Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"Let's go, Miss Gu, we need to go back."

Han Feng took the little girl's hand, and the two walked step by step toward Wutan City.

Ling Ying watched everything from the shadows and sighed softly.

Since they settled in the Xiao family, they had never seen the young lady as happy as she was today, even though it was just a very ordinary wish for a three or four-year-old girl.

Perhaps the clan leader was wrong. Although the young lady is not an ordinary person, she is still a child and hopes to have family by her side.

Will the clan chief regret missing out on the young lady's childhood?

Ling Ying dared not speculate too much on the clan leader's thoughts and continued to follow, silently protecting Gu Xun'er.

Back at the Xiao residence, the maid pulled Han Feng into the house, and the two ate dinner together before she let Han Feng go home.

Left with no other choice, Han Feng first had a meal with the girl, and then was invited by Xiao Zhan to a second banquet.

At night, Han Feng began to do some things on his own.

He promised to make a gift for Gu Xun'er, but he didn't have a clue what it was before. However, after spending an afternoon with her, he seemed to understand what the little girl wanted.

Han Feng used his soul power to engrave the interesting stories and memories of his previous life onto the scroll made of green spirit wood.

This is a special spiritual material that can withstand the shaping of soul power. Some precious pill formulas and fighting techniques are recorded using this spiritual material combined with soul power.

It not only adds detailed insights but also gives viewers an immersive experience.

The downside is that there is a limit to the number of times it can be used; once that limit is exceeded, the enhancement of soul power will dissipate.

Therefore, Han Feng added a setting to the Azure Spirit Wood so that new interesting stories would be unlocked every once in a while, effectively extending its lifespan.

Otherwise, he was worried that Gu Xun'er, this little homebody, would have watched it all over for several days and nights in a row.

Meanwhile, Gu Xun'er was also making a gift on the other side. She was holding a piece of fine red sandalwood and carefully carving it.

It is vaguely visible that the shape is that of a pendant.

"maple....."

Gu Xun'er looked completely focused, murmuring softly to herself.

Although the little princess's skills are not yet perfect, she has put in just as much effort as Han Feng.

And so, Gu Xun'er continued doing handicrafts until late at night, finally falling into a deep sleep when she was too tired to continue.

After completing his memoir, Han Feng felt a pang of emotion. His experiences in his previous life were truly bizarre.

For the rest of the time, Han Feng sat in meditation and entered a state of cultivation. He was at the Seven-Star Dou Huang realm, which was neither the best nor the worst.

With this body's aptitude, it would take about three to four years of normal cultivation to reach the Nine-Star Douhuang Realm.

The Huangji Pill, being a mainstream breakthrough-type pill on the continent, has already been consumed by this body, so it cannot be consumed again.

The chances of getting promoted quickly in a short period of time are slim.

In the cultivation world, there are actually not many shortcuts or tricks; most cultivators need to accumulate their cultivation step by step.

Even Han Feng in his previous life only had a smooth journey with few bottlenecks and a faster breakthrough time than others.

To say that the star rating suddenly increased by so many stars is unprecedented.

No one's journey is without hardship; everyone has their own difficulties.

Of course, although Han Feng's cultivation level is not as high as in his previous life, the confidence and composure hidden in his bones cannot be erased. Temporary speed cannot determine the final achievement. He believes that he can stand at the top of the world again.

The night was long. After cultivating his battle qi for two hours, Han Feng began to circulate the "Taiyi Soul Technique" to cultivate his soul power.

In the Dou Qi Continent, ordinary cultivators have no access to soul cultivation techniques and do not value soul power.

However, for alchemists, the cultivation of soul power is indispensable.

Once an alchemist advances to the seventh rank, if they want to move up to the eighth rank, they must raise their soul power level to the Spirit Realm.

The division of soul realms in the Dou Qi Continent.

It is mainly divided into four realms.

Mortal, Spirit, Heaven, Emperor.

Ninety-nine percent of cultivators will remain at the mortal level in terms of soul power throughout their entire lives.

Eighth-grade alchemists are all at the Spirit Realm, capable of refining pills that possess innate spirituality.

If one can cross the Spirit Realm and reach the Heaven Realm, it means that one has the qualifications to become a ninth-grade alchemist.

As for the Emperor Realm, that's not something an ordinary person can handle.

The Soul Palace has killed countless people and collected countless souls over the past thousand years!

However, this only provided enough soul energy for Void Devouring Flame to advance to the Emperor Realm.

Without abundant resources and a strong background, one can never hope to advance to the Emperor Realm through personal cultivation alone.

Han Feng's current soul power level can barely be considered as the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm.

Combined with soul skills, it can fight against powerful sects.

If one breaks through to the Spirit Realm, then even a Dou Zun expert can fight against them.

This is his confidence.

Therefore, Han Feng himself was not worried about the progress of his cultivation; he could proceed step by step.

The night passed, and Han Feng was still refreshed and in high spirits.

The benefits of cultivating the Soul Technique were now on full display.

It greatly reduced sleep time and improved the efficiency of practice.

The servants brought breakfast on time. It was different from yesterday's, and it tasted quite good.

Xiao Zhan did not publicize Han Feng's information, and he did a good job of keeping it a secret. His servants only regarded him as a former friend of Xiao Zhan and treated him with great respect.

When they met this morning, Han Feng saw that Xiao Zhan was all smiles.

"Clan Chief Xiao, what's the matter today? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Xiao Zhan walked towards us with a cheerful smile, making no attempt to hide.

"Our in-laws invited us to visit the capital."

He had just received the letter and was holding it in his hand, then showing it to Han Feng.

"Nalan?"

When Han Feng saw the family crest on the envelope, a trivial memory flashed through his mind.

"Whose wedding is it?"

"Yan'er's, an arranged marriage since childhood."

Xiao Zhan shared some good news.

He originally thought that the Xiao family had fallen on hard times, and this marriage might also come to nothing.

But to my surprise, the Nalan family took the initiative to invite us, which means that they do not look down on the Xiao family now!

Han Feng looked surprised.

This is another new thing; I still haven't heard Xiao Yan mention it in my previous life.

It seems this kid has a lot going on.

Han Feng smiled and congratulated him, but didn't delve into the matter further.

Chapter 9: A very educational lesson

After bidding farewell to Xiao Zhan, Han Feng headed to Gu Xun'er's residence.

The little girl seemed to have just gotten up; the strands of hair on her forehead were a bit messy.

As soon as the door opened, the little girl's adorable eyes widened immediately.

"Mr. Han, you've arrived so early!"

She hurriedly returned to the room and tidied up the "treasures" on the table. She didn't want Han Feng to see everything before the gift was even finished.

The sharp-eyed Han Feng pretended not to see anything and wore a doting smile.

After tidying up her things haphazardly, Gu Xun'er turned around and smiled at Han Feng with an elegant yet slightly embarrassed expression.

"Hurry up and wash up, then have breakfast."

Han Feng opened the window, letting the sunlight from the garden seep into the house.

"After breakfast, I'll take you somewhere."

Gu Xun'er picked up a towel to wipe her face; her fair and rosy complexion was like that of a porcelain doll.

"What place?"

Han Feng smiled and said, "Let's eat first."

------

After Gu Xun'er finished breakfast, Han Feng took her hand again and walked towards the city gate.

Just when Gu Xun'er thought they were going to visit the attractions outside the city, Han Feng led her to sit down in a small shop at the city gate.

"what?"

Gu Xun'er glanced at the unremarkable shops around her and looked at Han Feng with curiosity.

"What are you doing?"

Han Feng pointed to the people coming and going at the city gate early in the morning.

"Guess what these people do?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er looked towards the city gate, carefully observing the people coming and going. After staring for a while, she said, "Some are mercenaries, some are merchants, and some are farmers."

"In this Dou Qi Continent, the most common people are these kinds of people. They have no cultivation or low cultivation, and there are very few things they can do, but they work hard every day and make their lives fulfilling."

Han Feng then asked, "Do you know why your father sent you to the Xiao family?"

Gu Xun'er blinked, her first thought being: Father sent me to the Xiao family with the mission of obtaining the Xiao family's ancient jade!

But she couldn't tell Han Feng this, so Gu Xun'er thought for a moment and shook her head.

Han Feng just smiled at this, and then began to talk about his experience: "I was born into an ordinary family, and I might have become one of these people, but unfortunately, before I learned to speak, my family was wiped out."

Gu Xun'er was no ordinary child; she listened attentively to Han Feng's story.

"Later, I was rescued by a cultivator who discovered my extraordinary talent for cultivation and led me into the world of cultivation."

"He is my teacher and my adoptive father. He is Yao Chen."

"I was way more mischievous than you when I was a kid."

Han Feng looked at Gu Xun'er and said.

“My teacher always indulged me; he gave me whatever I wanted.”

Do you know what the consequences of this will be?

Gu Xun'er shook her head.

"I was spoiled, became arrogant and unruly, and almost made a big mistake."

Gu Xun'er's eyes showed surprise; she couldn't believe that Han Feng had such a past.

How could someone who is clearly so gentle be so arrogant and unrestrained?

She couldn't imagine it.

"Later, my teacher took me on a journey through the world. We spent ten years traveling all over the continent and experiencing all walks of life. At that time, I didn't really understand these things, but my temperament did become more restrained."

"My teacher spent ten precious years of his life teaching me a lesson."

Han Feng looked at Gu Xun'er and said in a very serious tone, "If you want to cultivate, you must first cultivate your nature."

Gu Xun'er's eyes were somewhat hazy.

Han Feng patted her little head and smiled:

"Your father probably hoped the same thing. Only those who have experienced the trials of life will not forget their original aspirations when they grow up."
