Xiao Yao quickly settled on his residence, a five-story building with a courtyard, a quiet and secluded environment suitable for cultivation.
There are no other students living nearby, so I won't disturb others, nor will I be disturbed by others.
Xiao Yao expressed his gratitude to Elder Qing with satisfaction, but Elder Qing replied gently that he could come to him if needed in the future.
Xiao Yao's talent is basically set. As long as he grows up smoothly, he will definitely be able to become an elder of the academy if he wants to stay.
In other words, he and Xiao Yao are very likely to work together in the future, and Xiao Yao becoming Inner Academy elder may just be a short stop on his path to becoming stronger.
After that, Xiao Yao will inevitably travel to a wider world.
Under such circumstances, cultivating a good relationship with Xiao Yao would naturally be beneficial.
"If anything comes up later, we may have to trouble Elder Qing."
Xiao Yao exchanged a few polite words and watched Elder Qing unfold his Dou Qi Wings and leave.
After Elder Qing left, Xiao Yao toured the pavilion to familiarize himself with the surroundings before choosing a room as his bedroom.
However, Xiao Yao did not rest immediately. Instead, he followed the directions given by Elder Qing and headed towards the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
The Inner Academy is extremely vast, and even from a high vantage point, it is difficult to take in the entire Inner Academy.
Xiao Yao traveled a long distance before finally seeing the location of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower after climbing onto a tall building.
It was a sunken area, in which a black tower, buried deep in the ground, stood out conspicuously.
However, of that enormous black tower, only the spire and the entrance to the first floor are slightly above the surface; the rest are all buried deep underground.
Students were constantly coming and going from the entrance, indicating that the tower opening time had passed and there weren't many students waiting outside.
Upon seeing the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Yao did not hesitate. He flashed several times and arrived at the entrance of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Outside the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, he could clearly feel a spatial distortion similar to that of the Library Pavilion.
Clearly, this place is also protected by a spatial barrier set up by a Dou Zun expert.
However, Xiao Yao felt that this spatial barrier was somewhat external and not internal; otherwise, the Fallen Heart Flame wouldn't have broken through the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower so easily in the future.
Xiao Yao thought to himself, but his feet didn't stop; he headed straight for the dark gate.
The students were all taken aback when they saw Xiao Yao walk straight into the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower without any protection.
"Is that guy a freshman?"
"Fine, let him suffer a bit. A freshman dared to break into the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower without prior notice; it'll be good for him to learn a lesson."
Several students were talking in hushed tones; they clearly did not recognize Xiao Yao.
Although Xiao Yao caused a sensation in the Inner Academy, not every Inner Academy student had ever seen Xiao Yao.
The Inner Academy students knew that a freshman had caused quite a commotion, and that the towering golden pillar of light was actually the freshman's doing.
However, many people have never actually met Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao ignored the hushed discussions among the freshmen.
The moment he stepped into the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, he felt an invisible and intangible flame appear within his body, as if this flame had arisen out of thin air from within him, radiating scorching heat.
Xiao Yao already knew about the situation at the first Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, so he wasn't flustered at all.
As Xiao Yao sensed the sudden appearance of the invisible flame, descriptions of the Fallen Heart Flame surfaced in his mind.
"Formless and colorless, it manifests through the mind, and cannot be found anywhere..."
As wondrous objects of heaven and earth, each type of Heavenly Flames possesses its own unique characteristics and abilities.
Judging from the current situation, the Fallen Heart Flame is indeed very powerful.
Although the energy within this invisible flame is very weak, its ability to ignore physical defenses and appear directly within the body is indeed terrifying.
After all, even high-level cultivators are still quite fragile compared to other aspects of their bodies.
Thoughts flashed through Xiao Yao 'Xiao Yao mind, but the energy within his body responded swiftly to his thoughts, instantly enveloping the invisible flames completely.
Yang-Attribute Dou Qi is in no way inferior to the formless flames.
Moreover, with Xiao Yao as its source, Yang-Attribute Dou Qi has a huge advantage compared to rootless, formless flames.
Even without using the correct method, Xiao Yao could forcibly extinguish the invisible flames with his internal Dou Qi.
However, Xiao Yao's purpose in coming here was to see if the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower could help his cultivation.
Of course, he wouldn't waste his energy forcibly extinguishing the invisible flames. Instead, he would condense his Dou Qi and pass through the invisible flames.
The original large amount of Dou Qi shrank considerably after passing through the invisible flames, transforming into a highly condensed wisp of Dou Qi.
Not only was the Dou Qi condensed, but the energy within that Dou Qi was also enhanced.
Clearly, the energy absorbed by Xiao Yao's Dou Qi was closer to pure energy than fire-attribute energy.
If there is no pure energy within the invisible flame, then the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower is completely useless for students who are not of the Fire Attribute.
People with Ice Attribute like Han Yue can quickly increase their strength through the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Therefore, although Xiao Yao absorbs Solar Energy, pure energy can still make Xiao Yao stronger.
Logically speaking, Xiao Yao didn't need to go to such lengths to create a cultivation technique suitable for the Yang Attribute; absorbing pure energy could also improve his cultivation level.
However, the problem is that pure energy in the world is extremely rare and very difficult to refine.
Even now, under normal circumstances, Xiao Yao cannot extract a large amount of pure energy.
With so little energy available, how can one refine it into Dou Qi and thus rapidly advance their cultivation level?
Therefore, creating new laws is imperative.
Xiao Yao's eyes lit up; the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower was also effective against him.
In that case, Xiao Yao's cultivation speed can be increased even further.
He spent very little time at the Three-Star Da Dou Shi level because his cultivation technique transformation accelerated his progress, which allowed him to break through to the Four-Star Da Dou Shi in a short period of time.
Otherwise, based on Xiao Yao's previous speed, he would have broken through to the next star level in about a month.
Now, Xiao Yao is able to absorb Solar Energy during the day and cultivate Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower at night.
Moreover, the invisible flame helps to condense Dou Qi, so Xiao Yao can absorb Solar Energy during the day without any worries about the impurity of his Dou Qi.
After passing through three streams of Dou Qi, the invisible flame became extremely illusory, trembled slightly, and then completely dissipated.
Then Xiao Yao slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by a large group of people.
At this moment, an old man hurried over and was taken aback when he saw Xiao Yao open his eyes.
He carefully examined Xiao Yao. He was still wearing the Outer Academy uniform and did not have the badges that Inner Academy students possessed, so he was obviously a freshman.
However, it was the first time he entered the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower that he was able to recover on his own, and the time it took was extremely short, which was absolutely unprecedented.
The elder, recalling the previous rumors, seemed to realize something and said with a smile:
"So you're Xiao Yao, the one who's made such a name for himself among this year's freshmen?"
Xiao Yao cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Greetings, Elder. I am Xiao Yao."
Upon hearing Xiao Yao's affirmative answer, the surrounding students erupted in an uproar, their gazes towards Xiao Yao filled with curiosity and astonishment.
Seeing is believing!
It was truly astonishing that Xiao Yao was able to recover on his own in such a short time after his first entry into the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
