Chapter 182 Return to the Inner Courtyard

At this time, Lord Tianhuo's voice sounded again. His voice seemed a little weaker than before.

"Xiao Ling, my soul power is already very fragile and I cannot maintain my physical form for too long. The task of repairing my soul is left to you. Please remember that my current soul state is not stable and time is running out. You Must act quickly."

His eyes slowly fell on Xiao Ling, and there was a hint of expectation in his tone.

After listening to Lord Tianhuo's narration, Xiao Ling nodded seriously and responded:

"Senior Tianhuo, don't worry. Once we arrive at Canaan College and handle the necessary matters, I will immediately start preparing the materials needed to repair the soul."

"I still have a lot of means to restore soul power."

Due to inheriting Yaochen's secret book and Canaan Academy's rich elixir recipes, Xiao Ling has mastered many elixir formulas, many of which are precious formulas that can repair the soul.

Therefore, the problem of helping Lord Tianhuo recover his soul is just a piece of cake for Xiao Ling.

When Lord Tianhuo heard this, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he said softly,

"Thank you very much. If you encounter any difficulties in practicing the 'Five Wheels of Fire Technique', you can always ask me for advice. Since you are willing to help me, I will naturally not be stingy with my knowledge and experience. "

Xiao Ling nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll thank you senior first."

"Five Wheels of Fire Technique", Xiao Ling was very interested in this fighting skill.

It is not only an advanced fighting skill, but also contains unfathomable potential.

If you can use the strange fire contained in your body as a medium to perform this fighting skill, its power will be earth-shattering, even comparable to heaven-level fighting skills.

It is no exaggeration to say that the five-wheel fire-living method is undoubtedly the best choice for a practitioner like Xiao Ling who is able to integrate the power of multiple types of fire.

As time passed, Lord Tianhuo's soul seemed to become more transparent. He nodded slightly, indicating that he was about to return to Najie.

Seeing Lord Tianhuo return to Najie, Xiao Ling didn't waste too much time, so he turned his head and looked at the deep cave entrance leading to Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, and rushed straight away without hesitation.

…

After a while, Xiao Ling stepped out of the deep hole of Tianfen Qi Refining Tower. His figure was like a blue meteor in the night sky, landing lightly on the platform at the bottom of the tower.

Her long hair fluttered gently behind her, and her blue-gold hair shone softly under the light of the moonstone, which was particularly eye-catching.

At this time, two elders who were practicing felt the space fluctuations in the tower.

Their eyes were instantly attracted, and their eyes were like torches, penetrating the surrounding darkness and looking in the direction of the cave entrance.

Only a blue-haired boy was seen. His figure seemed not to be bound by gravity, and he could float stably in mid-air without any assistance.

When they saw the face of the blue-haired boy clearly, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Xiao Ling?"

Xiao Ling smiled and nodded to them. He glanced at the two elders and recognized them.

He landed lightly on the ground, raised his hands and saluted, and said: "Elder Liu, Elder Zhao, it turns out that you two are here. The boy has just returned from practicing below and disturbed the two of you. Please forgive me."

Elder Liu, a tall man with a resolute face, is a well-known practical instructor in the college; Elder Zhao, gentle and elegant, is an alchemist. Both are senior elders of Canaan College and have helped Xiao Ling when he was young.

Elder Liu and Elder Zhao looked at each other and saw the surprise and relief in each other's eyes.

Elder Liu was the first to come to his senses and responded with a smile: "Xiao Ling, you don't need to apologize to us. We are here to protect and observe. You can come back from practicing under the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, which shows that your cultivation level has improved. It’s really gratifying to be diligent.”

Elder Zhao asked hesitantly: "Xiao Ling, what are you..." He was obviously very surprised that Xiao Ling was able to walk through the air without any external force.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and explained: "I devoured most of the origin of the fallen heart flame in the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, and my cultivation level has been improved. Now I have reached the Douzong realm."

Upon hearing Xiao Ling's confirmation, the two elders couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although they had a premonition in their hearts that Xiao Ling's strength would be greatly improved after retreat, and he was even expected to reach the realm of Douzong.

However, when Xiao Ling actually stood in front of them and confirmed his breakthrough, the premonition in their hearts seemed to become insignificant.

Xiao Ling's achievements are astounding, especially his youthful appearance - at just a teenager, he has already reached the Douzong realm that many people dream of.

This talent and strength are truly unbelievable, but they have to be admired.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the two elders, Xiao Ling just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and showed an indifferent smile.

He did not linger on this matter, but gently brought the topic to pass, as if all this was just a natural and inevitable result for him.

Then, Xiao Ling smiled slightly and took out a simple pot-shaped container from his arms, which was the Fire Gathering Pot containing the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Elder Liu, Elder Zhao, what is contained in this Gathering Fire Pot is the Fallen Heart Flame. Now that I have devoured most of its origin, it must be handed over to the academy to take care of."

There was a hint of relief in Xiao Ling's voice as he handed the fire pot to the two elders.

"Most of the origins of the Fallen Heart Flame have been absorbed by me. Although its current power is not as strong as before, its intelligence has been affected and it has become as innocent as a child." Xiao Ling's voice was calm and firm as he continued to explain.

"As long as the academy can cultivate it carefully and establish a deep emotional bond with it, it will provide enough heart flame power for the students of the academy and accelerate their cultivation process. As time goes by, the fallen heart flame will not only be able to restore its former self With his strength, he is more likely to grow into the guardian spirit fire of Canaan College, adding a layer of protection to the college when it faces difficulties. "

When Elder Liu and Elder Zhao heard this, the smiles on their faces grew stronger.

They have been practicing in the Tianfen Qi Training Tower for many years, shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the fallen heart flame, and have already developed deep feelings for this strange fire.

"Xiao Ling, your words really make us feel extremely gratified." Elder Liu said with deep feeling, "In the past, Xinyan, who died, had a violent temperament and found it difficult to live in harmony with us. Now we have such an opportunity to re-establish emotional connection. , we must cherish it.”

Elder Zhao also agreed, saying: "That's why we have spent many years with the Fallen Heart Flame, and our affection for it is extraordinary. Now that it has become so docile, it is a good time for us to deepen our affection for it."

With that said, the two elders carefully opened the fire pot, and a weak flame floated out. Although the power was not as strong as before, it still exuded a unique light and temperature.

The Fallen Heart Flame floated out slowly, and its shape became extremely small, like a small flame that had just been lit, shining with a soft and weak light.

It swayed gently in the air, seeming both curious and shy about this sudden freedom.

Fallen Heart Flame was like a child who had never seen the world before. It was watched by the expectant and loving eyes of the two elders. Its movements seemed hesitant and uncomfortable.

It danced gently in mid-air, seemingly greeting the two of them.

Elder Liu and Elder Zhao looked at this strange fire that was once so powerful, but now has become so young and fragile, and their eyes couldn't help but show deep affection.

At this time, the two elders began to joke with each other.

Elder Liu held Xiao Yan in his hand and looked at Elder Zhao with a smile.

"I have taken care of the Fallen Heart Flame for fifteen years. I know it much better than you do. I should be the one to teach it."

Not to be outdone, Elder Zhao retorted: "I have taken care of it for twenty years and know its temperament clearly. I am more qualified to cultivate it."

After saying that, he stretched out his arm, trying to snatch the Fallen Heart Flame away from Elder Liu.

The two elders talked to each other and argued endlessly, but the smiles on their faces never diminished.

Xiao Ling stood aside and watched the interaction between the two elders, with a faint smile on his face.

At this moment, Lord Tianhuo's voice sounded in Xiao Ling's mind: "Entrusting the Fallen Heart Flame to these people, I believe it will receive the most careful care. This is indeed an ideal choice for it. arrange."

There was a sense of reassurance in his tone, as if he was sincerely happy that Fallen Heart Flame could find an environment that could provide it with care and protection.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and responded silently in his heart: "Senior, please rest assured. Canaan College will definitely cherish the Fallen Heart Flame as if it were a treasure. If you miss it in the future, you are welcome to visit at any time after you reshape your body."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling stopped talking, nodded gently to the two elders, and then walked towards the outside of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower.

Passing by the training site of Tianfen Qi Refining Tower along the way, the eyes of many students were attracted by Xiao Ling.

When they saw Xiao Ling, they all stopped what they were practicing, saluted and greeted him warmly.

"Elder Xiao Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time. I feel that your strength has become stronger again." A male student couldn't help but admire, his eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, Elder Xiao Ling, your demeanor is becoming more and more extraordinary!" Another student also echoed, with a hint of envy in his tone.

At this time, a female student's voice was particularly loud: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Elder Xiao Ling, you seem to be handsome again!" There was a hint of shyness in her words, but she could not hide the nymphomaniac in her heart.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, nodded to them, and responded: "Thank you for your concern. I am also very happy to see your progress. The road of cultivation is long and arduous. I hope you can persevere and continue to break through yourself."

At Canaan College, Xiao Ling's attitude towards the students was always kind.

Whenever he was in the medicine refining department and met students who came to ask for advice, Xiao Ling would patiently answer their questions as long as time allowed.

It was Xiao Ling's humble and approachable character that earned him the respect of many students in Canaan College.

His words were warm and inspiring, and all the students present felt an infusion of strength.

Xiao Ling's figure gradually disappeared from their sight, but his words and encouragement were like seeds, taking root and sprouting in their hearts.

As these students spread word of mouth, the news of Xiao Ling's release quickly spread in the inner courtyard and became the focus of heated discussion.

Everyone speculated that after nearly a year of seclusion, what kind of height would Xiao Ling's strength reach now.

…

Canaan College Inner Courtyard

Following a subtle spatial fluctuation, Xiao Ling's figure appeared silently in the courtyard of Elder Su Qian.

In the courtyard, Elder Su Qian was immersed in a mountain of official duties. Suddenly, he sensed a strange movement in the courtyard, his eyes were like lightning, and he cast an exploratory gaze towards the source of the fluctuations.

Seeing Xiao Ling, Elder Su Qian had a look of surprise on his face. He put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and laughed loudly: "Haha, Xiao Ling, are you out of seclusion? Look at the radiance emanating from your body. His momentum must have broken through to the Douzong realm, right?"

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, with a smile on his face, and responded: "Exactly, thanks to the trust of the academy and Elder Su Qianda, I was able to swallow the original power of the fallen heart flame, and now I have successfully broken through to Douzong."

Elder Su Qianda laughed loudly, his voice full of relief: "Okay, okay! As long as you are fine. You are the pride of our college. This matter will be of great benefit to you and the college. Naturally, I fully support it." ”

Xiao Ling smiled lightly, "Without the cultivation of the academy, there would be no Xiao Ling today."

Suddenly, Elder Su Qian seemed to remember something, a playful light flashed in his eyes, he chuckled and said,

"By the way, Xiao Ling, those girls are very concerned about you. Recently, they often come to my place to ask about your retreat, and they are quite concerned about you."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but have an awkward smile on his face. He coughed lightly and cleverly changed the subject: "Elder Su Qian, regarding the latest situation of Fallen Heart Flame, I need to report to you in detail."

Afterwards, Xiao Ling told Elder Su Qian the specific situation of the fallen heart inflammation.

Elder Su Qianda listened, with a flash of eagerness in his eyes, obviously full of interest in the current situation of Fallen Xinyan.

He couldn't wait to see with his own eyes what Fallen Xinyan was like now.

The two chatted for a while in the courtyard, and the topics ranged from the cultivation of Luo Xinyan to the future of the college.

The soft light of the setting sun gradually filled the courtyard. Elder Su Qian stood up slowly and prepared to leave. He said to Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, I need to check the condition of Fallen Heart Flame, so I won't talk to you for a long time. ”

Xiao Ling did not stay here longer. He watched the figure of Elder Su Qian fading away. Then he turned around and embarked on the road back to his courtyard.
