Chapter 143: Good Cultivation Atmosphere
With Yao Yan's strength, he naturally doesn't need to stay in the outer courtyard as a teacher. According to strength, Canaan Academy divides teachers into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound and Yellow. Great Dou Shi and Dou Ling are Yellow-level instructors, Dou Wang is Profound-level, Dou Huang is Earth-level, and the Heaven-level corresponds to Dou Zong powerhouses. However, most of the time, the Heaven-level is just a decoration, because most students will choose to leave Canaan Academy and travel after their strength reaches the Dou Wang level.
On the one hand, when one's strength reaches this level, one has already officially entered the ranks of the strong.
On the other hand, the power of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower on Dou Wang masters has been greatly weakened. Even the training room at the lowest level cannot provide obvious power to a Dou Wang master. If one wants to continue to advance quickly, staying at Canaan Academy is by no means a wise choice.
Young people, especially those with extraordinary talents, all yearn for a broader world. However, only very few of them will choose to stay at Canaan College to teach.
This is also the reason why there are not many strong people in Canaan College.
But even if only a few people stayed, the strength accumulated over hundreds of years would be enough for the entire Black Horn Region to look up to them.
now.
Yao Yan was flying towards the inner courtyard with Hu Qian. The rule prohibiting flying within a radius of hundreds of miles obviously could not restrict Hu Qian, the dean of the outer courtyard. With the speed of the two, they reached the deepest part of the mountains after about a quarter of an hour.
A barren mountain range comes into view. Looking from a high altitude, it looks like a huge crater created by a meteorite. The protruding rock walls around it still bear the marks of burns that have never faded for thousands of years.
At the deepest part of this place, there is a strange black tower. The main body of the tower is buried deep underground, with only a part of the tower top and a pitch-black entrance exposed on the ground.
At the intersection, a huge crowd of people was gathering. They walked in one after another, and a corresponding number of people walked out of it. It seemed that there was something unique among them that made them unwilling to waste even a moment of time.
Fallen Heart Flame... Yao Yan looked at the black tower in front of him, and four words popped up in his mind. At the same time, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire in his body also jumped slightly, as if sensing a familiar breath.
There is a unique connection between different fires, and they even have the instinct to devour each other.
However, the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower in front of them had completely sealed the Fallen Heart Flame, and the aura they felt was also because its door was open. From the slightly distorted space around it, it was enough to see how strong the seal here was. Yao Yan knew even more clearly that the person who left all this behind was Mang Tianchi, the dean of Canaan College.
The Thunder Clan elder who likes to travel around!
"That is the most core place of the inner courtyard. If you can really become a teacher in the inner courtyard, you will have the opportunity to go and take a look in the future... Even if you are a Dou Wang, you can gain a lot from it." Hu Qian noticed Yao Yan's gaze and said with a smile.
"Really? That's quite exciting."
Yao Yan heard this and spoke with interest, but his heart was quite calm. The biggest function of the Fallen Heart Flame was to activate the automatic cultivation bug. As for this derivative, the heart fire reflected by the Fallen Heart Flame would probably not be of much use to him.
The two chatted for a while and then flew directly towards the courtyard not far away.
The inner courtyard of Canaan College is not very big, and it can accommodate only about a thousand students. This number has always been determined by the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. After all, it is the foundation of Canaan College, and everything is built around it. Most of the talented students are willing to stay here because of its existence.
For low-level practitioners, this almost cheating Heart Fire was something that no one could resist. The speed of cultivation it could increase was never a little bit, but extremely obvious, and could even be felt directly.
If this place was not located in the Black Horn Region and had not been watched by Mang Tianchi, the Half-Saint of the Thunder Clan, this place might have been dug up by some forces in Zhongzhou long ago.
at this time.
Suddenly, a powerful aura was heard from afar. At the same time, the other party flashed to the void not far in front of Yao Yan at an extremely fast speed, carrying bursts of breaking air sounds. His feet stepped flat on the void, his white hair fluttered in the wind, and an invisible wave spread out, causing ripples in the surrounding space.
The powerful pressure from the Dou Zong level made people feel a little depressed.
For ordinary people, a Dou Zong strongman is definitely an existence at a higher level of life. Even if he does not have Dou Qi, his vigorous vitality can give people a strong sense of oppression.
"He is the Inner Court Great Elder Su Qian. You can talk to him if you have something to say... Old man, be polite. This is a five-star Dou Wang who is under the age of eighteen, and he is also a fifth-grade alchemist. He came to Canaan College to apply for a teacher position. It is up to you to decide whether to agree or not. I will return to the Outer Court first."
Hu Qian looked at the other party unhappily, and then just became a hands-off boss. It was obvious that whether to keep Yao Yan was entirely up to Su Qian. If the other party disagreed, it would be useless for him to stay. And with Su Qian's strength, he was able to suppress all dissatisfaction.
It is obvious that a five-star Dou Wang kid cannot turn the tables.
"Explain things clearly!" Su Qian's mouth twitched and he said hurriedly, but what came into his sight was Hu Qian's departing figure. In a few flashes, the other party had disappeared from his sight.
"My name is Yao Yan, nice to meet the Great Elder!"
Yao Yan glanced at the other person a few times and bowed politely.
Su Qian looked at the young man in front of him, no, to be more precise, he could be called a teenager, and he felt confused. An eighteen-year-old Dou Wang was already too much, and he was actually a fifth-grade alchemist. The combination of the two was enough to make people doubt their lives. He pondered for a moment before asking, "At such a young age, he has such Dou Qi cultivation and alchemy attainments. I wonder where your master came from? Or which family is he from?!"
"……Hard to say."
Yao Yan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
"If you don't explain clearly, I have no reason to keep you!" Su Qian said in a deep voice, with a slightly serious expression. He couldn't possibly keep a little monster of unknown origin.
"I wonder if the Great Elder has ever heard of the Medicine Clan. I was born into this clan, but later on I got into some trouble and now I have been expelled from the clan. I am homeless for the time being. I heard about Canaan College when I was a child and passed by here, so I wanted to stay here for a while."
Yao Yan thought about it and revealed some information to him.
Medicine clan?!
Could it be those families that the dean mentioned before? !
Su Qian's heart moved slightly. Although he did not understand the value of the Medicine Clan, he had followed Mang Qianchi, the half-saint of the Thunder Clan, before. Naturally, he learned some things from him, such as those major families that were above the countless forces in the Douqi Continent. To those who were not strong enough, they were like non-existent, but the stronger the person, the more they could feel the size and terror of those families.
The mere word "emperor" is enough to suffocate countless people.
Su Qian hesitated for a moment and asked, "If I keep you here, will it cause trouble for Canaan College?"
"If that day ever comes, the dean can just hand me over. Although my family is overbearing, they won't implicate others for no reason. Besides, Canaan Academy is extremely famous throughout the Douqi Continent, so they won't go too far. Therefore, the Great Elder doesn't need to worry about those things."
Yao Yan smiled slightly and spoke softly.
"What kind of trouble did you cause to be expelled from the clan?" Su Qian was puzzled. The talent of this kid was nothing short of a monster. How could those clans be willing to throw him out? "To avenge my parents, I killed the enemy's family. That family happened to be from the same clan..."
Yao Yan said lightly.
Su Qian was stunned, and after a moment's silence, he said in a serious tone, "You can stay in Canaan College temporarily, but if any trouble comes because of you, I hope you can leave on your own. This is an agreement between you and me. If you agree, you can stay in Canaan College."
"No problem." Yao Yan nodded and said with a smile.
"kindness."
Su Qian looked at Yao Yan deeply, without saying much, and flew directly to his own courtyard with Yao Yan. He planned to keep Yao Yan with him for a few months. If the other party said anything untrue, he would tell the other party the price of deceiving a Dou Zong powerhouse.
……
It was obviously easy to sneak into Canaan College. With Yao Yan's talent, Canaan College had no reason to refuse him. However, he came in halfway after all. Su Qian did not completely trust him and still maintained some vigilance. He did not let him directly serve as a tutor. However, the other party did not restrict his freedom either. He could visit the entire inner courtyard at will.
It was as if Yaoyan was really just staying at Canaan College temporarily.
But to be honest, the training environment in the inner courtyard is very similar to the senior year of high school in the previous life. Everyone is busy practicing and has no time to care about other things. Every day, they either go to the Tianfen Refining Tower to practice, or go out to hunt monsters, pick medicinal herbs, trade with others in exchange for fire energy points, and continue to practice hard.
This kind of atmosphere is really good, and it reminds Yao Yan of the days when he was studying in the Yao clan.
The next day.
Yao Yan then came to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. This tower was not opened every day, but only on fixed days of each month. The rest of the time, it would be closed. This was to prevent students from over-utilizing their heart fire for cultivation, which would lead to excessive accumulation of fire poison in the body, and also for maintenance purposes.
Because as time goes by, the Fallen Heart Flame sealed in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower has become more and more violent. It is no longer willing to be sealed here and become a tool for others to use.
Especially when the intelligence of the strange fire spirit becomes higher and higher, the yearning for freedom becomes stronger and stronger.
As for why it doesn’t run down…does it dare?
Yao Yan's arrival naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. The students in the inner courtyard were still very interested in the "strangers". After all, newcomers were to be exploited. If the other party was not strong enough, they didn't mind talking to the other party about protection fees.
The inner court does not prohibit this and even encourages it.
Because there has never been order and rules in the Douqi Continent, similarly, if you want to survive in the Inner Court, you naturally have to adapt to its unspoken rules, unless you have the strength to break it.
Perhaps because Yao Yan's temperament was somewhat conspicuous, several people looked over with ill intentions.
Yao Yan didn't care about this. He kept looking at the black tower until he heard a voice in his ear: "Masked boy, are you new here? Do you want me to teach you how to use fire energy in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower... As a reward, just give me five points of fire energy."
As he was speaking, a tall man walked up to Yao Yan's side. He was two heads taller than Yao Yan, with a sturdy build and a strong aura. He was a genuine master fighter.
"Xiong Zhuang has made a move. Tsk, what an unlucky boy. If he is given this time, he will probably have to pay tribute to him in the next one or two years."
"Who made him so strong and physically strong? He was born with supernatural powers. He is only an eight-star great fighting master, but he can rely on his brute force to fight against fighting spirits and remain undefeated. In the inner courtyard, there are not many who dare to compete with him head-on in strength."
The students around couldn't help but stop and watch the show. It was obvious that they were familiar with this scene.
"kindness?"
Yao Yan retracted his gaze and looked at the big man who was looking for trouble. He raised his eyebrows slightly. He suddenly remembered that there has always been a tradition of old students bullying new students in the inner courtyard of Canaan College. This situation was not improved until Xiao Yan's generation. After realizing this, he grinned and said with a smile: "You want fire energy?"
"I don't want it, this is a reward!"
Xiong Zhuang said with a smile. He stretched out his hand and pinched Yao Yan's 'slender' arm, exerting a little force, signaling the other party to be sensible and pay the protection fee obediently. However, he always knew what to do. Usually, he would just ask for a few points. As for robbing everyone clean, such a thing would not happen, and the elders in the inner courtyard would not agree to it.
He can be a "bad guy", but he cannot cut off others' path of cultivation.
This is the bottom line for Canaan Academy.
"Then I'll trouble this student." Yao Yan said with a smile, raised his arm slightly, and started moving directly with Xiong Zhuang's arm.
At this moment, Xiong Zhuang's expression froze instantly. He stared at Yao Yan in disbelief, feeling the terrifying power coming from the other's arm. He could hardly resist that power. Even though he had used all his strength in his arms, compared with the other party, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. This was a feeling he had never experienced in his life.
"Crack~"
Yao Yan raised his hand and patted Xiong Zhuang's hand away, saying in a friendly manner: "But the teacher doesn't like others touching her body, especially without my consent. But since this is your first offense, I can forgive you and it won't happen again."
"Teacher?!"
Xiong Zhuang's expression instantly withered, and he said bitterly that he didn't expect that he would find a teacher in the inner courtyard when he was looking for trouble. Judging from the move he just made, the opponent's strength was obviously much stronger than his.
"..."
The students watching the show around also showed confused expressions one after another. It was really embarrassing to see the students teasing the teacher.
Yao Yan said softly, "I just started working yesterday and haven't found a position that suits me yet. But after seeing your performance today, I think Canaan College can offer a moral education class to teach you how to respect your teachers and care for your juniors."
