Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

These are readily available and can be used.

There are also some Dou Zun corpses that have not yet been fully refined due to material issues.

For example, the Elder Mugu, the two Soul Hall Elders who were killed, and the eighth-order magical beast from the Southern Spirit Mountain that was beaten to death by the crowd.

However, once Han Feng breaches a few of the Earthly Fiend Palaces, he can quickly gather the precious raw materials—"Soul Body"—and then refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

The essence of the soul is the most precious thing in every Earthly Fiend Hall. Han Feng does not intend to spend it on the Heavenly Demon Puppet, but the rough soul bodies extracted from the Soul Hall envoys can be used as materials for refining puppets.

The eight Dou Zun puppets are of relatively low strength. To be on the safe side, they should be paired up and attacked the Di Sha Palace with the determination to perish together. They should be able to take it down smoothly.

Since they're all just puppets anyway, it doesn't matter if they're destroyed if they can achieve their goal.

Both Elder Yao and Uncle Feng are now at the Heavenly Venerable level, with Elder Yao even reaching the Seven-Star Dou Zun level. He is fully capable of taking down an Earthly Fiend Palace by himself.

Cai'er and Medusa formed a group, leading some Dou Zong warriors, and could choose to attack a Di Sha Palace of average strength.

There is also the spirit weapon [Extreme Lion]. Under the constant nurturing of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, the spirit Jin Xi has broken through to the five-star Dou Zun realm and even awakened a special form - the Extreme Golden Lion. After awakening, its combat power is directly comparable to that of a seven-star Dou Zun.

Based on preliminary calculations, all available combat forces can take down all eight Earthly Fiend Palaces in the shortest possible time.

This doesn't even include Yao Chen and Han Feng.

If the teacher is about to break through to the demigod level, then he probably won't be able to participate in this operation.

I need to take overall control and look for opportunities to attack the Human Palace. Therefore, I cannot go too deep. I can only take care of a few Earthly Fiend Palaces during the first attack.

Once the Soul Palace reacts, the battle will become much more difficult.

Moreover, this interval won't be long. After all, the Soul Palace is the pinnacle of first-class forces in the Central Plains, and it might redeploy its defenses on the same day.

The Soul Palace is backed by the Soul Clan, whose resources are extraordinary. If the battle lines are drawn out, it will be even more disadvantageous for Han Feng.

However, Han Feng did not intend to annihilate the Soul Palace in one fell swoop.

As long as we can establish the reputation of the Soul Slaughtering Division and let the entire Central Continent know that the Soul Palace has someone to deal with it, we can start planning things step by step.

Han Feng stayed in the Snake Man Valley for about ten days. After arranging things for Cai'er, he received a message from his teacher.

The medicinal herbs have been gathered.

This is waiting for me to refine the elixir.

Han Feng bid farewell to the two women, passed through the void, and returned to the Starfall Pavilion.

"So fast?"

Yao Chen was transmitting information one second, and the next second, Han Feng appeared in front of him.

This kid's spatial abilities seem to be even better than mine.

Could it be that he had a series of extraordinary encounters during the years he disappeared?

Otherwise, how could someone so young have achieved so much?

Thinking of this, Yao Chen glanced at his old friend beside him.

Compared to Han Feng, Feng Xian has made almost no progress in cultivation.

All these years have been a waste of my life...

Fortunately, they are quite reliable in handling matters.

"Teacher, Senior Uncle, are all the medicinal herbs ready?"

Han Feng asked.

Yao Chen nodded and handed three eighth-grade medicinal herbs to Han Feng.

After inspecting the herbs and finding no problems with their quality, Han Feng said, "Then I'll begin refining the pills."

"Let's go to the back mountain; the energy of heaven and earth is more concentrated there."

Feng Xian said.

The three arrived at the back mountain, where Mu Qingluan also rushed over.

"Senior brother, I've come to watch you refine pills!"

Han Feng smiled and checked the materials needed to refine the Semi-Saint Pill one last time before setting off. Once everything was ready, he leaped into the top floor of the Star Tower.

"Heh, I'd like to see what kind of form this kid can produce."

Seeing Han Feng go up, Yao Chen chuckled and followed closely behind, but instead of entering the Star Tower, he observed from the outer layer.

Inside the Star Tower, Han Feng took out the Myriad Beasts Cauldron and first washed it with the Sea Heart Flame to moisten its body.

Wow!

Five different colored flames ignited in Han Feng's hand. Apart from the Netherworld Poison Flame, the other five different flames could be used to refine semi-saint pills.

This time, Han Feng went all out, using the Fusion Flame in the very beginning.

The temperature inside the cauldron rose rapidly. Han Feng put the base medicinal herbs into the Myriad Beasts Cauldron one by one. In no time, these herbs were transformed into energy essence, gradually filling the entire cauldron.

When the aroma filled the air, Han Feng used his soul power to crush the Frost Sticky Spirit Fruit into a spiritual liquid, which then spread out and sealed the entire surface of the cauldron.

The aroma of medicine condensed and mixed within the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, and Han Feng carried out his various operations methodically, as if everything was just right.

Yao Chen watched with growing amazement.

It's unbelievable! In just that short time, Han Feng displayed more than six different alchemy techniques, both overt and covert.

Moreover, half of them were techniques that Yao Chen had never seen before, which means that many of these techniques may have been created by Han Feng himself!

Yao Chen considered himself to be very knowledgeable in the world of alchemy, but perhaps because he had been missing for decades, he had not kept up with the times.

Little did he know that it wasn't that he couldn't keep up with the times, but rather that Han Feng himself came from a much more distant era.

Han Feng honed his alchemy skills to the point of being nearly a hundred years old in his previous life.

He practiced until his death.

"Yao Chen, why do I feel like Feng'er is more capable than you now?"

Feng Xian said from the side.

He didn't understand the intricacies of alchemy very well, but in terms of technique, Han Feng seemed to be more skilled.

Yao Chen's face twitched slightly.

"That's right, the student surpasses the teacher..."

"But you don't need to remind me next time."

Yao Chen waved his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back.

As an alchemist, how could he not realize that his apprentice had actually surpassed him?

Feng Xian: ......

"I'm just telling the truth."

Feng Xian muttered something to himself, shook his head, and continued watching Han Feng refine pills.

On the other side, Mu Qingluan spread her wings with her fighting spirit and hovered beside the tower.

"My senior brother looks so handsome when he's refining pills..."

She was thinking to herself.

Mu Qingluan looked at her chest, which seemed to have grown a little, but the enlargement was not obvious, and sighed slightly.

"If only I had met my senior brother sooner."

In this Four Directions Pavilion competition, after encountering Feng Qing'er, I'm sure I'll be teased by her again.

Time passed slowly, and by the fifth day, the surrounding environment had become completely quiet, and Han Feng's alchemy had entered a critical moment.

He formed a hand seal, and a beam of energy shot out from the Myriad Beasts Cauldron.

The disciples in the Starfall Pavilion who were not in seclusion all looked toward the surging energy of heaven and earth at the back of the mountain.

"what is that?"

"A strange phenomenon!"

"Wait, it's a lightning tribulation!"

Some sharp-eyed cultivators noticed the gradually accumulating thunderclouds.

"It's Dan Lei! Another expert has refined pills?"

Boom!

Lightning of different colors rapidly brewed.

This time, Thunder changed at an extremely fast pace.

Without giving Han Feng time to hesitate, nine different colored lightning bolts had already been gathered.

Judging from the speed at which the pill lightning condenses, the medicinal power of this pill has probably already surpassed the peak of the eighth grade and is approaching the ninth grade.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the nine-colored lightning in the sky began to rotate, undergoing further changes.

Yao Chen was shocked by what he saw.

No way, could it be...?

As if sensing something, the moment Yao Chen had this thought, he saw an extreme black lightning bolt born from the thundercloud.

"Black Thunder!"

One of the most dangerous lightning tribulations in history!

While Yao Chen was shocked, he was also instantly worried.

The symbol of the Black Demon Thunder Releasing the Ninth Grade Elixir.

Ninth grade elixir!

How did this kid become so skilled?!

In the Star Tower.

Han Feng formed hand seals, injecting profound marks into the pill.

Then, he spat a mouthful of blood onto the pill.

"Blood sacrifice!"

Han Feng's eyes turned serious, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly.

"Spiritual return!"

Boom!

In the sky, the black lightning grew an inch larger and finally settled above the Starfall Pavilion.

Feeling the terrifying power within the lightning bolt, Yao Chen and Feng Xian exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"If this lightning strikes, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Can Feng'er handle this?"

Feng Xian said with concern.

"What's the use of being anxious?"

Yao Chen replied.

"Now it's up to him."

"Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, this shouldn't be the real Black Demon Lightning!"

Yao Chen suddenly spoke.

"This should only be half a step into the ninth rank."

"I've seen real Black Demon Lightning before, and its power was at least three times stronger than this one today!"

Chapter 187 God's Ashes

The Half-Saint Pill has a miraculous effect on breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, so its grade has actually surpassed the eighth grade and can be considered as half a step into the ninth grade.
