--- Chapter 86 ---

"This is an outer academy of the Jia Nan Academy. We accepted a new batch of students recently, so the Thousand Flame Refinement Ceremony happened at the right time." Su Qian explained while showing Baek Ain and his companions a decently vast space filled with buildings.

These buildings were built and carved with the style of Jia Nan Academy, having flame-like marks on their pillars or foundation. The novel architectural style stirred Baek Ain's interest.

Baek Ain nodded and commented, "It seems Jia Nan Academy isn't lacking resources. Well, it must be hard to maintain."

Su Qian chuckled weakly and returned, "You guess?"

"Well, don't be too shocked. Our Jia Nan Academy could continue to prosper for hundreds if not thousands of years as long as the Founder is alive."

"Founder... He's a Half Saint, right?" Baek Ain curiously asked.

Hearing such a question, Su Qian only smiled and didn't answer because it was an unspoken rule of Jia Nan Academy. It's not like they can depend on the Founder forever, as he traveled across Central Plains years ago and hasn't returned until now.

With the new geniuses, they should be able to cultivate more powerhouses in ten years or so.

That's the plan.

However, Baek Ain knew very well that as long as Xiao Yan lived in the Jia Nan Academy, these people would experience abnormal problems sooner or later. That's how Halo of Protagonist works, pulling anyone related to the protagonist into demise or fortune.

Of course, everyone has the same problem in this cultivation world, but when you're a protagonist, you are "unfortunately." destined to suffer and stand back up. The mundane problem could become life-threatening in a matter of seconds.

"Even if you weren't not searching for a problem, the problem will come and find you..." Baek Ain muttered lightly.

"Did you say something?" Su Qing looked back.

Baek Ain smiled slightly and answered, "Nothing."

Su Qing nodded and continued to escort them into the Jia Nan Academy, entering the Inner Academy, which possesses areas that are even more spacious than the previous one.

The Dou Qi is also denser, having a trace of the fire element. It's so faint that other Dou Practitioners with different attributes could still cultivate comfortably.

No wonder people called this place the holy land for individuals who want to cultivate.

How enviable! Everyone would think so when entering Jia Nan Academy.

However, Baek Ain is different.

'Hmm, I could make a superior environment with Gnome's Flame in the future, but laying the foundation is better for now.' Baek Ain thought while looking at the source of this Dou Qi Density.

A massive white tower stood on the heart of Jia Nan Academy, releasing this majestic presence. Even though Baek Ain was several miles away, he could sense the tyrant-like heat from it.

Baek Ain laughed inside because this fiery fellow dared to challenge him with this pesky heat. If Su Qian wasn't here, he would have accepted the challenge and let out Gnome.

[Ding! Do you want to Sign In to "Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy?"]

'No.' Baek Ain hasn't used his daily Sign In yet.

And he has decided to Sign In to the tower utilized to contain Fallen Heart Flame.

Staring at the tower, Baek Ain shook his head because he'd visit this fiery fellow later at night.

Su Qian finally landed in the guest quarter, where people from outside could stay for a few days. After all, the Thousand Flame Refinement Ceremonies are still in preparation.

It was a hotel-like environment with a couple of hectares of area. There is also a hot spring running behind.

"Since you also want to meet the representative of the Fallen Orchid Sect, let me introduce you to her." Su Qian added with a cough.

"Ehem, She is rather rash but genuinely a better person. Don't let it cloud your judgment."

"Her?" Baek Ain and his companions tilted their heads. The ladies felt something was amiss with the way Su Qian acted.

As they entered the hotel, Su Qian led them to the farthest room in the building. He knocked on the door and received some grunts from the inside as if someone was snoring.

"Uuh, Who?" The annoyed voice of a woman echoed.

"My head is killing me..."

A wry smile appeared on Su Qian's face as he responded, "Junior Sister, someone wants to meet you."

"Junior Sister? The representatives of the Fallen Orchid Sect, She's from the same generation as you, Senior Su Qian?" Baek Ain was speechless.

After all, Too many things have changed in this alternative universe.

Su Qian nodded and commented, "Her name is Lan Guan."

"You might know her as the Wind Riding Empress."

Lan Rou slightly trembled when hearing the name and title mentioned by Su Qian. Even Yafei, Yi Xian, and Baek Ain couldn't help but wonder about this.

This coincidence isn't funny.

"Lan Guan..."

Bam!

The door suddenly slid open, revealing a woman in her late thirties. Even so, those slight wrinkles couldn't hide her beauty. She stood tall with a lean physique of around 180 centimeters or 5'11 foot, a charming-looking face, generously large breasts, and long bluish-silver hair hanging over her loose purple martial robe.

She looked exactly like an older Lan Rou, except her eyes' color was brass yellow instead of gray. Even though she possesses the aura of Dou Ancestor, it was overwhelmed by the reek of alcohol from her body.

"You were drinking again?" Su Qian helplessly glanced inside, seeing several jugs of wine.

Lan Guan yawned and responded casually, "So what? You're not my father!"

"Take a break, can't you?"

"Let me enjoy my life!"

'Enjoy your life? You're ten years older than me...' Su Qian couldn't help but roll his eyes in disbelief. He called Lan Guan junior sister because she was entering Jia Nan Academy at a later term than him, receiving the Founder's guidance quite late.

Still, she's a genuine graduate of Jia Nan Academy, whose authority is no lower than Grand Elder.

Sighing inside, Su Qian stepped back and showed Baek Ain to his junior sister. "This person wants to meet you."

"Let me introduce you two to each other."

"Bai Ya, This person is Lan Guan, the esteemed elder of the Fallen Orchid Sect and a Dou Ancestor known as Wind-Riding Empress. She's quite a renowned Demonic Practitioner in the Southern Region."

"Junior Sister, This person is Bai Ya., the new ruler of the Black-Corner Region and uuh, I didn't realize you are 2-Star Dou Ancestor. What a monster..." Su Qian finally noticed Baek Ain's cultivation when he released his aura slightly.

"Otherwise, Bai Ya is known as the Blade God or White Fang of the Black-Corner Region."

"He's the person who defeated the Old Ground Demon Ghost."

As both sides stared at each other, Lan Guan frowned because she could feel intense Dou Qi from Baek Ain's body.

At first, she considered Baek Ain to be an old monster, who had regained his youth, but hearing Su Qian's introduction makes her realize this fellow is younger than her by a century.

Lan Guan reached for Su Qian's robe and wiped her hands clean, leaving everyone speechless.

"Nice to meet you, Bai Ya." She cupped her hand.

"..." Su Qian's mouth twitched.

"..." Baek Ain.
