Battle Through the Heavens: I Am Han Feng, Respect the Teacher and Value the Dao

But the more it was like this, the less Jia Xing Tian dared to gamble.

He was even a little envious that Yun Shan had such a perfect disciple as Yun Yun, who had reached the peak of the Dou Wang realm at such a young age.

Her becoming a Dou Emperor in the future was practically certain.

Then there was Gu He, who had now become a Rank 5 Alchemist and caught up to that old man Fa Ma. His future was likewise boundless.

The Jia Ma Imperial Family... needed someone to rise.

That was also why Jia Xing Tian had rushed to Mo City the moment he received the news.

If Han Feng succeeded in refining the Rank 6 Primal Bone Sculpting Pill, he could restore the imperial family's guardian Magical Beast. With another Dou Emperor-level fighter added to the imperial family, they would be able to stabilize the situation.

Primal Bone Sculpting Pill

Inside the Alchemy Room, Han Feng controlled the medicinal ingredients with Soul Power. Following the descriptions in the Pill Recipes, he refined them three times before condensing them, extracting the most essential Medicinal Liquid.

After the red, yellow, and green medicinal essences had been extracted, they shrank into thumb-sized droplets. Han Feng wrapped them in Heavenly Flames and suspended them in midair to cool.

Next came the main event.

"Three Rank 6 water-element Magic Cores. Heh, how generous."

The Primal Bone Sculpting Pill possessed potent medicinal effects. The recipe boldly used Rank 6 water-element Magic Cores as its main ingredients, maximizing the pill's medicinal properties.

One had to know that every Rank 6 Magic Core represented the death of a Magical Beast comparable to a Dou Emperor.

And Jia Xing Tian had prepared a full three of them in this storage ring.

Three Rank 6 Magic Cores meant that Jia Xing Tian had killed at least three Sixth-order Magical Beasts.

Of course, they might have been stockpiled by the imperial family in the past, or purchased through commercial channels.

Regardless, it was no small expense.

A Rank 6 water-element Magic Core floated above Han Feng's palm as he carefully sensed the violent water-element energy within it.

The Myriad Beast Cauldron before him faintly emitted deep beast roars, rising and falling, near and distant, like the breathing of a living creature.

As the Green Lotus Sea Heart Flame heated it, the Myriad Beast inscriptions around the cauldron gave off a pale blue glow and flickered rhythmically.

The reason the Myriad Beast Cauldron ranked on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking was naturally because it possessed a unique ability beyond ordinary medicine cauldrons.

Compared to cauldrons of ordinary grades, the Myriad Beast Cauldron could accelerate the refining of Magic Cores, stabilize the violent Magical Beast energy within them, and greatly reduce the chance of a furnace explosion caused by Magic Cores.

This special ability had been called "Myriad Beast Breath" by a former owner of the Myriad Beast Cauldron.

Han Feng sensed the breathing of the Myriad Beast Cauldron while also watching the flow of energy within the Magic Core.

The instant the two synchronized, Han Feng tossed the Rank 6 Magic Core into the cauldron.

Roar!

The inscriptions on the Myriad Beast Cauldron blazed with light. The beast roar that rang out directly shattered the Magic Core's resisting will. Han Feng seized the opportunity to activate the Green Lotus Sea Heart Flame, easily penetrating the Magic Core and beginning its refinement.

An hour later, multicolored medicinal essences floated around Han Feng, along with a dazzling mass of Magic Core essence.

"Time to fuse the pill."

Han Feng changed his hand seals and fed the Medicinal Liquid into the cauldron one after another in the order recorded in the recipe, fusing them into a crystalline liquid pearl.

Then, with practiced Alchemy Technique, he drove the Magic Core essence into the liquid pearl.

If Fa Ma had been present, he might have recognized it as Yao Chen's unique Alchemy Technique.

When Fa Ma was young, he had encountered Yao Chen while the latter was traveling the continent and had been fortunate enough to receive some guidance from him.

This technique was one of them.

Unfortunately, Fa Ma had missed the chance to observe Han Feng's alchemy. The unexpected connection between the two could not be revealed.

Boom!

A sea-blue pillar of energy shot into the sky, and Fa Ma's group of three abruptly looked up.

"Success."

Fa Ma sighed. "A pill manifestation... when will I ever be able to refine a pill like this..."

"He refined a Rank 6 Pill so quickly. It seems Master Han succeeded on his first try!"

Jia Xing Tian said joyfully.

He had already prepared himself for all the ingredients to be lost.

Fa Ma secretly sighed.

As expected of a Rank 7 Alchemist. At that speed, he would struggle even to refine a Rank 5 Pill, yet Master Han had actually refined a Rank 6 Pill.

In the path of alchemy, the accomplished were teachers.

Even at his age, he had no choice but to admit it.

Hai Bodong smiled faintly, already used to this.

Master Han was not only formidable, but also reasonable.

Though they had known each other for barely a month, Han Feng had already established his prestige.

After today, even the imperial family would likely hold Han Feng in great esteem.

A person's reputation was built through one matter after another, through the impressions of one person after another.

Gentle as jade, a refined gentleman.

His strength was unfathomable, and his Alchemy Art was miraculous.

Hai Bodong could only lament that such an exceptionally talented person could not remain in Jia Ma for long.

Still, if Han Feng truly stayed, Jia Xing Tian would probably be the one with a headache instead.

Han Feng pushed open the doors of the Alchemy Room and walked out.

"State Lord Jia, the pill is finished. These are the remaining ingredients."

Han Feng returned the storage ring containing the ingredients to Jia Xing Tian.

"Master Han, then now..."

"Let's go treat the Magical Beast directly."

"Good."

Jia Xing Tian immediately went to arrange the carriages.

Han Feng looked at Fa Ma and smiled. "President Fa Ma, you came as well."

Fa Ma bowed to Han Feng.

"Master Han, I had originally come to observe your alchemy, but unfortunately, I was still a step too late."

"No need to regret it. There will be opportunities in the future."

Han Feng smiled and comforted Fa Ma.

Once the carriages were ready, the group arrived at a secret location within the imperial family.

There was no need to mention Fa Ma's close relationship with Jia Xing Tian. Hai Bodong had originally been meant to stay behind, but due to Han Feng's status, they could only allow him to accompany them.

The group got out of the carriage and arrived before a grand Stone Gate.

Han Feng looked around and discovered that the area was covered by an array. Whatever secret lay beyond the gate was likely something the imperial family did not wish to reveal.

Jia Xing Tian stepped forward first and pressed a token against the Stone Gate.

Clack, clack, clack.

The Stone Gate slowly opened, revealing a broad lakeside expanse before them.

Jia Xing Tian entered first, and Han Feng's group followed behind.

The moment they entered through the Stone Gate, all four immediately felt the surrounding natural energy grow stronger.

They were all Dou Emperor-level experts, and their perception of natural energy was already extremely keen. They could distinguish such subtle changes.

Hai Bodong looked at the scene before him in surprise.

He had spent so long in the Imperial Capital, yet he had never discovered that the imperial palace contained such a treasured place.

"Master Han, please wait a moment. I'll awaken it now."

Jia Xing Tian spoke to Han Feng, then stepped toward the lakeshore. His hands formed mysterious seals, and circles of Dou Qi spread into the water.

The lake surface began to tremble faintly. Those on the shore could clearly sense a powerful aura slowly awakening.

Bang!

A towering column of water erupted into the sky, and a massive figure emerged from the lake.

With a casual wave of his hand, Hai Bodong froze the falling spray into ice, preventing it from splashing onto everyone.

"Jia Xing Tian, why have you awakened me?"

The giant beast opened its deep blue eyes, its tone carrying a trace of weariness.

Its gaze first fell upon Jia Xing Tian, then swept across the three people behind him.

It would have been fine if it had not looked. The moment it did, it was startled.

The instant the giant beast saw Han Feng, its pupils suddenly contracted, and its entire body reacted as it entered a battle stance.

Roar!

The giant beast let out a roar.

Jia Xing Tian hurriedly stepped forward to soothe it. "Senior Nether Sea, calm down."

This Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast was even older than Jia Xing Tian. It had once fought in all directions for the Jia Ma Imperial Family and protected the nation's lands.

Even though Jia Xing Tian's cultivation had now surpassed its own, he still did not dare show disrespect toward this guardian of the state.

Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast

"This is Master Han Feng. I asked him to refine the Primal Bone Sculpting Pill to treat your hidden injuries."

After Jia Xing Tian's explanation, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast calmed down as well.

"Sorry."

"It doesn't matter. Can we begin now?"

The Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast nodded, but its gaze remained fixed on Han Feng.

It was certain that Han Feng possessed something capable of taking its life at any moment.

Otherwise, it would not have been so wary.

Han Feng could tell that the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast was on guard against him, but he did not explain. He simply took out the Primal Bone Sculpting Pill and tossed it into its mouth.

Then Sea Heart Flame rose from his palm. The gentle flame spread like ocean waves and lightly pressed against the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's body.

Gulp.

The Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's eyes widened. It finally understood what it was that made it wary of Han Feng.

As its emotions surged, the lake water began to boil.

Han Feng frowned slightly and said, "Be quiet."

The moment his words fell, the lake surface immediately returned to calm.

The Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast discovered in horror that its innate ability to control water had actually failed.

Before this terrifying wave-shaped flame, even its instincts had been stripped away!

"Don't move around."

At those soft words, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast did not dare move at all. Only after Han Feng had fully activated the pill's Medicinal Power within its body did it stretch out its body and feel itself being reforged from within, suffering and enjoying it at the same time.

After an unknown amount of time, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast slowly opened its eyes. The weariness within them had been swept away, replaced by incomparable new vitality.

Han Feng withdrew his hand, and Jia Xing Tian hurriedly asked, "Master Han, is it... healed?"

"Yeah. What's wrong?"
