Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Elder Qing asked.

"Very good, rich in spiritual energy, it is already comparable to a first-class blessed land."

Han Feng nodded.

Elder Qing smiled gently: "Mr. Han Feng, you flatter me. This place is still somewhat inferior to a first-class blessed land."

A first-class blessed land can only be reached at the level of the Nine Netherworlds and Yellow Springs. Although the Flower Sect has a profound foundation, it has never produced a true Battle Saint.

"Mr. Han Feng is Yao Chen's disciple, so his alchemy skills must be quite good, right?"

"It's ok."

Han Feng said modestly.

"Mr. Han Feng, take a look at this secret realm and see if there are any precious medicines you can take. If you like them, feel free to take them."

"Wouldn't this... be a bit inappropriate?"

Han Feng hesitated.

"Mr. Han Feng, do you perhaps look down on the medicinal herbs cultivated by my Flower Sect?"

"No, it's just that Elder Qing's generosity makes me feel flattered."

Elder Qing nodded: "I was too hasty. Actually, I sought out Mr. Han Feng because I have a favor to ask."

"Please say."

"As you can see, I am now only a spirit body."

"what?!"

Before Han Feng could speak, Hua Yu and Ye Qingyun exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Qingyun's cultivation level was not high enough to see her teacher's situation. Although Hua Yu was at the peak of Dou Zun, she was still lacking in the ability to see through the clone of the Azure Wood Longevity Body.

"The spiritual clone condensed by the Green Wood Longevity Body is enough to fool the eye."

Han Feng said, "However, Elder Qing's clone is now stable, which means that his main body is also fine."

Elder Qing nodded.

"My main body is indeed unharmed, but I am trapped in a strange maze. If I hadn't used the spirits of plants and trees to create an avatar beforehand, I probably wouldn't have been able to send out any messages."

"Teacher, where...where did you encounter danger?"

Ye Qingyun asked anxiously.

She knew that her teacher rarely left the sect. This trip was mainly to find precious medicines for her to advance her cultivation, but she never expected such a mistake to happen.

"I've explored the Enchanted Forest in the Western Regions of Central Plains many times before without incident, but this time I've encountered a maze that even I find difficult to solve."

Elder Qing looked at Han Feng.

"After hearing the news, my sister went to the Enchanted Forest to solve the maze problem, but there's been no news for several days. I'm worried that she might also..."

Even Elder Hua...

Hua Yu's expression changed drastically.

Unexpectedly, the two most powerful warriors of the Flower Sect have met with misfortune one after another, and I, as the sect leader, only found out now.

"Hua Yu, telling you this will only cause you more trouble. Although the secret realm is strange, the main body is not in any danger, but we just can't find a way out yet."

Elder Qing shook his head: "You've already dragged my sister down. If you get caught in the maze as well, the Flower Sect will be in real danger."

Han Feng then spoke up: "Most mazes have a key point. To get out of the maze, you either need to remove the key point, and the maze will break on its own, or you need to wait for the maze's energy to run out and for the weather and terrain to change, and the maze will also break. But given the special environment of the Enchanted Forest, it probably won't change for several years."

"I'll go take a look."

Chapter 281 Nine-Leaf Heavenly Fruit

Due to the unexpected events involving the two immortals of Qinghua, Han Feng quickly left the Flower Sect.

Because of her responsibility to guard the sect, Hua Yu did not leave with Han Feng, but stayed in the sect with Lin Xian'er and the others.

Han Feng and Elder Qing's clones walked on the road leading to the Enchanted Forest.

"Does Elder Qing not know any array masters?"

Han Feng asked.

Each profession has its own expertise; the best way to solve this kind of maze problem is to find a master of formations.

Elder Qing said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, I am a grandmaster of formations..."

"what?"

Han Feng looked at the other person in surprise.

Elder Qing turned his head away and sighed softly in his heart.

It's truly shameful to talk about a grandmaster of formations being trapped in a maze!

If it weren't for the fact that Han Feng happened to be at the Flower Sect this time, she would have wanted to delay it further.

Perhaps the original entity has a solution.

"Alright, it seems we'll have to resort to brute force this time."

Han Feng said.

When a master of formations solves a problem, he definitely considers it comprehensively from the perspective of formations.

Han Feng was not particularly outstanding in the art of formations. When he was looking for the loopholes in the Soul Devouring Life Formation, he had to specifically consult a grandmaster of formations from the Hidden Sect.

Although Wang Shu, the master of the Hidden Sect, is only a half-saint, his skill in array formations is definitely superior to Elder Qing's.

"Actually, the reason I entered the Enchanted Forest this time is because I discovered the spiritual energy for the maturation of high-grade medicinal herbs there."

Elder Qing then revealed this.

The Azure Wood Longevity Body is more sensitive to spiritual opportunities in this area than others. This is an advantage of its physique and has nothing to do with its soul cultivation. It is more like an intuition, similar to how auspicious beasts sense treasures.

"According to my estimation, it is at least a top-grade eighth-rank precious medicine, and may even have reached the ninth rank. It's a pity that it was concealed by the illusion array, making it impossible to accurately detect."

Elder Qing said, "Originally, I planned to go in and collect the precious herbs before coming out, but I underestimated the power of the maze."

After listening patiently to Elder Qing's account, Han Feng smiled and said, "It seems that I have even more motivation to break the formation this time."

Elder Qing smiled and said, "If Mr. Han Feng successfully breaks the formation, I can also give you the ninth-grade treasure medicine in my Flower Sect's secret realm."

"Elder Qing, you may not understand the allure of ninth-grade medicinal herbs to alchemists like us. If you keep saying that, I might actually take it seriously."

Han Feng joked.

Elder Qing said, "I'm not joking with Mr. Han Feng. If Mr. Han Feng is willing, we can have a long-term deal with the Flower Sect in the future. The Flower Sect will provide top-quality spiritual herbs, and you can refine the pills."

"Has the Flower Sect not yet reached any relevant deals with other forces?"

Han Feng asked.

Logically speaking, a faction like the Flower Sect, which specializes in cultivating spiritual plants, should have related transactions.

"Of course we have them, but they are all mediocre. We only bring out some rank-eight medicinal herbs when we trade with the Dan Tower."

Elder Qing said, "As for the ninth grade, there has never been a transaction before."

Grade 9 precious medicines are extremely valuable foundational materials for any power; they would be reluctant to use them even for their own purposes, let alone trade them.

Even in the Pill Tower, only the very top group of people can refine ninth-grade pills.

However, there is also a medicinal garden secret realm inside the Pill Tower, where the concentration of spiritual energy is definitely no lower than that of the Flower Sect secret realm.

Han Feng suddenly remembered a small blessed land he had discovered below the Southern Great Rift Valley years ago, which he had named "Medicine Saint Valley".

Over the years, many top-quality medicinal herbs must have grown there.

"The Enchanted Forest is just ahead."

Elder Qing suddenly spoke up at this moment.

Han Feng saw a thick fog shrouding the vast forest in the distance, a fog that even his soul power could not penetrate.

It's somewhat similar to the mist that once filled the Great Rift Valley; both are strange entities capable of suppressing soul power.

Han Feng and Elder Qing stopped at the edge of the mist, observing the surrounding situation.

This kind of formation might have been set up on the outer perimeter.

However, after looking around, Han Feng didn't find anything amiss.

Elder Qing tried to sense the true form within the maze, but he failed without a doubt.

Han Feng casually summoned a puppet and sent it into the mist to explore.

However, not long after the puppet entered the maze, its connection with Han Feng was severed.

Han Feng conjured a fighting spirit arm, extended it from the mist, and pulled the puppet out.

"This formation is indeed quite ingenious; it seems to be specifically designed to isolate soul power."

The effects of formations are amazing; some can suppress battle qi, some can suppress the soul, and some can refine flesh and blood.

However, even the most powerful formation can only affect the creatures within it.

Han Feng raised his hand, and a vast amount of energy began to surge in the sky.

"Underworld Palm!"

boom!

A gigantic palm print descended from the sky, freezing the surrounding air into ice wherever it passed.

The palm print remained outside the mist, not actually landing for fear of accidentally harming the creatures inside.

The power of the Yellow Springs Palm eroded the mist, freezing it into ice.

Although this mist can isolate the soul, its defensive effect against battle qi is not that strong.

As the ice layer continued to spread, Han Feng struck down with another palm.

"Mysterious Yellow Heaven-Suppressing Palm!"

boom!

The second palm strike shattered all the frozen ice.

However, the next moment, the surrounding mist quickly spread over, filling the broken gap.

Han Feng and Elder Qing were not discouraged by what they saw.

"The maze has the ability to self-repair, but its energy has clearly diminished."

Both of them noticed this characteristic of the maze.

"Elder Qing's true form inside the maze should have sensed our attack from the outside."

Elder Qing nodded, but asked with a puzzled look, "My sister should have discovered this pattern as well. Given her composure, she wouldn't rashly enter the formation without knowing its rules, yet she's not here now..."

No sooner had they finished speaking than several white misty hands suddenly emerged from the maze and launched an attack on the two of them without warning.

The speed was so fast that Elder Qing didn't even have time to react.

Just as she was about to be grabbed by the mist hand, Han Feng placed his hand on her shoulder in advance.

A flash of yellow light appeared beneath Han Feng's feet, and his figure vanished abruptly, only to reappear several miles away.

Outside the maze, the Mist Hand lost its target, circled rapidly around a few times, and then retreated.

"I didn't expect the maze to attack on its own. It seems that Elder Hua was dragged into the maze by this move."

Han Feng just said that the formation wouldn't affect the creatures outside, but he's been proven wrong so quickly.

"What should we do now?"

Elder Qing said with concern.

"Ok?"

Han Feng looked at the worried Elder Qing and smiled, "Don't worry, I was just testing him out, and now I have a general idea."

An array capable of trapping a half-saint is quite precious, and Han Feng would feel it would be a pity to forcibly break it.

Han Feng returned to the formation. The mist stirred, as if it had identified the culprit that had attacked it earlier and was preparing to strike again.
