“Wanmuzhen? Why are you asking about Wanmuzhen? I... I don’t know,” the middle-aged man stammered suddenly.
Huo Feng had already guessed that they were from Wanmuzhen, but after the tense chase earlier, he was just taking the opportunity to relax. At this moment, Huo Feng suddenly burst into laughter, retracting Phantom Butterfly into the Narcissistic Ring, and said to them, “Don’t worry, everyone. I was just joking. I came out for some experience and planned to check out Treeheart City, but unexpectedly ran into that troublesome big Fellow.”
Huo Feng pointed to the “Heart-Eating Silkworm” still lingering in the air and continued, “I know that to get to Treeheart City, I must pass through Wanmuzhen, and according to the map, Wanmuzhen is right here, isn’t it?”
The middle-aged man remained very cautious, looking at Huo Feng as if he wouldn’t easily trust him.
At that moment, the boy who had been lightly flicked away by Huo Feng suddenly shouted angrily and charged forward again, saying furiously, “Dad, don’t trust him easily; he might be sent by Treeheart City to destroy our Wanmu Family.”
He rushed close to Fire Phoenix, his wooden sword transforming and elongating once more. As the wooden sword was about to stab Huo Feng, countless wooden sword tips sprouted from its sides, seemingly intent on turning Huo Feng into a porcupine.
Huo Feng always believed that if one were to use weapons in battle, those weapons must not be made of ordinary iron; otherwise, it would be easier to use Origin Force. However, this boy was desperately attacking him with a wooden sword, and Huo Feng felt that this wooden sword seemed quite dangerous.
Quickly, Huo Feng threw a punch at the wooden sword.
“Nether Break”
Countless dark fist shadows surged from around Huo Feng’s fist toward the wooden swords. Given the disparity in their strengths, the boy flew back once more. However, Huo Feng felt something unusual; he noticed a red dot on his fist where it had struck the sword tip.
“I didn’t expect you to have so many secrets. No wonder you could easily break my heart’s illusion. Congratulations, you’ve passed.”
At that moment, an ancient voice echoed. Yet Huo Feng’s heart was still tight—not because of the trial here but because of his longing for Ruo Xi.
His eyes were filled with confusion; if this wasn’t an illusion, how could he save Ruo Xi? At this moment, he began to glimpse the power of the Otherworld, finally realizing how terrifying the place he needed to reach was and how he would gain recognition from Ruo Xi’s people.
The Seven Star Spirit seemed to sense the change in Huo Feng’s heart and said, “What’s wrong? Feeling defeated? Discouraged? Here your strength is nearly invincible, but in the Otherworld, you’re just starting out. What happened to your previous mindset? What about when you first transformed from a Useless Person?”
"You are experiencing rapid growth, and unconsciously, your ego is inflating as well. Your mindset and resilience are slipping amidst this inflation. This may not be a good thing for you; if it happens in the Otherworld, you might wither away before you have truly grown."
Upon hearing these words, Huo Feng felt a jolt in his heart. It seemed that his journey had been too smooth, and he had grown too quickly, leading to an inflated mindset. Since he had managed to grow from nothing to where he was now, how could he easily give up?
Huo Feng was filled with determination once again, his gaze appearing deeper and more resolute than ever.
At that moment, a door suddenly appeared on the blue wall in front of Huo Feng, and the aged voice echoed once more.
"You have successfully passed the test. Now, by entering through this door, you can find the person you seek and learn what you wish to know."
Huo Feng approached the door but did not rush in. Instead, he looked inside and saw Yue Er sitting in the center with his eyes closed. Beside him was a transparent Light Blue Elder, who was calmly watching Huo Feng.
Huo Feng noticed that Yue Er was wrapped in a layer of blue Origin Force. Upon closer inspection, he found that Yue Er's internal organs were also enveloped in a faint blue layer of Origin Force, and there was a special power moving within him.
Huo Feng quickly moved in front of the elder and asked, "What have you done to Yue Er?"
"He is fine." The elder waved his hand, and from the wall emerged a Jade Box. He reached for the Jade Box and appeared lost in thought.
At that moment, the voice of the Seven Star Spirit echoed within Huo Feng.
"That thing I previously affected you with is inside that child."
Huo Feng became anxious and asked, "What should we do about it?"
"Don't worry; I now realize that it should be something remarkable and beneficial for this child," the Seven Star Spirit replied.
Still feeling uneasy, Huo Feng opened his mouth to question the elder.
Just as Huo Feng began to speak, the elder handed the Jade Box to him and said, "This is your reward for passing the trial. Inside are three Heart Pills and three Tribulation Pills."
Huo Feng did not leap for joy upon receiving the reward; instead, he looked at Yue Er with a worried expression and asked, "Thank you, senior, but I want to know what exactly happened to Yue Er?"
Seeing that Huo Feng was not immediately focused on the elixir but was instead concerned about Yue Er, the old man was extremely pleased with Huo Feng. He replied, "He is fine. He is currently engaged in a fierce struggle. If he succeeds, he will be a king; if he fails, he will be nothing but a worm, forever rendered useless."
The old man's words further confirmed the Seven Star Spirit's speculation. Thus, Huo Feng no longer worried about Yue Er and instead asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"Me? I am someone who has been dead for thousands of years. I still remember my glorious days when people called me the Medicine God. Alas! The past is hard to look back on; I am a failure. I was unwilling to accept my fate and separated my spiritual consciousness from my cultivation before I died."
"I refined my spiritual consciousness and Origin Force into this body and the Inheritance Pill through my superb Alchemy skills. However, this Inheritance Pill has very strict requirements; there must be a high degree of compatibility between the Origin Forces of the inheritor and the one passing it down. I never expected that when I thought I would be buried in the yellow earth in a few years, I would encounter Lu Yue, who is actually my descendant. Truly, heaven has eyes."
Huo Feng was completely shocked. Is this the power of an alchemist? But he had been forced into such a situation in the Otherworld; how formidable must that Otherworld be?
Huo Feng suddenly said, "But if Yue Er is like this, can he withstand your cultivation? I can sense that the power of that Inheritance Pill is probably far beyond what I can imagine."
"Don't worry; this Inheritance Pill triggers in stages and won't explode all at once. Remember, the Heart Pill I gave you is only effective when taken in the Vein Realm, and the Tribulation Pill is only useful in the Calamity Pulse Realm. However, both can be taken when breaking through at the Ninth Level of Connection."
The old man paused for a moment before continuing, "I can't even remember how many years it's been since I've spoken to anyone. Since I've encountered you today, let me share my past with you."
He then recounted his rise and fall to Huo Feng.
After listening to the old man's story, Huo Feng asked, "Senior Lu, you want Yue Er to go to the Otherworld to seek revenge for his family and hope that I can assist him, right?"
Lu Xiaochong replied, "That's right. I can see that you have great opportunities ahead of you and should have a bright future. Moreover, I can tell you have a good character."
Huo Feng smiled slightly and said, "You have given me such a precious item, and since Yue Er is my disciple, of course I will help him."
Lu Xiaochong was overjoyed and said, "Good! I knew I didn't misjudge you. I also have a Stunning Elixir here. I don't even know its potency myself, but I know it is stronger than any elixirs I've ever made before. This elixir was refined using my own essence blood as a sacrifice; I've named it the Supreme Divine Pill."
He then handed a Jade Box to Huo Feng.
Huo Feng took the Jade Box and gently opened the lid. Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed, causing Huo Feng to instinctively close his eyes.
After a moment, when he felt the light was no longer so intense, he opened his eyes and saw a delicate purple bead inside the box, still radiating a shimmering purple glow. However, Huo Feng could not sense any power from it, so he looked at Lu Xiaochong with confusion.
At that moment, the Seven Star Spirit in Huo Feng's mind was shocked, muttering to itself, "How is this possible? This shouldn't exist in this realm at all. How extraordinary must Lu Xiaochong be!"
Lu Xiaochong noticed Huo Feng's confusion and said helplessly, "This is also puzzling to me, but I firmly believe this is the strongest elixir I have refined. I hope you can cultivate to the point where you can fully understand it."
Huo Feng knew that Lu Xiaochong was not deceiving him, but accepting such a precious item made him feel uneasy. Reluctantly, he handed it back to Lu Xiaochong and said, "Senior Lu, this is too valuable; I cannot accept it. You should keep it for Yue Er."
Lu Xiaochong replied, "I also want to keep it for him, but as an alchemist, I cannot reach that level. I am only at the Seventh Level of the Meridian Realm and have not progressed further since."
Huo Feng took back the Jade Box and smiled, saying, "Then thank you very much, Senior. But when will Yue Er wake up?"
"He still needs some time. You should leave for now. I have three years left before I disappear, and during these three years, I want him to stay here to learn Alchemy and understand the effects of the Inheritance Pill."
Lu Xiaochong paused for a moment before continuing, "So you should leave first and focus on your cultivation; otherwise, after three years, your disciple might surpass you."
