Jia Nan Academy's Honorary Elder: They Wanted to Improve So Badly!

"Grand Elder should know why Han Feng built Feng City near Jia Nan Academy, right?" Xiao Chuan spoke with hidden meaning, intending to stir up their sense of crisis.

Su Qian knew that Han Feng had always been interested in the Fallen Heart Flame within their Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, but it had not yet reached the point of openly tearing relations apart.

"Please continue, Master Xiao."

"There are grudges between Han Feng and me, but they can't be explained clearly in a short time." Xiao Chuan was furious inside! Why hadn't Han Feng simply given all his treasures to him? Why did he have to go take them himself?

Han Feng: Feed me peanuts!

"Han Feng will make his move sooner or later, and Jia Nan Academy definitely won't escape." Xiao Chuan looked at Su Qian. "Why not join forces with me and get rid of Han Feng? In return, I can become an Honorary Elder of Jia Nan Academy."

Su Qian and Hu Gan exchanged glances. With Xiao Chuan's cultivation, he was more than qualified to become an elder of Jia Nan Academy.

Coupled with his identity as a Tier 7 Alchemist, Jia Nan Academy would love that!!

"Master Xiao, could you briefly tell us what grudge exists between you and Han Feng?"

Su Qian would not agree just because of Xiao Chuan's few words. Every matter had to be considered carefully.

"Han Feng committed Parricide and Betrayal. Elder Su, is that answer enough to kill him?" Xiao Chuan looked at Su Qian with an imposing air.

Parricide!!

Su Qian and Hu Gan's hearts trembled. They knew that Han Feng's teacher was Venerable Yao.

Rumor had it that Venerable Yao had suffered Alchemy Backlash, but how could an Tier 8 Alchemist possibly suffer Alchemy Backlash?

Su Qian and Hu Gan had already formed a guess. Such a young alchemist likely came only from the Dan Tower or some great clan.

They believed Xiao Chuan must have had some connection with Venerable Yao, and that he had come this time to avenge him.

Thus, everything made sense.

Xiao Chuan knew that if he did not explain everything, others would overthink it. And if they kept thinking, they would eventually figure it out.

Therefore, there was no need to make many things so clear, just like when a leader spoke to his subordinates.

If you got it wrong, that was your problem. If you got it right, that meant I had guided you well.

"Master Xiao, do you truly agree to become an Honorary Elder of Jia Nan Academy?" Su Qian knew that Xiao Chuan's future was boundless. He would certainly become a Tier 8 Alchemist in the future, perhaps even greater.

Their Academy Elder had suddenly vanished. If not for old fellows like them, this place would have fallen apart long ago.

If Jia Nan Academy had a Tier 7 Alchemist guarding it, he would definitely be far more reliable than an Academy Elder who might as well not exist.

If this worked out, they would not lose out!

Not only could they eliminate a hidden danger, they could also get a Tier 7 Alchemist for free.

Su Qian was thinking of getting Xiao Chuan for free, while Xiao Chuan was thinking of getting his students for free...

"If Grand Elder does not believe me, I can publicly announce that I have joined Jia Nan Academy." Xiao Chuan had agreed to become an elder for the Fallen Heart Flame. Did they really think he was doing it for beauty?

As long as he displayed astonishing talent, would Su Qian not obediently hand over the Fallen Heart Flame to win him over?

Xiao Chuan had given Xiao Yan so many medicinal ingredients precisely so that he could quickly become a Tier 3 Alchemist.

Once Xiao Yan became a Tier 3 Alchemist, he would become a Tier 8 Alchemist. By then, Su Qian would be begging Xiao Chuan to take the Fallen Heart Flame away.

"I believe you."

Su Qian saw Xiao Chuan's sincerity and changed the subject. "Then what does Master Xiao intend to do?"

"I can deal with Han Feng alone. You only need to keep an eye on those who might help him." Xiao Chuan could kill even a Lower-Rank Dou Ancestor, let alone Han Feng, who was merely at the Dou Emperor Peak.

Su Qian nodded. This way, they would still be the ones benefiting.

"As for when we act, just wait for my message." Xiao Chuan had to leave Han Feng isolated and helpless.

In the core region of the Black-Corner Region, bordering the outer perimeter of Jia Nan Academy, lay the territory of Feng City, Han Feng's private power.

Half a month passed. Han Feng had been trying to uncover Xiao Chuan's background, but those Dou Emperor Experts all seemed intent on distancing themselves and would not give him the time of day.

"Gold and Silver Elders, what benefits did Master Xiao give you? Why are you working so hard to help him find those medicinal ingredients?" Han Feng asked with a frown.

Elder Jin slowly said, "Master Xiao can refine Huangji Pills for free, and he also promised to refine Pozong Pills for us."

"Huangji Pills are Tier 6 Peak Pills. Even I..." Han Feng had wanted to say that even he was not necessarily confident in successfully refining them, but he swallowed the words. After all, that would be belittling himself. "Could he truly be a Tier 7 Alchemist?"

Elder Jin nodded. "And Master Xiao is extremely young, so young that you may not even be able to imagine it."

Although Xiao Chuan had already made a name for himself in the Black-Corner Region, few people had seen his true face. When others came seeking pills, the people in charge received them.

He only handled the alchemy.

Otherwise, how could he possibly deal with so many people by himself?

Alchemy alone was already miserable enough.

"Surname Xiao..." Han Feng considered which alchemy masters bore the surname Xiao, but in his memory, there was no alchemy master with that surname at all.

Elder Jin asked in surprise, "Does the Medicine Emperor know where he comes from? Or what faction stands behind him?"

"I've never heard of him." Han Feng shook his head. "A genius like this must have an even stronger teacher behind him. It seems I should pay him a visit as well."

"I heard that Fan Lao spent a great price to gather the ingredients for a Huangji Pill, and Master Xiao agreed to help refine it. Will the Medicine Emperor accompany us?"

If Han Feng had not specifically sought them out, the Gold and Silver Elders might already have been waiting in Heiyin City.

At those words, Han Feng was tempted. If Xiao Chuan truly was a Tier 7 Alchemist, then observing his alchemy would surely bring him some gains as well.

"Let's go together!"

Han Feng also wanted to know whether Xiao Chuan had forged his identity as a Tier 7 Alchemist.

"Medicine Emperor, please!" The Gold and Silver Elders also wanted to use this pill refinement to determine whether Xiao Chuan was truly a Tier 7 Alchemist.

After all, seeing was believing.

"Let's go!"

Han Feng was the only Tier 6 Peak Alchemist in the entire Black-Corner Region. Now, another alchemist stronger than him had appeared.

It left him extremely displeased.

Though displeased, Han Feng was a smart man. Before learning the other party's identity, he definitely could not offend him.

But he knew that Xiao Chuan had already won over Fan Lao and the others, clearly intending to dominate the Black-Corner Region alone.

If they all submitted to Xiao Chuan, then his status in the Black-Corner Region would certainly be suppressed by the other party.

"Damn it! If I could advance to a Tier 7 Alchemist as well, I wouldn't be so passive right now!"

Han Feng always had a strange feeling that the other party was coming for him, but he could not find a reason for it.

Afterward, the Gold and Silver Elders led Han Feng toward Heiyin City.

Outside Heiyin City, Xiao Chuan had deliberately chosen to publicly refine a Huangji Pill in the open so that everyone would be completely convinced.

Thus, Dou Emperor Experts such as Yin Gu Lao came rushing over upon hearing the news, already standing guard around Xiao Chuan.

At this moment, whoever dared harbor any ill intentions toward Xiao Chuan would be crushed by them at once!!

Whoever dared stop them from improving would face their wrath!!

Especially Fan Lao. He had provided the ingredients this time and had practically emptied half his fortune.

He wanted to improve far too badly!!
