Thunder Tribulation

"Master Han, the medicinal ingredients you requested have all been gathered."

Hai Bodong took out a storage ring and gently placed it on the table.

Han Feng set down his teacup in surprise and picked up the storage ring.

A sweep of Soul Power confirmed that everything was indeed there.

The Illusion Moon Spirit Vine, emitting a faint glow, was perfectly preserved within a jade box.

"That must have taken quite some effort."

Han Feng accepted the storage ring with a smile.

It had indeed taken considerable effort!

To obtain that Illusion Moon Spirit Vine, the Mite'er Family had extended its reach beyond the country. Hai Bodong had even personally served as an escort to ensure that the Rank 7 medicinal ingredient arrived at the Imperial Capital on time.

"Since Master Han has made a request, the Mite'er Family will naturally spare no effort in fulfilling it."

Hai Bodong took the opportunity to demonstrate their sincerity in cooperating.

Han Feng nodded slightly.

"Have you gathered the ingredients for the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill?"

"Yes."

Hai Bodong took out another storage ring containing the ingredients he had collected for himself.

They had mobilized a great deal of the Mite'er Family's manpower and resources. Since they had acquired even a Rank 7 medicinal ingredient within a month, a few Rank 5 medicinal ingredients were naturally no challenge.

Han Feng took the storage ring and inspected it as well before nodding. "In that case, I'll first refine the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill for Elder Hai."

So soon?

Hai Bodong quickly rose to his feet. "Master Han, please come with me. The family has a dedicated Alchemy Room."

The two arrived at the Alchemy Room area, and Hai Bodong opened a heavy Stone Gate.

The Mite'er Family's alchemists refined pills here.

However, each of them had a separate room, ensuring they would not disturb one another.

After entering a room, Han Feng took out the Myriad Beast Cauldron and spent an hour refining the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill.

He then took out the ingredients for the Spirit Guiding Pill. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to refine it now.

Opportunities for Soul Condensation did not come often.

The longer he delayed, the more likely unforeseen changes would arise.

Han Feng walked out of the room and saw Hai Bodong waiting outside. He tossed the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill into his hand.

"Your pill is ready. Take it as soon as possible."

Hai Bodong had grown accustomed to Han Feng's efficiency and clasped his fists in thanks.

"By the way, there may be quite a commotion while I refine the next pill. Will that be a problem?"

Hai Bodong immediately assured him.

"It's fine. Master Han, please refine your pill without concern. This place is far from the residential area, so it won't affect anyone there."

"Good."

Han Feng nodded and turned back into the Alchemy Room.

Having obtained the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill and seeing that Han Feng was still occupied, Hai Bodong did not wait any longer. He eagerly returned to his cultivation chamber, preparing to swallow the pill and restore his cultivation.

Due to the long-term suppression of the seal, even after breaking it, his cultivation had only recovered to the Three-star Dou Huang level. He was still a long way from his former Five-star Dou Huang strength.

Now, the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill could save him two or three years of arduous cultivation. How could he not be excited?

Meanwhile, Han Feng had already begun refining the Spirit Guiding Pill.

This refinement would take somewhat longer. Han Feng did not let his guard down in the slightest, methodically extracting the medicinal ingredients and merging the Medicinal Liquid.

Ever since his rebirth, he had never failed in alchemy, but that did not mean he was guaranteed success every time.

No matter how skilled an alchemist was, they could not be arrogant and careless while refining pills.

Fortunately, this refinement was equally flawless. After elevating the quality of the fused pill liquid to its peak, Han Feng opened his eyes, which burned with Ice-blue Flame.

"The final step—pill formation!"

Han Feng formed a hand seal. With a hum, Soul Power surged into the cauldron and enveloped the pill liquid.

The Spirit Guiding Pill guided the soul, so the final step of refining it differed somewhat.

This time, Han Feng withdrew the Heavenly Flames and formed the pill entirely with Soul Power. The manifested Soul Fire tempered the churning pill liquid until it slowly solidified, forming a snow-white spiritual pill like the moon.

Boom!

Three days passed slowly. By then, Hai Bodong had finished refining the Medicinal Power, and his cultivation had officially returned to the Five-star Dou Huang level.

However, a clap of thunder from the sky made him hastily stop his cultivation and calm his aura.

This was no ordinary heavenly lightning!

A sense of foreboding rose in Hai Bodong's heart, and he hurriedly walked out of his cultivation chamber.

At first glance, he froze in place.

Above the Mite'er Family's Alchemy Room area in the distance, thick dark clouds slowly churned, creating a scene of black clouds pressing down overhead.

Silver lightning rolled endlessly within the dark clouds, seemingly still gathering strength.

"What's going on?!"

Mitel Tengshan hurried over in a panic. Upon seeing Hai Bodong emerge from seclusion, he finally felt somewhat reassured.

"Elder Hai, Elder Hai!"

"Hm?"

Hai Bodong snapped back to his senses. Looking at the thundercloud anomaly, he did not know how to explain it.

This commotion was indeed a little too great...

"Elder Hai, what exactly is that?"

Such a major event had occurred within the Mite'er Family grounds. Though it was far from the residential area, it could not be ignored.

"It should be the disturbance caused by Master Han refining a pill."

Hai Bodong sighed.

The two exchanged a glance, and each saw astonishment in the other's eyes.

The two old men spoke in unison.

"Thunder tribulation!"

"Rank 7!"

At the Jia Ma Imperial Family, Jia Xing Tian unfolded his Dou Qi Wings and flew directly from the palace into the sky, heading for the Mite'er Family.

A few days ago, his subordinates had reported that Master Han had entered the Mite'er Family.

At that time, Jia Xing Tian had realized that the Mite'er Family might have gotten a head start and latched onto Han Feng.

Otherwise, Han Feng would not have gone directly to the Mite'er Family instead of visiting the palace first.

Originally, it would not have mattered if he waited a few more days.

But today, a thunder tribulation had suddenly appeared above the Mite'er Family. At last, he could no longer hold himself back.

Misty Cloud Sect.

At the summit of Misty Cloud Mountain, a female cultivator whose graceful figure was outlined by pale green robes slowly sheathed her sword. Her flowing black hair danced in the wind, revealing an exquisite face untouched by cosmetics.

As though sensing something, she gazed toward the foot of the mountain.

It seemed that something major had happened in the Imperial Capital.

Her Teacher had entered seclusion some days ago. Now, only she could go take a look.

Yun Yun spread her Dou Qi Wings and flew down beneath the clouds.

The Spirit Guiding Pill emerged, and the thunder tribulation began.

Han Feng grabbed the pill that was trying to flee, then stepped onto the roof.

This pill needed the tempering of a thunder tribulation to fully awaken its spirituality, but the thunder tribulation could not be allowed to destroy it.

Thus, part of it had to be blocked while part was allowed through.

A Flame Trident slowly appeared in Han Feng's left hand, while a Defense Fire Lotus slowly formed in his right.

He drove the trident into a roof beam, turning it into a Lightning Attracting Needle, then used the Defense Fire Lotus to shield his entire body.

Boom!

Heavenly lightning surged and formed a bolt of lightning several zhang thick.

By now, all the onlookers had arrived. Jia Xing Tian saw Hai Bodong appear and was too shocked to question him, only able to turn his gaze toward the descending heavenly lightning.

Yun Yun had also landed on a rooftop, watching the vast heavenly lightning from afar.

"The Mite'er Family? How could they..."

Boom!

This time, the lightning crashed down viciously, striking the Green Fire Lotus in the blink of an eye.

Everything fell silent. Dazzling white light illuminated the Imperial Capital's blue sky.

Rumble!

The delayed shockwave echoed through the heavens, deafening everyone.

Mitel Tengshan's face twitched slightly. He seemed to have already foreseen the Mite'er Family's Alchemy Room area being reduced to dust.

Yet when the white light dispersed, Han Feng stood atop the roof with his robes billowing in the wind. Everything around him remained intact. Only a pill radiating brilliant silver light stunned the onlookers with its splendor.

Spirit Guiding Pill

"It really succeeded."

Hai Bodong stood there in a daze. Master Han was not a Rank 6 Alchemist, but a Rank 7 Alchemist!

Gulp.

Mitel Tengshan swallowed so loudly that it was clearly audible. What had happened before his eyes had completely exceeded the expectations of even him, the Mite'er Family head.

A Rank 6 Alchemist could still be recruited, but a Rank 7 Alchemist... did the Mite'er Family even have the qualifications?

He could not help wondering.

Han Feng panted lightly. Within the Green Fire Lotus in his body, strands of silver lightning flickered.

The Green Lotus Core Flame truly could store the energy of heaven and earth. Even the power of the thunder tribulation had been stabilized.

At that moment, Han Feng once again understood the worth of the nineteenth-ranked Heavenly Flame.

Perhaps rankings did not represent everything.

Every Heavenly Flame possessed a unique effect.

After adjusting his breathing for a moment, Han Feng's breath returned to normal. Holding the Rank 7 Spirit Guiding Pill, he leaped down from the roof, only to discover several unfamiliar faces standing ahead of him.

One was an elderly man wearing Mite'er Family attire, standing beside Hai Bodong.

Another was a striking sword-bearing woman whom he had never seen before.

He had seen Jia Xing Tian before, but the elderly man beside him with a medicinal cauldron atop his head was someone he was seeing for the first time.

It seemed the thunder tribulation had alerted quite a few people.
