Xiao Yan pursed his lips as he listened. How many times had he said this before? It was so unreliable. But he still took a step and looked around.

However, neither of them expected that Xiao Yan, who had come here to try his luck after hearing that Xiao Miao had found the Xuanhuang Flame, would actually run into it.

However, it was truly unbelievable to Yao Lao that two strange flames could be hidden in a desert, even though they were not in the same place.

And this is also their goal for this trip: the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

At this moment, Xiao Yan had already refined the Xuanhuang Flame with the help of Yao Lao. Feeling the surging energy within his body, a surge of pride welled up in his heart. Now, the level of the Burning Technique had reached the low level of the Xuan rank, and the speed of cultivation and recovery of Dou Qi was much faster than before.

When he absorbs more strange fires in the future, and when the Burning Technique evolves into a Heaven-rank technique, he will probably have the power to destroy the world.

Xiao Miao is now living a life of retirement in the inner courtyard. During the day, he guards the pharmacy, and at night he has to face Medusa's entanglement. However, even so, with the blessing of the dual cultivation method, the two of them are still cultivating at an alarming speed.

This was unbelievable to Medusa. In just two months, she had broken through to the eighth star of Dou Zong, and even Xiao Miao himself had reached the ninth star of Dou Huang.

At first, the two were worried that their cultivation was improving too quickly and that their foundation would be unstable, so they stopped for a few days. But then they found that their battle qi was solid and even stronger than the battle qi they normally cultivated.

Medusa was even more determined to pursue Xiao Miao, demanding nightly revelry every single day. However, the young man, having just tasted the sweetness of it, did not refuse and even went along with it. For a time, the two were on the same side.

However, after a while, Medusa did ask Xiao Miao what exactly happened.

It's hard to believe that a member of the Xiao family, a remote and isolated clan, would possess such an incredible ability.

Faced with Medusa's questioning, Xiao Miao only lied half-truthfully, claiming that he had received an opportunity when he was a child, saying that cultivation was difficult and that he needed to cultivate seriously, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a dual cultivation technique.

Xiao Miao thought about what Xiao had said to him before, and realized that there was no problem with that.

Medusa's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this. Suddenly, she raised her body slightly from Xiao Miao's leaning position and asked in a somewhat dangerous tone:

"You probably haven't cultivated with anyone else, have you?"

Seeing Medusa's reaction, Xiao Miao knew that she harbored some doubts.

However, he was different now. He immediately changed his expression, glancing sideways at Medusa with feigned displeasure:

"What are you saying? You doubt me? If that's the case, then what about back in that cave?"

Before Xiao Miao could finish speaking, Medusa hugged him tightly. Xiao Miao's words just now made her feel guilty.

She had indeed given him the drug first, yet now she was turning around and suspecting him. Medusa's paranoia was indeed a bit too much. With a hint of guilt, she whispered softly in Xiao Miao's ear.

Chapter 101 Xiao Miao's Tea Talk

Xiao Miao felt a little smug as Medusa held him in her arms; her manipulative words were quite effective.

However, Xiao Miao's expression soon stiffened, because Medusa's hands gradually became more restless. What was originally just on his back began to slip inside.

In an instant, like thunder from heaven and fire from earth, the two hit it off and spent another night cultivating.

The two got up early in the morning. Xiao Miao got up early to cultivate, while Medusa stayed in bed and didn't want to move at all.

Medusa felt that Xiao Miao's talent in this matter was even stronger than his cultivation. At first, Xiao Miao was unable to withstand her attacks. After learning from the Snake-Man Clan System, in their nighttime battlefield, Xiao Miao could only be overwhelmed and defeated by her.

However, after this period of practice and training, Medusa's learned moves gradually became ineffective, while Xiao Miao's became more and more refined. Now, it was she who was defeated and disarmed, although with their strong physiques, it was not a big deal.

But deep down, Medusa actually preferred to be the one on top, because that gave her more control.

However, it's good to change positions occasionally. For example, last night, Xiao Miao served Medusa very well, and she felt that this feeling was not bad.

Medusa dressed up, and on the table was the breakfast that Xiao Miao had prepared before leaving, still steaming warm. Although with their cultivation levels, it wouldn't matter if they didn't eat it, for some reason, Xiao Miao paid great attention to this formality, and over time, Medusa followed suit.

Today, Xiao Miao was assigned to another mission. Another batch of new students entered the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, so it was a good opportunity for Xiao Miao, the new elder, to go and take a look.

Xiao Miao figured that things wouldn't change much since he was usually in the pharmacy anyway, so he agreed and left with the other elders.

"Extreme Wind - Meteor Strike".

As Xiao Miao arrived at the edge of the forest with several elders, he sensed a familiar presence. Looking down, he saw Nalan Yanran.

However, she was followed by several people, and there were also five other people on the opposite side. The two sides were fighting fiercely, and there were also some people lurking around. The strength of the people on the battlefield varied.

Xiao Miao was puzzled when he saw this.

Seeing Xiao Miao's expression, Elder Zhou Zhou chuckled and began to explain:

"This is a tradition of Canaan Academy. Disciples who enter the inner academy from the outer academy will have to compete against the senior students who entered the inner academy earlier. It is commonly known as the Fire Energy Hunting Competition."

Hearing this, Xiao Miao nodded with some relief, then looked down, wondering about Nalan Yanran's current strength.

Meanwhile, Nalan Yanran looked at the senior student opposite her. After several rounds of fighting, she leaned on her teammates behind her and couldn't help but be a little out of breath.

It seems she was indeed a bit arrogant before. In the Jia Ma Empire, apart from Xiao Miao, she had always been a standout among her peers. Unexpectedly, now that she has come to Canaan Academy, she has encountered several peers with higher cultivation levels than her in the outer courtyard.

With her current strength as a seven-star Battle Master, she had some spare energy when she advanced earlier. (This is a timeline issue, so don't worry about it too much.)

Nalan Yanran also selected a decent fighting technique, a high-level Xuan-rank movement technique, but unfortunately, the time was too short and she hadn't had time to comprehend it yet.

Otherwise, I could have managed to outmaneuver this senior student at the peak of the Battle Master realm using my movement skills.

Xiao Miao could also see the disadvantage of the freshmen at this moment, and it was likely that they would not be able to hold on for long.

As expected, despite Nalan Yanran's continued struggle, her teammates fell one by one, leaving her all alone in the end. Surrounded by senior students, she was forced to give up her fire energy card.

As the battle here came to an end, the people hidden in the sky turned their attention to the other battlefields, watching the old guard chase the newcomers.

Xiao Miao watched quietly from the side, while the experienced elders started placing bets one by one.

"I bet this team will last until the very end."

"Your one looks no good, I'll bet on this one."

Without exception, no one believed that the freshmen team would defeat the senior team. It was no wonder that the elders looked down on the freshmen, as they were already a level below the seniors in terms of cultivation, not to mention other factors.

Seeing the elder's attitude, Xiao Miao couldn't help but sigh. The academic atmosphere at Canaan Academy was quite relaxed. Thinking about the cultivation process of the inner court students, it seemed that they all cultivated on their own, only the academy provided a platform and a place for rapid cultivation.

A day and a half passed quickly, and the fire energy hunting competition came to an end. As all the elders had predicted, the senior students won. The elders who had placed bets had been guessing for a long time, but they could only guess one team. Their opinions differed, and everyone favored the team with the highest cultivation level. In the end, no one got any benefit, so the bets had to be voided and wait for the next round.

Now that it's over, the elders exchanged glances, deciding it was time for them to step down and clean up the mess.

In an instant, they straightened their sleeves, dressed like reclusive sages, and slowly descended from the sky.

Xiao Miao looked at the elders around him and couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't expected that these usually serious people would play this kind of game. However, he didn't dampen their enthusiasm and followed behind them.

With the arrival of the elders, the new and old students shook hands and made peace.

Then came the introduction by the leading elder, who explained the function of the fire energy cards that had been plundered from them. Seeing the dejected expressions on the faces of the new students, he comforted them, saying that it was perfectly normal for them to be unable to win due to the difference in their cultivation levels.

However, with Xiao Miao's arrival, all the female students in the room focused their attention on him, their eyes filled with infatuation. After all, his terrifying charm was quite frightening, like a dream that devoured people, making them deeply immersed in it.

However, Xiao Miao was no longer helpless as before. A tremendous pressure instantly erupted from his body, despite the huge difference in cultivation levels between the two sides.

The female students who had been infatuated earlier all realized what was happening, but their eyes still kept drifting towards Xiao Miao, after all, such a stunningly beautiful woman was truly rare.

At this moment, Nalan Yanran also saw Xiao Miao and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, wondering why he was with this group of elders.

Those around Nalan Yanran, seeing her like this, understood that the two must have known each other before.

With the elders leading the way, the students behind them all surrounded Nalan Yanran, asking about Xiao Miao's situation. Even the senior students were also nearby, listening intently.

I had heard that a young elder had come to the inner courtyard and that he was extremely powerful. I was sure that this was the one in front of me. After all, compared to the old men around him, the difference was obvious.

Chapter 102 Xiao Miao: A Light Pretend

As Nalan Yanran recounted her story, Xiao Miao's past deeds in the Jia Ma Empire were all exposed.

This caused quite a stir among the new and old students, because the story sounded completely fabricated.

A young genius, he later joined the Yunlan Sect and broke through to the peak of Dou Ling in three years. He returned after disappearing for a year and should now be a Dou Wang powerhouse.

The story of breaking through to the Dou Wang realm was told to the latter by Yun Yun after she returned from the Xiao family.

This experience alone left everyone present speechless.

Suddenly, everyone turned to look at Xiao Miao, who was meditating in front of them.

Judging by the time, he is now about the same age as these students, or even a little younger, but he is already a Dou Wang powerhouse and an elder of the inner academy. It's truly terrifying.

A student sitting next to Nalan Yanran, looking somewhat nervous and with disbelief in his voice, said:

"Elder Xiao, is what Senior Sister Nalan said true?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Miao couldn't help but feel a bit amused by their teasing, and shook his head calmly.

Seeing this, many students couldn't help but feel disappointed, and the admiration in their eyes disappeared.

Everyone's gaze turned to Nalan Yanran again, their eyes filled with suspicion.

Even Nalan Yanran herself was stunned. This was different from what her master had said; it shouldn't be like this.

Just as Nalan Yanran was about to say something, Xiao Miao suddenly turned to give everyone a sly smile, his tone carrying a hint of smirk.

"Ahem, just kidding, but I didn't say anything wrong. After all, I'm not a Dou Wang now, but an Eighth-Star Dou Huang."

Xiao Miao sat facing them. At the same time, he glanced at the flying magical beasts that were surrounding him, and his aura suddenly exploded, instantly intimidating all the flying magical beasts that wanted to surround him in the mountains. They then hurriedly fled.

Upon feeling this oppressive aura, everyone was stunned. Although it was only directed at the flying magical beasts around them, they could still feel the terrifying power emanating from it.

For a moment, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. How could a Dou Huang of this age cultivate?

Nalan Yanran was also shocked. How could she have become a Dou Huang in such a short time? Didn't her master say she was only a Dou Wang?

She had heard from her master that Xiao Miao had also come to Canaan Academy, and she had hoped that the two of them would make a name for themselves. However, after arriving, she found no trace of Xiao Miao. She couldn't even find his name when she asked around, and she didn't even see him when she was selected to enter the inner academy.

After all that, it turns out he's already an elder of the inner courtyard. So he came here to be an elder. It's her fault for being so rigid in her thinking; it would be truly absurd for someone with his abilities to be a student.
