The Idea of Replacing Flames
"Open the tower!"
As the bell tolled, an aged voice echoed from inside the tower.
Immediately, as the aged voice faded, the tightly closed, pitch-black door creaked open slowly, releasing a faint, intense heat that slightly raised the temperature of the area.
"Go into the tower!"
The aged voice rang out again, and immediately everyone who had been sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed on the open space suddenly opened their eyes and stood up. With a whooshing sound, countless figures shot towards the tower gate.
After most of the students rushed into the Qi Training Pagoda, Lin Qing followed behind a student, lifted his foot, and then disappeared into the darkness behind the gate.
The moment Lin Qing entered the tower, his body stiffened slightly, and a Heavenly Flames suddenly erupted from his body.
This flame was strangely illogical, for no other reason than that it was formless and shapeless.
This is a branch of the Fallen Heart Flame, or more accurately, the Heart Flame.
This Heart Flame can be troublesome, but it's not insurmountable either. As long as one has Heavenly Flames protecting them or can make good use of Heart Flame, it's not a big problem.
Lin Qing smiled slightly. He didn't need to use the Heavenly Flames to protect himself; he had a more efficient way to utilize and solve the problem!
Immediately, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman directly devoured this wisp of Heart Flame, transforming it into a small but pure stream of energy.
It's a pity that this little bit of energy is still too little! It's like a drop of water falling into a lake, not even making a ripple.
"Holy crap, is this person a freshman?! They recovered in less than a minute!"
"They are indeed new faces, probably freshmen..."
"Fellow students, I am the elder!"
Lin Qing turned around and smiled slightly at the students behind him who were discussing, then ignored their surprised expressions and strode into the depths.
Upon entering the Qi Training Pagoda for the first time, he discovered that this ancient black tower exuded a sense of weight and coldness, and also had a suppressive effect on Heavenly Flames.
Although the exposed Qi Training Pagoda is two or three stories high, it is only the tip of the iceberg.
Most of it is buried underground, and the interior is extremely spacious!
The space on the first floor alone is enough for five hundred people to cultivate. In the circular space inside the tower, there are cultivation rooms of different sizes, but at this time, most of these cultivation rooms have already been occupied.
Moreover, above the doors of these rooms, there are small red signs, but the words written on the signs are not all the same.
A glance swept over the top, and it turned out that these small red signs were labeled with terms representing three levels: high-level, intermediate-level, and low-level. Presumably, these were the different levels of the cultivation rooms in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
As Lin Qing slowly walked from east to south, he noticed that all the high-level training rooms seemed to be located near the center of the tower, while the intermediate-level training rooms and the lower-level training rooms were distributed around them.
Lin Qing knew that these training rooms had to be won through one's own strength!
The cost is the same, but the location and cultivation conditions are different. Those with strong strength can obtain the best cultivation conditions, while those with weak strength can only cultivate in the outermost low-level cultivation rooms.
This is probably a way to encourage competition among students! However, this method can lead to some fights!
Moreover, this will create a situation where the strong get stronger and the weak find it difficult to catch up.
Although some people are able to rise to prominence, they are ultimately a minority, and the final result is still the Matthew effect!
Lin Qing pondered to himself.
Walk to the center of the tower.
Staring at the bottomless black hole that appeared before him, Lin Qing slowly stepped forward, came to the edge of the black hole, and cautiously glanced down. The pitch-black darkness stretched all the way to the end of his sight.
The eerie darkness, almost devoid of any light, made him feel slightly dizzy.
This black hole runs through the entire Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. If it weren't for the tower's spire covering it, this pitch-black hole would probably be clearly visible from the sky.
If you carefully sense the air in this pitch-black cave, you can feel that it is much hotter than other places.
That's the Fallen Heart Flame and the magma below providing heat for the entire Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Lin Qing stared into the pitch-black cave, and when he realized that he couldn't see anything no matter what he did, he made up his mind. After a while, a crimson flame surged into his eyes, and his dark eyes turned crimson.
As the crimson flames surged into his eyes, the endless darkness below began to fade in a very strange way.
Under his gaze, in the endless darkness, there floated an invisible, enormous Fire Python, several meters thick, yet its exact length was unknown.
But when the Fire Python's gaze met Lin Qing's, Fire Python quickly darted into the depths of darkness, as if he possessed some great terror.
"Pah! Coward!"
Seeing the Fallen Heart Flame escape, Lin Qing couldn't help but spit inwardly.
However, when he thought about how his own Heavenly Flames had fused with three different Heavenly Flames and the Flame Ancestral Talisman, making it comparable to the top ten Heavenly Flames, it was something that the Fallen Heart Flame could not possibly provoke, and he felt relieved.
'Who would have thought that besides the Fallen Heart Flame below, there was another Fallen Heart Flame, the soul of Dou Venerable, Lizardmen, Zi Yan's father, and the Dou Di Cave Abode!'
After calming himself down slightly, Lin Qing turned his gaze away from the black hole and decided to stop his research. He would have plenty of opportunities to go down there later; now was not the right time.
As Lin Qing wandered around, he reached the tenth floor and discovered that the guard was an elder! Although the two were not familiar with each other, they had met a few times before.
Elder Lin!
Elder Zhang!
Lin Qing nodded slightly, then walked past Elder Zhang and headed towards the elder's private cultivation room.
The Elder's cultivation room was not only in a good location, but also exceptionally exquisite compared to other cultivation rooms.
The room was dimly lit, neither too bright nor too dark.
As you step into the room, a faint chill rises from the stone slabs under your feet, making you feel refreshed.
His gaze swept around the room. The room was not large, about twenty square meters. In the center, there was a large, spacious platform made of black rocks, about two inches above the ground.
After closing the door and inserting the card into the protruding groove, Lin Qing walked to the edge of the black platform, and with a light wave of his hand, the Green Lotus Seat was steadily placed on the platform.
Lin Qing sat cross-legged on the lotus seat, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate his inner Cultivation Technique.
As time passed, only the sound of even breathing remained in the room.
After a long while, Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes and sensed the Dou Qi within his body.
The Dou Qi within him was purer than he had imagined, and the effect of this Heavenly Flames was not as great as he had thought.
"The speed has indeed increased a little, but only a little! Looks like I need to change the fire! That's the only reason I can go down there. Hopefully, the Lizardmen's Dan Bead will be powerful enough!"
