Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 463: Golden Elixir Ambition, Retreat to Breakthrough

(A very hasty and unsatisfactory chapter, book lovers please subscribe carefully)

"Haha, it's the Burning Decree!" Lin Yuan smiled and said gently.

"The Demon Saint said that you are very malleable. If you can further improve your origin and spirituality, you will be able to glimpse a higher realm! I have already guessed this and have been prepared... This technique is the key to your further advancement."

"As the spirit of the elixir fire, you possess the essence of both the strange fire and the elixir. You can use both methods of improving spirituality and essence!"

"Using the Burning Technique to devour the strange fire is the way to become the spirit of your strange fire and improve your own spirituality and origin."

"I will use the alchemy technique to help you complete the transformation from the eighth grade to the ninth grade, or even the imperial grade. This is the path for you to become the spirit of your elixir and enhance your spirituality and origin."

"The two paths complement each other. If you walk together to the peak, you may be able to surpass Emperor Yan!"

Emperor Flame is the limit of the path of strange fire, the ultimate fire that is the combination of twenty-two kinds of strange fire; Emperor Pill is the limit of the elixir in the Douqi Continent, or the strongest existence under the Dou Emperor.

If the two meet, they may be able to exert the power of one plus one equal to approximately two.

Thinking of that scene, a hint of expectation flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes: "If you can surpass Emperor Yan, I can surpass Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, far beyond!"

In the final analysis, Fu Xuan's body is the Life Qi Pill, which is only one of his three pills of essence, energy and spirit, not all of him. If his idea is successfully completed, the potential of the Life Blood Pill alone is not inferior to that of the Life Qi Pill!

At the side, Fu Xuan had also finished reading the Burning Decree, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "It can actually help devour and fuse the strange fire, it is really a mysterious skill!"

"Haha, this technique is more interesting than you think!"

Lin Yuan chuckled, then put his hands together, formed a set of mysterious seals, and released the strange fire in his soul pill.

This is a light purple flame, burning quietly in the void, and the power it exudes is even stronger than that of the Three Thousand Flames.

"Four Elements Lotus Heart Fire, release!"

The seal on Lin Yuan's hand changed, and the light purple flame suddenly trembled violently, splitting into four colors of flame: white, blue, green, and red.

Then, he looked down at Fu Xuan and said in a deep voice: "Next, use the Burning Technique to devour them all!"

"The Fallen Heart Flame, the Sea Heart Flame, the Azure Lotus Earth Heart Flame, the Myriad Beasts Spirit Flame... Once you devour and fuse them, plus the Three Thousand Flames you possess, as the origin of the alien fire, you will not be inferior to the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, and may even surpass it."

"With the origin that surpasses the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame, plus the powerful spirituality of the high-level elixir, and the spiritual charm bestowed upon you by heaven and earth, your future will be limitless!"

When Fu Xuan heard this, a hint of joy mixed with anticipation flashed across her orange-gold eyes.

The girl took a deep breath and quickly calmed down her agitated mood. She straightened her face and said calmly, "Master, rest assured. Fu Xuan will never let you down!"

"Go!" Lin Yuan handed four strange fires to Fu Xuan and chuckled.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and with a flick of his finger, the refined and modified Green Lotus Platform flew out from the Dark Sea Ring and fell onto the lava sea below.

"You can also use this. It can stabilize the strange fire and reduce the backlash!"

Before he finished speaking, the Azure Lotus Platform flashed, instantly absorbing a large amount of fire energy from the magma sea. The runes engraved on the lotus petals flickered, and a blue barrier several dozen feet in size opened up. A cool and gentle breath spread out...

This lotus platform, which had accompanied Lin Yuan for a long time but gradually lost its function, was finally able to shine with new brilliance after being designed and transformed by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint!

Fu Xuan carefully took the four strange fires, flashed to the green lotus platform and sat down, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing!

Perhaps it was because during her birth, Lin Yuan used part of the spirituality of the Fallen Heart Flame, the Sea Heart Flame, the Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire, and the Myriad Beasts Spirit Fire. These four flames instinctively became very close to her, quietly floating around her...

Not long after, when Fu Xuan opened her eyes again, a unique aura belonging to the Burning Decree echoed from her body.

Under Lin Yuan's gaze, she grabbed the Ten Thousand Beasts Spiritual Fire and swallowed it in one gulp...

On the other side, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and he connected the soul seal set in Fu Xuan's heart. After a brief investigation, he nodded secretly - the progress was smooth, the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fire did not resist too much, and the origin of the Dan Fire Spirit Girl was rapidly transforming.

The strength of the origin of the strange fire determines how much energy the strange fire can carry.

The devouring and fusion of the strange fire is not a process of energy superposition, but a process of origin fusion and transformation.

The Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire ranked seventh and the Volcanic Stone Flame ranked seventeen, the new type of strange fire produced by the fusion of the two strange fires, are enough to rival the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame at the origin level.

As long as enough time and resources are given, the new type of fused strange fire can grow into a high-level strange fire in terms of energy.

The fusion of the five exotic fires ranked ninth, fourteenth, fifteenth, nineteenth, and twenty-second, no matter how you look at it, will not be inferior to the fusion of the two exotic fires ranked seventh and seventeenth - although it is far from reaching the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, it is almost inevitable that it will surpass the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame.

The Pure Lotus Demonic Fire and the Void Devouring Flame are of the same level. Their powerful origins and spirituality give them the potential to become a Nine-Star Douluo.

The new fire formed by the fusion of the five fires may not be as good as the first three in origin and spirituality, but if there are sufficient resources, it will not be too difficult to get a glimpse of a mid-level Douluo.

On this basis, the powerful spirituality of the elixir and the spiritual charm bestowed by heaven and earth are superimposed...

After this swallowing is completed, Fu Xuan's potential may be able to reach the level of a high-level Dou Sheng. If she continues to improve in the future, as an elixir, she may have the opportunity to reach the level of a ninth-grade golden elixir.

And helping Fu Xuan grow to the Golden Core level is exactly what Lin Yuan has been expecting for her for the past ten years.

Given the current situation in the Douqi Continent, even if one has sufficiently powerful alchemy skills, the materials for the ninth-grade golden elixir are too difficult to come by.

The Nine Profound Golden Thunder of the Seven-Star Fighting Saint level, with the vast energy that was released when gathering spirits, could only refine a ninth-grade profound elixir. If one wanted to directly refine a golden elixir, how much material would be consumed... It is almost unimaginable.

However, in order to close the distance with the top strong men as quickly as possible, the ninth-grade golden elixir is almost a necessity.

Otherwise, whether it is Lin Yuan himself or Zi Yan, the Supreme Dragon Phoenix, it would take countless years for them to break through the barrier of the Nine-Star Douluo and practice normally.

When one’s cultivation advances to the late stage of Dou Sheng, it is truly a one-star-one-step-a-step process.

To this end, Lin Yuan made several preparations at the same time.

First, to explore the secrets of some of the top strong men, such as the old ancestor Fenyan; second, to continue to improve the alchemy skills and search for pill recipes and materials across the continent; third, to take the unconventional route of "raising pills".

Among these three paths, the third method of "nurturing the elixir" is what Lin Yuan believes is the most likely to succeed.

The basis for the realization of "nurturing the elixir" is the characteristics of high-level elixirs - after the elixir turns into real life, it has a "promotion" route and unlimited possibilities. After all, once it becomes a life, it has initiative, can practice, can improve, can transform...

After the elixir has been baptized by seven colors or above of elixir thunder, it will have the ability to transform into an elixir beast and can be promoted to the ninth grade by devouring other elixirs.

As for the ninth level, when the Xuandan Ancestor was first refined, it was just an ordinary, or even low-level Xuandan, but after thousands of years of practice, it has now reached the peak level of Xuandan and is only one step away from the golden elixir.

With the successful record in history and real examples like the Xuandan Patriarch, the "cultivating elixir" route naturally became Lin Yuan's priority.

But the higher the level of the elixir, the more difficult it is to transform and upgrade!

For Lin Yuan, it was naturally impossible for him to first refine a Xuandan and then wait for it to grow and transform over a long period of time.

That speed was not as good as if he and Zi Yan practiced personally. What he wanted was a quick method.

After careful consideration, Lin Yuan decided to take two approaches: on the one hand, he aimed at the ancestor of Danta Xuandan, the pill that would become the golden pill; on the other hand, he used the strange fire as the material to refine the life energy pill and created the spirit of the pill fire for it.

The reason for this is that after Lin Yuan consulted a lot of information, he came to a conclusion - what limits the speed of elixir improvement is the origin and spirituality of the elixir.

After the elixir takes shape, its lifespan becomes ridiculously long, and its origin and spirituality naturally grow extremely slowly.

As for the energy part, it is not a big problem... Dan beasts and Dan spirits are naturally resistant to drugs. Under sufficient resource conditions, they can quickly accumulate energy by taking drugs.

The natal qi pill that Lin Yuan refined with the strange fire is both a pill and a strange fire.

After the Dan Fire Spirit practiced the Burning Technique and successfully devoured other strange fires and replenished its own energy and spirituality, it was able to quickly break through the bottleneck and move to a higher level.

In addition, using secret methods in conjunction with high-level thunder refining is also an excellent way to enhance the essence of the elixir.

The two paths of elixir and fire run parallel to each other. As long as the planning is proper and sufficient resources are invested, the transformation of the natal qi elixir into the golden elixir is just around the corner.

Lin Yuan had not yet performed the Nine Transformations because he wanted to… during the Nine Transformations, when the Dan Fire Spirit was laying the foundation, practice with her in depth, break through together, and use his own fighting spirit to complete the initial and most core training of her, so that the two of them could achieve complete adaptation.

In other words, Lin Yuan had to use the nine-transformation process to completely transform the Dan Fire Spirit into his own shape.

In this way, no matter what level the Danhuo Spirit Girl reaches in the future, Lin Yuan can utilize and exert her power to the maximum extent when using her.

As for the Nine Transformations to become a Saint, it is indeed an insurmountable chasm for ordinary practitioners.

But for Lin Yuan, the Nine Revolutions to Become a Saint was just a shallow depression that could be crossed at any step. He had too many ways to cross it, and he stayed here temporarily just to make full use of it.

After confirming that Fu Xuan was on the right track, Lin Yuan retracted his gaze, moved his body, and flashed to the cave that had been opened on the rock wall.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, his thoughts raced in his mind as he analyzed his own situation.

"In this round of alchemy, regardless of the harvest of pills, the harvest in other aspects is also huge, especially in the more than half a month of entering the 'Danhun Realm'."

"Since I can clearly sense the barrier of the Heaven Realm, I will try to break through it with the Demon Soul Sacred Art! Anyway, the old Dragon Emperor has isolated the soul restriction for me. Even if I succeed in breaking through to the Heaven Realm, Hunxuzi should not be able to find it..."

"It would be a good thing to achieve the Heavenly Realm Soul before returning to Zhongzhou."

"Don't be too rigid in doing things. Although we are going to try to break through with the orthodox method this time, it is better to have more backup plans!"

Having made up his mind, Lin Yuan no longer hesitated. He snapped his fingers and three boxes covered with spells flew out of the ring and hovered in the air in front of him.

Looking at the three soul boxes marked with dragon, phoenix and snake respectively, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The three saints of the barbarians have no other value!"

Muttering a word, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and he used his soul power to isolate the inside and outside of the cave. Then he flicked his fingers, and a wisp of ice-blue flame flew out from his fingertips. As it expanded, it turned into an ice-blue fire cauldron about half a meter in size.

Then he waved his hand, and the spell on the "Dragon" soul box flickered, and a crack slowly appeared.

"Whoosh-"

A bloody soul instantly flashed out from the gap.

As soon as this soul appeared, it ignored everything and rushed out of the cave. However, Lin Yuan was prepared. With a thought, several chains suddenly shot out from the fire cauldron, piercing through the bloody soul and "dragging" it back to the fire cauldron.

The bloody soul struggled frantically, his eyes filled with fear and madness. It was obvious that he had vaguely guessed what was going to happen.

"Haha, Barbarian Dragon, the first semi-saint we defeated... It's time to say goodbye forever!"

Looking at the defeated general, Lin Yuan smiled indifferently, and with a wave of his hand, the ice-blue flame instantly covered the bloody soul. Vicious curses suddenly resounded in the cave.

Lin Yuan pretended not to hear and just continued to increase the temperature of the flame.

"what--"

Soon, a shrill and extremely mournful cry echoed from the fire cauldron, but was firmly sealed by the soul barrier...
-
Two days later, inside the stone wall cave.

The ice-blue fire cauldron dissipated with a "puff" sound, leaving only a three-foot-sized transparent ball of light standing quietly in the air.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Lin Yuan let out a long sigh, slowly opened his eyes, felt the pure and vast power of the soul's origin, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"As expected of a semi-saint soul, the soul essence that can be extracted from it is indeed far superior to the souls of ordinary strong men! The essence extracted from the souls of the three saints of the barbarian tribe is even better than the essence of the 300,000 souls that Qing'er brought back."

However, he did not absorb it directly, but instead packed it in a special jade device and put it into a storage ring.

"Fu Xuan... has started to integrate the second type... it's going very smoothly..." After confirming Fu Xuan's condition, Lin Yuan felt relieved and closed his eyes to practice the soul technique. "I have prepared a backup plan for any emergency. It's time... to retreat and break through to the Heaven Realm!"

As the Demon Soul Sacred Art began to operate, the space around Lin Yuan began to fluctuate violently, as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to appear.

Vast spiritual energy seeped out from the void and transformed into a spiritual energy vortex several feet in size above him.

After a moment, the extremely pure spiritual energy turned into a silver beam of light and poured into Lin Yuan's forehead, causing his soul to tremble violently and a tiny crack to appear.

And his Half-Step Heaven Realm aura also began to rise and fall...
