The middle-aged scholar's expression was indifferent, but as he and Qian Yuan were both mid-level officials in the prefectural yamen, they were acquainted.

He opened his mouth and said:

"My uncle is in seclusion, so he arranged for me to oversee the academy for a few days."

"It's just opening a Destiny Hearth. Even if it's a Sixth Grade Hearth, I can open it."

"Just rest assured!"

"Is this little child going to undergo Determining Destiny? What good luck! This Purple Destiny Furnace on our island hasn't been opened for thirty years. The Destiny Fire inside is very strong and is guaranteed to help him determine a good destiny!"

Qian Yuan nodded, turned to Jing Qian, and said:

"Go to the side room and get ready. In three days, Steward Tao will open the Destiny Hearth and transfer the Destiny Fire to you."

Jing Qian nodded and went to a side room, casually chose an empty one, and walked in.

In this courtyard, only Qian Yuan and Tao Yong remained.

Then, Qian Yuan spoke again:

"Steward Tao, don't look down on that kid inside. He's someone our office head values."

"When you connect the Destiny Fire for him, add an extra stream!"

Tao Yong looked surprised and said:

"Office Head Zhu even taught him the Reincarnation Heaven-Born Destiny Law?"

"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll add a big extra fire for him!"

"However, this extra stream of Destiny Fire is an additional expense for compensation. How should we account for this?"

Qian Yuan said:

"Deduct it from my share of Destiny Fire for now. After all, it's all part of our Maritime Affairs Office's business."

Tao Yong nodded and watched Qian Yuan turn and leave the courtyard.

Inside the side room, Jing Qian sat cross-legged on a futon and let out a long sigh!

After all the twists and turns, his crude plan had actually succeeded.

Holding the Tide Divination and knowing the great secret of the Jing Clan, no one questioned his identity!

Next, he only needed to safely pass the ritual of the Destiny Fire burning his body, and he could appear before everyone with a completely new appearance.

Only he was left of the Jing Family; no one else could expose him or question him.

And that Qi Zhi Shi Island would never have imagined that he, a newly promoted Ninth Grade minor cultivator in the Maritime Affairs Office, could be the Jing Clan orphan they had been searching for so desperately.

With his new identity and cultivation, he was confident he could thrive on HunZhou Island.

Jing Qian gathered his scattered thoughts and focused on the upcoming Destiny Fire burning.

In this world, cultivators activate the Destiny Hearth, connect with the Destiny Fire, and burn themselves to awaken their innate Destiny Constitution and enter the Dao of cultivation.

This was a necessary path for every cultivator!

However, this does not mean that a cultivator can only endure the burning of the Destiny Fire once.

On the contrary, this miraculous Destiny Fire itself possesses infinite wondrous uses. It can refine magic power, purify cultivation, dispel aberrant energies, and temper the physical body.

Were it not for this, it would be impossible to help mortals enter the Dao.

And for cultivators who have already entered the Dao, the burning of the Destiny Fire is likewise greatly beneficial.

It is just that the establishment of a Destiny Hearth is quite difficult, and the accumulation of Destiny Fire is even more resource-intensive.

This makes the value of Destiny Fire equally considerable!

For ordinary people, seeking a single strand of Destiny Fire to help them enter the Dao is already extremely difficult.

Unless one is the master of a Destiny Hearth successfully forged by themselves, very few people can utilize surplus Destiny Fire to support their cultivation.

This is also why, in the region of Hun Zhou, Seventh Grade Prolonging Life cultivators who have achieved true success in cultivation would think of opening up Destiny Islands and establishing their own legacies.

Only in this way can they control this Destiny Fire resource, cultivate their influence, and support their own cultivation.

And in the land of Hun Zhou, the entity that controls the most Destiny Fire resources is undoubtedly the Prefectural Office.

Within this Academic Directorate, there are four Ninth Grade White Flame Stoves, two Eighth Grade Azure Burning Stoves, one Seventh Grade Azure-Blue Stove, and one Sixth Grade Purple Destiny Furnace.

The Prefectural Office uses these to meet the Destiny Determining needs of the entire island's population of over ten million, as well as the basic daily cultivation needs of the many great cultivators within the Three Houses and Two Directorates.

It is precisely because of this that Jing Qian is quite looking forward to the upcoming burning of the Destiny Fire!

The Sixth Grade Purple Destiny Furnace, with its pure fire, can inherently assist cultivators in awakening a higher level of Destiny Constitution.

If an ordinary rogue cultivator, using a White Flame Stove, awakens an Azure Wing Destiny Constitution, then if they were to use a Purple Destiny Furnace instead, they would at the very least be elevated to a Blue Blood Destiny Constitution!

This is the first step in creating a vast disparity between rogue cultivators and legacy cultivators!

And for Jing Qian, this second burning process in his life is equally crucial!

He saw himself retrieve three White Fang level Sea Demon magical materials from the Void Realm, to serve as the necessary materials for the Three Sacrifices Establishing Fate Method.

Immediately after, he directly immersed his consciousness into the Destiny Stele Space.

This time, he did not use the Void Realm to conceal his body, but completed the transfer of consciousness while in meditation.

Sitting beneath the Destiny Stele, Jing Qian began a crucial preparation for cultivation.

He saw himself connect with the Destiny Stele using his divine sense, and used a Destiny Forging Opportunity.

Immediately after, that half-step Blue Blood level Tide Destiny Constitution flashed onto the Destiny Stele.

And Jing Qian did not pause, activating the second Destiny Forging Opportunity once again.

This time, it was the Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits Destiny Constitution's turn to enter this space and land upon the Destiny Stele.

The third Destiny Forging Opportunity continued to activate!

The last Sumeru Destiny Constitution in his sea of consciousness was also moved by him onto the Destiny Stele!

By this point, Jing Qian had expended three precious Destiny Forging Opportunities, yet he did not pursue reforging his Destiny Constitution.

Instead, he used the power of the Destiny Forging Opportunity to make a perfect attempt!

At this moment, Jing Qian's sea of consciousness was completely empty, with no trace of a Destiny Constitution whatsoever. Only a dozen or so White Fang Destiny Essences remained within.

He had miraculously created the illusion of returning to the peak of the Nourishing Essence realm!

There was no trace of a Destiny Constitution on his entire body, yet it didn't affect his ability to use the power of three Destiny Constitutions in the slightest!

Using Destiny Fire to burn his body and temper his magical power cultivation was certainly an excellent thing.

But how could it compare to undergoing Determining Destiny again?

Jing Qian, with a deeper reserve of Destiny Essence, richer experience in Determining Destiny, and using the more powerful Purple Destiny Furnace, would undergo Determining Destiny once more.

What kind of Destiny Constitution harvest would he gain?

This made him incredibly excited!

He silently adjusted his breathing, nurturing his divine soul and magical power. Three days passed in a flash!

The auspicious time had arrived. Boundless purplish-red Destiny Fire poured out from a special pipe within the roof beam of the room!

The raging flames poured onto Jing Qian, igniting him like a torch!

He remained calm at heart, urging the fourteen White Fang Destiny Essences within his body to rush towards the Destiny Fire.

The three White Fang magical materials in front of him instantly melted. As the profound secrets of the Three Sacrifices Establishing Fate Method were employed, his mind once again entered that chaotic and strange space.
