Chapter 96 Head of the Alchemy Department
In the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, in the exclusive training room for Su Qian, an old man and a young man were sitting cross-legged.
After a friendly conversation, Xiao Yun explained everything that could be said to Su Qian. As for his previous Qinglian Earth Heart Fire, he said that it was swallowed by the Meteoric Heart Flame.
"So, you absorbed the Meteoric Heart Flame below, and then found another Meteoric Heart Flame from the magma world below?" Su Qian widened his eyes, staring at the invisible flame in Xiao Yun's hand, and said in surprise.
Xiao Yun smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes, that's what happened. Through the connection between the exotic fires, I found it in the deepest part of the magma."
"Tsk tsk tsk, your luck is really good. The exotic fires come one after another." Su Qian smacked his lips. Although he was not an alchemist, he also knew how precious the exotic fires were. More than 99% of the alchemists in the mainland could not find a exotic fire in their lifetime. Xiao Yun was different. At such a young age, he had already subdued two exotic fires and even gave one to his teacher.
"Then this strange fire..."
"Of course it will be returned to the inner courtyard. Moreover, this Meteoric Heart Flame is different from the previous one. It is in its juvenile stage and has not yet been born with intelligence, nor does it have the wildness it had before."
"Elder Su can summon some elders with fire-attributed fighting spirit to feed it with fighting spirit. This will not only accelerate its growth, but also when it is born with intelligence in the future, it will naturally have a sense of belonging to the academy. Then, it can serve as the academy's inherited strange fire."
Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Su Qian's eyes lit up. The previous Meteoric Heart Flame was like a treasure with a time bomb to the inner courtyard. Although they could take its treasures, they were also facing the danger of extinction at any time.
The Meteoric Heart Flame that Xiao Yun sent was like a treasure without a time bomb. Although the overall value of the treasure had shrunk a little, it was no longer potentially dangerous.
"But because it has no intelligence, it is easier for others to get it. Elder Su should keep it properly."
Hearing this, Su Qian nodded in agreement. The previous Meteoric Heart Flame was difficult to seal even for the Dou Zong strongmen, let alone tame. But he felt that any Dou Zong King could tame this one.
"You're right, I'll pay attention! It's not a good idea for you to hold it like this. I remember that when the dean left, he left a container for collecting the Meteoric Heart Flame. I'll ask someone to bring it over." As he spoke, Su Qian took out a jade token and sent the message. After a
while, an elder came over with a container that looked like a teapot. Xiao Yun carefully put the young heart flame into it, and then injected some fire-attributed fighting spirit. Soon, some transparent fighting spirit filled the teapot. The
young heart flame churned, like a child who got a bottle of milk, and stayed in the container obediently to absorb fighting spirit.
Afterwards, Su Qian took the teapot to experience the effect of the Meteoric Heart Flame. After finding that the effect was only slightly weakened, the smile on his face became more and more intense.
"Hahaha! The effect is only slightly weakened. I believe that if we input more fighting spirit, it will be able to catch up with the previous Falling Heart Flame." Su Qian laughed and patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder, saying happily: "You did a good job this time, and helped the academy solve a big problem!"
"I am a member of the academy, and it is my duty to do this." Xiao Yun shrugged and said in a calm tone: "Elder Su, I have been down there for almost a year. I wonder if my teachers have come out of retreat?"
"Not yet. It's not that easy to break through to Douhuang and Douzong." Su Qian shook his head and said slowly, "You don't have to worry too much. With the pills you made, even if you fail to break through, you won't be backlashed by Dou Qi. Just consider it as accumulating experience."
"But I see that your aura has reached the cultivation level of a nine-star Douhuang. I believe you will be able to break through to Douzong soon, right?"
"Almost. I should be able to break through within a year." Xiao Yun was a little humble. In fact, he felt that only half a year would be enough. After all, Ruoluo Xinyan's nickname of 'cultivation cheat' was not for nothing.
What! One year! You will only be eighteen years old by then, right? An eighteen-year-old Douzong master! I'm afraid there aren't many of them even in Zhongzhou where there are so many geniuses. "Su Qian opened his mouth and took a breath of cool air when he heard what Xiao Yun said.
"Well, I don't want to say anything more. I will discuss the preservation of the Meteoric Heart Flame with other elders later. As for you, go and manage the Alchemy Department first. Old Man Huo entrusted it to you before he closed the door."
Su Qian, who looked hurt, waved his hand and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. He found a random reason to send Xiao Yun away.
Xiao Yun spread his hands helplessly, saying that it was not his fault that he was too talented. Of course, he did not say these hurtful words, but quickly left the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower and headed towards the Alchemy Department in the outer courtyard.
...
Above the clouds, Xiao Yun, who had spent nearly a year in the underground magma world, soared in the sky to his heart's content, with transparent flame wings stretched out behind him, and his figure quickly swept across the forest below.
Half an hour later, in the building of the Alchemy Department of the Outer Court, due to the instructions left by Elder Huo before, and Xiao Yun's identity as a sixth-grade alchemist, he became the head of the Alchemy Department very smoothly. Although he
served as the head of the department, the Alchemy Department did not distract Xiao Yun much. After all, there was a set of operating team here before. If he didn't want to be in charge, then the instructors of the entire Alchemy Department would help manage it, and only some more important matters would be allowed to be reviewed by him.
Since he has become the head of the Alchemy Department, he can freely mobilize all the resources of the department. Of course, this needs to be used in formal channels. Abuse of power for personal gain is strictly prohibited in Canaan Academy.
At this moment, in the office of the head of the department, Xiao Yun sat on a mahogany chair with his legs crossed, flipping through some scrolls.
"So, this is all the medicinal materials consumed by the Alchemy Department this year?" Xiao Yun raised his eyes and looked at a middle-aged instructor standing in the center and asked.
Hearing Xiao Yun's question, the middle-aged mentor hurriedly bowed and said, "That's right, Mr. Dean."
"Okay, you can handle this kind of thing by yourselves in the future, and don't bother me unless it's necessary." Xiao Yun nodded, then took out a jade bottle and a scroll from the ring, and with a flick of his fingers, the things were suspended in front of the middle-aged mentor.
"In the jade bottle are some elixirs to assist in cultivation, which are given to you. Are there any medicinal herbs on the scroll in the medicine warehouse?"
The middle-aged instructor's face lit up with joy, and he quickly took the scroll, looked down, and after a pause, he said respectfully: "Dean, except for the Blood Melting Fruit, the other herbs have backups
in the medicine warehouse." "This is my token, you will deliver those medicinal herbs to the Earth Fire Alchemy Room later." Xiao Yun stood up and threw out another token from the storage ring, saying as he walked: "Also, you will replace this chair for me later. I want a real leather sofa!"
"Yes!"
...
Xiao Yun left the office and came to the bottom floor of the Alchemy Department building, the alchemy room that belonged to the dean.
This place is connected to the underground magma world, which has abundant fire energy. When ordinary pharmacists refine medicine here, they can use the underground fire to increase the success rate of pills, but Xiao Yun does not care about that success rate, nor does he come here to refine pills.
Walking slowly, Xiao Yun came to the center of the bottom layer, where there was a huge magma pool, and in the center of the magma pool, there was a deep blue flame. With a
strange light flashing in his eyes, Xiao Yun scanned the area and found that there were layers of space seals around the Sea Heart Flame to prevent its terrifying aura from spreading.
"This... this is another exotic fire!" Yao Tianhuo emerged from the ring and exclaimed at the Sea Heart Flame in the magma.
"Yes, this is the Sea Heart Flame ranked 15th on the Exotic Fire List, a special exotic fire with water and fire attributes." Xiao Yun turned his head and looked at Yao Tianhuo, smiling, "Its previous owner was a sixth-grade pharmacist in the Black Horn Region. Because he coveted the exotic fire in my body, I killed him. Its exotic fire is also stored here, waiting for my teacher to break through the Fighting Emperor and then subdue it."
"So that's it!" Yao Tianhuo nodded slightly, then reacted and said in a surprised tone, "Fighting Emperor? Your teacher is someone else? Isn't Medicine Venerable your teacher?"
"I wish I had such a good disciple." Yao Lao also emerged from the bone flame ring, his eyes carrying some unspeakable meaning, and he sighed: "To be honest with Venerable Tianhuo, this Sea Heart Flame was originally owned by the traitor, but... Alas!"
Shaking his head, Yao Lao was unwilling to say anything more. Although Han Feng had been executed, he had once regarded him as his own son.
Seeing Yao Lao's expression, Yao Tianhuo immediately understood that there was a hidden secret here, otherwise Xiao Yun killed Yao Lao's disciple, and the two of them could still live in harmony here, but he was not a gossipy person, and just simply said condolences.
Seeing that Yao Lao's whole person became dim again, as if he had lost his luster, Xiao Yun hurriedly said: "Yao Lao, do you think the seal here is strong enough?"
"Don't worry, young man, in my opinion, although the seal here was set by a low-level Dou Zong, the strange fire has not yet been born with intelligence, so this space barrier can at least trap it for two years." Yao Lao did not say anything, but Yao Lao spoke.
Hearing this, Xiao Yun was relieved. Two years would be enough for Elder Huo to break through to Dou Huang, and then his teacher would be able to subdue it.
"That's good, Master Huo, let's go upstairs. The herbs for the Soul-Nourishing Saliva should have been delivered. I'll make them for you later."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the Earth Fire Alchemy Room. The two old men behind him also hurriedly followed and returned to the storage ring.
As soon as Xiao Yun walked to the Earth Fire Alchemy Room, the instructor brought the herbs. After a simple thank you, he took the herbs into the alchemy room and began to refine the soul-restoring elixir for Yaotian Fire.
