For the next three days, Han Feng used the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire to conduct preliminary bloodline body tempering for the arriving magical beasts. While refining the bloodlines for the ten thousand beasts, he also fiercely recovered a wave of blood for the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
The Beast Region is vast and abundant in resources, and many places are forests with a strong primitive aura, breeding countless spiritual medicines. From the number of magical beasts coming to participate in the baptism this time, it can be seen that behind every magical beast, there is a spiritual medicine of the same grade. In just three days, Han Feng made a fortune. They say the ruling class makes money fast; as this king wearing the uncoronated crown of the Beast Region, he really got a lot of benefits.
After the baptism assembly ended, the next one would be held annually according to the set rules.
After sorting out the harvest this time, Han Feng summoned Yao Ming and gave him some instructions before his departure.
Defeating the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan twice, the reputation of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan had reached an unprecedented height. How to make good use of this fame required Yao Ming to make careful decisions.
Taking this opportunity to spread the huge number of Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons to form an intelligence agency covering the entire Beast Region is the current top priority.
In addition, breaking through his own strength and reaching Three-Star Dou Saint as soon as possible is also Yao Ming's task.
Regarding how to develop the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python, Han Feng didn't interfere too much. He only emphasized that Yao Ming must not act recklessly. If the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python got carried away and did some things it shouldn't do relying on its powerful prestige, then he could change the agent at any time.
After giving the instructions, Han Feng checked the barrier outside the Nine Serene Yellow Spring again to ensure no one would enter and disturb, then left the Nether Serpent Mountain Range directly.
Central Plains, Central Region.
The holy land for all alchemists, the Pill Tower, is currently carefully preparing for the Pill Gathering.
As the grandest alchemy competition on the Dou Qi Continent, the Pill Gathering is held every thirty years, aiming to cultivate young alchemist geniuses.
But the rewards for the top ten in this Pill Gathering are extraordinary.
The legendary Three Thousand Burning Flame, the quota for refining is officially opened. All alchemists entering the top ten of this Pill Gathering are qualified to try refining this Heavenly Flame.
As soon as this news spread, those veteran alchemists also became uncalm.
Although competing with juniors on the same stage is a bit shameful, what is face compared to the legendary Heavenly Flame?
Besides, the Pill Tower has no hard rule that the elderly are not allowed to participate in the Pill Gathering. Since it is in line with the rules, why can't they participate?
The Pill Tower is a top-tier major force. Every rule is fixed, and from the moment it is promulgated, it has extremely strong effect.
Even the three giant figures of the Pill Tower find it extremely difficult to change the rules.
Therefore, those older generation alchemists also decided to come to participate in the Pill Gathering this time.
Han Feng is one of the alchemists who decided to come to participate in the Pill Gathering this time.
Of course, Han Feng is not considered the older generation. He is Yao Chen's disciple, and Yao Chen is a figure from the same period as the three giant figures of the Pill Tower.
If the disciples of the three giant figures can participate, why can't Han Feng participate.
What? His cultivation is too strong, already surpassing the current highest-level elders of the Pill Tower?
There is specialization in surgery, and the master comes first.
Although Han Feng's cultivation and alchemy skills have surpassed everyone in the Pill Tower, including that elusive Pill Tower Ancestor, in front of Han Feng who has a resume of refining a finished Emperor Pill, they can only bow down in defeat.
But Han Feng's age is not as high as these people. Under the accumulation of years, the older generation of cultivators must also have some places that surpass Han Feng.
At this time, outside the Pill Tower.
Yao Chen brought Xiao Yan and others to the Holy Pill City.
Xiao Yan looked at everything around him with a face full of curiosity.
This is his first time coming to the Central Region and also his first time coming to the Holy Pill City.
As the center of the Central Plains Continent, the geographical location of the Pill Tower is extremely superior, and the status it represents behind it is also at the level of a continental leader.
In the azure sky, from time to time, a Dou Ancestor walking on the void appeared. Here, Dou Ancestors are not rare powerhouses.
Some rare magical beasts that Xiao Yan had never seen before were used as mounts by those alchemy aristocratic families, galloping high in the sky, majestic and sacred.
It has to be admitted that even if the Falling Star Pavilion rose very fast recently, compared to this ancient force that has stood for an unknown period, the Pill Tower, there is still a certain gap.
Yao Chen didn't reveal the foundation of a Dou Saint powerhouse, but restrained his aura, strolling in the Holy Pill City like an ordinary elder.
After many years, he also returned to this place again.
Decades ago, Yao Chen won the championship of the Pill Gathering with a perfect quality Rank 8 pill and possessed the qualification to become a giant figure of the Pill Tower.
But at that time, he didn't like restraint, so he rejected the invitation of the Pill Tower, turned to establish the Falling Star Pavilion, threw the stall into the hands of Venerate Feng, and then traveled around the continent.
If he had known those things would happen later, perhaps joining the Pill Tower would also be a good choice.
During those countless nights experiencing Han Feng's backstabbing, Yao Chen thought about this question.
He also fantasized that if he had the force of the Pill Tower behind him, the Hall of Souls wouldn't dare to easily target him.
A large part of the reason for Han Feng's betrayal should be blamed on Old Man Mu Gu.
An underage youth, whose values were not yet set and whose thoughts were extreme, being bewitched onto the evil path is also excusable.
As a teacher and at the same time a person who raised him, Yao Chen's failure to notice Han Feng's changes in time was also his dereliction of duty.
Standing on this land full of memories, Yao Chen thought a lot.
"Teacher."
Xiao Yan's voice woke Yao Chen up.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yan pointed forward.
"Does that auntie know you?"
Yao Chen looked at the place Xiao Yan pointed to and saw a woman in a red dress with a graceful temperament standing at the corner of the street, watching him.
The moment he saw the other party, Yao Chen's footsteps paused.
A weird atmosphere arose under the gazes of both sides.
Xiao Yan shrank his neck, wanting to run away a bit.
"Yao Chen, long time no see."
The woman in red walked over.
"Xuan Yi... long time no see."
Yao Chen said with a complex expression.
"This is your disciple?"
Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Yan, her gaze sharp, carrying a sense of scrutiny.
"Yes, he is my young disciple, named Xiao Yan."
Yao Chen introduced.
"Greetings to Senior Xuan Yi."
Xiao Yan cupped his hands in salute.
Xuan Yi nodded faintly.
Yao Chen quietly gave Xiao Yan a wink, signaling him to slip away quickly.
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, understanding perfectly.
"Teacher, I suddenly remembered something. I'll go find Senior Sister Qingluan first."
Yao Chen waved his hand.
"Go, go, pay attention to safety."
Xiao Yan slipped away immediately and disappeared from this street in a few seconds.
Xuan Yi watched the little movements of this master and disciple without exposing them, just watching silently like this.
"How... have you been recently?"
Yao Chen asked somewhat awkwardly.
Xuan Yi spoke slowly: "Just like that, what about you?"
"I'm also fine."
Yao Chen replied, and then the two fell into silence again.
Xuan Yi said somewhat crossly: "After so many years, you are still the same as back then!"
Yao Chen smiled awkwardly and didn't speak.
Although Xuan Yi and he had an unusual relationship, and the two did spend some time together, it was always Xuan Yi being active and Yao Chen being passive.
The only time Yao Chen was active was when he refused to become Dao companions with Xuan Yi.
"Where is your other disciple? He didn't come?"
Xuan Yi asked.
She remembered very clearly that Yao Chen rejected her while holding a baby back then.
And that baby's name was Han Feng.
"Feng'er is still outside. This time... he should be rushing here."
Yao Chen said.
Han Feng's cultivation of the "Flame Mantra" requires Heavenly Flames, and the most attractive thing about this Pill Gathering is the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
He will definitely come to participate.
Yao Chen thought.
"Oh? Then I really want to see what your precious disciple looks like now!"
Xuan Yi said.
Back then, Yao Chen said he wanted to raise Han Feng so he rejected her. Xuan Yi has always been brooding over this matter.
With a woman's dignity, she wouldn't ask Yao Chen again if he wanted to become Dao companions, but this knot must be untied!
At least she has to see what Yao Chen's precious disciple looks like now, to be worth him pouring so much painstaking effort into.
Yao Chen smiled upon hearing this, and at the same time felt somewhat emotional in his heart.
If Feng'er hadn't changed, Xuan Yi saying this would be mocking me for being blind to people.
Fortunately, fortunately...
Feng'er is now not only filial, but his strength and achievements are also above mine.
The student surpasses the master; this disciple is presentable!
The two chatted for a while longer. Xuan Yi is now one of the three giant figures of the Pill Tower, a super powerhouse at the Peak Dou Venerate level.
Although she hasn't broken through to Half-Saint, the status of a Pill Tower giant figure is not inferior to some Half-Saint powerhouses.
Xuan Yi said that if Yao Chen had joined the Pill Tower back then, perhaps he could become an elder with extremely high authority in the Small Pill Tower now.
Yao Chen simply blurred his affairs over the years, summarizing his disappearance back then as being severely injured by the Hall of Souls and returning only after healing.
"Alright, that's it for today."
Xuan Yi actively ended today's conversation.
"Xuan Kongzi also knows you're here, but he's quite busy today. He might come to find you tomorrow."
Yao Chen nodded.
Xuan Kongzi was also his former friend, now the head of the three giant figures.
"No hurry, anyway, since I'm here, we will meet eventually."
Yao Chen laughed.
Xuan Yi suddenly turned to look at him, a moving look hidden in her eyes.
Yao Chen's expression instantly became awkward; he was not used to dealing with this kind of thing.
Xuan Yi didn't say anything, just took a deep look at Yao Chen, then turned and left.
"Gone."
Confirming that Yao Chen still didn't have that kind of thought towards her now, Xuan Yi stopped pestering him.
Yao Chen watched her leave, his hand hidden in his sleeve clenching slightly.
To be honest, if he said he didn't have a trace of emotion for Xuan Yi in his heart, that would be impossible, otherwise he wouldn't have revealed an awkward expression.
But Yao Chen knew very well that he couldn't give Xuan Yi the life she wanted.
Whether it was the Venerate Yao who liked to tour the world back then, or the Medicine Saint bearing important responsibilities now.
Some things are destined to have fate but no destiny.
On the other side, Han Feng had arrived in the Pill Region.
The Pill Gathering was about to be held, and many alchemists from all over the continent could be seen on the road. They hurried towards the direction of the Pill Tower, wanting to participate in this Central Plains grand event held once every thirty years.
Lin Xian'er followed Han Feng, clicking her tongue in wonder seeing the scenery of a long queue in the sky.
"Worthy of being the Central Plains Pill Region, big places are just different!"
Han Feng said: "You can't see such a scene usually. It's only because the Pill Gathering is held that so many people come."
The master and disciple proceeded to the main gate of the Holy Pill City first, registered, and entered the outer city.
Many people had already arrived in the outer city, and the vendors large and small on the street were very lively. Lin Xian'er visited a few stalls and bought some beautiful jewelry.
Afterwards, the two chose a restaurant to have lunch. The unique pill delicacies of the Holy Pill City don't focus on the effect of refining Qi, simply for deliciousness, extracting the taste of various delicious fruits and vegetables and refining them into pills.
Don't look at these pill delicacies having no use for cultivation; they are extremely popular in the Pill Region.
Sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, Han Feng ate while watching the pedestrians coming and going. Suddenly, his gaze fixed, seeing a pair of sisters.
Making Han Feng's gaze stop naturally meant they were old acquaintances.
This pair of sister flowers are the two daughters of the Chen family in Beimang City,
Sister Chen Yunshu, sister Chen Xiaoyu.
Observing the changes of the two, Chen Yunshu had already cultivated to the Six-Star Dou Ancestor realm. Her strength couldn't be said to establish a sect, but suppressing a Beimang City was more than enough.
Back then, she advanced to Dou Ancestor with Han Feng's help. Now seeing her grow to the point of standing on her own, it can be considered living up to the grace of assistance back then.
Sister Chen Xiaoyu, previously in Canaan College, took the initiative to ask Han Feng to be her master, but was politely declined for some reasons. Later, she went to the Pill Tower to study. Looking at her clothes and the badge hanging on her chest now, it shows she is already a Rank 7 Junior Alchemist.
This girl's talent is indeed not bad. Rank 7 alchemists cannot be seen casually. If placed in the former Black-Corner Region, she would be called the Chief Alchemist.
Didn't you see Elder Huo of Canaan College, delving into it for a lifetime, is only a Rank 5 Peak.
In the Northwest Continent, the weight of a Rank 7 alchemist is absolutely not light.
Watching the two sisters shopping together, Han Feng smiled gently and didn't disturb them.
Everyone's destiny is not entirely the same. Although he had intersections with them before, there is no need to disturb them too much. Seeing that they both live the lives they once yearned for is enough.
After having lunch with Lin Xian'er, Han Feng went to find Yao Chen and Xiao Yan.
He had sensed the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame sub-flame before, indicating that Teacher and Little Junior Brother were already in the Holy Pill City.
At this time, Xiao Yan was participating in a good-item trade fair with Mu Qingluan.
Mu Qingluan walked generously in front, while Xiao Yan followed behind like a little brother.
Last time after Qingluan woke up, learning that Xiao Yan became the champion of the Four Pavilions Grand Competition, she chased and beat him for three days and three nights, forcefully honing Xiao Yan's movement Dou Technique to a new level.
Since then, Xiao Yan became well-behaved.
He no longer called her Junior Sister all the time, but changed it to Senior Sister Qingluan.
Mu Qingluan was very satisfied with Xiao Yan's sensible attitude and stopped making things difficult for him.
"I say, Senior Sister, there's nothing good to stroll around here. Let's go outside to get some fresh air."
Xiao Yan said.
"If you can't stay, go out yourself. I'll look some more."
Mu Qingluan's eyes didn't leave the exquisite clothes in front of her.
She prefers these things, and because of the changes in her figure, her previous clothes are no longer usable, so she has to buy new ones.
Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.
This time he came to participate in the Pill Gathering, not to go shopping!
