Chapter 240: Han Feng of the Mystical Flame Pill Tower! Crisis Begins to Show (Part 1)
"Just, why would it be like this?"
"Truly, the lingering soul does not disperse."
Bang!
She pressed her fingertip, and the pill instantly shattered.
"Since it's like this, then... let's put an end to it."
"Someone!"
With a low voice, two elders immediately entered, bowing respectfully: "Revered One."
"Find out for me."
"Check if any power has recently released high-quality pills. If so, buy two and bring them back, quickly!"
"Yes!"
The two elders immediately left and began their task.
The Mystical Flame Pill Tower was extremely powerful in the Northeastern Region, long holding the position of 'Alchemy Prodigy,' revered by many powers.
Moreover, the strength of its disciples was not weak, thus its status was very high, and its network of relationships was extremely complex!
In the other six regions and one state, its influence might not be that high, but within the Northeastern Region, its 'network of connections' and intelligence network were extremely effective.
In just a short time, they successfully found many clues and bought back quite a few pills.
Afterward, the two returned to report.
"Revered One."
They knelt on one knee, presenting several jade bottles: "These pills are what we have purchased."
"Most of them come from other decent alchemy sects and powers in the Northeastern region, and there is also a rising independent cultivator, whose pills are quite good."
"This bottle contains the pills refined by that independent cultivator."
"Oh?"
With a wave of her hand, the jade bottle flew into her hand.
As for the other pills, she didn't even glance at them.
Opening the jade bottle, she took out the pills inside.
The anticipation on her face instantly vanished.
Bang.
Without changing her expression, she lightly waved her hand, and the pills, along with the jade bottle, turned to dust. She slightly lowered her head, looking at the two: "Just these?"
She was more familiar and knowledgeable about those alchemy powers than anyone else.
It was certainly impossible that they were the ones she was looking for.
But since such pills had appeared, it meant there must be a source!
"Only these."
One of the elders pondered and said: "The famous ones, the ones we could buy, we have all brought back."
"There is one more!"
The other elder suddenly had an idea: "In the Immortal City controlled by the Sea Family, there seems to be a specialty shop that has risen in the past two years, selling high-quality pills, and with a decent output."
"Each time they open for sales, almost all the pills are snatched up instantly."
"Open one day, rest one month."
"This time, I went there, but not even one pill was left."
"Moreover, since it's within the Sea Family's territory, I couldn't directly use any means."
"!"
The woman's eyes narrowed slightly. Although it was just a few words, she had a nearly terrifying intuition.
"Find out!"
"Find out who bought their pills, no matter who it is, bring back a few for me. This matter is extremely important and cannot be allowed to fail. You must handle it personally."
The two elders exchanged a glance, both feeling their scalps tingle.
"Yes, Revered One!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Done!"
Ya Ya caressed the ghost face mask, half-crying, half-laughing, and whispered to herself.
In the previous battle of the Ri Yue Immortal Dynasty, she was heavily injured.
After returning, she had almost been healing her injuries continuously.
After the healing ended, she thought about the severe damage to the Bronze Immortal Temple, the fragments of the Ascension Cauldron, and the remains of the crown in her possession, suddenly feeling a sense of 'fate.'
She then used the fragments of three imperial armaments to refine, ultimately forming this ghost face mask.
Her refining technique was very crude.
It wasn't even proper refining; she just used special means to melt the fragments together.
However, due to the special nature of the materials, even with such a crude method, this mask was still extraordinary, much like the mask of the ruthless female emperor in the novel "Veil the Sky and Sun."
"Brother."
Wearing the mask, Ya Ya's longing for her brother reached its peak.
But a moment later, she took it off and put it away.
"One day, I will bring you back."
"But not now; I don't have the strength yet."
"From now on, I will always be by Master's side and continuously improve my strength, not for immortality, but to bring you back one day."
She sighed lightly.
She buried her longing for her brother deep in her heart and showed a sweet smile.
"From today onward, I am just Master's disciple, a little helper, nothing more."
She didn't want to be filled with deep enmity and sorrow every day; that was too bitter!
Although the ruthless female emperor was like that, she ultimately wasn't that ruthless female emperor in the story.
She wasn't alone either.
Perhaps, she didn't even need to live through a second or third life...
Because she still had Master.
She had elder brothers, sisters, and so many fellow disciples to help her.
.
Since that was the case, why be so desperate and self-imprison?
?
?
?
?
her longing for her brother couldn't be forgotten, it must be remembered always, but it couldn't be shown on her face, causing those who cared about her to worry.
't.
This matter, buried in her heart would suffice.
And now...
She stood up and headed to the Moon Embrace Palace.
Thinking that she would stay there, servingMaster with tea and water, taking care of his daily needs.
After all, Master was at least a sect master and couldn't do everything himself, right?
But...
When she arrived at the Moon Embrace Palace, she was suddenly taken aback.
"Who are you? "
The Holy Maiden sisters were guarding the entrance!
Their exotic features left Ya Ya puzzled.
"Miss Ya Ya."
The two women hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Miss Yun'er has mentioned you, we are the master's maidens, here..."
Ya Ya: "..."
Her smile gradually fadedaway.
She even had the urge to immediately put on the mask.
So, is it really that ruthless female emperor's nature suits her better?
But then, she shook her head.
No, it’s not like that!
Absolutely not!
A maid?
Just an outsider!
How can an outsider take care of me better than myself?
She nodded in acknowledgment and then strode into the Moon Embrace Sect.
I’m not leaving here~
I don’t believe Master would drive me away.
...
Feeling all of this, Lin Fan felt a bit uneasy.
"Does this feel like a battlefield of asuras?"
"But that’s not right."
"One side is my disciple, the other is a maid..."
"Right."
"What am I panicking about?!"
"Don’t panic, don’t panic!"
"..."
...
"Revered One."
Inside the Inferno Pill Tower.
Two elders returned, bringing a pill: "This is the pill sold by the Liu Family Pill Shop. We tracked it for a long time and found an unsworn cultivator who still had an un consumed pill."
The revered one glanced at it and narrowed her eyes.
Taking the pill, she remained expressionless and said, "What happened to that unsworn cultivator?"
"He is already..."
The elder on the left made a cutting motion across his neck.
"Good job."
"There’s a reward."
"Thank you, Revered One!"
Seeing this, the elder on the right hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Revered One, do you need information on the Liu Family?"
"Speak!"
"Yes, Revered One."
"The Liu Family is one of the three major families in the Southwestern Domain of Hongwu Immortal City, with the strongest cultivator being a Seventh Stage practitioner."
"These three families have been in conflict for tens of thousands of years, and despite the ebb and flow of power, they have maintained a basic balance."
"Until a few years ago, when a sudden change occurred."
"The Liu Family rose unexpectedly, forcefully suppressing the other two major families. Now, the remaining members of those two families are barely surviving."
"The root cause of all this is the Moon Embrace Sect!"
"The Moon Embrace Sect?"
The revered one muttered, then nodded, gesturing for him to continue.
"Yes, the very Moon Embrace Sect that recently battled the Ri Yue Immortal Dynasty and emerged victorious."
"Because the Moon Embrace Sect’s master’s personal disciple, Xiao Ling Er, is a prodigy in alchemy who won the Hongwu Immortal City Alchemy Tournament, gaining fame."
"Initially, when the Liu Family allied with the Moon Embrace Sect, no one took it seriously."
"But at some point, the Liu Family’s strength began to surge rapidly. The other two major families gradually realized the severity of the situation and began to secretly investigate. They ultimately discovered that the Moon Embrace Sect, relying on Xiao Ling Er’s alchemy skills, was constantly providing high-quality pills to the Liu Family, leading to..."
The elder spoke calmly but clearly, recounting the information he had gathered.
From the alliance between the Moon Embrace Sect and the Liu Family, to the conflict among the three major families, and their eventual alliance with the Bright Moon Sect.
In the end, after two major battles, the two major families, who should have emerged victorious, fell.
Meanwhile, the Liu Family, which should have fallen, soared.
Afterward, the remaining members of the two major families, in their anger, exposed everything. Only then did others realize that the Liu Family’s rapid rise was due to the high-quality pills provided by the Moon Embrace Sect.
Thus, the matter gradually came to light.
Afterward, the Liu Family no longer pretended.
They opened a pill shop and sold pills.
Relying on the reputation gained from that battle, they didn’t need to advertise; simply labeling the pills as produced by Xiao Ling Er of the Moon Embrace Sect was enough to bring in substantial profits, leading to further rapid development.
Of course, this was done with Lin Fan’s permission.
In Lin Fan’s view, since the news had already leaked, it was better to openly capitalize on it and earn more money.
After all, Xiao Ling Er couldn’t hide her reputation as a prodigy alchemist or the fact that she possessed an unusual flame, which had already spread widely. There was no point in pretending otherwise.
Gradually, the Liu Family expanded their business into the northeastern domain of the Sea Family.
A few years later, it became the present situation.
Now!
Many things happened during this period, but the Liu Family’s story can be summed up in one sentence: they made a fortune and soared.
In a few years, they achieved what might have taken them hundreds or even thousands of years to accomplish!
After listening to this information, the revered one played with the pill. "So, everything originates from the Moon Embrace Sect."
"The Moon Embrace Sect... Xiao Ling Er."
She murmured, "How much information do we have on Xiao Ling Er?"
"Xiao Ling Er comes from a branch of the Xiao Family in the Northern Domain of the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty."
The elder, well-prepared, immediately straightened up and said, "This branch was originally insignificant within the Xiao Family, with the strongest cultivator only reaching the Fourth or Fifth Stage."
"Xiao Ling Er became famous as a young prodigy, being the top genius in a small city, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly became a waste, losing her title as a genius and even regressing in cultivation."
"Later, due to internal issues within the Xiao Family, Xiao Ling Er’s parents died, and she broke ties with the Xiao Family and was pursued."
"But at the time, despite only being at the Third Layer of the Opening Mystic Realm, she managed to escape and traveled billions of miles to the Southwestern Domain, joining the Moon Embrace Sect on the day they opened their doors."
"After that, she seemed to reclaim her title as a genius, beginning her ‘defying the heavens’ journey. Not long after joining, she won the alchemy tournament, and within a year, she defeated the Sword Son of the Spirit Sword Sect in a battle, emerging victorious..."
"After that, she continued to advance rapidly, and perhaps, Revered One, you have heard of her as well."
"Indeed."
The revered one nodded slightly. "I have indeed heard of her."
"But..."
"From the Northern Domain, the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty."
"So, it’s her!"
At this moment, she couldn’t help but think back to many years ago, the first and only time she visited the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty.
At that time, an Unusual Flame appeared in the world.
I, who had not yet graduated from my Teacher's tutelage, followed that old guy to obtain the Unusual Flame, but after that...
"It's just that, in that situation, you were actually able to leave behind a legacy?"
"It seems your soul is still lingering."
"However, this also confirms that Xiao Ling'er is indeed your successor, in other words... my little Junior Sister?"
"Hehehe."
She laughed.
Her face was filled with madness and ferocity, no longer the previous calm and composed demeanor.
"My dear... little Junior Sister."
"You... actually obtained the Flame Destruction Art?"
She wasn't a fool; if she were, she wouldn't have reached her current status and wouldn't possess the identity, position, and strength she has today.
Through intelligence and her own understanding, combined with rumors from the outside world, she could easily piece everything together.
Apparently, after that battle, the old guy died, but for some reason, he left behind a legacy, and it was right within the borders of the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty! But this legacy was a thousand transformations technique, and it was only after Xiao Ling'er obtained it by chance ten years ago, perhaps because of her obsession with alchemy, that her cultivation regressed, causing people to consider her a useless waste!
After that, Xiao Ling'er joined the Moon Embrace Sect in the Southwestern Domain, obtained the Earth Heart Flame, and put alchemy on her agenda, thus restoring her reputation as a prodigy, and she advanced rapidly until the present.
Combining this with the news about Xiao Ling'er over the years...
She had several Unusual Flames!
She possessed several invincible techniques for controlling Unusual Flames, one like the sun and another like a lotus formed by combining various Unusual Flames...
Putting all this together, it wasn't difficult to guess.
Apparently!
Xiao Ling'er obtained the old guy's legacy, and even the Flame Destruction Art was in her hands; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to control so many Unusual Flames or possess those invincible techniques.
"Old guy, oh old guy."
The Venerable Han stroked his forehead, his face filled with a sinister smile, and he muttered, "Back then, I followed you for a thousand years, serving you diligently and tirelessly."
"You also said that my talent for alchemy was the best you had ever seen, and it was precisely because of this that you accepted me as your personal disciple."
"But the Flame Destruction Art, I wanted it for nearly a thousand years, yet you never gave it to me."
"I never thought that after your death, you would pass it on to a stranger, my little Junior Sister. Haha, it's truly... hahahaha!"
She laughed so hard that tears came to her eyes.
She became even more crazed.
"However, it's good."
"I've been searching for it all these years without success, thinking that you had already destroyed the Flame Destruction Art. I never imagined that it would be in the hands of my dear little Junior Sister."
"In that case, I'll find her and 'clean up the mess', and at the same time, take back the Flame Destruction Art. Only then will I be at ease."
After whispering to herself, she calmed down completely, lightly tapping the armrest of her chair as she pondered carefully.
"Killing Xiao Ling'er is easy.
