Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 261: Soul Void Son

"Thank you for the compliment, senior!"

Lin Yuan bowed slightly towards the throne, performed a junior's salute, and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

This salute is a respect for strength.

After the ceremony, he stood up and looked up from afar, looking at the first Dou Sheng powerful man he had ever met in his life.

What I saw was a figure wrapped in black fog. The impenetrable black fog obscured his figure, making him elusive and impossible to see through. Only a pair of blood-red eyes were left, casting an indifferent gaze down.

Lin Yuan and the figure in the black fog, their eyes met at this moment.

One is the pride of absolute strength, the other is the transcendence of foresight. Profundity and indifference collide with each other, and a sense of solemnity rises from the hall.

At this time, the old ghost Zhaixing beside Lin Yuan finally woke up.

When his eyes fell on the throne, his knees bent instinctively, and he knelt deeply, saying respectfully: "Your subordinate greets the Lord Palace Master!"

The moment he saw Lin Yuan standing like a javelin, the old ghost Zhaixing suddenly panicked and subconsciously wanted to pull the former to kneel down, but as soon as his hand moved a little, he withdrew it and knelt on the ground in a more submissive posture.

One must not lose manners in front of a Dou Sheng, but this guy Lin Yuan... clearly warned him!

Without paying attention to the old ghost Zhaixing's mood, Lin Yuan calmly looked at the figure above him. There was respect, inquiry, and even a hint of amusement in his deep eyes...

"A show of strength... or perhaps a test..."

There was not a trace of fear in his eyes, but rather a bit of eagerness to try.

Combining the attitude of the old ghost Zhaixing and a lot of information, Lin Yuan already understood that the Soul Palace might value him more than expected, so he didn't need to be overly cautious...

Now he wants to see the limit of what the Soul Palace can tolerate.

Just as Lin Yuan's thoughts were flowing, a vast soul power suddenly swept across his body.

“Three kinds of strange fire, ancient dragon blood, and demon phoenix wings!” A hint of smile flashed in the eyes of the Soul Hall’s deputy hall master, and he said playfully: “From the looks of you, you don’t seem to be completely ignorant of the rules of ancient dragons and demon phoenixes. You are quite courageous…”

"That's why I came to this Soul Palace." Lin Yuan smiled and said lightly.

"Oh?" The black fog surged slightly, and an interested voice came: "Are you seeking refuge in my Soul Palace?"

“How could that be?” Lin Yuan’s face showed a bit of pride. “The blood of the ancient dragon and the wings of the demon phoenix can easily solve the problem. As for other alchemists’ coveting of the strange fire… Hehe, that’s perfect. I also covet their treasures…”

"Interesting... Then why did you take the initiative to join the Soul Palace?" the deputy palace master asked quietly.

"For progress!" Lin Yuan said frankly.

"I learned a lot from Mu Gu and Zhai Xing. In the Soul Palace, as long as you have enough merits, you can get anything you want! I want to see the scenery up there, and for that I need a lot of high-level items..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the kneeling Star Picking Old Ghost and said in a deep voice: "I believe that I can get many things I need in the Soul Palace!"

"Progress?" The black mist rolled slightly.

Soon, a voice that was neither hurried nor slow began to echo in the dark hall: "Hehehe, you are right... For cultivators like me, what could be more important than progress? However..."

"Young man, don't you think your attitude towards a Dou Sheng is not respectful enough?"

The deputy hall master changed the subject, and a fierce murderous aura suddenly erupted.

The majestic and cold murderous aura nurtured by the mountains of corpses and seas of blood flowed out from his eyes, instantly enveloping Lin Yuan and Zhaixing Old Ghost.

The old ghost Zhaixing felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body could not help but tremble violently; Lin Yuan stood upright and looked up calmly. This kind of pure murderous aura and fearlessness in his heart could not have much effect.

He knew from a young age that the world was vast, so he would not be shaken by the murderous aura of the Three Star Fighting Saint.

Otherwise, how can you strive to be the best in the future?

“Haha!” Lin Yuan smiled calmly and said calmly: “I didn’t expect that the Soul Palace also pays so much attention to form?”

"But if my guess is correct, the Soul Palace should need a ninth-grade alchemist, and that's why they sent people to look for me. If I give you a gift today like picking stars, when I really achieve the ninth grade in the future, will you really not be worried?"

"Rather than leaving hidden dangers because of insignificant little things, it is better for you and I to have an ordinary relationship from the beginning!"

While speaking, Lin Yuan looked at the deputy hall master quite sincerely.

"I have seen countless geniuses!" Upon seeing this, the deputy hall master raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "But do you really think you can become a ninth-grade alchemist?"

“Haha!” Lin Yuan smiled confidently and said firmly: “Who else but me…will be the next ninth-grade alchemist?”

"What a look, what a courage!" The deputy hall master clapped his hands and chuckled, with a little more satisfaction and admiration in his eyes, "You are so bold, so ruthless and so cruel, you are the talent that my Soul Hall needs, and the Soul Hall is the most suitable place for you..."

He slowly stood up, turned around and bowed to the void: "Master Dan Sheng, what do you think of this person?"

"You have great spirit, but your ability needs to be tested! Come over here..."

The moment the ethereal sound fell, Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly blurred. When he focused again, he found that he was already on the top of a mountain. He was surrounded by clouds and mist, and there was a sea of ​​clouds rushing below the mountain, just like a fairyland.

He looked solemnly towards the end of the cliff. There, a figure in black stood with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the sea of ​​clouds below...

The next moment, the space fluctuated slightly.

The deputy hall master of the Soul Hall walked out from the space ripples, glanced at Lin Yuan, dispersed the black mist surrounding him, bowed and stood not far behind the man in black.

The arrogant Deputy Master of the Soul Palace was actually unusually respectful at this moment.

Lin Yuan looked at the back and his eyes couldn't help but shrink. In his perception, there was no trace of breath at all, but when he looked with the naked eye, he could confirm that it was indeed a human figure. This contradictory feeling was quite strange.

Although he did not emanate any strong oppression, Lin Yuan was sure that the person in front of him was the most terrifying person he had ever seen.

"Dan Sheng...he actually showed up in person!"

Although Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised, he quickly calmed down and knew the identity of the person who came: "Hunxuzi... my value, or the Millennium Plan, seems to be more important than I thought!"

Hunxuzi, a seven-star Dousheng of the Hun clan, a master of ninth-grade Xuandan and even Jindan, is a strong contender for the title of the continent's number one alchemist.

"Junior Lin Yuan, I am honored to meet Senior Dan Sheng!"

The difference in strength was too great, so Lin Yuan did not intend to show any unnecessary shock or do any unnecessary tricks. Instead, he took a deep breath and saluted respectfully.

This person's strength and alchemy skills are worthy of this gift.

Hunxuzi turned around, glanced at Lin Yuan indifferently, and then slightly hooked his fingertips.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan's body was in turmoil, and three flames flew out from his body: the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire gushed out from the Na Ling, the Fallen Heart Flame gushed out from the Qi Sea, and the Dry Blue Ice Flame gushed out from the flame between his eyebrows.

The three kinds of flames quietly floated in front of Hunxuzi, and he looked at Lin Yuan with interest. As soon as the origin fire, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, left his body, Lin Yuan seemed to have suffered a fatal blow, his face suddenly turned pale, and his breath instantly weakened.

Extracting the original fire would cause great harm to the alchemist.

An extremely strong killing intent rose up from the bottom of his heart almost uncontrollably, and his eyes instantly turned blood red, but...

"The anger of the weak has no weight!"

After sternly warning himself in his heart, Lin Yuan regained his sanity in an instant. He then suppressed the anger in his heart with his strong mind and forced himself to calm down.

Holding on to his weak body, he looked at Hunxuzi seriously, "Why did you do this, Senior?"

"Not bad!" Hunxuzi smiled with satisfaction.

"As an alchemist, you were deprived of your original fire, but you were still able to keep your mind and reason, and suppress your bored killing intent in an instant! Just from the perspective of character, you are indeed extremely outstanding, with the appearance of a ninth-grade master."

He commented casually while casually playing with the three flames at hand.

The strange fire, which was known for its violent and destructive nature, was now unusually docile under Hunxuzi's control, and he could do whatever he wanted with it.

"The nature of the so-called spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, when faced with absolute power, can only become docile and submissive."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan had a real understanding in his heart.

Not long after, Hunxuzi seemed to have explored the limits of the three flames. He looked at them with disdain, then looked at Lin Yuan, whose breath was extremely weak. With a wave of his hand, the three fires returned to the latter's body again.

At the same time, Hunxuzi's indifferent voice also rang in Lin Yuan's ears.

"I am very satisfied with your performance just now. As a reward for passing the assessment, I will grant you some cultivation!"

Before he finished speaking, a small snow-white animal with a fragrant scent appeared in his arms.

"Snapped--"

Hunxuzi casually patted the snow-white little beast, and a stream of extremely pure energy full of life breath was released from the latter's body and poured into Lin Yuan's body.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, refining this extremely pure energy.

Life energy entered his body, and soon, Lin Yuan's body, which was severely damaged by the extraction of the strange fire, recovered completely; his weak aura also rose rapidly, reaching its previous peak in a blink of an eye, and then continued to rise.

"Click——"

With a faint sound from the darkness, Lin Yuan's rising breath also stopped. However, in this short period of time, his cultivation level broke through one star and reached the eight-star Dou Zong.

With a long sigh, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. This was a blessing in disguise.

At the same time, Hunxuzi's indifferent voice suddenly sounded in Lin Yuan's ears.

"You were able to use that small opportunity just now to break through to one star. Your cultivation talent is quite good. You have a chance to advance to Dou Sheng. This is also good. It will increase your chances of becoming a ninth-grade alchemist. Not bad..."

Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Hunxuzi's snow-white little beast looking at him with interest.

"Thank you for your compliments, and thank you for your gift!"

Putting away the seal on his hand, Lin Yuan stood up calmly, bowed to Hunxuzi and expressed his gratitude.

He now understood firsthand why so many powerful non-Soul Clan warriors were loyal to the Soul Palace - the Soul Palace or the Soul Clan had an extremely vicious style of doing things, but when it came to "paying salaries", they were also extremely generous.

With just a test of one's character and talent for cultivation, they can help themselves improve their cultivation by one star.

"Is this... the Dan beast?"

Looking at the slightly wilted little beast in Hunxuzi's arms, and thinking of the energy just now, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness: "Such pure energy is worthy of being an eighth-grade seven-color elixir or above, and this one..."

In the Douqi Continent, elixirs that have experienced elixir thunder of seven colors or above are almost living beings and have the ability to change into beast form.

"Are you interested in this Dan beast?"

Seeing this, Hunxuzi waved his hand casually and said, "No need to guess, this is just an eighth-grade nine-color elixir beast. It's just a toy that I made casually in my spare time. If you can pay the price, I'll give it to you..."

“No need!” Lin Yuan shook his head and said calmly: “When needed, I will refine it myself.”

“You are so arrogant!” Hunxuzi raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: “Then let’s carry out the last test this time and let me see your talent as an alchemist.”

"Oh? For the last test, do you want me to refine medicine here?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Heh... I'm busy with work and don't have the time to spare."

Hunxuzi smiled faintly and asked meaningfully, "Do you know what the most fundamental ability is for a ninth-grade or higher alchemist?"

"Fire and wood attributes, soul perception and fire control ability?" Lin Yuan stated the consensus on the continent.

"Haha!" Hunxuzi sneered, "This is the consensus of mediocre people."

"If my guess is correct, you actually have a different answer in your heart! After all, the moment I saw you, I seemed to see my past self. Tell me the real answer in your heart..."

After hearing what Hunxuzi said, Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, and finally uttered two words slowly: "Comprehension!"

"Hehehe, you really do understand. You are a teachable kid!"

Hearing Lin Yuan's answer, Hunxuzi nodded, as if he had been opened up to talk, and began to talk about his own ideas with great interest.

"To reach the pinnacle of alchemy, the most important thing is understanding, because it represents pioneering, enterprising, and problem-solving!"

“All other aspects can be compensated and changed by resources, but understanding is almost innate. It is a person’s most precious gift and the most important source of inspiration when solving unknown problems.”

"However, among all living beings, only a very small number of people are qualified to enter the battlefield to compete in comprehension."

Hunxuzi narrated his understanding of alchemists and talent, and his whole body exuded the aura of a master that was impressive.

I have to say that, regardless of his stance, Hunxuzi can be regarded as the top master.

Even within the original trajectory, his achievements in alchemy were enough to make people jaw-dropping - although it was the work of the entire Soul Clan, as the one who actually completed the refining of the Emperor Pill from the Young Pill into the Emperor Pill, he must have made great contributions.

A Xuandan Grandmaster who had reached the great perfection of the Heavenly Realm was actually able to work out a feasible plan for refining the Emperor Pill and eventually completed the refining work.

Zhongzhou is the cauldron, living beings are the ingredients, heaven and earth are the fire, and the body is the elixir...

No matter how you look at it, it is a masterpiece that is enough to amaze people and go down in history.
