Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower

By continuously using the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, a Heavenly Flames that combines ice and fire, Xiao Yan has also gained a certain understanding of Yin and Yang.

With this understanding, Xiao Yan could use the Heaven-Earth Yin-Yang Flow to transfer attack power almost without leaving a trace.

"Brother Xiao Yan, are you alright?" Xiao Xun'er quickly stepped forward and took Xiao Yan's arm, who had lost his armor, and asked with some concern.

"It's nothing." Xiao Yan waved his hand with a smile. The White Fiend Team was indeed powerful. If it were any other Outer Academy students here, even if the other forty-eight of them attacked together, their chances of winning would probably be slim.

A numerical advantage cannot compensate for a gap in strength, much less a gap in combat experience.

After glancing at the young Dou Ling who was slowly getting up, the long-browed elder turned his gaze to Xiao Yan and said slowly, "As the winners of the Fire Energy Hunting Tournament, you will receive Azure Fire Crystal Card, plus fifty Heavenly Fire Energy."

Having received the reward that belonged to the victor, Xiao Yan did not continue to rob the remaining four members of the White Fiend Team.

Fire Crystal Card in the Inner Academy are divided into five colors: black, blue, cyan, red, and purple. The initial black crystal card is the lowest grade, which can only be used for cultivation on the first and second floors of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, while the cyan crystal card can be used for cultivation on the fifth and sixth floors.

To upgrade a crystal card, you need to pay "Fire Energy" in the Inner Academy. Generally speaking, it takes 100 days of "Fire Energy" to upgrade from a black crystal card to a blue crystal card, and 200 days of "Fire Energy" to upgrade from a blue crystal card to a cyan crystal card.

The Azure Fire Crystal Card reward is equivalent to saving three hundred days' worth of Fire Energy.

Upon arriving at a small building in a vast basin in the distance, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er settled down. They were much faster than the other students and were temporarily free of any problems.

However, Xiao Yan did not remain idle. He found a spot and began planting the medicinal herbs he needed.

Having expended considerable resources to break through to the Da Dou Shi level, he will need to rely on elixirs to continue his rapid breakthroughs.

Besides the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, which is effective for Da Dou Shi, Xiao Yan also plans to refine the Green Zhi Flame Spirit Paste and the Swift Spirit Wind Pill to enhance his cultivation.

Applying Green Zhi Flame Spirit Paste to the body can increase the body's sensitivity to fire-related energies and generate attraction.

Even without actively activating the technique to absorb energy, fire-attribute energy will be drawn in and flow into the body.

The Swift Spirit Wind Pill, once ingested, can accelerate the circulation of Dou Qi.

In addition, Xiao Yan also plans to refine a special item to enhance his physical strength.

Among the prescriptions he possessed was something called ' Burning Blood,' which could accelerate the consumption and regeneration of Dou Qi within the body. In this stalemate, one's strength would gradually increase.

Xiao Yan did not intend to refine the medicine according to the prescription, but made certain modifications based on the prescription.

Combine the required fire-attribute medicinal herbs with the blood of fire-attribute magical beasts, using herbs that are older to enhance their efficacy.

Ultimately, in addition to enhancing strength, the medicinal power of fire can also be used to strengthen muscles, bones, and blood.

Of course, the way this new product is used will change from applying it topically to taking it orally, allowing it to diffuse out of the body.

Several days later, when it was time for the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower to be activated, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er finally left the small building.

After running for more than half an hour, the two arrived at a depression in the terrain.

Within that depression, a section of a tower spire protruded from the ground, and at the spire was a pitch-black entrance.

When Xiao Yan and his companion arrived, there was already a large, densely packed group of students.

"Thump!"

Before long, the ancient sound of bells suddenly resounded throughout the area, and as the bells rang, the noise abruptly ceased.

"Open the tower!"

As the bell tolled, an aged voice seemed to emanate from within the tower.

Shortly after the aged voice faded, the tightly closed, pitch-black door creaked open slowly, releasing a faint, intense heat that slightly raised the temperature of the area.

Feeling the heat rushing towards him, Xiao Yan slightly raised his hand, and a small vortex was created, instantly gathering all the heat into his palm.

A flash of pale white light, and Xiao Yan froze it into an ice crystal, which he casually tossed onto the ground. With a hissing sound, the strange ice crystal melted into a hole the size of a fist in the ground.

After the "Fire Energy Acquisition Competition," Xiao Yan became much more proficient in using his Dou Technique. If he were to encounter the White Fiend Team again, he would be able to end the battle much faster.

"Go into the tower!"

The aged voice rang out again, and immediately everyone who had been sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed on the open space suddenly opened their eyes and stood up. With a whooshing sound, countless figures shot towards the tower gate.

"Let's go in too." Xiao Yan took Xiao Xun'er's hand and followed the crowd toward the entrance to the top of the tower, his eyes gleaming with a chilling white light.

As Xiao Yan activated his pupil technique, everything he saw underwent a dramatic transformation.

Inside the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, besides the extremely high temperature, there were also wisps of free-floating milky-white flames, ready to pounce on the bodies of the students entering the tower at any moment.

However, these students were clearly already experienced, using their Dou Qi to protect their bodies, preventing the milky white flames from penetrating.

Xiao Yan reminded Xiao Xun'er, and both of them used their Dou Qi to protect their bodies.

Although they all possess Heavenly Flames, the stray flames of the Fallen Heart Flame within the tower pose absolutely no threat to them. However, in terms of effectiveness, it is certainly not as good as being in a dedicated training room, so there is no need to waste time outside.

Upon entering the tower, Xiao Yan was surprised by its spaciousness; the first level alone was large enough for five hundred people to cultivate simultaneously.

Inside the circular tower, there are cultivation rooms of varying sizes. However, most of these rooms are already occupied, and small signs hang above the doors of each room.

However, the words written on the signs are not entirely the same.

Xiao Yan stopped and took a look. It turned out that these small signs were labeled with terms representing three levels: high-level, intermediate-level, and low-level.

According to his observation, the temperature in the High-Rank Cultivation Room was significantly higher than that in the Low-Rank Cultivation Room.

However, even among training rooms of the same level, there are certain differences in temperature, but the differences are not significant enough to warrant a separate level.

After looking around, Xiao Yan led Xiao Xun'er up the spiral staircase to the second floor.

Even though this first level is the High-Rank Cultivation Room with the strongest temperature, its acceleration effect on them is still somewhat lacking.

The second floor is about the same size as the first floor, but there are far fewer people here compared to the first floor.

The appearance of Xiao Yan and his companion surprised some of the students who had come out of the training room for a short rest.
