Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Upon arriving at the academy's cultivation technique pavilion, Lin Yao handed the token to the white-haired elder guarding the core area of ​​the pavilion.

The elder took the token and gently ran his fingertip along the patterns on its surface.

A pale golden halo shone from the token, casting a play of light and shadow on the elder's deeply wrinkled face.

"Lin Yao, Battle Spirit, disciple of the Alchemy Department."

After verifying the information, the elder stepped aside to clear the white jade door behind him.

"Choose your own area of ​​the Earth Rank. Remember, you may only observe and copy. Do not take the original out without permission. Violators will be dealt with according to the academy's rules."

"Disciple understands."

Lin Yao bowed slightly, then stepped through the stone gate.

As soon as you enter, a completely different atmosphere hits you.

Unlike the noisy outer Yellow Rank and Black Rank cultivation areas.

The core area where the Earth-rank cultivation technique was located was completely silent, as if it were isolated from all external sounds.

Beneath my feet are warm, smooth bluestone slabs, and with each step I can feel a faint energy feedback.

Looking up, it is even more breathtaking.

The entire space is not an ordinary building structure, but a vast and boundless "starry sky".

Countless orbs of light, radiating various colors, floated in mid-air, like a sky full of stars.

Some shimmered with a faint emerald light.

Some were burning with crimson flames.

Some of them flow with a deep blue shimmer.

Others are shimmering with a golden gleam and a thick, earthy yellow halo.

It is the embodiment of the energy contained in Earth-rank techniques and combat skills.

These orbs of light were far apart, yet the energy fluctuations they emitted were exceptionally powerful, with wisps of battle qi drifting through the air like gossamer threads.

Lin Yao's gaze swept across the area and he discovered that the number of these light clusters was far fewer than in the outer region.

However, a rough count reveals that the number reaches over a hundred groups.

At the same time, the energy purity of each ball of light far exceeds that of Yellow-rank and Profound-rank techniques, clearly indicating that it is a top-tier inheritance that has been refined over the years.

"As expected of an academy founded by the elders of the Thunder Clan, its foundation is indeed unfathomable."

Lin Yao secretly praised him.

It should be noted that Earth-rank cultivation techniques are extremely rare throughout the entire Northwest Continent.

Even core disciples of some major sects may not be able to obtain it easily.

The fact that Canaan Academy was able to gather so many Earth-rank secret manuals here demonstrates its immense power.

Although he knew that every manual here was extraordinary, Lin Yao did not rush to make a move.

He closed his eyes and slowly released his spiritual power, which, like a fine net, enveloped the suspended orbs of light.

He needs not only powerful techniques, but also techniques that suit his own circumstances.

It can adapt to the cultivation system of the Dou Qi Continent and complement the power it brought from other worlds.

Mental energy swept over each ball of light.

Some techniques focus on a pure enhancement of battle qi, which, while powerful, are difficult to combine with the power within the body.

Some of his fighting techniques are too forceful and consume a lot of fighting energy, which does not fit his fighting style of pursuing precise control.

Lin Yao's eyes snapped open when his mental energy touched the two adjacent orbs of light, a glint of light flashing in them.

The ball of light on the left displayed a colorful halo, with five colors intertwining and flowing to form a perfect loop.

Earth-rank low-level cultivation technique, Five Elements Technique.

Lin Yao reached out his hand in a tentative gesture.

The moment his fingertips touched the ball of light, a gentle yet powerful energy surged into his body, and the detailed contents of the cultivation technique instantly appeared in his mind.

This is a top-tier cultivation technique among low-level Earth-rank techniques; when cultivated to its peak, it can rival high-level Earth-rank techniques.

Its core lies in guiding practitioners to comprehend and control the five elements of battle qi: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Through the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, the circulation and amplification of fighting energy are achieved.

"What an ingenious design."

Lin Yao admired it in his heart, his fingertips gently tracing the surface of the ball of light, feeling the power of the five elements circulating within it.

He could clearly see that every character on the scroll contained a faint trace of the five elements' energy, as if it were a living thing.

For ordinary geniuses at Canaan Academy, cultivating five different types of battle qi simultaneously can easily lead to a mixed and unstable power within the body.

It might even slow down your cultivation progress, which is far less efficient than specializing in one attribute.

Therefore, although this technique is excellent, very few people are interested in it.

But Lin Yao is different.

He not only possesses superhuman mental strength, but also the ultimate control brought by the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It is enough to control the battle qi of these five attributes.

More importantly, the fire element among the five elements perfectly matches his alchemy skills.

Through the mutual generation of the five elements, fire-attribute battle qi can be nourished by the other four attributes, becoming increasingly pure and domineering.

Furthermore, the power of the Five Elements cyclical circulation can regulate the fighting energy within the body, making its circulation smoother and avoiding the drawbacks of mixed power.

"When refining medicine, the temperature and intensity of the flame need to be precisely controlled."

With the Five Elements Technique, my control over fire will undoubtedly reach a new level.

Lin Yao smiled and turned his gaze to another ball of light on his right.

The ball of light was dazzlingly silvery-white, with faint, lightning-like cracks flickering at the edges of its halo.

Earth-rank low-level movement technique, Collapsing Star Step.

Lin Yao probed with his spiritual power and instantly sensed the violent explosive force contained within.

This low-level Earth-rank movement technique pursues ultimate speed and instantaneous burst of power.

Its core footwork principle is extremely simple: it condenses and explodes fighting spirit at the soles of the feet in an instant, forming a powerful thrust.

When practiced to its peak, one can even create sonic booms in mid-air, with speeds comparable to lightning.

"While 'shattering stars' is an exaggeration, its explosive power is indeed astonishing."

Lin Yao thought to himself, and tried to take a step in place according to the introductory steps recorded in the cultivation manual.

He touched the ground with the toes of his right foot, and his fighting spirit surged to the soles of his feet instantly.

Unexpectedly, this force was far more violent than he had imagined, and he almost lost control, causing him to become unsteady.

He quickly circulated his mental energy to forcefully suppress and regulate the fighting spirit under his feet, thus stabilizing his body.

Even so, Lin Yao could sense the potential of this movement technique.

Its burst of speed is not a straight sprint, but rather contains unpredictable change-of-direction techniques.

It can flexibly dodge enemy attacks in battle, and burst out with speed at critical moments to turn the tide.

It can even be used as a means of survival to quickly escape the battlefield.

More importantly, this movement technique demands an extremely high level of control over battle qi, which perfectly complements his powerful mental strength.

His body, tempered by the Star Palace, was also capable of withstanding the strain of such an outburst.

"Compared to the legendary Three Thousand Thunderclaps of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, each has its own merits."

Lin Yao compared the movements in the original work with the extremely impressive ones from his memory, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"The Five Elements Technique strengthens the foundation and cultivates the vital energy, enhancing the control of battle qi and the ability to refine medicine."

The Collapsing Star Step enhances speed and explosiveness, perfecting the combat system.

These two manuals are exactly what I need right now.

After selecting his target, Lin Yao did not linger. He took the two cultivation manuals into his hands and then turned to walk towards the exit.

When he returned to the white-haired elder, he told him the name of the cultivation method he had chosen.

Upon hearing this, the elder's previously calm gaze suddenly sharpened, and he raised his eyes to carefully examine Lin Yao, his brows furrowing slightly.

Are you sure you want to choose these two?

The elder's voice carried a hint of surprise.

"The Five Elements Technique and the Collapsing Star Step are indeed among the best in the low-level Earth Rank."

The former has a cyclical nature of the five elements and boundless potential, while the latter possesses astonishing explosive power.

His movement techniques are unpredictable; if cultivated to perfection, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's comparable to a mid-level or even high-level Earth Rank cultivator.

He paused, his tone becoming serious:

"But do you know why so few people choose these two secret manuals?"

The Five Elements Technique requires mastering five different types of battle qi simultaneously; those with weaker mental strength simply cannot even begin to learn it.

Even if one manages to cultivate successfully, it can easily lead to disordered battle qi, hindering the progress of cultivation.

The Collapsing Star Step requires extremely precise control over the burst of battle qi; the slightest mistake can damage the meridians and even affect one's foundation.

The elder's gaze was as sharp as a sword, fixed directly on Lin Yao:

"You have reached the Douling Realm at such a young age, which shows your outstanding talent. However, the difficulty of cultivating these two secret manuals far exceeds that of ordinary Earth-rank techniques."

Even if you are a genius, you may spend years without making any progress, or even lose more than you gain.

It's not too late to back out now.

Lin Yao saw the concern in the elder's eyes and his heart stirred slightly.

He could sense that the elder was not deliberately making things difficult for him, but was genuinely concerned for him.

But then I remembered that this was my own choice, so I raised my head, my gaze firm, a confident smile playing on my lips:

"Rest assured, Elder, now that I have made my choice, I am fully confident."

The difficulty of mastering these two secret manuals is not a challenge for this disciple.

After speaking, Lin Yao bowed slightly and continued, his tone sincere:

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder. I will keep it in mind."

But this disciple believes that with his own spiritual power and control over battle qi, he will definitely be able to master these two secret manuals, and even carry them forward.

The elder gazed into Lin Yao's eyes, those eyes deep and bright, without the slightest hesitation or cowardice, only unwavering confidence.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, the wrinkles on his face smoothing out slightly.

"Good lad, you have guts. A disciple personally recommended by Dean Hu Gan is indeed extraordinary."

He raised his hand and stamped a vermilion seal on the scroll, making a soft "thump" sound:

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. Remember, these two books are core resources of the academy and must not be distributed without permission."

After completing the practice, it must be returned immediately. It is forbidden to keep or replace it without permission; otherwise, severe punishment will be imposed.

"This disciple will strictly abide by the academy's rules." Lin Yao nodded solemnly, carefully put the scroll into his storage ring, and bowed again. "Thank you for your kindness, Elder."

"Go."

The elder waved his hand, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"I hope you can live up to expectations and bring these two long-forgotten secrets back to their former glory."

Lin Yao turned and left, the white jade gate slowly closing behind him, isolating the starry-sky-like Earth Rank area.

Leaving the cultivation pavilion, the afternoon sun shone on me, warm but not scorching.

Lin Yao took a deep breath, the air filled with the unique fragrance of grass and trees of Canaan Academy and a faint aura of battle qi.

He didn't stop, but walked straight towards his courtyard, his steps light and steady.

Back in the courtyard, Lin Yao closed the gate behind him, completely shutting out the noise from the outside world.

The courtyard was small, with several unidentified green plants growing in it. Dewdrops from the morning still clung to the leaves, shimmering in the sunlight.

Lin Yao sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, took out the two yellowed scrolls from his storage ring, and gently unrolled them.

The scroll of the Five Elements Manual contains the formulas and incantations written in ancient and obscure characters.

Each paragraph is accompanied by a simple diagram depicting the circulation route of battle qi within the body.

Five colors of lines intertwine and intertwine, forming a complex and exquisite loop.

The scroll for the Collapsing Star Step is even simpler, with a series of continuous footwork diagrams drawn on it.

Every movement is full of power, with the timing and intensity of the battle aura bursting out marked next to it.

Lin Yao completely immersed himself in the task, pondering each word and sentence.

His fingertips gently traced the route on the diagram, while his mind continuously deduced the trajectory of the battle qi circulation.

Time passed quietly, the sun set, and the golden afterglow shone through the gaps in the leaves onto the scroll, making the words even clearer.

……

As night fell, a dim lamp lit up the courtyard, casting a yellow glow on Lin Yao's figure.

He sat cross-legged on the stone bench, his eyes closed, surrounded by a faint aura of battle qi.

The Xuan-level cultivation technique that was originally circulating in his body gradually slowed down, and guided the battle qi to flow along new meridian routes according to the incantation of the Five Elements Technique.

At first, the five types of battle qi seemed a bit raw, like five streams that did not interfere with each other.

But under Lin Yao's powerful mental control, they gradually began to merge.

The vitality of wood-attribute battle qi nourishes the meridians.

The intense heat of the fire-attribute battle aura enhances its strength.

The earth-attribute fighting spirit provides a solid foundation.

The sharpness of the metallic fighting spirit enhances its explosive power.

The flexibility of water-attribute fighting spirit resolves conflicts between different attributes.

At midnight, Lin Yao's expression remained calm, but fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He slowly raised his right hand, and his fighting spirit gathered in his palm, forming a small vortex with five colors constantly changing at the center.

It is a combination of the Rasengan technique and the Five Elements fighting spirit.

As the battle qi spun rapidly, the surrounding air emitted a slight hum, and a powerful destructive force quietly spread out.

"Indeed, the fusion of the five elements of fighting spirit has made the Rasengan even more powerful."

Lin Yao opened his eyes, the vortex of battle qi in his palm slowly dissipated, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then his eyes blinked, and his black pupils changed instantly.

The jet-black whites of his eyes were replaced by scarlet.

A kaleidoscope pattern appeared in the center of his pupils, surrounded by a faint azure light, as mysterious and unpredictable as the starry sky.

This is his Reincarnation Mangekyou Sharingan, a product of the fusion of the Mangekyou Sharingan and the prototype of the Tenseigan.

At this moment, the power of the two eye techniques is slowly merging within the body, and each cycle makes the eye power more condensed.

Lin Yao could clearly feel that as the Five Elements Technique was activated, the Five Elements Battle Qi was constantly nourishing the pupil technique, accelerating the fusion process between the two.

"At this rate, it won't be long before my eye technique reaches a new level."

As Lin Yao pondered, the situation on the Dou Qi Continent involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Based on the descriptions of Hu Jia, Xiao Yu, and others, and combined with his memories of the plot from his previous life, he has confirmed the current timeline.

I am at most a few months older than Xiao Yan.

Meanwhile, the future ruler of the Dou Qi Continent should have already passed through the three-year period of being a useless nobody and is now accelerating his recovery.

Within a year and a half, they will step into the gates of Canaan College.

"With the cultivation of the Dou Ling Realm, one can unleash the combat power of a Dou Huang level by relying on pupil techniques and physical body."

They might be able to protect themselves in the Black Corner Region, but looking at the entire Northwest Continent, and even the Central State, this strength is far from enough.

Lin Yao tapped the stone table lightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

It should be known that the Dou Qi Continent is teeming with powerful individuals.

Battle Kings and Battle Emperors are merely mid-level forces.

Only those at the Dou Zong and Dou Zun levels can truly have a voice.

Dou Sheng and Dou Di are legendary figures.

"The Star Palace connects to all the heavens and myriad worlds. As long as you keep getting stronger, the cultivation techniques and martial arts you can access in the future will be far more powerful than the Burning Technique."

The domineering power of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, born from the Holy King World.

The profound mystery of the Perfect World's Other-Transformation Freedom Law and the majesty of the Primordial Golden Chapter flashed through my mind.

Rather than risking offending Elder Yao and the Ancient Clan to compete for the Burning Technique, Lin Yao prefers to rely on his own advantages to steadily improve.

After all, only by living can one have infinite possibilities.

"However, Xiao Yan is indeed a person worth befriending."

Lin Yao's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"He is loyal and righteous, and has exceptional talent. In the future, he will be able to reach the pinnacle of the world."

Befriending him at the right time could be a worthwhile investment, but only if it doesn't hinder one's own growth.

In this dog-eat-dog world, only one's own strength is the most reliable guarantee.

When one is weak, even without any malicious intent, one may still invite death.

When one is powerful enough, even if one acts ostentatiously, there will still be people who fawn over them.

Therefore, improving his own strength has always been Lin Yao's primary goal.

"I have already begun to grasp the basics of the Five Elements Technique, and it is imperative to switch to other techniques."

Lin Yao stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes again, and focused all his attention on the cultivation technique.

The profound-level cultivation technique within his body gradually dissipated like the receding tide, while the Five Elements Battle Qi continued to grow stronger like the rising tide.

Following the route of the Five Elements Technique, the Qi circulates repeatedly within the meridians, each cycle making the fighting Qi more condensed and pure.

Three days later, at dawn, a powerful surge of fighting spirit suddenly erupted in the courtyard, like a sleeping beast awakening.

This fighting spirit first shot into the sky, causing the grass and trees outside the courtyard to shake violently.

Then, like a tide, it was quickly drawn back and contained within Lin Yao's body.

With a faint "click" sound, it was as if some kind of constraint had been broken.

Lin Yao's aura suddenly surged, then stabilized at a new level.

Lin Yao slowly opened his eyes, a five-colored light flashing in them before disappearing.

He felt the abundant battle qi within his dantian, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips:

"Two-star Douling. The Five Elements Technique truly lives up to its reputation."

Not only are the quality and quantity of battle qi far superior to the previous Xuan-level cultivation techniques, but one can also break through bottlenecks during the transition process.

What a pleasant surprise!

He raised his right hand, and with a thought, the five elements of fighting energy gathered in his palm, instantly splitting into five small and exquisite divine beast phantoms.

The azure dragon's scales are emerald green, lifelike, and exude a vibrant wood-attribute aura.

The Vermilion Bird's wings are crimson, wreathed in flames, and contain intense fire-attribute power.

The white tiger is agile and lithe, its silvery-white body exuding a sharp, metallic aura.

The Xuanwu tortoise and snake are intertwined, as black as ink, exuding a heavy aura of water and earth attributes.

The yellow dragon is coiled in the center, its golden color dazzling, radiating the primordial power to harmonize the five elements.

The five illusory images of divine beasts danced and moved in the palm of the hand, as if they were alive.

A glint flashed in Lin Yao's eyes, and he activated his mental power at full force.

At the same time, he activated the Rasengan manipulation technique, guiding the phantom images of the four divine beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Yellow Dragon—to slowly converge towards Vermilion Bird.

Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood; the power of the five elements generating each other is fully demonstrated at this moment.

The four illusory images of divine beasts transformed into four streams of pure energy, which all merged into the Vermilion Bird's body.

In an instant, the phantom of the Vermilion Bird suddenly expanded, and the power of the flames surged several times over.

The originally crimson flames became even deeper, faintly revealing golden light, and the high temperature caused the surrounding air to distort.

Lin Yao could clearly sense that this fiery power, while violent, also possessed terrifying explosive force.

It becomes increasingly easy to control, without any sense of complexity.

"With the Five Elements Technique as an aid, my control over fire has indeed been greatly enhanced."

Lin Yao extinguished the flames in his palm and pondered silently.

"Next, I will master the basics of the Collapsing Star Step, and then figure out how to better combine my eye technique with the Five Elements Battle Qi."

The following morning, Lin Yao compiled the techniques for using mental energy that he had figured out over the past few days into a book.

He bound it into a thin booklet, then got up and walked towards the Department of Alchemy.

Along the way, many disciples stopped and bowed to Lin Yao, their eyes filled with awe and envy.

This alchemy genius, who reached the second-star Dou Ling level at a young age, has already become a prominent figure in the academy.

In the medicine garden of the alchemy department, Elder Huo was bending over and selecting medicinal herbs.

He was dressed in a red robe and held a small silver shovel in his hand as he carefully dug out a bright green "Fire Condensation Grass".

The morning dew dampened his hair, but it did not affect his concentration in the slightest.

"Old Man Huo."

Lin Yao spoke from afar, his voice respectful.

Upon hearing this, Elder Huo turned around and saw Lin Yao. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes before he released his soul power to sweep over Lin Yao's body.

When Elder Huo sensed the stable two-star Dou Ling aura within Lin Yao's body, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Immediately, this transformed into a deep sense of satisfaction and admiration:

"Two-star Dou Ling! The level of Dou Qi condensation is even better than before, and the foundation is also becoming more profound."

You little rascal, you've really given this old man a wonderful surprise!

He put down the shovel, walked over, and patted Lin Yao on the shoulder with a steady, firm touch:

"You just broke through to the Dou Ling realm a few days ago, and I thought you needed to rest for a while."

Unexpectedly, switching to a low-level cultivation technique actually allowed me to break through to the next level.

This talent is truly unheard of.

"Thanks to Elder Huo's guidance in the art of alchemy, I have gained a deeper understanding of energy control, which made my transition to this cultivation path so smooth."

Lin Yao bowed slightly and said sincerely.

Elder Huo waved his hand, a hint of humility in his eyes:

"I dare not take credit for this. My guidance on alchemy was merely a side note; the real key lies in your own talent and hard work."

"I am currently only at the Dou Wang realm, and there is little I can teach you about Dou Qi cultivation."

He gazed at Lin Yao, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions—admiration, relief, and a touch of reluctance.

"With your talent, you shouldn't be confined to the small Black Corner Region. The Central Plains is your true stage."

If I were to take you as my successor, it would only restrict your abilities. It's better to let you develop freely; perhaps then you can go further.

Lin Yao felt a warmth in his heart; he naturally understood Elder Huo's thoughts.

Although this fifth-grade alchemist wasn't top-tier in terms of skill, he generously shared all his knowledge of alchemy without reservation.

He was very grateful for this kindness. He handed over the booklet he was holding:

"Elder Huo, these are some techniques for using spiritual power that I have recently figured out."

This might be helpful for alchemy, so I've compiled it here for you.

Elder Huo took the booklet. The cover was blank, just an ordinary piece of kraft paper.

He turned to the first page, his gaze falling on the words, and his initially casual expression gradually turned serious.

The techniques recorded in the booklet are not complicated, and even somewhat naive, but the ideas they contain are extremely novel.

The part about the precise manipulation of flames with mental power, in particular, caught his eye.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Fifteen minutes later, Elder Huo closed the booklet and said "good" three times in a row, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Although it is a bit immature, the idea is extremely ingenious."

"I've been refining medicine for decades, and I never imagined I could manipulate mental energy like this! It's truly an eye-opener!"

He looked at Lin Yao, his tone slightly teasing:

"You never do anything that doesn't benefit you. So, tell me, what reward do you want for giving such a good thing to the academy?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao didn't mince words and spoke frankly:

"Master Huo, you are wise. This disciple plans to go out and gain experience soon to refine my cultivation and broaden my horizons."

The Black Corner Region is extremely dangerous. This disciple wishes to conceal a portion of his strength so that he can launch a surprise attack at a crucial moment, protecting himself and turning the tables.

Upon hearing this, Elder Huo nodded with an expression of agreement.

"It's good that you thought of that."

Alchemists are inherently easy targets for others.

Concealing one's strength and acting discreetly are the keys to steady progress.

He reached up and took out the storage ring at his waist. With a sweep of his spiritual power, he retrieved a black scroll and handed it to Lin Yao:

"This is a secret technique treasured by the academy, called the Hidden Dragon Breath Technique. It allows you to conceal your cultivation level by two stages before reaching the Dou Zong level."

Even if you are at the Dou Ling Realm, in the eyes of others you will only be at the Dou Shi Realm; even if you reach the Dou Huang Realm in the future, you can still pretend to be at the Dou Ling Realm.

He paused, then added:

"However, this secret technique also has its drawbacks. If you encounter a powerful expert whose soul realm far surpasses yours, you will be able to see through it at a glance."

But with your current mental strength, even ordinary Dou Wang and Dou Huang would probably find it difficult to detect.

This drawback is negligible for you.

Lin Yao took the scroll. It was slightly cool to the touch. The five characters "Zhelong Cangxi Jue" were engraved on the edge of the scroll in small characters, with an ancient and vigorous style.

He could sense the restrained aura contained within the scroll, and overjoyed, he quickly bowed in respect.

"Thank you so much for the gift, Master Huo!"

"You are a student of Canaan College, there's no need to be so polite."

Elder Huo smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Be sure to be careful when going out to gain experience."

The Black Corner Region is a melting pot of all sorts of people. Be careful in all situations, and if you encounter any trouble you can't handle, return to the academy immediately.

Lin Yao nodded heavily: "This disciple will keep in mind Elder Huo's teachings."

Afterwards, he asked Elder Huo a few questions about alchemy and cultivation, and Elder Huo patiently answered them one by one.

Half an hour later, Lin Yao bowed again and turned to leave the alchemy department.

Watching Lin Yao's retreating figure, Elder Huo's smile gradually faded.

He opened the booklet again, his eyes gleaming.

He then summoned a ball of crimson flame and began to try to control it according to the techniques in the booklet.

Guided by his mental power, the flames sometimes condensed into needles and sometimes dispersed into mist, with a much higher degree of control than before.

……
