Chapter 53: Danger
In the evening, Han Zihua held a banquet to welcome Lin Feng and Sun Yi, with many high-level members of the great forces in Junzi City attending.
After the banquet ended, Lin Feng returned to his residence and began preparing to refine the Ancient Life Extending Pill.
This elixir is not difficult to refine; the key is that the recipe is quite precious.
The Ancient Life Extending Pill is an elixir that protects the divine soul from death.
Currently, Han Zihua's wife "Ruuoxi" faces her greatest trouble: her "soul" is about to be destroyed.
Once a person's soul dies, they are completely dead.
The Ancient Life Extending Pill extends Ruuoxi's life, allowing her soul to live for another hundred years.
During this century, Han Zihua will search for the heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed to restore Ruuoxi's soul and bring her back from this living dead state.
...
Sun Yi's residence.
"Master, Huo Qianyun from Fire Valley seeks an audience," Shi Yan walked in from outside.
Now he and Sun Yi live together in a courtyard, which shows how much Sun Yi values Shi Yan.
Perhaps it is because Shi Yan himself was promoted to Great Elder, or perhaps it is related to Lin Feng.
The other Medicine Kings naturally envy Shi Yan for being valued by Sun Yi.
However, such things cannot be achieved by envy alone.
They vaguely heard that Shi Yan's daughter seems to have a close relationship with Lin Feng.
Sun Yi probably knows about this, which is why he is so close to Shi Yan.
"The people of Fire Valley? Hmph, having offended Brother Lin, how could this old man ever meet them again?" Sun Yi sneered coldly.
Following the order, Shi Yan went outside the courtyard.
He looked at the anxious Huo Qianyun and said, "Master has already retired, please leave, Brother Huo."
After speaking, he ignored Huo Qianyun's gloomy face and turned back into the courtyard.
Huo Qianyun's body swayed slightly.
His eyes were filled with an angry look.
Huo Qianyun knew that his appointment as the President of the Youzhou Alchemist General Union was over.
The surrounding Fire Valley people didn't dare touch Huo Qianyun's brow.
Zhuo Yan cautiously said, "Senior Brother, it must be that kid causing trouble behind the scenes. Even though he's young, what if he's a Heavenly Stage Alchemist? His cultivation must not be that great. Isn't that kid alone outside? Let's find a chance to get rid of him to relieve our anger."
Upon hearing Zhuo Yan's words, Huo Qianyun's anger intensified. He looked coldly at Zhuo Yan and said, "You usually act arrogantly, relying on being a disciple of Fire Valley, but didn't I warn you to be cautious with your words before Sun Yi Senior? If it weren't for you, would Sun Yi Senior blame me? The position of President of the Youzhou Alchemist General Union was about to be mine, and because of your mistake, I won't let you off easily."
As his voice fell, the furious Huo Qianyun struck Zhuo Yan's chest with a palm.
Boom.
Zhuo Yan was hit like lightning and flew out, spitting blood midair.
He fell to the ground, motionless.
A disciple went to check and found that Zhuo Yan had been killed by Huo Qianyun's palm in anger.
"Dead, dead," said the disciple with a trembling voice.
"Senior Brother, I was wrong, forgive me," the female disciple who had ridiculed Lin Feng knelt on the ground, shouting in fear.
Huo Qianyun's status was very high in Fire Valley because he was the nephew of the Valley Master.
Moreover, he was an Earth Rank Alchemist, which was not something those people could compare to.
Killing them meant they were dead for nothing.
After killing Zhuo Yan with one palm, Huo Qianyun's anger subsided greatly, and he coldly glanced at the female disciple.
"Xuu Rui, you have good looks, and Master Lin is at a vigorous age; he must like women. I'm giving you a task now. If you can do it, you will not only prosper, but I can also be forgiven by Master Lin and have a chance to become the President of the Alchemist General Union for a province,"
Huo Qianyun squinted at the beautiful Fire Valley female disciple, with a face deemed exquisite, smiled slightly, as if he had thought of a good solution.
...
By dawn, Lin Feng had successfully refined the Ancient Life Extending Pill.
After resting for a while.
At sunrise, Han Zihua came to invite Lin Feng to dine together.
Lin Feng called Han Zihua into the room, took out the refined Ancient Life Extending Pill, and said, "This is the Ancient Life Extending Pill. Taking it will ensure your wife's soul does not die within a hundred years."
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Han Zihua trembled all over.
He then excitedly took the porcelain bottle containing the Ancient Life Extending Pill.
"Brother Lin's great kindness, Zihua will never forget."
Han Zihua spoke and was about to give a grand bow to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng hurriedly helped Han Zihua up, saying, "Brother Zihua, please don't be so ceremonious."
At this moment, Han Zihua took out a White Jade Box and said, "I hope Brother Lin accepts this Holy Medicine; such a treasure can only realize its value in Brother Lin's hands."
Lin Feng did not take the White Jade Box, saying, "When your wife awakens, she will be extremely weak. This Holy Medicine should be kept for your wife to nourish her body; she needs it more than I do."
Han Zihua tearfully said, "Meeting Brother Lin is truly a blessing refined over three lifetimes."
"Brother Zihua, you are too kind, I have some matters to discuss with Brother Zihua," Lin Feng said.
"I'm all ears," Han Zihua cupped his hands.
Lin Feng and Han Zihua talked for an hour, and the content of their discussion is known only to them.
...
During breakfast, Lin Feng said, "This time, I made an elixir for Brother Zihua on his five-year promise, I'm afraid Brother Sun came for nothing."
Han Zihua also apologetically looked at Sun Yi.
Sun Yi came for the Hundred Thousand Year Holy Medicine, but now that Lin Feng had refined the Ancient Life Extending Pill, Sun Yi naturally had no chance to obtain the Holy Medicine.
Han Zihua worried that Sun Yi might be upset, and Lin Feng had just explained, hoping Sun Yi wouldn't resent Han Zihua for this.
Sun Yi smiled slightly, "Meeting Brother Lin here is worth more than ten Holy Medicines."
Sun Yi indeed was no stranger to being shrewd, though he was somewhat regretful for missing the Hundred Thousand Year Holy Medicine, he didn't show it, and his words further pleased Lin Feng, increasing Lin Feng's favor.
Sun Yi then looked at Han Zihua, smiled and said, "No need to worry, seeing your wife get the chance to extend her life makes me happy for you, how could I blame you over a single spirit medicine?"
"Thank you, Senior," Han Zihua saluted.
Lin Feng laughed and said, "Sun Daoist has a broad mind, I admire it greatly."
Sun Yi smiled slightly.
Regarding his approach today, Sun Yi felt very satisfied, leaving an impression of being broad-minded in front of Lin Feng, evidently earning Lin Feng's favor.
In Sun Yi's view, the value of a Hundred Thousand Year Holy Medicine cannot compare to the importance of forming a friendship with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stayed at Han Zihua's mansion for three days, during which he mostly exchanged alchemy insights with Sun Yi.
Because Lin Feng often worked alone on various alchemy skills, meeting someone like Sun Yi, a Heavenly Stage Alchemist, was rare.
This was indeed a process of mutual exchange and promotion.
In three days, they exchanged vast content, and both Sun Yi and Lin Feng felt they had gained greatly.
"Haha, exchanging ideas with Brother Lin has truly enlightened me, I can't wait to return to the main hall to retreat for a while,"
Sun Yi said with a laugh.
Lin Feng also laughed, "Exchanging with Sun Daoist also benefited me greatly; I plan to leave Junzi City, until we meet again."
Sun Yi and Lin Feng both left Junzi City.
Sun Yi and others departed via teleportation array.
And Lin Feng was headed for True Martial Country's Imperial City.
After so many years away, he wondered how Shangguan Fei'er was doing.
Thinking of Shangguan Fei'er, Lin Feng felt a slight warmth in his heart.
She is a woman who deeply loves Lin Feng.
And Shangguan Fei'er holds an extremely important position in Lin Feng's heart.
Because there is no teleportation array in True Martial Country, Lin Feng could only travel by gryphon beast.
Upon leaving Junzi City, Lin Feng ventured into the vast Ancient Forest, with the gryphon beast flying quickly overhead the forest.
As they flew over a range of mountains, suddenly, a vast hand emerged from the depths, covering the skies and reaching towards Lin Feng.
"Not good, a Creation Realm expert,"
