Chapter 164 Fallen Heart Flame
As long as Xiao Ling can successfully obtain the extremely precious Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit for Zi Yan and help her complete the key step of evolving into the Supreme Dragon Phoenix, then it will be easy for Zi Yan to break through to the Douluo level.
In the original novel, Zi Yan, whose cultivation was only at the peak of Dou Zong, took the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and successfully refined the energy in it. Her cultivation level surpassed that of Xiao Yan, who had been cheating all the way, and she directly broke through to the four-star Dou Sheng.
From this, it can be seen how important the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is to Zi Yan.
Once he has enough strength, Xiao Ling will definitely go to the Skeleton Mountain Range early to explore the Fighting Saint ruins, take away the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit, and plunder all the treasures in the ruins.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ling stopped thinking about it. He said hello to Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, then walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the office of Elder Su Qian.
Xiao Ling is already prepared today and is going to have a thorough discussion with Great Elder Su Qian on how to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame.
……
Xiao Ling walked hurriedly and soon arrived at the courtyard of Elder Su Qian.
The courtyard is quaint and peaceful, with green vines climbing all around the walls. In the corners are several pots of carefully trimmed flowers, emitting a faint fragrance.
The vermilion door was closed tightly, and the door knocker was carved with exquisite patterns.
As Xiao Ling approached, the door was opened from the inside and out came Gu Tian, the steward of Elder Su Qian.
When Gu Tian saw Xiao Ling, he hurriedly asked, "Elder Xiao Ling, why are you here today?"
Xiao Ling bowed and said, "Brother Gutian, I have something to discuss with the Great Elder."
Gutian led Xiao Ling into the courtyard. At this time, Elder Su Qian was sitting at the stone table, sipping tea leisurely.
Seeing Xiao Ling, Su Qian put down his teacup and asked with a smile: "Xiao Ling, how come you have time to come to me today? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xiao Ling sat opposite to Great Elder Su Qian, and did not speak directly about the Fallen Heart Flame, but instead talked about Zi Yan's situation.
"Great Elder, Zi Yan has successfully come out of seclusion recently, and her cultivation has broken through the sixth level. However, now she is unable to restore her magical beast body."
Elder Su Qian frowned slightly, seeming a little worried. He asked Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, can you tell what the reason is?"
Xiao Ling shook his head and replied, "According to my observation, I didn't find any problems. It might be because the Transformation Grass that Zi Yan swallowed was of extraordinary quality and was not completely refined, which caused a special phenomenon. There is no need to worry too much."
Elder Su Qian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Xiao Ling's words, nodded slightly, and then said: "That's good, Xiao Ling, Zi Yan was also picked up by me from outside, and I also hope that she can practice smoothly. If you need anything, feel free to come to me."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled slightly, and said straight to the point: "Great Elder, the Fallen Heart Flame seems to be a little restless again recently." Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Su Qian was a little puzzled.
But he thought about it for a while, nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "Yes, I have noticed it in the past few days. Recently, the reaction of the Fallen Heart Flame has become more and more intense. Many students have been infected with more serious fire poison than before, and their bodies have suffered varying degrees of damage."
Xiao Ling did not intend to keep the secret any longer, and continued, "Great Elder, to be honest, I want to devour this Fallen Heart Flame. The technique I practice is special, and I can devour strange fire to improve my cultivation. If I can devour the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame, it won't take long for me to improve my cultivation in a short period of time, and breaking through to the Dou Zong level won't be a difficult task."
Su Qian thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Ling, during your time at Canaan College, you helped the college a lot, refined many elixirs, and added a lot of strength to the college. I naturally trust what I said to you."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with excitement.
Before Xiao Ling could think deeply, Su Qian added, "However, the Fallen Heart Flame was obtained by the dean, and it is the foundation of Canaan College. It is difficult for me to make a decision on my own. You are qualified to select the rest of the items in Canaan College, but I cannot agree to the Fallen Heart Flame directly."
"However, if the Fallen Heart Flame really cannot be controlled, then I will have to ask you to refine it."
Hearing Su Qian's concerns, Xiao Ling could also empathize and expressed his understanding in his heart.
However, the Fallen Heart Flame was something Xiao Ling was determined to obtain, and with the young Fallen Heart Flame in the underground magma world, he could also give an explanation to Canaan College.
Standing up, Xiao Ling said sincerely: "Great Elder, I promise to only refine part of the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame and will not devour its essence."
"Moreover, if I can successfully devour most of the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame, its strength will be reduced and its intelligence will dissipate. This way, it will be easier for Canaan Academy to control. As long as we cultivate it well, the Fallen Heart Flame may become the guardian fire of the academy. Not only will it no longer be a problem, but it will be able to bring more help to the academy."
Su Qian frowned slightly, his eyes were filled with scrutiny, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Xiao Ling, this matter is very serious. Even if you don't devour its essence, the risk is huge if you don't handle it properly. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. If something happens to you, it will be the biggest loss for Canaan Academy."
Xiao Ling keenly noticed the change in Su Qian's attitude and quickly responded, "Don't worry, Great Elder. I am fully confident and will act with caution. I have successfully absorbed two strange fires before, and even Han Feng's Sea Heart Flame has been absorbed by me. I am very confident in controlling fire.
In order to increase the credibility of his words, Xiao Ling stretched out his hands, and in an instant, two balls of strange fire appeared in his hands.
On his left hand, there was a green lotus fire that looked like a blooming green lotus. The green flame was swaying as if it had life, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura. The surrounding air was slightly distorted by its high temperature.
And in his right hand, the Sea Heart Flame appeared a deep blue, like a surging ocean. The flame seemed to contain endless power, and the flashing light was dazzling.
When Elder Su Qian saw the two balls of strange fire, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the doubts in his heart were slightly alleviated.
Xiao Ling looked at Su Qian with a firm gaze and said, "Great Elder, you see, my control over the strange fire is beyond doubt. This time, I will be able to succeed in refining the Fallen Heart Flame without damaging its foundation."
