Chapter 125

The method of gathering souls is a secret method of the soul that Lin Yuan learned from the eighth-grade alchemy inheritance. He had used it to gather souls and enlighten Xiao Cai.

In order to realize the idea of ​​controlling a variety of strange fires, Lin Yuan improved and expanded the Soul Gathering Secret Technique after studying and deducing the many alchemist inheritances and Soul Palace secrets he had obtained.

The seals on Lin Yuan's hands changed, and a powerful soul force gathered. Immediately, a soul light shot out from between his eyebrows, directly hitting the center of the forehead of the dragon-shaped fire spirit of Hai Xinyan, and turned into a silver soul mark on his forehead.

Then, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, bit his tongue lightly, and a drop of his own blood essence spat out from his mouth, shooting straight towards the silver soul mark.

The soul imprint merged with Lin Yuan's life essence and blood, turning into a soul seed that exuded bursts of spiritual energy and emitted a faint blood-red glow.

At the same time, Lin Yuan's soul clone transformed into pure and spiritual soul energy, flowing towards the Sea Heart Flame Spirit like a trickle.

"Melting blood and soul, forging spiritual light."

A soft humming sounded, and these soul energies slowly flowed around the Sea Heart Flame Spirit, nourishing it and guiding it to merge with the soul seed of the same origin.

"It's not enough." Thinking of this, Lin Yuan changed the seal on his hand, and the Tianxin Soul Technique was activated. In the void, streams of spiritual energy gathered towards the soul seed.

As time went by, nourished by the pure and spiritual soul power and aura, the soul seed gradually merged with the fire spirit of the Sea Heart Flame.

Half a day later, when the last trace of soul seed was completely integrated into the fire spirit, a ray of divine light suddenly burst out from the eyes of the sea heart flame's dragon-shaped fire spirit. Immediately, the spiritual energy in the eyes of the heart flame's dragon-shaped fire spirit flourished, and the eyes gradually became clear and smart, as if it had suddenly gained extremely high wisdom.

Lin Yuan's mind moved, and he communicated with the new fire spirit. Suddenly, the sea heart flame turned into a blue flame dragon, leaped up from the green lotus seat, and flew and circled in the medicine refining hall.

A few minutes later, the blue fire dragon stopped in the air in front of Lin Yuan. The dragon's eyes met Lin Yuan's, and there was a very similar light in their eyes.

"The idea of ​​controlling the fire spirit and the fire without intelligence by fusing the split soul with the fire spirit of the alien fire, and then using my own intelligence to dominate the fire spirit, has been completed."

The plan was successfully completed, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"However, handling mature alien fire is indeed much more difficult than dealing with the Fallen Heart Flame. If it weren't for the great improvement in soul power and soul research over the past year, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so smooth this time."

"The next step is to forge a split soul, and then use the split soul to carry the strange fire."

While thinking, Lin Yuan took out a bottle of soul-recovering liquid from his ring and drank it. Then, he sat cross-legged and practiced his Heavenly Heart Soul Technique to gather spiritual energy and recover his lost soul power.

Two days later, in the alchemy hall.

"Bang!" A muffled sound echoed, and Lin Yuan's soul clone dissipated with the explosion of blue flames. The fire waves spread around like a surging tide until they hit the space barrier set up by Queen Medusa, causing circles of space ripples.

A few minutes later, the blue fire tide dissipated, and a wisp of blue flame turned into a dragon shape, soared into the sky, and fell on the green lotus in the hall again, burning quietly.

In front of the Azure Lotus Seat, Lin Yuan dispersed the Azure Fire that protected his body. He looked at the strange fire burning on the Azure Lotus Seat and frowned slightly, "Is it both successful and unsuccessful?"

Lin Yuan’s last step can be said to be a success, or a failure.

The success was that the clone could indeed carry the strange fire, and now Lin Yuan could indeed control two kinds of strange fire at the same time. The failure was that when the strange fire exploded with too much power, the current soul clone could not withstand it, resulting in the situation just now.

"I was too optimistic before. It is not that easy to carry the strange fire with a split soul."

"With the help of the Sea Heart Flame's fire spirit, it can be done by using the soul clone to carry the Sea Heart Flame. But the strange fire is a destructive force after all. In order for it to exert enough power, the strength of the soul clone must be high enough."

"Perhaps, I can try to refine the Sea Heart Flame again. It should be able to improve its compatibility with the soul. Do I need to replace the Origin Fire?" Lin Yuan pondered.

At this moment, the space shook slightly, and Queen Medusa's enchanting figure instantly fell beside Lin Yuan.

Although Lin Yuan had promised, she, who had had deep contact with strange fire, always felt that playing with multiple kinds of strange fire was extremely dangerous. So, after she sensed that her space barrier was hit by a powerful energy, she quickly rushed over.

Sensing that Lin Yuan's aura was still strong, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are things not going well?" Queen Medusa asked, looking at Lin Yuan, whose face looked a bit tired and distressed.

"Hmm! There are some problems with the last step." Lin Yuan replied. Then, he took Queen Medusa into his arms, buried his head in her jade neck, smelled the fragrant scent, sorted out his thoughts, and thought of a solution to the problem.

"Now it seems that it is not easy to forge a soul that can carry a mature strange fire like the Sea Heart Flame."

"If my soul power breaks through the spiritual realm, with the cooperation of the Sea Heart Flame Spirit, I should be able to achieve perfect control. However, the spiritual realm is not so easy to break through. According to the current progress, it may take about two years to break through the spiritual realm."

"It seems that in order to significantly strengthen the soul at this stage, we need to learn from the Soul Palace's methods such as raising evil spirits."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh. The Soul Palace really didn't care about human affairs, but their methods were indeed extremely sophisticated, especially those related to the soul.

"After all, the few soul masters we captured before were small figures in the Soul Palace, and they only know limited things. It seems that we need to find an opportunity to capture a big guy at the guardian level."

After a while, Lin Yuan sorted out his thoughts and had a plan for what to do next. His nerves, which had been tense for the past two days, also relaxed. So, he let go of Queen Medusa and stroked her delicate body with his fingers. The wonderful touch made him linger a little, and his eyes became more passionate.

He can never go back to the past.

Noticing Lin Yuan's change, Queen Medusa said calmly, "Have you figured out a solution?"

"Well, I've figured out a way." Lin Yuan chuckled, then gently held her face and said, "I may need your assistance later, Queen."

"Oh?" Queen Medusa smiled seductively and pulled Lin Yuan by the collar, her voice carrying a hint of teasing: "Do you need my help? Sure. But, little man, I'm going to collect my payment in advance."

"So, my Queen, what kind of reward do you want?" Lin Yuan asked playfully.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer." Queen Medusa rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan chuckled. It seemed that he was not the only one who knew the essence of the food.

As the two talked, the colorful veil slowly fell down.

Soon, under the swaying blue flames, a touch of bright spring colors bloomed in this somewhat dilapidated hall.

The blue sea flame burned fiercely, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks could be heard. After a long time, the hall returned to peace.

Queen Medusa slowly stood up and lazily tidied her appearance. A sense of charm and grace emanated from the depths of her soul, which made Lin Yuan a little jealous.

As she sorted out her things, she asked calmly, "What are your plans for Qinglin to receive the inheritance? When do you plan to do it?"

Lin Yuan, who had already sorted out everything, thought for a moment and said calmly, "Let's wait a month. Once that matter is settled, let Qing'er start to accept the inheritance of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils. After all, once the inheritance is activated, no one knows how long it will take. And during this month, I need Qing'er's help."

The Green Snake Three Flower Pupil inheritance collected by the Snake People is not a scroll or jade slip inheritance, but an extremely high-level inheritance crystal. The amount of knowledge in this kind of inheritance is extremely huge, and it takes a long time. From what Lin Yuan learned from Medusa, Lin Yuan speculated that this inheritance should be a very large one.

As he spoke, he stood beside Queen Medusa and tied her hair while expressing his thoughts.

"The matter of the Xiao family's ancient jade?" Queen Medusa couldn't help but sighed. "I still find it hard to believe. A small family of great Dou masters in the Jiama Empire actually has such an amazing origin. Is it the family of the former Dou Emperor?"

That’s right, Lin Yuan told her many things about the Yunlan Sect, the Xiao Family, the Soul Palace, the Imperial Clan, and the Ancient Jade.

When Lin Yuan told Queen Medusa these things, even though she had seen a lot of ups and downs, she couldn't help but be shocked.

Looking at the hair accessories he had tied for Medusa, Lin Yuan nodded with a satisfied expression on his face and sighed, "This is the impermanence of the world. After all, time has the power to change everything. Just like what the young man who made the three-year agreement said, 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west.'"

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa looked at Lin Yuan with a strange look.

Immediately, she smiled, and her tone was a little more playful: "Little man, you speak in an old-fashioned way. I remember that you and that boy were the same age."

"That's right?" Lin Yuan patted his forehead, but there was a hint of pride in his voice. "Although we are the same age, our experiences are different. He should still be a teenager, but I am already a real man. Thank you, my queen."

Medusa rolled her eyes at him when she heard that.

But soon, her expression turned serious. She stared at Lin Yuan's deep eyes, and her voice revealed a hint of solemnity: "But do you really want to get involved in this kind of thing? If what you said is true, then in this kind of thing, if you take a wrong step, you will be doomed forever."

"Of course, since I have the ambition to reach the top, I cannot let go of the ancient jade of the Xiao family easily." Lin Yuan's tone also became more serious.

The relationship between the two has developed to the point where Lin Yuan is very frank with Queen Medusa. In addition to the biggest secret in his heart, he is willing to share many secrets with her.

Yes, he trusted her greatly.

And the Queen Medusa who has someone in her heart is indeed worthy of this trust. Once the queen of the snake people truly falls in love with someone, she will be wholeheartedly loyal to that person until death. This loyalty is inherited in the blood of the queen of the snake people, Medusa.

Looking at Lin Yuan's calm and determined eyes, Queen Medusa also understood that there was no possibility of changing the situation. So, she said softly: "In this case, little man, if you need my help in your next plan, just let me know."

"Thank you, my queen."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan felt a warm current in his heart. He understood that Queen Medusa's words represented her unconditional support and trust.

"By the way, Queen, this is for you." As he spoke, Lin Yuan handed a storage ring to Queen Medusa.

"Hmm? Is this... a fighting skill?" Queen Medusa took the ring and explored it a little. She found that it was filled with a large number of fighting skills, even some earth-level fighting skills.

"That's right." Lin Yuan nodded and said calmly: "These are the fighting skills I have collected over the years. The queen can choose to practice according to her own needs to make up for her current shortcomings. As for me, I recommend this volume of earth-level body fighting skills."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan took out a purple scroll from his ring and handed it to Queen Medusa.

"From the last battle between you and me, it seems that you, Queen, are already strong enough in other aspects besides your physical skills. Therefore, this volume of fighting skills should be very helpful to you."

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa took the scroll and saw four beautiful small characters - Exquisite Flying Steps.

Linglong Feibu, a ground-level fighting skill, is a fighting skill that combines speed, flexibility and spatial movement. This fighting skill is extremely powerful, but it requires extremely high physical strength and flexibility.

It was obtained by Lin Yuan from the Blade-killing Shadow Sect before he left the Black Horn Region. However, its leader Xue You did not master this fighting skill, presumably because his physique was not up to the requirements. After all, human body refining is extremely resource-intensive. When Lin Yuan was practicing the Hundred Beasts Refining Soul Technique, the consumption was terrifying, the blood essence of the ancient dragon plus the blood essence of hundreds of fifth- and sixth-level monsters, as well as a lot of fifth-grade elixirs. If he was not a high-level alchemist and was also extremely good at fighting, it would be difficult for him to succeed in practicing.

"Little man, aren't you afraid that I will become stronger and it will become increasingly difficult for you to defeat me?" Queen Medusa tossed the scroll playfully.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan waved his hand and chuckled, "Then hurry up and become stronger, my queen sister! In fact, I have long wanted to have a taste of being a gigolo."

While joking, the two exchanged various information and intelligence.

Queen Medusa informed Lin Yuan of the main matters of the Snake People. After all, he was still the fifth elder of the Snake People.

From her words, Lin Yuan learned that before he returned, the Snake People had already completed the negotiations in Mulan Valley and started to migrate. At present, half of the Snake People have migrated to the Mulan Empire, and the four elders are also in charge there.

"So that's why. No wonder I found there were a lot fewer people when I returned to this city this time." Lin Yuan suddenly realized.

"According to what you said, there are undercurrents in the Gama Empire. It seems that I should arrange for my people to speed up the migration process." Queen Medusa murmured.

"That's fine. The Gama Empire is not a good place."

Afterwards, Lin Yuan introduced the relevant matters of the Seven Star Organization to Queen Medusa and handed her a token.

Queen Medusa took the token and looked at the words "Tianquan" engraved on it with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"Qixing, the Lord of Tianquan? Not bad, I like this title too. A resource integration organization built around Qinglin's Skynet is indeed a good idea, very much like your style, I'll join."

As the queen who had ruled the Snake Empire for decades, Queen Medusa easily understood Lin Yuan's thoughts from his explanation.

This is an organization with great potential. If used properly, it can aggregate resources and enhance strength at a very fast speed.

"What are you going to do next?" Medusa asked after putting the token back into the ring.

Lin Yuan smiled lightly and looked in the direction of the Holy City of Gama.

"Make the elixir, and then settle the affairs of the Gama Empire. My old friends must have been waiting for me for a long time."
