While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 121 Sea Heart Flame

Maple City.

Since the death of Medicine King Han Feng, and the subsequent destruction of the Kui Lang Gang and the Beast Taming Sect, this city has become the focus of attention for countless people in the Black Corner Region.

Many unsuspecting people came to observe with doubts, but before they even entered the city, they saw the bodies of the two old men, Jin and Yin, hanging outside the city for all to see. In an instant, all their doubts vanished.

Even these two top-tier experts, who could rival a Dou Zong when they joined forces, suffered a calamity. There's only one explanation.

Within Maple City, there is a Dou Zong level expert in charge!

The Medicine King Han Feng, his death was not unjust!

With this consensus, even if Chen Xiao, Zi Yan and Queen Medusa were away for many days, Fengcheng remained as stable as a rock and no one dared to cause trouble.

Amid this stable situation, a large auction house began to be built in the city center.

"Lord City Lord!"

"Lord City Lord!"

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Chen Xiao and Zi Yan walked towards the bamboo house. Regardless of their true feelings, along the way...

It was just a perfunctory gesture; in any case, greetings were constantly being exchanged.

Chen Xiao didn't care about this, but Xiao Longren was quite envious. He secretly decided that he also wanted to get a domineering position for himself and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by people.

Back in the bamboo forest, you can see from afar that Hai Bodong and Cao Xi have set up a stone table outside and are playing chess together. Xiao Yixian and Cao Ying are standing in front of the bamboo house, quite close to each other, whispering to each other, and they seem to be getting along very well.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Xiao noticed that Hai Bodong's aura was significantly stronger than when they last met, indicating that he had already reached the strength of a six-star Dou Huang.

Little Fairy Doctor was still at the Nine-Star Dou Wang level, but her aura showed signs of breaking through, which made Chen Xiao secretly click his tongue in amazement.

The evil poisonous body is indeed too supermodel!

As for Cao Ying, Chen Xiao could clearly sense that her cultivation technique had changed, and it was now only at the mid-level of the Xuan rank.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame had enabled the Burning Technique to reach the mid-level of the Profound Rank, which was within expectations.

"Sister Cao Ying."

"Little Fairy Doctor Sister".

Without disturbing the two old men's chess game, Chen Xiao and Zi Yan walked towards the two women.

After a brief chat, once Hai Bodong and Cao Xi finished their game of chess, Chen Xiao led Cao Ying and Cao Xi to their room on the third floor.

With Queen Medusa's matter temporarily settled, it's time to put Cao Ying's strange fire refining on the agenda.

Xiao Yixian's strength increased too rapidly, and Chen Xiao didn't want to be left behind. After dealing with Hai Xinyan, it was time to calm down and retreat to break through.

"Fourth Elder, now that Cao Ying has completed her cultivation transition, we can begin preparing to refine the Sea Heart Flame."

Cao Xi nodded. "We're available anytime."

Cao Ying nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She only truly understood the wonders of the Burning Technique after she switched to another cultivation method.

This cultivation technique, even after absorbing the strange fire, was only at the mid-level of the Xuan rank, far inferior to the techniques she had cultivated before. However, she could feel that after switching to this technique, her control over the strange fire had become much more effortless.

Moreover, thanks to the wonders of the Burning Technique, her strength has fluctuated greatly, but it remains stable at the Great Dou Master level.

It is foreseeable that even if Han Feng has refined the Sea Heart Flame once, her strength will be greatly enhanced if she refines and devours it.

Although she wasn't particularly enthusiastic about cultivation, no one would refuse such a good thing.

After all, alchemy also requires sufficient battle qi to support it.

"Alright, let's retrieve the Sea Heart Flame first!"

Seeing that the two were ready, Chen Xiao did not hesitate any longer and immediately took out the jade bottle that sealed Han Feng's soul and placed it on the table.

Cao Xi casually set up a seal to block out outside sight and sound before erasing the seal on the bottle opening. Han Feng's venomous curses then rang out.

Upon seeing the strange fire rise from Cao Ying's palm, Han Feng's soul trembled and fell silent instantly, his eyes filled with undisguised fear.

"Han Feng, hand over the Sea Heart Flame."

Chen Xiao didn't need to threaten him; Han Feng was well aware of his current situation.

The fact that he erased the soul imprint from the Netherworld Ring last time proved that he wasn't a tough nut to crack.

Being obedient doesn't guarantee survival, but at least it can save you from suffering.

"I'll give you the Sea Heart Flame, just let me go!"

Knowing that it was no longer up to him whether to hand over the Sea Heart Flame or not, Han Feng did not hesitate but put forward a ridiculous condition.

Chen Xiao and the other two looked down at him, none of them speaking, as if they were looking at a clown, their gazes blatantly undisguised.

This caused Han Feng to break down instantly, his expression collapsing.

"Hand over the Sea Heart Flame, and I might spare you from being sent to the Starfall Pavilion. You have no room for negotiation. You should know how many years that Venerable Wind has been searching for you."

Hearing this, Han Feng's heart trembled.

No one knows better than him the sins he himself has committed.

Given the relationship between Venerable Feng and Yao Chen, if they were to capture him, the consequences would be ten or even a hundred times worse than what happened to Chen Xiao. At that point, he might not even be able to die!

I hope you'll keep your word—

After offering a low prayer, Han Feng ceased his futile resistance and readily surrendered the Sea Heart Flame.

For him, a miserable life was better than death; as long as he didn't perish immediately, as long as he didn't fall into the hands of the Starfall Pavilion,

They could just survive one day at a time.

A sliver of hope still lingered in his heart.

Perhaps, when news of his demise reaches the Soul Palace, the person who cooperated with him back then might come to the Black Corner Region because of the Sea Heart Flame.

At that time, all those powerful Dou Zong cultivators will be nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs, and he will have hope of seeing the light of day again.

A deep blue flame, as blue as the sea, drifted out of the jade bottle. From something that had an owner to something that was ownerless, the Sea Heart Flame began to expand at a visible speed under the watchful eyes of Chen Xiao and the other two, looking as if it was about to explode.

However, Cao Xi was prepared. He reached out and grabbed, and a surge of powerful fighting spirit bound him tightly in his palm, preventing him from unleashing even the slightest burst of power.

"Just like last time, let me deplete the energy of this Sea Heart Flame completely before I begin refining it!"

With a flick of his finger, Cao Xi resealed the jade bottle containing Han Feng's soul. After giving some instructions, he carried Hai Xinyan away. He needed to find a place to have some fun with Hai Xinyan.

Chen Xiao watched him leave without any worry.

A Sea Heart Flame that has been refined once poses no threat to a four-star Dou Zong.

"Although we have the help of the Fourth Elder, we still cannot be careless in refining the strange fire."

Turning his gaze to the graceful Cao Ying standing beside him, Chen Xiao offered a kind reminder.

I can't let this genius alchemist, whom I finally managed to win over, get gone.

Cao Ying remained calm. "Don't worry, I still have two Frost Spirit Pills and one Battle King Pill. I will give up if things become hopeless. I've talked a lot with Sister Little Fairy Doctor these past few days, and I know how much you value this matter."

"Little Fairy Doctor?"

Cao Ying smiled gently, "Of course!"
