Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

After Qingyue carried Xiaocai away from the medicine garden, the courtyard was quiet for a moment.

Lin Yao watched Xiao Cai's bouncy figure disappear around the corner, feeling a mix of emotions, but mostly a sense of relief.

As he pondered how the little girl had grown into such a bright and intelligent young woman, he sat down at the stone table, took the teacup from Little Fairy Doctor, sipped it, and then looked at Medusa opposite him.

"How did your conversation go?" he asked.

Medusa didn't answer directly. Instead, she leaned back in her chair, her phoenix eyes scrutinizing him with a half-smile.

"Not bad. This Little Fairy Doctor is more interesting than I imagined. But..." She changed the subject, "Lin Yao, you're quite something, having one girl after another by your side, even that girl Qingyue is completely devoted to you."

"Haha..." Lin Yaoqian laughed. "Your Majesty is joking. Qingyue is my sister, and Xiaocai was also transformed because of a wisp of your soul. In the end, the source is still you."

"Hmph, glib tongue." Medusa rolled her eyes at him but didn't pursue the matter further. Little Fairy Doctor picked up the teapot and poured Medusa a cup: "Your Majesty, please try this. It's a flower tea I brought back from the Izumo Empire. It can calm the mind and nourish the spirit, and it's slightly beneficial to one's understanding of spatial power."

Medusa took the tea, smelled it, took a small sip, and her brows relaxed. "Not bad. Much better than the bitter tea of ​​the Snake-People." Her gaze softened as she looked at Little Fairy Doctor. "You control your Calamity Poison Body so well. It seems Lin Yao has indeed put a lot of effort into you."

"Brother Yao has put in a lot of effort, and I naturally cannot let him down." Little Fairy Doctor said tactfully, but her tone carried a faint warmth.

Seeing that the atmosphere was trending towards a "pleasant conversation," Lin Yao took the opportunity to continue the conversation: "Tonight, I've asked the academy to prepare a good meal as a welcome dinner for Her Majesty the Queen. It's also a good opportunity for you all to get to know each other, as I have quite a few things to discuss with you all."

That night, Canaan College hosted a banquet specifically for Queen Medusa.

The banquet was held in an elegant courtyard on the back hill of the academy, where the moonlight was like water and a gentle breeze was blowing. Su Qian and Qian Bai, the two elders, accompanied the guests, and Zi Yan also came out of seclusion to join in the fun. As soon as Zi Yan saw Xiao Cai, her eyes lit up. The two little girls quickly rolled around together and chattered non-stop. Xiao Cai kept calling her "Sister Zi Yan," which made Zi Yan very happy.

Lin Yao watched their playful antics, a slight smile playing on his lips. He turned to Qing Yue and asked gently, "Qing Yue, is your 'Contract of Equality' with Xiao Cai still stable?"

Qingyue nodded: "I wasn't used to it at first, but I've completely mastered it now. Xiaocai and I are connected by aura. She borrows a portion of my soul power to transform, while I borrow her magical beast perception to strengthen myself. Neither of us will suffer any harm. Xiaocai has now stabilized at the seventh level, and I have also made further progress in my cultivation because of this connection."

As she spoke, she released a faint aura. Although it was very weak, everyone present was a powerful individual, and they immediately determined her cultivation level to be that of a one-star Dou Zong.

"Not bad." Lin Yao nodded. "Your special ability, the Three-Flower Eyes, hasn't been fully developed yet. Take your time, lay a solid foundation first, and you'll have plenty of room to grow later. The Three-Flower Eyes can control all beasts, which is an extremely heaven-defying talent. Once your mental strength improves, you'll be able to handle even high-level magical beasts with ease. There's no need to rush."

Qingyue nodded seriously: "I know, Brother Yao, you said that the foundation determines the height. My most important thing now is to improve my mental strength and condense the power of the Three Flower Pupils into something purer."

Medusa held a glass of fruit wine, her gaze falling on Qingyue, with a hint of sigh: "Back in the Snake-People's Holy City, I never expected that you, little girl, would come this far."

Qingyue turned back and smiled sweetly at her: "Then I have to thank Her Majesty the Queen and Brother Yao for their guidance. If it weren't for you, I might still be stuck in that small place, the Jia Ma Empire."

"It's your own good fortune." Medusa waved her hand gently, her tone becoming more serious. "Speaking of which, because of you and Xiao Cai, I've gained a deeper understanding of my own body."

She set down her wine glass, her fingers slightly spread, and a wisp of pale golden light appeared in her palm. The light wasn't intense, but it carried an extremely pure spatial fluctuation: "I could only unleash about 50-60% of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python's bloodline talent before. But through the connection with Xiao Cai, it seems I've rediscovered every inch of my bloodline. Now my affinity for spatial power has greatly increased, and I'm at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zong..." She smiled gently, "...truly only a thin veil away from becoming a Dou Zun. As long as my spiritual power and internal Dou Qi accumulate to the required level, the breakthrough will be a natural outcome."

Little Fairy Doctor put down her chopsticks, a look of surprise on her face: "Her Majesty's words are more intimidating than any combat technique. It is said that the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's affinity for spatial power is second only to the Ancient Void Dragon, and it seems that it truly lives up to its reputation."

"The Ancient Void Dragon..." Medusa glanced at Zi Yan, who was playing with Xiao Cai not far away, "Look at that little girl, she might surpass me in no time. The talent of the Ancient Void Dragon clan is no joke."

After the banquet, the group didn't disperse but instead moved to a spacious training room in the inner courtyard. Lin Yao sat in the center, surrounded by Little Fairy Doctor, Medusa, Qing Yue, Zi Yan, and Xiao Cai. Even Su Qian and the two elders, Qian Bai and Su Qian, moved chairs to sit on the periphery to listen in, so as not to miss this precious opportunity for exchange.

It was called an exchange, but it was actually more like a private lesson from Lin Yao.

He sat cross-legged, a soft light gathering at his fingertips. Within that light were fluctuations of multiple powers—the power of stars, the power of strange fire, the power of thunder, and wisps of spiritual energy. This light constantly changed shape in his palm, resembling a miniature model of the starry sky.

"The path of cultivation leads to the unity of all methods. Battle Qi is the foundation, spiritual power is the bridge, and the physical body is the vessel. All three are indispensable." Lin Yao's voice was steady and clear. "Each of you has different talents, and your cultivation paths each have their own emphasis. Little Fairy Doctor's poisonous body, Medusa's bloodline, Qingyue's Three-Flower Pupils, Ziyan's demonic beast body... in essence, they are all forms of power. As long as you can find the way to control it, that is your own Great Dao."

He looked at Little Fairy Doctor: "Your Calamity Poison Body's power is essentially 'poison.' Poison can destroy, and it can also bring about new life. When you no longer see it as a curse, but as a power that you can wield at will, it becomes your weapon."

He then looked at Medusa: "The core of your bloodline power lies in the unity of human and snake. Don't resist the animalistic nature within you, but learn to coexist with it. When you fully accept it, your bloodline will naturally respond to you."

Then, looking at Qingyue, he said, "Your Three Flower Pupils are strong in 'Domination.' But the prerequisite for domination is that you have enough strength to make the 'dominated' willingly submit. Mental strength is the area you most need to hone."

Finally, she looked at Zi Yan and said, "You girl, what you lack is strength, not the fine control of it. Taking more pills is a good thing, but you also need to practice how to use your strength effectively."

As he spoke, he extended a finger and gently touched the center of each person's forehead, sending a wisp of pure starlight into their bodies. This wisp of starlight acted like a guiding light, helping them better perceive the trajectory of their own power. This was a new technique Lin Yao had comprehended after breaking through to the Heavenly Realm.

Everyone was immersed in this profound state, and for a moment the training room was silent except for the soft sounds of breathing. Su Qian sat on the outer edge, watching this scene, and a deep sense of awe welled up in his heart—this was not a student giving guidance to a friend, but clearly a grandmaster giving a sermon.

Late at night, everyone dispersed. Lin Yao stood alone in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" Little Fairy Doctor walked up to him without him noticing and looked up at the starry sky as well.

"I'm thinking about the next step." Lin Yao withdrew his gaze. "I feel that my control over the Soul Palace in the Northwest Continent is becoming increasingly profound. The Lesser Soul Palace is now parasitizing within the Soul Palace's body, like an invisible bloodline, quietly infiltrating every corner of the Soul Palace. Thanks to this relationship, our power is expanding faster than we imagined."

He stretched out a hand, a wisp of dark energy swirling around his fingertips: "Most of the Soul Hall's strongholds in the Northwest have been quietly taken over by the Lesser Soul Hall. Their intelligence network, resource channels, and even some of their secretly cultivated pawns have all changed hands without anyone noticing. However, all of this is still clandestine. I need to figure out the situation in the Central Plains before deciding on my next move."

Little Fairy Doctor glanced at him: "Are you going to Zhongzhou?"

"Hmm." Lin Yao nodded. "But before I leave, I need to completely get rid of your Calamity Poison Body." He turned his head, his gaze falling on Little Fairy Doctor's face. "Before, I only suppressed it, but now I am absolutely confident that I can help you completely tame the essence of the poison body. Only when you have complete control over the Calamity Poison Body and there are no more future troubles can I leave with peace of mind."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at him, a hint of tenderness appearing in her pale purple eyes. After a moment, she whispered, "Okay."

The actual refining of a large number of Grade 8 pills began three days later.

Lin Yao sat in the alchemy room for seven days straight. Although in his soul form, the venerable Yao Lao remained by his side, offering occasional guidance. Lin Yao's talent for alchemy was already exceptionally high, and with his soul power breaking through to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm, his control over the heat and the properties of the medicine had reached a level of near perfection. In those seven days, he continuously refined over a dozen batches of pills, ranging from Soul Nourishing Pills to restore spiritual energy, to Body Tempering Pills to refine the physical body, and even Breakthrough Pills to help a Dou Zong break through a bottleneck—all were rare eighth-grade treasures.

Each time a batch of pills was completed, dark clouds would gather in the sky, and pill lightning would descend. But Lin Yao simply stretched out his hand, and a small, pale golden drum—the Five Thunder Drum—conjured at his fingertips. With a gentle vibration, the drumhead swallowed up all the pill lightning in the sky, just like a whale sucking in water.

Later on, the old doctor was completely stunned.

He had seen many alchemy masters withstand the pill lightning, some by brute force, some by using formations to neutralize it, and some by using strange fire to devour the lightning. But he had never seen anyone like Lin Yao, whose pill lightning was completely absorbed by the small drum each time, as if it were nourishment delivered to his doorstep. What alarmed him even more was that the golden lightning patterns on the small drum grew brighter and brighter as it devoured more and more pill lightning, as if accumulating an unimaginable destructive power.

"Are you... accumulating the power of thunder?" Yao Lao finally couldn't help but ask.

Lin Yao carefully put away the last batch of pills, then turned back and smiled slightly: "Not bad. The Five Thunder Drum can contain thunder, and with the Child of Thunder within me as its core, the more pill thunder I absorb, the greater the accumulated thunder power becomes. Once it accumulates to a certain level, the power contained within this drum..."

He didn't finish speaking, but Yao Lao could already sense the unspoken confidence in his tone. A Dou Zun powerhouse was still holding back his trump card. Yao Lao couldn't help but wonder: Just how many more trump cards does this kid have up his sleeve?

"By the way, Elder Yao," Lin Yao took out an item from his storage ring, "this junior has a request."

It was an exquisite jade box. Upon opening it, a faint chill emanated from it. Inside the jade box lay a pale white flame. The flame was not large, but it exuded an extremely ancient and pure aura—the aura of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

The old herbalist was taken aback: "When did you take it?"

"When I fought Xiao Yan, a trace of his Bone Spirit Cold Flame brushed against me, and I quietly left that trace behind." Lin Yao closed the jade box. "I wish to use the power of the stars as a guide to condense my own Bone Spirit Cold Flame. However, this trace is too weak. If you would be willing to bestow a wisp of primordial power upon me, I can nurture a true Bone Spirit Cold Flame with the power of the stars."

The old man remained silent for a moment. The Bone Spirit Cold Flame's origin was extremely important to him; it was the core of his strange flame. But looking at Lin Yao's calm eyes, and recalling Lin Yao's care for Xiao Yan during this time, coupled with his knowledge of Lin Yao's miraculous ability to replicate the origin of a strange flame without harming its original owner, he pondered for a moment and then nodded: "Since you have this ability, then I will bestow upon you a favor. However, you must promise me that you will take good care of that brat Xiao Yan in the future."

"Of course," Lin Yao replied solemnly.

The old physician took a deep breath and separated a wisp of white flame essence from his illusory soul. This wisp was only as thick as a little finger, yet it radiated an astonishingly low temperature, causing even the air to condense into tiny ice crystals. Lin Yao solemnly accepted it, merging the essence from the jade box with the old physician's own, then enveloping it with stellar power and storing it in his sea of ​​consciousness. He felt that given time, he could cultivate a unique Bone Spirit Cold Flame of his own. At that time, he would possess four different flames.

In return, Lin Yao gave all the Soul Nourishing Pills he had refined to Yao Lao: "Senior, these pills will greatly help your soul recovery. Use them first, and when I find more precious medicinal materials from Yao Lao's Abyss, I will refine even better ones for you."

Looking at the bottle of pills in his hand, which exuded a rich, fragrant aroma, and then at Lin Yao's earnest face, the old apothecary was overwhelmed with mixed feelings: "Very well, then this old man will shamelessly accept it."
