Flame Mantra Evolution, Zi Yan Emerges from Seclusion

Xiao Zhen had talked himself hoarse and agreed to refine five high-grade seventh-tier pills for the academy before finally satisfying the three old fellows.

Of course, Xiao Zhen was only responsible for refining them; the academy would have to provide the medicinal ingredients themselves.

Replacing a Heavenly Flame was also a major matter. Grand Elder Su Qian needed to discuss it thoroughly with the other elders, but the matter had already been decided. Even if someone truly objected, it would be useless.

After settling Zi Yan in, Xiao Zhen summoned Yao Tianhuo alone and explained the resurrection method he had obtained from Yao Chen.

Upon hearing such an ingenious idea firsthand, Yao Tianhuo decided to take the gamble as well.

However, Xiao Zhen was not helping for free. He required Heavenly Flame Venerate to guard the faction he belonged to for twenty years after being resurrected.
