I Am Actually the Old Patriarch of the Xiao Family

To put it simply, the appearance of this matter was the decision of Old Man Huo himself.

So Xiao Lin also wanted to see what this eccentric old man wanted to do.

"Wang Teng grew up under the watchful eye of this old man, and this old man is very clear about his strength, and he fought against Xiao Yan some time ago, and Xiao Yan didn't win.

Since the emperor has such confidence in Xiao Yan, we might as well make a bet. "

Xiao Lin laughed playfully, this old guy has a straightforward temper, but the person who can survive in the Black Corner Region for so many years is not a fool after all.

It is estimated that he wanted to anger Xiao Lin with his previous words, and let Xiao Lin accept this bet.

Although this method is not on the table, it has to be said that sometimes it is quite easy to use.

So Xiao Lin was also very curious, what kind of thing could make a pharmacist use such an unappealable method to make Xiao Lin make him a bet?

One must know that a pharmacist of this level and strength is far more precious than a fighting sect.

People like them have the best face, and it must not be easy for them to let go of their face.

"What does Mr. Huo want to bet on?"

"This one is actually quite simple. If Xiao Yan loses today's duel, let him not enter the inner court, but come and do something with me."

"Old man Huo...you are going too far."

Before the old man Huo could finish his words, Hu Gan interrupted him, his voice was actually a little harsh, even with a hint of warning.

It's just that considering that Xiao Lin is here, he didn't explain this matter too clearly.

But Xiao Lin could also see that there must be something hidden behind this incident.

Otherwise, Hu Gan wouldn't be wary of him talking to old man Huo as if he was facing a big enemy.

"President Hu Qian doesn't need to be so nervous. Let's watch the game first. If there is a result in the game, we will discuss the so-called gambling."

Xiao Lin came out at the right time to smooth things over, without making the atmosphere any more embarrassing.

It's just that he is still staring at the old man Huo, for fear that he will say something shocking again.

But at this moment, the battle between Xiao Yan and Wang Teng had already begun.

Regarding Xiao Yan's strength, Xiao Lin hardly had any worries. He carried a different fire on him, and when he suppressed his strength before, he was able to fight back and forth with the people around him, not to mention that he let go of the fight now.

Regardless of the fact that he is only a fighting master now, for Xiao Yan, his combat strength has never been judged by his realm.

Leapfrog fighting is commonplace for Xiao Yan, even when he was in the family, he had already defeated the great Doushi several times at the level of a Doushi.

Abnormal fire is indeed a very incomprehensible method.

Almost all substances will be restrained by it, unless there is another kind of abnormal fire or a more advanced force that is purely crushed by strength, it can achieve the effect of easy victory.

Otherwise, it would not be an easy task to defeat Xiao Yan through a war of attrition.

Although his Fenjue is not a high-level skill at this time, it has evolved a lot after devouring the strange fire, at least it can maintain the power consumption and replenishment of his current state.

Relatively speaking, the lethality of the different fire is much stronger than that of ordinary grudges. It is obviously impossible to fight against him. No matter how talented Wang Teng is, he is only growing up in the Canaan Academy up.

He has rich combat experience, but not so many resources. After all, the resources in this school cannot supply him with too much, and after all, he has no elders by his side.

He won't be like Xiao Yan, sitting on the wealth of the entire empire, Xiao Lin, Xiao Ding and others will give him the best of everything.

How can a person who only relies on hard work beat a person who has krypton gold?

The result of this kind of realistic thing happened was Wang Teng's failure.

"Looks like I've won the gamble or not."

On the stands, Xiao Lin waved the folding fan in his hand, smiling gently and elegantly.

The old man Huo who originally proposed the gamble also seemed very calm, as if Xiao Lin's words didn't ring in his ears.

"In that case, congratulations to the emperor."

Those who are eligible to participate in this final have actually already had a place to enter the inner court. The reason why they want to decide a winner is because those with higher rankings have better conditions and can enjoy the benefits provided by the academy. Welfare.

But today's Xiao family is not short of such things. Let alone the existence of the Tianmen secret realm, let alone the Changsheng Empire outside, sitting on the wealth of the entire empire, they want to collect some fighting skills and resources. , has never been a difficult problem.

Fifty into 25 will soon determine the winner, and at this time there will be a bye, but Xiao Lin doesn't bother to watch the specific game process.

He turned to talk to Hu and asked about the pharmacist.

------------

314 Curse of Darkness

Speaking of this matter, Hu Qian hesitated.

It's normal for him not to explain too clearly. After all, this kind of thing is a secret of others. If he speaks it out rashly, it is likely to arouse the anger of some people.

But the old man Huo took the initiative to provoke before, Xiao Lin didn't explode on the spot, it was because of the face of Jia Nan Academy, now that Xiao Lin came to inquire about the reason behind this matter, he was too embarrassed not to say anything.

After struggling for a while, he finally made a decision.

"Actually, it's been a while since old man Huo became a sixth-grade pharmacist back then.

At that time, he was still very young, looking for different fires all over the world, and wanted to improve himself in the level of alchemy,

He didn't know where he heard the news that there would be a different fire in the southern region, so he looked for it with great interest, but in the end he couldn't find any traces of the different fire, but he offended a family of a dark race in the southern region because of this.

After he fled back to the academy, the academy protected him, and later he planned to retreat and practice in the academy.

But things are not that simple,

The people of the dark race are extremely vengeful, and they failed to kill him because they were afraid of the power of the Canaan Academy, but they aimed at Old Man Huo's wife,

They planted a curse of darkness on Old Man Huo's wife. This curse is not difficult to unravel, but it takes different fires to slowly refine enough power,

It wasn't a big deal at all, as long as you find a pharmacist with a different fire, you can solve this problem, but how can it be so easy to find a pharmacist with a different fire?

The power of the curse is deepening day by day, the old man Huo has no choice but to take the risk to solve the problem for his wife.

Fortunately, he is very talented as a pharmacist. After raising his realm, he has produced many elixirs that can suppress the curse, but these things can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. "

Hu Qian let out a long sigh, and then said: "As time goes by, the power of the curse is getting stronger and stronger, even if the elixir refined by old man Hu is getting better and better, it will not be able to suppress the power of the curse after all.

This kind of dark curse is difficult to remove. The power of the curse is not strong at first, and it will not cause any impact.

But this kind of curse was planted by a strong man of the dark race who was about to break through into Douzong. If there is no strange fire, there is no solution for the curse left by a strong man of this level, even if Dou Zun comes. "

"Is it so dangerous?"

The more Xiao Lin heard it, the more strange it became. It might be difficult to solve it in other places, but isn't there a kind of strange fire in Jia'an College itself?

If it is said that the old man Huo took a fancy to Xiao Yan because of his No. 19 Qinglian Dixinhuo, but the Falling Heart Flame of Canaan College, ranked No. 14, is definitely better than Qinglian Dixinhuo. Fire is much more useful.

"Danger is second, and the main one is difficulty. This kind of curse exists on the basis of life.

Unless Old Man Huo's wife dies, there is absolutely no way to directly cancel it.

Even if it is Dou Zun, if the strong want to get rid of the power of this curse, they will probably kill old man Huo's wife directly.

The dean also saw this incident back then, so he finally came to a conclusion,

Either let Old Man Huo's strength continue to advance, reach the realm of a seventh-rank alchemist, and then be able to refine that kind of elixir that can have a huge vitality to offset the curse on his wife's vitality,

Or he can only keep refining alchemy and let his wife live like this by eating elixir, but this way is very painful. Although he can live, he will be in a deep sleep state for at least half a year exist. "

"President Hu Qian seems to be very familiar with this matter."

"Of course I'm familiar with them. Both of them and my husband were my classmates at school back then. Later, we stayed in school to work together. Otherwise, these things would not have happened."

Canaan Academy can protect them from death, but the torture caused by the curse is actually not that easy to offset.

In fact, curse, this kind of thing is very rare in the fighting spirit continent. This is also a variant of fighting skills, but it has some special powers.

If Xiao Lin were to talk about it, it would be more like a poison, but this kind of thing is like the poison attached to the bone, if you want to get rid of it, you must use some very special and uncommon methods.

"However, if it is only necessary to remove the threat of the curse from the different flames, it is not something difficult to talk about. Even though Xiao Yan's strength is not good now, if I tell the truth about this matter, I think Xiao Yan will not help."

"This matter...is not that simple.

The solution is not to use the different fire to help remove the curse, but to transfer the power of the curse from a person's body to the body of the person with the different fire.

In a sense, this is exchanging the life of one person for the life of another.

If there is anything special about it, it is that people with different fires can refine the power of this curse by themselves. Therefore, compared with the life-threatening danger faced by ordinary people, the chance of surviving is much higher. "

No wonder it happens.

Xiao Lin was also very speechless after hearing this, feeling that the old man Huo wanted to exchange Xiao Yan's life for his wife's.

If this is the case, then it is no wonder that such a low-level method is used.

"Actually, these words should not have been said to Dijun, and I hope Dijun can see that he is eager to save people, and don't care about him."

Hu Gan is also very helpless, he has paid so much to maintain the relationship between Xiao Lin and the academy, and he can't let the newly improved relationship be destroyed by old man Huo's personal behavior.

As for Old Man Huo, there was really nothing he could do.

The latter is in charge of the Alchemy Department of Canaan Academy, and in terms of influence, it is far stronger than his vice president.

"Don't worry, I'm not such a stingy person, but you just said that the reason why there was a curse back then was because Huo Lao went to find the strange fire?

But that place in the southern region... Where did the strange fire come from? "

"I'm not sure about this. If the emperor wants to know, he has to ask in person, but the possibility of him saying it is relatively low."

Xiao Lin nodded, thoughtfully.

The game quickly reached the middle of the game, and at this point a period of intermission was required.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Lin moved to the side of old man Huo on the stand, opening his mouth was his condition.

"If I can help you save your wife, what can you give?"

------------

315 Entering the Inner Courtyard

"what?"

For a moment, the old man Huo felt that there might be something wrong with his ears, because Xiao Lin's voice suddenly came out beside his ears, and this voice did not come to ask for responsibility.

The other party actually said that he could help save his wife.
