"Do you want to follow me from now on?" Su Yun asked after wiping Zi Yan's face clean.
"Hmph! What a joke! Don't think that just because your cooking tastes better, I'll listen to you! Warcraft will never be slaves!"
After Zi Yan finished speaking, he saw Su Yun wave his hand, and another batch of high-grade medicinal herbs floated out of his Storage Ring. They were then burned by the Green Wood Spirit Flame, and after Su Yun added some ingredients, they turned into lollipops just like the ones she had eaten earlier.
"Sigh, at most I'll be your follower, and besides, I need to eat this stuff all the time!"
"Okay, you eat first. Remember to take a shower after you finish. I prefer a clean and tidy follower."
Su Yun gently rubbed Zi Yan's head, and Zi Yan didn't seem to mind at all; she was busy eating.
"You little glutton, aren't you?" Su Qian said with a laugh as she watched Zi Yan eat.
Su Qian didn't care about magical beasts, but Zi Yan appeared as a human cub, and happened to be quite cute. In addition, although Zi Yan screamed fiercely, Su Qian could tell that she had never eaten a human. Therefore, Su Qian took her to the academy to raise her properly.
"What are this child's parents doing? They just abandoned such a young child in the wild. The fact that she can speak at the fifth rank certainly has the help of the Transformation Grass, but it also shows that her bloodline must be quite strong."
At first, Su Qian found Zi Yan's eating adorable, but as Zi Yan ate more and more, she began to feel sorry for Zi Yan.
This little child looks like a starving ghost reincarnated; how long has it been since she last ate?
"That irresponsible guy, leaving such a young child to fend for himself in the wild. I really want the headmaster to teach him a lesson."
Su Qian muttered to himself. He didn't say that he would teach Zi Yan's father a lesson. After all, the bloodline of a magical beast that could give birth to someone like Zi Yan must be quite high. According to Su Qian's estimation, it was highly likely to be an Eighth-Rank Magical Beast.
Although Su Qian was dissatisfied with Zi Yan's father, he was well aware of his own limitations. Therefore, he figured that only the dean of the academy could handle the matter of disciplining Zi Yan's father, as he himself was incapable of doing so.
"By the way, what brings you here? Don't tell me you came because you sensed Zi Yan."
Su Yun shook his head. "Elder, I came here to borrow the academy's Heart Flame Body Tempering and advance to the Dou Wang realm."
"Using the Heart Flame Body Tempering and advance to the Dou Wang level?"
Su Qian shook her head. "No, Jia Nan Academy Jia Nan Academy has its own rules, and even I cannot easily shake those rules."
"Elder, rules are meant to be broken."
"If I have a way to resolve the Fallen Heart Flame's persistent rage, do the rules of the Jia Nan Academy still matter?"
"What did you say!"
Excitement flashed in Su Qian's eyes.
"You say you have a way to solve the problem of the Fallen Heart Flame at the Jia Nan Academy? No, how do you know Jia Nan Academy has the Fallen Heart Flame? Who told you that?"
Su Yun shook his head. "Nobody told me, Elder. You seem to have forgotten that I'm an alchemist, and how could an alchemist, especially a high-level one, possibly know anything about Heavenly Flames?"
"Especially the Fallen Heart Flame, which is quite unique even on the Heavenly Flame Ranking Heavenly Flames, it would be strange if I didn't know about it."
"That barrier might fool others, but could it fool a Sixth-Grade Alchemist?"
Su Qian remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Indeed, Sixth-Grade Alchemist is qualified to know specific information about Heavenly Flames."
"You say you can resolve the Fallen Heart Flame Riot at the Jia Nan Academy? What methods will you use? I need to find out."
"Don't blame me for being paranoid, but Heavenly Flames, especially the Fallen Heart Flame, are something that too many people want, especially alchemists."
"The foundation of the Jia Nan Academy is not its Jia Nan Academy Jia Nan Academy, nor our powerful members, but the Fallen Heart Flame. When it comes to the Fallen Heart Flame, I must be cautious."
"I understand. No one would easily let others come into contact with something like the Fallen Heart Flame, especially an alchemist."
"So how do you plan to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame's rampage? That thing isn't easy to handle."
"Elder, do you know about the Child Flame of Heavenly Flames?"
Su Qian nodded. "I know. The dean once mentioned to me that when Heavenly Flames matures and develops sufficient intelligence, it can create a Child Flame that carries its own origin."
" Child Flame is a weakened version of the original Heavenly Flames, but as long as resources are sufficient, Child Flame can gradually grow into a true Heavenly Flames over time."
"However, few Heavenly Flames possess sentience, and even if they did, unless they were Heavenly Flames, they wouldn't do something like releasing their essence and energy, causing themselves to suffer losses."
Speaking of this, Su Qian suddenly seemed to remember something when Su Yun mentioned Child Flame.
"You don't happen to have a way to make the Heavenly Flames go berserk and spew out some of its primordial Child Flame, do you?"
" The Child Flame is fine. The Child Flame of the Fallen Heart Flame also possesses the characteristics of the Fallen Heart Flame. Moreover, since it is a newly separated Child Flame, it does not possess any intelligence. If it were nurtured by my Jia Nan Academy, that Child Flame might have the potential to become another Fallen Heart Flame."
"The dean had also considered this method, but he didn't have any means to control the Fallen Heart Flame, so the matter had to be left unresolved."
"If you can really make that Fallen Heart Flame go berserk and spew out its Child Flame, you can even take the Fallen Heart Flame that Jia Nan Academy originally owned. After all, Jia Nan Academy has long been fed up with that Fallen Heart Flame that often goes berserk."
"As long as the Child Flame isn't too strong and will soon go out, and has the ability to be cultivated into a true Fallen Heart Flame, if you need Fallen Heart Flame, I can even arrange to give you Fallen Heart Flame that has already emitted a Child Flame. In addition, Jia Nan Academy will owe you an extra favor. But how can you do that?"
"You don't need to worry about this, Elder. I have my own methods. At the earliest, when I reach the Dou Wang, or at the latest, when I reach the Dou Emperor, I can not only make the Fallen Heart Flame Fallen Heart Flame out a Child Flame, but I can even make the Child Flame it spews out approach the strength of the nascent Fallen Heart Flame."
"Juvenile pericarditis!" Su Qian's pupils Fallen Heart Flame!
Given the current state of the Fallen Heart Flame, which is capable of going berserk, its essence is sufficient to create a Child Flame comparable in strength to the nascent Fallen Heart Flame. However, the level of control required to achieve that would go far beyond simply rendering the Fallen Heart Flame Fallen Heart Flame.
Are you really sure?
"Elder, please believe me, and also..."
Su Yun's gaze turned towards the direction of the Fallen Heart Flame in the Inner Academy. "Judging by the extent of the Fallen Heart Flame's rampage, you probably won't have any other choice soon either."
The Grand Elder remained silent for a moment.
"Sure, but when you touch the Fallen Heart Flame, not only will I be there, but the other elders will be too. Don't blame me, the Fallen Heart Flame is of utmost importance, and we absolutely cannot allow it to be refined by anyone at will."
"Make a deal."
