Lu Heng's words left Han Yue somewhat puzzled.
For students below the Dou Wang level, the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower was a sacred ground for cultivation.
But once they advanced to Dou Wang, their cultivation speed would be greatly reduced.
As for Dou Emperor experts, cultivating inside it had such a negligible effect that it could almost be ignored.
Lu Heng was already a Five-Star Dou Emperor. Going to the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower now was like using a golden basin to catch a drizzle—there was hardly any point.
"What are you going to the Qi Refining Tower for?" Han Yue voiced her doubts. "That place shouldn't be much help to your current cultivation, should it?"
Naturally, Lu Heng could not say that he had his eye on the juvenile Fallen Heart Flame at the tower's bottom, as well as Skyfire Venerable sleeping deep within the magma.
He had long made his plans. He would use the power of the Five Elements Roulette to first weaken Fallen Heart Flame's origin, then sneak into the Magma World and obtain both the juvenile Heavenly Flame and Skyfire Venerable's soul.
These matters concerned many of his future arrangements, so naturally, he could not reveal them to an outsider.
Without changing expression, he made up an excuse.
"The Fallen Heart Flame in the tower seems to have been a little restless lately. I'm going to take a look and absorb some of the scattered energy while I'm at it, helping suppress it so nothing goes wrong."
The excuse was perfectly reasonable.
As one of the strongest students in the Inner Academy, it made complete sense for him to care about the academy's safety and take the initiative to share its burdens.
Sure enough, Han Yue did not doubt him after hearing this.
