Yin-Yang Twin Flames

Xiao Yan took a small sip and immediately felt as if a stream of magma had entered his throat, the scorching heat spreading to his entire body.

After storing the jade bottle in his Storage Ring, Xiao Yan immediately began to circulate the Flame Mantra Technique, refining the various energies within his body.

The medicinal power and the energy of heaven and earth circulated and refined along the wide and resilient meridians in the body, finally swirling rapidly within the meridians with the dark white Dou Qi.

If you look closely, you can see strands of crimson energy drilling into your meridians as you practice your technique, eventually penetrating your bones, flesh, and skin, causing Xiao Yan's entire body to faintly glow red.

This is precisely the effect of the Super Burning Blood enhancing physical attributes.

With so much assistance from various sources, Xiao Yan was confident that he could maintain an extremely fast advancement speed with his Sacred Body, which had obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Under such cultivation, both Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er could clearly feel their strength increasing dramatically. Neither of them wanted to stop; this surge of pleasure gave them a sense of comfort emanating from the depths of their souls.

Of course, although Xiao Yan and his companion did not want to stop cultivating, the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower's operation time was not permanent.

For the next six months or so, after the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower opened, Xiao Yan would go there with Xiao Xun'er to cultivate.

Furthermore, as their strength increased, they continued to delve deeper into the lower levels.

During the period when the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower is closed, Xiao Yan will stay in his residence, plant medicinal herbs, and prepare to enter the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

However, besides the things Xiao Yan wanted to do, his life wasn't always peaceful due to some external factors.

The Outer Academy students who entered the Inner Academy quickly learned their lesson!

Under the layers of exploitation by the senior students, these top students among the vast majority of students in the Outer Academy have been paying various so-called 'new student tribute fees' round after round.

If the dormitories hadn't been useless, they would almost certainly be homeless, impoverished black slaves.

Unable to endure any longer, they pleaded with Xiao Yan.

The competition was fierce, and Xiao Yan didn't hold grudges against his classmates for past issues. Instead, he formed a faction to protect them.

The entire operation of the force roughly involves providing materials to its members, then Xiao Yan refining pills and distributing them. The members then rely on these pills to enhance their strength, protect themselves, and provide more materials.

Of course, Xiao Yan didn't concoct medicine for nothing.

If a member provides three sets of materials, even if Xiao Yan can successfully refine three pills, he will only give one to the member, keeping two for himself as a reward for his efforts.

Given his enormous need for elixirs, Xiao Yan would never allow himself to become a mere alchemist.

During this cycle, Xiao Yan's strength rapidly increased to the level of Nine-Star Great Dou Master, and his alchemy skills also improved accordingly. Once his Dou Qi level completely broke through to the Dou Ling level, he would be able to refine some simple Sixth-Grade Pill.

In addition, Xiao Yan's reputation Alchemist gradually spread throughout the Inner Academy.

After his reputation grew, not only students from outside the main factions, but even the instructors and elders of the Inner Academy sought Xiao Yan's help in alchemy.

Among the Alchemist they knew, Xiao Yan was young but accomplished, yet he lacked the arrogance typical of Alchemist.

As time went by, Xiao Yan finally made contact with Elder Hao was in charge of managing the medicinal herbs.

By refining a Fifth-grade Pill, one can retrieve a precious medicinal herb from the Medicinal Materials Repository.

Rare medicinal herbs are hard to come by, and even the seeds are not easy to obtain. Xiao Yan is prepared to seek an opportunity, and Jia Nan Academy's collection is certainly not lacking.

As the Inner Academy's storage place for precious medicinal herbs, this Medicinal Materials Repository is heavily guarded. Not only is Elder Hao, a Dou Wang expert, stationed there, but there are also a dozen instructors patrolling 24 hours a day.

Students are generally prohibited from entering this area, but fortunately, due to Elder Hao's instructions, when Xiao Yan was stopped by a patrolling instructor and his identity was confirmed, he was brought before Elder Hao.

"Hehe, you've only been in the Inner Academy for less than a year, yet you're already close to the Dou Ling level. Your alchemy skills have also improved by leaps and bounds. If the Fire Old Man from the Alchemy Department knew that he'd only reached the level of someone who's been here for less than two years, he'd probably be so frustrated he'd vomit blood."

Elder Hao, who was inspecting the storage of medicinal herbs, quickly put down what he was holding when he heard that Xiao Yan had arrived, and smiled as he looked at Xiao Yan walking towards him.

"Elder Huo is not the kind of person with a narrow mind. Moreover, Elder Huo has been immersed in the art of alchemy for many years, far surpassing Xiao Yan." Xiao Yan smiled and bowed slightly to Elder Hao.

"If he were truly that skilled, he wouldn't have remained Fifth-Rank Alchemist for so many years." Elder Hao approached Xiao Yan earnestly, patted him on the shoulder, and casually tossed him a snow-white object. "Go find whatever medicinal herbs you want."

Upon receiving the snow-white object, Xiao Yan glanced at it and realized it was a jade tablet made of white jade, with various lifelike herbs carved on it, making it look quite unique.

Holding the jade token, Xiao Yan turned and walked towards the medicine storehouse in the room.

"By the way, little guy, remember not to touch anything else after you find what you need. Everything there is marked with energy traces," Elder Hao reminded Xiao Yan as he was about to enter.

Xiao Yan was naturally aware of these taboos and used the white jade in his hand to open the warehouse door.

Upon entering, Xiao Yan blinked, his eyes immediately gleaming with a chilling white light.

After scanning his surroundings, Xiao Yan put away his pupil technique. There were quite a few medicinal herbs here, and their properties varied greatly. It would be difficult to distinguish the ones he wanted using only his pupil technique.

Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry. The warehouse was right there; he could take his time and find the most suitable medicinal herb for his next cultivation.

As Xiao Yan slowly walked down the corridor, all sorts of strangely shaped medicinal herbs came into view.

Adamantine Bodhi, Cold Marrow Branch, Blood Lotus Essence...

After a meal, Xiao Yan had explored most of the spacious white jade room, and secretly noted down a few of his preferred choices.

Currently, Xiao Yan hopes to find a Seven-Illusion Green Spirit Saliva here, which, combined with the effects of the Medicine Spirit Sacred Body, will allow him to continuously enhance his soul power simply by consuming it.

However, the Seven-Illusion Green Spirit Saliva is extremely rare; even Jia Nan Academy does not have such a collection.

Walking down the last corridor, Xiao Yan suddenly stopped and stared intently at the half-red, half-white fruit in the jade plate.

"Dragonwhisker Icefire Fruit..." Xiao Yan's heart warmed involuntarily.

It's not that the medicinal herb itself is of immense value, but rather that this special herb might help him find the Yin-Yang Twin Flames of the Heavenly Flames.

This special flame, interwoven with yin and yang and imbued with the laws of nature, may be somewhat similar to the Three Thousand Burning Flame born from the stars, and its place of existence is also quite unique.
