Chapter 190: The Elusive Nether Poison Flame

In response to Xiao Ming's modest reply, First Elder Su just shook his head with a smile.

After the two had another small talk for a few moments, Xiao Ming walked out of Su Qian's office.

Looking at Xiao Ming's back as he left, Su Qian felt a little excited inside.

'Xiao Ming has become very strong at such a young age, besides being a person who recognizes his roots, he was basically raised by the Jia Nan Academy. He is the best candidate to take over the position of First Elder of the Jia Nan Academy, even the Headmaster would be gratified to know that there is such an excellent young man in the Academy. However, Xiao Ming is still too young, and would not necessarily be willing to take over my position. Sigh... I would also like to seclude myself as Qian Bai Two Elders do'.

Speaking of the latter, Su Qian's tone became somewhat resentful.

'These two fellows only know how to hide and cultivate, they can't even be found for almost the entire year, and the Headmaster is also nowhere to be found. I'm the only one who is struggling to keep the Academy afloat all these years'.

'I'm so angry!'

'Fortunately, with the pills refined by Xiao Ming, all these old fellows like Hu Gan will be able to break through to Dou Ancestor in the near future. When that time comes, the pressure on me will be much less'.

...

Early the next morning, Xiao Ming got out of his bed without waking the still-sleeping Qing Lin.

Last night, Qing Lin approached him, and this time without any other excuse, and with a completely red face, expressed her desire to sleep with him.

Since that occasion several months ago, Xiao Ming had not let her sleep with him again.

The reason was that Qing Lin was already thirteen years old, and her body, influenced by her half-Snake-People bloodline, was developing much faster than an ordinary thirteen-year-old girl.

However, knowing that they were about to leave, even though Qing Lin would have the help of the Inner Academy Elders and the company of the Moon Spirit faction girls, which included Han Yue and Xiao Yu, he did not deny her request.

After Xiao Ming came out of his room, preparing to wake up the girls, Qing Lin slowly opened her eyes, and looking towards the closed door, she thought with conviction in her heart.

'Wait for me for a few more years, Young Master.'

After entering Zi Yan's room, Xiao Ming was seen walking out with a sleepy Zi Yan in his arms.

Xiao Yi Xian had already packed everyone's breakfast, so the group quickly left the Inner Academy on the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The sky was infinitely blue, with white clouds hanging lazily in it, swaying from time to time in the breeze. The sunlight streamed down on the clouds, shining on the mountains below.

In response, Xiao Ming explained, "The Nether Poison Flame usually only appears in ancient swamps that have been polluted by poisonous miasma for tens of thousands of years, by then, the flame will have consumed the endless poisonous miasma, becoming a spirit in a hundred years, taking form in a thousand years, and when it finishes its transformation, it will travel through the poisonous miasma of the swamp as a ghost flame, never staying in one place".

"This Heavenly Flame we're looking for, according to the speculation on this map, might already be in the last stage, do you really think it would stay in one place?"

Was it possible? Of course not.

Although it was said that most Heavenly Flames, after taking form, would not wander around, rather they would usually stay in their birthplace.

But that was because they had not developed spiritual intelligence.

With spiritual intelligence, who would stand still and stay in one place all the time? What would be the difference between this and being imprisoned?

Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian also understood this and immediately frowned.

"So, doesn't this mean that it will take years to find it this time?" Zi Yan wrinkled her little nose, if she was told that it was to find medicinal herbs, then she would definitely be motivated, but asking her to find a Heavenly Flame... This was a bit difficult for her.

"If we are lucky, the Heavenly Flames will sense each other, in this case, I might sense it as soon as we arrive, so we will still have time to search for treasures in the Nether Poison Swamp, you can see that on this map, not only the location of the Nether Poison Flame is marked." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

He was still very confident in finding the Nether Poison Flame, after all, he had managed to find it many times in the simulator.

Unlike the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, which would appear in Tager Desert, it appeared in the simulator a few times, and in all of them, he didn't even manage to see a hair of it.

If he still had some thoughts about this Heavenly Flame before, they were completely abandoned now.

Whoever found that Heavenly Flame would be quite lucky.

Zi Yan's eyes lit up at Xiao Ming's words to look for medicinal herbs, and she nodded her head repeatedly.

"Hmm! My specialty is finding medicinal herbs, you'll see, none of those medicinal herbs will escape from me!"

Looking at Zi Yan's excited look, Xiao Ming patted her head.

"Don't get happy too soon, I forgot to tell you a moment ago, the Nether Poison Swamp we are going to this time is at the western end of the Chu Yun Empire, even with Shi Zi's flying speed, it will take us two months to fly there, during these two months, be honest and don't wander around, understand?"

"Ah?" Zi Yan's face, who enjoyed Xiao Ming's caresses, immediately turned sour, it seemed that she was just like the elusive Nether Poison Flame, as she liked to wander around.

Xiao Yi Xian, who was beside him, couldn't help but laugh at Zi Yan's change of expression.

Xiao Ming really didn't think that Zi Yan would stay on the Amethyst Winged Lion King's back all the time, but he still had to remind her.
