A week passed quietly.
During this time, Qing Lin broke through to become a Dou Grandmaster, meeting the condition to visit her mother.
Han Feng had promised her before that once she broke through to Dou Grandmaster, he would take her to the Flower Sect to see Ye Qingyun.
However, the little girl was not in a hurry. She knew Han Feng was busy, so she didn't ask.
Han Feng kept this matter in mind, thinking that he would take Qing Lin to see her mother when he returned to the Central Plains later.
As for the Heavenly Snake Mansion, there was no rush for the time being.
The matter of Shi Yuan and his disciple Qin Miaoyin had served as a reminder to Han Feng.
Entrusting a child to others for cultivation was not necessarily a good thing.
The values of young boys and girls were not yet fixed and were easily influenced by others. If the person cultivating her had incorrect values or extreme ideas, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The reason Han Feng wanted to send Qing Lin to the Heavenly Snake Mansion for further studies was that the Heavenly Snake Mansion was Qing Lin's destination in her previous life, and they possessed the legacy to develop the Jade Snake Three Flower Pupils.
Special physiques required special cultivation methods to perfectly stimulate their potential.
Just like Lin Xian'er's Woeful Poison Body; if Han Feng didn't have a technique specifically designed to solve the side effects of the poison body, he wouldn't have easily accepted this disciple.
Having accepted this apprentice, he had to be responsible for her life.
Although Qing Lin was not Han Feng's disciple, he had watched her grow up and treated her like a junior family member. Han Feng naturally couldn't hand her over to others casually.
So before sending her to the Heavenly Snake Mansion, he definitely had to go and investigate personally.
If the Heavenly Snake Mansion acted upright and had a strict atmosphere, then Han Feng would arrange a Dao protector for Qing Lin and contact her regularly, so there should be no major problems.
But if the Heavenly Snake Mansion acted improperly, Han Feng would not send Qing Lin there to study.
The best way would be to exchange pills for the legacy of the Jade Snake Three Flower Pupils.
During these seven days, Xiao Yan's injuries had also fully recovered. Last night, after swallowing the Amethyst Source Pill, he successfully advanced to a one-star Dou Master.
Dou Qi transformed into gauze. The golden Dou Qi of the "Profound Yang Art" condensed into a thin gauze garment, wrapping around Xiao Yan's body.
At the same time, a purple flame surged in his Dantian, quickly igniting the Dou Qi, turning the gauze garment gold and purple, shining brightly.
"I have finally become a Dou Master!"
Xiao Yan roared at the sky.
Years ago, he was already a cultivator at the Dou Practitioner realm, but his Dou Qi was sucked away by Yao Lao, downgrading him to a weakling with three stages of Dou Disciple.
Now, he had truly broken through his limits and stepped into the ranks of Dou Masters.
The Dou Master realm was considered a mainstay in the Xiao family, enough to hold the position of a steward.
But in front of the Misty Cloud Sect, it was just the beginning.
Since Nalan Yanran was chosen as the disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master, it meant her talent was also excellent.
The three-year agreement was a battle of spirit between young people. His teacher and senior brother could not fight for him, nor should they.
Nalan Yanran's appearance when she broke off the engagement back then slowly surfaced in Xiao Yan's mind.
She was indeed beautiful. When sitting, her posture was elegant and her demeanor extraordinary, but in Xiao Yan's eyes, that face was truly disgusting.
Clenching his fists, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and stood up.
He was no longer the trash from back then. He wanted to make Nalan Yanran see with her own eyes that her so-called arrogance was worthless!
Xiao Yan walked out of the room and happened to see Han Feng in the main hall.
"You broke through? Not bad."
Han Feng nodded.
He had thought that Xiao Yan wouldn't be able to break through to Dou Master while recuperating, but he hadn't expected him to break through even in such adversity.
"I originally planned to set off tomorrow, but since you have come out of seclusion, we will leave this afternoon."
Han Feng said.
Xiao Yan was stunned.
Going to Jia Nan Academy today?
"Then I'll go back to my room to pack."
Xiao Yan went back to his room and quickly packed his personal belongings.
Han Feng went to notify Lin Xian'er and the others to get ready to leave.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, in front of the Bamboo Forest Ancient Building, everyone stepped onto the flying treasure ship and headed for Jia Nan Academy.
Peace Town.
Han Feng brought Xiao Yan here to recognize the way. Under normal circumstances, entering and exiting Jia Nan Academy was done through this small town.
"Elder Han!"
This time, the guard at the gate recognized Han Feng.
Not only because he had exited the [Brahma Heart] state and his appearance had returned to normal, but also because in the recent Black-Corner Region, Han Feng's name was incredibly resounding.
The Black Alliance, a huge organization encompassing the entire Black-Corner Region, had integrated the originally scattered major factions.
Almost overnight, the Black-Corner Region changed.
Killing was no longer allowed in many places, and armed fights were strictly forbidden in the cities.
Violators would be arrested by local leader organizations.
Although this move could not completely reverse the bloodthirsty atmosphere of the Black-Corner Region, it had already made everyone in Jia Nan Academy feel it was incredible.
Only the Black Alliance Leader, Han Feng, could issue orders so thoroughly and maintain such a high execution rate.
If someone else were the alliance leader, perhaps Jia Nan Academy would face a formidable enemy, but the name Han Feng was too familiar to the people of Jia Nan Academy.
Elder Han Feng, the great hero who once saved the Inner Academy, which senior student didn't know him?
Him serving as the Black Alliance Leader, wasn't that equivalent to Jia Nan Academy unifying the Black-Corner Region?
Han Feng nodded to the guard. He could now enter by scanning his face, without needing to show proof.
But for the sake of rules, he still explained the identities of the group.
"This is the academy's new student, Xiao Yan. I'm taking him in to go through the enrollment procedures."
"Okay, please come in!"
Watching the guard's respectful attitude towards Han Feng, Xiao Yan knew that his senior brother was a top figure in this Jia Nan Academy.
This was Jia Nan Academy!
The top institution of higher learning on the Dou Qi Continent.
How many prodigies and great figures had it cultivated?
Among them, there were many elders holding important positions in major factions in the Central Plains.
On the Dou Qi Continent, the threshold for ordinary cultivators to enter the Central Plains was very high.
But many students in Jia Nan Academy were children of large families in the Central Plains, who had specially traveled far to study.
If one could build a good relationship with these children of large families during their time as classmates, the chances of entering the Central Plains to make a living after graduation would be greatly increased.
In addition to the rich alumni resources, the abilities of the mentors and elders were also quite outstanding.
No matter what cultivation attribute, there were corresponding Dou King elders to teach you.
Xuan Rank cultivation techniques that could only be obtained by relying on large factions outside could be exchanged for with merit points in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion as long as the student performed well.
Even if a student's aptitude was insufficient to enter the Inner Academy, the various resources of the Outer Academy alone were enough to cultivate an outstanding cultivator.
Along the way, Han Feng introduced the situation of the Outer Academy to Xiao Yan and entrusted him with some matters needing attention.
"You can sign up for this year's Inner Academy Selection Competition. You don't need to win the championship. As long as you persist to the end, you will have the qualification to enter the Inner Academy."
"Inner Academy?"
"Mm, Jia Nan Academy is divided into Inner and Outer Academies. Most students cultivate in the Outer Academy. The Inner Academy is only accessible to a very small number of outstanding students."
Han Feng explained, "You are going to the Outer Academy alone this time. You can contact the members of your Xiao family. If there are outstanding ones, you can participate in the selection competition together and strive to enter the Inner Academy as soon as possible."
"Mm... huh?"
Xiao Yan nodded, then looked at Han Feng in surprise.
"Senior Brother, why am I the only one?"
"Xian'er and Qing Lin have been cultivating with me in the Inner Academy from the beginning, so there is no need for them to go to the Outer Academy."
"Then what about Xun'er?"
"Xun'er?"
Han Feng looked at Xiao Yan. Seeing his anxious face, he explained:
"Xun'er is already a Dou Spirit. With such aptitude, there is no need to participate in the election."
Xiao Yan stood frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning, unable to move for a long time.
Dou Spirit!
Cousin Xun'er is already a Dou Spirit?
How is that possible?
Gu Xun'er saw Xiao Yan's expression of disbelief, so she raised her hand and circulated her Dou Qi, condensing a long sword in mid-air.
External release of Dou Qi, plus Dou Qi condensation.
She was definitely a Dou Spirit.
Xiao Yan staggered and sighed.
"Cousin Xun'er, you... do you also have a special physique?"
Gu Xun'er nodded.
"So your cultivation at the coming-of-age ceremony before... was fake?"
Gu Xun'er said somewhat embarrassedly, "Cousin Xiao Yan, it wasn't good for me to attract too much attention in the Xiao family, so I hid my cultivation."
Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile.
"So that's it, so that's it."
Indeed, if Xun'er had shown the cultivation of a Dou Spirit in the Xiao family, it would have been too shocking.
A girl who had just come of age having a cultivation stronger than the clan leader was too much of a fantasy.
"Cousin, you have to work hard in the Outer Academy alone too."
Gu Xun'er encouraged.
Looking at Xun'er's smiling face, Xiao Yan's heart warmed.
"Mm, I will work hard."
Han Feng comforted, "Don't worry, the Inner Academy Selection Competition is not a problem for you. As long as your luck isn't too bad, you can pass."
Hearing Han Feng's words, Xiao Yan's heart warmed again.
Since Senior Brother said so, he definitely wouldn't have a problem.
Xun'er, wait for me!
The treasure ship landed in the Outer Academy, and Han Feng took Xiao Yan to go through the enrollment procedures.
The Vice-Headmaster of the Outer Academy, Hu Gan, personally received Han Feng. His attitude was very friendly, even respectful.
"Elder Han, leave this to me. I will take him to his class."
"Then I'll trouble the Vice-Headmaster."
Han Feng nodded to Xiao Yan.
"Senior Brother."
"Mm?"
"Before you leave, can you let me see Teacher one more time?"
Thinking that he wouldn't see Han Feng for a long time, Xiao Yan felt a little lost and uneasy.
After all, after his teacher fell asleep, Han Feng had been by his side, teaching him like a teacher.
Han Feng smiled gently, said a few words to Hu Gan, and then took Xiao Yan to a quiet place.
He sealed the surrounding space, and then let Yao Chen out.
"Teacher! You... how did you become handsome?"
Xiao Yan shouted in surprise when he saw Yao Chen.
"Stinky brat, I just became younger."
Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan and nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, you've already broken through to Dou Master."
"It's all thanks to Senior Brother's good teaching."
Xiao Yan modestly attributed the credit to Han Feng.
"Hehe, it's his own hard work. I didn't expect that after recuperating from injuries for half a month, you could actually break through to Dou Master before entering the academy."
Han Feng laughed.
"Keep up the good work in the Outer Academy. Teacher and I will wait for you in the Inner Academy."
"Mm!"
Xiao Yan nodded seriously.
Seeing that Yao Chen's body had become more solid after being taken away by his senior brother, Xiao Yan felt relieved.
He knew that the reason he was cultivated by Han Feng like this was largely because his teacher had accepted him as a disciple.
Apart from this, Xiao Yan didn't think he had anything worthy of Han Feng's regard.
A transmigrator?
He had never revealed this secret.
And looking at it now, a transmigrator wasn't anything special.
Xiao Yan only hoped that he could seize the time to grow in the future and strive not to become a drag on his teacher and senior brother.
Leaving the spatial barrier, Han Feng handed Xiao Yan a storage ring.
"Inside are your cultivation resources for three months. I will check your cultivation results regularly, so don't slack off."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I won't let you down!"
Xiao Yan was full of motivation. He took the storage ring and said heroically.
"Good."
Han Feng nodded.
After seeing off Xiao Yan, Han Feng went to the Library Pavilion to visit the two elders, Qian and Bai. However, sensing that the two were in seclusion cultivating, he didn't disturb them.
It seemed that the last spar had put pressure on the two of them, and now they were starting to attack the bottleneck.
Returning to the treasure ship, Han Feng took the four girls to the Inner Academy.
Entering the spatial gate, Gu Xun'er saw the Inner Academy hidden in the mountains and forests for the first time.
But this little trick was too childish for the eldest miss of the Gu Clan.
Han Feng went directly to Elder Su Qian's office building.
After returning to the Inner Academy, Zi Yan seemed like a fish back in water, recovering her little demon king nature. She rushed into Su Qian's office first and pulled a few of the old man's beard hairs.
"Old Man Su, I'm back."
"Ouch..."
Su Qian clutched his chin, looking at the few long hairs in Zi Yan's hand with some distress.
"You wretched girl, no sense of propriety. Have you played enough outside?"
"No!"
Zi Yan put her hands on her hips.
"You..."
Su Qian sighed.
"Forget it, forget it, do as you please. Anyway, your cultivation... Hmm, you broke through to Dou Emperor?"
Su Qian looked closely and said in surprise.
Zi Yan patted her small chest proudly.
"Old Man Su, I went out to venture alone. This achievement is passable, right?"
"Sigh, you broke through to Dou Emperor, but you still haven't grown up?"
Su Qian sighed.
Zi Yan's face changed, and she couldn't smile anymore.
Han Feng walked in from outside with the three girls at this time.
"Elder Su Qian."
"Elder Han."
Su Qian stood up to greet him.
"Congratulations on successfully unifying the Black-Corner Region."
"Just a convenient act."
Han Feng looked at Zi Yan.
"I brought her back to you. Elder Su, don't blame me for this anymore."
"Not at all, not at all!"
Su Qian explained quickly.
"This girl's heart has run wild. I'll have to trouble you to take care of her in the future."
Su Qian took Zi Yan's hand and placed it in Han Feng's hand.
"When Zi Yan was young, she always said she wanted to find her own kind, but I haven't been able to help her find them until now. This girl relies on you quite a bit, Elder Han. I'm entrusting her to you now. I hope you can help her fulfill her wish in the future."
Zi Yan blinked, jumped behind Su Qian, and pulled a few more of his beard hairs.
"Old Man Su, don't think about driving me away. I'll come back to see you often."
"Ouch!"
Su Qian continued to cover his chin.
"You wretched girl, don't pull my beard at the drop of a hat!"
Zi Yan ran away giggling.
"Han Feng, you guys go back first. I'll wander around."
Su Qian looked at Zi Yan's back and shook his head.
"Sigh, I spoiled her when she was young. Elder Han, you have to be careful in the future too. Don't let her pluck your hair."
Han Feng touched his chin. He didn't have the habit of growing a beard.
