Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"Young friend Han!"

Xiao Tianbao was beaming with joy and full of energy. He was overjoyed to see Han Feng arrive.

"Senior Xiao, it's been a long time."

Han Feng greeted him.

"I heard you had come out of seclusion before?"

"Haha, you led the Xiao family to win first place in the competition. If I back down now, wouldn't I be missing out on this great opportunity?"

Times have changed. Now that the Xiao family members have proven themselves capable, Xiao Tianbao naturally doesn't need to hold back anymore.

"Where is Senior Tianhuo?"

"Here, play chess."

Xiao Tianbao pointed inside, where Yao Tianhuo was sitting in his seat, deep in thought about a chess game.

"Senior Tianhuo, how have you been these past few months?"

Han Feng asked with a smile.

"Ugh, it's not relaxing at all. I'm being abused by him all the time. If I had known this would happen, I would have gone back with you."

Frustrated, Yao Tianhuo put down his chess piece and decisively abandoned the game.

"I'm not playing anymore!"

"Hehe, you're bad at games but addicted to them. Do you think I want to play with you all day?"

Xiao Tianbao laughed and cursed.

"Young friend Han, is there something important you need to do this time?"

Han Feng replied, "I promised Supervisor Xue that I would attend the banquet in the capital last time. Senior Xiao should have received the invitation by now, right?"

As a Dou Zun powerhouse who has officially emerged from seclusion, it's impossible for the capital not to react.

"nature."

Xiao Tianbao also took out an invitation.

"That saves me trouble. I was originally thinking that if young friend Han doesn't have anything urgent, he could come with me to the capital for a stroll."

"This banquet is no ordinary event."

"Oh?"

Han Feng asked curiously.

"I heard from Supervisor Xue that the Empress is going to announce something important at the banquet. Is it related to this matter?"

"I'm not sure about that, but the Imperial Capital Banquet always gathers geniuses from all over the empire, and the most prestigious Heaven-level auction is also held at this time."

Xiao Tianbao recalled:

"I haven't been there for many years. I remember the last time, there was an eighth-grade longevity pill at the auction, which caused a frenzy among the crowd."

"An eighth-grade longevity pill? The Southern Li Empire has such a powerful alchemist?"

Han Feng was surprised.

"No, that's not true. Apart from you, young friend Han, I haven't seen any other eighth-grade alchemists in Nanli Kingdom. That pill most likely came from Zhongzhou."

Han Feng nodded, then suddenly asked, "Senior Xiao, are you aware of any unusual activity on the southern border?"

Xiao Tianbao was taken aback, and then his expression turned serious.

"You mean the Purple Shattered Ruins?"

"Exactly."

Xiao Tianbao sighed.

"That place is very troublesome. I heard a few days ago that a lot of troops were heading there. Although I don't know the specifics, it probably isn't good news."

Han Feng then asked, "Does Senior Xiao know anything about the Purple Shattered Ruins?"

Xiao Tianbao nodded.

"My father once accompanied the King of Nanli Kingdom into the Purple Shattered Ruins to annihilate the enemy army, so he knows more about that place than most people. Is Young Friend Han interested in the Purple Shattered Ruins?"

"Yes, to be honest, Senior Xiao, there is something I want in the Purple Shattered Ruins."

Han Feng told the truth.

Xiao Tianbao fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, but did not ask any further questions. He simply said "Wait a moment" and left the room to search for the hidden items.

"Young friend Han, the Purple Shattered Ruins is not a good place."

Yao Tianhuo, who was standing to the side, offered some advice.

That place is off-limits to humans. No one would want to go there unless they had a mission to protect their homeland.

"What does Senior Tianhuo know?"

Yao Tianhu shook his head: "I've never been there, but you should still remember the Lava World, right?"

"of course."

"The Purple Shattered Ruins are even more dangerous than that place!"

Han Feng didn't seem to notice anything, and simply replied with a nonchalant, "Oh."

Yaotianhuo covered his face.

"Never mind, I can't see through your strength right now. Be careful."

Han Feng laughed and said, "This time, I'm going to bring you along, Senior Tianhuo."

"what?"

Yaotianhuo was startled.

"My strength hasn't recovered yet."

Han Feng said helplessly, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. You're the only helper I have right now."

Yao Tianhuo frowned, his face showing difficulty.

The gossip has backfired on me.

"Hey, you little rascal..."

Yao Tianhuo stood up and stretched.

"Alright, I'll accompany you to venture into this Purple Shattered Ruins this time. I hope my old bones can still hold up."

Han Feng laughed and said, "There's no such thing as an old bone in a soul body."

Yao Tianhuo was about to retort when he saw Han Feng take out a pill that emitted a faint red glow.

"Eighth grade?"

Yao Tianhuo asked uncertainly.

"Yes, this is for your resurrection, the Bone Regeneration and Blood Fusion Pill."

As the pills fluctuated in Han Feng's hand, Yao Tianhuo's mood also rose and fell accordingly.

"You...you're going to resurrect me?"

"The one thing I'm here to do is restore your Dou Zun combat power."

Han Feng put away the pills and said, "Take these few days to adjust your condition. I plan to revive you before we set off."

Yao Tianhuo was so excited that he became incoherent.

"Okay, okay! I'll go adjust it right away!"

The surprise came so suddenly that Yao Tianhuo was completely dizzy.

The chance to be resurrected has been handed to us like this?

Xiao Tianbao then brought over his previous collection, which included a rough map of the Purple Shattered Ruins.

"Young friend Han, take a look. This is a route map drawn by my father back then."

Han Feng took a look and found that the map was drawn rather hastily, but it was still a clue.

"The royal family should have a more complete set of equipment. We'll go to the capital and ask them when the time comes."

Xiao Tianbao said.

“I have a few friends there, so I should be able to help.”

"This is......"

Han Feng looked at the black stone sealed in the container in Xiao Tianbao's hand and asked in surprise.

“This thing is very dangerous. My father kept it in a special container, and I have never opened it.”

Xiao Tianbao carefully handed it to Han Feng.

“My father said that the black ore inside is tainted with an evil aura that can drive living beings into a state of madness.”

"Only cultivators with strong soul power can resist it."

Han Feng silently looked at the black stone sealed in the container in his hand, thinking to himself that this was probably the most dangerous thing in the Purple Shattered Ruins.

"I understand. Can I take a look at this?"

"Yes, but please be sure to pay attention to safety."

Xiao Tianbao was very generous to Han Feng.

Han Feng returned to his room, pondered for a moment, and then broke the seal on the container.

An aura of restlessness emanated from it; despite the passage of time, it still retained the characteristics of the Purple Shattered Ruins.

Han Feng's eyes sharpened, and he used his soul skill to transform his soul power into a large bell, which he placed around the black stone.

Buzz!

The voice of the soul continued to vibrate, and the aura emanating from the black stone was restricted, preventing it from spreading further.

"What terrifying alien energy..."

After sensing for a moment, Han Feng sealed the black stone again.

This thing can corrupt battle qi, and then corrupt soul power, much like the Demon Sword fragments.

"Could it be that these forbidden zones for humans are all the work of the same race?"

Han Feng frowned as he thought to himself.

Chapter 106 Lord Skyfire

A few days later, Venerable Heavenly Fire was ready.

Han Feng led him to a quiet place in the Xiao family's residence.

Han Feng took out Duan Hong's corpse and a small clump of eighth-tier magical beast's essence blood, and placed them in the center of the field.

The corpse of a three-star Dou Zun, the essence blood of an eighth-order magical beast, and an eighth-grade Life Bone Fusion Blood Pill.

Each and every one of them was a priceless treasure, which Yaotianhuo saw and remembered.

Even when he was alive, he couldn't guarantee that he could collect all of these materials.

Han Feng, a Dou Zong, actually did it.

He was genuinely trying to help me.

"Senior Tianhuo, please grant me a wisp of your soul power."

A thin stream of soul energy shot out from between Yao Tianhuo's brows and was caught by Han Feng.

boom!

Sea Heart Flame, Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, Fallen Heart Flame.

The three strange flames merged into one and were thrown by Han Feng onto Duan Hong's corpse.

The corpse's skin was instantly ignited. Taking advantage of this moment, Han Feng poured the essence of Yaotian Fire into it, and then manipulated the blood essence of an eighth-tier magical beast to pour onto the corpse.
