Visiting Han Feng
Of course, the talk of borrowing money or buying things was just a joke.
Since prices are so high here, Mo Tang didn't plan to buy too much. He only spent less than two million Gold Coins to buy three Ink Jade Lotus to make up the missing four hundred Energy Points, and that was enough.
After resting for a night, the next day, Mo Tang and Hai Bodong went directly to a quiet Bamboo Grove in the center of Maple City to pay a visit to the Medicine Emperor.
In a secluded Bamboo Grove in a quiet bamboo grove, a man in a blue robe with a maple leaf embroidered on the back is quietly studying a Pill Recipe for medicine.
The man in the blue robe was quite handsome, with long black hair hanging down to his shoulders. His body seemed to always carry a strange medicinal fragrance, which made people feel an irresistible sense of closeness.
But what's most eye-catching is the ancient-looking medicine cauldron emblem painted on the man's chest...
Above the medicine cauldron, six strange, golden ripples undulated slightly, so bright they hurt the eyes.
Sixth-grade Alchemist Badge!
In the Jia Ma Empire, only Alchemist King Gu He possesses such a badge.
Even in the Black Corner Region, there are no more than three alchemists who can reach the sixth rank. This shows how scarce high-rank alchemists are in other regions of the continent, except for the Central Plains.
A servant hurried to the door, but dared not disturb his master, and could only wait quietly outside.
Han Feng naturally noticed all of this, put down the prescription in his hand, and asked softly, "What is it?"
Upon hearing this, the servant immediately bowed and reported through the door, "Sir, two Dou Ling have come to request medicine. They are said to be from the Jia Ma Empire."
Raising an eyebrow, Han Feng stood up.
"The Jia Ma Empire? I remember there's a Sixth-grade Alchemist in that country, isn't there? Why would they travel all the way to my Maple City?"
Although the Jia Ma Empire is not a powerful country, the name of Alchemist King Gu He, Sixth-grade Alchemist, is well-known throughout the entire Northwest Region.
Driven by curiosity, Han Feng directly ordered, "Bring the person to the Reception Hall."
The Reception Hall Han Feng mentioned was not a normal hall, but a quiet pavilion in the Bamboo Grove.
For someone like Han Feng, a luxurious and magnificent mansion would not appeal to him; rather, it is this kind of quiet and beautiful scenery that he loves most.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this is just an ordinary Bamboo Grove; it is actually heavily fortified with defenses.
Ordinary people would be attacked indiscriminately if they even approached a certain range, let alone entered the area. It can be said to be a forbidden place in the hearts of many people in Maple City.
Led by a stiff-faced, cold middle-aged man, Mo Tang and Hai Bodong arrived at a secluded lakeside pavilion.
Watching the other person disappear without uttering a word, Hai Bodong's expression turned grave. He whispered to Mo Tang, "It seems this Medicine Emperor is truly extraordinary! That middle-aged man's strength is probably even more terrifying than we imagined; he's likely a high-level Dou Ling..."
Even in a place like the Black Corner Region, a single Dou Ling is enough to support a third-rate force.
Mo Tang nodded slightly after hearing Hai Bodong's words, but he was not surprised at all.
As the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region, Han Feng's influence is beyond doubt; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to try and snatch the Heavenly Flames from the Jia Nan Academy.
Moreover, the fact that he could summon the leaders of several major forces in the Black Corner Region to lend a hand with just a word, including figures like the Golden Silver Elders, demonstrates the immense influence of this number one alchemist.
While the two were lost in their own thoughts, a gentle male voice came from behind them.
"Hehe, I've kept you both waiting."
Mo Tang and Hai Bodong turned around and immediately saw a handsome middle-aged man in a blue robe slowly approaching.
Although the other party had a gentle demeanor, in the eyes of Mo Tang and Hai Bodong, he was like a huge mystery, full of ambiguity, making it impossible to see clearly.
"What terrifying soul power!"
The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously rose and bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Medicine Emperor!"
Mo Tang's attitude was respectful, leaving no room for criticism.
Although Hai Bodong was arrogant, he didn't dare to be presumptuous at this moment, so he could only offer a greeting.
Han Feng glanced at the two people in front of him and immediately understood Mo Tang's strength.
However, upon seeing Hai Bodong, he was slightly startled.
"Huh? This is... a seal? This person was actually sealed away. Judging from his appearance, he must have been a Dou Emperor before..."
After seeing the situation of the two, Han Feng basically understood what they wanted.
After taking his seat, Mo Tang didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose, even taking out the Pill Recipe and ingredients for the Po E Dan...
Of course, along with it was a scroll as a reward for this alchemy session— the Mysterious Tier intermediate-level Dou Technique, Jade Shattering Finger!
This is Dou Technique that Mo Tang obtained from Mo Cheng. He has already inscribed it into his system and even upgraded it to the Perfection level. So this time, he used it as a reward for inviting Han Feng to take action.
Han Feng didn't look at the Pill Recipe and ingredients for the Po E Dan Pill. Instead, he looked at the Dou Technique scroll of the Jade Shattering Finger. Feeling somewhat dissatisfied, he put the items back on the table.
Upon seeing this, Hai Bodong's heart sank.
Han Feng looked at the two of them and asked with some curiosity, "As far as I know, the Jia Ma Empire also has a Sixth-grade Alchemist. Why did you travel all this way to find me?"
Seeing Han Feng's actions, Mo Tang naturally understood what he meant.
He also noticed the change in Hai Bodong's mind, but remained completely calm...
He sighed and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but this Po E Dan Medicine Emperor, although only of the sixth grade, requires Heavenly Flames to refine."
Although Master Gu He is also Sixth-grade Alchemist, he does not possess Heavenly Flames, so even he cannot refine this medicine.
Han Feng nodded. "I see, it requires Heavenly Flames..."
Before the other party could refuse, Mo Tang quickly continued, "That's right. How easy is it to find such a Heavenly Flames?"
"In the entire Jia Ma Empire, I've only ever seen one alchemist with Heavenly Flames, but he was only Fourth-grade. That's why I took Master Gu He's advice and traveled all the way to the Black Corner Region to request Your Medicine Emperor's help..."
Han Feng ignored the flattery that Mo Tang said later, and instead looked at Mo Tang with surprise, asking, "The Jia Ma Empire actually has an alchemist with Heavenly Flames?"
This is the news that truly made him take it seriously!
After all, Heavenly Flames aren't as common as cabbages. Over the years, apart from his own Sea Heart Flame and that old, immortal Bone Spirit Cold Flame, he had never seen any other Heavenly Flames.
Now that he had suddenly heard that an alchemist with Heavenly Flames had appeared in such a remote place as the Jia Ma Empire, he couldn't help but take it seriously.
