A cold white exotic fire, a teenage fourth-grade alchemist...
What do these remind you of?
Regardless of what others might think, Han Feng did recall a not-so-nice memory.
"You mean... that boy used a rare, cold white exotic fire?"
Although trying their best to suppress their emotions, Mo Tang and Hai Bodong both noticed something was wrong with Han Feng.
Although Hai Bodong looked calm, his heart was like a turbulent wave...
"This little guy... Did he already know that Han Feng would be interested in that special boy? Or is it that Han Feng is interested in that white exotic fire..."
Hai Bodong's mind raced, but he felt that this boy in front of him, who seemed to be able to see through everything at a glance, was no ordinary person!
Mo Tang, a skilled actor, replied with a slightly bewildered expression, "It is indeed a cold, white flame. After all, he's the champion of our Gama Empire Alchemist Conference, so this kind of public information is widely known."
He held back his refusal, tapping his fingers on the table, his gaze fixed on Mo Tang. He asked gravely, "Do you know anything about him?"
Mo Tang couldn't help but smile.
Even Han Feng, cunning as he might be, would still bite the hook I'd thrown...
But he couldn't act too eager at this point, so he pondered, "I don't know anything specific. I only know they're representing the Gama Empire's Black Rock City branch of the Alchemist Guild. I imagine they might have information about them..."
Black Rock City, the premier city in the eastern part of the empire closest to the Warcraft Mountains, had long been Mo Tang's covetous possession.
However, the complex web of factions within Black Rock City meant that even the current Mo Clan lacked the strength to capture it.
The Alchemist Guild branch, in particular, was the most troublesome of all.
While Mo Tang didn't think his casual move would be enough to do anything to the Alchemist Guild, it certainly wouldn't be a problem to cause them a little trouble.
…
With his mind preoccupied, Han Feng didn't have time to harp on Mo Tang and the others.
He simply agreed to help them refine the Evil-Breaking Pill and then dismissed them…
"Han Beng!"
Watching the two men disappear, Han Feng suddenly turned and shouted in a deep voice.
As soon as his voice fell, a ghostly figure flashed out, reappearing in the bamboo hut. Kneeling on one knee, his voice, though hoarse, remained respectful: "Master, what are your commands?"
"I want you to travel to the Jia Ma Empire's capital as quickly as possible and investigate all possible information regarding the winner of this Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Competition!"
"Quickly, understand!"
Hearing Han Feng's emphasizing again, the man called Han Beng realized the importance his master attached to this matter. He responded with a strong, respectful voice, then quickly plunged into the darkness and vanished.
Watching the shadow disappear, Han Feng finally let out a slow breath. He slowly walked to the window, gazing out at the emerald lake before him. Suddenly, a deep blue flame welled up in his eyes.
"Is it really you... Teacher..."
As the last two words left his mouth, Han Feng's previously calm face darkened into a ferocious expression. Flames flickered in his eyes, revealing a deep murderous intent.
...
...
Back at the inn, Hai Bodong was still incredibly excited.
After all, he was about to break the damn seal that had trapped him for decades. He hadn't felt so happy in all those years!
However...
turning his gaze to Mo Tang, Hai Bodong's face was filled with suspicion. He asked, "What secrets are you hiding from me, boy? Why do I feel like you're so familiar with this Medicine King?" "
Also, what's the identity of that champion from this Alchemist Conference? Is he related to this Medicine King?"
A series of questions had been lingering in Hai Bodong's mind for a long time.
However, having been at Han Feng's place, he didn't dare to speak or ask, so he kept them to himself.
Mo Tang tilted his head to glance at the curious old man, chuckling. "Guess?" "
Fuck your guess! "
Hai Bodong, already known for his bad temper, almost jumped out and blew the bastard's head off!
"Hmph! It's only because I've cultivated myself and become more compassionate over the years, otherwise, a bastard like you would have been frozen to ashes by me!"
Mo Tang simply glanced at him and said nothing.
Hai Bodong had no other options. For
the rest of the day, they could only wait...
Not only Mo Tang and Hai Bodong were waiting, but Han Feng was too.
However, Mo Tang wasn't just waiting for the Evil-Breaking Pill, but also for the Black Seal City auction, which had already begun to be advertised throughout the Black Horn Region.
As for Han Feng, while waiting for news from his men, he also refined Hai Bodong's Evil-Breaking Pill...
While the refining requirements for the Evil-Breaking Pill were special, requiring the refiner to possess a Strange Fire, the actual refining process wasn't difficult.
Of course, this wasn't Mo Tang's words, but rather the words of the old Chinese medicine master himself in the original novel.
With the Sea Heart Flame and the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, Han Feng refined the elixir in just a few days.
When Hai Bodong received the vial containing the Broken Evil Pill, a flicker of ecstasy crossed his aged face.
Mo Tang looked at Hai Bodong and smiled, "Mr. Hai, I've successfully obtained the elixir for you as agreed. As for the incomplete map..."
Hai Bodong put the elixir away and looked at Mo Tang, suppressing his excitement. "You're too impatient, young man! Although we have the elixir, we still have to try it to see its true effects..."
Mo Tang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to wonder if the old man had other plans.
Although he didn't have Yao Lao as his personal grandfather, like Xiao Yan, he now possessed a fully advanced Sky-Swallowing Python in his arms...
Even in his prime, the old man had been beaten like a grandson by the unevolved Queen Medusa. Now, facing the Sky-Swallowing Python, even one that hadn't fully awakened, it was more than enough to defeat him again. So Mo Tang wasn't worried about him playing tricks!
Of course, that was just the thought, but he still had to show his due.
Mo Tang's face darkened visibly, and he said, "Mr. Hai, that's not what we agreed to..."
"You found the recipe for the Po Evil Pill, prepared the ingredients, and the pill was personally refined by Medicine Emperor Han Feng!"
"The moment you received the pill, my part in our deal ended. Now it's time for you to pay the price..."
