Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 663 Yao Chen (slaps hard): My good disciple! Take over my mantle!
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's "heartfelt words," Han Feng's expression instantly changed drastically, turning as ugly as if he had eaten shit!
"Impossible! You must be lying to me, right? Right?!" Han Feng staggered a few steps, then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yan's collar, his reddened eyes staring intently at Xiao Yan in front of him!
"Tell me! You're lying to me! That old bastard is incredibly selfish and never teaches me any real skills! How could he possibly be as good as you describe?!" Han Feng stared intently at Xiao Yan, having no doubt about Xiao Yan's identity whatsoever!

Because very few people know about the relationship between Han Feng and Yao Chen!

"Waaaaah, really...no way!" Xiao Yan seemed a little surprised by Han Feng's reaction, but he still pretended to cry and look aggrieved.

Xiao Yan hadn't expected that he had such a good talent for acting. Of course, the biggest reason Xiao Yan could keep acting was his Dou Zun strength.
Although Han Feng was twisting his collar and shaking him vigorously, Xiao Yan knew that if he used even a little force, Han Feng would be a dead man.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Han Feng's expression changed drastically in an instant, and he shook his head repeatedly. He simply couldn't believe that the despicable old man would actually speak well of him at the last moment?

If I had known this would happen, what were I doing back then?
Is Xiao Yan lying?
Han Feng frowned involuntarily. What motive would Xiao Yan have to lie? He was a Dou Zong! Why would Xiao Yan risk his life to tell him these things?!
The fundamental reason why Han Feng did not doubt Xiao Yan's identity was that Han Feng believed no one would risk their life to deliver a message to him.
"During the time when Master's soul was growing weaker and weaker, he would often call out Senior Brother's name," Xiao Yan said, his eyes brimming with tears. "Senior Brother, Master... Master can't let you go even as a ghost!!!"

The medicine dust inside Xiao Yan's body: "..." He couldn't refute Xiao Yan's words for a moment.
"..." Han Feng didn't speak, but his face turned pale and angry at the same time. Finally, he put down the tearful Xiao Yan and sat down weakly on the wooden chair behind him.

"What else did that old man say?" Han Feng remained silent for a long time before finally asking in a deep voice.

"..." Xiao Yan's eyes darted around, and he quickly made up a story: "He said he shouldn't have let you know about the Burning Technique in the first place; he said it wasn't his true inheritance."

"Burning Technique?!" As if triggering some keyword, the Sea Heart Flame on Han Feng's body instantly surged violently, but Han Feng quickly suppressed it, and looked at Xiao Yan with icy eyes: "You've cultivated the Burning Technique?!"

Xiao Yan nodded quickly: "Yes. My teacher, out of guilt towards you, Senior Brother, decided to give me the Maple Manual."

"You have the Burning Technique?! The complete version?!" Perhaps because of some previous words, Han Feng was excited at this moment, but he was extremely restrained. He did not have the urge to suddenly step forward and grab Xiao Yan's neck.

"Uh, yes, the teacher said that if Senior Brother wanted it, he would have given it to you long ago. But..." Xiao Yan's little brain was working at lightning speed, thinking of how to make this sound convincing, completely ignoring the fact that Yao Chen inside his body had already turned ashen-faced.

Seeing the Burning Technique, which he had longed for and even felt was about to become a demon in his heart, now so readily available, Han Feng felt a little dreamlike and unreal.

Han Feng had expected to be excited, but instead, he sat silently on the wooden chair, looking at Xiao Yan, who was still lying on the ground opposite him with a wronged and sad expression. After a long silence, he asked, "But what?"

Han Feng didn't even ask about the Burning Technique.
Huh? Xiao Yan was slightly startled, then quickly racked his brains: "But Master said... the Burning Technique isn't his inheritance, it's not his mantle. He wants you to be his successor. He admitted he was wrong; he shouldn't have tested the Burning Technique on you."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but give himself a mental thumbs up. He was amazing! He managed to smooth things over!

Han Feng trembled slightly, his face silent. His mind was in complete turmoil. Although he felt that old man Yao Chen wasn't that kind, he had no reason to refute Xiao Yan's words.
After all, Yao Chen is dead.
According to Xiao Yan, Yao Chen regarded Han Feng as his successor.
"After cultivating the Burning Technique, one cannot inherit his mantle?" Han Feng asked.

“Yes, after cultivating the Burning Technique, every time you devour a different kind of fire, it's a matter of life and death. It will sever the inheritance,” Xiao Yan nodded hurriedly.

'I'm amazing! Absolutely flawless!' Xiao Yan gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Having not played the fool to deceive others for so long, Xiao Yan felt his acting talent stirring, so he couldn't resist putting on a show for Han Feng.

What surprised Xiao Yan was that Han Feng could actually understand human speech.

"That old man didn't make you his successor?" Han Feng looked at Xiao Yan, his gaze complicated.

In Han Feng's view, the words he was willing to say at the cost of his life were highly credible.

"How could I possibly be worthy of this!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain, his expression and demeanor perfectly natural, as if it were a gift from heaven.

"You acted that line very well," Yao Chen couldn't help but praise.

'I'm telling the truth, okay?' Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain.

Yaochen: "."

"You're not worthy?" Han Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"My teacher has always treated me like a guinea pig for medicine experiments. He hasn't passed on his true mantle to me at all. He only gave me the Refining Burning Technique because he wanted me to be his medicine-refining guinea pig and a tool for him." Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain, his true feelings revealed.

Yaochen: "."

"Alright, if the Burning Technique isn't the mantle, then what is that old man's true mantle?" Han Feng looked at Xiao Yan for a long time and finally felt that the other party wasn't lying.

"Senior Brother, do you want to accept the true mantle left to you by our teacher?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

"Huh? He gave it to you?" Han Feng frowned.

"Give them all to me! Before he died, my teacher said that I could cultivate the Burning Technique, but the true mantle must be passed on to you, Senior Brother!" Xiao Yan said, his eyes shining.

Han Feng remained silent, stroking his beard as if deep in thought.

Burning Technique tormented him for decades, yet he treated Burning Technique like his first love.
Han Feng didn't have such masochistic tendencies, especially since he understood that cultivating the Burning Technique was a matter of life and death, and this was no joke.

Xiao Yan is right. Cultivating the Burning Flame Technique can easily lead to death. If he is truly the heir apparent, then the Burning Flame Technique is indeed not suitable for him. Moreover, Han Feng, who has wandered the Dou Qi Continent for many years, has gained a relatively profound understanding of the world.

This world has more ordinary people, and it is also more wonderful.

Han Feng used to be extremely obsessed with the Burning Technique, mainly because at that time, he only knew about the Burning Technique.

The theoretical upper limit of the Burning Technique is very high, Han Feng knows. He used to think that he should be able to cultivate to the limit, but as he wandered on the Dou Qi Continent, he finally realized that he might not be that kind of genius. If he could choose between a Heaven-rank technique and the Burning Technique, he would choose the Heaven-rank technique.

Moreover, the Burning Technique was not good, but Han Feng had matured and he saw his own shortcomings and ordinariness.

However, if the young Han Feng were to choose, he would always choose the Burning Technique.
It's like asking students to choose between a prestigious university and a million dollars. Many ambitious students would choose the university, but if they were to choose again after entering the workforce, most of them would choose the million dollars. At least, that's the case for most people.

So, is Yao Chen's ultimate inheritance a Heaven-rank cultivation technique?

Slowly regaining his senses, Han Feng looked at Xiao Yan in front of him and asked in silence, "What is Yao Chen's legacy?"

"Senior Brother is willing to accept the inheritance??" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. At this moment, he suddenly understood the pleasure that Jiang Lin had felt when he tricked people like fools!
"If one is strong enough, then it's not impossible." Han Feng remained silent for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yan for a long time. He seemed to understand why Xiao Yan was doing this.
Perhaps that old man's junior brother was trying to persuade me, his senior brother, to give up the Burning Technique, accept the final inheritance, and then have this junior brother cultivate the Burning Technique to become his Flame Child?

The Child of Different Flames? When this thought crossed Han Feng's mind, he instantly felt incredibly heavy-hearted. He couldn't help but begin to doubt himself: How could that old man become so kind after he died? He'd prepared everything for him?

"Damn it! Senior Brother! Teacher said that's a legacy that can break through the upper limit, or even stabilize the peak! I want it but he won't give it to me! He said that because I cultivated the Burning Technique, I'm destined to be a short-lived ghost!" Xiao Yan himself was also very surprised. He didn't expect that in this world, besides fighting and killing, there would be swindling and deception!
Look at Han Feng, he's been fooled by himself so much he's almost forgotten who he is!

Han Feng raised an eyebrow. That old man actually had such good stuff? Could it be that he really misunderstood him before?
"Damn it, why didn't you take it out sooner? Why did you have to bring this on yourself!" Han Feng couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The conflict between Han Feng and Yao Chen is actually quite simple: the Burning Technique.

Yao Chen tried to persuade Han Feng to give up the Burning Technique, but Han Feng insisted on cultivating it.

However, Han Feng only possessed half of the Burning Technique, and the backlash from the strange fire occurred frequently, while Yao Chen refused to provide the remaining portion of the Burning Technique.
In Yao Chen's view, Han Feng would eventually give up if he couldn't hold on any longer.

But in Han Feng's mind, he was going to die. Either Yao Chen would die, or he would die.
Thus, conflict erupted between the two sides. Han Feng, who might not even be a Dou Huang, betrayed the then-powerful Yao Zun Zhe and even killed him.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, are you going to accept the mantle of our teacher?" Xiao Yan asked with anticipation.

"..." Han Feng looked at the expectation on Xiao Yan's face and subconsciously interpreted it as Xiao Yan not wanting to cultivate the Burning Technique himself, which would cause everyone to die young or lead to an irreconcilable conflict between the two sides. Naturally, the other party had reason to be expectant.

"If you're strong enough, then yes," Han Feng said in a deep voice.

Now, his youthful spirit has been worn down too much. If there were a safer option, he would not continue to choose the Burning Technique.

"Senior Brother, are you really going to accept the master's mantle?" Xiao Yan asked again, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Hmm? I'm sure. If it's strong enough, I can accept it." Han Feng nodded, solemnly expressing his attitude.

Then, in the next instant, a pitch-black hand suddenly slapped down on his forehead!

"Good disciple! Take over my mantle!" Within Xiao Yan's body, Ghost Sect Yao Chen, whose soul power was comparable to that of a high-level Dou Zong, emerged directly and slapped Han Feng's shiny forehead hard!

"What?!" Han Feng didn't even have time to react before Yao Chen, a high-level Ghost Sect member, slapped him squarely on the forehead!

In an instant, Han Feng felt his soul lose consciousness and his body rapidly decay!
When Han Feng regained consciousness, he found himself seemingly dead, for he saw Yao Chen transformed into a vengeful ghost.
and himself
Han Feng looked at himself and realized that he seemed to have turned into a little devil as well.
"You guys are so wicked." Jiang Lin, who had been silent in the shadows until now, finally couldn't help but complain to the evil master and disciple pair behind him as they flew out of Maple City.

"Hehe." The next moment, Xiao Yan walked out of the void and chuckled at Jiang Lin in front of him. Inside his body, Yao Chen was still explaining the 'rules of being a ghost' to the little ghost Han Feng.

"Never mind, how many Origin Pills do we have left?" Jiang Lin asked Xiao Yan.

"There are still over a hundred left; Elder Yao has consumed quite a few," Xiao Yan replied.

Xiao Yan's Origin Pill provided a great deal of help in enabling Yao Chen to cultivate to the advanced Ghost Sect realm so quickly.

Yao Chen and Pei Xuan worked together to create a ghost cultivation technique called "Ghost Spirit Technique". Relying on the realm logic of Heavenly Grade and Emperor Grade souls, as well as the fusion characteristics of soul and battle qi, plus Yao Chen and Pei Xuan's own insights, and Jiang Lin's silent help, they finally created a bizarre technique.

Initially, Pei Xuan wanted to call the power fused with soul and battle qi "soul power," but Yao Chen felt that if the power was soul power, then wouldn't the realm be Soul Master or Soul Venerable? Wouldn't magical beasts become soul beasts if they cultivated? This name sounded ominous. And wasn't it a duplicate name? Yes, it was a duplicate name with the Soul Clan.

Thus, Yao Chen adopted the name 'Ghost' and called the special power of his fused soul force and battle qi 'Ghost Qi'. With his soul realm now firmly established at the Dou Zun level, coupled with the power boost from the Origin Pill, he broke through to the high-level Ghost Sect realm in just half a year.

In terms of true combat strength, Yao Chen of the Ghost Sect could chase most unsuspecting high-level Dou Zong out of their dung like chasing a toad.
The reason is simple: if we say that Jiang Lin's path to the Origin Sect is a test of a Fighting Sect's physique.

Therefore, Yao Chen's path to the Ghost Sect is the soul test for the Dou Sect.
It will take some time before the techniques to resist the combat techniques of the Origin Sect and the Ghost Sect can be developed.
"Okay, give me some. I'll go to the Chuyun Empire and deliver some resources to Mr. Yao." Jiang Lin got some Source Pills from Xiao Yan, then went to the Chuyun Empire, delivered the Source Pills to Mr. Yao, and quickly returned.
