Chapter 197 Trends
Lin Yuan took the box containing the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva and handed it to the Little Medical Fairy. He said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. No one would have thought that the compatibility between the Evil Poison Body and the Netherworld Poison Fire would be so good."

Little Medical Fairy looked at the Bodhi Body Saliva and breathed a sigh of relief. The method of making the poison pill had finally made another step forward.

At this time, Gu Xun'er on the side turned her gaze to Lin Yuan, took out another portion of Bodhi Transformation Saliva from the ring, and gently handed it to Lin Yuan.

"Elder Lin Yuan, I will fulfill the agreement between you and Elder Ling. This is what we agreed on."

"The second one was obtained smoothly." Lin Yuan nodded slightly and took the Bodhi Body Saliva. "I have received the things. Thank you Miss Xun'er. Please tell Mr. Ling that if there is any need for transaction in the future, you can come to me. I will stay in the academy for a long time."

"After that... a deal?" Gu Xun'er hesitated for a moment, a gleam in her eyes, and replied: "I will tell Elder Ling about this matter."

The two men's eyes met and they both nodded imperceptibly.

Lin Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Gu Xun'er also wanted to continue the transaction, so this trading channel was maintained.

"I will stay for quite a while..." Yao Lao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "Now that Lin Yuan and the host of the Evil Poison Body have returned, it is impossible to seize the Fallen Heart Flame from Canaan Academy. It is time to find another way."

"Perhaps, I should put more energy into rebuilding my body. As long as my strength is restored, I will have more room to maneuver some things."

After a long sigh, Yao Lao finally felt at ease.

Then, he looked at Lin Yuan and said seriously: "Lin boy, I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but cast a questioning look, "Why are you so serious? Please tell me, senior."

Yao Lao pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Regarding my identity and whereabouts, I hope you can keep it secret as much as possible. The Soul Palace has many tentacles, and it is not ruled out that Canaan College has their spies. I can't afford the risk of being exposed!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan frowned slightly and said calmly: "Senior Yao, as the next great elder of Canaan College, I cannot fully agree to this matter."

"You don't agree completely, so what do you want?" asked Yao Lao.

"I need to inform Elder Su Qian about Senior Yao's matter. He is an absolutely trustworthy person." Lin Yuan gently rubbed his forehead, his attitude was very firm, "You should all know the rules of Canaan College. Even Miss Xun'er's guards are not allowed to come in casually, let alone Senior who came in without permission."

"If we really investigate, what you did has violated the rules of Canaan Academy."

After a short pause, Lin Yuan continued, "I thought that after Senior Yao and Brother Xiao arrived at the academy, they would take the initiative to explain the situation to the Great Elder. I know the Great Elder very well and he will never embarrass you. However, I didn't expect you two..."

Although he hadn't finished speaking, the meaning behind his words was enough for Yao Lao to understand.

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it.

If he hadn't had any thoughts about the Fallen Heart Flame, he and Xiao Yan should have done as the other party said and taken the initiative to inform the academy's leaders of some of the situations when they entered Canaan Academy.

Entering without notice and deliberately lurking is a very unfriendly behavior for a force.

After all, a Dou Zong-level warrior lurking in one's core area without permission is definitely not something that people would be happy about. If Canaan Academy were to take this too far, it would be enough to consider this behavior as hostile.

"I have some difficulties in this matter that I cannot state openly." Yao Lao said helplessly.

“Of course I believe in Senior Yao, but rules are rules.” Lin Yuan straightened his face and said seriously, “I will help you two with this matter, and you can continue to stay in the inner courtyard with peace of mind. But I hope this kind of situation will not happen again…”

Xiao Yan stroked the tip of his nose, smiled bitterly, and apologized, "I was indeed not thoughtful enough about this matter. I hope Brother Lin can forgive me."

At the same time, he sighed deeply in his heart. It was completely hopeless to seize the strange fire from Canaan Academy.

If Yao Lao had not been exposed, with his Dou Zong strength and advanced means, the master and disciple would have had a chance to seize the Fallen Heart Flame by surprise. However, after Yao Lao's existence became public, the matter of seizing the fire became impossible.

Although they felt a little unwilling, the master and disciple felt relieved after giving up on the Fallen Heart Flame.

With their current strength, they have to seize the Fallen Heart Flame from the Canaan Academy, which is full of strong people, and also deal with the matters after seizing the fire. The psychological pressure is definitely not small.

Seeing the conversation between the three people, Gu Xun'er's eyes darkened slightly.

Lin Yuan waved his hands and said generously: "This matter can be big or small. Since the two of you have not caused any substantial problems, just treat it as a small flaw in the process and fill in the necessary procedures!"

"Thank you, boy Lin." said Yao Lao.

"You're welcome." Lin Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "Senior and I can be considered comrades who have fought side by side. This is nothing. By the way, I have recently obtained a lot of medicinal materials, including many medicinal materials for the Shenggu Rongxue Pill. Are you interested, senior?"

"Oh?" Yao Lao's eyes sparkled when he heard that. He stroked his beard and asked, "How do you want to trade?"

"It's still the same as before, exchanging medicinal materials for pill recipes." Lin Yuan said simply.

After thinking for a while, he added, "It's also OK to exchange the pill formula for the pill. Senior doesn't have a body at the moment, so it's not convenient for you to refine some high-grade pills. As for me, I can do the work of refining pills below the eighth grade, but whether it will succeed depends on God's will."

"So, Brother Lin is a seventh-rank alchemist?" Xiao Yan looked at Lin Yuan with some surprise.

“It was just luck!” Lin Yuan waved his hand casually, chuckled, and said, “Brother Xiao, you have to work harder. The world is vast, and the next Alchemy Conference may be more exciting than you think. There are many peers worth looking forward to.”

"Among your peers, is there really an alchemist who can rival you?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"Of course there are." Lin Yuan smiled lightly and said, "As far as I know, Zhongzhou Danta has produced a rare alchemy genius who has become a disciple of the Danta giant. He should become a competitor in the Alchemy Conference."

"Danta's genius?" Yao Lao raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Young man Lin, can you tell me in detail?"

"Of course." Lin Yuan nodded and began to introduce himself to everyone.

"This person's name is Cao Ying, also known as the Cao Family Demon Girl. She was born into the Cao Family, one of the five major families in Dan Territory. She is a young legend in Dan Territory."

"When she was born, she showed astonishing soul power. Her mother was almost killed by that soul power. When she was seven years old, she officially became an alchemist. When she was fifteen years old, she successfully promoted to a sixth-rank alchemist and was accepted as a disciple by one of the three giants of Danta, President Xuan Kongzi."

At this point, Lin Yuan looked at the two of them with interest and said with a smile: "As far as I know, President Xuan Kongzi is the opponent of Senior Yao in the competition for the championship of the Alchemy Association, right?"

“Perhaps, at this year’s Alchemy Conference, the two seniors’ disciples will once again compete against each other in the arena.”

"In addition, there is unconfirmed information that the Dan family, one of the five major families in Dan Domain, has also produced a genius who is no less talented than Cao Ying. The great elder Qiu Ling of Danta also has a disciple named Song Qing, who is worth looking forward to."

Lin Yuan's news gave Xiao Yan a slight shock in Zhongzhou.

"Seven years old, an alchemist; fifteen years old, a sixth-grade alchemist?" Xiao Yan muttered with a flash of shock in his eyes.

This talent was better than the talent that had enabled him to become a fighter at the age of eleven and gain fame at the Gama level.

Douqi Continent is indeed full of hidden talents. Xiao Yan thought Lin Yuan was the top genius, but he didn't expect there was an even more amazing one. This Cao Ying from the Cao family must be a little demon girl blessed by God...

"Xuan Kongzi's disciple?" A hint of nostalgia flashed in Yao Lao's eyes. "That old fellow is lucky to have such a talented disciple, but..."

After he glanced at Lin Yuan, his eyes fell on Xiao Yan, with a smile on his face, he said confidently: "My disciple is the real gold tempered from blood and fire, and his future achievements will not be inferior to anyone else."

After hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with emotion and determination.

At the same time, he made up his mind that for the sake of his teacher's trust, he could not lose to Cao Ying, the disciple who was once Yao Lao's opponent.

Xiao Yixian and Gu Xun'er, who were standing by, did not show much surprise at this. Xiao Yixian was a genius who had cultivated to Dou Zong level in two years. She had also seen Lin Yuan, who was fifteen years old, before. When they met, he was already a sixth-grade alchemist.

And Lin Yuan's current alchemy skills...

Although Cao Ying has achieved great results, he has no advantages compared to Lin Yuan, who is of the same age.

For Gu Xun'er, there was no ripple in her heart.

After all, she knew that in terms of alchemy, there was an even more advanced Yao Clan, and it was said that there was a pair of geniuses in that clan this generation - the brother and sister Yao Tian and Yao Ling.

Especially the latter, who is said to have the spirit of an emperor, and his status in the medicine clan is very special.

However, even so, Gu Xun'er is still full of confidence in Xiao Yan's future. In her opinion, whether it is Cao Ying or the geniuses of the Medicine Clan, they are just born and have a higher starting point than Xiao Yan, and the latter will surpass everyone sooner or later.

After a while, Yao Lao regained his composure and said calmly, "Lin boy, I want the ingredients for the bone-growing and blood-melting pill. Tell me, what prescription do you need..."

"Senior Yao, do you have any elixirs that can increase the chances of breaking through the sect and becoming a master?"

After deciding to focus on restoring his body, Yao Lao became more generous when making transactions.

He directly took out two volumes of seventh-grade pill recipes. In addition to trading the medicinal materials needed to refine the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, he also traded many other medicinal materials.

After completing the transaction, Xiao Yan and others said goodbye and left.

Looking at the direction where Xiao Yan and his group left, the smile on his face slowly faded, and his eyes became deeper.

"This meeting today should have dispelled their desire for the Fallen Heart Flame. We have also obtained the required recipe. It is indeed convenient to have a suitable trading channel. We can easily transform the many resources we have collected into usable resources."

Lin Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at the two pill recipes in his hand - Zunshi Pill and Tianming Fuyuan Pill.

Zunshi Pill, a seventh-grade pinnacle elixir, can temper the body and soul, increase the chance of breaking through to the Dou Zun level, and eliminate the backlash when a breakthrough fails.

This pill can provide considerable help to Elder Qianbaier in breaking through.

Destiny Recovery Pill, a seventh-grade high-level pill, can replenish the user's vitality and life essence, repair the body, dissolve dead energy, and completely heal hidden injuries accumulated due to injuries, poisons, seals, backlash, etc.

This pill can repair the hidden injuries of Little Medical Fairy caused by the poison and increase the success rate of condensing the poison pill.

These two kinds of elixirs, plus the Zong Yuan Dan that can allow a Dou Zong to break through one star, are the seventh-grade elixirs that Lin Yuan plans to refine.

The power of the soul covered the pill formula in his hand, and a huge stream of information immediately poured into Lin Yuan's mind.

After a while, Lin Yuan put the two volumes of seventh-grade pill recipes in his hand into his storage ring. After counting the herbs, he murmured, "I have only collected one set of herbs for Zong Yuan Dan. I am still short of some herbs for Zun Shi Dan and Ming Yuan Dan. I have to go collect them."

"Black Emperor Sect." He tapped his forehead with his finger and thought of this strange yet familiar force in his mind.

"After dealing with the old demon, we will go to the Black Emperor Sect. They have been entrenched in the Black Horn Region for many years and are still doing auction business. Their collection must be very rich. We will definitely be able to get a lot of good things there."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's eyes showed a little more anticipation.
-
Inner courtyard, Panmen.

After Xiao Yan came back, he did not rest. Instead, after some preparation, he went directly to the back mountain to practice the Fire Lotus technique.

What he learned from Lin Yuan further deepened his sense of urgency.

Gu Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan's departing back tenderly. After he disappeared from her sight, she slowly walked to a room in the attic, opened the window, and let the faint moonlight penetrate through the window, wrapping her delicate and slender body.

A gentle breeze blew, and the girl's black hair fluttered in the night wind, revealing a unique and charming temperament.

"Come out, Mr. Ling!"

As the cold voice fell, a black shadow suddenly began to move in the darkness of the room, and finally condensed into a black human figure in the room.

"Miss, what are your orders?"

A figure emerged and bowed slightly towards Xun'er respectfully. Looking at his face, it was Ling Ying.

Xun'er turned around, a gentle smile appeared on her delicate face, and she said softly: "Mr. Ling, I have completed the transaction between you and Lin Yuan on your behalf."

"Thank you, Miss!" Ling Ying nodded respectfully.

Hearing this, Gu Xun'er shook her head and said softly, "Mr. Ling, you are too polite. I understand. Those deals were made to protect Brother Xiao Yan!"

"After that, please continue to maintain the trading relationship with Lin Yuan." After giving the order, she sighed, "Brother Xiao Yan has a strong sense of self-esteem. There are some things that I cannot do directly, and I may need to go through that person."

Speaking of Lin Yuan, Gu Xun'er's eyes became a little more serious.

She went with Xiao Yan to see Lin Yuan today just to confirm whether he had any bad intentions towards Xiao Yan.

Today, the conclusions reached are very good.

Lin Yuan was indeed an extraordinary person. Although he spoke gently, he always firmly occupied the dominant position when facing Xiao Yan, Yao Zun and her. However, the other party and Xiao Yan were currently in a win-win cooperation and gentlemanly competition relationship.

Gu Xun'er didn't dislike the fact that Xiao Yan had such an opponent.

After all, if Xiao Yan wanted to be with her, the opponents he would face in the future would be far more hostile and powerful than Lin Yuan.

What made Gu Xun'er even more relieved was that the other party had the same extraordinary vision as her own. He was able to see and recognize Xiao Yan's potential at this moment. Although his strength far exceeded that of the latter, he did not look down on the latter, but instead gave him considerable respect.

“It would be great if those old antiques in the clan could have the same vision as Lin Yuan.”

With a light snort, Gu Xun'er withdrew her thoughts, recalled the conversation with Yao Lao's soul clone, and asked Ling Ying: "Ling Lao, is there a way for us to contact Feng Zun directly?"

Her tone emphasized the word "directly".

Ling Ying thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Miss, with the power we have, we can contact Xingyun Pavilion, but Master Feng is often away, so it is difficult to contact him in a short time. If time is urgent, we need to mobilize some forces within the clan, but..."

Ling Ying looked at Gu Xun'er and reminded her softly, "After calling on the power of the clan, the pressure from the clan will increase greatly. I'm afraid you will have to return to the clan immediately."

After that, silence fell between the two.

After a while, Gu Xun'er slowly spoke, "Don't alarm the clan yet. Senior Yao plans to take Brother Xiao Yan to Xingyun Pavilion after I return to the Ancient Clan. But the Soul Palace has been chasing Senior Yao, and I'm worried that Xingyun Pavilion has their hidden tricks."

"Old Ling, arrange some people to investigate the situation of Venerable Feng and Xingyun Pavilion. Even if you cannot contact Venerable Feng, you must find a trustworthy person."

Ling Ying nodded, his body turned into a blurry black shadow and merged into the shadows, slowly disappearing.

"Senior Yao, I'm sorry, I have to delay your request for a while." Gu Xun'er looked towards the back mountain dimly, "I have been separated from Brother Xiao Yan for three years, and we just met each other. Please give me some more time!"

"Once I return to the clan, I don't know when I will be able to see Brother Xiao Yan again..."
