Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower

As Nalan Chenfeng and Han Yue stepped out of the passage and before they even entered the tower gate, a smiling, aged voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, Nalan Chenfeng saw a simply dressed old man slowly walking towards him and Han Yue. Wherever he passed, the students who were rushing to the tower gate made way for him.

"Greetings, Elder."

Nalan Chenfeng and Han Yue cupped their hands in greeting, almost simultaneously.

"Your reputation was already spreading like wildfire in the Inner Academy yesterday, and seeing you today, it certainly lives up to its name."

"My surname is Liu. From now on, you can just call me Elder Liu."

The simply dressed old man looked at Nalan Chenfeng with admiration, and then introduced himself.

"Elder, you flatter me. I, Chenfeng, am unworthy of such praise."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly and said modestly.

"You two entered the Inner Academy yesterday and came to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower today. You're quite the hassle."

Elder Liu glanced at Han Yue, who was standing next to Nalan Chenfeng, and made a teasing remark.

Every time new students are admitted, it's his busiest time, because if he's not keeping a close eye on things, these greenhorns could easily end up in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

However, not everyone can quickly adapt to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. The initial Heartfire Scorching alone is enough to deter many people.

However, the real reason he came so early was Nalan Chenfeng.

Such a talent has never been encountered since the academy was founded, so it's no wonder that the Grand Elder spoke up personally.

Upon hearing this, Han Yue Yuebing's fair and beautiful face instantly turned red, and she quickly lowered her head.

Nalan Chenfeng didn't think much of it. Everyone knew about his relationship with Han Yue, so there was no need to hide it. He wasn't as shy as Han Yue.

"Elder, when may we enter the tower?"

Nalan Chenfeng cut straight to the point and asked.

"Newcomers entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower may suffer harm due to their unfamiliarity with the Heart Flame, so I'm here today to prevent any accidents from happening to you."

"After entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, only those who pass the test of Heartfire Scorching can enter the tower for cultivation. If one forces their way in, their own life will be in danger."

Elder Liu's expression became much more serious, and his gaze lingered on Nalan Chenfeng and Han Yue.

With Nalan Chenfeng's Dou Ling strength, passing the Heart Fire test shouldn't be a problem. The real headache is Han Yue and the other group of anxious little guys who rushed over.

The Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower is too tempting for these students; there are more than just these two new students here today.

"Chenfeng understands."

"Han Yue understands."

The two responded simultaneously.

"The Fire Crystal Card you possess determine the highest level of cultivation you can reach."

"Nalan Chenfeng, you possess the Crimson Fire Crystal Card, which allows you to enter up to the Seventh Floor of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. However, on your first cultivation session, you must not go too deep and should not exceed the fifth level."

"This is also the Elder's intention; he can't bear to see such a promising talent like you make a mistake due to some unexpected event."

"As for Han Yue, with your current strength, it would be best if you familiarized yourself with the first and second floors for a while."

Elder Liu, with a serious expression, reminded the two of their concerns, while also informing Nalan Chenfeng that it came from the Grand Elder of the Inner Academy.

The Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower in the Inner Academy has strength restrictions on each level.

As the elder guarding the tower, he knew this place all too well.

The Sixth Floor a place that only students with Six-Star Dou Ling or higher can enter. Although Nalan Chenfeng is excellent, he has not reached this level.

"Um."

Nalan Chenfeng responded solemnly.

The Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower is Heart Fire derived from the Fallen Heart Flame, a Heavenly Flames ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. It is used to refine Dou Qi and increase cultivation speed.

The power of the Fallen Heart Flame, even a Child Flame of it, is not to be underestimated; he will not act rashly.

Upon entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for the first time, he will not venture below the Sixth Floor. Even if he were to go, it would only be under the condition that the Heart Fire on the Fifth Floor would have a diminished effect on his cultivation.

The deeper you go, the stronger the effects of the Heart Fire become, and below the tenth level lies the Magma World where the Fallen Heart Flame resides.

Moreover, it is also the location of the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion.

The Grand Elder, fearing he might act impulsively and rashly, specifically sent Elder Liu to remind him. This high regard and goodwill towards him was a good thing.

In this Inner Academy, many things would be truly difficult to handle without Great Elder Su Qian, a powerful Dou Zong expert.

"It's good that you all know what's going on. I heard that this year's new students have brought in quite a few excellent writings, and the Grand Elder is beaming with joy."

"Alright, enough talk. Enter the tower and undergo the test of the Heart Fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Liu slowly turned around, and the large door in front of him immediately opened.

"Um..."

The instant Nalan Chenfeng's feet touched the ground behind the tower gate, his body suddenly turned upside down, and his handsome face instantly turned as red as burning coals.

Moreover, wisps of faint white mist, hissing as they emanated from Nalan Chenfeng's body.

Han Yue, standing next to Nalan Chenfeng, also looked unwell; her once fair and beautiful face was now flushed red.

Compared to when she was with Nalan Chenfeng, this flushed face was clearly not due to Han Yue's shyness, but rather the Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

Wisps of white mist emerged from Han Yue's body in the same manner, causing her entire delicate body to tremble involuntarily.

"The Heartfire Scorching will reveal your potential; it's a test, so I won't intervene until you give up."

Elder Liu looked at Nalan Chenfeng and Han Yue with great interest, a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

Entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for the first time, he wanted to see how long Nalan Chenfeng could last.

"Is your Heartfire Scorching...?"

Nalan Chenfeng remained calm, gazing at the Heavenly Flames that had suddenly appeared from within his body, without showing much fear.

After this invisible flame appeared in his body, the high temperature emanating from it caused stinging pain throughout his body, including his meridians, bones, and muscles.

This was a precursor to burns from the high temperature. He knew that if this continued, it wouldn't be long before injuries appeared in various parts of his body's meridians.

But he wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; the Fallen Heart Flame Heart Fire of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower wasn't that difficult to deal with.

In fact, the existence of this Heart Fire is very beneficial to the cultivation of Dou Qi. It can not only solidify Dou Qi, but is also a kind of tonic.

The way to resist this Heartfire Scorching is simple. He told Han Yue yesterday that it is to temper the Dou Qi in her body and circulate it along the cultivation method.

Once the Dou Qi has been refined, the energy purified by the Heart Fire is absorbed, and thus one training session is considered complete.

This is the cultivation method in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. Although it was his first time here, he knew the key points clearly.

"Fallen Heart Flame, I hope you won't disappoint me..."

Nalan Chenfeng's mind stirred, and immediately, Dou Qi of battle qi surged out from the diamond-shaped Dou Qi Sea Urchin, passing through the meridians in his body, and finally, in a sweeping, encircling manner, surrounded the invisible flame.

In that instant, the high temperature emanating from that cluster of invisible flames was completely isolated.

"The next step is to refine your Dou Qi; your cultivation has only just begun..."
