"Grandmaster Han, the ingredients you requested have all been gathered."
Hai Bodong took out a storage ring and gently placed it on the table.
Han Feng put down his teacup in surprise and picked up the storage ring.
He scanned it with his soul power. Sure enough, everything was there.
The "Illusory Moon Spirit Vine," which emitted a faint glow, was perfectly preserved in a jade box.
"It must have taken a lot of effort," Han Feng said with a smile as he accepted the storage ring.
It had indeed taken a lot of effort!
To obtain this Illusory Moon Spirit Vine, their Miteer family had to extend their reach abroad. Hai Bodong had even personally acted as an escort to ensure that this seventh-tier medicinal ingredient could arrive in the imperial capital on time.
"Since Grandmaster Han made the request, my Miteer family will naturally do everything in our power to fulfill it," Hai Bodong took the opportunity to express his sincerity for cooperation.
Han Feng nodded slightly.
"Are the ingredients for the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill all gathered?"
"They are."
Hai Bodong took out another storage ring, which contained the ingredients he had collected for himself.
Having mobilized a large amount of the Miteer family's manpower and resources, they had even obtained a seventh-tier ingredient within a month, let alone these few fifth-tier ingredients.
Han Feng took the storage ring, checked it as well, and then nodded. "In that case, I will first refine the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill for you, Old Sir Hai."
So soon?
Hai Bodong quickly stood up. "Grandmaster Han, please follow me. The family has a dedicated alchemy room."
The two arrived at the alchemy room area, and Hai Bodong opened a heavy stone door.
The alchemists of the Miteer family refined their pills here.
However, each person had a separate room so as not to disturb each other.
After walking into the room, Han Feng took out his Myriad Beasts Cauldron and, in just one hour, refined the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill.
He took out the ingredients for the Soul-Guiding Pill, hesitated for a moment, but still decided to refine it now.
The opportunity for a soul to condense a body was not always available.
The longer it was delayed, the more likely variables would appear.
Han Feng walked out of the room. Seeing 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 was used to Han Feng's efficiency and cupped his fist in thanks.
"By the way, when I'm refining a pill later, there might be a bit of a commotion. Is that alright?"
Hai Bodong quickly assured him, "It's fine. Grandmaster Han, please feel at ease. This place is far from the residential area and won't be affected."
"As long as it's fine."
Han Feng nodded and turned back to the alchemy room.
Hai Bodong had obtained the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill. Seeing that Han Feng was still busy, he did not wait any longer. He couldn't wait to return to his own training chamber, ready to swallow the pill and recover his cultivation.
Due to the long-term suppression of the seal, even after breaking it, his cultivation had only recovered to a three-star Dou Emperor. He was still a long way from his original five-star Dou Emperor level.
Now this Spirit Recovery Purple Pill could save him two to three years of hard cultivation. How could he not be excited?
On the other side, Han Feng had already begun refining the Soul-Guiding Pill.
The refining time this time would be slightly longer. Han Feng was not the least bit careless, refining the ingredients and merging the medicinal liquids step by step.
So far, since his rebirth, he had never failed in alchemy, but that didn't mean he could be one hundred percent successful.
No matter how skilled an alchemist was, they could not be arrogant and be half-hearted when refining pills.
Fortunately, this refinement was also very perfect. After refining the quality of the fused medicinal liquid to the highest level, Han Feng opened his eyes, which were burning with an icy-green flame.
"The final step, pill fusion!"
Han Feng formed a seal with his hands. With a buzz, his soul power surged towards the cauldron, enveloping the medicinal liquid.
The Soul-Guiding Pill guides the soul, so the final step of alchemy would be different.
This time, Han Feng withdrew his Heavenly Flame and completely used his soul power to fuse the pill. The transformed soul flame tempered the swirling medicinal liquid, causing it to finally solidify slowly, forming a spirit pill as white as the moon.
Rumble!
Three days passed slowly. Hai Bodong had now finished refining the medicinal power, and his cultivation had officially recovered to a five-star Dou Emperor.
However, a clap of thunder in the sky made him quickly stop his cultivation and calm his breath.
This was no ordinary heavenly thunder!
Hai Bodong had a premonition and quickly walked out of the training chamber.
One look was fine, but this one look immediately left him stunned.
He saw that directly above the Miteer family's alchemy area, a thick dark cloud was slowly rotating, forming a scene of black clouds pressing down.
In the black clouds, silver lightning continuously surged, seeming to still be gathering power.
"What is going on!"
Miteer Teng Shan came looking for him in a panic. Seeing Hai Bodong emerge from seclusion, he finally felt a little more at ease.
"Old Sir Hai, Old Sir Hai!"
"Huh?"
Hai Bodong came back to his senses, looking at the thundercloud phenomenon, not knowing what to say.
This commotion was indeed a bit big...
"Old Sir Hai, what on earth is that?"
Such a major event happening within the Miteer family's grounds, although it was far from the residential area, could not be ignored.
"It should be the commotion caused by Grandmaster Han's alchemy," Hai Bodong said with emotion.
The two looked at each other, and amazement could be seen in each other's eyes.
The two old men said in unison.
"A lightning tribulation!"
"Seventh-grade!"
———
Jia Ma Imperial Family. Jia Xingtian spread his Dou Qi wings and flew directly from the imperial palace into the sky, rushing towards the Miteer family.
A few days ago, his subordinates had reported that Grandmaster Han had entered the Miteer family.
At that time, Jia Xingtian realized that the Miteer family might have already latched onto Han Feng.
Otherwise, Han Feng would not have gone directly to the Miteer family instead of coming to the imperial palace first.
Originally, it wouldn't have mattered if he waited a few more days.
But today, a lightning tribulation suddenly appeared over the Miteer family, and he finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Misty Cloud Sect.
On the summit of Misty Cloud Mountain, a female cultivator whose graceful figure was outlined by a light cyan robe slowly sheathed her sword. Her three thousand black silks moved with the wind, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face without any makeup.
She seemed to sense something and looked far into the distance, towards the direction of the mountain base.
It seemed that something big was happening in the imperial capital.
Her master had gone into seclusion a few days ago. Now, only she could go and take a look.
Yun Yun spread her Dou Qi wings and flew down towards the clouds.
———
The Soul-Guiding Pill emerged, and the lightning tribulation began.
Han Feng grabbed the pill, which was trying to escape, and then stepped onto the roof of the house.
This pill needed to be tempered by the lightning tribulation to perfectly stimulate its spirituality, but the lightning tribulation could not be allowed to destroy the pill.
So he had to block a part of it and leave a part of it.
A flame trident slowly appeared in Han Feng's left hand, and a defensive fire lotus slowly appeared in his right hand.
He stuck the trident into the roof beam, forming a lightning rod, and then protected his entire body with the defensive fire lotus.
"Rumble!"
The heavenly thunder surged, forming a pillar of lightning several meters in size.
At this time, the onlookers had all arrived. When Jia Xingtian saw Hai Bodong appear, he was too surprised to question him and could only turn his gaze to the impending heavenly thunder.
Yun Yun had also arrived on a rooftop, watching the mighty heavenly thunder from afar.
"The Miteer family? How could they..."
Rumble!
This time, the lightning struck down fiercely, hitting the green fire lotus in the blink of an eye.
All was silent. The dazzling white light illuminated the blue sky of the imperial capital.
Rumble!
The delayed sound wave reverberated through the sky, deafeningly loud.
Miteer Teng Shan's face twitched slightly, as if he had already foreseen their Miteer family's alchemy area being turned to dust.
However, when the white light dissipated, Han Feng stood on the roof with his clothes fluttering, and the surroundings were completely intact. Only a pill emitting a dazzling silver light amazed everyone.
