Chapter 188 Inner Courtyard, Tianfen Refining Qi Tower!
After Yun Tianming killed the sixth-level magic beast, the group did not encounter any accidents and successfully arrived at the coordinates designated by the academy.
"Inner Courtyard, is it here?"
Everyone looked confused. They saw a bottomless mountain stream in front of them, and there was endless green shade around them. Not to mention the inner courtyard, even a building could not be seen.
"The power of space."
Yun Tianming narrowed his eyes. With his powerful soul perception, he found that the energy flow around him was abnormal, as if it was distorted by some mysterious force.
"Hehe~"
"Not everyone can enter the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy."
The three elders drove the griffin beast to land on an open space somewhere, and then took out a jade slip. An energy mark shot out from it, and a twisted space gate appeared in front of them.
"This is the space blockade set up by the great elder Su Qian. Outsiders cannot enter here without the corresponding energy mark."
Passing through the space gate, what came into view was a magnificent large-scale academy, which looked no less than a super-large city from a distance!
"The inner courtyard is ahead, but before that, you still have to participate in a fire energy hunting competition"
"Why is it another assessment? What is this fire energy, a hunting competition?"
Hearing the elder's words, everyone's faces were puzzled.
Yun Tianming knew this very well. The so-called fire energy is the number of times you enter the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower to practice. It can be used as a "hard currency" to trade in the inner courtyard. However, Yun Tianming is not a student, so he naturally will not participate in any fire energy hunting competition.
Under the leadership of an elder, Yun Tianming came to the office of the Alchemy Department.
"Come in!"
A loud shout came from the room one second before Yun Tianming knocked on the door.
Yun Tianming paused slightly, and thought to himself: The soul power of the late mortal realm is very sensitive!
Pushing open the door, I saw an old man with red hair and red beard, sitting in front of the medicine cauldron, concentrating on refining medicine. The flame he controlled was actually a seventh-level beast fire!
Yun Tianming did not make a sound to interrupt, but quietly observed the other party's medicine refining.
Huang Zhaoxu, Qianyuan Lingguo. These are the medicinal materials for refining the sixth-grade elixir!
But, what a pity.
Yun Tianming shook his head secretly.
"Puff~"
Only a dull sound was heard from the medicine cauldron, and the medicinal materials turned into a ball of ashes just before they were condensed into elixirs.
"Damn! Failed again! What went wrong?"
"This sixth-grade elixir is so damn hard to refine!"
As if he had experienced countless failures, the old man was quite annoyed and spoke vulgar words.
Seeing this, Yun Tianming couldn't help but analyze: "Qianyuan Lingguo, the medicinal properties are strong and not easy to be integrated with other materials, it should be repeatedly refined by quenching method"
"Boy, what are you talking about. Eh? This method may really work?"
The old man first glanced at him, then frowned and thought carefully, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the boy in front of him with surprise: "Are you the new instructor, Yun Tianming?"
"It's me, meet Elder Huo."
From the mouths of other elders, Yun Tianming learned that the director of the Alchemy Department is Elder Huo, a fifth-grade peak alchemist.
"Yun Tianming! Can you refine a sixth-grade pill?"
Elder Huo's eyes lit up and looked at him with expectation.
"Sorry, I'm only a fifth-grade alchemist."
"I just accidentally got the notes of a mysterious alchemist and learned a little bit of alchemy techniques."
The method of processing Qianyuan Lingguo comes from "Yaochen Notes", which also records a lot of detailed methods of processing medicinal materials. Of course, theory is theory, and it is difficult to actually operate it. With Yun Tianming's current level of alchemy, the success rate of refining a sixth-grade elixir is no more than 20%.
"Tsk tsk~ Such a young fifth-grade alchemist is rare even in Zhongzhou!"
"And your alchemy notes must have been written by a great alchemy master!"
Elder Huo looked at Yun Tianming with envy. In fact, his true identity is from the Yan clan, one of the eight ancient clans, but his bloodline is not pure enough and his talent is relatively average, so he ran out to work alone and became the director of the alchemy department of Canaan College by chance. "Since you
have such knowledge, I believe you can be competent for the job of a mentor."
"Here are the specific benefits, take a look."
Elder Huo was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush with him. He took out a detailed list of benefits right away.
Yun Tianming took the list and glanced at it briefly: two classes are arranged per week, one is a theoretical class, and the other is an alchemy practice class. A minimum of 150 days of fire energy can be obtained per month, and a certain commission will be charged according to the number of students attending the class.
"In the inner courtyard, fire energy can buy everything, which is equivalent to money in the outside world. This is easy to understand, right?"
Elder Huo took out a crystal card from the drawer and handed it to him.
"Understood."
Yun Tianming took the crystal card and only needed to inject a little fighting spirit, and the number of fire energy would be displayed on it: three hundred.
"Haha! This is a personal gift from me."
"If you want to get more fire energy, you need to work hard on your own!"
——————Dividing line——————
Entering the inner courtyard as a mentor is just a cover.
Yun Tianming's real goal has always been only one: Fallen Heart Flame!
"Is that the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower?"
From a long distance, you can feel the rich fire attribute energy coming from it. In the concave terrain, an extremely large black tower is buried deep underground, with only a section of the tower top and a layer of underground entrance exposed on the ground.
Yun Tianming first tried to use his soul power to spy on the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, but was blocked by a strict space blockade and could not explore the internal environment.
"It is well guarded indeed. It seems that the Fallen Heart Flame is not that easy to get."
The strongest person in the inner courtyard is Elder Su Qian, who is only a two-star Dou Zong.
But Yun Tian knew that in a secret space somewhere in the inner courtyard, there were two strong men with peak Dou Zong strength, Elder Qian Bai and Elder Bai!
With his current strength, it would be difficult to compete with them even if he used his soul skills. So it was impossible to rob them by force, and he could only wait for the opportunity.
At this time, there were still a large number of students gathered at the entrance of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. Unlike the students in the outer courtyard who wore uniform uniforms, the inner courtyard allowed free association and the formation of gang forces. Members of different gangs had exclusive clothes or badges. Therefore, the students formed teams based on gang groups, with the larger gangs at the front, the smaller gangs at the back, and a few "independent people" without affiliation at the end.
"Hey~ Liu Qing, you also come to Tianfen Refining Qi Tower to practice today?"
"Huh! Lin Xiuya, you are the same."
"I heard that the freshmen are very arrogant recently. They beat the old students to death in the fire hunting competition."
"Han Yue, I heard that you plan to recruit the new king. The name seems to be Xiao Xun'er into the Ling Gang."
"It was rejected. Xiao Xun'er claimed that she planned to create a gang on her own."
"Really? Freshmen create a gang, very courageous!"
At the entrance, the old students talked about the interesting things of the freshmen, and there was a lot of teasing on their faces.
At this moment, a strange face passed by them, cut in line as if nothing had happened, and openly stood in front of all the gang groups. Is there
anyone else who wants to invest? It will be full soon.
