When talking about this matter, Hu Qian was a little hesitant.

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

However, Old Man Huo had taken the initiative to provoke him before. Xiao Lin did not break out on the spot because of the sake of Canaan College. Now that Xiao Lin came to inquire about the reason behind this incident, he was too embarrassed not to tell him.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally made a decision.

"Actually, this matter has been mentioned for some time. At that time, Old Man Huo had not yet become a sixth-grade alchemist.

At that time, he was still very young, searching for strange fires all over the world, hoping to become more advanced in the level of alchemy.

He didn't know where he heard the news about the strange fire in the Southern Territory, so he went to look for it with great interest, but in the end he couldn't find any trace of the strange fire. However, he offended a dark race family in the Southern Territory.

After he escaped back to the academy, the academy protected him. Later, he planned to practice in seclusion in the academy.

But things are not that simple,

The people of the dark race were extremely vengeful and could not kill him because they were afraid of the power of Canaan Academy, but they targeted Old Man Huo's wife.

They planted a dark curse on Old Man Huo's wife. This curse is not difficult to solve, but it requires strange fire to slowly refine enough power.

It doesn't sound like a big deal in the first place. As long as you find an alchemist with a strange fire, this problem can be solved. But where is an alchemist with a strange fire so easy to find?

The power of the curse is getting stronger day by day, and Old Man Huo has no choice but to take risks to solve the problem for his wife.

Fortunately, he is very talented as an alchemist, and after improving his level, he came up with many elixirs that can suppress the curse, but these can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause."

Hu Qian sighed and continued: "As time goes by, the power of the curse becomes stronger and stronger. Even if the pills refined by Old Man Hu are getting better and better, they still cannot suppress the power of the curse.

This dark curse is difficult to remove. The curse is not very powerful at first and will not have any impact.

But this curse was planted by a strong man from the dark race who was about to break through and become a Douzong. The curse left by a strong man of this level, if there is no strange fire, even if Douzong comes, there will be no solution."

"Is it that dangerous?"

The more Xiao Lin listened, the more strange he felt. It might be difficult to solve it in other places, but didn't Canaan College itself have a kind of strange fire?

If Old Man Huo likes Xiao Yan because of his Qinglian Earth Heart Fire, which is ranked 19th, but Canaan College’s Fallen Heart Flame, which is ranked 14th, must be better than Qinglian Earth Heart Fire. Fire is much better.

"The danger is secondary, and the main reason is difficulty. This curse exists based on life.

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

Even Dou Zun, a strong man who wants to remove the power of this curse, 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 and reach the level of a seventh-grade alchemist, so that he can refine the kind of elixir that can have huge vitality to offset the curse's depletion of his wife's vitality.

Or he can only keep refining elixirs and let his wife live on taking elixirs, but this method is very painful. Although he can live, he will be in a deep sleep for at least half of the year. It exists."

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

"Of course I'm familiar with them. Both of them were my classmates at school. Later, we stayed at the school together 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 not something that can be easily offset.

In fact, curses are very rare in Dou Qi Continent. This is also a variant of Dou Qi, but it only has some special powers.

If let Xiao Lin say it, it is more like a poison, but this kind of thing is like poison attached to the bone. If you want to remove it, you must use some very special and rare methods.

"But if we just need the strange fire to lift the threat of the curse, it is not an unspeakable matter. Even if Xiao Yan is not strong enough now, if this matter is revealed, I don't think Xiao Yan will not help."

"This matter... is not that simple.

The solution is not to use strange 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 who possesses the strange fire.

In a sense, this is exchanging one person's life for another person's life.

If there is anything special about it, it is that people with strange fire can refine the power of this curse by themselves, so compared to the life dangers faced by ordinary people, the chance of survival is much higher."

No wonder this is the case.

Xiao Lin was speechless after hearing this. The old man wanted to exchange Xiao Yan's life for his wife's life.

If that's the case, then it's no wonder that such despicable tactics are used.

"Actually, these words should not be said to the emperor. I hope the emperor can see that he is eager to save people and not argue with him."

Hu Qian was also very helpless. He had sacrificed so much to maintain the relationship between Xiao Lin and the college, and he could not let the newly improved relationship be destroyed by Old Man Huo's personal behavior.

As for Old Man Huo, he really couldn't do much.

The latter is in charge of the Alchemy Department of Canaan College. In terms of influence, he is far more powerful than the vice president.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy. It's just that you just said that the reason why there was a curse back then was because Huo Lao went looking for strange fires?

But in that place in the Southern Territory...where did the strange fire come from?"

"I don't know 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 soon reached the middle point, and at this time it was necessary to take a break.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Lin moved to the side of Old Man Huo on top of the stands, and his condition was to open his mouth.
