Inside the pavilion, Hun Changqing was cultivating, refining a simplified version of the "Taiyin Pill." The medicinal resources consumed in refining the Taiyin Pill were simply too terrifying; Hun Changqing couldn't afford to eat it like candy. He could only settle for having Yao Chen refine a "Small Taiyin Pill" for daily cultivation.
The goal was to slowly accumulate the medicinal power and condense an energy tide capable of breaking through the Dou Zun barrier as soon as possible. The Taiyin Pill needed to be swallowed at the very last moment of the breakthrough.
The Taiyin Pill would instantly generate a massive amount of Yin energy within his body, shattering the seemingly fragile but actually rock-solid barrier in one fell swoop, allowing him to break through to the Dou Zun realm.
Once Hun Changqing broke through this Dou Zun barrier, which was several times stronger than that of ordinary people, he could feel his Taiyin True Body undergoing a transformation! He didn't know exactly what the transformation would be like, but he knew it would be countless times stronger than he was now!
Currently, aside from the enhancements gained when cultivating Yin energy and a slight increase in the power of Yin energy, the Taiyin True Body shows no other extraordinary characteristics. Clearly, it hasn't yet demonstrated its true potential.
However, Hun Changqing believes that the Taiyin True Body he develops after breaking through to Dou Zun will not disappoint him. Furthermore, there's the "Weapon Refining Chapter" of the Taiyin True Understanding; he can already foresee the exponential increase in strength when he advances to Dou Zun!
Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Hun Changqing's face, a smile entirely composed of inner joy, devoid of any of his usual evil or sinister intent.
Then, Hun Changqing gathered his aura, completely refining the medicinal power of the "Little Taiyin Pill," transforming it into pure Taiyin energy, storing it within his body, slowly accumulating.
Opening his eyes, Hun Changqing suddenly sensed Hai Bodong's request to see him outside the pavilion, as if something was amiss.
With a flick of his finger, Hun Changqing dispelled the invisible array that enveloped the entire pavilion, which had been completely obscured from the outside. With a deep, resounding thud, the array dissipated, and the main door to the pavilion opened.
Seeing the door open, Hai Bodong flashed into a blue light, appearing before Hun Changqing in an instant. He bowed and said,
"My lord! There's a man outside claiming to be Han Feng requesting an audience. He says he has important matters to discuss and also reveals that he has a good cooperative relationship with your organization, the 'Soul Palace.'"
Upon hearing Hai Bodong's words, Hun Changqing's expression instantly turned incredibly strange, his eyes filled with disbelief. He now wondered if he had misheard.
He hadn't found Han Feng when he wanted to kill him, and after spending several days here, either cultivating or tormenting Medusa, he had almost forgotten about Han Feng. And now, Han Feng had delivered himself right to his doorstep.
"Heh heh... Let him in, life is unpredictable~"
Hun Changqing revealed a sinister smile, which sent a chill down Hai Bodong's spine. He quickly agreed and then left the pavilion to bring Han Feng in.
...
Han Feng soon walked in from outside the pavilion, wearing a magnificent alchemist's robe that accentuated his well-proportioned figure and handsome face.
He exuded an amazing and intoxicating fragrance of medicinal pills, and an elegant and serene aura emanated from him, making everyone who saw him exclaim, "What a handsome young man!"
Han Feng smiled like a spring breeze and gave Hun Changqing a slight bow, elegant yet dignified, before saying,
"I presume you are Protector Qing? I am Han Feng, a sixth-grade alchemist in this Black Corner Region, and I am known as the 'Medicine Emperor'.""I have a long-standing relationship with the Soul Palace, and our cooperation has always been quite pleasant. However, I've encountered some difficulties and would like to ask Protector Qing for assistance. I'm confident that the reward I offer will not disappoint you!"
After hearing Han Feng's words, Hun Changqing suddenly became interested in what Han Feng was saying and stopped rushing to act.
Hun Changqing wanted to hear what problem Han Feng, who could practically summon the entire Black Corner Region's experts, had encountered that required the intervention of a Dou Zong expert.
Could it be the Fallen Heart Flame of Canaan Academy? But Hun Changqing hadn't sensed any energy fluctuations from the Fallen Heart Flame when he arrived. Han Feng's actions piqued Hun Changqing's curiosity.
"What is it? Tell me." "
Hun Changqing adopted a hoarse, shrill voice, as if speaking an old man, and asked,
"This year, a powerful figure named 'Old Demon Gu Fen' appeared in the Black Corner Region, causing countless killings. His strength is extraordinary. Back then, with the strength of a low-level Dou Huang, he fought against several high-level Dou Huangs and killed three of them, and was even rescued in the end.
Now, he is suspected of having advanced to the Dou Zong realm, and the person who rescued him back then should also be a Dou Zong realm expert. Therefore, I want to ask the Protector to take action and kill this Old Demon Gu Fen." "
Another Gu Fen Old Demon? What's his background? Why is there such a person in the Black Corner Region? I have absolutely no recollection of him."
After hearing Han Feng's words, a series of doubts instantly surfaced in Hun Changqing's mind. He vaguely sensed that something was wrong with this Gu Fen Old Demon, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Although this Gu Fen Old Demon should only be a newly entered Dou Zong level expert, he inexplicably felt uneasy about him, which puzzled him. Why would someone who had just entered Dou Zong make him uneasy?
"Why should I help you? What conditions can you offer?"
Hun Changqing said calmly.
However, Han Feng looked confident and composed.
"Guardian Qing, you may not know this, but the reason this Gu Fen Old Demon was able to defeat a stronger opponent is because of a strange fire he possesses.
This fire is entirely dark gold in color, very similar to the 'Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Fire' described as the seventh-ranked strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking. I believe you, Guardian, are quite interested in this strange fire, aren't you?" Han
Feng knew that Gu Fen's strange fire could not possibly be the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Fire; it must be a fused strange fire. However, he wanted to kill Gu Fen with the help of so many Dou Zong powerhouses.
Han Feng knew that this strange fire could not possibly fall into his hands, so he might as well just say that it was a strange fire with a similar color to the fused strange fire. He didn't need them to believe him; he just needed to arouse their suspicion so they could try to seize it themselves. Han Feng only needed the Burning Technique in Gu Fen's possession!
Hun Changqing was completely dumbfounded after hearing Han Feng's words, looking at Han Feng with an expression of utter disbelief. "Don't you want to hear what you just said?
The Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Fire? Isn't that the strange fire of the Yan Clan Chief, Yan Jin? Why don't you just say that the one inside him is the Void Devouring Flame? And that he is actually the Soul Emperor?"
