Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Sun Yu quickly said, "I can recommend you to the headquarters. As long as you reveal your identity as an alchemist, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain top-grade Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals."

"Headquarters?"

Han Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble Elder Sun."

Going directly to headquarters to request the treasure might be a bit impolite, but having a letter of recommendation will make things much smoother.

Burning Flame Valley is an old and established power with a long history. It has even produced a top expert at the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng, and was a close friend of Xiao Xuan, the patriarch of the Xiao Clan.

Even though it has fallen from grace, its foundation is still not to be underestimated.

"Actually, a major event has recently occurred in the valley. I cannot disclose the details here, but since you are an alchemist, you will surely be able to alleviate the Valley Master's worries."

Sun Yu immediately wrote the letter of recommendation and explained the top-grade Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal that Han Feng was asking for.

Han Feng took the letter, took out the Rank 8 Three-Colored Thunder Pill, and placed it in front of Sun Yu.

"Your Excellency, this is not appropriate!"

Sun Yu quickly declined.

He merely made a tactful recommendation, and this matter even benefited him.

Accepting Han Feng's gifts now would be rather unseemly.

"Elder Sun, don't overthink it. Although I want top-grade Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals, even if this trip doesn't go smoothly, getting high-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals won't be a wasted trip."

"I wonder if this Rank 8 pill can be exchanged for Elder Sun's superior Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal?"

Sun Yu was deeply moved.

In the instant he hesitated, he had already revealed that he possessed a high-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal.

Realizing this, Sun Yu sighed.

"Alright, but please don't tell anyone, Venerable One."

Han Feng smiled and nodded.

How could a chief steward guarding a region not have any inventory on hand?

A moment later, Sun Yu walked into the room carrying a large box.

Upon opening, a dazzling red light instantly emanated, and a rich fire-attribute aura surged outwards.

This contains top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals!

Han Feng's eyes gleamed, and after examining it carefully for a while, he nodded.

"make a deal."

He reached out and tucked the box of top-grade Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals into his sleeve.

Such spiritual objects of heaven and earth are so rich in spiritual energy that they cannot be contained in a storage ring, so they can only be stored in their own external space.

Sun Yu was filled with respect upon seeing Han Feng's skill in concealing objects within his sleeve.

Is this the Dou Zun's control over spatial power?

Someone of his stature as a Dou Zong would never dare to do such a thing; a slight misstep could result in the loss of precious treasures in the endless void.

After the deal was completed, Han Feng did not linger. With a single step, he flew away from the West Fire River.

Sun Yu stood at the gate and waved goodbye to Han Feng warmly.

This Venerable One was truly his lucky star. Not only did he obtain an eighth-grade pill that he had never dared to dream of before, but if things were resolved smoothly at headquarters, he would definitely be rewarded again.

It's a pity that such a large piece of high-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal was wasted. Although it was only of superior grade, it was huge, almost comparable to two or three other high-quality spirit crystals.

However, one should not be greedy. The elixir of the eighth grade, three-colored Dan Lei is not something that just anyone can obtain.

Sun Yu smiled, turned around, and went back into the ancient building.

On the other side, Han Feng smiled.

This time, I actually made a profit.

If you look closely at the top-grade Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal that you just acquired, you'll find that a wisp of Spirit Flame Marrow has already been born inside it.

The birth of Spirit Flame Marrow is the mark of advancing to the highest grade.

However, since the number produced is still very small, Han Feng would probably not have been able to detect it if he did not have a deep understanding of the laws of fire.

In other words, this large piece of "superior" Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal has already stepped into the ranks of top-grade.

Chapter 194 Backlash of the Strange Fire

Burning Flame Valley is located deep within the Blazing Fire Mountains.

For miles around, the land was covered in red earth, and the scorching heat waves turned the sky fiery red.

From a distance, it looks like a fiery mountain that never dies.

The rich fire elemental aura has transformed this place into a paradise for fire elemental cultivators.

Some independent cultivators with fire attributes come here to cultivate after obtaining permission.

Han Feng stepped into the void, his body flying over the Blazing Fire Mountain Range like a blur.

Wherever it passed, lava erupted, forming pillars of fire in the air, as if welcoming their king.

Han Feng stopped steadily at the entrance of the spatial barrier of Burning Flame Valley and took out the letter that Sun Yu had given him.

Ripples spread out in circles, forming a barrier strong enough to defend against attacks from Dou Zun level experts.

A moment later, a series of whooshing sounds came from inside the barrier.

"Sir, what brings you to my Burning Flame Valley?"

The long, drawn-out sound traveled through the barrier and reached the outside world.

"Elder Sun Yu recommended me to Burning Flame Valley. This is his letter."

Han Feng said.

After a brief silence, the letter was swallowed up by the space. The person inside the barrier glanced through it and seemed to spend some time confirming the hidden markings in the letter.

After confirming that everything was correct, a man walked out of the barrier.

He looked Han Feng up and down, then clasped his hands in a respectful bow: "Senior, please!"

Beyond the spatial barrier lies a lush, green world, a stark contrast to the raging, scorching volcano outside.

It's a world unto itself, truly worthy of being the legacy of the Battle Saint.

The man gestured, indicating that there was a cobblestone street ahead.

"Senior, I will take you to see the Valley Master now."

Elder Sun's letter had already explained Han Feng's purpose, and the man also learned that Han Feng was a powerful alchemist.

The letter also contained some encrypted information that only high-ranking elders could access, but the information revealed was enough to demonstrate that Han Feng's identity was extraordinary.

After crossing the stone bridge, some disciples of the Burning Flame Valley came into Han Feng's view.

Dressed in identical training uniforms, they stood in neat rows, squatting in horse stance, warming their muscles and bones in the morning sunlight.

The disciples on the outer perimeter are mostly of low cultivation level and very young, and they are the future hope of Burning Flame Valley.

They will go through layers of selection to choose the most outstanding talents to enter the inner hall of Burning Flame Valley for further study.

Looking at this group of energetic young men and women, Han Feng thought of Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin's cultivation in the past.

I wonder how they are now.

"Senior, this way."

The man led the way.

Since the other party was not a Dou Wang level expert, but just a patrolling disciple, they could not quickly take Han Feng to the inner hall.

The man led Han Feng to a brightly decorated building and knocked on the door.

"Who!"

A burly, curly-haired man walked out of the door. He was strong and broad-shouldered, clearly the kind of cultivator suited for close combat.

"Steward Tang, this is an alchemist recommended by Elder Sun Yu. Please take him to the inner hall."

"Alchemist?"

Tang Lei looked Han Feng over carefully, then nodded and said, "I'll lead the way. You can go and attend to other matters."

The man bowed respectfully to the two of them, then his figure flashed, leaping to the treetop and disappearing into the distance, stepping on the leaves.

Tang Lei glanced at Sun Yu's letter briefly, and when he saw a certain title on the letter, he was suddenly startled.

"So it was Grandmaster Han!"

In his letter, Sun Yu not only used respectful language but also praised Han Feng highly.

If Tang Lei hadn't known that this old man wasn't one to exaggerate, he really wouldn't have believed that this rather young-looking man was actually a master alchemist!

In the world of alchemy, those at the seventh rank are called masters, and those at the eighth rank are called grandmasters.

Sun Yu's address in the letter indirectly revealed the level of Han Feng's alchemy skills.

Han Feng nodded slightly, as a response to the steward surnamed Tang.

Tang Lei's cultivation level was not high, only at the level of a four-star Dou Huang.

Compared to Han Feng, a master alchemist, they were nothing but small fry.

Tang Lei dared not be negligent. He clasped his hands in a salute to Han Feng, then spread his red battle aura wings and flew into the air.

Without his prompting, Han Feng instantly stepped into the void and stood behind him.

This terrifying speed sent another shock through Tang Lei's heart.

To be honest, having such a powerful and oppressive figure standing behind him, even though Han Feng had completely concealed his aura, still put immense pressure on Tang Lei due to the difference in their life levels.

Without saying much, Tang Lei activated his highest speed setting and headed towards the inner hall.

Han Feng followed behind him with ease, as if they were taking a stroll.

After flying for about two hours, the two finally arrived at the center of this hidden world.

Burning Flame Valley!

This valley doesn't refer to power or influence, but rather to a real mountain valley.

The towering palace was built from the valley, its roof piercing through the clouds and connecting to the fiery energy of the blazing mountains outside.

This unique construction method was unconventional and ingenious, and it caught Han Feng's eye.

The food in Burning Flame Valley is quite good.

Due to the full-speed flight, Tang Lei was a little out of breath. He glanced at Han Feng, who looked perfectly fine and even had the leisure to appreciate the scenery and architecture, and then silently looked away.

Next time, never be so stubborn. When leading the way for the strong, go as slowly as possible.

No matter how fast he is, in the eyes of powerful beings, he is still as slow as a tortoise.

Upon arriving at the main hall of Burning Flame Valley, Tang Lei took the opportunity to adjust his breathing while walking and introduced the place to Han Feng: "Master Han, this is the core of my Burning Flame Valley. The Valley Master is inside now. Please follow me."

The burly man spoke with utmost respect, creating a strange and unexpected contrast.

Tang Lei walked ahead, his huge footprints shaking the ground and creating a small crater.

Suddenly, a white figure descended from above and arrived in front of Tang Lei.

"Tang Lei, what brings you here?"

Tang Yin glanced at this rather unusual clansman and asked.

“I’ve come to see the clan chief.”

They were all surnamed Tang, and Tang Zhen was both the valley master and the clan leader to them.

"The clan chief is receiving distinguished guests. Please wait a moment."

Tang Yin said, while glancing at Han Feng beside Tang Lei.

"And this is..."

"I was just about to tell you."
