Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 349 Danta Decision, First 'Contact'

"Haha, Lin Yuan, you did a great job this time. Your performance far exceeded my expectations..."

After returning to his seat from the arena, Xuan Kongzi patted Lin Yuan's shoulder with great satisfaction, and praised him with an irrepressible smile on his face.

However, this is also a matter of course.

For Danta, Lin Yuan's victory over Yao Tian of the Medicine Clan by fighting with fire was even more valuable than his winning the martial arts ceremony championship. After all, Danta's most fundamental nature was that it was an organization of alchemists, and alchemy was destined to be more valued than fighting.

The next giant of Danta defeated the number one genius of the Medicine Clan as an alchemist. This alone is enough to greatly enhance the reputation of Danta.

It can be said that Xuankongzi’s goal for this trip has been exceeded.

Although he was somewhat curious, he did not mention the ninth-grade inheritance of the Medicine Clan, nor did he talk about the duel between Lin Yuan and Yao Tian, ​​nor did he ask about the Qianlan Ice Flame - these were Lin Yuan's own affairs and secrets that needed to be respected.

The strong need to be respected, curiosity should not be excessive, and other people's secrets should not be easily pried into. This is the truth that Xuan Kongzi has realized over the long years.

And Lin Yuan, without a doubt, is already a strong man in Xuan Kongzi's eyes... and he needs to be respected!

“Master Xuan, you are too kind!” Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, “After today’s incident, in order to save face, in the Alchemy Conference five years later, there will probably be more than one contestant from the Medicine Clan. We need to prepare early. This Alchemy Conference should be much more exciting…”

"That's perfect, this might be a good opportunity!" Xuan Kongzi waved his hand and said softly.

"Over the years, the Danta has become content and proud of its status as the 'No.1 Pagoda in Zhongzhou'. The internal situation has deteriorated a bit. Not only has the atmosphere become more and more conservative, but the disciples have also become more and more arrogant and less motivated to make progress."

"If this situation continues for a long time, Danta will definitely fall into decline."

Having said that, he turned his head and glanced at Song Qing meaningfully... This kid is the most typical Danta disciple at present.

However, after this "education", there should be some changes.

"If we can introduce competition from the Medicine Clan, perhaps we can wake some people up from their illusions, inject new vitality into Danta, and bring about positive changes! Danta, don't be afraid of competition. Compared to competition, arrogance and ignorance are the fatal problems..."

As for whether the sudden appearance of the Medicine Clan, which currently has more powerful alchemy skills, before everyone would affect Danta's status, Xuan Kongzi had no worries about this.

There is an essential difference between the Yao clan and the Danta.

Danta is a semi-public alliance organization that will, to a certain extent, actively spread and teach its own alchemy techniques.

The Medicine Clan is a large ancient family that only allows its own people to learn its alchemy skills, which limits the development of the Medicine Clan. However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Ancient races always have a special pride in their hearts.

In this case, as long as the clan rules of the Medicine Clan do not change, the only one who can gain the recognition and admiration of most alchemists will be Danta.

What's worse, some alchemists are even hostile to the medicine clan out of jealousy.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan clapped his hands and chuckled, praising: "As expected of Master Xuan, you can see things so far away..."

Xuan Kongzi waved his hand and chuckled, "You kid, there's no need to feed me with any magic potion!"

"Just now, you answered Yao Ying on the stage and said that learning from the strengths of many schools is your path in alchemy. If that's the case, the ninth-grade alchemy inheritance you received should not only be the ninth-grade alchemy inheritance of the Yao family..."

"Master Xuan, what you mean... could it be?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he said in astonishment.

"Haha, as you thought!" Xuan Kongzi nodded slightly with a gentle smile on his face.

"With your talent for cultivation and alchemy, the time when the future of Danta will be in your hands may be earlier than we expected."

"In this case, the inheritance should be brought forward."

"After returning to Dan Tower, I will recommend you to accept the ninth-grade inheritance in the tower, and those seniors should not object. After all, the previous incident, plus today's victory over Yao Tian, ​​your achievements are more than enough."

"In the future, I will prioritize this matter and strive to allow you to receive Danta's inheritance as soon as possible!"

Danta's top genius, the future helmsman, has a ninth-grade inheritance but only has one from the rival Yao Clan... Xuankong Ziguang feels awkward just thinking about this situation. Shaking his head, he straightened his expression and said seriously: "Little Lin, remember, Danta will never treat its own people unfairly..."

When Lin Yuan heard this unexpected surprise, he couldn't help but feel delighted.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the turbulent sea of ​​his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Master Xuan, Lin Yuan will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Seeing this, Cao Ying, Song Qing, Xiao Yan and others on the side couldn't help but feel a little envious.

It might take them many years to get in touch with the ninth-grade alchemy technique, or they might not be able to reach that level in their entire lives. However, Lin Yuan already possessed the ninth-grade inheritance of the Medicine Clan and was about to receive the ninth-grade inheritance of the Dan Tower. He was completely on a different level from them.

However, they did not have the slightest intention of complaining in their hearts - whether in terms of talent, merit or achievement, Lin Yuan fully deserved this treatment.

Compared to the others, Xiao Yan had an extra complex feeling—a mixture of relief and melancholy!

For a long time, due to the appointment with Lin Yuan for the Alchemy Conference, coupled with Lin Yuan's terrifying speed of improvement, the strong presence that overshadowed Guanghui, and some other unclear reasons, Xiao Yan had a vague sense of resentment and a slight "hostility" towards Lin Yuan in his heart.

But it was also this appointment at the Alchemy Conference that made him feel secretly happy in his heart, a young man that he was reluctant to admit... Being recognized as a rival by such a genius was also an indirect confirmation of his own extraordinaryness.

So, when Xiao Yan saw that Lin Yuan and Yao Tian had also made an appointment for the alchemy meeting, he felt a little subtle.

On the one hand, he felt a sense of relief - he was no longer the only one who had an appointment with Lin Yuan to participate in the alchemy meeting, and he was finally not the only one who had to feel the terrible oppression.

On the other hand, he felt a little disappointed - it seemed that he was not that special.

However, when Xiao Yan recalled it carefully, he did not find it strange.

Lin Yuan seemed to like making battles—Gu Yao and Gu Qingyang from the Ancient Clan, Yao Tian from the Medicine Clan, and perhaps some other people, all had different forms of battle agreements with him.

I am just one of his many opponents, and I may even be the weakest one among them.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan collected his confused thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, I thank you on behalf of my teacher for what happened just now!"

Yao Tian's previous words were meant to humiliate Yao Lao, but Lin Yuan later retorted. Although Lin Yuan himself did not care about this matter, Xiao Yan, who had been with Yao Lao for six years and almost regarded Yao Lao as his father, secretly remembered this matter.

Hearing his words, Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then waved his hand in realization, "That matter! Brother Chen, don't worry about it, it's just a coincidence... huh?"

Feeling a strange, inquiring gaze, he suddenly stopped talking and turned his head to look in the direction of the Medicine Clan's seat, and met their gazes.

What I saw was a face as cold as ice and a pair of eyes as bright as stars.

"Yao Tian's sister, Yao Ling, the daughter of the Yao clan...?"

Looking at the pair of eyes that were a mixture of curiosity and dissatisfaction, the woman's information quickly flashed through Lin Yuan's mind. Then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he gave her a wanton look, and then waved to her generously.

Seeing Lin Yuan waving, Yao Ling was stunned at first, and subconsciously wanted to wave in response.

However, after she raised her arm halfway, she suddenly remembered that the other person seemed to be her brother's 'enemy', so she slowly lowered her arm again. But then she thought that this seemed to be against the etiquette and demeanor of the Medicine Clan, so she raised her hand again.

After hesitating for a moment, Yao Ling finally waved back at Lin Yuan, and then, as if to express his position, he glanced at the latter with cold eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan's deep eyes flashed with a smile, and his thoughts turned rapidly.

Regardless of the attitude, being responded to is a qualification that Lin Yuan has earned with his strength - if he had not defeated Yao Tian, ​​Yao Ling would probably ignore him directly at this moment.

This short response also allowed him to obtain a lot of the information he wanted.

"Her eyes are clear but a little silly. She seems to be a young girl who has not experienced much of the world. Well, this martial arts ceremony will last for several days, so there is still plenty of time. Let's see if I can find a chance to communicate with her later..."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "With the appearance of an emperor soul and such a girlish heart, he is a good candidate for the Seven Star Lord."
