Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"Elder Gulin said that you must now strictly cultivate the method of nourishing your origin, and you cannot be lazy!"

Gu Yuan coughed lightly and said in a deliberately low voice, "I know what I'm doing!"

Now, major and minor affairs within the ancient clan are gradually being handed over to Gu Xun'er, the young clan leader, indicating a plan to hand over power.

Gu Xun'er has indeed done very well in the past few months and has been praised by many elders.

When he gets involved in matters, he exudes a stern aura that even Gu Yuan, the old father, finds unbearable.

Seeing his daughter's stern gaze, Gu Yuan lowered his eyes without showing any emotion, and after a long while, he gave in.

"Alright, alright, it was my fault, I'll start practicing now, I'll start practicing now!"

A dignified peak nine-star Dou Sheng expert is now being supervised in his cultivation by his own daughter?

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, "I'm really hurt; I feel uncomfortable with everything."

However, he knew that his daughter was doing this for his own good.

Gu Lin is a grandmaster of alchemy in the ancient clan and is also proficient in medicine. The treatment methods he devised are definitely the best that the ancient clan can currently provide.

Gu Xun'er gave a few more instructions, and seeing that her father had entered meditation, she did not disturb him any further, left the place, and continued to handle clan affairs.

A moment later, Han Feng quietly arrived at this place.

Gu Yuan opened his eyes.

"You're finally here!"

"Senior Gu Yuan, did I disturb your practice?"

Gu Yuan shook his head.

"Han Feng, you've been feeling quite down lately. It's time you went to see Xun'er so she wouldn't be working day and night without getting any rest."

Gu Yuan used to worry about his daughter's marriage, but now he feels that the sooner the better, and they can't delay any longer.

Han Feng smiled gently.

"I will go see Xun'er, but the reason I came this time is to inform you about the inheritance of Emperor Tuoshe."

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Say it!"

Han Feng slowly recounted the story of the ancient emperor's cave.

Gu Yuan was greatly surprised upon hearing this. He felt regret at missing the opportunity to visit, but upon hearing Han Feng's words, a look of eagerness flashed in his eyes.

Imperial-grade embryonic elixir!

Its strength is so formidable. If I were to go there, I would probably be beaten up like the Ancient Dragon Emperor of the Void.

After a long silence, Gu Yuan sighed, "I never imagined that the legacy of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor would be like this."

Seeing Gu Yuan's eager gaze, Han Feng said directly, "I intend to give the Emperor Pill to you, senior."

"really?!"

Gu Yuan was so excited he almost jumped up.

Han Feng nodded.

"However, this matter will take some time; it will have to wait until I finish refining the finished Emperor Pill."

"Moreover, Senior Gu Yuan needed to recover from his injuries at that time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take this pill."

Gu Yuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Of course, to be honest, I am now strictly following the treatment plan of the clan doctor to recover from my injury every day, and I will recover soon."

Han Feng: ......

If I hadn't arrived early and seen Xun'er talking about you, I would have truly believed it!

"By then, I will have an important matter to discuss with my senior."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he had sensed the weight of Han Feng's words.

However, seeing that Han Feng didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any further questions.

A moment later, Han Feng left the courtyard to look for Gu Xun'er.

Gu Yuan sat in the courtyard, pondering for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed, "It was worth giving away the ancient jade!"

Unexpectedly, after readily handing over the ancient jade of the ancient clan that day, he has now inexplicably received a promise of an imperial pill.

Gu Yuan was in high spirits and began to use his internal energy to heal his injuries.

On the other side, Han Feng found Gu Xun'er in the council hall, but she was in the middle of a meeting, so Han Feng did not disturb her and waited quietly.

"Today's ceremony is now concluded. Gentlemen, the meeting may be adjourned."

The sound came from inside the hall. A moment later, one elder after another came out of the hall. Gu Xun'er stayed in the hall, seemingly to attend to some official business.

Looking at Gu Xun'er now, Han Feng felt as if he had lived through another world.

Many people matured after the great war.

Gu Xun'er carries the legacy of her ancient clan, and her future carries considerable weight.

Just like Zi Yan, both of them are unparalleled geniuses, but they also carry a mission on their shoulders.

Time passed by, and after about fifteen minutes, Gu Xun'er put down her pen and closed the scroll.

She took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, tidied her appearance, and prepared to head to the next location.

The air in the council chamber was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood. Gu Xun'er walked out quickly, her beautiful face showing a hint of weariness from dealing with numerous tasks.

Suddenly, she saw a man in white waiting outside the door.

The moment she saw Han Feng, her bright eyes lit up, all her fatigue vanished, replaced by an indescribable surprise and... a sense of relief that she had finally waited for.

"Mr. Han!"

Her voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of barely perceptible excitement, as she quickly walked up to Han Feng.

Han Feng looked at Gu Xun'er, whose temperament was becoming increasingly composed and who was beginning to exude the majesty of a clan leader, yet still revealed a touch of girlish innocence in front of him, and smiled gently: "Xun'er, I'm sorry to disturb you while you were carrying out your official duties."

"Mr. Han, you're too kind! I'm overjoyed that you've come." Gu Xun'er quickly shook her head and stepped aside to lead the way. "Please come with me to the side hall for a chat. This is not the place to talk."

The two arrived at a quiet and elegant side hall, where a maid served them tea and then quietly withdrew.

Gu Xun'er personally poured tea for Han Feng, her movements elegant, but her gaze remained fixed on Han Feng, filled with inquiry and deep gratitude: "Mr. Han, that day, it was you who made the move, wasn't it?"

Han Feng picked up his teacup, took a sip, met her gaze, and said knowingly, "Xun'er already has the answer in her heart?"

Gu Xun'er took a deep breath, stood up solemnly, and bowed deeply to Han Feng: "Back in the Ancient Realm, when space shattered and I was on the verge of death, it was you, sir, in your white robes, who unleashed the power to scorch the heavens and split the earth to save my life! I will remember this great kindness forever!"

Her voice trembled slightly, clearly recalling the perilous day and still feeling lingering fear, and deeply grateful for the person who saved her life.

Han Feng smiled gently: "There's no need for that."

"No, sir, you not only saved Xun'er, but also the entire Ancient Clan. You deserve the gratitude of the entire Ancient Clan. Today, Xun'er will express her gratitude to you on behalf of the entire clan!"

Gu Xun'er said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng no longer denied it and accepted the bow with composure.

Seeing Gu Xun'er sit down again, Han Feng continued, "Judging from your aura, your injuries are no longer a big problem, and your battle qi is even purer. It seems you have recovered quite well."

"Thanks to Mr. Han's timely intervention that day, Xun'er has recovered with the help of the clan's resources."

"There's actually another reason why I've come to see you."

Han Feng said, "When you saw me use that sword called 'Burning Silence' that day, did you feel any enlightenment?"

Gu Xun'er nodded immediately, then her eyebrows furrowed slightly, revealing a look of confusion and longing. "The 'Burning Soul' technique that Mr. Han used that day was incredibly powerful, and the fire laws it contained were profound and unpredictable, far surpassing any fire-based fighting technique I had ever encountered."

“These days, Xun’er has been thinking about this technique. Whenever she cultivates the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, she can’t help but recall and ponder it, trying to understand a thing or two from it.”

She opened her fair palm, revealing a faint, almost invisible crimson-gold pattern on her palm, like a mark left after a failed attempt to condense some kind of power, carrying a hint of scorching heat: "Unfortunately, no matter how I try, no matter how I try to simulate and deduce with my own strange fire, I can never get through it. It's like trying to see flowers through the fog or scoop the moon's reflection in the water. Every time I touch the core, I feel an overwhelming and irresistible destructive will backlash against me, which is difficult to control... I hope you can forgive my poor performance, sir."

Her tone carried a hint of frustration, but more so a longing for that powerful force and an unwavering determination not to give up.

Han Feng looked at the marks on her palm, nodded slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "It is already quite remarkable that you were able to comprehend this on your own."

"'Burning Silence' is not an ordinary fighting technique. Its essence is a divine power born from the fusion of the ultimate killing will and the original power of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. If one does not have a corresponding cultivation method as a foundation and forcibly imitates its form, not only will one fail to grasp its essence, but one will also easily suffer backlash and damage one's own origin."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er's beautiful eyes instantly shone with an astonishing light, and her heart involuntarily quickened: "What you mean, sir..."

Han Feng smiled slightly and stopped keeping him in suspense.

He flipped his hand, and an ancient scroll, neither gold nor jade, cool to the touch yet subtly exuding a fierce and murderous aura, appeared in his palm.

The scroll was silvery-white, with faint tiger-shaped stripes flowing across its surface. An ancient, majestic aura, seemingly capable of tearing the sky, slowly permeated the air, making the air in the hall seem to freeze.

"This is the Record of the White Tiger War God."

Han Feng handed the scroll to Gu Xun'er, "The 'Burning Silence' technique of that day was derived from this method. It mainly cultivates the killing energy of Geng metal, but it is also inclusive and compatible, especially suitable for those who possess extreme flames. Your Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is extremely strong and yang, burning away all things, which complements the destructive and killing intent contained in this 'White Tiger War God Record' perfectly."

Gu Xun'er held her breath, her gaze completely drawn to the ancient scroll.

She could clearly feel the vast power and profound laws contained in the scroll. It was a power that resonated wonderfully with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within her, a path that seemed to be tailor-made for her!

"Sir...this...is too valuable!"

The overwhelming surprise left her momentarily at a loss.

Such a powerful technique, its value is immeasurable, yet Han Feng wanted to pass it on to her.

"Although the cultivation technique is precious, only those with the right affinity can unleash its full power." Han Feng's expression was calm, carrying an air of transcendence. "You possess exceptional talent, unwavering resolve, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, making you the perfect candidate to cultivate this technique. Moreover..."

He looked intently at Gu Xun'er: "Although the Soul Clan has been suppressed, the hidden dangers have not been eliminated. The Dou Qi Continent is in turmoil, and the Ancient Clan needs stronger power. You also need stronger power to protect everything you want to protect. This 'White Tiger War God Record' may help you reach the true peak realm more quickly."

Protect...the pinnacle...

Gu Xun'er was deeply moved. She thought of her seriously injured father, the future of the ancient clan, and the unfathomable threat that the Soul Emperor had posed that day.

Strength is what she needs most urgently right now!

Gu Xun'er no longer hesitated and solemnly accepted the heavy scroll with both hands. The moment she held it, she seemed to hear a low roar of a tiger that shook her soul.

A chilling yet pure energy surged into her body through her fingertips, creating a wondrous resonance with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within her. The flames flickered slightly, like rain after a long drought, or a tiger sensing the scent of its own kind.

The "Burning Soul" puzzle that had troubled her for many days showed signs of loosening the moment she came into contact with the origin of the technique.

"Many thanks to Mr. Han for passing on his skills!"

Gu Xun'er bowed deeply once again, this time with even greater solemnity and piety than before.

She knew in her heart that this gift was far more significant than ordinary; it opened a door for her to the path to becoming an unparalleled powerhouse.

Han Feng accepted it calmly. After she stood up, he said, "The cultivation method is profound and cannot be mastered overnight. When you try to comprehend it on your own, you must proceed step by step, especially in the early stages. When you draw the killing energy of Geng metal into your body and let it merge and generate with the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame, the process will inevitably be accompanied by intense pain and danger. If you have any questions or encounter any bottlenecks, you can seek my help or Senior Gu Yuan's guidance at any time. Do not force yourself to break through."

"Xun'er will remember your teachings, Master!" Gu Xun'er nodded vigorously, clutching the scroll tightly to her chest as if it were a priceless treasure.

Seeing the fighting spirit and determination burning in her eyes, Han Feng knew that his goal had been achieved.

He stood up: "Alright, now that I've handed over the cultivation technique to you, I won't stay any longer. As for Senior Gu Yuan, please make sure he gets plenty of rest."

“Father…” Gu Xun’er smiled helplessly, thinking of her father’s “disobedient” manner. “Xun’er will do her best. Mr. Han, are you leaving now?”

"Yes, there are still some things to take care of." Han Feng nodded, his gaze seemingly piercing through the hall, looking towards a more distant and profound place. The refining of the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, the possible movements of the Soul Clan, and that "important matter" that needed to be discussed with Gu Yuan... all required time.

Gu Xun'er was somewhat reluctant upon hearing this, but she was now in charge of the overall situation and knew what was important and what needed to be set aside.

When faced with the prevailing trend, personal feelings sometimes have to be put on hold.

"Mr. Han, if you encounter any trouble, please be sure to tell Xun'er."

Han Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "From now on, there will be many more things I need to rely on you for."

"Therefore, cultivate diligently and never slack off."

"Yes!"

Han Feng bid farewell to Gu Xun'er and also left the Gu Clan, preparing to find a suitable place to refine the Emperor Pill.

This is no simple matter, and there's only one chance, so Han Feng must treat it with utmost care.

Chapter 501 Finished Emperor Pill

Han Feng had considered whether to accept the inheritance of Tuoshegudi first, and then refine the Emperor Pill after advancing to the Dou Di level.

However, after some initial understanding, there are still risks involved in advancing to the Dou Di level.
