Chapter 13: Take the Sea Heart Flame! Han Feng's Fear!

The Black-Corner Region can offer you the fastest shortcut, but of course, the prerequisite is that you must possess sufficient strength and capital; otherwise, you will lose your life before you ever make a name for yourself.

As a chaotic region famous across the continent, strong individuals die here every day, and every day, strong individuals pour in from the outside.

This area is filled with death, yet it is also filled with challenges and temptations.

Here, high-level cultivation methods, Battle Techniques, various divine weapons, armor, Medicine Cauldrons, medicinal herbs, and high-level Pills that are hard to see elsewhere are dazzlingly abundant.

It is said that in the auction houses of the Black-Corner Region, Earth-tier cultivation methods have appeared twice.

Of course, if you want to obtain these, you must pay a price; this price might be money, or it might be other items of equivalent value.

In short, in the "Black-Corner Region," there is never such a thing as a free lunch.

Although this was Gu Fei's first time here, he was very clear about the powers within the Black-Corner Region.

He covered his face and found a place to inquire for information; once he had clearly ascertained the location of Feng City, Gu Fei hurried over.

Feng City is situated outside the mountain range that stretches for a thousand miles from the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy; the city is not large, yet it holds a pivotal status within the Black-Corner Region.

The reason is none other than the fact that the Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region, Han Feng, resides here.

As the number one person in Alchemy within the Black-Corner Region, Han Feng, who had long since become a Grade 6 Alchemist, held a rather high status in the hearts of numerous factions and even strong individuals.

Of course, a Grade 6 Alchemist is not too shabby even when looking at the entire continent; at the very least, he gets by better than others.

Ordinary Dou Huangs, and even Dou Zong powerhouses, must be three parts courteous when meeting him.

After all, everyone knows what kind of rallying power a Grade 6 Alchemist possesses!

Feng City, this city, is named after Han Feng.

This honor is something only a handful of people can enjoy in the Black-Corner Region, which is filled with chaos and slaughter, and Han Feng is one of them!

At the very center of the city lies a bamboo forest that is completely different from the noisy markets outside.

This bamboo forest has extremely strict defenses; ordinary people cannot even dream of entering.

Even approaching within a certain range will result in indiscriminate attacks.

Every year, the number of people killed by the bamboo forest guards for these reasons is not small.

Therefore, although this place is secluded, it is also a forbidden zone in the hearts of many in Feng City.

Deep within the bamboo forest, there is a Bamboo Building, and within it, there is a rather tall bamboo room with a window.

A man sits cross-legged, wearing a set of Alchemist robes; on the back of the robe, there is a "Feng" character crafted with extremely fine workmanship.

At this moment, the man is immersed in a medicinal formula in his hands, his heart free from distractions, appearing very focused.

Amidst the quiet concentration, the man with his head lowered suddenly lifts it, his sharp gaze scanning the surroundings.

Gu Fei had already arrived nearby; although Han Feng did not discover anything unusual, a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

He scanned the area, but under his Dou Qi perception, there was not the slightest movement.

【Han Feng experiences unease, Emotion Value +15】

Just as Han Feng lowered his head again, Gu Fei appeared silently, standing one step behind Han Feng.

Han Feng turned his head abruptly, scared into a cold sweat by Gu Fei.

【Han Feng experiences fear, Emotion Value +20】

How is this possible? This person bypassed all the defenses, was not discovered by anyone, and just appeared by his side so suddenly.

Han Feng did not understand the intention behind this person's arrival and dared not rashly attack him.

Gu Fei looked incredibly weak, but Han Feng had been roaming the Black-Corner Region for many years, and his intuition told him that this kid was extremely dangerous.

Whether to stall for time or to test him, Han Feng politely cupped his hands and asked, "Little brother, you have suddenly come to my Bamboo Building, what for?"

"Han Feng, I have come for your Sea Heart Flame."

Gu Fei spoke directly, stating his purpose.

Han Feng was naturally both shocked and furious.

This Sea Heart Flame was like his lifeline; without it, his Alchemy strength would regress significantly.

Gu Fei appeared out of nowhere, and the first thing he did was demand the Sea Heart Flame?

He grew malicious, thinking that perhaps Gu Fei possessed some treasure capable of masking his aura, allowing him to appear suddenly.

It was definitely not because his strength was superior.

Han Feng's eyes slowly closed, and with a light flick of his fingertips, a deep blue flame, resembling clear lake water, eerily emerged from his body, finally wrapping tightly around him.

This deep blue flame was quite strange; it looked as if a mass of clear lake water was flowing, yet the most authentic sensation clearly told one that this was not a pool of water, but a type of flame.

As the deep blue flame rose, the man's soul power surged violently at this moment.

Han Feng opened his eyes and laughed angrily, "The Sea Heart Flame is right here, come and take it if you have the guts!"

That mass of flame flew out, but the scene Han Feng had envisioned of burning Gu Fei to ashes did not occur.

Gu Fei reached out a hand, and the Sea Heart Flame stopped in front of him, unable to move forward even half an inch.

Seeing this, Han Feng finally realized that the strength of the person before him was something he, plus everyone in the entire Bamboo Building, could not defeat.

Although Han Feng was unwilling, he had no choice but to stop his attack.

Shaking his head helplessly, Han Feng had no choice but to take out the Sea Heart Flame and hand it to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei had just been attacked by the Exotic Fire, yet his expression did not change in the slightest.

He took the Sea Heart Flame and turned to leave.

Although Gu Fei could have killed Han Feng, because he had just harbored murderous intent toward him.

But Gu Fei thought that if someone demanded his most precious item the moment they met, he would also want to kill that person.

Therefore, Gu Fei did not kill Han Feng.

Moreover, although Han Feng had offended Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, he did not need to take revenge for them.

After all, the grudge between Han Feng and Xiao Yan and Yao Lao had nothing to do with him.

Gu Fei accepted the Sea Heart Flame and immediately felt a sense of relief.

The Great Flame Heart Sutra that Gu Fei cultivated was originally just an ordinary fire-attribute Heaven-tier cultivation technique, but after evolving it once before using Emotion Value, this technique underwent a mutation.

Ordinary people can only refine one type of Exotic Fire in their entire lives; things like Exotic Fire are extremely violent, and even the Yan Clan Clan Leader can only forcibly fuse two types of Exotic Fire into a new Exotic Fire.

Yet, having cultivated this mutated technique, Gu Fei is able to fuse five different types of Exotic Fire.

At this moment, Gu Fei focused his attention on the Sea Heart Flame, forcibly taking it into his body first.

Inadvertently, a wisp of powerful aura leaked out, and that terrifying pressure made Han Feng's face turn deathly pale.

【Han Feng experiences extreme fear, Emotion Value +30】

Gu Fei's expression became a bit more pleased.

This Han Feng's luck value is stronger than that of an ordinary person, and therefore the Emotion Value brought about by his emotional fluctuations is also significantly higher than others.
