Chapter 260

After all, the elders would definitely look for the cause of the sudden problem with the Qi Refining Tower. Little Fairy Doctor, who is obviously an outsider who does not belong to the inner courtyard, is hard not to become a suspect.

The other elders were naturally unaware of Little Fairy Doctor's presence, but that one Great Elder was different.

His strength reached the level of a two-star Dou Zong.

Even though Little Fairy Doctor already possessed the power to kill a peak Dou Huang, she still found it difficult to hide her strength in front of that Great Elder.

So after a brief investigation, they discovered that Little Fairy Doctor was an outsider.

However, although the Great Elder was very suspicious of Little Fairy Doctor's appearance, he was not one of those reckless people; on the contrary, he was very good at interpersonal relationships.

Instead of directly questioning Little Fairy Doctor about her intentions, they kindly invited her to discuss the situation and arranged a place for her to stay temporarily.

"I see. That old man does have some discernment."

After hearing Little Fairy Doctor's description, Yun Li was no longer worried. She was quite satisfied with the methods and arrangements of this Great Elder of the Inner Court.

If he dares to directly kill Little Fairy Doctor, or show any other malicious attitude, Yun Li wouldn't mind tearing down the entire Jia Nan Academy.

Of course, even if the Great Elder's strength reached the Dou Zong level, Yun Li was not worried that Little Fairy Doctor would actually get into trouble.

Knowing that there were Dou Zong level figures at the Jia Nan Academy, she still dared to leave Little Fairy Doctor alone here, precisely because of her immortality and the Light Cone she left for her.

"If I didn't have any discernment, my Jia Nan Academy would probably be destroyed."

Just then, an old voice suddenly appeared at the doorway.

This startled Little Fairy Doctor, who subconsciously looked over and then realized that, at some point, the Great Elder of the Inner Court had already appeared at the door.

Yun Li, on the other hand, seemed completely unsurprised, having already sensed his presence.

"You are the Great Elder of this Inner Court..."

Yun Li sized up the old man before her. He was dressed in black and had white hair. Although he looked very old, his eyes were sharp as swords, revealing an extraordinary demeanor.

Moreover, it's clear that he has a very calm and responsible personality.

"That's right, I am Su Qian, the Great Elder of the Inner Court of the Jia Nan Academy."

"May I ask your name, young friend?"

Su Qian looked at the girl in front of him. She looked about the same age as his adopted Zhiyan, but her strength was something he couldn't see through at all.

According to his investigation, the famous Medicine King of the Black Twisting Domain and the two strongest members of the Black List, the Gold-Silver Elders, were killed not long ago.

The person who killed these people is most likely the girl in front of you...

Despite possessing such strength, he was unable to sense even a trace of battle qi cultivation in Yun Li.

But one thing is certain: Yun Li's strength is extremely powerful, and it's definitely not just based on her killing of the Medicine Emperor and the peak Dou Huang.

And how she passed through the barrier without leaving a trace and entered the inner courtyard.

He had previously guessed that Yun Li's strength was at least on par with his own, so he couldn't afford to antagonize her. But now, seeing it with his own eyes, Yun Li's threat level had increased considerably.

"Just call me Yun Li."

Yun Li yawned and answered in a nonchalant tone.

"So it's young friend Yun Li. May I ask if Miss Yun Li is Yaoshi?"

Su Qian stroked his beard, a smile on his face, and suddenly asked this question.

"No, I am Sword Forger."

"Sword Forger?"

Yun Li's answer surprised Su Qian. In this world Sword Forger were indeed not well-known and their status was far from that of Yaoshi.

After all, even the best weapons are still just so-so.

Compared to advanced combat skills, the improvement of weapons is quite limited.

Previously, Su Qian suspected that Yun Li might be a Yaoshi, and that the disappearance of the Fallen Heart Flame should also be related to her, which is why she asked this question.

After all, only Yaoshi would pay special attention to strange fire.

The Medicine Emperor Han Feng died at her hands. That Medicine King possessed a strange fire. Not long ago, Yun Li and Little Fairy Doctor suddenly appeared in the inner courtyard.

Then the Fallen Heart Flame disappeared, and coupled with Yun Li's disappearance over the past few days, after finding Little Fairy Doctor, he naturally suspected Yun Li.

What's the deal with the Sword Forger?

Wait a minute, sword forging... sword, speaking of powerful sword-type weapons, Su Qian suddenly thought of something.

"So, those divine swords with unpredictable abilities that have recently appeared in the Black Twisting Domain, could they also have been made by young friend Yun Li?"

If that's the case, then things get a bit complicated.

Ordinary swords are nothing special, but Precious Sword Divine Weapon that has recently caused unrest throughout the entire Black Twisting Domain and even the surrounding areas has the power to directly threaten even a Dou Zong level expert.

Countless Douhuang-level experts have already died.

Although the Black Twisting Domain suffered heavy losses, which was a good thing for the Jia Nan Academy, such chaos did not necessarily bring peace of mind.

The struggle among various forces for those divine swords has not yet subsided, and the already chaotic Black Twisting Domain is now in an even more troublesome situation.

"You already know, why ask?"

Yun Li didn't care what Su Qian thought, nor did she give him any face just because he was older.

Spoiled by the old general since childhood, she was not a bad person, but she was not a particularly obedient girl either.

Unlike Yanqing, who was raised by Yanqing as his Jing Yuan from a young age, Yanqing respected his teachers and strictly followed everything his teachers and elders told him.

The child belongs to someone else's family.

However, Yun Li did not have this responsibility, and the old general doted on this granddaughter, indulging her in many things and letting her do as she pleased.

As long as you don't make mistakes, that's fine!

Therefore, Yun Li often does things her own way, has her own ideas, and doesn't even care what others think.

However, in this Dou Huo World, Yun Li's personality was not affected.

This world is a dog-eat-dog world where the strong are respected. Yun Li is strong enough in this world, so she doesn't need to care about any rules.

Su Qian was a little embarrassed when Yun Li refuted her without hesitation.

I feel this girl is even more unreasonable and difficult to get along with than Zhiyan.

Fortunately, Su Qian had a pretty good temper, especially when it came to Yun Li, a child who was similar to Zhiyan, he didn't get angry.

"Hahaha, as expected of a young hero! Young friend Yun Li, you possess such abilities at such a young age, truly extraordinary."

When Su Qian came to her senses, she just smiled. Although she didn't understand how Yun Li had forged that powerful Divine Weapon, it was indeed extraordinary.

I doubt they're any worse than those high-level Yaoshi.

The key point is that she is still so young.

Then, as if remembering something else, he changed the subject.

"What are your thoughts on the Jia Nan Academy, young friend?"

"It's alright, but it's still just so-so."

Yun Li spoke frankly, saying that Jia Nan Academy was only considered decent in this northwestern region.

Without the Fallen Heart Flame to help students accelerate their cultivation, Jia Nan Academy doesn't seem to have any noteworthy advantages.

Chapter 53 The Heavenly Gang has been turned upside down! How come Yun Li is even more gluttonous than me?

"..."

Hearing Yun Li's evaluation, Su Qian felt a surge of frustration.

The Jia Nan Academy, which others go to great lengths to get into, and which even people from the Central Continent travel thousands of miles to enroll in, is described by Yun Li as nothing special.

But before he could say anything, Yun Li's next comment left him speechless.

"If this were placed in the Central Continent, it would be even less impressive."

"..."

"In the Central Continent, Jia Nan Academy is indeed not worth mentioning."

Su Qian sighed slightly. Although Jia Nan Academy was a dominant force in this region, in the larger Central Continent, any one of the forces there could easily sweep across the Northwest region.

So the girl in front of you is from the Central Continent?

No wonder they are so powerful and arrogant.

This guess suddenly dispelled many of Su Qian's previous thoughts.

"..."

After chatting for a while, Su Qian decided not to waste any more time and finally got down to business with Yun Li.

"Young friend Yun Li, do Sword Forger also need to use powerful flames? Like exotic flames?"

He didn't know much about the Sword Forger, but Su Qian still suspected that the Fallen Heart Flame was related to Yun Li. Perhaps, like Yaoshi, Sword Forger also needed a different kind of fire.

However, he couldn't understand how Yun Li knew that the thing under the Qi Refining Tower was a strange fire if she really did all of this.

What puzzled him even more was how he managed to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame without affecting the seal.

These things are too unbelievable; he certainly couldn't do them himself.

"Indeed, forging a sword requires an extremely powerful flame."

"The more powerful the material, the higher the intensity of the flame required; even a single type of strange fire is not enough to meet the standard."

Yun Li didn't hide anything, and didn't even care about Su Qian's thoughts. When he asked what Su Qian wanted to know, he directly admitted it.

"Stop beating around the bush. You just want to know if I took the Fallen Heart Flame. Why make it so complicated?"

"That's right, the Fallen Heart Flame is the one I subdued."

After speaking, Yun Li took the initiative to reveal the Fallen Heart Flame. She stretched out her fair little hand, and the colorless flame burned in her palm.

Whether it's the aura or the irresistible Heart Flame, it all indicates that this is the most important thing about the Jia Nan Academy.

"It really was you..."

Su Qian's eyes widened as she looked at the Fallen Heart Flame in Yun Li's hand.

He was well aware of the beast's power; even a peak Dou Zong expert couldn't do anything to it in the magma world.

Now, they are so obediently in Yun Li's hands.

"Young friend Yun Li, you truly have remarkable skills. You've managed to tame this beast so well. But do you know that this is the prized possession of my Jia Nan Academy?"

"Without the Fallen Heart Flame, Jia Nan Academy will completely lose its ability to cultivate students."

First, Su Qian was shocked by Yun Li's methods. Then, his expression became extremely serious, and he stared intently at Yun Li as he spoke about the importance of the Fallen Heart Flame.

"You couldn't even subdue a Fallen Heart Flame, and you're blaming me for subduing it?"

Yun Li wasn't buying it. Jia Nan Academy had only discovered the Fallen Heart Flame by chance and then used its power to establish the school.

They couldn't even subdue it; they could only seal it away.

"Besides, it didn't originally belong to the Jia Nan Academy, but to that Heavenly Fire Venerable. And that Heavenly Fire Venerable gave me everything he owned."

"So whether in reality or in name, the Fallen Heart Flame belongs to me."

Yun Li retrieved the Fallen Heart Flame and directly explained its origin.

"The Heavenly Fire Venerable?"

Venerable One?

Was this Fallen Heart Flame originally supposed to belong to a Dou Zun powerhouse?! Su Qian had some doubts, but then realized that Yun Li didn't seem to be lying.

"Even so, Jia Nan Academy has been guarding the Fallen Heart Flame for many years... Never mind, young friend Yun Li, I can ask you for a favor."

Su Qian wanted to say something more, but in the end he gave up. He could have taken it from Yun Li, but considering Yun Li's strength and experience, he hesitated.

More importantly, he sensed a hidden danger from the girl, so he gave up and changed his attitude to a plea.
