Thoughts on Heavenly Flames

Ziyan's large, dark eyes were fixed on the Crimson Blood Golden Lingzhi that Nalan Chenfeng was holding in his right hand, her delicate face filled with disbelief.

"How did it suddenly end up in your hands!"

Ziyan's eyes widened, a chill running down her spine.

She hadn't seen how Nalan Chenfeng made his move at all, and hadn't even sensed a trace of his Dou Qi. Just moments ago, this person was clearly five steps away from her, and weaker than her.

"Give it back to me!"

Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out to grab it.

Nalan Chenfeng did not dodge the offer, but instead handed the Crimson Blood Golden Lingzhi back.

"For you."

Ziyan snatched the elixir, examined it carefully, and after confirming that she wasn't seeing things, she looked up, her large, dark eyes filled with curiosity.

"What kind of Dou Technique is that? How did you do that?"

Without her noticing at all, the medicinal herbs in her hand suddenly disappeared—something even Old Man Su couldn't have done.

As for Nalan Chenfeng, he is only Dou Ling, so the only possibility is that he has some special Dou Technique.

"This is a secret; I can't just tell you."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled but offered no explanation.

"Little girl, remember what you said."

As he spoke, Nalan Chenfeng paused.

"The top-ranked student on the Inner Academy's Strong Ranking shouldn't be someone who goes back on their word, right?"

Faced with Nalan Chenfeng's provocative words, Ziyan pursed her rosy lips, puffed out her cheeks slightly, frowned, and clenched her left fist, looking quite angry.

"Snort!"

In the end, Ziyan didn't make a move. She just snorted coldly, stuffed the Crimson Blood Golden Lingzhi in her hand into her mouth, took a big bite, and mumbled indistinctly.

"I keep my word."

She wasn't one to go back on her word, but she had a feeling she'd been tricked by this scoundrel.

But what methods did this guy use?

If I could learn this skill from this guy, I could just steal the medicinal herbs guarded by the magical beasts in the Inner Academy's herb storehouse and the Magical Beast Mountain Range at will...

For a moment, Ziyan was lost in wonderful daydreams.

"Just do the math."

While Ziyan was lost in thought, Nalan Chenfeng nodded without saying anything more and turned to walk towards the empty cultivation room at the end of the corridor.

"Hey, don't go..."

Seeing Nalan Chenfeng leave, Ziyan hurriedly followed behind, her voice soft and charming, looking at Nalan Chenfeng with longing eyes.

If it were anyone else, she would definitely snatch those two medicinal herbs and eat them, but she would rather learn Nalan Chenfeng's methods.

That way, she can steal medicinal herbs without anyone noticing; it's kind of funny to think about.

"Alright, here are these two medicinal herbs for you, consider it payment. You're in charge of looking after the Wind Pavilion outside."

Nalan Chenfeng raised his hand and, with exquisite control of his Dou Qi, handed the two jade boxes from his Storage Ring to Ziyan.

Ziyan has entered the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate, but she probably won't stay for long; this little girl is not a patient person.

With Ziyan overseeing the newly built Wind Pavilion, and given his current reputation within the Inner Academy, it's unlikely that any foolish person would dare to provoke this emerging force.

"No problem, Nalan Chenfeng, tell me what kind of Dou Technique that was just now?"

Ziyan nodded, her large, dark, and lively eyes still full of curiosity, and continued to ask.

"I told you this is a secret, something you can't tell outsiders, so please don't ask."

Nalan Chenfeng casually remarked, walked to the door of the cultivation room, inserted the Crimson Fire Crystal Card, and pushed the door open to enter.

The stone door slowly closed behind them, shutting out Ziyan's puffed-up little face.

"This little girl isn't so easy to fool..."

Nalan Chenfeng leaned against the stone door and let out a soft breath.

He just used his special ability to Time Stop, which Ziyan definitely didn't notice. Considering it's related to Dou Technique, this is quite normal.

However, his ability is not Dou Technique at all, and it is impossible for him to explain it clearly to Ziyan.

"We still need to improve our strength as soon as possible. If this little girl gets angry and tries to attack us, we'll be in big trouble."

A thought flashed through Nalan Chenfeng's mind, but his eyes hardened.

He could only use his ability to Time Stop once a day, and as his strength increased, he could sense that this was related to the intensity of his soul power.

In the Dou Qi Continent and even the Great Thousand World, controlling time is far more difficult than controlling space, and his use of this special ability will not cause his soul power to be depleted or weakened, so there is no overall impact.

However, if it is used again now, no matter how hard we try, it will be in vain.

Therefore, if Ziyan were to make a move, he, currently only at the Dou Ling, would be no match for her.

Ziyan's strength is Cheng Yue that of Cheng Yue, a Nine-Star Dou Ling.

The Ancient Void Dragon is a magical beast whose physical strength far surpasses that of humans, whose defensive capabilities are astonishing, and who is born with the power of space, making it a bug-like existence.

With his current strength, without using his special ability to Time Stop, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a few punches from Ziyan.

"Only after I cultivate to the level of Dou Wang and find a way to become Alchemist will I be able to get this little girl to obey me."

Ziyan dislikes eating unpalatable medicinal herbs; she only needs energy, and only Alchemist can meet Ziyan needs and truly establish a good relationship with her.

For him, after becoming Dou Wang, he could seek an opportunity to replenish his wood attribute and become Alchemist.

The Dou Qi Continent is not lacking in natural treasures that can be transformed into wood-attribute materials, but these things are not easy to encounter. However, he knew a place where they could be easily obtained.

The Green Lotus Core Flame of the Tagor Desert in the Jia Ma Empire, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, is born from the lava of the earth's core, but it is formed by absorbing the power of heaven and earth, taking the shape of a lotus, and possessing a trace of wood attribute.

If he can refine it, then he might be able to develop a trace of wood attribute and become Alchemist.

For someone like him, who is purely of the fire element, the Life Spirit Flame is the best choice if he wants to become Alchemist.

However, this Heavenly Flames, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, is in the hands of a Six-Star Dou Saint powerhouse. For him, a Dou Wang, to want to obtain it now is a pipe dream.

Regardless of the circumstances, he must obtain this Green Lotus Core Flame.

To knowingly turn down an opportunity that would benefit oneself is utterly foolish.

His grandfather was afflicted with Scorch Poison, and his condition was deteriorating. Only Heavenly Flames could cure it, so he couldn't just sit and wait for several years to rely on Xiao Yan.

Furthermore, his sister and Xiao Yan will make Three-Year Agreement in the future, and this agreement cannot be broken.

Nalan Yanran's decision to annul the engagement was not entirely appropriate, but regardless, she is still my sister. It is enough to make her realize her mistake; there is no need for her to be someone's slave.

If Nalan Yanran fails, it will be him who loses face.

Therefore, if the Green Lotus Core Flame is taken away, Xiao Yan's cultivation progress will be greatly reduced. Even with Yao Chen's secret support, it will be difficult for him to catch up quickly by the Three-Year Agreement.

As for how the future Hun Tiandi will face the situation without Xiao Yan, it's simple: as long as he hides a piece of Tou She Ancient God Jade, he will have enough time to cultivate.

With the Time Stop, this Nine-Star Dou Saint possesses the power to instantly kill those of the same cultivation level.

Furthermore, the destruction of the Ancient Seven Clans by the Hun Tiandi had absolutely nothing to do with him.

The Soul Clan is no good, and the other ancient races aren't much better either; he's not even from an ancient race.

"Cultivate..."
