"Yes, brother."

Qingyue nodded.

"I encountered some problems while researching related formations, and I would like to discuss them with my brother."

I asked She Yu to lead everyone, using your ideas, brother, to enhance my combat capabilities through the power of the formation.

However, the effects varied greatly. When She Yu and the others provided battle qi and blood, the concentrated energy was too complex and difficult to control.

"Is it difficult to control?"

Lin Yao pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked a question.

"Xiaoyue, is it just your mental power controlling the energy within?"

"Yes."

"No wonder."

Xiaoyue, I think you should change your approach. Not only should Sheyu and the others provide battle qi and blood, but their spiritual power should also be involved in the formation.

Of course, it's not as simple as just combining fighting spirit and blood energy; it requires some basic planning.

For example, using your Azure Eyes and Three-Flower Pupils as a foundation, combined with your spiritual power, you could construct a mental framework similar to a net, to complement the array.

"To capture them?"

A thoughtful look flashed in Qingyue's eyes.

"Yes, your mental energy has formed a concise mental network, and the network structure occupies an important node within it. The rest can be filled in by She Yu and the others."

Qingyue pondered carefully and realized it was indeed a small problem; a sudden realization dawned on her eyes:

"I understand, brother."

The two chatted for a long time, and Lin Yao discovered that although Qing Yue was only at the Dou Wang level, with the help of formations and magical beasts such as She Yu, she was in no way inferior to some Dou Huang level experts.

It won't be long before he reaches the Dou Zong level of combat power, which is really impressive.

It can be said that the little girl who was in Stone Desert City, who lost her only mother and lived in constant fear, has undergone a tremendous change.

Lin Yao looked at Qing Yue, who had a smile on her face and her eyes sparkling, and sighed inwardly.

Afterwards, once Qingyue's soul power was determined to be up to standard, Lin Yao immediately taught her the Starry Soul Tempering Technique that he had summarized.

This is a technique he created based on his own insights, using the power of the stars in the sky to temper his spiritual power.

Although the Azure-Eyed Three-Flower Pupil can contract with many snake-like magical beasts and is known for its mental power, it will grow even faster with the assistance of mental cultivation techniques.

Over the next two days, Lin Yao taught Qingyue the Starry Soul Tempering Technique in its entirety, prepared delicious food for Ziyan, and then prepared to go into seclusion to refine pills.

This was partly to hone his alchemy skills and partly to familiarize himself with how spiritual energy in the current spiritual realm could aid in alchemy.

……

Inside the alchemy chamber of Canaan Academy.

Lin Yao sat upright on the futon, flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of blue flame leaped out, rushing into the medicine cauldron and turning into a raging fire.

One by one, rare medicinal herbs fell into the cauldron under the influence of battle qi, and spiritual power enveloped them, immediately beginning the alchemy process.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. When the last pill was produced, Lin Yao's self-cultivation and familiarity with his spiritual power had come to an end.

Lin Yao not only benefited greatly from his spiritual power and alchemy skills, but also achieved numerous results.

The table was neatly arranged with many pills.

Many of them are pills that can strengthen and enhance one's fighting spirit.

Looking at the dazzling array of pills before him, Lin Yao smiled with satisfaction.

In the Dou Qi Continent, you can't get by without taking drugs.

After all, without taking drugs, even a protagonist like Xiao Yan, who is destined for greatness, would need at least a thousand years to catch up with the imperial clans whose Dou Qi bloodline concentration is strong.

Instead of breaking through to Dou Di at the age of 30 as depicted in the original work.

Therefore, taking drugs is the only way to go.

As for the so-called unstable foundation, that's just worrying unnecessarily.

Whether it's the strange fire Lin Yao currently possesses, or the strange fires he might collect later, or even the Star Palace that Ling Yao himself owns—this terrifying accessory—it can resolve the so-called unstable foundation situation.


Thinking this, Lin Yao sensed his own aura and, while receiving feedback from alchemy, had already consolidated his position at the peak of the two-star Dou Zong level.

Furthermore, his control over battle qi has reached perfection; it's time for him to take a support pill at the Dou Zong level.

Lin Yao flashed to the energy-rich valley in the inner courtyard, handed the Fighting Spirit Pill to Qing Lin who was cultivating there, and instructed her to protect him.

Immediately, he flew to the top of the mountain, took out the Azure Lotus Seat, sat cross-legged, and adjusted his breathing to the optimal state.

Half an hour later, Lin Yao opened his eyes, his breath full and abundant.

He flipped his palm over, revealing a pill the size of a longan with a wonderfully fragrant aroma.

Without hesitation, Lin Yao swallowed the pill in one gulp.

It melts in your mouth, and a warm, surging medicinal power instantly sweeps through your body, filling every meridian, and your strength steadily increases.

"Drugs feel so good."

Lin Yao admired it in his heart and immediately activated the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame Sub-Flame to firmly envelop the medicinal power and rapidly circulate it along the route of the Five Elements Technique.

A vast amount of cosmic energy emanated from him, forming a massive energy vortex.

After initial refining by the Azure Lotus Seat and double purification by the strange fire, it fused with the medicinal power of the pills, transforming into pure battle qi that continuously nourished his meridians and flesh.

……

On the first day, Lin Yao broke through to the three-star Dou Zong level with unstoppable momentum, and his aura steadily increased. On the third day, he reached the bottleneck between the three-star and four-star Dou Zong levels, which is the watershed between low-level and mid-level Dou Zong. He calmed his mind, circulated three parts of his mind at the same time, absorbed the medicinal power, gathered the energy of heaven and earth, and refined the remaining medicinal power in his body, and did his best to accumulate power.

On the morning of the seventh day, the energy vortex surrounding Lin Yao slowly dissipated. He slowly opened his eyes, his deep gaze calm and undisturbed. He rose and walked towards the edge of the cliff, his aura growing stronger with each step. By the time he reached the edge, his aura had reached its critical point.

"break!"

With a long roar echoing through the mountain peak, Lin Yao's powerful battle qi erupted, his momentum soaring straight up, breaking through the barrier in one fell swoop and entering the ranks of four-star Dou Zong. He continued to rise all the way to the mid-stage of four-star, and only slowly stopped at the critical point of the late stage of four-star.

"Break through again!"

Lin Yao shouted again, his momentum rising once more, finally settling steadily at the late stage of the four-star Dou Zong realm.

He let out a long sigh, feeling the surging power within him, a joyful smile spreading across his lips. This breakthrough not only greatly increased his battle qi cultivation, but also brought his soul power a step further, and his physical body was thoroughly tempered. He immediately returned to the Azure Lotus Seat, took out the Profound Thunder Tempering Pill, and swallowed it, guiding the power of wind and thunder to intertwine with the medicinal power, circulating within his body to destroy and repair, tempering his physical body.

A day later, Lin Yao opened his eyes, a few flashes of lightning in them. He stretched, his bones cracking with a crisp sound. At this moment, the strength of his physical body was no less than that of an ordinary high-level sixth-tier magical beast. The effect of the Profound Thunder Tempering Pill far exceeded the tempering effect of a year's worth of the Natal Blood Pill. One enhanced potential, and the other stimulated the upper limit, complementing each other.

Lin Yao pondered to himself that while his alchemy skills were already quite good, his reserves of pill formulas were far from sufficient. It was time to head to the Black Corner Region and collect Han Feng's alchemy legacy. Han Feng had inherited a large amount of Yao Lao's teachings, which would surely make up for his shortcomings in pill formulas and alchemy skills. Moreover, he had already subdued Yuan Yi and the Eight Doors, which would come in handy this time.

In addition, he should take Qinglin and Ziyan out for training, return to the Jia Ma Empire to keep their appointment, and at the same time go to the Snake People's Clan so that Qinglin can receive the inheritance of the Azure Serpent Three Eyes.

Three days later, Lin Yao, along with Qing Lin and Zi Yan, arrived at the residence of Elder Su Qian.

Su Qian sat upright in the main seat, looking intently at Lin Yao, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you really planning to take Zi Yan and Qing Lin out for training?"

Lin Yao bowed slightly, his tone firm: "That's right, Elder. I intend to continue my previous plan to travel the Northwest Continent. I returned to the academy ahead of schedule to break through to the Dou Zong realm. Now that my cultivation has been consolidated, I plan to continue my travels."

Su Qian nodded slightly, turning his gaze to Qing Lin. At this moment, Qing Lin had already broken through to the four-star Dou Wang level, her aura calm and restrained. Lin Yao slowly spoke, "To be honest, Elder, I plan to take Qing Lin to receive an inheritance, an inheritance of the Azure Serpent Three Eyes."

"The inheritance of the Azure Serpent Three Eyes? Is it from the Heavenly Serpent Palace?" Su Qian raised an eyebrow and reminded him, "Lin Yao, I need to remind you that the Heavenly Serpent Palace is very obsessed with the Azure Serpent Three Eyes. If they learn about Qing Lin's Azure Serpent Three Eyes, it is extremely unpredictable what they will do."

Lin Yao gently shook his head and smiled, "Elder, don't worry, it's not the Heavenly Serpent Palace. I've already taken precautions against the Heavenly Serpent Palace. I've created a secret technique that can conceal Qing'er's aura of the Azure Serpent Three Eyes. It's a legacy of the Serpent Clan, and Queen Medusa is willing to pass on this long-treasured legacy to Qing'er."

Upon hearing this, Su Qian suddenly understood. The Snake-People race had an ancient secret about the three-eyed Azure Serpent, making this inheritance anything but ordinary. He looked at Lin Yao, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes: "However, the Snake-People race's attitude towards humans isn't exactly friendly. Under these circumstances, Queen Medusa was willing to give you this inheritance. It seems your previous experiences weren't simple either!"

Lin Yao scratched the back of his head and smiled without saying a word.

Zi Yan, who had been unable to contain herself any longer, immediately shouted when she saw the two looking at her, "I don't care, I want to go too!"

Lin Yao smiled and pleaded on her behalf: "Elder, Zi Yan's strength has reached the Dou Huang realm. I think it's time to let her go out and see the world. I will take good care of her."

Looking at Zi Yan's expectant face, Su Qian couldn't bear to refuse. He nodded and solemnly instructed, "Alright, Zi Yan, since you want to go, then go with Lin Yao. But remember, you must listen to Lin Yao while you're out there, and don't be willful." He then looked at Lin Yao, his tone serious, "Lin Yao, you are the leader of this training trip, so you must take good care of Zi Yan and Qing Lin. I'm entrusting them to you."

"Yes, Elder. I will definitely take good care of them." Lin Yao bowed and replied.

Su Qian then asked Lin Yao to refine a Breakthrough Pill for the Inner Court before leaving, and Lin Yao immediately agreed.

Three days later, everything was ready in Lin Yao's courtyard. Lin Yao touched the Heartfire Flame on his chest, looked in the direction of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes, and then turned to look at Qing Lin and Zi Yan: "Are you all ready? If you are, let's set off."

"Ready, young master," Qinglin replied softly.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Zi Yan jumped up excitedly.

As soon as the words were spoken, three streaks of light—one blue, one purple, and one green—slashed across the sky and flew towards the outside of Canaan Academy, officially embarking on their training journey.

Meanwhile, in Maple City of the Black Corner Region, lay the residence of Medicine Emperor Han Feng. In the plaza deep within the bamboo forest, Han Feng sat before the Myriad Beast Cauldron, his fingertips manipulating the deep blue flames as he completed the final step of the Core Formation process.

Half an hour later, the air was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and a Royal Extreme Pill flew out of the cauldron, which he caught steadily in his hand. A smug smile curled at the corner of Han Feng's lips as he coldly muttered to himself, "The Royal Extreme Pill, nothing special!"

In an instant, his eyes were replaced by malice and resentment, and his fists clenched tightly: "If it weren't for that old bastard Venerable Feng of Zhongzhou who doubted me, with my alchemy skills, I would have already completed the seventh-grade alchemist assessment. Why would I be trapped in this remote area? Damn it!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, he couldn't help but cough violently, his breathing becoming erratic. After a long while, the coughing gradually subsided. Han Feng gazed into the distance, his eyes filled with hatred and resentment. Back then, he had betrayed Yao Lao to seize the Burning Technique, only to end up in such a state, which deepened the resentment in his heart.

Han Feng stands on the chaotic and disorderly martial arts territory of the Black Corner Region. With his superb alchemy skills, he is revered as the Medicine Emperor by all forces in the region.

But this seemingly supreme glory was never a title to be proud of in Han Feng's heart. Instead, it was more like a thorn that was always stuck in his heart, a kind of extremely ironic shackle.

Back then, he was the young master of the Starfall Pavilion, a top power in Central Continent, and the personal disciple of Yao Lao, the universally recognized number one alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent. Born into nobility and possessing exceptional talent, he should have stood at the pinnacle of Central Continent, looking down upon all living beings. Now, however, he could only reign supreme in the remote and desolate Black Corner Region. This stark contrast filled him with complex and unsettling emotions whenever he thought about it. He no longer wanted to dwell on the word "regret," but the deep-seated hatred clung to his very being like a poisonous vine, keeping him restless day and night.

"It's all your fault, you old bastard! You won't let me rest in peace even in death!" Han Feng clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, deep blue flames flickering in his palms, his eyes churning with venomous resentment. "That old bastard, Venerable Feng, because of you, targeted me at every turn, forcing me to flee Zhongzhou with nowhere to stand. I even managed to snatch half a scroll of the Burning Technique that I had been longing for!"

He abruptly raised his eyes, looking in the direction of Zhongzhou, his face slightly contorted with anger, a defiant and crazed smile curving his lips: "What 'immoral character'? That's all bullshit! You're just afraid of my alchemy talent, which far surpasses yours, and that I'll overshadow you in the future!"

Even with incomplete cultivation techniques, forced to rebuild them, and the arduous search for exotic flames in the perilous Black Corner Region, Han Feng still managed to climb to his current position step by step through his own methods. He even managed to complete half of the Burning Flame Technique through sheer willpower. This obsession and ruthlessness were the foundation of his survival in dire circumstances. "Old man, you can't stop me!" he roared in a low voice, his chest heaving violently. He then coughed violently, his pale face revealing an undeniable weakness, but the ambition in his eyes burned like fire. "I will use the Burning Flame Technique to reach the top of the Dou Qi Continent, reclaim the title of the continent's number one alchemist, and let the whole world know that I, Han Feng, am the one who is right!"

Just as Han Feng's emotions were churning and his hatred was hard to quell, a hoarse but extremely respectful voice slowly came from outside the hall, breaking the silence: "Master, there is an important matter to report."

Han Feng instantly suppressed all outward emotions, gently smoothing the wrinkles on his robes. He stood tall and straight before the alchemy furnace, his hands clasped behind his back, gazing indifferently into the distance, adopting a profound and enigmatic contemplative demeanor. He was inherently suspicious and never trusted anyone. Even now, with his internal energy surging and his body weakened, he would never allow his subordinates to see the slightest hint of his disheveled state.

"Is this Han Beng? Come in." His voice was cold and distant, carrying the unique majesty of the Medicine Emperor, brooking no argument.
