Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 661 Elder Lei: Who broke through to the Dou Zun level? Jiang Lin: Your son's rival in love.

"Of course I know that peeping is not a good habit, so I always look openly." The dark-skinned old man stared with his large, copper-bell-like eyes at Jiang Lin's entire body, which was constantly moving with the patterns of laws.

Faced with such an honest senior, Jiang Lin was speechless.

The senior's words made so much sense that he couldn't refute them for a moment.
"Good lad! At such a young age, you have already grasped some of the divine power of the Saint rank!" The burly, dark-skinned old man looked Jiang Lin up and down, his copper bell-like eyes filled with shock and awe!

"Sigh," Jiang Lin could only sigh. Fortunately, all the source energy in his body had been dissipated, otherwise it would have easily caused some unnecessary trouble.

"How should I address you, senior?" Jiang Lin had come to terms with reality. The dark-skinned old man in front of him had already created a 'cognitive barrier' for him, meaning that the other party had become so powerful that he was beyond his perception.

"My surname is Lei. You may call me Old Lei." The burly, dark-skinned old man did not seem as imposing as one might have imagined. At least when he spoke to Jiang Lin, he was quite polite and did not display the contempt one might show towards a weak ant.

"Alright, Senior Lei has been watching me for quite some time now?" With the mindset that what is meant to be will be, Jiang Lin composed himself and looked at the dark-skinned old man in front of him. Looking at the man's robust and strong physique, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

It's rumored that people with strong limbs are generally sharp-minded. No, it's more accurate to say they're rather simple-minded.
"I have indeed been observing you for quite some time. Every time you've forged a weapon these past four months, it's caused quite a stir, naturally arousing my curiosity." Old Lei wasn't telling the truth. He had actually been told by others that the spirit craftsman outside was frantically forging weapons, but he hadn't paid much attention until the spirit craftsman started forging him. The commotion was so great that even the Black Demon Thunder Pool began to stir, so he couldn't resist his curiosity and came to see why the Black Demon Thunder Spirit was so fond of that young man.
Lei Lao: That guy is just a poor kid!

Dark Demon Thunder Spirit: I don't!!! You simply don't understand!!!

Mr. Lei:
Then Old Lei came over and took a look. Good heavens! No wonder the Black Demon Lei Ling was so fond of this kid. It turns out that this kid has already achieved the Great Perfection of his spiritual body! And he also possesses three different spirits within him!
"Does Senior Lei have any things like an eighth-order water-type magic core or a wood-type magic core?" Jiang Lin decided to stop pretending and shamelessly asked for them.

"..." The dark-skinned old man who called himself Elder Lei twitched slightly upon hearing this. Good heavens, you really have no manners, do you? An eighth-order magic core, you're just asking me for it by force?

"Eighth-tier magic cores are extremely rare. How can we just give them away like that?" Old Lei shook his head. He still had his brain. How could he just throw an eighth-tier magic core into the water like a stone, just to hear a thud?
"As an elder, shouldn't Senior Lei give a small gift when meeting a junior?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin thought to himself that there was a chance, and he became even more certain that the old man Lei in front of him was sharp-witted and didn't even try to hide his intentions, directly asking for the gift.

"Hey kid?" Three big question marks popped into Old Lei's mind. He had lived for thousands of years and had never met such a shameless guy.

However, Lei Lao's eyes flashed quickly, and he found it interesting. He shook his head and laughed, "I do have an eighth-order wood-type magic core, but why should I give it to you? I don't even know you."

"Senior, have you ever heard of the Soul Clan?" Jiang Lin asked.

"I've heard of them, a bunch of scoundrels." Old Lei stroked his beard and gave his comment.

"..." Jiang Lin's expression twitched slightly when Lei Lao used such a childish term as "bad guy" to describe the Soul Clan.

"Has the senior ever heard of the Soul Crafter?" Jiang Lin asked.

"Hmm," Old Lei nodded, acknowledging, "Not bad, a rare normal person."

"What? You want to say you're the Soul Craftsman's grand-disciple? And you want to extort an eighth-tier magic core from me?" Old Lei looked at Jiang Lin with a look that seemed to see right through him, as if to say, I know everything, don't try to be clever with me!
Seeing this, Jiang Lin became even more convinced that the old man Lei in front of him was the kind of person with a sharp mind, so he cautiously said, "Actually... that Soul Craftsman is not only my grandmaster, but also my biological father." Jiang Lin almost slipped up and blurted out "biological father."
"Huh???" Old Lei seemed to be stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Jiang Lin, his deep gaze gradually becoming more and more strange!
"Biological father???" Old Lei seemed incredulous, but a hint of realization flashed in the depths of his eyes!
“Yes! My biological father!” Jiang Lin nodded. He had actually come to accept the fact that the Soul Craftsman was his biological father.

The reason is simple: his father, the Soul Crafter, gave him a huge gift package of magic cores! Four eighth-tier magic cores and one ninth-tier magic core! What else could this be but his own father?

How can a father from a divorced family get his child, who is only related to his mother, to accept him?
The method is very simple!
Give me the money! Buy me a house! Buy me a car!

The child will instantly realize that fathers also have it tough!

"So that's how it is, hahaha. I knew it! How did you manage to get so many resources?" A look of understanding flashed in Old Lei's eyes, and then he laughed a few times, instantly answering many of his doubts.

“Since you are a descendant of Hun Tianjiang, then I should indeed give you a gift.” Old Lei smiled, then opened his palm, and without any visible movement, a wood-type magic core with lightning patterns appeared in his hand.

"The Thunder Prison Wood was a thunder-attribute magical beast when it was alive, but it became a wood-attribute magical beast after it died, which perfectly meets your requirements. Of course, if you think this is useless and need other single-attribute magical cores, then I don't have any of those either." High-level magical cores are extremely rare, and even Elder Lei doesn't have any extra high-level magical cores.

"That's enough! Thank you, senior!" Jiang Lin didn't expect that he could actually use his connections! Moreover, what Elder Lei took out was the wood-type magic core that he needed most! So Jiang Lin didn't hold back and directly asked Elder Lei for the wood-type magic core.

With this, Jiang Lin's final piece of the puzzle to break through to the Dou Zun level was completed!

All he needs to do next is observe the changes in Xiao Yan after breaking through to Dou Zun, and then imitate the breakthrough to Yuan Zun, and that will suffice!
"Hey, what a shameless junior." Old Lei couldn't help but praise Jiang Lin for his shamelessness.

"Thank you for the praise, senior." Jiang Lin's eyelids twitched, and he finally expressed his gratitude. "Hey, your path is no simpler than that of the ancient emperor Tuoshe back then." Seeing that he had already given a gift, Elder Lei decided to give Jiang Lin some guidance on his 'path of spiritual roots'.

"There was a guy who tried to fuse different flames back then, but he almost killed himself after only fusing four or five. But you, the three different spirits within you are still very stable. I feel that you really have a chance to gather nine different spirits and become the strongest Dou Sheng." Elder Lei still had high expectations for Jiang Lin's future.

"Ah, this..." Jiang Lin felt that the more he listened to what Old Lei said, the more he felt that the other party was cursing him.
"Couldn't Senior Lei have set a slightly higher expectation for me?" Jiang Lin couldn't help but complain.

Everyone else boasts that their son has the potential to become an emperor, but here you only brag about becoming a Dou Sheng?
"Isn't this high? This is already the highest, okay!" Old Lei seemed somewhat disdainful of Jiang Lin's arrogance: "You little grasshopper, you still want to become an emperor? It would be quite good if you could achieve the status of a Dou Sheng."

"..." Old Lei's words were a bit harsh, Jiang Lin suddenly realized.

Just a moment ago they were calling him the strongest Dou Sheng, and now they're saying, "It's not bad that he even achieved the Dou Sheng title?" Sure enough, love can shift, right?

"I wouldn't even dare to boast about my son's extraordinary talent as a potential emperor. What, you little grasshopper, are you starting to get all arrogant?" Although Old Lei was foul-mouthed, he had a good heart and didn't want Jiang Lin to be too ambitious.

"Due to certain reasons, I don't want to explain myself now. You'll understand why I'm saying this once you break through to the Dou Sheng realm." Elder Lei knew some of the Spirit Clan's research, and therefore understood that the Nine Spirits were the limit of what beings in the Dou Qi plane could comprehend, not the limit of the world itself.

Elder Lei didn't want to discourage Jiang Lin, so he decided to wait until Jiang Lin broke through to the Dou Sheng realm before telling him: Hahaha! Didn't expect that, did you! Your path has come to an end! Hahahaha! Surprised? Unexpected? Hahahaha!
"You have a son?" Jiang Lin asked subconsciously.

To everyone's surprise, Old Lei immediately bristled and glared, "Can't I have a son??? Even Hun Tianjiang can have a son, so why can't I??"

"Ah no." Jiang Lin felt his scalp tingle and forced himself to explain, "No, senior, you misunderstood me. I've just seen too many top experts who, for various reasons, ultimately didn't have a wife, let alone offspring. So when I heard that a top expert like you could have such a gifted offspring, it was truly astonishing."

"Of course!" Jiang Lin was pleased with Elder Lei's praise, so he couldn't help but laugh and say, "Yes, my child's cultivation level is now unmatched by his peers, and he also possesses a divine bloodline, so he is naturally invincible!"

"Hmm," Jiang Lin's eyes flashed slightly. Divine-grade bloodline. He seemed to have suddenly guessed the true identity of the dark-skinned old man in front of him.
"Moreover, my future grandson will surely be the strongest prodigy in the world!" It seemed that as long as he praised his son, Old Lei would be very happy. Jiang Lin didn't even ask, and Old Lei started talking about his future grandson.
"Why is Old Lei's grandson so talented?" Faced with the terrifying background of the dark-skinned old man in front of him, Jiang Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet and flatter him.

"How could a child with divine bloodline not be highly talented?" Elder Lei said happily.

"Divine-grade bloodline??" Jiang Lin was astonished. How come divine-grade bloodlines are everywhere in this world?

Jiang Lin's current spiritual blood is comparable to, or even stronger than, a divine-grade bloodline. Xiao Yan has also transformed into a divine-grade bloodline, and Gu Xun'er is also highly likely to possess one. Zi Yan's dragon blood purity is in no way inferior to a divine-grade bloodline. Cai Lin is slightly weaker; it remains to be seen whether she can transform into a Nine-Colored Devouring Python. Xiao Lan, who received the Nine Travels inheritance, is also gradually transforming, and her future bloodline will not be inferior to a divine-grade bloodline.
'Old Lei is right. The talent of a child with divine bloodline is unimaginable. The child of Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er...' Old Lei spoke of his son, but Jiang Lin's mind was already on Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er's future child. Soon, Jiang Lin would know just how bizarre his thoughts truly were.
“Yes, a divine bloodline!” Elder Lei nodded excitedly. Seeing that Jiang Lin seemed a little confused, he explained, “You know the ancient clan, right? My son’s fiancée is the daughter of that ancient clan! She also possesses a divine bloodline that is rare to find in a thousand years!”

"???" At this moment, some bold ideas began to rise in Jiang Lin's mind. He looked at Old Lei, who was still talking endlessly about how awesome his son was and how beautiful his future daughter-in-law was.
"Hey kid, what's with that expression? Envious? Jealous?" Old Lei, who had been talking non-stop about his son, quickly noticed that Jiang Lin's expression seemed a bit strange, so he couldn't help but tease him: "It's nothing. I heard that a saintess with divine bloodline has also been born in the Soul Clan. It's just that the Soul Clan's reputation is too bad, so the two clans can't get married. Otherwise, I would have to go and propose marriage."

As he spoke, Old Lei, completely ignoring Jiang Lin's strange expression, sighed, "It's a pity. If the Holy Maiden of the Soul Clan and the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Clan had both married my precious son, and then they could have all given birth to a few genius grandchildren, wouldn't that have been wonderful?"

Lei Lao is clearly indulging in his pipe dream.

"..." If Jiang Lin remembered correctly, the Soul Clan Saintess that Elder Lei mentioned should be Soul Ke'er.

If Jiang Lin's memory wasn't faulty, he seemed to recall that Hun Ke'er might have been betrothed to him as a child?
And that ancient clan's daughter
"Elder Lei, do you know the name of that young lady from the ancient clan?" Jiang Lin wasn't entirely sure, so he asked cautiously.

"That young lady from the ancient clan is quite mysterious. Outsiders might know nothing about her, but I happen to know her name, and seeing that you're quite perceptive, I might as well tell you," Old Lei said with a smile, noticing Jiang Lin's apparent interest in his precious son.
"I heard from someone that the little girl's nickname is Xun'er, and her full name should be Gu Xun'er."

Jiang Lin: “.”

Jiang Lin fell silent and stopped speaking. Although Gu Xun'er was Gu Xun'er to him, in public, Gu Xun'er's name was still Xiao Xun'er.

Old Lei arranged a wonderful marriage for his son, marrying both Hun Ke'er and Gu Xun'er.
"I'm planning to propose marriage soon. If you're curious, I can take you young people on a trip to broaden your horizons," Elder Lei said to Jiang Lin.

What could Jiang Lin say about this? He could only say, "As expected of a senior, he really knows how to play the game."
"Oh right, who is that young man who broke through to Dou Zun? He looks unfamiliar. To break through to Dou Zun at such a young age, he's incredibly talented."

Jiang Lin suddenly wanted to reply:
That's your son's rival in love.
