Chapter 247: Entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower!
Burial Soul Ridge.
Soul Hall branch.
A terrifying black fog suddenly burst out from the main hall, then swiftly approached the direction of the Jia Nan Academy.
...
Jia Nan Academy's inner courtyard.
After making a plan, Gu He decided to first go to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to check the situation.
"Ziyan, your teacher needs to go out again!"
After informing Ziyan, Gu He flew towards the direction of the black tower as he remembered it.
In a short while, Gu He arrived above a huge square.
At this time, there were about five or six students also entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for cultivation.
When they saw Gu He in the sky with Dou Qi wings behind him, they knew he must be an elder of the academy.
"Greetings, Elder!"
"Greetings, Elder!"
Several respectful voices came from below Gu He.
To this, Gu He just nodded slightly, then headed straight for the entrance of the black tower.
"Which elder is this? Why have I never seen him before?"
"So young, could it be the legendary Elder Gu He that's been talked about recently?"
After Gu He entered the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, the few students standing on the square looked at Gu He's back and voiced their speculations.
"That's right, this is Elder Gu He from the Jia Ma Empire!" Amidst the murmurs, suddenly a young man in white very confidently said.
"Oh?"
Hearing the young man in white so sure, everyone turned their gaze towards him.
"Ling Feng, by the sound of it, you know this Elder Gu He." A young man in blue robes asked curiously.
"I indeed know Elder Gu He; he was the champion of the last last alchemist conference in the Jia Ma Empire, and had reached the realm of a six-star alchemist before I came to the Jia Nan Academy," Ling Feng said with great pride: "I had the fortune to meet Elder Gu He at a banquet my father took me to."
Hearing Ling Feng's words, everyone couldn't help but look at him with new eyes.
It was unexpected that Ling Feng actually knew the only six-star alchemist in the academy.
"Ling Feng, since you know Elder Gu He, could you please ask him to help me refine a Qing Ling Pill?"
"Ling Feng, I also want to ask you to please request Elder Gu He to help me refine..."
Suddenly, the others standing next to Ling Feng were all asking him to plead with Gu He to help refine pills.
Seeing the thick anticipation in their eyes, Ling Feng knew he had bragged too much and inwardly sighed: "I myself have only met the Alchemy King once; it's hard to say if he even remembers me."
The young man in blue robes saw Ling Feng frowning and silent, so he tentatively said: "Ling Feng, are you worried about the matter of medicinal materials? You can rest assured, we definitely won't let Elder Gu lose out."
The others also echoed: "Yeah, don't worry, I have prepared two sets of materials, it won't make you feel embarrassed."
"If Elder Gu knows there are people from the Jia Ma Empire here in the Jia Nan Academy, he will definitely be happy, maybe he will even refine it for free."
Looking at the materials handed over by several people, Ling Feng almost reluctantly accepted them.
"I'll try my best, but Elder Gu's temperament is somewhat unpredictable, so it's best not to hold too high hopes." Ling Feng set a precautionary expectation after accepting the materials from the people.
...
Inside the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Just as he stepped in, Gu He could feel the difference here compared to the outside world. The temperature was very high, and if not for the special cold material that constructed the black tower blocking it, this place would probably become as hot as a volcano.
Continuing forward, suddenly a kind of heart fire sprang up within Gu He. However, for the current Gu He, even without taking any measures, this heart fire could not harm him in the slightest.
Shortly after Gu He entered, he sensed a slightly stronger aura rapidly approaching this location.
The next moment, an extremely plainly dressed elder appeared in Gu He's sight.
"It's Elder Gu He, isn't it!"
The expression on the elder's face became particularly excited upon seeing Gu He.
"I am indeed Gu He. I presume you are the tower guardian elder of this place, Elder Liu!" Gu He said calmly.
"Ha ha, to think that Elder Gu He would actually recognize me!" Hearing that Gu He actually knew his identity, Elder Liu's smile grew even broader.
"I heard about the tower guardian elder from the great elder and other elders a few days ago," Gu He stated directly.
"I see!" Elder Liu nodded and then suddenly thought of something, hastily saying to Gu He: "This is Elder Gu's first visit to observe the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, why not let Liu lead the way?"
"I am just here for a casual walk, it would not be appropriate to take up Elder Liu's time!" Hearing Elder Liu's suggestion, Gu He politely declined.
"Very well then!" Hearing Gu He's words, Elder Liu left very tactfully.
...
This Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, buried deep underground and only revealing a part of its spire, had a very large interior area.
Walking along, just on the first floor, Gu He saw no fewer than five hundred cultivation rooms, and it is said that the tower becomes more spacious as one goes deeper.
Most of these cultivation rooms were occupied, so Gu He did not encounter many students along the way.
Soon, Gu He arrived at the central area of the tower.
Looking down, a bottomless dark hole appeared in front of Gu He.
The hole was filled with a kind of eerie darkness that had almost no light at all, running through the entire Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. If not for the cover of the spire, this pitch-dark hole could probably be clearly seen from the sky.
Upon reaching this place, Gu He clearly felt that the air here was much hotter than in other areas, as if something at the bottom of the deep hole was continuously emitting heat to the entire Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
At this moment, a trace of purple light flashed imperceptibly in Gu He's pupils, and upon looking again, the darkness below began to strangely fade.
Within the endless darkness, the space suddenly started to twist slightly, and then these twisted spaces, like invisible pythons, climbed up towards the entrance of the hole at an extremely terrifying speed.
The temperature around also suddenly rose sharply, followed by a very sharp "hiss" sound spreading from the depths of the hole.
"Hiss!"
The unusual sound, like lightning flashing, continued to spread and echo around the pitch-black deep hole. In an instant, the slightly dim environment suddenly brightened significantly, and the temperature in the air also rose rapidly. A very terrifying and ancient aura slowly emerged from the hole, finally bursting out like lightning tearing through the night, surging from the seemingly endless deep darkness.
