Upon hearing this, Han Jianghe was taken aback.

He began to re-examine this young man named Ji Canghai.

It's rare to find someone who can earn such praise from Yu Liang.

He knew Yu Liang too well; that guy was arrogant and a master of putting on airs.

He wouldn't even give an ordinary cultivator a second glance.

To make him publicly admit that "his strength is no less than his,"

This in itself is a great affirmation.

Upon realizing this, the previous contempt on Han Jianghe's face vanished without a trace.

He stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lin Feng, and said with a smile:

"It turns out to be fellow Daoist Ji, disrespectful and disrespectful.

Since they are all at the Nascent Soul stage, they naturally have the right to stand here.

Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended.

His change in attitude was faster than turning the pages of a book.

But no one in the audience felt it was abrupt.

That's just how it is in the world of cultivation; strength reigns supreme.

A capable person is respected wherever they go.

Lin Feng, who had been silent all along, finally raised his eyes slightly, a half-smile curving his lips.

His gaze towards Han Jianghe was calm; although he had already sentenced the Han family to death, his tone remained unperturbed.

"It is my honor to have the opportunity to meet Fellow Daoist Han today."

"But I am merely a rogue cultivator, without any sect or affiliation, and I truly do not deserve such kindness from Fellow Daoist Han."

He spoke humbly, neither arrogant nor servile.

He was neither annoyed by Han Jianghe's previous disdain nor flattered by the other party's later politeness.

This composure made Han Jianghe think even more highly of him.

Han Jianghe saw that this "Ji Canghai" was so savvy.

He immediately felt the urge to win her over.

The Nascent Soul Realm is considered high-end combat power; it's a top-tier combat power regardless of the family.

If this person could be recruited into the Han family, it would be of great benefit to the Han family.

Thinking of this, Han Jianghe no longer concealed his thoughts.

He asked directly:

"Fellow Daoist Ji, may I ask which school of Daoist Ji you belong to?"

With such cultivation, one must have an extraordinary background, right?

He's here to test the waters.

If this person truly has some powerful backing, then the method of winning them over needs to be carefully considered.

If he is truly just a rogue cultivator, then we should try to recruit him.

Lin Feng didn't hide anything and smiled slightly: "An unknown rogue cultivator, not worth mentioning."

"So he's a rogue cultivator."

Han Jianghe was very satisfied.

But he was very shrewd and didn't show his joy.

"In that case, Fellow Daoist Ji, would you be willing to join my Han family as a guest elder?"

"My Han family has abundant cultivation resources, including miraculous pills, cultivation techniques, and classic texts. We will certainly not mistreat Fellow Daoist Ji."

As soon as he said this, the two elders beside Yu Liang exchanged a glance.

They all looked rather pale.

Han Jianghe's reach is far too far. Poaching people right in front of the young master of the Yu family, does he really think the Yu family has no one left?

Lin Feng paused for a moment, then a broad smile spread across his face.

"Since Fellow Daoist Han thinks highly of me, I will naturally not refuse."

In fact, Ji had long wanted to join one of the four great families of Nanhua County.

I've just been struggling because I don't have anyone to introduce me to someone.

Now that Fellow Daoist Han has personally extended an invitation, I, Ji, am deeply honored.

His words were sincere.

It even carried a perfectly appropriate hint of gratitude.

If someone didn't know him, they would really think he was a rogue cultivator who always wanted to curry favor with a powerful force.

But these words had a completely different meaning to Yu Liang.

He was completely stunned, staring at Lin Feng in disbelief.

He never expected that Ji Canghai would be so easy to talk to, agreeing to join the Han family in just a few words.

If he had known this would happen, he would have just approached them directly to recruit them.

With his status as the young master of the Yu family, coupled with the Yu family's influence in Nanhua County, he is by no means inferior to the Han family.

He was filled with regret.

Especially when he thought about how he had suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao when he tried to deduce this person's identity, spitting out a mouthful of blood and damaging his soul.

How could someone who could cause Heaven to turn against them be an ordinary person?

Such a person is simply rare and hard to come by.

Now, watching helplessly as Han Jianghe snatched him away, the frustration almost made Yu Liang lose his composure on the spot.

Meanwhile, Han Jianghe had some doubts in his mind.

He had originally planned to negotiate the price if the other party refused.

But to his utter surprise, "Ji Canghai" agreed so readily.

Without even considering it or asking about the salary, they agreed immediately.

This decisiveness, however, aroused suspicion in Han Jianghe's heart.

There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage is in high demand wherever he goes, so how could he be recruited so easily?

He couldn't help but begin to suspect that Ji Canghai's cultivation might be just a facade, a fraud, and not actually that powerful.

Or perhaps he has ulterior motives towards the Han family and wants to take the opportunity to get close to the core of the Han family?

These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

The smile on his face froze for a moment.

For a moment, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

He was the one who first proposed the recruitment, and now that the other party has agreed, he should be happy.

But this comes too easily, which is not a good thing.

Just then, Yu Liang, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up in a low voice:

"Fellow Daoist Ji, you might want to reconsider joining the Han family."

Although the Han family is powerful, my Yu family has just as many resources.

If Fellow Daoist Ji is willing, he may also consider my Yu family.

"I, Yu Liang, am the young master of the Yu family. I keep my word and will never mistreat you."

He couldn't resist in the end.

This was already a huge concession for him.

You must know that Yu Liang has always been proud, and it would be harder than climbing to heaven for him to take the initiative to recruit others.

But for the sake of the person in front of him, he forcefully suppressed his arrogance.

Han Jianghe, who was still hesitating, suddenly brightened up when he heard Yu Liang say this.

He seemed to have suddenly realized something, and no longer had any doubts.

He immediately interrupted Yu Liang with a smile:

"Haha, Brother Yu, that's not very kind of you."

Fellow Daoist Ji has already agreed to my request, so what's with you interfering?

Fellow Daoist Ji, rest assured, my Han family will definitely treat you with the utmost respect.

"Come, come, consider this magical artifact a small gift to express our gratitude."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Jianghe flipped his wrist and took out an item from his storage ring, then handed it to Lin Feng with a smile.

It was a gourd that was completely black, no bigger than the palm of your hand, with a smooth, mirror-like surface and a faint glow.

Although it was just an inconspicuous little gadget, judging from the fluctuations in its spiritual energy, it was at least a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

His gesture was quite generous.

A mid-grade spiritual artifact is enough to make ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators fight tooth and nail for it.

The fact that it's now being used as a gift shows just how deep the Han family's resources are.

If it were someone else, they would probably be polite for a while, and then reluctantly accept it.

But to everyone's surprise, Lin Feng reached out and took the black gourd without hesitation.

He was still smiling as he turned the item over and over in his hands, examining it closely.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Han, you're too kind."

Since you are so kind as to accept my invitation, then I, Ji, will take the liberty of doing so.
