Chapter 114: Exclusive Training Room! Refining the Dou Ling Pill!

Chapter 114: Exclusive Training Room! Refining the Dou Ling Pill!

Due to the seventh floor of the Burning Heaven Qi Refining Tower having strict entry requirements, the Inner Academy places great importance on this aspect. Xiao Ze couldn't persuade them to make an exception and let Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan enter.

However, the number one training room that Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan would occupy was sufficient. It is worth mentioning that after Xiao Ze was promoted to elder, training room number two returned to the hands of Lei Jia. This left Lei Jia with mixed feelings. Not because he had recovered it from Xiao Ze, but because Xiao Ze had advanced to a higher level and ceded it to him. Lei Jia felt that Xiao Ze had done him a favor, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Xiao Ze was unaware of Lei Jia's feelings, as he was observing the seventh floor of the Burning Heaven Qi Refining Tower. Compared to the previous six floors, the seventh was more luxurious and refined.

On each floor of the tower, there is a black hole in the center that connects to the base, transmitting the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame. On the first six floors, the training rooms are at a certain distance from the central hole; even the advanced rooms are far away, with instructors strictly monitoring in between. But on the seventh floor, the luxurious training rooms are located around the central hole.

After all, being an elder of the Inner Academy is already considered a high rank within the academy. The Fallen Heart Flame is not a secret to them, so there is no need for special isolation. Moreover, the strength of the tower's seal increases downward, allowing training rooms to be built near the central hole.

Xiao Ze noticed that although the rooms on the seventh floor were more luxurious, they were also fewer in number and all near the central hole.

When Xiao Ze was about to approach for a closer look, a familiar figure emerged from a training room. Seeing Xiao Ze, the person was surprised, but upon noticing his elder uniform, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Ze, congratulations on your rapid promotion to elder."

"Elder Lin, long time no see."

Xiao Ze greeted respectfully; this was Elder Lin, who had treated him well when he entered the academy.

After chatting for a while, Elder Lin mentioned the training rooms.

"Xiao Ze, is this your first time in a room on the seventh floor?"

"Yes, are there any special rules for using them?"

Xiao Ze asked straightforwardly. There was nothing to hide in this matter.

"Not really. The training efficiency of all the rooms on this floor is similar, so there's no competition for them. Each elder can have their own exclusive room. Find one without a name and place your energy card on the door to use it. Each room here has a considerable cost but offers great improvement in training. You'll understand once you try it."

After listening to Elder Lin's explanation, Xiao Ze nodded. He was grateful for this information; otherwise, he might have thought he needed to compete for a room with higher efficiency like on the previous six floors.

"Thank you for the explanation, Elder Lin."

"You're welcome, we are colleagues now. Besides, who knows, I might need your help in the future."

Elder Lin hinted, remembering that Xiao Ze was also an alchemist.

"Well, I have to go to my guard duty. The academy's fire energy is not easy to obtain."

Xiao Ze smiled understandingly. As an elder, he could receive fifteen hundred units of fire energy per month, but he also had responsibilities, such as guarding the tower, managing the herb warehouse, and overseeing the academy entrance, all important places requiring an elder's supervision.

In the early years of the academy, when there were fewer elders, each had to be on duty all year round. Now that there are more elders, each only needs to be on duty for three months a year, the rest of the time is free.

After bidding farewell to Elder Lin, Xiao Ze began exploring the seventh floor. He discovered that the energy in the training rooms was directly connected to the central hole, unlike the previous floors where efficiency decreased with distance from the center.

He understood why Elder Lin said the efficiency of all the rooms was similar. However, this connection made the rooms extremely costly, accessible only to elders.

He found a room without a name, placed his energy card in the door frame, and saw his name appear on the crystal screen. The door opened automatically.

"How advanced..."

Xiao Ze noticed a layer of light at the entrance that prevented energy leakage. Upon entering, he felt an abundant energy that almost didn't need to be absorbed, as it was introduced into his body by itself.

"Wow, with such abundant energy, it's no wonder Elder Lin said it's excellent for Battle Kings."

Inside, the room was not simple; it had all the necessary furniture and could serve as a personal residence. Xiao Ze didn't rush to train. He took out the Yunling Cauldron and arranged the ingredients for the Dou Ling Pill, highlighting a dry, red, snake-like branch: the Blood Python Branch, the main ingredient of the pill, very rare.

"With my recent practice and the feedback from my brother's alchemy technique, my skills are solid. Although I don't have the Heavenly Flame, the Yunling Cauldron can increase my success rate..."

Xiao Ze prepared mentally. With two sets of ingredients, he hoped to succeed in two attempts.

He introduced his battle energy into the cauldron, generating an intense flame to heat the cauldron. Already being a Battle King, his fire was strong enough to refine a fifth-level pill. With his alchemy skills and the Yunling Cauldron, he could attempt the Dou Ling Pill.

After a while, Xiao Ze began to sweat as the cauldron's energy became turbulent. However, with his strong spiritual perception, he kept everything under control. The cauldron emitted a soft glow, increasing the flame's strength and aiding his spiritual perception.

The high-level cauldron did not disappoint. Suddenly, a strange sound was heard, and the mixture began to boil violently, releasing powerful energy. Xiao Ze slightly relaxed his control, allowing the energy to disperse. Then, he regained control.

"Condense!"

Xiao Ze exclaimed internally, and the boiling mixture finally took pill form under his spiritual perception.

"I did it!"
