Chapter 145 Ten Days
After a wave of attempts, Yao Yan figured out the level of the Fallen Heart Flame, which was at the level of a seven or eight-star Dou Huang. Of course, this level did not include the heart fire that differentiated from it. As a wonder nurtured by heaven and earth, the strange fire did not need to be cultivated like humans. They only needed to accumulate energy to continuously improve their combat effectiveness.

However, at present, the Tianfen Refining Energy Tower restricted its growth, causing the energy it accumulated to become nourishment for the students of Canaan Academy to practice, and thus slowed down its growth rate countless times.

This might be the reason why the Fallen Heart Flame was so violent. No intelligent creature would like to be imprisoned in a small cage and have its energy constantly drained away every day. That feeling was even more painful than that of livestock in captivity.

Compared with the Fallen Heart Flame, the Three Thousand Flames sealed in the starry sky is undoubtedly much happier, but it is also related to the nature of the two strange fires.

The Three Thousand Flames do not have the ability to assist in cultivation like the Fallen Heart Flame. Before it is refined, it is of almost no value to anyone.

"Sigh~"

After suffering a severe blow, the invisible fire python that was more than ten meters long not only did not calm down, but became more and more violent, like a madman, and pounced towards the direction where Yao Yan's soul power was located again, as if it wanted to burn everything in front of it. Its violent posture burned and distorted the space along the way.

Until it hit a space seal, it was bounced back heavily. In response, it became more and more angry and violent. Invisible flames continued to emerge from its body, indiscriminately burning everything around it.

However, these obviously have nothing to do with Yao Yan. He has already taken back his soul power. The space seal below is not perfect. With the burning of the Fallen Heart Flame over the years, loopholes have appeared in many places. However, Su Qian and others did not notice these, perhaps because they did not think that the Fallen Heart Flame could break the seal of the Mang Tian Ruler.

"Did you notice that?"

At this moment, a figure appeared behind Yao Yan, and an old voice asked with some surprise.

When Xiong Zhuang saw the person coming, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Elder Liu!"

Elder Liu waved his hand, indicating that Xiong Zhuang could leave, and he took his place. His eyes were solemn as he looked down at the bottomless black hole below. The darkness that could even swallow up the light made people feel a little creepy.

He waited until Xiong Zhuang walked a little further away before continuing in a low voice: "The Great Elder mentioned you to me yesterday and asked me to take care of you after you enter the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower... Since you also have the strange fire, you must have sensed its existence."

As he spoke, he looked at Yao Yan with a determined gaze.

"I had some guesses when I just came in, and now they have been verified. The seal below should be the Fallen Heart Flame."

Yao Yan did not deny it, but responded directly and honestly. With the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in his body, how could he not feel the existence of the Fallen Heart Flame? It would be ridiculous to deny it.

"Well, the dean sealed it here back then, and then Canaan College was established. Now hundreds of years have passed, and it seems to be getting more and more violent..." Elder Liu stroked his white beard, lowered his eyes, and muttered to himself.

Did the people at Canaan College really not know that the seal had been burned to pieces?
Obviously he knows.

But what can they do? The seal here was left by Mang Tian Chi, who was a semi-saint back then. The spatial force within it is extremely solidified and cannot be repaired by outsiders. Even Dou Zong masters are helpless and can only watch as the seal becomes thinner and thinner due to the burning of the Fallen Heart Flame. The only thing they can do is to strengthen the seal from the outside and wait until the day when the Fallen Heart Flame really breaks through the seal, and then seal it back.

"The strange fire is an extremely violent thing, full of destructive power. It is not a wise choice for Canaan Academy to seal it here. Sooner or later, it will burst out."

Yao Yan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

Elder Liu turned to look at Yao Yan and chuckled, "If that day ever comes, Canaan Academy will handle it properly. Right now, the inner courtyard cannot do without it... I am one of the elders in charge of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. The Great Elder has already told me about your situation. If you want to come here to practice, you can enter the lowest level without competing with the students for a place."

He really cares about the students... Yao Yan understood the implicit meaning of these words. Elder Su Qian obviously did not want him to have too much contact with the disciples in the inner courtyard.

"Thank you very much, elder."

Yao Yan did not refuse, and immediately followed the other party to the training room on the lowest level. He planned to practice in seclusion for a few days to adapt to the burning feeling of the Fallen Heart Flame in advance and prepare for refining it in the future. After experiencing all these, he could start to do the real work.

He did not come to Canaan College to be a teacher. One of his goals was to win over Su Qian to deal with the Demon Flame Valley.

Secondly, it is the Earth Core Tempering Milk!

……

The level of heart fire contained in the lower-level training room is undoubtedly many times stronger than that of the upper level. This is a benefit specially provided to Dou Wang and Dou Huang mentors. At the same time, this place is closer to the Fallen Heart Flame, and there is only a layer of seal between the two.

"There are only a few things you need to pay attention to. Just practice with peace of mind. If you want to go out, just turn the wrench on the side." Elder Liu said softly.

"kindness!"

Yao Yan nodded and walked into the secret room. As the wrench was pulled, the door of the secret room closed.

Elder Liu looked at the door of the secret room, stroked his beard with his palm, and muttered to himself: "A five-star Dou Wang who is less than 18 years old, a fifth-grade alchemist, and possesses a strange fire... What a real monster, is this the disciple carefully cultivated by those major forces in Zhongzhou? It's really terrifying, this is the first time I have seen such a monster in all these years!"

He sighed deeply, then shook his head, unwilling to think about it any more, let alone compare the disciples of Canaan College with the other party, because there was no comparison.

In the secret room.

Yao Yan sat cross-legged, his ink-black eyes were unusually calm, and he thought secretly in his heart that he had already felt the rejection of Canaan Academy. It was obvious that he, the "teacher" who joined in halfway, was not really accepted by them, and there was still a certain distance between the two.

But it was better this way. Compared to hiding his skills to sneak in and being discovered later... this way of getting along made him feel quite relaxed.

After all, humans are emotional animals, and he can't be as cold-blooded and ruthless as Hunxuzi.

"Let's practice first."

Yao Yan glanced at the ground in front of him, and lightly sent out a stream of Dou Qi with his fingers, pushing away a small protrusion. Suddenly, an invisible flame burst out from it, which was more vigorous and richer than the upper heart fire. Almost in an instant, a large amount of invisible flames emerged from his body and began to burn his Dou Qi.

In response to this, he did not resist, and even completely let go, allowing the fire in his heart to burn in his body. At the same time, he released the suppression of the demon poison spots. Suddenly, a large amount of black energy surged out from his limbs and bones. The amount was so large that even his body surface began to emit a pungent fishy smell. If a student smelled it at this moment, he would probably die instantly.

Even a strong man at the Dou Wang level would not dare to get involved in it.

However, the extremely deadly poison to outsiders is not very lethal to Yao Yan. His physique is too strong and his blood is even more domineering. Although the poison is tricky, it is undoubtedly difficult to kill him. After all, no matter how poisonous it is, it cannot invade Yao Yan's jade bones. The jade bones containing the essence of Dou Sheng are not shaken by the magic poison spots. Yao Yan only discovered this recently. He could feel that his bones were harder than other parts before. In this regard, Yao Yan just thought it was the effect of Dou Di's blood essence and didn't think about other things at all. It was not until the magic poison spot invaded that part that he discovered that his bones were different from those of ordinary people. It would emit a rich jade color. Especially when it encountered a threat, the jade color was extremely rich and almost soaked the bones.

Jade bones... that's the standard equipment for a Dou Sheng.

Obviously this was related to Hunxuzi's experiment back then, but Hunxuzi did not explain it to him thoroughly. His teacher had always been like this, even when he was teaching him alchemy. He could only force himself, and how far he could learn and what he could realize depended entirely on himself.

When it comes to being a teacher, Hunxuzi obviously has no talent and is far behind Yao Lao.

But it is also normal. How could a person like Hunxuzi have the patience to train disciples? He himself is a person who betrays his teacher and ancestors. How could he care about inheritance? Especially since the Dou Sheng strongmen have a lifespan of thousands of years. For ordinary people, this lifespan is no different from immortality.

"Chichi~"

As Yao Yan completely let go, the resistance of the evil poison spot became more and more fierce. However, under the burning of the two strange fires inside and outside, its resistance was completely ineffective. It could only be continuously refined into streams of pure energy, which were poured into Yao Yan's limbs and bones, strengthening the fighting spirit in his body.

The bottleneck that had just been broken through began to shake again and moved towards the six-star Dou Wang.

“…Just bear with it for a while.”

Yao Yan felt the fighting spirit in his body growing stronger and stronger. He opened his eyes slightly, and green flames flowed in them, which was indescribably strange. He muttered secretly in his heart that he actually wanted to try the taste of the blood essence of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

However, these drops of blood essence have not been tempered, and the energy contained in them is extremely violent. According to the masked man, even a strong man at the peak of the Douhuang level would be blown up. It can be seen how terrifying the energy contained in them is. If they are swallowed now, most of the energy will be wasted. It is better to refine the magic poison spot first.

It has to be said that Yao Yan now has more and more good things on him. He even feels that before he reaches the Dou Zong level, he doesn't need to practice by himself and can just rely on the strange fire to refine these foreign things.

This is the most correct way to use the strange fire. You don’t need to worry about the sequelae of taking foreign objects, and you can start an unlimited drug-taking mode.

"Once you break through to the six-star Dou Wang level, you can take the Douling Pill and you should be able to reach eight stars... Then, you can go talk to Han Feng~"

Yao Yan licked his lips, his eyes flashing with green fire, making his handsome face even more enchanting and evil, and there was a hint of anticipation and greed in his expression. No matter how he suppressed it, the desire for the strange fire after practicing the Burning Technique had almost become an instinct, just like a person's need to eat and drink water.

He is a little hungry too!

Some even felt that their cultivation speed was too slow.

……

……

About ten days later, Yao Yan walked out of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower with some reluctance, because it would be closed for a few days every month for maintenance and inspection. This was also responsible to the academy, because the seal of the Fallen Heart Flame was no longer complete and unnecessary accidents could easily occur.

"It seems that the secret room on the bottom floor also has some effect on you." Elder Liu chuckled as he looked at Yao Yan, whose aura was much stronger.

Yao Yan smiled and nodded without refutation. He couldn't say that he was refining the magic poison spots the whole time and didn't practice on his own. He had a big gift package in his body but didn't develop it, but instead practiced hard. That would be really stupid. Moreover, the blessing of the heart fire to the Dou Wang was not too high. If he practiced on his own, the progress in these ten days would probably only be one-tenth of the current progress.

"Come back in three days, it will be opened again then."

Elder Liu said this, then turned and entered the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, slowly closing the door at the same time.

The elders in charge of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower will not leave, and they will stay here all year round. On the one hand, it is to practice in seclusion, and on the other hand, it is to watch the Fallen Heart Flame and prevent it from rioting.

"Three days? That should be enough~"

Yao Yan muttered to himself. He planned to take advantage of these few days to get the Earth Core Tempering Milk, which was one of the core materials for refining the seventh-grade Ice Heart Pill. If he remembered correctly, the place should be in the back mountain of Canaan College. The one guarding it was a Snow Demon Sky Ape, whose strength was about the fourth or fifth level and was easy to deal with.

Just then, someone approached from behind him.

The man was very tall, like a chimpanzee, but he had a silly smile on his face and said, "Teacher, you finally came out."

"Are you waiting for me?"

Looking at the person coming, Yao Yan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiong Zhuang would wait for him outside.

"Aren't you worried about what the teacher needs? The teacher should have just been here for a short time and is not familiar with everything in the inner courtyard. If you need anything, just come to me, Old Bear. To be honest with you, I know this inner courtyard very well!"

Xiong Zhuang patted his chest and assured.

"...That's just right. Can you help me check if there is any Snow Demon Ape nearby? I want to refine a pill and need its magic core." Yao Yan pondered for a moment and spoke.

"The teacher is also an alchemist?!"

When Xiong Zhuang heard this, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his silly eyes and he asked in surprise.

"kindness."

Yao Yan was brief and to the point, without explaining anything. He hated trouble, and he explained to Hu Qian and Su Qian only to increase his own weight. If Xiong Zhuang knew about it, there would probably be a lot of trouble. After all, there were quite a few students in this academy, and the attraction of a fifth-grade alchemist was still quite terrifying.

Xiong Zhuang resisted the urge to ask questions and planned to show off first and then ask for benefits. This was also the reason why he came to the door.

After all, he is a Douwang-level teacher. If some good stuff slips out from between his fingers, it will be enough for me to use.
