Chapter 123

Outside the hall, the space in mid-air was slightly shaking, and the figure of Queen Medusa appeared in the sky.

Her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings, and then her jade hands suddenly formed a series of complicated seals, and her expression gradually became solemn.

As Medusa's hand seals danced out afterimages, there was suddenly some strange movement in the space of several hundred meters around the alchemy hall. After a while, this piece of space became distorted.

"Space blockade!"

As the shout came, Queen Medusa's handprints suddenly changed, the surrounding space suddenly condensed, and then a strange wave quickly spread out, finally covering the entire alchemy hall.

After doing all this, she looked down. The alchemy hall was still standing, but Lin Yuan's breath could no longer be felt, and the breath inside was completely isolated.

"The first layer is sealed. However, the little man is really cautious. What on earth does he want to do that requires me to set up a few barriers to isolate the aura?"

Thinking of Lin Yuan’s explanation, Queen Medusa felt somewhat confused, but did not stop her actions.

"Forget it. There's no point in thinking too much. Let's just continue. We'll know the answer if we just ask him." Queen Medusa rested for a while and prepared to start setting the second seal.

In the alchemy hall, Lin Yuan continued to advance his practice and research while waiting for Queen Medusa to set up a space barrier and block the aura of this place.

He made a few seals and four shadow clones separated from his body.

Afterwards, several clones began to perform their respective duties and carry out study and research work according to Lin Yuan's plan.

The first clone read through the information, thinking about and perfecting the plan to deal with the soul problems of Xiao Cai and Queen Medusa.

Xiao Cai’s problem is also Medusa’s problem, but the severity of the two problems is different. After all, both of them were split from one individual.

The reason why Queen Medusa has not shown any abnormality so far is because she has inherited most of the power, but the hidden dangers always exist. If they are not dealt with, they may cause obstacles at a critical moment in the future, which will not be worth the loss.

Therefore, Lin Yuan planned to solve the problems of the two at once.

At the same time, Lin Yuan knew that the soul was extremely important in the later stages of cultivation. Therefore, he planned to lay a foundation for the two of them to cultivate in this area while solving the problem this time.

The second clone continued to study the numerous alchemy inheritances he had obtained.

Lin Yuan gained a lot from Han Feng. Not only did he get numerous pill recipes, but also a lot of alchemist inheritance collected by Yao Lao.

Even the part of the alchemist inheritance that Yao Lao passed on to Han Feng, Lin Yuan got it by using the Douqi Continent version of the "Great Memory Recovery Technique" on Han Feng. Unfortunately, some skills like "Spirit Ascension" were not inherited by Han Feng, so Lin Yuan did not get them either.

In the past two months, Lin Yuan has been eagerly absorbing the knowledge from these inheritances, constantly supplementing his own insights and enriching his own foundation.

Therefore, although Lin Yuan did not actually practice alchemy, he could feel that his alchemy skills were improving rapidly.

The third clone was using all his strength to operate the improved 'Tian Xin Hun Jue' to gather spiritual energy.

The power of his soul broke through the late seventh level, and Lin Yuan was already within visible distance of the spiritual realm.

As for the 'Heavenly Heart Soul Art', after several months of practice, Lin Yuan had already mastered it. Moreover, after careful research, combined with the inspiration he gained from the many medicine refining inheritances, Lin Yuan finally deduced and completed a part of the 'Heavenly Heart Soul Art', which made him have a significant improvement in absorbing spiritual energy.

According to Lin Yuan's estimation, he has a chance to elevate his soul to the peak of the seventh level within one or two years and look into the spiritual realm.

The fourth clone studied and practiced the soul secrets obtained from the soul envoys of the Soul Palace.

This clone was obviously different from the other clones, and the proportion of soul power contained in it was much greater. When Lin Yuan turned his gaze to it, he saw that it formed several mysterious seals with its hands, and a black mist diffused from its body, which soon completely covered its figure.

"Hehehe, no matter how glorious and powerful you were in your life, as long as you become a soul body, you will be the hunting target of my Soul Palace."

A sinister laugh came from the black fog, and a strange and cold aura of the Dou Wang level was emanating, and the cold atmosphere spread throughout the entire alchemy hall.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan nodded with a look of great satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, that's the laugh, that's the line. This authentic smell, this weird atmosphere, this evil look, no matter how you look at it, he is a genuine Soul Palace Soul Envoy."

“Hehehe, this way, we have one more useful vest. There are some things that Canaan’s genius Lin Yuan is not suitable for doing, but Soul Palace Soul Envoys can do it without any problem.”

Afterwards, Lin Yuan took out a Douhuang-level corpse from a storage ring and threw it on the ground.

"Soul lock."

A black chain shot out from the black fog in tacit agreement and instantly pierced into the corpse. After the black chain passed through the body, it pulled back without causing any damage to the corpse. Instead, it pulled a soul out of the corpse - it was Fan Lao's soul.

"Very good, this method is also very authentic." Lin Yuan said with satisfaction.

When Fan Lao's soul was pulled out and saw the familiar black fog, it shouted angrily: "Why is it me again? How many times has this happened? I'm already dead and you won't let me rest in peace? Why are you torturing me like this?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled calmly and said, "Master Fan, you have worked hard during this period. Don't worry, you will be able to rest in peace soon."

As he spoke, a powerful attraction came from the black fog, and at the same time, the chains exerted force, pulling Fan Lao's soul into the black fog with a shrill cry, and he became motionless.

"The effect of this soul bag is also very good. After the Douhuang's soul is stored in it, it can't cause any trouble at all. It is worthy of being a product of the Soul Palace. It is indeed a fine product."

"Next, we can continue to practice and comprehend other Soul Palace secrets. The corpses and souls we harvested when we destroyed those sects in the Black Horn Region can also be used."

"Unfortunately, the Soul Envoy Association's means are limited after all. It seems that we have to find an opportunity to capture a few guardians or higher-level personnel for research."

The progress of the four clones was progressing smoothly. Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, changed the seal in his hand again, and another shadow clone separated from the body.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, sensing it carefully, then smiled with satisfaction, "As I expected, after the soul power broke through the late seventh level, not only has the number of clones increased significantly, but the connection between the main soul and the clones has also been strengthened a lot."

"In this case, it's time to try out the previous idea, real-time communication between the original body and the clone."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's eyes showed a little more anticipation.

At present, in order to obtain the knowledge and information obtained by his soul clone, Lin Yuan needs to take it back into his body and complete the integration of information after a round of fusion. However, Lin Yuan is not satisfied with this state, and he has higher expectations in his heart. He hopes to achieve real-time communication between the main body and the clone, and to quickly exchange information in real time after the clone leaves the body.

In this way, the clone can become an extension of one's own senses, able to adjust in real time and perform a wider range of tactical actions even at a long distance.

This idea came to Lin Yuan when he was helping Qing Lin design the Sky Network. With the improvement of his soul power and soul research attainments, many of his previous ideas have become feasible.

He decided to use the special connection of soul power to build a minimalist version of the 'small sky network' between himself and his clone.

With Qing Lin's help, Lin Yuan analyzed part of the information transmission process between the Green Snake Three Flower Pupil host and its followers. Although he only analyzed a little bit of the fur, it was enough for the minimalist "small sky network" that Lin Yuan envisioned.

During this period, with the help of Qing Lin, he incorporated the techniques of transmitting information through illusion and using soul imprints when making scrolls, and completed a soul communication secret technique that could transmit a large amount of information in an instant - the Soul Bridge.

However, before this, because the clone had left the body, the connection between the main soul and the clone was relatively weak and could not support the operation of this secret technique.

Now, when Lin Yuan's soul power broke through the late seventh level, the connection between the main soul and the split soul became much stronger with the increase of Lin Yuan's soul power, and it was enough to bear the medium and short-distance soul communication secret technique.

"Purifying Mind Technique: Emptiness and Clarity." After Lin Yuan calmed down, his mind moved and he entered a state of emptiness and clarity.

In the state of emptiness and clarity, Lin Yuan used all his computing power to precisely mobilize his soul power, trying to build a stable soul bridge between his clone and his original body.

After hundreds of attempts and failures, Lin Yuan finally felt a subtle change. At a certain moment, he seemed to be able to "see" the environment where the clone was in, and even "hear" the sounds heard by the clone, as if his original consciousness was projected onto the clone.

A huge amount of information is transmitted between the soul of the original body and the soul of the clone, and the large amount of information contained in the clone is received by the original body.

At this moment, Lin Yuan knew that the first step of his plan had been realized. In a state of emptiness and clarity, Lin Yuan felt neither sad nor happy, and engraved all his insights into his mind.

"It worked!" After exiting the state of emptiness and clarity, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, but a bit of joy appeared on his face. "In this way, my idea has been initially successful."

"However, this is just the beginning. Although the basic functions have been realized as planned, there are still many areas that need to be improved." He said to himself, "The information transmission efficiency is not high enough and needs to be improved; this soul channel is not stable enough and needs to be strengthened; the communication distance is not far enough and needs to be optimized."

"But the road is now open, and the next step is to continue to optimize it. Take your time, I have enough patience to perfect it all."

"But before that." Lin Yuan flipped his hand, and a black scroll appeared in his hand. His eyes narrowed slightly, "The Fragments of the Burning Decision."

In the air outside the hall, Medusa had already set up a five-layer space barrier according to Lin Yuan's instructions.

She let out a long sigh, moved her body, and fell towards the hall below. Just when her body reached a certain limit, the space twisted slightly, and then Medusa's figure slowly merged into it and disappeared without a trace.

In front of the hall, Medusa wiped the sweat from her forehead with her slender hands. Even with her current strength, it would still be a great consumption to set up five layers of space barriers in a row.

After a few adjustments, she walked into the hall.

After entering the hall, Queen Medusa glanced at the five 'Lin Yuan' clones who were doing their respective jobs, and walked towards Lin Yuan's real body who was holding the black scroll.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's eyes were a little vague, as if he was thinking about something and seemed a little absent-minded.

"What are you thinking about?" A faint voice sounded in his ears.

Hearing Queen Medusa's words, Lin Yuan came back to his senses, raised the scroll in his hand, and said with a smile: "Think about this scroll of skills."

"Martial arts? This volume of martial arts doesn't look like an advanced one. Is there anything special about it?" There was some doubt in Medusa's eyes.

Lin Yuan raised the volume of the technique in his hand and said in a deep voice: "This technique is not simple. It is the most magical technique I have ever encountered. Although it is currently the lowest level technique, it is a technique that can devour the strange fire and evolve."

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

The Burning Decree created the unique skills of several Dou Emperors.

During this period, the more Lin Yuan studied, the more he felt the terrifying potential of this technique, and he couldn't help but feel deep admiration for the creator of the Burning Decree.

As a young creator of the technique, Lin Yuan's unique experience and vision allowed him to vaguely sense the creator of the Burning Decree's intention for this technique - this is a technique engraved with the principles of heaven and earth.

In Lin Yuan's view, the essence of the Burning Technique is to plant a Tao seed, and then continuously absorb the strange fire created by the principles of heaven and earth, and engrave the principles of heaven and earth contained in the strange fire into this technique. Using the principles of heaven and earth as nutrients, it promotes the Tao seed to take root and sprout, allowing the technique to evolve to its current optimal state.

At the same time, the enormous energy in the strange fire is used to transform the practitioner's physique, so that the practitioner and the principles of heaven and earth currently engraved in the exercises can reach the most compatible level.

Therefore, after practicing this technique and consuming the strange fire, the practitioners of the Burning Decree are no longer ordinary people, but have a special physique that can be evolved and is called the "Burning Decree Body".

This kind of skill can indeed be called a powerful skill that can seize the fortune of heaven and earth.

"A technique that can evolve? That's really magical." Queen Medusa showed some surprise on her face, but she didn't take it too seriously. "I have already set up a five-layer space barrier outside according to what you said."

"Well, thank you!" Sensing that Queen Medusa's breath was a little tired, Lin Yuan pulled Queen Medusa over and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Queen!"

"Do we need to say this between you and me?" Queen Medusa said lightly.

"Haha, you're right. There's really no need for excessive politeness and pretentiousness between us." Lin Yuan chuckled.

"What are you going to do next?" Medusa asked. "You want me to set up so many space barriers to conceal the aura. I think what you are going to do is something extraordinary."

Lin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, since it is related to the strange fire, it is better to be cautious. I want to remove the strange fire in his body."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the unconscious Han Feng not far away, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Then, use the extracted strange fire as material to study this volume of the Burning Technique." Lin Yuan raised the scroll in his hand again.

"Do you need my help?" Medusa asked.

"Protect me," Lin Yuan said in a deep voice, "Although the Sea Heart Flame in his body has been refined, it is after all the fifteenth ranked Strange Fire, so we still need to be careful when handling it."
