High-Rank Cultivation Room
However, the students didn't look at Xiao Yan and his companion like they were monkeys. After glancing at them briefly, they went back to doing their own things.
Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention to the gazes around him, his eyes scanning the surroundings as he searched for the best cultivation room on the second floor.
The second level is already much hotter than the first level just by the heat contained in the air, so the effect inside the training room will only be better!
Walking slowly along the circular corridor with Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yan didn't look at the Low-Rank Cultivation Room on the left outer perimeter, but headed straight for the High-Rank Cultivation Room in the distance.
Just then, a figure suddenly flashed in front of Xiao Yan and the other person, and a somewhat resentful deep voice came from the middle-aged man's mouth.
"You little brats, don't you know the rules? New students must cultivate on the first level for a week before they can move on to the next level. The Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower's heart fire scorches everyone, and regardless of strength, it will always mix a trace of Fire Poison into your Dou Qi. This is not something to be trifled with."
The appearance of a figure in front of them made Xiao Yan and his companion stop in their tracks. They looked up and saw that the person was a middle-aged man with a mentor badge on his chest, who appeared to be someone who managed the order inside the tower.
"Fire Poison..." Xiao Yan murmured. He had discovered varying degrees of heat within the students' bodies, tightly adhering to their meridians, in both the first and second levels. Could that be Fire Poison?
Although the middle-aged man had a very rugged appearance, he was quite patient and slowly began to explain the matter of Fire Poison.
"Fire Poison is not to be taken lightly. Over the years, many people in the Inner Academy have suffered irreparable damage due to the accumulation of Fire Poison."
"Furthermore, it takes time to adapt to the intense heat of the Heart Fire. With each level of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, the intensity and heat of the Heart Fire in the training chambers increase exponentially. You haven't even adapted to the first level yet; are you courting death by coming to the second?"
Xiao Yan knew that the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, which utilized the effects of the Fallen Heart Flame, could accelerate cultivation, but he was unaware of the existence of Fire Poison.
However, seeing the traces of Fire Poison hidden in the students' bodies, Xiao Yan knew that such things clinging to the meridians were not only not a good thing, but would also be difficult to remove if the condition worsened.
After glancing at Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yan raised his hand and tapped his Storage Ring, casually taking out the reward Fire Crystal Card.
"Azure Fire Crystal Card!" Upon seeing the crystal card in Xiao Yan and the other person's hands, an exclamation came from the middle-aged instructor, whose face immediately turned to one of utter astonishment.
Seeing the middle-aged instructor's surprised expression, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "It is said that this Azure Fire Crystal Card is sufficient for cultivation in the first six levels."
"The Azure Fire Crystal Card does indeed have such an effect, but..." The middle-aged instructor hesitated for a moment.
There are no more than fifty Fire Crystal Card of this caliber in the entire Inner Academy, and those qualified to possess them are mostly renowned experts on the Strong Ranking, with strength at the Dou Ling level.
"What's going on?" Seeing the three of them frozen in place, another, slightly older, instructor approached.
The middle-aged man quickly and concisely explained the situation. The new instructor hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "It seems that this year's freshmen received the Azure Fire Crystal Card as a reward..."
After being reminded, the middle-aged man suddenly remembered. "It seems so..."
The senior professor thought for a moment and said, "Let them give it a try."
"But remember, if you can't withstand the scorching heat of the second layer of inner fire, then find a place to rest," the old mentor solemnly reminded him.
After thanking their two mentors, Xiao Yan and his companion headed towards the High-Rank Cultivation Room they had chosen.
Watching their retreating figures, the old mentor sighed softly, "Young ones, the cultivation speed in the lower levels is certainly faster, but that's only if you can withstand the inner fire. I hope you can truly endure it..."
As Xiao Yan walked towards the High-Rank Cultivation Room area, he found that it was undoubtedly more refined than the outside, and the number of rooms was also greatly reduced.
Stepping into his preferred cultivation room, Xiao Yan closed the door behind him.
Upon entering the cultivation room, Xiao Yan realized that it was clearly designed for two people to cultivate together.
In the center of the training room, there was a black stone platform that could only accommodate two people sitting on the floor. There were also tables and chairs in other places, and even a made-up bed in the innermost part of the training room.
I wonder if it's like this in other places too? Looking at the things in this cultivation room, Xiao Yan clicked his tongue in admiration, walked towards the black stone platform, and finally sat down cross-legged on it.
Xiao Yan twirled his fingers on his Storage Ring and took out several refined jade bottles and a jade ruler.
Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Xun'er, who was standing there dumbfounded, then casually took off his robe and stuffed the jade ruler and a container of Green Zhi Flame Spirit Paste into Xiao Xun'er's hands. "Apply this to me; it will speed up my cultivation."
Xiao Xun'er hummed in agreement and immediately began to apply the elixir to Xiao Yan's back using a jade ruler.
As the Green Zhi Flame Spirit Paste was applied, Xiao Yan immediately became extremely sensitive to the fiery energy in the cultivation room.
Even without using his pupil technique, Xiao Yan could see the faint red energy constantly emanating from the cultivation room.
However, the tingling and itching that followed the ointment made Xiao Yan gasp in surprise.
A while later, Xiao Yan also applied the dark red spiritual ointment to Xiao Xun'er's back. After each of them took a Wind-Speed Spirit Pill, they inserted the Azure Fire Crystal Card into the slot and began their cultivation.
As the two entered a meditative state, the cultivation room suddenly began to fluctuate. Streams of fire-attribute energy condensed out of thin air, eventually forming streams of slightly tangible, pale red energy.
These pale red energies, almost tangible, swirled and roared above Xiao Yan Xiao Yan and his companion's heads, before finally crashing into their bare upper bodies as if drawn by some force.
The collision of energy did not cause Xiao Yan and his companion to tremble. Instead, it was as if they had crashed into a bottomless black hole and were swallowed up in a very strange way.
As the first burst of energy moved, the swirling energy continuously collided with the two.
Because the surging energy was so immense, Xiao Xun'er, who was enveloped in a ring of pale red energy, had a faint golden light shimmering on her body.
Xiao Yan, like a bottomless pit radiating endless suction, absorbed all the extremely dense fire-attribute energy in the cultivation room.
Such a terrifying absorption speed would likely leave outsiders speechless with astonishment if they witnessed it.
After a while, Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle, which was an upgraded version of Burning Blood that he had refined with a hundred kinds of fire-attribute medicinal herbs that had been used for decades.
