Chapter 547: The Owl Guardian Arrives
In the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in the No. 1 training room on the sixth floor, using the heart fire on this floor, which was stronger than other places, to practice.
This was originally Zi Yan's training room, but she had been missing for a long time, and Xiao Meng, who was second only to her, also left. Later, Zhou Mingrui also left with Xun'er, and among the students in the inner courtyard, the one who was most qualified to use it became Xiao Yan.
He had reached the peak of Dou Ling a few weeks ago, and this retreat was to break through to Dou Wang.
The free energy between heaven and earth was circulated with his skills, turning into a stream of air and being absorbed into his body.
These air currents first circled around the location of the fallen heart flame in his heart, and after preliminary purification, they flowed into his meridians. Then, he used the "Fen Jue" to further refine it, making it more pure, and then merged it into his own Dou Jing.
The Dou Jing of Dou Ling is in the shape of a sea urchin. Every time it is upgraded by one star, a spike on the Dou Jing will shrink and disappear. Xiao Yan only had one Dou Crystal left. As long as it disappeared and turned into a round sphere, he would break through to Dou Wang.
As the pure energy continued to flow in, the spike gradually became soft, shrank, and evenly dispersed around.
But when there was only a small point left, it stopped changing. No matter how the energy flowed in, it was like a rock in a torrent, always motionless.
Xiao Yan opened his eyes, took out two pills from the ring, and threw them directly into his mouth.
This pill recipe called "Yi Shi Dan" was found by Yuan Gong for him. It has very low requirements for medicinal materials and can be replaced at will, but it has high requirements for alchemy techniques.
Ordinary pills are made by combining different combinations and integrating the special properties of medicinal materials to stimulate the body, thereby exerting various effects. However, this kind of pill removes all the special properties of the medicinal materials, leaving only pure energy, and the grade depends entirely on the grade of the medicinal materials.
Yishi Dan is an excellent elixir for assisting cultivation. It can shorten the time of attracting and gathering energy, making cultivation faster and more efficient. It can also ensure sufficient energy supply when impacting a higher level.
In the eyes of a master of alchemy like Yao Chen, although it is unique, it is also wasteful.
The charm of alchemy lies in bringing out the special properties of medicinal materials and making the best use of them. But Yishi Dan wasted all of this in vain. If you look for medicinal materials that can accelerate energy absorption and refine them into corresponding elixirs, the effect will be much better than Yishi Dan...
However, that will limit the types of medicinal materials and require a set of materials, and the collection process will be more troublesome.
For big forces, Yishi Dan is quite useless, but for a lone ranger like Xiao Yan who can get some good things from time to time, but suffers from not having a set of medicinal materials and cannot use them, it is very useful.
With the help of Yishi Dan, Xiao Yan's body suddenly gathered a lot of energy. This energy poured into his Dou Jing like a torrent.
Xiao Yan's face twitched slightly, and a slight pain came from his Dantian. It was too much of a stretch to take two fourth-grade pills in one breath.
However, the pain did not intensify, which made him feel relieved. Under this huge energy, the last crystal thorn like a stubborn stone finally disappeared, and the Dou Jing became smooth.
A strong momentum rose from Xiao Yan's body, and he became a Dou Wang!
At this moment, he couldn't help but show a trace of joy on his face. Yunshan, Soul Palace, Xiao Meng, Xun'er, Soul Clan... The huge responsibility and pressure have been pushing him from behind, making him dare not stop for a moment.
A breakthrough in a major realm finally allowed him to take a breath under the heavy burden.
But... it's still not enough!
Still need to work harder!
Xiao Yan quickly put away his pride and adjusted his mentality.
"Xiao Yanzi, you can relax a little and go out for a walk. Being too tense is not a good thing... Cultivation should also be relaxed in moderation." Yao Chen's voice sounded in his heart.
"I know." Xiao Yan responded.
However, he did not get up and leave the training room, but continued to sit cross-legged in the same place to consolidate his realm.
One day later, Xiao Yan finally withdrew from the training. He had stabilized the realm of Dou Wang, no longer fluctuating like when he first broke through, and occasionally even fell back to Dou Ling.
Under the Tianfu Qi Training Tower, at the end of the deep magma channel, in a fiery red world filled with magma, the invisible fire python slowly opened its eyes.
It judged Xiao Yan's general state through the heart fire.
"Well... it's about time."
After the fire python whispered softly, it opened its mouth and took a deep breath.
The ubiquitous fire attribute energy around it instantly poured into its body, and its body became solid, the black and red color filled the colorless and transparent body, and a trace of white lava wandered on the black and red body.
Then, a hot light spewed out from its mouth and bombarded the seal center above the magma channel.
"Boom..."
A complex pattern lit up from the seal, and the energy exuded by the fire python was guided by the seal center and dispersed to various parts of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, and was dissolved by the special material of the tower.
During this process, the entire tower vibrated violently, and mysterious and complex patterns appeared on the tower.
These patterns were blocked by thick walls on the hollow in the center of the tower, so the students in the circular corridor could not see them.
"What happened?" Xiao Yan looked at the floor in doubt, as if something was staring at him from below through layers of obstacles.
A strong sense of crisis arose, and he did not dare to delay, and immediately ran to the upper level.
"I'm afraid it's the Fallen Heart Flame that is attacking the seal. This strange fire has already given birth to spiritual intelligence, and it must be dissatisfied with being sealed here for a long time, and will find a way to escape."
At this moment, a low, slightly hurried voice echoed in the tower:
"The situation is urgent, all students, hurry up and leave the Tianfen Refining Tower."
"The situation is urgent, all students, hurry up and leave the Tianfen Refining Tower..."
"..."
This is the voice of the tower guard elder, who repeated it several times, and then he also flew to the top of the tower from the central hole.
He looked at the dark hole below with a solemn expression.
The attack of the fire python only lasted for a short time, and the tower body had stopped vibrating and fell into calm.
But this calmness gave the tower guard elder great pressure, and the air was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
All the students and instructors in the tower have evacuated. They are not unfamiliar with this situation. In the past, this situation would happen almost every few days, but it has been much calmer in the past six months and has not happened.
A figure in a gray robe appeared next to the tower guard elder who evacuated from the tower. It was the great elder Su Qian.
He was not relaxed either, and asked in a low voice: "What's the situation?"
The tower guard elder replied: "It only attacked once and then calmed down, but this time the attack was more violent than any previous time, and it almost broke the seal."
Su Qian nodded: "Don't let your guard down, this beast is probably accumulating strength."
Xiao Yan did not follow the guidance of the instructor to continue evacuating, but quietly left the team alone and quietly returned to the vicinity of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.
He looked at the dark tower with expectation.
Only when the Fallen Heart Flame breaks free from the seal, he will have the opportunity to refine and devour it. As for Canaan Academy, he can only say sorry.
He has his own moral bottom line, but he is quite flexible in dealing with things. Although refining the Fallen Heart Flame would bring inestimable losses to Canaan Academy, he would not give up his goal because of this. At most, he would make some compensation afterwards or in the future.
Of course, it would be best if the Fallen Heart Flame escaped, and Canaan Academy could not deal with the disaster it would bring after escaping... If so, he could feel at ease if he went to subdue it, without having to bear the little guilt on his conscience.
Above the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, in addition to Su Qian and a group of elders from the inner courtyard, there were also Hu Qian and some elders from the outer courtyard.
The abnormal phenomenon that the Fallen Heart Flame had not made any movement for more than half a year made Su Qian very alert, so he made preparations early and drew some forces from the outer courtyard to let them stand by here.
After a long silence, the Fallen Heart Flame did not make any movement, and Hu Qian could not help asking: "What the hell is it doing? Did it give up?"
"Wait a little longer..." Su Qian looked down from the top of the tower, and the tension on his face never disappeared.
Xiao Yan was slightly disappointed. He muttered, "Ah... that's it?"
Yao Chen's voice rang in his heart: "Haha, don't be careless. It may not end well today... Su Qian and the others want to maintain the seal, but some people don't agree."
Xiao Yan understood what Yao Chen meant, and was shocked. He said in a surprised tone: "Besides me, is there anyone else eyeing the Fallen Heart Flame?"
"Well..." Yao Chen's tone became solemn, "You should be prepared and be careful. It will be a fierce battle next."
Before Xiao Yan continued to ask, a large piece of black fog rose from a distance, and a sharp and unpleasant laughter echoed:
"Hehehe... It's really disappointing. I wanted to wait for the Fallen Heart Flame to run out by itself. It seems that this guardian has to do it himself."
Three figures emerged vaguely in the black fog. They were all wearing black robes, with wide hoods covering their faces. Coupled with the rising black fog, people could not see their appearance at all.
Seeing these three people, Su Qian and the elders of the academy all changed their expressions, and many elders even showed a hint of fear.
Because these three people did not show Dou Qi wings behind them, they stood in the air, and they were all Dou Zong strongmen!
Su Qian's face was very ugly. These three people gave him great pressure, especially the people standing on the left and right sides. The aura made him feel depressed and gave him a feeling of invincibility.
He cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Three friends, what do you want to do in my Canaan Academy?"
Although he knew that the other party had bad intentions, the situation was stronger than the person. Before he completely turned against them, even if he was dissatisfied, he chose to be patient and tried to solve it through communication.
