25: Chapter 24 Supreme Furnace

At the same time, even for the other two Grade 5 Peak spirit tools crafted by Lin Yan, relying on Lin Yan's improvement and optimization of the core magic array, their power was definitely no weaker than ordinary Grade 6 spirit tools!

Perhaps having witnessed the tyrannical power of the spirit tool firsthand, or perhaps because these words came from Lin Yan himself, Wang Dong should have taken Lin Yan's previous remarks to heart.

Along the way, she did not know what she was thinking about and kept silent.

Amidst the silence, the two quickly arrived outside Principal Yan Shaozhe's office door.

This time, although the two came to settle accounts, Lin Yan still did not kick the door open; instead, he knocked on the door first.

This had nothing to do with politeness, purely because Principal Yan Shaozhe was a Grade 95 Titled Douluo, and Lin Yan could not beat him yet.

If he could beat him, hehe!

"Old man! Open the door!"

"Come in."

Hearing the voice coming from inside, Lin Yan carried Ma Xiaotao, whose head was covered at the moment, and pushed the door open to walk into the office.

As for why Ma Xiaotao's head was covered, it was naturally because he was unwilling to look at her foul face.

"Principal, you really know how to make trouble for me."

Meeting Principal Yan Shaozhe's slightly playful gaze, Lin Yan took the lead to start trouble, while putting Ma Xiaotao down and casually removing the cloth hood from her head.

Principal Yan Shaozhe was originally full of curiosity, wondering what kind of perverted tricks Lin Yan was pulling by dragging in a tied-up woman, but at this moment, the more he looked, the more familiar she felt, until Lin Yan removed Ma Xiaotao's hood.

Principal Yan Shaozhe was greatly shocked, "Oh no, isn't this my disciple?!"

"No way, bro!"

"I was planning to create an opportunity for you two to get to know each other, but I didn't mean for you to play such perverted games right after meeting!"

"Hmm?"

However, Principal Yan Shaozhe quickly noticed the abnormality. Looking at the bloodstains on Ma Xiaotao's body, her disheveled face, and those pink eyes that seemed ready to spit fire, his brows suddenly locked tightly, his tone sank, and he asked, "What on earth happened?"

"What happened? You'll have to ask your good disciple here. If I hadn't happened to run into it today, your disciple would have committed murder in broad daylight."

As the words fell, the chains binding Ma Xiaotao slowly loosened, turning into a crimson streak of light that flew back entirely into Lin Yan's hands.

Freed from her restraints, Ma Xiaotao, who was almost driven crazy with anger, instantly lost suppression over her fury upon seeing Principal Yan Shaozhe, and roared at Lin Yan, "Lin Yan, you bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Ma Xiaotao's Soul Power was empty at the moment, and Lin Yan easily caught the fist she smashed over with a raise of his hand.

Turning his head to look at Principal Yan Shaozhe, Lin Yan coldly reminded him, "Principal, if you don't keep her under control, I'll have to take action."

Looking at the chaotic scene before him and meeting Lin Yan's ice-cold expression, Principal Yan Shaozhe only felt a headache coming on.

His Soul Power moved slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he directly brought the out-of-control Ma Xiaotao in front of him. Looking at the disciple whose head was dizzy with fury, Principal Yan Shaozhe helplessly said to Lin Yan, "Tell me, what on earth is going on."

"What else could it be? You couldn't possibly not know what kind of Spirit your disciple has, right?"

Hearing this, Principal Yan Shaozhe's expression suddenly changed, and he anxiously pursued the question, "Are you saying Xiaotao's evil fire erupted?"

However, before Lin Yan could answer, after sensing Ma Xiaotao's state slightly, Principal Yan Shaozhe's brows locked tightly again, his face full of shock and suspicion: "No! How did the accumulated evil fire in Xiaotao's body completely disappear?!"

Lin Yan shrugged and calmly spoke, "Her evil fire went berserk, so I used some methods to refine it for her. Otherwise, how could I possibly wake her up."

As the words fell, Lin Yan's thoughts moved slightly. Accompanied by a muffled groan from Ma Xiaotao, the Emperor Flame Seed left in Ma Xiaotao's body flew out from her lower abdomen, and then instantly merged into Lin Yan's body and converged into his Spirit.

At the same time, the pure Soul Power generated by refining and devouring the evil fire fed back accordingly, quietly floating within his Dantian. It only needed a little refinement to be completely absorbed, directly saving him several days of bitter cultivation effort.

This method of separating a trace of Spirit Origin and branching out an Emperor Flame Seed was one of the "small methods" Lin Yan had researched during the process of comprehending his Spirit over many years, not worth mentioning.

And the reason why he went to develop this method back then was actually to open up a new shortcut to accelerate cultivation.

When refining Origin Beast Fire, under normal circumstances, because the Spirit Beast's Physical Body, Soul Power, and Soul had all completely turned into firewood, the refined Origin Beast Fire only left behind pure flame Origin, and did not possess extra energy to provide Lin Yan for raising his Soul Power.

However, thinking of Xiao Huohuo from the neighboring Doupo who could refine Heavenly Flames to raise his cultivation, Lin Yan naturally also carried out related tests on his own Douluo-version Fenjue.

The final answer was naturally that it was also possible. It only required separately collecting the beast fire bred by Spirit Beasts, and then having Emperor Yan refine it. Although it could not make Emperor Yan evolve due to not possessing the flame Origin, it could feed back extremely pure Soul Power to Lin Yan.

As for whether the cultivation raised by this method would muddy his own Soul Power?

Regarding this point, back then Lin Yan spared no cost to fully ignite the Prajna Heart Lamp, and after observing the devouring process of the beast fire once, he completely dispelled this concern.

In his observation, Emperor Yan's refinement of the beast fire was less like devouring and more like burning!

Intense burning!

Burning up everything combustible!

Incinerating all filth and Impurities!

And after this kind of ultimate burning, anything in the beast fire—including the beast fire itself—had already been burned to ashes.

When all "Impurities" were burned completely clean by a fire, what remained was naturally the purest and most refined Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.

But it was also a pity that this method was far too overbearing, and the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi that could remain after each refinement was pathetically little.

For instance, the evil fire accumulated in the body of a Spirit Emperor like Ma Xiaotao, after being completely refined by Lin Yan, could only equal a few days of his bitter cultivation accumulation.

Afterward, Lin Yan developed the technique of branching out the Emperor Flame Seed, intending to use it to penetrate into Spirit Beasts' bodies, continuously extracting and harvesting beast fire to achieve automated cultivation.

This way, even if the single-time return was meager, over time, it could also greatly accelerate the speed of cultivation.

But ultimately, after repeated experiments, he found that this method still required Lin Yan to consciously control the flame seed; otherwise, with the slightest carelessness, the flame seed would go berserk, directly burning the Spirit Beast into ashes and gaining nothing.

Therefore, due to the cumbersome control and extremely low cost-effectiveness, Lin Yan had no choice but to finally abandon this path of auxiliary cultivation.

However, what Lin Yan never expected was that this method he originally developed for Spirit Beasts would be used on Ma Xiaotao today, and it turned out to be unexpectedly useful!

Viewed this way, didn't Ma Xiaotao, who was naturally able to quickly accumulate evil fire, have the potential to recycle waste and become his Cauldron?!
