After receiving the "Heavenly Flame Seal", both Xiao Yixian and Lin Feng looked joyfully at the scroll in their hands.
However, while feeling happy, Lin Feng also couldn't help but silently regret something.
Previously, he had been entirely focused on obtaining the method to refine the Poison Pill and all the items needed for it.
He had completely forgotten that Tian Huo Zun Zhe also had a scroll containing the sealing technique for the Woeful Poison Body.
Fortunately, the old man happened to mention it today—otherwise, who knew how long it would have taken him to remember?
Although Xiao Yixian had already found the Ghostly Poison Flame, and temporarily suppressed the Woeful Poison Body using the Heavenly Flame,
Lin Feng still wasn't sure when he would be able to find a magic core of a Rank 7 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast.
According to the original novel, such a beast did exist near Fallen God Stream in Ye City, Central Plains.
But since he hadn't seen it in person, what if something was off? What if the beast didn't actually reside there?
So, he couldn't pin all his hopes on that.
Handing over this sealing method to Xiao Yixian as a final safety net was definitely a wise choice.
After all, this Heavenly Flame Seal could help extend the suppression for another three years.
That would greatly increase the chances of successfully finding the Rank 7 Scorpion Dragon Beast's core.
Thinking this, Lin Feng turned the scroll over and, considering that Tian Huo Zun Zhe was the original creator of the technique, asked, "Elder Yao, this Heavenly Flame Seal—can I give it to Xiao Yixian?"
Tian Huo Zun Zhe simply waved his hand and replied, "Since I've given it to you, do with it as you please."
Hearing that, a trace of delight flickered in Lin Feng's eyes. He immediately passed the scroll to Xiao Yixian in his arms.
She happily accepted the scroll and began reading it carefully.
In her heart, she shared the same concerns as Lin Feng.
Now that she had this sealing method, even if they failed to find the Rank 7 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast's core before reaching Dou Zun, the Heavenly Flame Seal could at least delay the outbreak for a time.
"Lin Feng! Something terrible happened! Help!"
Just as things had quieted down, a purple streak came flying rapidly from the distance.
While flying, the figure screamed Lin Feng's name at the top of her lungs, drawing the attention of everyone in Spirit Mountain City.
Some Heavenly Treasure Pavilion members who recognized her couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
At that moment, Lin Feng, Xiao Yixian, and the others looked wordlessly toward the petite figure in the sky.
As a Dou Huang, her speed was naturally fast, and in no time, she had arrived at Lin Feng's hall.
Zi Yan's gemstone-like purple eyes scanned the room, ignoring Tian Huo Zun Zhe entirely. She rushed straight up to Lin Feng.
When she saw Xiao Yixian sitting on Lin Feng's lap, she directly yanked her off to the side.
Xiao Yixian, pulled aside, stared coldly at the little rascal, silver teeth clenched, her pretty face radiating hostility.
If Lin Feng weren't here, she would've definitely taught this brat a painful lesson for offending a poison master.
But Zi Yan didn't care what she thought. The petite girl dove straight into Lin Feng's arms and grabbed his collar, shouting:
"Lin Feng! It's awful! That damn Xiao Yan—he actually stole the Heavenly Flame from the Inner Academy while Old Man Su Qian was unconscious! Now the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower is useless!"
Seeing Lin Feng's helpless expression, Zi Yan pouted and pleaded: "Didn't you have a Heavenly Flame just like the one the Inner Academy used? Right now, only you can help Jia Nan Academy!"
"Alright, alright. I already knew about it. I'll help you, okay? Stop shouting."
Looking at the whirlwind of a little girl before him, Lin Feng grabbed her and lifted her into the air, speaking irritably.
In his memory, the Inner Academy had a special container left behind by Mang Tianchi.
As long as the Fallen Heart Flame was poured into it, the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower could still maintain its ability to enhance cultivation speed.
Anyway, as long as his Dou Qi was sufficient, he could use his Origin Flame Seed to continuously generate Fallen Heart Flame without any problem.
Separating some of the Fallen Heart Flame wouldn't be too difficult. Though it would consume a bit of Dou Qi, it was nothing that couldn't be recovered with some rest.
Besides, this was a good chance to do Jia Nan Academy a favor—it might come in handy down the line.
Not to mention, he had leached off the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for quite a while, and had taken the Fallen Heart Flame for himself. Lending a hand now was the least he could do.
"Hehe, Lin Feng, I knew you were a righteous guy! You're the best!"
Hearing his willingness to help, Zi Yan immediately flashed a radiant smile and handed him a verbal "good guy card."
After laughing, she suddenly recalled how urgent the situation was in the Inner Academy and hurriedly dragged him toward the exit of the hall.
At the same time, she turned and said, "The Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower has been down for months now! Let's hurry!"
Seeing Lin Feng leaving, Tian Huo Zun Zhe's ethereal body turned into a stream of gray mist and drifted into the snow-white storage ring on Lin Feng's hand.
"…Alright."
Looking at the anxious little girl, Lin Feng nodded helplessly.
Then he thought about how, after breaking through to Six-Star Dou Huang, his cultivation speed had slowed.
After some hesitation, he decided to cultivate at the base of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower until reaching Seven-Star Dou Huang before returning.
With that thought, he halted his steps and turned to Xiao Yixian, saying, "I might not return for a while. I'll leave Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in your and Sasha's hands for now.
Also, take this—it contains a burst of Heavenly Flame energy that can temporarily boost your strength. When you're in a tight spot, it could tip the scales."
As he spoke, Lin Feng tossed a scroll to Xiao Yixian.
Inside the scroll was the First Change of the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change, along with Lin Feng's personal insights and interpretations engraved using his soul power.
"Don't worry. That old hag and I will manage Heavenly Treasure Pavilion just fine."
Xiao Yixian accepted the scroll without even questioning why Lin Feng was heading back to the Inner Academy. She simply nodded and agreed.
As for the secret technique in the scroll, she had already seen Lin Feng use it several times before, so she was somewhat familiar with it.
"Alright then, let's go!"
Seeing that Lin Feng was finished talking, Zi Yan immediately urged him to move.
"I got it."
Lin Feng replied with a sigh, then followed Zi Yan out of the hall.
The two summoned their Dou Qi Wings, and their figures soared into the sky, darting toward the vast forest in the distance.
Lin Feng had traveled this path countless times before, so it was quite familiar to him.
While flying, he casually glanced at Zi Yan and asked, "So, what's the situation like in the Inner Academy now?"
"Don't even mention it. That old guy Su Qian has been blaming himself every day for trusting the wrong person and letting the Heavenly Flame get stolen.
He feels he's failed the Headmaster's trust and is practically ready to self-destruct in shame. If it weren't for the fact that he needs to take care of Jia Nan Academy, he probably would've gone to Central Plains by now to fight Xiao Yan to the death."
Zi Yan shrugged helplessly. "I warned those old geezers in the Inner Academy beforehand, but I never imagined they'd lower their guard against Xiao Yan under those circumstances."
Lin Feng was a bit confused and asked, "What circumstances?"
Zi Yan explained, "That time, Su Qian got his soul injured by a Hall of Souls Protector. Regular healing pills were useless.
Xiao Yan took the opportunity to step forward, saying he had a sixth-tier pill recipe that could heal soul injuries. He even said that Su Qian got hurt trying to protect him, so he was willing to let the academy's alchemists view the scroll for free and try to refine the pill to treat Su Qian."
"After checking the scroll, the alchemy department's Elder Huo realized it was a high sixth-tier recipe. Even with his peak fifth-tier strength, and teaming up with other alchemists of the same level, he still couldn't refine it. So, after some discussion, they decided to let Xiao Yan refine it himself."
At this point, Zi Yan's tone grew angrier: "Then, Xiao Yan used the excuse that he needed rare soul-related ingredients. He asked the Inner Academy Elders for a token that could bypass the spatial defense array.
Since they were desperate for the pill and what he said sounded reasonable, one of the Elders gave it to him without thinking too much—and that's how his scheme succeeded."
By the end, Zi Yan's tone was filled with frustration and disappointment.
