Chapter 96: Fire Elders' Meeting
Before visiting Elder Huo, Lin Yuan took Qing Lin to the small courtyard where he used to live in the outer courtyard. This small courtyard was specially preserved by the academy, and it looked neat and clean. Every plant and tree in the courtyard was full of vitality, revealing a fresh and peaceful atmosphere.

Qing Lin looked around, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She wanted to learn more about Lin Yuan's past, so she was naturally interested in the place where Lin Yuan had lived.

"Young Master, is this where you used to live?" Qing Lin asked softly, with a hint of joy in his voice.

Lin Yuan nodded, a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and said gently: "Well, although it is a bit shabby, I have spent many unforgettable times here."

Upon hearing this, Qing Lin walked to the stone bench in the yard and sat down, intending to stay here for a while and experience firsthand the life that Lin Yuan once lived.

Seeing Qing Lin so interested, Lin Yuan told her to move around the courtyard as she pleased, and he turned and left the courtyard, heading to the Alchemy Department to visit Elder Huo - the elder who had helped him greatly on his path to becoming an alchemist.

Lin Yuan walked through the familiar corridor and arrived at Elder Huo's door. He straightened his clothes and knocked on the door respectfully.

"Come in." As if sensing Lin Yuan, a voice with some expectation came from inside the door.

Lin Yuan pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Elder Huo sitting in front of a large desk, holding a heavy book in his hand, looking at this side with a smile.

Lin Yuan bowed and said, "Fire Master."

Elder Huo put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Lin Yuan, you are back. Please sit down."

Lin Yuan walked to the chair opposite Elder Huo and sat down. Elder Huo carefully looked at and sensed Lin Yuan. As Lin Yuan did not deliberately conceal anything, Elder Huo could easily find that Lin Yuan's cultivation and soul power had made great progress, and he could not help but feel very pleased.

"Lin Yuan, your progress is really beyond my expectation. It seems that you have gained a lot from this year's experience." Elder Huo sighed.

Lin Yuan smiled and said modestly: "It's just some chance."

Elder Huo waved his hand and said, "Don't be too modest. Chance and luck are all part of strength. However, you seem to have an extremely powerful fire power hidden in your body, which even my seventh-level beast fire is submissive. Could it be that you..."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded and said calmly: "The Fire Master is very sharp. I did subdue a strange fire, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, which is ranked 19th on the Strange Fire List. I was lucky enough to get it by chance."

Elder Huo heard this and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Although he had some guesses, he didn't expect Lin Yuan to be able to subdue a strange fire. He said with emotion: "This is really a great blessing! With the help of strange fire, your path as a pharmacist will be smoother. It seems that your alchemy skills have broken through the realm of the sixth level, right?"

Lin Yuan nodded and replied, "Yes, Fire Master. I am currently considered a sixth-grade advanced alchemist."

After hearing this, Elder Huo showed surprise on his face: "Advanced sixth rank? You are far superior to me. It seems that you have encountered many opportunities and gained a lot during your training outside." He said meaningfully, but did not ask further questions.

Elder Huo knew that everyone had their own secrets, and he knew exactly what to ask and what not to ask.

Lin Yuan smiled and said nothing more. He took out a gift that he had prepared long ago - a pile of notes, and handed them to Elder Huo. These notes were his thoughts and experiences in the process of refining medicine, recording his thoughts and insights on refining medicine in a lot of practice, as well as some techniques and skills.

In addition, there is also a part of the content of the eighth-grade alchemist inheritance he obtained. Although it is only a part of it, it is extremely useful for Elder Huo, who is currently at the bottleneck of the fifth to sixth-grade alchemist.

"This is?"

"Master Fire, this is a small gift from my disciple. It may be helpful to you and the Alchemy Department."

"Oh?" Elder Huo heard this, took the letter, and flipped through it. The more he read, the more surprised he looked.

Lin Yuan waited quietly on the side without disturbing Elder Huo.

Soon, Elder Huo closed the notebook and looked at Lin Yuan with a complicated expression. He said in a deep voice: "Lin Yuan, your alchemy skills have really surpassed mine. With such a good talent, I really don't know how bright your future will be. Thanks to you, Canaan Academy's alchemy skills will reach a new level."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled modestly and said, "Master Fire, you are too kind. I just did what I should do. Besides, I am also a member of the Alchemy Department, and it is my duty to contribute to the Alchemy Department."

"In addition, I plan to refine the Imperial Pill in the inner courtyard in the near future. If you have time, Master Fire, you may want to go and see it."

Elder Huo's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. The Imperial Pill was the best among the sixth-grade high-level pills. Its medicinal materials were hard to find, and the refining process was even more complicated. He could understand Lin Yuan's thoughts and knew that he wanted to lend him a hand and help him break through the bottleneck of the sixth-grade alchemist.

He smiled with relief, patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, when you refine the Imperial Pill, I will definitely go there."

After the two of them talked for a while, Lin Yuan said goodbye.

When Lin Yuan returned to his small courtyard in the outer courtyard, Qing Lin was practicing on the futon in the courtyard. "Isn't this the position I reached when I broke through to the Grand Fighter level?"

At this moment, Qing Lin's aura was surging, as if it could break through the thin barrier of the Nine-Star Fighting Master at any time.

"It's time." Seeing this, Lin Yuan had an idea and took out a green and white pill from his ring - the Lingyuan Xisui Pill.

Lingyuan Xisui Pill, a fourth-grade top-level pill, can cleanse the meridians, making the practitioner's fighting spirit purer and increasing the chance of breakthrough. Taking it at the Fighting Master level can strengthen the foundation and steadily improve one star, laying the foundation for subsequent breakthroughs. "Qing'er, take this pill." Lin Yuan's voice reached Qing Lin's ears, and she immediately opened her mouth and swallowed the pill that Lin Yuan fed to her mouth.

The pill entered his stomach, and as the medicinal power took effect, Qing Lin's cultivation level quickly broke through to the Nine-Star Fighting Master level, and it was still continuing to rise, but Qing Lin had no intention of stopping.

"Does this girl want to break through to the Grand Fighter level directly? Well, her accumulation is enough." Lin Yuan immediately understood Qing Lin's thoughts.

Soon, the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils absorbed the powerful accumulation of the snake-shaped monster's cultivation to give Qinglin, and under the catalysis of the Lingyuan Xisui Pill, helped Qinglin to break through the Grand Fighter with great momentum. Her cultivation was stabilized at the one-star Grand Fighter, and the quality of her fighting spirit was much purer than that of an ordinary Grand Fighter.

After Qing Lin successfully broke through, he stood up happily, looked at Lin Yuan and said happily: "Master, I have broken through to the Grand Fighter level."

"Yeah. Qing'er is really amazing. Besides, I also broke through to the Grand Fighter level in the seat where you were sitting." Lin Yuan blinked at Qinglin and chuckled.

"Ah! Young Master also broke through to the Grand Fighter level here?" Qing Lin exclaimed softly, and then as if he thought of something, the smile on his face became even wider.

"Well! We should go to the inner courtyard tomorrow, and you will most likely go to the library tomorrow, so just relax today." Lin Yuan's tone was more profound.

"Book Collection Pavilion?" Qinglin looked a little confused.

"Don't worry about it. You just need to remember that the stronger the energy fluctuations emitted, the better. As for the rest, just let fate take its course." As he spoke, Lin Yuan invited Qing Lin to sit on the stone table, took out some of her favorite foods from the ring, and took out a pot of spirit wine. "I know you have a lot of curiosity and questions. Come here. I can tell you something today."

Qing Lin sat next to Lin Yuan as he said, and the two chatted under the moonlight.

At this moment, in front of the Canaan College Sutra Library, five heavyweights stood quietly.

They are the deputy dean of the outer courtyard Hu Qian, the great elder of the inner courtyard Su Qian, the first elder of the alchemy department Huo, and the guardians of the academy - Nine-star Dou Zong Qianmu and Bailie.

Su Qian was the first to break the silence, "Hu Qian, you are so anxious to call us together, is there something important?" The others also turned their eyes to Hu Qian.

Hu Qian took a deep breath, a solemn look on his face: "Everyone, Lin Yuan is back. But more importantly, he brought back a girl with green snake three-flower pupils, named Qing Lin. She is about fourteen or fifteen years old, but she is already an eight-star fighter and can control fifth-level monsters. According to Lin Yuan, Qing Lin is an orphan, and he hopes she can join Canaan College."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. They were all well-informed people, and naturally knew the horror of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils.

Especially Qianmu and Bailie, as the guardians of Canaan Academy, they are trying to break through the bottleneck of Dou Zun and are well aware of the difficulties involved. Therefore, they know better than anyone the value of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils that can allow people to reach Dou Zun.

Qianmu took a deep breath and said slowly: "The Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils has infinite potential. According to past history, if we can train her carefully, she is very likely to break through to Dou Zun in twenty years or even ten years. This is undoubtedly a great thing for our Canaan Academy."

Hu Qian nodded and said in a deep voice: "I thought so too, and I have already agreed. In addition, Qinglin is extremely dependent on Lin Yuan, and I want to include her in the 'Forging Heroes Project' that Lin Yuan once participated in, and let her join the inner courtyard with Lin Yuan."

Su Qian and Elder Huo looked at each other and nodded. They knew that Lin Yuan was the most outstanding student in Canaan College in recent years, a direct descendant of the college, and the pillar of the college's future. Since Qing Lin relied on him, putting them together was undoubtedly the best choice.

"Okay, let Lin Yuan bring Qing Lin to the inner courtyard. I will take care of him." Su Qian said in a deep voice.

Bai Lie recalled Lin Yuan and couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Yuan? That's the little guy who took the Life-Devouring Pill. I never thought that he could make it this far."

"That's right." Elder Huo took over the conversation, with a bit of pride in his tone: "He is currently at the peak of Dou Wang. This time he came back, he should be preparing to break through to Dou Huang. Moreover, he found the strange fire and has become a sixth-grade high-level alchemist. He has unlimited potential in the future."

Bai Lie couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Oh? Strange Fire, a sixth-grade alchemist? Such great progress in such a short time, the young are really to be feared! A seventeen-year-old Dou Wang peak and a sixth-grade high-level alchemist is extremely rare even in Zhongzhou. If that old guy Mang Tianchi knew about this, I'm afraid he would be very proud again."

Bai Lie continued, "Hu Qian, ask Qing Lin to come to the library tomorrow to pick up a reward, and let Lao Qian and I take a look at her qualifications."

Hu Qian nodded and said, "I understand."

Bai Lie laughed jokingly again, "Hehe, if the Heavenly Snake House knew about this, I really don't know what kind of reaction they would have on their faces. The Green Snake with Three Flower Pupils that we have been looking for for many years turned out to be someone from our Canaan Academy."

Hearing this, Qianmu frowned slightly and reminded: "Old Bai, curb your bad taste. The Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils are very far-reaching, not only related to the Heavenly Snake Mansion, but also to the monster families in the Beast Domain. Before Qinglin really grows up, we must strictly seal off her news."

"I know, you're really rigid."

"This matter has been settled. Everyone, please go away!"

After Qianmu finished speaking, the figures of the people present slowly disappeared, and the scene returned to silence again.

The next day, Qing Lin, led by the vice-president, came to the ancient library.

　What will Qing Lin get? What do the book fans hope Qing Lin will get?
