Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 404 Dealing with the Sky Snake, Leaving

"Follow me!" After Lin Yuan instructed Qing Lin, he waved to everyone and took them to the valley where he refined medicine.

This valley has been carefully set up with multiple formations by him.

Once the formation is activated, it can completely isolate the inside and the outside, preventing others from spying and also having a considerable defensive effect.

As Lin Yuan activated the formation he had arranged, ripples suddenly appeared in the void. In a flash, several layers of transparent light shields appeared, tightly wrapping the entire valley and blocking it, forming a completely enclosed space.

Everything was ready. Lin Yuan turned to look at Qing Lin and said in a steady voice: "Qing'er, release the soul of the Nine-Headed Sky Snake!"

Qinglin nodded, and his hands blossomed like lotus flowers, forming a series of mysterious seals.

In an instant, a hint of blood-red flashed in Qinglin's emerald green eyes, like a sea of ​​blood and corpses. A very low and fierce roar came faintly from her body, and an extremely huge soul power surged out of her body.

The power of souls intertwined and gathered, and soon, a strange eye the size of a head appeared out of thin air in front of Qinglin.

In these pupils filled with emerald green, three small dots quickly enlarged and turned into three enchanting emerald green flowers, spinning rapidly around the pupils.

"Green Snake Three Flower Pupils!"

Seeing the demon pupil appear, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a powerful soul wave brewed between his eyebrows.

At a certain moment, the demon's pupil exploded, and a strange green light surged. The space twisted, and a huge figure hundreds of feet tall emerged from it.

This is a giant snake with nine ferocious heads. Its entire body is dark red, as if blood has been deposited for countless years. At first glance, an indescribable murderous aura permeates the air.

The eighteen ferocious snake pupils were now all blood red, with the almost identical patterns of the green snake's three-flower pupils deeply engraved in them.

The giant snake glanced at Lin Yuan, then its body trembled and pounced towards him like lightning.

"Be bold!"

Seeing this, Qinglin's eyes flashed with anger and he shouted sternly.

At this shout, the Hydra's huge body paused, and a hint of struggle appeared in its blood-red eyes. After a moment, the blood-red slowly faded away.

At the same time, Lin Yuan took a step forward, and the Fallen Heart Flame spread across the prairie.

"Soul Seal!"

The powerful soul power surged out of his body and merged with the Fallen Heart Flame to form a scorching soul seal palm, which landed fiercely on the giant snake's brow.

Souls collide, heart flames sweep across.

An invisible soul wave echoed along with the wailing of the Sky Serpent... The special attack of the Fallen Heart Flame against pure souls was still very effective.

“How is it, have you calmed down?” After a moment, Lin Yuan waved his sleeves, retracted his soul power and Fallen Heart Flame, looked at the giant snake with fear and vigilance in his eyes, and said indifferently: “Next, you should be able to communicate with me properly…”

"You are the only remaining ancient serpent soul in this world. Be sensible! Otherwise, although it is a pity, I can only return you to nothingness here..."

There was a hint of coldness in the calm voice.

Then, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, took a step, and walked leisurely towards Qinglin behind the nine-headed sky snake.

Although the soul of the Nine-headed Sky Snake was still staring at Lin Yuan ferociously, it did not show any attacking behavior. Instead, it took the initiative to retreat a little - although the Nine-headed Sky Snake was ferocious by nature, it was by no means stupid.

After the brief confrontation just now, it has realized that the person in front of it... is definitely not a match for its weakened self.

When facing monsters that follow the law of the jungle, strength is the best way to communicate.

At the side, Lin Yuan and Qing Lin's eyes met. After receiving a lot of information from her through illusion, he glanced at the soul of the Nine-headed Sky Snake, put his hand on Qing Lin, a ray of soul power sank into her body, closed his eyes, and sensed it carefully.

Half a minute later, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at it with interest, and nodded secretly in his heart.

"It's just a remnant soul, but it's still at the level of a six-star Dou Zun. Its true body is quite powerful."

"If Qing'er refines this kind of powerful residual soul directly, it should be able to improve a lot of cultivation. Hmm... probably like the original trajectory, it can be promoted to a six-star Dou Zun!"

"But doing so is tantamount to turning a living soul with unlimited potential into a dead soul with only power left."

"Although Qing'er can quickly improve her cultivation by refining this soul, it is a bit of a waste to use the Nine-Headed Sky Snake Soul so roughly. Anyway, with me here, she has many ways to quickly improve her cultivation, and there is no need to waste the Nine-Headed Sky Snake Soul."

"Forget it, I'll refine some soul elixirs first and find a suitable opportunity to repair its remaining soul!"

The nine-headed sky snake in front of him was just a remnant soul, and its state was similar to that of the former Skyfire Venerable, whose body was dead but soul remained... and over the long years, its soul power had been greatly consumed.

Now, he follows Qinglin because he wants to use the power of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils to restore his own strength.

Lin Yuan speculated that this nine-headed celestial snake was likely a semi-saint at its peak.

At present, Qinglin can control this remnant soul to a certain extent with the help of the Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil, and can borrow its power, but as its power gradually recovers, it will inevitably backfire on its master and reversely control Qinglin.

As one of the top ancient bloodlines in the Warcraft world, the Ancient Sky Serpent has special talents like other races. According to ancient books, its racial talents are related to the soul.

Lin Yuan had some doubts about this before, but now it seems that it is true.

Generally speaking, before the soul realm breaks through the heavenly realm, when it is simply in a soul state, the combat power that can be exerted is extremely limited.

Even an eighth-grade peak alchemist like Yao Lao, in his pure soul state, can only exert Dou Zong-level combat power.

However, the soul is the weak point of most magical beasts, but this ancient sky snake that has been dead for thousands of years, obviously does not have any sense of the heavenly realm, but can exert the strength of a six-star Dou Zun with just a few residual souls.

Lin Yuan was full of curiosity about the secrets…Studying the soul was one of his hobbies.

After a little thought, Lin Yuan had made up his mind. He turned his head and looked at the Little Medical Fairy not far away: "Little Medical Fairy, I need to take some precautions to help me control this guy..."

Before he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

A hint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of the nine-headed sky snake, and the nine ferocious snake heads opened their bloody mouths and pounced straight towards Lin Yuan.

"Get out!"

With a delicate cry, the Little Medical Fairy flashed and stood in front of Lin Yuan, and slammed the nine-headed sky snake that was rushing towards her.

A powerful palm wind flew out from her palm and hit the Nine-headed Sky Snake fiercely. Suddenly, a storm of energy swept out, and the huge Nine-headed Sky Snake was actually directly shaken back hundreds of feet.

The Little Medical Fairy flashed in front of it, raised her white hand, and her powerful fighting spirit turned into countless purple chains, which tightly wrapped around and blocked the Nine-headed Sky Snake.

The nine-headed serpent struggled hard, and its powerful strength broke the chains one by one.

However, every time a chain was broken free, more chains would gather and intertwine, sealing the giant snake more tightly. A second-level Dou Zun against a six-star Dou Zun, brute force against brute force, was absolute suppression.

The nine-headed sky snake was also an unruly and ferocious creature. When it realized that it could not resist the other party, a strong blood light suddenly welled up in its eyes, and a touch of determination flashed across its eyes. An extremely violent energy condensed in its body.

However, Lin Yuan had anticipated this situation... One could even say that it was precisely because he hated this uncontrollable situation that he wanted to deal with the Nine-headed Sky Snake.

"Want to self-destruct? Boring... Qing'er, I leave it to you!"

Lin Yuan sneered, waved at the blue-clothed girl beside him, and said lightly.

After receiving the signal, Qinglin nodded slightly, his hand seal changed, and the three strange flowers in his pupils slowly spun, and a mysterious wave immediately spread out.

When the nine-headed sky snake came into contact with this wave, its huge body suddenly burst into a brilliant green light. The ferocious blood-red color in its eyes quickly faded and turned into a gentle emerald green. The violent energy surging in its body also subsided.

Although Qinglin could not completely control the Nine-headed Sky Snake, he had no problem suppressing it for a short period of time.

Seeing that the giant beast was controlled, Lin Yuan moved and flashed in front of it.

"Haha, Qing'er and I need an ancient celestial snake, but we don't need a strange, unruly, and dangerous ancient celestial snake..."

Lin Yuan chuckled, then stretched out his hands and formed a series of mysterious hand seals smoothly. He set up many soul restrictions in the soul of the Nine-headed Sky Snake, and used the secret technique of the Soul Palace to forcibly cut and seal its soul.

After collecting the cut part of the Nine-Headed Sky Snake's soul, Lin Yuan tilted his head to look at the pretty Qing Lin beside him and said, "Qing'er, it's done, you can put it away!"

"Yes, sir!" Qing Lin nodded quickly, changed his hand seal, and took back the weakened soul of the Nine-headed Sky Snake.

And this time, she clearly felt that the recycling seemed a lot easier than before.

"I have sealed the soul of the Nine-headed Sky Snake, so it will sleep for a while! Don't use its power for now, I will deal with it further later." As if he had guessed Qinglin's doubts, Lin Yuan explained directly.

Thanks to the tremendous progress in alchemy research, Lin Yuan already had several plans in mind that would allow Qing Lin to obtain more power from the ancient sky snake.

If he can succeed, Qinglin's journey in the Fighting Saint stage will be much easier.

To this end, Lin Yuan still needs to make some preliminary preparations and further improve the plan in his mind.

“Oh, right,” Lin Yuan added, as if thinking of something, “Qing’er, try using the Green Snake’s Three Flower Pupils with this secret method to see if you can hypnotize the Nine-Headed Sky Snake and dig out some information from it, such as the ancient sky snake’s ancestral land, nest, etc…”

As he spoke, he handed over a secret method obtained from the medicine refining inheritance to Qinglin using the method of soul communication.

Even among the ancient celestial snakes, the Nine-headed Sky Snake is of extremely noble bloodline. It must be a high-ranking member of the Sky Snake clan, and it is very likely that it has some valuable information.

At worst, the heritage of the ancient sky snake passed down through blood can always be obtained.

After Qing Lin received the secret technique, he carefully comprehended and analyzed it, and gave Lin Yuan a definite answer: "Don't worry, sir. With the blessing of this soul secret technique, I am sure I can obtain the information in the Nine-Headed Sky Snake's brain."

"That's great!" Lin Yuan showed a gentle smile on his face and looked at everyone, "Let's go, now that we have dealt with this, let's leave!"

"Wait, Lin Yuan!" Zi Yan called out to him and said proudly, "I'll also do what you entrusted to me before!"

As she spoke, she took out two items - a storage ring and a purple-gold puppet, and handed them to Lin Yuan.

"With this aura, is Tian Kui Yi's strength already comparable to that of a fourth-level Dou Zun?"

Sensing the aura that was even stronger than that of Little Medical Fairy, Lin Yuan's face lit up with joy, "Very good! Very good! With this strength, it should be enough to resist the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder..."

"Hehe, don't worry about me doing it!" Zi Yan waved her hand and said confidently.

"I asked Old Man Qingshan to test this puppet. Not to mention the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder, it can even withstand the Black Demon Thunder! As for the Sky Thunder Pearl, Old Man Qingshan refined a hundred of them. They are all in the storage ring. Some of them were refined with Black Demon Thunder."

"Old man Qingshan is not good at manipulating strange fire. It took him a long time to refine this, so I came back a little late this time."

"Zi Yan, well done!"

With a slight smile, Lin Yuan transferred the Sky Thunder Pearl to the Dark Sea Ring and said gently: "Let's go, we are reunited after a long time. I will cook for you and let's celebrate. I will cook..."

"Let's have a big meal, yeah!"

Amid Zi Yan's cheerful laughter, everyone returned to the mansion.
-
three days later.

Outside the city of Shengdan, a towering mountain stands tall. At a certain moment, several figures flashed from the city and landed lightly on the top of the mountain.

“Senior Tianhuo, Elder Ye Zhong, please stop here!”

With a slight smile, Lin Yuan looked at the two old men in front of him and said.

“My Lord,” Ye Zhong took a step forward, bowed slightly, and respectfully handed over a few storage rings with both hands, “Thanks to your public alchemy power, the collection of medicinal materials and soul-pregnant dust has been progressing smoothly recently, and many of the harvests have been stored in the storage rings.”

"In addition, regarding the batch of seventh-grade elixirs you asked me to refine, I sought cooperation from some families and finally completed it successfully..."

"Those elixirs are currently in the storage ring."

"Thank you!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly, took a quick look at the ring, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Then he looked at the Skyfire Master beside him.

At this moment, Venerable Skyfire exuded a powerful aura that was not inferior to that of an eight-star Dou Zun. During this period of time, Venerable Skyfire, who had accumulated a lot of experience, had been in seclusion and trying to make a breakthrough. He only broke out of seclusion yesterday and his cultivation reached a new level.

After a brief thought, Lin Yuan said in a steady voice: "Senior Yao, please continue to deduce the method of fire separation and take charge of the Dan Tower. I will trouble you with these two things!"

"Don't worry, my friend. Leave these to me!"

Venerable Skyfire nodded slightly, his expression solemn, "Thanks to the valuable information you provided, I have some new insights and ideas about the Fire Separation Method..."

"Haha, you are worthy of being called Senior Yao, you are indeed extraordinary!" Lin Yuan did not hesitate to praise the innovative talent of Venerable Tianhuo.

"This pill is exactly the one I promised you before, and it's of very good quality! With your talent and ability, once you have consolidated your cultivation to the level of an eight-star Dou Zun, taking this pill will definitely save you several years of hard training and allow you to successfully enter the nine-star realm..."

After saying this, he flipped his wrist slightly, and a crystal clear jade bottle appeared in his palm, with a purple pill filled with spiritual mist suspended in it.

"Thank you for your generosity, my friend. I will not be polite if I obey your command!"

Looking at the elixir in the bottle, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Venerable Tianhuo. After bowing, he took the jade bottle from Lin Yuan Shenzhou... At this moment, he was extremely glad to "invest" in Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and looked at Dan Chen and Xin Lan beside him.
