Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 300: Elder Alchemist, Phoenix Blood Essence
"Young friend, are you serious about becoming a guest elder of Donglong Island?" Zhu Li asked in a deep voice.

"What? Senior, are you unwilling to accept it?" Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Not belonging to any powerful family, nor being anyone's disciple, was once a major shortcoming of Lin Yuan. However, when he cultivated to this point and grew up, it became a major advantage for him.

This means that Lin Yuan’s position is extremely flexible and he does not need to be bound by anything. As long as the conditions are right, he can join any force without any psychological pressure.

Just like now...

“Haha!” Lin Yuan chuckled and said calmly: “As far as I know, there is no eighth-grade master in Donglong Island. My joining can help you transform the accumulated medicinal materials into your foundation… It would be a waste to eat many medicinal materials directly.”

"As for the splitting of the Grand Void Ancient Dragon, I also know about it, and there is no risk of further leaks."

Zhu Li pondered over Lin Yuan's words for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed to him.

Donglong Island does not have any high-level alchemists, especially those who are responsible for refining medicine, so the use of its own huge medicinal material library... is extremely crude and extremely inefficient.

The physique of the Taixu Ancient Dragon naturally determines that it is impossible for a high-level alchemist to be born in the clan. In order to prevent the secret of the split of the Ancient Dragon Clan from being leaked, high-level alchemists from outside cannot be recruited - the trust issue is ultimately difficult to resolve.

However, Lin Yuan's appearance and joining seemed to be the best natural solution.

Firstly, this person already knew about the split of the Ancient Dragon Clan, so there was no problem of keeping it confidential. His important status in Danta was also enough to prevent the Ancient Dragon Clan from keeping silent about him.

Secondly, this person is a 20-year-old eighth-grade six-color master, and he is expected to become a ninth-grade grandmaster in the future. His ability in alchemy is more than enough.

Thirdly, this man is Zi Yan's 'brother', and Zhu Li is fully aware of the close relationship between the two. After all, his own little princess is still sleeping soundly on his lap, so there is no trust issue at all.

Fourthly, the other party has taken the initiative to propose to join, and if you still don’t agree... that would be a bit tactless.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Zhu Li's lips, and he said gently: "Since my friend is willing to become a guest elder of our clan, my Donglong Island will naturally be honored..."

As for letting Lin Yuan be the cook, Zhu Li just ignored it.

However, he also felt Lin Yuan's love for Zi Yan. It seemed that what Hei Qing reported was true. No wonder Zi Yan, who grew up outside, was in such a good condition.

Zhu Li pondered for a moment, then made the decision: "I can make the decision on this matter. In addition to the other elders, we will appoint another alchemist elder to handle alchemy-related work. His authority and position will be equal to the other elders, but he will only be responsible to Princess Zi Yan."

After that, he looked at Lin Yuan seriously, "My dear friend Lin Yuan, I'd like you to take on this position...how do you think?"

"Elder Alchemist...huh?" Hearing the familiar name, a hint of amusement flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes - Medusa would definitely show an interesting expression when she heard this name.

"Is there anything wrong?" Zhu Li asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry about it, I just remembered some things from the past." Lin Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "Elder Zhuli, I have accepted this matter. From now on, I will be the elder alchemist of Donglong Island. In the future, I will assist Donglong Island with matters concerning elixirs."

"Third Elder, you can select some necessary elixirs from the medicinal materials recorded in the Soul Jade Slip. Prepare the medicinal materials and I will arrange for someone to refine them."

"I will be fully responsible for Zi Yan's elixir." Gently stroking his forehead, he explained: "I will also recruit some alchemists in Danta. For elixirs of the seventh grade and below, as long as Dragon Island prepares more medicinal materials, I can arrange personnel to refine them."

"I am responsible for matchmaking so that Donglong Island can obtain the supply of elixirs and improve some of its basic foundation and strength."

"Donglong Island will be Zi Yan's subordinate in the future. It cannot be too weak. We cannot wait for Zi Yan to grow up before we can revitalize it. We need to start preparing now..."

Afterwards, Lin Yuan chattered on and on about a lot of suggestions, various suggestions for the development of Dragon Island.

After Zhu Li heard this, he looked at Lin Yuan with a bit more wonder... Zi Yan, this 'brother', is really dedicated to his duties. He just started to help Donglong Island plan for its future after taking up his post. What he said makes a lot of sense. He is even more elder than the elders.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Li said in a deep voice: "I will carefully select the required elixirs and prepare the herbs later."

"As for blocking the news about Zi Yan... you are right. I will block the news immediately. Before Zi Yan's royal bloodline matures, only the most trustworthy people on Dragon Island will know about her affairs."

"After that, you can take Zi Yan out to practice for a few years as an elder alchemist. This obstacle shouldn't be too big."

"That's good!" Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"The medicinal materials and bloodline inheritance that Zi Yan needs will be taken care of by Dragon Island." After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Li continued, "It's just that you will have to worry about the elixir! You know these better than me, so I won't say much..."

Lin Yuan straightened his expression and promised: "Don't worry, Elder Zhuli, I will help Zi Yan grow up within a hundred years."

After hearing Lin Yuan's promise, Zhu Li was also delighted and said in a gentle voice: "My friend, your words make me feel at ease! I'm sorry to bother you with the follow-up... Is there anything that our Donglong Island can help you with?"

"Here it comes!" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up and he nodded secretly in his heart.

He proposed many favorable things to Donglong Island, and he did not come here without any request. Coming to such a treasure trove of medicinal materials...how could he return empty-handed?

After Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, he slowly said: "I am indeed looking for some specific items, which may require the assistance of Donglong Island."

"Oh?" Zhu Li raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on his face: "What exactly is it? If Dragon Island can lend a hand, we will definitely go all out! If it is medicinal herbs, you don't have to worry, we have a rich reserve..."

“Thank you, senior.” Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “Are there any news about the Soul Infant Fruit and the Spirit Dragon Heavenly Ganoderma on Dragon Island?”

The rarity of these two strange objects is even greater than that of strange fire.

Hearing this, Zhu Li looked at Lin Yuan with doubt in his eyes: "Soul Infant Fruit and Spirit Dragon Heavenly Ganoderma? Aren't these two spiritual objects of heaven and earth that can repair the original soul energy? Is your original soul energy damaged?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "No, I will practice an important secret technique later, and I will need these two things."

"The secret method of cultivation... I see!" Zhu Li pondered for a moment, his expression became serious, "My clan does have these two items in its collection! However, the Soul Infant Fruit of my clan is of silver quality, not the highest quality gold Soul Infant Fruit."

"That's enough." A hint of joy flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he said in a steady tone: "I want both of them, the more the better! In return, I will refine a few Yizun pills for the island..."

For the Taixu Ancient Dragon who is at a bottleneck period, a pill can save decades of hard training time. Its value is self-evident.

"We are all family, why should we be so polite!" Zhu Li waved his hand, smiling: "Anything else you need? The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has a long history and a long life. We have a rich collection of ancient items..."

"Indeed, I have something to ask of you." Lin Yuan did not beat around the bush and said directly, "In order to break through to Dou Zun, I need to refine a special elixir in the near future." "This elixir is very special. When refining it, it needs to be made with the essence and blood of some special monsters. Does Donglong Island have a collection of high-quality eighth-level ancient sky phoenix essence and blood?"

This special pill is naturally the natal blood pill.

Lin Yuan originally wanted to use the blood essence of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix in the ring. After processing and purifying them, it would basically meet the requirements for refining medicine.

However, since we have come to Dragon Island, there are naturally better choices.

The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, as the final winner of the ancient war of demon beasts, seized many of the remains and blood essences of other clans. Although it is unknown how much remains after so many years, it is believed that there should still be some remains.

In the original trajectory, Beilong Island had invited the Nine Netherworld Python to fight against Donglong Island together in exchange for the blood of the ancient sky snake.

After hearing this, Zhu Li finally realized something - Lin Yuan was not only a 20-year-old eighth-grade master, but also a powerful man who would soon break through to the Dou Zun level in terms of cultivation.

The identity of the eighth-grade six-color alchemist was too dazzling, causing Long to subconsciously ignore the terrifying cultivation level of the young man in front of him.

But if you think about it carefully, even if you ignore Lin Yuan's alchemy skills, this kind of talent in cultivation is quite terrifying. It is no exaggeration to call him a fighting saint... At this rate of progress, he will be able to surpass Zhu Li within a hundred years.

Thinking of this, Zhu Li's eyes became more eager again.

However, before he could respond, the other person could no longer hold back and made a move...

"No!!" Zi Yan, who was still 'sleeping' after the effect of the drug wore off, suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and glared at Lin Yuan angrily.

"Haven't we already agreed on this? Your body belongs to me. You can't use other people's blood without my permission. If you need blood, wouldn't it be better to use my ancient dragon blood?"

"Isn't it possible that... my body can't satisfy you?"

The petite body and childish face, coupled with these bad words, made Lin Yuan's mouth twitch... Where did this girl learn all this from?
Zhu Li on the side was also speechless. How could it make sense to voluntarily give away one's essence and blood to others?
"This special possessive desire..." Zhu Li looked at Zi Yan and Lin Yuan deeply, with a meaningful look on his face... Zi Yan's feelings for Lin Yuan are obviously not a simple brother-sister relationship!

As a fellow Taixu ancient dragon, Zhu Li, who is well aware of the bloodline and habits of the ancient dragon clan, has a subtle grasp of Zi Yan's mentality.

On the other side, facing Zi Yan's "questioning", Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, stroked her soft purple hair, and said in a deep voice: "Girl, of course I will use your blood essence, but this pill requires the blood essence of many kinds of monsters."

After that, he explained it in detail, and Zi Yan reluctantly agreed.

"Then it's settled. You have to use my blood and essence." Zi Yan stared at Lin Yuan seriously.

"Well, I understand..." Lin Yuan nodded, and then turned to Zhu Li, "Senior Zhu Li, does Dragon Island have the eighth-level ancient sky phoenix blood essence?"

“The blood of the Phoenix…” Zhu Li smiled and said gently, “If it were anywhere else, you would definitely not be able to find it. But our clan is an exception! We do have the blood of the Phoenix at the eighth level left in our clan, and I will give it to you later…”

"Also, there are some Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python items on Dragon Island. Your female companion may also be able to use them. I'll give them to you, little friend!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Senior. Lin Yuan is grateful."

Zhu Li smiled, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said meaningfully: "We are all family, Zi Yan will be in your hands from now on! I will go get the things..."

After saying that, his figure flashed and instantly disappeared in front of the two of them.

After Zhu Li left, Zi Yan whispered, "Lin Yuan, the old man said that I will be able to break through to the eighth level after I accept the inheritance of the clan. It will take a month to accept the inheritance, so you just wait for me for a month, and then I will give you my eighth-level blood essence."

Hearing Zi Yan's words, a touch of warmth appeared in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he nodded: "Well! I will wait until you finish the inheritance before taking action..."

Zi Yan smiled triumphantly and patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder. "That's right. From now on, I will protect you! Oh, and that, relax your control..."

As she spoke, purple light flashed in her eyes. With the cooperation of Lin Yuan, she extracted the original dragon energy from the latter's body: "Tomorrow I will begin to accept the ancient dragon's inheritance, and this thing will also be upgraded along with it..."
-
The next morning.

Three figures arrived early at the place where Lin Yuan and others were staying, Zhu Li and Hei Qing, as well as an old man who had never been seen before.

This old man had black and white hair similar to the ancient demon, and was dressed in a neat suit. He looked particularly cold and stern with his serious expression. The most impressive thing was his terrifying aura which far surpassed that of Zhu Li, a high-level semi-saint.

Fighting Saint, there is no doubt that this old man with a stern face is not a half-saint, but a genuine Fighting Saint.

"Lin Yuan, this is Elder Qi You, the elder of our clan who is responsible for protecting the ancient dragon heritage!" Zhu Li gestured to Lin Yuan at the cold old man and introduced him gently.

"Lin Yuan meets Senior Qi You!" Lin Yuan nodded and said calmly.

“Not bad…very good!” Qi You looked at Lin Yuan seriously. In Hei Qing’s surprised eyes, a smile appeared on his cold face: “Thank you for taking care of the princess over the years. I’ll take care of her in the future as well…”

Having already heard Zhu Li's information about Lin Yuan, Qi You would not put on airs and was quite friendly.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, senior! Zi Yan is my little sister. Like everyone else on Dragon Island, I will do my best to protect her and help her grow up quickly..."

As she spoke, Zi Yan walked out of the inner courtyard calmly with a stern face.

When Zi Yan appeared in front of him, Qi You quickly became excited, looking at Zi Yan with burning eyes - this was the smell of a pure-blooded royal family. At this moment, in Qi You's eyes, Zi Yan's whole body was emitting a dazzling light!

"My friend, this is what you talked about yesterday." Elder Zhuli handed a storage ring to Lin Yuan.

"Thank you, senior!" Lin Yuan took the ring and chuckled.

"It's just a small matter!" Zhu Li smiled, then turned to look at herself and said in a deep voice: "Princess Zi Yan, the Ancient Dragon Blood Pool is ready, let's go over now!"

"Yeah!" Zi Yan nodded and looked at Lin Yuan: "I'll be back soon."

After saying that, she slowly walked between Zhu Li and Qi You. Qi You waved his hand, and an invisible force spread silently, creating ripples that enveloped the three of them.

The next moment, there was a flash of light, and the figures of the three people disappeared instantly, leaving only ripples like water waves.

Hei Qing looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, I have found the place suitable for cultivation that you asked me to find..."
