Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin Yao became a familiar face to Elder Su Qian.

After saying goodbye to Vice Dean Hu Gan, Su Qian led them to his office area.

"Xiao Yao, I'm sure Hu Gan has already told you about the academy's arrangements for you, so I won't go into details here."

On the way, Su Qian walked with his hands behind his back, his gaze occasionally falling on Lin Yao beside him, and said softly.

As he spoke, Su Qian raised his hand and took out two items from his storage ring.

The token is jet black and engraved with the emblem of Canaan Academy. It feels slightly cool to the touch and has a heavy texture.

The other card was a crystal card with a faint purple glow, and subtle energy fluctuations flowed across its surface.

Su Qian handed both items to Lin Yao, pointed to the token, and continued:

"This is your teacher identification token, the key to access a private courtyard that the college has prepared for you in the inner faculty living area."

Furthermore, with this token, you can freely enter and exit all areas of the inner courtyard without needing to report, except for the core forbidden area.

"Elder, thank you for the academy's kindness. I understand. Also, what is this card for?!"

Lin Yao reached out and took the two items.

The teacher's token was alright, but the moment one touched the card, one could clearly sense the immense fire energy contained within it.

I had a general idea in mind, but I still took the opportunity to ask.

"Is this what you mean? It's a Fire Energy Card unique to our Canaan Academy, which can be exchanged for time to enter the Heavenly Qi Refining Tower."

Upon hearing this, Su Qian noticed that Lin Yao was playing with the card, and followed up by introducing it.

"Moreover, this is not an ordinary fire crystal card, but a purple crystal fire card, which has a sufficient amount of fire energy points pre-stored inside, so you don't need to bother earning them."

It's enough to support your long-term cultivation within the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower; you won't need to sacrifice cultivation time to acquire fire energy.

Nodding, Lin Yao felt that the teacher benefits at Canaan Academy were quite good, and bowed slightly in thanks.

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder and the Academy. I am deeply grateful."

"We're all family, no need to be so polite."

Su Qian waved her hand and continued.

"Furthermore, both Old Man Huo and Amber said that you not only have a strong talent for cultivation, but you are also an outstanding person among your peers in alchemy."

In this situation, the academy will not forget your alchemy training and will naturally provide full support for your alchemy path.

Therefore, the medicine warehouse will supply you with the necessary medicine materials on time, so you don't need to go there yourself.

"After you've refined the pills, you only need to return a portion to the academy's reserves; the rest is up to you."

This arrangement was meticulous and completely relieved Lin Yao of any worries.

His main task was to focus on cultivation and steadily improve his battle qi cultivation.

At the same time, he honed his alchemy skills and made full use of his talent.

After learning about Lin Yao's potential, the higher-ups at Canaan Academy undoubtedly put a lot of effort into it.

Such treatment is something even the top students in the inner academy can hardly achieve.

Moreover, this is likely just the initial investment, and further investment may be required later depending on the situation.

Everything is about wanting to retain more affection for oneself.

Lin Yao understood this, thanked him again, and then said nothing more, silently following behind Su Qian.

Upon arriving at the office area, we briefly confirmed a few details regarding the handover of the courtyard and the use of identity tokens.

Lin Yao then bid farewell to Su Qian and turned to leave.

After saying goodbye to Su Qian, Lin Yao's biggest concern was the strange flame at Canaan Academy.

Fallen Heartflame.

I had long heard that this strange fire, ranked fourteenth on the list of strange fires, could refine the physical body and temper the fighting spirit.

Lin Yao was very curious about the effects of this Fallen Heart Flame, so he didn't delay any longer and headed straight for the direction of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

Soon, relying on his memory of the inner courtyard's geographical location, Lin Yao arrived at a certain area in a short time.

From afar, one can see a colossal structure inverted within the inner courtyard of Canaan College.

As expected, it's the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

From a distance, the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower resembles an inverted ancient cauldron, its body covered with ancient and mysterious runes.

Faint flames flickered among the runes, and a faint, scorching heat permeated the air.

Even from a great distance, one could feel the oppressive aura emanating from the divine fire of heaven and earth.

As he approached the tower, the scorching heat became even more pronounced. Lin Yao looked up at the magnificent ancient tower, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, and sighed inwardly:

"As expected, it lives up to its reputation. The aura emanating from the tower alone is enough to deter ordinary fighters."

With a sigh, Lin Yao no longer hesitated and stepped directly into the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

As soon as he entered the tower, Lin Yao's extraordinary mental strength keenly sensed an invisible flame quietly enveloping his body.

The flame had no fixed shape, as if it had blended into the air, carrying a faint warmth, but not scorching.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, not in a hurry to activate his battle qi for defense, but calmed down and carefully sensed the aura of this invisible flame.

After a moment, he confirmed that the invisible flame would not cause him any harm, and that his internal fighting spirit would not instinctively retaliate because of this unfamiliar energy.

Lin Yao then relaxed his mind and allowed the invisible flame to slowly seep into his body.

However, once this invisible flame enters the body, it completely loses its calm appearance and instantly becomes extremely active.

As if a dormant flame had been awakened, it pulsed and roamed wildly through his meridians, bones, and muscles, followed by a surge of intense heat.

It began to burn and temper his body wildly.

Logically speaking, even a Dou Wang level expert would experience some discomfort from the pain of being burned by such strange fire.

But Lin Yao remained calm, even slightly narrowing his eyes, showing no sign of pain.

The reason.

Firstly, this flame was merely a scrap of the Fallen Heart Flame, and its power was limited.

Secondly, Lin Yao's own physical body had already been tempered and refined, making it extremely powerful.

His mental strength far surpasses that of others of the same level, and his tolerance for this scorching heat is far greater than that of ordinary people.

Even though invisible flames were burning rampantly throughout his body, he did not feel excruciating pain, but rather a warm, scorching sensation.

It spreads throughout the body along the meridians.

It felt as if every inch of skin and every bone was being gently nourished and forged.

It felt tingly and numb, extremely comfortable, almost like soaking in a warm hot spring.

Lin Yao couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing a satisfied expression, and thought to himself:

"This Fallen Heart Flame is truly miraculous; even just scraps have such amazing effects."

Then, Lin Yao realized that the effects of the Fallen Heart Flame were not only to refine the physical body, but also to burn and temper the battle qi.

This makes the fighting spirit even purer than before.

Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Lin Yao's eyes. He immediately focused his mind and calmed his breath, activating the silver battle qi within his body.

He carefully controlled his battle aura, slowly weaving and circulating it within the invisible flames.

The moment the silver battle aura came into contact with the invisible flame, it was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and the two burned rapidly together.

Before long, the silver battle qi that Lin Yao already possessed was completely condensed.

A small portion of them, through repeated burning and tempering in the flames, have impurities gradually removed.

The colors became purer, and the luster became brighter and more translucent.

The energy fluctuations during the flow also become more condensed and profound.

However, Lin Yao's battle qi itself contains extremely powerful energy, and compared to his physical body, the energy reaction of his battle qi is more intense.

Under the continuous cleansing of the silver battle aura, the invisible flames that had been wandering within his body eventually disappeared slowly into his meridians.

Sensing the changes within his body, Lin Yao slowly opened his eyes, a thoughtful look flashing in them, and murmured to himself:

"Is this just a small scrap of the Fallen Heart Flame? Even so, it actually has some effect on me, a Battle King who has already exceeded the standard."

Although its effect is somewhat negligible, it is still quite remarkable.

If one can delve deeper into the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and get closer to the true form of the Fallen Heart Flame, the flames obtained will be even more intense.

Furthermore, if one could absorb the true form of the Fallen Heart Flame into their body, it would undoubtedly provide a tremendous boost to the tempering of their physical body and battle qi.

At that time, my strength will definitely reach a new level.

Thinking this, Lin Yao's desire for the Fallen Heart Flame grew stronger. He immediately stopped and started walking deeper into the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Of course, Lin Yao was just experiencing the feeling of the inner fire tempering his body.

As for seizing the Fallen Heart Flame, that's clearly unrealistic.

Along the way, one could occasionally see some students practicing inside the tower.

Everyone was focused on cultivating with the help of the Fallen Heart Flame, their bodies surrounded by faint fluctuations of fire energy.

Lin Yao did not encounter the various melodramatic conflicts and provocations that Xiao Yan in the original novel did as he traveled.

They arrived at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower smoothly and without any obstacles.

At this moment, there are very few students cultivating on the lowest level.

Most of them chose the upper area because they couldn't withstand the strong fire energy here.

Inside the spacious hall, there were individual cultivation rooms, their stone doors tightly closed, with only a few emitting faint energy fluctuations.

Lin Yao's gaze swept across the room and he quickly found an empty cultivation room.

He stepped forward, gently pushed open the stone door, turned around and went inside, then slowly closed the stone door.

Then, he took out the amethyst fire card and inserted it into the card slot next to the stone door.

As soon as the Amethyst Fire Card was inserted, an invisible flame several times more concentrated than the one above instantly surged into the training room.

It seeped into Lin Yao's body continuously through his pores and meridians.

The intensity of this flame far exceeded the scraps he had initially felt outside the tower, and the scorching sensation was much more pronounced.

Of course, for Lin Yao, who possesses the strength of a Dou Wang, everything is still within his tolerance range.

Feeling the surging flame energy within his body, Lin Yao nodded in satisfaction, a faint smile playing on his lips:

"Not bad. As expected of a place close to the original body of the Fallen Heart Flame, the concentration of heart fire here is indeed quite good. I can take this opportunity to calm down and consolidate my cultivation."

With that thought in mind, Lin Yao no longer hesitated. He sat cross-legged on the stone platform in the center of the cultivation room, closed his eyes, and focused his mind into his body.

He began to use the intense inner fire to fully temper his physical body and fighting spirit.

……

Time slipped away quietly as I focused on my cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Inside the cultivation room of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, Lin Yao, whose eyes were originally closed, suddenly trembled slightly with his eyelashes, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Two dazzling silver lights flashed in his eyes, and the faint fire energy fluctuations surrounding his body gradually subsided.

Immediately, Lin Yao slowly raised his hands, his left palm slightly raised, and silver-white battle qi surged and condensed wildly.

Accompanied by a faint crackling sound, a battle aura version of Chidori, gleaming with cold light, quietly took shape, containing a sharp armor-piercing power.

A swirling silver vortex appeared in his right palm, the fighting spirit rotating at high speed, forming an extremely condensed version of the Rasengan.

Lin Yao stared at the two self-created fighting techniques that he was gathering in his hands, feeling the level of refinement and energy fluctuations that far exceeded those of his previous works.

A satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face, and he nodded slowly:

"Although it was only a short three days, thanks to my absorption speed of this Heart Fire power and the strong endurance of my physical body, I was able to temper it at the highest power throughout the process, and the effect was indeed remarkable."

"My battle aura quality, which was already far superior to others of the same level, has been further enhanced. Therefore, the power of these two self-created battle techniques has also increased considerably."

As he spoke, he gently raised his hand and spread his arms slightly apart.

The Chidori and Rasengan in his palm transformed into countless tiny silver specks of light, slowly dissipating into the air without leaving any trace of energy.

Lin Yao slowly stood up, his body relaxed, and his bones made a slight "creaking" sound.

Then, he closed his eyes, activated his mental energy, and fully perceived his own condition.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them, tinged with a touch of regret:

"These three days of training have indeed greatly improved my skills."

In addition to his battle aura becoming more refined and mellow, his physical body also became increasingly powerful.

The unstable feeling that I had when I broke through to the fifth-star Dou Wang realm has completely disappeared, and my realm is now incredibly solid.

Unfortunately, the heart fire of this fallen heart flame was ultimately just dissipated energy, and it didn't even touch my limit.

I have neither encountered the true Fallen Heart Flame nor come into contact with the original flame.

Otherwise, the improvement over these three days would have been even more astonishing.

Lin Yao shook his head slightly. Compared to when he first joined Canaan Academy, his desire for the Fallen Heart Flame had become even stronger.

But he also knew that now was not the time to act impulsively.

Neither his own strength nor his relationship with Canaan Academy allowed him to use overly brutal methods to seize the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Well, let's just take it one step at a time. Anyway, the worst outcome is that the already formed Fallen Heart Flame will eventually erupt. There will always be a chance."

Lin Yao thought to himself, suppressing his anxiety, and his expression gradually returned to calm.

As he pondered his future plans, he reached into the slot and pulled out the Amethyst Fire Card, carefully storing it away.

Then, he turned around, walked to the stone gate, pushed it open forcefully, and stepped out.

They retraced their steps and left the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower without any obstacles.

Stepping outside the tower, a breath of fresh air greeted me, a stark contrast to the scorching, dry atmosphere inside.

Lin Yao took a deep breath, savoring the fresh scent of grass and trees in the air, and stretched out a big yawn.

With arms outstretched, the muscles and bones throughout the body cracked slightly once again.

Originally, my mind was slightly tired due to three consecutive days of intense training.

Nourished by this fresh air, I instantly became radiant and full of energy.

His ability to adjust his mind and body is far stronger than that of ordinary people.

But Lin Yao had no intention of resting there.

He knew perfectly well that now was not the time to stop.

To truly rest in peace, one must at least possess the strength to protect oneself in this perilous Dou Qi Continent.

Otherwise, if you regret not working hard enough when you really need the strength to support you, then it will be a great loss.

Lin Yao understood perfectly.

As one's strength and fame continue to grow, one will inevitably come into contact with the Soul Hall, and even the more terrifying Soul Clan behind the Soul Hall.

These long-standing and deeply rooted forces will never wait for him to grow and mature before coming to him one by one like offering themselves up for execution.

For someone like himself, who lacks the protagonist's halo and has a similar background to Xiao Yan, it's like a sword hanging over his head.

Once a threat is detected, the only options are to either take him in as a dog or refine him instantly.

With his current strength, he has no chance of winning against either the Soul Palace or the Soul Clan.

The level of a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) is still too high.

Therefore, Lin Yao is now filled with a sense of crisis and feels that he needs to seize the opportunity to improve his overall strength as much as possible and grow up as quickly as possible.

"You're thinking too far ahead. Let's focus on doing what's in front of us first."

Lin Yao gently shook his head, clearing his mind of all the jumbled thoughts, and turned to walk towards the medicine storehouse in the inner courtyard.

"Now my body and fighting spirit have been tempered by the intense fire of the Fallen Heart Flame, and have reached a relatively solid state."

Next, it's time to improve my alchemy skills.

By using the academy's medicinal herbs to refine pills, one can improve their alchemy skills and, incidentally, nourish themselves.

This feeling of getting something for free is quite enjoyable.

Lin Yao's lips curled slightly as he pondered in his heart.

More importantly, he still had someone on his mind: Zi Yan.

This little girl, who possesses the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon Royal Family, has an innate and extremely strong sensitivity to medicinal herbs.

My favorite thing to do is wander around the herbal medicine warehouse, looking for herbs that can replenish my energy.

If I could encounter Ziyan out foraging for food in the herb warehouse, it would save me a lot of trouble searching.

According to Lin Yao's deduction of the Dou Qi Continent's timeline, Zi Yan is currently in a stage of rapid physical development and urgently needs energy replenishment.

The Ancient Void Dragon is one of the top magical beast races on the Dou Qi Continent, with an incomparably powerful bloodline.

Moreover, as the daughter of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng Zhu Kun, Zi Yan's need for energy is far greater than that of magical beasts of the same level.

However, Elder Su Qian and the others did not know Zi Yan's true identity, nor did they understand her enormous need for energy.

Because of her childhood experiences, Zi Yan doesn't like to communicate with others and is used to doing everything herself.

As a result, Zi Yan was often in a state of "not having enough to eat" and could only sneak around the herb warehouse to find food to replenish her energy.

Therefore, Lin Yao felt that if he could use the medicinal materials provided by the academy to refine pills containing rich energy, he could succeed.

For Zi Yan, who desperately needs energy, it is absolutely irresistibly attractive.

At that time, it will surely attract that little ancient dragon that is searching for food everywhere.

Then, by feeding her, he would get closer to her and complete his grand plan to "abduct" the Princess of the Ancient Dragon of the Void.

With this in mind, Lin Yao walked briskly and soon arrived at the medicine storehouse in the inner courtyard.

As soon as you enter, a rich aroma of herbs wafts over you, a blend of the unique scents of various rare medicinal materials, refreshing yet mellow, instantly invigorating the senses.

The interior of the medicinal herb warehouse is extremely spacious, with rows of shelves stacked one on top of the other.

Various medicinal herbs and magic cores, ranging from Tier 1 to Tier 4, were neatly arranged on top.

The person in charge of the medicinal herb storehouse was an elderly man with white hair and beard. He was slightly hunched over, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes were bright and shrewd.

He had already been informed by Su Qian that Lin Yao would be coming today to collect the materials for alchemy.

So he stayed in the medicine warehouse, waiting for Lin Yao to arrive.

Upon seeing Lin Yao walk in, the young man had a handsome face, a calm demeanor, and clear, deep eyes, showing no signs of youthful impetuosity.

The old man immediately went to greet him, a warm smile on his face and a kind tone:

"You must be Teacher Lin. You've finally arrived. The Grand Elder has already instructed that the medicine warehouse will fully cooperate with all your needs."

As he spoke, the old man glanced at Lin Yao without making a sound, and found that he could not sense the latter's battle qi cultivation at all.

Looking at Lin Yao's youthful face, it's clear that seeing is believing, and hearing is deceiving.

Considering Su Qian's high regard for Lin Yao, and the old man's words about Lin Yao's talent in alchemy, the old man instantly understood.

The young inner court teacher before me is absolutely a once-in-a-century genius.

Such a young Battle King level expert is truly a terrifying prodigy.

Also, that little girl will have something to play with.

Thinking of a certain figure who gave him a headache, who might later become close friends with the person in front of him, the old man couldn't help but laugh.

As he laughed, the old man came to his senses and saw that Lin Yao remained calm and didn't say anything. Feeling embarrassed, he valued Lin Yao even more.

At such a young age, he has already gained the approval of the Grand Elder in both martial arts realm and alchemy, and his temperament far surpasses that of his peers.

Compared to the mediocrity of my life, it's like comparing heaven and earth.

An idea couldn't help but surface in the old man's mind:

"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older. Such talent is beyond my reach. At my age, I've wasted my life."

This is why the old man became even more enthusiastic towards Lin Yao, and his smile became even more genuine.

In his view, Lin Yao, a genius with extraordinary talent, is bound to achieve limitless success in the future.

By forging good karma now, even if you don't need it yourself, your descendants may benefit from it in the future. This is definitely a profitable deal.

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder."

Lin Yao smiled politely and spoke humbly as he handed over a list of medicinal herbs that he had prepared beforehand.

"Elder, these are the medicinal herbs and magic cores I need for refining pills recently. Could you please help me prepare them?"

The old man took the list and looked at it carefully.

Most of the medicinal herbs listed above are mid-grade herbs, and there are also some rare magic cores, which are obviously materials used to refine good pills.

But he didn't ask any further questions, and immediately nodded, smiling as he said:

"Of course, of course. Don't worry, Lin Yao, I will arrange for people to prepare everything for you as quickly as possible. It will not delay your alchemy."

As he spoke, the old man turned and instructed his apprentices to prepare the medicinal herbs and magic cores in an orderly manner according to the requirements on the list.

He himself stayed by Lin Yao's side, chatting with him from time to time and asking him questions about alchemy.

Lin Yao did not hold back, patiently answering all the old man's questions one by one.

His words were clear and logical, and his insights were unique, displaying the demeanor of a peerless genius, which made the old man admire him even more.

Lin Yao always treated the old man's enthusiasm with courtesy, neither servile nor arrogant.

He neither appeared frivolous because of the other party's enthusiasm, nor arrogant because of his own talent.

One was warm and attentive, the other was humble and polite, and the two got along very well.

Before they knew it, the distance between them had narrowed considerably, and their feelings for each other had deepened.

Before long, the apprentices had prepared all the medicinal herbs and magic cores that Lin Yao needed.

They were all neatly arranged and placed in several specially made wooden boxes, which were then handed to Lin Yao.

The wooden box was heavy, and the medicinal herbs and magic cores inside were of excellent quality, clearly top-grade goods that the old man had specially selected.

Lin Yao glanced down to confirm that everything was correct, then bowed to the old man again to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your trouble, Elder. I am deeply grateful."

"Teacher Lin, you're too kind. It's nothing I should do."

The old man smiled and waved his hand, his tone sincere.

"If Teacher Lin needs any more medicinal herbs in the future, there is no need to inform me in advance. Just come directly, and I will do my best to cooperate."

"Then thank you very much, Elder."

Lin Yao smiled slightly, took the wooden box, and turned to walk out of the medicine warehouse.

Holding the heavy wooden box, feeling the rich medicinal fragrance and energy fluctuations contained within, Lin Yao was quite satisfied.

With these medicinal herbs, he could not only improve his alchemy skills, but also attract Zi Yan, which was a win-win situation.

……
