Start from refining weapons in Doupo Xiuxian

"I didn't expect that there really are sea people." At this time, Yao Tianhuo's soul body emerged and said with some curiosity.

"You just need to remember that if you are a regional powerhouse in the Douqi Continent and have never heard of a race outside the Douqi Continent, then there is no doubt that that race is most likely very weak." Yao Chen also revealed his soul form.

They no longer needed to hide, as both sides were basically showing their cards. Furthermore, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo would need to stay with Hun Ke'er in the end, and could not go in with Jiang Lin and the others.

The two spirits within Jiang Lin's body were slightly more unique. The Nine-Wandering Sparrow was a special spirit, possessing no inherent power. Having completely separated itself from the Nine-Wandering Fuyao Wind, it could truly be described as a 'Nine-Wandering Secret Art at its most refined'. The Nine-Wandering Sparrow could utilize the power of Jiang Lin's Twelve Wind Spirit Wings to activate the Nine-Wandering Art, but it possessed no power of its own.

As for the other one, Pei Xuan was even more unique. He'd learned a secret technique from somewhere, allowing him to separate himself into several small, grayish-white ghosts. This reduced the quality of his own energy without sacrificing the overall amount. Only someone as strange as him could come up with such a move. However, the prerequisite was that he couldn't gather within the secret realm. Otherwise, he'd have to bet on Jiang Lin's "inner world" being sufficiently sealed.

I have to say, every time Jiang Lin looked inside his body and saw the densely packed gray and white ghosts, he felt that Pei Xuan had more and more potential to become a demon king.

"But it seems that these mermaids are living a miserable life," Zi Yan muttered softly.

Hun Ke'er replied, "That's normal. They are too weak. There is no place for the weak in the world of the strong."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan tacitly agreed with this statement, because this is a fantasy world where the power of an individual can destroy the world, and the personal will must be able to override the collective will. This is the inevitable result based on the logic of the birth of power.

"The mermaids are indeed living a miserable life," Cai Lin, who was wrapped around Xiao Yan, suddenly said in a low voice. She had originally planned to break through to the Dou Zong level, but Jiang Lin told her not to do so for now, as she would lose the cultivation resources in the secret realm if she did. So, Cai Lin gave up on the Dou Zong breakthrough for the time being.

"I remember that the Snake People were very powerful in the Jia Ma Empire," Xiao Yan thought for a moment and replied.

But Cai Lin refused to buy it. Instead, she replied coldly, "That's because the Gama Empire is weak, and the Serpent People are strong. Otherwise, look at what would happen if the Serpent People weakened. The Gama Empire has never lacked Serpent People women in its slave trade."

"Uh" Xiao Yan scratched his head awkwardly, feeling that he shouldn't have spoken.

Yao Chen then asked his own question: "These three tribes of the Ancient Sea all call themselves the Saint Tribe. Should there be a Fighting Saint among them?"

"There were some in the past." Hun Ke'er nodded and said, "It seems that there were some in history, but they were sent to the Ancient Sea Secret Realm. In modern times, only half-saints exist among the three tribes."

"That's also very powerful." Yao Chen felt that a semi-saint was also very powerful.

However, Hun Ke'er had a strange look on her face, and she said quietly, "The contemporary semi-saints of their three clans were captured and used to refine weapons."

"Ah?!!" Yao Chen and others immediately showed shock!

Damn, even though they have never met before, Yao Chen and others have already begun to feel sad for the three tribes!

Even being sent into the secret realm of the ancient sea didn't seem like a voluntary act!

"What kind of tragic race is this?" Xiao Yan didn't know what to say. This was simply too bullying.

What? They're not human?

You must bully me as hard as you can! Hehehe!

"Strong people like Half Saints are the backbone members of various forces in the Douqi Continent. A single move can affect the entire body, so it is not easy for them to move. Therefore, the three tribes of the ancient sea are naturally like this." Although Hun Ke'er has no mercy, she will also be alert to the weakness of the three tribes.

All suffering comes from weakness.

When the Soul Craftsman first broke through to the ninth level Soul Weapon Master, he needed some high-level materials to "prove his way". In this world, the strong are the high-level materials of the stronger.

Therefore, considering the regional balance, the three tribes of the ancient sea were naturally attacked by the Soul Clan, and all the semi-saints of the three tribes were eliminated.

Even though the three tribes knew the result, they did not dare to complain.

Because in the sea of ​​the survival of the fittest, destroying you really has nothing to do with you.

Everyone: "."

"That's true." Gu Xun'er was silent for a moment, and finally sighed.

A similar situation was actually unfolding within the Eight Ancient Clans. The weakened Stone Clan was practically extinct. Why was this person so low-key? Because they knew they couldn't afford to be high-profile. If they proclaimed themselves high and brought disaster upon themselves, wouldn't their entire clan vanish without a trace?

Soul Clan: Hehehe! I kid you! Even if you keep a low profile, you'll disappear without a trace!

"Okay, the Dou Zuns of the mermaid tribe are here." Hun Ke'er interrupted everyone.

The next moment, the door to the mysterious altar opened, letting in moist air. An old woman with a hunched back walked in, holding a sea scepter inlaid with various gemstones. Her cloudy eyes remained calm as she silently bowed to Hun Ke'er and the others, knelt on one knee, and said humbly:

"The mermaid tribe is here to await the arrival of all the envoys." The Nine-Star Dou Zun, the King of Mermaids, the Blue Reverend, Xiang Hun Ke'er and the other so-called weaklings knelt on one knee.

"We have prepared delicious food for you envoys. If you are ready, you can give us your orders at any time."

Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan silently looked at the Mermaid King kneeling on one knee, their expressions somewhat complicated.

Hun Keer was right, this was a race with a broken backbone.

"Not for now. Give us some time to adjust. We will notify you when needed." Hun Ke'er rejected the proposal of Lord Canglan.

"Okay, you can tell me when you need me." Venerable Canglan said goodbye to Hun Ke'er without any expression, then slowly walked towards the altar door at the back and finally disappeared.

"Don't look at it. Learn the water-avoidance technique first. We are now under the deep sea, and the environment outside is all sea water." Hun Ke'er interrupted everyone's thoughts with different expressions, took out a soul jade slip and handed it to everyone.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan and others didn't know what to say. They first took the soul jade slip, memorized the water-avoidance technique in it into their souls, and then began to practice hard.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Nine-Star Dou Zun has become so humble." Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo, who did not need to learn the Water Avoidance Technique, looked at each other, feeling a little bit incredible about the behavior of Canglan Zun just now.

"In the Dou Qi Continent, Nine-Star Dou Zuns generally have backers. As long as they don't actively provoke Dou Shengs, the Dou Shengs of various races generally won't take action." After seeing everyone start practicing the Water Avoidance Technique, Hun Ke'er shook her head slightly and said coldly:

"But it's different here. In the eyes of the forces behind everyone present, the Nine-Star Dou Zun is nothing but an ant."

Hun Ke'er glanced around. Yao Tianhuo had some connection to Fen Yan Valley. The ancestor of Fen Yan Valley was a Dou Sheng. Yao Chen was backed by the Yao Clan, Gu Xun'er was backed by the Gu Clan, Zi Yan was backed by the Taixu Dragon Clan, and Xiao Yan was backed by the Xiao Clan? Xiao Yixian was backed by the Tiangong Pavilion? Jiang Lin was backed by the Ling Clan, and she was backed by the Hun Clan.

Just ask, what else can Venerable Canglan do if he has no background as a Dou Sheng?

"Of course, the most important reason is that Venerable Canglan can sense the aura of her ancestor."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that her ancestor's soul sword is in Uncle Ke'er's body."

"."

That's fine.

Chapter 597 Don’t eat from my plate!

A few days later, when Xiao Yan and the others had almost mastered the Water Avoidance Technique, Jiang Lin also gave everyone a small blue bead.

"The water pressure outside is very strong. This is a water-repellent bead. Used together with the water-repellent technique, it can make you have no pressure to survive under the deep sea." Jiang Lin did not do nothing these days. Instead, he used materials from the mermaid tribe to refine several special mysterious weapons, water-repellent beads, for everyone.

The principle of the Water-Repellent Beads is very simple. It is to be used together with the Water-Repellent Technique to share the pressure from the deep sea along with the fighting spirit, so that their activities under the deep sea will not be disturbed.

Jiang Lin hadn't practiced this technique before because he didn't need it. A single Water Repellent Technique, combined with the Water Crystal Core within his body, allowed him to survive the deep sea without discomfort. However, Xiao Yan and the others couldn't do that because they lacked Water-based Dou Qi. Therefore, practicing the Water Repellent Technique took them a long time. Furthermore, simply practicing the Water Repellent Technique could only prevent them from being crushed or drowned by the seawater, but it couldn't prevent them from moving freely.

At this time, the appearance of the Water-Repellent Pearl just solved this problem. Because for Xiao Yan and the others, the Water-Repellent Pearl was actually a temporary water-type Dou Qi converter, allowing them to temporarily absorb water-type Dou Qi from the outside world, and then use the water-type Dou Qi to maintain the Water-Repellent Technique, thereby reducing the pressure on the body.

"You've got quite a few treasures on you." Zi Yan took the Water-Repellent Pearl from Jiang Lin's hand, curiously toying with it for a moment before swallowing it. Then, she attempted to activate the Water-Repellent Art to establish an energy connection with it. Of course, this was only Zi Yan's method; others couldn't imitate it. Xiao Yan and the others placed the Water-Repellent Pearl in their abdomens, using it as an external energy core to maintain the Water-Repellent Art.

"It's just a tool made according to local conditions." Jiang Lin shook his head and didn't care. He made a water-repellent bead for everyone except the soul body.

"A sixth-rank profound weapon? Not bad." Hun Ke'er carefully looked at the small blue bead in her hand, a hint of admiration flashed in her gray eyes, and then she put it into her sleeve without using it.

"Is this little thing a sixth-rank profound weapon?" Xiao Yan said in disbelief.

It's not like he hasn't seen sixth-order mystical weapons before, but in his imagination, they should be some very powerful things.

"The rating of a profound weapon isn't based on size, but on its upper limit of energy output." Hun Ke'er thought for a moment before explaining, "This water-repellent bead is crafted from a sixth-rank water-type magic core. Inside..." Hun Ke'er took out her own water-repellent bead again, looking at the brilliant runes within, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Did you really carve that in with light?"

"I tried it, but it didn't work very well. If I could have some strange light, I feel like I should be able to come up with a special method of photolithography refining." Jiang Lin knew what Hun Ke'er was asking, because Hun Ke'er had seen him refining the water-repellent beads.

At that time, Jiang Lin just had a sudden idea and tried photolithography, but found that the effect was not very ideal, so he only completed part of the runes. However, for a tool-type mysterious weapon like the Water-Repellent Beads, it was enough.

"Photolithography?" Xiao Yan was stunned when he heard that. No, buddy, are we still from the same world?

"Strange light? You'll just have to figure it out." Hun Ke'er couldn't help but shake her head and said, "As far as records go, there haven't been any rumors of strange light in the Dou Qi plane."

"Theoretically, it should exist." Jiang Lin refuted Hun Ke'er, a rare rebuttal, and continued, "Dark Dou Qi has appeared, so light Dou Qi, in theory, exists."

"Theory is theory, reality is reality." Hun Ke'er shook her head. Within the weapon refiner system, the "Extreme Darkness" was also known as "Ultimate Darkness" or "Ultimate Darkness." Hun Ke'er had heard legends about this kind of thing from the Soul Artisan, and knew that the Soul Artisan was also preparing to collect and search for it. Hun Ke'er thought Jiang Lin might be lucky enough to obtain the "Extreme Darkness," but as for the "Extreme Light," it wasn't that Hun Ke'er didn't believe Jiang Lin, but the Continent had never recorded the "Extreme Light."

"I think it's just a matter of observation angles." Jiang Lin would listen to Hun Ke'er on some matters, but in some areas, Jiang Lin felt that Hun Ke'er might not have a say any more than he did. "Since the theory exists, then we should use practice to prove that the strange light exists."

Jiang Lin always believed that strange lights existed in this world. Whether it was reasonable or not, strange lights must exist. Because this was the end of Jiang Lin's journey. If the world truly did not have strange lights, then Jiang Lin would only be able to stop at Dou Sheng, without the potential for further breakthroughs. Therefore, strange lights must exist. Even if they didn't exist, Jiang Lin would eventually find a way to create one.

Jiang Lin had even made plans to sacrifice himself to become a strange light, and then become the emperor in the second generation.

However, although Jiang Lin has made preparations for the worst, it must be said that Jiang Lin's intuition has always been very accurate.

In theory, strange light does exist in the Dou Qi plane, but due to different observation angles, the strange light cannot be observed. As a result, even if light Dou Qi appears on humans, humans cannot observe it and will automatically "ignore" the light Dou Qi and cultivate other second Dou Qi.

When it comes to observation, the most gifted spirits in the Dou Qi plane are undoubtedly the strongest. Jiang Lin didn't know at this moment that the strange light, which Hun Ke'er disapproved of, had already begun to gain initial recognition within the spirits, and would eventually become the ultimate gift, silently waiting for Jiang Lin to unlock it at the other end of the long river of time.

So, sometimes, good and evil are more of a narrative stance.

Whichever side you stand on, your understanding of good and evil will be different from that of the other side.

At least, when you know that the blood relatives you hate choose to sacrifice themselves and gather the strength of the entire clan to support you, I wonder what you will think in your heart?

The debate between Jiang Lin and Hun Keer about the strange light did not last long, because in the final analysis, it was necessary to use specific data to speak, so there was no point in saying more now.

After everyone got used to the water-repellent beads, Hun Keer led everyone out of the space altar. After adapting to the deep-sea environment outside, they appeared in the Mermaid Temple.

The King of the Mermaids, the Nine-Star Dou Zun Cang Lan Zun, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Hun Ke'er and the others arrive, he didn't say anything, but led them into a palace inside the Mermaid Temple. "My dear envoys, the opening of the Ancient Sea Secret Realm is still some time away. This is the residence provided by the Mermaids for you."

Jiang Lin and the others took one look at the magnificent coral palace ahead, studded with pearls and gems, and were all amazed. Even Jiang Lin, who had been there once before, was quite curious about the deep-sea city, which was so different from the mainland environment.

And the last time he came, Jiang Lin didn't even have time to play before he was caught by Hun Ke'er on the spot, and then refined in an instant. No, he was brought back to the Douqi Continent in an instant.

"If you have any needs, you can always tell the mermaid attendants around you. If my tribe needs anything, we will definitely send them to you as envoys." Venerable Canglan said humbly.

"The meals have been prepared for you in the palace. You envoys can eat at any time."

Hearing about food, everyone was a little tempted. Ever since they'd grown so close to Jiang Lin, they hadn't had a proper meal in a long time. Why? Because they usually spent their days in a fasting retreat, eating only the expensive gift packs.

Under such circumstances, Gu Xun'er ate all kinds of elixirs all day long, Xiao Yixian even ate poisons and poisonous herbs, Zi Yan and Xiao Lan were similar, and as for Xiao Yan, he was even more powerful. He drank magma for two months in the underground magma world.

As for Jiang Lin... He felt like he'd almost forgotten what eating was. Ever since his spiritual body reached maturity, Jiang Lin had practically evolved from a flesh-and-blood life form into an energy life form. Normal blood food, in his eyes, wasn't as energy-rich as the energy provided by certain spirit stones. Most of the time, he simply activated the Dou Qi Furnace and let 'God feed him.'

"Please follow me, my envoys." Seeing that everyone was interested in the food provided by the mermaids, Venerable Canglan felt inexplicably relieved, and then took the initiative to lead everyone to the restaurant in front.

For Venerable Canglan, the pressure she felt was terrifying, because she knew that if she could not serve the younger ancestors who were under the control of her ancestor well, the future of the mermaid race might become even more bleak.

Now that she saw these people were interested in food, Venerable Canglan felt relieved. At least, their mermaid tribe could now cater to their tastes, right?

Soon, everyone arrived at a bright and transparent crystal palace. Inside the palace was a huge round table, on which were placed hundreds of exotic flowers and plants, as well as various spiritual stones and pearls.

"This is the specialty food of the mermaids, and it is also a unique food of the ancient sea world." Venerable Canglan explained to everyone the various foods on it that seemed 'unpredictable'.

"I never thought I'd be able to experience such a wonder in my lifetime." Xiao Yan swallowed a pearl-like 'Bright Moon Water Jade' and found it melted instantly. Without any need for refinement, it transformed into pure water energy flowing through his body. Xiao Yan couldn't help but shiver from the cold. But soon, as the two different fires within him began to rise, the chill within him melted away like spring snow. The originally icy water energy was assimilated by the different fires, transforming into pure energy that Xiao Yan could absorb.

Although there was some energy loss, the ability to convert it instantly made Xiao Yan realize that this was definitely a good thing!

"Although they don't look as appetizing as the delicacies from the human world, in terms of value, these are definitely good things!" After Xiao Yan used the strange fire to digest the pure energy in his body, he immediately praised it.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately selected a few items they liked and began to consume them. Finally, their eyes lit up, realizing that Xiao Yan was right. These items might look primitive, but they were all precious cultivation resources! Furthermore, their energies were extremely gentle! Even though most of them were water-based foods, they didn't affect their digestion at all!
