Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

The three continued their journey toward the Tianmu Mountains, the final stop in their northern strategy.

Han Feng arrived at the outer edge of the Tianmu Mountains, and the surrounding scenery was somewhat different from what he remembered.

That year, after breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, the Flame God stood tall in the sky, and everyone prostrated themselves in worship.

Now that he has broken through to the Dou Zun level, looking back on those days, he can only sigh at how quickly time has passed.

Han Feng sensed the Sea Heart Token he had given to Jin Shi years ago and used the Sea Heart Flame to send a prompt.

Not long after, a golden light flew from the deep mountains and stopped in mid-air.

Upon seeing Han Feng, the other party paused for a moment, then confirmed his presence several times before slowly lowering himself down.

"Mr. Han?"

"Elder Jin Valley, it's been many years. How are you?"

Jin Gu nodded.

"I'm fine, but Mr. Han has changed a lot."

After saying that, Jin Gu turned and waved his hand.

"please."

Han Feng and Jin Gu walked up the mountain.

"How is Chief Jinshi?"

"Brother, he has been cultivating deep in the Blood Pool for the past few years and has made rapid progress, but he has indeed developed some health problems. He originally wanted to wait a bit longer."

"and many more?"

Jin Gu said somewhat helplessly, "The clan leader felt that the opportunity to invite Mr. Han was too rare and wanted to wait until he could no longer hold on before seeking your help."

Han Feng was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

Can this matter be delayed?

If things aren't handled properly, it's not impossible that one could lose their life.

"Chief Jinshi is quite frugal."

Han Feng made a comment.

Jin Gu said awkwardly, "My brother is stubborn. I've tried to persuade him many times, but it's no use. It's good that you came, Mr. Han, otherwise I feel he could have dragged it out for another two years."

Han Feng: ......

"You didn't go down to cultivate?"

Han Feng observed that Jin Gu showed no signs of fire poisoning and appeared to be in good health.

"My elder brother said that one of us should proceed cautiously, so I didn't go to the depths of the blood pool and instead cultivated in the shallows."

While the shallower layers of the blood pool are not as effective as the deeper layers, they are safer and more stable.

Han Feng nodded.

The two brothers trusted each other deeply and had a strong bond.

If this situation happened with other brothers, it would be very likely to cause conflict.

However, it is precisely because of this that the Gold-Eating Rat clan, with its two sects working together, was able to intimidate others and occupy the Tianmu Mountains.

"This Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool is indeed a treasure, but everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and rapid progress is not necessarily a good thing."

Han Feng said.

Jin Gu nodded, then suddenly remembered something.

"Mr. Han, what level have you reached now?"

Han Feng remained silent for a moment.

"Why do you ask?"

Jin Gu scratched his head and said in a low voice, "A rare treasure has recently appeared in the Changheng Mountains. If Mr. Han's cultivation level is sufficient, I would like to invite Mr. Han to go with me."

"Changheng Mountains?"

Han Feng frowned. "Is it that large mountain range in the Eastern Region?"

"Exactly."

"Oh, it's there? I'm busy, you'll have to go by yourself."

Han Feng shook his head.

"Once I remove the fire poison from Chief Jinshi's body, you two brothers can go together."

"I don't think that will work. My elder brother will definitely stay behind to guard the Tianmu Mountains."

Jin Gu sighed; it seemed he would have to go alone after all.

I wonder how fierce the competition is there.

As Han Feng walked, he recalled the events of the Changheng Mountains.

In my previous life, a rare treasure appeared in the Changheng Mountains. It was first discovered by the Wanjian Pavilion, and then various forces, large and small, from the Eastern Region went there.

When Han Feng arrived from the Southern Region, the treasure was being chased by the strongest group of people.

That was a lump of spiritual soil, possessing its own consciousness, which kept several Dou Zun completely bewildered.

At that time, Han Feng possessed the Xuanhuang Flame and had a natural affinity for earth-attribute spiritual objects.

Therefore, no one expected that the treasure that everyone was scrambling for would crash right into Han Feng's arms after seeing him.

Han Feng wasn't stupid. The treasure was originally unclaimed, so once he got his hands on it, he naturally ran away as fast as he could.

Afterwards, the leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion scolded Han Feng for lacking martial ethics, to which Han Feng retorted that he was acting like an old man who was taking advantage of his age.

Enraged, Sword Venerable went to Starfall Pavilion.

At that time, Yao Chen was not in the pavilion, so Feng Xian took action, giving the opponent enough face, and "slightly" won the battle against the Sword Venerable.

Once defeated, there's nothing more to say.

The Sword Master slunk away, but he remained resentful about the incident.

However, Han Feng doesn't have time to compete with the Myriad Swords Pavilion for the spirit land right now.

His mind was focused on finding a teacher, and he was too lazy to fight the old man.

Besides, he hasn't refined the Xuanhuang Flame yet, so even if he goes, he might not be able to get the spirit soil.

It's all a matter of timing and fate. Hopefully, Sword Master will be able to obtain it successfully this time.

It would be ridiculous if I still couldn't get it even without my interference.

The two reached the mountaintop, but overlooked the two girls behind them who were panting heavily from exhaustion.

However, this is also a form of training.

"I'll go tell my brother that Mr. Han can rest in the quiet room for a while."

Jin Gu glanced at Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin. These two should be Mr. Han's apprentices. They were so young, and it was quite remarkable that they could climb the Tianmu Mountain Range.

"Master, why does my body feel heavier the higher we go up this mountain?"

After Lin Xian'er calmed down, she asked.

“Naturally, one cannot enter a blessed land casually. The closer one gets to the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool, the greater the pressure one will feel.”

This is a mechanism for the blessed land to protect itself.

The Gold-Eating Rats are small in size and have strong resistance to pressure, giving them a natural advantage.

After living here for so many years, the descendants have gradually adapted to this environment.

However, if an ordinary cultivator is visiting for the first time and their cultivation level is below Dou Wang, and they have not yet opened up the inner and outer worlds, they will feel uncomfortable.

"Didn't you also say that the Medicine Saint Valley where we stayed before was a blessed land?"

Lin Xian'er retorted.

"It's very comfortable there."

Han Feng chuckled.

"If I hadn't led you in directly, do you think you could have easily traversed the sea of ​​fog in the sky?"

"That's it."

Lin Xian'er nodded.

"Looks like I'm still not strong enough!"

"Take it slow. At this stage, a solid foundation is very important."

Han Feng reached out and probed.

"A Seven-Star Grand Dou Master? Isn't that pretty fast progress?"

"Hey, it's okay."

Lin Xian'er smiled shyly.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside.

Jin Shi strode into the hall and his face lit up with joy when he saw Han Feng.

"Mr. Han, you really came!"

Han Feng stood up to return the greeting.

"Clan Chief Jinshi, I heard from Elder Jingu that if I hadn't come, could you have held on for another two years?"

Jin Shi glared at his younger brother, then laughed and said, "I just wanted to give him more opportunities to get rid of the fire poison later!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Gu's eyes reddened.

"Big brother!"

"Stop howling!"

Han Feng nodded upon seeing this.

"Chief Jinshi is indeed a man of great loyalty. How about this, from now on, we don't need to set any specific times for each other. If needed, I can regularly remove the fire poison from the Gold-Eating Rat clan. What do you think?"

"This, this is unacceptable!"

Jin Shi was greatly surprised after hearing this.

"Chief Jinshi, please don't refuse. Actually, I've come here to ask you for a favor."

Han Feng explained the purpose of his visit.

"Mr. Han, please speak."

Jin Shi's expression turned serious.

"I want Chief Jinshi to help me find someone."

Find someone? That's easy!

Jin Shi immediately made the decision.

When it comes to intelligence capabilities, the Gold-Eating Rat clan is quite proud.

They had some understanding of the various forces, large and small, and even the ancient races in the Central Plains.

"Clan leader, don't worry. The person I'm looking for is now a soul, which makes it much more difficult than finding a normal person."

"Soul body?"

Jin Shi frowned.

“Searching for a soul is indeed much more difficult, but it’s not impossible. Mr. Han, if you can provide any clues, I will immediately arrange for people to search for it.”

Han Feng revealed some clues and also took out an auxiliary instrument to demonstrate its use.

"With Mr. Han's tools, the search difficulty will be reduced considerably."

Jinshi examined the soul-device.

"However, I heard that the Central Continent Soul Palace has also been searching for soul entities. The person Mr. Han is looking for has died over a long period of time, so... you should be mentally prepared."
