Chapter 168: Xuanyuan Dan interrogates the guardian Wu

Yunlan Sect, Yunlan Treasure House.

Zi Yan looked at Lin Yuan with doubts in her eyes, and asked in confusion: "Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, why don't we just pack up all the good things here and take them away? Just like we did in the underground treasure house in the palace before."

At this time, Lin Yuan was holding a moon-white scroll taken from the shelf beside him. It was the scroll that recorded the Clouds and Mist Covering the Sun Formation.

"Haha!" Hearing Zi Yan's words, Lin Yuan laughed softly, "The leader of Yunlan Sect, Yunshan, has helped me a lot, and I promised him to take care of Yunlan Sect. So, let's not go too far on Yunlan Sect's side."

"Change the method and plunder through trade. Of course, it's a one-sided trade."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan put the scroll of the Clouds and Mists Covering the Sun Formation into his storage ring, then took out a copy of the alchemy notes from the ring and placed it where the Moonlight Scroll originally sat.

After leaving the imperial city, Lin Yuan and Zi Yan did not choose to return directly to the Mitel family, but came to the Yunlan Sect and started a new round of treasure hunting.

With the abilities of Lin Yuan and Zi Yan, the current Yunlan Sect was basically defenseless to them. With the help of Zi Yan's treasure hunting ability, the two of them easily found the Yunlan Treasure House and began to plunder it.

As usual, Lin Yuan took away everything that was useful to him, but this time he left some things as compensation.

These things include skills, elixirs, and fighting techniques, most of which are of little use to Lin Yuan but useful to others.

"So that's how it is. There's nothing we can do about it. What a pity..." Zi Yan said sullenly.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan pinched Zi Yan's smooth little face and chuckled, "You greedy little ghost, our harvest today is already big enough. At least before you and Xiao Cai break through to the seventh level, we don't have to worry about medicinal materials."

"Let's go. There's nothing I need here anymore. Let's go to the next place."

"The next one? But I don't sense any other treasure houses."

"We are not going to look for treasure, but to solve a hidden danger, a backup plan left by Yunshan, and this is the last one."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan pulled Zi Yan towards a cloud peak in the Yunlan Sect.

Not long after, on top of a cloud peak of the Yunlan Sect.

Lin Yuan looked at the crystal stone in his hand with a hint of amusement on his face. "A shadow stone? Yunshan, this guy, has learned from me so thoroughly."

Immediately, he exerted force with his hands and the stone turned into powder.

At this point, Lin Yuan intervened in eliminating the final clues of the Xiao family's ancient jade incident.

At night, in a secret room of the Mittel family.

Lin Yuan flicked his finger and the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron landed in front of him. He thought to himself, "I got a huge amount of medicinal materials today. There are quite a few pills that can be refined. I will refine two Xuanyuan Pills first, one for Qing'er and one for me."

Xuanyuan Pill, a sixth-grade high-level elixir, can increase the cultivation speed of Dou Wang and Dou Huang to several times the original speed within one month after taking the medicine.

Although this pill cannot directly improve the level of the person taking it, it is an extremely high-quality auxiliary pill and an advanced version of the Qingyuan Pill that Lin Yuan had taken before.

The most rare thing is that the Xuanyuan Pill can be used multiple times, without the restriction of taking only one Huangji Pill or Douling Pill in a lifetime.

It can be said that using Xuanyuan Dan to assist in cultivation has no other disadvantages except that it is expensive.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, recalling the steps of refining Xuanyuan Pill in his mind. The curling green flame danced lively on his fingertips, and as the flame danced, the temperature in the secret room began to rise rapidly.

After a moment, Lin Yuan flicked his fingers, and the green flame drew a twisted arc in the air and fell into the medicine cauldron, expanding and turning into a blazing green flame.

As a wisp of fighting spirit drew several medicinal herbs placed nearby into the Wanshou Ding, the refining of the Xuanyuan Pill officially began.

Wu Tan City, Xiao Family.

In the Xiao family meeting room, a middle-aged man bowed to Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, and said respectfully, "Third Young Master, the first group of people you designated for migration are ready and can leave at any time."

Xiao Yan nodded, looked at Xiao Zhan's confidants in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Let them set off tomorrow morning!"

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked reluctantly: "Third Young Master, are we really going to leave Wutan City? Over the years, the clan leader has worked hard to develop the Xiao family to its current level."

“Uncle Payne, I also grew up in Wutan City, and I can’t bear to leave this place. But this time, the Xiao family has to leave. The enemies of the Xiao family are not something I can contend with now.”

Looking at the other party's desolate back, Xiao Yan's eyes showed some helplessness. Payne's thoughts were also the thoughts of most people in the Xiao family.

However, it is a truth that the strong are respected everywhere. In the current Xiao family, Xiao Yan is the leader.

Especially after the news of Xiao Yan's defeat of Nalan Yanran and the news that Yan Xiao, the champion of the Alchemy Conference, was Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan immediately gained prestige in the Xiao family far exceeding that of Xiao Zhan, who had been the head of the Xiao family for decades.

With the blessing of this prestige, and with the loss of the clan leader and elders, Xiao Yan immediately became the absolute decision-maker of the Xiao family.

Therefore, although everyone in the Xiao family was reluctant, they still carried out Xiao Yan's relocation order seriously.

After the middle-aged man left, an old but solid hand patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so lenient, Xiao Yanzi. When you have the strength, you will be able to come back sooner or later."

Xiao Yan turned around and saw Yao Lao's solid figure. He said happily, "Teacher, are you recovered?"

"It's barely enough, but it's enough." Yao Lao nodded, looked at the location of Miter Auction House, and said lightly: "Oh my God... the people arranged by Lin Yuan have arrived, let's go over to confirm."

"is teacher!"

The next morning, a huge convoy set out from Wutan City. The Xiao family, once one of the three major families in Wutan City and now dominating Wutan City, began to migrate.

"call--"

With a long sigh of relief, Lin Yuan put the green and red pill in his hand into the jade bottle, "The second Xuanyuan Pill is done."

"With the Xuanyuan Pill to assist my cultivation, I can raise my cultivation to the bottleneck of six to seven stars in just one month. Qing'er should also be able to directly reach eight or even nine-star Dou Wang. Alchemy is truly magical!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel emotional.

The alchemy techniques of the Douqi Continent are extremely powerful. As long as there is sufficient financial resources, many problems can be solved through elixirs.

Injuries can be treated with elixirs, such as the Bone-Growing and Blood-Releasing Pill; cultivation can be improved with elixirs, such as the Huangji Pill; cultivation speed can be accelerated with elixirs, such as the Xuanyuan Pill; even cultivation talent can be improved with elixirs, such as the Yishi Pill.

The effect is powerful and comprehensive, which is why alchemy is the most popular among the many side jobs in the Douqi Continent.

Lin Yuan shook his head, retracted his scattered thoughts, took out a black box from the ring, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

"Next, let me dig into the secrets of the Soul Palace..."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's eyes shone, and his soul aura spread out and enveloped his body, completely blocking the inside and outside. Then, the Fallen Heart Flame was released from his body, turning into a tight invisible fire wall in the inner circle of the soul barrier.

After the preparations were completed, Lin Yuan opened the box. The moment the box was opened, an illusory soul rushed out and shot out of the door.

However, when he touched the invisible fire wall formed by Xin Yanzi's fire, a hissing sound suddenly broke out, and then a shrill scream was rang out.

"what--"

"Hehehe, Guardian Wu, why are you running so fast?"

As he spoke, Lin Yuan waved his hand lightly, and a heart fire separated from the invisible fire wall, flashed down, and turned into a circular fire shield that wrapped up the guardian Wu, and slowly fell not far in front of Lin Yuan.

In the fire cover, the guardian Wu carefully avoided the surrounding flames, not daring to let his soul touch even a little bit of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan showed a playful smile on his face: "Hehehe, you are in such a hurry to leave. It seems that you, Guardian Wu, have some misunderstandings about me and don't want to be my guest! In this case, we need to deepen our understanding..."

After saying this, in the horrified eyes of Guardian Wu, Lin Yuan waved his hand, and the invisible wall of fire suddenly shrank.

A scream far more shrill than the previous one echoed in the secret room.

The flames burned for about half a minute before they receded, leaving behind the weakened soul of the Guardian Wu.

However, even so, the guardian Wu still looked at Lin Yuan viciously.

"Who are you? What do you want? We Soul Palace guardians all have soul marks left in the palace. If you kill me, you will definitely be discovered. Then the Soul Palace law enforcers will never let you go!"

Lin Yuan held his cheek with his hand and said playfully, "But didn't you kill Guardian Sun yourself? And no one came."

"Uh--"

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Wu Guardian was speechless and said quickly: "How can that guy compare with me? I am responsible for an important mission, a mission that even the top leaders take very seriously."

“I see.” Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, I didn’t intend to kill you.”

Upon hearing this, Dharma Protector Wu was immediately delighted.

However, before he could say anything, he saw the invisible wall of fire suddenly shrink again and pounce towards him, and the shrill screams rang out again.

After about ten seconds, the fire in his heart subsided, leaving behind the dying soul of the guardian Wu.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's indifferent voice also sounded in his ears, "This is just a small warning. I'm glad that you can tell me about the mission, but I don't like the threatening tone you used just now."

"Remember, no matter what happens in the future, I can crush you to death or make you wish for death if I want to."

"Did you understand what I said?"

Upon hearing this, Guardian Wu looked at the invisible flames lingering around him, and hurriedly nodded, trying to hold on to his weak soul.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan slightly moved his index finger, and immediately a wisp of fire in the fire cover turned into an invisible flaming whip, which lashed towards the guardian Wu.

"Snapped--"

"what--"

As the guardian Wu cried out in pain, Lin Yuan said calmly, "You still have the strength to speak! Why did you just nod your head and say nothing when you responded? Do you have any problem with me?"

"Asshole." Guardian Wu glared at Lin Yuan, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Nothing? I just want you to answer some questions for me." Lin Yuan said calmly.

“Hehehe,” the Wu protector laughed strangely and said coldly, “Is this how you ask for help?”

"Snapped--"

"what--"

Another scream that pierced the depths of the soul came from the mouth of the protector Wu.

"Beg?" Lin Yuan looked at the guardian Wu calmly and said lightly: "Did you misunderstand something? I am still very confident in my research on souls, and I have many ways to make you speak honestly. But..."

Looking at the weak Wu Guardian, Lin Yuan raised his lips slightly, "Just in case, I'll give you a complete set of soul restrictions first!"

As he spoke, tremendous soul power surged out from between his brows, and he formed a set of extremely complex hand seals on his hands, a set of soul restrictions that were more complex than the ones imposed on Jia Xingtian, and penetrated into the weak soul body of the protector Wu.

Sensing the extremely complex green rune on his soul, Guardian Wu's eyes suddenly became panicked, "What did you do?"

"Don't panic, this is just a simple employment certificate." Lin Yuan clapped his hands and chuckled, "Guardian Wu, welcome to join the Second Soul Hall, or Soul Hall for short."

Looking at Lin Yuan behind the invisible flame wall in fear, Guardian Wu asked in confusion: "Employment certificate? Second Soul Hall? What does that mean?"

Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously and said playfully: "I will tell you about this later, but now is not the right time. Now, tell me the information you know about the Soul Hall, starting with the location of the branch hall you know!"

"Information about the Soul Palace?" Guardian Wu was stunned and looked at Lin Yuan in surprise.

Ordinary people all avoided their Soul Palace, but they didn't expect that the guy in front of them would dare to take the initiative to inquire about the Soul Palace's information.

"Boy, you're not brave enough...ah!" Before the guardian Wu could finish his harsh words, he was already infuriated again, and the shrill screams rang out again.

Lin Yuan glanced at the guardian Wu indifferently and said indifferently: "My patience is not very good. Don't talk nonsense and answer my questions."

Seeing the flames of anger surging around him, the guardian Wu gritted his teeth and refused, "The location of the branch hall is a major secret of the Soul Hall. If I reveal its location, my fate will be worse than dying at your hands!"

Seeing that the guardian Jiangwu was still being stubborn, Lin Yuan couldn't help but admire the Soul Palace's training methods.

These Soul Hall guardians are not good people, and each one is more useless than the other. However, they are very loyal to the Soul Hall, and will try their best to keep secrets even in such a life-and-death situation.

"Since you are so resistant, I will give you a favor and not ask about this matter for now. However, courtesy is reciprocity. I gave you a favor, so you have to give me a favor as well. Right, Guardian Wu?"

As he spoke, Lin Yuan pointed his index finger at the long flaming whip in front of the Guardian Wu, and the flaming whip transformed into an invisible fire dragon, circling around the Guardian Wu.

Guardian Wu looked at the fire dragon that seemed ready to bite him at any time with fear, and said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency is right, please ask!"

"Very good, you cooperate, it will be good for both of us." Lin Yuan nodded slightly, staring at the guardian Wu with his deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I am very interested in the Soul Palace secrets, you must give me all the Soul Palace secrets you know."

"For example, the secret soul-devouring technique you used that day - the Nine Forests Hundred Soul Devourers, and the Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Array used by Guardian Sun."
