Chapter 152 It’s time to go back to being the ‘young master’
Hearing Yao Yan's accurate answer, a gleam of brilliance instantly flashed in Yao Lao's eyes. He was very clear about the value of the Fallen Heart Flame. It can be said without exaggeration that for practitioners below the Dou Zong level, the Fallen Heart Flame is a magical object that can directly increase the speed of practice, and it can be used for practice all the time. There is no need for you to control it. It can autonomously absorb the energy of heaven and earth and convert it into pure Dou Qi.

It is equivalent to directly raising the cultivation talent of the person who is refining it several times.

Although it is a bit useless in the later stages, in the early stages, the value of the Fallen Heart Flame is enough to make anyone excited, or even crazy. You must know that everyone's cultivation speed is linked to their talent, and there are very few things in the world that can improve the talent of practitioners, and something as direct as the Fallen Heart Flame is even rarer.

“I didn’t expect the rumors to be true…” Yao Lao stroked his white beard and said in a low voice.

After all, the rumor that Canaan College had the Fallen Heart Flame was just a rumor and had not been confirmed by anyone. Unfortunately, when he learned the news, he already possessed the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and his own strength had already broken through to the level of Dou Zun. Naturally, he did not have much interest in the Fallen Heart Flame.

In addition to some unspoken rules in the Black Horn Region, strong men at the Dou Zun level cannot participate in the fights in the Black Horn Region at will.

This may also be the reason why Canaan Academy has kept the Fallen Heart Flame hidden until now.

If Yao Yan knew what Yao Lao was thinking, he would probably explain to him that the fact that Canaan Academy has been able to maintain the Fallen Heart Flame to this day has never been based on luck. Whether it is the two immortal old men in the inner courtyard or the dean who has no news at all, they are not people who are easy to mess with.

The strong people who are qualified to know these things will definitely not cause trouble for Canaan Academy just for a Fallen Heart Flame.

As for those who are not qualified to know the inside story, how can they get past the thousand and two elders?

In the original novel, Han Feng and others were able to break into the inner courtyard only because the two elders were in seclusion, trying to take the step of Dou Zun. Otherwise, a few "little guys" at the peak of Dou Huang could not make any noise and would probably be wiped out with just a glance.

The strong man who was at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zong realm was very skilled in using the power of space, and could kill the weak instantly.

Those who don't understand the power of space don't even have the qualifications to fight them.

Cai Lin's cold eyes moved slightly as she looked at Yao Yan, who had an indifferent expression. She opened her gorgeous red lips slightly, and her soft and charming voice revealed a hint of curiosity: "Since the existence of the Fallen Heart Flame has been confirmed, when do you plan to take action?"

As she spoke, her eyes showed a hint of eagerness.

As the Queen of Medusa, she has never been a quiet girl. In her heart, she is still the cold, ruthless and arrogant queen. However, this arrogance will always be unconsciously restrained when facing Yao Yan. Perhaps even she herself does not want to admit that she is somewhat convinced by Yao Yan.

Yao Yan shook his head upon hearing this, his expression slightly more serious, and he slowly said, "I don't intend to rob it by force. There are many strong people in Canaan College. With our strength, it is impossible to snatch the Fallen Heart Flame from Canaan College."

"A lot?" Cai Lin frowned slightly and asked.

"There is only one Dou Zong in the open, the Inner Court Great Elder Su Qian, whose strength should be around the two-star Dou Zong level. However, I can sense that there are several powerful people hidden in the Inner Court whose strength is just higher than Su Qian's. Just from the way they use the power of space, I suspect their strength is not lower than the seven-star Dou Zong level."

Yao Yan showed a serious look on his face and threatened Cai Lin. He was really worried that Cai Lin would rush in without caring about anything. The other party liked to solve problems with force and even liked to communicate with the other party's life. He understood the true meaning of the strong in the Douqi Continent.

If you can take action, don't talk too much.

This is exactly the opposite of Yao Yan. He prefers to talk and will only fight when he has no other choice. Perhaps it is because of the influence of his memories from his previous life.

"...That's something I really need to think about carefully." Yao Lao was silent for a moment after hearing this, then he spoke slowly.

There was a pause.

He looked at Yao Yan with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, and said, "Why don't you give up the Fallen Heart Flame and go find my traitor first? He also controls a strange fire in his hand. As long as you can get the Sea Heart Flame and then devour my Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the Fallen Heart Flame won't be that important."

Due to the special nature of the Burning Decree, once the three kinds of strange fire are fused, its power is definitely not weaker than those of the top-ranked strange fire. In comparison, the Fallen Heart Flame is naturally not as powerful as it used to be. The so-called accelerated training does not seem to be that important to the little monster in front of him.

"The strange fire is related to the evolution of the Burning Technique. I will not give up."

Yao Yan shook his head and did not agree with what Yao Lao said. No matter what, he had to get the strange fire from Canaan College, because if he did not refine it now, it would definitely break the seal in the future and cause big trouble. If someone discovered the secret deep in the magma at that time, it would be a lot of fun.

Although the possibility is small, Yao Yan cannot take the risk. Before he leaves the Black Horn Region, all hidden dangers in Canaan Academy must be dealt with.

For this reason, he didn't mind cleansing the Black Horn Region as well, allowing it to remain relatively stable for decades.

"The risk is too high, there is no need for it!" Yao Lao said in a deep voice. He stared at Yao Yan with some confusion. With the other party's talent, why would he keep taking risks like this? Is he so eager for strength?

"It won't be too high. The Fallen Heart Flame already has the power of strange fire, and its intelligence is not low. It is full of hatred and desire to destroy Canaan Academy. The space force that seals it has been burned away by it, leaving only the last layer. It only needs a little help to break the seal and come out. Then it will be my chance."

Yao Yan gave Yao Lao a general account of the situation of the Fallen Heart Flame, and also told him about the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

"The person who founded Canaan College was a genius. He could even come up with such a method. However, he handled things too badly. He probably didn't take the feelings of the Fallen Heart Flame into consideration, leaving a root of trouble... This Fallen Heart Flame will sooner or later become the cause of the explosion of the entire Canaan College."

Yao Lao's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he spoke helplessly.

Yao Yan smiled and said softly: "After the alien fire was born with the power of the alien fire, it possessed a strong spiritual intelligence. But for many powerful people, it is just a strange fire after all, a tool to assist others in cultivation. Who would care about the thoughts of a strange fire?"

Yao Lao was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Yao Yan to say such words. This was undoubtedly very different from his former disciple Han Feng. If Han Feng had had this mentality back then, perhaps there wouldn't be anything like what happened later. He pondered for a moment and said, "What are you going to do?"

"I plan to let Han Feng be the villain. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have practiced the Burning Technique, otherwise he wouldn't still be at the Douhuang level at this age."

Yao Yan looked at Yao Lao with a teasing tone in his voice.

With Yao Lao's means and status, Han Feng's talent must have been cultivated to perfection. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have been able to break through to Dou Zong before the age of 30. But today, Han Feng is almost 50 years old, but still remains at Dou Huang level. This is obviously problematic. Even if Han Feng wasted his talent later, it would be impossible for him to practice so slowly. He has no shortage of training resources and earth-level skills.

“…He peeked at it back then.”

Yao Lao was silenced by Yao Yan's words. After a long time, he closed his eyes and sighed softly.

Burning Decision, the cause of everything.

When he got this technique, he should have destroyed it. Who would have thought that this technique could actually be practiced successfully? He didn't let Han Feng practice it just to protect him. Anyone with a little knowledge would never let their juniors practice this kind of technique. It is completely a life-threatening technique.

Strange fire is a strange thing born from heaven and earth, full of the power of destruction and regeneration. It is a blessing for ordinary people to refine one, but it wants to feed on it. Is this a technique that you want people to practice? !
"Then your disciple is obviously very brave~" Yao Yan smiled indifferently.

To be honest, Han Feng's character and talent are indeed not weak. He dared to practice with only an incomplete martial arts book, and even used it to devour the Sea Heart Flame. If it were Yao Yan, he would never dare to do this.

"He dared to do this, not only because of his courage, but also because of his physical condition. After being nursed by this old man, his talent had already reached a perfect state. He only needed to follow the steps and he should be able to break through to Dou Zong at around the age of 25. Unfortunately, he later listened to others and went astray, trying to refine other people's essence into his own body... As a result, his almost perfect talent no longer exists, and even his own Dou Qi has been affected..."

Yao Lao lowered his eyes slightly and slowly recounted the past events. There was some regret and annoyance in his eyes, as well as a little unwillingness.

Han Feng's achievement was supposed to be his greatest achievement in his life, but now it seemed like a joke, mocking him invisibly.

Cai Lin on the side remained silent. Listening to the conversation between the two, she felt that the world she had come into contact with was so small. Stepping into the Dou Zong stage at the age of about 25, how ridiculous was that? Thinking about the group of centenarian old men in the Jia Ma Empire, the gap between them was inevitably despairing.

Then she glanced at Yao Yan again, perhaps this guy in front of her could refresh her cognition again.

Talent, this is going to follow the path of the ruthless emperor... Yao Yan complained in his heart. It must be said that Han Feng has talent and ability, but it is only a little bit, and it is very limited. If he wants to follow this path in the Douqi Continent, he is just asking for trouble.

The taboos of alchemy, refining the essence of others and everything, how could Yao Yan not know this? His teacher is Hunxuzi, a big shot in the alchemy world. It is no exaggeration to say that in the current alchemy world, Hunxuzi's alchemy skills can at least rank in the top three, or even second or first. And these things that Han Feng played, obviously, were all things that Hunxuzi was tired of.

Yao Yan's achievements were due to these. Even his strongest point was still hidden until now. He dared not even think of exposing it. Even the occasional desire that arose was suppressed by him. Because he had no strength, once people discovered that he had the blood of the Soul-Devouring Clan, even the Soul Clan might not be able to protect him.

After all, the Soul Clan’s biggest goal now is to collect the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade. Before that, everything can be tolerated, and they will never go to war with other clans just for a word of medicine.

Yao Yan even felt that the Soul Clan would turn around and kill him first to silence him.

Hunxuzi is definitely capable of doing this.

As for the so-called master-disciple relationship... Yao Yan suspected that Hunxuzi didn't have this idea at all. If he did, he wouldn't have joined forces with the people of the Soul Clan to kill his teacher and even spared his soul. He inexplicably felt that Hunxuzi and Han Feng were a perfect match.

"If you want to purify your body, there is no better choice in the world than the strange fire, and the Burning Technique is obviously very suitable for what he has learned."

Yao Lao was like a desperate man at this moment, he dumped everything out. Perhaps because he had gotten all his worries out in one breath, he looked a lot more relaxed at this moment.

"Then he definitely won't miss the Fallen Heart Flame." Yao Yan chuckled. He planned to set a trap for Han Feng, but before that, he had to confirm one thing. "I heard at Canaan College that a city in the Black Horn Region was completely annihilated. What do you think?"

No matter how you look at it, it's definitely right to blame the Soul Palace for any blame.

Yao Lao didn't think about it at all, and said directly: "It was done by the Soul Palace. They are the only ones in the entire Black Horn Region who have the ability to turn a city into an empty city overnight... For those guys, even if they are low-level practitioners, it is also a good cultivation resource. Souls, flesh and blood, they can all use it for cultivation."

"?!"

Cai Lin's pupils shrank in surprise. It was the first time she had heard of such a cruel method. Killing someone was just a matter of crushing them to death, but there were actually people who wanted to eat people. Was this Warcraft?

"This is very similar to your evil disciple."

Yao Yan said softly.

Yao Lao sneered, his tone carrying a hint of murderous intent, and said in a cold voice: "Han Feng did those things back then because he listened to someone's instigation, and that person was also from the Soul Palace, so it is natural that their methods are similar."

Compared to his hatred for Han Feng, his hatred for old man Mu Gu was deeper, because he was also responsible for Han Feng's mistakes. It was he who did not teach him well and neglected some things. But for the things that old man Mu Gu did, he wished he could destroy his ancestral graves.

Yao Yan waited for Yao Lao to finish speaking before he said calmly, "I plan to contact Han Feng and leak the news of the Fallen Heart Flame appropriately, and then have him join forces with the Devil Flame Valley to snatch the Fallen Heart Flame."

"..."

Yao Lao and Cai Lin were both silent. They didn't expect Yao Yan to have such an idea.

“It’s a good plan, but it’s hard to implement.”

To be honest, Yao Lao didn't think Yao Yan's plan would succeed. According to Yao Yan, the inner courtyard of Canaan College had a profound foundation. How could Han Feng and others cause any waves? To put it another way, even if they succeeded, how would Yao Yan end it?

Yao Yan just smiled and didn't say much, because he planned to reveal some of his identity as the 'Young Master'.
