Chapter 225 Receiving Another Strange Flame
Unlike the fire lotus that had formed in the blink of an eye, this time Xiao Yan's fighting spirit and soul power surged into the three-colored fire lotus like a tidal wave, as if polishing a rare gem, continuously applying power to it.
The lotus platform, originally the size of a palm, gradually shrank under his control, eventually shrinking to the thickness of a thumb.
In the end, the entire fire lotus transformed into a crystal-clear tricolor bead, its surface gleaming with a warm luster, resembling at first glance a meticulously crafted tricolor elixir.
Only the old doctor, whose soul power had reached the Heavenly Realm, could see through the terror beneath that beautiful pattern.
"You actually compressed the Buddha's Wrath Lotus to this extent?" Yao Lao strode forward, staring at the three-colored bead before him with astonishment in his eyes. "It actually contains half of your soul power?"
It should be noted that Xiao Yan's soul power is now comparable to that of a Heavenly Realm expert, and in terms of soul strength alone, he is even stronger than an ordinary Nine-Turn Dou Zun.
Half of the soul's power—that's no small amount.
That's almost equivalent to a ninth-level Dou Zun risking their life to self-destruct their soul!
This kind of fire lotus seed is extremely unstable and its power is ridiculously great. Looking at the entire Dou Qi Continent, only a genius like Xiao Yan, who has mastered the Burning Technique and whose soul power has reached the Heavenly Realm, can perfectly refine it.
The three-colored fire lotus he had casually condensed before could seriously injure even a Dou Zun expert if they touched it, and now the power of this fire lotus seed has increased several times over.
The seemingly harmless little bead, once it explodes, will reduce even a peak-level Nine-Turn Battle Venerable to ashes, and even a Half-Saint will be severely injured.
In comparison, that Buddha's wrathful lotus just now really looked like a child's firecracker.
But Xiao Yan himself knew the price of the Fire Lotus Seed.
Although he was already at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zong realm and his Burning Technique was at the high-level Earth rank, his Dou Qi was completely depleted after condensing this Fire Lotus Seed.
More importantly, it consumed nearly half of the soul power. To say that this Fire Lotus Seed was "close to the self-destruction of a half-saint" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
An hour later, after his fighting spirit and soul power had barely recovered, Xiao Yan flicked his wrist, and the fighting spirit, soul power, and three strange flames of the Burning Technique surged again, and another identical fire lotus seed appeared in his palm.
The two beads floated in the air, their energies drawing together, yet they were firmly locked in place by his soul power, without the slightest disturbance. Even the surrounding air trembled rhythmically, as if echoing the terrifying power within.
However, Xiao Yan's soul power was almost completely exhausted at this point.
Xiao Yan raised his hand and put the Fire Lotus Seed into his storage ring.
"Teacher, although the Soul Palace has Dou Sheng level experts, the ordinary Three-Colored Buddha's Fury Lotus is no match for them. But if these fire lotus seeds can be multiplied a few more times, even if I face a Dou Sheng, I will have a better chance of winning."
That sounds incredibly arrogant.
It's important to know that a Dou Sheng is a figure standing at the very top of the pyramid in the Dou Qi Continent.
Among the eight ancient races, the Battle Saint is one of the few top-tier combatants.
A Dou Zun can become an elder and hold the power to make decisions for a clan, while a powerful clan like the Medicine Clan may not have more than ten Dou Sheng.
The Dou Sheng, who is unattainable in the eyes of others, becomes a target that Xiao Yan can kill even if he is above his level.
But the old doctor didn't think he was exaggerating. He knew all too well the power of the fire lotus seed.
Hundreds of fire lotus seeds rained down like raindrops, just like hundreds of ninth-level Dou Zun self-destructing at the same time. Such power would make even a Dou Sheng's scalp tingle and his liver and gall bladder shatter.
But the old apothecary frowned, his tone tinged with worry: "Little Yanzi, your idea is good, but you've overlooked two things."
He paused, then pointed to Xiao Yan's storage ring. "First, these fire lotus seeds are condensed using your soul power, so they can only exist for a maximum of three days. Second, condensing just one seed consumes most of your power, and recovery takes time. How many can you condense in three days?"
At this point, Yao Lao sighed softly: "It's unrealistic to defeat a Dou Sheng with the Fire Lotus Seed. Even if you have the Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus, you can only defeat a Half-Saint at most. A Dou Sheng expert can easily block your Fire Lotus Seed with a casual strike."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan traced the edge of his storage ring with his fingertips, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he looked up at the old doctor, his tone becoming more resolute: "Teacher is right, it seems I have no choice but to resort to a last resort."
A month later, the Black Corner Region was in complete chaos.
This upheaval stemmed from two major events that were enough to overturn the格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of the Black Corner region.
The first thing was the fall of Medicine King Han Feng. A month ago, the Medicine King, who could make Dou Huang bow down and Dou Zong give face, along with his Feng City, where he had been rooted for many years, was completely destroyed.
When the news spread, the powerful figures in the Black Corner Region who relied on ruthlessness to establish themselves were in an uproar. No one could understand who had such great ability to dare to touch Han Feng.
But the second thing was even more shocking than Han Feng's death.
A mysterious, peak-level Dou Zun expert dressed in black robes actually "bought" the Fallen Heart Flame from Canaan Academy!
What is Fallen Heartflame?
That is the foundation of Canaan Academy! This strange fire can generate heart fire, constantly burning the fighting energy in the body, keeping the disciples in a highly efficient cultivation state, several times faster than ordinary cultivation.
It is precisely because of the Fallen Heart Flame, coupled with its unique teaching model, that Canaan Academy has been able to maintain its position among the top academies on the Dou Qi Continent.
Surprisingly, not a single disciple or elder of Canaan Academy was saddened.
What followed was what truly shocked the Black Corner Region's experts; otherwise, they would have been happy to see Canaan Academy's Strange Flame forcibly acquired.
The reason was simply because the price offered by that mysterious expert was far too outrageous.
Two hundred Douling Pills, sixty Huangji Pills, twenty Pozong Pills, and even two Rank 8 pills that can increase the chance of breaking through to Douzun by 30%.
This isn't "buying," it's practically throwing elixirs at people!
Moreover, the mysterious person left behind a secondary flame of the Fallen Heart Flame. Although it was not as powerful as the original flame, it was enough for the academy's disciples to use for daily cultivation, which meant that the foundation of Canaan Academy was not severed.
With the dean absent and the academy's strongest members, the two elders, only at the peak of the Dou Zong realm, unable to stop the mysterious powerhouse, what reason did the academy's higher-ups have to refuse such a condition?
The news sent the entire Black Corner Region into a frenzy.
Many Dou Huang and Dou Zong powerhouses even wanted to form an alliance to get a share of Canaan Academy's profits, almost to the point of destroying Canaan Academy.
But when they arrived, they found that the elders of Canaan Academy had all broken through to new heights.
With that batch of pills, many elders who were stuck at their bottlenecks directly advanced to the next level, and their strength increased dramatically.
Seeing this, the powerful figures with ill intentions withdrew, and the riot finally subsided.
The instigator of this riot was none other than Xiao Yan.
Although the pills he took out were amazing, they cost him no money at all.
He had just killed Elder Mu Gu, and together with Han Feng, both of them were alchemists with astonishing wealth.
One is an eighth-grade alchemist, and the other is a peak sixth-grade alchemist.
The combined wealth of these two individuals, which they themselves were reluctant to use, was enough for Xiao Yan to buy the Strange Flame.
