Chapter 195: Senior Management Discussion, Fire Plan
In the inner courtyard, an elegant courtyard.
"Mm, good tea!" Su Qian sipped the tea in the cup with enjoyment, then looked at Lin Yuan and asked, "Lin Yuan, I see that your cultivation has reached the peak of Dou Huang, and your aura is also extremely condensed. When are you going to retreat and break through to Dou Zong?"
Lin Yuan heard this and pondered for a moment, then gently brushed his fingers across the rim of the jade teacup. "There is no rush for this matter. I will go into seclusion after I finish the things at hand."
"The matter at hand?" Su Qian's face became more serious. "Are you referring to the matter of the old demon?"
Lin Yuan nodded, then shook his head and said calmly: "The Devil Flame Valley and the Earth Demon Old Ghost are just one of them. More importantly, I plan to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame. I hope the Great Elder can allow it."
"Fallen Heart Flame...what do you mean?" Su Qian looked at Lin Yuan puzzledly.
“Haha!” Lin Yuan chuckled and said, “Before I explain, why don’t you take a look at this, Great Elder? What is this?”
As he spoke, he stretched out a finger, and invisible flames flew out from his body, dancing nimbly on his fingertips, and a magical wave spread out.
"Fallen Heart Flame? When did you take it out?" Su Qian was suddenly shocked, but as the person who suppressed the Fallen Heart Flame, he immediately reacted, "No, it's not this. Although the essence is the same, this flame is much weaker than the one in the tower."
Lin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Great Elder, you have a good eye. This is indeed not the real body of the Fallen Heart Flame, but the Fallen Heart Flame sub-fire that I personally created."
Afterwards, Lin Yuan told Su Qian the whole process of creating the Fallen Heart Flame.
“So that’s how it is!” Su Qian took a breath and looked at Lin Yuan in amazement. “Using strange fire to graft strange fire, using soul secrets to gather spirits, and using energy to condense into shape. You can come up with such a method, and the key is that you let you do it. You really surprise me!”
After calming down, Su Qian asked, "So, what do you mean by 'dealing with the Fallen Heart Flame'?"
Lin Yuan took the young fire back into his body and said seriously, "My students think that the Fallen Heart Flame is a violent fire after all, and it is too dangerous to raise its mature form. The Great Elder also knows that it has been accumulating strength and waiting for the moment to explode."
Su Qian nodded and looked at Lin Yuan seriously: "So, your plan is..."
Lin Yuan straightened his expression and said frankly: "I plan to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame's main body, and then use the Heart Flame's fire to maintain the operation of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower. In this way, I can not only maintain the operation of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, but also completely solve the problem of the Fallen Heart Flame's outbreak."
After a pause, Lin Yuan added: "In addition, as far as I know, some people in the outside world already know about the existence of strange fire in the academy."
"However, if we use the seed fire of the strange fire to operate the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, even if it is really exposed, it will be less coveted by the outside world. After all, under normal circumstances, the value of the seed fire is much lower than that of the main body of the strange fire."
Su Qian thought for a while, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and he murmured, "So that's how it is! This method does sound quite beneficial."
No one cares more about the problem of the Fallen Heart Flame than he does. Canaan College, including him, has spent a lot of manpower and material resources on this. If the problem of the Fallen Heart Flame outbreak can be completely solved while maintaining the work of the Qi Training Tower, then...
"Lin Yuan, to be honest, I am very tempted by your proposal. However, this matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by you and me alone. We need to discuss this matter together. Come with me to see the guardian immediately." Su Qian took a deep breath and said decisively.
Lin Yuan nodded, informed the little medical fairy who was tidying the room, and then followed Su Qian to fly away.
-
after an hour.
Library!
Three years later, Lin Yuan followed Su Qian and once again set foot in the most mysterious place of Canaan College.
When the two arrived, Hu Qian was already waiting.
After the three of them exchanged a few words, Hu Qian looked puzzled and asked, "Grand Elder, what's the big deal that has led to this urgent meeting?"
"It's something important!" Su Qian nodded, looked at the plaque of the library, and said calmly: "Second Elder, don't hide. Everyone here is one of us, there's no need to put on airs."
"Haha, Su Qian, you are becoming more and more impolite."
As soon as the words fell, a burst of vigorous laughter echoed in the air, and then the space slightly distorted, and two old men in gray robes appeared strangely in front of the three people.
"We are all family. If you really talk in a pretentious way, won't you get tired?" Su Qian rolled his eyes and gestured to the two elders at Lin Yuan. "He is Lin Yuan, the candidate I chose for the next great elder. Do you two elders have any objections?"
He then looked at Lin Yuan and introduced them, "These two are Elder Bai and Elder Qian, the former great elders of Canaan College. Now they are retired and enjoying a peaceful life."
After saying that, he turned sideways and motioned Lin Yuan to come forward.
Lin Yuan took a step forward, bowed, and said, "I am Lin Yuan, your student, and I am honored to meet you two elders."
Mr. Bai and Mr. Qian waved their hands, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.
Afterwards, the two looked at Lin Yuan, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Bai Lieqi asked, "You are the kid who used the Life Devouring Pill three years ago. Now you have cultivated to the peak of Dou Huang? Moreover, this aura is not far from Dou Zong. It's incredible!"
After that, he looked at Qianmu, "I think it's very suitable for this little guy to be the next great elder. Old man Qian, what about you?"
Qianmu nodded and said seriously, "I feel the same way." Then he continued, "However, Su Qian, you called everyone here to discuss this matter today, it shouldn't be for this matter, right?"
Su Qian nodded and said in a deep voice: "Confirming this matter is just a side note, and the real thing to talk about is the matter of the Fallen Heart Flame, Lin Yuan..."
Lin Yuan understood what he meant and waved his hand lightly. The heart fire in his body leaped out and floated in front of everyone.
The two elders looked at Su Qian with their eyes narrowed. "Is this the Fallen Heart Flame? How did you get it out? No, it's not this one. It's much weaker than that one. Su Qian, what's going on?"
Catching a flash of surprise from the two, Su Qian smiled faintly and explained: "This is the Fallen Heart Flame, the details are as follows..."
So, Su Qian and Lin Yuan told everyone everything, including the origin of the sub-fire and the idea of using the sub-fire to replace the real Fallen Heart Flame to operate the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.
After the two finished their stories, the scene fell into silence.
After a while, Bai Lie's eyes swept across the Fallen Heart Flame's fire and fell on Lin Yuan, asking: "How effective is this fire in assisting cultivation? Is it really enough to replace the Fallen Heart Flame?"
"If it is used to maintain the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, it will be more than enough!"
Lin Yuan nodded confidently and said in a deep voice: "Although the Fallen Heart Flame's main body is powerful, it is not under our control, so we naturally cannot make the most of it. However, my seed fire can be regarded as a controlled spiritual fire seed, which is enough to replace it."
"Is there a spiritual fire?" Several people looked at Lin Yuan in confusion.
Lin Yuan nodded slightly and explained: "With spiritual fire seeds, you can generate and replenish flames with the help of external forces, like this..."
As he spoke, Lin Yuan used his fighting spirit to empower the Heart Flame Sub-Fire, and with Lin Yuan's support, the Sub-Fire instantly surged.
"In short, my Heart Flame Elemental Fire is an energy converter that can convert Fire Dou Qi and Fire Elemental Energy into Heart Flame. Therefore, as long as Fire Dou Qi or Fire Elemental Energy is supplied to the Elemental Fire, it can continuously produce Heart Flame."
"During this transformation process, the sub-fire will be nurtured, and its essence and power can be further enhanced."
"I see!" Bai Lao touched his chin and nodded. "If that's the case, I agree. The Fire Gathering Pot will come in handy. How about you, old man Qian?"
Qianmu nodded and looked at Lin Yuan meaningfully. "If it's really as Lin Yuan said, why not give it a try? Letting the Fallen Heart Flame accumulate energy and attacking the seal every day is not a long-term solution. Since there is a way, it's time to deal with it."
"But, Lin, you just said you wanted to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame! But don't you already have a different fire? Why do you still want to subdue a different fire?"
Qianmu asked a blind spot, and everyone's eyes turned to Lin Yuan.
"Because of this! I only have two years left." Lin Yuan opened his robe, revealing the devil poison spot on his chest. "In order to refine this poison spot and resolve the life-threatening situation, I need to subdue another strange fire."
Hearing this, several people's eyes fell on the dark poisonous spot surrounded by runes.
Suddenly, Qianmu's eyes showed a hint of solemnity. He looked at Bailie, and then they both stretched out a finger at the same time. At the fingertips, an extremely strong fighting spirit surged out, and as it surged, it condensed into a half-inch long energy crystal.
Qianmu used the energy crystal to explore for a while before dispersing the energy crystal in his hand.
"What a strong poison!" Qianmu slowly retracted his fingers and said with emotion, "This poison energy is probably condensed by a six-star Dou Zong with his life-long Dou Qi? Only a Dou Zun can detoxify it..."
Hearing this, Su Qian's face suddenly darkened, "Lin Yuan, who did it?"
"Don't be angry, Great Elder. I have already resolved the matter!" Lin Yuan closed his clothes and said calmly, "This Dou Zong-level demon poison spot can only be solved by Dou Zun expending his Dou Qi, or I can only master another kind of strange fire to refine it myself."
"It's hard to find a Dou Zun strongman, and it's even harder to find one who is willing to spend his Dou Qi to detoxify me. After all, the dean hasn't been back for many years..."
When Mang Tian Chi was mentioned, several people suddenly fell into silence.
"That old guy is always like this. He's not here at the critical moment." Bai Lie sighed and said seriously, "Using strange fire to refine the poison spots is also a method. If you can refine the poison spots, it can also make your strength soar. But..."
“Let’s not talk about how to control the two kinds of strange fire. Even if I have the two kinds of strange fire, based on my perception, it should not be enough to refine this poison spot, unless…”
"Haha!" Lin Yuan smiled and continued, "Unless there is another kind of strange fire? Everyone, please look at what this is?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the mighty soul power intertwined with the azure flames, rushing out from the soul ring, gathering into a flame-wreathed entity, standing side by side with Lin Yuan. Instantly, a hot and cool atmosphere spread.
Looking at its face that was exactly the same as Lin Yuan's, and sensing its majestic aura, everyone was amazed.
Su Qian's eyes moved between Lin Yuan and Xue Hun, wondering, "Another strange fire? And a four-star Dou Zong expert? This..."
Lin Yuan patted the Blood Soul beside him and explained, "Don't worry, Great Elder. This is a special soul clone I created - the Blood Soul Clone, which is completely controlled by my mind. And this flame is the Sea Heart Flame, which ranks 15th on the Strange Fire List."
"Sea Heart Flame, the strange fire that Han Feng subdued." Su Qian stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Han Feng's disappearance more than a year ago was indeed related to you."
"Great Elder guessed it?" Lin Yuan looked at Su Qian in surprise and said frankly, "I did it. That guy wanted to rob my strange fire, but I killed him. Thanks to him, I completed the idea of controlling two kinds of strange fire..."
As if to confirm his own words, Blood Soul said: "For example, this."
As soon as he finished speaking, it turned into pure soul power and flowed towards Lin Yuan. A blue flame mark ignited between Lin Yuan's eyebrows. His aura also soared to a four-star Dou Zong at this moment. He stretched out his hands, and the Sea Heart Flame and the Blue Lotus Earth Heart Fire rose in his palms at the same time.
"This way, I can manipulate multiple types of strange fire at the same time."
Hu Qian looked at Lin Yuan with admiration and said with emotion: "Lin boy, no wonder you said before that you were sure to deal with the old demon. With this method, it is indeed possible."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and the huge soul power and sea heart flame returned to the soul ring. He said modestly: "It's just some small tricks, not worth mentioning."
The two elders looked at each other and nodded. Bai Lie said, "In this case, we both agree to the proposal to use the seed fire to replace the Fallen Heart Flame. If you need our assistance during the operation, please let us know."
"I agree with this as well." Hu Qian said.
"If it can solve the problem that has plagued the inner courtyard for a long time, I naturally agree." Su Qian let out a long breath and said seriously.
Immediately, the four of them looked at Lin Yuan at the same time, and Su Qian announced: "Although the head of the Alchemy Department, Old Man Huo, is not here, there are already four people who agree. This matter is approved. Lin Yuan, give me a detailed plan later."
"If the plan succeeds and the final effect is as you said, then the Fallen Heart Flame will be at your disposal as a reward for this operation."
When Lin Yuan heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Great Elder!"
Hearing this, Su Qian waved his hand and said with emotion: "If you can really solve the problem of the Fallen Heart Flame impacting the seal while maintaining the effect of the Sky Burning Refining Qi Tower, this old man and the many people guarding the seal will thank you very much."
As he spoke, as if certain memories were evoked, Su Qian looked angrily at the two elders, Qian Bai.
"As soon as I took over as the Great Elder, you all became hands-off managers, enjoying your leisure time in seclusion. As for me, I didn't even dare to practice in seclusion for a period of time, for fear that the Fallen Heart Flame would break through the seal and destroy the inner courtyard during my seclusion."
"I am also worried that the news of the Fallen Heart Flame will leak out, and that scoundrels will take advantage of the opportunity to seize it by force."
"In order to guard against these things, I haven't had much time to practice in recent years, and my progress in strength is terrible."
At the end of his words, there was a strong resentment in Su Qian's words.
Hearing Su Qian's accusation, the two elders Qian and Bai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. They had indeed lived a very comfortable life over the years without worrying about anything.
With a dry cough, Qianmu said, "Isn't this how all great elders get through? You just have to work hard first, and you can relax a little after you step down. Besides, the turning point has come, and as long as the plan succeeds this time, you will be much more relaxed in the future."
Su Qian waved his hands and said helplessly: "I hope it can be done. Guarding the Fallen Heart Flame is really too exhausting."
Lin Yuan, who was standing aside, looked at the people who had reached an agreement, and a smile appeared on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In this way, he had gained the support of everyone and removed all obstacles to conquering the Fallen Heart Flame.
"My goal has been achieved. I have the chance to subdue Xin Yan. It's worth all my preparations."
He has been preparing for today's conversation for a long time.
The Fallen Heart Flame is the foundation of the Inner Court system. Without sufficient reasons and preparations, even if he is the next Great Elder, he has no right to take it for himself. Even proposing this idea is not an easy thing.
After all, for Yu Linyuan, Canaan College is a place he can call home, and he cannot use any means recklessly.
Lin Yuan couldn't tell anyone about the Fallen Heart Flame larvae, it was something he couldn't explain. He could only create various reasons and conditions to convince everyone to give him a chance to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame.
The strange fire, the method of making poison pills, the deadly magic poison spots, and the method of controlling various strange fires, these are all part of convincing everyone.
After so much preparation, this time he successfully gained everyone's support. Next, as long as he could solve the problem of the Fallen Heart Flame, Lin Yuan would be able to enter the magma sea to look for the Skyfire Venerable and the young Fallen Heart Flame.
Afterwards, everyone discussed for a while and reached a final decision on the matter. This entire plan was called the "Fire Replacement Plan."
