Chapter 162 Learning
Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, the lowest floor.

To get here, one must pass through a winding path, and the road is heavily guarded. Almost every few minutes, a guard standing like a sculpture will appear, guarding this place tightly. It is impossible for anyone to get here without alerting anyone.

Here, only a handful of people in Canaan College can enter and exit freely, including the Inner Court Great Elder Su Qian.

At this moment, he walked in with a solemn expression, and walked towards the deepest part of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. He soon arrived at a sealed place. The scene here was almost completely different from the upper floors. The scorching temperature rose in the huge space, making the vision a little blurry and illusory.

If someone is weaker, the fire energy that fills the world will probably burn their lungs after just two breaths.

For some unknown reason, the surrounding walls exuded a rich red glow, illuminating the world. In the center, there was an extremely spacious deep hole. The entrance here was much wider than the holes in the upper floors of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. However, it was not filled with endless black, but a strange deep red, like the color of solidified blood, extremely strange.

Above it is an energy barrier filled with mysterious patterns, which blocks it tightly. However, this seal seems to have lasted too long, and there are some crooked dents on it, which allow the powerful energy ripples to continue to spread out.

But just this little bit of energy overflow caused the air around it to explode continuously.

Su Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of light attached to his pupils. With the blessing of fighting spirit, the extremely violent energy did not obscure his vision, allowing him to pass through the seal and the violent energy around him and see the real scene below.

It was a dark red magma world, but different from ordinary magma, the magma world in the center was extremely dark red, as if it was condensed from blood, with bubbles constantly emerging from it, giving off an indescribable feeling of weirdness and horror.

This is where the Fallen Heart Flame was born, and its body is hidden deep in the bloody magma.

As if it had sensed the arrival of someone, the already violent energy below instantly began to boil, rushing upwards, and finally slamming heavily onto the seal, causing the patterns on the seal to glow with colorful halos. At the same time, the temperature around it continued to soar, and the terrifying heat wave rushed towards Su Qian, as if greeting him.

But this way of greeting is obviously not friendly.

Su Qian didn't even move, staring coldly at the bloody magma below, as if he was looking into the eyes of the Fallen Heart Flame. The sweeping heat wave didn't shake him at all, and the moment it approached his body, it was blocked by an invisible force of space.

"If that's all, I'll start reinforcing the seal." Su Qian said in a cold tone.

He came here today to reinforce the seal. The seal left by the dean was no longer strong due to the erosion of the Fallen Heart Flame. If it weren't for the continuous reinforcement of the seal by the elders of all generations, the Fallen Heart Flame would have broken out long ago. But now Canaan College needs the Fallen Heart Flame, and it is impossible to let it out. This has also deepened the conflict between the two sides.

"Roar~" accompanied by a low roar, the silent blood-colored magma suddenly erupted, and then an extremely violent and powerful energy suddenly gushed out from the bottom of the magma, driving the magma to roll up a fire-colored wave as high as ten feet, and smashed towards Su Qian fiercely.

Su Qian was not unfamiliar with this and seemed to be very clear about the temper of the Fallen Heart Flame. He just calmly raised his hand and formed a seal, controlling the seal here to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Boom~"

At the moment the two collided, the terrifying energy fluctuations directly caused the magma below to churn, and at the same time a fiery red python was revealed. Its diamond-shaped snake eyes stared at Su Qian brutally, filled with the desire to destroy everything. There was no reason or calmness to communicate at all.

As soon as the real body of the Fallen Heart Flame appeared, it roared and pounced towards Su Qian. Its posture was extremely violent, like a mad beast.

"Boom!"

However, this attack was doomed to be futile. It hit the seal heavily and was immediately suppressed by a force far beyond its own power, forcing it to fall back into the magma, splashing countless magma. In response, the Fallen Heart Flame became more and more violent, controlling the surrounding magma to continuously bombard the seal, and condensing hot invisible energy from its mouth, continuously bombarding the seal.

This scene happens almost every month, forcing Su Qian to be unable to leave the inner courtyard. As the seal becomes more and more fragile, he can only continuously strengthen the seal to delay the opponent's speed of breaking the seal. At the same time, he is also preparing new seals on the periphery, but these obviously take time to prepare.

In the final analysis, it was also related to the two old guys who were in seclusion. After all, this was supposed to be their job. But after their strength reached the level of Nine-Star Dou Zong, they almost stopped paying attention to the affairs of Canaan Academy.

Su Qian and the Fallen Heart Flame were in a stalemate for two or three hours before the noisy Fallen Heart Flame calmed down and returned to the magma.

With the fall of the heart flame is stable.

There was a flash of fatigue in Su Qian's eyes. Even though he possessed the strength of a two-star Dou Zong, he could not withstand the consumption of the Fallen Heart Flame. The opponent possessed almost endless energy in his birthplace and was not stingy with the energy in his body at all. In comparison, he seemed a little unable to hold on.

"If this beast becomes stronger, it will be difficult to deal with him..." Su Qian said secretly in his heart.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew very well that once the strength of the Fallen Heart Flame grew to the Dou Zong level, the seal here would become invalid.

Thought a little.

Su Qian shook his head and raised his hand to exert the power of space to repair the damaged seal. After finishing these, he dragged his tired body outside. Even though he knew that the Fallen Heart Flame would break through the seal one day, he might as well delay it for another day, because Canaan Academy could not do without it.

Once a person becomes dependent, it is difficult to quit.

Canaan College was built on the strength of the Fallen Heart Flame. Without it and the Sky Fen Refining Qi Tower, how could Canaan College attract the chosen ones from the outside world and continue to develop? It is no exaggeration to say that the Fallen Heart Flame is the pillar of Canaan College.

After leaving the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, Su Qian returned to the courtyard where Zi Yan was in seclusion. The space seal here has not been removed, and Zi Yan is still in an advanced state. However, the energy eggshell on her body no longer absorbs external space energy and is in an extremely quiet state. The only thing that can be felt is Zi Yan's vigorous vitality. Compared with her previous "weak" appearance, she now seems to have supplemented some things, making her more perfect.

"According to that boy, she should still need one to two months..." Su Qian looked at the eggshell that Zi Yan had turned into and muttered to himself.

Thinking of that perverted boy, he couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't know what kind of trouble that boy would cause in the end.

Just now.

A streak of light flickered in the distant sky. A moment later, Hu Qian's figure appeared in Su Qian's sight. He rushed into the courtyard in a flash, looked at Su Qian with a serious face, and said, "Something big happened outside!"

"No matter how big the matter is, you can't be so anxious~" Su Qian said with a helpless look. If he hadn't unlocked the space seal just now, Hu Qian would have been in trouble.

"I don't want to joke with you. Something serious has really happened in the Black Horn Region. The Medicine King Han Feng has joined forces with the Demon Flame Valley and seems to be plotting something. The target is most likely our Canaan Academy!" Hu Qian frowned, waved his hand unhappily, and said in a deep voice. "Huh?!"

The moment he heard this, Su Qian also showed a puzzled look on his face and said, "How did Han Feng get involved with the Demon Flame Valley?"

The Demon Flame Valley is an old force in the Black Horn Region and has many grudges with Canaan Academy. In the past, Elder Qianbai even beat up the Valley Master of the Demon Flame Valley, which has led to a very bad relationship between the two sides. However, according to Elder Qianbai, that old guy should not dare to provoke Canaan Academy again, so why did he show up again?

"It's not just the Demon Flame Valley. In addition to these, there are at least three other forces that have been persuaded by Han Feng. We don't know what they are plotting specifically for now, but the only one in the entire Black Horn Region that's worthy of their treatment like this... seems to be the Canaan Academy!" Hu Qian said in a deep voice.

His inferences are not nonsense, but are highly likely.

"Logically, this shouldn't be the case..." Su Qian muttered in confusion. If Han Feng hadn't obtained the Sea Heart Flame yet, he might still be worried, but the other party had only refined the Sea Heart Flame for a few years, so even if he knew of the existence of the Fallen Heart Flame, he shouldn't have come to him.

Even though the Sea Heart Flame is not as good as the Fallen Heart Flame, it should be enough for Han Feng, a sixth-rank alchemist. Why would he set his sights on Canaan College? Isn't he afraid of getting himself into big trouble?

"This matter seems to be related to one of Han Feng's uncles, who seems to be a seventh-grade alchemist. However, whether this news is true or not cannot be verified for the time being."

Hu Qian dropped another bombshell, but he himself was not quite sure about this matter.

"Uncle Master?!"

Su Qian showed a look of surprise. Han Feng's master was a famous Medicine Master in the whole Zhongzhou, and his fellow disciples were at least high-level Dou Zong, and their own alchemy rank was definitely not weaker than the seventh rank. How could such people come to the Black Horn Region? Could it be because of the cause of Medicine Master's death? !
After all, Medicine Master died due to the backlash of alchemy, which caused quite a stir. However, Han Feng came to the Black Horn Region silently, so there must be something fishy about it.

"What do you think? Could it be that his uncle is planning to get the Fallen Heart Flame?" Hu Qian asked suddenly.

"..."

Hu Qian's words undoubtedly silenced Su Qiangan, because this possibility was extremely high. The news that Canaan Academy possessed strange fire was not a secret in the outside world, and many people knew about it.

Over the past hundreds of years, Canaan College has educated more than tens of millions of students. Many of them came from some small and medium-sized forces in Zhongzhou, and there are even first-rate forces. It would be strange if these people did not spread some things about Canaan College.

The Tianfen Refining Qi Tower was a strange thing, and it was an extremely rare artifact for cultivation even in Zhongzhou.

People with insight can naturally infer some information from it.

"Don't be silent, say something!" Hu Qian looked at Su Qian who had fallen silent and couldn't help but urge him, hoping that the other party could come up with an idea.

"Wait and see what happens. If his uncle is really involved... I will ask the two elders to come out of seclusion."

Su Qian was silent for a while and gave his own answer. After all, strength is still respected in the Douqi Continent. Only those with strength can speak with confidence. The greatest confidence of Canaan Academy is undoubtedly the two elders, Qianbai and Erlao.

"Will the elder Qianbaier come out?"

Hu Qian said with some uncertainty. Since he entered Canaan College, he rarely saw these two elders come out. On weekdays, he could only feel their breath when recruiting new students to confirm that they were still alive. Other than that, he could not see them at all, let alone expect them to deal with the enemy.

If he could call them out at any time, he would not have to stay at the peak of the Nine-Star Douhuang.

"...I'll try." Su Qian didn't have much confidence. For those two old guys, breaking through to the Dou Zun level was the most critical thing. Apart from that, nothing else mattered, including the Fallen Heart Flame in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. The two even said that the Fallen Heart Flame would break the seal sooner or later, and it was not a good thing to keep it sealed.

This is very true. The Fallen Heart Flame has been sealed, which is no less than placing a bomb in Canaan College that can explode at any time. But when these two people say this, it seems a bit helpless, after all, these are their own family.

"I'll try my best. I hope I'm just worrying too much."

Hu Qian sighed helplessly, then looked at the 'egg' that Zi Yan had transformed into, and said uncertainly: "Is this Zi Yan?"

Although the shape has changed, the aura has not changed and it is very easy to distinguish.

Su Qian nodded.

"Has she advanced? This is the first time I've seen a monster advance like this!" Hu Qian became interested and looked at Zi Yan's egg. He could even see some mysterious patterns on it, vaguely spreading on the surface of the eggshell. It seemed to contain the mystery of space, but it didn't look real and could not be understood.

"Zi Yan's original form should be an extremely powerful magical beast. Her advancement process even requires her to absorb the power of space. This kind of talent is something I have never seen before in my life." Su Qian couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

"What a little monster...just slightly worse than that kid Yao Yan." Hu Qian smacked his lips.

Yao Yan's identity as a seventh-grade alchemist is truly terrifying.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Su Qian, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Where is that kid? Since he is an alchemist, he should be familiar with Han Feng's uncle. Why don't we ask him to tell us whether it's true or not?"

"Go out." Su Qian said in a deep voice.

"Where are you going?!"

Hu Qian was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Su Qian to let such a talented genius get away. What a stupid behavior.

"Black Horn Region..."
