Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 401: Melting Fire, Refining Puppet, Xuanling Anti-Origin Pill
The sky was clear and blue, and clouds were dancing in the sky like colorful ribbons. Suddenly, two streams of light streaked across the sky, leaving two bright red trails in the sky.

"Aunt, where is our destination?"

Huo Zhi tilted his head slightly, looking at Huo Xuan who was not far away from him with doubt, and said with a hint of puzzlement, "According to the information from the clan, the precious strange fire should be located in the northern region, but our current direction is clearly pointing to the southern region..."

As the top leaders of the Yan Clan made the decision to collect the strange fire, their vast resource network was instantly activated, and the search for the strange fire was quickly spread out like an invisible giant net.

Under this circumstance, the search for the strange fire has made great progress.

The search for the strange fire has made significant progress thanks to the help of this giant network.

Within a few days, two pieces of news related to the strange fire arrived.

First, the Broken Star Mountains on the edge of the Northern Territory seem to have traces of the Xuanhuang Flame; second, the Tianlei Canyon in the center of the Northern Continent seems to have traces of the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire.

Huo Zhi's most important mission this time when he goes out with Huo Xuan is to go to the Northern Region and the Northern Continent. With his fire spirit body and the special sensitivity of the red lotus karma fire in his body to other strange fires, he cooperates with Huo Xuan to search for the Xuanhuangyan and the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire.

Facing Huo Zhi's doubts, Huo Xuan smiled slightly, her eyes as deep as the night sky, and said softly: "Let's put the trip to the North Territory on hold for now, let's go to the Tianxing Mountains in the South Territory first."

"Tianxing Mountain Range?" Huo Zhi frowned upon hearing this, and became even more confused. "That place doesn't sound like a place where strange fire would be born..."

"Haha!" Huo Xuan smiled gently, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "Although that place is not the birthplace of strange fire, there are people who possess strange fire. Xingyun Pavilion Master Yao Chen, he controls the eleventh-ranked Bone Spirit Cold Fire. In addition..."

After a brief pause, she added, "I also received news that a few days ago, Xingyun Pavilion traded with someone for the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire."

"I see, this trip is to trade for strange fire."

Huo Zhi nodded in sudden realization, and then asked curiously, "Auntie met with Master Tang of Fenyan Valley yesterday to discuss the trade of strange fire, right?"

“Not really!” Huo Xuan shook her head gently, and said calmly: “I am looking for Valley Master Tang not to trade the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire itself, but its son fire. The Burning Flame Valley and my clan have a deep connection, and there are some agreements between my clan and the founder of the Burning Flame Valley…”

However, she had no intention of going into detail and instead changed the subject.

"It would be best if our Xingyue Pavilion could successfully trade for the Strange Fire in Yao Chen's hands; even if that doesn't work, we must promote long-term cooperation in trading the Sub-Fire. Time is running out, so we must speed up and not let the Yao Clan get there first."

Before she finished her words, Huo Xuan had already grabbed Huo Zhi's hand, and layers of space ripples instantly spread around the two of them, and they rushed into the sky as fast as an arrow.
-
Xiaodanta, a secluded valley in the back mountain.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the green lotus seat beside the pool in the valley with his eyes closed. Some light black flames burst out from the pores all over his body, wrapping around and enveloping his entire body. A terrifying high temperature spread from his body.

At this moment, Lin Yuan didn't care about the flames surrounding him, his face was calm without a ripple.

And his mind was completely immersed in the fusion of the strange fire in his body.

Not far in front of him, the Five-sided Green Lotus Jade Platform was quietly suspended in the air, and the strange fire that was swaying on it before had now disappeared without a trace.

Ten days have passed since Lin Yuan began to perfect the secret method and fuse the flames.

During these ten days, Lin Yuan fused the different fire sub-fires one by one according to the ranking of the Different Fire List, from the back to the front. Now, he finally reached the final stage - fusing the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame sub-fire.

As the strange fire continued to merge into it, the Qianlan Ice Flame had already risen to a terrifying level.

In terms of power, the Qianlan Ice Flame that was a fusion of the twelve kinds of fire had surpassed the Three Elements Lotus Heart Fire in the natal soul pill. Combined with the complete Burning Technique, the refining and fusion of the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame was smoother than expected.

Under the fierce burning of the Qianlan Ice Flame, the refining process quickly got on track, the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame gradually softened, and there was a faint trend of fusion.

The mysterious heat waves centered on Lin Yuan, spreading out like ripples, diffusing and echoing throughout the entire valley.

The temperature around Lin Yuan also continued to rise.

Under the scorching heat, the water pool evaporated quickly, and the water vapor rose to form bursts of mist, covering the entire valley, making this place look like a fairyland.

In this silent fusion, two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the Green Lotus Seat, the aura emanating from Lin Yuan's body became hotter and stronger as time passed.

At a certain moment, Lin Yuan exhaled a breath of hot air and slowly opened his tightly closed eyes. A flash of ice-blue flame passed through his eyes. The light black flame on the surface of his body instantly retracted into his body, and was replaced by an ethereal ice-blue flame.

Lin Yuan clenched his fists, feeling the powerful force in his body, and an excited smile gradually appeared on his face: "It's done, the fusion of the fire! And..."

He stretched his body lazily, and as he moved, an aura close to that of a Seven-Star Dou Zun inadvertently emanated from him.

During these ten days, he not only completed the fusion of the strange fire.

With his current soul realm, simply fusing a seed fire would not consume too much of his energy. Therefore, when fusing the seed fire, he also refined some devil flame spots and raised his cultivation to the peak of the six-star Dou Zun.

"There are still five days left before the day arranged by Elder Xuan for me to make medicine in public... There is enough time!"

After settling his mind, Lin Yuan flicked his fingers and a golden puppet flew out, hovering in the air in front of him.

Then, he waved his hand lightly, and numerous exotic metals, magical beast bones, eighth-level magic cores and other materials flew out of the ring and surrounded the golden puppet.

Exhaling lightly, Lin Yuan stretched out his right hand towards the puppet.

"Gather the fire into a cauldron, condense!"

With a low shout, ice-blue flames surged out from Lin Yuan's palm, and then intertwined and gathered in mid-air, transforming into a flame cauldron carved with a mysterious formation, wrapping up Tiankui and many materials.

"Start the formation and refine!" Lin Yuan's hand seals changed, and the formation in the cauldron started to work instantly. The dry blue ice flame swept through the cauldron wantonly, releasing a terrifying temperature that could burn the sky and boil the sea.

The ice-blue flame that looked the same as before, now displayed a completely different power.

Under the refining of the Qianlan Ice Flame, in just a few blinks of an eye, the strange metal that used to take several hours to melt has actually slowly melted.

In just half an hour, all the precious metals turned into metallic juice, flowing gently in the cauldron.

“Very good! Very good!” Seeing this, Lin Yuan showed a satisfied smile on his face, and whispered confidently: “Such power really did not disappoint me! Even if the current Qianlan Ice Flame is not as good as the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, it is definitely not much different…”

After saying this, he closed his eyes lightly, poured all of his vast soul power into the cauldron, and began the work of re-refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

At this moment, the flame in the cauldron seemed to be given life, becoming lively and fierce.

Under the terrifying high temperature of the Qianlan Ice Flame, the fragile parts of the Heavenly Demon Puppet were slowly burned to nothingness, and every trace of impurities was completely removed.

Lin Yuan guided the soul power and melted the top-grade animal bones in the cauldron into jade-colored liquid. He then mixed it with many exotic metals and transformed it into a ball of dark golden liquid. He then slowly injected it into the gap where the Sky Demon Puppet was burned to nothingness!
Time seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment. Lin Yuan was immersed in refining, using soul power and the dry blue ice flame as a knife to accurately carve the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

As Lin Yuan concentrated on carving, three days passed in a flash.

"Disperse!" Following Lin Yuan's shout, the strange fire cauldron made a light "bang" sound and then turned into light spots all over the sky and dissipated. The golden light poured out and then converged in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a dark gold figure walked slowly in front of Lin Yuan through the void.

At this moment, the skin on Tian Kuiyi's body had actually changed from golden to a thick and strange dark gold color, and underneath this dark gold color, bursts of purple light could be seen flowing...

At this moment, not only has its aura been enhanced again, comparable to that of a Nine-Star Dou Zun, but it also seems to have hidden its edge, giving it a more substantial feeling.

"After refining and strengthening, the container is now full, and the upper limit should be able to reach the realm of Dou Zun! Next, we need to 'fill' it up..."

After standing up and exploring the Heavenly Puppet with his soul power, Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan waved his hand and put the Heavenly Puppet into his ring. After glancing at the valley that had turned withered and yellow, he took a leisurely step and walked out of the valley.

"The time for the public alchemy arranged by Master Xuan is not far away, it's time to go out..."
-
Eastern Region, Jiufeng Mountains.

In a vast underground world, stands a nine-headed skeleton as huge as a mountain.

Even though many years have passed and the bones have turned into dry bones, the rich dark red color on the bones remains as if it had been submerged in a sea of ​​blood for countless years and has not faded at all.

At first glance, a terrifying and murderous aura spread out in the surroundings.

In front of this huge skeleton, a girl in green stood proudly.

"Demon pupil, collect!"

With a delicate cry, a green light flashed in Qinglin's pupils, and the huge nine-headed skeleton in front of her disappeared out of thin air.

"Xiao Qinglin, is everything normal?" Xiao Yixian walked slowly to Qinglin's side, with some worry in her eyes: "Is it really okay to put the skeleton of the ancient sky snake in your demon pupil space? The soul of the ancient sky snake is still attached to you..."

Thinking of how difficult it was to deal with that ferocious snake, she couldn't help but frown slightly - the soul of that ancient celestial snake was quite cunning, and it actually wanted to erode and control Qinglin.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiao Yixian!" Qinglin smiled slightly, her eyes full of confidence.

"Although the soul of this ancient sky snake is difficult to tame, I have temporarily suppressed it with the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils. With my current soul realm in the late spiritual realm, it will not be able to cause any trouble for at least half a year..."

"When we return, Master will surely have a way to deal with it."

"As for the skeleton of the ancient sky snake, I will take it back as a gift for the young master. He has always been very interested in this kind of thing."

“Well then!” Seeing Qinglin’s determination, Little Medical Immortal did not object and said, “Let’s go to the Beast Territory first to take a look at the ruins in the Skeleton Mountain Range, then help you capture some followers, and then return to Shengdan City…”

Soon, two streams of light flew out from the Jiufeng Mountains and rushed towards the southern region.
-
Two days later.

In the courtyard of Saint Dan City, two figures were talking.

“Zi Yan, take these three things with you and go to Dragon Island again.” Lin Yuan handed Tian Kui, a scroll and a letter to Zi Yan, and said seriously: “Give these directly to Elder Zhu Li, he will arrange everything!”

"You wait there for half a month, they should be able to prepare what I want, you bring it over."

"Leave it to me!" Seeing that Lin Yuan was a little serious, Zi Yan put away the things and nodded seriously, "I'll leave immediately, and we'll see each other later..."

After saying that, she put several items into the ring, then tore open a crack in space and went straight in.

"With the help of the elders of Donglong Island, both the tempering of the Heavenly Demon Puppet and the collection of Danlei should be completed smoothly."

Looking at the disappearing space crack, Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In the letter to Elder Zhuli, Lin Yuan explained two things: first, to take Tiankui to the Void Thunder Pool for tempering, to improve it to a level that can resist the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder; second, to capture and condense some of the thunder in the Void Thunder Pool.

And that scroll was the secret method that Lin Yuan obtained from Danta, which could refine, condense and store thunder energy.

The secret method combined with the Three Thousand Flames of Dragon Island can refine thunder into sky thunder beads to achieve the effect of storage.

In this way, the main ingredient of the Thunder Tribulation Pill is obtained.

While I was thinking, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Soon, Ye Zhong walked quickly to Lin Yuan, bowed and said, "Master, I have successfully collected the remaining medicinal materials for the Xuanling Fanshi Pill you asked me to make through the channels of the Dan Family and the Cao Family. They are all in this storage ring."

As he spoke, he took out a storage ring from his arms and handed it to Lin Yuan respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work, Elder Ye Zhong. You did a great job!"

Lin Yuan took the ring and after a brief inspection, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "In the next period of time, you should continue to focus on the auxiliary materials of the Thunder Tribulation Pill... By the way, for the sake of safety, you can take this to protect yourself!"

As he spoke, he took out Earth Puppet One and handed it to Ye Chong, who could hardly hide his ecstasy.

It was natural for Ye Chong to be ecstatic...Earth Puppet One, although of little use to Lin Yuan now, its strength was comparable to that of a five-star Dou Zun, and even stronger than the Great Elder Qiu Ling of Danta.

And for Lin Yuan, it would be a bit of a pity if a subordinate who was so useful to him died unexpectedly.

Now that he has this puppet, Ye Chong has few rivals in Shengdan City.

"Thank you for the reward, my lord. I will take my leave now!" Ye Zhong accepted the puppet, performed a great and respectful salute, and then slowly withdrew as instructed.

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, looked at the storage ring in his hand, and thought of the recipe for the Xuanling Fanshi Pill. His eyes narrowed slightly.

Xuanling Fanshi Pill, an eighth-grade seven-color pill, can restore the body's state to the period of greatest plasticity while retaining one's cultivation... This pill is generally used as a prerequisite pill for strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy.

In the Douqi Continent, there are some special elixirs or natural treasures that need to be taken at a special age and in a special physical condition to achieve the best effect.

For example, the Yishi Pill, which can improve talent, is most effective when taken during childhood.

As a master of alchemy, although Lin Yuan had never seen the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, he could infer some things based on pharmacology - this kind of natural treasure that involves the transformation and optimization of bloodlines, the younger the age and the stronger the plasticity, the better the effect will be when used.

In the original trajectory, one of the core factors that enabled Zi Yan to inherit the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was that she was young, had strong plasticity, and could easily absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

But compared to the original trajectory, Zi Yan’s current cultivation level is not only much higher, but her body has also become much more "mature".

Given Lin Yuan's emphasis on the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and his meticulous mind, he would not ignore this point.

The Xuanling Fanshi Pill was the pill he had painstakingly prepared for Zi Yan. It was enough to resolve all hidden dangers and allow her to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit to the maximum extent.
