Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Capítulo 840: Chapter 49: Fire Valley

Lin Feng rested for a day in Heavenly Saint City before planning to head to Junzi City. He was fully aware of his current situation, knowing that the Upper God Sect and the Dugu Family likely wanted him eliminated.

But so what? Let them come; it’s still uncertain whose hand the deer will fall to.

Slaying Dugu Xuan was certainly satisfying, but the only regret Lin Feng had was that the mysterious blacksmith left Heavenly Saint City, leaving his wish to upgrade the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower to a Tao Artifact unfulfilled for the time being.

This matter would have to wait until the blacksmith returned, and he could seek her out again.

…

Junzi City, one of the Ten Great Ancient Cities of the East County Divine Land, had been bustling lately with many Spirit Array Masters flocking to it.

These Spirit Array Masters all came for Junzi City’s City Lord Han Zihua.

Han Zihua’s wife was not long for this world.

And Han Zihua dearly loved his wife.

He took out a Holy Medicine with a hundred-thousand-year-old age passed down by his ancestors as a reward.

Hoping someone could refine a Life Extending Pill to let his wife continue living.

A hundred-thousand-year-old Holy Medicine would be fatally attractive to anyone, let alone alchemists?

Many alchemists flocked over.

But ordinary life-extending elixirs had no effect on Han Zihua’s wife.

Inside the City Lord Mansion.

In a room made of an ice cellar, cold air swirled.

On an icy bed lay a stunningly beautiful woman, as if she’d stepped out from a painting.

She lay with her eyes closed, motionless, breathing very weakly.

Han Zihua sat at the bedside, weary and sorrowful.

This woman was Han Zihua’s wife, Ruuoxi. Years ago, to save Han Zihua, she had her meridians shattered, her internal organs smashed, and her divine soul broken, even the Holy Medicine can hardly heal her.

Ruuoxi clung to her last breath, not leaving.

“Dugu Aotian, if not for you, perhaps young Lin Feng had already come to fulfill his promise. If Ruuoxi dies, even if it costs my life, I will tear you to pieces.”

A look of hatred filled Han Zihua’s eyes.

There was a five-year agreement with Lin Feng back then.

Within five years, Lin Feng would become an Earth Rank Alchemist and come to help him refine an Ancient Vein Continuation Pill.

Han Zihua thought his wife could extend her life by a hundred years.

This way, he could find a way to cure his wife within a century.

But he did not expect Dugu Aotian to attack the Lin Family.

Later, Ao Tian Ancient City even put a bounty on Lin Feng.

In Han Zihua’s view, Lin Feng was likely killed by the Dugu Family.

After all, how could a young man like Lin Feng evade the Dugu Family’s bounty?

The hope to prolong his wife Ruuoxi’s life for a hundred years.

Was thus severed.

For all this caused by Dugu Aotian, Han Zihua was also filled with boundless hatred.

“If Lin Feng were still alive, he should be coming to Junzi City by now, but in this world, there are no ifs.”

Han Zihua still admired Lin Feng, reminiscing about the young, exceptionally gifted, gentle, and resilient boy.

Now thinking of that young man, he could only sigh deeply.

“My lord, another dozen alchemists have arrived and are waiting in the hall.” Came the voice of the Guard Commander from outside.

Han Zihua had lost track of how many alchemists he’d entertained, but none had any real skill.

Even though some alchemists were competent, they couldn’t refine an elixir to extend his wife Ruuoxi’s life.

Han Zihua said wearily, “Arrange for them to rest for a day, then start preparing for alchemy.”

“Yes.”

The Guard Commander responded, then retreated.

…

Lin Feng stepped out from the teleportation array in Junzi City.

As one of the Ten Great Ancient Cities of East County Divine Land, Junzi City was bustling with activity.

“There was a five-year agreement with Han Zihua back then, and now there are still a few months left till the agreement, finally arrived ahead of schedule.”

Lin Feng exhaled deeply.

Five years ago, Han Zihua’s wife was about to perish.

It was a Xuantian Divine Protection Pill from the Fire Kirin that extended Han Zihua’s wife’s life by five years.

Now that Lin Feng had arrived, he had two purposes.

The first was to fulfill the promise from back then and refine an elixir for Han Zihua’s wife to extend her life.

The second was to recruit Han Zihua to join in the attack on Ao Tian Ancient City in the future.

…

Lin Feng wasted no time and went straight to the City Lord Mansion.

The City Lord Mansion was constructed magnificently and heavily guarded.

Rumble.

In the distance, an exotic beast charged forward.

It was a Fire Demon Beast, a fierce creature resembling a Taowu, with robust limbs galloping and surrounded by flames.

Over a dozen alchemists sat cross-legged on the Fire Demon Beast.

In the end, these people stopped in front of the City Lord Mansion.

“Fire Demon Beast, that must be someone from Fire Valley, right?” Someone recognized who they were and exclaimed in shock.

Fire Valley, an ancient desolate force, one of the ten great forces of the Seventy-two States in the North.

This force was somewhat different from others in the Seventy-two States in the North.

Because Fire Valley was a force that cultivated alchemists.

Every disciple of Fire Valley was an alchemist.

Alchemists held a high status on the Heavenly Martial Continent, so Fire Valley’s status was naturally higher than other forces.

“Huo Qianyun, isn’t he the Hall Master of Fire Valley’s Alchemy Hall? It’s said that his alchemical mastery is unmatched, and rumors have it that even the Alchemist Guild wants to recruit Huo Qianyun, appointing him as the Chairman of the Youzhou Alchemist Guild.”

Someone pointed to a man in a flame robe and said.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, and his every gesture carried a proud and superior demeanor.

The esteemed status of alchemists made them feel superior wherever they went.

Lin Feng glanced at those from Fire Valley and then withdrew his gaze. He arrived at the entrance of the City Lord Mansion, only to be stopped by the guards.

“City Lord Mansion, no trespassing allowed.” The guard said solemnly.

Lin Feng snapped his fingers.

A faint purple flame danced at his fingertips.

“Oh, you’re an alchemist.”

Seeing that Lin Feng was an alchemist, the guards immediately showed a respectful expression.

“Puff… A faint purple flame, this should be the Purple Void Fire, ranked nine hundred thirty-sixth among Earth Fires, right?”.

At this moment, a mocking voice was heard.

Lin Feng looked over and saw more than a dozen alchemists coming over, who were from Fire Valley, and the speaker was a young alchemist in his twenties.

The young alchemist cast a disdainful glance at Lin Feng and said sarcastically, “City Lord Han’s rich reward has attracted all sorts of riffraff to Junzi City, hoping to catch some excitement. You, as guards of City Lord Han’s Mansion, should also keep your eyes wide open. Someone using Purple Void Fire, that trash flame, can’t be an alchemist, probably just a charlatan, letting such a person in would only waste City Lord Han’s time.”

Lin Feng said calmly, “Looks like I didn’t check today’s fortune; otherwise, why am I hearing stray dogs barking in broad daylight?”

The young alchemist’s expression suddenly darkened, looking at Lin Feng coldly, with a sinister expression saying, “Boy, are you courting death? Believe it or not, I could make you die without a grave in a snap.”

At this moment, a female alchemist said, “Senior Brother Zhuo Yan, why be upset over the words of such a lowly person? Wouldn’t that demean our status?”

“Haha, indeed.” The alchemist named Zhuo Yan cast a disdainful glance at Lin Feng, full of scorn, and then he, along with other alchemists from Fire Valley, entered the City Lord Mansion.
