Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 396: Peak of the Spiritual Realm, Slices, Visitors
three days later.

In the secret room, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the green lotus throne with his eyes slightly closed. The vast soul power rippled around his body, causing the surrounding space to slightly distort.

In front of him, the origin of the soul and the Spirit Dragon Heavenly Ganoderma had disappeared.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's soul power has not only been significantly improved in strength compared to three days ago, but it has also become more agile and spiritual, giving people a vibrant feeling, as if he is more energetic than before.

If Xuan Kongzi saw Lin Yuan at this moment, he would surely be quite surprised - at this moment Lin Yuan's soul realm is no longer in the late spiritual realm, but is firmly standing on the steps of the peak of the spiritual realm.

It is not the peak of the spiritual realm that is blessed by the natal soul pill, but that one's own soul has reached the peak of the spiritual realm.

The top-grade Linglong Tianzhi - a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth that is even rarer than the strange fire, plus the soul essence of tens of thousands of people, the special medicinal power transformed by the natal soul pill, and the tempering of the Qianlan Ice Flame, broke through the last level and leaped from the late spiritual realm to the peak of the spiritual realm.

"Sure enough, breaking down and then building up, supplemented by sufficient resource consumption and extreme tempering, is also an extremely effective way to break through in the spiritual level of cultivation."

Feeling the vast soul power between his eyebrows, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashed in his deep eyes, and he sighed in a low voice.

However, breaking through the peak of the spiritual realm was not the biggest gain of Lin Yuan's retreat this time...

Not far in front of him, three seemingly real and illusory soul shadows stood quietly. Their faces were exactly the same as Lin Yuan's, and their eyes were flashing with smart and wise light.

Lin Yuan raised his head slightly, his eyes focused slightly, and looked at the three soul shadows in front of him.

At the same time, the three soul shadows seemed to have telepathic connection and turned their heads to look over at the same time, and several gazes met in the air.

In an instant, an inexplicable and mysterious fluctuation of the soul reverberated among the four. The divided thoughts were like a gurgling stream, communicating smoothly and unimpeded, without any barriers or obstacles between them.

"Soul slicing finally succeeded!"

After a moment, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face, and he whispered to himself.

There was a hint of excitement in the calm voice.

There is an essential difference between the soul slices separated by the Soul-Splitting Technique and the soul clones separated by the Shadow Clone: ​​the soul clone only separates the soul power; while the Soul-Splitting Technique separates the original soul energy in addition to the soul power.

If we use the strange fire as an analogy: the soul clone is similar to the consumable flame that is normally released and transformed from fighting spirit; and the soul slice is similar to the sub-fire of the strange fire.

Whether or not the original soul energy is divided is the decisive difference between the two.

The original soul energy is related to the foundation of a person. Once it is damaged, the problem will be extremely serious... If it were not for the Linglong Tianzhi in his hand, even Lin Yuan would not dare to make this attempt easily.

However, this attempt finally brought Lin Yuan sufficiently rich rewards.

The differences in principles and operating methods between soul clones and soul slices also lead to significant differences in their abilities and functions.

Soul clones can only exist for a relatively short period of time; whereas soul slices have a higher degree of independence and can restore their soul power on their own, thus lasting a long time without existing, and can do things that are relatively independent and that soul clones cannot do.

What is particularly noteworthy is that the types of mystical arts that can be used by soul slices are undoubtedly much higher than those of simple soul clones.

The residual soul of the Tiandan Saint left on the Tiandan Monument is essentially a special soul slice.

Although the Tiandan Saint has fallen for a thousand years, that remnant soul is not considered to be him, but to a certain extent, it still inherited some of his will and power, so that even after his death, he can still influence the world in some way.

For Lin Yuan, with these soul slices, his efficiency in practice and research will be greatly improved, and Yuan Tianzun will have more room for activities in the future.

For example, at this moment, he entrusted the digestion and research of many matters related to alchemy inheritance to the three soul slices.

"The goal of the retreat has been successfully completed, it's time to go out..."

With a murmur, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and he took the soul slice back into the Dark Sea Ring - the ring that, after being washed and refined, could hold and nourish the soul like the Bone Inflammation Ring.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan slowly stood up and left the secret room.

Walking out of the secret room and into the courtyard, the soft sunlight shone on his body, covering him with a layer of golden glow.

Not far away, Xin Lan noticed the movement and hurried over.

She walked quickly to Lin Yuan, panting slightly, and said, "Teacher, I received some information and need to report it to you."

"Three days ago, someone from Burning Flame Valley came to visit you. They were Valley Master Tang Zhen and Miss Tang Huo'er. Currently, they are in the mansion in Shengdan City. My grandfather is entertaining them there and discussing cooperation with Burning Flame Valley."

After a pause, she added: "According to what my grandfather said, Miss Tang Huoer seemed to be seriously injured. They came here mainly to seek medical treatment."

"Tang Huo'er is injured?" A strange color flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and then he said lightly: "I am going back to Shengdan City, you and Danchen will go back with me. This time I may have to do a round of medicine refining, you two can watch from the side!"

Hearing this, Xin Lan's face suddenly lit up, and her voice was a little excited: "Yes, teacher! I will go and call Junior Sister Danchen..."

After saying that, she quickly turned around and walked quickly towards Danchen's room.

Lin Yuan came to the secret room where Zi Yan was in seclusion. After a brief perception, a look of understanding appeared on his face: "According to the current progress, it will take Zi Yan several days to break through to the six-star Dou Zun. So..."

As his hand seals flew, he once again set up several layers of barriers to further isolate Zi Yan's aura, and left another triggering message.

After finishing, he called Xinlan and Danchen and took them out of Xiaodan Tower.
-
When Lin Yuan stepped into the mansion in Shengdan City, Tang Zhen was discussing cooperation matters with Ye Chong in the hall.

Seeing Lin Yuan coming, the two of them quickly stood up.

"Master, you are back!" Ye Zhong bent his waist slightly and said respectfully.

After fully experiencing the benefits of becoming Lin Yuan's subordinate, he decided to follow Lin Yuan wholeheartedly. He became more respectful to Lin Yuan and even changed the way he addressed him.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, tilted his head to look at Tang Zhen, and chuckled, "Long time no see, Valley Master Tang!"

"Friend Lin, long time no see!" Tang Zhen cupped his hands and said impatiently, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes. "I came to bother you this time because I have something important to ask of you. I hope you can help me..."

"Given our friendship, Master Tang, there is no need to be polite!" Lin Yuan waved his hand to interrupt Tang Zhen's politeness and went straight to the point.

"I heard from Xin Lan on the way back that the Valley Master's purpose of coming here was about Miss Huo'er's injury! Don't worry, Miss Huo'er is one of my few friends. Now that she is seriously injured, how could I stand by and watch?"

"Xinlan, Danchen," he turned around and looked at the two disciples behind him and ordered, "Go and bring Miss Huoer over here. I want to check her condition in detail..." "Yes, teacher!" The two girls quickly responded and hurried towards the guest room.

Lin Yuan walked slowly to the first seat and sat down, then turned to look at Tang Zhen and said in a deep voice: "Master Tang, please sit down and tell us the reason and process of Miss Huo'er's injury!"

There was an unquestionable seriousness in the calm voice.

Hearing this, Tang Zhen nodded, and after sitting down, he explained the whole story: "Huo'er's injury was caused by the forced fusion of the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire. The incident happened after we returned to the Burning Flame Valley from the Thunder Clan..."

At this point, there was a hint of self-blame in his voice - his habit of doting on his daughter too much on weekdays made him make mistakes at some critical moments and agree to his daughter's unreasonable requests.

As Tang Zhen told the story without reservation, Lin Yuan soon learned the whole story.

After watching the martial arts ceremony in the Thunder Realm, especially after witnessing Lin Yuan's several matches, Tang Huoer's desire for strange fire became stronger and stronger, to the point of being a little impatient for quick success.

After returning to Burning Flame Valley, she did not start from the seed fire and proceed step by step, but rashly tried to fuse the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire. The result is naturally self-evident... Taming the twelfth ranked strange fire is not an easy task!

Even though Lin Yuan came to this world and brought many changes, Tang Huoer was still seriously injured due to the fusion of the strange fire.

Moreover, compared with the original trajectory, she fused with the strange fire much earlier this time, so her cultivation was naturally much weaker, and her injuries were naturally much more serious.

If Patriarch Huoyun had not noticed the abnormality and rushed to the scene in time to rescue Tang Huoer, the latter would have died on the spot.

When Tang Zhen finished his introduction, Xin Lanhe also brought Tang Huoer to the hall.

The moment she saw Lin Yuan, Tang Huoer's eyes lit up, and a hint of joy flashed in her pretty eyes.

However, at this moment when her emotions were fluctuating violently, her face suddenly flushed strangely, and then her body trembled slightly and she began to cough involuntarily.

Upon seeing this, Xin Lan quickly stroked her back to help her ease the tension.

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"

After a while, Tang Huoer finally suppressed her injuries, looked at Lin Yuan, a bitter smile appeared on her face, and said with some disappointment.

When they met again, she still wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Yuan, but now...

Looking at the woman who was once so beautiful but now in such a delicate state, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After a moment of hesitation, he stood up and walked to Tang Huoer's side. He stretched out his hand, held her white jade-like palm, closed his eyes slightly, and a ray of soul power flowed into her body through his palm, carefully examining her injuries.

Seeing Lin Yuan acting like this in front of everyone, Tang Huoer's heroic eyes flashed a hint of shyness, but she did not struggle at all.

A few minutes later, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and there was a look of relief on his face. The worried Tang Zhen and Tang Huoer, father and daughter, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Tang Zhen hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Friend Lin, how is Huo'er's injury? Can it be cured?"

"Don't worry, this level of problem is just a small problem for me!" Lin Yuan let go of Tang Huo'er's jade hand and said confidently: "I already have a treatment plan. Maybe it can turn a disaster into a blessing for Miss Huo'er..."

He tilted his head to look at Ye Zhong and said in a deep voice, "Elder Ye Zhong, go and prepare these herbs."

Before he finished speaking, a bit of soul power slowly flowed out from between Lin Yuan's brows, transforming into a continuous stream of information, delivering a list of medicinal materials to Ye Chong.

"These herbs can be prepared in about half an hour... I will prepare them immediately!" After receiving the message, Ye Zhong calculated and counted them in his mind, responded to Lin Yuan's order, and immediately retreated to prepare the herbs.

After spending some time with Lin Yuan, Ye Chong also understood Lin Yuan's personality. Compared with empty formalities, the other party paid more attention to practical matters.

"Thank you so much this time, Lin Xiaoyou!"

Tang Zhen cupped his hands in gratitude and said in a deep voice: "This is a small gift from us, please accept it, don't refuse it!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and a crystal clear transparent crystal ball flew out from the ring and hovered in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was somewhat familiar with the style of this crystal ball - it was quite similar to the inheritance crystal of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire.

"What is this?" Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Tang Zhen in confusion.

“Haha!” Tang Zhen stroked his beard and chuckled, “This is a copy of one of the inheritance crystals of my Burning Flame Valley. However, what is passed down inside is not a technique, fighting skill or secret technique, but a part of the cultivation insights of the founder of Burning Flame Valley!”

"The ancestor said that for a genius like you, the practice and understanding of the strong may be more beneficial than the skills and fighting skills..."

When Lin Yuan heard this, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes and an undisguised look of joy appeared on his face.

"I see, it is actually part of that person's cultivation insights, how great! As Senior Huoyun said, this thing is indeed more useful to me than the exercises and fighting skills. Thank you for your generosity, Valley Master, I won't be polite!"

He was not at all pretentious and reached out to take the inheritance crystal in front of him. However, he did not study it immediately. Instead, he put it into the Dark Sea Ring.

Then, he waved to everyone and said, "Come on, follow me to the Medicine Refining Square!"
-
An hour later, at the Medicine Refining Square.

"Not bad, you two, you haven't been slacking off during this time!"

When Ye Zhong appeared in sight again, Lin Yuan ended the assessment of his disciples in due time... The result was very good, both disciples successfully and even exceeded the training tasks he set.

Ye Zhong landed in front of Lin Yuan, bowed slightly, and handed over a storage ring, "Master, the herbs you mentioned are all ready, here!"

"Thank you!" Lin Yuan took the ring and said gently.

Then, he turned his head to look at Tang Zhen who was standing beside him, and said solemnly: "Master Tang, I am going to refine the elixir. During this time, I would like you to protect me."

Although he has the Heavenly Demon Puppet, human friendships often improve gradually through mutual assistance.

Lin Yuan had some ideas about the forces left behind by the old ancestor Fen Yan, so he was willing to spend some time and energy to establish a more friendly relationship with them.

Having just met Tianyuan Dan Sheng, Lin Yuan was quite curious and respectful of these peak powerhouses.

"Don't worry, my friend. Leave this to me!" Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Tang Zhen's face became serious and he said in a deep voice, "With this old man here, I will never let anyone interfere with your medicine refining..."

When it comes to the safety of his beloved daughter, Tang Zhen will not allow any accidents!
