Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 421 Barbarians, Arrangement

[Day 361: We took a short detour and went to the vicinity of Qingshan Town, and arrived at the valley discovered by Sister Xiao Yixian!
Sister Xiao Yixian tidied up the valley and then set up a barrier...]
[Day 362: Leaving the Jia Ma Empire and heading towards the Beichen Wasteland!
Sister Xiyue took the young master's thunder pill and began to retreat! And the young master seemed to want to use the process of entering the Saint Nine Transformations to do something for refining the life energy pill, so he was not in a hurry to improve his cultivation before the life energy pill was perfected.

That’s fine… After all, with your alchemy skills and soul realm, it would be almost no difficulty for you to complete the Nine Transformations.]
[Day 369: Sister Xiyue came out of retreat, and her cultivation level advanced from the third level Dou Zun to the sixth level Dou Zun!

The eighth-grade nine-color energy was consumed so quickly?

Sister Xiyue’s efficiency in absorbing and refining energy is even more terrifying than Zi Yan and Xiao Cai… It turns out that Sister Xiyue has evolved into an Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

The Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is so terrifying!]
[Chapter 371: As expected, with the soul at the peak of the spiritual realm, combined with the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils and the improved secret method, the first few turns of the Nine Turns were extremely smooth.

In less than a month, he reached the peak of the second level and felt the opportunity for a breakthrough.

It’s time to go into seclusion. This time, I should be able to break through to the third level of Dou Zun! ]
[Day 377: Third level Dou Zun, breakthrough successful, out of retreat!]
[381st Day: Beichen Wasteland, we have arrived!]
"This happy year has passed so quickly! I wonder when the next time will be..."

With a faint sigh, the girl in green lightly moved her fingertips and slowly closed the cover of the exquisite notebook in her hand. Then, with a feeling of reluctance, she closed her slightly dazed eyes, but her slender fingers still lingered lightly on the cover of the notebook.

She was a sensitive girl, so she could sense from subtle details that... this leisurely and laughter-filled journey was about to end.

After an unknown amount of time, Qinglin let out a light breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"It's okay. Helping you realize your dream is also a different kind of joy."

She chuckled, and the confusion and nostalgia in her emerald eyes quietly dissipated, replaced by a bright and lively light of wisdom and tenacity.

After a moment of hesitation, Qinglin flipped the notebook titled "Qing's Journey" with her jade hand and easily put it into the ring.

The habit of indulging in the good old days needs to be curbed a little.

At this moment, a gentle voice, accompanied by a light knock on the door, floated in from outside the door: "Xiao Qinglin, it's time to eat! Today, Lin Yuan specially prepared Dream Cake, Nine Fresh Stew, and Crimson Cherry Smoothie for you..."

Hearing this, Qing Lin's eyes suddenly showed a touch of joy, and he said happily: "Sister Xiao Yixian, I know! I'll be there right away..."

Having said that, she quickly stood up and walked out quickly.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

In the spacious meeting room on the shuttle, Lin Yuan, Medusa, Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin were sitting together, holding the "family meeting" that had almost become a routine, discussing the next action plan.

Of course, most of the time, it was Lin Yuan who proposed the plans and matters, while Xiao Yixian and Medusa were there to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

At a certain moment, Lin Yuan turned his gaze to Qing Lin, and his tone was slightly serious, breaking the silence in the room: "Qing'er, there are two things that I need your help to complete."

Hearing this, Qing Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and his waist straightened a little: "Master, you say!"

"First," Lin Yuan said solemnly, looking serious, "Help me find a place with abundant energy. I want to start a new round of medicine refining."

"The second thing is to deploy the Sky Dome Network and help me investigate the situation of the barbarians here. Beichen Wilderness is the largest gathering place for barbarians in Douqi Continent. I am somewhat interested in the barbarians' 'beast soul fusion' and want to study it..."

His eyes gently swept over Medusa, who was trying various outfits on Xiao Cai.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile - he didn't dare to assert other aspects of this year, but he must have been a good father to Xiao Cai.

At this moment, Qinglin's voice sounded in his ears, bringing him back to his thoughts.

"Don't worry, sir. The investigation will yield results within a week!"

After thinking for a while, Qing Lin gave a precise answer and then added, "Do you need me to capture some strong barbarians? With my strength, it should be enough..."

"Not for now, just proceed cautiously." Lin Yuan waved his hand and explained meaningfully, "There is still plenty of time, let's find out the situation first and then make plans. The barbarians are not that simple..."

At this point, relevant information about the barbarians flashed quickly through his mind.

The Barbarians are a very magical tribe on the Douqi Continent. They were originally a branch of the human race, but in the long process of evolution and development, they formed their own unique system.

According to the president, the barbarians and the snake people... no, they are similar to the Medusa people.

It is said that the living conditions in the Beichen Wilderness are extremely harsh and wild. In order to adapt to the environment here, the human tribes living here will perform a sacrifice to integrate the souls of magical beasts into the bodies of newborns shortly after they are born.

If you survive successfully, you can inherit the power of the beast soul, control some of the power of the monster, and become a true barbarian warrior.

The talents and strengths of the barbarians are also related to the grade and bloodline of the Warcraft souls they have integrated into them.

With the help of beast souls, the strength of the barbarian warriors is often better than that of human cultivators at the same level.

Long ago, during the heyday of the barbarians, there were even some powerful fighting saints who almost swept across half of the southern continent and intended to break into the most prosperous Central Plains.

It was also during this period that they angered the powerful Warcraft families, triggering an earth-shaking war.

After all, every powerful barbarian tribe needs a powerful magic beast. And those powerful magic beast families, such as the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, will never allow others to touch even the essence and blood of their own strongmen, let alone the souls of their own strongmen.

The result of the war was naturally the defeat of the barbarians - how could a branch of the human race defeat so many powerful Warcraft families?
Moreover, most of the powerful human beings who rely on fighting spirit do not agree with the barbarians' practice philosophy.

Naming them the barbarians was actually the act of some powerful human beings at that time, and it also represented the attitude of the mainstream human race towards this special "human race".

However, some powerful human beings finally intervened and prevented the Warcraft coalition from completely wiping out the barbarians.

Today, the Beast-Barbarian War is a distant past, but its impact on the barbarians... is deeply rooted and continues to this day.

That war ended the barbarians' ambition to attack Zhongzhou, forced them to retreat to the Beichen Wilderness, and interrupted the barbarians' path of development - a large number of strong men died in the battle, a large number of accumulated high-level beast souls were taken away, and their inheritance was almost cut off.

The Barbarians today are no longer as glorious as they were in the past, and the strongest known one is only at the Dou Zun level. The reason is that the Barbarians' strength is based on the powerful souls of Warcraft, which is exactly what the Barbarians today are increasingly lacking.

Eighth-rank beast souls are extremely rare among the barbarians today.

But for Lin Yuan, getting a strong enough beast soul was not a problem at all.

Even the top-level beast souls such as the Taixu Ancient Dragon, the Ancient Sky Phoenix, the Ancient Sky Snake, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python... he has a good chance of getting them.

In this case, wouldn’t it be a pity not to study the barbarians’ accumulation in this area?
Moreover, Lin Yuan speculated that the barbarians' 'beast soul fusion' was worth learning from, and could help him perfect the 'human-elixir fusion' system.

So far, the entire 'Human-Dan Integration' system is still in its early stages. How to use this system to practice more efficiently and how to use this system to exert stronger combat power are topics that he urgently needs to study.

To integrate all things into the Dao of Alchemy, and to use the Dao of Alchemy to carry all things... This is Lin Yuan's ambition in his heart.

To fulfill this ambition, more time and more resources are needed... and the barbarian heritage may be the best resource.

There may be some similarities between the two paths of humans and demon beasts, and humans and Dan beasts.

Whether it is the curiosity as a researcher or the existing resources in his hands, it is enough to make Lin Yuan interested in studying the barbarians.

"Oh, right," he seemed to suddenly remember something, a sharp light flashed across his eyes, "Qing'er, find an opportunity to try using the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils on those barbarians who have merged with the snake souls, and see if you can control them and take them as your followers..."

Lin Yuan had been thinking about this idea for a long time...but the only suitable experimental subject before was his wife Medusa, so naturally he could not conduct the experiment.

Now that he has come to the Beichen Wasteland and has better experimental subjects such as the barbarians, he naturally wants to conduct a thorough experiment.

If it is really as he speculated, the usability and functionality of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils will undoubtedly reach a new level.

As a genius in the research field, reverse reasoning and expanded usage are Lin Yuan's forte.

Qing Lin heard this, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. There was a faint light flickering in his green pupils. He chuckled and said, "Sir, this idea is novel, but it is indeed worth a try. It may really have unexpected results!"

As the owner of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils, she naturally understood that once this matter succeeded... she would benefit greatly.

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Medusa beside him.

Feeling his gaze, Medusa raised her head slightly and met his gentle gaze. A gentle smile appeared on his face. Then he took out a jade bottle. The bottle was filled with spiritual mist and a milky white pill was spinning gently in the center.

“Xiyue, this is the Saint Yuan Supreme Pill!” Lin Yuan said softly, “You are already at the peak of the sixth level. With this pill and the help of the Dou Sheng bone marrow, you will definitely be able to break through to the peak of the ninth level…”

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his hand and handed the pill to Medusa.

Medusa nodded slightly without saying a word of courtesy. She just stretched out her jade-like hand and took the transparent jade bottle that was slightly cool.

The trip back to the snake people gave her a different kind of understanding.

When she examined the history of the Snake People with the strength of a third-level Dou Zun, she couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity - the tragic wishes of several generations of Snake People's queens and the fate of many tribesmen were nothing more than playthings in the eyes of the strong, and could be manipulated at will.

At that moment, Medusa had a glimmer of enlightenment in her heart. She began to understand why her little man was so obsessed with reaching the top.

And if he wants to help the young man in front of him, then what he should do is to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Moreover, Medusa's gaze moved slightly and fell on the elegant face of the Little Medical Fairy.

The two women looked at each other deeply. Little Medical Fairy raised her indifferent eyebrows slightly and showed a confident smile on her face; Medusa narrowed her charming eyes slightly, and her eyes flashed with an eager light - after several years, she was finally going to catch up with this woman in cultivation!
On the side, Lin Yuan did not pay attention to the subtle atmosphere between the two girls, but turned his gaze to Zi Yan.

"Zi Yan, I have finished researching the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit! Here!"

He flipped his palm, took out the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and handed it to Zi Yan: "Later, I will help you set a special soul mark on it, and then build an energy channel. In this way, this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit can only be used by you."

Zi Yan quickly took the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, gently rubbed it with her delicate face, feeling the majestic energy fluctuations in the fruit, and licked her lips involuntarily.

Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, this is the best treasure...

Now that her strength has been raised to the eighth level of Dou Zun, when Zi Yan just obtained the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, she could realize how precious this exotic fruit is.

"You are already at the peak of the eighth level. During this period of time, complete the last level as soon as possible." Lin Yuan smiled slightly, tapped her forehead lightly, and reminded her: "Don't waste the precious energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit on a realm that can be easily broken through!"

"In a few days, I will refine a few more auxiliary pills for you to help you maximize the power of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit..."

Zi Yan nodded heavily, said "I'm going to practice in seclusion", and walked briskly towards her room on the ship.

“Zi Yan, come on!” Looking at her departing figure, Lin Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, “When you advance to Dou Sheng, many things will start… I will be able to take you to see your father, whom you want to see in your heart.”

He had no intention of taking Zi Yan to see her father, Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, until Zi Yan had taken and completely digested the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

As for the reason...Lin Yuan does not have absolute trust in either Donglong Island or Zhu Kun.

After all, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit can allow Zi Yan to achieve the body of a dragon and phoenix, and it is also very likely that the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, who has already reached the peak, can go one step further from his current peak state.

As a strong man, Lin Yuan knew too well that it was a terrifying temptation to make his stagnant strength go one step further!

In view of this, although he has a way to take Zi Yan to see Zhu Kun now, he will never do so - there is a world of difference between Zi Yan's father seeing his daughter with the body of a dragon and phoenix and Zi Yan's father seeing his daughter and the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit.

After all, his understanding of Zhu Kun only came from a few words of description from his previous life. He did not really understand him, nor could he get a full picture of him.

Testing human nature with huge temptations is not what a wise person does, nor is it Lin Yuan’s style!
