242: Chapter 242 Zi Yan: Gu Han's Treasure Trove Lives Up to Its Name

Su Qian's first reaction was that Gu Han wanted to help Xiao Yan take away Jia Nan Academy's Fallen Heart Flame.

Compared to the Fallen Heart Flame Young Flame, a better and stronger Fallen Heart Flame was definitely the mature Fallen Heart Flame beneath the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, whose strength was comparable to a Dou Zong.

It wasn't possible that Gu Han also knew information about a third Fallen Heart Flame.

But before he could speak, Xiao Yan asked impatiently, "What method? And what does Brother Gu want to trade?"

"I'm talking about the Fallen Heart Flame down there." Gu Han pointed to the cave beside him where blood-red flames were emerging, causing Su Qian's heart to sink completely.

"Is this appropriate?" Xiao Yan's smile froze as he glanced at Su Qian and said, "This is the foundation of Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy; I can't take it away for my own sake."

Unless an alternative method could be found.

Su Qian felt relieved; it was good that Xiao Yan didn't have that intention himself.

Given the strength currently displayed by Gu Han and the Cloud Mist Sect, if they were determined to demand the Fallen Heart Flame, the academy might not truly be able to defend it.

Moreover, with the Fallen Heart Flame about to erupt, Gu Han only needed to stand by and watch to potentially pick up the scraps.

"Of course, I'm not saying to directly take away this mature Fallen Heart Flame." Gu Han shook his head gently. "Grand Elder Su Qian just asked me to help Seal it and has already paid me, so I certainly can't help you seize Jia Nan Academy's Heavenly Flame."

These words completely put Su Qian at ease, and then he cursed himself for being foolish.

Gu Han wasn't that kind of person at all; what was he blindly worrying about?

"The method I'm talking about has benefits for both you, Brother Xiao, and Jia Nan Academy." Gu Han raised his hand to signal Xiao Yan to stop talking and explained directly, "You know I possess the Yin Yang Twin Flames. With my current Dou Zong strength, I can spend some effort to divide the Fallen Heart into a Yin Flame and a Yang Flame, each possessing half of the Heavenly Flame's Origin."

"In this way, one Fallen Heart Flame becomes two. They will just be a bit weaker than now, but the nature of the Origin remains unchanged. If Brother Xiao's Cultivation Technique requires devouring the Heavenly Flame's Origin, the effect is exactly the same, only the increase in your strength will be slightly smaller."

"If you need to use the power of the Heavenly Flame, you only need to feed the Yin Flame with extreme Yang Heaven And Earth Treasures, and it will recover quickly."

"As for Jia Nan Academy, as long as the Yang Flame remains, the effect of using the Heart Flame to help students become stronger will still be there, and the side effects will be reduced."

"If you also want a stronger Fallen Heart Flame, feeding it extreme Yin Heaven And Earth Treasures can accelerate the recovery process."

"Furthermore, after the Fallen Heart Flame is split in two, you can leave a Soul Imprint immediately to gain absolute control."

"In short, with my intervention, Brother Xiao, you can obtain a Fallen Heart Flame Yin Flame that recovers quickly with resources, and Jia Nan Academy will have a Yang Flame that will be absolutely obedient in the future. It's a win-win for both parties."

Hearing this, it would be a lie to say Xiao Yan and Su Qian weren't happy.

Su Qian was pleasantly surprised. He had originally only wanted to ask Gu Han to reinforce the Seal and significantly delay the eruption of the Fallen Heart Flame to give Jia Nan Academy some breathing room, but he hadn't expected the other party to have a permanent solution.

Xiao Yan was even more pleasantly surprised. He wanted the Fallen Heart Flame primarily to evolve the Burning Technique. The core of the evolution was devouring the Heavenly Flame's Origin. It didn't matter if the Heavenly Flame was a bit weaker; being able to brand it with a Soul Imprint would also make it easier for him to devour.

It was truly a case of light at the end of the tunnel.

However, such a good thing couldn't be asked for with empty words.

Splitting a Heavenly Flame sounded incredible. Gu Han's intervention certainly wouldn't be easy, and he couldn't just get it for free.

Gu Han: With Jia Nan Academy's Thousand-Layer Seal cooperating with me, using the Yin Yang Twin Flames' taiji diagram to split the Fallen Heart Flame is just a matter of a single thought.

"Grand Elder Gu, if things are truly as you say, the other half of the Heavenly Flame can be taken by Xiao Yan." Su Qian was the first to state his position. "In addition, I personally will give you a piece of information and owe you a favor. As long as it doesn't harm the interests of Jia Nan Academy, I will help you."

The Fallen Heart Flame belonged to Jia Nan Academy. Logically, Gu Han had no right to dispose of it, let alone use it to trade with Xiao Yan. But Su Qian was willing to facilitate the deal and even added some extra benefits.

After all, this was a permanent solution to the problem of the Fallen Heart Flame's eruption.

Gu Han: See, I'm using the Fallen Heart Flame for a trade, and he has to thank me while giving me the Heavenly Flame.

"What does Brother Gu need me to help with?" Xiao Yan also asked immediately.

"To be precise, I need to ask Senior Yao Lao for help." Gu Han spoke with a smile. "Senior Yao Lao should have a method to resurrect himself and return to his Peak, right?"

Resurrection!?

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

This was Venerable Yao, who was once famous throughout the Fighting Qi Continent. If he could be resurrected, he would once again be among the top experts of the continent (on the surface).

Even the Head Dean of Jia Nan Academy was obscure compared to Venerable Yao back then.

"Indeed!" Yao Lao's Soul Body, which was almost identical to his original self, appeared. Without waiting for Xiao Yan to hesitate, he took the initiative to answer, "The method I possess requires a seventh-grade Peak quality 'bone-growing blood-merging pill'. This Medicinal Pill has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and reshaping the Physical Body."

"A drop of Essence Bloodline from a rank seven Demonic Beast to strengthen the intensity and potential of the resurrected body."

"A Skeleton of a Dou Zong to serve as the basic framework for the Physical Body after resurrection."

"Given the above three conditions, the most crucial part is the need for three types of Heavenly Flames to perfectly fuse the Soul and the Physical Body. Furthermore, the talent must not be inferior to when one was alive. Even if one cannot return to the Peak immediately, by following the path of Cultivation once more, one can eventually return to the Peak period, though breaking through might be somewhat difficult."

Hiss!

Hearing the method Yao Lao described, everyone was shocked.

A rank seven Demonic Beast is equivalent to a Dou Zong, meaning resurrection requires the fall of two Dou Zongs, plus a seventh-grade pill that even a Dou Zun Expert might be tempted by. The price paid was not insignificant.

And this applied to experts with high Soul Realms; otherwise, resurrection would be impossible.

Of course, the most critical part was the three types of Heavenly Flames. If the previous methods still had a chance of being achieved, gathering three types of Heavenly Flames seemed unimaginable.

"So it's only that?" Gu Han nodded slightly while resting his chin on his hand. "Then it's not difficult."

Everyone present: ?

This isn't difficult? Are you trying to go to heaven?

"A Dou Zong's Physical Body, I have one." With a wave of his hand, Gu Han took out a relatively intact body.

Everyone: ?

"I also have the essence blood of a rank seven Demonic Beast; it even belongs to a Heavenly Demon Phoenix." With another wave of his hand, Gu Han took out a porcelain bottle, in which several drops of golden blood were suspended.

Everyone: ??

"As for the bone-growing blood-merging pill." Gu Han asked Yao Lao, "Senior, what Heaven And Earth Spirit Medicines are needed for the refinement?"

"Uh." A strange feeling rose in Yao Lao's heart, and he said, "It needs..."

Every time Yao Lao mentioned a medicinal ingredient, Gu Han would take one out from the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm, until finally, he had taken them all out.

"The medicinal ingredients are all here. If Senior Yao Lao refines them, the Medicinal Pill will be ready too." Gu Han nodded slightly.

Everyone: ???

"As for the three types of Heavenly Flames, that is actually the simplest part."

Everyone: !!!

Do you even hear what you're saying!?

Zi Yan: Gu Han's treasury lives up to its reputation.
