244: Chapter 244 A Surprising windfall! Han Yue and Ye Xinlan

"Give it to me, split!"

Time flies like a white horse passing a crack; seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

This was also the seventh day that Gu Han, assisted by numerous Elders of the Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy, presided over the Thousand-Layer Seal.

With Soul Power at the Perfection level of the Spirit Realm, he manipulated the Yin Yang Twin Flames to devour the power of the Thousand-Layer Seal, transforming it into a massive taiji diagram that hung above the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, emitting a terrifying aura.

Over these past few days, students from the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy often ran over to watch, casting looks of worship or admiration toward Gu Han.

Under Xiao Yan's promotion, the entire Jia Nan Academy had come to know that Gu Han's strength was above that of Grand Elder Su Qian.

At this very moment, the Yin and Yang taiji diagram, which had been brewing for seven days, pulled on the entire Thousand-Layer Seal and pressed down.

At the very bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, the Fallen Heart Flame sensed the crisis, but it could do nothing.

"Boom!"

Under the gaze of countless people, the Fallen Heart Flame transformed into a giant fire python and was dragged out, bound by chains formed from countless energies. The taiji diagram pressed down upon it, forcibly splitting it into two.

One was dark red, the other was gold-red, representing Yin and Yang respectively, and its Origin power was also perfectly sliced into two parts.

Simultaneously, several crystals flew out from the Origin of the Fallen Heart Flame, dissolving into liquid under the suppression of the taiji diagram.

These crystals were Heart Flame Spirit Crystals that the Fallen Heart Flame had accumulated over countless years, prepared to replenish its consumption and energy when breaking through the Seal. They possessed the effect of Body Tempering and refining Qi Meridians.

They were quite useful even to a Dou Zong; otherwise, the Fallen Heart Flame would not have had the confidence to attack the sealing Formation controlled by a Dou Zong along with countless Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs.

"Dissolve!"

Gu Han pointed forward, and the Heart Flame Spirit Liquid, formed after the crystals were refined, instantly dispersed. One-quarter entered his body, one-quarter entered Su Qian's body, a portion of the remaining quarter was swallowed by the taiji diagram and the yang-type Fallen Heart Flame, and the final quarter dispersed into the bodies of the Jia Nan Academy Cultivators who were actively controlling the Thousand-Layer Seal.

"Boom!"

The power of the Heart Flame helped Gu Han temper the Ice Attribute Dou Qi within his body. After several cycles, it helped him successfully Breakthrough to a Two-Star Dou Zong, stopping only when he reached the Peak to begin stabilization.

Su Qian also broke through the Bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time in one fell swoop, his strength reaching the level of a Four-Star Dou Zong, with his spirit and energy slightly improved.

As for those Dou Huang and Dou Wang Elders who presided over the Thousand-Layer Seal, all of them had their cultivation levels improved to some extent.

For example, the Outer Academy Vice Dean Hu Gan finally touched the threshold of a Dou Zong; if he had a Dou Zong Pill, he would certainly be able to break through.

And for example, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, who had been assigned important positions by Gu Han, both had one foot stepped into the level of a Dou Huang.

"Gu Han, I am going to fall into a deep sleep!" Zi Yan said, transmitting her voice to Gu Han somewhat anxiously.

"Rest assured." Gu Han pointed in the direction where Zi Yan was, and a spatial rift appeared.

Zi Yan stepped into it, and seeing that she had returned to her residence within the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm, she immediately fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind.

Boom!

Thick energy surged from within her body, turning into crystals that wrapped around her—beautiful, brilliant, and exuding a certain nobility.

"Teacher, it seems I am also about to Breakthrough." Xiao Yan said to Yao Lao.

"Then just follow what was agreed upon with Su Qian, and take the yin-type Fallen Heart Flame directly into the lowest level of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower." Yao Lao said.

"Okay!"

Xiao Yan stood up abruptly. He first transmitted his thanks to Gu Han, then transmitted the situation to Su Qian, before using his movement technique to arrive in front of the yin-type Fallen Heart Flame.

This yin-type Fallen Heart Flame was filled with violence in its eyes, staring fixedly at Xiao Yan with a hateful gaze.

Before taking action, Gu Han had specifically discussed with Xiao Yan and Su Qian that the intelligence of the Fallen Heart Flame would remain within the yin-attribute Fallen Heart Flame, and once Xiao Yan refined it using the Burning Technique, it would naturally dissipate.

The Jia Nan Academy wanted that Fallen Heart Flame, which was a combination of pure energy, to be completely controlled by the Thousand-Layer Seal and bound together with the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, so it could be passed down forever.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Yan exerted his Dou Qi to the fullest, taking the yin-type Fallen Heart Flame into the bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

Yao Lao did not go with him; with Xiao Yan's current strength, refining the yin-type Fallen Heart Flame, which only had half its energy and was also suppressed by the Formation, was an easy task.

His Soul possessed the Bone Chilling Flame; he hadn't been able to help when Xiao Yan refined the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Sea Heart Flame, and it was even more so now.

In the short term, he would head to Yunmu City to refine a seventh-grade pill for Gu Han.

"Grand Elder Su Qian, this Sect Master will take his leave first. If you have anything to find me for, you can send someone to Yunmu City to find my second brother, Xiao Li, to send a message."

With the main business finished and having received another wave of benefits, Gu Han prepared to leave; he had quite a few things to do.

"Very well. If Grand Elder Gu has any need for this old man, feel free to send someone to the Outer Academy to find Vice Dean Hu Gan to send a message." Su Qian cupped his hands in return; his Breakthrough in cultivation had put him in a very good mood.

From here on, he only needed to accumulate Dou Qi until the Peak of the Six-Star Dou Zong before encountering a small Bottleneck; this Breakthrough had saved him several years of bitter cultivation.

"I will soon have something to trouble Grand Elder Su with." Gu Han smiled and nodded. Beneath his feet, a lifelike Ice Phoenix condensed, and he tore open space and stepped into it.

A wave of discussion immediately erupted within Jia Nan Academy, and many students began to consider joining Yunmu City.

Being able to serve under such a stunning and brilliant Prodigy would surely be brighter than wandering out blindly on their own.

"Gu Han."

In the crowd below, a woman wearing glasses, with a cold and refined appearance and carrying a scent of medicinal herbs, had eyes that flickered.

"It's a pity you are not an Alchemist, otherwise you would be the best partner."

Although Gu Han wouldn't work, that Senior Xiao Yan, who had gone into the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower for closed-door cultivation, would be a good partner.

Once that senior graduated, she would ask him.

As it happened, she had information about an Exotic Fire.

Just then, a tall woman with an extremely exquisite face, a cold temperament, and flowing silver hair came to the side of this woman and said: "You are Junior Sister Ye Xinlan, who recently came from the Central Plains and joined the Inner Academy directly, right?"

"Hello." Her gaze swept over the silver-haired woman, and Ye Xinlan nodded slightly: "Are you Senior Sister Han Yue?"

"You know me?" Han Yue was somewhat surprised.

"I have heard your name; you are a key member who founded the Pan Gate together with Senior Xiao Yan." Ye Xinlan pushed up her glasses: "Does Senior Sister have any advice?"

"Here is a letter for you." Han Yue took out a letter and handed it to Ye Xinlan, her eyes filled with worship and admiration: "This is from Grand Elder Gu Han; he asked me to pass it to you."

Gu Han?

Ye Xinlan was stunned.

How could Gu Han know her? And have a letter written in advance to have Han Yue pass it to her?

She asked the confusion in her heart directly.

Han Yue smiled slightly: "Grand Elder Gu Han said that any questions you have can be answered in the letter."

At this, Ye Xinlan became even more puzzled; she immediately checked the envelope and took out the letter inside.

When she saw the content on it, her small mouth opened slightly, revealing an expression of shock.

"He, how does he know so much!?"
