Chapter 234: Pill Recipe, Soul Palace Standard

As the thick thunderclouds above the sky dissipated, warm sunlight once again poured down from the sky, sprinkling into the valley and hitting the Sky Demon Puppet. A brilliant golden color shone above the sky.

"Finally succeeded..."

Looking at the golden puppet standing in the air, a hint of heat flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Just now, when the last ray of silver on the Heavenly Demon Puppet turned into gold, he could faintly feel that a drastic change had taken place in its body. It was a qualitative change different from the past.

"Come back! Heavenly Demon Puppet..."

As Lin Yuan's order sounded, the Heavenly Demon Puppet stepped on the ground, and the space suddenly twisted. Then there was a "hiss" sound, and the Heavenly Demon Puppet appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

A hidden and powerful aura lingered faintly around it.

The old demon had only been dead for a few months, but the strength of his corpse had reached a level that would have been difficult to achieve when he was alive.

Looking at the golden puppet in front of him and sensing its extremely powerful aura, Lin Yuan's mouth curled up slightly. This Heavenly Demon Puppet was the first Dou Zun-level combat power he had ever seen, a Dou Zun-level combat power that he completely controlled.

With this Heavenly Demon Puppet, Lin Yuan now has the confidence to roam the northwest.

"It has advanced to become a Dou Zun level puppet!"

Watching the demon puppet advance before his eyes and feeling its powerful aura, even Yao Lao couldn't help but let out a low exclamation.

"A Dou Zun-level puppet..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with heat. Looking at the Heavenly Demon Puppet guarding Lin Yuan, he couldn't help but touch the storage ring on his hand. It was a Dou Zun-level puppet - he also had a puppet with this kind of potential.

Now Xiao Yan finally understood why Xun'er was willing to spend a huge price to get this puppet for him.

Medusa, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, the three girls were also looking at Lin Yuan with great excitement at this moment...

On the stone platform, after completing the preliminary investigation of the Heavenly Demon Puppet, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he said: "Since you have advanced to the Heavenly Demon Puppet, you are qualified to be named by me. From now on, you will be 'Earth Demon·Puppet One', or Puppet One for short!"

With a light laugh, Lin Yuan put Guiyi into the storage ring. Now was not the time to test its various indicators. Now...

Lin Yuan's gaze shifted slightly and looked at the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill in front of him.

As if responding to him, rich spiritual energy emerged around the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, and soon transformed into a half-meter-long blood-red dragon that flew away into the distance.

The eighth-grade five-colored elixir is close to living beings and already has the instinct to survive.

Lin Yuan glanced at Yao Lao leisurely and chuckled, "Senior Yao, your Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill is about to run away..."

Hearing this, Yao Lao waved his hand casually and said, "Haha, leave it to me." Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed out and appeared in front of the bloody little dragon in an instant. He disintegrated its body with one palm and held the dark red pill firmly in his hand.

Afterwards, he moved and flashed back to Xiao Yan's side. Under the latter's curious eyes, he put the pill into the jade bottle and put it into the Bone Inflammation Ring.

One more condition for resurrection was met. Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief, smiled happily, and looked towards the stone platform, only to see...

Lin Yuan's face turned pale, his breath weakened, and he staggered back two steps.

After the alchemy was finished, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed at this moment. During the alchemy and spiritual ascension process, the fatigue that had been forcibly suppressed suddenly surged into his heart, and he also felt dizzy in his head.

The soul-raising method consumes a terrifying amount of soul power, not to mention that it is performed without soul-raising dust...

"Lin Yuan, are you okay?"

"Lin Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

Charming, gentle voices rang out at the same time. Little Medical Fairy and Medusa flashed and came to Lin Yuan's side. Their hands stretched out almost at the same time, showing a gesture of supporting him, and then... their hands stopped at the same time.

The wind suddenly became silent; the scene suddenly became stagnant!

Seeing this, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, who were not far away, also fell silent unconsciously. The corners of their mouths curled up slightly, and they looked at Lin Yuan, who was in the center of the storm, with interest...

Hey, you have many female friends!
Lin Yuan looked at the two snow-white hands in front of him, and the word "danger" appeared in his mind.

At this critical moment, a heavenly voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Yuan, "Sir, are you okay? I have something important to tell you later..."

Before she finished her words, Qing Lin had already flashed behind Lin Yuan, directly took the latter's arm into her arms, and pulled his body and sight over. In the blind spot of her sight, she playfully blinked her green crystal eyes at Lin Yuan.

A trace of gratitude flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he quickly said, "Is it important? Okay, we'll talk seriously later..."

Seeing Lin Yuan's eyes, Qing Lin nodded, feeling a little more proud in his heart.

As Xiao Yixian's "little sister" and Medusa's "disciple", Qinglin almost enjoys "immunity" in some matters. Coupled with the excuse of "important matters", her intervention was a natural thing, and the heavy atmosphere on the scene disappeared in an instant.

Lin Yuan let out a light breath, looked at Yao Lao and Xiao Yan who had somewhat disappointed expressions, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"cough--"

Noticing Lin Yuan's eyes, Yao Lao coughed lightly and walked over with Xiao Yan, "Lin Yuan, thank you very much this time. According to the agreement, I'll give this to you first..."

As he spoke, he formed a series of complicated hand seals, and after a moment's pause, his old fingers touched his forehead.

"point--"

With a loud shout, Yao Lao slowly withdrew his fingers from his brows, and a ray of extremely cold white flame was drawn out, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Yao Lao's soul and Bone Spirit Cold Fire are combined extremely closely...

“Here!” Suppressing the feeling of weakness from the separation of the seed fire, Yao Lao flicked his fingers and handed the wisp of white flame to Lin Yuan, saying in a deep voice: “I have completely erased the soul mark in this wisp of seed fire, you can use it without worry…”

"Thank you, Senior Yao!" Lin Yuan nodded and took the fire.

After a pause, Yao Lao continued, "What you delivered is the eighth-grade five-color bone-growing and blood-melting pill, which exceeds my expectations. I am not a person who likes to take advantage, so I will give you a roll of the eighth-grade pill formula as an additional reward! Here..."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll of green pill recipe from his Bone Inflammation Ring and threw it to Lin Yuan.

"You know how to refine the body, so this pill should be useful!"

"Fuling Qingdan, an eighth-grade two-color pill, can help people with declining strength quickly recover a certain level of cultivation. Now that you have also learned the method of spiritual improvement, you can use the method of spiritual improvement to forcibly improve the quality of this pill. I believe there will be some surprises..."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up and he took the recipe, feeling that it was effortless.

He had originally been planning to ask Yao Lao to exchange it for the recipe of Fuling Qingdan pill.

This pill is quite useful for Lin Yuan. In addition to helping Venerable Tianhuo or others to quickly restore their strength to the peak after their resurrection, it can also achieve sustainable harvests when he uses the "Demon Flame Spot" to gather everyone's strength for cultivation.

Putting the Fuling Qingdan recipe into his ring, Lin Yuan bowed and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Senior Yao!"
-
After returning to the medicine garden, Lin Yuan went straight back to his room and fell asleep. This time, he spent more energy on refining the medicine than before. During the refining process, he constantly incorporated spiritual energy to raise the grade of the medicine. In addition, he used the method of raising the spirit to forcibly increase the spirituality of the medicine, which almost exhausted all of Lin Yuan's soul power.

It was not until the next day that Lin Yuan woke up. Although he was still a little tired, he still had things to deal with.

Qinglin said that there was something "important" to discuss, and although it was somewhat meant to help him out, judging from the girl's personality, it must be something really important.

Lin Yuan walked out of the room and found Qing Lin in the courtyard.

At this moment, she was watering the potted plants in the yard with great interest. Under the bright sun, her mature and seductive curves faintly revealed from her green dress, which made Lin Yuan confirm one thing again - this girl has really grown up.

Hearing the noise, Qing Lin turned around, and when he saw Lin Yuan, his eyes lit up with joy, "Master, you're awake!"

"Yeah, I'm awake." Lin Yuan nodded and asked softly, "Qing'er, didn't you say you had something important to discuss with me? What is this important matter?"

Hearing Lin Yuan's question, a trace of solemnity flashed in Qinglin's eyes.

She put down the kettle, walked up to Lin Yuan, took out a file from her ring and handed it to Lin Yuan.

"Sir, by chance, I discovered that there are some suspicious people in the academy who are secretly spying on your movements. After I investigated, I found that they are related to the Soul Palace. This is the result of my investigation in the past few days..."

"This matter involves a Soul Palace Earth-level guardian, Guardian Xuan, so I did not act rashly and alert the enemy."

Due to Lin Yuan's deliberate training and the delicate mind formed by his childhood experiences, Qing Lin is very sensitive and excellent in intelligence. When he habitually set up the Sky Dome Network in the hospital, he was very keen to discover suspicious people, and then followed the clues to find out...

"Soul Palace?"

Hearing the word "long time no see", a trace of solemnity suddenly flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Although he currently has the Heavenly Demon Puppet and the combat power of a Dou Zun level, facing the abyss of the Soul Palace, a mere Dou Zun cannot even make a splash if thrown in.

He took the file and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he closed it and fell into deep thought.

"Protector Xuan started to pay attention to me after I refined the Supreme Beginning Pill. So, I was targeted because of my alchemy skills. Alchemy skills..."

"Speaking of which, the Soul Palace's attitude towards Yao Lao is also very strange."

"In the original destiny, Soul Palace didn't use heavy hands on Yao Lao after they captured him. As for extracting his original soul energy, it was more like using it as a means to force him to submit and serve Soul Palace, rather than coveting his original soul energy."

"Excellent alchemist, the soul clan's thousand-year plan, the emperor-grade young pill..."

Many clues connected in his mind. At a certain moment, Lin Yuan seemed to have figured something out. His eyes suddenly narrowed. "Could it be... that further confirmation is needed!"

Thinking of this, he brought Qinglin into the room, and a tremendous amount of soul power surged out, completely blocking and isolating the inside and outside of the courtyard.

Then, Lin Yuan flicked his finger, and a pitch-black box flashed out and hung in the air...

With a hook of his finger, a slight force opened the black box, and a faint black mist flew out of the box and gathered into an illusory soul shadow in front of Lin Yuan. Looking closely, it was the long-lost guardian Wu.

The moment the guardian Wu appeared, I felt a terrifying pressure coming over my heart.

This was pressure from the depths of his soul, a pressure that he could not resist at all. When he looked up and saw the source of the pressure—Lin Yuan, his eyes suddenly shrank. How long had it been since this person had improved to this point?

Kneeling on one knee, the guardian Wu said respectfully, "Wu Ying greets you, sir. Please give me your instructions."

"Guardian Wu!" Lin Yuan looked at him calmly and said calmly, "Answer my question. Have the Soul Palace leaders issued any orders related to alchemists?"

Dharma Protector Wu pondered for a while, organized his words, and then began to explain.

"Sir, although our guardians are weak, they are the most basic nodes of the Soul Palace. They also have the functions of collecting souls and acting as spies. There are many orders in the palace that are directly issued to the guardians by the top leaders, among which there are special orders for alchemists."

"The top leaders have issued an order that if you encounter or visit an extremely talented alchemist, you should capture him if you can, and report the information if you cannot."

"Oh?" Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked carefully: "This talent is extremely high, are there any specific standards?"

Although Lin Yuan was still asking, when he heard the words "extremely talented", he could already conclude that he definitely met the standards set by the Soul Palace.

An eighth-grade alchemist who is less than twenty years old is so talented that even the younger generation of the medicine clan would find it difficult to surpass him.

Outside of the Yao Clan, Zhongzhou Dan Chen could become an eighth-grade alchemist at the age of eighteen. In terms of soul talent, she might be able to catch up with Lin Yuan. However, if Dan Chen did not change, she would be doomed to lack stamina, and her cultivation would become her biggest limitation.

To advance in alchemy, one needs to develop both the soul and fighting spirit. If there is an obvious shortcoming in any one of them, the subsequent achievements will be greatly limited.

As for the combination of the two, he is confident that he is the most talented.

Even without the blessing of Doudi blood, he still has a lot of ideas for "cheating". Although he might do something cruel when he has to, generally speaking, it's not a big problem...

Reaching the top can solve all problems.

And if he succeeds on his way to the top, he will write history; if he fails, he will die and the subsequent flood will not matter.

Lin Yuan is generous in giving kindness to others and the world, but when it comes to taking ruthless action, he will not hesitate at all.

However, showing off one's talent is also a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, this talent will bring him great fame and influence, allowing him to thrive in Zhongzhou;

On the other hand, for the Soul Palace or the Soul Clan, a genius who does not have a big background but has top-level talent in alchemy is undoubtedly the best prey.

As long as the Soul Palace Soul Clan needs an alchemist, it is almost inevitable that they will target Lin Yuan...

Soon, the words of the protector Wu confirmed Lin Yuan’s guess.

"It says above that we must reach the sixth rank before the age of 20, the seventh rank before the age of 25, and the eighth rank before the age of 40. These are all goals that must be reported!" said the guardian Wu cautiously.

"Sure enough!" Lin Yuan frowned and thought to himself, "Next, there may be a lot of trouble..."

He exceeded this standard by a lot. It was almost certain that as long as his information was reported by Protector Xuan, he, who had no powerful background, would most likely be the focus of attention of the Soul Palace.

Given the style of the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan, tacit understanding, rules and face cannot restrain them at all.

If the Soul Palace was recruiting alchemy geniuses in order to advance plans related to the Emperor Pill, then Lin Yuan's current talent, his status as the Grand Elder of Canaan College, and even the protection of the Mang Tian Ruler would not be able to stop the Soul Palace from taking action against him.

"It's troublesome, but now that things have come to this, we have to face it!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Guardian Wu, tell me the process of your report..."
