Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 399 Farewell Huo Xuan, the final harvest
"Oh? Even I can sense it. Your perception ability is really amazing!"

A slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded in the void.

Afterwards, where Lin Yuan's sight fell, ripples like water waves suddenly appeared in the space, and Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi's figures emerged from the ripples. Then, the two of them turned slightly and landed lightly opposite Lin Yuan.

After the two girls appeared, Huo Xuan looked Lin Yuan up and down, her eyes full of surprise.

"Brother Lin, long time no see!" Huo Zhi nodded slightly, and his clear and pleasant voice sounded like a silver bell, echoing in the air.

"Long time no see, Mr. Yaojun!" Huo Xuan also smiled, and said in a friendly tone, "Your alchemy technique of refining three pills at the same time is really eye-opening and refreshing..."

The two of them had already arrived here when the pill thunder first appeared, and witnessed with their own eyes the formation of three colorful thunderclouds...but here, there was only one eighth-grade alchemist, Lin Yuan.

There is no doubt that the young man in his early twenties in front of him had refined three types of eighth-grade elixirs at the same time.

Although Huo Xuan herself is not an alchemist, as a half-saint of the Yan clan, she has met many friends from the Yao clan and has a good knowledge of alchemy. It is precisely because of this that she can better understand... how amazing the skills displayed by Lin Yuan are.

The difficulty of refining two eighth-grade six-color pills and one eighth-grade five-color pill at a time is no less than that of refining an eighth-grade seven-color or even an eighth-grade eight-color pill.

In such a short period of time, this boy has made such amazing progress in the art of alchemy.

From this point of view, Medicine Lord Lin Yuan is extremely valuable to be won over, and fully deserves the attention and preferential treatment given to him by the clan, as well as the "gift" she brought on this trip.

Hearing Huo Xuan's praise, Lin Yuan humbly waved his hand, with a smile as warm as the sun on his face, and said, "Senior, you are too kind. I just have some experience in perception and alchemy."

With Lin Yuan's current strength, it is indeed difficult to detect a hidden semi-saint simply by relying on direct perception with soul power.

However, when he integrated many means such as soul perception, space perception, inversion measurement, and mental warning into one, and constructed a complex and sophisticated perception system, his attainments in perception were almost unmatched among his peers.

As a time traveler who has read the history of war, Lin Yuan's emphasis on intelligence and reconnaissance is far beyond the reach of most people on the Douqi Continent.

As for mental warning, he developed a unique method of perception with the help of Qinglin and the Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil and pupil technique, which enables him to keenly sense the gazes of others.

With this method which is not a secret technique but is better than a secret technique, it is extremely difficult for Lin Yuan to be ambushed or assassinated by others.

Just now, the moment Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi cast their eyes towards him in the void, he noticed something. Although he could not accurately locate their position, he knew that there were uninvited "guests" visiting.

Afterwards, he used soul perception, space perception and inverse calculation to quickly lock onto the identity and location of the visitor.

In the Douqi Continent where strength is respected, high levels of cultivation are often enough to crush everything.

Perhaps only someone like Lin Yuan, who possesses a unique way of thinking, excellent gifts and talents, and who uses the art of clones to gain sufficient time for practice, would invest his time and energy in this unpopular field and achieve certain achievements.

However, for Lin Yuan, the wisdom, intelligence and background from his previous life are precisely his core advantages that distinguish him from others.

Making full use of this unique advantage and combining it with the current situation and today's power system is the key to standing out in the struggle and reaching the top.

Lin Yuan will integrate into the Douqi Continent, but he will not just integrate into the Douqi Continent.

"You two, please follow me and have a chat in the inner hall." Lin Yuan made an inviting gesture and led Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi towards the reception hall.

After everyone arrived in the hall and the hosts and guests took their seats, he signaled Xinlan to make tea for everyone.

"Senior Huo Xuan, we have dealt with each other before, so we can be considered acquaintances, so I won't beat around the bush. May I ask, Senior, has the Yan Clan reached a final conclusion on the deal and cooperation we discussed before?"

The aroma of steaming tea curled up in the air. Lin Yuan looked directly at Huo Xuan and asked the most important question straight away.

Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan did not answer immediately, but gently picked up the teacup at hand and savored the refreshing fragrance in the cup.

"Teacher, my junior sister and I will go down to practice first!" Xin Lan was smart and clever. After exchanging a glance with Lin Yuan, she immediately understood. She then pulled Dan Chen to leave the hall, and closed the door gently.

After the two men left, Huo Xuan finally put down the teacup and looked at Lin Yuan meaningfully.

"Lin Yuan, regarding the cooperation and transaction, the leaders of our clan have already agreed at the elders' meeting, and I am here to finalize this matter. But our clan wants you to swear that the fire-making secret method that you will eventually hand over to our clan is the most complete version of the secret method."

"In addition, if you want to trade the secret technique to someone else or another tribe, the transaction must be made 20 years after my tribe obtains the secret technique."

"And in return, my clan can mobilize Dou Sheng strongmen to help you once."

"Of course, your request cannot be excessive!" At this point, Huo Xuan paused slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "What do you need our help with? The boundaries, little friend Lin Yuan needs to consider and grasp them by yourself..."

As for whether it is excessive or not, the final judgment power naturally lies in the hands of the Yan clan.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded seriously: "Okay, I agree to these two items! After obtaining the secret method, if the nobles want to design some methods to verify the secret method, as long as it is reasonable, I can cooperate in the verification."

Seeing Lin Yuan's decisiveness, Huo Xuan was in a good mood, and her satisfaction was evident in her words: "That's great, then we have a deal!"

"Hmm!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me, I wonder how many stars the Dou Sheng senior who can help me is?"

"Haha, don't worry, my clan won't let you suffer any loss!" Huo Xuan chuckled and said, "There is an agreement among our ancient clans that strong men above four-star Dou Sheng cannot be easily moved. Therefore, the strong man from my clan who will help you once will be a four-star Dou Sheng..."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said seriously: "I see, thank you Yan Clan for your generosity!"

He knew in his heart that there was indeed such an agreement between the ancient clans. The reason why the Pure Lotus Demon Fire had not been subdued until now was largely due to this agreement.

Under this premise, the transaction added by the Yan clan can be considered quite real.

The deal was done, and Lin Yuan felt relieved. He said in a deep voice, "Senior Huo Xuan, I lost a lot of money in refining the elixir this time, so I need to take a good rest today. Tomorrow, I will follow the previous agreement and ask the three presidents to witness and complete this transaction..."

At this point, he tilted his head to look at Huo Zhi and said, "If you two don't mind, why don't you stay here for one night? I'll let my disciples take you around Shengdan City! The scenery here should be a little different from the Yanjie..."

Hearing this, Huo Zhi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but feel moved.

She stayed in the Yan Realm for many years. Although the Yan Realm was large and the Yan Clan was strong, the number of its inhabitants was only tens of millions. In terms of prosperity, it was far less prosperous than the Shengdan City, which was the center of the continent. As a young girl, she was quite curious about Shengdan City.

"It's okay, we can complete the transaction tomorrow." Huo Xuan waved her hand, then turned her head to look at Huo Zhi, her tone quite gentle, "Xiao Zhi, let's stay here today! You can go shopping later, I also want to visit some friends..."

"I understand, aunt!" Huo Zhi said lightly with a hint of joy in his eyes.
-
The next day, Danta.

In a void space, five figures, Lin Yuan, Huo Xuan, Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi, stood in five directions.

In the center of the five people, a circular light array was quietly suspended, with faint spatial ripples flowing on it, spreading out like ripples.

"Lin boy, the time has come, you can put the things in."

After a brief perception, Xuan Kongzi nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Lin Yuan not far away, and nodded, signaling the latter to take action.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly, flipped his hand, and a fiery red scroll quietly appeared in his palm. He gently raised his arm, and under Huo Xuan's ardent gaze, the fiery red scroll slowly flew to the center of the light array.

Upon seeing this, the three giants' eyes instantly became solemn, and they quickly formed several mysterious seals, and the silver force of space gathered in their palms.

"seal up--"

Along with a low shout, three silver beams shot out from the palms of the three giants like lightning and accurately hit the three centers of the light array.

In an instant, the light array burst out with brilliant silver light, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.

Under the illumination of the silver light, the space in the center of the light array began to twist violently. Soon, a space crack as dark as ink appeared, like a gaping mouth of the abyss, mercilessly swallowing the fiery red scroll, and then quietly disappeared without a trace.

"Condensation——"

After the space crack disappeared, the seals in the hands of the three giants suddenly changed, and silver light gathered, and soon turned into a silver jade slip.

Xuan Kongzi waved his hand gently, and the jade slip fell steadily into his palm as if it had been summoned.

"The space jade slip is done!" He nodded slightly, then looked up at Huo Xuan and said in a deep voice: "Huo Xuan, add a soul mark to the jade slip. This way, the three of us won't be able to bypass you to use the jade slip."

"And this jade slip will be the only key to finding that scroll. Only when the three of us and you are present together can it be opened."

Huo Xuan nodded slightly, and with a thought, she engraved the soul mark on the jade slip.

"Master Xuan, please take care of this jade slip!" Lin Yuan bowed to Xuan Kongzi, then turned his head to look at Huo Xuan.

"Senior Huo Xuan, in this way, the insurance measures we agreed upon before... will be implemented. If something happens to me in twenty years, you can come to find the three presidents and retrieve the secret scroll through this jade slip."

"And the key I left inside the scroll to decode the scroll's message will also be unlocked in twenty years."

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly and looked calmly at Huo Xuan opposite him: "My transaction conditions are completed. Next, it's the senior's turn..."

"You are really meticulous in setting up so many insurance measures!" Huo Xuan gently rubbed her brows and said helplessly: "My Yan Clan still has to be respectable. We will not break the contract or do anything tricky on such a matter."

This guy is obviously just a teenager, but he has made extremely careful preparations, eliminating the possibility of obtaining the secret method of fire making through "illegal" means.

"Haha, please forgive me, senior!" Lin Yuan shrugged, his voice full of emotion, "My life is not so happy that I can simply believe in verbal guarantees. Rather than testing human nature, I prefer to eliminate risks in advance..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan looked at Lin Yuan deeply, then waved her sleeves and five items flew out of the ring.

Feeling the familiar fluctuations, Lin Yuan's face lit up with joy. He looked up and saw five three-foot-tall jade platforms in the shape of lotus pedestals.

Its appearance is quite similar to Lin Yuan’s Green Lotus Seat.

And on the jade platform, five kinds of flames were burning quietly: light black, dark gold, fiery red, sky blue, and dark red.

"As expected of the Yan clan, this strange fire container is so exquisite." Lin Yuan thought to himself.

While he was thinking, Huo Xuan's voice sounded at the side at the right time, introducing her to Lin Yuan in a neither hurried nor slow manner.

"These five flames are the sub-fires of the five kinds of strange fire of my race. They are, in order, the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame Sub-fire, the Nine Netherworlds Golden Ancestor Fire Sub-fire, the Red Lotus Karma Fire Sub-fire, the Fire Cloud Water Flame Sub-fire, and the Volcano Stone Flame Sub-fire. Now... they are all yours."

"The soul mark imprinted in it has also been recovered by our clan. You can refine it and use it without worry."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and waved his hand to put the five fire seeds into the Dark Sea Ring.

Huo Xuan snapped her fingers, and a transparent crystal ball about ten feet in size flew out of the ring and hovered in front of Lin Yuan.

"This is a one-time inheritance crystal of our clan. After the soul mark is stamped on it, you can use it to read most of the information in our clan's secret library. But remember, only you can read it, and the part you have read once will disappear..."

As a commonly used storage device for major forces, the size of the inheritance crystal ball often represents the richness of its content.

The Yan Clan's inheritance crystal ball is so large, how much information and background does it contain? Just imagining it, Lin Yuan's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Taking a deep breath, he reached out and stroked the crystal ball, then put it back into the ring.

Seeing Lin Yuan's surprised expression, Huo Xuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she took out the last four items and handed them to Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, this is what you asked for in your conditions - a fire-related secret technique that is not inferior to the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire."

Lin Yuan took the four scrolls, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in confusion: "Didn't we agree on three copies? Why did you give me four?"

Huo Xuan raised her lips slightly, her eyes met Lin Yuan's, and she said, "Now that the deal is done, you are a friend of my Yan Clan. My clan has always been generous to our friends, and this extra secret technique is a gift from my clan to you, my friend."

Lin Yuan nodded happily and accepted the scroll generously: "In that case, I will respectfully obey your command."

At this point, the transaction between Lin Yuan and the Yan clan was basically completed.
