the ancestor.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Lin Feng.
A rogue Golden Immortal Rogue Cultivator?
"So you followed Miss Ling'er's lead..."
"You're lucky to have caught Miss Ling'er's eye."
Sensing the slightly weak aura emanating from Lin Feng, as if he had only recently stabilized his cultivation level, and upon hearing Xuanyuan Ling'er's introduction, the curiosity in everyone's eyes quickly faded, replaced by a faint sense of aloofness and indifference.
A mere Rogue Cultivator has just entered the Golden Immortal realm, even if he has some unorthodox knowledge and was fortunate enough to help Miss Ling'er once, is really nothing compared to the many geniuses and veteran Golden Immortal here.
Some gazes even carried a hint of disdain, suggesting that this person was using the opportunity to curry favor with the Xuanyuan Household.
A powerful Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm swept his Divine Sense over Lin Feng, but only nodded slightly and did not pay much attention to him.
In his view, this boy had a decent foundation, nothing strange about him, but nothing extraordinary either.
Lin Feng sensed the gazes around him. His expression remained calm beneath the mask, and he merely bowed slightly to Xuanyuan Po and the others. His voice, coming through the mask, sounded somewhat muffled:
" Lin Feng greets His Highness Xuanyuan and fellow Daoists."
Xuanyuan Po was already used to his sister bringing people. Seeing that Lin Feng's cultivation was mediocre, he didn't pay too much attention to him, even though his sister had brought him. He simply smiled gently.
"Since you are Ling'er's friend, please make yourself at home and don't stand on ceremony."
Lin Feng silently walked to an inconspicuous corner of the attic and sat down, trying to minimize his presence.
Xuanyuan Po's attention immediately returned to Han Xuanji. Seeing Han Xuanji's curiosity, he quietly explained:
"This is my younger sister, Ling'er. She's just as talented as me, but she loves to play."
[ Xuanyuan Ling'er: Golden Immortal Third Layer, a person of great fortune, with Innate Dao Physique, a Supreme-Grade Dao Spirit Root, possessing a wisp of innate phoenix origin, the bloodline of Holy Emperor, favored by Tianming, naturally carefree, she wants to help Xuanyuan Po contend for the throne of the Human Emperor, because Lin Feng is proficient in High Antiquity scripts and has a mysterious origin, she is somewhat curious about him.]
Han Xuanji took in all of this and couldn't help but secretly complain to himself.
Wow, the standard setup of a main character and a female lead.
He seemed to have already foreseen the rest: Lin Feng pretending to be weak while being underestimated by everyone → encountering a crisis → Lin Feng being "forced" to reveal part of his strength, shocking everyone → everyone looking at him with new respect → Xuanyuan Ling'er admiring him even more... The whole process was practically predictable.
However, Lin Feng is probably not that simple. He is not a useless person who rose to power; he is an unparalleled expert, and his purpose should be more than simple.
They've come to the Xuanyuan Household, surely they're plotting something?
Han Xuanji picked up the spiritual tea beside him, took a small sip, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes that went unnoticed by anyone.
He was also curious about how many simulations of Lin Feng would be needed.
As the reincarnation of an emperor, and possessing great fortune, one would expect his achievements in this life to be quite remarkable.
[Thirty times.]
"?"
Han Xuanji was startled.
One look in their eyes confirmed it; it was a price they couldn't afford.
Jiang Hao, who has stepped into the Hunyuan Realm, only needs twelve times.
Is Lin Feng really that fierce?
So, the other party's future achievements will far surpass Jiang Hao's; he is not just an ordinary Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, but very likely has stepped into the Hunyuan Taiji Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
What a pity.
Han Xuanji's current number of simulation attempts is insufficient to simulate Lin Feng, while the others present require far too few.
However, Xuanyuan Ling'er's future prospects are not simple either; she will need five more.
"Never mind, I'll save them for now."
Han Xuanji shook his head. He was already Nine-Transformation Daluo Golden Immortal, so ordinary rewards were of little use to him.
Seeing that the atmosphere inside the pavilion had become lively and that everyone had introduced themselves to each other, Xuanyuan Po cleared his throat. His voice, containing a trace of spiritual power, clearly reached everyone's ears, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"Fellow Daoists, your gathering here today is a testament to your shared ideals and aspirations. I, Xuanyuan Po, express my sincere gratitude."
He first bowed respectfully, his expression sincere, then changed the subject, his tone becoming solemn and alluring.
"I have invited you all here today not only to reminisce about our friendship, but also to share an important fortuitous opportunity with you all."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng immediately became interested and adopted a serious attitude.
Han Xuanji, however, didn't seem to feel anything. He planned to visit the Xuanyuan Household tonight to sign in.
We can't have come all this way for nothing.
Now that it has been discovered that the Xuanyuan Household lacks Hunyuan expert to oversee things, doesn't that mean he can do whatever he wants?
