Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 618 Succession
Everyone turned their attention to the three leaders of the Pill Tower. After all, the Pill Tower had not appointed a new leader for hundreds of years, and this change would undoubtedly affect the status and power of the three of them.

However, the reaction of the three giants of Danta was beyond everyone's expectations.

The three people who suffered the most damage did not show the slightest displeasure. Instead, they all looked at Lin Yuan with an air of entitlement and expectation.

This is understandable, after all, it was the three of them who personally facilitated Lin Yuan's succession to the position of Tower Master.

This was partly due to Lin Yuan gifting them the marrow of a Battle Saint, Bodhi seeds, and Bodhi pills, but more importantly, it was because the three of them deeply admired Lin Yuan's talent and character.

The three leaders of Danta firmly believed that under Lin Yuan's leadership, Danta would surely flourish in the future and even have the potential to regain its former glory. They themselves, in terms of strength or other factors, were not suitable to lead the Danta that they wanted to revive.

In addition, this move was also intended to further increase Lin Yuan's importance, making people hesitant to attack him.

There is a huge difference in severity between attacking Medicine Lord Lin Yuan and attacking Pill Tower Master Lin Yuan; the latter almost means starting a war with the Pill Tower!
The last time this happened, it led to the chaos in the Little Pill Tower, the most devastating war in the Dou Qi Continent in hundreds of years.

In this way, both sides will have to think twice before making a move against Lin Yuan!
After all, the fact that the Pill Tower has an ancestor with extraordinary strength is not exactly a secret to the top forces of the Dou Qi Continent.

On the other side, the disciples of the Dan Tower, seeing this scene, suddenly realized what was happening.

They then realized that this elusive Medicine Lord, a figure only existing in legends, already held a pivotal position within the tower.

The Canaan Academy students below were also extremely excited.

For example, Mang Tianchi couldn't help but smile up at this moment, unable to hide his inner pride.

No wonder, his own student, the most outstanding graduate of Canaan Academy, is now going to become the commander of one of the top forces in the Dou Qi Continent... From any perspective, this is an extremely prestigious and boastful thing!
The Tower Master of the Pill Tower, who commands numerous alchemists, holds a position far more prestigious than that of an elder of the Thunder Clan.

Beside her, Qinglin tilted her head slightly, smiling as she gazed at Lin Yuan, her bright eyes filled with joy—only such a position was worthy of her young master.

Meanwhile, as the green light flashed in her eyes, the Sky Dome Network Illusion Space, named "Danhui Live Room," was also bustling with activity.

"Not succeeding as a leader of the Pill Tower, but as the Pill Tower Master?"

Medusa's lips curled slightly, and a hint of amusement appeared in her alluring eyes: "Hehe, my man is truly outstanding!"

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor crossed her arms and teased with a smile, "Xi Yue, with your personality and current strength, shouldn't you just snort and say something like, 'The Pill Tower has good taste and is quite sensible'?"

As she spoke, she winked playfully, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Hehe, no need for such insinuations!" Medusa glanced at Little Fairy Doctor and said indifferently, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who becomes arrogant after gaining power? Don't underestimate me."

She now possesses formidable strength, but she understands that she is still far from reaching the true top level.

Moreover, she has not forgotten her "weak" past, nor will she look down on anyone in the world.

Beside her, the purple-clad beauty Zi Yan, who had recently joined the illusion space, was blinking her mysterious purple eyes and looking at Medusa with amazement.

"Sister Xiyue, it's been a while! You've already advanced to a three-star Dou Sheng?" She moved closer to Medusa, tugged at the latter's sleeve, and exclaimed in surprise, "It seems your cultivation is still improving at a rapid pace? Tell me quickly, how did you do it!"

"It's all thanks to Lin Yuan." Medusa smiled gently and said, "He found the Nine-Colored Origin Stone, and there are also some opportunities for our clan in the Nine Netherworlds."

"Speaking of which, Ziyan, you've changed quite a bit too."

Medusa paused, her eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "Your cultivation level hasn't changed much, but the oppressive feeling in your soul..."

Upon hearing Medusa's words, Zi Yan grinned and laughed triumphantly.

She's been waiting for someone to ask her this question.

The dragon-phoenix girl put her hands on her hips and couldn't wait to show off: "Hehe, of course, I've already advanced to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm!"

"This is a soul realm second only to the Emperor Realm, capable of creating a soul clone with the same strength as the original body."

"The Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm is extremely difficult to advance to."

"With the large amount of soul essence given by my brother, the soul essence I obtained from plundering the Soul Palace, and the help of my stinky old man and the others... several factors combined allowed me to barely advance and break through to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm."

Speaking of this, she was still shaken – as a magical beast, the difficulty of her soul breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm was several levels higher than she had expected.

If I hadn't casually killed a Soul Hall Battle Saint at that time and obtained his soul essence, I probably would have been lacking in skill.

A strange light flashed in Qing Lin's eyes, "The Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm?"

Although she is not far from the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, she is still quite far from the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.

However, Qinglin wasn't too envious or looking up to him; instead, he was somewhat eager to try.

She has been pushing forward with Lin Yuan's suggestion to further develop the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil. One of her research projects is the 'Soul Devouring Secret Technique' that uses the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil to devour the soul power of its followers, and she has already made some progress in this area.

If this research is truly successful, breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm will no longer be a difficult task for Qing Lin.

Of course, Dan Chen's help will be needed to complete the subsequent research.

Shaking his head, Qinglin regained his composure and pondered, "Speaking of which, Ziyan, besides you and the Dou Sheng of the Medicine and Flame clans, are there any other powerful figures eyeing this place?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing!" When it came to serious matters, Zi Yan's voice became a bit more serious.

"With my current soul power and spatial perception, plus the special perception techniques taught by my father, even an eight-star Dou Sheng might not be able to hide from my perception... I can confirm that there are no other Dou Shengs spying on this place."

"That's good." Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Young Master asked me to tell you to keep a close eye on Yaoling and Yaowangui. This is the contingency plan I prepared."

"It all explains when to monitor and when to take action..."

As she spoke, Qinglin flicked her finger, and a wisp of soul power flew out from her fingertip, transforming into a transparent white ball of light that floated lightly in front of Ziyan.

Zi Yan grabbed it and a stream of information rushed into her mind.

Qinglin then looked at Little Fairy Doctor, "Little Fairy Doctor, how is Yaoming doing? Has he come out of seclusion? We might need him to deal with the Medicine Clan this time."

"Don't worry, Yao Ming has already emerged from seclusion," Little Fairy Doctor said with a gentle smile.

“Yesterday he dispatched his men to the ‘stage’ location you mentioned! After absorbing the medicinal power of the Thunder Tribulation Pill, he has broken through to the late stage of the three-star Dou Sheng realm. Relying on the demonic beast bloodline and the ‘coiled snake formation,’ his combat power is comparable to that of a four-star Dou Sheng.”

"That's good!" Qinglin nodded and said, "Although I don't know if this arrangement will be useful, it's always good to be prepared..." With Ziyan around, dealing with Yaoyao Wangui and capturing Yaoling will not be difficult.

However, to prevent the Medicine Clan from using this incident to attack the Pill Tower or Lin Yuan, they still need to put in some effort to put on a show.

During this period, it is not advisable to use hidden forces such as the Ancient Dragon Clan.

At this moment, it was just right for Yao Ming on the platform to make his move... As the patriarch of one of the three great magical beast families, his status was enough to give him the authority to intervene in some matters!

After a brief discussion, the group regrouped and focused their attention on the live broadcast of the Pill Gathering.

On that high platform, something else changed.

Suddenly, the space in the square began to distort rapidly, and a spatial passage slowly took shape under the gaze of countless eyes.

As soon as the spatial passage took shape, it emitted a rich and strange medicinal fragrance.

Then, one figure after another appeared in everyone's sight... Each of these six figures possessed a vast and powerful aura, with even the weakest one exuding the aura of the peak of the ninth level, which made everyone feel a sense of fear and trepidation.

After the six appeared, they walked directly to Elder Lin's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, all looking intently at Lin Yuan.

Such a young ninth-grade Grandmaster, the Pill Tower is truly blessed!
On the plaza, there were many knowledgeable masters and powerful figures who quickly recognized the group, and a murmur of discussion arose below.

"Old Monster Wan, Old Monster Xu, Old Monster Qin... all the legendary elders of the Little Pill Tower are actually present. This is truly a rare sight!"

"Isn't this normal? After hundreds of years, when the Pill Tower is re-establishing its leader, it would be abnormal if these three giants and elders of the Lesser Pill Tower were absent!"

"Judging from their expressions, it seems that the Dan Tower has already reached a consensus on the matter of establishing a Tower Master!"

"Isn't this a matter of course? Medicine Lord has become a ninth-grade Grandmaster at such a young age. Who can justify him not becoming the leader of a sect? To be honest, if he were willing to join the Falling Cloud Sect, I would be willing to immediately hand over the position of sect leader to him."

"Heh, Old Monster Cheng, you've got some pretty good ideas..."

"My god, one Dou Sheng and four Half-Saints, there are so many Saint Realm experts, is this the true strength of the Pill Tower?"

"The Pill Tower actually possesses such strength; no wonder it has been able to contend with the Soul Palace for hundreds of years!"

During the conversation, some perceptive experts suddenly noticed that many subtle yet powerful auras had quietly appeared in this world.

The owners of these auras all hold high positions in the alchemy world. Each of them is a renowned alchemy master in Zhongzhou, such as the champion of the alchemy competition a hundred years ago, or Hou Laoguai who once competed with Yao Lao... They are the cultivators of the Little Pill Tower.

At this historic moment of establishing the tower master of Danta, these senior figures who rarely leave the small Danta on ordinary days have all come to witness this grand event.

The gathering of so many powerful figures made this originally hasty ceremony seem unusually solemn.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, then his expression turned solemn, and he bowed to Elder Lin, the three giants, and the other nine people.

This gesture was solemn and composed, conveying a sense of unwavering resolve.

The next moment, Lin Yuan's clear and confident voice, carrying the soul fluctuations of the Heaven Realm, resounded throughout the Holy Pill Plaza.

"I am deeply honored to have the trust of everyone in entrusting me with the position of Tower Master! I am willing to take on this important responsibility and will do my utmost to lead the Pill Tower beyond its former peak and into an even more glorious future."

Upon hearing this, Elder Lin smiled slightly, gestured for Lin Yuan to walk to the center of the ten people, and then faced the crowd in the square, raising the latter's arm high.

"From this day forward, Medicine Lord Lin Yuan shall be the Tower Master of my Pill Tower!"

Amplified by the battle qi, the sound resounded like a great bell throughout Saint Dan Square and echoed melodiously in the sky above Saint Dan City, instantly pushing the atmosphere of the entire city to a climax.

A thunderous cheer erupted, and everyone, whether from the Danta or the other spectators, was filled with excitement.

Many young geniuses, in particular, looked at Lin Yuan with longing... This young man, who was the same age as them, or even younger, had a journey from a border boy to the master of the Pill Tower that was enough to make any young person's blood boil!

However, amidst this uplifting atmosphere, a subtle discord quietly permeated the air.

Inside the Void Stone Pavilion, Yao Wangui sat upright on a stone chair, his gaze piercing through the void as he stared at Lin Yuan on the high platform outside, his killing intent surging wildly within him.

"The Tower Master of the Pill Tower? It seems the Pill Tower has quite high expectations for you, you brat!"

"That's why you deserve to die even more."

The thought that Lin Yuan, the master of the Pill Tower, would also win the Golden Core inheritance of the Medicine Clan made him increasingly unhappy, and his killing intent grew stronger.

Considering the issue of leaks, even ancient lineages would not easily pass on their top-level inheritances.

In ancient clans, high-level inheritances often require one's own strength, bloodline, and merits to obtain... Although Yao Wangui is the Elder of Punishments and holds a very high position in the Yao Clan, the Golden Core alchemy techniques he can obtain are extremely limited.

Now, however, he is about to personally hand over that precious Golden Core inheritance to the leader of the opposing force.

For Yao Wangui, this was nothing short of humiliation!

On the other hand, Huo Yao's eyes were filled with joy—the stronger Lin Yuan's strength, the more excellent his alchemy skills, and the higher his status, the greater the value of his mission this time!

"If only this child were one of our Yan Clan!"

Looking at the spirited young man, Huo Yao's thoughts raced. Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Huo Zhi, who was staring blankly at Lin Yuan. After thinking for a moment, he finally shook his head.

Although it is a mutually beneficial matter, for ancient clans that value bloodlines, the marriage between a woman of high bloodline and an ordinary person is extremely controversial.

Moreover, the Yan Clan's bloodline power is currently strong, far from reaching that level.

Meanwhile, in the Holy Pill Square, Lin Yuan glanced around, looking at the expectant and curious eyes below, a slight smile playing on his lips…

Now is the perfect time to release those results!

　Sorry, my thoughts were a bit scattered and I had some writer's block, so the update is a little late.

　　By the way, thank you for your concern, fellow readers.

　　I went to the hospital for a checkup, and they did find some problems, but with careful care, the issues shouldn't be too serious.
