Han Feng raised his eyes, stared at Dian Qing, and said nothing more. This information could be easily obtained with a little investigation, posing little risk.
As long as he is not betrayed by his fellow disciples, there are very few people in the world who can take Dian Qing's life. Even if the six elders of the Farmer's Clan joined forces, they would find it difficult to harm him in the slightest.
Tian Hu, on the other hand, was the kind of person who would never lay a hand on his own brothers.
Firstly, strategy and tactics are not his forte;
Secondly, he has a domineering and fierce personality, and he is self-centered, making it difficult for others to influence his will.
Tian Hu was an anomaly among the Hundred Schools of Thought, and the Luo Wang (a military organization) had once suffered a crushing defeat at his hands.
Others might be tempted to betray him, but Tian Hu would never do so.
His clan was full of Jing Ni and his followers were all assassins from Luo Wang, yet he still lived a carefree life.
What was originally a doomed situation for the Luo Wang organization's large-scale infiltration of the Farmer's Clan headquarters was turned around by him, allowing him to infiltrate the Luo Wang's Farmer's Clan branch by himself.
Moreover, everyone knew about this, except for him.
He was an undercover agent who was completely open and aboveboard, without any concealment.
The police were helpless and could only watch as he swaggered around the streets, pointing fingers and making comments. Such an arrogant undercover agent from a rural family was a rare sight in the world.
Tian Hu was truly the most extraordinary man of the Qin Dynasty.
After hearing Han Feng's words, Dian Qing did not make a clear statement, only saying: "I will follow Master's lead."
"I am a soldier of Wei Wu. 々. 々!"
"Second Junior Brother, never again utter such risky words, lest the walls have ears." As Han Feng spoke, Dian Qing was already secretly alert, wary of whether anyone was eavesdropping.
He was well aware of the treacherous and dangerous nature of power struggles, and his second junior brother was young and impetuous, inevitably speaking without restraint. As the senior brother, he had to vet him and avoid potential crises.
Han Feng noticed Dian Qing's wariness and respected him even more.
"Don't worry, senior brother. What I just said is known only to you and me. There was no third person present."
“From now on, Junior Brother will no longer speak lightly about matters involving power.”
He clasped his hands in a respectful bow and paid his respects to Dianqing.
"Just do your best, that's enough." Dian Qing looked at Han Feng, then glanced at the almost untouched medicinal food on the table, and asked in confusion, "Second Junior Brother, why aren't you continuing your meal?"
"Senior brother, I...I really can't eat anymore."
Han Feng rubbed his stomach, looking embarrassed.
In truth, he was filled with admiration for the power to dissolve the life seal. He only tasted a small amount, and thanks to his exceptionally high absorption rate of medicinal food,
It has an effect equivalent to nearly twenty times the amount a normal person eats.
The medicinal cuisine on the table at this moment is prepared according to the extremely low absorption rate of ordinary people.
For him, he was indeed really stuffed.
At this moment, my internal digestive system is like a furnace running at full power.
321. Cultivating Iron Armor Skill
It frantically breaks down medicinal foods to absorb massive amounts of nutrients.
The abundant nutrients that surged in quickly replenished his previously depleted energy and blood, and the momentum grew even stronger.
"If I weren't exceptionally healthy, such a frantic replenishment of my qi and blood would probably have caused me to explode and die."
Seeing that his second junior brother had indeed eaten his fill, Dian Qing understood his appetite and decided not to make so much medicinal food next time to avoid waste.
After all, the Armored Sect had limited financial resources and could not afford to purchase large quantities of medicinal herbs and lean meat.
The resources required to raise a single Wei Wu soldier are staggering.
Otherwise, the State of Wei would never have known the might of the Wei Wuzu (Wei elite infantry) yet abandoned the proper training methods simply because they could not afford to support them.
"Second Brother, take a rest for now. If you really can't eat any more, don't force yourself."

"Otherwise, it will damage your spleen and stomach."
After speaking, Dian Qing stood up and slowly walked out of the room.
"Junior brother respectfully sees off senior brother." Han Feng bowed and waited for Dian Qing to leave before sitting down again.
Looking at the mountain of medicinal food piled on the table, I felt a deep sense of regret.
"It is now really hard to swallow, and the body's qi and blood replenishment is almost saturated."
"It's such a pity to waste such delicious food."
The external martial arts practiced by ordinary disciples of the Armored Sect are not the complete Hundred Refinements of Shield and Armor.
It is a simplified version of the armor-wearing technique.
Firstly, it was to secretly preserve the legacy of the Wei Wu soldiers; secondly, the sect's financial resources were limited.
We are truly unable to support multiple disciples who have mastered the art of shield and armor refinement.
Although "Iron Armor Skill" is slightly inferior to "Stone Body Protection," it requires far fewer cultivation resources. While the types of medicinal herbs differ, their prices are more affordable.
Those high-grade medicinal diets that come with "Rock-Solid Protection" are like potent tonics to ordinary disciples like tigers and wolves; if they were to ingest them by mistake, their lives would be in danger.
Only their two masters—one being Jinwen Zhenren, who had already reached the pinnacle of external martial arts, and the other being their senior brother Jingyun, who was about to enter the Great Perfection realm—did not find this kind of basic medicinal diet particularly helpful.
Han Feng stared at the expensive medicinal meal before him, his mind filled with thoughts.
"Since my body's qi and blood are almost saturated..."
"So, if I can concentrate and strengthen the quality of my Qi and blood, can I reduce the total amount accordingly, thereby indirectly increasing the resilience of my Qi and blood?"
"In this way, we can avoid wasting this precious medicinal food and also enhance my foundation in external martial arts."
Faced with this new attempt with unknown results, Han Feng decided to take a gamble.
"What if it succeeds?"
He closed his eyes and focused intently on the matter.
"The so-called Qi and Blood, in essence, are the fusion and coexistence of 'Qi' and 'Blood'."
"Qi is like the fire of life, ever-flowing and governing all metabolism and physiological functions of the human body. Once qi is exhausted, life comes to an end."
"The generation of Qi originates from 'Jing'. Jing is the source of Qi. It has form and is stored in the five internal organs and six bowels. It is tranquil and belongs to Yin. Qi has no form but is generated from Jing. It circulates throughout the body and is lively and belongs to Yang."
"Nourish the essence and strengthen the life force. This is the primary direction of exploration."
Han Feng pondered silently for a moment, and the classification of the human body's "essence" gradually became clear in his memory: innate essence, essence of grains, reproductive essence, and essence of internal organs.
"The innate essence originates from the beginning of life, and the most valuable element for refining is the 'reincarnation jellyfish' that can live forever."
"However, this creature dwells in the deep sea, and Wei is located in the heart of the Central Plains, making it impossible to find. We will set it aside for now and try to acquire it another time when the opportunity arises."
322. Sudden Enlightenment of the Wings-Shaping Technique
"The essence of the five grains can be replenished simply through food. My life seal has the power to dissolve them, so there is no need to elaborate."
"As for the reproductive essence, it concerns the continuation of life and reproduction."
"In this Central Plains, perhaps no creature is better at this than the 'Teddy Dog.' They seem to be busy with reproduction all day long, with no time for anything else."
“Teddy dogs can be included in the candidate list.”
After selecting a target, Han Feng turned his attention to the issue of the essence of the liver.
However, after much thought, he could not find any creature that excelled in this area, so he had to put it aside for the time being and discuss it again later.
"Now that a suitable target has been identified, the next step is to explore the 'blood'."
He adjusted his thinking and focused his attention on "human blood".
"Qi is the commander of blood, and blood is the mother of qi."
"When Qi is abundant, the spirit is vigorous; when blood is plentiful, the body is healthy."
"Qi can generate blood, circulate blood, and contain blood; blood can nourish qi and carry qi, hence the saying that blood is yin and qi is yang."
"Among creatures in nature, insects with an extremely strong ability to control blood are like ticks, bedbugs, fleas, and mosquitoes."
Han Feng opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was the golden autumn harvest season, which was also the time when mosquitoes were most active.
"Teddy dogs and mosquitoes are the two I'm targeting this time."
He looked inward into his upper dantian and saw the six immortal seals, which emanated immortal light, appearing and disappearing within his soul body, as if breathing on their own.
Using the power of the Immortal Seal, Han Feng remotely transmitted information about the Teddy dog's appearance, aura, and physique to You Ying.
"Go and catch a few dogs like these for me right away. Remember, they must be male."
After making the arrangements, Han Feng got up and walked out of the room. He took a drop of blood and applied it to his skin, then stood quietly under the shade of a tree and waited.
Soon, a gray-white mosquito attracted by the smell came to Han Feng. Without hesitation, Han Feng summoned the Life-and-Death Furnace and captured the female mosquito inside.
Immediately, he activated the Yang Furnace of the Furnace of Life and Death with his mind and began to forge new techniques.
The furnace glowed softly, its light gentle and not glaring. Han Feng didn't have high expectations for the outcome of this smelting process. A short while later, the furnace lid opened automatically, and a secret totem as thin as a cicada's wing flew out, its size even smaller than his fingernail.
