Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 264: Landing Point, Leaving
"I give this to you. It will definitely come in handy when you act in the name of 'Soul Abyss'..."

While he was thinking, the voice of the deputy hall master came from above.

Then, a black scroll fell in front of Lin Yuan. "This is a secret technique that this palace has treasured. It can help you change your appearance and conceal your aura. Once you have mastered it, even ordinary heavenly souls will find it difficult to see through your true form!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up with joy and he quickly took the scroll.

"Thank you very much for your generous gift, Vice Palace Master. If Hun Yuan can successfully achieve the ninth rank in the future, I will definitely reward you generously!"

He put the first part of the volume into his ring and gave away his favor and promise without hesitation.

After all, if he could achieve the ninth rank, these few things would be nothing more than a piece of cake; on the contrary, if he failed and died, then he would naturally not have to worry about these things.

"Ninth rank and generous reward..."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, the deputy hall master looked at Lin Yuan meaningfully, thinking to himself: "He is such a cunning boy. He is really smart to have achieved his current success in the marginal land."

He knew very well that what Lin Yuan said was just empty talk, but with his talent certified by Hunxuzi, there was a possibility that it would come true, so...

The smile on the deputy hall master's face was a little gentler than before.

"Very good. Since you have such intention, I will not be polite. I look forward to the day when you become a ninth-grade alchemist! By the way, there are many books on alchemy and some pill recipes collected in the hall. You can read them to your heart's content..."

If you can put idle things to good use, why not?
What's more, if this kid can really accomplish something... The deputy hall master thought to himself, with a smile on his face.

With their own little thoughts, Lin Yuan and the deputy hall master smiled at each other.

The seemingly existent alliance of interests has been formed!

"It's stable!" Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Using the possible ninth-grade elixir as bait, the deputy hall master should be more tolerant of me, at least he won't deliberately make things difficult for me. This is enough."

Now, as long as he does not overstep the line and does not make any serious mistakes, the deputy hall master should turn a blind eye.

After all, the interests of the Soul Palace and the interests of the Soul Palace's deputy master are not always completely consistent.

Since the two had formed a hidden alliance of interests, Lin Yuan was no longer polite and asked directly: "Master Deputy Palace Master, I have only been in Zhongzhou for a short time and have little foundation here. Can you point me to a place to stay?"

"Let's go to the Disha Palace to pick stars!" The deputy palace master thought for a moment and said lightly.

"Tianzun originally had the responsibility to guard the Disha Palace. Since Zhaixing brought you here, you two are destined to be together. In this case, I will assign you to Zhaixing's Disha Palace, and you will guard that branch palace together with Zhaixing and Lanyue."

"Of course, you only need to put your name on it. You should focus on refining medicine. The matters of guarding the town will be handled by Zhaixing and Lanyue."

"Thank you, Deputy Palace Master, for your painstaking arrangements. Hun Yuan will remember it in my heart!" Lin Yuan bowed to express his gratitude.

Hearing this, the deputy hall master nodded slightly, and then turned to the old ghost Zhaixing who was kneeling on the ground: "Zhaixing, you have completed this mission well. You can go to the Blood Essence Pool to practice for half a month. I hope you can take this opportunity to break through to the six-star Dou Zun!"

"Blood Essence Pool!"

A hint of enthusiasm flashed across the old ghost Zhaixing's eyes, and he bowed deeply to the deputy hall master, "Thank you for your cultivation, hall master. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"Stand up!" The deputy hall master raised his hand casually and said calmly, "Yuan Tianzun has entrusted you with protection. He is extremely important to this hall. From now on, he will be in charge of the Beast Domain branch hall where you are, and he will also directly command you and Lan Yue."

"Besides, you must not reveal his identity, otherwise..."

There was unquestionable majesty in the deputy hall master's voice.

Hearing the solemn tone of the deputy hall master, the old ghost Zhaixing was suddenly shocked. It seemed that he really brought back an extraordinary person.

Without any hesitation, he quickly responded: "Yes, Lord Palace Master!"

After saying that, he slowly stood up, and as he stood up, his eyes met Lin Yuan's gaze as he was looking at him.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand quite naturally, and said softly: "Senior Zhaixing, I am afraid I will bother you more in the future."

The old ghost Zhaixing quickly extended his hand and shook it: "No, no, it's my honor!"

Looking at the harmonious relationship between the two, the deputy hall master nodded with satisfaction. In this way, even if the job of taking care of people entrusted by Dan Sheng was successfully outsourced, he could handle other affairs or practice in seclusion.

"Zhaixing, I leave Yuan Tianzun to you. Take him to familiarize himself with the affairs of the lower palace. Now leave!"

As soon as the words fell, the space trembled slightly, and the figure of the deputy hall master disappeared in the hall.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan looked at the old ghost Zhaixing and said with a smile: "Senior Zhaixing, since we have arrived at the Earth Palace, we should also remove the restrictions placed on each other."

Hearing this, Zhaixing Old Ghost nodded quickly and said, "That's right, that's right!"

As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the hall. After a short while, the dark hall quickly returned to its former tranquility.

Northwestern continent, Sky Snake Empire.

Just like the empires of Izumo, Mulan, Luoyan and other empires in the northwest continent, the royal family of this empire is just a decoration. The real person in charge is the super sect that has been rooted for many years - the Tianshe Mansion!

The Sky Snake Palace is the true top power in the northwest continent. It controls the entire Sky Snake Empire with the power of the sect, and even several surrounding empires are within its sphere of influence.

The reason why I can achieve this level is simple: one word - strong.

There are many powerful people in the Tianshe Mansion. Not only are there multiple Dou Zong masters, but there is also a Dou Zun-level supreme elder - Tianshe Zun. Such powerful strength is the basis for it to be one of the overlords of the Northwest.

Although the Heavenly Snake Lord has been in seclusion for many years, the power of the Dou Zun strongman still means that almost no one in the northwest dares to provoke the Heavenly Snake Palace.

And today, the long-lost peace was finally broken...

"Heavenly Snake Secret Book: Heavenly Snake Destruction!"

An old and stern shout suddenly resounded throughout the back mountain of the Tiantian Snake Mansion.

A giant energy python, a hundred feet in size, wrapped a ferocious old man inside. A deep green energy beam burst out from the mouth of the giant energy python and shot towards the peerless white-haired woman in front.

"Three Light Seals: Moonlight Seal!"

There was a flash of cold light in her eyes, and the little medical fairy waved her jade hand. The purple light in front of her shot out like lightning. The energy of heaven and earth suddenly erupted, and even the clouds above the sky were lifted up!

The two ultimate killing moves, like shooting stars across the sky, collided brilliantly at that moment!

"boom--"

There was a deafening roar, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart, and in an instant it echoed throughout the entire back mountain of the Tianshe Mansion.

A terrifying energy storm spread across the sky. Hundred-meter-long black cracks tore through the void space. This scene was like a hideous mouth suddenly opening in the sky, which made people feel chilled.

The spreading energy storm brought about a hurricane that swept across the sky and earth. Countless giant trees were uprooted from the ground. The scene was like a doomsday scene.

"What a powerful energy collision. The battle between Dou Zun actually turned out to be such a scene..."

In the void in the distance, Medusa protected Qing Lin, standing behind the Heavenly Demon Puppet, looking at the huge space crack in the sky, with a flash of unwillingness in her eyes. Although she didn't want to admit it, this battlefield was not something she could intervene in. At least in terms of cultivation, that woman was far superior to herself.

As her thoughts raced, the stalemate between the purple light mark and the emerald green light column finally decided the winner.

"Click——"

With a crisp sound, the green energy beam suddenly collapsed, and the purple light mark with astonishing and powerful force was imprinted directly on the top of the giant python's head.

"Bam—"

A deep voice sounded, and the energy of the Moonlight Seal exploded. The giant python's huge body slowly stiffened, and cracks appeared on its huge body. Then, with a shrill scream, it completely exploded...

"Whoosh-"

An old figure flew out from the exploding energy like a meteor, slamming heavily into the forest, and plowing a gully a hundred feet long.

At the same time, an extremely thin ray of blood shot out and penetrated into the old man's body.

A moment later, a white embroidered shoe touched the ground, and suddenly a breeze arose, sweeping away all the smoke and dust in the sky.

In the ravine, an old man covered in dust appeared in front of everyone.

“Snake Lord, you lose!” Little Medical Fairy looked at the old man with a weakened breath and said indifferently: “Follow the agreement, hand over the inheritance of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils!”

"Five-star Dou Zun, you are indeed a person with a physique that is not inferior to Saint Tong." Tianshe Zun struggled to get up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "It is I who lost. I can give you the inheritance, but I hope you can consider my advice."

After a pause, he said seriously: "It is very dangerous for the host of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils to go to Zhongzhou! The Nine Nether Earth Python..."

"Don't worry about this matter!" The Little Medical Fairy interrupted him.

"For us, the Nine Netherworld Python is not a big obstacle! Don't try to play tricks. I have just injected the blood of disaster into your body. I can kill you with just a thought."

"The life and death of the entire Tianshe Prefecture is in your hands. Cherish my remaining little patience and don't make mistakes..."

Hearing this, a trace of dejection flashed in the eyes of Heavenly Snake Lord. He took a deep breath and nodded.

"I understand. I hope you can make good use of this inheritance and make the reputation of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils famous again! In this way, the world will know that the persistence of my Heavenly Snake Mansion over the years is not in vain!"

"Follow me, the inheritance is in the underground palace, and it requires the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils to open it."
-
Twenty days later.

In the spacious library, Lin Yuan looked at the items hanging in front of him, his eyes sparkling with joy.

"As expected of the Soul Palace, the collection is indeed rich!"

"Eighth-level magic core, eighth-level blood essence, Dou Zun corpse... In this way, the materials for Skyfire Zun and Sky Demon Puppet are all ready."

"As for the Heavenly Demon Puppet, with the quality of the materials this time, we should be able to refine a Heavenly Demon Puppet directly; as for the Heavenly Fire Venerable, with the eighth-grade Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill, the eighth-grade Blood Essence, and the body of the Dou Zun as materials, we should be able to revive him with peak strength!"

With a light chuckle, Lin Yuan waved his hand and put the magic core, blood essence and Dou Zun's remains into the ring.

Then, he turned his attention to the remaining two items - a dark purple scroll, and a colorful stone.

He stretched out his hand and the colorful stones fell lightly into his palm.

This is a stone about half the size of a fist, with seven clearly visible lines engraved on the surface. Faintly, a special energy slowly diffuses from it.

Looking at the colorful stone carefully, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile.

“I didn’t expect to find a colorful raw stone.”

The seven-colored raw stone, a special mutated spiritual stone, has a close relationship with the seven-colored sky-swallowing python.

It is said that the seven-colored raw stone will only appear with some chance at the place where the seven-colored Sky-Swallowing Python's body dies, and the seven-colored raw stone that has absorbed the Sky-Swallowing Python's blood will produce an extremely unique energy.

This kind of energy is a real tonic for the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

If there are more than a hundred Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Pythons and their bodies fall in one place at the same time, there is a chance that eight-colored or even nine-colored raw stones will be born.

"Look at the clarity of the pattern..."

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself: "This seven-color raw stone has extremely abundant energy, which should be able to help the queen break through the Dou Zun realm. Maybe it is eight-color or even nine-color... That's it, I don't think I have this luck!"

With a hint of self-mockery on his lips, Lin Yuan waved his hand to put away the colorful raw stone and picked up the dark purple scroll.

"Mysterious Poison Codex!"

After Lin Yuan flipped through it carefully for a while, he put it back into his ring with satisfaction: "It is worthy of being created by a semi-saint. Its exquisiteness is far superior to the previous Seven-Colored Poison Sutra. It should allow Little Medical Immortal to have more skills!"

It was not until this moment that he glanced at the ring, and a trace of pain flashed across his eyes.

"I've bought too many things in the past few days, and I've squandered most of Mu Gu's savings. I can't continue to live off my savings. I have to think of a way..."

The reason why Lin Yuan was able to get these things in a short time was because of the spoils he seized after killing Mu Gu.

After all, none of these things are cheap.

For example, that colorful raw stone, which itself has the value of an eighth-grade elixir.

Fortunately, as a veteran eighth-grade alchemist, Mu Gu had accumulated considerable wealth during his decades of "working" for the Soul Palace, and even had a lot of eighth-grade elixirs.

Of course, Lin Yuan would not use these pills himself, so he took out most of them and exchanged them for many necessary things, including the few things just mentioned, as well as many materials needed to refine the blood pills.

Fortunately, Mu Gu was captured, otherwise, even Lin Yuan would not be able to gather the "funds" needed in the short term.

"The next target to harvest must be carefully selected!"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan looked towards the west, where there was a familiar breath: "This breath, it seems that the old ghost Zhaixing has successfully broken through to the six-star Dou Zun. The purpose of my coming here has been achieved, it's time to set off to the Beast Domain!"

Thinking of this, he walked leisurely towards the breath he sensed.

Halfway through the journey, Lin Yuan and Zhaixing Old Ghost bumped into each other head-on.

Looking at the high-spirited old man, Lin Yuan congratulated him, "Congratulations, senior. You have achieved six stars, and seven stars are on the way!"

Hearing this, Zhaixing Old Ghost waved his hands and said respectfully: "This time, it is also thanks to you, my friend! In the future, please take care of me..."

"Easy to say! Easy to say!"

After a brief greeting, two streams of light flew out from the underground hall and sped away towards the southeast.
