In the end,'s death was like paper being wrapped in fire.

Two months later, when a few students of the Flowing Cloud Academy and alchemy department were searching for the Devil Core in the Tian Yin Mountain Range, they discovered the cave where Gu Yang once lived.

When they entered the cave, they found Gu Yang's tombstone. After that, they reported the news of Gu Yang's death to Flowing Cloud Academy.

The first to learn of this was the Alchemist Department's Elder, Ge Hong. As a Grade Three Alchemist, Ge Hong naturally knew of Gu Yang's position and importance in the Tianxuan Empire. Hence, he immediately ordered the few students to not spread this information, otherwise they would have been expelled.

How could those few Alchemy students dare to say anything else?

Elder Ge Hong reported this matter to the Elder Pavilion of the Academy. The Chief Elder of the Elder Pavilion, Wu Zun, furrowed his brows.

"Master Gu Yang had long since reached the cultivation of a six star Martial King three years ago. Currently, his strength should be at least eight star, how many people in the Tianxuan Empire can easily kill him without making the slightest of movements?" In the conference room of the Flowing Cloud Academy Elder Pavilion, Wu Zun said in deep thoughts.

"It's impossible for an expert from the Tianxuan Empire to harm the Master Gu Yang. After all, he's from the Fourth Grade Pill Refining Master, could it be that an expert from the Zi Yun Empire infiltrated our Tianxuan Empire?" An elder guessed.

"It's very possible that the Purple Cloud Empire has always been eyeing our Tianxuan Empire covetously, and since the Master Gu Yang is a Fourth Grade Pill Refining Master, it is what they are afraid of. Now that the Master Gu Yang is dead and has lost its ability to summon others, the Purple Cloud Empire will definitely attack our Tianxuan Empire someday." The hypothesis of the other elder was also logical.

They were all pointing their spears at the Empire of Zi Yun. In their opinion, only the Zi Yun Empire would dare act against the Master Gu Yang.

"I think things are not that simple." Yang Fann spoke up.

"Oh?" Yang Fann, then what do you think? " Wu Zun replied.

You must know, if they took the opportunity to attack our Tianxuan Empire after killing the Master Gu Yang, wouldn't that mean that the people of the world would know that the culprit who killed the Master Gu Yang was none other than their Zi Yun Empire? Are they not afraid of the revenge from Master Gu Yang's friends? "

After Yang Fann finished speaking, his expression slightly straightened, and said with a heavy tone: "A while ago, I discovered a group of suspicious people. If I'm not mistaken, they should be people from the Soul Devouring Hall!"

"Soul Devouring Hall?" When the elders heard this, they were all shocked.

"Yang Fann, don't even think about making wild guesses. It's impossible for people from the Soul Devouring Hall to appear in a place like ours. I think this must be done by the Zi Yun Empire. " Wu Zun frowned, denying his conclusion.

"I was only guessing. After all, I'm not familiar with it either." Yang Fann quickly analyzed.

"Alright, I will report this matter to the empire. You all can leave now, remember the news of Master Gu Yang's death well, otherwise, it will bring disaster to our empire." After Wu Zun finished, he looked at Yang Fann and said, "Yang Fann, you stay."

When everyone had left, Wu Zun asked seriously: "Are you sure you saw someone from the Soul Devouring Hall?"

"That day, I was also present. The Black-Cloaked Man that killed Feng Luoyang was undoubtedly one of the people using the Soul Devouring Hall, because they used the Art of Soulreaper." As Yang Fann recalled the scene from that day, he sucked in a breath of cold air.

When Feng Ge returned to the Heavenly Peak City and encountered the Black-Cloaked Man s, Yang Fann had been hiding in secret the entire time. He wanted to kill Feng Luoyang with his Soul Devouring Hall and seize the Dragon Soul Jade on Feng Ge's body as well as the mysterious expert's appearance.

"If it's really Soul Devouring Hall, then the empire doesn't face any danger, but, who is that mysterious expert?" Wu Zun frowned and continued to ask: "Now we can confirm that the Heavenly Peak City is the Feng Clan descendant of the Martial Continent, then, Feng Ge is the descendant of the Feng Clan bloodline, no wonder his talent in cultivation is so high!"

"Elder, the Soul Devouring Hall has already targeted Feng Ge, which is very disadvantageous for our academy. I think, should we tell this matter to the Principal?" Yang Fann suggested.

After all, this was an academy, and such a huge matter had to be reported to the dean for his decision.

"If this matter were to be reported to the courtyard, then there will only be two options waiting for Feng Ge." Wu Zun said in silence.

"But, once Feng Ge is expelled from the academy, he will definitely die." Yang Fann said solemnly.

"You also think that the Principal would expel Feng Ge from the academy?" Wu Zun asked.

"The dean won't let the academy get involved in this mess." Yang Fann nodded.

"Then don't tell the dean for now." "I will decide on this matter four months later after the result of the 'Strong Ranking' fight." Wu Zun clenched his teeth and decided.

For the sake of nurturing a genius warrior, this was what the academy wished for, not to mention that Feng Ge was an alchemist right now. This made Wu Zun even more unwilling to let him go.

Yang Fann also nodded to the side, expressing his agreement. After all, he was the one who chose and raised Feng Ge all by himself, you have to know, Yang Fann had spent a lot of effort to cultivate Feng Ge.

"..."

"Phew … Phew … Phew …" In one of the Practice Room s, a cauldron of flames was currently burning, and the entire Practice Room was filled with the smell of medicine.

Fortunately, the Practice Room was sealed, and the fragrance of the medicine did not spread out. Otherwise, the students who were cultivating outside would have already boiled over.

"This is already the seventh time. If I don't succeed this time, there will be no more medicinal herbs." Feng Ge frowned, and said to himself.

Looking around, Practice Room was no longer filled with medicinal herbs like it was two months ago. It was completely empty around him and there was no trace of any more medicinal herbs.

After more than two months of continuous refining, Feng Ge had secretly prepared all of the medicinal ingredients for him. Now, there was only the last material left in his furnace.

"I didn't expect that the second rank Spirit Breaking Pill would be so hard to refine." Feng Ge was already sweating profusely, what he was refining was a second grade pill called the Spirit Breaking Pill.

Spirit Breaking Pill was a miraculous pellet that could help cultivators break through their bottlenecks and smoothly advance to the next stage. Under normal circumstances, many people would no longer be able to progress after they reached a certain point in their cultivation, and that was because they were stuck at their bottleneck and would not be able to break through.

As for Spirit Breaking Pill s, they were pills that could break through bottlenecks. In the market, even a tier-1 Spirit Breaking Pill was very popular. Because most young warriors were eager to achieve success, those who wanted to become a Martial Master would crazily buy Spirit Breaking Pill as they were stuck at their bottleneck.

The price of second grade Spirit Breaking Pill s was not cheap, and as for third or fourth grade Spirit Breaking Pill s, they were even more precious.

To be able to refine a second grade Spirit Breaking Pill, one had to be a second tier alchemist. In that case, Feng Ge was already a second tier alchemist?

"Phew …" From within the pill furnace, another burst of fire flew out. A green smoke emitted from the pill furnace.

"Ai …" He had failed again. It seems like I still need some time before I can level up to the Second Rank. But now that I don't have any more herbs, what should I do? " Feng Ge sighed.

So it turned out that Feng Ge had not truly become a second stage Alchemist. He wanted to refine a second stage Spirit Breaking Pill to see if his own skill could be considered second stage.

However, there were no more herbs. There were only about four months left. How could he do without any herbs?

Feng Ge took out three White Jade Bottle s and muttered to himself, "These medicinal pellets that have been refined in the past two months should be able to exchange for a carriage full of medicinal ingredients. I will first rest for a while, and then come out tomorrow."

The current Feng Ge was truly tired. In these two months, he practically only rested for two hours every day, and spent the rest of the time refining medicine, or cultivating the Spiritual Strength. He rarely truly rested, and once he laid down, he immediately fell asleep.

And just as he was sleeping soundly, a figure appeared within his Practice Room.

This person looked to be thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. He was tall and slender, had a straight nose, a beard on his lips, thick hair, and a pair of eyes that constantly narrowed into two slits, revealing his ruthlessness.

He, was Hei Ying!

Hei Ying's sharp eyes looked at Feng Ge who had already fallen asleep, and could not help but secretly praise him: "As expected of the bloodline of Feng Clan, his talent is so high, in a short two months, not only did his strength increase to six stars, his skill in alchemy also increased to two levels, no wonder young miss valued him so much."

In the end, Hei Ying shook his head helplessly. He raised his left hand and extended his index finger, only to see a seemingly ancient ring on his index finger, and in the next second, something surprising happened.

In the next second, countless medicinal ingredients emerged from his seemingly ancient ring. These medicinal ingredients gently descended onto the ground of the Practice Room, and then, they slowly accumulated into a mountain …

This... It was simply too unbelievable. If Feng Ge were to see this scene, he would definitely cry out in shock. Not because there were so many herbs, but because of that magical ring!

"These medicinal ingredients are enough for you to become a tier three alchemist. Work hard. Hopefully, you will not disappoint our young lady in the future …" After Hei Ying finished talking to himself, he glanced at Feng Ge once more, and then disappeared slowly like a mirage …
