Early the next morning, Xiao Yan was ready again and went to the Nalan Residence full of confidence to treat the patient.
Han Feng watched him leave, thinking that this time at least Nalan Jie wouldn't be in agony.
He turned and returned to the Mittel clan grounds, where Ai Lin just happened to greet him.
"Mr. Han, these are the materials you requested last night."
Ai Lin handed a storage ring to Han Feng.
Han Feng scanned it slightly, then put the storage ring into his space.
As a versatile talent who practiced both alchemy and weapon refining, he consumed a huge amount of resources every day.
Although the Northwest Continent didn't have those very precious seventh or eighth-grade materials, it didn't matter if they were lower, anyway, they were all needed.
"Have you thought about what I told you before?"
Han Feng asked.
Mittel Ai Lin nodded solemnly.
"Although the atmosphere in the Black-Corner Region has improved a lot now, it is after all the once most chaotic place in the Northwest Continent. If you want to go there, you have to bring enough manpower."
Han Feng entrusted.
"I will."
Ai Lin nodded.
The Black-Corner Region is now a place of rapid economic development. Entering at this time indeed has a lot of profits to plot, but corresponding to high returns is always risk.
Boom!
Suddenly, a pillar of ice shot straight into the sky from the seclusion place in the back mountain of the Mittel family.
Powerful ice Dou Qi caused the surrounding temperature to drop several levels rapidly, and Ai Lin even shivered.
Han Feng raised his hand and waved gently, and the surrounding chill dissipated instantly.
"That is... Elder Hai broke through!"
Ai Lin, warming up, looked at the ice figure slowly walking out in the sky and said in surprise.
Hai Bodong stepped on the void, looking down at the Imperial Capital below, feeling a heroic feeling rising naturally from the bottom of his heart.
"Is this the feeling of a Dou Ancestor?"
Hai Bodong clenched his fist slightly, and surging spatial power raged around him.
Just breaking through to Dou Ancestor, his control of spatial power was still unfamiliar, and the surging spatial power quickly dispersed messily.
However, just this bit of being a fledgling was enough to create a world of difference from Dou Emperor experts.
Spatial power is the manifestation of spatial laws. Although it is only a superficial phenomenon, it is much stronger than Dou Qi that has not been combined with laws.
This is also the reason why ordinary Dou Emperor experts can hardly withstand a move from a Dou Ancestor.
Of course, if a cultivator possesses heavenly wonders, that's another matter.
Powerful forces like Heavenly Flames are existences completely comparable to spatial power.
It's just that very few people possess such things.
In the sky, a sand-yellow figure flew quickly, but the other party just got a little closer, stopped in mid-air after seeing the situation here clearly, and fell into a dead silence.
Jia Xingtian looked at Hai Bodong stepping on the void in the distance in disbelief.
How could he not understand that this was the sign of stepping into Dou Ancestor?
"Hai Bodong, you actually..."
Jia Xingtian couldn't calm down for a long time, clenching his fists tightly.
He was shocked and angry, but at this moment, he didn't even have the courage to approach the other party.
Hai Bodong broke through to the Dou Ancestor realm under his nose. What was he doing these days?
Why didn't he get any news at all!
Yes, he had been focusing on the Alchemist Conference and that alchemist from the Chu Yun Empire these days.
If he had been more careful, he would definitely have noticed that the heaven and earth energy in the Imperial Capital had been changing towards the cold direction in the past two days.
"Jia Xingtian, why are you standing so far away? Come over and sit."
Hai Bodong glanced lightly at the old partner in the distance, his voice reaching the other party's ears like a bell.
Jia Xingtian took a deep breath, slowly flapped the Dou Qi wings on his back, and flew towards the Mittel family.
Coming close to Hai Bodong, the feeling of being crushed from the source of life provoked Jia Xingtian's sensitive nerve all the time.
"Is this a Dou Ancestor?"
Jia Xingtian sighed wistfully.
Although he had stayed at the peak of the Dou Emperor realm for a long time, he still had no clue about breaking through to Dou Ancestor.
It was as if there was a chasm preventing him from even taking a look at the scenery.
"How did you do it?"
Jia Xingtian asked unwillingly.
He knew that the moment Hai Bodong broke through to Dou Ancestor, the cold war between the Mittel family and the imperial family had ended.
The Mittel family won. As for what the other party would do later, it depended entirely on Hai Bodong, the backbone.
"By chance."
Hai Bodong said lightly.
He liked this feeling very much, seemingly calm but actually showing off wildly.
"By chance, what a coincidence!"
Jia Xingtian took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the urge to slash the other party with a sword.
"From today on, those spies surrounding the Mittel family should disperse. You probably don't understand the strength of a Dou Ancestor. If I want to find your people, it's too easy."
Hai Bodong showed off calmly again.
"Good."
Jia Xingtian admitted defeat.
"By the way, if you want to spar with me in the future, I'll accompany you anytime."
Hai Bodong stabbed again.
The corner of Jia Xingtian's mouth twitched.
"No need."
He squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, then turned decisively and flew away from this place.
Hai Bodong watched Jia Xingtian fleeing in panic, smiled gently, turned around, and landed in the Mittel clan grounds.
"Mr. Han, thank you for your Dou Ancestor Break Pill!"
Only when truly breaking through could Hai Bodong realize the importance of this pill.
He could say responsibly that if it weren't for this Dou Ancestor Break Pill, it would be wishful thinking for him to break through to Dou Ancestor.
Even that old guy Jia Xingtian couldn't break through, let alone him who had wasted decades in the Tager Desert.
The only difference was that he, Hai Bodong, had the support of a mighty figure like Mr. Han behind him.
"It's good that you succeeded."
Han Feng laughed.
"If Mr. Han has any orders, Hai Bodong is duty-bound!"
Hai Bodong expressed his loyalty to Han Feng.
He didn't feel that he could be on an equal footing with Mr. Han just because he broke through to Dou Ancestor.
It wasn't because he felt Han Feng's unfathomable cultivation. With the current gap between the two, Hai Bodong couldn't see through Han Feng's strength at all.
It was just that promises should be kept.
"It's good to have this heart. I don't have anything to trouble you with at present. Cultivate well and don't slack off."
Han Feng said.
"Dou Ancestor is just the starting point for you."
"Ah?"
Hai Bodong was shocked. Mr. Han really thought highly of him.
After breaking through to Dou Ancestor, Hai Bodong was already very satisfied.
As for the subsequent Dou Venerate... he dared not even think about it.
Although Hai Bodong broke through to Dou Ancestor, his thinking still remained at the Dou Emperor stage, and because he had fallen to Dou Spirit, he was even more cautious.
"Don't rush, take your time."
Han Feng patted Hai Bodong's shoulder with a smile.
Through the detection of the Fallen Heart Flame, he knew very well that Hai Bodong was a trustworthy person.
Although the other party's strength was a bit lower, as long as he was sincere and possessed the moral character Han Feng admired, lower strength and talent didn't matter.
Anyway, with Han Feng's alchemy level, he wasn't afraid of the other party being a drag.
Just afraid of cultivating an ingrate in the end.
Teacher Yao Chen had suffered in this regard, and Han Feng should take it as a warning.
On a mountain top dozens of miles away from the Imperial Capital, a burst of black clouds moved, and the beautiful back mountain of the Misty Cloud Sect became very gloomy and depressing at this time.
"Someone in the Imperial Capital actually broke through to Dou Ancestor?"
Wu Ying, an Earth-level Protector of the Hall of Souls, slowly revealed a pair of scarlet eyes in the black clouds.
He was a protector arranged by the Hall of Souls to operate in the Northwest Continent, mainly responsible for matters near the Jia Ma Empire.
Although the twenty-four branch halls in the Central Plains were destroyed, protectors like them wandering outside were safe and sound.
In order to plan a bloody struggle, Wu Ying had been deployed in the Jia Ma Empire for two years.
As long as Yun Shan accepted his help and broke through to Dou Ancestor, this chess piece would be successfully placed.
When the dark seed in Yun Shan's body grew slowly, it would inevitably cause a drastic change in Yun Shan's temperament. At that time, he would persuade from the side to let the Misty Cloud Sect raise troops, and the Jia Ma Empire would become a land of war, with a large amount of soul power collected.
This is a very mature strategy. If envoys of the Hall of Souls want to be promoted to protectors, they not only need Dou Ancestor-level strength but also need to learn and master this method.
Of course, when applied to real life, the effect varies from person to person.
Wu Ying could become an Earth-level Protector, naturally having skills.
After two years of temptation, Yun Shan had fallen into his trap at this time.
Next, just wait for the fruit to develop and mature slowly.
These were all considerations within the plan.
However, someone breaking through to Dou Ancestor in the Imperial Capital today made Wu Ying feel bad.
If an expert comparable to Yun Shan appeared in the empire, then the war might not be able to spread for a long time.
Wu Ying knew very well how difficult a Dou Ancestor expert was to deal with.
Unless he took action, with the foundation of the Jia Ma Empire, no monster-level expert would be born.
"Jie jie jie, this is good too. If successful, maybe I can harvest the souls of two Dou Ancestors this time."
Wu Ying thought from another angle and immediately felt enlightened.
The soul of a Dou Ancestor expert is much more precious than those ordinary soul bodies.
Wu Ying didn't plan to let Yun Shan go from the beginning.
The soul body of this old sect master was already in his bag.
Wu Ying laughed eerily. He planned to go around the outside of the Imperial Capital tonight to find out who broke through to Dou Ancestor this time, so as to make plans for the future.
——————————
Nalan Residence.
Xiao Yan withdrew his skill and slowly laid the dying Old Master Nalan Jie flat.
Although his manipulation of the Heavenly Flame was more measured today, the treatment speed increased a lot, so Nalan Jie suffered not less but more than yesterday.
The only fortunate thing was that the Searing Poison in Nalan Jie's body was almost cleared.
Just one more day, and the treatment would be over.
"Mr. Yan Xiao, how is my grandfather now?"
Nalan Yanran asked.
She was worried because the heart-piercing roar of her grandfather during the treatment was too scary.
If Yan Xiao's treatment results yesterday weren't significant, she would have stepped forward to stop it long ago.
"Your grandfather is in good condition. After the treatment is finished tomorrow, rest for half a month, and he will recover."
Xiao Yan said confidently.
Just now during the treatment, the more Nalan Jie roared towards the end, the louder it was, indicating that his condition was indeed recovering slowly.
"Thank you, Mr. Yan Xiao."
"No need."
Xiao Yan's attitude was much better today.
Because Old Master Nalan Jie's Dou Qi was quite solid, he went back to refine it yesterday and broke through directly to the two-star Dou Spirit.
Refining again today, he is probably not far from three-star.
"If Mr. Yan Xiao wants anything or needs Yanran to do anything, feel free to bring it up."
On the way to see Xiao Yan off from the Nalan Residence, Nalan Yanran spoke.
Xiao Yan shook his head.
"I don't need you to do anything at present. I chose to save your grandfather for another reason."
"Another reason? Could it be that you, Mr. Yan Xiao, had connections with our Nalan family before?"
Nalan Yanran asked curiously.
Xiao Yan glanced sideways at her.
"Being too curious is sometimes not a good thing."
Nalan Yanran pursed her lips.
"But Mr. Yan Xiao helped me a lot. Doing nothing like this makes me feel uneasy."
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth curled up.
Uneasy?
Wait until the Three-Year Agreement, and you will know what a real surprise is.
Walking to the gate of the Nalan Residence, Nalan Yanran seemed to want to continue seeing him off, but Xiao Yan reached out to stop her.
"Please go back, Miss Nalan."
Nalan Yanran frowned slightly, watching Xiao Yan go away.
"Why is Mr. Yan Xiao still so cold to me? Did I really offend him before?"
"Who exactly is under that mask?"
————————————
Xiao Yan returned to the Mittel family and found it seemed particularly lively today.
"What happened?"
Xiao Yan was puzzled.
He just went out for half a day, how did he feel like he missed something important?
"An elder in the Mittel family broke through the realm, so everyone is very happy."
Xiao Yu explained to Xiao Yan.
"How about you? Treating your fiancée's grandfather these two days, feeling a sense of accomplishment?"
Xiao Yan curled his lips.
"What fiancée? Cousin, don't talk nonsense."
If he really got stuck with a woman like Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan felt he would have nightmares in his sleep.
Not that Nalan Yanran isn't beautiful, he just simply doesn't like her.
"You are now the champion of the Alchemist Conference. This identity is more powerful than the current Nalan Yanran."
A Young Sect Master is just a Young Sect Master after all. Before possessing truly powerful strength, status and reputation are all empty.
But the champion of the Alchemist Conference is different. From the moment the result came out, Xiao Yan had his own signboard.
This is hard power that others can't take away.
"Maybe, but I don't care about these."
Xiao Yan said.
"Fine, fine, know you are the best. I'm going to get busy first."
Xiao Yu said helplessly, then walked away and joined the ranks of banquet preparation.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan also stepped forward to help.
Although with Senior Brother's relationship, they could stay in the Mittel family with peace of mind.
But their Xiao family members still had to show a diligent style and habit, not eating for free.
Half an hour later, everyone finished their work one after another, and the dinner dishes were also cooked in the kitchen, ready to be served at any time.
Everything was ready. The protagonist of today's banquet, Hai Bodong, walked slowly out of the backyard and came to the hall.
"Today, you are no longer the Ice Emperor, but the Ice Ancestor."
