Su Qian: Is That Polite?

When it comes to understanding and controlling the Soul Power, among all the people Qin Yu knows, no one can compare to this Venerable Yao who was once famous Central Plains.

Moreover, Yao Chen is currently in the Inner Academy, making him easy to find.

Then the remaining question becomes clear:

What will you use to exchange it for?

Qin Yu glanced down at the bamboo slip in his hand and immediately had an idea.

Doesn't he happen to have a scroll in his hand— the Earth Demon Old Ghost's improved version of the Flame Manipulation Formula?

Qin Yu possessed the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Volcanic Rock Flame, so he didn't need to use this method of condensing flames by borrowing Beast Flames.

It's just gathering dust in my Storage Ring anyway, might as well take it out and make a trade.

And most importantly, Xiao Yan possesses the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.

With the characteristics of the Flame Manipulation Formula, if Xiao Yan can combine the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame with his own Beast Flames, he will surely be able to condense a purer and more powerful "Life Creation Flame".

This was undoubtedly a great help to his cultivation path.

A mid- Earth Tier Mid-Rank Dou Technique that could even aid Xiao Yan's cultivation—in exchange for a guidance session, what reason did Yao Chen have to refuse such a deal?

Qin Yu put the bamboo slips into his Storage Ring and stood up.

In the center of the warehouse, Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian had finished gathering the items they had chosen and were standing by the shelves, talking quietly to each other.

"Have you finished choosing?"

Xiao Yi Xian nodded:

"That's about it. We can have the academy staff come and move the rest later."

Qin Yu scanned the warehouse to make sure nothing was missing, then headed towards the door.

He paused for a moment as he passed through the passageway.

The snake that Zi Yan had been tossing around like a toy for half a day was now completely lifeless, lying limply on the ground.

But Zi Yan didn't seem to have had enough fun yet, and poked the snake's body with her finger again.

"... It's dead."

"I know, does dying mean I can't play anymore?"

Zi Yan raised her head and replied confidently.

Qin Yu sighed, squatted down, cut open the snake's head, and took out the Fifth-Tier Magic Core inside.

Fifth-Tier Magic Core, though not exactly rare to him now, might as well take it.

By the time the group left the Treasure Cave, it was completely dark.

The night sky over the Black-Corner Region was as gray as ever, even the starlight seemed somewhat murky.

But in the distance, towards the Demon Flame Valley Headquarters, there were still scattered flames burning, the embers of the battle not yet completely extinguished.

And those poor guys from Hu Gan, who work overtime, have to stay here and watch over things until Su Qian brings people back to get the stuff.

The wealth of Demon Flame Valley could not be completely moved by the few Storage Ring they held.

The news of the destruction of Demon Flame Valley and the death of the Earth Demon Old Ghost spread like wildfire throughout the entire Black-Corner Region in just a few days.

The Black-Corner Region is neither too large nor too small; it is a complex web of various factions, each with its own informants and intelligence networks.

The Earth Demon Old Ghost has been a well-known name in the Black-Corner Region for decades, and Demon Flame Valley is also an old-established force that has entrenched itself in the region.

The fact that a power could be uprooted in a single day is enough to make any faction uneasy.

On the very first day after the news spread, at least three factions in the Black-Corner Region announced that they would close their doors to visitors.

Two other gangs that were fighting over territory ceased hostilities overnight and tacitly withdrew to their respective territories.

It wasn't for any other reason than that they were all conducting self-examinations to see what grudges they had against the Jia Nan Academy over the years.

Demon Flame Valley has been destroyed, who will be next?

Those hyenas who had failed to take advantage of the chaos that day spread the news far and wide, embellishing it with exaggerated claims, with Qin Yu being the central figure.

Some say that Qin Yu is a mysterious powerhouse from Central Plains, who has already reached the Peak Dou Zong at a young age.

Yes, no one knows who it was when they started passing it down that the Peak Dou Emperor was mistakenly passed down as the Peak Dou Zong, and later people didn't care and just kept passing it down.

Some say Qin Yu is a secret weapon cultivated by the Jia Nan Academy, specifically designed to eliminate unruly forces in the Black-Corner Region.

Some people say that Qin Yu single-handedly fought against the entire Demon Flame Valley, and the Earth Demon Old Ghost didn't even have a chance to fight back before being beaten to death.

The rumors became increasingly outrageous, and by the time they reached the ears of certain people with ulterior motives, they had become a version completely unrecognizable from the original.

Feng City.

When news of the destruction of Demon Flame Valley arrived, Han Feng was in his mansion reading through a scroll of medicinal prescriptions.

He put down the scroll in his hand, took the intelligence handed to him by his subordinate, and lingered on it for a moment.

"The Earth Demon Old Ghost... is he really dead?"

"Yes, according to our people, Jia Nan Academy has dispatched several Dou Emperor- level elders, as well as several unknown Dou Huang expert, to besiege Demon Flame Valley. Even the Grand Elder Su Qian has been mobilized."

"But the one who truly killed the Earth Demon Old Ghost was a young man named Qin Yu."

Han Feng raised an eyebrow, narrowed his eyes, and muttered the name Qin Yu under his breath.

"According to our intelligence, Qin Yu not only possesses a secret technique that can greatly enhance one's strength, but he is also proficient in Formation, and in addition..."

"Speak your mind."

Han Feng gave him a look, and his subordinate quickly added:

"Our people at the scene discovered traces that appear to be Heavenly Flames. Whether it is true or not, we need Your Medicine Emperor to verify it personally."

Han Feng sat up straight instantly, a glint of longing flashing in his eyes.

Heavenly Flames.

Who doesn't know how attractive the Heavenly Flames are to Han Feng?

Since obtaining that incomplete scroll of the Flame Mantra, he has only successfully devoured one type of Sea Heart Flame.

Other Heavenly Flames were either missing or possessed by powerful individuals, and he never found a suitable opportunity to strike.

And now, a young man with a Heavenly Flames appeared in his sight.

But Han Feng wasn't stupid.

Qin Yu's ability to kill the Earth Demon Old Ghost, even with the assistance of Formation and elders from the Jia Nan Academy, is enough to demonstrate that his strength far exceeds his apparent Dou Huang Realm.

What's more, Jia Nan Academy is backing them.

To seize the Heavenly Flames from such a person...

The name of the Hall of Souls instantly flashed into Han Feng's mind.

But those guys were just as interested in the Heavenly Flames as anyone else, and they were ruthless and didn't care about the consequences of their actions.

If the Hall of Souls is brought in, it's hard to say whether the Heavenly Flames will ultimately fall into our hands.

Tsk.

Why does it feel like plotting to Fallen Heart Flame?

Someone like Qin Yu would never waste too long at the Jia Nan Academy.

Once he leaves, won't Jia Nan Academy still just be a bunch of cats and kittens?

If there's no one in the Black-Corner Region who can deal with Qin Yu, surely there's someone who can deal with Su Qian?

Su Qian: Are you being polite?

"... I'll go take a look there first."

After thinking for a moment, Han Feng decided to go to the scene first to confirm whether Qin Yu really had Heavenly Flames.

If it really exists...

We'll talk about that later.

Meanwhile, Inner Academy the Jia Nan Academy.

After returning to his residence, Qin Yu rested briefly for one night. The next morning, he went out alone and came to a relatively quiet courtyard.

This is also a student dormitory, but the people living here aren't just ordinary students.

"Huh? You are...?"

Just as Qin Yu was about to step inside, a somewhat familiar-looking girl came out of the dormitory.

"Hu Jia, right? Please call Xiao Yan."

Qin Yu remembered the last time he saw Hu Jia was several years ago, when he went to Hu Gan to ask for something.

"No need, Brother Qin Yu, I'm here."
