Several days flashed by.
Han Feng's days in the Green Luan Clan territory were very quiet. He spent most of his time in his room, refining two Dou Saint puppets.
The body of a Dou Saint was incomparably hard. For Han Feng, punching through it was easy, but repeatedly tempering it to refine it into a puppet-like object required a considerable amount of effort.
However, the benefits were also obvious; the defensive power of the puppetized Dou Saint had significantly improved.
It just consumed a lot of precious materials, making Han Feng feel a pang of heartache.
Near dusk, as the sun set, a burst of dazzling light erupted from Han Feng's room. The two Dou Saint puppets were successfully refined.
Yao Xiaotian's originally broken body was now fully repaired. His skin reflected a metallic luster, and his eyes were lifeless.
The Grand Elder was the same. All the poison in his body was entirely stored in the Dou Saint space within him, revealing no aura externally. The whole person looked less cunning and a bit more "honest" than when he was alive.
"Go, return to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan."
Han Feng said to the Grand Elder.
Both puppets had been implanted with Han Feng's soul imprint. Although their original intelligence was completely erased, they could still execute orders issued by Han Feng.
Green poison Dou Qi flickered on the Grand Elder's body, and he disappeared from the valley within a few breaths.
Han Feng looked at the remaining Yao Xiaotian carefully, then waved his hand to store him in the Mountain and River Map.
Finally done.
With the assistance of two Dou Saint puppets, their combat power had obviously risen to a new level.
Although such high-end combat power might not be needed in the short term, it was better than nothing.
If it really came to fighting the Hall of Souls, a one-star Dou Saint honestly could not play a decisive role.
Unbeatable experts would remain unbeatable, only allowing for a slight delay.
Fortunately, after this trip to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, Han Feng had a bit more confidence in his own combat power. Fighting above his star level within the Dou Saint class was not a delusion for him.
As long as he refined the Demon Saint Essence Blood, his cultivation would skyrocket in a short time. Reaching three-star Dou Saint would be no problem, and charging for four-star was not impossible.
The next few years would be a gap period for Han Feng, allowing him to cultivate with peace of mind and search for Heavenly Flames.
This could be considered the last relatively peaceful period before Han Feng launched a real counterattack.
Leaving the house, Han Feng noted that Lin Xian'er and the others had been practicing flying Dou Techniques these past few days, and their mid-air combat skills had improved significantly.
That Granny Qing, although she looked approachable and amiable, was actually the most senior of the three Dou Venerates in the Green Luan Clan, and also the High Priest of the Green Luan Clan, in charge of clan rules.
Liu Qingqing had told him this before.
Having a Dou Venerate guide Lin Xian'er and the others in their cultivation was a form of feedback from the Green Luan Clan to Han Feng and the Falling Star Pavilion.
After experiencing it for a few days, Han Feng was quite satisfied with the Green Luan Clan.
Mainly because their attitude towards Lin Xian'er and the others was very good, which touched the soft spot in Han Feng's heart.
He arrived at the valley where Lin Xian'er and the others were cultivating and saw that they were still training as evening approached.
Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, several beams of light shuttled through the valley. Their movements were crisp and sharp, without any sense of dragging.
This was the subtlety of the Green Luan Clan's flight techniques.
Lin Xian'er and the others could not completely replicate this subtlety, but being able to imitate a thing or two was already a huge improvement.
"Mr. Han Feng."
Liu Qingqing happened to be here as well. Seeing Han Feng arrive, she immediately went to greet him.
"I was just looking for you, Elder Liu."
Han Feng smiled gently and said.
"Oh? What is it that Mr. Han Feng needs me for?"
Liu Qingqing asked in surprise.
These days, Han Feng had been staying in his room. The only times he came out were to get some fresh air in the morning and take a walk at night, looking quite leisurely.
"Didn't I talk to you about the Green Luan Clan's bloodline balance before? In the past few days, I thought about it, and I actually figured out a way."
Han Feng said.
"Really?"
Liu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "What is the method?"
A cluster of crimson flame ignited in Han Feng's hand, with various magical beast spirits flowing within it.
"Ten Thousand Beast Flame!"
Liu Qingqing sensed the powerful attraction within this crimson flame and shouted with wide eyes.
As a member of the magical beasts, Liu Qingqing naturally knew of the existence of this Heavenly Flame.
It was known as the nemesis of magical beasts, and also the treasure of magical beasts.
When it appeared in the past, it was jointly refined by ten thousand beasts. Various clans took out their own precious essence blood to nourish the Heavenly Flame and enhance its power.
They were naturally not foolish. Consuming precious essence blood was not a small matter for any clan, but if it could bring blessings to the whole clan, then by comparison, it was very worthwhile.
For magical beasts, the greatest function of this Ten Thousand Beast Flame was its ability to increase the concentration of essence blood.
At that time, many magical beast families relied on the Ten Thousand Beast Flame to continue their lineage.
However, blessings and misfortunes come together. While the Ten Thousand Beast Flame blessed the ten thousand beasts, it also planted a huge hidden danger.
That was, it could manipulate those blessed magical beasts. Once someone refined this flame, they could easily control ten thousand beasts, thereby setting off chaos in the Beast Region.
After discovering this secret, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was secretly kept in custody and supervised by various clans in rotation. Unfortunately, it was eventually plundered and refined by one person.
To prevent chaos in the Beast Region, the Overlord of the Beast Region at that time acted decisively to kill him. However, the opponent was naturally not a pushover to be able to snatch the Heavenly Flame from the hands of various clans. Relying on the power of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, he withstood the Overlord's attack, escaped, and his whereabouts became unknown.
"I didn't expect the Ten Thousand Beast Flame to be in Mr. Han Feng's hands!"
Liu Qingqing quickly stepped forward and held Han Feng's hand, gently closing it.
"Mr. Han Feng, in the Beast Region, it is better not to reveal this Heavenly Flame easily, otherwise it is easy to incur the fear of the major magical beast families."
Han Feng nodded.
"I will be more careful. However, Elder Liu, can this Heavenly Flame solve the Green Luan Clan's problem?"
"This... naturally it can."
Liu Qingqing's cheeks turned slightly red, and she slowly withdrew her hand holding Han Feng.
She was too excited just now and acted so presumptuously, slighting Mr. Han Feng.
"If Mr. Han Feng is willing to use the Ten Thousand Beast Flame to help the Green Luan Clan, my clan will definitely remember Mr. Han Feng's kindness. If there is any need in the future, I, Liu Qingqing, will be the first to stand up."
Liu Qingqing looked at Han Feng and said seriously.
"I don't doubt the Green Luan Clan's credit, but Elder Liu should know that if you accept the bloodline refinement of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, the Green Luan Clan will be subject to my restrictions."
Han Feng reminded, "I'm afraid Elder Liu cannot agree to this point on behalf of the clan members, right?"
"This..."
Liu Qingqing lowered her head.
Han Feng was right; she could not make this decision on behalf of her clan members.
The feeling of being controlled by others was definitely not good.
She pondered for a moment, then looked up at Han Feng.
"I will discuss this matter with the Clan Head and give Mr. Han Feng an answer as soon as possible."
"But I believe Mr. Han Feng will not make things difficult for the Green Luan Clan, right?"
Han Feng smiled gently.
"Naturally. I have a very good impression of the Green Luan Clan."
"Although I cannot make any promises right now, for the sake of my Junior Sister, we can have a bit more trust between us."
Han Feng said.
"There is no need to rush this matter. The bloodline issue of the Green Luan Clan has not existed for just a day or two, and there will not be any major fluctuations in the short term. When you have thought it through, you can notify me at any time."
Han Feng handed a communication token to Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing reached out to take it, then bowed deeply to Han Feng.
"Thank you, Mr. Han Feng. With your words, I feel much more at ease."
"Although the road ahead is dangerous and the result is unknown, at least there is a way out."
Han Feng nodded and looked in the direction of the valley.
Lin Xian'er and the others had already discovered him and were flying towards this side.
Liu Qingqing turned slowly and stood beside Han Feng.
She suddenly felt that Han Feng's back was very reliable.
Originally, she thought that he and Little Mu were in a senior brother and junior sister relationship. Although the age gap seemed a bit large, with this relationship, it might not be impossible for them to come together in the future.
After all, in the cultivation world, an age difference of a few decades really counted for nothing.
But thinking about it now, she felt... could she try to get close to Han Feng?
She had never looked for a partner within the clan. If she found a human genius like Han Feng, it would presumably be a good match.
But snatching her niece's husband... isn't that a bit unethical?
Liu Qingqing had many thoughts in her mind. After being awakened by the sound of flight in the air, she shook her head amusingly.
What is she thinking wildly about?
Mr. Han Feng has so many female relatives around him; presumably, he has already started a family.
Let alone her having no chance, even Little Mu might have a hard time.
"Master!"
Lin Xian'er landed beside Han Feng.
"You're out of seclusion?"
Master came out so early today. Could it be that the things he was refining are completed?
"En, how is your studying going?"
Lin Xian'er waved her arm proudly.
"Already perfected!"
"Don't get complacent."
Han Feng gently knocked his disciple's head, then looked at Granny Qing who was walking over slowly.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
Qing Li smiled and waved her hand.
"This old woman just passed on a little experience. I should be thanking Mr. Han Feng and the Falling Star Pavilion for their help to my Green Luan Clan."
"Several of the children are very clever. Their future achievements will definitely be extraordinary."
Qing Li's kind gaze swept over Lin Xian'er and the others, finally stopping on Ye Qingyun.
From the beginning, she had valued Ye Qingyun very much, perhaps due to the Green Wood Immortal Body, or perhaps something else.
"Keep working hard."
Qing Li said with a smile.
Han Feng took Lin Xian'er and the others to bid farewell to Qing Li.
Liu Qingqing walked to Qing Li's side and explained Han Feng's meaning just now to her.
Hearing that Han Feng possessed the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Qing Li was obviously a bit surprised.
"This is a good thing!"
She said with a smile, "Anyway, I support it. With Mr. Han Feng's strength, he really doesn't need to scheme against my Green Luan Clan. If he wanted to harm us, it would be too easy."
Liu Qingqing asked curiously, "Granny, you are an eight-star Dou Venerate. Is Mr. Han Feng even stronger than you?"
Qing Li shook her head: "Girl Liu, comparing this old woman with Mr. Han Feng, you are flattering me too much."
"Surrounding his body is the Dao rhyme of the Saint realm..."
As the High Priest, she could see things that other Dou Venerates could not.
Just like the raging fire lingering around Han Feng, that was the power of laws far exceeding the Dou Venerate realm.
Liu Qingqing's pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked incredulously in the direction Han Feng and the others were leaving.
"Mr. Han Feng... is a Half-Saint?"
Qing Li smiled without speaking. Perhaps it could be raised even higher; Dou Saint might not be impossible.
However, for the Green Luan Clan, there was no difference between a Half-Saint and a Dou Saint.
...
After Mu Qingluan said goodbye to her father, she looked in the direction of the secluded tower on the top floor of the temple.
Mother hasn't come out of seclusion yet. It's a pity.
If the family of three could reunite, that would certainly be even more beautiful, right?
But cultivation is more important. Better not disturb Mother.
Mu Qingluan waved to her father, then flew towards Han Feng and the others.
"Senior Brother, let's go."
Having stayed in the clan for a few days, the feeling of longing had been alleviated. Next, she had to return to the main storyline and cultivate well in the Falling Star Pavilion.
Her father had already broken through to Dou Ancestor, so she couldn't be too terrible.
Han Feng summoned the spirit boat and took everyone flying out of the mountains.
Liu Qingqing transformed into a Green Luan divine bird. Just like when she led the way here, she guided Han Feng on the path out.
The two had a tacit understanding and flew all the way, arriving at the border of the Green Luan Clan's territory.
"Mr. Han Feng, when I convince the clan members, I will notify you!"
"Okay."
"Thank you very much."
After learning that Han Feng was a Half-Saint strongman, the appreciation in Liu Qingqing's heart turned into reverence.
She was just a cultivator who had newly entered the Dou Venerate class. She knew she was not qualified to become Han Feng's Dao companion.
It was still Little Mu who was lucky to have such a powerful Senior Brother. Her future path would likely be very smooth.
The spirit boat drove all the way to the border of the Beast Region. Han Feng, carrying the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, soared high in the sky, looking down at the hundred thousand mountains, actually feeling a sense of "if not me, then who?".
Listening to Liu Qingqing, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame once set off a chaotic war in the Beast Region, forcing the Overlord at that time to take action to quell the disaster.
Now that he held the source of the chaos and had developed such a profundity as the Ten Thousand Beast Record, subduing ten thousand beasts would be effortless.
When he came next time, he could travel around the Beast Region.
Subdue more powerful magical beasts to enhance the power of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame.
Although the Ten Thousand Beast Flame ranked low, its potential was also great. If the types of subdued magical beasts increased, its power would also rise accordingly.
Han Feng now owned an entire army of Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons. His intelligence capabilities were instantly maxed out, and he could easily find information on various magical beasts in the Beast Region.
Backed by such resources, Han Feng did not need to expend too much effort to quickly accumulate a large amount of essence blood power.
Most importantly, the relationship between the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and magical beasts was mutually beneficial. It did not need to consume magical beast essence blood like other methods. On one hand, it could purify the essence blood in the magical beast's body, and on the other hand, it could record the essence blood and imitate its abilities.
Except for the fact that the collected magical beasts would be controlled by Han Feng, there was almost no harm to the Beast Region.
As long as Han Feng did not think about starting a Great War in the Beast Region, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was his best key to traverse the Beast Region freely.
A few days later, the flying spirit boat left the Beast Region. Everyone looked back, and that stretch of a hundred thousand mountains had gradually disappeared from view.
