Chapter 196: Meet Yao Xiao Again, Meet Xun Er for the First Time

After deciding on the "Fire Replacement Plan" together, everyone dispersed, and Lin Yuan and Su Qian also returned to the inner courtyard.

On the way, since Lin Yuan's identity as the next great elder was completely confirmed, Su Qian told Lin Yuan everything that the great elder of the academy should know, including Gu Xun'er's identity and the connection between Canaan Academy and the Thunder Clan.

In short, the establishment of Canaan College was just the personal interest of the dean Mang Tianchi and had no direct connection with the Thunder Clan.

However, after the completion of the academy, perhaps due to Mang Tianchi's status in the Thunder Clan, or the reclusive Thunder Clan still wanted to retain some subtle influence on the Douqi Continent. Although they did not intervene directly, they secretly gave some support to Canaan Academy.

The most outstanding student of Canaan Academy in the past, the genius with special bloodline who broke through to the Dou Zong level before graduation, was actually a member of the Thunder Clan.

The Thunder Clan's endorsement of Canaan College was vague and only circulated among the high-level officials on the continent.

The top forces on the continent will, to a certain extent, regard Canaan College as one of the affiliated forces of the Thunder Clan, and will give it a certain degree of respect and convenience.

The subtle connection with the Thunder Clan is undoubtedly one of the core factors that enables Canaan College to stand tall on the continent and become the number one college on the continent.

Under the moonlight, in Lin Yuan's courtyard.

The noise of the daytime banquet had died down, Zi Yan, who had eaten and drunk her fill, had fallen into a sound sleep, and a hint of pleasant fragrance still lingered in the air.

Lin Yuan sat at the stone table in the yard, looking up at the full moon in the sky, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

At this time, a little medical fairy in a white dress walked out of the house lightly, holding an ancient book in her hand. She slowly came to sit beside Lin Yuan and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

"Some subsequent plans." Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and responded. He then looked at her with a smile and asked, "What about you? Are you used to it here?"

Xiao Yixian smiled and nodded, and said softly: "I have never enjoyed this kind of atmosphere before, it is quite pleasant. In addition, your friends are also very interesting."

"Hu Jia and Wu Hao?" Lin Yuan chuckled, his tone was somewhat relaxed and casual, "Although their cultivation is not high, they are both worth making friends with. You might as well communicate with them more about some things in the academy. They are more familiar with it than I am."

After that, he added: "But you have to be careful of Hu Jia, that girl is a female hooligan, and the way she looked at you just now was not right..."

Upon hearing this, Little Medical Fairy rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan, then turned her gaze to the vast night sky and said leisurely, "As for friends, having you is enough for me."

"That sounds so heavy!" Lin Yuan exclaimed.

The little doctor fairy raised her lips slightly, looked at him with a smile, then suddenly made a move, grabbed the soft flesh around his waist, and said lightly: "Lin Yuan, I am also a young girl after all. If you keep doing this, I will be troubled."

The words fell calmly but with a hint of embarrassment, and she twisted her slender hand fiercely.

"what--"

A cry of pain suddenly rang out in the night sky.

After a while, the laughter between the two subsided.

Lin Yuan straightened his expression and said seriously: "Little Medical Fairy, I have a favor to ask of you. Use your soul power to resonate with the strange fire and use all your strength to sense my soul ring and see if you can sense the breath of the Sea Heart Flame."

Upon hearing this, Little Medical Fairy nodded, closed her eyes, fully opened her perception, and tried to sense the aura of the strange fire.

After a while, Little Medical Fairy opened her eyes and shook her head, "No, I can only sense the breath of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, and I can't sense the breath of the Sea Heart Flame at all."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Even Little Medical Fairy's close and targeted investigation was unable to discover the Sea Heart Flame. This sealing technique of using strange fire to cover up strange fire performed better than expected, and it was worth the time he spent researching it.

In this way, whether he is interacting with Gu Xun'er and Yao Lao, or venturing into Zhongzhou in the future, he will be much safer.

Strange fire is an important inheritance item no matter which faction it belongs to, and many people covet it. After all, there is no shortage of seventh- and eighth-grade alchemists on the continent, but there are very few strange fires. Strange fire is even more attractive to alchemists...

If one were to go to Zhongzhou without taking any precautions while possessing multiple kinds of strange fires, it would be like sending a treasure boy away.

As for Gu Xun'er, if she finds out that she has too much strange fire in her body, it is possible that she might take a risk for Xiao Yan and attack herself.

After all, even Lin Yuan could not accurately judge the logic of Gu Xun'er's behavior.

Human nature cannot stand the test.

Some things are better to be prevented in advance.

"Since the preparations are complete, it's time for me to treat you. Hehe——"

With a loud laugh, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed, and the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire in his body instantly surged up. He stomped his right foot heavily down, and a burst of wild burning air accompanied by the mysterious fluctuations of a unique strange fire swept around with Lin Yuan as the center.
-
Inner courtyard, Panmen.

"receive!"

In the secret room, a suction force burst out with a low shout, and then a three-patterned pill flew out from the medicine cauldron and slowly fell into a white hand.

Xiao Yan looked at the pill in front of him and smiled, "Three-patterned Qingling Pill, created."

"Perfect, you have mastered the fire very well this time!" Yao Lao's soul floated out of the Bone Flame Ring and said with a smile: "Little Flame Boy, you have almost mastered the technique of using multiple flames at the same time. Next, you can practice the Fire Lotus Technique."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes showed a hint of excitement. Ever since Yao Lao told Xiao Yan about the Fire Lotus technique, he had been thinking about it all the time.

"Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus!"

His intuition told Xiao Yan that this move was very important to him and that it was highly compatible with his own moves.

However, according to Yao Lao, the Fire Lotus Technique is very powerful but also very dangerous. It requires considerable fire control ability and the ability to manipulate multiple flames at the same time.

For this purpose, Yao Lao specially gave Xiao Yan a recipe for the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill, allowing Xiao Yan to practice controlling various types of flames while also helping Xiao Yan earn operating funds for Panmen.

A fourth-grade alchemist is more than enough to support an entire student organization.

Seeing the anticipation and excitement that could not be concealed on Xiao Yan's face, Yao Lao smiled slightly and handed him a scroll.

"This scroll is the result of my summarizing and perfecting the Fire Lotus Technique I have obtained. This move is extremely dangerous. You should start practicing with Wind Fury Dragon Flame and Beast Fire. Once you are proficient in it, you can try Wind Fury Dragon Flame and Bone Spirit Cold Fire."

Xiao Yan took the scroll, opened it impatiently, and put it close to his forehead. Suddenly, a huge amount of information flooded into his mind.

After a while, Xiao Yan put the first part of the scroll into his ring, his eyes flashing with desire to try it out.

"You want to blow up Panmen?" Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and scolded with a smile: "Boy, don't be impatient. This move needs to be practiced in an open area. Go to the back mountain!"

"Hehe!" Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "Yes, teacher!"

He put away his things, turned around and walked out of the secret room.

When I entered the hall, I saw two pretty figures talking about something. They were Xun'er and Hujia.

When Xiao Yan appeared in Xun'er's sight, the eyes of the elegant and refined girl, who was as pure as a green lotus, lit up, and a hint of joy and blush appeared on her delicate cheeks.

"Brother Xiao Yan!" Xun'er called softly and turned her head to look at Xiao Yan.

"Xun'er." Xiao Yan showed a heartfelt smile on his face. He walked to the two girls and rubbed the girl's head: "Nizi, thank you for your hard work. I have pushed all the miscellaneous affairs of Panmen into your hands." "It's not hard at all! Besides, it's not just me. This is also due to Sister Hu Jia's contribution!" Xun'er stepped forward, took Xiao Yan's arm and said with a sweet smile.

"Thank you too, Hu Jia." Xiao Yan looked at Hu Jia and nodded.

Hu Jia crossed her arms and glanced at Xiao Yan, especially at his arm that was held by Xun'er, and said angrily: "If you want to thank me, you should give Xun'er to me!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan could only laugh in a helpless manner. He had never thought that his love rival would be a woman.

"Where is Wu Hao?" Xiao Yan asked puzzledly after looking around.

"That battle maniac was quite stimulated. After the small gathering, he ran to the arena. He will probably have to stay there for a few more days." Hu Jia said helplessly.

"Oh?" Xiao Yan heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and asked: "What could stimulate him?"

At this moment, a wild and scorching aura accompanied by mysterious fluctuations rushed in from afar and swept across the three people in the hall in an instant.

Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er's eyes suddenly shrank. This familiar wave... was the strange fire, and this person was...

"Teacher! This aura..." Xiao Yan called out to Yao Lao in his heart.

"It's Lin Yuan." Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's heart, confirming Xiao Yan's guess, "It seems that he has returned to Canaan College."

"Of course it's Lin Yuan, the one he's been chasing!" Hu Jia didn't feel anything unusual, but her words also confirmed their guesses, "Who else could stimulate Wu Hao to this extent except him?"

"I really don't know how he practiced? The more he chased, the bigger the gap became." Hu Jia's tone was flat, but a hint of unwillingness flashed across his face.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er exchanged glances, and both saw the deep meaning in their eyes.

In the middle of the night, two figures, a man and a woman, walked towards Lin Yuan's residence.
-
At midnight, in the small courtyard of the inner courtyard.

Lin Yuan and Little Medical Immortal were discussing some issues related to alchemy, medicine, and poison. This has become their daily routine for some time.

To some extent, the two of them were like-minded and were both very interested in medicinal materials and pharmacology. Xiao Yixian had the aspiration to become an alchemist, and Lin Yuan also had a strong interest in poison techniques. They hit it off immediately and would often discuss these in their spare time.

Recently, the topic of discussion between the two was the concept of erysipelas confluence proposed by Yanli.

"Xiao Yixian, this is for you. This is my elder token. I don't need it anymore. With it, you can read all the books in Canaan College."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan handed a token engraved with the word "Lin" to the Little Medical Fairy.

"Yes, thank you." Xiao Yixian did not refuse and took the token decisively. She had grown up in a short time and currently really needed the huge knowledge base of Canaan College to enrich her foundation.

After putting the token into the ring, Xiao Yixian looked into the distance and said, "Lin Yuan, you feel it, right?"

"Yeah!" Lin Yuan nodded and said playfully, "The guest I invited is here."

Soon, two figures appeared in the courtyard. Lin Yuan smiled gently, looked at the newcomers calmly, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Brother Xiao; first meeting, Miss Xun'er. Since you two are visiting in the middle of the night, why don't you come over and sit with us."

"Senior Yao, you can also come out and get together. We are old acquaintances. Don't worry, this place has been sealed by my soul power, isolating the inside and outside."

As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture and pointed to the three chairs in front.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Lin. I will respectfully obey your command." Xiao Yan let out a long breath, took the seat first, and Xun'er followed.

After the two of them sat down, Yao Lao's figure also condensed on a chair.

"Long time no see, young man Lin." Yao Lao greeted him and then his eyes fell on the Little Medical Fairy, "Miss, the friend with the evil poison body you mentioned? He is indeed excellent. No wonder he took so much effort on your part."

After hearing what Yao Lao said, the Little Medical Fairy's eyes softened a little, but she did not say anything. She tacitly gave the right to speak to Lin Yuan.

"You are so good at doing favors, you are worthy of being a veteran! You really know how to behave." Lin Yuan secretly praised Yao Lao in his heart.

He nodded and introduced: "This is Xiao Yixian, my dear friend. Xiao Yixian, let me introduce these three to you: Senior Yao Zunzhe, the continent's number one alchemist, your disciple Brother Xiao Yan, and Miss Gu Xun'er."

While introducing, Lin Yuan poured a cup of tea for everyone.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Lin Yuan got straight to business: "Ladies and gentlemen, how is the Xiao family's evacuation plan going?"

"It went very smoothly." Xiao Yan nodded.

He had already learned from Xun'er that all the clansmen who had been scheduled to be taken to the Black Horn Region had arrived safely. Xun'er used some of her power to change the identities of the Xiao family members several times, making it completely impossible to trace them.

At present, the direct descendants of the Xiao family, led by Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, are living a pretty good life with the support of Xiao Yan's elixirs.

"That's good!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly, looked at Yao Lao, and asked, "Senior Yao, several months have passed, is there any news about Bodhi Transformation Saliva?"

Yao Lao glanced at the Little Medical Fairy who looked a little nervous, and flipped his hand, and a transparent crystal box appeared in his hand.

A fist-sized ball of strange, viscous substance that was slightly emerald green in color was suspended in the air in the box, slowly wriggling and floating in it. Like a mollusk, as it moved, layers of liquid surged.

"Is this the Bodhi Incarnation Saliva?" Lin Yuan murmured in a low voice, feeling the vitality overflowing from the box.

The Little Medical Fairy at the side stared at the viscous liquid with a strange halo with her beautiful eyes, and a touch of excitement flashed across the depths of her eyes. As her emotions fluctuated, the Dou Zong aura that she had restrained was released uncontrollably.

Sensing this powerful aura, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly shrank, and he looked at Xiao Yixian with some horror, "Douluo?"

Gu Xun'er, who was standing by, also felt a sense of oppression at this moment, until a ray of golden flame flashed in her eyes, and she finally relaxed completely. Looking at the Little Medical Fairy, the indifference in her eyes faded, and she became more solemn.

"Sorry, I was excited at the moment and lost my composure." The Little Medical Fairy quickly restrained her breath and relieved the depressing atmosphere in the courtyard.

"Three Star Dou Zong?" Yao Lao was a little surprised when he saw this. "Has the Evil Poison Body already reached perfection? The Netherworld Poison Fire and the Evil Poison Body, how can the two be so compatible?"

The speed at which Xiao Yixian's poisonous body matured has surpassed all the recorded poisonous body hosts in history.

Gu Xun'er, who was standing aside, looked cold and elegant again. She turned her eyes away and looked at the white jade cup on the table, but her hands were slightly clenched.

For the first time in her life, an inexplicable feeling of resistance rose up from the bottom of her heart unconsciously.

Most of the time, Gu Xun'er doesn't care about winning or losing.

Even in the battle, as long as Xiao Yan was not involved, she could easily accept losing to Hu Jia or Han Yue. Because she knew that those "defeats" were just a joke, as long as she was a little more serious and released some power, she could easily reverse the victory or defeat.

However, the white-haired woman opposite was different. Although they were not much older than each other, she was currently unable to defeat her no matter what she did.

It is obvious that the other party only has a body of evil poison, while he himself has the most top-level bloodline in the Douqi Continent.

"Have I been slacking off over the years?" This thought, which had never occurred to me before, flashed through Gu Xun'er's mind unconsciously.
