Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

If you lack the skill, then everything depends on luck.

However, given Han Feng's demonstrated skill in refining spirits, even if he doesn't reach the eighth rank, the probability of him refining a high-grade offensive spirit item is still very high.

Han Feng accepted the molted snake skin and expressed his gratitude.

He could sense the kindness of the female elder of the Spirit Clan in front of him, and the reward was also very suitable for him.

The Azure Crane emphasizes speed, while the Blazing Sun Serpent emphasizes attack.

The combination of these two elements is well-suited to the development of the Spirit Refiner Han Feng.

Unfortunately, the female elder in front of her was unaware of Han Feng's true strength; otherwise, she would never have entertained the idea of ​​matchmaking.

Being outstanding is a good thing, but being too outstanding means you're on a completely different level. Forcing yourself to be on that level will only lead to trouble.

"Yao Han, is your purpose in participating in this Spirit Refining Conference to join the Spirit Clan?"

The female elder of the Spirit Clan quickly extended an olive branch and began to bring up the matter herself.

"I've had that idea, but it probably won't be that simple, will it?"

"It's not that simple. Achieving a top-fifty ranking in the Spirit Refining Tournament is just the most basic requirement."

The female elder of the Spirit Clan spoke slowly.

"There are two more checkpoints to go."

"The first challenge is real combat."

To join the Spirit Clan, one needs immense strength. In the Dou Qi Continent, strength is paramount; without it, you will not earn respect anywhere.

Of course, the Spirit Clan's assessment is not intended to make things difficult for outsiders. On the contrary, as long as one reaches the Dou Zong realm or above, and their daily cultivation is not achieved through taking drugs but through steady and solid self-cultivation, they will most likely be fine.

Even if you are a Dou Huang or Dou Wang, as long as you show enough potential, you can pass the test.

"Once you enter the Spirit Clan, you will need to accept a challenge from one person. You must either defeat the opponent or survive for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to pass the test."

The Spirit Clan elder chuckled softly: "With the strength you just demonstrated, Yao Han, you should have no major problems with this level."

Han Feng can refine his spirit to 80%, so his strength is definitely not weak.

"The second hurdle is the selection of personnel. Outsiders who want to join the Spirit Clan must be introduced by at least one Spirit Clan woman who does not have a Daoist partner."

This was originally the hidden purpose of the Spirit Clan's Spirit Refining Conference.

Although it is officially a selection process for talents in spirit refining techniques, the Spirit Clan also hopes to recruit such talents into their families.

The bloodline of the Spirit Clan has been severely depleted in recent years. One reason is that there are too few men in the clan, so even with a large number of offspring, it is difficult to sustain the lineage.

Furthermore, in order to ensure the excellence of their offspring, the Spirit Clan does not allow a single Spirit Clan man to be matched with too many women, so as to prevent the man from working too hard all day and causing the offspring to fall behind in terms of quality.

After all, vital energy and spirit are the foundation of a person, and even a cultivator would be unable to withstand a large amount of depletion.

Conserving energy and recharging is something many spiritual practitioners do.

"I wonder if you, Yao Han, have already chosen someone?"

When the female elder of the Spirit Clan asked this question, a subtle signal was conveyed in her eyes.

Han Feng understood immediately; it seemed this female elder of the Spirit Clan wanted to match him up with someone.

In this situation, a simple "no" answer would suffice, but Han Feng nodded.

"I would like to thank the three spirit race girls for their help in enabling me to participate in the Spirit Refining Conference."

Han Feng gave a slight bow.

"I had already made an agreement with them before, and we would meet up after the Spirit Refining Conference ends, so I have already decided on the candidate."

Upon hearing this answer, the female elder of the Spirit Clan showed a hint of regret on her face.

As expected, the industry is highly competitive, and good candidates are in high demand.

Are so many spirit race girls already taking the initiative to make advances?

"Alright then, you can just pass the first level directly."

On the stands, the three young spirit race members felt even more uneasy and worried after seeing Han Feng and the female elder of the spirit race talk for so long.

Now that the elders of the Spirit Clan have taken a liking to Yao Han, do they still have any hope?

This female elder of the Spirit Clan is a rather powerful elder in the clan, with strength reaching the high-level Dou Zun realm. The resources under her command must be much better than those of the three descendants.

The three women watched as Han Feng chatted and laughed with the other person, and their hearts sank slowly.

"Never mind, now that I think about it, Yao Han does have a better option."

At this moment, Lingluan suddenly spoke.

"Sister, what did you say?!"

The smallest spirit mandarin duck rushed on.

She didn't want Yao Han to run away. She had finally found a Daoist partner who suited her, and although she had to share him with her two older sisters, she agreed.

If Yao Han were to abandon the three women now, they would truly be left speechless with grief.

Given the status and position of the female elder of the Spirit Clan, she certainly wouldn't allow Yao Han to marry too many women at the beginning.

After all, he needed to conserve his energy and be with someone important to him, so it would be difficult for Yao Han to marry another woman before the birth of his son.

Lingluan looked at Lingyuan and said, "I say we should respect his choice. Whatever he chooses, we should accept it."

"But......"

"Alright, Lingyuan, what your sister says is right."

Psylocke expressed her opinion.

"It's Yao Han's choice to make. We didn't ask him to do anything at the beginning."

"Ok."

At the urging of her two older sisters, Lingyuan glanced longingly in Yao Han's direction before quietly leaving the venue with the two women.

Han Feng glanced at the three retreating women and smiled slightly.

"Elder, I have some things to attend to, so I must go now."

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"It is indeed a bit urgent."

Han Feng said.

"Well, I was planning to throw you a welcome banquet, but it seems I won't have the chance today."

The female elder of the Spirit Clan said with some regret.

"I wouldn't dare trouble the elder."

Han Feng replied.

"Remember to come to the spirit world with me tomorrow, and also inform your people there."

Before leaving, the female elder gave a reminder.

Han Feng clasped his hands in a salute, then quickly walked towards the exit.

Chapter 396 Spirit World

The three spirit race girls walked out of the arena. Just then, the sun was setting, and the scenery was beautiful, but when they looked up, their eyes revealed a sense of loss.

"Why did you leave early?"

At that moment, a voice came from behind the three women.

Han Feng said.

The three women turned around instantly, looked at Han Feng with a smile on his face, and blinked in surprise.

Why are you out here?

Logically, shouldn't Han Feng be at the conference now accepting the invitation from the female elder of the Spirit Clan to discuss future development?

"When I saw you leave early, I thought something had happened, so I said goodbye to the Spirit Clan elders."

The three women were somewhat incredulous.

Han Feng thus gave up the opportunity to have further conversations with the female elder of the Spirit Clan.

You should know that once you refuse, it will be very difficult to find another opportunity with such a good setting.

"The elders of the Spirit Clan said that we'll go to the Spirit Realm together tomorrow, and I heard that they need your recommendations for me."

The three spirit race girls finally smiled. If there hadn't been so many people around, they would have rushed up and hugged Han Feng tightly.

"Thank you, Yao Han!"

"Thank me for what?"

Han Feng smiled.

"I owe all of this success to the spiritual items you prepared for me; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to achieve such results."

The three women were secretly delighted. Although they knew that it was mainly because Han Feng himself was strong enough, they still couldn't help but be happy to hear him say that.

Han Feng and the three women returned to the courtyard together. When the people at the Spirit Refining Academy heard that Han Feng had won the championship, they exclaimed in amazement.

Congratulations!

One congratulation after another followed. After Han Feng politely responded to everyone, he was led into a room by the three women, shutting out the commotion from the outside world.

The staff at the academy felt that spring was coming. With Han Feng's resume, even though he only stayed here for a few days, it could still be used as a promotional tool.

The salesman who had previously recruited Han Feng was flushed and extremely excited.

"I noticed his extraordinary bearing from the start, and I never imagined he was indeed a master!"

Inside the room, the three women were busy serving Han Feng tea and water, almost to an absurd degree.

Han Feng said helplessly, "There's no need for that. Just act like usual. I'm not some big shot who needs to be served like this."

However, the three women had already regarded Han Feng as their future Daoist partner. Even if Han Feng did not choose them in the end, their actions today were enough to make them willingly do things for him.

"Can you tell me about things in the spirit world?"

Han Feng started chatting with the three women.

Having missed the Spirit Refining Conference, Han Feng lacked the opportunity to ask questions, and fearing it might arouse the three women's suspicion, he didn't inquire further.

But today he felt the time was right. He was going to the spirit world tomorrow, so asking wouldn't seem abrupt.

The three women from the Spirit Realm immediately began to tell Han Feng about the things that happened in the Spirit Realm.

The Spirit Realm is incredibly vast, and like the ancient races, it is a super-large world that forms its own space.

As descendants of the Ling race, the three women had never ventured deep into the core area. The only time they had ever visited was when they accompanied their elders to the ancestral land of the Ling race to pay homage to their ancestors.

Only those with exceptional Dou Di bloodlines are qualified to enter the core area of ​​the Spirit Clan.

Han Feng then asked about the recent situation in the Spirit Realm. The three women said that the Spirit Realm seemed to have become more strictly guarded recently, and everyone entering and leaving had to undergo five levels of verification.

It wasn't so strict before. Although there were some review restrictions, one or two times was usually enough.

Previously, when the three women entered the Spirit Realm to find high-quality spiritual items for Han Feng, they were subjected to multiple investigations, even though they were themselves members of the Spirit Race.

If it's an outsider, the screening process will probably be even more complicated.

Upon hearing this news, Han Feng's heart stirred slightly.

It seems the Eldar have encountered some trouble recently, otherwise they wouldn't have made such changes.

After learning some information, Han Feng did not delve deeper into the topic, but instead continued to ask the three women for guidance on the Spirit Refining Technique.

Although Han Feng's level of spirit refining is now above that of the three women, in terms of knowledge, the three women are probably still slightly better.

After all, they were learning the secret arts of the Spirit Clan, which included many exquisite techniques that Han Feng had never encountered before.

Before we knew it, night had fallen.

"It's getting late, I should go back."

"Let's stay here tonight. There are plenty of rooms available. Why insist on going back?"

The three women offered their enthusiastic advice, while looking at Han Feng with expectant eyes.
