Chapter 471 Canaan Explosion, Han Feng is Excited

Beyond the endless mountain ranges within the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy lies a city called Maple City.

The city here is not particularly prosperous, but it holds a pivotal position within the Black Corner Region.

The reason is simply that Han Feng, the Medicine King of the Black Corner Region, resides here.

Han Feng, a sixth-grade alchemist and the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region, is not the strongest in the region, but he holds a high position in the hearts of many forces and powerful figures.

Of course, a sixth-grade alchemist is quite rare even on the entire continent. Even ordinary Dou Huang or Dou Zong experts would have to be polite to him.

After all, everyone knows the immense influence a sixth-grade alchemist wields.

Although Han Feng is from the Black Corner Region, he is not a native of the region.

The Black Corner Region was originally a chaotic place. Han Feng's family was wiped out in his early years, leaving only him alive. Fortunately, he was encountered by Yao Lao, who raised him and trained him in various skills.

Although Yao Lao is only a soul, he already possesses the strength of a Dou Zun. When he is in good condition, his strength is extremely powerful.

His disciple Han Feng, whom he had carefully trained, was still only a sixth-grade alchemist, which, to be honest, was quite poor.

There are many reasons for this.

Having betrayed his master and ancestors, Han Feng obtained the Burning Technique and resolutely abandoned his cultivation to start over, only to find that he had only obtained half a scroll of the technique.

The initial level of the Burning Technique was already at the bottom of the cultivation technique grade. The incomplete Burning Technique that Han Feng obtained was naturally below the Yellow Rank, and the Burning Technique had no effect of fusing different flames for his own use.

Even though Han Feng was lucky enough to obtain the strange fire, it caused him all sorts of torment, and he would suffer from the backlash of the strange fire from time to time.

Therefore, even though he had been trained by Yao Lao, Han Feng only possessed the strength of a peak Dou Huang at present.

Judging from his experience, he was able to cultivate to this level of strength by using the incomplete Burning Technique, absorbing only the Sea Heart Flame ranked fifteenth, and even suffering the backlash of the strange fire. He must have the ability of a sixth-grade alchemist, which is definitely not bad.

Having abandoned his prestigious status as the young master of the Starfall Pavilion and his teacher, Elder Yao, most people would call Han Feng heartless, but Han Feng firmly believed that he had done the right thing.

It was with this thought that Han Feng, even though he was like a stray dog, still devoted himself wholeheartedly and cultivated to this level of strength with only half a scroll of the Burning Technique.

Even a three-year-old child in Zhongzhou knows, "One hall, one pagoda, two ancestral temples, three valleys, and four pavilions."

Having followed Elder Yao to Zhongzhou, Han Feng naturally gained a clearer understanding of the disparities between the various forces in Zhongzhou.

The hall and the tower refer to the Soul Hall, also known as the "scavenger" of souls on the Dou Qi Continent; the tower is the holy land of alchemists.

Among souls, the soul of an alchemist is of the highest quality.

The Soul Palace has been capturing souls for years, which inevitably led to enmity with the Pill Tower.

The Danta has a great reputation, but its management is lax.

Becoming an alchemist is already a privilege of the heavens, let alone having the identity of the Pill Tower, one naturally feels even more superior.

Unless there is a significant difference in ability, no one will truly submit to the other.

The Soul Hall's members can cover every corner of the Dou Qi Continent, yet the Pill Tower's members are nowhere to be seen. This is not only because the Pill Tower is backed by the Soul Hall, and because the souls of the fallen powerful individuals remain, are captured by the Soul Hall, or join the Soul Hall to continue surviving, but also because the Pill Tower has not accomplished much.

The Soul Palace today is not much different from the Soul Palace of many years ago.

Although Han Feng was an alchemist and the future heir of the Starfall Pavilion, he always felt immense pressure.

Although the Starfall Pavilion is strong, it is still inferior to the Three Valleys. Not to mention that above the Three Valleys, there is a vast gap between the Two Sects before one can reach the level of the Pill Tower and contend with the Soul Palace.

The feeling was like the Soul Palace raising a pig in a pigsty; once it's fattened up, it's time to be slaughtered, and it has no chance to fight back.

Later, after coming into contact with Mu Gu, he gained a deeper understanding of the power of the Soul Palace. His identity as the disciple of the Medicine Venerable and the future successor of the Starfall Pavilion became completely unimportant.

The old doctor's idea wasn't wrong. If Han Feng cultivated step by step, his future achievements would naturally surpass those of the old doctor.

However, with the existence of a Soul Palace that hunts souls, Yao Lao already holds immense allure for the Soul Palace. If he were only slightly stronger than Yao Lao, once the Soul Palace gets agitated, the two of them would be nothing more than lambs to the slaughter, and even the entire Starfall Pavilion would be destroyed as a result.

The appearance of the Burning Technique became an opportunity for Han Feng.

Rather than surrendering and waiting to die, it's better to take a gamble. Even if you die, it's better than being taken away like pigs or sheep.

If not for this plan, it would be truly inconceivable that Han Feng would abandon his mentor and father, Yao Lao, and his noble status as the heir of the Starfall Pavilion. Knowing that the incomplete Burning Technique was even worse than a low-level Yellow Rank technique, he would still abandon his cultivation and even put his life on the sword of Venerable Feng.

After all, even a low-grade Yellow Rank Burning Technique is enough to deter countless people. To be able to completely abandon one's cultivation and start over with a mere fragment of the Burning Technique that is not even a low-grade Yellow Rank is something that no one could do without a major reason.

Moreover, his strength at that time was still quite different from that of a peak Dou Huang today. Without Yao Lao's protection, he might have had his soul stripped away by the Soul Palace in the blink of an eye.

He destroyed his own protective charm and crippled his own cultivation. How can this be explained without a deeper reason?

However, he was constantly suffering from the backlash of the strange fire, and Han Feng, who was already willing to take unconventional paths, had already undergone a major change in his temperament.

Following Yao Lao, Han Feng personally witnessed him demanding the Three Thousand Thunder Movements from Feng Lei Pavilion and the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire from Fen Yan Valley.

Although both attempts ended in failure, Han Feng, through his exposure to these techniques, also came to believe that as long as a cultivation method, combat skill, or secret technique had something remarkable about it, he was willing to take a look.

Han Feng harbored resentment when he made that decisive move back then.

Yao Lao can ask other people for their fighting techniques and secret methods, so why does he treat his own things like a thief?

Despite their resentment, the two were master and disciple, but their relationship was more like that of father and son. Han Feng thought to himself: It would be better for Yao Lao to die at his hands than to be imprisoned by the Soul Palace and made into a pig or dog. If he were to survive by sheer luck, half a scroll of the Burning Technique would be enough to revive him.

This behavior, which may seem shocking and even animalistic on the surface, actually contains a reason behind it.

Unfortunately, after practicing the incomplete Burning Technique, Han Feng's temperament changed drastically. His resentment towards Yao Lao could no longer be offset by the bond between master and disciple or father and son. No one knew what he was going to do.

Maple City is named after Han Feng.

In the Black Corner Region, which is filled with chaos and slaughter, only a handful of people can enjoy this honor, and Han Feng is one of them!

In the very center of the city, there is a bamboo forest that is completely different from the noisy market outside.

This bamboo forest is heavily fortified. Ordinary people would be attacked indiscriminately if they even approached a certain area, let alone entered.

Every year, quite a few people are killed by the bamboo forest guards for these reasons. Therefore, although this place is quiet, it is also a forbidden place in the hearts of many people in Maple City.

In the quiet contemplation of the bamboo forest, the man's sharp gaze was fixed on the distant northern horizon, where he sensed a strange, familiar yet subtly familiar energy fluctuation.

The man was Han Feng. He was quite handsome and looked to be only around thirty years old. His slightly thin lips were tightly pursed, giving him a cold and stern look. However, it was precisely this that made him more charming.

Her long black hair fell to her shoulders, and her body seemed to always carry a strange medicinal fragrance, making people feel an irresistible sense of closeness.

The blue alchemist's robe had an ancient medicine cauldron emblem painted on the chest, with six golden lines on the cauldron, symbolizing his rank as a sixth-grade alchemist.

On the back of the robe is a finely crafted character "枫" (maple).

"This feeling..." Han Feng's slightly thin lips were tightly pursed, giving off a cold and stern vibe.

However, it is precisely this that gives him a unique charm.

The scroll slowly tapped against his forehead as Han Feng murmured softly. After a few breaths, the scroll suddenly froze, and his eyes flashed with lightning speed. "Strange fire?!"

His calm state of mind was shaken by the sudden energy fluctuation. Han Feng narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then flicked his finger. A deep blue flame, like clear lake water, emerged from Han Feng's body and enveloped him completely.

This deep blue flame is quite strange. It looks like a pool of clear lake water flowing, but the most realistic senses clearly tell you that it is not a pool of water, but a flame.

As the deep blue flames rose, Han Feng's soul power suddenly increased dramatically. The vague sensations he had felt before were now extremely clear, as if they were surging around him.

"It really is a strange fire!" The deep blue flames around his body suddenly receded, and Han Feng stood up abruptly, his eyes burning as he gazed at the distant mountains.

After a moment, Han Feng's suspicions were finally confirmed. He muttered to himself, "How could a strange fire be so easily subdued? Canaan Academy must have made this earth-shattering explosion, and the ignition will eventually come to an end..."

The original phrase should have been "to set oneself on fire," but before Han Feng could finish speaking, a surge of fervor suddenly appeared on his usually cold and stern face.

Han Feng, this peak Dou Huang, instantly had his handsome face contorted into a grimace, his hand clutching his chest as he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his breathing becoming extremely disordered.

After a long while, Han Feng finally returned to normal. He took a deep breath and said with a grimace, "If I had obtained the complete Burning Technique, I wouldn't have suffered like this. If I had obtained another kind of strange fire, breaking through to the Dou Zong realm would have been a piece of cake."

The strange fire Han Feng was referring to was not the one he had just sensed from Canaan Academy, but rather Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

The Bone Spirit Cold Flame ranks eleventh, with ice and fire coexisting in one. Such a strange and extraordinary flame is truly rare and hard to come by.

"Han Bei." Han Feng recovered and shouted.

The words had barely faded when a figure, as elusive as a ghost, flashed out and appeared inside the bamboo hut. Kneeling on one knee, the figure's voice, though hoarse, remained respectful: "What are your orders, Master?"

"Take these tokens and inform them to have their sect leader arrive in Maple City within two hours. I need their help. Also, personally deliver these two tokens to that place and ask the two gentlemen to come as well," Han Feng casually waved several strangely shaped tokens and threw them at the kneeling figure.

The latter caught it with lightning speed and put it into its storage ring. Just then, two more tokens, one gold and one silver, shot over.

The figure, who had been expressionless, accepted the somewhat unusual gold and silver tokens with both hands. A slight change in expression crossed his face as he murmured, "Master, you're even inviting them? They wouldn't even see ordinary people. Inviting them this time... I'm afraid you'll need to offer something they desire. If it's just to deal with the Flame Alliance, isn't that a bit of a waste?"

Speaking of the Flame Alliance, Han Feng suddenly flew into a rage: "How did the Eight Gates manage to ally themselves with such an unheard-of force? They actually dared to steal the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill I took! And the people they sent were wiped out by this Flame Alliance. They really have no respect for me, the Medicine Emperor!"

Han Feng took out the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, which was practically free after he ate it, hoping to recruit more helpers. However, not only was the pill stolen, but his own men were also killed. He lost both the pill and his face. How could he not be furious?!

Han Bei's eyes were wide with anger. He originally had a brother named Han Beng, who was the one who went to the Eight Doors to ask for pills, but was killed by the Eight Doors. The people under the Medicine King of Fengcheng had never suffered such humiliation!

Han Feng slowly exhaled and said, "The Flame Alliance will be destroyed sooner or later, but not now. Just do as I say. If I can achieve my goal, the mere Flame Alliance can be wiped out with a flick of my finger."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Han Bei did not hesitate any longer and respectfully responded. Then, his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

As the dark figure disappeared, Han Feng slowly exhaled, gazing at Canaan Academy in the distant mountains, deep blue flames appearing in his eyes.

If one could obtain a second kind of strange fire, devour and refine it, and after the cultivation technique is upgraded, perhaps the drawbacks of the incomplete cultivation technique could be repaired.

Although he wields immense influence in the Black Corner Region, Canaan Academy is also a behemoth.

Generally speaking, even he is unwilling to provoke others easily. Of course, this unwillingness will automatically dissipate when a certain benefit is achieved, such as the temptation of strange fire!

Especially since his Yin-Yang Xuanlong Pill was stolen and his subordinates died in the Yan Alliance, he urgently needed to improve his strength and restore the reputation of the Medicine Emperor.

Although Han Feng had never heard of the Flame Alliance, which the Eight Doors had climbed up to, he knew that the Flame Alliance was no ordinary force and had some ability, since the Blood Sect and the Black Skull Tomb had been subdued by the Flame Alliance.

However, if he could master two different flames and break through to the Dou Zong level, even some of the established forces in the Black Corner Region, Han Feng would not be afraid.

How violent are these strange flames? One of them is enough to intimidate a group of powerful people. Han Feng knows this all too well. If he had two strange flames, even if he had just entered the Dou Zong realm, he would still be a very powerful Dou Zong.

Thinking of the many benefits involved, and even the fact that his alchemy skills could be improved by adding another type of strange fire, Han Feng became even more excited.
