"What does he want?"
Tang Zhen asked.
The other party was a rare eighth-grade alchemy grandmaster. No matter what request he made, Tang Zhen was actually prepared to agree.
"Top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal."
Tang Yin said.
Based on his understanding of the Patriarch, this transaction was likely to be successful.
Although the top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal was precious, how could it compare to his beloved daughter?
And this wasn't some secret that couldn't be passed down. Tang Yin really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
Sure enough, after hearing about the top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal, Tang Zhen immediately made the decision.
"Go and fetch the Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal quickly!"
Tang Yin bowed and accepted the order, but added, "Patriarch, don't we need to test the other party's ability?"
"No need, let's show our sincerity first."
Tang Zhen had no intention of going back on his word.
Tang Yin said no more and disappeared from the spot instantly.
On the other side, Han Feng and Tang Lei were chatting.
"Deacon Tang, your monstrous strength is truly rare. Even a Dou Ancestor would probably not dare to withstand it head-on. It must be some kind of special physique, right?"
Tang Lei nodded.
"Grandmaster Han has good eyesight. My body indeed has some secrets. Since I was a child, I have been as strong as an ox and have an amazing appetite. Unfortunately, my Dou Qi cultivation improves too slowly."
If he broke through to Dou Ancestor, his strength would definitely occupy a place among his peers.
The Tang Yin just now was Tang Lei's friend, who had already been a Dou Ancestor expert ten years ago.
Han Feng looked at Tang Lei's body with interest.
This gaze made Tang Lei's body tense subconsciously, especially his buttocks, his muscles tight, not daring to relax at all.
Tang Lei muttered in his heart: Grandmaster Han wouldn't have any special hobbies, right!
"Deacon Tang, why are you suddenly so nervous?"
"N-nothing."
Tang Lei forced a smile.
"It's good that you're fine. Deacon Tang's physique is extraordinary. Now it's just a dragon hiding in the abyss. If you have time in the future, you can come to my place. Maybe you will have new gains."
Han Feng handed Tang Lei a token.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Tang Lei's forehead. He stretched out his broad palm and took it tremblingly.
"Th-thank you, Grandmaster Han."
To save the young miss, he couldn't refuse.
He absolutely couldn't ruin the big event because of him.
Han Feng noticed Tang Lei's abnormality, raised his eyebrows, and a Heart Flame flashed in his eyes.
...
The air suddenly fell silent.
Han Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked away.
Such a burly body, what is going on in his brain?
Fortunately, at this time, Tang Zhen walked over from a distance.
"Grandmaster Han's arrival brings light to my humble dwelling. Tang is honored."
"Valley Master Tang is too polite."
Han Feng returned the greeting.
"Grandmaster Han, rest assured. I have sent someone to fetch the top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal you want. It will arrive shortly."
"Oh?"
Sending the item before the task was done, such enthusiasm was indeed rare.
"Thank you, Valley Master Tang. Han just heard that your daughter suffered a backlash from a Heavenly Flame and was seriously injured. If the Valley Master trusts me, I am willing to try to treat her."
"Good!"
Tang Zhen was overjoyed.
"With Grandmaster Han taking action, my daughter is finally saved!"
Han Feng smiled faintly and didn't say much more.
The three entered the main hall and soon arrived at a heavily guarded bedchamber.
On the bed in the bedchamber lay a pale-faced girl.
The girl was lying quietly at this time, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, seemingly still enduring the pain of the Heavenly Flame backlash.
Han Feng had a deep understanding of the dangers of refining Heavenly Flames.
He had experienced such thrilling moments many times.
Fortunately, he succeeded in all of them, and now an unsuccessful case was displayed before his eyes.
After obtaining Tang Zhen's permission, Han Feng extended his hand and connected his soul power to the girl's body to investigate the situation inside her.
The residual flames of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame were entrenched in the subtle parts of the girl's body. Although controlled by some force, they could not be eradicated.
This was the characteristic of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame itself. After invading the human body, it would give birth to sub-flames and find the most subtle places to take root.
The lightning power attached to it would constantly destroy the meridians. Even if controlled, its power would not cause death, but this pain would last for months or even years.
However, this was already the lightest price.
Devouring a Heavenly Flame, it was normal to die and lose one's cultivation after failure.
For this reason, many powerful cultivators, even if their cultivation could suppress the Heavenly Flame, dared not devour it rashly.
Nothing else, the risks involved were truly daunting.
Only those with firm hearts who would do it no matter what had a glimmer of hope to subdue the Heavenly Flame.
After the preliminary examination, Han Feng withdrew his soul power.
"How is it?"
Seeing this, Tang Zhen asked quickly.
He was also the controller of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. Although it was a sub-flame, he could also mobilize the power of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame's main body with the help of his family's cultivation technique.
The residual flames in Tang Huo'er's body being sealed by a mysterious force was actually Tang Zhen's doing.
"No problem. After I expel the power of the Heavenly Flame in her body and give her two doses of medicine, she will recover."
Han Feng said in a normal tone.
His aura invisibly influenced Tang Zhen, making this worried old father relax a bit.
"Grandmaster Han, even I cannot fully control the power of this Heavenly Flame. For ordinary cultivators, just touching a little bit is extremely troublesome."
Tang Zhen felt he should explain this to Han Feng.
The power of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame was by no means comparable to ordinary flames. Its magic could only be understood by those who had experienced it.
Han Feng raised his hand, and the Sea Heart Flame slowly spread like waves.
Feeling this aura, Tang Zhen was shocked immediately.
"Heavenly Flame!"
He stared blankly at the wave-like flame in Han Feng's hand.
So Grandmaster Han also has a Heavenly Flame...
Han Feng moved his fingertips lightly, and the water-like flame flowed slowly in the air, interweaving into a beautiful picture scroll, and merged into Tang Huo'er's body.
Such strong flame control!
Tang Zhen watched this scene in shock. The fire-controlling technique displayed by Han Feng was shocking even to Tang Zhen.
The Sea Heart Flame had the ability to cleanse, disperse, and purify.
When Han Feng first arrived, he used the Sea Heart Flame to baptize himself.
Azure trickles entered the body through the skin surface. The sub-flames in Tang Huo'er's body, which were originally suppressed, felt the arrival of another Heavenly Flame aura and became restless one after another.
"Not good!"
At this time, Tang Zhen's face changed and he exclaimed.
"I can't suppress the sub-flames in Huo'er's body anymore!"
Boom!
A fierce lightning power accumulated in Tang Huo'er's body. If it exploded, it would probably take Tang Huo'er's life in an instant.
Han Feng looked calm, formed a seal with one hand, and controlled the Sea Heart Flame for further action.
"Sky Sea Divine Light!"
Buzz!
Azure brilliance lit up from within Tang Huo'er's body. Wherever the brilliance passed, even the subtlest parts inside the body were baptized.
The hidden Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, in front of the Sea Heart Flame, only lasted for a few seconds before collapsing completely.
"Gone?"
Tang Zhen felt the disappearance of the sub-flame aura in his daughter's body and said in disbelief.
Although he didn't know how Han Feng did it, the sub-flames in Huo'er's body had indeed disappeared.
In this way, the biggest problem was solved!
Next was to use medicine to nourish her.
Why those seventh-grade alchemists felt Tang Huo'er's matter was difficult was actually because the sub-flames in her body were difficult to remove.
Even with medicine, recovery could not be guaranteed.
Han Feng savored the taste of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame carefully. It was indeed good.
Among the many Heavenly Flames he had subdued, this was the first time he had tasted a lightning attribute Heavenly Flame.
If he had the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame in hand, wouldn't it be more convenient to temper the Sky Demon Puppets usually?
Unfortunately, this flame had an owner and had been injected with too much aura of the Burning Flame Valley's cultivation technique, so it was no longer so pure.
For the direct disciples of the Burning Flame Valley, refining this kind of Heavenly Flame was easier, but it was very difficult to awaken higher-level power.
Han Feng wrote down two prescriptions and gave them to Tang Zhen, asking him to prepare the medicinal ingredients.
Just at this time, Tang Yin arrived with the top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal.
"Tang Yin, hurry up and find these medicinal ingredients. Take as many as there are!"
Tang Zhen handed the prescriptions to the other party.
Too late to rest, Tang Yin continued to accept the order.
"Yes."
"Patriarch, Miss she..."
Before setting off, Tang Yin asked.
"She's fine now. The prescriptions in your hand are for subsequent recovery."
"Really? That's great!"
Tang Yin said excitedly.
Tang Huo'er was not only Tang Zhen's daughter but also the hope of the Tang family.
After all, over the years, Tang Huo'er's talent had been obvious to everyone.
Before attempting to refine the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, actually many people thought Tang Huo'er could succeed. Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable, and refining Heavenly Flames is not child's play.
"I'll go right away!"
Hearing the good news, Tang Yin was very active, even using movement Dou Skills, and quickly swept away into the distance.
By the bedside, Han Feng quietly performed a more detailed diagnosis on Tang Huo'er.
He put his hands on Tang Huo'er's wrist, and his soul power poured into it.
This was a human girl with a very solid foundation. At a young age, she had already reached the peak of Dou Emperor cultivation.
One step further would be a Dou Ancestor expert!
Previously in Beimang City, the Eldest Miss of the Chen family had quite outstanding talent, but she only broke through to Dou Ancestor when she was approaching thirty.
And Tang Huo'er was less than twenty years old.
If she successfully tamed the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, she might have successfully broken through by now.
The ten years in between were not ten years for ordinary people, but ten years for the favored children of heaven.
No one could say clearly how far she could go.
Fortunately, she hadn't been injured for long, and there was hope for recovery.
If it dragged on for a while longer, the result would be hard to say. Nothing else could be guaranteed, but her cultivation aptitude would definitely be affected.
After checking inside and out, Han Feng raised his sword-finger and tapped lightly on Tang Huo'er's chest.
Tang Huo'er, who had been in a coma for many days, let out a slight cough at this time.
Tang Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, trying to help in a flurry, but didn't know where to start.
"Huo'er, Huo'er!"
Under Tang Zhen's call, Tang Huo'er finally regained consciousness.
"Father?"
Tang Huo'er's brain was still in a dazed state. She looked at her father blankly
, then smiled self-mockingly.
"Failed..."
To think she thought she would definitely succeed. Unexpectedly, the result was so miserable.
