Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 266: Blood Pool, Arrival, Moon-Grabbing

Tianmu Mountain in the northern part of Zhongzhou.

The Tianmu Mountains are a famous place of opportunity, even if you look at the entire northern region of Zhongzhou.

The most important reason is of course the Tianshan Blood Pool that appears once every three years.

At a specific time every three years, after a tide of energy from heaven and earth appears on the top of the Tianmu Mountain, the Tianshan Lake in the crater will be filled with an extremely strange red liquid, which is called the Tianshan Blood Lake.

The energy of the Tianshan Blood Pool is extremely powerful, and the special energy it contains has the effect of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the bones.

This miraculous effect of transforming people completely can help them break through bottlenecks, especially in helping Dou Huang break through to Dou Zong, attracting countless Dou Huang powerhouses to come.

After all, there is a huge watershed between Douhuang and Douzong, and the gap between the two is extremely huge.

In the Central Plains, those at the Douhuang level can indeed be called strong, but only by becoming a Douzong can one enjoy the treatment of a true strong man, carve out one's own foundation, and become a truly famous strong man.

This is why the Tianshan Blood Pool is so famous.

Naturally, in order to cultivate outstanding young people in their sect, many major forces in the Northern Territory are naturally very concerned about the Tianshan Blood Pool.

However, the Tianshan Blood Pool is too complicated.

The monopolist will inevitably become the target of public criticism. After a series of complicated games, with many forces involved, to this day, the Tianshan Blood Pool is still considered an ownerless land.

However, if we must say something about the master, perhaps the native magical beasts of the Tianmu Mountains - the gold-eating rat clan, can barely be counted.

The Gold-Eating Rat Clan is not very powerful among the magical beasts. Most of its members are ordinary second- and third-level magical beasts, but the number of rats is generally quite terrifying.

At the same time, this clan is also full of strong people.

Its true core members are as high as the seventh rank, and the strongest among them, clan leader Jin Shi, is as powerful as a six-star Dou Zong.

In today's Tianmu Mountains, the Gold-Eating Rat Clan is the real overlord. Two of the ten places in the Tianshan Blood Pool every three years belong to the Gold-Eating Rat Clan, and the Tianshan Blood Pool is still guarded by them.

When Xiao Yixian and his three companions set foot on the Tianmu Mountains, the Tianshan Blood Pool was not the one that appeared three years ago.

There is still more than a year before the next opening of the Tianshan Blood Pool, but...

"Your Excellency, this is the secret place of our clan!"

At the bottom of the Tianshan Blood Pool, Jinshi stood with his body bowed, looking at the Little Medical Fairy in awe, and respectfully introduced to the four people: "Over the long years, the pure energy precipitated by the Tianshan Blood Pool has been collected here by our clan..."

After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Qing Lin cautiously: "However, although the energy here is the purest, the fire poison is also the most concentrated. Miss's cultivation..."

Hearing this, Little Medical Fairy raised her eyes and looked at the space barrier that was no more than ten feet in size.

Looking around, the blood-red energy in this barrier was so viscous that it reached a terrifying level.

At the same time, the viscous blood-colored liquid was mixed with a rather rich dark gray light spot.

"The same fire poison as in your body? Interesting!"

The Little Medical Fairy stretched out her jade hand with interest, and pointed her index finger at Jinshi's brow. With a thought, a dark purple flame ignited at her fingertips, and soon it swirled around her body, and a mysterious suction force suddenly erupted.

Jin Shi was surprised to find that the deep-rooted fire poison in his body was gathering towards the jade finger between his eyebrows at an astonishing speed.

After half an hour.

The Little Medical Fairy retracted her jade finger, and with a thought, dark purple flames all over her body intertwined and merged, transforming into a dark purple lotus with a crystal dark gray 'lotus seed' wrapped inside.

"The fire poison here is of good quality."

Looking at the dark gray 'lotus seeds' in the dark purple lotus, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Little Medical Fairy.

This pure fire poison lotus seed, combined with the massive amount of fire poison accumulated in the Tianshan Blood Pool, if it can be extracted and then refined with the Netherworld Poison Fire, it should be able to activate the Evil Poison Body and slightly improve her cultivation.

Thinking of this, her eyes narrowed slightly and she looked at Jinshi thoughtfully.

On the other hand, after the fire poison was extracted, feeling the vigorous vitality in his body, a hint of ecstasy appeared on Jin Shi's old face, and his eyes were filled with unstoppable surprise.

Sensing the gaze of the Little Medical Immortal, Jin Shi quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency. From now on, the Gold-Eating Rat Clan will follow your lead!"

"It's good to have this awareness!"

Little Medical Fairy nodded slightly: "From now on, the Gold Devouring Rat Clan is 'affiliated with Tianxuan' and is directly under the command of this deity. For related matters, just read this note. And this Zongyuan Pill is a reward for you, so leave now!"

As she spoke, she snapped her fingers, and a pill and a note fell in front of Jinshi.

"that's it!"

A natural treasure that can help people break through. Lin Yuan might be able to use it in the future.

When the two were chatting, Lin Yuan once mentioned his idea - to find some precious places for cultivation as a place for the inner courtyard students to further their studies.

Although Lin Yuan just mentioned it casually at the time, the Little Medical Fairy kept it in mind.

“Zongyuan Pill!!!”

When Jin Shi heard what the Little Medical Fairy said, a hint of ecstasy suddenly appeared in his eyes. He hurriedly and respectfully took the pill and the letter, bowed respectfully, and then stepped out.

"Your Excellency...you are truly majestic!" A lazy voice came from behind.

Medusa rubbed Zi Yan's little head while looking at Xiao Yixian with interest, and said lightly: "Between us, you are stronger now, so I can listen to your arrangements for the time being. What do you plan to do next?"

Having said that, a hint of unwillingness flashed in the depths of her eyes... This little medical fairy is very difficult to deal with in terms of both intelligence and strength.

Thinking of the losses she suffered at Canaan Academy, Medusa felt even more depressed, and her hand that was rubbing Zi Yan's head also became a little more irritable unconsciously.

On the other side, Xiao Yixiang did not directly answer Medusa's question, but looked at Qinglin and the colorful patterns on her forehead.

"Qinglin, you and Xiaocai should practice well here during this period of time. Don't worry about absorbing the energy here, improve your cultivation to the maximum extent, and strive to break through to Dou Zong directly this time. Don't worry about the fire poison, I will take care of it."

After that, she looked at Medusa and said in a deep voice: "Xiyue, after I devour the fire poison here, you come to protect them, and I will go to Fenglei Pavilion to seize the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies."

"I understand!" Medusa nodded.

"I, I, I—"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Zi Yan quickly raised her arm and said anxiously: "Sister Xiao Yixian, I will go with you so that we can have someone to look after each other..."

If she were to stay in this dull place for a few months, she would be bored to death!
The Little Medical Immortal pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, Zi Yan, you can come with me, but you have to be obedient. Zhongzhou is not the Northwest, we can't just rob..."

"Ah... Can't it be the same as before?" Hearing this, Zi Yan felt a little discouraged.

But with her amazing wisdom running at high speed, Zi Yan soon seemed to have figured something out, and a cunning flashed in her eyes: "Hehehe, we can't just rob it. Then we can do the same as my brother and find a reason to rob it. No... borrow it."

"Uh--"

Looking at Zi Yan's excited face, Little Medical Fairy was speechless for a moment...
-
Half a month later.

"Master Yuan, we are almost at the Southern Region!" The slightly excited voice of Zhaixing Gui suddenly sounded at the bow of the ship.

In the cabin, Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the Green Lotus Seat, heard the call of the old ghost Zhaixing. He exhaled slowly and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened. His eyes, which were usually deep, were now unusually bright and clear.

Feeling the overflowing spiritual energy between his eyebrows, a smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

"The Heaven and Earth Soul Art is truly extraordinary! In terms of sophistication, it is far superior to the previous Heavenly Heart Soul Art!"

Feeling the abundant spiritual energy between his eyebrows, Lin Yuan raised his lips slightly: "The efficiency of my practice in the past half month is at least five times higher than before! But..."

After sensing the soul realm, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he sighed faintly: "The improvement of soul power is really not that simple! According to the current cultivation speed, it will take at least three months to reach the eighth level six-color soul power..."

There was a hint of regret in his voice.

Of course, if other alchemists heard what Lin Yuan said at this moment, I really don’t know what they would think.

After entering the spiritual realm, it is extremely difficult to upgrade the grade of soul power. Even if there are soul techniques that can be practiced, the potential will be exhausted after the breakthrough. There are many alchemists who cannot improve at all for years or even decades.

If those eighth-grade alchemists could improve their soul power by one color every year like Lin Yuan, I believe they would be willing to accept it even if it shortened their lifespan by a hundred years.

The difference in talents of the soul is far more cruel than the difference in talents of the body!
Shaking his head, Lin Yuan slowly stood up, then tidied himself up, and walked out of the cabin slowly in the state of "Soul Abyss".

He walked leisurely to the side of the old ghost Zhaixing and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

Seeing the other party's surprised eyes, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and then instructed: "Star-picking Heavenly Venerable, from now on this face of 'Hun Yuan' is Yuan Heavenly Venerable. As for the fact that Lin Yuan and Hun Yuan are the same person, remember to keep it secret..."

"Don't worry, I understand!" Upon hearing this, the old ghost Zhaixing nodded seriously.

"That's good!" Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "By the way, what is the cultivation level of Lan Yue Tianzun who is stationed in the Twenty-Three Palaces with the senior?"

"Moon-grabbing?"

As if thinking of something happy, the old ghost Zhaixing raised his lips slightly and said with a strange smile: "That guy is at the peak of the five-star Dou Zun level, slightly stronger than the old man before. But now... hehe..."

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Picking the stars and embracing the moon, it seems that these two also have their own stories! That's right, the people of the Soul Palace are not monsters without emotions..."

So, as the two were communicating in a relaxed manner, the spacecraft rushed into the silver circle of light.

Soon, two streams of light flew out from the Southern Region Hub Hall and flew towards the eastern part of the Southern Region.
-
Two days later, Southern Region.

Standing on a barren mountain with bones exposed in the wild, Lin Yuan injected his soul power into the Tianzun Token, and then slashed it fiercely at the void. The token, which was rippling with mysterious waves, instantly created a crack about ten feet wide in the void.

Lin Yuan, who was sensing the entire process, had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Just now, when he opened up the space channel, he felt a sense of being "authenticated" in his heart.

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Star-Picking Heavenly Venerable, what if someone uses our token to open the passage? If the Heavenly Venerable's token can be used everywhere, once it is seized by the enemy, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?"

"You discovered it so quickly? You are worthy of being called Yuan Tianzun!" praised the old ghost Zhaixing.

"Don't worry. The Heavenly Master Token of my palace is not that simple. If the owner of the token hadn't used it to open the space channel, this channel would not lead to the branch palace, but to a Jedi in this area. At that time, hehehe..."

After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, all the palaces in this area will be warned soon and prepare for the response in advance!"

At this point, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, "Our Soul Palace is not a loose garbage organization like Danta, there will not be such a loophole..."

“I see!” Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then nodded with relief, “This way, I feel relieved!”

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped into the space crack, followed by the old ghost Zhaixing.

After the two figures disappeared, the dark space cracks also dissipated instantly, leaving only the desolate sound of the wind blowing the wild grass on the ground...

And deep underground, a hideous black palace stands tall.

Suddenly, the space in front of the huge palace shook, and then a space crack slowly tore out, and Lin Yuan and the old ghost Zhaixing slowly walked out.

"Finally home!"

Looking at the familiar huge palace in front of him, a trace of relief flashed in the eyes of the old ghost Zhaixing: "Familiar old place, and familiar... old guy!"

Before he finished speaking, a little starlight appeared on his hand. Then his figure flashed and he instantly appeared a hundred meters ahead. He struck out into the air without hesitation, "Don't play tricks, you damn old woman..."

The next moment, a claw with bright moonlight suddenly stretched out from the void and attacked the Starry Palm.

"boom--"

The two palms touched each other, the moonlight and starlight intertwined, and fierce air ripples burst out in an instant.

“Hehehe, Lan Yue, I’m the winner this time! Retreat—”

The old ghost Zhaixing shouted loudly, and the place where his palms met suddenly shone with starlight. In the blink of an eye, all the moonlight dissipated, and an old woman in a robe with moon patterns suddenly took several steps back in the air before she could steady herself.

"Six-star Dou Zun... Heh, old dead ghost Zhaixing, you have made a good harvest this time!"

The old woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at the old ghost Zhaixing with joy in his eyes. There was a hint of relief and amusement in her eyes.

Seeing this, the laughing old ghost Zhaixing had an unnatural expression in his eyes.

"cough--"

He coughed dryly, then his figure flashed and landed beside Lin Yuan, standing half a step behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Alright, old lady Yuehua, the routine exchange ends here. In front of Lord Yuan, you and I must not lose manners!"

Hearing this, Yue Hua Tian Zun also became serious, and quickly clasped his hands and said respectfully: "Greetings to Yuan Tian Zun!"

She had learned about the deputy hall master's arrangements through the message from the Heavenly Lord Token.

If nothing else happens, for a period of time afterwards, she and Zhaixing will be directly under the command of the young Yuan Tianzun.

Looking at Yuehua Tianzun's respectful look, Lin Yuan nodded secretly in his heart.

"The person who partners with Zhaixing really knows the rules!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan raised his hand and chuckled, "Thank you for your courtesy, Senior Lan Yue. I hope we can work together in the future and contribute to the Soul Palace together. This is our first meeting, so let this medicine refining certificate be a first meeting gift!"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and a white jade slip flew out of the ring and landed in front of Lan Yue Tianzun.

There was a hint of surprise in Lan Yue Tianzun's eyes, but after receiving the gaze from Zhai Xing Old Ghost, he immediately reacted and hurriedly took the jade slip.

"Thank you, Lord Yuan! If there is anything I can do, please feel free to tell me." She bowed.

From Zhaixing's anxious eyes just now, Lanyue Tianzun already understood that the value of this so-called medicine refining certificate was probably very high.

"Since senior said so, I won't be polite either!" Lin Yuan clapped his hands and said with a smile.

Then, he straightened his body, looked at Zhaixing Lanyue seriously, and said: "To be honest, I do need your help with something. You two have been operating in this southern region for many years, so you must be quite familiar with this beast region..."
