Reentering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower
"Huh? I've already broken through?"
Completely unprepared, Xiao Lin stood in the courtyard of his Pavilion, looking utterly bewildered.
Although this was only a breakthrough from One-Star Dou Zong to a two-star Dou Zong, Xiao Lin still found it somewhat unbelievable.
Originally, he planned to rest for one night and wait for his mental fatigue to subside before using the double buff of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower and the Spirit-Gathering Formation to break through in a couple of days.
Unexpectedly, he only set up about a hundred small Spirit-Gathering Formation in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, and he broke through naturally.
To be honest, this was not what Xiao Lin had expected.
However, upon closer examination, it does make perfect sense.
It had actually been almost a year since Xiao Lin broke through to the Dou Zong Realm.
During this period, he mainly focused on creating Dou Techniques and improving his Spirit Array Master level.
However, whether it's creating Dou Techniques or upgrading Spirit Array Master's level, Dou Qi is always required.
Therefore, although Xiao Lin has not focused on cultivating his Dou Qi for the past year, his Dou Qi has still been improved to a certain extent.
Next, we set up about a hundred small Spirit-Gathering Formation in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
This is yet another opportunity for Xiao Lin to hone his skills!
Therefore, this breakthrough came about naturally.
At the same time, with Xiao Lin's cultivation breaking through to the Two-Star Dou Zong, even disregarding Xiao Lin Spirit Array Master level and Heavenly Soul Realm, he has already surpassed First Elder Su Qian and become the strongest Dou Qi cultivator in the Jia Nan Academy on the surface!
At this moment, among all the members of the Jia Nan Academy, only the Qian Bai Er Lao, who never interfered in affairs and whose existence was unknown even to most teachers and students, were probably slightly stronger than Xiao Lin in terms of Dou Qi cultivation.
But if the two sides really start fighting, Xiao Lin can kick the Qian Bai Er Lao and his wife, like footballs!
Of course, we're all on the same side now, so there's no need for that.
Moreover, although Xiao Lin has not yet met Qian Bai Er Lao and Elder Bai, First Elder Su Qian must have already informed them about his Jia Nan Academy.
After all, Xiao Lin is a Dou Zong and a Formation Master. It's impossible for Qian Bai Er Lao to ignore such a big matter as his decision to the Jia Nan Academy.
In fact, if nothing unexpected happens, those two old men might already be secretly cultivating inside the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower!
Don't forget, in the Original Work, when Xiao Yan entered Jia Nan Academy, these two old men were only at the Peak Dou Zong.
It's still about thirty years until the Original Work story begins.
At this point in time, these two old men are at most Mid-Stage Dou Zong.
On the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Lin has set up Third-Level Spirit-Gathering Formation.
The Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower used to offer almost no benefit to Dou Zong.
But now these three levels are all beneficial to the cultivation of Dou Zong, so it's impossible for these two old men not to be tempted.
However, if this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before Xiao Lin's mere Dou Qi cultivation surpasses that of the Qian Bai Er Lao.
Although this breakthrough in cultivation was somewhat unexpected, the result still made Xiao Lin very happy.
"I'll get some sleep first, and then I'll start cultivating in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower tomorrow!"
The mental exhaustion ultimately outweighed the joy brought by Xiao Lin's breakthrough in Dou Qi cultivation.
Since awakening his Past-Life Wisdom, Xiao Lin had been using cultivation to replace sleep.
But this time, he truly went straight to bed and fell asleep as soon as he got back to his bedroom.
Yes, Xiao Lin slept quite peacefully.
He finally woke up after a full day and night.
"Crunch"
After stretching his joints, Xiao Lin immediately felt refreshed!
"It's been so long since I've had such a pure night's sleep."
After washing up, Xiao Lin sighed.
After Xiao Lin awakened his Past-Life Wisdom, he felt a sense of urgency every day. Naturally, he gave up ordinary sleep and replaced it with cultivation.
Because the last time Xiao Lin fell asleep, it was already night.
A day and a night have passed, and now when I wake up, it's still night!
However, for Xiao Lin, there was no difference between morning and evening.
No, in fact, due to the special nature of the Star Codex he cultivates, his cultivation speed is even faster on nights when the Astral Power is more concentrated!
"Time to cultivate! Let me experience the dual cultivation buffs brought by the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower and the Third-Level Spirit-Gathering Formation!"
After whispering something, Xiao Lin left his detached Pavilion and headed towards the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Since it was already night, there were naturally few people on the street.
Normally, Jia Nan Academy has a curfew for its students.
However, when the patrol members in the academy saw the person walking on the road wearing a moon-white Elder's robe, they all tactfully nodded slightly to Xiao Lin and left.
And so, Xiao Lin swaggered into the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower and headed straight for the bottom floor.
When the Dou Emperor Elder guarding the tower saw that the visitor was Xiao Lin, he simply nodded to him without any obstruction or attempt to collect his Fire Energy, and let him in.
This is one of the promises that First Elder Su Qian made to Xiao Lin!
As long as Xiao Lin can set up Spirit-Gathering Formation for the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, then all his future cultivation within it will be free!
This is good news for Xiao Lin.
After all, entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for cultivation requires a considerable amount of Fire Energy.
Fire Energy was essentially a form of currency issued by the Jia Nan Academy.
You can obtain these by completing various tasks assigned by the academy.
Of course, students of the Jia Nan Academy can also obtain Fire Energy by challenging the Strong Ranking and relying on their ranking on the Strong Ranking.
As for the teachers and Elders of the Jia Nan Academy, they receive a fixed salary in the form of Fire Energy.
They can also obtain Fire Energy when they take students out on missions.
Besides being used for cultivation in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, this Fire Energy can also be exchanged for various precious Cultivation Method, Dou Technique, herbs, weapons, and so on within the academy.
It can be said that Fire Energy is a necessity for everyone in the Jia Nan Academy!
Xiao Lin can now enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate without using Fire Energy, which is sure to make many people envious.
However, given Xiao Lin's contributions to the Jia Nan Academy, they would at most be envious, not jealous.
After all, they couldn't do everything Xiao Lin had done for the academy!
They wouldn't even be a dog Formation Master, but often, they need Formation Masters.
This is why Xiao Lin Linpu achieved such a high status as soon as Jia Nan Academy.
Soon after entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Lin went straight to the ninth floor!
Although the seventh level was enough for him to cultivate, he didn't need to consume Fire Energy to cultivate in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
That's just being willful!
