Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 456: Cultivating Medicine in Secret, the Holy Path of the Little Medical Immortal

There were bursts of thunder in front of the ancient emperor's cave.

Three fire tripods were suspended in the air, and the spreading ice-blue flames released terrifying temperatures that could burn the sky and boil the sea.

This scene lasted for nearly a week.

When the refining process reached the eighth day, Lin Yuan's tightly closed eyes finally opened slowly. He looked towards the three fire tripods in the air and smiled slightly.

At this moment, among the three fire cauldrons, one fire cauldron was filled with dim light, and two fire cauldrons were colorful.

But the common point among the three is that, in the center of each fire cauldron, there is a pill the size of a longan suspended, and around it, there is a constant penetration of black or colorful thunder, accompanied by bursts of rumbling sounds.

In front of the Ancient Emperor's Cave, Lin Yuan's first wave of this round of medicine refining was finally completed at this moment.

"The first wave, seven hundred and ninety-seven, it's done!"

He took a deep breath, then slowly stood up and looked at the three fire tripods with great joy. "My fire control ability can be further improved. Master Jiang's fire control technique is indeed exquisite..."

For Lin Yuan, alchemy is a form of spiritual practice, a practice that combines controlling fire, soul, and tempering fighting spirit.

Lin Yuan had two main goals for this round of alchemy: first, to comprehend the 'Spiritual Heart Controlling Fire Method', 'Secret Book of Source Fire' and 'Taiyi Flame Heart Technique' recommended by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint; second, to accumulate financial resources to prepare for everything after returning to Zhongzhou. "

The first purpose is of course obvious.

No matter when, improving one's fire control ability is to improve combat power and alchemy skills... It has always been Lin Yuan's priority. Naturally, he has to digest the foundation he has obtained this time.

Refining high-level elixirs is the most effective way to practice fire control, and it is perfect for practicing the three fire control techniques.

The second purpose is to make money...which is of course also the current priority.

After returning to Zhongzhou, I will look for ancient clans to trade with. Compared with things like martial arts and fighting skills, high-level elixirs are the real hard currency.

Trading body-building fighting skills with the Stone Clan is the most important matter.

Now, among the three elements of essence, energy and spirit, Lin Yuan's relative weakness at the "method" level is the method of refining "essence", that is, refining the body and fighting skills.

Although Lin Yuan already possessed the body refining skills of the Ancient Dragon Tribe and the Barbarian Tribe, and both were excellent methods of body refining, they were too specific to specific tribes and could not be fully adapted to his body refining system.

He has not yet accepted the Dragon and Phoenix power bestowed by Zi Yan, partly because he is still exploring the way forward.

The power of the Dragon and Phoenix is ​​too strong. If you accept it rashly, your body may be irreversibly transformed. This may lead to incompatibility with certain physical training and fighting skills, limiting your future.

Anyway, he can get the power of dragon and phoenix at any time, so there is no need to worry about this matter.

Later, he would have to make contact with the Stone Clan first, and try to obtain some of that clan's body refining skills, so as to clarify his future in this regard. By then... he would need to pave the way with high-level elixirs.

"Boom boom boom——"

As Lin Yuan's thoughts were flowing, bursts of roars suddenly sounded in the sky above the fire cauldron.

This empty space, which originally had no trace of cloud, now had vast clouds rushing out from the void, gathering into the shape of thunderclouds, and in the violent churning, it transformed into thunderclouds of seven colors, nine colors, and seven colors respectively.

Thunder tribulation seems to be the basic rule of the Douqi Continent. Even if the Dou Emperor opens up space, he cannot prevent it from "stubbornly" appearing.

The colorful thunders, like giant dragons, rolled and shuttled through the clouds, illuminating the originally dark space as bright as day.

Afterwards, three huge thunderclouds approached quickly and soon merged into a huge nine-colored thundercloud.

"Dan Lei, I haven't seen you for a few months. I miss you a little!"

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled slightly and waved his hand. Eleven re-refined Heavenly Demon Puppets flew out from the Nether Sea Ring. With Heavenly Puppet No. 1 as the center, they formed a mysterious formation and blocked the air.

Just as the formation was completed, a nine-colored lightning pillar fell from the sky like a divine punishment and hit Tian Kui hard.

However, this fierce attack did not shake Tian Kui Yi at all.

On the contrary, the full-strength attack that was expected to be comparable to that of a Dou Zun in the Transformation Realm was absorbed by the Heavenly Puppet in just a moment. After being tempered, it was transmitted to the other ten demon puppets through the formation.

The aura of the Heavenly Demon Puppets at the level of Ten, Three-Star Dou Zun, or Four-Star Dou Zun began to increase rapidly.

The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be enraged, and terrifying nine-colored thunders poured down like a rainstorm, pouring their vast energy towards the Sky Demon Puppets.

However, these thunders were transformed into nutrients for the Heavenly Demon Puppets under the transformation of the formation, thus building a stronger foundation for Canaan Academy.

It's a rare opportunity for me to come back, so I'll make some medicine and help the academy improve its strength at the same time!
The sound of thunder lasted for about half an hour before gradually dissipating...

"Tsk, this kid's talent in alchemy is really worthy of praise, don't you think? Brother Jiang?" Zhu Kun leaned on the Pure Lotus Stele, glanced at Lin Yuan who was putting away three pills, took a big gulp of wine, and clicked his tongue.

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint soul fluctuation appeared on the Pure Lotus Monument, and the illusory figure of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint condensed beside him.

"Such talent is indeed worthy of praise!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint nodded slightly and looked at Lin Yuan, not disguising his admiration: "You are so accomplished at such a young age. In all the years I have experienced, even among the Medicine Clan, there is no stronger alchemy genius than Lin!"

"Add to that his path of 'integration of man and elixir', his talent and ability in alchemy, and he may be the best in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun did not say anything, but nodded slightly.

Before being sealed in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, he traveled across the continent for thousands of years, but like the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, he had never heard of anyone with such a strong talent for alchemy.

An eighth-grade nine-color alchemist in his early twenties who can refine several pills at the same time, this kind of talent and ability... is really outrageous.

In the distant square, under the three thirty-three-meter-tall ice-blue fire cauldrons, Lin Yuan had completely recovered to his peak condition after a brief period of recuperation.

In terms of fighting spirit: use all your strength to operate Tianfen Yuandian, and in a few blinks of an eye, the fighting spirit will be restored to full.

In terms of soul: the Demon Soul Sacred Art in the Demon Saint's inheritance, this heavenly-grade soul technique, only the third level is already a low-level heavenly level. After Lin Yuan completed his transformation and cultivation on the magma sea, the speed of soul power recovery has been qualitatively improved.

The Demon Soul Sacred Art is an extremely excellent soul practice with a very high upper limit. After it is thoroughly practiced successfully, one can successfully break through the ninth level and achieve a heavenly level soul.

In fact, this kind of soul practice is the orthodox method of cultivating the soul in the Douqi Continent.

Using the essence of the soul is an evil way!
However, even the high-level soul skills of the Heavenly Rank were of no help in breaking through the Emperor Realm... The cultivation of the peak of the Dou Sheng was still an indispensable condition for general cultivation.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan's eyes were slightly stern, and he was ready to start the second round of medicine refining. During the previous round of medicine refining, he had a lot of insights and thoughts about the 'Secret Book of Source Fire' and the 'Spiritual Heart Fire Control Method', and he needed to further experience and verify them in practice as soon as possible.

"I have mastered the refining of three elixirs simultaneously, and all of them are Thunder Tribulation Pills. It is time to strive for the refining of the 'eighty-ninety-eight' level!"

"Be more cautious this time, and put the matter of comprehending the 'Tai Yi Yan Xin Jue' aside for a while."

"I have limited Bodhi seeds and Bodhi body saliva in my hand. It will take a lot of purification to refine them to the level of refining medicine... Let's put the matter of refining Bodhi Pills at the end of this round of refining medicine!"

With his mind settled, Lin Yuan no longer hesitated and lightly wiped the air with his palm.

Medicinal herbs filled with extremely powerful energy flew out directly from the Dark Sea, and were divided into three groups with two Nine-Colored Sky Thunder Seeds and one Black Demon Thunder Sky Thunder Seed as the center, circling around the three fire tripods respectively.

Then, he waved his sleeves, and thousands of medicinal herbs rushed into the medicine cauldron one after another. In an instant, they were refined by the cold flames inside...

The second round of medicine refining, eighty-ninety-eight, start trying!!
-
In the central region of Zhongzhou, there is an ancient plain of blue ice.

On this boundless snowfield, the wind and snow are still blowing today. The palace complex deep in the icefield is still as majestic and cold as before. Even the protective barrier has been repaired.

However, this palace that once belonged to the Glacier Valley had quietly changed hands a few days ago and had a new look.

In the main hall in the center of the palace complex, Tian Du Nu sat on a throne carved from ice crystals. She had a graceful figure but a cold look in her eyes, revealing a majesty that could not be looked directly at. With her slender hands like jade, she quickly flipped through the purple jade scroll in her hands.

In front of her was an ancient desk with many read manuscripts and scrolls placed on it...

After a long time, she slowly closed the scroll in her hand, and a bone-chilling cold light flashed in her indifferent purple-gray eyes.

"The Soul-stealing Technique, Glacier Valley... It really deserves to be destroyed!"

After several days of investigation, Tian Du Nu discovered that the Evil Poison Body was not the only one coveted and researched by the Glacier Valley.

They are also secretly studying many other special physiques.

However, due to some historical reasons, the Glacier Valley has a deep obsession with the Evil Poison Body. To date, four Evil Poison Body have been killed by the Glacier Valley and become victims of their experiments.

After a long period of bloody research, Glacier Valley has also reaped many results.

One of the biggest achievements is that they have mastered a special technique that allows them to possess special abilities when refining bodies for others (mentioned in the original book when trying to bribe Lord Skyfire).

This technique is an important source of "income" for Glacier Valley.

With a light breath, Tiandu Girl put away the scroll in her hand, picked up a blood-red scroll on the desk, and slowly spread it out.

"The method of transforming disaster into essence!"

Five bloody characters instantly caught her eye. This scroll was the result of several generations of research on the Evil Poison Body by Glacier Valley. It contained the blood and tears of their Evil Poison Body lineage.

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the anger in her heart and began to read the "bloody" scroll carefully.

Regardless, strength is strength.

Xiao Yixian is not a pretentious person, so she understands one thing very well... It is more valuable to fight for the future than to grieve for the past.

She wants to use these "bloody" research results to open up a future for the E'nan lineage.

After an unknown amount of time, she gently put down the scroll in her hand, closed her eyes, leaned back on the ice crystal throne, and fell into deep thought.

"Innately poisonous body... Acquiredly poisonous body... Innately... Acquiredly... Innately... Acquiredly..."

Amidst the soft murmurs, Little Doctor Fairy's tone gradually became firm.

Half an hour later, when she opened her eyes again, her delicate purple-grey eyes were filled with a resolute determination. "The two complement each other perfectly. The combination of innate and acquired is the most suitable path for me to become a saint!"

"However, this method still needs to be checked by Lin Yuan, and he needs to help me optimize it. In terms of understanding the 'method', he is much better than me..."

As he was thinking about it, a hidden but extremely powerful aura suddenly rose from the palace not far away.

Sensing this aura, Xiao Yixian's cold eyebrows quietly melted, and she murmured in a low voice: "Nine-turn Dou Zun peak, Xiao Qinglin, you have finally cultivated to this stage!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the space in front of her began to fluctuate.

Afterwards, she put away the scrolls in her hands and on the desk, slowly stood up from the ice crystal throne, walked into the ripples of space in front of her, and her figure disappeared from the icy hall, leaving only an indifferent voice echoing.

"I can't fall behind. The source of the acquired calamity of the Ice Venerable... It's time to extract it!"
-
There is no time limit for cultivation, and there is no time limit for refining medicine.

In front of the Ancient Emperor's Cave, nearly three months had passed since Zi Yan went into seclusion to accept the Dragon Emperor's inheritance and Lin Yuan gathered fire and condensed the cauldron to start this round of alchemy.

In the sky in front of the cave, thunder would occasionally be heard, and eight or nine colored thunders would appear.

During these three months, Zhu Kun and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint sat and discussed while witnessing Lin Yuan's tremendous progress - although the latter had several failures and wasted a lot of extremely precious materials, he finally completed the leap from 'seventy-nine-seven' to 'ninety-nine'.

Lin Yuan now dares to say that he is the best alchemist below the ninth rank, and he is certain of it in his heart.

Even though Yao Lao had already been promoted to Half-Saint, he was fully confident that he could defeat him.

After all, although Yao Lao has profound cultivation and his soul realm is higher than Lin Yuan, he can hardly be compared with Lin Yuan in terms of his foundation in alchemy, the quality of his flames, the sophistication of his various secret techniques, the level of his fighting skills, and the mystery of his soul skills.

Even when it comes to experience in refining elixirs of grade eight and seven colors or above, no one, including Yao Lao, Dan Tower, and the many masters of the Medicine Clan, can surpass Lin Yuan.

Compared with the Danta, the Yao clan is certainly richer and has more geniuses.

However, the large number of geniuses and high-level alchemists also means that the distribution of high-level medicinal resources and the per capita income are naturally greatly reduced... It is far inferior to the treatment that Lin Yuan receives as the "only" star of hope in Dan Tower.

What's more, in addition to Danta, Lin Yuan also has the full support of Donglong Island!

In terms of the wealth of medicinal materials alone, Lin Yuan is far superior to the old medicine man of Xingyun Pavilion and the many geniuses and masters of the medicine clan.

Only someone as extremely wealthy as him could "squander" high-level medicinal materials in such a way as to rapidly improve his alchemy skills.
