Chapter 196 - Chapter 196: Plotting for the Flame

Tang Huo'er tried to mobilize the Dou Qi in her body, but found that under the scouring of Dou Qi, the meridians that had been freely traversed now sent waves of burning pain.

"Don't forcefully circulate your Dou Qi."

A gentle voice came from beside her.

Tang Huo'er opened her eyes and looked at the man standing by the bed.

He had a handsome face, a tall and straight figure, and a gentle temperament like jade in his eyes and brows, like a beautiful man depicted in a painting.

Tang Huo'er's mind was in a trance for a moment, and her original depression dissipated slightly.

"Did you save me?"

Han Feng smiled and nodded.

"You just escaped the danger of the Heavenly Flame backlash, and the meridians in your body are still very fragile. Don't force your Qi."

Tang Huo'er nodded cooperatively.

"Sir, can I still cultivate?"

"Of course. Once your body's injuries are healed, it will be no different from before. Don't worry."

"Okay, thank you, sir."

Tang Huo'er said gratefully.

Recovering from serious injuries, not only her meridians were fragile, but also her mind.

Han Feng's appearance as a healer immediately made Tang Huo'er trust him greatly.

In the past, even if her father preached to her, Tang Huo'er might not listen, but now she was incredibly obedient.

Tang Zhen felt a little jealous in his heart.

It was the first time he had seen his daughter so obedient after growing up.

"Huo'er, rest well. Grandmaster Han will refine pills for you later."

"Mr. Han?"

Tang Huo'er said softly, her eyes staring at Han Feng.

Tang Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly pulled Han Feng away.

"Grandmaster Han, please take a look at these top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals. How are they? Do they meet your requirements?"

Han Feng looked at these Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals. Each one had mature Spirit Flame Marrow inside, undoubtedly top quality.

Unexpectedly, there were seven top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals in the Burning Flame Valley.

Now, the materials for reshaping the Red Emperor Armor were sufficient.

"Thank you, Valley Master Tang. These Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals are exactly what I wanted."

Han Feng unceremoniously collected the seven top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals into his sleeve space.

Tang Zhen's pupils shrank.

Such skillful and exquisite spatial power.

Sure enough, Grandmaster Han is a Dou Venerate expert!

Besides being shocked, Tang Zhen felt a little pained.

After all, these were seven top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals!

But thinking that his daughter had successfully escaped the crisis, he was relieved.

As a father, if he couldn't solve the crisis for her, he would be too derelict in his duty.

"Valley Master Tang."

Han Feng suddenly said at this time.

"I wonder if you still have the idea of letting Miss Tang master the Heavenly Flame again."

"What?!"

Tang Zhen's body shook.

"Grandmaster Han, you mean there is a way for Huo'er to refine the Heavenly Flame again?"

Han Feng nodded and said, "Han has some experience in refining Heavenly Flames."

Tang Zhen fell into thought.

Subconsciously, he felt it was a bit absurd. After all, refining Heavenly Flames had always been a narrow escape from death. How could others help?

But soon, he thought of the Sea Heart Flame in Han Feng's hand.

Grandmaster Han himself had refined Heavenly Flames and had experience.

He was also an eighth-grade alchemist, maybe there really was a way!

"I wonder what reward Grandmaster Han wants?"

Tang Zhen asked.

Han Feng didn't hide it and said frankly, "Han heard that the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is very special, and its source can naturally be divided into nine parts. I want to take one part as a reward."

Hearing this, Tang Zhen's expression changed greatly.

Han Feng immediately said, "Valley Master Tang, don't panic. I just mentioned it casually. As for whether there is this need, it all depends on Valley Master Tang and Miss Tang's meaning."

Tang Zhen coughed twice and said to the guard beside him, "Take Grandmaster Han down to rest first."

"Grandmaster Han, let me think about this matter carefully."

Han Feng nodded and left the main hall with the guard.

Tang Zhen watched Han Feng go away, standing there for a long time without speaking.

In all fairness, he naturally hoped that his daughter could master the Heavenly Flame. After all, this was the inherited flame of the Tang family.

Tang Zhen raised his palm, and a silver flame like lightning ignited from his palm.

As Han Feng said, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame was very special, and the source was not just one part.

The Lightning Flame in Tang Zhen's hand had accompanied him for many years. Nurtured until now, its strength was almost not inferior to the main body.

But after all, this was the inheritance of the Burning Flame Valley. As the Valley Master, how could he let the Burning Flame Valley suffer losses because of his own affairs?

At this time, Tang Lei on the side advised, "Patriarch, I think we should discuss this matter with the clan elders. What if they don't object?"

After all, except for Tang Zhen and that ancestor, no one else could refine this Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. Even Tang Huo'er, who had the best talent, ended in failure.

Exchanging a flame that couldn't be used by the clansmen for Tang Huo'er's growth, Tang Lei felt it was worth it.

Hearing this, Tang Zhen's heart moved slightly.

"Alright, as you say."

"Tang Lei."

"Mm?"

"How many years have you stayed in the Outer Valley?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, it has been ten years."

"Ten years."

Tang Zhen sighed deeply.

"Pack your things tomorrow and come to the Inner Valley to take a post."

Tang Lei's body shook.

Is he being promoted?

Tang Zhen looked at the clansman in front of him and patted his broad shoulder.

"Work hard. Break through to Dou Ancestor as soon as possible so I can entrust you with important tasks."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Tang Lei also left.

In the main hall, only Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er remained.

Tang Zhen walked to Tang Huo'er's bed.

Tang Huo'er didn't hear the conversation just now. Unable to mobilize Dou Qi, she couldn't hear voices from that far away.

"Huo'er."

"What's wrong, Father?"

"Do you want to refine the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame again?"

Tang Zhen asked.

"Father, I have already failed."

Tang Huo'er said dejectedly, "Even if my injuries are fully recovered, I am not confident in refining it."

She had underestimated the power of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, thinking that since her father could do it back then, she could do it too.

"It's just one failure, and you are stumped by this?"

Tang Zhen said.

Tang Huo'er was silent.

"If so, then there is indeed no need to try again."

Tang Zhen sighed.

"You have good talent. After recovering, you can also achieve great things."

"Rest well."

Tang Zhen turned and left.

Three.

Two.

One.

Tang Zhen counted silently in his heart.

"Wait!"

On the bed, the silent Tang Huo'er suddenly shouted.

"Father, I want to try again!"

She was unwilling to give up just like that.

What her father could do, she could do too!

Tang Zhen turned his back to his daughter, and a distinct softness appeared on his dignified face.

"Good, then leave the rest to Father."

——————————

Outside the main hall, Han Feng had not gone far.

Tang Lei came out and just caught up.

"Grandmaster Han, may I venture to ask, can you really help Miss refine the Heavenly Flame?"

Han Feng smiled faintly.

"I have a little confidence. Mainly because the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is a Heavenly Flame specially tamed by your Burning Flame Valley, so there is room for manipulation."

If it were a wild Heavenly Flame, helping others refine it would be almost impossible.

"That's good. The Patriarch is actually a little tempted, but whether he can agree to you depends on the reaction of the clan members."

Tang Lei gave Han Feng a preview.

"Understood. After all, it is an inherited Heavenly Flame."

If it weren't for the fact that evolving the "Flame Mantra" required Heavenly Flames from all over the world, Han Feng wouldn't want to ask.

Valley Master Tang was a kind person. Forcing him like this was indeed a bit immoral.

But it's a transaction.

Mutual consent couldn't be called coercion.

Han Feng just grasped the soft part in the heart of Tang Zhen, the old father—Tang Huo'er.

For his daughter, even the hardest shield would break without attack.

Even Tang Zhen had to turn around and stimulate his daughter's fighting spirit, but kept silent about the price paid for this, for fear of affecting his daughter's mentality.

The two bid farewell outside the hall.

Tang Lei was promoted this time, transferred from the Outer Valley to the Inner Valley, which could be considered a breakthrough.

As for cultivation, just improve slowly.

Regarding the "entrusting important tasks" Tang Zhen mentioned, Tang Lei himself didn't hold any huge extravagant hopes.

Because he knew very well that he was still far from breaking through to Dou Ancestor.

Tang Lei looked at the Sea Heart Token in his hand, thinking that if Grandmaster Han could solve Miss's problem this time, then visiting him later to research his body wouldn't be impossible to consider.

——————————

At night, Han Feng sat in a luxurious guest room in the Burning Flame Valley, breathing in the Qi of heaven and earth to improve his cultivation.

After circulating twenty-four Great Zhou Skies, Han Feng calmed his Qi.

The fire attribute energy in the Burning Flame Valley was very abundant, gentle, and pure, and could be directly absorbed by cultivators.

For a force with a long heritage, just the cultivation environment was a hundred times better than other places.

After his breath stabilized, Han Feng took out the top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal.

Reshaping the Red Emperor Armor required refining the Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal into liquid and using the softest and most delicate form to repair, engrave, and shape it.

It was very difficult for ordinary flames to refine Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals, especially top-quality spirit crystals, whose affinity for fire had reached a rare height.

This meant that it could maintain its form in flames, difficult to shake even for high-level beast fires.

Fortunately, Han Feng possessed Heavenly Flames.

Six different colored flames merged at the Dantian, then rushed out from Han Feng's palm along the meridians.

Violent high temperature engulfed the Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal. Six different forces worked together, affecting the stable structure of the Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal.

Finally, a drop of pure crimson liquid dripped from the spirit crystal.

Han Feng extended his other hand, Dou Qi flowing in his palm, and gently caught this drop of crimson liquid.

The crimson liquid droplet slowly rotated with the Dou Qi, dragging into a slender red thread.

Han Feng flicked his finger, and this red thread flew into the Red Emperor Armor, staying at its damaged part.

According to the refining structure in the atlas, Han Feng's soul power broke out of his body, turning into a tool capable of fine manipulation, carving and fiddling with the slender red thread.

The completion process of the Red Emperor Armor was quite complicated. Han Feng repeated this action over and over again.

The sound of flames roasting, the sound of crystal liquefying and dripping.

Time passed slowly.

Until dawn, red lines had covered the right half of the arm armor of the Red Emperor Armor.

Han Feng put away the flames. The originally large piece of Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystal now only had a small half left.

The consumption rate of this material slightly exceeded Han Feng's estimate.

Unexpectedly, repairing the Red Emperor Armor would be so troublesome.

But fortunately, there were still many top-quality Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals, enough to use.

As long as the Red Emperor Armor returned to the ninth grade, Han Feng's combat power would skyrocket.

Even facing a real Dou Saint, he would have the power to fight.

Han Feng got up, opened the door, and walked out of the house.

The sunshine was just right today.

At this time, Tang Yin was already waiting in the hall. Seeing Han Feng come out, he immediately walked up.

"Grandmaster Han."

"So early?"

"I came to deliver medicinal ingredients to you. Everything written on your prescription is ready."

Tang Yin respectfully handed a storage ring to Han Feng.

"Hard work."

Han Feng's soul power swept over the storage ring and checked the types of medicinal ingredients.

"Mm, the quality of the medicinal ingredients is very good. Refining can begin today."

"I wonder where the pill refining room is?"

Tang Yin was shocked. So fast?

"I'll take you there right away!"

The two came to a flat ground in the back mountain. The floors here were built very low. The four corner eaves were golden yellow and upturned. Wisps of crimson flames were drawn from underground, sprayed out from the eaves, and gathered on the roof, forming a cyclical energy transmission structure.

The special environment of the Burning Flame Valley could continuously use the advantages of the terrain to gather various flame powers.

"This is the Earth Fire Building. Alchemists can use Earth Fire to refine pills. The effect is stronger than ordinary beast fires."

Tang Yin introduced.

"However, Grandmaster Han possesses Heavenly Flames, so you probably won't fancy these."

"Not at all. I am quite curious about the power of this Earth Fire."

Han Feng said.

Although Earth Fire was not as good as Heavenly Flames, it was also a special flame. Compared with beast fires, it won in endurance and heaviness.

"This is it, Grandmaster Han."

Tang Yin chose a pill refining room with the best geographical location and guided.

Han Feng nodded and walked into the room.

Rumble.

The heavy door closed slowly. Inside the room, a ball of dark red flame ignited from underground.

Is this the Earth Fire of the Burning Flame Valley?

Han Feng gathered his eyesight and pierced through the land below.

Wisps of flame energy climbed up. The source tinder was buried in the deepest part of the underground.

A moment later, Han Feng smiled lightly.

It turned out to be mobilized from the Blazing Fire Mountain Range outside. The source of this small ball of Earth Fire was the power of a whole volcano.

It was also ingenious.

The Mysterious Yellow Flame in Han Feng's hand shook slightly, and this ball of Earth Fire flew over obediently, allowing Han Feng to control it.

"Let's begin."

Taking out the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, Han Feng concentrated on refining pills for healing Tang Huo'er.

Considering that he might have to help Tang Huo'er refine the Heavenly Flame later, other pills also had to be prepared for emergencies.

Three days passed quietly.

At this moment, the Elder Pavilion of the Burning Flame Valley.

Tang Zhen was negotiating with a group of elders.

"No!"

"The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is the inherited flame of my Burning Flame Valley. How can it be given to others?"

"Not even a wisp, a trace!"

"That's not true. If it can be exchanged for Huo'er mastering the Heavenly Flame, I think it's not impossible."

"Muddled! Who knows what intentions the other party harbors!"

"That's true. Whether the other party is trustworthy is still a question that needs to be examined."

"Have you ever thought about it? If it fails again this time, does Huo'er still have a chance to survive?"

The elders discussed heatedly, one after another.

"Tang Zhen, what do you think?"

The elders looked at the person who brought this up and asked together.

Tang Zhen looked around and said, "This is Huo'er's choice, and also my choice."

"Huo'er is unwilling to give up, and neither am I!"

"Everyone, although the Heavenly Flame is important, outstanding juniors are the key to the inheritance of the Burning Flame Valley."

"As for whether Grandmaster Han is credible, just look at the effect of his treatment."

Speaking of this, the look in Tang Zhen's eyes condensed, lightning and fire interweaving.

"If he deceived me, I, Tang Zhen, swear that I will not let him go!"
