Medusa followed closely behind and also dripped her blood essence onto the Myriad Beast Catalog.
Han Feng clasped his hands together, and the flame condensed into a point.
Swoosh!
After being compressed to the extreme, two tiny flames flew out from it. Han Feng flicked his finger and sent them to Cai'er and Medusa.
"This is the sub-flame of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, which can temper the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline in your bodies."
Hearing this, Cai'er and Medusa looked pleasantly surprised.
Tempering the bloodline!
Cai'er had previously found a strange stone related to the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python in the Medicine Saint Valley. After refining it, her bloodline improved significantly, but she was still a sliver away from transforming into the Eight-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
The same was true for Medusa.
Can this Myriad Beast Spirit Flame really temper the bloodline in their bodies as Han Feng said?
If so, can it help them complete the final transformation and upgrade their bloodline?
Without hesitation, the two women swallowed the two wisps of sub-flame into their bodies.
Han Feng continued: "The sub-flame of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame can not only temper the bloodline in peacetime but also provide combat power enhancement when you encounter danger."
"I have released the control of these two wisps of sub-flame, so you can freely control the timing of the enhancement."
"The upcoming battle with the Hall of Souls will be a tough one. Take the time to familiarize yourselves with it before it starts."
After Han Feng finished speaking, he left the cultivation room to the two women and walked out of the house himself.
Cai'er and Medusa didn't waste time and quickly began to refine the Heavenly Flame sub-flame given by Han Feng.
Coming to the valley, Han Feng thought about the next personnel arrangement.
He only had five Sky Demon Puppets left in his hand. Counting the other three Dou Venerate-level puppets obtained from the Spirit Mountain in the Southern Region, there were eight in total.
These could be used immediately.
There were also some Dou Venerate corpses that had not been refined due to material issues.
For example, the previous Old Man Mu Gu, the two slain Hall of Souls Venerable Elders, and the eighth-tier magical beast that was beaten to death by everyone in the Spirit Mountain in the Southern Region.
But as long as he broke through a few Earthly Baleful Halls, Han Feng could quickly gather the precious raw material—"soul bodies"—to refine Sky Demon Puppets.
Soul source was the most precious thing in each Earthly Baleful Hall. Han Feng didn't plan to waste it on Sky Demon Puppets, but those rough soul bodies extracted from the Hall of Souls emissaries could be used as materials for refining puppets.
Eight Dou Venerate puppets, with relatively low realm strength, could be grouped in pairs for safety. Attacking the Earthly Baleful Halls with the determination to perish together should be able to take them down smoothly.
Anyway, they were all puppets. If the goal could be achieved, it didn't matter if they were all scrapped.
Elder Yao and Uncle-Master Feng both had the combat power of Heavenly Venerates now. Elder Yao had even reached seven-star Dou Venerate and could completely take down an Earthly Baleful Hall alone.
Cai'er and Medusa could team up and lead some Dou Ancestor combat forces to choose an Earthly Baleful Hall with ordinary strength to attack.
There was also the spirit weapon [Extreme Lion]. The artifact spirit Jin Xi had broken through to the five-star Dou Venerate realm under the perennial nourishment of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, and even awakened a special form—Extreme Dao Golden Lion. After awakening, her combat power directly rivaled a seven-star Dou Venerate.
All usable combat forces, preliminary calculation, could take down eight Earthly Baleful Halls in one fell swoop in the fastest time.
This was without counting Yao Chen and Han Feng.
If his master wanted to break through to Half-Saint, he probably wouldn't be able to participate in this operation.
He needed to coordinate the overall situation and look for opportunities to attack the Human Hall, so he couldn't go too deep. He could only deal with a few Earthly Baleful Halls in passing during the first attack.
When the Hall of Souls reacted, the battle would become more difficult.
And this interval would not be long. After all, the Hall of Souls was the pinnacle of first-class forces in the Central Plains. They might redeploy their defenses on the same day.
Behind the Hall of Souls was the Hun Clan, with extraordinary foundations. If the battle line was stretched, it would be even more disadvantageous to Han Feng.
However, Han Feng did not intend to annihilate the Hall of Souls at once.
As long as he could make a name for the Soul-Exterminating Division and let the entire Central Plains know that someone was dealing with the Hall of Souls, future matters could be planned step by step.
Han Feng stayed in the Snake-People Valley for about ten days. After helping Cai'er arrange the corresponding matters, he received a message from his teacher.
[The medicinal ingredients have been gathered.]
This was waiting for him to refine pills.
Han Feng bid farewell to the two women, passed through the void, and returned to the Falling Star Pavilion.
"So fast?"
Yao Chen was still transmitting the message a second ago, and the next second, Han Feng appeared in front of him.
Why does this kid's spatial ability feel even better than mine?
Could it be that he has had continuous fortuitous encounters in the years he disappeared?
Otherwise, how could he have such achievements at such an age?
Thinking of this, Yao Chen glanced at his old friend beside him.
Compared with Han Feng, Feng Xian had made almost no progress in cultivation.
He had lived all these years in vain...
But fortunately, he was still very reliable in doing things.
"Teacher, Uncle-Master, are the medicinal ingredients ready?"
Han Feng asked.
Yao Chen nodded and handed three eighth-tier medicinal ingredients to Han Feng.
Han Feng checked them and saw no problem with the quality of the medicinal ingredients, so he said, "Then I'll start refining pills."
"Go to the back mountain. The energy of heaven and earth is richer there."
Feng Xian said.
The three came to the back mountain, and Mu Qingluan also rushed over at this time.
"Senior Brother, I'm here to watch you refine pills!"
Han Feng smiled and checked the things needed for refining the Half-Saint Pill again before setting off. After confirming everything was ready, he leaped up and flew to the top floor of the Star Tower.
"Heh, I want to see what this kid can refine."
Seeing Han Feng go up, Yao Chen chuckled lightly and followed closely, but instead of entering the Star Tower, he observed from the outer layer.
In the Star Tower, Han Feng took out the Myriad Beasts Cauldron and washed it with the Sea Heart Flame first to moisten the cauldron body.
Whoosh!
Five-colored Heavenly Flames ignited in Han Feng's hand. Except for the Netherworld Poison Flame, the other five types of Heavenly Flames could be used to refine Half-Saint pills.
This time, Han Feng went all out and used the fused Heavenly Flame at the beginning stage.
The temperature in the cauldron rose rapidly. Han Feng threw the base medicinal ingredients into the Myriad Beasts Cauldron one by one. In a moment, these medicinal ingredients turned into energy essence, gradually filling the entire medicine cauldron.
When the aroma overflowed, Han Feng crushed the Frost Adhesive Spirit Fruit into spirit liquid with his soul power, then spread it out to seal the entire cauldron surface.
The medicinal fragrance condensed and mixed in the Myriad Beasts Cauldron. Han Feng carried out various operations methodically, and everything seemed just right.
Yao Chen watched and marvelled more and more in his heart.
It was incredible. Just in that short while, Han Feng had used more than six alchemy techniques, both overt and covert.
And half of them were techniques Yao Chen had never seen before. In other words, many of these techniques might have been created by Han Feng himself!
Yao Chen considered himself knowledgeable in the alchemy world, but perhaps because he had been missing for decades, he had not kept up with the development of the times.
But little did he know that it wasn't that he couldn't keep up with the current era, but that Han Feng himself came from a more distant era.
Han Feng's alchemy skills had been honed until he was nearly a hundred years old in his previous life.
He had been practicing until his death.
"Yao Chen, why do I feel that Feng'er is more powerful than you now?"
Feng Xian said from the side.
He didn't understand the tricks of alchemy very well, but from the perspective of technique, Han Feng seemed more mature.
Yao Chen's face twitched slightly.
"Well said, the student surpasses the master..."
"But you don't need to remind me next time."
Yao Chen waved his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back.
As an alchemist, how could he not know that he had actually been surpassed by his disciple?
Feng Xian: ...
"I'm just telling the truth."
Feng Xian muttered, shook his head, and continued to watch Han Feng refine pills.
On the other side, Mu Qingluan spread her Dou Qi wings and hovered by the tower.
"Senior Brother looks so handsome refining pills..."
She thought to herself.
Mu Qingluan looked at her chest, which seemed to have grown a little but not obviously, and sighed slightly.
"If only I had met Senior Brother earlier."
This time at the Four Pavilions Grand Competition, she would definitely be teased again when she met Feng Qing'er.
Time passed bit by bit. By the fifth day, the surrounding environment had completely quieted down, and Han Feng's alchemy had also entered a critical moment.
He formed a seal with his hands, and a pillar of energy light shot out from the Myriad Beasts Cauldron into the sky.
Disciples in the Falling Star Pavilion who were not in seclusion looked at the surging energy of heaven and earth in the back mountain one after another.
"What is that?"
"A phenomenon of heaven and earth!"
"Wait, it's a lightning tribulation!"
Some sharp-eyed cultivators noticed the gradually accumulating thunderclouds.
"It's Pill Lightning! Has an expert refined a pill again?"
Rumble!
Lightning of different colors brewed rapidly.
This time, the lightning changed extremely fast.
Without giving Han Feng time to hesitate, nine different colors of lightning had already accumulated.
Judging from the condensation speed of the Pill Lightning, the medicinal power of this pill had probably surpassed the peak of the eighth grade and was moving towards the ninth grade.
Rumble!
Suddenly, in the sky, the nine-colored lightning began to rotate and undergo further changes.
Yao Chen was shocked when he saw this scene.
No way, could it be...
As if he had sensed something, as soon as Yao Chen had this thought, he saw a wisp of extreme black lightning born from the thundercloud.
"Black Demon Lightning!"
One of the most dangerous lightning tribulations in history!
While Yao Chen was shocked, he also became worried instantly.
Black Demon Lightning is a symbol of ninth-grade pills.
Ninth-grade pill!
How did this kid refine it!
In the Star Tower.
Han Feng formed seals with both hands, and profound imprints were beaten into the pill one after another.
Then, he spat a mouthful of blood onto the pill.
"Blood Sacrifice!"
Han Feng's eyes were solemn, and the surrounding spiritual qi of heaven and earth surged crazily.
"Spirit Return!"
Rumble!
In the sky, the black lightning grew an inch larger and finally hovered over the Falling Star Pavilion.
Feeling the terrifying power within this lightning, Yao Chen and Feng Xian looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
"If this lightning strikes down, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Can Feng'er handle this?"
Feng Xian said worriedly.
"What's the use of being anxious?"
Yao Chen replied.
"Now we can only depend on him."
"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, this shouldn't be the real Black Demon Lightning!"
Yao Chen said suddenly.
"This should be just a half-step ninth-grade."
"I've seen the real Black Demon Lightning. Its power is at least three times stronger than this one today."
