Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Exploration and Talks

After walking along the spiral staircase for about five minutes, the sight in front of him suddenly widened. When he turned around a corner again, another floor of spacious tower space appeared in Xiao Yan's field of vision. The area of ​​the second floor of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Pagoda is not much different from the first floor, but compared with the first floor, it is a little bit deserted, and it does not have the crowded feeling of the first floor, although There are students in twos and threes walking through it continuously, but compared to the situation on the first floor where it is difficult to even walk, it is undoubtedly much better.

The appearance of Xiao Yan surprised some of the surrounding students who came out of the training room for a short rest, but there was no commotion. After sweeping their eyes on Xiao Yan, everyone turned away. They whispered to each other, as if they were wondering why Xiao Yan could still come down at such a time. Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze from looking around, and didn't pay too much attention to the surrounding gaze, walked into the second floor of the tower with a stride. Entering the tower, Xiao Yan took a breath of the slightly hot air. He could feel that the fiery heat contained in the second layer of air was much higher than that of the first layer. On the first floor, the temperature is much higher. I really don't know how hot the last layer will be?

I'm afraid only some elders dare to enter that kind of place, right? Moving footsteps, Xiao Yan walked slowly along the circular corridor. On the left side of the corridor was the outermost low-level training room, but Xiao Yanzhi was not here, so he did not stop and continued to walk along the corridor. Walking inside, it took about seven or eight minutes now to arrive at the middle-level practice room area a little further inside. Standing in front of an intermediate-level training room with a sign of lack of people, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but he didn't immediately enter it to practice. After pondering for a while, he quietly walked towards the center of the space inside the tower. Go, since he is thinking about the Falling Heart Flame, he needs to find out what the bottomless black hole in the center is.

All the way out of the intermediate training room area, and then into the advanced training room area, the training rooms here are undoubtedly more refined than the outside, and the number is also greatly reduced. Xiao Yan counted it carefully and found that there were only eighteen advanced training rooms. At this time, outside these training rooms, there are special signs representing people practicing. Obviously, these training rooms have already been occupied by people. Further inside the advanced training room, there is a towering wall. At the iron gate below the wall, three middle-aged men with mentor badges on their chests are standing here with indifferent faces. Xiao Yan, the three of them shot their gazes at the same time, with a strong sense of warning.

Looking at the heavily guarded defense, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly in his heart. He had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​inquiring, looked around casually, and then turned around to face the intermediate training room when he came. Area line to go. Although the footsteps were slowly leaving, Xiao Yan could still notice that the gazes of the three instructors had been fixed on him all the time. Such cautious guarding really made Xiao Yan a little speechless. "It seems that there must be some secrets in the central position that cannot be disclosed to the public, otherwise, it wouldn't be so closely guarded. Sigh, this damn Fallen Heart Flame is really troublesome." Xiao Yan murmured in his heart. Pausing slightly, he looked up at the small intermediate training room not far to the left. This small training room can only accommodate three to five people to practice, and it is obviously incomparable with the space on the first floor.

Looking left and right, Xiao Yan found that there seemed to be only a sign of lack of people hanging on it, so he moved his feet and walked quickly towards the intermediate training room. Approaching this intermediate training room, Xiao Yan gently pushed the door open, then entered it lightly, and closed the door behind his back. In the training room, soft lights illuminated all corners of the room. In the center of the training room, there were five black stone platforms with an interval of about two or three feet. At this time, there were four stone platforms, and there were already people crossing their legs. practice.

Therefore, Xiao Yan raised his legs and walked towards the empty stone platform. Perhaps it was because of the sound of the door opening. After Xiao Yan entered the training room, the four students who closed their eyes and practiced opened their eyes. They looked at Xiao Yan who came over vigilantly, so that they didn't notice it on him. After receiving the badge representing the power, he breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yan also glanced at the four of them, and also found that they did not have any badges on their chests. Presumably they belonged to free people, that is, students who had never joined any forces.

However, even though Xiao Yan didn't wear a badge of influence, the four of them didn't take the initiative to speak, they just watched his every move with their eyes. "The four great fighters, regardless of their unstable aura, they must have entered the rank of great fighters not long ago." Sitting cross-legged on the pitch-black stone platform, Xiao Yan casually glanced at the backs of the other four, and immediately There was a murmur in my heart. Flipping his palm, the cyan fire crystal card appeared in Xiao Yan's hand. "Green Flame Crystal Card?" The moment the crystal card appeared in Xiao Yan's hands, four exclamations immediately rang out in the training room. These voices contained a little surprise, envy, and covetousness... …

Sensing the four salivating gazes from the side, Xiao Yan couldn't help raising his brows, and snorted lightly, a forceful aura surged out of his body. Feeling the tyrannical aura gushing out of Xiao Yan's body, the expressions of the four people on the side could not help but slightly changed. They hurriedly retracted their salivating gazes, not daring to show the slightest greed. It is much stronger than them. After seeing these guys in awe, Xiao Yan slowly withdrew his breath, and the green fire crystal card was inserted into the groove in front of him, and a faint ray of light burst out immediately, and during the sudden shooting of the ray, Xiao Yan However, he suddenly discovered that the amount of fire energy on the fire crystal card had been deducted for two days at once!

Frowning slightly, Xiao Yan murmured in his heart: "Could it be that the more you go down, the more money you need to practice for a day? This inner courtyard is really harsh enough." Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yan's eyes gradually closed, and his hands formed a practice seal in front of his body. After a while, his breathing gradually stabilized, and he entered the cultivation state again. In the huge spacious and bright room, more than a dozen elderly people sat scattered in it. Under the soft light, you can clearly see the badges on their chests. They are all special badges that only elders are qualified to wear.

Although the room was large, the atmosphere was a bit dull. After a long time, an old man who could not see his face clearly coughed lightly, and took the lead to break the peace in the room. The old voice slowly echoed in the room. It echoed inside: "In the past few days, that thing has started to become a little unstable again..." Hearing his words, the rest of the elders all frowned. "After observing this period of time, I found that the fluctuations emitted by "it" are much more intense than before, and judging from the emotions emitted by it, it is becoming more and more irritable..." The old voice still cared about itself He said: "Looking at the situation, I'm afraid it will have a major counterattack in the next few years. If it is not done well, it will be a great trouble." "Let's work together to strengthen the defense again? If it doesn't work, just inform the dean of the inner courtyard. This thing cannot be exposed, otherwise, those guys in the Black Corner Region will rush over to snatch it red-eyed. Our inner courtyard Although it is in the deep mountains, it is just not far from the Black Horn Region in the north. Once something happens, those old guys who have been paying attention to the inner courtyard will come immediately after hearing the news. The seal of the gas tower may not escape their attention..." an old man mused. "The defense must be strengthened...but the dean is in deep retreat, and the dean of the outer courtyard also likes to travel, and now no one knows where he is." The old man in the first place slowly shook his head and was silent for a moment , he suddenly raised his head and cast his gaze at an old man in the corner, and said, "Elder Liu, how is that little guy with the strange fire doing now?" "Cultivating on the second floor, perhaps because he also possesses different fires, he is not afraid of the fire poison, and I have given him enough care as the Great Elder ordered." The name had a relationship with Xiao Yan. Elder Liu of Zhiyuan hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully. "Yeah." The first black-robed old man nodded slightly, his old voice was a little low: "Oh, I really didn't expect that a fallen heart flame made me rise in the inner courtyard, and now a young man who is only twenty years old Guy, it’s really enviable to be sitting alone with this strange thing.” "Elders, if you meet this little guy, you can give it as much convenience as possible. Perhaps, we may have to rely on his power when the falling heart flame riots in the future... Sigh, the energy of the strange fire cannot be underestimated, it is so amazing It is born from the spirit of heaven and earth, and possesses destructive power. If you are not careful, the inner courtyard may be destroyed." The elder, who was wrapped in black robes all over his body, sighed and said. "yes!" The dozen or so elders below who were respected by the inner court students all stood up at this moment and responded respectfully. "Well, well, let's all disperse separately. By the way, remember to pay attention to the movement of those big forces in the Black Horn region in the north, especially those guys. The Blood Sect has also had some changes recently. I heard that it is the son of that old guy. It's really not worrying to die for some reason..." The Great Elder waved his hand, coughed a few times, and said. All the elders nodded slightly, and then their figures swayed, turning into blurred black shadows and disappearing into the tight room with a gust of wind blowing by. After all the people in the room had disappeared, the great elder who was wrapped in a black robe slowly stood up, and as he stood up straighter, his body became more and more illusory. After standing up from the chair, the body has disappeared into the room strangely...
