Chapter 205 Demon Puppet, Skyfire Venerable

Knowing that he could refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet, Lin Yuan had been consciously collecting the body, soul and magic core. After he killed the former Dou Zong-level opponent, his body and soul had been separated and stored by Lin Yuan.

Especially the soul, which is not only the material of the Heavenly Demon Puppet, but also the material he uses to study the soul.

After experiencing many battles, Lin Yuan had eight Dou Zong-level souls on hand, as well as a number of seventh-level bodies and magic cores, which were more than enough materials to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

After tempering Tang Ba's body slightly, Lin Yuan flicked his fingertips and a fiery red magic core floated out and fell into the small hole in the chest of the corpse.

Immediately, he flipped his hand, and a pitch-black box appeared in his hand. When he opened the box, the soul of a young Dou Zong emerged and floated quietly in front of him. It looked like Tang Shan, the leader of the Wanqi Sect.

At this moment, Tangshan's soul no longer has the rebelliousness it once had. His eyes are dull, as if he has lost his mind.

"Did you lose your mind during my previous research?" Lin Yuan smiled playfully, and flames surged up, completely enveloping the soul. "You're so smart, do you think this disguise can hide from my perception?"

As he spoke, Lin Yuan tempered his soul with fire, using the high temperature of the strange fire to refine the mind of the soul.

A few minutes later, Tang Shan's soul finally removed its disguise before its consciousness faded. It looked at Lin Yuan with hatred, "Lin Yuan, I curse you..."

Listening to his curse, Lin Yuan smiled indifferently, the loser's cry was not worth a sneer.

He lightly snapped his fingers, and the temperature of the flame suddenly increased. Not long after, with a subtle sound, the consciousness hidden in the soul also disappeared in this moment...

"We must take the necessary steps. If we really let the soul body control the Heavenly Demon Puppet, then maybe... it will be unexpectedly interesting?"

Shaking his head, Lin Yuan retracted his somewhat unconventional thoughts.

He waved his sleeves lightly, sending Tang Shan's soul into the hole on the corpse's forehead. As this unconscious soul entered, Tang Ba's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and his pupils were pitch black...

At the same time, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and many strange metals with strange luster flew out from the Youhai Ring and hovered in front of him.

Then, Lin Yuan squeezed his hands, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire gushed out from his palms, gathering into a flame cauldron carved with lotus patterns. The moment the mouth of the cauldron opened, a powerful attraction drew these strange metals in.

Three-colored flames rushed in, intertwining and swirling, and a terrifyingly high temperature rose up. These strange metals soon showed signs of melting.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan divided his mind into two parts, one was tempering the corpse at the appropriate temperature, and the other was refining the strange metal at extremely high temperature.

The refining of both sides requires a long time.

Especially the refinement of corpses, the body, soul, and magic core must be completely integrated to a certain degree to achieve perfect harmony. And grasping this moment is the most difficult part of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

Lin Yuan was not impatient. Years of alchemy practice had given him great patience. He sat cross-legged on the green lotus throne, closed his eyes and waited for the opportunity to come.

Five days flew by.

Various metals had long been melted into a dark golden solution and mixed together. Wrapped in the fire cauldron, they glowed with a dark golden light.

At a certain moment, Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly opened, and a hint of joy flashed across his deep pupils.

"The time has come, it's now!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan quickly formed a strange seal with his hands and let out a slightly strange shout.

As the shout was uttered, Tang Ba's body suddenly shook, and the soul hovering in his brain seemed to be shattered by an invisible force, turning into countless tiny points of light and scattering all over his body.

At the same time, the fiery red magic core in his chest released violent energy, which flowed rapidly along the meridians in his body like a flood.

The body, soul and magic core were perfectly integrated into one at this moment. A Dou Zong-level aura without any emotion slowly rose up.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan's mouth corners unconsciously rose slightly, and with a wave of his sleeves, the dark golden solution poured out from the fire cauldron.

"laugh--"

When the high-temperature metal solution first came into contact with the flesh and blood of the corpse, it emitted puffs of white smoke and a faint smell of smoke filled the air.

Lin Yuan's powerful soul power swept over, accurately smearing the dark gold solution on all parts of his body. The metal solution began to come into more complete contact with his flesh and blood body. A "hissing" sound continued to be heard, and bursts of white smoke rose.

After a while, the white smoke dissipated, and the cold gray color of the corpse was replaced by a dark gold color.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan held his breath and concentrated. The seal in his hand suddenly changed, and three kinds of strange fire rushed out, wrapping up his body and starting the final tempering.

The most critical step has been completed. Now it’s just a matter of waiting, waiting for the Heavenly Demon Puppet to be completely formed.

As the high temperature burned, the dark golden metal solution also began to completely merge with the puppet. As the two merged, the color of the puppet gradually turned into dark green, and it looked like a bronze sculpture.

Looking at the puppet in front of him, Lin Yuan showed an expression that he had expected, "It is indeed the third grade, a human demon puppet."

Yao Yao puppets are divided into three categories: heaven, earth, and man. The best way to distinguish the three is to observe the skin color of the puppet - heaven is gold, earth is silver, and man is copper.

"When it comes to the quality of a demon puppet, the materials are the most important factor, and the techniques can only serve as a supplement."

Afterwards, he marked the puppet with a soul mark and tested its strength, and finally came to the conclusion: "Is it about the strength of a three-star Dou Zong? Not bad, this level of strength and direct fighting style is perfect for Zi Yan to practice with."

"I have the toys for Zi Yan, and next are the guards of the Refining Academy and my own guards!"

"Before refining, perhaps I can use the Soul Palace's Soul Devouring Secret Technique to strengthen my soul and improve the quality of the materials. Maybe I can refine a better puppet?"

Not long after, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire rose again in the sea of ​​magma, and mysterious auras spread out.
-
Half a month later.

Looking at the silver puppet in front of him, Lin Yuan flicked his finger, and a drop of blood containing the mark of the soul flew out from his fingertips and landed accurately on the forehead of the puppet, slowly invading it and turning into a blood-red mark.

"The Earth Demon Puppet has the strength of the Seven Star Peak. Its combat power should be no less than that of the Earth Demon Old Ghost. Not bad!"

"Using the soul of the old demon, he devoured other souls to strengthen his own power, and then used it to refine puppets. Combined with the Wanqi Sect's weapon refining method, the effect was unexpectedly good."

"With the protection of this puppet, safety is guaranteed, then..."

Lin Yuan looked at the magma sea below, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "It's time to go down and pull up the Skyfire Venerable. The calls are getting more and more frequent, it seems that he is also waiting impatiently..."

Having made up his mind, Lin Yuan put away the Earth Demon Puppet and released the Fallen Heart Flame from his body.

"Shadow clone." He quickly formed a seal and a shadow clone separated out.

Lin Yuan sensed it and nodded. "Connected with the small sky network, it can maintain a long communication distance, which is enough to serve as the location coordinates."

Under this sea of ​​magma lies the ancient emperor's cave, the situation below is unknown, the depth is unknown, and the area is extremely vast. If you barge in recklessly and encounter an accident, it is not impossible to get lost.

If you get lost and have no coordinates to return, that would be very troublesome, because there is a very powerful group of fire lizards in this lava sea.

This area adjacent to the Dou Di Cave Mansion cannot be overestimated.

Lin Yuan now will not be careless just because of his foresight, as this is a matter of life and death.

Everything was ready. Lin Yuan's mind moved, and the Fallen Heart Flame expanded. Then it surrounded Lin Yuan and turned into a flaming shuttle that wrapped around Lin Yuan.

"instigate--"

At a certain moment, the flame shuttle began to rotate at high speed like a drill.

"Puff-"

Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan moved his body and plunged into the sticky magma like a drill.

Feeling the high temperature and high pressure coming from all directions, Lin Yuan sighed and said, "As expected of the location of that cave, this magma sea is much hotter than the magma sea where the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was born."

Then, his eyes became slightly stern, and after finding the direction that the Fallen Heart Flame Spirit had sensed, he controlled the fire shuttle and shot towards that direction.
-
In the boundless magma, all you see is red, and a flame shuttle is silently but quickly diving downwards.

In the flame shuttle, Lin Yuan's eyes were solemn, trying to avoid making any loud noises. The flame lizards living under this magma, although their vision had deteriorated greatly, their hearing and perception were quite good.

Not long ago, he had encountered a team of fire lizards. Fortunately, those were just some Dou Ling and Dou Wang level lizardmen.

The moment he met them, Lin Yuan killed them all with lightning speed without exposing himself.

A few minutes later.

Lin Yuan put several energy-rich red beads into the storage ring, then took a long breath, withdrew the soul power that blocked the surroundings, and then put away the three demon puppets, but his eyes became more solemn.

"Damn it, what day is today? Why are there so many fire lizards patrolling? Fortunately, I blocked the battlefield with my soul power in the first place."

"Fortunately, we're almost there!" Lin Yuan continued to dive.

Soon, the invisible flames on Lin Yuan's body shot out a beam of fire, illuminating a patch of magma not far below.

Afterwards, the magma suddenly began to wriggle slowly, and then a transparent halo emitting a faint light emerged from the magma vortex.

"Hey, is this... a barrier?"

Lin Yuan smiled lightly, his eyes swept through the aperture, and a skeleton that had turned into dry bones appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, his body flashed and he rushed into the aperture. When he penetrated the aperture, there seemed to be a soul wave sweeping through, and after sensing the Falling Heart Flame, it retreated on its own initiative. Lin Yuan was able to enter the aperture smoothly.

Lin Yuan landed beside the skeleton, his face deliberately showing a bit of surprise, "Is this the remains of a powerful person? And there is another Fallen Heart Flame... a juvenile?"

The Fallen Heart Flame in front of you is still in its larval stage.

Although it has the essence and status of a strange fire, in terms of power, it lacks the accumulation of a long time and is far inferior to the mature Fallen Heart Flame in Lin Yuan's hands. It is even inferior to the Heart Flame Sub-Fire that Lin Yuan had previously spawned.

Lin Yuan stared at the young flame of the Fallen Heart Flame and said softly, "It was you who called the Fallen Heart Flame? The other Fallen Heart Flame."

"It's not this, it's the old man."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright white light suddenly burst out from the glowing skeleton. The white light slowly gathered, and after a moment, an illusory figure appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

This man was dressed in a white robe, his hair and beard were snow-white, his face was old, and his plain eyes flashed with a faint brilliance. After his body was completely condensed, a faint pressure and calm demeanor spread out.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan performed a junior salute and said in a deep voice: "What a fate. Junior Lin Yuan greets the senior!"

The old man did not respond to Lin Yuan immediately, but waved to the Fallen Heart Flame beside Lin Yuan.

However, the Fallen Heart Flame remained motionless.

“Huh?” Upon seeing this, the old man in white robes closed his eyes and sensed it for a while. A trace of doubt rose between his brows: “It is indeed the Fallen Heart Flame, but… it’s so strange. It is indeed it… but it is not the same as before. It seems to have been tamed… but not refined. This is really…”

As the previous owner of the Fallen Heart Flame, he just tried to summon it, but the Fallen Heart Flame did not respond to him at all.

Hearing the other party's words, Lin Yuan smiled lightly.

He and the Fallen Heart Flame had a soul connection, so he naturally knew the other party's movements, but he didn't care too much.

Today's Fallen Heart Flame is almost Lin Yuan's flame clone, completely controlled by him, and no one can control it without his permission.

"Senior, are you familiar with the Fallen Heart Flame? May I ask what it is called?" Lin Yuan asked.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, the old man in white robe stopped waving, and then smiled with a bit of pride, saying: "I am Yao Tianhuo, and sometimes people call me Venerable Tianhuo. I am also the former owner of this Fallen Heart Flame."

“Your Excellency?” Lin Yuan cupped his hands and said, “I didn’t expect to meet a venerable senior here. I’m so sorry!”

Lin Yuan was quite respectful in his words, but his face was calm and composed.

Realizing that Lin Yuan was extraordinary, Venerable Tianhuo acted decisively and immediately gave up many of his planned probing moves.

A trace of desolation flashed across his face, and he sighed, "Your Excellency, that was only in the past. Things in the world change constantly. Now, I am just a remnant soul under the sea of ​​fire. I only have a little bit of soul power left that is about to be exhausted. With your strength, it is enough to kill me completely."

“Senior, please don’t overthink it.” Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, “I have heard of the name of Skyfire Venerable and I respect him very much.”

“Oh?” Skyfire Venerable was slightly startled, then a smile appeared on his face, and he said, “I didn’t expect that there are still people who have heard of my name. It’s really touching…”

“Haha!” Lin Yuan smiled and said meaningfully: “I don’t know about others, but at least here, your name is well-known. After all, your famous skill, the Five-Whirl Fire Separation Technique, is something I have always longed for.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers, and the Fallen Heart Flame condensed gently at his fingertips.
