Ziyan's Evaluation

"Sigh, this little girl never keeps her word."

Su Qian's eyes flickered slightly, and finally she sighed helplessly.

If any other student had stolen herbs from the Inner Academy's medicine storehouse, he would probably have been dealt with according to the academy's rules long ago.

However, Ziyan's special status, he always treated this little girl like his own daughter and was very tolerant of her.

"I wonder what kind of magical beast this girl is in her true form, given how much she can eat..."

Su Qian frowned, pondered for a moment, and, still without success, spoke in a low voice.

"The academy's Alchemy Department cannot run out of medicinal herbs; some high-grade herbs must be stockpiled."

"Alright, Elder Wang, offer a high Fire Energy for rare medicinal herbs from the students who enter the mountain. I'll collect some myself when I go into the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and you and a few elders from the Inner Academy will go to the Black-Corner Region to gather more."

Upon hearing Su Qian's arrangement, the elder surnamed Wang nodded, but did not leave, his expression still somewhat hesitant.

"Elder, if Ziyan's problem isn't resolved, even if we collect a lot of medicinal herbs, it probably won't be enough for this girl to eat."

He wasn't quite sure of Ziyan's exact identity, only that the Grand Elder favored her greatly. If it weren't for that, no one could freely access the Inner Academy's medicinal herb warehouse.

Su Qian shook her head and stood up from her chair.

"I'll reinforce the spatial barrier for storing the high-grade medicinal herbs this time. As for the remaining ordinary herbs, if this little girl likes them, then let her eat them."

"It's just a matter of the Inner Academy collecting more; it's not much trouble."

After a slight pause, Su Qian stroked the wisp of beard on his chin and replied.

Yan didn't particularly like eating raw medicinal herbs; he needed the energy inside. He knew that the little girl always wanted to grow up and transform into human form, but due to her constitution, no matter how many medicinal herbs she ate, her growth was minimal.

According to his estimation, Ziyan would probably need to consume some higher-grade rare and precious herbs to quickly achieve a breakthrough.

However, such high-grade medicinal materials are rare. Even if there are a few, they must be kept as reserves for high-grade pills and cannot be squandered by Ziyan.

"Yes, Elder."

Elder Wang clasped his hands in response, then turned and left.

"First came Ziyan, and now Nalan Chenfeng. This is the first time in the academy's many history that we've had so many geniuses."

"If the dean knew, he would surely praise it highly..."

The following day, the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Nalan Chenfeng descended through the black hole in the tower, and the temperature in the air rose significantly with each level he descended.

Between the Fifth Floor and Sixth Floor, a faint red energy barrier can be seen, with flickering flames on it.

Seeing this, Nalan Chenfeng waved the Crimson Fire Crystal Card in front of the red barrier, and the barrier immediately cracked open, revealing a passage.

"As expected of the Sixth Floor, the Fallen Heart Flame clones here are much stronger..."

Nalan Chenfeng stepped into the Sixth Floor, a glint of light flashing in his dark eyes.

The temperature on this floor was twice as high as on the Fifth Floor, and the intense heat in the air made one's throat feel dry.

"Call..."

After letting out a soft breath, Nalan Chenfeng looked around and saw that only a few of the cultivation room doors had red-glowing crystals, indicating that someone was cultivating inside.

"I'm lucky today, I don't have to fight with anyone."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly and walked slowly along the corridor towards an empty advanced training room not far away.

The Sixth Floor is much smaller than the Fifth Floor, but the number of advanced training rooms remains the same.

Those who can reach the level of Six-Star Dou Ling or above are already quite rare in the Inner Academy.

Most of those at the Seven-Star Dou Ling or above will enter the Seventh Floor or above for cultivation, rather than all Six-Star Dou Ling staying in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower indefinitely.

The Heart Fire of the Fallen Heart Flame, although it can temper Dou Qi and purify the soul, is ultimately still a flame, and it is not lacking in the violent power of flames.

Therefore, staying in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for too long will leave a certain degree of Fire Poison in the body.

This kind of Fire Poison is difficult to cure and neutralize on one's own, except for those with water or ice attributes. Especially for those with fire attributes, it is true that they have gained the most benefits from the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, but they are also the most susceptible to the corrosive effects of Fire Poison.

Fortunately, he cultivated a Mid Earth Tier technique, and his Dou Qi was of high quality, which allowed him to resist a certain degree of Fire Poison.

"Um..."

Just as Nalan Chenfeng was walking towards the cultivation room, he suddenly stopped.

A ghostly white figure darted in from the fifth floor of the Qi Refining Tower, moving with incredible speed, and arrived before him in the blink of an eye.

Nalan Chenfeng's internal Dou Qi spirit surged reflexively, and waves of Dou Qi spirit erupted from his feet, causing him to retreat several steps.

"Um?"

Nalan Chenfeng looked over, and when he saw who it was, he was stunned for a moment.

Standing before him was a little girl. She looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and only reached his chest. Her long, light purple hair reached her waist and shimmered faintly in the Zhu Huo.

The girl wore a snow-white dress, revealing a slender leg beneath the hem. Her face was delicate and petite, and her large, dark eyes were incredibly bright and expressive.

At this moment, the little girl in white stood with her hands behind her back, her dark, bright eyes constantly darting around, scrutinizing Nalan Chenfeng.

"Crimson Blood Golden Lingzhi..."

Nalan Chenfeng's gaze fell on what the little girl was holding in her hand: a crimson lingzhi mushroom with golden patterns on its surface, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

Crimson Blood Golden Lingzhi.

This is the main ingredient for refining a Fifth-grade Pill, the Crimson Blood Pill. Its energy is extremely abundant and violent; if an ordinary Dou Ling were to consume it directly, it would explode and die.

This expensive medicinal herb was being held in the little girl's hand like a snack, with her little mouth occasionally nibbling on it. It would be hard to believe unless you saw it with your own eyes.

"Ziyan..."

In just a moment, Nalan Chenfeng guessed the identity of the little girl in front of him.

In the Jia Nan Academy, there is no one else who could have such an appearance and easily enter the Sixth Floor of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower except for Ziyan, the strongest Brute Force King ranked first on the Strong Ranking.

"You're that Nalan Chenfeng?"

Ziyan's big, dark eyes swept over Nalan Chenfeng, and her rosy lips pouted slightly.

"It's not as amazing as Old Man Su made it out to be."

"Old Man Su?"

Nalan Chenfeng was slightly taken aback, but then he realized what was happening.

Within the Inner Academy, no one but Ziyan would dare to address Great Elder Su Qian, a powerful Dou Zong expert, in such a manner.

"Then what did Great Elder Su Qian say to you about me?"

Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly and asked with interest.

"Old Man Su said a genius has come to the Inner Academy, but you don't seem special at all, too ordinary. That old man is lying again."

Ziyan pouted, took a bite of the Crimson Blood Essence Lingzhi, and chewed it with a crunching sound.

"Generally..."

Nalan Chenfeng's lips twitched.

This kind of evaluation isn't pleasant to hear.

However, given Ziyan's strength at the Dou Wang level, it's not surprising that she would speak like that.
