Su Qian raised her head, looking up at the top of the tower, her eyes filled with deep desolation. "Is Jia Nan Academy going to end in my hands?"

The other Elder also looked dejected; Jia Nan Academy was where they had been nurtured, and it was like their home.

The core of the Inner Academy is the Fallen Heart Flame. Without the Fallen Heart Flame, the Inner Academy loses all its appeal and may even become mediocre, ultimately fading into obscurity.

They naturally did not want Jia Nan Academy to end in their generation.

This problem is extremely difficult to resolve. If it is constantly suppressed, it will inevitably erupt sooner or later, and Canaan will still not escape its fate. To say that it must be resolved is actually a matter of having no other choice.

Either way, the Academy will begin its decline; the only difference is that one option will preserve the students and the entire Inner Academy, while the other will lead to the complete destruction of the Inner Academy.

Su Qian led Xiao Tian back to her study.

"What do you think we should do if we release it?"

After sitting in his chair and pondering for a while, Grand Elder Su Qian looked up at Xiao Tian and asked.

"The solution is simple: at the right time, lift the restrictions on it and release it. My Free and Unfettered Hall can send three Dou Zong to assist you, and finally my brother will deal with the Fallen Heart Flame."

"What? Your Free and Unfettered Hall has produced three Dou Zong?"

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Su Qian stood up abruptly, her face filled with surprise.

They thought they only had one Dou Zong, the one from last time, but who knew there were others.

Su Qian even suspected that there were other Dou Zong in the Free and Unfettered Hall, and it was impossible for them all to be sent out.

In the entire Jia Nan Academy, there are only three Dou Zong, and two others Secluded Cultivation year-round, unlikely to appear unless it concerns the life or death of the Academy.

"Your Free and Unfettered Hall seems to be incredibly powerful! You're not as simple as you appear."

Xiao Tian understood the meaning behind Su Qian's words and chuckled, "Grand Elder, there's no need to worry. We are allies, and our interests don't conflict."

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Su Qian revealed a somewhat complicated expression. After pondering for a moment, she smiled, then frowned and looked at Xiao Tian.

"Isn't your brother only Da Dou Shi? How can he deal with this Heavenly Flames? Although he also has Heavenly Flames, it's only ranked nineteenth, not as good as the Fallen Heart Flame."

Xiao Tian looked up at Su Qian, his eyes full of confidence. "It's not convenient to reveal that right now. At present, the only one who can solve this Heavenly Flames is my younger brother. He is the most suitable person."

Su Qian gave him a deep look. "This matter is too important; I need to discuss it with the Elder Council."

Xiao Tian nodded slightly.

"To express the alliance between my Free and Unfettered Hall and Jia Nan Academy, I can give you some additional good news regarding the Academy."

Su Qian looked at Xiao Tian with a puzzled expression and asked, "What good news?"

"Previously, through the Heavenly Flames, I also sensed another Fallen Heart Flame within the magma."

Xiao Tian's words struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

"What did you say? Two Fallen Heart Flame? Are you sure?"

Su Qian stood up, placed her hands on the table, her face filled with horror, and cried out in shock.

"Yes, and I'm 100% sure."

Su Qian stumbled and fell onto the chair, unable to recover for a long time. One flower was already too much to handle, let alone another.

Su Qian looked at Xiao Tian with a bitter expression. "This isn't good news, it's devastating news."

What if I told you the other one was just an undeveloped flower?

"An unformed Fallen Heart Flame?"

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Su Qian's eyes flashed with a bright light. If the nascent Heavenly Flames could be subdued by the Academy...

By preventing it from developing sentience, there's no need to worry about it going berserk at any time, and the Qi Refining Tower can continue to exist.

"We'll help you retrieve that nascent flame. How you subdue it is up to you. I'm sure you have a way."

Xiao Tian smiled and looked at Su Qian.

"There's nothing we can do for those of us with intelligence, but for those of us who are still developing, there are methods left behind by the former Dean."

Su Qian immediately felt a sense of relief, and the weight on her heart instantly lifted considerably.

"Thank you very much for your message, young friend. From now on, Jia Nan Academy and your Free and Unfettered Hall will be allies forever."

"Furthermore, now that your Pan Gate is officially selling pills in the Inner Academy, I can reduce the fees you pay to one-tenth."

"Also, young friend, you can go to the Inner Academy Medicinal Herb Treasury to select any five-zhu medicinal herbs. Furthermore, you can freely enter the medicine warehouse and spend the corresponding amount of Fire Energy to exchange for priority access."

Xiao Tian was delighted to hear his words; the Inner Academy Medicinal Herb Treasury had hundreds of years of history and contained many fine items.

This is a good opportunity for me to see if I have any medicinal herbs to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Su Qian gave Xiao Tianyi Black Token, telling him that he could use it to freely enter the herb warehouse and exchange for any medicinal herbs.

After accepting the token, Xiao Tian smiled, chuckled softly, and took his leave of Su Qian. The rest was up to him to decide.

As for whether the Academy would agree, they had no other choice but to agree, and Xiao Tian did not reveal the exact location of the other flower.

Even the Academy's Thousand-Hundred Two Elders wouldn't fare well inside. Without Heavenly Flames to protect them, their Dou Qi is consumed rapidly, and they can easily lose their way. Going in would basically be a waste of time, not to mention the threat from the creatures that live inside.

Without the allure and guidance of the Fallen Heart Flame, finding that questionable space is simply a pipe dream.

After Xiao Tian returned to Pan Gate, he told Xun'er and the others about the reduced fees for Pan Gate, and everyone cheered.

It sounds like a 10% reduction, but for pill makers, that 10% is more than the total annual profit of other gangs.

The pharmaceutical industry is extremely profitable, and with the various operational methods taught by Xiao Tian, sales have become even more brisk.

Xiao Tian chatted with Xun'er for a while before preparing to go find Xiao Yan. As for Zi Yan, she also left Pan Gate not long after Xiao Tian left.

Zi Yan is not one to stay idle; she's either wandering around aimlessly or fighting with Warcraft.

Xiao Tian found Xiao Yan and briefly explained how he had helped him subdue the Fallen Heart Flame.

Xiao Yan was so moved and excited that his body trembled. He was still thinking about how to get the Heavenly Flames from the Inner Academy.

He had long since abandoned the idea of forcibly taking the book after seeing what the Yao Lao looked like and the two old men in the Library Pavilion; he didn't want to die young.

The news about Xiao Tian was like a bolt from the blue. "Tian Ge, thank you so much. Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll do it."

Xiao Tian waved his hand. "We're brothers, no need for further words. Our future enemies are formidable. The stronger you are, the greater our chances of victory."

"I can create opportunities for you, but whether you can win them over is up to you; there's nothing I can do to help you with that."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, looking at Xiao Tian with unwavering determination. "Don't worry, Tian Ge, I will definitely live up to the opportunity you fought for me."

Looking at Xiao Yan like this, Xiao Tian was also very moved. This younger brother in front of him had been very stubborn and determined since childhood. In particular, the three years of tempering and subsequent trials had made him develop the heart of a strongman.

"Yes, then you need to be well prepared, otherwise your life could be in danger."

Xiao Yan stared ahead. "The opportunity is right in front of me. Even if it means death, I will not regret it. To give up because of fear of death would be worse than being killed."

Seeing Xiao Tian Xiao Yan like this, Xiao Tian couldn't help but nod in admiration. This was very much in line with Xiao Yan's important personality: fearless of life and death, and desperately acquiring all resources.

Xiao Yan had to teeter on the brink of life and death countless times, and endure the strange power of the Flame Mantra, to achieve that level of accomplishment.

"I trust you."

Xiao Tian patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and then left the room. As he walked down the corridor, he remembered that there was one more thing he needed to arrange.

This was something I had decided to arrange for her to go in a long time ago.
