Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

On the contrary, countless powerful enemies await Han Feng on his path.

Once you've boarded his warship, the storms you'll face in the future will be no small matter.

Therefore, Han Feng doesn't accept disciples casually; this is also out of responsibility towards the other party.

"I feel that older sister is more capable than me."

Lin Xian'er said innocently.

"My Xian'er is no less capable than anyone else."

Han Feng corrected him.

Lin Xian'er smiled happily.

"Let's go."

After the brief apprenticeship incident, Han Feng left the inner courtyard with the girls.

Upon arriving in Fengcheng, Han Feng returned to the bamboo grove pavilion after a long absence.

He had ordered his servants to renovate it quite well, but he returned to live there not long afterward.

The underground treasure chamber has also been abandoned, and no treasures have been put in it to this day.

Fortunately, the room remained as tidy as ever, with servants coming to clean it every day.

Upon seeing Han Feng return, Fenglin Guards immediately came to report on their duties.

Han Lie reported to Han Feng on his work over the past six months, including the individuals he had previously asked to keep a close watch on. He covered everything in detail, focusing on the important points and submitting the rest to Han Feng in writing.

Han Feng quickly scanned the screen with his soul power, but he wasn't really that concerned.

However, one thing did catch his eye for a few seconds.

The two elders, Jin and Yin, both advanced to the Dou Zong level.

"Those two old guys are really lucky; they both managed to break through."

The Dou Zong Pill can only increase the chances of advancing to the Dou Zong level; it cannot guarantee a breakthrough.

The fact that both the Gold and Silver Elders were able to advance shows that they do have some strength.

With their combined secret technique, even if they only had one-star cultivation, they could fight against three-star or even four-star Dou Zong after combining.

After all, during their time as Dou Huang, they were able to combine their powers and spar with a beginner Dou Zong.

Unfortunately, the conditions for practicing this secret technique are too demanding. Medusa and Cai'er tried it before, but the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, so the fusion failed.

"The two elders, Jin and Yin, do not currently belong to any faction. If we invite them to join Maple City, Maple City's strength will be further enhanced. Even if I am away for a long time, Maple City will not be afraid of the Black Emperor Sect and the Demon Flame Valley in terms of martial prowess."

With these thoughts in mind, Han Feng immediately instructed his subordinates to send out a letter inviting the two elders, Jin and Yin, to Fengcheng for a meeting.

"These two old guys aren't the kind of people who are easily subdued; a fight is inevitable."

After taking a sip of spiritual tea, Han Feng continued to review the intelligence.

Three members of the Maple Forest Guard broke through to the Dou Wang realm, and twenty members broke through to the Dou Ling realm, greatly enhancing the team's strength and gradually deepening its control over Maple City.

In the past year, Maple City's income from elixirs has exceeded 100 million gold coins.

The cooperative relationship between the Rakshasa Sect and Maple City deepened, and the sect leader, Su Mei, frequently visited Maple City to request an audience with Han Feng.

Han Feng remembered that he seemed to have promised Su Mei a request before, but unfortunately he was not in Fengcheng, so she kept making empty trips.

She has been wronged.

Han Feng immediately summoned one of the Maple Forest Guards and asked him to invite the Rakshasa Sect Master to Maple City as a guest.

It's not good to owe favors.

Han Feng decided to take advantage of his free time to pay it off as soon as possible.

As Han Feng continued reading, he discovered that he had collected all the Heavenly Origin Flowers they had been asked to gather, enough for him to cultivate the subsequent stages of the "Heavenly Origin Finger Technique".

Before long, the Maple Forest Guards delivered the Heavenly Origin Flower stored in the treasure vault.

Because it is cared for by dedicated personnel, the energy of the Tianyuan Flower is well preserved and hardly any is lost.

After quickly reviewing the intelligence, and seeing that there was nothing else important, Han Feng returned to his room to begin cultivating.

He has cultivated to perfection, covering all living beings with three fingers.

Now, you can easily create hundreds of marks and lock onto your target.

Han Feng took out a Heavenly Origin Flower and began to refine his fingers.

The next move is an extremely aggressive attack.

Four fingers pierce the sky.

After consuming more than twenty Heavenly Origin Flowers, Han Feng finally completed the tempering of his fourth finger.

He opened his palm, and a destructive aura began to brew.

The surrounding energy continuously converged into his palm. If Han Feng were to unleash this move, an ordinary five-star Dou Zong would be instantly killed.

Even a six-star character cannot escape death.

A peak Earth-rank combat skill, infinitely close to the Heaven-rank. Once the five fingers are mastered and unified, the true splendor of the "Heavenly Origin Finger" will be revealed.

Han Feng carefully collected the remaining Tianyuan flowers, intending to take them back to Medicine Saint Valley to cultivate.

The energy of heaven and earth is more concentrated there, which might even enhance the medicinal properties of the Tianyuan Flower.

"Unfortunately, no one will let me test my skills."

Han Feng felt a little lonely.

Although he has several Dou Zun-level puppets, without using secret techniques, soul skills, or the Crimson Emperor Armor, Han Feng is not so exaggerated as to be able to fight against a Dou Zun using only Dou Qi.

Moreover, fighting with puppets never feels as satisfying as fighting with real people.

If it gets broken, you have to fix it yourself.

With a sigh, Han Feng took out twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and began his daily refining process.

He refines one pill every day with ease and without pressure, and he's almost finished refining them all now.

Ordinary people simply do not possess such powerful soul strength to directly control the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

Therefore, Duan Hong chose to let the puppet share the pressure. It had to be a human puppet because only a human puppet could preserve a relatively complete soul power.

If it were an ordinary puppet, Duan Hong would have to expend his soul power to control it, which would be even more difficult.

However, Han Feng was not worried at all about his soul strength being insufficient. In fact, after refining the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, his soul power actually increased.

The Soul Devouring Technique played a significant role in this, and we must also thank Pavilion Master Duan Hong for his assistance.

Han Feng also casually refined the eighth-grade mid-level spiritual weapon, the Heaven-Suppressing Hammer. This weapon can increase attack power and can play a role in certain situations.

The "Heaven Refining Hand" and "Soul Forging Technique" have been studied to a great extent. The "Soul Forging Technique" can barely be considered a high-level "Soul Technique", which mainly enhances the resilience of the soul.

This "Heavenly Refining Hand" is quite ingenious; it can actually refine some things that the human body cannot normally digest.

For example, an iron block.

Han Feng used the beginner-level "Heaven Refining Hand" to smelt a piece of grade three iron ore into iron essence, which was much faster than roasting it with fire.

Moreover, Han Feng can manipulate the iron ore refined through the "Heavenly Refining Hand" to change its shape, making it more suitable for some delicate manufacturing work.

If you were to shape it directly using soul power, the difficulty would be much greater.

Of course, this was not difficult for Han Feng; he was simply able to discern the difference between the two.

Once the "Heavenly Refining Hand" is mastered, it can generate a battle qi with extremely strong control. If it is injected into the fine details of the human body's meridians, it may indeed cause the "crippled cultivation".

This is mainly for cultivators at the Dou Wang level or above.

As for those below the Dou Wang level, they don't need the "Refining Heaven Hand" technique, because they haven't yet integrated their Dou Qi into their limbs and bones, and connected with their inner world.

Once the battle qi crystal is destroyed, the cultivation level will naturally be ruined.

"What a vicious trick."

Han Feng flicked his hand, dissipating the crimson "Refining Heaven Hand" battle aura.

In Duan Hong's memory, he vaguely saw many people suffer this cruel fate, yet dared not speak out against it.

The cultivation world is a cruel place, where the strong prey on the weak, and it has always been so.

A few days later, Su Mei from the Rakshasa Sect came to visit.

More than a year has passed, and the opponent is still at the level of a nine-star Dou Wang, unable to break through to Dou Huang.

His breathing has become a little stronger, but there hasn't been much progress.

When she saw Han Feng, there was an indescribable resentment deep in her eyes.

A year ago, Han Feng said that those who came to Fengcheng to have him refine pills would be given priority, but in the past year, he has made all his trips in vain.

"Sect Leader Su, it's been a long time. You look even better than before."

Su Mei said with a sweet laugh, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I am truly flattered."

"Alright, I promised you before that I could give you priority in alchemy. Now, tell me what you want."

After exchanging pleasantries, Han Feng got down to business.

Su Mei immediately stated her request.

She wanted a pill that could help her break through to the Douhuang realm faster.

"In this Black Corner Region, only Dou Huang level experts can sit firmly on the throne. This past year, I have exhausted all my efforts to prevent the Rakshasa Gate from being captured."

Han Feng nodded and wrote down some medicinal herbs on the paper.

"Sect Leader Su, please go back and collect these medicinal herbs. It's best to gather them within a month. Otherwise, you may have to wait until I return next time."

Su Mei was startled. "You, the city lord of Fengcheng, are going out again?"

She quickly took the list of medicinal herbs, not daring to be negligent.

"Then this humble woman will go back and collect them. May I ask, approximately how many portions of medicinal herbs does the Medicine King require?"

Han Feng smiled and didn't make things difficult for the other party: "Two portions are enough. If you really can't find rare medicinal herbs, one portion will do. In short, try to deliver it within a month so I can refine the pills for you."

"Ok."

Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief. If it was only two portions, that would be fine.

This was all thanks to Han Feng. If she had gone to the Black Emperor Sect to find another sixth-grade alchemist, the amount of medicinal herbs would probably have been three or four portions.

Moreover, this time Su Mei didn't even have to find the pill formula herself; she was only able to do so thanks to Han Feng's guidance.

How could any other alchemist possess such profound knowledge and a generous attitude?

Su Mei glanced up at Han Feng, then quickly lowered her head and left the hall with gratitude in her heart.

Just then, two streaks of gold and silver light suddenly appeared above Maple City.

Han Feng stepped out of the main hall in an instant and looked at the two people in the sky.

"The two elders, Jin and Yin."

"Your Majesty, at your invitation, my brother and I have come!"

Chapter 101: Overwhelm

The two elders, Jin and Yin, were incredibly impressive after advancing to the Dou Zong level.

With his feet firmly planted in mid-air, looking down at the city below, it felt as if the whole world was in his grasp.

They didn't seem to take Han Feng, a seventh-grade alchemist, seriously.

However, this was not surprising, since even before their breakthrough, the two elders, Jin and Yin, were still strangely confident and swaggered into the city lord's mansion.

Finally, Han Feng ripped them off for the cost of the medicinal herbs, which made them slightly more restrained.

Su Mei looked at the two figures above her with surprise. She was only a Dou Wang, and she had an instinctive awe for Dou Zong.

"Are they the Gold and Silver Elders?"

This was the first time she had met a legendary figure from the Black Corner Region.

Han Feng called out loudly, "Gentlemen, come down and let's talk."
