Chapter 198 Conflict Begins
Inner courtyard, Elder's Pavilion.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Su Qian's face flashed with surprise, and he confirmed again in disbelief: "In other words, Xiao Yan is Medicine Venerable's disciple, and Medicine Venerable's residual soul is attached to him at this moment?"

"This matter has been confirmed." Lin Yuan nodded.

After a pause, he added: "To be honest with you, Great Elder, I have cooperated with them before. The method of curing the poison pill of the evil poison body was what I exchanged from Medicine Venerable."

“Cooperation?” Su Qian looked at Lin Yuan meaningfully and chuckled, “Lin, it seems that you have experienced more things than I thought during these years of training outside! You are worthy of being the number one genius in Canaan…”

Hearing this, the past three years flashed through Lin Yuan's eyes. He smiled and said, "These past few years have been really rich..."

After pondering for a moment, he made a decision in his heart.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan told Su Qian many things that could be disclosed and were not too sensitive, especially those related to Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.

Rather than getting involved without knowing it, it would be better for the Great Elder to be prepared.

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan pretended to be ignorant and asked: "Great Elder, do you know what the Xiao family's background is? Not only does the eldest daughter of that family use the surname Xiao, but even the Soul Palace is targeting such a small family of Great Fighters."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Su Qian's eyes flashed with some surprise, and he thought to himself: "Is the Xiao family really the descendants of that clan? This is really surprising..."

After a moment's silence, Su Qian looked at Lin Yuan seriously and said, "This matter is related to the ancient race, so don't delve into it. Although our Canaan Academy is also connected to the Thunder Clan, we will not interfere in their fight."

"What about Xiao Yan and Yao Zun Zhe?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Follow the rules of the academy." Su Qian's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he said decisively: "Xiao Yan is a student of Canaan College. As long as he is in the academy, we will protect him. This is the basic principle of the academy."

"Where is Master Yao?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Medicine Venerable?" Su Qian thought for a moment, then said, "The dean has a relationship with him, and you have fought alongside him. You can take this opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the two sides."

When talking about Yao Lao, he felt a little more that things and people have changed.

Su Qian also met Medicine Master with Mang Tianchi, but he was just an insignificant little shrimp at that time, and the latter didn't even remember this.

I didn't expect that in just a few decades, the situation has changed so much...

However, as the Great Elder, Su Qian was very sensitive and cautious, and said meaningfully: "However, judging from the style of Master Yao, he chose to bring his disciples to Canaan College and 'lurked' in the inner courtyard. It seems that he is not just seeking refuge."

Lin Yuan smiled lightly, "The Great Elder is indeed insightful. As for his purpose, it should be...", and glanced in the direction of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

"Fallen Heart Flame?" Su Qian understood and said helplessly, "As you said before, the secret has finally been leaked."

But soon, he became confused again, "No, don't he and Xiao Yan both have strange fires? What's the point of continuing to collect strange fires?"

"It's better not to expose the secret of the Burning Technique." Lin Yuan thought to himself.

So, he took out a pale scroll from his ring and handed it to Su Qian, "Great Elder, you might as well take a look at this. I got it from Medicine Venerable. If my guess is correct, his purpose is also related to this."

This scroll is exactly the one that Lin Yuan got from Yao Lao, the scroll for refining a perfect body.

Su Qian took the scroll and looked at it with interest.

After a moment, he closed the scroll with some surprise, and suddenly realized: "So that's it, Medicine Venerable wants to collect the strange fire to refine the body, and then return to the world."

Su Qian looked at Lin Yuan, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He remembered...

Lin Yuan already has two kinds of strange fires, plus the Fallen Heart Flame in the tower and his talent for alchemy, and the resurrection method recorded in this scroll will be performed by him in no time. In this way, doesn't it mean that the foundation of Canaan Academy has skyrocketed?

Thinking of this, a hint of joy flashed in Su Qian's eyes.

"Strange fire is indeed a wonder of heaven and earth, with such magical uses!" Su Qian sighed and looked at Lin Yuan intently, "Is this also the reason why you want to try to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame and master a variety of strange fires?"

"That's one of the reasons!" Lin Yuan nodded. "After all, this method has more interesting uses. For example, breaking through the realm..."

"Breakthrough?" A hint of doubt flashed across Su Qian's eyes.

"Yes, a breakthrough!" Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with a deep feeling, and he said: "A person's essence, energy, and spirit influence each other. And what is recorded in this scroll are the standard conditions for resurrection. Its materials are not unchangeable."

"If this method can be used with more advanced materials, such as Dou Zun's body, eighth-grade elixir, and eighth-level blood essence, then its effect will be..."

Lin Yuan did not finish his words, but looked at Su Qian meaningfully.

"hiss--"

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Su Qian took a deep breath. If this was true, then the death of the physical body would no longer be the end for Canaan College, but an opportunity...

Looking at Su Qian's shocked expression, Lin Yuan smiled lightly, with a hint of depth in his eyes.

At the beginning, he traded this scroll to Yao Lao, not for the sake of Skyfire Venerable, but to use it as a backup plan. With this method, even if there are some accidents in the future, he can deal with them calmly.

For example, at this moment, even if Xiao Yixian fails to condense the poison pill and her poisonous body erupts, Lin Yuan can extract her soul and then use this method to reshape her body and revive her.

After a while, when Su Qian sorted out his thoughts and looked at Lin Yuan again, he could no longer hide the admiration in his eyes.

He was now certain that Lin Yuan was the future hope of Canaan College. As long as he continued to grow, he would sooner or later be able to bring the college to a higher level, a level that the older generation had never imagined.

What I have to do is to escort him for a period of time... No, maybe even escorting him is not necessary.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Su Qian recalled the experience he had described and discovered that Lin Yuan's strength seemed not weaker than his own.

Lin Yuan, Queen Medusa, and Medicine Master once worked together to kill two earth-level guardians of the Soul Palace. It probably wouldn't work if I were to do that.

"He is such a little monster. He has grown to such a remarkable level in just three years. He is not inferior to the geniuses of ancient races at all." Su Qian felt a mixture of emotion and helplessness. "Now, all I can do is to support him with all my strength."

Thinking of this, Su Qian returned the scroll to Lin Yuan and asked for the latter's opinion.

"Lin Yuan, do you have any suggestions on the matter of Medicine Venerable? You have had a lot of contact with him, and he is eyeing the Fallen Heart Flame that you need."

"Be on guard and cooperate at the same time." Lin Yuan said bluntly.

"Now is the low period for Medicine Venerable, and it is a good time to help him. On the premise of preventing him from seizing the Fallen Heart Flame, we might as well trade and cooperate with him. This will not only help him, but also take the opportunity to replenish Canaan's foundation."

"Master Yao has quite a lot of good stuff in his hands! Look, Great Elder, these are the good things I got yesterday..." As he said that, Lin Yuan handed two volumes of pill recipes to Su Qian.

"Oh?" Su Qian took the recipe and looked at it carefully. "Seventh-grade recipe, Destiny Recovery Pill, and...Zunshi Pill? Could it be that you want to..."

Su Qian suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I hope the Great Elder can help me collect medicinal materials so that I can refine seventh-grade elixirs such as the Zunshi Pill and Zongyuan Pill. Although I have a lot of medicinal materials, I am still missing some of the medicinal materials recorded in the pill formula."

"Zunshi Pill, Zongyuan Pill..." Su Qian muttered to himself and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, his eyes fixed, as if he had made some decision.

Immediately, Su Qian handed a token to Lin Yuan and said solemnly: "This is the space key to the college's precious medicinal materials warehouse. You can use the many rare medicinal materials in it at will. Just refine the Zunshi Pill as soon as possible!"

Lin Yuan took the token and saw silver light flashing on it, covered with runes, and a mysterious force of space was sealed in it.

The Canaan College's medicine storehouse is in hand.

He put away the token, and immediately bowed to Su Qian, saying gratefully: "Thank you for your trust! Don't worry, Great Elder, this matter won't take too long. After I break through to Dou Zong, I will have a 70% chance of refining Zunshi Pill and Zongyuan Pill."

"I believe you and will wait for your good news!" Su Qian stroked his beard and asked, "When are you going to retreat?"

"After getting rid of the old demon, I will retreat to break through." Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice: "I can't retreat at ease when I don't know when the old demon will attack."

Hearing the name of the old demon, Su Qian's face became more serious. It was obvious that the former brought him a lot of pressure.

"The death of Fang Yan and the other two people may have reached the ears of the old demon."

"That old man not only protects his own people, but he has always been hostile to Canaan College. The constant conflicts between the Devil Flame Valley and us were instigated by him. Now that the three elders of the Devil Flame Valley have all died in your hands, he will definitely seek revenge when he finds out about this excuse."

“Haha!” Lin Yuan sneered, “That’s perfect. I was worried that he would shrink and not come out, so let me add fuel to the fire…”

"Then what are you going to do?" Su Qian stared at Lin Yuan.

"Lure that old man out, and then kill him." A fierce look flashed across Lin Yuan's eyes, and he said indifferently: "Rather than fighting on someone else's territory, I prefer to lure him out of his hole and have him fight here."

When fighting at Canaan College, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Lin Yuan will have a way to ask the two elders to cover the back.

"Lure the snake out of its hole?" Su Qian looked at Lin Yuan, the next great elder he had chosen, with great interest, and asked, "Have you thought about how to implement it specifically?"

"It's very simple!" Lin Yuan nodded and chuckled, "Ask the Great Elder to inform the outside world that it was me who killed Fang Yan and the other two. Ask the Demon Flame Valley to prepare five sixth-grade elixirs within ten days and ask me to redeem the bodies of Fang Yan and the other two."

"Expired. The bodies of Fang Yan and the other two will be hung on the Dead Spirit Tree in Heping Town forever."

"hiss--"

Su Qian took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yuan solemnly, "If you do this, you will really fight him to the death. That old guy cares a lot about his reputation."

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t plan to let him go.” Lin Yuan waved his hand casually and said indifferently: “If he can come, that would be the best result. If not, I can only go to the Devil Flame Valley myself and kill people and destroy the sect…”

Since they have become enemies, Lin Yuan doesn't mind taking the initiative and doing it thoroughly to avoid any hidden dangers.

Besides, he had been coveting the treasures in the Demon Flame Valley for a long time.

The seventh-level magic core, the matching earth-level thunder-attribute skills and fighting techniques, and the method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet are all good things.

Especially the method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet, which is very valuable to Lin Yuan. After a while, he will start refining the seventh-grade elixir. The Heavenly Demon Puppet can resist the elixir thunder while evolving through the elixir thunder, which is an extremely useful weapon.

"Let me ask you one last question, Lin Yuan, are you really sure you can deal with the old demon?" Su Qian confirmed solemnly.

"Don't worry, Great Elder. I'm confident." Lin Yuan said calmly without changing his expression.

Looking at Lin Yuan's unshakable expression, Su Qian agreed to Lin Yuan's request, "Okay, I'll pass on the instructions for what you just said. From now on, it's up to you!"

"Thank you, Great Elder!"

After the two discussed for a while, Lin Yuan left the Elders' Pavilion.

A few days later, a piece of news detonated the entire Black Horn region.

The three elders of Moyan Valley, headed by Fangyan, were all killed by Lin Yuan, the elder of Canaan College. Lin Yuan asked Moyan Valley to redeem the bodies with elixirs.

Upon hearing the news, many forces in the Black Horn Region were somewhat shocked - this was a naked provocation.

Canaan College and Devil Flame Valley, the two real overlords of the Black Horn Region, are finally going to clash head-on? But why was it Canaan College that initiated the clash? Could it be that the legendary dean of Canaan College has returned?

Does the old monster who hasn't appeared in the Black Horn Region for many years really dare to attack Canaan Academy?
Everyone wants to know, if these two old forces with a long history collide head-on, who will win?
At the same time, the unfamiliar name Lin Yuan spread throughout the Black Horn Region at an astonishing speed.
-
The Devil Flame Valley, one of the most powerful forces in the Black Horn Region, is located in a huge valley in a mineral vein in the north of the Black Horn Region.

Outside the valley, there were dark black steel stones, which were extremely hard, and even Dou Wang masters could hardly break them. Inside the valley was a huge city that was no less than Fengcheng, where a large number of the outer sect members of the Demon Flame Valley lived.

In the center of the giant valley is a magnificent building complex stretching for dozens of miles. This is the headquarters of the Demon Flame Valley.

At this time, in an icy hall deep in the Demon Flame Valley, a conversation was taking place.

On the skeleton throne, an old man with bloody hair sat.

He was wearing a yellow skull robe and had an extremely thin face. At first glance, he looked like a skull. His deep-set eyes shone with a faint luster, like a ghost's fire, revealing a sense of weirdness and gloom.

This person is the founder of the Demon Flame Valley, the old demon.

Below the throne, an old man exuding the aura of a Douhuang level knelt on one knee, looking at the old blood mage respectfully.

"Has the news come back?" The cold voice of the old demon sounded.

Hearing the question, the Douhuang elder lowered his head and answered respectfully: "Ancestor, the news has been reported back. The five people we placed in Canaan College have not found any signs of Mang Tianchi's return."

"You dare to provoke me like this when Mang Tianchi is not here? Are you trying to cheat me? You are courting death..."
