"Dingdang! Dingdang!" A crisp sound broke through the sky, like an ancient bell, announcing that the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower was opened again.
The sound echoed slowly and spread throughout the college, instantly breaking the tranquility of the square.
As if he heard the horn of charge, the disciples of Canaan Academy who had been waiting in the square were instantly boiling.
A blazing light flashed in their eyes, which was the desire for power and the yearning for breakthrough.
These disciples were dressed in different clothes but uniformly embroidered with the academy logo, and the corners of their clothes were clamoring in the wind.
"Hurry, don't be too late! I must stay in it for a while this time. I have done a lot of tasks and have accumulated a lot of fire energy." A burly disciple shouted, pushing forward with all his might.
"Hmph, you're just worried. Who doesn't think so!" A strong disciple next to him was not willing to be outdone. His steps accelerated and quickly approached the tower gate.
Everyone flocked toward the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower like a tide, for fear that if they move slowly, they would miss this rare opportunity to practice. For a moment, the square was bustling with footsteps and shouts intertwined.
For example, the fallen heart flame in the Burning Qi Refining Tower today is no longer the one that Xiao Lingshang sealed when he was a student in the inner courtyard of Canaan College. It is Xiao Ling's juvenile body falling heart inflammation obtained from the Venerable Tianhuo.
Under the careful care of the elders of Canaan Academy, this once tender fallen heartburn has grown vigorously and its strength cannot be underestimated. It has established a deep bond with Canaan Academy and has become the guardian fire spirit of the inner courtyard.
Unlike the previously sealed fallen heartburn, this freshman fallen heartburn is very friendly to the students of Canaan Academy. Not only does it not resist releasing fire energy, it is also extremely willing to provide the heart fire to the students for their practice.
Thanks to this change, the students' cultivation progress and efficiency in the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower have been greatly improved, making a qualitative leap compared to the past.
Such excellent effects have also attracted more students from the academy and are eager to practice in the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower. In front of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, it is becoming more and more lively, full of students' expectations and excitement.
However, over the years have passed, and under the influence of various factors, Canaan Academy has now ushered in rapid development, which is no longer the same as before.
Countless genius disciples, with their yearning for the peak of martial arts, actively joined the embrace of Canaan Academy.
Today, the number of students in the inner courtyard has increased exponentially, which is simply incomparable to Xiao Ling and others when they were still in the college.
Such a vigorous development trend has also led to a difficult problem. As the academy's cultivation holy place, the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower consumed countless rare materials and the hard work of top-notch people at the beginning of its construction. It has a profound foundation and a wide space.
However, as time goes by, the number of students in the inner college has been increasing rapidly. The huge base makes this once spacious Tianfen Qi Refining Tower difficult to bear the cultivation needs of so many students.
There are too many monks and less porridge, and the originally spacious cultivation location has become in short supply.
Whenever the Qi Refining Tower is opened, this situation becomes more and more prominent.
The students' eyes were filled with a fiery desire for power, and they swarmed in desperately. That scene was simply crowded.
Their eager appearance seemed to miss this precious opportunity for cultivation if they took a step back.
The limited cultivation space seems extremely scarce in the face of a huge student base. With more monks and less porridge, the competition is getting increasingly fierce.
In order to seize the cultivation area of that area, the students used their own means and refused to give in to each other. Under the fierce competition, conflicts are inevitable, and occasionally there will be fights with fists and feet.
The elders of the inner court looked at this crowded and noisy scene every day, feeling helpless, but also feeling relieved.
The inner courtyard is like a small society, cruel and real, and everything must be fought for with its own strength.
At Canaan Academy, struggle was never banned. After all, moderate competition is the source of progress.
The unwritten rule in the college is that as long as the battle is not too out of order and does not cause irreparable serious injuries, there will be no excessive interference.
The elders are always paying attention to the students' movements. With them on the side, there will be no serious accidents.
Moreover, most of these students have a clear idea and know how to grasp the right position so that while tempering themselves, they will not let the conflict get out of control.
However, as the competition becomes increasingly fierce, the college knows that the expansion of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower is imminent and it is time to put it on the agenda.
Of course, rebuilding the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower is not an easy task, nor is it a small project that can be implemented immediately with just one's hands. This is a massive and far-reaching measure that must be carefully considered and repeatedly weighed.
As a training holy place for Canaan Academy, the reconstruction of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower involves many complex factors.
From the preparation of rare materials, to the invitation of top craftsmen, to the formulation of design plans, every link is crucial and there is no need to be negligent.
Without years of careful preparation, it is difficult to meet the conditions for starting the reconstruction project, whether it is manpower, material resources or financial resources, so naturally there is no need to rush to worry about this aspect at this moment.
...
"This scene is much more lively than when I was a student in the inner courtyard. Look at the other side, there are still people competing, they are really energetic."
In a corner of the square around the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Ling looked at the bustling scene in front of him, raised his lips slightly, and sighed softly.
"After all, the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower only has so much practice. In recent years, the number of students in the inner academy has increased a lot. Even if we increase the control of fire energy, it is still inevitable that there will be a shortage of supply. In order to improve our cultivation, these little guys naturally have to compete more fiercely."
On the side, Elder Su Qian gently stroked his beard, his eyes full of relief, and he smiled at the lively situation in front of him.
Zi Yan stood quietly by holding Xiao Ling's hand, without inserting Xiao Ling and Su Qian's chat from time to time.
She looked at the lively scenes around her with interest, especially attentive to the scenes of the students' discussions.
Such a lively scene could arouse some interest for Zi Yan, which made her find a lot of fun.
After a few more conversations, Xiao Ling, Zi Yan and Su Qian stopped staying there for a long time.
Xiao Ling waved his cuffs gently, and the powerful power of space instantly spread out from his body. In the blink of an eye, a dazzling silver light flashed.
In an instant, the three people's figures dissipated like light smoke and hid in the void. The square still continues the lively and vibrant scene before, as if nothing had happened.
...
The bottom of the tower of Tianfen Qi Refining Tower in the inner courtyard is quiet and deep, filled with strands of burning air, making the air look extremely dry.
Suddenly, a strange ripples appeared in the void, as if a stone was thrown into the calm lake, and layers of waves spread around.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling's upright figure first appeared in the ripples, and Su Qian and Zi Yan followed closely behind and emerged.
On the side, the elder who was on duty at the bottom of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower keenly noticed the abnormal movement.
He turned his head suddenly, his eyes instantly locked in the ripples that spread out in the void.
When the ripples gradually dissipated, Xiao Ling and the other two clearly appeared. After seeing clearly that the person coming was Xiao Ling and others, the elder hurriedly turned around, tidied up his robes, bowed respectfully to the three of them, and his movements were full of respect.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling and Su Qian both looked kind and nodded in return, while Zi Yan did not move at all, but just held Xiao Ling's hand and looked around from time to time.
Seeing that he had arrived at the destination mentioned by Xiao Ling before, at the bottom of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, Zi Yan was full of curiosity and could not control her confusion. She asked simply:
"By the way, Xiao Ling, you said you wanted to bring me to the bottom of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower. What was going on? What was the mystery that I said before was so mysterious, and I specially rushed back from Zhongzhou."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Su Qian, who was standing by, also looked curious when he heard this. When Xiao Ling mentioned that he was coming to the bottom of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, although he had many questions in his mind, he thought that since Xiao Ling was so serious, there must be a reason, so he did not ask too much, but just came to accompany him and escort him.
"Haha, this is a secret. To be honest, I am not sure about the specific situation now. It's just some guesses in my mind."
Xiao Ling chuckled, without responding positively, but cleverly changed the subject.
Xiao Ling naturally had a proper plan for the purpose of this trip.
This time, I came here to take Zi Yan to see his old father, the patriarch of the previous generation of Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and the old dragon emperor Zhukun, whose strength has reached the peak of the contemporary Douqi Continent.
However, Xiao Ling knew in his heart that he naturally could not tell this matter directly at the moment.
Not to mention that there are many secrets involved in this, it is not something that Xiao Ling can know now. Just talking about this sudden news, I am afraid that it will be impossible to explain clearly for a while.
If unnecessary misunderstandings arise or disrupt the original plan, it will be troublesome.
Seeing that Xiao Ling was holding her back again, Zi Yan couldn't help but pout, but she still didn't continue to ask.
She knew in her heart that Xiao Lingruo really had something to do, as long as she could say it, she would definitely not hide it from her.
After all, they have a deep friendship and trust each other. If they know the details, Xiao Ling will definitely tell her without reservation.
At this moment, Xiao Ling was so vague, Zi Yan was more inclined to think that perhaps Xiao Ling was not very clear about what was hidden under the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower. He just made some discoveries by chance, so he wanted to come over and find out.
"Okay, Grand Elder, you don't have to continue sending us. Next we can go forward." Then, Xiao Ling looked up, nodded slightly to Su Qian, and said with a gentle smile on his face.
"When I went down, I met some flame lizard men while in and out. They should not be underestimated. The power of the flame is quite extraordinary. And the deeper they go, the stronger their strength will be. You must be more cautious."
Su Qian did not mean to dissuade him. After all, with Xiao Ling's current strength, he could no longer easily dissuade him. He just gave a solemn advice out of concern.
Xiao Ling just smiled and nodded to Su Qian's advice, but he was quite calm in his heart. After all, he knows much more about the situation below than Su Qian. Moreover, this is not the first time he has entered this underground magma world. He has long been familiar with everything there and does not feel too unfamiliar.
Soon, Su Qian used his means to open the channel from the bottom of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower to the underground magma world.
In the passage, there was a dark and deep as if it could swallow everything, and there was a faint blazing breath coming to my face. Seeing this, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan's hand without hesitation, then jumped and went straight towards the passage.
In the blink of an eye, the figures of the two men were like two rays of light and shadows, quickly sank into the endless dark hole, and soon disappeared without a trace, leaving only the slightly waving air at the entrance of the passage, as if there were still traces of their departure.
...
The hot and hot magma was like a pot of boiling water burned by the fire, and was constantly bubbling with air.
The bubbles burst one after another, making a slight sound, as if the magma was venting its fiery power.
The air around could not bear the scorching of the magma and began to become distorted. Wherever you see, the scenery seemed to be covered with an illusory gauze.
Everything was under this high temperature, showing a unique and strange appearance that seemed like a dream.
Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at the red magma, her brows frowned slightly, her small mouth pouted, and she stuck out her tongue, her face full of displeasure with the hot environment.
She turned to look at Xiao Ling, with doubts and a little reluctant in her eyes, and asked:
"This place looks so hot. What good things can there be? Xiao Ling, we won't work hard to get this trip and end up returning in vain, right?"
"Don't worry, I dare to guarantee that there must be good things hidden in the depths of the underground magma. Otherwise, the Heavenly Fire Master would not have fallen into trouble here, and I would not have had the chance to take her away. I picked up such a 'cheap'." Xiao Ling chuckled and responded patiently.
As he said that, he immediately circulated the fighting spirit in his body and released the cold fire of the bone spirit containing extremely cold and hot.
The bone spirit cold fire spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a crystal clear flame light curtain formed, covering himself and Zi Yan steadily.
Thanks to the unique ice-fire compatibility of Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the scorching and hot magma outside, which seemed to melt everything, was instantly isolated from the outside, and no trace of heat could penetrate.
However, this flame light curtain is still in a very cool state, which is completely different from the hot environment outside.
Zi Yan's originally frowning gradually unfolded, and the discomfort on her face also diminished a lot. She closed her eyes slightly, felt the rare coolness, and muttered, "Well, this is much more comfortable."
Xiao Ling just smiled faintly at this and didn't say anything more. After this little episode, the two of them no longer delayed and tacitly accelerated their speed towards the depths of the magma. (This chapter ends)
