Gu Xun'er kept pacing in her room, recalling the reports of her subordinates, and began to re-examine Xiao Yan.

"Miss, Xiao Yan is refining medicine in the Jia Ma Empire. Well, he uses a very new method."

"In the early days, Xiao Yan took the Xiao family as his foundation. Xiao Yan didn't ask for any compensation for refining medicine. He just asked the Xiao family if he needed anything."

"Later, Xiao Yan tied up with the royal family and broke through to the fifth-level alchemist in just a few years, and then quickly broke through to the sixth-level alchemist. All the forces in the Jiama Empire moved closer to him."

"Xiao Yan still insists on refining medicine without asking for any reward. If you need anything, just tell the Snake Clan, Yunlan Sect, Jiaji Royal Family, and Miter Family, and these forces will spare no effort to find it."

"Even the Mulan Empire has reached a certain tacit understanding with the Gama Empire, and the relationship between the two parties has quickly eased."

"This may be related to Xiao Yan's extremely high success rate in refining medicine. So far, whenever Xiao Yan attempts to refine medicine, the success rate must be above 50%."

"Furthermore, Xiao Yan refines medicine very quickly. Many big forces behind him spend months or even a year raising rare medicinal materials. Xiao Yan can get them the medicine they want in ten days."

Gu Xun'er sighed lightly, and finally murmured: "So, you have really become the unique alchemist of the Jiama Empire, using your will to create new rules..."

The day after Xiao Yan arrived at Canaan College, Hu Qian announced the new rules for this year's inner court competition——

Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin, Gu Xun'er, and Hu Jia are recommended for the top five. After the forty-five are determined, the rest can challenge them at will. If they win by luck, they can take their place.

As for the top five, there is no specific ranking.

As soon as the new regulations came out, many students who signed up for the inner court competition expressed their understanding of this, because Hu Qian posted the ages and cultivation levels of these five people by the way.

The weakest one, Qing Lin, is a peak nine-star fighting master and is only fourteen years old. With such an outrageous talent, they have no objection even if he directly enters the inner courtyard.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yan had no choice but not to fight. Among the others, only Qing Lin was challenged by a stupid Qing named Wu Hao.

Although Wu Hao was a few stars lower than Qing Lin, and his fighting skills were not as good as Qing Lin's, he had rich experience in combat and was decisive and ruthless. It took dozens of moves before he was defeated.

Seeing this, Bai Shan seemed to want to challenge Qing Lin, but he gave up the idea after noticing Xiao Yan's kind eyes.

The competition for hegemony in the inner courtyard ended so peacefully. The top five were still the five recommended students, which made all the ordinary students feel very emotional.

According to the rules of the academy, within seven days after the trial, the top fifty students in the trial need to prepare to enter the inner courtyard, while the top five can choose a time to enter the academy's library.

All five of them were in good condition, so they chose to enter the library directly after the game.

Under the leadership of Hu Qian, the five people walked into a spacious and bright room with bookshelves crisscrossing the room. Each bookshelf was filled with a variety of ancient books, filling the room with the aroma of books.

However, Hu Qian did not stay in this room. He walked straight to a wall and took a few photos on it.

There was a rumbling sound, and when the sound stopped, the wall had disappeared and was replaced by a dark passage.

After half an hour in this passage, a few people finally arrived at the end of the trip - a loft located among cliffs on three sides.

Hu Qian clasped his fists at the library and shouted: "The top five in this inner court selection have been born. According to the rules, I will bring them here and ask the second elder to open the door!"

As Hu Qian finished speaking, two gray-robed figures sitting cross-legged suddenly appeared at the door of the library.

However, the two of them were as motionless as if they were dead.

Xiao Yan was speechless. These two Breakthrough Masters had been in seclusion for many years. It was as if they had degenerated. They did not respond to the outbreak of Fallen Heart Flame.

The few people waited patiently for another ten minutes before the two figures finally made some movement and scanned the crowd with their unwavering gaze.

However, when they saw Xiao Yan, one of them couldn't help but said in surprise: "Special fire?"

The man in gray robe looked at Xiao Yan carefully again, and his eyes became more and more doubtful: "I don't know my little friend's name?"

"Junior Xiao Yan, he is seventeen this year, a first-star Dou Wang, and a sixth-grade alchemist."

"..."×2

The two men in gray robes had obviously never seen this scene before. They were both shocked and speechless. After a while, one of them asked:

"This flame of yours seems to be a strange fire, but it is somewhat like the Qinglian Earth Core Flame, and also somewhat like the Sea Heart Flame. Why?"

"Oh, this is the Qinglian Earth Core Fire I found in the submarine volcano." Xiao Yan said seriously.

"..."×7

Now not only the man in gray robe, but also Hu Qian and the other four couldn't stand it any longer. Especially Gu Xun'er, who instantly threw away all his changed views on Xiao Yan, and was extremely convinced that this was a bastard who talked about running things.

Of course Xiao Yan didn't say this to be funny, but deliberately concealed that he could fuse the strange fire. Otherwise... Did you have some evil plans against the fallen heart flames of Canaan College?

After all, if the Fallen Heart Flame breaks out and intends to destroy Canaan College, running up to refine the alien fire is a great achievement as a student; but as an outsider coveting the foundation of Canaan College, it is a life-and-death enemy.

The two men in gray robes struggled for a long time, but in the end they still couldn't think about the fusion of different fires, so they could only sigh: "There are all kinds of surprises in the Fighting Qi Continent."

Then, one of them grabbed Qing Lin and pulled out more than ten snake-like monsters, and said, "I will return them to you after you leave the library."

Qing Lin puffed up his mouth, but didn't say anything when Xiao Yan touched his head.

"The top five in this class are also at the top level in the entire history of Canaan College." The man in gray robe nodded to Hu Qian, obviously quite satisfied.

Hu Qian was relieved when he saw this, and said with a smile: "In that case, please ask the second elder to open the space lock!"

"This space lock is a barrier that only the strong Dou Zong has the ability to set up. This space lock was left by a senior in the academy hundreds of years ago. If the two elders inside had not opened it with special techniques, even the strong Dou Zong , you can’t break in." Hu Qian explained with a smile.

Xiao Yan naturally thought of Zi Yan. There were many medicinal materials in the library. I wonder if Zi Yan had slipped in.

The two men in gray robes didn't pay attention to what they were thinking. They just slowly formed several hand seals and finally opened an invisible portal on the space lock.

"Go in! You have one hour to pick out what you want, but you can only take one thing out of the library."

"Don't be too ambitious. Everything is protected by an energy layer. If you can't open it, you won't be able to take out the contents. Every year, people enter the library, and there are many who return empty-handed."
