Chapter 223 Modulation, Breakthrough, and Following the Trend
Inner courtyard, in a valley deep in the back mountain.

Three streams of light descended from the sky, revealing the figures of Lin Yuan, Xiao Yixian and Zi Yan.

Looking at the beautiful valley full of various medicinal herbs in front of him, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the energy of this place.

"What a great place!" When Lin Yuan opened his eyes, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"The spiritual energy content in the energy of heaven and earth here is higher than in other places. It seems that the closer a place is to nature and the more medicinal herbs there are in the mountains, the more spiritual energy there is in the energy of heaven and earth."

"It's decided. Let's impact the spiritual realm right here."

Today, three days have passed since Lin Yuan refined the Zunshi Pill.

During this period, he was not in a hurry to continue refining pills, but was preparing for the soul breakthrough. While studying the recipe for blending the earth's core soul, he was looking for a suitable place to retreat, and today he finally found this place.

The Little Medical Fairy looked at the valley and glanced at it, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, "It seems to be the valley near the Magic Beast Mountain Range in Qingshan Town."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan looked at Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian solemnly, and solemnly reminded them: "Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, you two protect me, I will impact the spiritual realm here! Before I come out, no one can disturb me..."

"Give it... to me!" Zi Yan said as she chewed the pill in her mouth.

"Just rest assured and retreat. I'm here, and no one will disturb your breakthrough!" The Little Medical Fairy nodded gently. Her voice was very gentle, but her will was extremely firm.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded, moved, and flew into a cave on the mountain wall.

A rumbling sound was heard, and the entrance of the cave suddenly closed...

This cave is not spacious, but it is enough for Lin Yuan to use.

He walked into the depths of the cave, took out a few moonlight stones from his ring, and embedded them on the stone wall. The dark cave suddenly became brighter.

After briefly inspecting and arranging the cave, Lin Yuan took out the green lotus seat and placed it on a piece of bluestone.

Sitting cross-legged on the Green Lotus Seat, Lin Yuan's mind suddenly calmed down a lot.

After breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, although the bonus effect of the Green Lotus Seat on cultivation has been very limited, Lin Yuan feels inexplicably calm when sitting cross-legged on it.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly, adjusting the fluctuations of his mood and his own state.

The opportunity to break through the realm with the Earth's Core Soul Marrow is rare. Once wasted, it will take months or even years to make up for it. He needs to be fully prepared.

After all, the Earth Core Soul Marrow assists the soul in breaking through the realm, which increases the chance of breaking through, but does not guarantee success. Its effect is more similar to the Soul-Respecting Pill. Whether or not one can break through the realm ultimately depends on the practitioner himself.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan's soul talent is excellent. He has already reached the half-step spiritual realm and has the Tianxin Soul Art in his possession. He is undoubtedly qualified to break through.

Lin Yuan practiced the skills and soul techniques one after another, adjusting his fighting spirit and soul to perfection.

After a few hours, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes. In his deep eyes, there was no ripple, like a deep pool, unfathomable...

A breath slowly came out of his throat, and Lin Yuan touched the Dark Sea Ring with his finger. Three jade boxes then floated in front of him. He waved his sleeves lightly, and a wisp of delicate wind blew past, opening the three jade boxes at the same time.

With a hook of his finger, the earth's soul essence, elixir juice, and Gastrodia elata jade essence floated up and surrounded Lin Yuan.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance filled the cave.

As the strange fragrance entered his nose, Lin Yuan's spirit was instantly lifted, and his spiritual power became more active. "The Earth's Soul Marrow is indeed a miraculous medicine that is as valuable as an eighth-grade elixir!"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan waved his hand and an emerald green stone flew in front of him.

Lin Yuan glanced at the Gastrodia elata jade stone essence in front of him, and with a thought, a green flame began to burn fiercely, transforming into a green flame to refine it and wrap the green stone in it.

Under the high temperature, the surface of the Gastrodia Jadeite Essence quickly cracked into tiny cracks, and a very faint fishy smell wafted out from it.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan flicked his fingers and a thin wisp of energy hit the Tianma Jade Stone Essence. The latter made a 'crack' sound and pieces of gravel fell off it, revealing the pale white slurry hidden inside.

Under Lin Yuan's delicate control, the Green Fire Lotus removed the impurities in the white slurry one by one.

More than ten minutes later.

The fishy smell of the white slurry dissipated, and the Tianma Jade Essence was completely refined. Lin Yuan lightly snapped his fingers, and the Green Fire Lotus dissipated...

After completing the refining of the stone essence, Lin Yuan's face did not change. With a thought, a vast soul force surged out from between his eyebrows and was injected into the Earth's Core Soul Marrow, Danling Juice, and Gastrodia Jade Essence in front of him.

He lightly hooked his finger, and a tiny strand of liquid separated from each of the three pools of liquid.

Looking at the three tiny strands of liquid, Lin Yuan's eyes became more serious. The three kinds of herbs have different medicinal properties. They are both repulsive and complementary. They need to be mixed in a specific ratio to neutralize the Earth's Core Soul Marrow into a usable substance.

After going over the previously deduced plan in his mind, Lin Yuan began to put it into practice.

The three strands of slurry were once again divided by Lin Yuan into several strands of different proportions, and then he slowly began to merge them according to the proportion and sequence he had deduced before.

After that, there were repeated failures, repeated analyses, repeated summaries, and repeated improvements.

Two days passed in the monotonous process of dispensing medicine.

During these two days, Lin Yuan failed nine times in blending the Earth's Soul Essence, Danling Juice, and Tianma Jade Essence. Because of these nine failures, nearly a quarter of the three natural treasures were consumed, but the results were also gratifying...

I saw a wisp of emerald-like viscous slurry, exuding vitality, quietly suspended in the air.

"call--"

Looking at the sticky liquid in front of him, Lin Yuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, with a slight smile on his face: "It's done, the most suitable ratio has been found! The precise formula is there, and next... it's time to prepare the rest!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan packed up the prepared Earth Core Soul Essence and turned his attention to the remaining three treasures.

If one wants to achieve the transformation of the soul, this little bit of prepared earth soul marrow is certainly not enough.

However, with the first success and the precise formula, the next step became much easier. In just half a day, Lin Yuan successfully mixed the remaining three kinds of natural treasures.

Looking at the full bottle of emerald liquid, Lin Yuan's face showed a hint of joy. This much prepared earth core soul essence was enough to support this breakthrough...

"Next, the most important thing..."

Holding the jade bottle, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, he raised the jade bottle and drank all the essence of the earth's core.

The moment the Earth's core entered his body, Lin Yuan's head suddenly made a "buzzing" sound, and the soul power at the center of his eyebrows suddenly expanded at this moment, expanding so rapidly that Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. There was a sharp swelling pain at the center of his eyebrows, as if the soul was about to explode at this moment!
Lin Yuan suppressed his discomfort, calmed his mind, looked inward, and paid close attention to all the subtle changes in his body and soul...

The earth's core soul marrow that entered the body quickly turned into streams of strange dark green smoke, which continuously flowed towards the center of the eyebrows and finally entangled with the soul power entrenched there.

As the strange smoke and soul intertwined more and more, a powerful strange energy quickly penetrated into Lin Yuan's soul, tempering his soul. Under the tempering of this drug power, the strength of his soul began to increase suddenly at an astonishing rate!
"If you only have strong soul power, it is impossible to completely advance to the spiritual realm. You also need to use soul skills to speed up the refinement of spiritual energy."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan endured the pain in his soul and released the blood soul from the Dark Sea Ring. Immediately, his body and blood soul simultaneously activated the Tianxin Soul Technique.

As the Tianxin Soul Technique was performed, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth became turbulent, and wisps of spiritual energy overflowed from the space and rushed towards Lin Yuan's brows.

Spiritual energy continuously poured into Lin Yuan's brows and merged with the soul entrenched there. A sense of coolness emerged, and the severe pain caused by Lin Yuan's soul marrow in the earth's core was actually weakened a little at this moment.

And with the integration of spiritual energy, the green smoke formed by the soul marrow of the earth's core also underwent some strange changes.

The mist of the earth's soul marrow mixed with the spiritual energy and intertwined with Lin Yuan's soul and body more thoroughly. A strong attraction emanated from the center of Lin Yuan's eyebrows, constantly taking more spiritual energy into the center of his eyebrows and integrating it into his soul and body.

From the depths of his soul, he felt a tearing pain from time to time, and at this time, the spiritual energy also filled Lin Yuan's soul.

Under the infusion of this high concentration of spiritual energy, Lin Yuan's soul seemed to be trapped in a world of ice and fire, intertwined and turning between pain and comfort. The power of his soul became more tenacious and fierce, and the spiritual energy content in his soul became higher and higher.

The mysterious thing is that in this strange state, the operation of the Tianxin Soul Art is even smoother.

At a certain moment, Lin entered a special state of neither sadness nor joy. The Heavenly Heart Soul Art began to operate on its own. An invisible wave that was invisible to the naked eye spread out, penetrated the cave, passed through the mountain, and spread above the sky of the valley...

In an instant, the sky and earth of this mountain suddenly became turbulent, and huge spiritual energy gathered towards the cave.

This sudden riot naturally attracted the attention of Xiao Yixiang and Zi Yan, as well as many powerful magical beasts around.

“Such a huge amount of spiritual energy?” The Little Medical Immortal who had practiced the Heavenly Heart Soul Art could naturally sense the spiritual energy. She looked at the cave where Lin Yuan was in seclusion in surprise: “The Heavenly Heart Soul Art should not be able to achieve this kind of effect. It seems that his breakthrough was very smooth!”

At this moment, a beast roar faintly reached her ears.

Upon hearing this, the Little Medical Fairy's eyes suddenly became stern, "You are looking for death." Lin Yuan has entered a critical moment and he cannot be disturbed.

"Is it coming from that direction?" She looked towards the southwest, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her gray-purple eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "Zi Yan, keep an eye on this place, I'll go clean up the surroundings."

Zi Yan's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she said quickly, "I'll go! I'll go! Sister Xiao Yixian, you stay here to protect my brother, and I'll take care of the guys around..."

After saying that, she flew away without waiting for Little Medical Fairy to reply.

"This girl is still impatient!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yixian smiled helplessly and continued to look towards the cave, "I hope everything goes well this time!"

And in the cave.

Lin Yuan was already completely accustomed to the severe pain of soul refining. At this moment, he was completely immersed in the rich spiritual energy. The feeling of comfort deep in his soul was like being drunk, making him unwilling to wake up.

And at the center of his eyebrows, because of the huge infusion of spiritual energy, earth-shaking changes began to take place.

The soul power at the center of the eyebrows, nourished by the spiritual energy, slowly broke away from the previous state of nothingness. The majestic soul power gathered together, and occasionally, it would beat slightly like a heart, and an inexplicable vitality was stimulated in it.

As time went by, the Tianxin Soul Art ran more smoothly, and the agitation of the soul became more intense, as if something was gestating...
-
in the valley.

Time passed quietly like water. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan had been in seclusion for more than ten days.

The infusion of the majestic spiritual energy also lasted for nine days. On the ninth day, the strange phenomenon in the valley finally slowly dissipated, and the retreat cave also became quiet again... a strong breath was brewing in it.

Zi Yan sat on the bluestone with a bored look on her face, her legs dangling casually in the air.

"It's been so many days, why is it still not healed?" Zi Yan muttered as he looked at the cave entrance.

"After all, this time we are advancing our souls, so we can't rush it!" The Little Medical Fairy at the side opened her eyes, slowly put away the seals on her hands, looked at the direction of the cave entrance and said, "Wait a little longer, I can feel it, it should be soon."

"You're bullying me again. You've said this many times." Zi Yan curled her lips.

Before he finished his words, a loud and shocking sound suddenly sounded from the cave, and an invisible light and shadow suddenly rushed out of the cave and stayed in mid-air.

If one's eyes could penetrate the light, one would find that there was an illusory human figure in the light. The next moment, a vast soul power, with it as the center point, quickly swept out in all directions.

A huge sense of oppression instantly enveloped the surrounding area.

Under this sense of oppression, many monsters all felt an extremely strong spiritual pressure, and their bodies all trembled unconsciously...

Even Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian couldn't help but look a little more serious.

“It seems that Lin Yuan succeeded!” The figure of Skyfire Venerable emerged and said with emotion: “A soul in the spiritual realm less than 20 years old, this is really beyond my imagination. There are always talented people in every generation!”

The illusory figure in the sky and the vast soul power made even him feel frightened.

This level of soul power has completely surpassed his peak period.

Thinking of this, Venerable Tianhuo couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

He taught Xiao Yixiang for several months, and in the process he clearly understood that this group of geniuses in front of him were not only extremely talented, but also very generous to their own people, and he himself was already half of their own people.

Perhaps, when this group of geniuses grows up, I will be able to reach a level that I never dared to dream of before.

A few minutes later, the soul power that spread out like a tide slowly converged. The invisible light group in the sky also slowly dispersed the lingering light, revealing the illusory figure in it.

"Is this Lin Yuan's soul?" Little Medical Fairy murmured.

It was Lin Yuan's soul. When the soul realm completely reached the spiritual realm, it could achieve "soul leaving the body" without the help of any secret method.

Lin Yuan smiled at the people outside the cave, then flew towards the cave.

After Lin Yuan returned to the cave, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth soon began to violently riot. Above the valley, a huge energy vortex formed, sweeping in the energy of heaven and earth from all directions.

A powerful beam of energy shot straight into the cave.

"What is this?" Skyfire Venerable was surprised for a moment, then immediately looked at the cave entrance with admiration: "Good boy, you want to use the momentum of your soul breakthrough to break through your fighting spirit as well..."
