Due to the mishap with the two immortals Qing and Hua, Han Feng left the Flower Sect very quickly.
Because of the responsibility of guarding the sect, Hua Yu did not leave with Han Feng but stayed in the sect with Lin Xian'er and the others.
Han Feng and Elder Qing's clone walked on the path to the Illusionary Forest.
"Does Elder Qing not know any array formation grandmasters?"
Han Feng asked.
There is a specialization in every field. For this kind of bewildering formation problem, it is best to find an array formation grandmaster to solve it.
Elder Qing said slightly awkwardly: "Actually, I am an array formation grandmaster..."
"Huh?"
Han Feng looked at the other party in surprise.
Elder Qing turned her head, sighing softly in her heart.
An array formation grandmaster trapped in a bewildering formation—it was truly shameful to say this out loud!
If she hadn't happened to meet Han Feng in the Flower Sect this time, she would have wanted to drag it out a bit longer.
Maybe the main body would find a solution.
"Alright, it seems we can only use brute force this time."
Han Feng said.
When an array formation grandmaster solves a problem, they will definitely consider it comprehensively from the perspective of the formation.
Han Feng was not outstanding in the Dao of Array Formations. Back when he looked for the loopholes in the Spirit Devouring Life Ending Formation, he specially went to ask the grandmaster of array formations in the Hermit Sect.
Although Wang Shu, the Sect Leader of the Hermit Sect, was only a Half-Saint, in terms of array formation attainment, he was definitely better than Elder Qing.
"Actually, the reason I entered the Illusionary Forest this time was that I discovered the spiritual opportunity of a high-level precious medicine maturing there."
Elder Qing revealed at this time.
The Green Wood Immortal Body was sharper in capturing this kind of spiritual opportunity than others. This was an advantage of the physique, unrelated to soul cultivation, more like an intuition, similar to how auspicious beasts sense treasures.
"According to my estimation, that is at least a high-grade Rank 8 precious medicine, maybe even reaching the level of Rank 9. Unfortunately, it is covered by the bewildering formation and cannot be captured accurately."
Elder Qing said: "Originally, I wanted to go in and pick the precious medicine before coming out, but I underestimated the power of the bewildering formation."
Han Feng listened patiently to Elder Qing's narration and said with a smile: "It seems that my motivation to break the formation has increased a bit more this time."
Elder Qing laughed: "If Mr. Han Feng successfully breaks the formation, the Rank 9 precious medicine in my Flower Sect's secret realm can also be given to you."
"Elder Qing, you may not know the temptation of Rank 9 precious medicines to alchemists like us. If you say that again, I might take it seriously."
Han Feng joked.
Hearing this, Elder Qing said: "I am not joking with Mr. Han Feng. If Mr. Han Feng is willing, you can have a long-term trade with the Flower Sect in the future. My Flower Sect provides top-notch spiritual medicines, and you refine pills."
"Does the Flower Sect not have relevant transactions with other forces now?"
Han Feng asked.
Logically speaking, a force like the Flower Sect that specializes in cultivating spiritual plants should have relevant transactions.
"Naturally, there are, but they are all mediocre goods. Only when trading with the Pill Tower will some Rank 8 medicinal ingredients be brought out."
Elder Qing said: "As for Rank 9, it has never been traded."
Rank 9 precious medicines are extremely precious foundation-level materials for any force. They are reluctant to use them themselves, let alone trade them.
Even in the Pill Tower, only the top few people can refine Rank 9 pills.
However, there is also a medicine garden secret realm in the Pill Tower, and the concentration of spiritual Qi inside will definitely not be lower than that of the Flower Sect's secret realm.
Han Feng suddenly remembered a small paradise he found under the Great Rift Valley in the Southern Region back then, which he named "Medicine Saint Valley".
After so many years, presumably many top-notch spiritual medicines have grown there too.
"The Illusionary Forest is ahead."
Elder Qing suddenly spoke up at this time.
Han Feng saw a huge forest in the distance, with a burst of fog shrouding the sky above it. Even soul power could not penetrate it.
It was somewhat similar to the fog above the Great Rift Valley back then; both were strange things capable of suppressing soul power.
Han Feng and Elder Qing stopped at the edge of the fog, observing the surrounding situation.
This kind of formation might have arrangements on the periphery.
However, after looking around, Han Feng did not find any clues.
Elder Qing tried to sense the main body inside the bewildering formation, but undoubtedly failed.
Han Feng summoned a puppet casually and let it enter the fog to explore.
However, not long after the puppet entered the bewildering formation, the connection with Han Feng was cut off.
Han Feng condensed a Dou Qi arm, reached into the fog, and pulled the puppet out.
"This formation really has some tricks. It seems it specifically isolates soul power."
The effects of formations are magical. Some can suppress Dou Qi, some can suppress the soul, and some can refine flesh and blood.
But no matter how powerful the formation is, it can only affect the living beings inside the formation.
Han Feng raised his hand, and vast energy began to surge in the sky.
"Yellow Spring Palm!"
Boom!
A huge palm print descended from the sky. Wherever it passed, the surrounding air froze into ice.
The palm print hovered outside the fog. Because of the worry about accidentally injuring the living beings inside, it did not truly fall.
The Yellow Spring palm force eroded the fog, freezing it into ice.
Although this fog could isolate the soul, its defense against Dou Qi was not that powerful.
As the ice layer continued to spread, Han Feng slapped down another palm.
"Mysterious Yellow Suppressing Heaven Palm!"
Boom!
The second palm print slapped down, and all the condensed ice shattered in response.
However, in the next moment, the surrounding fog spread over quickly, filling the broken gap.
Han Feng and Elder Qing watched this scene without being discouraged.
"The bewildering formation has the ability to self-repair, but its energy has obviously decayed."
Both discovered this characteristic of the bewildering formation.
"Elder Qing's main body inside the bewildering formation should have also sensed our attacks from the outside."
Elder Qing nodded but wondered: "My sister should have also discovered this pattern. With her steadiness, she wouldn't rush into the formation without being sure of its pattern, but she is not here now..."
Just as she finished speaking, several white fog hands suddenly stretched out from the bewildering formation and launched an attack on the two without warning.
The speed was so fast that Elder Qing didn't even react.
Just as she was about to be grabbed by the fog hand, Han Feng's hand rested on her shoulder in advance.
Yellow light flashed under Han Feng's feet, and his figure disappeared abruptly, then appeared a few miles away.
Outside the bewildering formation, the fog hand lost its target, circled rapidly around a few times, and retracted.
"Didn't expect the bewildering formation to attack proactively. It seems Elder Hua was dragged into the formation by this move."
Han Feng just said that the formation would not affect living beings outside the formation, and he was slapped in the face so quickly.
"What do we do now?"
Elder Qing worried.
"Hmm?"
Han Feng looked at the worried Elder Qing and smiled: "Don't worry. I just tested it a bit just now, and I have a rough idea now."
A formation capable of trapping a Half-Saint is considered relatively precious. If broken by force, Han Feng would feel it somewhat a pity.
Han Feng returned to the front of the formation again. The fog surged, seemingly having identified the culprit who attacked it just now, and prepared to strike again.
But this time, Han Feng did not retreat. Instead, he took out a scroll with mysterious laws floating on it.
"Mountain and River Map, Collect!"
The scroll opened, sprinkling miraculous brilliance. A huge suction force erupted from the world inside the map.
Under this force, the surrounding land and mountains were uprooted. The entire forest, as if a piece was missing from it, was forcibly sucked into the Mountain and River Map.
Elder Qing on the side opened her mouth slightly upon seeing this scene.
Dou Saint powerhouses can create stable spatial secret realms; this is an ability only true Dou Saints possess.
"Mr. Han Feng, is this useful?"
Elder Qing asked.
Han Feng reached out his hand to her, "Whether it's useful or not, come in with me and see, and you'll know."
Elder Qing reached out her hand. Han Feng held it, then with a flash of light, they entered the Mountain and River Map.
At this moment, the fog that had just been sucked into this place began to become restless due to the disturbance of the Qi mechanism of heaven and earth.
Han Feng and Elder Qing appeared in mid-air, looking down at the overflowing fog below.
"I control the laws here. Be it a dragon or a tiger, as long as it enters here, it is at my mercy."
Hearing this, Elder Qing was shocked in her heart.
At his mercy?
This is not as simple as an ordinary secret realm space!
According to Han Feng, this is a place dominated solely by him.
To achieve this level, even a Dou Saint powerhouse would need unique methods, right?
With a thought from Han Feng, the fog below was instantly wrapped up and separated from the forest.
This fog has extraordinary effects, with a strong effect on blocking soul power, worth studying a bit.
As the fog was extracted, the Illusionary Forest gradually revealed itself in their sight.
There were many living beings in the forest collected into the Mountain and River Map by Han Feng, including the two immortals Qing and Hua. However, looking at their positions, there was still a large distance between them.
Seeing the main body out of trouble, Elder Qing beside Han Feng smiled slightly, then dissipated into flower petals.
Elder Qing's main body in the forest slowly looked up and glanced at Han Feng gratefully.
"Finally out of trouble..."
If she continued to stay in the Illusionary Forest, she really couldn't stand it.
This feeling of being restricted by heaven and earth was really not wonderful.
Because the sense of space is lost in the bewildering formation, even flying upwards would only be moving back and forth within a square inch, seeming never to find the end.
Compared to Elder Qing's relief, Elder Hua looked around vigilantly, somewhat puzzled by the sudden dispersal of the fog.
After her preliminary exploration, this bewildering formation could last for at least two years. Now that it dispersed, it meant a powerful external force had intervened.
Elder Qing quickly found Elder Hua.
"Sister, follow me."
Seeing Elder Qing appear, Elder Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is it the helper you found?"
Elder Qing nodded.
"You can even invite a Dou Saint powerhouse? Where did you find him?"
Elder Hua was somewhat puzzled.
She looked at the figure standing in mid-air. The pressure in his demeanor just now was undoubtedly above hers.
"Sister, he is Han Feng, Yao Chen's apprentice."
Elder Qing said.
Hearing this, Elder Hua looked stunned.
"He is Han Feng?!"
Elder Hua's relationship with Yao Chen was average, far less interactive than that between Elder Qing and Yao Chen, so she had only heard of Han Feng.
Knowing at this moment that a junior actually became a Dou Saint, Elder Hua's heart was extremely shaken.
"When I heard the news, I was as surprised as you."
Elder Qing said with a complex look in her eyes.
"Fortunately, he brought Qingyun to the Flower Sect this time. Otherwise, we sisters might have been trapped here for a few years."
Hearing this, Elder Hua was somewhat embarrassed: "I was also careless this time. This bewildering formation is indeed formidable."
With the current cultivation of the two immortals Qing and Hua, there are very few bewildering formations that can trap them.
If this secret formation was not born of heaven and earth, then the person who created it must also be a Dou Saint level powerhouse.
The sisters talked for a while, then flew towards Han Feng.
"Mr. Han Feng, thank you very much this time."
Elder Qing thanked him.
Han Feng waved his hand to indicate it was nothing, while looking at Elder Hua.
"Elder Hua, nice to meet you for the first time. Hello."
"Mr. Han Feng."
Elder Hua seemed a bit nervous and suddenly gave Han Feng a grand salute, making Han Feng somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing this, Elder Qing smiled gently and stepped forward.
She knew her sister's character best. Not good at socializing with people, keeping cool and detached facing strangers was fine, but now knowing Han Feng is a Dou Saint powerhouse who saved their sisters, she naturally couldn't respond with her usual cool attitude. Her sister must be extremely nervous inside now.
"Mr. Han Feng, shall we go see the precious medicine in the Illusionary Forest?"
Elder Qing proposed.
Han Feng nodded and looked at the Illusionary Forest below.
Elder Qing's estimation was not wrong; the precious medicine in the Illusionary Forest had indeed stepped into Rank 9.
Also thanks to the cover of this layer of bewildering formation; otherwise, this Rank 9 precious medicine probably wouldn't have been left for Han Feng and the others.
With a thought from Han Feng, in the next instant, the three appeared near the Rank 9 precious medicine.
Picking a Rank 9 precious medicine would cause quite a commotion. The escaping energy of heaven and earth would form anomalies, easily attracting the attention of other powerhouses. But now they were in the Mountain and River Map, so they didn't have to worry about this problem.
"It really is a Rank 9 precious medicine!"
Elder Hua said pleasantly surprised.
Every Rank 9 precious medicine is a rare treasure. Even if taken directly, the effect is better than a peak Rank 8 pill.
"Mr. Han Feng, please. As agreed before, this Rank 9 precious medicine belongs to you."
Elder Qing took a deep breath and said to Han Feng with a smile.
Elder Hua reacted at this time, nodding to Han Feng with a smile, obviously agreeing with her sister's decision.
Although the Rank 9 precious medicine is incredibly precious, compared to the grace of rescue, obviously the latter is more important.
Han Feng did not stand on ceremony, stepping forward to pull out the Rank 9 precious medicine along with its roots.
Boom!
A powerful pillar of energy light soared into the sky, illuminating the interior of the Mountain and River Map brightly.
"Nine-Leaved Tianzhu Fruit, an excellent spiritual medicine for nourishing the soul. I didn't expect it to grow in the Illusionary Forest."
Han Feng exclaimed.
Several hundred combinations of herbs appeared in his mind, and he quickly thought of how to use this Nine-Leaved Tianzhu Fruit to refine a Rank 9 pill.
The mysterious fog isolating the soul actually nurtured a Rank 9 precious medicine; it was truly magical.
Han Feng had a bit more desire to explore the fog collected just now.
"There are some other spiritual medicines in this Illusionary Forest. Elder Qing, Elder Hua, the rest is up to you."
Everyone gets a share. Although Han Feng came to rescue the two this time, if they hadn't asked for help, Han Feng wouldn't have had the chance to get this Nine-Leaved Tianzhu Fruit either.
Elder Qing didn't stand on ceremony with Han Feng this time. Taking advantage of the safety now that the Illusionary Forest was in the Mountain and River Map, the two women quickly searched and picked the remaining spiritual medicines.
Half an hour later, the two women ended the "battle".
With a wave of his hand, Han Feng moved the entire Illusionary Forest out of the Mountain and River Map and put it back in its original place.
The Illusionary Forest is also a magical region, but if it leaves the Qi mechanism of heaven and earth, this magical effect might gradually disappear.
The mysteries of heaven and earth are never-ending to explore. With the Illusionary Forest returning to the Dou Qi Continent, maybe it can grow treasures again in the future.
Han Feng used the Mysterious Yellow Flame to fill the earth Qi lost here due to the migration. After finishing the work, he said to the two women: "Ladies, let's return to the Flower Sect."
