Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Page 76

The Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool opens once every three years, lasting five days each time, with a limit of ten participants. These rules are similar to those for the Origin Heart Flame Body Tempering of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, except that the accumulation of energy takes time, making it inconvenient to open it frequently.

The Gold-Eating Rat clan, which guards the Tianmu Mountains, can rely on their master's advantages to enter the Tianshan Blood Pool for cultivation year-round.

Han Feng was very clear about this.

Therefore, all he needed to do was go there; whether the other party agreed or not was not within Han Feng's consideration.

It would be best if you agreed, but if you disagree... Han Feng, who has been holding back until he reached the third level of Dou Huang, might get a little angry.

After resting for two days, Han Feng left Tianbei City and headed to the Tianmu Mountains.

Monsters gathered near the Tianmu Mountains. In the short time after flying into the mountains, Han Feng saw many sixth-order monsters and one seventh-order monster.

"Humans, the Tianmu Mountains have been closed. Leave immediately!"

A long, drawn-out sound came from the mountains, like a warning.

"I have come here to borrow the Blood Pool of Tianshan."

Han Feng responded, releasing a wisp of soul power.

hum!

Perhaps the power of their souls worked, because the other party did not respond again, but came in person.

A figure with a human body and a rat's head flew out of the deep mountains, its feet landing steadily in mid-air.

He looked at the human before him with apprehension and probed again, "You've come too late. The tides of heaven and earth passed two months ago, and the Blood Pool of Tianshan is no longer of any use for breakthroughs."

"I know that the bottom of the Tianshan Blood Pool is rich in energy, so there's no need to make such an excuse."

The face of the Dou Zong expert from the Gold-Eating Rat clan suddenly darkened. The secret that their Gold-Eating Rat clan had discovered had actually been exposed!

A murderous glint flashed in Jin Gu's eyes. "How did you know?"

Han Feng said calmly, "The Blood Pool is right there. Is it only allowed for your Gold-Eating Rat clan to discover it?"

Jin Gu remained silent for a long time, but ultimately hesitated to act out of fear of Han Feng's soul power. "Come with me."

On the way to the mountaintop, Jin Gu suddenly asked:

How many people know about this?

Han Feng responded, "I didn't tell anyone, but I don't know if others have found out."

Jin Gu frowned, feeling increasingly depressed.

"You're just a Dou Huang, so why is your soul power so formidable?"

Han Feng smiled gently.

"Such talent."

Jingu:......

"You're an alchemist, aren't you?"

Jin Gu stopped beating around the bush with Han Feng.

"Ah."

Jin Gu sighed inwardly, thinking how troublesome it was; alchemists were the most difficult to please.

Never mind, let the clan leader worry about it later.

Chapter 81 Gold-Eating Rat

On the path leading to the mountaintop, there is an extremely long stone staircase, from which swarms of gold-devouring rats emerge like a torrent.

"This is our clan's Rat Tide Sonic Wave Array. If you want to go up the mountain normally, you must pass through this array in order to be qualified to enter the Blood Pool."

"Do I also need to break through the formation?"

Jin Gu didn't speak, but stared at Han Feng with his beady eyes, his meaning self-evident.

"That's fine."

Han Feng took a step forward, his figure suddenly rising, and countless Gold-Eating Rats surged out, rushing towards Han Feng.

At the same time, the two malevolent golden rats emitted special sound waves, interfering with Han Feng.

"open!"

Despite the onslaught of noisy sound waves, Han Feng remained calm. With a single finger, his powerful energy shattered the surrounding world.

Tianyuan Finger, one finger opens up heaven and earth!

boom!

All the Gold-Eating Rats that pounced were sent flying backwards, and blood spilled from the corners of their mouths as they unleashed the sonic array, clearly suffering a huge backlash.

Han Feng stood in the center of the stone steps and glanced at the Gold-Eating Rats around him.

Seeing that they dared not approach any further, Han Feng slowly stepped up the stairs.

Upon seeing this scene, Jin Gu's lips twitched slightly.

Is this really the power that a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) can unleash?

What a joke!

Looking at his injured disciples and followers, Jin Gu felt as if his heart was bleeding.

The two looked at each other in silence and continued on their way until they reached the top of the mountain.

"Please wait here for a moment while I go and inform the clan chief."

Jin Gu said something to Han Feng, and then hurriedly left.

Upon arriving at the clan chief's residence, Jin Gu immediately informed him of Han Feng's situation.

Jin Shi, the patriarch of the Gold-Eating Rat clan, initially appeared calm and collected, but upon hearing that Han Feng had also discovered the secret at the bottom of the Blood Pool, he immediately stood up.

"How could he know? We're still mining that place, how could he know!"

"Brother, don't worry."

"I am in a hurry!"

Jin Shi was about to go out and deal with Han Feng when Jin Gu quickly stopped him.

"Ahem, I forgot to mention something earlier. That human should be a high-ranking alchemist."

Jin Shi stopped abruptly, turned around and glared at his younger brother.

Why didn't you say so sooner...?

Jin Shi silently returned to his seat and sat down.

"If even you can feel the pressure, then the other party must be at least a seventh-grade alchemist, otherwise their soul power wouldn't be that strong."

"That's what I thought."

Jin Gu nodded.

"It's really troublesome..."

After pondering for a long time, Jin Shi finally sighed.

"Let's talk to him first, no matter what. If he can offer some compensation, I think we might be able to agree. What do you think?"

"Absolutely, absolutely..."

Jin Gu nodded in agreement.

Before long, Han Feng was led to the reception hall of the Gold-Eating Rat clan.

"I am Jin Shi, the patriarch of the Gold-Eating Rat clan. May I ask your name?"

"Han Feng".

“Mr. Han, let me be direct. It’s not impossible for you to break through using the bottom of the Blood Pool, but what kind of reward are you willing to offer?” Jin Shi asked.

"As for compensation, I think it's quite simple."

Han Feng seemed to have been prepared for this.

"Oh?"

Jin Shi was somewhat surprised. Could it be that the other party had prepared something good, given their confidence?

However, Han Feng did not take out any treasures, but simply said:

"Does Chief Jinshi really think that the energy at the bottom of this blood pool is so easy to absorb?"

Jin Shi frowned slightly, not understanding Han Feng's meaning.

"It seems that Chief Jinshi is still in the planning stage regarding the bottom of the Blood Pool and has not personally gone down to cultivate, has he?"

Seeing this, Han Feng smiled and asked.

"What do you mean by that?"

"At the bottom of the Tianshan Blood Pool, although extremely pure energy has been accumulated, it also contains fire poison that can penetrate to the bone marrow. Without special methods, one may improve their cultivation level, but their life will not be easy."

Jin Shi clenched his fists as he thought of the clansmen who had died while digging into the bottom of the Blood Pool.

He thought it was a dangerous energy surge at the bottom of the blood pool, but he didn't expect that there was also the element of fire poison!

"How did you know?"

Han Feng calmly replied, "Instead of trying to figure out how I know this, Clan Chief Jin Shi should go down and experience it for himself. Once the fire poison has entered his body, we can discuss this matter. It might go much more smoothly that way."

Upon hearing Han Feng's words, Jin Shi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Mr. Han, could you please prove your alchemist qualifications?"

Han Feng smiled.

"I have two suggestions for Chief Jinshi. First, I will treat the Gold-Eating Rat clan's fire poison three times for free, and then charge normally. Unless there are special reasons, I will not turn you away. Second, I will provide you with three opportunities to refine pills. You can choose the seventh grade, and bring your own prescriptions and ingredients. After that, we will have no further dealings. What do you think?"

Faced with the two proposals put forward by Han Feng, Jin Shi, who had initially been somewhat skeptical of Han Feng, began to ponder deeply.

At this stage, given the uncertainty about whether the fire poison truly exists at the bottom of the blood pool, the second option is clearly more advantageous.

After all, even in Zhongzhou, hiring a seventh-grade alchemist is extremely expensive, and refining three seventh-grade pills is definitely a win for the Gold-Eating Rat Clan.

However, it is clear that by choosing the second option, after refining the pills three times, Han Feng will no longer have any dealings with them, and their friendship will be severed.

The first option, however, would allow for a long-term connection with Han Feng.

If he were truly a seventh-grade alchemist, Jin Shi would definitely choose the first option without hesitation.

Hesitating, Jin Shi looked at Han Feng and saw that he had a calm expression and composed demeanor, which made him even more conflicted.

"Although I am a seventh-grade alchemist, I only broke through in the last year and have not gone to the Pill Tower to verify it, so I cannot produce any proof."

Han Feng then spoke up: "So whether you believe it or not is entirely up to Clan Chief Jin Shi."

A slight silence fell over the room. After a moment, Jin Shi took a deep breath.

"You really can refine seventh-grade pills?"

Jin Shi's narrow eyes stared at Han Feng.

"It can be refined."

Han Feng met his gaze openly and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll trust Mr. Han this once and choose the first option."

Although Jin Shi is still unsure of Han Feng's true strength and weaknesses, he is willing to make his acquaintance with him.

"When does Mr. Han plan to go down?"

"The sooner the better."

Jin Shi nodded and instructed his servants to make preparations.

“We are still mining at the bottom of the Blood Pool, and there may be a risk of energy surges. I need to remind Mr. Han of this.”
