A big timeskip !!!.

Few days later , all the selected candidates left with the teachers of Jia Nan academy in the flying beast that are sent by the academy to bring back selected students .

This trip of there's lasted for four months . In those four months , Xiao Yan concentrated to reach fifth star before arriving . And since on the mount beast , he didn't had lots of space to practise with his sword and all , so he could only do his regular Dou Qi training .

And after training for continuous four months , he made a breakthrough and became a five star Dou Practitioner.

After coming into the Jia Nan academy , he became very famous for being the youngest person to enter the academy at 12 , so his reputation rose in no time .

He even started practicing alchemy to his fullest . With all the legacy left by Yao Lao , it wasn't very difficult for him to had a good start in the field of alchemy .

Ofcourse it wasn't as easy as it appeared on the surface because learning by just reading the notes is quite difficult and so it was for him as well . It took whole five months to understand the process of alchemy .

After continuesly practising for five months , he could refine a tier one pill . Actually , he could easily join the alchemy department and make things easy for him but in his mind he had already excepted Yao Lao as his teacher and that means he won't except any other teacher , even if it means his late success .

And at the same time , he even maged to become a Dou Master in that means time . He was already a five star Dou Practitioner , so it wasn't much of a problem to become a Dou Master within the next five months .

Actually the thing was , he got plenty of resources due to his endless treasure chest that he had in his ' Bone Flame ring ' .

Even though his alchemy skill was not too high , but he had plenty of pill formula that he would often toss around here and there to obtain high level resources and pill .

He would casually exchange tier 1 or tier 2 pill formula to obtain whatever he wished for . Thus due to continues exchange of treasures , his cultivation speed increased to a formidable level .

In that means time , he even exchanged few beast flame . Exactly three with high level pill formula ( tier 3 and 4 ) . Even though the beast flame wasn't of very high level . Two were of ' Rank 3 ' and one was of ' Rank 4 ' but still he needed a beast flame to increase the level of the flame mantra .

After consuming all three flame , surprisingly his Flame Mantra level rose from a ' Yellow ' low level to ' Lellow ' middle level .

Even though it wasn't much , but still his stamina increased a lot after the evolution of flame Mantra , at least by two times . And for inorder to breakthrough a class , he could only really on ' Heavenly Flame ' .

From alchemy hall , it wasn't very difficult to get low level beast flame with fair price . Ofcourse for a rank four beast , he really had to pay a heavy price and that was a pill formula of tier 4 but it was nothing for Xiao Yan , who even had numerous amount of tier 8 pill formula stored in his ring . It was like taking out a drop from the ocean .

.....

Later when he became a Dou Master , his alchemy skill increased and he became a tier 2 alchemist . After then for next one year he continued his training to his fullest .

And with one year of effort , his strength rose from 1 star Dou Master to 8 star Dou Master and at last near the corner of the inner academy competition . He managed to create a ' Three lines green spirit pill ' , a high grade tier four pill .

The 'Three Lines Green Spirit Pill' is divided into three different grades. Each grade would result in an extra circular Pill Line forming on its body. If it is able to form three circular Pill Lines, it means that it is the highest grade of the 'Three Lines Green Spirit Pill'. Those below the Dou Grandmaster class should use these medicinal pills of the highest grade with caution! If a Dou Grandmaster were to consume this pill, he would have some chances of raising his strength by three stars in a short amount of time.

Inorder to prepare this pill , one must have three different kinds of flame . And naturally Xiao Yan had three flames . Actually , inorder to make it , he used ' Bone chilling flame ' as one the flames and the cauldron he used was the legendary cauldron of Yao Lao , Black Demon cauldron , which were the only reason he managed to make a tier 4 pill .

Actually his alchemy skill was not so good to be able to create a high grade tier four pill . But in these past three years , there was not a single day when he didn't tried to tame the ' Bone chilling flame ' and with continues effort for three years , Xiao Yan was very close to completely subduing the ' Bone chilling flame ' .

According to his perception , it was only a matter of time before he can start refining the ' Bone chilling flame ' .

.....

After he refined the ' Three lines green spirit pill ' , he consumed it and due to it's misterous effect , with caution he managed to enter the realm of Dou Grandmaster and after that he participated in the ' Inner academy competition ' .

But since his Qi method wasn't evolved so he could only manage to be in the top 20 of the selected students . As he was only a mere three Star Dou Grandmaster and with a middle ' Yellow ' grade Qi method , it was already a miracle that he succeeded .

And since he wasn't selected in top five so he lost his oppertunity to select a treasure from their ' Hidden library ' .

But he wasn't disappointed at all because just after the competition , he realised that the ' Bone chilling flame ' was ready to be eaten in the dinner .

So just after entering the inner academy , he didn't wasted his any time anywhere . But rather he started to find out a place where he could take a retreat to become what he want to be .

Even in the fire hunting competition , this time it was no exception then the previous times , as with his current strength he would be crushed like an ant in front of the seniors in no time , so without resistance he just accepted his defeat because he was seeing the greater picture the lies ahead of it .

He didn't needed fire energy at all , because according to him , just after entering the inner academy , he will refine the bone chilling flame and will at least because a peak Dou King or a initial Dou Emperor . And once he reaches that state , the fire energy would be good for nothing . At that time he could only devour the entire ' Fallen heart flame ' to quench his hunger .
