Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 613 The Secret Techniques of the Medicine Clan, The Final Chapter is About to Begin
The Spirit Ascension Method, created by the Old Medicine Master, is considered the pinnacle of such secret techniques, but it is not the only method for modifying and cultivating spirits on the Dou Qi Continent.

In the ancient times when alchemy was at its peak, such questions were also studied.

Today, the force on the Dou Qi Continent that preserves the most ancient alchemy traditions and is most skilled in ancient alchemy techniques is the Medicine Clan, which has inherited these traditions for tens of thousands of years.

The methods of cultivating and modifying spirits are naturally treasured by the Medicine Clan.

Yao Ziyou was by no means a reckless person, and his bet with Xiao Yan was not a momentary impulse, but a future attempt to seize the Strange Flame... In order to ensure victory, he had investigated Yao Lao's information and learned that the latter had a spirit-modifying technique called "Spirit Ascension Method".

In order to counter Xiao Yan's trump card and successfully seize the Strange Flame, he specially borrowed the clan's secret techniques after returning to the Medicine Clan.

However, the method of spirit modification within the clan is extremely difficult.

Even if he manages to cultivate successfully, the chances of successfully using it are extremely small, less than 20%, because he has already exhausted most of his mind and energy in refining the medicine!

At a time when victory is imperative, risking everything with that secret method is clearly not a wise move.

Fortunately, the Medicine Clan's unique Dou Di bloodline—a bloodline power that grants almost the entire clan the talent for alchemy—has, through years of development and research, endowed the core members of the Medicine Clan with special means for extraordinary times.

Using this method comes at a considerable cost, and the improvement is not particularly significant, but it has an advantage that other secret techniques cannot match—an extremely high success rate.

"To force me to use this move, to be defeated by this move, you should feel my supreme glory... Bloodline Secret Technique, activate!"

Yao Ziyou looked at Xiao Yan with a ferocious expression and said in a cold voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, his hands flashed out a series of hand seals, and a mysterious aura surged within his body.

As the hand seals on his hands changed continuously, a strange crimson light quickly spread from the clan mark between his eyebrows, transforming into a tangible flame that enveloped his entire body, making his originally handsome face appear exceptionally resolute.

At the same time, a strange and mysterious power was unleashed under the burning of the blood flames, adding a touch of vibrant green to the blood flames around him.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao felt a sense of foreboding.

Not far away, Yao Xingji and the others were also shocked when they saw Yao Ziyou in this state, their eyes flashing with horror.

They had already guessed Yao Ziyou's plan!
That's why Yao Xingji and the others were so shocked and horrified at this moment... In an ancient clan like the Yao Clan, the bloodline of the Dou Di is the most fundamental thing. To damage one's own bloodline for the sake of a victory or defeat is simply out of their mind!
Yao Ziyou's resolute attitude was truly difficult for them to understand.

However, the thoughts and gazes of others had no effect on Yao Ziyou... At this moment, he had nothing but victory in his heart.

When the blood flames turned into a mixture of blood and green, Yao Ziyou's hand seals suddenly changed.

Suddenly, the blood flames enveloping his body abruptly stopped, and carrying with them specks of green light extracted from his bloodline, they converged towards the gourd-shaped mark between his brows.

As this convergence and infusion occurred, the gourd-shaped pattern between Yao Ziyou's eyebrows also seemed to be filled in, quickly becoming dazzling.

At the same time, Yao Ziyou's face turned extremely pale in an instant!
"Imperial Blood Sacrifice to the Spirit!" Yao Ziyou shouted sharply, his eyes coldly fixed on Xiao Yan. "Xiao Yan, this is a technique that only those with high-grade bloodlines in my clan are qualified to know and can use. It's a realm that your abandoned teacher, whose bloodline is almost nonexistent, cannot reach..."

The moment he finished speaking, the last hand seal on his hand was finally completed.

A strange ray of light, interwoven with crimson and green, shot out from the mouth of the "filled" medicine gourd mark between Yao Ziyou's eyebrows, flying like a meteor into the Purple Cloud Cauldron in front of him.

At the same time, his aura, which was already at the mid-stage of the Seven-Star Dou Zun realm, rapidly plummeted to the early stage of the Seven-Star Dou Zun realm, and continued to decline...

"He actually dared to use such a forbidden method as the Imperial Blood Sacrifice to the Spirit!"

Not far away, Yao Xingji murmured softly, gazing at the young man who was his equal in fame within the clan. A complex look flashed in his eyes, a mixture of surprise and admiration.

For the core members of the Medicine Clan, the method of 'Emperor's Blood Sacrifice' is only used as a last resort.

Because each use is accompanied by huge risks, and may even affect his future cultivation path... Yao Ziyou is gambling with his future. After this use, not only his cultivation will be damaged, but even his eighth-grade bloodline will be damaged.

This guy actually went to such lengths to win?

The cost was enormous, but the results were also remarkable.

Inside the Purple Extreme Cauldron, the pill that was capable of reaching the eighth grade and six colors began to undergo some strange changes under the nourishment of the power of the Medicine Clan's bloodline.

The energy ripples spread outwards in concentric circles from the Purple Extreme Cauldron, like pebbles thrown into a lake.

Yao Zi stood quietly before the cauldron, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding commotion.

His face was as calm as an ancient well, his eyes fixed on the inside of the cauldron like those of a hawk. In a moment, his sleeves fluttered like crane wings unfolding—with a loud clang, the lid of the Purple Extreme Cauldron was blown off by a strong wind, tracing an arc in the air before falling to the ground.

In an instant, a tremendous energy surge swept out from the cauldron, crashing violently against its inner wall and producing a clanging sound.

A massive pillar of fire, interwoven with black and white, shot into the sky with a "whoosh" to the astonished gazes of the crowd!

A pillar of fire shot into the sky, its blazing flames clearly visible for miles around. The subtle energy fluctuations emanating from it filled many powerful figures with dread.

"Damn it, this fluctuation... this is bad!"

Sitting in his seat, Elder Yao felt the powerful energy fluctuations, and his expression changed drastically.

As soon as the words were spoken, at the end of the towering pillar of fire, the vast clouds and mist rapidly condensed, and within a few breaths, they formed thunderclouds!
Under countless tense gazes, the thunderclouds churned rapidly.

Six colors—cyan, silver, red, gold, purple, and blue—emerged almost instantly, transforming Danlei into a dazzling six-colored spectacle.

High in the sky, thunderclouds churned, captivating the hearts of countless people.

"Six colors!" Upon seeing the six-colored lightning appear in the sky, a thunderous roar erupted from the vast plaza.

The next instant, a sharp scream suddenly rang out from one of the squares.

"It's not over yet! More colors are appearing!"

Everyone focused their attention and, sure enough, they saw that after the sixth color stabilized, a brilliant green light slowly emerged from the churning thunderclouds and then rapidly spread across the thick thunderclouds.

"Seven-colored thunderclouds, it's seven-colored thunderclouds again!"

As the seventh color fully emerged, the previously quiet square erupted into a frenzy once more. Staring intently at the expanding green, Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. He, who had always believed that "my fate is in my own hands," couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.

"Heaven help us, don't exceed... don't exceed..."

However, the secret technique that Yao Ziyou used at a great cost would not be weakened by people's prayers.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the churning of the massive thundercloud gradually ceased, but the green hue within it rapidly expanded, catching up with and surpassing the previously appearing seven-colored thundercloud in just a moment…

Once the thundercloud had completely stabilized, the area of ​​the green portion that finally appeared was more than half the size of the other six colors.

In contrast, only 40% of Xiao Yan's thunderclouds are green.

Anyone with eyes to see knows that the outcome of the bet between the two is already decided!
At that moment, both Xiao Yan on the stone platform and Yao Lao in the seat turned ashen-faced.

"Damn it, we actually got turned around? That's outrageous!"

On the other side, Yao Ziyou also took out a healing pill and swallowed it. After the medicine took effect and his condition stabilized a bit, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"From the mid-stage of the Seven Stars to the mid-stage of the Six Stars, a whole star's worth of cultivation?" Yao Ziyou stood on the stone platform, her heart bleeding. Her gaze swept across the vast sea of ​​people, meeting Xiao Yan's unwilling eyes. A cold smile immediately appeared on her pale face.

Between the two, the air seemed to solidify into tangible gunpowder, waiting for a single spark to ignite it.

Looking at the two people standing facing each other, the crowd also had a hint of amusement in their eyes, and even the clamor in the sky quickly dissipated.

They hadn't forgotten that Yao Ziyou and Xiao Yan... had made a high-stakes bet.

Yao Ziyou suppressed the weakness in his body, and with a proud grin, he wanted to say something sarcastic to appease Yao Wangui, who was observing from the void.

However, at that moment, a muffled thunderclap suddenly exploded in the sky.

Suddenly, without warning, thick, dark clouds appeared, with streaks of silver lightning flashing and dancing within them.

On a stone platform, the girl who had been sitting cross-legged straightened her back and slowly opened her eyes, which had been closed for a long time.

The instant she opened her eyes, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be drawn by something, and as they churned, they quickly became magnificent. In just one minute, the dark thunderclouds transformed into a dazzling seven-colored thundercloud in front of countless astonished gazes.

Seven colors! Seven-colored pill lightning!! Another bolt of seven-colored pill lightning!!!
Moreover, unlike the previous two seven-colored thunderclouds, the seven colors of this seven-colored thundercloud—cyan, silver, red, gold, purple, blue, and green—are distributed extremely evenly, almost completely identical.

The pinnacle of seven colors—without a doubt, this is the ultimate level of an eighth-grade seven-colored pill!
And the person who summoned this thundercloud... countless eyes turned to the person behind Lin Yuan, and landed on the petite figure.

This is a girl, a girl who exudes a delicate and fragile aura, like a little rabbit.

Dan Chen, a disciple of the Medicine Lord, is only eighteen years old!
Noticing countless eyes focused on her, Dan Chen subconsciously lowered her head, appearing gentle and timid.

This sight drew stares from many viewers and contestants.

Such a seemingly weak and vulnerable girl has actually surpassed countless predecessors and become an eighth-grade, seven-colored alchemist.

Upon closer inspection, this young girl's cultivation level appears to be slightly at the Dou Zun level.
As their thoughts raced, a strange feeling welled up in everyone's hearts—a mixture of disbelief, envy, jealousy, and many other emotions.

This woman's talent is terrifying. Could it be that the Pill Tower is about to produce another Medicine Lord Lin Yuan?

Looking at the dazzling seven-colored thunderclouds above Dan Chen and sensing her aura, everyone suddenly realized that although the girl's aura was slightly weaker, both her battle qi and soul power were very stable, indicating that she still had some strength left...

Then, everyone's gaze shifted slightly, looking at the other two "flawed" seven-colored thunderclouds, and then at the owners of the thunderclouds—Xiao Yan and Yao Ziyou, whose faces were deathly pale.

The crowd, who had been so eager to see who would win, suddenly lost much of their interest.

A feeling of utter chaos washed over everyone.

After all, a girl who was seven or eight years younger than them achieved results that surpassed theirs without using any "tricks".

The wins and losses of those ranked lower are naturally not of great concern to anyone!

The crowd's gazes slowly shifted, passing over Xiao Yan and Yao Ziyou before finally settling on Dan Chen, Lin Yuan, Yao Tian, ​​and Yao Ling, especially Lin Yuan—if his disciples were of such a high level, what level must he himself be at?

The anticipation in everyone's eyes intensified as they considered a certain possibility.

As for Xiao Yan and Yao Ziyou, they both looked away from Dan Chen, exchanged a glance, and saw an undisguised sense of defeat in each other's eyes.

How could the two of them have lost to such a frail young girl?
"Eighteen years old, an eighth-grade, seven-color alchemist." On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze shifting between Dan Chen and Lin Yuan, and exclaimed in amazement, "Tsk tsk, this achievement surpasses Lin Yuan's achievement back then, right?"

“I remember, when Lin Yuan refined a pill in public back then… yes, it was when he was nineteen years old.”

"I never expected that his disciple would surpass him!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Leizi chuckled, his voice filled with excitement: "Hehe, Lin Yuan, Dan Chen, Cao Ying... the future of the Pill Tower is promising!"

Turning his gaze away from Yao Lao, Xuan Yi sighed inwardly, then continued with a sigh, "Back then, the three of us witnessed Dan Chen becoming Lin Yuan's disciple. We never imagined that in just a few years, she would have grown to such a level..."

"Speaking of which, after Lin Yuan passed the eighth-rank assessment, we bestowed upon him the title of 'Medicine Lord,' and he has lived up to that title."

"Now that Xiao Danchen has reached such a level, what title should we give her?"

"A title? Ying'er's level is certainly worthy of a title!" Xuan Kongzi thought to himself as he talked with the others: "It seems that it would be a waste of Ying'er's talent for me to teach her. I'll ask Lin Yuan for help later."

In the center of the arena, Dan Chen pursed her lips slightly and, with a thought, secretly used her soul power to ask Lin Yuan for his opinion.

"Master, should I use the Spirit Ascension Technique again to upgrade the grade of the elixir?"

"Ascension to the Spirit Realm? That won't be necessary!" A short while later, Lin Yuan's gentle voice rang in Dan Chen's ears: "Your current achievements are already sufficient. A few more points would only be icing on the cake. Doing so would do more harm than good..."
