On the small path in the bamboo forest of Feng City, Han Feng and Ye Qingyun were walking leisurely.
Having handled the affairs in the city and explained the follow-up matters, they just had to wait to depart.
"Xian'er has already broken through to Dou Ancestor?"
When Ye Qingyun heard Han Feng mention this news, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"That's really amazing; Xian'er is already ahead of me."
Ye Qingyun lamented.
"After all, she has the Woeful Poison Body, and her cultivation improves very quickly. If not for practicing the 'Poison Pill Method', she might have broken through to Dou Ancestor even earlier."
Lin Xian'er had followed Han Feng in cultivation since childhood, bathing in top-notch foundation-building medicines without lack. Her enlightenment point in cultivation was definitely earlier than in her previous life.
But Han Feng had been restraining her absorption of poison, slowing down the maturation speed of the Woeful Poison Body. It wasn't until she broke through to Dou Ancestor that the girl was completely liberated.
Perhaps because of this reason, she said those words to him that day.
"I feel that I have also reached a critical point. This time going to the Flower Sect, I will start preparing for the breakthrough."
Ye Qingyun said.
"I'll accompany you this time. I haven't seen Aunt Flower for a long time either."
Han Feng said.
The two arrived in front of the bamboo building and rested for a while.
Han Feng opened the secret realm and called Lin Xian'er out.
"Aunt Ye?"
Seeing Ye Qingyun, Lin Xian'er's eyes lit up.
"You're back?"
"En, congratulations, Xian'er, for finally breaking through to Dou Ancestor."
Ye Qingyun said with a smile.
Lin Xian'er smiled gently.
"Aunt Ye is now also at the peak of Dou Emperor; presumably, your promotion will be soon too, right?"
Although for ordinary Dou Emperors, advancing to Dou Ancestor is something that requires both talent and luck to reach their peak values to complete.
But for this group of people around Han Feng, breaking through to Dou Ancestor couldn't be easier.
Even if talent is not enough, pills can make up for this gap.
Not to mention Ye Qingyun has a powerful physique. What she needs to consider for breaking through to Dou Ancestor is how to maximize benefits, not how to speed up.
"We will set off later, pick up Qing Lin, and go to the Central Plains together."
Han Feng took a sip of tea and said.
He had been in seclusion for two years, and many things had happened outside. Just confined to the Northwest Continent, there were so many changes, not to mention the vast and resourceful Central Plains.
The three packed up briefly and gathered in the courtyard.
With a wave of Han Feng's hand, a stable spatial wormhole appeared before their eyes.
Rich spatial power flickered. Lin Xian'er reached out her hand, experiencing the feeling of spatial power flowing in her hand for the first time.
This is the authority of a Dou Ancestor, possessing a natural affinity for space.
"We are not taking the spirit boat this time. Remember to follow behind me."
Han Feng said.
He took a step forward, and the two women followed.
Disordered spatial power exploded before their eyes, like the huge mouth of an abyss, sucking in various energies and then gushing them out all at once.
Lin Xian'er subconsciously covered her face. Without the protection of the flying spirit boat, this was the first time the two women directly faced the horror of spatial turbulence.
In this high-level spatial wormhole, the intensity of spatial turbulence had risen to a level enough to threaten a Dou Venerate.
Back then, Han Feng used his soul body to search for clues of Yao Chen in the spatial turbulence. Afterward, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma, almost never waking up.
But today is different from the past.
Han Feng stood in front of the two women, easily blocking all spatial turbulence.
"So magical. It feels completely different from standing on the boat and watching before."
Lin Xian'er exclaimed.
"In the endless void, this kind of spatial turbulence is very common. If you want to explore there in the future, you have to start adapting gradually now."
Han Feng said.
Why is it generally said that only Dou Venerate powerhouses possess the qualification to roam the endless void? This is the simplest reason.
Ordinary Dou Ancestors simply do not have the ability to preserve themselves under spatial turbulence.
"Master, are you going to the endless void in the future?"
Lin Xian'er asked.
Han Feng nodded.
Seeing this, Lin Xian'er clenched her fist.
"Alright, then I will hone my spatial power starting today!"
Han Feng smiled.
"Don't rush. If you want to go there, at least wait until you break through to Dou Venerate."
You are not an Ancient Void Dragon, born with super strong spatial affinity.
Just a little Dou Ancestor who has just entered this path.
Lin Xian'er snorted softly and said confidently: "Master, don't underestimate me. Now that I have finished cultivating the 'Poison Pill Method', isn't it easy to improve my cultivation?"
"Oh right, Master, the Emperor Python Heart-Eating Poison you promised me before..."
Lin Xian'er grinned, gesturing with both hands.
Han Feng shook his head.
"Look, rushing again."
"How many times have I told you? Don't be overly hasty in cultivation. The grade of the Emperor Python Heart-Eating Poison is very high. Even if you can absorb it now, it will take a lot of time."
"Do what suits the stage. High-grade poisons can completely be absorbed when you advance to Dou Venerate or even Dou Saint."
"The road must be walked step by step."
Han Feng said earnestly.
One Ten Thousand Poison Returning Origin Pill directly raised Lin Xian'er to Three-Star Dou Ancestor, already far surpassing other cultivators who advanced to Dou Ancestor.
Lin Xian'er nodded sullenly.
"Master, if you go to the endless void then, remember to tell me."
"Okay, I will definitely tell you."
Han Feng said helplessly.
Being stuck with a disciple who was bent on "overriding the master and destroying the ancestors", she was really not cute like when she was little at all.
While talking, the three had already crossed a distance of tens of thousands of miles and arrived at the Sky Serpent Mansion.
Since the three were already frequent visitors here, the deacon directly led them into the mansion.
A moment later, Qing Lin flew out from the inner hall of the Sky Serpent Mansion and rushed towards Han Feng and the others.
In two years, the little girl had grown taller again, becoming more and more beautiful. Her slender figure was not inferior to Ye Qingyun.
"Qing Lin."
Ye Qingyun missed her daughter very much upon seeing her.
Seeing that her daughter had grown much taller, almost catching up with herself, Ye Qingyun felt a burst of emotion in her heart.
Mother and daughter standing together now looked completely like sisters.
"Growing so fast. In the blink of an eye, you've caught up with Mother."
Ye Qingyun smiled.
"Mother."
Qing Lin hugged Ye Qingyun tightly, feeling the familiar aura, and felt peace in her heart.
"You've already broken through to Dou Emperor?"
"En, Seven-Star Dou Emperor, thanks to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons Uncle Han gave me."
Qing Lin said.
The Jade Snake Three-Flower Pupils can absorb the cultivation within snake magical beasts. Now, almost half of the Dou Qi cultivated daily by those two Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons is absorbed by Qing Lin.
Plus other snake magical beasts, Qing Lin's cultivation improved very rapidly. Now she is only two stars away from Ye Qingyun's realm.
"My daughter is really amazing."
Ye Qingyun praised.
At the same time, the desire for cultivation was also aroused in her heart.
Must hurry up and improve. If I don't break through to Dou Ancestor, I will soon be caught up by my daughter.
Having an overly excellent daughter is sometimes also a kind of pressure.
Feeling joy for her growth, yet not wanting to become a mother who cannot help her daughter so quickly.
"Sister Xian'er, you... broke through to Dou Ancestor?"
Qing Lin walked up to Lin Xian'er and soon sensed the different realm fluctuations from her.
"Just broke through not long ago."
Lin Xian'er gestured the position against Qing Lin's forehead, then used her fingers to mark a distance.
"Qing Lin, in two years, you have grown so much taller; Sister remembers very clearly."
Lin Xian'er said with a smile.
"In another two years, maybe I'll be taller than Sister."
Qing Lin said playfully.
Lin Xian'er glared with her beautiful eyes.
"Little girl, it seems you have indeed grown up."
Lin Xian'er reached out to grab Qing Lin's waist, and Qing Lin immediately let out a silver bell-like laugh.
"Don't grab, it tickles!"
On the other side of the mansion gate, Han Feng was talking with Gong Wan, the Mansion Master of the Sky Serpent Mansion.
"I have been paying attention to the Black-Corner Region these years, and I also understand the recent events. Mr. Han's methods are impressive."
Gong Wan said.
A few years ago, the Sky Serpent Mansion led the Sky Serpent Empire to start a series of trade activities with the Black-Corner Region, promoting the economic development of the southern cities of the Black-Corner Region.
Now the Sky Serpent Mansion also has significant interests in the Black-Corner Region.
In the past month, Han Feng purged the City Lords of major cities in the Black-Corner Region, eliminated a large number of people with bad conduct, and replaced them with direct descendants from Canaan College, completing the transformation of high-level personnel in the Black-Corner Region with minimal cost.
In a few years, when the students from Canaan College grow into independent powerhouses, all cities in the Black-Corner Region will be truly connected with Feng City.
The Black-Corner Region at that time will be a unified country.
"Not worth mentioning. I just hope the future of the Black-Corner Region can become somewhat different."
Han Feng said.
"How does the Mansion Master find Qing Lin's performance these years?"
Hearing this, Gong Wan smiled: "To be honest, far beyond my expectations."
"After inheriting the legacy of the Jade Snake Three-Flower Pupils, Qing Lin can already proficiently use various pupil techniques. In just two years, improving from Dou King to Seven-Star Dou Emperor, no one in the Sky Serpent Mansion is more excellent than her."
If previously Gong Wan still needed to worry about how to cultivate her to break through to Dou Venerate and become the future pillar of the Sky Serpent Mansion.
Then Qing Lin's performance in these two years made Gong Wan feel that she could completely close her eyes and let Qing Lin cultivate on her own, which would be enough to break through to Dou Venerate.
"Speaking of which, there are quite a few elders in the mansion who want to arrange a match for Qing Lin."
"Oh? There is such a thing?"
Gong Wan nodded with a smile: "However, this girl Qing Lin seems to have no interest in those young talents in the mansion."
"She refused many times, but found she couldn't stop those matchmakers who wanted to come to her door, so she simply went into seclusion in the ancestral land. She didn't come out until you arrived."
Hearing this, Han Feng lamented: "Qing Lin's charm is really not small. But it makes sense; for such a beautiful little girl, it is normal for someone to like her."
"But I think this kind of thing still depends on her own willingness. The matchmaking of elders can only provide her with some choices. The final decision depends on Qing Lin herself."
"I think so too."
Gong Wan nodded.
Actually, if Qing Lin had no background, perhaps combining with an outstanding man in the mansion would also be a good thing.
Possessing such an excellent bloodline, if it falls into the hands of others, it would be a huge loss for the Sky Serpent Mansion.
Historically, almost no Saintess has married outside.
This is also why so many elders came to propose marriage.
If Qing Lin marries a man in the mansion, maybe she can give birth to new descendants with Jade Snake Three-Flower Pupils in the future, adding new strength to the next generation of the sect.
More importantly, this can firmly hold Qing Lin in the hands of the sect. In the future, she will be the Mansion Master, and her husband will be an elder, supporting each other, which couldn't be more appropriate.
Now Qing Lin is still young and already has such outstanding performance. When she grows to the later stage, there probably won't be any man in the mansion who can match her.
At that time, if Qing Lin travels outside, meets a more outstanding and powerful genius, and runs away with someone else, the Sky Serpent Mansion's inheritance issue will face a series of disturbances again.
Of course, all premises for these considerations are that Qing Lin has no powerful background.
If she were all alone, and the Sky Serpent Mansion raised her, her affairs would naturally be decided by the Sky Serpent Mansion, allowing no interference from others.
But since there is someone behind Qing Lin, and a powerful mighty figure at that, everything is naturally a different matter.
After knowing that there is a powerful cultivator like Han Feng behind her, those forceful marriage-forcing actions have been silently blocked by Gong Wan.
The Sky Serpent Mansion cannot afford the price of offending Han Feng.
Unless Qing Lin herself likes a young talent in the mansion, Gong Wan will not deliberately try to bring them together.
In any case, this is her disciple, the Saintess of the Sky Serpent Mansion. No matter where she goes in the future, maintaining this relationship is beneficial and harmless to herself and the Sky Serpent Mansion.
The two continued to talk for a while. When the noise of playing over there died down, Han Feng got up to take his leave.
"Mansion Master, then we are ready to set off."
Gong Wan got up and returned the greeting.
"Mr. Han, if Qing Lin cultivates to the peak of Dou Emperor outside, please ask her to come back before breaking through to Dou Ancestor."
"The Saintess breaking through to Dou Ancestor is a major event in the mansion, requiring the blessing of various ritual formations to advance perfectly."
Han Feng nodded.
"At that time, I will personally send her back to help Qing Lin advance perfectly together."
The two came to the other side. Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin had stopped teasing and were sitting together chatting.
"Qing Lin."
"Teacher."
Gong Wan said: "Set off with your family. Have fun."
"Thank you, Teacher. Goodbye, Teacher!"
Qing Lin waved her hand happily and ran towards the outside of the Sky Serpent Mansion gate.
Han Feng nodded slightly, bid farewell to Gong Wan, then opened a spatial curtain and led the three women into it.
"Han Feng... is truly a formidable person."
Gong Wan whispered.
She had learned about his experience rising in the Black-Corner Region; the whole process could be called legendary.
In the first half of his life, he achieved fame and success, established Feng City, laid the foundation for his career, and became the famous Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region.
In the following ten-plus years, his cultivation improved rapidly, at a speed so fast it was inconceivable.
With a casual move, he unified the entire Black-Corner Region and changed the pattern of the chaotic land.
Up to now, Gong Wan can no longer see through his aura at all.
Sometimes, even a Dou Venerate like her who considers herself reasonably strong has to admit that there are always more excellent geniuses in the world.
Perhaps they were once ordinary, but as long as they are given a chance, they can achieve accomplishments unimaginable to ordinary people in an extremely short time.
