Fights Break Sphere: Get Extraction System at the Beginning.

Elder Liu, with a sturdy build and a resolute face, is a famous practical instructor in the academy; Elder Zhao, with a gentle and elegant manner, is an alchemist. Both of them are senior elders of Canaan Academy and have helped Xiao Ling when he was young.

Elder Liu and Elder Zhao looked at each other and saw the surprise and relief in each other's eyes.

Elder Liu was the first to come back to his senses and responded with a smile: "Xiao Ling, you don't have to apologize to us. We are here to protect and observe. You were able to return from practicing under the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, which shows that your cultivation has improved. It is really gratifying."

Elder Zhao asked hesitantly, "Xiao Ling, what are you doing?" He was obviously very surprised that Xiao Ling could walk in the air without any external force.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and explained, "I devoured most of the essence of the Fallen Heart Flame in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, and my cultivation level has improved. Now I have reached the Dou Zong realm."

Hearing Xiao Ling's confirmation, the two elders couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although they had already had a premonition in their hearts that Xiao Ling's strength would be greatly improved after his retreat, and he might even be expected to reach the realm of Dou Zong.

However, when Xiao Ling actually stood in front of them and confirmed his breakthrough, the premonition in their hearts seemed to become insignificant.

Xiao Ling's achievements were shocking, especially his youthful appearance - at only a teenager, he had already reached the Dou Zong realm that many people dreamed of.

This talent and strength are really unbelievable, but we have to admire them.

Seeing the shock on the faces of the two elders, Xiao Ling simply raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.

He did not dwell on the matter for long, but lightly passed over the topic, as if all this was just an inevitable result for him.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling smiled slightly and took out an ancient pot-shaped container from his arms, which was the Fire Gathering Pot containing the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Elder Liu, Elder Zhao, the fire pot contains the Fallen Heart Flame. I have already devoured most of its essence, so I have to hand it over to the academy for care."

There was a hint of relief in Xiao Ling's voice as he handed the fire-gathering pot to the two elders.

"Most of the essence of the Fallen Heart Flame has been absorbed by me. Although its power is not as strong as before, its intelligence has been affected and has become as innocent as a child." Xiao Ling continued to explain in a calm and firm voice.

"As long as the academy can carefully cultivate it and establish a deep emotional bond with it, it will provide enough Heart Flame power for the students of the academy and accelerate their cultivation process. As time goes by, the Fallen Heart Flame will not only be able to restore its former strength, but it is also likely to grow into the guardian spirit fire of Canaan Academy, adding a layer of protection to the academy when the academy faces difficulties."

Upon hearing this, the smiles on Elder Liu and Elder Zhao's faces became even more intense.

They have been training in the Tianfen Qi Training Tower for many years, shouldering the important task of protecting the Fallen Heart Flame, and have long developed a deep affection for this strange fire.

"Xiao Ling, your words really make us feel extremely relieved." Elder Liu said with deep emotion, "In the past, the Fallen Heart Flame had a violent temperament and it was difficult for us to get along harmoniously. Now that we have such an opportunity to reestablish emotional connection, we must cherish it."

Elder Zhao also agreed and said, "That's right. We have spent many years with the Fallen Heart Flame and have developed a special bond with it. Now that it has become so docile, it is a good time for us to deepen our relationship with it."

As they spoke, the two elders carefully opened the fire pot, and a faint flame floated out of it. Although the power was not as strong as before, it still emitted a unique light and warmth.

The Fallen Heart Flame slowly floated out, and its shape became extremely small, like a small flame that had just been ignited, flickering with a soft and faint light.

It swayed gently in the air, seeming both curious and a little shy about its sudden freedom.

The Fallen Heart Flame was like a child who had never seen the world. Being stared at by the two elders with eyes full of expectation and love, its movements seemed a little hesitant and uncomfortable.

It danced gently in the air, as if greeting the two of them.

Elder Liu and Elder Zhao looked at this strange fire that was once extremely powerful but now became so small and fragile, and they couldn't help but reveal deep pity in their eyes.

At this time, the two elders began to joke with each other.

Elder Liu held Xiao Xinyan in his palm and looked at Elder Zhao with a smile.

"I have taken care of the Fallen Heart Flame for fifteen years. I know it much better than you do. I should be the one to teach it."

Elder Zhao was not willing to be outdone and retorted: "I have taken care of it for twenty years and I know its temperament very well. I am more qualified to train it."

After saying that, he stretched out his arm, trying to snatch the Fallen Heart Flame from Elder Liu.

The two elders argued endlessly, but the smiles on their faces never faded.

Xiao Ling stood aside, watching the interaction between the two elders, a faint smile appearing on his face.

At this moment, the voice of Skyfire Venerable rang in Xiao Ling's mind: "Entrust the Fallen Heart Flame to these people. I believe it will receive the most careful care. This is indeed an ideal arrangement for it."

There was a sense of relief in his tone, as if he was genuinely happy that the Fallen Heart Flame had found an environment that could give it care and protection.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and responded silently in his heart: "Please rest assured, senior. Canaan Academy will treasure the Fallen Heart Flame like a treasure. If you miss it in the future, you are welcome to visit at any time after you have rebuilt your body."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling said no more. He nodded gently to the two elders, then walked out of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

Along the way, as they passed by the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, a training place, many students' attention was attracted by Xiao Ling.

When they saw Xiao Ling, they stopped their practice, saluted him and greeted him warmly.

"Elder Xiao Ling, long time no see. It seems that you have become stronger." A male student couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, Elder Xiao Ling, your demeanor is becoming more and more extraordinary!" Another student echoed, with a hint of envy in his tone.

At this time, the voice of a female student was particularly loud: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Elder Xiao Ling, you seem to have become more handsome again!" There was a hint of shyness in her words, but she could not hide the infatuation in her heart.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, nodded to them, and responded: "Thank you all for your concern. I am also very happy to see your progress. The road of cultivation is long and arduous. I hope you can persevere and constantly break through yourself."

At Canaan College, Xiao Ling always treats the students in a kind manner.

Whenever he was in the Alchemy Department and students came to ask for advice, Xiao Ling would patiently answer their questions as long as time permitted.

It is Xiao Ling's humble and approachable character that has earned him the respect of many students at Canaan College.

His words were warm and inspiring, and all the students present felt an infusion of strength.

Xiao Ling's figure gradually disappeared from their sight, but his words and encouragement were like seeds, taking root and sprouting in their hearts.

As these students spread the news by word of mouth, the news of Xiao Ling's coming out of seclusion quickly spread in the inner courtyard and became the focus of everyone's heated discussion.

Everyone was speculating, after nearly a year of seclusion, what level of strength Xiao Ling would reach now.

……

Canaan College Inner Courtyard

As a subtle spatial fluctuation gently spread out, Xiao Ling's figure appeared silently in the courtyard of Elder Su Qian.

In the courtyard, Great Elder Su Qian was buried in a mountain of official business. Suddenly, he sensed an unusual movement in the courtyard, and his eyes, as fast as lightning, cast an investigative glance towards the source of the movement.

Seeing Xiao Ling, Great Elder Su Qian showed a look of surprise on his face. He put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and laughed loudly: "Haha, Xiao Ling, you are out of retreat? Judging from the aura emanating from your body, you must have broken through to the Dou Zong realm, right?"

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, smiling, and responded: "That's right, thank you to the academy and Elder Su Qian for your trust, which allowed me to devour the origin power of the Fallen Heart Flame, and now I have successfully broken through to the Dou Zong level."

Elder Su Qian laughed heartily, his voice full of relief: "Good, good! I'm glad you're okay. You are the pride of our academy. This matter will be of great benefit to you and the academy. Naturally, I fully support it."

Xiao Ling smiled faintly, "Without the cultivation of the academy, there would be no Xiao Ling today."

Suddenly, Elder Su Qian seemed to remember something, a gleam of teasing flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled and said,

"By the way, Xiao Ling, those girls are very concerned about you. Recently, they often come to me and ask about your retreat. They are quite worried about you."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but let out an awkward smile. He coughed lightly and cleverly changed the subject: "Great Elder Su Qian, I need to report to you in detail about the latest situation of the Fallen Heart Flame."

Afterwards, Xiao Ling told Elder Su Qian the details of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Elder Su Qian listened with a hint of eagerness in his eyes, and he was obviously very interested in the current situation of the Fallen Heart Flame.

He was a little impatient and wanted to see with his own eyes what the Fallen Heart Flame was like now.

The two chatted in the courtyard, and the topic ranged from the cultivation of the Fallen Heart Flame to the future of the academy.

The gentle glow of the setting sun gradually filled the courtyard. Elder Su Qian slowly stood up and prepared to leave. He said to Xiao Ling, "Xiao Ling, I need to check the condition of the Fallen Heart Flame, so I won't talk to you for long."

Xiao Ling did not stay here for long. He watched the figure of Elder Su Qian gradually walked away. Then he turned around and set out on the journey back to his own courtyard.

Chapter 183 The Changes of Qinglin and Xiao Yixian

Xiao Ling stood at the entrance of the courtyard, the sunlight shining through the treetops, casting patches of light on his body.

I took a deep breath, the air was still filled with the familiar scent of flowers and faint herbs.

His eyes passed through the fence and fell on the center of the courtyard.

There, under an ancient pine and cypress tree, a woman was pounding medicine in a poetic manner.

She was wearing a lavender gown with delicate orchids embroidered on the lapels, which swayed gently in the breeze like soft waves in spring.

Her long hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, soft and shiny, gently tied up with a ribbon of the same color. A few strands of hair fluttered in the wind, setting off her white neck.

The sunlight filtered through the pine and cypress branches, dappling over her body, creating a moving interweaving of light and shadow.

Her fingers were slender and long, and every time she pounded the herbs, it seemed so light and powerful, as if she was playing a silent melody.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard seemed to sense her presence and leaned towards her, as if paying tribute to this beauty.

All around her, the air was filled with the faint scent of herbs, mixed with the scent of earth and pine needles, forming a peaceful and beautiful picture that was unforgettable at first sight and will be remembered forever.

Xiao Yixian seemed to feel Xiao Ling's gaze. She raised her head and their eyes met in the air.

A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then was replaced by an elusive smile. She stood up, gently brushed off the dust on her body, and walked towards Xiao Ling.

"Xiao Ling, you're back." Her voice was soft, with a barely perceptible tremor, as if concealing the turmoil in her heart.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, walked into the courtyard, and waved to the Little Medical Fairy: "Xian'er, long time no see. Did you miss me during the time I was away?"

A blush appeared on Xiao Yixian's face. She lowered her eyes and bit the corner of her lips lightly, as if she was hesitating about how to answer.

After a moment, she raised her head, her eyes twinkling with stars, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if with a bit of teasing, and she said softly: "Xiao Ling, you are asking questions knowingly, you are really shameless."

Although her voice was full of blame, it could not hide the joy of reunion.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Ling's face. His voice was soft and magnetic, with a hint of subtle ridicule: "How would I know if you have ever thought of me? But I must admit that I do think of you sometimes..."

Seeing Xiao Ling's figure in the courtyard, Qing Lin's eyes flashed a bright light, and her mood instantly became cheerful.

She seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, and ran to Xiao Ling with light steps, her face filled with unconcealable joy.

"Master Xiao Ling, you're finally back!" Qing Lin's voice was crisp and full of energy. She almost jumped in front of Xiao Ling, her eyes sparkling like stars.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, looking at Qing Lin's face, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He reached out and patted Qinglin's head gently, his eyes full of kindness and doting.

"Yes, Qinglin, I'm back."

Xiao Ling's gaze stayed on Qinglin for a moment and he noticed the changes in her.

The girl in front of me has become more graceful. Her long hair falls to her waist like an emerald waterfall, and every strand of hair seems to sparkle with the luster of life in the sun.

Her eyes were like the clearest lake water in spring, lush and green, revealing a purity that was untainted by dust.

She was wearing an elegant dress, the fabric was as soft as clouds, and the color was the tender green of willow buds in early spring. The hem of her dress swayed gently in the breeze, as if she was a fairy walking out of a painting.

The delicate golden embroidery on the skirt is like the mottled light and shadow cast by the sun on the green leaves, adding a touch of nobility without losing its lively temperament.

Her skin is whiter than snow, like the finest mutton-fat jade, with a faint luster. Her figure is tall and well-proportioned, and every movement exudes elegance and naturalness.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the once timid girl has transformed into a stunning young lady.

The polishing of time not only endowed her with a graceful figure, but also precipitated a hint of maturity and unwavering faith in her clear eyes.

Qing Lin felt the warmth coming from Xiao Ling's palm, and the warmth flowed through her hair and went straight to her heart. She lowered her head shyly, but did not dodge, instead she gently snuggled into the warmth.

With Xiao Ling's return, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more lively. Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin sat around Xiao Ling, their eyes full of curiosity.

The Little Medical Fairy opened her red lips and broke the silence: "Xiao Ling, how do you feel about swallowing the strange fire this time? What changes have you experienced? Are you injured?"

Xiao Ling looked at the two girls in front of him, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice that was difficult to conceal:

"Not only did I successfully devour the strange fire, but my cultivation also made a qualitative leap. Now, I have entered the realm of Dou Zong." Xiao Ling's words revealed pride and determination.

When Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin heard the good news, their eyes suddenly lit up with surprise.

Dou Zong is a height that practitioners aspire to reach. Even in Zhongzhou where there are so many powerful people, one can establish a sect. In the Northwest Continent, one is one of the strongest people.

Qing Lin couldn't hold back her excitement and blurted out: "Master Xiao Ling, you are so amazing. You are always so outstanding and make people so envied." Her tone revealed a full girlish feeling, with both admiration and joy.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled and looked at the two girls, his tone full of encouragement: "Haha, sooner or later you will be able to reach my current level. Dou Zong is just a starting point for you."

In Xiao Ling's opinion, the cultivation of Xiao Yixiang and Qing Lin had made a significant leap compared to before he stepped into the underground magma world.

Today, Xiao Yixian has been promoted to the realm of Douhuang, thanks to the various poisons provided by Xiao Ling, the financial sponsor, which he was able to devour and refine, and his cultivation has increased rapidly like eating and drinking.

If Xiao Ling and Yao Chen had not intentionally controlled the amount of poison that Little Medical Fairy consumed, and if the poison resources in the Black Horn Region had not been limited, Little Medical Fairy's cultivation would probably have already broken through to the Dou Zong level.

As for Qing Lin, with the help of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils and various elixirs, although his current cultivation level is not as good as Xiao Yixiang's, he has firmly reached the realm of the initial stage of Dou Wang.

During Xiao Ling's retreat, she even tamed two sixth-rank snake monsters. With the help of these snake pets and the magical powers of the Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil, she was able to handle ordinary Dou Zong with ease.

Xiao Ling's eyes slowly swept over the two beautiful girls, with deep satisfaction in his eyes:

"You have worked hard during this period. During the time I was away, you still persisted in practicing hard. This kind of perseverance and hard work is very rare."

Little Medical Fairy shook her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips, and said: "This is not that hard. My progress is inseparable from the valuable resources you provided and the careful guidance of Senior Yao Chen. On the contrary, you have just broken through to the Dou Zong realm, so you need to consolidate your foundation even more."
