Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"Of course, I won't waste my time here."

As she said this, Medusa glanced at Cai'er, rebuking the idle woman.

However, it was no use. Cai'er still looked at Han Feng without a care in the world, smiling charmingly.

waste!

Medusa snorted coldly.

"Good efficiency, keep up the good work."

Han Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Medusa seems to be very hardworking.

Once she has saved enough for her first consultation fee, I'll give her a proper medical check-up.

Han Feng thought kindly.

After resting in the bamboo house for about half an hour, Han Feng went to the city lord's mansion again.

Fan Lao and others had been waiting in the reception room for a long time.

Upon seeing Han Feng enter, they all bowed and respectfully addressed him as "Medicine Emperor".

"I have already refined the pills for you all. You can come and collect them once the accounts are settled."

Fan Lao couldn't wait to step forward and hand the storage ring to Han Feng.

"Medicine King, all the medicinal herbs you requested have been gathered."

After Han Feng took it and carefully examined it, he confirmed that it was correct and handed the Imperial Pill to Fan Lao.

"Sect Leader Fan, please keep this safe."

Fan Lao excitedly gripped the jade bottle in his hand, uncapped it, and took a deep breath.

"Thank you, Medicine King!"

"Next person."

......

After delivering the pills to the group, Han Feng received a huge reward.

Alchemists make a fortune; as long as you master the skills, you can easily amass wealth.

"Lord of the city, the venue for the alchemy competition has been set up and is ready for your inspection."

After Elder Liu knocked on the door and entered, he bowed and reported.

Chapter 50 Fire Elder

Han Feng arrived at the competition venue in a horse-drawn carriage. His first impression was that it was spacious and impressive.

Upon closer inspection, one sees an open-air stone platform, high seats for onlookers, and floors decorated with exquisite minerals. The main building in the distance has clearly been renovated, with a huge "Maple" character that exudes power and majesty, showcasing the style of Maple City.

"Isn't this a bit too ostentatious?"

Han Feng sighed.

"Only in this way can your rank be truly reflected, City Lord! You are the only seventh-grade alchemist in the Black Corner Region!"

"Ok."

Han Feng nodded. The competition was about to begin, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble. Let him be flamboyant if he wanted.

After touring the area, Elder Liu explained the detailed design of each part to Han Feng, as well as the arrangements after the competition began.

Han Feng offered some minor suggestions, but overall he was quite satisfied.

Three days later, the Canaan Academy delegation arrived in Maple City.

Han Feng personally went out of the city to greet them. The person leading the group was Elder Huo from the Alchemy Department, a fifth-grade alchemist and a Dou Huang powerhouse.

"Elder Huo, how have you been?"

"The Medicine King".

In front of the public, Elder Huo couldn't afford to be impolite. Although the Grand Elder had warned him to be careful of Han Feng, Han Feng was the host and was being very hospitable.

Elder Huo bowed respectfully, appearing quite polite.

"Welcome to Maple City, faculty and students of Canaan Academy. Please have a good rest today. I look forward to your performance on the field tomorrow."

Han Feng looked at the team behind Elder Huo and said a few words of encouragement.

These students were not involved in many of the secrets of the Black Corner Region, nor did they know much about Han Feng. However, seeing his gentle and refined appearance, they immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards him.

After all, he is a seventh-grade alchemist, a role model for us on our path to progress. I never expected him to encourage us in person.

"I heard that the top three in this alchemy competition will have the opportunity to receive guidance from the Medicine King."

"The first prize is a sixth-grade Battle Spirit Pill formula, a priceless breakthrough pill. Why would the Medicine Emperor take out such a treasured secret to teach someone else?"

These students were understandably excited; they never received such an award in their daily lives at the college.

Han Feng instructed Feng Linwei to lead the participating teams to a designated inn to rest, while he and Elder Huo talked together.

"The Medicine King has really gone all out this time."

Elder Huo was backed by Canaan Academy, and his mission was to test Han Feng, so he did not back down.

"Since this is the first time it has been held, it should be done in a grand manner. If the rewards are not attractive, how can we encourage the students of Canaan Academy to participate?"

Elder Huo asked curiously, "What is the purpose of the Medicine King in holding this alchemy competition? Could it be that he has taken a liking to the students of my Canaan Academy?"

Han Feng chuckled softly: "What, does Canaan Academy not allow its students to graduate?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Huo smiled helplessly.

Yes, Canaan Academy is, in the end, just an academy.

Once the students graduate, they are free to choose whether to stay or leave.

If someone truly wants to join Maple City, Canaan Academy has no right to stop them.

"Elder Huo, let's set aside the matter of recruiting talent for now. The reason we invited you here is that we do have something to discuss."

"Oh?"

Elder Huo raised an eyebrow, his expression turning serious.

Is this the time to get down to business?

Han Feng paused for a moment before speaking:

"What do you think will happen to the Black Corner Region if I join Canaan Academy?"

Elder Huo was dumbfounded.

He stood there for more than ten seconds before suddenly looking at Han Feng.

"Is the Medicine King joking with me?"

If a seventh-grade alchemist were to join Canaan Academy, needless to say, the situation in Black Corner Region would likely fall into the same silence as when Dean Mang Tianchi personally visited.

It should be noted that a seventh-grade alchemist has an extremely strong appeal, and inviting a Dou Zong level expert is a piece of cake.

Therefore, even though Han Feng himself has not reached the Dou Zong level, no Dou Zong expert would underestimate him.

Seeing Han Feng's serious expression, Elder Huo sensed that the situation was getting slightly out of control, and this was something he couldn't handle alone.

"If the Medicine Emperor is willing to condescend, Canaan Academy would certainly welcome him. However, this matter is of great importance, and I still need to discuss it with the Grand Elder."

"Of course, after all, the impression I left on Elder Su Qian may not have been very good."

Han Feng spoke frankly, a gesture that surprised Elder Huo.

"It might be a misunderstanding, but the Grand Elder does indeed have some prejudice against the Medicine Emperor."

Elder Huo said these words to give a heads-up.

In his view, since Su Qian told him to be careful of Han Feng, it was clearly a hostile speculation.

Therefore, Han Feng will most likely not be able to get past the Grand Elder.

"It's alright, I'll talk to him myself later."

Han Feng smiled slightly.

"Ok?"

Elder Huo was clearly taken aback, and then his soul power spread out slightly.

"Great Elder!"

"Old man Huo, it seems your soul perception is far inferior to that of the Medicine King."

Su Qian descended from the sky with a displeased expression. He had overheard Han Feng and Elder Huo's conversation.

I never expected Elder Huo to be so easily fooled by Han Feng.

Could it be that his status as a seventh-grade alchemist also inspired his respect?

"Elder Su, since you're here, why didn't you come through the main gate? Do you think I don't welcome you?"

Han Feng looked at Su Qian, his soul power trembling slightly.

As Su Qian descended with steps that seemed to float in the air, as if performing a miracle, he suddenly felt immense pressure. His expression changed, and he jumped down from mid-air.

boom!

The heavy thud created a shockwave, raising dust from the roadside.

Covered in dust, Su Qian's posture was somewhat unsightly.

"Elder Huo, when you came in through the main gate, did you see the sign that prohibits flying during the competition?"

Elder Huo nodded slightly, somewhat awkwardly.

If he said he didn't see it, then he would be doing a disservice to his fifth-grade alchemist's soul power.

"I did see it."

Han Feng spread his hands and said to Su Qian, who emerged from the dust, "Look, Elder Su, you only know what rules to follow after entering through the city gate."

Su Qian coughed twice and looked at Han Feng with a slightly puzzled expression.

How did he do that?

He was clearly just a Dou Huang, yet he made this Dou Zong suffer a setback.

While he was in mid-air, that mysterious force had made him lose control of his body, and he couldn't even land gracefully, making a fool of himself for no reason.

"I encountered some trouble on the way and was delayed for a moment, so I came late. I thought I would go directly to visit the Medicine King."

Su Qian casually made up an excuse.

Han Feng said seriously, "Elder Su, if you come to Maple City again in the future, it would be better to use the main gate. Today, I am here, otherwise the Maple Forest Guards will treat you as an enemy, which would not be good."

Su Qian's brow twitched slightly.

If you hadn't interfered with my concealment just now, I wouldn't have been discovered.

Elder Huo, who is also a Dou Huang, didn't notice it either, did he?

Of course, since he had done something against the rules, Su Qian realized that he was in the wrong and said something rather irritatingly.

"Sorry, I'll definitely do it next time."

Han Feng smiled and shook his head.

"Elder Su, I've heard you have some misunderstandings about me. Why don't we have a good talk today?"

Chapter 51 Alchemy Competition

Su Qian quickly regained her composure as a Dou Zong, straightened her clothes, and walked with Han Feng.

Based on what I've seen and heard along the way, I must say that Fengcheng's governance is quite good.

Especially in the last few months, I heard that the city has updated its regulations and purged some lawbreakers. When the Maple Forest Guards take action, they are much more ruthless than ordinary cultivators.

Thinking about how Han Feng had just lectured her, Su Qian wasn't in a good mood.
