Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 398 Practice, Grace

"Three elixirs are refined together, and it's done!"

On the stone platform, Lin Yuan stood with his hand on the railing, looking far away at the three thunderclouds in the sky, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Looking at the thunder pouring down from the sky, he just smiled faintly, then raised his hand lightly, and the Dark Sea Ring on his finger suddenly flashed a faint light, and a dark golden figure flashed out in an instant and stood straight in front of Lin Yuan.

"Go, Tiankuiyi!" Lin Yuan smiled at the thundercloud that launched the attack, pointed his finger into the air, and shouted softly.

As the shout rang out, the golden puppet stomped suddenly into the void. The terrifying force caused ripples in the space, causing it to rush forward and slam into the oncoming six-colored thunder.

When the two collided, the seemingly extremely ferocious Dan Lei disappeared in an instant.

"Rumble--"

After some of the Dan Lei was swallowed by the Heavenly Demon Puppet, the three thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be enraged. The clouds rolled violently, and then a strange suction force burst out from the three thunderclouds in the middle.

The three thunderclouds seemed to be pulled together and slowly gathered towards the center.

After a moment, the three clouds completely gathered together and transformed into an extremely large and gorgeous thundercloud, covering the sky above Shengdan City...

At this moment, the energy of this world became extremely violent.

As the terrifying power of thunder spread, the fighting spirit in countless people in Shengdan City became slightly blocked.

“Will the energy of thunderclouds increase significantly as they gather?” Lin Yuan looked at the huge thunderclouds in the sky with interest, but there was no trace of worry in his eyes. “Haha, it’s interesting, but at this level, I can’t break through the Heavenly Puppet Level 1…”

As his voice fell, brilliant thunder exploded from the huge clouds, all directed at the Sky Demon Puppet in the air!

"Dang Dang Dang——"

Under this thunderous bombardment, a crisp sound of metal and iron resounded between heaven and earth, and even the space was torn into pieces of dark cracks...

The Sky Demon Puppet was shining with golden light, and burst out with a devouring force, swallowing and absorbing the thunder in the sky.

Looking at the battle between Tian Kuiyi and Lei Yun in the sky, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He used his soul power to sense carefully while constantly calculating in his heart.

"Looking at the situation, the current Tiangui Yi will definitely have no problem dealing with the seven-color Danlei, and the eight-color Danlei should be able to handle it, but it is definitely not able to deal with the nine-color Danlei. We have to think of a way. Should we refine and strengthen Tiangui Yi again, or practice a few more Tianyao puppets to form a formation?"

Lin Yuan has planned to refine an eighth-grade nine-color elixir. To do this, he must prepare in advance the means to deal with the elixir thunder - his own means to deal with the elixir thunder.

Although with his current "status in the martial arts world", it would be easy for him to find some strong men to help him resist the Dan Lei, but to specially look for others to assist him in dealing with Dan Lei is too restrictive after all.

Besides, before Zi Yan grew up, Lin Yuan didn’t plan to let too many people know...what level he, Lin Yuan, was at.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!
Lin Yuan's strategy after arriving in Zhongzhou was to cover up his true ability with show - to use sufficiently amazing performance to conceal his even more amazing true level.

For him, whether it is the Medicine Clan or the Soul Clan...especially the Soul Clan, there are some potential risks. Because of this, he does not want the outside world to know his background, so that he can keep some trump cards.

After considering many factors, the level of alchemy that Lin Yuan currently intends to demonstrate to the outside world has been temporarily set at the eighth grade, seven colors level.

After all, once the eighth grade and nine colors are revealed to the outside world, some uncontrollable situations will arise.

On the one hand, if the Medicine Clan, with whom he had an appointment for a pill meeting, saw that they had no hope of winning and could not obtain the Qianlan Ice Flame, they might make a move behind his back; on the other hand, if he met the requirements put forward by Hunxuzi too early, he might be taken to the Soul Clan ahead of time.

Such a risk must not be taken lightly!

As for Danta, Lin Yuan only regarded it as a nominal backer and a channel for collecting resources, and did not intend to rely on it too much.

The reason for this is that, essentially, Danta does not have the power to fight against the Soul Palace or the Soul Clan, and within Danta... although it is uncertain about the top level, there is definitely a lack of Soul Palace spies in the middle level.

Therefore, Lin Yuan did not intend to borrow too much power from Danta, and naturally would not release too much information.

For Yu Linyuan, the only people he could fully trust and who could help him were Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin and Medusa.

Although he won the Chu Lei Dian Ceremony and became the number one prodigy, he never forgot the principles he had set… Without an absolute backer, he had to strike a delicate balance between being low-key and outspoken.

The talent that one displays must be sufficient to attract greater investment from all races and forces, and also delay the time when they become wary of oneself.

As my thoughts flowed, thunder and lightning poured down like a rainstorm, which lasted for nearly half an hour.

After half an hour of baptism by Dan Lei, Tian Kuiyi's aura was also increased to the limit - the peak of eight-star Dou Zun.

At this moment, the bright gold color on its body turned into a deep dark gold color.

And in the sky, the energy fluctuations in the clouds gradually faded, and the thick thunderclouds slowly dispersed under the gaze of countless eyes.

As the thunderclouds in the sky dissipated, warm sunlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the world that had been ravaged by the Dan Lei. The warm feeling made many people feel as if they were reborn.

Seeing the pill thunder dissipate, Lin Yuan waved his hand and took the Heavenly Demon Puppet back into the ring.

Afterwards, he waved his sleeves, and the three strange fire powder cauldrons disappeared. Three shocking rainbows shot out in three directions like lightning, trying to escape far away.

But Lin Yuan clenched his hands, and an invisible strong wind instantly bound the three pills. He raised his hand lightly, and the three pills flew into the jade bottle hanging in front of him.

Looking at the three pills filled with spiritual mist in the bottle, Lin Yuan's lips curled up into a satisfied smile.

During this refining process, he used a variety of techniques including soul slicing, concurrent scheduling, gathering fire into a cauldron, soul gathering formation, and soul ascension. The effect was quite gratifying - while maintaining the quality of the pill, the efficiency was increased to nearly three times the original level.

In addition, these nine consecutive days of medicine refining have more significance to Lin Yuan than just this.

Since this time he was using a soul at the peak of the spiritual realm to refine eighth-grade five- and six-color pills, his ability far exceeded the difficulty, so he put into practice the idea he had been deducing for a long time.

The concurrency concept of computers in the previous life was simply integrated into the power system of the Douqi Continent in this life.

In short, he used the three soul slices as the control and dispatching mechanism, and the original soul whose ability "overflowed" to the peak of the spiritual realm as the execution mechanism. He divided the continuous time into many time slices, and then used the three soul slices to circulate at high speed in units of time slices to dispatch the original soul to refine medicine separately.

In this way, as long as the cyclic scheduling of the three soul slices is fast enough, an effect similar to concurrency can be achieved, thus realizing the feat of refining three elixirs at the same time.

However, although this method can greatly improve the efficiency of medicine refining, it also has its limits.

Its biggest limitation is that this kind of concurrent scheduling can only be successfully implemented when the medicine refining capacity is "overflowing".

In other words, this method will only work when refining those elixirs with ease.

For example, if Lin Yuan was refining an eighth-grade nine-color pill this time, the difficulty would require the consumption of all the energy of his soul, and concurrent control would be more than worth the loss, after all, switching the control mechanism itself would also cause loss. In addition, this refining method consumes a lot of soul power and fighting spirit - more than refining three kinds of pills normally.

If Lin Yuan did not have his natal soul pill, he would not be able to do it with ease.

However, despite these limitations, this method is still of great significance to Lin Yuan, allowing him to be incredibly efficient in refining low-level pills.

But what Lin Yuan needs is not just the highest-level elixir.

At the same time, since this method is still rough, there is still a lot of room for optimization in the future.

In addition, there are three soul slices to assist in calculation and control, and to replenish the consumption with the natal soul pill. The effect is similar to that of a like-minded partner refining a pill together. This greatly increases Lin Yuan's success rate when refining a pill alone.

In fact, now that he has broken through the peak of the spiritual realm, Lin Yuan is confident that... if all restrictions are released, he can directly refine the eighth-grade nine-color elixir.

With a slight smile, Lin Yuan sensed the situation outside and basically understood it.

At this moment, a lot of people have gathered outside the mansion, many of whom are leaders of various forces. They intended to enter the mansion to visit Lin Yuan, but were stopped by Tang Zhen.

However, Lin Yuan had no interest in going out and dealing with them, so he tactfully ordered them to leave.

"Dear friends from Shengdan City, please disperse!"

"I have spent a lot of energy on refining medicine this time, and I am not in the mood to receive you distinguished guests at the moment. However, in half a month, I will hold a public medicine refining event in Dan Tower. If you are interested in refining medicine, you may come and watch."

"Master Tang, please come in too! Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and the elixir you entrusted to me has been made..."

The calm but unquestionable voice echoed in the ears of everyone outside the mansion, causing the gathered people to obey and disperse as instructed.

After everyone left, Tang Zhen turned around and flew towards the medicine refining square.

When Tang Zhen arrived at the medicine refining square, Lin Yuan had already confirmed Tang Huoer's condition. Seeing Tang Zhen coming, he let go of Tang Huoer's wrist and threw three jade bottles to Tang Zhen.

"Master Tang, these three pills can solve Miss Huo'er's problem and help her recover from her illness."

Under Tang Zhen's puzzled gaze, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, first pointed at the purple pill, and explained slowly and calmly.

"The purple one is an eighth-grade six-color elixir I specially picked out. It's called the Purple Heart Rejuvenating Pill! After Miss Huo'er takes it, it will not only heal the injuries from this fusion of the strange fire, but it will also repair all the hidden injuries from previous training."

"In addition, this pill has another effect... This pill can increase her affinity for fire."

When Tang Huoer heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a hint of joy flashed across her face - improving the affinity for fire attributes was almost like improving one's talent for cultivation.

On the other side, Lin Yuan’s introduction did not stop and he introduced two other kinds of elixirs.

"The blue one is called Xuanmai Fushi Pill. It is an eighth-grade five-color pill that I refined using a special method. After taking it, it can rebuild and strengthen the meridians, stimulate and enhance a person's cultivation potential, and also improve cultivation talent."

"This blue, eighth-grade, six-color pill is called the Ancient Spirit Soul-Refining Pill. After taking it, this pill will work imperceptibly, warming and tempering the soul."

"In a sense, it also has the effect of improving cultivation talent."

"Considering Miss Huo'er's injuries, these three pills should be taken in order: Purple Heart Soul Restoring Pill, Mysterious Veins Restoring Pill, and Ancient Spirit Soul Extracting Pill."

After a short pause, Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "With Miss Huo'er's excellent talent, after using these special pills, as long as she practices hard, there shouldn't be too many bottlenecks before her cultivation reaches the high-level Dou Zun..."

“With Guigu’s inheritance, the help of Senior Huoyun and Master Tang, she may become a semi-saint or even a true Dousheng in the future.”

The words were simple, but their meaning was shocking.

Upon hearing this, everyone at the scene fell silent, but no one doubted Lin Yuan's statement - with the alchemy skills displayed by Lin Yuan and his status and position, it didn't seem very difficult to create a Dou Zun.

After a long time, Tang Zhen took a deep breath, carefully put the three pills into the ring, and then bowed deeply to Lin Yuan.

"This gift is precious, but since it concerns Huo'er's future, please forgive me for not being pretentious. Little friend Lin, you will be my and Fenyan Valley's benefactor in the future! If you need me in the future, please speak up and I will fully support you."

“Valley Master Tang, you are too kind!” Lin Yuan waved his hand casually and chuckled, “Miss Huo’er and I are friends, and it is natural for us to help each other…”

"In that case," Tang Huo'er's heroic and joyful voice came from the side before she finished speaking: "Lin Yuan, you should just call me Huo'er! It feels a bit awkward to continue calling me Miss Huo'er..."

Lin Yuan tilted his head and looked over, his eyes met the smiling Tang Huo'er's. After a moment's silence, he said, "Well, Huo'er, I'll give you more advice in the future!"

Hearing this, Tang Huoer nodded slightly, and the smile on her face became more charming.

Seeing the harmonious relationship between the two, Tang Zhen raised his hand and gently stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Master Tang, please take Huo'er to the guest room to heal her wounds!" Lin Yuan looked back at Tang Zhen and said in a deep voice, "Her injuries cannot be delayed, so it is better to deal with them as soon as possible to avoid complications later! And I have two guests to receive..."

Tang Zhen nodded, without further ado, and took Tang Huoer towards the guest rooms.

Watching the two people disappear from his sight, Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a meaningful smile flashed in his deep eyes.

If you want to take it, you must first give it.

When enough favors are bestowed, Fenyan Valley will one day willingly offer up the secrets of the Fenyan Ancestor.

Lin Yuan has definitely got the secret of the Fenyan Ancestor!

If there are not enough opportunities to show them kindness, you can also ask Yuan Tianzun to help Fenyan Valley create some crises.

Shaking his head, Lin Yuan retracted his scattered mind and body, turned around and looked at Ye Zhong: "Elder Ye Zhong, you continue to prepare some medicinal materials! In the next few days, I will do a few rounds of alchemy, and prepare a few eighth-grade pills for Xin Lan to improve her talent..."

Lin Yuan was never stingy with rewards for his subordinates who worked wholeheartedly - and for Ye Zhong, the best reward was to enable Xin Lan to achieve greater success.

As Lin Yuan expected, when Ye Zhong heard Lin Yuan's words, an unconcealable look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.

“Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!” He bowed to Lin Yuan several times before calming down his excitement. He said, “My lord, please upload the list of medicinal materials. I will prepare the required medicinal materials immediately…”

Lin Yuan nodded, passed the list of medicinal materials to Ye Chong, and watched him leave.

Then, he slightly turned his gaze to an empty space and chuckled, "Long time no see, Senior Huo Xuan, Miss Huo Zhi... please show up and see us!"
