Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 326 First Meeting, Dan Chen

"As for the transaction conditions they proposed, they are not difficult."

Thinking of the conditions in the letter, Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "One pill for each, and some other seventh- and eighth-grade pills, um... it looks like it's for Gu Zhen. The things will be handed over to Gu Zhen in the Thunder Realm. This plan is thoughtful."

After putting away the letter, he took out a huge map. After spreading it out, several snake-like marks immediately came into view.

"Are these the seven places related to the Eastern Region and the Ancient Sky Serpent?"

In the original trajectory, the mutated soul of the ancient sky snake was of great help to Qinglin, and Lin Yuan didn't want her to miss this opportunity.

Whether it was the Ancient Clan or the Soul Palace, he had been asking people to find out about the relevant places. At present, with the seven places on the map, thirteen possible locations have been identified.

Lin Yuan took a closer look at the information on the map, and finally locked his eyes on three locations: "Nine Peaks Mountain Range, Bone Spirit Mountain Range, Sky Snake Mountain Range... These three are the most likely."

After marking the order of exploration on the map, he put the map away again.

"Elder Ye Chong, where are Xin Lan and Zi Yan?" After sensing a little, he turned his head to look at Ye Chong... Zi Yan and Xin Lan were not within his perception.

“I don’t know the specific situation either.” Ye Zhong shook his head, with a hint of worry in his voice.

"The day before yesterday morning, Miss Zi Yan said she was going to a place to hunt for treasures, and she wanted to find someone who knew about medicinal herbs to go with her. Then she took Xin Lan with her. She hasn't come back yet, and there's been no news..."

"Treasure hunting...this girl!" Shaking his head, a hint of doting flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

As the princess of Donglong Island, Zi Yan is now a real 'little rich woman'. She has no shortage of medicinal materials, and treasure hunting... is now more of a hobby for her!
"Treasure hunting, treasure hunting, don't find someone else's treasure house..."

Shaking his head, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand, a hint of purple flashed in his eyes, and a mysterious purple-gold rune appeared on his palm. "Let me see, Zi Yan is..."

"That direction, is it... the Dan Realm?" After sensing it through the dragon seal on his palm, he felt relieved.

"Don't worry, they are in a very safe place." After putting away the dragon seal, Lin Yuan looked at Ye Zhong with a smile and said calmly: "By the way... start collecting these herbs as soon as possible. There is no limit to the quantity, the more the better."

As he spoke, he took out the list of auxiliary materials for the Thunder Tribulation Pill, handed it to Ye Zhong, and then indicated the direction of the secret room.

"Inside the secret room, there is a senior who is in seclusion. When I'm not here, he will take my place in Shengdan City to support you. After that, you can let go and do your best to help me with what I have asked you to do."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Ye Zhong's eyes narrowed... Seven-Star Dou Zun, this strength exceeded that of the Great Elder Qiu Ling, and there are few people in Shengdan City who can reach this level.

With such a strong person to protect you, you don't have to worry about being punished for possessing a treasure and you can act boldly.

Thinking of this, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I understand!"

"I'm going to Dan Tower now. You protect the senior inside. Don't let anything disturb him..." After Lin Yuan gave the instructions, he moved and flashed towards the direction of Dan Tower.
-
In a hall on the upper floor of Dan Tower, two people sat opposite each other and drank tea.

"Congratulations, Lin Yuan! The Great Elders voted unanimously in favor of the proposal. You are now a candidate for the top position in Danta..."

Xuan Kongzi looked at Lin Yuan with a smile and said in amazement: "Such a young candidate for a giant is extremely rare in the history of our Danta. If you have no objection, this news will be made public tomorrow."

"Thank you for the praise, Master Xuan. I have no objection to the efforts of the seniors this time." Lin Yuan nodded slightly and chuckled.

"That's good!" Xuan Kongzi nodded and changed the subject.

"However, I hope you can keep the specific information related to this matter confidential for the time being. To run this matter well, we need enough time to perfect the results and announce it to the outside world at the right time. Perhaps, you will need to contribute at that time..."

Seeing that Lin Yuan looked a little confused, he explained: "We all think that it is the best choice for the champion of the Alchemy Conference to announce the new branch of alchemy..."

The implication of this is that it almost assumes that Lin Yuan will be the champion of the next Alchemy Competition.

But it is no wonder. Under the current circumstances, if no genius from the Medicine Clan emerges, then it will take at least an alchemist of Xuan Kongzi’s generation to have a chance to compete with Lin Yuan in the Alchemy Conference.

"In terms of operations, if necessary, I will do my best to assist!" Lin Yuan waved his hand casually and chuckled.

The art of medicinal diet is also his hard work. It is a means for him to leave a mark on the world after failing to reach the top. Naturally, he is willing to contribute his efforts.

While the two were chatting casually, there was a knock on the door, and then a deep voice sounded outside the door: "President, I have brought the other people who were scheduled to go to the Thunder Clan to watch the ceremony."

"Come in!" Xuan Kong said loudly, and slowly stood up. "You are here today, so it's a good opportunity for everyone to say hello and get to know each other."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan quickly stood up and looked towards the palace gate with interest.

Not long after, the palace door creaked and slowly opened. Then, Elder Sheng walked in slowly with four young men and women.

"Lin Yuan, these are the people I mentioned before who will go to the Thunder Tribe to watch the ceremony with Danta."

Xuan Kongzi smiled and introduced everyone to Lin Yuan.

He pointed at the stunning enchantress in a black dress and chuckled, "This is Ying'er. You already know her, so I won't go into details!"

Before Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, Cao Ying winked at Lin Yuan playfully. Her eyes moved and she looked around, so charming that it made people unable to look away.

"Long time no see, Miss Ying'er." Lin Yuan waved and greeted her generously.

"Hehe!" Cao Ying covered her mouth and chuckled, but there was a hint of resentment in her voice: "Brother Lin Xian is really a busy man. You clearly said that we would have a good exchange when we have the chance, but I visited you several times and couldn't even see you..."

"I have a lot of things to do recently. I will definitely communicate with you if there is a chance!" Lin Yuan said gently.

Hearing this, Cao Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, and a charming smile appeared on the corners of her lips, "Haha, I'll remember this!"

Beside her, a man in black with a seventh-grade alchemist badge on his chest looked at Cao Ying's interested look at the moment, his heart sank slightly, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes.

In the past few years, he almost regarded Cao Ying as his exclusive lover.

In his opinion, with Cao Ying's excellence, who else in Danta could be worthy of this enchantress except him, no matter in terms of status, strength, or alchemy skills?

However, when his eyes swept across the eighth-grade badge on Lin Yuan's chest, he calmed down in an instant, but a trace of dejection flashed in his eyes... The person in front of him was not someone he was qualified to compare with or pursue. There were not many people in this world who could recognize the gap between themselves and Lin Yuan and still pursue him as firmly as Xiao Yan.

"Song Qing, disciple of Elder Qiu Ling!" Xuan Kongzi pointed at the man in black.

"Hmm!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and looked at the next person following Xuan Kongzi's finger... a young man with an unfamiliar face, but with a vaguely familiar aura.

"Who is this?" He raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"This little fellow is a disciple of an old friend of mine." Xuan Kongzi looked at the young man beside him and chuckled, "His teacher is also an acquaintance of yours, and he asked me to pass on a message to you, asking you to take care of his disciple."

"Chen Yan, nice to meet you, Mr. Yao Jun." The young man in alchemist robes apologized.

"Chen Yan... huh!" Lin Yuan smiled slightly... Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were not confused at all. They knew to hide their identities to avoid expanding the conflict between Xingyun Pavilion and Soul Palace.

Due to Lin Yuan's intervention, the trajectory of fate has changed significantly.

The most typical example is that although Yao Lao was resurrected, the hostility between Xingyun Pavilion and Soul Palace was much less severe than in the original trajectory, otherwise he would not have been able to travel to Danta.

There are three reasons for this change:
First, due to Lin Yuan's intervention, Yao Lao not only resurrected a few years earlier, but also was never captured by the Soul Palace, never tortured by the Soul Palace, and never smashed the branch halls of the Soul Palace. Naturally, the hatred between the two was much shallower than the original trajectory;
Secondly, Elder Mu Gu, who was the most hostile to Yao Lao in the Soul Palace, and Guardian Wu, who knew about the relationship between Yao Lao and the Xiao family, were both killed by Lin Yuan;
Thirdly, since Lin Yuan took the initiative to join the Soul Palace, the Soul Palace had more promising alternatives in alchemy and naturally valued Yao Lao's alchemy skills much less, and was not so willing to take action against him.

Now, as long as Yao Lao does not take the initiative to become hostile or Xiao Yan is exposed, the conflict between Xingyun Pavilion and Soul Palace will not be too big.

However, once Xiao Yan's Xiao family identity is exposed, and the master-disciple relationship between Xiao Yan and Yao Lao is exposed, the Soul Palace will definitely take action against Xingyun Pavilion. In addition to the possibility of being taken away by the Ancient Clan, the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade may also be taken away by someone from the original Medicine Clan.

This possibility, even if there is only a trace, is enough for the Soul Palace to take action against the Xingyun Pavilion... Regarding the ancient jade, the Soul Palace's policy is 'rather kill the wrong person than let him go'.

As thoughts raced through his mind, Xuan Kongzi introduced the last person.

“Lin Yuan, this little girl is Dan Chen from the Dan family. She may be a genius who surpasses you! However, she is young and weak, so you must not bully her…”

"Haha, Master Xuan, you're joking. Why would I bully a little girl?" Lin Yuan smiled helplessly and looked in the direction he followed his gaze.

What I saw was a girl who looked like a 'little white rabbit' for some reason.

The girl looked young, only about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing an exquisite lavender dress and a gray cloak that shone with a mysterious glow. Under the dim light, her beautiful face looked particularly pale, with a faint morbid beauty...

Sensing Lin Yuan's gaze, Dan Chen raised his head slightly, and after meeting Lin Yuan's gaze, he quickly dodged away, looking timid and gentle.

This look reminded him of Qing Lin when they first met... The girl who was now graceful, clever and smart once looked like a 'frightened rabbit'.

However, although Dan Chen looks weak, his soul and cultivation are unexpectedly powerful.

Although he is young, his cultivation has reached the Dou Wang level, and his soul power is outstanding. Although he is slightly inferior to Cao Ying, he is much better than Xiao Yan.

In the future, Dan Chen can become an 18-year-old Dou Zong and an eighth-grade alchemist.

Judging from this point of view alone, what Xuankongzi said just now is true - Dan Chen does have some possibility of surpassing Lin Yuan.

"She is worthy of being the proud daughter of the Dan family." Lin Yuan was somewhat impressed.

The five major families in Dan Domain are Dan, Cao, Bai, Qiu and Ye. Although the Cao family has the greatest influence at present, the strongest one... has always been the Dan family.

In the "Catalogue of Alchemy Recipes" that Lin Yuan obtained, there were three people from the Alchemy family. The one with the highest achievement was an eighth-grade, nine-color alchemist. However, the Cao family only had one eighth-grade, eight-color alchemist in the small Alchemy Tower.

This is also the reason why Cao Ying was accepted as a disciple by the giant, but Dan Chen was not... The alchemy inheritance of his family is already powerful enough.

However, even for a powerful alchemy family like the Dan family, it is still extremely rare to give birth to a woman like Dan Chen, who possesses an extremely special spiritual talent.

Dan Chen has a special physique that can absorb soul power.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's eyes showed a hint of interest. He slowly walked to Dan Chen and slowly extended his hand towards her arm: "Hello, Miss Dan Chen!"

"don't want……"

When the girl saw Lin Yuan actually coming towards her, she immediately closed her eyes and said hurriedly.

However, her voice did not stop Lin Yuan, who grabbed her right hand as fast as lightning. At this moment, a strange suction force suddenly erupted from the girl's body, trying to suck out Lin Yuan's soul power.

However, no matter how special a physique is, it will not pose any threat in the face of an absolute power gap.

No matter how much the suction force pulled, Lin Yuan's soul... did not move at all.

"Are you okay?" Dan Chen also quickly noticed something was wrong. The young man who came into contact with him had a very calm expression on his face, without a single sign of abnormality.

"Of course, although your physique is very mysterious, your strength is still insufficient and you don't have the power to shake my soul." As he said this, Lin Yuan smiled faintly, and with a thought, he drew out a wisp of pure and spiritual soul power and passed it to Dan Chen.

Feeling this pure soul power, Danchen's body quickly absorbed it like a long-drought finally ending in rain.

After a moment, Danchen opened his eyes, a look of intoxication appeared in his eyes. His sweet tongue licked his lips unconsciously, and his cheeks became red as if he was drunk.

"Such a weak body, but such a high soul power conversion rate. This physique... is worth studying!"

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked in the direction of Xuan Kongzi: "Master Xuan, please help me tell Senior Dan Ling that I want to take Dan Chen as my disciple. This is not a joke, please ask the Dan family and Dan Chen to seriously consider it. If you are willing, this master-disciple relationship can be established."

After a pause, he continued, "By the way, tell them that I have some confidence that I can solve the problem of Danchen's weak physique."

Dan Ling is none other than the Dan family’s eighth-grade nine-color alchemist ancestor, who is currently practicing in the small Dan Tower.

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell silent.

A few minutes later, the girl finally reacted. Immediately, a cry of surprise filled with deep astonishment resounded throughout the empty hall: "Ah——"
