Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Sikong Chan seemed to be deep in thought.

"Are there any places similar to the Purple Shattered Ruins in the Northwest Continent?"

"That's not true."

Han Feng then realized that if Xuanwu went to the Northwest Continent, it meant that the Northwest Continent had also been invaded by evil races in the past.

How come there is no trace of the great war left in the Northwest Continent now?

Was it completely annihilated? Or did some powerful figure intervene and drive it away?

Han Feng subconsciously thought of "Emperor Tuoshe", after all, the current Northwest Continent is where this Dou Di left his legacy.

Back then, Emperor Tuoshegu must have also stayed in the Northwest Continent.

"Speaking of which, when I discovered the remains of the Black Tortoise, I also found traces of the White Tiger."

Han Feng changed his mind and told them about it.

Lacking knowledge of such ancient matters, he decided to ask the Empress.

"White Tiger?"

Sikong Chan looked at Han Feng in surprise.

What kind of luck do you have?

One Xuanwu inheritance wasn't enough, so they added a Baihu as well?

"Don't look at me with such envy. I was almost seriously injured by it."

Han Feng gave a wry smile and recounted the embarrassing incident.

"In the memories left by Xuanwu, it is said that Baihu betrayed him, killed Xuanwu, and then fled to another place."

"what?!"

Sikong Chan was stunned.

Xuanwu died, and Baihu betrayed him?

What an epic joke!

In her worldview, the other three great spirit beasts, alongside the Vermilion Bird, are all god-like beings who descended to earth to save the Dou Qi Continent.

How could such a heroic figure do such a despicable thing?

Seeing Sikong Chan's surprise, Han Feng asked, "Didn't the Vermilion Bird leave any relevant information?"

Sikong Chan shook her head, then glanced at Han Feng.

"The only time I saw the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy during my reign was at the Purple Shattered Ruins, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy was talking to you the whole time."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Han Feng said somewhat awkwardly.

He thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"However, historical records state that the White Tiger was the kindest of the four spirit beasts. He was willing to sacrifice his own essence to completely eliminate the evil strongholds scattered throughout the Dou Qi Continent. His contribution to that battle was second only to the Ancient God, and even on par with the Azure Dragon."

"Kind?"

Han Feng was somewhat surprised when he heard these records.

If the historical records are accurate, then it is somewhat inconceivable that the White Tiger would commit such a treacherous act.

"The answer may only be known to them."

Sikong Chan regained her composure.

Although the news Han Feng brought was quite explosive, it didn't have any real impact on her at the moment.

The grudges of that generation are not something she can concern herself with.

"No matter what, this cultivation manual is real, so it was worth it."

Sikong Chan said.

Han Feng nodded and put away the tortoise shell and the manuscript.

He gained a lot from this trip to the Southern Li Empire, and all his goals were achieved.

The secret of the Xuanwu tortoise shell script, the essence blood of a top-tier eighth-order magical beast.

Although the Empress's attitude was a bit off at first, she didn't refuse to help at all and was very cooperative.

In return, Han Feng presented a Nine-Turn Saint-Making Pill of Nine-Colored Thunder quality as a token of his appreciation.

"Are you ready to leave?"

Sikong Chan suddenly asked.

Han Feng paused, his foot about to step forward.

"Well, I didn't allow too much time this time, so I have to go back."

Sikong Chan chuckled lightly, "When have you ever given me enough time?"

Han Feng said somewhat awkwardly, "Next time, next time for sure."

Sikong Chan sighed: "Alright, it's normal that the Prince of Zhennan is too busy to attend to anything else."

Hearing the Empress's somewhat sarcastic tone, Han Feng felt helpless.

"Your Majesty should continue to cultivate diligently, lest I surpass you in the future."

Sikong Chan's phoenix eyes narrowed.

"It seems the Prince of Zhennan is very confident!"

Han Feng smiled slightly.

"It's hard to say at the moment."

"Very well, I'll be waiting."

Sikong Chan raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Han Feng turned around and waved his hand, tearing open a crack in the space in front of him.

Goodbye, Your Majesty.

Sikong Chan watched Han Feng disappear from sight, took a deep breath, and composed herself.

I hope that when we meet again, both of our wishes will come true.

------------

Upon returning to the Starfall Pavilion, Han Feng saw Yao Chen meditating and cultivating.

"Teacher, we've gathered everything."

"So fast?"

Yao Chen opened his eyes and looked at Han Feng in disbelief.

How long has it been since?

He hasn't finished reminiscing yet!

"Let's set the date for three days from now, so the teacher can get ready."

Yao Chen nodded blankly.

The news came too suddenly, catching him off guard.

But this is a good thing!

Yao Chen took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and began to circulate his soul technique to gather spiritual energy and recuperate.

Perfect, this way he can be resurrected before Feng Xian returns, without having to face him in his soul form.

Han Feng arrived alone inside the Star Tower on the back mountain. This place connects to the stars, making it a good entrance if one wants to travel to the boundless void.

Currently, two items in Han Feng's treasure trove are related to the boundless void.

Both are the same mysterious golden pages obtained from the royal treasury of Gama, and both are the star coordinates revealed on the tortoise shell.

Han Feng wasn't strong enough to explore the void back then, but now that he's broken through to the Dou Zun level, he has the ability to explore.

The mysterious golden pages were incredibly sturdy; even now, Han Feng couldn't destroy them, indicating that the treasure behind them was left behind by a powerful being at least at the semi-saint level.

The coordinates of the Xuanwu tortoise shell may also hold another aspect of Xuanwu's heritage.

Both items are extremely valuable, and when he has time, Han Feng plans to go to the boundless void to search for treasures.

If we find something good, it would be an extra bonus.

Inside the Star Tower, Han Feng took out various medicinal herbs and began refining the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill.

According to the recipe, the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill is a peak-grade seventh-rank pill with the potential to reach the eighth rank.

In other words, as long as one's alchemy skills are sufficient, it is possible to refine this seventh-grade pill into an eighth-grade one.

Han Feng had already accomplished this feat when he refined this pill for Yaotian Fire.

Now, Han Feng is even more adept at refining this pill.

The Starfall Pavilion was isolated by a star array, making it difficult to detect the heavenly lightning. Therefore, under Han Feng's control, it did not cause much disturbance inside the Starfall Pavilion. He released the Heavenly Demon Puppet in advance, and once lightning accumulated in the sky outside the array, he absorbed it forcefully.

Finally, the Seven-Colored Thunder-Quality Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill was officially produced.

Not all pills can be refined to the nine-colored pill lightning. The fact that the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill can achieve the seven-colored pill lightning quality is already extremely rare, even unbelievable.

Outside the star array, several celestial demon puppets unceremoniously divided up the heavenly lightning, swallowing it whole and enjoying a hearty meal.

However, they did not return immediately, but instead focused their attention on the clouds again.

Inside the Star Tower, after the Myriad Beasts Cauldron was quickly cleansed by the Sea Heart Flame, the process of refining the second pill began.

This second pill is for providing energy.

It is called "Heaven and Earth Concealing Qi Elixir".

These are pills that Han Feng planned to keep as a backup plan.

If Yao Chen is resurrected and needs insufficient energy from heaven and earth to advance, this pill can replenish that energy.

The principle is simple: to compress a large amount of energy into this pill.

In terms of grade, it belongs to the middle level of the eighth grade pill, but its potential is comparable to the peak of the eighth grade.

Because alchemists have different skills and can compress different amounts of energy from heaven and earth, the effects of the "Heaven and Earth Qi-Storing Pill" they refine can vary greatly.

Some can replenish the energy of a nine-star Dou Zun, while others can only replenish the energy of a three-star Dou Zun.

The difference is obvious.

Outside the Starry Sky Array, the Heavenly Demon Puppets, seeing the lightning constantly accumulating in the thunderclouds, rushed forward one after another.

They formed a unique attack formation and stood above the Star Tower.

This time, even with the great array separating them, the disciples inside the Starfall Pavilion still felt the energy fluctuations.

They all came to the open space to observe the energy storm above the Star Tower on the back mountain.

Yao Chen stopped his cultivation, stepped out of the room, and looked up at the sky.

"With such power, you've actually managed to refine pills with nine-colored lightning?"

Yao Chen let out a deep sigh.

It seems he has nothing left to teach this apprentice.

What's strange is how Han Feng managed to reach his current level in just a few decades without any personal guidance.

Is someone else teaching him?

Yao Chen couldn't help but wonder.

He couldn't help but doubt that without the guidance of a renowned teacher, his cultivation level might be acceptable, but his alchemy skills would absolutely not have made such great progress.

Yao Chen always felt that Han Feng was shrouded in a thin mist, making him impossible to see through.

A moment later, the thunderclouds dissipated, and the golden light on the Heavenly Demon Puppet became even more dazzling.

Han Feng emerged from the Star Tower and retrieved the seven Heavenly Demon Puppets.
