Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 100 Inner Court

As the ball of light dispersed, a strange copper sheet the size of a palm was revealed. The copper sheet was pale yellow, and it was covered with many twisted, earthworm-like green rusts. It was these rusts that corroded and concealed some of the patterns on the copper sheet.

"You're really lucky, kid." The old alchemist couldn't help but sigh, "You broke through to become a seventh-grade alchemist and encountered the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Birth, so I refined the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Pill for you, and now you've encountered the Spirit-Nourishing Dust."

Xiao Jue's face also flashed with surprise, after all, the Spirit-Nourishing Powder was still too rare, and he did not expect to encounter it at Canaan Academy.

He put the copper sheet away and turned to walk into the dark passage.

As Xiao Jue left, the vortex-like energy shields surrounding the huge room began to slowly shrink. After a moment, the energy shields turned into a small dot and completely dissipated with a soft cracking sound.

At this moment, the entire huge room became empty. No one would have guessed that this place was once filled with countless treasures that would have caused a sensation in the outside world.

"Crunch."

The tightly closed ancient door was suddenly and gently pulled open, and warm sunlight poured in through the crack, casting a long streak of light in the dark passage, all the way to the end of the light.

Qianmu Bailie looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "Dean, won't you take more? There are still quite a few medicinal herbs left in there."

Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "Having that thing is enough."

Bai Lie nodded, and Qian Mu said, "My brother and I would like to ask the Dean to refine Yuan Zun Pills for us after he becomes an eighth-grade alchemist. We have already gathered all six ingredients."

"If the Dean ever needs anything from us, please feel free to use our skills."

"No problem." Xiao Jue agreed immediately. He wanted to become an eighth-grade alchemist, and after his soul power reached the Spirit Realm, he would have to try refining medicines, which would require a large amount of medicinal materials.

Although we have the medicinal herbs provided by Gu Yuan, we can't just sit around and wait for them to run out; we still can't miss out on some high-grade medicinal herbs.

As for the medicinal herbs from Canaan Academy, they are sufficient for refining fifth and sixth-grade pills, but none can be used as the main ingredient for refining seventh-grade pills, so those things will not be placed here.

"Thank you very much." Qianmu Bailie's old face flashed with excitement. They had been stuck at the peak of Dou Zong for many years, unable to find the opportunity to break through. Now they finally had the chance to break through to Dou Zun.

Afterwards, Xiao Jue and Su Qian left the library and went directly to the inner courtyard, arriving at an extremely large sunken basin.

The shape of this basin looks as if it were created by a giant meteorite falling from the sky.

Within the basin, towering buildings stand in rows. From a high vantage point, one can see shadowy figures, like fleas, constantly flitting and leaping above the buildings.

As the gaze extends forward, it becomes apparent that the basin is unusually large; even at the far end of the field of vision, all that can be seen are towering buildings and lush greenery.

Su Qian pointed and said, "That's the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower over there. You should know that the Dean found the Fallen Heart Flame here and established Canaan Academy, which is the foundation of the academy."

"That's the student dormitory..."

Su Qian roughly told Xiao Jue about the layout of the inner courtyard, and then said, "Because the students in the inner courtyard are quite strong, basically after entering the inner courtyard for a year, they have all broken through to the Great Dou Master level, and there are also a large number of Dou Spirits. There are even Dou Kings on the Strong Ranking."

"Therefore, the place where the inner court elders live is not far from the student dormitories. Although it is called the student dormitories, it is more like an area. You can see individual buildings, some of which are the strongholds established by the inner court students who are ranked on the power list."

Xiao Jue nodded and said, "I'll stay somewhere closer to the Monster Beast Mountain Range. It'll be easier for me to enter the mountain range when I need to refine pills."

"Alright." Su Qian nodded. "There are pavilions built by many students before, but few people live there because it's too far from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. But it's just right for you to go."

Xiao Jue and Su Qian arrived at the edge of the inner courtyard, where there was a huge four-story pavilion, each floor of which was more than 200 square meters, and it also had a large courtyard.

Seeing Xiao Jue nod in satisfaction, Su Qian smiled and said, "If you're going to stay here, you'll have to clean the place thoroughly. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can use fire energy to hire those students."

Su Qian handed Xiao Jue a purple crystal card and said, "This is the highest-level fire crystal card in the inner academy. In the inner academy, fire crystal cards are divided into five colors from low to high: black, blue, cyan, red, and purple. For example, a black crystal card only qualifies you to cultivate on the first or second level of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, while a blue crystal card is for the third or fourth level, and so on."

"Furthermore, cultivating within the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower also requires the consumption of fire energy. The deeper you go, the more fire energy you consume. The Heavenly Flame Refining Tower has ten floors in total, and this Purple Flame Crystal Card can also reach the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower."

"The dean explicitly ordered that fire energy should not be allowed to proliferate, so the amount of fire energy each person has is regulated. In addition to the fixed amount, fire energy can also be obtained through tasks issued by the academy, or through sparring."

The latest novel is first published here!

"All students in the Inner Academy can receive seven days of fire energy each month. If they make it onto the Strong Ranking, they can receive even more fire energy. This ranking is based on the strength of the Inner Academy students. Only by challenging members on the Strong Ranking can one take their place. It's not that you can get on the list just because you have a higher cultivation level. There are a total of fifty spots on the Strong Ranking."

"Those inner court instructors can receive 500 fire energy each month. Their strength is at the Dou Ling level, and this amount of fire energy is enough for them to use for cultivation. After all, cultivating in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower for too long will cause fire poison. Instructors with Dou Ling strength can only cultivate in there for a maximum of half a month each month."

"The elders who are Battle Kings in the academy can receive two thousand fire energy each month, which is enough for their cultivation and use. In fact, most of the elders have more fire energy than they can use, and they end up accumulating it."

"Once you reach the Dou Wang level, the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower offers limited help in cultivation. Even if Hu Qian, Elder Huo, and Wu Tianlang stayed inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower for a year, it wouldn't help them break through to the Dou Huang level."

"Therefore, their fire energy cards allow for unlimited use of fire energy, but there is one condition: they cannot give fire energy to students at will, even their own relatives."

"The same applies to your Fire Crystal Card and your own. When your disciples and clansmen come to the inner courtyard, I hope you will not give them too much fire energy unless necessary."

"Although fire energy is of little use to us except for cultivating inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, it can be considered a kind of currency in the inner courtyard. Too much of it flowing in can easily affect the value of fire energy."
