"Senior, please speak..."
Hearing Xiao Xuan's voice, which carried immense pressure, Han Feng remained respectful. He approached Xiao Yi and leaned in to listen.
"I hear Medicine Emperor has a rare item in his possession..."
"I wonder if Medicine Emperor would be willing to lend it to me for a look..."
Xiao Xuan didn't waste words, speaking in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Han Feng quickly nodded: "May I ask what item Senior is referring to..."
"heavenly cold qi..."
Hearing the words "heavenly cold qi," Han Feng couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
He had gone to great lengths to find the heavenly cold qi and hadn't let a single rumor slip.
How did this Dou Zun Expert in front of him get the information that he possessed heavenly cold qi?
Seeing Han Feng's slight daze, Xiao Xuan spoke again:
"Medicine Emperor, are you unwilling to part with it...?"
Han Feng had originally intended to use the excuse that he didn't possess heavenly cold qi, but upon hearing Xiao Xuan's questioning, he realized that the person in front of him definitely knew he had it.
It seemed impossible to lie now... "Since Senior has spoken, of course, you can..."
"Please wait a moment, Senior. Junior will go retrieve it now..."
With that, Han Feng dared not linger for another second. He immediately turned to retrieve the heavenly cold qi.
Watching Han Feng leave,
Xiao Xuan's voice softly echoed in Xiao Yi's mind:
"Little Fellow... this Medicine Emperor actually has a different flame within him..."
"It seems to be the Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth..."
"No wonder he was able to earn the title of Medicine Emperor in this Black-Corner Region..."
However, Xiao Yi remained silent.
Because Xiao Yi already had his own plans in mind.
The Sea Heart Flame would be taken sooner or later; for now, it was merely temporarily residing within Han Feng...
A moment later,
Han Feng emerged, holding a white jade bottle, and walked towards Xiao Yi with a fawning smile.
"Senior, the item in this bottle is the heavenly cold qi..."
Han Feng respectfully handed the jade bottle to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi slowly took the jade bottle and felt the extremely pure icy Qi emanating from within.
He nodded with satisfaction.
"I didn't expect Medicine Emperor to actually be able to find such a Heaven And Earth Treasure..."
Xiao Yi continued to examine the heavenly cold qi in his hand, showing no intention of returning it to Han Feng.
Han Feng, at this moment, also realized that the Dou Zun Expert in front of him, who claimed to merely observe, actually had no intention of returning it.
Although he felt somewhat uncomfortable, he couldn't show it.
He continued to smile and said:
"Senior is joking. This heavenly cold qi was merely something Junior stumbled upon during his travels..."
Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this.
A moment later, Xiao Xuan's voice softly echoed again:
"Since that's the case, my purpose today is precisely to borrow this heavenly cold qi from Your Excellency Medicine Emperor..."
"I wonder if Medicine Emperor would be willing to part with it?"
Upon hearing this, Han Feng's body and mind couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Borrow again!
Although Han Feng was naturally unwilling, he didn't dare to directly refuse.
After all, the person in front of him was a genuine High-Tier Dou Zun, capable of suppressing him with a mere raise of a hand.
The fact that he was speaking to him like this now,
in Han Feng's opinion, was already a stroke of luck...
Seeing Han Feng's prolonged silence, Xiao Xuan's voice echoed again.
"Medicine Emperor..."
"What I am telling you now is not a discussion, but a notification..."
"If you are unwilling, just try to snatch it back..."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the strength!"
As Xiao Xuan's voice fell, terrifying pressure immediately descended from around Xiao Yi.
Even a Dou Huang Expert like Han Feng was utterly powerless against this pressure.
"Senior is joking..."
"For Senior to fancy this heavenly cold qi is Junior's good fortune. If Senior needs it, just take it..."
Under the pressure exerted by Xiao Xuan, Han Feng, at this moment, had to exert all his strength just to utter these few sentences.
Hearing Han Feng's reply, Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction and then absorbed the jade bottle containing the heavenly cold qi into his storage ring.
He also removed the pressure on Han Feng.
"Alright..."
"Thank you for Medicine Emperor's generosity. I have no other business here..."
As Xiao Xuan's voice fell, the Void Realm behind him suddenly shattered, and his figure flickered, disappearing into the Void Realm.
Once Xiao Yi's figure had vanished,
Han Feng, who had been bent over, finally straightened his back.
"My heavenly cold qi!"
A hint of anger appeared on Han Feng's face.
He had spent a great deal of effort to find the heavenly cold qi, intending to use it on the Fallen Heart Flame in Jia Nan Academy.
Now, a Dou Zun Expert had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and, without a word, simply snatched the heavenly cold qi away.
This made Han Feng, who was usually incredibly arrogant in the Black-Corner Region, extremely displeased.
But besides anger, Han Feng could do nothing at this moment.
After all, that was a High-Tier Dou Zun. Not to mention in the Black-Corner Region, even in the Central Plains, there were very few people who could afford to provoke such an existence.
Thinking of this, Han Feng still felt a slight sense of relief.
Today, the Dou Zun Expert had only taken his heavenly cold qi, not his life.
Han Feng looked up in the direction of Jia Nan Academy and murmured:
"Without the heavenly cold qi! That Fallen Heart Flame will still be mine sooner or later!"
...At this moment, Xiao Yi had already returned to the deserted back mountain of Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy through the power of the Void Realm.
At the same time, a red light surged from Xiao Yi's body, transforming into Xiao Xuan.
The color of Xiao Yi's pupils had also returned to normal.
Now, after being roasted by the fallen heart flame sub-fire and undergoing the double Meridians tempering with the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid, Xiao Yi's Physical Body strength was comparable to that of a Dou Huang Expert.
Therefore, after Xiao Xuan possessed him, Xiao Yi no longer felt the previous soreness.
Xiao Yi eagerly took out the heavenly cold qi from his storage ring and examined it.
"As expected of heavenly cold qi. Even sealed in this jade bottle, my Beast Fire within me is directly unable to be summoned..."
Xiao Yi murmured excitedly.
Then, Xiao Xuan suddenly spoke in a deep voice:
"You Little Fellow..."
"Why did you instruct me not to kill that Medicine Emperor...?"
Xiao Yi, however, smiled slightly: "Ancestor..."
"That Medicine Emperor has been entrenched in the Black-Corner Region for many years, and his prestige and influence are immense..."
"With your strength, killing Medicine Emperor would naturally be easy, but killing him would likely cause unrest in the Black-Corner Region and lead to unnecessary trouble..."
"Besides, it's not that I won't kill him, it's just not the right time..."
Xiao Xuan nodded upon hearing this: "That is indeed true..."
"The most urgent task now is to help you subdue the Fallen Heart Flame first..."
Xiao Yi slowly stood up: "Alright..."
"Ancestor, our preparations now lack only one last item..."
"The blood lotus pill..."
"As long as the blood lotus pill is prepared, then we just need the right moment to set off and subdue the Fallen Heart Flame!"
Xiao Yi intended to personally refine the fifth-grade pill, the blood lotus pill.
He hadn't asked Han Feng to help refine it because, given Han Feng's status as a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, he would know that the blood lotus pill was used to subdue different flames.
He feared that Han Feng might tamper with the Medicinal Pill, and for something to be ingested, it was safer to refine it himself...
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yi and nodded with satisfaction.
After all, in Xiao Xuan's eyes, for a young man of such an age to possess such a meticulous mind and Heart-Nature was extremely rare.
