Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 108 News about the Strange Flame!

Jiahe nodded and said, "I'm just a seventh-grade alchemist!"

Upon hearing this, the old apothecary nodded slightly and said, "Seventh grade, that's not bad!"

Xiao Yan, standing beside him, was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt as he looked at Yao Lao.

The old apothecary suddenly snapped out of his daze and stared blankly at Jiahe, saying, "What did you just say? Seventh rank!"

The old alchemist's tone suddenly became somewhat excited. Even the Pill Tower probably had never had such a young seventh-grade alchemist.

Seeing his teacher's reaction, Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction. That was the right response!

Jiahe laughed and said, "That's right, it's just a pity that the Imperial Prison's Pill Hall cannot assess seventh-grade alchemists."

The old alchemist said, "I can help you with the test, but I cannot give you the badge and robes of a seventh-grade alchemist. If you are willing, you can go to Zhongzhou."

Jiahe immediately understood what Yao Lao meant and chuckled, "Yao Lao is referring to the Pill Tower in Zhongzhou, isn't he?"

The old alchemist nodded, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and then said, "Although the Pill Tower cannot compare with the Medicine Clan in terms of strength and heritage, it is deeply trusted by alchemists on the continent. The Pill Tower's alchemist level assessments are naturally respected by alchemists across the continent!"

"The Pill Tower is indeed excellent, but I hope that in the future, the Pill Hall of the Imperial Prison can grow into a powerful force like the Pill Tower!"

"It's better to be strong yourself than to be strong in others. Perhaps one day, the alchemist assessment in the Imperial Prison will become the standard for alchemists on the continent in the future!" Jiahe said with a smile.

The old alchemist was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's ambitious. However, the master of the Pill Tower, that old gentleman, is a ninth-grade alchemist. Besides, there are quite a few eighth-grade alchemists in the Pill Tower."

"That is precisely why the Pill Tower has become a sacred place in the hearts of all alchemists on the continent. In some ways, the Pill Tower's appeal even surpasses that of the Soul Palace!"

Upon hearing what the old man said, Jiahe naturally knew that what he said was true.

Jiahe looked at Yao Lao and smiled, "I wonder if the Pill Tower will join the Imperial Prison in the future?"

"This is probably impossible!" The old doctor was slightly taken aback, then shook his head.

Jiahe said calmly, "Nothing is impossible. A ninth-grade alchemist will appear in the Imperial Prison in the future. The Pill Hall Conference is in a few days. If Elder Yao is willing, he can come and listen with Xiao Yan!"

Looking at the confidence in Jiahe's eyes, Yao Lao suddenly felt that joining the Imperial Prison would be a huge surprise.

"Alright, I will bring Xiao Yan with me then," Yao Lao said.

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly said, "After some time, I should go to Canaan Academy!"

Jiahe looked at Xiao Yan and nodded, saying, "You should go to Canaan Academy. There are two different flames in the Black Corner Region. I hope you can capture them both!"

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were both astonished and exclaimed, "Two kinds of strange fire? How is that possible!"

Gah laughed, "Canaan Academy is divided into inner and outer courtyards. The outer courtyard is nothing special, but the inner courtyard has a tower called the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. Sealed beneath that tower is the Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking!"

"Fallen Heart Flame?" Yao Lao exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao and frowned, "Teacher, is there anything special about this Fallen Heart Flame?"

The old doctor said with some delight, "That's for sure. This Fallen Heart Flame is known as a cheat code for cultivation. Its flames are invisible and colorless, appearing through the heart, leaving no trace, but they help cultivators condense their battle qi."

"That powerful?" Xiao Yan felt a surge of excitement.

For the Burning Technique, devouring flames can make it even more powerful, as ordinary flames have little effect on it!

Previously, because he couldn't find a different kind of fire, Xiao Yan, with the help of Yao Lao, subdued five kinds of beast fire, which allowed him to raise the Burning Technique to the low-level of the Profound Rank.

If one could consume the Fallen Heart Flame, one could likely elevate the Burning Technique to a high level, or even a low-level Earth Rank.

The old doctor then said, "But isn't there only one type of strange fire?"

Jiahe said, "There is a force in the Black Corner Region called the Medicine Emperor Sect. Its master is known as the Medicine Emperor, a sixth-grade alchemist named Han Feng!"

Upon hearing this name, the old doctor's soul trembled slightly, and an extreme hatred appeared in his eyes.

"This person also possesses a strange flame called the Sea Heart Flame. Although it doesn't rank as high as the Fallen Heart Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking, it's still ranked fifteenth!" Jiahe said.

Xiao Yan was also surprised that two different kinds of strange fire suddenly appeared in the Black Corner Region.

Although he was very happy, Xiao Yan still sensed that something was wrong with his teacher.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yan asked.

Jiahe said, "Old Yao must have thought of an old friend!"

The old apothecary said in a detached tone, "Indeed, I was reminded of an old friend!"

Xiao Yan was immediately startled, because he detected a hint of killing intent in his teacher's tone.

"Xiao Yan, remember this: if you encounter Han Feng, who calls himself the Medicine Emperor, in the Black Corner Region, kill him if you can!" Jiahe said to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan didn't ask why, he just nodded and said, "Okay."

The old apothecary sighed softly and said, "I will tell you the details of this matter after we return!"

In fact, Xiao Yan had already guessed some of it, but he couldn't be sure. Since his teacher had decided to tell him, he would just wait and see.

Jiahe then said, "I'll have someone arrange accommodations for you at the Pill Hall. You can refine pills and buy medicinal herbs there. As for your identity badges, I'll have them delivered to you once they're made!"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, while Yao Lao returned to Xiao Yan's storage ring, looking somewhat dejected.

Then Jiahe waved his hand, and a maid came over and led Xiao Yan to his residence.

Having just emerged from the main hall, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, who were waiting outside with some concern, approached and asked, "How did it go? What did you talk about?"

Seeing the hopeful looks on his two elder brothers' faces, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I was just asking. I've already joined the Imperial Prison and will be working in the Pill Hall in the future!"

"That's good, that's good!" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were immediately relieved to hear this.

Three days later.

In the Dan Hall, on the plaza, thousands of alchemists gathered. These were alchemists who had come to the capital from all over the empire.

In a corner near the front of the square, Linfei and Xuemei peeked around cautiously.

"Have the teachers not arrived yet?" Linfei asked anxiously.

Xue Mei remained relatively calm and reassured Lin Fei, "Don't worry, the teacher will definitely come!"

"Hey, hey, isn't that Xiao Yan?" Lin Fei suddenly pointed in a direction and said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Xue Mei immediately looked in the direction Lin Fei was pointing and indeed saw Xiao Yan's somewhat handsome face.

"It's him, that's right!" Xue Mei nodded and said.

Linfei smiled and said, "I didn't expect to run into him here. Shall we go say hello?"

Xue Mei nodded slightly, and then the two women walked towards Xiao Yan's direction.

A moment later, Xiao Yan felt a fragrant breeze wafting by. He turned his head and saw two beautiful young women standing in front of him.

"Linfei, Xuemei?" Xiao Yan called out their names accurately, he hadn't expected to see them here.
