Side Effects of the Spirit-Gathering Formation
Elder Lin! Xn
"Old Lin!"
Xiao Lin's arrival immediately drew gasps of surprise from First Elder Su Qian and the other Elder.
All I can say is that, in their eyes, Xiao Lin's return was just in time!
If it had been any later, they wouldn't have been able to hold on!
"First Elder, why is this happening? Even with the two Grand Elder joining in, they couldn't suppress the riot of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower?"
Looking at the Elder who were gritting their teeth and holding on, Xiao Lin's face was full of surprise.
Upon hearing Xiao Lin's question, First Elder Su Qian, Qian Mu, and Bai Lie couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
Then, First Elder Su Qian briefly explained the current situation to Xiao Lin.
At this moment, Xiao Lin realized that things were not as he had imagined.
In fact, if we include the two Grand Elders, Qian Mu and Bai Lie, they were indeed capable of suppressing the riot of the Fallen Heart Flame beneath the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
However, this will cause a problem.
Since Qian Mu and Bai Lie had no other means, they could only violently suppress the Fallen Heart Flame!
But if Erdan and the others do that, the signal tower for the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower will also be destroyed.
You should know that the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower is the foundation upon which Jia Nan Academy was founded!
Unless absolutely necessary, First Elder Su Qian would never want this to happen.
However, if we don't use violence to suppress it now, the entire Jia Nan Academy will probably be lost.
Therefore, before Xiao Lin returned, First Elder Su Qian was extremely conflicted.
However, the two Grand Elders, Qian Mu and Bai Lie, have not actually made a move yet.
They stayed near the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower as a precaution.
Once First Elder Su Qian and the others can no longer hold out, in order to protect Jia Nan Academy, the two of them will probably be forced to choose violent suppression.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin returned at the critical moment.
If it were a few hours later, the two Grand Elders, Qian Mu and Bai Lie, would probably make their move.
It can only be said that Xiao Lin's return was not as good as his timing!
"I see."
After listening to First Elder Su Qian's explanation, Xiao Lin nodded.
However, another question soon popped into Xiao Lin's mind.
"However, First Elder, why did the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower suddenly riot? Has this happened before?"
In Xiao Lin's view, this riot at the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower was clearly abnormal.
After all, if such a thing really happened in the Original Work history, either the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower would be gone, or Jia Nan Academy would be gone.
However, this did not happen in the Original Work story.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the riot at the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower was instigated by Xiao Lin, the butterfly that caused it.
Xiao Lin had some suspicions, but he didn't have any evidence yet.
However, First Elder Su Qian's next words completely confirmed this point.
"Speaking of which, it actually has something to do with you, Old Lin!"
As he spoke, First Elder Su Qian gave Xiao Lin a resentful glance.
This immediately sent a chill down Xiao Lin's spine.
Good grief, you can talk all you want, but what's with that look?
"Let's talk about this matter between the two of us. Regarding the riot at the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, the Dean had already left his words when he left."
However, the dean had said that the riot at the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower would probably happen a few years later.
He will return to suppression when the time comes.
However, I didn't expect that Elder Lin's intervention would bring this riot forward.
At this moment, Qian Mu picked up where First Elder Su Qian left off and explained.
Bai Lie nodded in agreement.
The information revealed in Qian Mu's words also made Xiao Lin realize something.
That is Mang Tianchi, the dean of the Jia Nan Academy, who should return to the Jia Nan Academy in a few years.
As for when the other party left Jia Nan Academy last time, they should have calculated the time of the next riot in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
However, this time, due to Xiao Lin, there was just a slight accident.
Xiao Lin could guess the reason why the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower riot was related to him, even if he didn't think too hard.
After all, he had only made one modification to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower nearly six years ago.
"Is this a side effect of the Spirit-Gathering Formation?"
Although it was a rhetorical question, Xiao Lin used a tone of affirmation.
The three First Elders, Su Qian, Qian Mu, and Bai Lie, remained silent in response.
Remaining silent is essentially tantamount to acquiescing.
After a while, First Elder Su Qian finally spoke again.
"Old Lin, you don't need to blame yourself for this. After all, none of us expected this situation. Moreover, the Spirit-Gathering Formation you set up in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower has truly benefited Jia Nan Academy."
Many teachers and students in the academy, and even Elder including myself, have benefited from this!
Seeing a hint of self-reproach on Xiao Lin's face, First Elder Su Qian quickly spoke up.
"Yes, Su Qian is right."
"Elder Lin, this was a choice made collectively by the Jia Nan Academy; it has nothing to do with you."
As First Elder Su Qian finished speaking, Qian Mu and Bai Lie also spoke in succession.
"I know, but this is ultimately because I didn't think things through! I never expected that setting up Spirit-Gathering Formation in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower would not only improve cultivation efficiency but also bring such great benefits to the Fallen Heart Flame beneath it."
In the past five years, the Fallen Heart Flame must have strengthened its own essence considerably with the help of the Spirit-Gathering Formation in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
They remained silent until now, when it finally erupted.
It seems the Fallen Heart Flame's intelligence is already quite high!
By this time, Xiao Lin had basically understood the whole story.
To put it simply, he set up Spirit-Gathering Formation in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. The gathered spirit can not only improve a person's cultivation efficiency, but also help the Fallen Heart Flame grow!
This has led to the premature outbreak of the Fallen Heart Flame today.
"Old Lin, do you have a way to solve this problem?"
Seeing that Xiao Lin didn't show too much worry, First Elder Su Qian guessed what was going on and immediately asked excitedly.
At the same time, Qian Mu and Bai Lie also turned their gazes over.
"Of course! Since I'm the one who nurtured this Fallen Heart Flame to this level, it's time to collect some interest from it!"
Facing the somewhat eager gazes of First Elder Su Qian, Qian Mu, and Bai Lie, Xiao Lin smiled faintly.
In fact, Xiao Lin had already prepared a backup plan regarding the Fallen Heart Flame.
However, this backup plan is for when his great-grandson will subdue the Fallen Heart Flame in the future.
Now that Jia Nan Academy has run into trouble, this backup plan has to be used sooner rather than later.
This is also the main reason why Xiao Lin wanted to find out what happened as soon as he returned to the Jia Nan Academy, rather than rushing to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame.
Because everything is still under his control!
