"Oh? The First Elder asked for me, did he say anything about what he wanted?"
"I don't know about that, he didn't say." Ziyan shook her head, as her purple double ponytail swayed softly
"Okay." Xiao Ming smiled and asked no more questions.
Instead, with a wave of his right hand, a red flame appeared and rose, and within the flame, the appearance of a magical beast manifested.
As the first Heavenly Flame that Xiao Ming had obtained, he had the deepest control over this flame and felt most comfortable using it.
This was also the reason why he tended to use this Ten Thousand Beast Flame the most.
Moreover, by specializing in one type of Heavenly Flame, he could also avoid exposing the fact that he possessed multiple Heavenly Flames.
One had to know that in the Dou Qi Continent, Heavenly Flame was a hot potato, and not only fire attribute powerhouses and Alchemists coveted it.
Many powerful people of other attributes also had the same intentions with it.
After all, with this kind of thing, it was a good choice whether it was sold to some Alchemist to do it a great favor or left to one's own descendants.
Xiao Ming had a Ten Thousand Beast Flame, and others might not bother with it seeing that he was young and powerful.
But if they knew that he had the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, and Green Core Lotus Flame at the same time, then the situation would be different.
Not to mention other people, Xiao Ming felt that, if he himself knew that someone else possessed so many Heavenly Flames, he could not help but be tempted.
Therefore, in front of outsiders, he normally only used the twenty-second rank Ten Thousand Beast Flame.
He casually threw Zi Yan's herbs into the flame, and the flames immediately refined them into a mass of liquid.
With Xiao Ming's current control over Heavenly Flame, refining medicinal herbs into medicinal liquid without a medicinal cauldron was a piece of cake.
After adding the exclusive secret medicinal powder to the medicinal liquid, the liquid was cooled into a pill and Zi Yan's little snack was ready, the whole process taking less than two minutes.
After placing it in a jade bottle and handing it to Zi Yan, who had both eyes sparkling, Xiao Ming bid farewell to the girls and left his small courtyard, heading for Su Qian's study.
...
Knock Knock Knock!
Inside the bright study, the striking wooden bookshelves were arranged in a neat and clean manner, a desk was placed on the inner side of the room, next to the desk, Su Qian and Elder Huo were each holding a book in their hands, sitting opposite each other, hearing a knock on the door, the two looked at each other, after which Su Qian spoke.
"Please come in!"
After his words rang out, and with the sound of the door opening, Xiao Ming entered the room.
"Disciple, since you are here, sit down quickly."
In front of Su Qian, Elder Huo's usually stiff face showed a smile, looking at him, Su Qian was speechless, this Old Huo had a stiff face every day, as if everyone owed him millions of gold coins, only in front of Xiao Ming did he show a smile.
After shaking his head, Su Qian nodded to Xiao Ming in response to his greeting. After Xiao Ming sat down, he was about to say the purpose of asking Xiao Ming to come here, when he suddenly realized that Xiao Ming's aura had greatly increased compared to before.
After looking carefully at Xiao Ming, Su Qian spoke with some astonishment and suspicion.
"Did you just advance to a seven-star Dou Emperor?"
"It's the effect of devouring Han Feng's Sea Heart Flame." Xiao Ming nodded his head slightly, not hiding anything.
"This Qi Method of yours is really powerful." Su Qian was astonished, it was common knowledge that one could not devour more than one Heavenly Flame, but Xiao Ming had devoured the Sea Heart Flame despite having the Ten Thousand Beast Flame as well as the Fallen Heart Flame, and the most surprising thing was that he could increase his cultivation by devouring these Heavenly Flames, so one did not need to think too much to know that it must be the special nature of his Qi Method.
Elder Huo beside him was a bit calmer, he knew that Xiao Ming's Qi Method was quite special because he had previously given Xiao Ming a Fire Attribute Di Qi Method that he himself had cultivated.
Of course, he would know whether Xiao Ming had cultivated his Qi Method or not. After discovering that Xiao Ming had not cultivated the Qi Method he had given him, he feared that Xiao Ming had gone astray so he asked him about it.
After Xiao Ming's explanation, he understood a little, and after checking that Xiao Ming's Dou Qi was thicker and his recovery speed was much better than the Qi Method he had given him, Elder Huo no longer worried about Xiao Ming's Qi Method.
Of course, Elder Huo still felt the need to advise his disciple about this matter of having advanced four levels at once.
"It is better to cultivate step by step, you have skipped so many stages, it is better to further polish your current realm in these few days, do you understand?".
"I understand." Xiao Ming smiled and nodded his head.
"It's good that you understand." Elder Huo nodded and said nothing more, he was at ease with the development of his disciple, whom he had watched grow up.
"Well, First Elder, Master, have I been called for something?"
"Oh, this time, I called you here because of those Black-Corner Region forces." Su Qian stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Those forces in the Black-Corner Region have already been destroyed?"
"Well, those forces have been destroyed by us, and this time we have also obtained several good things from those forces. We have called you to see what you need and we will let you choose."
"There is still something so good?" Xiao Ming was surprised.
"Hehe, don't think you got special treatment, brat. You're not the only one who has this perk, every Elder who participated in the battle can choose three items, while the rest will be kept by the Academy." Su Qian said as he handed some storage rings to Xiao Ming.
Protecting the Academy was the duty of the Elders, so, what Su Qian was doing now could be considered giving additional rewards.
Of course, the storage rings of the powerhouses that they killed would be kept by the Elders themselves, and what was being rewarded now was from the treasury of those forces.
Blinking, Xiao Ming did not object.
Accepting the storage rings, his soul power entered them one by one.
These storage rings were all intermediate storage rings, and the space inside them was not small, so it was crammed with various items.
Although there were many items, they were arranged in an orderly fashion and should have been specially organized.
The first storage ring contained objects such as weapons and armor.
Xiao Ming was not interested and quickly put it away.
The second storage ring contained medicinal herbs.
As soon as he entered it, Xiao Ming found that the number of medicinal herbs contained in this ring was not much less than the Herb Warehouse of the Jia Nan Academy.
This made Xiao Ming swallow saliva, and with Han Feng's collection, along with his own previous collection, he already possessed quite a lot of medicinal materials, however, no Alchemist would mind having too many medicinal materials.
'Sigh, it's a pity that I can only choose three'. With a sigh, Xiao Ming examined them one by one.
Finally, he chose a medicinal herb with an emerald-like body, on top of which was a jade-like fruit.
"Qing Fei Fruit?" Seeing the object in Xiao Ming's hand, Elder Huo raised his eyebrows.
"Although this thing can directly poison a Dou Emperor, it's not good for refining pills, what do you want to do with it? With your current strength, do you still need to poison a Dou Emperor?" As soon as his words ended, Elder Huo suddenly thought of Xiao Yi Xian, who possessed the Woeful Poison Body, and understood who Xiao Ming had chosen this for.
After sighing, thinking how quickly his disciple had matured, he said no more.
Xiao Ming, who had chosen a medicinal herb, did not continue to search for herbs, but instead put down the storage ring containing the medicinal herbs and looked at the other ring, and a moment later, he had two different colored scrolls in his hand.
One was a strange grayish-white color, with a small line of writing on the scroll that read, "Intermediate Di Qi Method of Poison Attribute, Nether Poison Method".
The other was greenish in color, with three large words written on the scroll, Greenwood Alchemy Canon.
Seeing Xiao Ming finish choosing, Su Qian said with a smile, "This Di Class Qi Method you chose is the highest-class Qi Method we have harvested this time, it was found in the Eigh Gates' auction warehouse, and should have been the next item they would put up for auction, if not for the fact that there are no Elders in our Academy who are poison attribute, it is possible that it would no longer be available for you to choose."
"Compared to that, this Greenwood Alchemy Canon is far inferior, it's just the notes of an Alchemist, don't you want to exchange it for something else?"
"No need, absorbing the knowledge of other Alchemists from time to time might be of some use to me." Xiao Ming said.
Xiao Ming was not lacking in Qi Methods or Dou Techniques.
Although the things seized by the Jia Nan Academy were many, they were not very attractive to him.
When Su Qian heard this, he said nothing, and after retrieving the storage rings from the table, he handed him another storage ring.
"The Academy wants you to refine some sixth-tier pills for emergencies, here are the medicinal ingredients, and in there is your fee for your hard work."
Xiao Ming took the storage ring, and with a scan with his soul power, he discovered that there were some medicinal ingredients inside, leaving the storage ring, Xiao Ming said.
"Master's soul power is much stronger than before, now he must have entered the sixth tier Alchemist, can't Master refine these pills?".
"Oh? The First Elder asked for me, did he say anything about what he wanted?"
"I don't know about that, he didn't say." Ziyan shook her head, as her purple double ponytail swayed softly
"Okay." Xiao Ming smiled and asked no more questions.
