Chapter 169: It's Over, Leaving Gama
Hearing Lin Yuan's question, Guardian Wu was stunned. This was the first time in all these years that he heard someone ask him for the secret method of the Soul Palace.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and looked deeply at Lin Yuan in front of him.

At this moment, Lin Yuan had a gentle smile on his handsome face, but in his deep eyes was an indifference and a determination to win that frightened the guardian Wu.

"Hehe, this is interesting. How can a person like you, who is also Yao Chen's partner, be interested in the secret techniques of my Soul Palace?"

"I'm just interested in powerful strength." Lin Yuan smiled indifferently and said calmly: "Although the Soul Palace's secret techniques don't look very ornamental, and even have a bit of evil flavor, their effects are undoubtedly powerful."

"Hehe." A red light flashed in the eyes of the guardian Wu, and he tempted: "Why don't you join my Soul Palace? I believe that with your talent, you will definitely be valued by the higher-ups in the Soul Palace."

After a pause, the guardian Wu continued, "If you don't have any connections, I can introduce you. Moreover, if you can provide the information you have about Yao Chen, you can immediately make a great contribution and receive a huge reward from above."

After saying this, he looked at Lin Yuan with burning eyes, waiting for his reply.

Under the expectant gaze of the Guardian Wu, Lin Yuan just smiled gently, pointed his index and middle fingers at the Guardian Wu, and then the invisible fire dragon surrounding the Guardian Wu swept up.

"what--"

Under the precise burning of the heart fire, a shrill scream once again rang out from the mouth of the guardian Wu.

At the same time, Lin Yuan's cold voice rang in the ears of Guardian Wu.

"Good suggestion. I will go to the Soul Palace one day. But you seem to have forgotten what I told you: 'My patience is not very good. Don't talk nonsense. Answer my questions.' You talk too much nonsense."

And when the dragon of heart fire dispersed, the life essence of the guardian Wu was swaying like a candle in the wind, as if it would go out at any time.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan took out a bottle of emerald-like liquid that was filled with vitality from his ring. It was the Soul-Nourishing Saliva.

He moved his fingers slightly, and a drop of emerald liquid the size of a dewdrop flew from the mouth of the bottle into the invisible fire cover. The breath full of vitality immediately made the nearly dying Wu Guardian open his eyes as if he had a last breath of life.

Then, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and the drop of soul-nourishing saliva turned into a mist full of vitality that lingered around the guardian Wu, pulling it back from the edge of dissipation.

When the guardian Wu completely absorbed the medicinal power of the drop of soul-nourishing saliva, his fragile soul was finally temporarily freed from the crisis of vanishing into thin air.

After experiencing this moment of being extremely close to death, the guardian Wu looked at Lin Yuan with a little more fear in his eyes. When he was only half a step away from death, he really realized how precious his life was.

And when the guardian Wu turned his gaze to the Soul-Nourishing Saliva, there was a bit more greed in his eyes. This thing was extremely effective for him now.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He flicked his fingers, and a drop of soul-nourishing saliva flew into the heart flame shield again, floating in front of the soul of the guardian Wu, and as Lin Yuan's fingers turned, it also circled around the guardian Wu.

Taking a deep breath of the vibrant aura around him, Guardian Wu's eyes showed a hint of eagerness.

"Do you want it?" Lin Yuan smiled playfully and said, "Then it depends on your sincerity. Tell me all the secrets of the Soul Palace that you know."

"Yes, yes, I understand..."

Throughout the rest of the day, waves of obscure soul fluctuations accompanied by occasional "jiejie" sounds echoed in the secret room.

The next day, the tightly closed door slowly opened, and Lin Yuan walked out slowly into the spacious courtyard.

Squinting his eyes, Lin Yuan looked at the sun in the sky that was emitting bursts of warmth, and unconsciously revealed a gentle smile. The cold feeling on his body, which was caused by the infection of the guardian Wu and the "hehehe" feeling he had been having all day, gradually dissipated.

Lin Yuan stretched his body lazily, recalling the many secret techniques he had obtained from the guardian Wu.

"This day and night was not wasted."

"Nine Forests, Hundred Soul Devouring Formation, Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Spirit Formation, Soul Devouring Spirit Devouring, Spirit Forging Method..."

"The Soul Palace's approach to soul power is truly unique, with its own unique methods and characteristics. Compared with orthodox soul skills such as the Soul Mysterious Seal, these Soul Palace secrets have similarities and differences. They are more demanding, cruel, and extreme."

"In any case, this operation has made a lot of money. Whether it is forging a soul clone capable of carrying the strange fire, or the research on the divine transformation, it can be advanced further."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and his heart was lifted.

"Young Master, it seems that you have gained a lot this time." Qing Lin's voice with a hint of smile sounded not far away, and he came forward with brisk steps.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Qing Lin, and he chuckled, "Yes, this time we have gained a lot. By the way, Qing'er, this is for you. The medicinal power of the Qingyuan Pill you took is almost exhausted, so use this next!"

As he spoke, he reached into the storage ring, took out a Xuanyuan Pill that he had refined earlier, and handed it to Qinglin.

"What is this?" Qing Lin took the jade bottle and looked at Lin Yuan in confusion.

"Xuanyuan Dan can multiply the effect of your cultivation several times within a period of time." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir."

"Haha, between you and me, the word 'thank you' is redundant..."

Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, a rainbow of light flashed out from Qinglin's sleeves, and as it expanded, Xiao Cai's human form appeared. "Daddy," the moment she appeared, she threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms, and her soft arms wrapped around Lin Yuan's neck.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan showed a gentle smile on his face and said with a smile: "Did my little Cai get enough sleep?"

"Not yet, I'm still very sleepy." Xiao Cai shook her head sleepily and chuckled, "I just woke up because I felt Daddy's breath."

"Really?" Lin Yuan stroked her little head, took out a scarlet spiritual fruit from the ring, fed it to Xiao Cai, and chuckled, "Then Xiao Cai, eat this, and then sleep in my sleeve for a while."

"Hmm!" After Xiao Cai swallowed the spiritual fruit comfortably, her body quickly shrank and turned into a small colorful bracelet, which was flexibly wrapped around Lin Yuan's right arm.

Feeling the cool breath against his arm, Lin Yuan smiled gently, and revealed a hint of a smile.

“Xiao Cai, you’re not far from the sixth level.

As his fingers gently stroked Xiao Cai in his sleeve, Lin Yuan’s thoughts flowed rapidly.

"The Transformation Pill is indeed the best among the seventh-grade pills. It not only allowed Xiao Cai to gain a human form, but also allowed her to accumulate a huge amount of energy in her body. In addition, she has consumed a large amount of natural treasures over the past year or so, and her energy is now sufficient. She is almost at the critical point of advancement."

"It seems that I need to plan a good diet for Xiao Cai and regulate the energy in her body during this period of time."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan looked at Qing Lin and thought to himself: "With Qing'er's speed, she is not far from Dou Huang. Now it seems that Qing'er and Xiao Cai will break through to Dou Huang together. This is a very likely thing."

So, Lin Yuan asked, "Qing'er, how was the experiment you conducted with Xiao Cai?"

Qing Lin smiled broadly upon hearing this, "Haha, it works~"

"Really?" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.

Qinglin nodded and told Lin Yuan the results of her experiment with Xiaocai with a smile.

"Sir, your previous guess was correct. Although the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils cannot control ancient beasts like the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, this does not mean that the power of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils is ineffective against the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. It's just that they can resist my control."

"But if Xiao Cai is willing to cooperate with me and take the initiative to accept the power of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, we can form an equal partnership."

"Oh?" Lin Yuan showed a curious look on his face and asked, "Is there anything special about this partnership?"

Qing Lin pondered for a moment and said seriously, "The characteristic of a partnership is equality. We can use the magical power of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils to borrow some of each other's strength, but there is an extra approval process in the middle."

"For example, Xiao Cai can enter my intraocular space and communicate with me remotely, but this requires my permission."

"I can also borrow Xiao Cai's ancient beast aura and use it to intimidate the enemy, enhance the power of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils, and increase the upper limit of my ability to recover snake followers."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded and said with emotion: "So that's how it is. The Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils are indeed magical."

Hearing this, Qing Lin scratched the back of his head and said softly, "There should be other abilities, but I need to wait until my cultivation level is improved before I can further explore them." Hearing this, Lin Yuan thought of the ancient jade in his ring, chuckled, and said meaningfully, "Then let's improve slowly and explore slowly! After that, we will have a lot of time to improve and explore together."

"Yeah!" Feeling Lin Yuan's inexplicable emotion, Qing Lin nodded heavily.

"Oh, sir, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Yesterday and today, Zi Yan went out early in the morning. She said she was going to fight someone and asked me not to follow her. But, she came back injured yesterday. Is that really okay?"

Speaking of Zi Yan, Qing Lin was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I know about this and have arranged a clone to follow her. But let me check on her condition. Open the Sky Dome network communication..."

As he spoke, a mysterious wave was released towards the back mountain of the Gama royal family.

In the Holy City of Gama, deep in the royal back mountain, Lin Yuan's Douhuang-level shadow clone was hiding in the dark, watching the battle between Zi Yan and the Youhai Jiao Beast.

Suddenly, it seemed to crash, and its head drooped. Not long after, this clone seemed to restart, and once again looked up at the battlefield where Zi Yan was, with a much more lively look in its eyes than before.

On the battlefield, Zi Yan was being whipped away by the tail of the dark sea dragon.

However, after suffering a head-on attack, Zi Yan acted as if nothing had happened. After stopping, she flapped her wings and continued to charge towards the dark sea dragon, showing the powerful physique of the Taixu Ancient Dragon to the fullest.

"Well, Zi Yan's skills and combat awareness are much more sophisticated than before. Everything is going well. It seems that this opponent is indeed very suitable for Zi Yan."

"This way, I feel relieved."

Immediately, the agility in the clone's eyes dissipated a little and returned to the same state as before.

"Young master, how is it?" Qinglin asked.

Seeing Qing Lin who looked a little worried, Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "I just consciously 'descended' to the clone to take a look. Zi Yan is fine, don't worry, she is practicing with the opponent I arranged for her."

"That's good." Qinglin nodded, then changed the subject and talked about the problems he encountered.

"Sir, I have encountered some problems when using the Beast Spirit Gathering Formation in my recent practice. Can you explain it to me?"

"Of course, it's a question of which part."

"Some questions about the Beast Spirit Gathering Formation and the Gathering Yuan Chapter..."

Therefore, Lin Yuan and Qing Lin began to discuss issues related to formations. Although Qing Lin's formations were taught by Lin Yuan, Qing Lin also had her own special insights. During the exchange, the two inspired each other and learned from each other's strengths.

Just like that, in the following days, Lin Yuan lived the fulfilling and comfortable life he had been away from for a long time.

While practicing fighting spirit and refining pills, he studied, researched and improved various fighting skills and secrets. While guiding Qinglin, Ziyan and Xiaocai in their practice, he was waiting for the return of Mitel Tengshan.

Seven days passed quickly during this long-awaited peaceful time.

During this period, Jia Xingtian also brought Yao Ye to visit Lin Yuan, and made a request, hoping that Yao Ye would be responsible for carrying out specific tasks related to the Seven Stars on the royal side.

After a brief examination, Lin Yuan concluded that Yao Ye was a noble concubine with a very good talent for cultivation. Therefore, he gladly accepted Yao Ye as the representative of the royal family and took on the task of being a subordinate of Tianshu in the future.

Yao Ye originally wanted to get closer to Lin Yuan, but seeing that Lin Yuan was not interested, he wisely said goodbye.

On the seventh night, Mitteltengshan, who was assigned by Lin Yuan to carry out the relocation of the Xiao family, finally returned.

At night, in Haibo East Courtyard, three people sat opposite each other at a stone table.

Lin Yuan picked up the wine jug and filled the three glasses on the table one by one. After the three of them drank a glass, Lin Yuan asked about the progress of the mission.

"Chief Tengshan, how is the plan going this time?" As he spoke, Lin Yuan filled the empty wine glass in front of him.

"So far, it's going smoothly." Mittel Tengshan nodded and said in a deep voice: "According to the plan, I hired some bandits to 'destroy' the core migration team of the Xiao family, and then put the bandits to sleep forever."

"As for the Xiao family team that was 'destroyed', I have arranged for them to be hidden. They will be sent to the designated location in the Black Horn Region in batches later."

Lin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "You have done a good job in this matter. You should continue to follow up on the Xiao family's affairs. By the way, this is for you."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan took out a jade bottle containing a green pill from his storage ring and handed it to Mitel Tengshan. This was the pill he had refined in the past few days.

Looking at the pill in front of him, Mittel Tengshan's heart was slightly throbbing, "Master Tianshu, what is this pill?"

Lin Yuan filled Hai Bodong's cup and introduced it calmly: "This is the Zhihuang Pill, a sixth-level high-level pill. It increases the success rate of Dou Wang breaking through to Dou Huang by 40%. With its help, breaking through to Dou Huang will not be a difficult task for you."

Mitel Tengshan was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed, "Thank you, Master Tianshu."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said calmly: "Master Tengshan is too polite. This is what you deserve. I have said that as long as things are done well, I will never be stingy with my own people."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan filled a glass for himself as well.

Seeing Lin Yuan's actions, Hai Bodong's eyes narrowed slightly and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Lin Yuan's gaze fell on Hai Bodong, looking at this entry point for him to enter the Gama Empire, he chuckled and nodded.

"Old Hai is indeed perceptive. I will leave the Gama Empire tomorrow morning. Later, you and Jia Xingtian will take turns to lead the affairs of the Tianshu Affiliated Gama Branch. Collect various resources for me and wait for my subsequent orders."

"In addition, the affairs of the Yunlan Sect are also handed over to you. Remember to keep its Taoist heritage."

Hai Bodong straightened his expression and said in a deep voice: "I understand. I will do my best to complete what you asked me to do. A great god like you is not something that the Jia Ma Empire can accommodate. I will toast you with this glass of wine and wish you continued success..."

As he spoke, Hai Bodong raised his wine glass, and so did Lin Yuan, Mi Te and Tengshan.

"Dry--"

The mountain behind the imperial city is the habitat of the dark sea dragons.

Zi Yan looked at the Youhai Jiao Beast that fell on the lake again, and a bright smile appeared on her delicate face, "Hey, big guy, I win this time."

"Woo——"

The Youhai Jiao Beast, whose breath was a little weak, groaned softly, and said with a grin, "Yes, yes, little aunt, you won. I am no match for you. So, can you not torment me tomorrow?"

As he spoke, the Dark Sea Dragon Beast felt a surge of emotion in his heart. Having a strong bloodline was truly amazing in the world of Warcraft.

These days, Zi Yan has been fighting against You Hai, a perfect opponent, and the powerful force hidden in the top-level Taixu ancient dragon bloodline has gradually been mastered by her. Zi Yan's combat power has improved visibly.

In just a few days, Zi Yan made the transition from being unable to defeat the Youhai Jiao Beast, to being able to tie with it, and then to defeating it.

Today, Zi Yan’s combat power is comparable to that of an ordinary nine-star Douhuang.

Hearing the words of submission from the Youhai Jiao Beast, Zi Yan waved her hands in satisfaction and grinned, "Don't worry, big guy, I won't come to beat you up tomorrow. Also, this is for you, it's the reward my brother gives you for accompanying me in a fight. Goodbye..."

As she spoke, Zi Yan threw a jade bottle towards the Dark Sea Dragon Beast, then flapped her wings, left the back mountain, and flew towards the Mittel Family.

The dark sea dragon looked at the elixir floating in front of its eyes, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared in its huge pupils.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect it to be another Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill. This little girl is really rich. To be able to get this, the beatings I received these days were not in vain..."

The next day, early in the morning.

Three streams of light, one blue, one purple and one green, rose from the Mittel family and cut through the sky.

Lin Yuan, with Qinglin, Ziyan and Xiaocai in his sleeve, left the Gama Empire calmly and galloped towards the depths of the Tagor Desert.
