Early the next morning.
The bamboo pavilion was very quiet.
Everyone had gone out on missions, so only Han Feng and Zi Yan stayed here.
Sunlight filtered through the curtains, sprinkling on the large white bed.
Zi Yan woke up in Han Feng's room.
She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and stretched her body, which could already be called enchanting.
"Eh? Where is Han Feng?"
Zi Yan looked around and found that Han Feng was gone.
Last night, she rarely spent a night alone with Han Feng.
Without the disturbance of Xian'er and the others, Zi Yan took the opportunity to ask Han Feng for many pills.
As a result, she fell asleep while eating.
Zi Yan glanced at the bedside, casually picked up a jade bottle, and poured it into her mouth.
Gulp gulp.
Pills fell into Zi Yan's abyssal mouth one by one and were refined in the blink of an eye.
The stomach of the Ancient Void Dragon was truly terrifyingly large.
Only these pills full of energy essence could fill her stomach.
After eating and drinking her fill, Zi Yan still didn't get out of bed. She rolled around on the big bed, amusing herself.
"So boring."
Zi Yan suddenly lay flat, looking at the simple ceiling.
Han Feng's room was always so simple.
Feeling the quiet air around, only the rustling of the bamboo forest outside the window could be heard.
Everyone went out.
Zi Yan thought.
Wonder when Han Feng will take her to Jia Nan Academy.
Adults are always busy with this and that.
When she becomes the Dragon King that Old Man Zhu Li talked about, will she be this busy too?
Creak.
The door was pushed open, and Han Feng walked in.
He glanced at Zi Yan lying on the bed, messing up her quilt, and said, "Get up quickly."
Bang!
Zi Yan jumped up with a flip and got off the bed.
"Han Feng, when did you leave?"
"What do you mean when did I leave?"
"Last night."
"I left when you fell asleep."
Han Feng said.
Zi Yan rubbed her head: "I thought you slept here too."
The corner of Han Feng's mouth twitched slightly.
"How did you sleep last night?"
"It was okay, just felt not full."
Zi Yan covered her stomach, which made a gurgling sound.
Han Feng looked at Zi Yan's abdomen and was not surprised.
Zi Yan was now in a critical period of transformation.
The large number of precious medicines taken on the East Dragon Island accumulated a large amount of essence in her body.
But with Zi Yan's current cultivation, it was difficult to refine completely.
Although this essence was precious, if it accumulated in the body for a long time, it would also become a burden.
Perhaps the elders of the East Dragon Island were too anxious to make Zi Yan stronger, thus ignoring this point.
So Han Feng stimulated Zi Yan's body with eighth-grade pills yesterday to make her enter a state of rapid digestion.
"Did you have this feeling on the East Dragon Island?"
Zi Yan shook her head.
"It's okay, this is a normal phenomenon. It will be fine in a few days."
Zi Yan nodded.
"Han Feng, when are you taking me to Jia Nan Academy?"
"Now."
Han Feng folded the quilt, flicked it gently to smooth out the wrinkles on the sheet.
Zi Yan washed up hurriedly, then walked to the front yard of the bamboo pavilion, rushed up, and hugged Han Feng's arm.
"Ready to set off!"
Han Feng raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
Space flickered, and the two disappeared in front of the bamboo pavilion, arriving at the Inner Courtyard the next instant.
"Finally back!"
Zi Yan let go of Han Feng and cheered in the courtyard.
"Been gone for so long, nothing much changed here."
Han Feng walked to the pond and looked at the neatly trimmed flowers and plants.
"Someone is taking care of them regularly."
"Let's go, meet First Elder Su Qian."
Han Feng led Zi Yan out of the courtyard gate.
Time passed quickly, but it also seemed very slow.
Last time he came here, he was a Nine-Turn Dou Venerate. In the blink of an eye, he was already a Dou Saint.
Walking on the streets of the academy, Han Feng saw many new faces.
Old people leave, new ones come.
The blood of the academy is always renewing.
Han Feng was surrounded by faint Saint Realm laws, blurring his face and demeanor. At first glance, there was nothing unusual, but if scrutinized carefully, one would fall into a daze like staring into an abyss.
Zi Yan didn't notice Han Feng's change because Han Feng didn't apply any means to her.
The tiny purple-haired girl back then had now become an enchanting purple-haired young lady. Anyone would find it hard to recognize that this was the same person.
The disciples of the academy looked sideways one after another, wondering when such a beauty appeared in the Inner Courtyard.
"This Junior Sister looks very familiar."
A man holding a folding fan walked over with arrogant steps. He smiled and extended his hand, a round pill hidden in his palm.
"I am Han Xian of the Medicine Gang. I wonder if I can make friends with Junior Sister."
Zi Yan looked at the man in front of her with surprise, then looked at Han Feng.
"Han Feng, he has the same surname as you. Is he your relative?"
Han Feng looked calm, didn't even look at the student named Han Xian, just walked forward on his own.
Han Xian frowned seeing Zi Yan looking at another man, but hearing the name the other party called, he was slightly stunned.
This name seemed familiar.
He looked in Han Feng's direction but seemed to see a layer of fog. He condensed his soul power, wanting to observe the other party's details. However, the next second, Han Xian's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he fell into a daze.
"Go easy."
Han Feng's words came from the air.
Zi Yan snickered, clenched her fist, and smashed it directly onto Han Xian's face.
Bang!
Han Xian didn't even have a chance to scream before being knocked back ten meters, hitting the wall, and fainting.
"Hmph, trying to get close to this young lady with inferior pills, pah!"
Zi Yan snorted coldly and ran quickly towards Han Feng.
Han Feng was calm throughout, including when Zi Yan beat someone up; he wasn't surprised.
The Medicine Gang was originally a student organization led by Chen Xiaoyu, but now it seemed some disciples who liked refining inferior pills had emerged.
That Han Xian had decent soul power and could be considered outstanding among the young disciples, but unfortunately, the pills he refined were mixed with quite a few impurities.
For a person like him to flourish in the Inner Courtyard, he should also have some background.
The episode ended quickly and didn't affect the mood of Han Feng and Zi Yan.
They arrived at the Elder Council, took out tokens, and then walked to the top floor under the shocked gazes of some elders.
"Old Man Su Qian!"
Zi Yan still had her carefree personality. She didn't knock on the door and rushed straight in.
Fortunately, Elder Su Qian was reading and not doing anything shameful.
He coughed lightly, closed the book quietly, and then looked at the door with a straight face.
However, the moment he saw Zi Yan, Su Qian's serious expression couldn't hold.
"Zi Yan!"
Su Qian recognized the other party at first glance. Even though Zi Yan had changed a lot, he had raised her personally.
Let alone looking at her appearance, just listening to her voice, he could know this was the little devil who gave him headaches countless times.
"Why have you... grown up?"
Zi Yan raised her eyebrows: "Old Man Su, what's wrong with me growing up? Aren't you happy?"
"Happy, of course happy."
A heartfelt smile appeared on Su Qian's face.
"Heard you found your family?"
He asked.
Zi Yan nodded.
"Found them, it's the Ancient Void Dragon clan!"
Zi Yan proudly reported the name of her race.
Su Qian had long learned this news from Han Feng, but hearing it from Zi Yan's mouth, he still felt very gratified.
"Good that you found them, good that you found them."
Looking at the joyful smile on Su Qian's face, Zi Yan's heart was instantly filled with warmth.
Thank you, Old Man Su...
As a descendant of the Dragon King with royal bloodline, Zi Yan could analyze the other party's true thoughts from their demeanor.
Just like that Han Xian before, he wanted to do bad things to her, so she hit him.
And Su Qian, he was truly happy for her finding her family.
This was a wish she had since childhood.
A bright smile suddenly bloomed on Zi Yan's face. This smile was rarely seen on Zi Yan's face because she usually looked carefree.
But at this moment, she seemed like a grown-up girl, her smile containing the power to make adults proud and reassured.
Su Qian's eyebrows opened slightly, surprised and happy in his heart. He received that sincere emotion from Zi Yan's smile.
She was thanking him.
At this moment, Su Qian felt how correct his decision back then to bring Zi Yan back from the Magical Beast Forest and raise her was.
Everything was worth it.
Even though the Inner Courtyard lost many precious medicinal herbs during the period, and many elders reported Zi Yan's mischief to him.
Su Qian took a deep breath and smiled: "Zi Yan, you've grown up."
Zi Yan gently tucked the hair on her forehead, revealing white teeth, gave a thumbs up to Su Qian, and seemed to be gesturing something.
"Old Man Su, your beard... has also grown long."
The smile on Su Qian's face slowly disappeared. He only saw the girl in front of him turn into a purple light, passing through the void, and unknowingly plucked the beard he had painstakingly grown long.
Slight pain came from his chin, and Su Qian's heart was bleeding.
This wretched girl!
Is her strength already this strong?
Su Qian, still at the Dou Ancestor realm, couldn't stop her at all!
Zi Yan clapped her hands, looked back at Su Qian, and nodded: "Mm, much more spirited this way!"
Han Feng walked into the room at this time, looked at Zi Yan and scolded: "Zi Yan, what are you doing?"
Su Qian waved his hand.
"Alright, it's not the first or second time."
He raised his head and looked at Han Feng carefully.
"Elder Han, after a trip out, why do I feel like something is different about you again?"
Han Feng nodded.
"Indeed some changes. I am a Dou Saint now."
"Oh, ah?"
Su Qian looked at Han Feng blankly, his mind going blank.
Dou Saint?
Didn't you just go out... for less than two months?
Broke through to Dou Saint just like that?
Even the Dean isn't this powerful?
It took Su Qian a long time to recover.
He re-examined Han Feng and nodded: "Then I should address you as Saint later?"
"Mysterious Yellow Saint (Xuan Huang Saint), the title I gave myself."
Han Feng laughed.
This was the title he used in his previous life.
Using it now gave him a feeling of a lifetime ago.
"Xuan Huang, good name."
Heaven, Earth, Black (Xuan), Yellow (Huang), this was a level classification that appeared on the Dou Qi Continent a long time ago.
Using Heaven and Earth was too ostentatious; Black and Yellow were just right.
"Any important things to do coming back this time?"
"Yes, I plan to go to the underground magma world again."
Han Feng looked at Zi Yan.
"Taking Zi Yan down by the way."
"Ah?"
Zi Yan asked curiously: "I'm going too?"
"Mm."
Han Feng nodded.
This time, he prepared to go really deep. And if he met that person, perhaps Zi Yan would be the real key to negotiating with him.
Su Qian didn't ask much.
"With your current strength, protecting Zi Yan is definitely enough."
Han Feng smiled gently.
This trip, maybe Zi Yan would have to protect me.
"Are you leaving now or waiting?"
Su Qian asked.
"Now."
"Then follow me."
Su Qian led the way for the two and arrived at the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Han Feng felt the call of the Fallen Heart Flame from inside the tower and gently sent out a flame ripple to respond to the other party.
Su Qian was surprised seeing this.
"Doesn't it say Heavenly Flames repel each other? How come this Fallen Heart Flame is also so close to you?"
Han Feng smiled: "Perhaps it realized the gap between us."
The explanation of the power of laws was too profound. Su Qian hadn't touched it yet; telling him these things would be harmful instead.
Han Feng's cultivation of flame laws reached an extremely high level, so all flames, including Heavenly Flames, had a natural affinity for him.
This affinity would be more obvious when the spirituality of the Heavenly Flame itself was not yet fully developed.
And the Fallen Heart Flame in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower was still just a larva, so it would be very close to Han Feng.
Even if Han Feng wanted to refine the other party now, it would be a simple matter.
The three went deep to the bottom of the tower and arrived at the seal barrier.
"I'm ready to open the formation."
Su Qian reminded.
"Start. With me here, don't worry."
Han Feng said.
Su Qian smiled: "Although there is a big gap between you and me, I can still suppress a larval form Fallen Heart Flame."
"Formation, rise!"
The surrounding red patterns lit up, chains rattled, and a gap was deliberately opened.
Han Feng nodded to Su Qian, then grabbed Zi Yan and flew directly into it as a beam of light.
Seeing Han Feng and Zi Yan go down, Su Qian changed hand seals and closed the formation again.
"Dou Saint..."
Su Qian murmured softly.
He had never thought that a Dou Saint expert could appear in Jia Nan Academy.
Perhaps in the near future, the names of Han Feng and the Mysterious Yellow Saint would resound throughout the Dou Qi Continent.
"Wonder when the Dean will return. He should also be very happy that such a big figure appeared in Jia Nan Academy."
Magma World.
Han Feng flew very fast. In the magma torrent with complex terrain, he didn't pause at all, splitting mountains and crossing rivers.
It was Zi Yan's first time deep into the magma world. Seeing the red scene around, her eyes were full of curiosity.
Swish!
Half an hour later, Han Feng landed among the Flame Lizard tribe.
Zi Yan's eyes were slightly dazed. Seeing the scene in front of her, several pictures suddenly appeared in her mind.
As if she had been to this place before.
Zi Yan was somewhat puzzled.
"Han Feng, I seem to have been here."
