Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 69 What junior brother? This is your senior uncle!

A few days later.

When Hun Cang and Elder Lin came out of the alchemy room again, the first thing they saw was the figure in the hall.

"Yun'er?" Elder Lin hesitated for a moment. "You'll be waiting here, won't you?"

Mu Yun nodded.

As Elder Lin's disciple, this was the first time she had seen her teacher treat a student this way, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"You, you, I really shouldn't say anything good about you. You're so old, yet you can't settle your mind. Being fickle is a major taboo for an alchemist." Elder Lin shook his head.

Mu Yun smiled and looked at Hun Cang, who was following behind Elder Lin.

"Hello, junior brother. Let me formally introduce myself. I am your senior sister, Mu Yun." Mu Yun extended her fair hand and gave a playful smile.

However, Hun Cang did not reach out. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Elder Lin with a strange expression.

Mu Yun was taken aback and looked at the teacher in confusion.

Is there a problem with accepting apprentices?

Elder Lin blushed. He hadn't expected his disciple to be waiting outside all this time. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Yun'er, don't be rude. Hun Cang is your senior uncle. Quickly call him!"

Master...Master Uncle? Mu Yun's beautiful eyes widened to their maximum, her mouth slowly opened, and an expression of disbelief quickly filled her entire face.

The term "shibo" is usually only used when referring to a teacher's senior brother.

Mu Yun understood this principle.

But what she couldn't understand was how, in the blink of an eye, Hun Cang had become her teacher's senior brother, when only a few days had passed?

Most importantly, the teacher didn't seem to show any resistance. Judging from the smile on his face when he left, he seemed very happy to become Hun Cang's junior brother.

Teacher, you clearly said you were going to take Hun Cang as your disciple, so why did you change your mind?

Mu Yun felt somewhat dazed at that moment.

What's wrong with this girl? I must tell her later that she must not tell anyone else. Elder Lin saw that Mu Yun hadn't spoken for a long time, so he didn't urge her.

After all, such a thing would be extremely shocking to any elder.

However, Elder Lin genuinely wanted to learn better alchemy techniques.

So, at Hun Cang's suggestion, a compromise was chosen.

That is Hun Cang taking on disciples on behalf of his master.

In this way, Elder Lin could learn alchemy skills without having to become Hun Cang's apprentice.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle."

At that moment, sounds came from the surroundings.

Elder Lin's face stiffened, his head twisting slowly like a rusty doll. When he saw the figures standing at the doors of the other rooms, his toes clenched instantly.

"No, why are all these guys here today when they're usually nowhere to be seen?!" Elder Lin felt like he was going crazy.

This must be what death is like... Hun Cang looked pitifully at Elder Lin, took a step back, and hid in the alchemy room.

……

Hun Cang didn't know much about what happened afterward.

He spent most of his time at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, occasionally taking the time to check on the Xiao family and see if anything similar to Luo Ling had happened again.

At the same time, he will also get involved with Xiao Mei, which will alleviate the fire poison accumulated in his body to some extent.

An accident occurred during this time. While Hun Cang was treating Xiao Mei's poison, Xiao Yu accidentally bumped into them. After hesitating for less than a second, Hun Cang simply pulled Xiao Yu over as well.

However, he later learned from Xiao Mei that she had actually arranged the whole thing herself.

After speaking, Xiao Mei was very nervous, worried that Hun Cang would blame her, but Hun Cang did not say anything.

This continued for three months. Xiao Yu successfully passed the assessment and entered the inner academy. Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning's strength was also steadily improving, and it was only a matter of time before they entered the inner academy as well.

Xiao Xun'er had been unwilling to participate in the assessment, and even though Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and mentor Ruolin took turns trying to dissuade her, it had no effect.

Hun Cang knew in his heart that the girl was definitely waiting for her Xiao Yan brother.

Counting the days, Xiao Yan's three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran was almost up.

Hun Cang sighed. He probably wouldn't have the chance to be there in person to witness such an important moment.

Having entered the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, although it was relatively close to the Fallen Heart Flame, there was still little opportunity to come into contact with it.

At the bottom of the tower, numerous elders stood guard, their constant watchful eyes preventing Hun Cang from making any moves.

It's not that he hadn't considered taking a hard line, but if he did, wouldn't all his hard work over the past six months be wasted?

After these days of cultivation, Hun Cang's strength has returned to that of a Dou Huang, currently a four-star Dou Huang, and he only has a few days left to break through to the five-star level.

This result is quite satisfactory for Hun Cang.

In order to devour the strange fire, he abandoned his previous cultivation and started over. Although it took him almost a year longer, there is no doubt that after being tempered by the strange fire, his talent is now many times better than before.

Moreover, the current cultivation method is better than that of the Soul Clan, and it directly leads to becoming an Emperor.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll wait another two months. If it doesn't work out, I'll just force it." Hun Cang shook his head, gathered his scattered thoughts, and walked out of the Qi Refining Tower.

Because of Elder Lin, Hun Cang now has his own small courtyard in the inner courtyard. When he is not at home, Xiao Yu lives there.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, a figure ran out of the room, her long, slender, and fair legs particularly eye-catching.

"Lord Cang, you're back. Would you like to eat first, or treat the poison first?" Xiao Yu asked, holding a spatula in her hand, a blush creeping onto her face.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

"Let's do it together." Hun Cang smiled slightly.

……

Black Corner Region.

In a dimly lit and quiet room.

In the shadows, figures could be vaguely discerned; these people were almost all draped in black robes, concealing their faces and bodies.

Da da da!

Footsteps came from outside the door, then the door was pushed open, and a figure burst in with light.

"Gentlemen," the newcomer said without any pretense, glancing around at everyone, "I helped you when you needed it, and now I have a favor to ask of you. Once this is settled, we'll be even."

A black-robed figure standing nearby spoke in a hoarse voice: "Medicine King, tell me what this is about?"

"Besiege Canaan Academy!" Han Feng said, enunciating each word clearly.

hiss!

As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp of astonishment filled the room.

"Are you crazy? For us to attack Canaan Academy is practically suicide!"

"Yes, Canaan Academy has stood firm in the Black Corner Region for so many years, which means it has its own foundation and strength."

"..."

Voices rang out, expressing resistance.

Han Feng remained calm and raised his hands in a gesture of respect: "Please rest assured, everyone. I, Han Feng, am not sending you all to your deaths. I have also contacted the Blood Sect and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, among other forces, for this operation."

The surroundings immediately became much quieter, as neither the Blood Sect nor the Heavenly Serpent Palace were ordinary forces.

"Medicine King, when did Canaan Academy offend you?" someone asked, puzzled.

Han Feng shook his head: "No, I just want to use everyone's strength to lure out the elders of Canaan Academy so that I can have a chance to seize the Fallen Heart Flame."

"Isn't that sealed at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower? How could you get it?" someone in the corner questioned.

"I'm confident," Han Feng said confidently, without offering any explanation.

He had been in the Black Corner Region for many years and had observed the Fallen Heart Flame for a long time. Several riots occurred every year, which completely violated the previous pattern.

According to Han Feng's speculation, he believes that the seal is weakening, or that the Fallen Heart Flame has encountered some natural enemy and is afraid and wants to escape.

In either case, as long as there is no elder's power to restrict it, the Fallen Heart Flame will definitely come out of the tower.

His chance would come then! Han Feng seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and he clenched his fist tightly.

The suggestion was quickly accepted, and a time was set.
