Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 660 Strange Ice! Dou Zun Xiao Yan!
Jiang Lin thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any way to replace this method of outputting source liquid.

Because Hun Ke'er and others had never been accustomed to the source energy environment, they were unable to withstand the high concentration of source energy within Jiang Lin's body.

Just like the Ancient Origin Sea in the Ancient Sea Secret Realm, even if a member of the Origin Clan falls in, they are easily poisoned to death. Not to mention native 'Qi people' like Hun Ke'er.

Moreover, Jiang Lin's source liquid is not used for absorption, but for equivalent exchange with the battle qi plane.

The bodies of Hun Ke'er and the others are merely temporary mediums to make the Dou Qi plane realize that this source energy belongs to Hun Ke'er, and then they will try to replace it from Hun Ke'er's body.

In this situation, energy conversion efficiency becomes crucial. The Dou Qi plane isn't stupid; it seems to possess its own judgment mechanism. If the source liquid entered Hun Ke'er's body through an intermediary, then the Dou Qi plane wouldn't exchange so much Dou Qi cultivation for her.
On the contrary, only this kind of negative distance contact—of course, the proper kind of negative distance—can allow the Dou Qi plane to replace Hun Ke'er's Dou Qi cultivation with the highest efficiency.

"Never mind, let's leave it at that." Jiang Lin shook his head. He had thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with any alternative.

Of course, Jiang Lin did think of a way to solve the awkwardness of sucking fingers.

That is, to make others suck on Jiang Lin's toes.
Jiang Lin didn't think it was a big deal; he could accept it. But Hun Ke'er and the others definitely wouldn't accept it!

So, destroy the world.

"Tell me, if someone knew that licking your toes could grant them Origin Qi, wouldn't all those Nine-Star Dou Shengs come running to lick your toes?" Inside the spirit space, Pei Xuan suddenly had a whimsical thought, imagining that if Soul Emperor Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, and others all came to lick Jiang Lin's toes, the scene would be quite something.

Jiang Lin's lips twitched slightly; he felt something was off.
"Alright, alright, that's all, not a single drop left." Since the Origin Qi directly increases cultivation level without requiring cultivation at all, Hun Ke'er and Hu Jia's cultivation levels both improved very quickly.

In less than a day, with Jiang Lin unable to squeeze out a single drop, Hu Jia successfully broke through to the Dou Huang realm, while Hun Ke'er broke through from the original eight-star Dou Zong realm to the nine-star Dou Zong realm.

"Oh dear! Teacher, please don't say such strange things!" Jiang Lin's words were too inappropriate, causing Hu Jia, who had just recovered from the joy of breaking through to the Dou Huang realm, to lose her composure and run away, covering her bright red face.

Inside the cave, only Jiang Lin remained, expressionless as he wiped his wet fingers and occasionally shook his arm in disgust, and Hun Ke'er, whose face was slightly flushed and whose ears were even redder.

"Can't you speak properly?" Hun Ke'er glared at Jiang Lin in annoyance.

"I've already been very reasonable," Jiang Lin shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

He made up his mind that he would never do such a thing again.

Unless the other person possesses something he cannot refuse, Jiang Lin will reluctantly allow the other person to lick his toes.
"I really can't do anything with you." Seeing Jiang Lin's 'I'm a gentleman' face, Hun Ke'er sighed. In order to get rid of Jiang Lin as soon as possible so that she would have time to calm down her rapidly improving cultivation level, she said, "Speak properly, and it's not that I won't give it to you."

"Before Master left, he left behind a batch of high-level magic cores, four eighth-order magic cores and one ninth-order magic core." As she spoke, Hun Ke'er solemnly handed a spatial ring to Jiang Lin.

"The four eighth-tier magic cores have the attributes of earth, lightning, ice, and darkness, respectively, while the ninth-tier magic core is wood," Hun Ke'er explained to Jiang Lin.

Hun Ke'er felt somewhat helpless. In fact, if Jiang Lin had just spoken nicely, he would have given her all of these things. After all, these were prepared for Jiang Lin by the Soul Craftsman.

“They are all extremely rare attributes.” Jiang Lin took the spatial ring from Hun Ke’er’s hand and instantly probed into it with his soul power. He saw five stones covered with sealed runes piled up in the corner of the storage ring.

Including the different fire, different wind, and different metal that Jiang Lin already possesses, a Dou Zun needs eight kinds of spirit cores. Three plus five equals seven, so one is still missing.

“I can’t refine a ninth-tier wood-type magic core.” Jiang Lin shook his head. The Divine Essence Spirit Fire was indeed powerful, but not powerful enough for him, a Dou Zong realm cultivator, to refine a Dou Sheng realm magic core.
"Are there any other eighth-tier magic cores with different attributes?" Jiang Lin knew that he needed to be at the late stage of Dou Zun to refine a ninth-tier magic core.

The reason he was able to forge weapons across realms in the past was largely due to the power of the strange fire he borrowed.

For example, when Xiao Yan was only at the Dou Shi realm, he was able to subdue the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, which could then harm a Dou Zong. In other words, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame's 'realm' was originally that of a Dou Zong, and most of its power was usually stored in its 'Spirit Absorption Space'. Once released, it could threaten a Dou Zong.

At that time, Jiang Lin was able to use the power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to refine a Dou Zong-level Dou weapon like the Strange Flame Profound Heavy Cannon.

However, the only strange fires Jiang Lin can currently access, such as the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, are only at the Dou Zun level. Unless Gu Xun'er steals the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame from the Ancient Clan for Jiang Lin to use, Jiang Lin will indeed have some difficulty dealing with ninth-order demonic cores.

“Forcing it isn’t impossible, but refining a spirit core is a delicate process. Without sufficient reserves, there’s a risk of failure.” Jiang Lin couldn’t take that risk; it was a ninth-tier magic core! A ninth-tier magic core that could only be left behind after a Saint-level magical beast died!
"Well, I can only keep an eye out for you." Hun Ke'er shook her head. Eighth-tier magic cores are essentially eighth-tier magical beasts, and these all possess their own factions, so you can't just take action casually. Therefore, Hun Ke'er could only suggest that her master, Hun Jiang, keep an eye out for them.
"Never mind, let me think of a way." Jiang Lin's eyes flickered slightly, feeling that it was safer to rely on himself in the end.

"By the way, Aunt Ke'er, could you please help me deliver a letter to Venerable Binghe when you have time? I'm very interested in his exotic ice." Jiang Lin tossed a soul jade slip to Hun Ke'er, whose little face showed some surprise.

"Strange Ice??" Hun Ke'er was slightly taken aback, looking at Jiang Lin with some confusion. Then she looked at the soul jade slip in her hand, intending to examine it, but discovered it contained a soul code. If the corresponding unlocking sequence wasn't followed, the soul information inside would self-destruct.
"I just found out myself." Jiang Lin didn't hide anything and explained that he knew about Yi Bing.

It turned out that Venerable Ice River admired Spirit Craftsman's extraordinary understanding of the Calamity Poison Body, so he secretly mentioned the true core technology of his acquired Calamity Poison Body to Spirit Craftsman and invited him to Zhongzhou to study it together. This letter was delivered to Canaan Academy by the people from the Soul Palace, and Jiang Lin only saw it after returning.

"The Acquired Calamity Poison Body that Venerable Ice River gave us can indeed be successfully cultivated, but the risk is extremely high. Venerable Ice River obtained the inheritance from Venerable Poison and also found a kind of exotic ice to assist in the cultivation. Only then did he finally succeed in cultivating the Acquired Calamity Poison Body."

"Even so, Venerable Ice River still had to endure the backlash from his acquired calamity poison body. The reason he was able to live for so long, besides the inheritance of Venerable Poison and the sealing method information left by Yao Tianhuo at the headquarters of the Weapon Refining Guild, was that Venerable Ice River found Yi Bing." Jiang Lin found it interesting that Yi Bing, who had been out of contact for a long time, was able to get news from Venerable Ice River.

At first, Jiang Lin and Venerable Binghe were just pen pals. They never expected to meet in person so soon.

"...relying on the strange ice to delay the poison's backlash." A hint of surprise flashed deep in Hun Ke'er's beautiful eyes: "Yao Tianhuo is trying to use the strange fire to solve the poison's backlash, right? These two are truly talented."

"Yes, they are all talents worth recruiting." Jiang Lin nodded. The Ice River Venerable had successfully entered Jiang Lin's heart, no, he had entered Jiang Lin's eyes, from a mere passerby. "So you're going to go find him? That won't work either. You have an eighth-order ice-type magic core here." Hun Ke'er was initially happy for Jiang Lin, but quickly realized that Jiang Lin didn't lack exotic ice at the moment.

“No, I’ll go to Zhongzhou after I break through to Dou Zun.” Jiang Lin shook his head. Zhongzhou has many treasures, including news of the alien land.

"Then what about now?" Hun Ke'er looked at Jiang Lin.

"I'm planning to go to the Origin Qi Continent."

On the opposite side of the Douqi Continent in the Doupo Star region of the Origin Qi Continent, in that unknown and mysterious sea area, a super continent is slowly taking shape.

"Do you need any help?" Hun Ke'er asked.

"Not for now. I have Dou Sheng henchmen on my side." Jiang Lin calculated the time. By the time he had everything ready and Xiao Yan broke through to Dou Zun, Yuan Liao would have already recovered to the peak of Dou Zun, right?
"Okay, I'll ask Master's opinion first." Hun Ke'er hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to report to Master.

"Okay, then I'll go refine the spirit core first." Jiang Lin nodded, then took his leave.

After Jiang Lin left, Hun Ke'er immediately set off for the Holy Soul Hall and headed to Zhongzhou to deliver a message to the Ice River Valley, while also returning to the Soul Clan to find the Soul Craftsman.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lin returned to the Burning Heaven Refining Tower and began his secluded refining process.

A month later, the earth-elemental spirit core was successfully refined.
“It’s getting harder and harder to refine, but it’s alright.” Inside the Burning Heaven Refining Tower, Jiang Lin frowned as he looked at the freshly forged earth-type spirit core, then swallowed it and began refining it again.

Another month later, the ice-type spirit core was successfully refined.
Four months later, when Jiang Lin successfully refined the ice, earth, lightning, and dark elemental spirit cores, he received a reply from Hun Ke'er.

"The Soul Craftsman went to find the lost Dark Demon Realm? Don't disturb him for the time being." Jiang Lin looked at Hun Ke'er's reply, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He roughly knew what the Soul Craftsman was looking for.
only.
"So the legend of the Black Demon Cauldron is true." The Black Demon Cauldron possesses a dark power. Jiang Lin used to think it was just a legend and a boast, but he never expected it to be true.

"It seems that the Thunder Clan has a kind of strange thunder called Black Demon Thunder, right? Goodness, no wonder the relationship is so complicated." Jiang Lin had been collecting and inquiring about information about various strange spirits, and the Thunder Clan's Black Demon Thunder was not a very secretive thing.

Jiang Lin had previously discovered that the relationship between Soul Crafters and the Thunder Clan seemed to go beyond friendship. Now it appears that the relationship between Soul Crafters and the Thunder Clan may have originated even earlier.

The Soul Craftsmanship tradition is actually passed down from generation to generation by a group of people, until now, a Soul Craftsman named Soul Tianjiang has emerged who has mastered all of these skills.

"Most Soul Crafters inherited connections, which enabled them to break free from the influence of the Soul Clan and establish independent relationships with other imperial clans."

Jiang Lin believed the Soul Clan should know, and perhaps even be happy about, this. Because the Soul Clan could simultaneously undermine the friendship while having the Soul Craftsmen maintain it.
“No wonder Yao Chen was squeezed into a balloon by the Soul Craftsman.” Jiang Lin shook his head and smiled. Suddenly, Jiang Lin looked up at the sky, where an energy storm was brewing in the dark!
"Breakthrough?"

Boom!

The world around Canaan Academy changed color in an instant!
"Is Elder Lingjiang refining a weapon again?" Faced with the sudden change in the color of the sky and earth, everyone in Canaan Academy assumed that Elder Lingjiang was refining a weapon again.

On the contrary, some of the more robust new elders at Canaan Academy, seeing the changes in the sky, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Wow, someone has broken through to the Dou Zun level?"

"Can you find out who it is?"

"We can't find it. Look, the Heaven-Burning Refining Tower is running, the energy environment is chaotic, and we can't find it." Many Lei Clan disciples who were secretly observing couldn't help but shake their heads in the end.

With Canaan Academy developing in this way, the Thunder Clan naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. Furthermore, since Canaan Academy was practically part of the Thunder Clan's influence, the Thunder Clan maintained a relatively good attitude towards it, only sending some field disciples to join Canaan Academy and monitor its movements.

However, at this moment, above Canaan Academy, as the Burning Heaven Refining Tower, the core of the academy, began to operate, the energy within a hundred miles began to become chaotic, and the sky within a thousand miles was disturbed. Originally, others could still determine the location of the expert who broke through to the Dou Zun level through the energy vortex, but now, they could no longer see him.

"Kid! Break through quickly! That kid Jiang Lin is covering for you!"

Except for a very few people who knew that someone had broken through to the Dou Zun level, most people assumed that the spirit craftsman was refining the weapon.
Boom!

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the environment became even more complex!

"He didn't even say anything about breaking through." Inside the Burning Heaven Refining Tower, Jiang Lin watched as he, the core of the tower, was being 'refined' and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

In terms of scale, Jiang Lin, as a super spiritual artifact, naturally created a larger spectacle when fully unleashed under the enhancement of the formation. Xiao Yan's breakthrough to Dou Zun was completely concealed by Jiang Lin.

until
As Jiang Lin, who was idly refining himself, slowly opened his eyes, his gaze met that of a burly, dark-skinned old man who had appeared out of nowhere in the Thunderstorm Refining Room.

Jiang Lin was somewhat helpless:

"Senior, spying is not a good habit."
