Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 306: Using the Body as a Cauldron, Refining by Blood and Fire

After Zi Yan returned to her adult form, the two of them were affectionate for a while, and then left the secret realm of inheritance.

Lin Yuan went to find Qing Lin, gave her some things, and then returned to the alchemy square in the secret realm to make final preparations for refining his natal blood pill; Zi Yan went to find Zhu Li and Qi You to receive other inheritances from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

The inheritance of the ancient dragon royal family is extremely complete. Although some inheritances of the Fighting Saint stage are missing due to the disappearance of the old Dragon Emperor, there are still many inheritances available.

In the previous two months, Zi Yan was carrying out the most core bloodline inheritance.

And what she will do next is to pass on the fighting skills and secret techniques. With the wisdom refined by generations, she can make the most of the power of the ancient dragon bloodline and maximize her own combat power.

When Zi Yan can master all of these, she will be able to become a top powerhouse in the same realm.

After all, unlike most Dou Di bloodlines which mainly provide bonuses for cultivation, top-level Warcraft bloodlines such as the Ancient Dragon and Sky Phoenix have more obvious bonuses in combat.

The ultimate physical body, strength and control over space can be regarded as powerful weapons in battles in the same realm.

On the square, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, thinking about things related to Zi Yan.

"After that, I need to take Zi Yan to the Ancient Emperor's Cave to complete the missing part of the Dragon Emperor's inheritance. However, old Dragon Emperor... If Zi Yan's father knew that his daughter was taken away by me, he would not be so angry that he would slap me to death with one palm!"

A terrifying scene flashed through his mind, and Lin Yuan couldn't help but shudder... There was no way to compare it. Who could be sure of the thoughts of a daughter slave?
"Forget it, let's focus on the matter at hand..."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, took out an exquisite jade bottle, and narrowed his eyes slightly. In the jade bottle was a ball of purple-gold liquid, which flowed lightly, exuding a supreme and noble aura.

"We have obtained the purest blood of the ancient dragon royal family. Now, we have all the materials. It is time to proceed to the next step..."

After his mind was settled, Lin Yuan waved his hand and the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron flew out from the storage ring.

Afterwards, from time to time, thunder and strange phenomena appeared in the sky of the square, attracting the attention of some powerful ancient dragons.

However, these strange phenomena did not cause any damage. The pill thunders that had taken shape were all absorbed by a flash of golden light as they rushed into the thunderclouds. Amidst the rumbling sounds, they were all…

This strange phenomenon of heaven and earth lasted for nearly a month before it gradually subsided.

A month later, Lin Yuan looked at the three jade bottles floating in front of him and smiled with satisfaction. Looking closely, he saw three pills surrounded by spiritual mist, two red and one purple, suspended in them.

These three pills are among the many pills he has refined in this month.

The blood-colored pill among them is called Blood Spirit Guiyuan Pill, an eighth-grade three-colored pill. After taking it, it can completely restore the user's consumed qi and blood strength, and keep it in a vigorous state for a long time. It is effective for Dou Zun strongmen and eighth-level magic beasts.

The purple pill among them was the Xuanmai Fushi Pill that had been refined before. However, this pill, which was originally of the eighth grade with four colors, had been upgraded to the eighth grade with six colors by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan took the Xuanmai Fushi Pill and swallowed it in one gulp without hesitation.

The eight-grade, four-colored Xuanmai Fushi Dan can rebuild and greatly strengthen the meridians, improve the potential for cultivation, and allow those with Dou Zong potential to have the opportunity to transform into those with Dou Zun potential.

And if the eighth-grade, six-color Xuanmai Fushi Pill is taken by someone with outstanding talent, then...

The Xuanmai Fushi Pill melted in the mouth as it moved, and tremendous medicinal power was released from it. As it moved, Lin Yuan's meridians seemed to be swallowed by the fire from the earth's core, and also seemed to be wrapped in ten thousand years of ice. The pain and itchiness were intertwined and extremely unbearable.

Lin Yuan clenched his teeth, closed his eyes and immersed his mind into his body, concentrating on guiding the purple medicinal power to flow throughout his body.

Every meridian that the medicine passes through gradually widens under this extreme stimulation, becoming tougher and more elastic, as if it can carry more powerful fighting spirit.

At the same time, Lin Yuan's flesh and blood were constantly reorganized and strengthened under the influence of the vast medicinal power, and earth-shaking changes occurred during the tempering. Every inch of his flesh and blood seemed to contain infinite power and vitality.

As the Xuanmai Fushi Pills were continuously consumed, his physical strength and recovery ability continued to increase at an astonishing rate.

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.

When the last trace of medicinal power was completely absorbed, Lin Yuan's breath fell into silence. An hour later, he suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of light as solid as substance shot out, like a thunderbolt across the sky, and a loud thunder sounded.

Lin Yuan clenched his fists, feeling the powerful force surging within them, a hint of satisfaction emerged in his eyes.

With the tempering of the Xuanmai Fushi Dan, he had almost completed the process of breaking through and standing up again. Not to mention his improved talent, his meridians and flesh and blood alone were no less than those of an ordinary eighth-level monster.

Feeling the breakthrough opportunity surging in his heart, Lin Yuan just smiled slightly. He had no intention of having the breakthrough opportunity that countless practitioners dreamed of.

Now he can indeed easily seize this breakthrough opportunity and enter the breakthrough state.

However, this ordinary breakthrough method is not what Lin Yuan wants this time... The breakthrough he is seeking this time is a practice of his own cultivation philosophy and a confirmation of his future cultivation path.

With a faint smile, Lin Yuan closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for a while, then spent some time mastering this transformed body.

Half a day later.

On a high peak in the secret realm, Lin Yuan stood with his fist clenched, raised his head, took a deep breath, and shot his sword straight into the sky.

"Everything is ready, it's time to refine the Life Blood Pill!"

“Are you here?” Sensing the familiar powerful aura, Lin Yuan smiled with relief and respectfully bowed towards a place in the void. “I have mastered the use of the Soul Pill. With its help, I should be able to refine the highest-level Blood Pill…”

Then, he took a step forward, and the space trembled slightly. His figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from the giant peak that he had blasted into a mess.

The next moment, Lin Yuan walked out from the space ripples and landed in front of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron on the square.

With a thought, ten shadow clones of 'Lin Yuan' filled with spiritual energy flew over from not far away and formed a mysterious formation tacitly.

"Spirit Controlling Array!"

With a low shout, the ten Lin Yuans formed seals with their hands and moved simultaneously. As their qi intertwined and crisscrossed, the spirit control array began to operate. The spiritual energy in the void was continuously refined and gathered, surrounding Lin Yuan within a ten-meter radius...

Seeing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly, then snapped his fingers, and the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire rose in his palm.

Looking at the green flame in his palm, he sighed softly: "Old buddy, this is probably the last time I will use you to refine medicine alone before I reach the top. Let's finish this journey together!"

After advancing to the Dou Zun realm, he will replace the original fire with the Qianlan Ice Flame, and merge the Qinglian Earth Core Fire into the Qianlan Heart Flame.

Shaking his head, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand. The green flame turned into a firebird. The firebird flapped its wings, circled around him, and then flew lightly into the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, turning into a ball of burning green flame.

As the blue flames rose, the temperature in the square rose rapidly, and the world quickly became scorching hot.

Lin Yuan gently touched the Dark Sea Ring on his hand, and hundreds of medicinal herbs flew out of the Dark Sea Ring, each of which exuded a powerful energy fluctuation. Without any hesitation, he gently waved his sleeves, and hundreds of medicinal herbs rushed into the medicine cauldron one after another. They were instantly refined by the blazing green flames in the cauldron, leaving behind the pure medicinal power they needed, and the residue was burned to nothingness.

At the same time, vast spiritual energy is injected to enhance the spirituality of these medicinal powers.

In this smooth refining process, a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Sensing the hundreds of medicinal powers sealed in the cauldron, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with excitement, "The refining is complete, and the next step is the real highlight..."

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, his expression instantly became solemn, and the seals on his hands changed at the same time.

"Soul Transformation: Double Transformation!"

With a low shout in his heart, the "Soul Pill Essence" continuously flowed out from the Origin Soul Pill and then merged into the depths of his soul, causing his soul realm to soar instantly. In the blink of an eye, it was elevated to a level that was only a step away from the peak of the spiritual realm.

If we talk about it in detail based on the alchemist's grade, it is the soul power of an eighth-grade six-color alchemist that is upgraded to the soul power of an eighth-grade eight-color alchemist.

After a month of experiments, he has mastered the method of accurately improving his soul power, which can not only reduce the burden on the soul, but also maintain this peak state for a long time.

As his soul power increased, Lin Yuan had more room to control his power.

Lin Yuan flipped his hand, and a jade bottle containing a blood-colored pill appeared in his palm. He took out the Blood Spirit Guiyuan Pill, sealed its medicinal power with his soul power, and then swallowed it.

"Use your body as a cauldron and condense."

With a light shout, a green flame emerged from the blood elixir in his body.

Then, he quickly formed a few hand seals, and the pure energy and blood power gathered towards the blood pill, interweaving with the blazing green flames to form a green and red cauldron of blood and fire, tightly wrapping the blood pill that was almost one with Lin Yuan.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Yuan snapped his fingers and two jade bottles flew out from the Dark Sea Ring.

In one of the jade bottles, there was a ball of purple-gold blood, which was Zi Yan's Taixu ancient dragon essence blood; and in the other jade bottle, there was a ball of blue-red blood like a pearl, which was the ancient sky phoenix essence blood given by Zhu Li.

Lin Yuan hooked his finger, and the seal opened naturally. Two pools of blood flew out of the jade bottle. Immediately, two forces of pressure from the blood spread out.

As if old enemies sensed each other, the ancient dragon's blood essence and the heavenly phoenix's blood essence reacted and they began an instinctive confrontation at the same time. The aura of the Taixu ancient dragon and the ancient heavenly phoenix collided, emitting a mysterious and intense ancient aura.

As time went by, the confrontation between the two intensified, and over the wide square, faint sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries could be heard.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan's soul power dissipated, controlling the ancient dragon's essence and blood to wrap up the heavenly phoenix's essence and blood. After hesitating for a moment, his eyes sharpened and he swallowed the mixed essence and blood in one gulp.

The mixed essence and blood entered the body, and the soul power and the original dragon energy surged up, combining with the remaining will of Zi Yan in the ancient dragon's essence and blood, completely suppressing the will of the Heavenly Phoenix's essence and blood, forcibly interrupting its energy that was about to explode.

Under the traction of soul power, dragon energy and mixed essence and blood were drawn into the cauldron of blood and fire.

"Sacrifice fire, refine blood!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan controlled the vast energy and blood in his body and continuously rushed it towards the Cauldron of Blood and Fire.

The majestic blood and energy intertwined and merged with the Green Lotus Earth Fire. After a moment, a blood lotus fire, as red as blood and burning like a lotus, ignited in the cauldron of blood and fire in his body, refining the crystal blood pill in the cauldron.

The huge consumption of energy and blood made Lin Yuan's face turn pale, but his eyes remained calm, and it was obvious that he was prepared.

The Blood Spirit Guiyuan Pill that was prepared in advance was for this purpose, and just to be on the safe side, Lin Yuan also specially prepared two pills.

With a thought, he released some of the sealed medicinal power of the Blood Spirit Guiyuan Pill and allowed it to merge into his body. With the nourishment of this medicinal power, his complexion quickly regained its rosy color.

Sensing the condition inside his body, Lin Yuan nodded imperceptibly and looked towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron. He saw that the hundreds of medicinal powers in the cauldron were extremely rich in spirituality under the warm nourishment of the huge amount of spiritual energy gathered by the Soul Controlling Array.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan changed his handprint and uttered a word in a deep voice: "Accept!"

The next moment, a vast soul force surged out from between his eyebrows, drawing on the power of hundreds of medicines in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron.

Hundreds of medicinal powers gathered towards him like trickles of water. Wrapped in the power of the soul, they penetrated his flesh and blood and gathered towards the cauldron of blood and fire in his body.

Lin Yuan was focusing on three things: one point on drawing the medicinal power into his body; one point on manipulating the Qi and blood to maintain the fire of the blood lotus; and one point on blending the various materials and controlling the temperature of the blood-colored flame with extreme precision so that the many materials began to fuse.

"Fusion must be flawless!"

Lin Yuan recited silently in his heart, and his soul power became more and more concentrated, bringing every subtle change under control.

As time went by, at a certain moment, in the tempering of the blood lotus fire that was fueled by qi and blood, the blood elixir, essence blood, dragon qi, and hundreds of medicinal powers finally began to slowly merge.

As the fusion progressed, Lin Yuan's aura also began to undergo mysterious changes...
-
Secret realm, in the void.

"Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain to the princess."

Seeing that Lin Yuan's alchemy seemed to be on the right track, Qi You heaved a sigh of relief in his heart: "This kid is really bold! His cultivation is not even Dou Zun, but he dares to swallow the eighth-level royal blood essence of two overlords at the same time."

That’s right, the Heavenly Phoenix Blood Essence that Zhu You gave to Lin Yuan was not simple. It was not the ordinary Heavenly Phoenix Blood Essence, but the Blood Essence of an eighth-rank Heavenly Phoenix royal family.

After all, the blood essence of the ancient Sky Phoenix whose bloodline is not strong enough is not worthy of being treasured until now.

After swallowing this kind of eighth-level blood essence, without the help of Zi Yan, a member of the ancient dragon royal family with top-level bloodline, let alone utilizing it, it would be a blessing not to be seriously injured by the energy explosion.

"However, Princess Zi Yan is really..."

Thinking that his princess had lost her body just after he and Zhu Li left for a while, and had generously donated her blood and essence, Qi You's face suddenly showed a bit of helplessness, and his eyes looked at Lin Yuan with a bit more hostility...

This kid, didn't they say before that they were brother and sister? How did they become like that in the blink of an eye?

After roaring inwardly for a while, Qi You finally shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, the princess's decision is not something we old guys have the right to comment on. Besides..."

He stepped out of the void and looked at Lin Yuan, whose body was shrouded in blood-red flames: "This kid's talent for cultivation and alchemy is worthy of Princess Zi Yan. Well, now that things have come to this, I should prepare some life-saving items for him!"

With his mind settled, Qi You formed a few hand seals, and the vast force of space gathered in front of him...

It seems that the things that Lin Yuan originally wanted to get by befriending Qi You are now within his reach due to the changes in his relationship with Zi Yan.
