Chapter 106: Mountains and Rivers Combined with Three Lights

"Forget it. There's no point in thinking too much. We'll know when the time comes." Lin Yuan shook his head, stopped worrying about it, and withdrew his gaze from the full moon.

He took a deep breath and sorted out his thoughts. His eyes became deep again. "I have almost finished practicing my fighting skills. It's time to go back. The Great Elder should have prepared the materials for the Imperial Pill and the Sect Breaking Pill."

"Let's retrieve the clone first!"

Lin Yuan's mind moved, and the three tool man clones not far away also returned to his side, ready to collect them one by one and absorb their learning and research results during this period.

When Lin Yuan was practicing, he did not let his clones idle, and he was always using them to learn and research new things. One clone was studying the Mountain and River Seal and the Three Light Seal, one was studying alchemy and the inheritance of the eighth-grade alchemist, and one was studying and perfecting the Cloud Dragon Body Technique.

Lin Yuan's eyes shone, and he entered a state of emptiness and clarity, his eyes became extremely lofty. With the surge in soul power and the improvement of his soul power manipulation skills, his Soul Purification Technique also made great progress. In particular, the second style, 'Soul Purification Technique·Empty Clarity', not only has the computing power improved, but the duration has also increased a lot compared to before, and the amount of knowledge that can be digested at one time has also increased a lot. Now he can absorb the learning results of several days of his clone at one time.

In the state of emptiness and clarity, Lin Yuan first recovered the clone that had been studying the Mountain and River Seal and the Three Light Seal. As the clone merged with the original body, its research results were perfectly absorbed and digested by Lin Yuan.

After absorbing the knowledge of this clone, Lin Yuan exited the state of emptiness and clarity. Although he was a little tired, his eyes sparkled with excitement and an irrepressible smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. "Hehehe, hahahaha, I didn't expect that the difficulty that has troubled me for so long has actually been broken through!"

"After this round of improvements and adaptations, and with the help of the technique of using soul power to call upon fighting spirit, I can actually complete a combined move between the two seals. Now I can finally try to combine the Mountain and River Seal with the Sun Seal to form a combined move. The huge energy invested over such a long period of time has finally paid off."

Although the Three Lights Seal was an excellent fighting technique, for Lin Yuan, it had an obvious flaw - there was a lack of transition between conventional moves and ultimate moves.

Even for high-level earth-level fighting skills, the gap between the upper and lower limits of their power and difficulty is extremely huge.

Taking the Emperor Seal of the Ancient Clan as an example, each of the Emperor Seal's seals, such as the Mountain Opening Seal, the Sea Overturning Seal, the Earth Covering Seal, the Heaven Annihilating Seal, and the Ancient Emperor Seal, is a high-level earth-level fighting skill. However, the gap between the Mountain Opening Seal and the Ancient Emperor Seal is extremely huge, whether in terms of power, difficulty of cultivation, or requirements for cultivation.

The reason why the Emperor Seal is the top-level high-level fighting skill is not only that after it is cultivated to the extreme, the power of the five seals combined into one can be comparable to the power of the heavenly fighting skills, but also that it can be naturally connected and one seal is stronger than the other. Its transition is extremely smooth, and practitioners have suitable seals to practice and use at each stage of Dou Wang, Dou Huang, Dou Zong, and Dou Zun.

Unlike the Emperor Seal, the Sun Seal, Moon Seal, and Star Seal of the Three Light Seals have no essential difference in power, only in different scenarios. However, the power gap between these three seals and the ultimate killer move, the Sun, Moon, and Star Three Lights God-Destroying Seal, is extremely large, and the requirements and difficulty of releasing them are also far apart.

In terms of power, according to Lin Yuan's estimation, the power of the Sun Seal, Moon Seal, and Starry Sky Seal should be between the Mountain-Opening Seal and the Sea-Overturning Seal, and in some special environments, the power will be slightly improved. And the Sun, Moon, and Star Three Lights God-Exterminating Seal, which is the ultimate earth-level killing power, should be comparable to the Ancient Emperor Seal.

In terms of the threshold and difficulty of release, the Sun Seal, Moon Seal, and Star Seal can be barely used by a Nine-Star Dou King if he has a high-level earth-level technique. But for the Sun, Moon, and Star Three Lights God-Destroying Seal, Lin Yuan estimated that he would need to at least reach the Dou Zong level or even the high-level Dou Zong level to barely use it. If he wanted to master it perfectly, he would probably have to wait until he broke through the Dou Zun level.

In order to solve this problem, Lin Yuan has been studying how to superimpose the Mountain and River Seal with the Three Lights Seal since the Jia Ma Empire to form a more powerful combination. He constantly adjusts, improves, and perfects the Mountain and River Seal on the premise of ensuring the superposition characteristics of the Mountain and River Seal, hoping to perfectly combine it with the Three Lights Seal to unleash a stronger power.

The only one who could do this was Lin Yuan, a fighting genius who created the Mountain and River Seal himself, knew all its details very well, and could easily modify it. Moreover, according to Lin Yuan's speculation, as he deduced and improved the Mountain and River Seal, the more powerful the Mountain and River Seal would continue to increase the power of the combined moves.

After digesting the knowledge and insights in his mind, Lin Yuan couldn't wait to start trying.

With the help of powerful soul power, Lin Yuan divided the fighting spirit in his body into two, gathering them in his left and right hands respectively, and at the same time, he formed different seals with both hands at the same time.

"Mountains and rivers go to the left, and the sun goes to the right."

With a light shout, two small light seals slowly took shape on Lin Yuan's hands. Soon, the energy ripples between the two seals began to intertwine, producing a strange resonance, and the energy between the two became more and more compatible.

Lin Yuan carefully controlled the two seals to approach each other, so that their auras blended and the surrounding space began to vibrate violently. However, just when the process was about to succeed, there was a light "bang" sound, and the two seals suddenly became extremely unstable, and cracks began to spread on the seals.

"Have you reached your limit? Sure enough, it's not going so smoothly." Lin Yuan sighed softly, and then, with a thought, he slowly dispersed the double seals. The surrounding space also returned to normal.

But he quickly regained his fighting spirit. "Good things take time. Fortunately, all the difficulties have been overcome. Only some details need to be adjusted. I believe it won't be long before we succeed. Once we succeed, my combat power will surge again."

"Next, let's continue to recover the clone."

After some breathing exercises, Lin Yuan regained his composure and began to recover his clones one by one.

He first retrieved the clone who was researching alchemy and the inheritance of an eighth-grade alchemist. He was quite satisfied with the clone's research results.

"In this way, I will know all the details of refining Huangji Pill and Pozong Pill clearly."

"This way of using soul power is really ingenious. This inheritance of an eighth-grade alchemist is indeed extraordinary. As expected, anything produced by Yao Lao must be a top-notch product."

Then, Lin Yuan recalled the clone who was studying the body skills, and the results were only satisfactory.

"Sure enough, Yunlong's body skills have reached their current limit in terms of deduction. If we want to go further, we need to involve space. The advantage of this body fighting skill lies in its flexibility within a small space. Combined with my soul power and combat skills, I am confident that I can be as good as those who practice earth-level body skills in close combat."

"However, the speed of Yunlong's body skills is indeed slightly inferior to that of the Earth-level body skills that specialize in speed. Although flying fighting skills can make up for some of the shortcomings, we still need to find a better solution."

Lin Yuan touched his chin, thought for a moment, and made up his mind.

"It seems that it is time to go to the Black Horn Region to retrieve some things. We need to prepare some 'greeting gifts' first. The 'greeting gifts' that we made in the Monster Mountain Range have been used up. It is time to make a new batch."

Then, Lin Yuan took out a medicine cauldron that exuded an ominous aura and began to refine it. Soon after, a deadly aura began to spread with the medicine cauldron as the center.

Two days later, Lin Yuan returned to the inner courtyard.

After returning, Lin Yuan did not return to his own courtyard, but flew directly to the valley where Qing Lin was in seclusion. Qing Lin had sent him a message that she was about to break through to Dou Wang, and at this important moment, she hoped to have Lin Yuan as a witness. Lin Yuan walked into a quiet valley, deep in the valley, the cave where Qing Lin was in seclusion stood quietly. He looked at the cave, and the endless energy of heaven and earth around him was frantically gathering into it.

Lin Yuan stepped into the quiet valley. Deep in the valley, the cave where Qing Lin was in seclusion stood quietly. He stared at the cave and saw that the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was frantically gathering here and then constantly pouring into the cave.

"The Mysterious Canon of the Sky is indeed a rare and excellent martial art. It was a wise move to choose it in the first place." Lin Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stepped into the cave. After a while, Qing Lin's figure came into his sight.

At this time, Qing Lin sat with her eyes closed, forming seals with her hands, practicing the Mysterious Canon of the Sky. The energy of the surrounding heaven and earth continued to gather and swirl around her, forming a unique vortex-shaped energy field. Huge amounts of energy continued to be infused into her body, and a powerful aura was brewing.

Lin Yuan looked at the girl in front of him, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. After not seeing her for more than half a year, Qing Lin had matured a lot, and the childishness on her delicate face had gradually faded, replaced by an alluring charm.

Feeling Lin Yuan's arrival, Qing Lin's eyes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her charming and mysterious eyes. She looked at Lin Yuan deeply, as if she was absorbing some kind of strength. After a while, she closed her eyes again, and the aura on her body was like a spring compressed to the extreme, about to usher in an amazing rebound.

Suddenly, Qing Lin's aura, which had been suppressed to the limit, was released suddenly, and her aura began to rise rapidly, reaching the limit of Dou Ling in an instant. However, all this did not stop, her aura continued to rise, as if to break through all constraints.

"Boom——" An invisible sound rang out in the darkness, and the invisible boundary was broken. Qing Lin's Dou crystal seemed to sense something, and instantly turned into a pool of sticky liquid energy, which quickly flowed to every corner of her body, merging with her meridians, bones, and flesh. With the integration of these energies, Qing Lin's body underwent an amazing transformation, and a huge amount of Dou Qi gushed out from her flesh, blood, and meridians.

At a certain moment, a powerful aura that could not be matched by a Dou Ling burst out from Qing Lin and spread in all directions.

The King of Fighting has been established.

Qinglin opened her eyes, and subtle changes took place in her eyes. The three flower marks became deeper, as if containing endless mysteries.

Lin Yuan stood quietly by the side, with a little more relief in his eyes. He witnessed Qing Lin's transformation from a young, weak, bullied snake girl to a powerful Dou Wang in a very short time. At the same time, his eyes also revealed a bit of complexity. He witnessed Qing Lin surpass his former self in less than two years, the self who took the Life-Devouring Pill in order to obtain the qualification to enter the world.

Qing Lin felt the powerful Dou Qi surging in her body, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She had finally broken through the shackles of Dou Ling and became a Dou Wang, catching up with Lin Yuan's footsteps when they first met.

"Master, I have made a breakthrough!" Qing Lin shouted excitedly, and then she quickly stood up and ran towards Lin Yuan.

Looking at the girl trotting towards him, Lin Yuan smiled and nodded. He reached out his hand, gently stroked Qing Lin's head, and said with emotion: "Qing'er, you have grown up and become stronger."

After hearing this, Qing Lin's eyes turned red. She lowered her head and buried it in Lin Yuan's arms, hugging him tightly with both hands, and murmured in a low voice: "Master, thank you for meeting me, thank you for always being with me."

Lin Yuan gently hugged Qing Lin, feeling her growth and changes. He was very happy, but also a little disappointed. He knew that Qing Lin was no longer the little girl who needed his protection all the time. She had grown into a strong person who could stand on her own.

After more than ten minutes, Qing Lin left Lin Yuan's arms.

Lin Yuan's palm gently slid across Qing Lin's soft hair, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he chuckled: "Let's go, Queen Qing, let's go back and celebrate. By the way, I will teach you some flying skills and the use of soul power."

Qing Lin blushed slightly when she heard that, and said shyly, "Sir, that's just what the students in the inner courtyard said. Don't call me that."

"What does it matter, Queen Qing, this title sounds nice, haha!" Lin Yuan joked with a smile.

"Young Master~" Qinglin lowered her head shyly.

As the two of them walked towards the meeting place, Lin Yuan taught Qinglin some of the flying skills he had summarized. He also explained to her some of the techniques for using soul power that he had recently realized, in order to help Qinglin tap into the power of her Green Snake Three Flower Pupils.

After arriving home, Lin Yuan cooked to celebrate.

Afterwards, the two of them admired the moon in the yard and sighed. Their words intertwined in the night breeze, and their hearts grew closer in silence.

Two days later, in a top-notch alchemy room in the inner courtyard.

Lin Yuan sat upright on the cushion. In front of him, a huge fiery red medicine cauldron stood quietly.

Around him, a large number of medicinal herbs were neatly placed, each of which was carefully placed in a jade box. A strong medicinal fragrance permeated from these jade boxes, gathering into a strange and rich scent that filled the entire medicine refining room. These medicinal herbs were the medicinal herbs for refining the Huangji Pill and Pozong Pill that the Great Elder sent yesterday.

Lin Yuan looked at the huge amount of medicinal materials in front of him, and couldn't help but marvel at the richness of the Canaan Academy's medicinal material library. According to his estimation, these medicinal materials are enough to support him in refining ten Huangji Pills and six Pozong Pills. The requirements of the great elder were not harsh, and there was no time limit. In the end, five Huangji Pills and three Pozong Pills would be enough.

As for the refining of Douling Pill, the Great Elder has decided to hand it over to Elder Huo, who has just broken through to the sixth rank. After all, the growth of an alchemist is always accompanied by a large consumption of medicinal materials. Upon hearing the news that Elder Huo was promoted to the sixth rank alchemist, Lin Yuan was also sincerely happy for him.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan decided to refine the Huangji Pill first to warm up, and then refine the Pozong Pill. As a sixth-grade pill, Pozong Pill is the top-level pill among the sixth-grade pills, and it is much more difficult to refine than the Huangji Pill. In the warm-up stage, it is safer to choose a pill that is easier to refine.

Although his soul power has reached the seventh level, Lin Yuan knows that alchemy is an extremely profound and complex subject. Even if a seventh-level alchemist refines a sixth-level pill, there is no guarantee of a 100% success rate, but the success rate will be relatively high.

Although the medicinal herbs given by the Great Elder are abundant, each of them is extremely precious and must not be wasted. If they are wasted, even Lin Yuan will feel heartbroken. After all, he still has Zi Yan and Xiao Cai, two "big consumers of medicinal herbs" to support.

After settling his mind, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and used the "Purifying Soul Technique: Cutting Thoughts" to cut off all distracting thoughts one by one. Then, he flicked his finger, and a wisp of green flame leaped out from his fingertips, lightly rushed into the medicine cauldron, and instantly turned into a blazing fire and rose up. The scorching temperature quickly spread in the medicine refining room, and the temperature in the medicine cauldron gradually climbed to a constant state.

After the temperature inside the medicine cauldron reached a constant level, Lin Yuan waved his hand, and the green fighting spirit swept up the medicinal herbs and flew towards the fiery red medicine cauldron.

As this herb fell into the cauldron, Lin Yuan's long journey of refining medicine officially began.

　What do you think are the better names for the combined moves of Mountain and River Seal, Sun Seal, Moon Seal and Starry Sky Seal?
