Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 703 Who do you think you are? Do you think the lightning tribulation is your private property?

While all the forces in the Central Plains were in turmoil because of the Weapon Sect, Jiang Lin met an old friend at the Mo Mansion.

"I knew it was you the moment I realized the Stone Clan had arrived." On the upper floor of the Mo Mansion, Jiang Lin looked at the Stone Clan Dou Zun in front of him and sighed.

"Three years ago, using some traces left by the clan, I returned to Zhongzhou and found the Stone Clan members whose bloodline had declined in the Desolate Stone Mountains." The Stone Clan's Dou Zun looked somewhat weary. Over the years, he had traveled to many places and finally found the legendary ancestral land of the clan in the Desolate Stone Mountains, where he discovered a place called Stone Village. Shi Tian and his group were brought out from Stone Village.

And this Stone Clan Battle Venerable is none other than Shi Lei, who had some connection with Jiang Lin in the past.

"The bloodline of the Stone Clan has declined significantly, so some Stone Clan members who can no longer awaken their clan markings are sent to the Desolate Stone Mountains. Those people inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives outside, and so..." Shi Lei recounted all his experiences over the years to Jiang Lin in detail, and Jiang Lin did not interrupt, but listened silently.

According to Shi Lei's description, the Stone Clan actually had some backup plans, one of which was the Stone Village deep in the Wilderness Mountains. It was a village composed of ordinary Stone Clan members who had broken away from the Stone Emperor Clan's markings. The number of people was not large, and there were fewer than a thousand people now.

However, with the demise of the Stone Clan's main body but the undying Stone Emperor's Dao patterns, the few hundred people in Stone Village will begin to produce prodigies capable of saving the Stone Clan. Furthermore, to ensure Stone Village's early stability, the Stone Clan used a secret technique to strip a young prodigy of his bloodline before sending him to Stone Village.
Originally, the Stone Clan did not have such powerful means to strip away the Emperor's blood so cleanly. However, that Stone Clan prodigy was different. It was rumored that he was born with a Sacred Bone within his body. During its development, the Sacred Bone seized the prodigy's Emperor's blood. As long as the Sacred Bone was removed, the prodigy's Stone Clan bloodline could be stripped away.
Hmm. As Jiang Lin listened to this story, he felt increasingly strange. He had a vague sense of familiarity with it.
Unfortunately, Shi Tian didn't have a younger brother. Otherwise, they would have been a perfect family.

After finding Stone Village, Shi Lei used some secret techniques he had learned from those immortal old men on the Origin Qi Continent. By hunting down a large number of powerful magical beasts in the Desolate Stone Mountains and using their bloodlines as a medicinal ingredient, he forcibly awakened the Stone Clan bloodline of several Stone Village residents, including Shi Tian.

This blood fusion technique was not originally possessed by the Stone Clan. This was because Shi Lei learned it from a mysterious being from the Origin Qi Continent. Although the being had never revealed their identity, Shi Lei knew where they came from—the Devouring Spirit Clan, which was wiped out by eight clans thousands of years ago.

The Devouring Spirit Clan was wiped out on the Dou Qi Continent, but there are still a few survivors on the Origin Qi Continent. However, those people generally do not reveal their identities and quietly remain invisible.

After rebuilding the new Stone Clan, Shi Lei began to teach Shi Tian and others while secretly searching for the spatial coordinates of the Stone Realm near the Desolate Stone Mountains. Later, when Shi Lei heard that the Spirit Craftsman was going to preach in the Central Continent, he asked the newly formed Stone Clan to come and try their luck.

"Now that Shi Tian has received your true teachings, it can be considered that one of my wishes has been fulfilled." After recounting everything he had experienced over the years, Shi Lei suddenly looked into Jiang Lin's eyes, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly.

"I will come back to find you within three years." After saying this, Shi Lei stood up, bowed deeply to Jiang Lin, and then turned and left.

Jiang Lin didn't speak, but just stared silently in the direction of Lotus Weapon Mountain in the distance, slightly lost in thought.

"Pass down the order: I am going into seclusion. For the next three years, no one may disturb me except for urgent matters." After leaving these words, Jiang Lin began his seclusion to cultivate, taking with him countless classic texts sent by various forces in the Central Plains.

Actually, calling it cultivation isn't entirely accurate, because Jiang Lin is already at the peak of Dou Zun. After stabilizing for a while, he'll reach the Great Perfection of the Peak Dou Zun, which is the traditional Nine-Turn Dou Zun peak.
Jiang Lin spent most of his time observing the various strange and wonderful fighting techniques, skills, and secret methods of the different forces in Zhongzhou.

Cultivation time always flies by. While Jiang Lin was quietly consolidating his abilities, the Weapon Sect outside was developing at an unimaginable speed. The Medicine Clan and the Pill Tower were almost directly grafted into the Weapon Sect, as were the Soul Hall and the Heavenly Craft Pavilion. The Heavenly Craft Pavilion had a complex internal power structure, which led to more forces constantly filling the various academies of the Weapon Sect.

The forces in Zhongzhou all understood that the Weapon Sect was more like a super martial arts academy created by the Spirit Craftsmen in collaboration with everyone.

Yes, the Academy of Fighting Spirits.

Of course, you could also call it a martial arts academy.

Because one of the guiding principles in Reiki is that the vessel is the vessel of Qi, and Qi is the vessel that carries Qi.
In other words, it can be called either the Qi Sect or the Qi Sect. This is because the Qi Sect is a sect that studies Qi.

Because the full name of the Weapon Sect is Heavenly Dao Weapon Sect, many forces refer to the Weapon Sect by the nickname of the Dao Sect.

Furthermore, because the inheritance given by the Spirit Craftsman is too terrifying, many top forces want to obtain it. To obtain it, one must enter the Weapon Sect and exchange one's own clan's cultivation techniques and fighting skills for the Weapon Sect's internal cultivation techniques and fighting skills.

As top-tier forces joined one after another, the foundation of the Weapon Sect became increasingly terrifying, eventually leading to the sect becoming a sacred place with a fatal attraction for everyone in the world.

Furthermore, in order to deal with conflicts between certain groups, the Weapon Sect is gradually forming a combat system. After Jiang Lin revealed the Ghost Cultivation Technique, the members of the Weapon Sect became increasingly ruthless in their attacks.
In less than two years, the basic framework of the Weapon Sect was formed, and a large number of talents from the Central Plains and other regions emerged in various academies.

Because of the high concentration of talent, the Weaponry Sect began to produce some impressive results in less than two years. In particular, the collaboration between the Alchemy Academy and the Weaponry Academy in their ongoing research on alchemy and weaponry became increasingly close.

However, due to the expansion of the Artifact Sect, the scale of Lotus Artifact Mountain became somewhat insignificant. Initially, some suggested relocating, but this proposal was ultimately rejected. Instead, a grand plan was proposed to alter the terrain and use human power to create a pattern of celestial energy.
Jiang Lin didn't care what the Weapon Sect would eventually become, because he was just a leader who occasionally researched things that interested him and shared the results, which was already good enough.

During this time, Jiang Lin refined the strange ice given to him by Binghe into a spirit core, and his cultivation level officially reached the peak of the Dou Zun realm. Just as he had expected, he did not undergo any Dou Zun Nine Revolutions, because the quality of his Dou Qi was so terrifying that it could not be transformed further; if it continued to transform, it might directly become Saint Dou Qi.
The Ice Spirit Core is a small sword named Frost's Lament, a divine ice spirit sword. This is one of Jiang Lin's few offensive spiritual weapons, and its attack power is expected to be enough to give Lei Dong a taste of his own medicine.
The strange ice that the Divine Essence Ice Spirit Sword possesses is rarely recorded. It is called the Netherworld Ice Soul Crystal, a bizarre and exotic substance capable of freezing one's soul. It is unknown which powerful figure left behind these strange Dao patterns.
Yes, Dao patterns. Jiang Lin already understood that those alien species were fundamentally different from the Dao patterns left behind by the powerful figures.
Take Jiang Lin for example. He believed that if he were to die suddenly, his divine essence fire would be preserved and would be unique, and it would not be a different kind of fire.
However, although the Divine Essence Ice Spirit Sword is sharp, Jiang Lin can't find anyone to use it. At most, he can spar with Lei Dong. But forget it, if the Divine Essence Ice Spirit Sword were to be given to Lei Dong, Jiang Lin would be disgusted by the Divine Essence Ice Spirit Sword entering his own body.

As Jiang Lin realized that he had more and more spiritual cores in his body, he began to prepare to change the naming rules.

With divine wind spirit wings, divine fire spirit lotus, and divine ice spirit sword, Jiang Lin decided to find an opportunity to refine the fragment of the Emperor Cauldron within his body into a spirit core weapon.

Just as Jiang Lin was quietly refining his skills, the Soul Craftsman finally returned one day. The Soul Craftsman was first shocked by the grandeur of the Weapon Sect, and at the same time felt very gratified. He then handed a dark-colored bead to Jiang Lin.

"The most precious thing in the Dark Demon Realm is right here." The Soul Craftsman handed Jiang Lin the fragments of the Dark Demon Realm's rules, which he had worked with several Soul Clan Battle Saints to refine.

"As for how to use it, that's up to you." The Soul Craftsman left after saying this.

Not long after the Soul Craftsman left, three months after Shi Tian suddenly left the Weapon Sect, Shi Tian, ​​with red eyes, handed a stone heart covered with golden patterns to Jiang Lin.

"This is... the last thing my teacher gave to my master."

Jiang Lin looked at the black bead in his hand and the golden-patterned stone heart, his expression silent.

“Boy, the material inside this stone heart is the Dao artifact material, the exotic soil.” The Nine-Wandering Sparrow’s voice faintly echoed in Jiang Lin’s mind.

"Because of its ever-renewing nature, the Breath Soil cannot appear out of thin air. It can only be created by mixing different exotic soils. When Shi Lei entered the Ancient Sea Secret Realm, it was most likely to find materials to combine with the exotic soils of the Stone Realm, thus creating the Breath Soil."

"For the Stone Clan, the Breath of Earth is something that can give birth to a top-tier Dou Sheng powerhouse, thereby revitalizing the Stone Clan, but he clearly trusts you more."

What is the exotic soil of the Ancient Sea Secret Realm? Jiang Lin now understands that it is Origin Soil. Shi Lei had already fused Origin Soil on the Origin Qi Continent using his special bloodline. Moreover, the parchment scroll that Shi Lei had Jiang Lin send out recorded his fusion experience. After Shi Lei corresponded to the Origin Qi Continent, the exotic soil substances marked on the Dou Qi Continent only needed to be found by the Stone Clan. There was hope that they could fuse high-level exotic soil, thereby revitalizing the Stone Clan.

But clearly, Shi Lei was too late; the Stone Clan had already chosen a different path. In the end, Shi Lei chose to use himself as the material to create the top-tier exotic soil, all for the sake of giving the Stone Clan a better future.

"Sigh," Jiang Lin didn't say anything about it, but just sighed softly, and then began a year-long weapon forging process.

Six months later, the Ink Soul Plain was suddenly covered by terrifying spiritual pressure, and the scene of the birth of a top-level spiritual weapon shocked everyone!

The moment Jiang Lin appeared amidst endless radiance, clad in an earth-yellow armor, the Divine Essence Earth Spirit Armor was successfully created.

However, Jiang Lin did not hesitate and turned around to begin refining a new spiritual weapon.
Half a year later, at a certain moment, the sky over the Ink Soul Plain suddenly darkened. Amidst the endless eerie ghostly energy, a Human Emperor Banner, radiating both light and black energy, instantly absorbed all the surrounding ghostly energy!
The Divine Spirit Banner is complete!
Immediately afterwards, a loud bang!
The heavens and earth trembled, and thunder roared! The terrifying tribulation of lightning caused all living beings in the Central Continent to feel a tremor in their souls!
"Huh? He broke through while enduring such a lightning tribulation?!"

"Is this even a lightning tribulation that a human can withstand?!"

"Good lad! Even with my cultivation as a four-star Dou Sheng, I feel a chill run down my spine just hearing that thunder!"

Jiang Lin, who had just refined the Human Emperor Banner, looked up at the gloomy sky. In the Chaos Spirit Eye, the world instantly faded in color, and the Nine-fold Thunder Disc in the sky above became the Nine-fold Thunder Heaven. The thunder pearl at the top had already locked onto him.

"The Thunder of the Battle Saint. This is the last batch, so it's coming quite fiercely, right?" Jiang Lin unfolded his wind wings, and fire lotuses bloomed beneath his feet. Ice swords and dark banners floated around him. Because the Breath Soil was a top-grade material and had the characteristic of being inexhaustible, Jiang Lin was able to drive these spiritual weapons without any burden.

"I will not undergo tribulation for now. I will choose a place to undergo tribulation after a while." Amidst the astonished gazes of the Dou Sheng and Dou Zun of Zhongzhou, Jiang Lin, who was under the Ninefold Thunder Prison, actually spoke softly to the thunder that was about to be unleashed.

"Who does he think he is?! The tribulation lightning has already been triggered, can't it just be stopped like that?"

"Even if he is a spirit craftsman, he doesn't have to be this arrogant!" The Dou Sheng powerhouses who rushed over after sensing the terrifying tribulation energy were very dissatisfied with Jiang Lin's behavior of directly telling the tribulation to go home.

Arrogance doesn't have to be this extreme!

Who do you think you are? Do you think the lightning tribulation is your private property? You think you can just stop striking me like that? Wouldn't that be a waste of your time?
However, an unbelievable scene unfolded: the seemingly world-destroying Ninefold Thunder Prison actually receded!

However, it hasn't completely faded. Because
"WTF!! Cheating!!"

"Damn you, Heaven!! The Great Way is ruthless!!!"

Boom! !
Before the Ninefold Thunder Prison disappeared, two bolts of lightning struck down instantly, directly hitting the two most arrogant Dou Sheng hiding in the void, instantly injuring them severely!
The Soul Emperor Lei Ying, Gu Yuan, and the others who had arrived exchanged glances at this bizarre scene, remaining silent for a long time.
“I think we might need to have a serious talk,” Lei Ying suggested.

"Hmm." Soul Emperor Gu Yuan and the others nodded silently.
