Chapter 165 - Chapter 165: Taking Away the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python

At the bottom of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, by the wide opening of the cave.

Su Qian stood quietly with a tired face, surrounded by silence. In the vast space, there was no other figure except him.

Below the cave opening, red magma surged, occasionally bubbling up.

"It's been half a month..."

A hoarse voice came from Su Qian's mouth, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Since the day the seal was restored, he had entered the Underground Magma World, attempting to find Lin Xiu, but to no avail.

"Such a good kid, clearly didn't need to go down there, but sacrificed himself to save others, sigh..."

Recalling the scene that day, Su Qian deeply regretted not stopping Lin Xiu.

If he could have stopped him, then he wouldn't have been in trouble.

He was still a student, dealing with matters like the Fallen Heart Flame had nothing to do with him originally. If it weren't for the Academy's arrangements, he wouldn't have been involved at all.

Thinking about such an outstanding student with a bright future, who died prematurely, Su Qian felt very uncomfortable.

"Should we erect a monument for him?"

Su Qian inquired and found out that Lin Xiu was alone, with no family or connections, so even if the Academy wanted to compensate, they couldn't find a suitable candidate.

The underground Magma World was filled with high temperatures, consuming Dou Qi greatly, and predominantly containing fire attribute energy inside, making it difficult to replenish Dou Qi.

He no longer held hope for Lin Xiu's survival.

Turning around.

Su Qian decided to put his thoughts into action.

Suddenly, there was movement in the silence, coming from afar and getting closer, from small to large.

He quickly turned around and saw a figure rapidly approaching the cave opening, widening his eyes.

"Lin Xiu? You're still alive?"

With a wave of his hand, Su Qian released the seal barrier, looking at him in disbelief.

"Grand Elder, disciple is fortunate."

Lin Xiu looked somewhat bedraggled, but overall, his spirit was still quite good.

Seeing Su Qian glance behind him, he smiled faintly, "Xiao Yan is fine too, but he has encountered a bit of opportunity and can't come back for the time being.

By the way, Grand Elder, this barrier won't be needed anymore. I've already resolved the issue with the Fallen Heart Flame."

As he spoke, Lin Xiu summoned an invisible flame.

The flame was only half the size of the previous Fallen Heart Flame, quietly floating in the air.

From the flame, one could sense the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame, but it lacked its previous ferocity.

"You erased its consciousness?" Su Qian gasped.

The original plan of the Academy was to erase the consciousness of the Fallen Heart Flame, making it easier to control and obediently providing Heart Fire for students to refine their Dou Qi.

However, the Fallen Heart Flame belonged to the Heavenly Flame category and had grown cunning over a long period, leaving no chance.

"It's thanks to the Elders joining forces to weaken it. Otherwise, even if I knew the Flame Soul Separation Technique, I wouldn't have been able to do anything."

Lin Xiu nodded.

"Lin Xiu, you've solved a big problem for the Academy."

Su Qian's face was excited as he patted Lin Xiu's shoulder vigorously, his eyes filled with admiration.

Then, Su Qian placed the Fallen Heart Flame into the Magma World, where the strand of flame hung dumbly at the center of the cave opening, quietly absorbing energy.

After observing several times in succession, Su Qian led Lin Xiu out of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Other Elders saw Lin Xiu and gathered around, expressing their concern.

When they learned that the trouble with the Fallen Heart Flame had been completely resolved, the gazes of the Elders towards Lin Xiu changed.

Su Qian didn't insist on keeping Lin Xiu, letting him go back to rest first, while Su Qian himself called other Elders and convened a meeting.

Back at the residence, Zi Yan, Du Chaoping, and others were also very excited.

Lin Xiu briefly responded to them and then returned to his room.

As soon as the door closed...

Bang!

A colorful light appeared, followed by a fair figure appearing and staring coldly at Lin Xiu's back.

The light dissipated, revealing a woman exuding a charming aura all over her body.

She had a cold temperament, her expressionless face carrying a faint dignity.

"Queen Medusa, don't forget I saved your life." Lin Xiu looked calmly at her.

"No need for your reminder."

The woman's gaze softened, but her expression remained serious. "I just want to tell you, don't play tricks like Xiao Yan. You promised to refine the Spirit Fusion Pill. When will it be ready?"

"At most half a year."

Lin Xiu didn't plan to delay too long.

Because only when Medusa's Soul and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python completely fused could it be considered a true Seventh Rank Magic Beast.

And with his possession of the Fallen Heart Flame, half a year was enough time for him to advance to Dou Emperor. By then, he would need the blood of a Seventh Rank Magic Beast to break through Aptitude.

"Alright, half a year, I'll remember. After it's done, I owe you two conditions."

Medusa received the promise, her brow furrowed, a fleeting look of pain crossing her delicate face, and she transformed back into her small snake form.

Sitting up, Lin Xiu looked at the seven-colored little snake wrapped around his wrist again, a hint of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

After leaving the place where the Venerable Tian Huo's skeleton was, Lin Xiu went to where Xiao Yan was.

However, he didn't approach immediately.

Instead, he waited nearby until Xiao Yan couldn't hold on any longer and the Fallen Heart Flame tried to devour him before intervening.

At that time, Xiao Yan was already nearing his limit, his clothes burned clean, and even his Spatial Ring shattered, scattering its contents everywhere.

The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python couldn't withstand the high temperature, revealing Medusa.

She intended to break the Fallen Heart Flame and escape, but instead, she enraged the Fallen Heart Flame.

As the Soul and the physical body had not completely fused yet, encountering this Heart Fire, Medusa was burnt to the point of being on the brink of death, in extreme pain.

She attributed all of this to Xiao Yan and was ready to take action directly, intending to settle the score with the one who had caused her harm before she died.

Then Lin Xiu appeared.

He took control of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Seeing him, Xiao Yan's spirit lifted, and he asked Lin Xiu for help to complete the consumption of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Of course, Xiao Yan wasn't asking for help for nothing; he allowed Lin Xiu to make requests.

After some negotiations, they reached an agreement. Lin Xiu erased half of the Fallen Heart Flame's consciousness and helped Xiao Yan start the consumption process.

Xiao Yan was delighted to learn that Lin Xiu was willing to take away Queen Medusa.

After the teacher fell asleep, having this woman around was like having a time bomb beside him.

Now in the underground Magma World, Xiao Yan didn't need such a strong companion. Without hesitation, he agreed and even willingly handed over the remaining Purple Crystal Essence to Lin Xiu.

Afterward, Xiao Yan began the consumption process.

Before leaving, Lin Xiu casually took the formula for the Spirit Fusion Pill from the scattered items.

As for the map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and such, Lin Xiu didn't touch them. With this lifesaving favor, Xiao Yan owed him a debt of gratitude, so there would be future opportunities.

Having someone else gather them up was much easier than doing it himself.

"The refining of the Spirit Fusion Pill isn't difficult, mainly it's about the materials. But with the backing of the Academy, it's simple."

Lin Xiu fell into contemplation. "Now that the Fallen Heart Flame is in hand, there's no need to worry about strength improvement. The next thing to do is to settle scores, and then consolidate the foundations through the several sects and royal families in the Black-Corner Region and Jia Ma Empire."

Dou Techniques and Qi Methods were both things Lin Xiu needed; they were crucial for his strength improvement. They were also vital for accumulating Attribute Points.

However, these things were still a bit distant for now. Lin Xiu was more curious about what rewards the Academy would give him.

"If only I could be stationed at the Scripture Pavilion..."

Lin Xiu's eyes gleamed with desire for the treasures inside. There were many Earth Rank Dou Techniques there. Obtaining an Earth Rank Dou Technique would be much quicker than continuously upgrading and merging Low Level ones.
