Chapter 185: Unification, Advancement
"Let Xie Biyan be the executor of the Seven Stars..."

After hearing Lin Yuan's decision, Xiao Yixian thought for a moment, then nodded gently, "Well, this is a good choice. His strength is indeed enough to intimidate and unite all parties and complete the responsibility of collecting and transporting resources. However..."

She changed the subject and asked doubtfully, "What about your crowdfunding training plan? Aren't you planning to use the magic poison spots to seize his fighting spirit?"

"Hehe!" Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled slyly, "Crowdfunding training plan, this is exactly where I want to use Xie Biyan. After all, my research on poisonous fighting spirit is limited, and you are not deeply involved in the magic poison spot."

"I believe that improving the magic poison spots will be much smoother with the help of a veteran like Xie Biyan."

After a pause, Lin Yuan continued to explain: "In order to ensure that he can devote himself to this matter wholeheartedly, I have specially sealed his strength."

"Later, I will directly link the lifting of the seal with the research on the Demonic Poison Spot. If he wants to recover his strength, he must go all out to assist me in researching and improving the Demonic Poison Spot. In this way, I am not afraid that he will not contribute, hehehe——"

In fact, Lin Yuan handed over the Poison Sect to the Wanxie Sect and told them that he and Xiaoyi would leave. These were all inducements to motivate the people in the Wanxie Sect.

After all, although he can overwhelm others with his strength, in order to do things well, he still needs some benefits to motivate others.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, the Little Medical Fairy glanced at him and raised a playful smile, "You are really planning ahead. But what if the improvement of the magic poison spot fails?"

Lin Yuan still smiled, but his eyes suddenly became cold and deep.

"That means Xie Biyan has failed my expectations and wasted the opportunity I gave him. At that time, I will accept his pure fighting spirit without hesitation. Since I have set restrictions on him, I have countless ways to deal with him."

The Little Medical Immortal nodded slightly and reminded: "The strong men of the Izumo Empire are very unruly and not so easy to surrender. You should be aware of this."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan looked at the Little Medical Fairy gently, "Don't worry, I know my limits!"

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his expression became serious and he said seriously: "Little Medical Fairy, when I was watching your fight just now, I suddenly remembered that I have a secret method that is very suitable for you. It should be your trump card."

"Oh?" Seeing this, Little Medical Fairy's eyes became more curious, "So serious, what is it?"

“Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire!” Lin Yuan paused for a word, a gleam of brilliance flashing in his eyes, “You possess the Netherworld Poison Fire, one of the strange fires. If you use this method, the increase in combat power should be no less than the effect of completely removing the evil poison body.”

The Little Medical Fairy was slightly startled and murmured the name, "Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations...?"

“Yes!” Lin Yuan nodded and explained: “The top secret method of Burning Flame Valley that I got by chance can increase my cultivation level with flames. The stronger the flame, the greater the increase…”

The two of them talked as they walked, and their figures turned into two streams of light, cutting through the sky and heading straight for the Izumo Holy City.

An hour later, a city that was no less magnificent than Tiandu City suddenly appeared in their eyes.

We’ve arrived at the Holy City of Izumo!
Lin Yuan and Xiao Yixian exchanged a glance, and then released a majestic aura, heading straight for the imperial city where the Izumo royal family was located. Soon, deafening roars and fierce energy collisions were heard from the imperial city.

A few hours later, Lin Yuan and Little Medical Immortal leisurely left the imperial city.

Lin Yuan gently stroked the ring, with a satisfied smile on his face. "The royal families of the countries in the Northwest are really wealthy. It seems that we should make them a priority in the future."

He felt a little regretful. "I made a mistake today. I didn't bring Zi Yan here. There must be a lot of things missing in this imperial city. I will bring Zi Yan here another day."

One day later, the situation in the Izumo Empire changed suddenly. The Wanxie Sect and the Izumo Royal Family successively announced their allegiance to the Poison Sect. The Wanxie Sect was completely disbanded and all its members were incorporated into the Poison Sect.

This news, like a bolt from the blue, instantly shook the entire Izumo Empire.

Everyone had expected the Izumo Imperial Family to surrender;

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that sooner or later the Izumo royal family will side with the Poison Sect and the Anti-Poison Sect alliance.

However, the sudden change of the Wanxie Sect was unexpected.

As the core of the anti-drug alliance, the Wanxie Sect defected at lightning speed, instantly reversing the situation in the Izumo Empire, and unification became a foregone conclusion.

When the four major forces of Izumo - the Poison Sect, the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect, the Alchemist Guild, and the Royal Family - joined together, everything became unstoppable.

The four major forces formed a coalition with ten Douhuang as the core, sweeping across the Izumo Empire. A large number of forces were wiped out, and the massive resources accumulated by many forces in the Izumo Empire were gathered at the Poison Sect headquarters in Tiandu City.

In an instant, the Poison Sect's influence reached an unprecedented height.
-
A month later.

In a quiet valley within the Poison Sect’s forbidden area, Lin Yuan and Little Medical Immortal stood side by side on a bluestone.

"Let's start!" Lin Yuan said softly.

As he spoke, he slowly moved behind Little Medical Fairy and gently placed his hands on her shoulders. Soul power flowed out from between his brows and penetrated into her body, delicately sensing every trajectory of energy flow.

The Little Medical Fairy nodded slightly and slowly closed her eyes.

At the same time, in the soul-gathering area at the center of the cyclone in her body, wisps of purple flames filled with the breath of death gushed out from the little medical fairy's body and lingered around her.

Immediately, her eyes suddenly opened, and her hands quickly formed a series of strange hand seals.

"Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire: Netherworld Transformation!"

With a clear shout, the purple flames surrounding her body suddenly retracted and quickly retreated into Xiao Yixiang's body.

The Netherworld Poisonous Fire quickly began to circulate along a strange meridian route. A violent force slowly diffused out from it and merged into the body of the Little Medical Fairy, filling it with an incomparable sense of power.

Her aura also suddenly rose at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yixiang broke through the barrier from the peak of two-star Dou Zong to the peak of three-star Dou Zong, and stopped at the peak of three-star Dou Zong.

The Little Medical Fairy gently raised her white jade-like palm, clenched it in front of her eyes, feeling the powerful force surging in her body. The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, and a look of joy bloomed on her face.

After more than half a month of careful guidance from Lin Yuan, she finally succeeded in mastering this secret method.

Feeling the violent power flowing through her body, she sighed inwardly, "Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire, a terrifying secret method! The first transformation alone actually increased my strength by a whole star."

"Little Medical Fairy, remember your feelings at this moment and then release the secret method." Lin Yuan's voice sounded behind her at the right time, "Although this method is powerful, the backlash to the body cannot be underestimated if it is maintained for a long time."

After saying this, he withdrew his soul power and also released his hand on Xiao Yixian's shoulder.

The Little Medical Fairy nodded, closed her eyes and carefully experienced it, then lifted the secret technique as instructed and turned to look at Lin Yuan.

"Is there anything wrong with the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire that I just performed?"

Lin Yuan smiled lightly, his eyes met those purple-gray eyes, and said seriously: "Your performance is already quite outstanding, but there are still subtle areas that can be improved. For example, there are several energy conversion nodes that can be optimized, the phantom pupil..." As he spoke, a faint light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and the phantom pupil came out.

A stream of information flowed out from his eyes, passing on the details he had just discovered with his soul power to the Little Medical Fairy without reservation.

After digesting Lin Yuan's news, Little Medical Immortal pondered for a while and murmured, "I see! No wonder when I used the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire just now, even though it was successful, I still felt a sense of disharmony."

"That's right." Lin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "If you can perfectly master the first transformation of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire and use the Netherworld Poison Fire to perform the 'Netherworld Transformation', you should be able to increase your strength to a four-star Dou Zong."

"However, to achieve this, you still need to work harder on controlling the strange fire. This is for you..."

Lin Yuan took out a green jade scroll with a warm luster from his storage ring and handed it to the Little Medical Fairy.

The Little Medical Fairy took the scroll, and saw five large characters that exuded an inexplicable attraction - "Tianyuan Fire Control Method". And below it, there were three small characters engraved "First Edition", revealing a kind of initial sharpness.

"What is this?" The Little Medical Fairy looked at Lin Yuan in confusion.

“Whether it is practicing the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire or practicing alchemy in the future, the ability to control fire is an indispensable cornerstone.”

Lin Yuan smiled proudly and said confidently: "I am still very confident in controlling fire. I should be no worse than most seventh-grade alchemists. This is what I made after summarizing my own fire control method. I believe it can help you."

The Little Medical Fairy did not refuse. She gently stroked the jade scroll with her fingertips and then put it carefully into the ring.

"Thank you very much!" said the little medical fairy gently.

"Between us, such words are unnecessary." Lin Yuan smiled heartily and waved his hand nonchalantly.

Then, thinking of the evil poison body, a trace of worry flashed across Lin Yuan's eyes, and he turned to ask with concern: "Little Medical Immortal, will practicing the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire trigger your evil poison body? Will it accelerate the outbreak of the poison body?"

The Little Medical Fairy closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then shook her head gently to show that she was safe and sound. "There is no such sign at the moment."

"That's good!" Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "By the way, you have also studied the poison pill method and related information for a while. What do you think?"

Speaking of this, the Little Medical Immortal's expression became serious, and he said thoughtfully: "As you guessed before, the Netherworld Poison Fire has indeed caused changes in my evil poison body. The toxicity of this mixed poison in my body has increased a lot."

"Perhaps, as you said, when using the poison pill method, using the netherworld poisonous fire instead of the poison pill would be a better choice. But..."

"It's just that this method needs to be improved!" Lin Yuan smiled slightly and took over her words.

He patted Xiao Yixian on the shoulder and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I already have some ideas on how to perfect the poison pill. We'll be together for a long time, so we'll have plenty of time and opportunity to study it."

"Yes!" Little Medical Fairy nodded and said playfully, "You have already made a breakthrough. Do you still need to practice with me today?"

“No!” Lin Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: “I have been looking for you to practice with me before because I wanted to hone my fighting spirit through fighting and find an opportunity to break through. Now that I have broken through to the Eight-Star Dou Huang, there is no need for the time being.”

That’s right, Lin Yuan is already an eight-star Dou Huang.

Previously, when he was refining the Sea Heart Flame in the Mulan Empire, he used the secret fire-swallowing method to absorb a lot of the Sea Heart Flame's energy, breaking through to the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Huang in one fell swoop.

During this period of time, through hard training and sparring with Xiao Yixian and others, he finally seized the opportunity and was promoted to eight-star Dou Huang.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's eyes were somewhat excited. "I have gathered all the medicinal materials for the Fire Emperor Pill. If everything goes well, my cultivation will soon reach the peak of the Dou Emperor. Next, I will start working on breaking through to the Dou Zong level."

While he was thinking, the voice of Little Doctor Fairy sounded beside him, "Is Zi Yan okay? She has been sleeping for several days."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan glanced at Zi Yan who was sleeping not far away and waved his hand, "Don't worry! I have carefully checked that she is just digesting the huge amount of energy accumulated in her body. During this period of time, she has eaten too many natural treasures."

During this period, under the conquest of the Poison Sect, most of the resources accumulated by the Izumo Empire were concentrated in the Poison Sect.

Lin Yuan harvested an unprecedented amount of resources.

With the recent harvest and previous accumulation, it is no exaggeration to say that the resources Lin Yuan currently has are enough to refine hundreds of sixth-grade pills.

In this case, Lin Yuan's supply to Zi Yan was unlimited, with a large number of sixth-level and above natural treasures, allowing her to eat as she pleased and in any way she wanted. With such an abundant supply, Zi Yan quickly completed the staged energy accumulation.

According to Lin Yuan's estimation, after Zi Yan wakes up this time, she will enter the middle and late stage of the sixth level.

With a light leap, Lin Yuan landed in front of Zi Yan.

At this time, Zi Yan was lying on a pile of natural treasures. Purple air emanated from her with every breath she took. The mixture of the misty purple air and the energy emitted by the natural treasures surrounded her body, as if a vague cocoon of purple air wrapped her up.

When his eyes fell on the pile of rare and precious materials she used as "bed pads", even Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

A few days ago, Zi Yan found Lin Yuan and picked out a bunch of fragrant natural treasures from Lin Yuan. She also told him mysteriously that she had thought of a good way to use the natural treasures.

Later, Lin Yuan found out that the way she meant to use it was to use it as a cushion for sleeping.

“If other alchemists saw this girl using herbs like this, they would probably be so angry that they would blow their beards and glare at her.” Lin Yuan thought to himself.

At this time, the space shook slightly, and the figure of the Little Medical Fairy appeared beside Lin Yuan.

She looked at Zi Yan's sleeping face gently and chuckled, "This little guy is so peaceful when he is asleep, completely different from his usual lively self."

"I hope this girl can stay lively for a few more years!" Lin Yuan said faintly.

At the same time, he leaned over and carefully checked Zi Yan's condition. "According to this progress, this girl will sleep for another ten days."

Lin Yuan stood up and turned his gaze to the Little Medical Fairy, a smile appearing on his face.

"Xiao Yixian, it's time for you to practice and break through. If my perception is correct, you should have already grasped the opportunity to break through to three stars. Go ahead, my breakthrough is over, and I will be your guardian from now on."

The Little Medical Fairy nodded and flew towards the stone pool, "Then I will go and break through."

In fact, she had sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough the day before yesterday and should have practiced in seclusion. But at that time, one of Lin Yuan and Zi Yan was sleeping while the other broke through. During this period, the Poison Sect was also full of good and bad people, so the Little Medical Fairy had to suppress her condition.

Now that Lin Yuan has completed his breakthrough, it is time for Xiao Yixian to focus on breaking through to the three-star Dou Zong level.

After becoming the Little Medical Immortal, Lin Yuan transformed into a blood soul and set up several layers of solid space barriers with Zi Yan as the center.

Afterwards, he left the forbidden area of ​​the Poison Sect and walked towards a hall of the Poison Sect.
