After careful consideration, Han Feng found a suitable target.
"There's no need to choose overly special birds, as that would only make them more easily spotted."
"Common, numerous, and small birds are actually more discreet and safer for reconnaissance."
"The sparrow, which is widely distributed and the most common, is the best choice."
The target bird for smelting the dead puppets has been identified.
Han Feng adjusted his direction and ventured a little further into the roadside woods. He held his breath, listened carefully, and soon locked onto the tracks of a flock of sparrows.
"Whoosh!"
His agile body leaped into the air in an instant, his toes repeatedly using the tree trunk and branches for leverage.
They vanished from the spot in an instant.
Han Feng leaped into the air, his arms outstretched like an eagle spreading its wings. His eyes flashed like thunder, fixed on his target, and then his right palm instantly appeared with five fingers, swiftly striking down.
"唳唳唳!"
Its claws swept across all directions.
An inconspicuous little sparrow had fallen into its palm.
Startled, the flock of sparrows scattered and fled in all directions, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest in an instant.
"Since the shattered body of that fat spider monster was perfectly restored during the reshaping and refining process in the Furnace of Life and Death after it was destroyed last time."
"To repair the damaged body, it is necessary to consume the primordial power within the Furnace of Life and Death."
With his mind racing, Han Feng precisely clamped the little sparrow's slender neck with his right index finger and thumb, strangling it to death with brute force.
Strive to keep the body intact.
"I wonder if this puppet's body still possesses any other wondrous uses?" This thought suddenly occurred to him, and Han Feng fell into deep thought: "Unfortunately, the source energy is insufficient, making it difficult to attempt..."
While pondering, his hands never stopped moving, freely controlling the Furnace of Life and Death to manifest in the world.
"Hmm? Something's off!"
"The mysterious essence within its core has actually increased in size?"
With a quick glance, Han Feng instantly realized what was happening, and was overjoyed.
He examined the Furnace of Life and Death repeatedly, trying to find more clues. However, apart from the inexplicable increase in the core mysterious source, no other changes were observed.
"When did the origin grow rapidly? And what caused this rapid growth?"
"After six years, we finally found a clue to recharge."
He took several deep breaths, trying his best to suppress his inner excitement and calm himself down.
Upon careful reflection, section 1.5 was analyzed in depth.
"Around noon today, I used the power of the Yin Furnace of the Furnace of Life and Death to refine two undead. Although it consumed some of my essence, I did not see any signs of them recharging on their own."
"For the past six years, the core essence of the Furnace of Life and Death has been naturally recovering at an extremely slow pace. In other words, under normal circumstances, there should be no significant change in the essence from noon to dusk."
204. Continue refining the Fire Spirit Thorn
"But in reality, there have been some strange increases and unusual changes that are happening during this period."
He precisely locked the timeframe in his mind to these few hours.
Han Feng stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed, trying his best to recall.
"During this period, the only thing I did that was different from usual was to save a little girl in a certain tribe."
"Could it be because of the act of saving lives?"
"But that's not right either. Before I saved people, I killed even more people."
Han Feng had to broaden his thinking and come up with bold ideas.
"To eliminate demons and protect the righteous path?"
"Support the weak and suppress the strong?"
"Doing justice for the heavens?"
"Am I some kind of righteous person?"
Helplessly shaking his head, he dismissed the jumbled thoughts in his mind.
He recalled his past experiences of obtaining the Furnace of Life and Death, and secretly speculated: "The Furnace of Life and Death is hidden within the passage of reincarnation. Such a divine artifact must be extraordinary."
"The standards of good and evil defined by ordinary people are simply incapable of touching such divine artifacts."
"Because it transcends the mortal realm, no one is qualified to judge it."
"Even if judged by the standards of good and evil, my act of saving that little girl might be considered a good deed."
"But for those I have killed, my actions are wrong and evil."
"The core essence should be abnormal reduction."
"Therefore, the hypothesis that merit, karma, resentment, etc. are the supplementary sources can be ruled out."
He gently stroked his chin with his left hand, a look of confusion appearing between his brows.
I meticulously recalled my previous encounter with the tribe, not daring to miss a single detail. But no matter how I recalled it, all I could remember was finding myself having strayed into a secret realm and being forced to slay demons and monsters.
As for actively rescuing people?
He had never imagined such a thing would happen; he was lucky to have escaped unscathed.
As for giving the little girl a set of Fire Spirit Thorns before parting, it was partly out of pity, and partly because the Fire Spirit Thorns were of the fire element, which was incompatible with the Frost Technique he cultivated.
"Could it be because of the Fire Spirit Thorn?"
But upon closer examination, he felt that there seemed to be some illogical aspects to it.
"The primary condition for the Fire Spirit Thorn to unleash its true power is to refine it using divine sense."
"Although that little girl possessed extraordinary spiritual power, she completely refined the six Fire Spirit Thorns in such a short time."
"The possibility of this is almost zero."
After ruling out the possibility of the Fire Spirit Thorn, Han Feng fell into deep thought once again.
He always felt as if he had forgotten something crucial.
"what is it?"
Located in Xinzheng, the capital of the Han Dynasty,
Inside the residence of Young Master An,
A dashing young man, seeing the Han Dynasty gradually decline, felt worried and resolved to change the status quo, secretly vowing to turn the tide.
Despite his young age, he possesses wisdom and vision far surpassing that of ordinary people.
"Without change, the Han Dynasty will surely perish." Young Han Fei, his eyes filled with worry, turned and walked towards his father's study. Upon seeing his father, he proactively expressed his wishes.
"Father, I wish to travel and study abroad."
"Traveling abroad for further studies?" Gongzi An, who was pondering by the window, turned to look at him and calmly asked, "Where do you wish to travel for further studies?"
"In the land of Qi and Lu, at Sanghai, lies Xiaoshengxianzhuang," Han Fei bowed respectfully and replied solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Gongzi An pondered for a moment and then asked, "Could it be that half-sage who outwardly practices Confucianism but inwardly practices Legalism—Xunzi?"
"Indeed, I wish to go to Xiaoshengxianzhuang and become a disciple of Xunzi," Han Fei said earnestly, looking up at his father.
205. Han Fei?
"For the future of the Han Dynasty, I hope Father will grant my request."
Gongzi An did not reply immediately.
Instead, he turned around again, gazing at the scenery outside the window, silently weighing his options.
After a while.
Gongzi An's voice echoed once again in the study.
"I agree to this."
"The land of Qi and Lu is far from the land of Han. It will be very inconvenient for you to travel alone. At that time, your father will send someone to escort you to Xiaoshengxianzhuang."
When do you plan to set off?
Overjoyed to have received his father's consent, Han Fei immediately replied, "We can depart tomorrow."
"Go back."
"As ordered!"
Leaving the study,
Han Fei hadn't gone far when he saw his youngest sister, Ji Shizi, running towards him with a smile.
"Brother, brother, come and play with me."
