13: Take Haixinyan! 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’ll lose your life before your name even becomes known.

As a chaotic region renowned throughout the continent, here, strong individuals die every day, and strong individuals also flock in from outside every day.

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

Here, Advanced Cultivation Techniques, Dou Techniques, various divine weapons, armor, Medicine Cauldrons, medicinal ingredients, Advanced Medicinal Pills, and so on, which are rarely seen outside, are dazzlingly abundant.

It is said that in the Black-Corner Region’s auction houses, Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques have appeared twice.

Of course, to obtain these, you need to pay a price. This price might be money, or it might be other items in exchange.

In short, in the Black-Corner Region, there will never be a free lunch.

Although Gu Fei was here for the first time, he was very clear about the powers in the Black-Corner Region.

He concealed his face, found a place to inquire about information, and once he had clarified the location of Maple City, Gu Fei rushed over.

Maple City is located outside the thousand-mile mountain range of the Jia Nan Academy’s Inner Academy. The city is not large, yet in the Black-Corner Region, it holds a crucial position.

The reason is none other than the Alchemist Emperor of the Black-Corner Region, Han Feng, residing here.

As the foremost person in Alchemy within the Black-Corner Region, Han Feng, who had long since become a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, held a considerably high status in the hearts of many powers and even strong individuals.

Of course, a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, even when viewed across the entire continent, is not too bad; at least he fares better than others.

Ordinary Dou Emperors, and even Dou Zong strong individuals, would still be courteous to him when they met.

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

Maple City, this city, was named after Han Feng.

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

In the very center of the city, there is a bamboo forest, completely different from the bustling market outside.

This bamboo forest has extremely strict defenses; ordinary people cannot even enter, let alone approach.

Even getting within a certain range would result in indiscriminate attacks.

Every year, quite a few people are killed by the bamboo forest guards for these reasons.

Therefore, although it is quiet here, it is also a Forbidden Ground in the hearts of many people in Maple City.

Deep within the bamboo forest, there is a Bamboo House, and within it, a relatively high bamboo room with a window.

A man sat cross-legged, dressed in an Alchemist robe, with an exquisitely crafted “Feng” character on the back of the robe.

At this moment, the man was deeply engrossed in a medicinal formula in his hand, appearing very focused and undistracted.

While quietly engrossed, the man, whose head was lowered, suddenly looked up, his sharp gaze sweeping around.

Gu Fei had already arrived nearby. Although Han Feng didn't detect anything unusual, a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

He scanned his gaze around, and his Dou Qi perception didn't detect any disturbance.

[Han Feng experiences unease, gaining 15 Emotion Points]

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

Han Feng suddenly turned his head, startled by Gu Fei, breaking out in a cold sweat.

[Han Feng experiences fear, gaining 20 Emotion Points]

How is this possible? This person broke through all the defenses, was not discovered by anyone, and just suddenly appeared beside him.

Han Feng didn't understand the purpose of this person's visit and dared not attack him rashly.

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

Whether to stall for time or to probe, Han Feng politely cupped his fists and asked, “Little brother, why have you suddenly come to my Bamboo House?”

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

Gu Fei spoke directly, stating his purpose.

Han Feng was naturally both surprised and angry.

This Sea Heart Flame was like his lifeblood; without it, his Alchemy strength would greatly decline.

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

He became enraged, thinking that perhaps Gu Fei had a treasure that could shield his aura to appear so suddenly.

It definitely wasn't because of his extraordinary strength.

Han Feng's eyes suddenly slowly closed, and with a flick of his fingertip, a deep blue flame, like clear lake water, strangely emerged from within his body, finally enveloping him tightly.

This deep blue flame was quite peculiar; it looked as if a pool of clear lake water was flowing, yet the most truthful sensation clearly told people 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 dramatically at this moment.

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

The ball of flame flew out, but the scene Han Feng had envisioned, where Gu Fei would be incinerated, did not occur.

Gu Fei reached out a hand, and the Sea Heart Flame stopped in front of him, unable to move forward 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 House, could not contend with.

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's expression did not change in the slightest when he was suddenly attacked by the strange flame.

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 towards him.

But Gu Fei thought that if someone asked him for his most precious item upon meeting him, he would also want to kill the other party.

Therefore, Gu Fei did not kill Han Feng.

Moreover, although Han Feng had offended Old Yao and Xiao Yan, he didn't need him to seek revenge.

After all, the feud between Han Feng and Xiao Yan and Old Yao 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 he Cultivated was originally an ordinary fire-attribute Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, but after an evolution using Emotion Points previously, this Cultivation Technique mutated.

Ordinary people can only refine one type of strange flame in their lifetime. Strange flames are extremely violent; even the Yan Clan Chief can only forcibly fuse two strange flames into a new strange flame.

However, by Cultivating this mutated Cultivation Technique, Gu Fei could fuse five different strange flames.

At this moment, Gu Fei's attention was on the Sea Heart Flame, and he forcibly stored it within his body first.

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

[Han Feng experiences extreme fear, gaining 30 Emotion Points]

Gu Fei's expression became a little more pleasant.

Han Feng's Luck value was stronger than ordinary people, so the Emotion Points he gained from emotional fluctuations were also considerably higher than others.
