Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

He had a vague premonition that Han Feng in front of him was not so easy to deal with.

The three of them arrived at the reception hall of the city lord's mansion.

Han Feng waved his hand, signaling a servant to bring over the tea set.

"Since we have distinguished guests today, I'll show them what I can do."

He took out the fifth-grade Qingling tea leaves, put them into the tea set, and began to brew the tea himself.

Similar to medicine making, brewing tea also has its intricacies. To perfectly bring out the aroma and effects of tea, the water temperature and brewing time are crucial.

Elder Huo stared in awe at the techniques Han Feng had inadvertently revealed, his eyes glued to the screen as he began to learn.

Su Qian smelled the aroma of tea wafting in the air and felt refreshed, as if her unpleasant mood had calmed down.

"This tea from the Medicine King is extraordinary."

Su Qian commented.

"Five-grade Qingling tea leaves can be used in medicine and alchemy; they are by no means cheap."

Elder Huo subconsciously retorted. Although Su Qian was of a higher rank than him, the two were friends, and it wouldn't be out of line for him to give this ignorant old man some pointers.

Su Qian raised an eyebrow; Old Man Huo had been acting rather erratically lately.

"Gentlemen, please try my Qingling Tea and see if you like it."

Han Feng smiled faintly and poured three cups of tea, then used his fighting spirit to serve them to the two of them.

"It smells so good!"

Elder Huo took a sniff and let out a sound of delighted praise, which made Su Qianzhi frown.

exaggerate!

Su Qian picked up her teacup and sipped her lips.

Hmm...it's really good.

After taking a few more sips, Su Qian put down her teacup and looked at Han Feng.

"Medicine King, let's just say it straight."

Su Qian got straight to the point.

“I know very well who you are. I’ve also heard rumors about the things you’ve been doing behind the scenes. When you said you wanted to join Canaan Academy, the first thing that came to my mind was that you were like a weasel offering New Year’s greetings to a chicken, with ill intentions.”

Han Feng nodded slightly.

"Elder Su, putting aside what I did before, do you think I would go to Canaan Academy alone with malicious intent?"

Su Qian frowned.

"What do you want to say?"

Han Feng laughed and said, "Dean Mang's cultivation is high, while I am just a small Dou Huang. If I want to cause trouble in the academy, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"

Su Qian and Elder Huo exchanged a glance and remained silent.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Qian finally spoke: "It's not about the level of cultivation. In fact, as long as someone has good character, even if they only have the cultivation of a Dou Shi, Canaan Academy will still welcome them. But I don't trust you, Medicine Emperor."

Han Feng silently drank his tea without responding.

The atmosphere between the two sides immediately turned cold. Elder Huo was caught in the middle, trying to ease the tension, but he didn't know what to say.

Su Qian was speaking in riddles, and Elder Huo was unaware of the details. In addition, since Han Feng was a seventh-grade alchemist, he was naturally happy for him to join Canaan Academy.

However, due to his position, Elder Huo was unable to help.

If Han Feng really has malicious intentions, he can't afford to take that responsibility.

Su Qian also had some hesitation in her heart.

Firstly, they are currently in Maple City, so they shouldn't say anything too outrageous. Secondly, the title of a seventh-grade alchemist is indeed impressive.

If Han Feng is allowed to develop his career outside, and Canaan Academy is their target, sooner or later they will clash with Han Feng.

At that time, it wouldn't be surprising if several Dou Zong appeared by Han Feng's side.

"Medicine King, you are now a seventh-grade alchemist. You are an honored guest wherever you go. Why do you want to join my Canaan Academy? If you can give me a suitable reason, I might consider it."

After much deliberation, Su Qian finally said something conciliatory.

Instead of letting Han Feng develop his career outside, it's better to first find out what the other party needs.

If he truly posed a significant threat to Canaan Academy, Su Qian understood the meaning of the phrase "luring someone into a trap."

This time, Han Feng used a calculated strategy to lure them here, and Su Qian had no choice but to suffer the consequences.

Once we get to Canaan Academy, well, then the roles will be reversed.

Although Dean Mang Tianchi was not present, Canaan Academy still had two powerful guardians, so Su Qian was not afraid of Han Feng's threat of force at all.

Han Feng was somewhat surprised to hear Su Qian's words.

He had already planned to use other methods, but the other party spoke first.

"The reason is simple: I want my apprentice to live a healthy and happy life at Canaan Academy, rather than growing up in the chaotic Black Corner, where she won't make any friends."

Han Feng spoke in a sincere tone.

He has a clear conscience, because that's certainly one of the reasons... right?

"Oh? The Medicine King has taken on disciples?"

This was the first time Su Qian had heard this news.

Generally speaking, someone as important as Han Feng should have a lot of public knowledge about taking on disciples.

"Yes, a very cute little girl."

When Han Feng spoke of Lin Xian'er, a smile naturally appeared on his face.

Su Qian narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Han Feng.

"The Medicine King is not what he used to be."

"Why do you say that?"

Han Feng looked at Su Qian with a calm expression.

Su Qian pondered for a long time before shaking her head.

"Maybe it's my illusion."

Regardless, as the current administrator of the academy, he is now responsible for the safety of the students.

I'll agree to his request for now, and then we can have a proper discussion when we get back to Canaan College.

Su Qian's idea inadvertently fulfilled Han Feng's wish.

The meeting between the two sides was a complete success.

Han Feng got his wish and was granted permission to enter Canaan Academy. Su Qian also reassured Han Feng, ensuring the safety of the teachers and students of Canaan Academy during the competition.

After seeing the two off, Han Feng smiled faintly.

Elder Su was being too naive. A seventh-grade alchemist is no small fry who can be easily dismissed.

Once he enters the inner courtyard, whether he stays or leaves will no longer be up to you, Su Qian.

------

Back at the inn, Elder Huo wanted to play a game of chess with Su Qian, but was turned away.

Su Qian sat in the chair, carefully considering the matter, and felt that she had been too hasty just now.

She was actually intimidated by Han Feng's silent aura and spoke first!

That shouldn't have happened, it really shouldn't have happened.

Su Qian originally wouldn't have been too wary of Han Feng, after all, he was just a Dou Huang. But who would have thought that the other party would give him a hard time as soon as they met, which slightly affected his mentality.

And then there's Old Man Huo, who slacked off throughout the negotiations and even dragged things down.

"Seventh-grade alchemist".

Su Qian murmured softly.

"That's all, let's take it one step at a time."

------

The next day.

The Black Corner Region Alchemy Competition has officially begun.

Han Feng led several girls to watch.

Medusa is now very interested in elixirs, so she has chosen to take a few days off to see how others make them.

After settling the women into a private room with an excellent view, Han Feng himself needed to go to the highest stone platform to oversee the situation.

Many powerful forces came to observe this alchemy competition, including established powers like the Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley, demonstrating the importance they placed on the event.

Su Qian and Elder Huo, as representatives of Canaan Academy, also sat on the high platform, with Su Qian standing only one body length away from Han Feng.

"Your Majesty, it's been several months since I last saw you, and you're even more radiant than before."

Mo Tianxing strolled over, his voice cheerful, as if trying to show that he had a very good relationship with Han Feng.

Han Feng nodded and smiled slightly at him.

"Sect Leader Mo, how have you been?"

Su Qian turned her head and looked at Mo Tianxing.

The two Dou Zong met eyes, and the air seemed to grow much heavier.

"This must be Elder Su Qian of Canaan Academy. I've heard so much about you."

"I have long heard of Sect Master Mo's reputation."

The two exchanged compliments, then quickly fell silent, turning away to sit in their respective seats.

They are all big shots from top-tier forces, but none of them are willing to submit to the other.

In a sense, the Black Emperor Sect is also under the control of Canaan Academy. Maintaining the balance of power in the Black Corner Region and preventing any one side from becoming too powerful is also one of the responsibilities of Canaan Academy.

This task was carried out by the enforcement team of Canaan Academy, which, like the Maple Forest Guard of Maple City, consisted of elites among elites.

Han Feng maintained a faint smile as he gazed ahead. More and more leaders of various factions arrived, bowing and exchanging pleasantries with Han Feng.

Su Qian now finally understands the true value of being a seventh-grade alchemist.

No one had a long face; even Fang Yan, the Grand Elder of Demon Flame Valley, smiled at Han Feng.

He suddenly felt a little glad that he had agreed to Han Feng's request yesterday.

Otherwise, if you anger him, who knows how many troubles will arise in the future.

After most of the spectators had entered the venue, it was packed with people.

The organizers began to stir up the crowd's enthusiasm, announcing the prizes for the competition, which ignited everyone's passion.

Although they didn't participate in the competition, it didn't stop them from expressing their excitement.

The participants entered the venue one by one; most of them were exclusive alchemists trained by various factions.

Forces like Demon Flame Valley and Black Emperor Sect sent out many young alchemists, five of whom reached the third rank.

To reach this level before the age of thirty can be considered a sign of considerable talent.

People from Maple City also participated, including six third-grade alchemists under the age of thirty.

Elder Liu made relatively safe arrangements, after all, he was the host, and it would be embarrassing if he performed poorly.

The main event is also Canaan Academy.

The alchemy department sent dozens of alchemists this time. Although not many of them reached the third rank, their aura and vitality surpassed those of the others present.

After the host finished speaking, they formally introduced Han Feng, a seventh-grade alchemist.

"Let us welcome the organizer of this alchemy competition, who is also the only seventh-grade alchemy master in the Black Corner Region, the Medicine Emperor—Han Feng!"

Han Feng slowly stood up, looked at the crowd below, and said, "Alchemist is a sacred profession. It requires talent bestowed by heaven, as well as diligent study and practice. The fact that you have made it this far already shows your talent. Let me see who can stand to the end in this competition!"

"I hereby declare the inaugural Black Corner Region Youth Alchemist Competition officially open!"
