Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Yao Chen subtly gave Xiao Yan a wink, signaling him to make a quick getaway.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he understood immediately.

"Teacher, I suddenly remembered something, I'll go find Senior Sister Qingluan first."

Yao Chen waved his hand.

"Go ahead, go ahead, and be safe."

Xiao Yan immediately slipped away, disappearing from the street in a few seconds.

Xuan Yi watched the subtle actions of the master and disciple without exposing them, simply observing silently.

"How have you been lately?"

Yao Chen asked somewhat awkwardly.

Xuan Yi slowly spoke: "Let's leave it at that. What about you?"

"I'm doing alright too."

Yao Chen replied, and then the two fell silent again.

Xuan Yi said somewhat irritably, "So many years have passed, and you're still the same as you were back then!"

Yao Chen smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

Although Xuan Yi and Yao Chen had a special relationship and had indeed spent some time together, it was always Xuan Yi who took the initiative and Yao Chen who was passive.

Yao Chen's only initiative was when he refused to become a Daoist couple with Xuan Yi.

"Where is your other apprentice? He didn't come?"

"He asked in black robes."

She remembered clearly that Yao Chen had rejected her while holding a doll.

And that doll's name is Han Feng.

"Feng'er is still outside. This time... he should be able to come soon."

"That's what Yao Chen said."

Han Feng needs a different kind of fire to cultivate the "Burning Technique", and the most attractive part of this Pill Gathering is the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

He will definitely come to participate.

Yao Chen thought to himself.

"Oh? Then I'd like to see what your precious disciple is like now!"

"It's black," said the man in black.

Xuan Yi had always held a grudge against Yao Chen for refusing to raise Han Feng.

Out of pride as a woman, she would not ask Yao Chen again whether they should become Daoist partners, but this knot must be untied!

At least we need to see what kind of person Yao Chen's precious disciple is now, to see if he's worth all the effort he's put into him.

Yao Chen smiled upon hearing this, feeling a mix of emotions.

If Feng'er hasn't changed, then Xuan Yi's words are a mockery of my poor judgment of character.

Thank goodness...

Feng'er is not only filial now, but her strength and achievements are also superior to mine.

The student surpasses the master; this disciple is truly remarkable!

The two chatted for a while longer. Xuan Yi is now one of the three giants of the Pill Tower, a super strong person at the peak of Dou Zun level.

Although he hasn't broken through to the Half-Saint level, his status as a giant of the Pill Tower is no less than that of some Half-Saint powerhouses.

Xuan Yi said that if Yao Chen had joined the Pill Tower back then, he might be a highly powerful elder in the Little Pill Tower today.

Yao Chen briefly and vaguely described his past, summarizing his disappearance as being severely injured by the Soul Palace and returning only after recovering.

"Okay, that's it for today."

Xuan Yi took the initiative to end the conversation for the day.

“Xuan Kongzi knows you’re here, but he’s quite busy today and might not come to see you until tomorrow.”

Yao Chen nodded.

Xuan Kongzi was also his former friend, and is now the leader of the three giants.

"No rush, I'm already here, we'll meet eventually."

Yao Chen smiled.

Xuan Yi suddenly turned to look at him, her eyes filled with a captivating expression.

Yao Chen's expression froze instantly; he wasn't used to dealing with this kind of thing.

Xuan Yi didn't say anything, but gave Yao Chen a deep look before turning and leaving.

"gone."

After confirming that Yao Chen no longer had those feelings for her, Xuan Yi stopped pursuing him.

Yao Chen watched her leave, his hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenching slightly.

To be honest, it would be impossible for him to have no feelings for Xuan Yi at all, otherwise he wouldn't have shown such an awkward expression.

However, Yao Chen knew very well that he could not give Xuan Yi the life she wanted.

Whether it was the Medicine Venerable who loved to travel the world back then, or the Medicine Saint who now bears important responsibilities.

Some things are destined to be met but not to be together.

Meanwhile, Han Feng had already arrived in the Dan Domain.

The Pill Gathering is about to begin, and along the way, you can see many alchemists from all over the continent, hurrying towards the Pill Tower, wanting to participate in this grand gathering in the Central Plains that happens once every thirty years.

Lin Xian'er followed Han Feng and marveled at the sight of a long dragon stretching across the sky.

"As expected of the Central Plains Pill Domain, this place is truly different!"

Han Feng said, "We don't usually see scenes like this. It's only because the Pill Gathering is being held that so many people come."

The master and apprentice arrived at the main gate of Saint Dan City first, and after registering, entered the outer city.

Many people had already arrived in the outer city, and the streets were bustling with vendors of all sizes. Lin Xian'er browsed a few stalls and bought some pretty jewelry.

Afterwards, the two chose a restaurant for lunch. The special elixir dishes of Saint Pill City did not focus on the effects of Qi refining, but were purely for the sake of deliciousness. They extracted the flavors of various delicious fruits and vegetables and refined them into elixirs.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these pills and delicacies have no practical use in cultivation; they are extremely popular within the Pill Domain.

Sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, Han Feng ate while watching the passersby. Suddenly, his gaze settled on a pair of sisters.

The person who caught Han Feng's attention was naturally an old acquaintance.

These two sisters are the two daughters of the Chen family in Beimang City.

The elder sister is Chen Yunshu, and the younger sister is Chen Xiaoyu.

Judging from the changes in the two, Chen Yunshu had already cultivated to the six-star Dou Zong realm. While she was not strong enough to establish her own sect, she was more than capable of suppressing Beimang City.

Back when she advanced to the Dou Zong level, she had Han Feng's help. Now that she has grown to the point where she can stand on her own, it can be considered that she has lived up to the kindness he showed her back then.

My younger sister, Chen Xiaoyu, had previously sought to become Han Feng's apprentice at Canaan Academy, but was politely refused for some reason. Later, she went to the Pill Tower to study. Judging from her clothes and the badge hanging on her chest, she is now a seventh-grade beginner alchemist.

This girl's talent is indeed remarkable. A seventh-grade alchemist is not someone you can just find out easily. If she were in the Black Corner Region of yesteryear, she would have been called the chief alchemist.

I didn't see Elder Huo from Canaan Academy. He's dedicated his whole life to his studies, but he's only at the peak of the fifth rank.

In the Northwest Continent, a seventh-grade alchemist holds considerable influence.

Seeing the two women strolling together, Han Feng smiled gently and did not disturb them.

Everyone's destiny is different. Although I have crossed paths with them before, there is no need to disturb them too much. Seeing that they are living the life I once longed for is enough.

After having lunch with Lin Xian'er, Han Feng went to find Yao Chen and Xiao Yan.

He had sensed the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame earlier, which meant that his teacher and junior brother were already in Saint Pill City.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was attending a trade fair with Mu Qingluan.

Mu Qingluan walked confidently ahead, while Xiao Yan followed behind like a younger brother.

After Qingluan woke up last time, she learned that Xiao Yan had become the champion of the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament. She chased after him and beat him for three days and three nights, forcibly honing Xiao Yan's movement and fighting skills to a new level.

From then on, Xiao Yan behaved himself.

She no longer calls her "Junior Sister" but instead addresses her as "Senior Sister Qingluan".

Mu Qingluan was satisfied with Xiao Yan's sensible attitude, so she stopped threatening him.

"Hey senior sister, there's nothing much to see here. Let's go outside for some fresh air."

Xiao Yan said.

"If you can't stand it, go outside yourself. I'll take another look."

Mu Qingluan's eyes never left the exquisite clothes in front of her.

She likes these things, and because of changes in her figure, she no longer needs her old clothes, so she has to buy new ones.

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.

He came to attend the Dan conference, not to go shopping!

Chapter 330 The Five Great Families

"teacher."

Han Feng saw Yao Chen taking a walk on the street and led Lin Xian'er up to him and called out to him.

"Master."

Yao Chen smiled and nodded when he saw his disciples and grand-disciples.

"You are here."

Han Feng followed Yao Chen, while Lin Xian'er followed Han Feng, and the three of them continued walking slowly.

"I just saw a lot of familiar faces."

Yao Chen said slowly.

"There are quite a few old monsters attending the Dan Conference this time. Sigh, this was originally a stage for young people."

"The strange fire is captivating, and with such an opportunity so close at hand, everyone naturally wants to try it out."

Han Feng said.

Even with numerous people dispatched, his search for the Strange Flame remained fruitless after several years. The birth of a Strange Flame depends on fate; if you can't find it, you simply can't find it.

Now that the Pill Tower has publicly announced that those who enter the top ten of the Pill Gathering will have the opportunity to refine the Three Thousand Burning Flames, it is equivalent to confirming the location of the Strange Flame.

If it weren't for the deep foundation and numerous experts of the Pill Tower, many people would probably have tried to snatch it.

"Haha, yeah, but those old guys are probably going to go home empty-handed this time."

Yao Chen smiled.

"With Feng'er on the field, neither the Pill Gathering Championship nor the Three Thousand Burning Flames should be a problem, right?"

Han Feng smiled modestly.

"The strange fire is a naturally occurring spiritual object. How to subdue it requires personal experience. It's too early to say now, and it's not permissible."

The Three Thousand Burning Flames is, after all, the ninth-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking, which is one place higher than the Nine Nether Wind Flame in Han Feng's hands.

The higher the level of the strange fire, the more difficult it is to subdue.

Moreover, there are Dou Sheng experts within the Pill Tower. If they could subdue them themselves, they would certainly consume them internally, without needing all the alchemists in the world to try.

There must be some difficulties that need to be addressed.

Yao Chen nodded upon hearing this.

Back then, he searched for nearly ten years before he subdued the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

If you have even the slightest thought of giving up during this time, you may never be able to meet the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
