Discussion Concluded
The next day, Lin Qing found Su Qian early in the morning, and the two sat facing each other on the sofa.
"Excellent tea!"
Su Qian took a sip of the tea brewed by Lin Qing and couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
"Haha, Great Elder, if you like it, you can come back for more after you finish drinking it!"
Lin Qing chuckled.
"Hehe, Elder Lin, I wouldn't dare ask you for anything. Every time you come to me or the other elders of the academy, it's usually because you have something to say, let alone bringing gifts. So, what is it this time?" Su Qian couldn't help but sigh.
Although Lin Qing always had other matters to attend to when she contacted him or other elders of the academy, she would still reciprocate, which could be considered a form of social interaction.
Moreover, he knew Lin Qing's character well; he always repaid kindness and would agree to anything unless it was particularly unreasonable.
Lin Qing immediately stated his plan, and upon hearing it, Su Qian stood up from the sofa.
"What?! You want to change the engine?!"
Lin Qing didn't answer. She pursed her lips, flipped her hand, and a blazing, invisible flame appeared in the room.
Su Qian glanced at it, and a moment later, when he felt the Heart Flame suddenly rising within his body, his expression instantly froze. With his current strength, the only thing that could mobilize the Heart Flame within him was the Fallen Heart Flame!
"This, this is?!" Su Qian's face remained stiff for a moment, then, as if remembering something, an incredulous shock instantly surged in her eyes as she stared blankly at Lin Qing.
"This is the Fallen Heart Flame that my teacher gave me. Compared to the one in the academy, it may be a little less old and less powerful, but it has the advantage of not having sentience, so I want to use it to exchange for the academy's Heavenly Flames!"
After glancing at the Fallen Heart Flame in Lin Qing's hand, Su Qian remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking:
"If that's the case, then why don't you refine the one you have in your hand?"
"Of course, the energy contained in this Heavenly Flames is insufficient to support my breakthrough, and ordinary cultivation can no longer allow me to advance quickly. If I want to cultivate rapidly, I need to borrow some rare treasures of heaven and earth that contain energy!"
Lin Qing explained.
"Okay, when are you planning to switch?" Su Qian's tone softened.
Hearing Su Qian's softened tone, Lin Qing knew that the matter could be resolved.
Lin Qing smiled slightly, "Of course, the sooner the better. I remember the academy has special containers that can store Heart Flame for a long time. You can give this Heavenly Flames to the academy first."
"Looks like you've been eyeing this Heavenly Flames in the academy for quite some time now!" Su Qian gave Lin Qing a meaningful look.
Lin Qing chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head, "Isn't this a win-win situation? Besides, that Heavenly Flames in the academy is always causing trouble, so it's better to replace it with a more obedient one!"
Although he sacrificed one Heavenly Flames and gained two, also managed to collect the soul of a Dou Venerable and some Flame Pearls, the academy won once, while he was completely exhausted from the win, hence the term "win-win".
"Alright! Let's do it tomorrow! The academy needs to call all the students out today!"
Su Qian readily agreed. Lin Qing's words made sense; it was a win-win situation! With the academy having resolved the hidden danger of the Fallen Heart Flame, he would have more energy to focus on cultivation.
In the past, he would not have agreed, because he and some elders could only suppress the Fallen Heart Flame with the black tower and formation left by the Headmaster.
Not to mention the people like Han Feng who are eyeing them covetously outside, not to mention activating the formation to lower them down, once the Fallen Heart Flame breaks out of the tower, the entire Inner Academy will be finished.
However, now that a large number of forces in the Black-Corner Region have been wiped out by this little guy, it's unlikely that anyone will dare to challenge Jia Nan Academy in recent years.
Because of Lin Qing, four more elders in the academy have broken through to the Dou Zong, and some other Dou Emperor Dou Wang elders have also increased by one or two stars. Now, they can completely suppress the Fallen Heart Flame.
"Then I'll have to trouble the Great Elder!" Lin Qing smiled slightly.
Su Qian stroked his beard and chuckled, "Alright! But be careful when you go down the tower! After all, that beast's strength is now comparable to Dou Zong! If you're outmatched, come up first, and we elders will help you!"
After saying that, Su Qian took out a red water bottle about the size of a human head.
The importance of the Fallen Heart Flame to the academy is beyond doubt; it can be said to be the foundation of the Inner Academy. Otherwise, he would not have been so determined to protect the Fallen Heart Flame.
If the Fallen Heart Flame disappears, the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower and Fire Energy will become ineffective, and the effect of increasing cultivation speed will gradually weaken or even dissipate. In that case, the Inner Academy will lose its purpose.
Just like before, we can directly set up Earth Grade class or a Heaven Grade class.
They had considered having the academy's elders refine the Fallen Heart Flame before, but the Fallen Heart Flame was the academy's property. If it were refined by an elder, and that elder were killed or kidnapped one day, the loss would be irreparable, and the consequences would be something Jia Nan Academy could not afford.
Besides, it's a public resource and shouldn't be handed over to just anyone.
"This is the Fire Gathering Pot. Let's put this Heavenly Flames inside!"
Su Qian said seriously.
"Good!"
Lin Qing used his soul power to catch the Fire Gathering Pot, and then placed the Fallen Heart Flame into it.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Su Qian held the Fire Gathering Pot in both hands, her eyes brimming with undisguised ecstasy.
"Then I'll be going now!" Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Lin Qing decided not to disturb them any further and left the Great Elder's Office directly!
A short while later, Lin Qing returned to her own Small Courtyard.
Upon seeing Lin Qing return, the two girls Xiao Yi Xian, hurriedly came to greet him, "Young Master (Brother), how did you go?"
"It's solved. We'll go down the tower tomorrow!" Lin Qing patted the two girls' heads and smiled.
"Would you like me to come down with you?" Cailin asked.
"Come down with me! Let's see if we can easily resolve the issue between you and Caidie's souls!" Lin Qing nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, Cailin nodded slightly and smiled, "Alright, I'll go with you!"
On the other side.
After Lin Qing and Su Qian finished discussing the exchange of the Fallen Heart Flame, the academy's elders and instructors quickly sprang into action, summoning all the students located in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
The students in the Inner Academy were affected to varying degrees, and many of them were summoned during their cultivation, which caused some people to wail and howl.
However, due to the compensation from the Fire Energy and the fact that the tower was sealed for a short period of time, it did not cause much of a disturbance.
Elders like Wu Tianlang, who had broken through to the Dou Zong, also gathered in the Inner Academy to activate the grand formation and prevent any accidents.
Faced with the sudden change of power, the elders and instructors in the academy did not feel troubled, but rather happy.
The Headmaster owed Lin Qing some favors, and exchanging the flame for a soulless Fallen Heart Flame would also benefit the academy. In the future, the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower would no longer need to send a tower-guarding elder to each floor, and they could be much more relaxed.
Therefore, the college prepared everything in just one day!
