Chapter 242 Six-Star Dou Zong
"A lot of things have changed in the years since you disappeared."

Venerable Feng said in a deep voice: "You may not know that Mang Tianchi has made a great progress and become a semi-saint. You know his protective nature. If something really happens, it will be a difficult ending..."

Speaking of the word "half-saint", even Venerable Feng couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in his eyes.

In the Douqi Continent, Dou Zun strongmen are generally called top strongmen, and they are the top fighting forces of all the major forces. But top does not mean peak. In this world, peak belongs to the strongmen of a higher level...

Now that the Dou Emperor has become history, the simple word "Saint" represents the pinnacle of this world.

And Half Saint is the most important foundation before entering the Fighting Saint level.

The greatest significance of reaching the semi-saint level is not the enhancement of combat power, but breaking through the abyss of heaven and truly possessing the qualifications to step into the level of fighting saint and become a peak powerhouse!

In a force, people who have reached the saint level and people who have not reached the saint level are two completely different concepts.

Without a saint-level figure, one would not even be qualified to receive an invitation letter from the eight ancient clans.

"Did he break through to the semi-saint level? In just a few decades, the world is really unpredictable." Yao Lao sighed, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, although we have planned to seize the fire, we have given up before."

"After all, there is a remarkable person in Canaan Academy. To have an additional enemy like that just for a strange fire... it's not worth it!"

"Lin Yuan? He is indeed a... scary person."

Venerable Feng's face was slightly grim, and he said in a deep voice: "I thought you were the one who caused the pill thunder while refining the medicine, but I didn't expect it was him. A Dou Zong who is less than 20 years old, and a seventh-grade alchemist, this kind of talent and ability... is enough to make the younger generation in Zhongzhou ashamed."

"How can such a person come from a remote place like the Black Horn Region? Old man, didn't you train that kid?"

"No!" Yao Lao shook his head.

His tone became more distant: "Although he has some relationship with me, I really didn't teach him! Moreover, he is not a seventh-grade alchemist, but an eighth-grade alchemist... and an eighth-grade three-color alchemist."

"What... Eighth grade, three colors? Are you kidding?" Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng couldn't help but be a little shocked.

I have a friend named Yao Lao, who is very knowledgeable about the art of alchemy.

"If those alchemists in Zhongzhou who are already gray-haired and spend all day practicing medicine know that there is an eighth-grade three-color alchemist who is less than 20 years old, how will they react? Wouldn't they just buy a piece of tofu and kill themselves?"

Hearing this, Yao Lao sighed and said, "There is no other way. In the art of alchemy, talent is so important..."

Afterwards, he began to recount to Venerable Feng his experiences over the years in detail, including the causes and events between himself, Xiao Yan, Lin Yuan, and the Ancient Clan.

“Oh my God! So many things happened in just four years?” Venerable Feng rubbed his forehead.

He looked at Yao Lao meaningfully, and said playfully, "Old fellow, you are still the same as before, getting into trouble wherever you go. Now, you are only a soul body left, and you still can't calm down."

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao smiled faintly: "Isn't this kind of life pretty good? Besides, I didn't gain nothing this time..."

"Oh?" Venerable Feng raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"

“Hehe!” Yao Lao smiled, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes, “If I can be resurrected successfully and go through a great upheaval, maybe I will have a chance to reach that level…”

"You mean... a half-saint?" Venerable Feng's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Great, I'll prepare the materials for the resurrection. We'll use the best."

"I have the strange fire from the trade with Lin Yuan, and I have collected all of them. As for the bone-growing and blood-melting pill, you have the five-color pill thunder pill. As for the body, I have the skeleton of a four-star Dou Zun. As for the magic beast essence blood, the space trade fair will open soon, I will go and exchange it for some eighth-level essence blood."

"I'm really looking forward to the day when you become a saint! Half-Saint Pavilion Master, I'm really looking forward to it..."

Afterwards, Venerable Feng glanced at Xiao Yan and chuckled, "Xiao Yan already has an opponent like Lin Yuan, a competitor like the Ancient Clan Talent, and a powerful enemy like the Soul Palace! As a teacher, you have to stand up and become a Dou Sheng as soon as possible..."

"Haha, I am also looking forward to that day. As for the Soul Palace, I am not done with them yet."

As he spoke, Yao Lao's eyes showed a bit of deep hatred. The revenge for his life and the decades of lingering life were not things that could be easily forgotten...

"By the way, old man, do you want to inform Xuan Yi and Hua Qing about your news? They have been looking for you for a long time..."

"They... let's not leave them for now. Everything will be settled after I recover my physical body."

"Hey, when it comes to relationships, you're always... Tsk!"

As the old friends were happily reminiscing and teasing each other, the giant eagle flapped its huge wings, broke through the sky, and headed towards Zhongzhou.
-
After returning to the inner courtyard, Lin Yuan went straight back to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

In this round of alchemy, he successfully refined six seventh-grade pills. He worked non-stop for more than a month, and the amount of mental energy he consumed during this period was quite horrible. Even though he was an eighth-grade alchemist, he was quite exhausted.

The next day, when the morning sunlight entered the room, Lin Yuan slowly opened his sleepy eyes.

He sat up slowly, yawned long, stretched his body, and released more than a month's fatigue and dreams.

"Cool--"

With a soft groan, Lin Yuan's mind returned to clarity.

During the retreat, he did not get up immediately, but sat cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes lazily, making cultivation seals with his hands, and a hot breath swirled around his body as he breathed in and out.

After regulating his breathing for half an hour, he opened his eyes again, and his eyes had returned to their usual deepness.

"It's time to completely refine the demonic poison spots!"

With a gleam of brilliance in his eyes, Lin Yuan tore open his clothes to reveal the demonic poison spot on his chest. From the naked eye, the size of this spot was less than a quarter of its original size.

Through alchemy and Fallen Heart Flame, Lin Yuan has completed the tempering of his Dou Qi, and his Dou Qi is extremely condensed.

Now is the time to completely refine the evil poison spots.

"Haha!" With a light laugh, Lin Yuan's fingertips gently stroked the poison spots on his chest, "Yao Lao and Xiao Yan have already left. I don't need to hide anymore..."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and the Qianlan Heart Flame burst out from the Dark Sea Ring. Along with his thoughts, it poured into his body and condensed around the magic poison spot. A terrifying temperature was released.

The blazing heat caused the demonic poison spots to fluctuate violently, and waves of black mist spread out...

Seeing this, Lin Yuan quickly changed the seals in his hands.

In an instant, the ice-blue flame wrapped around the magic poison spot suddenly spun at high speed.

In just a moment, nine vortexes of flames had already condensed. The nine vortexes of flames rushed towards the magic poison spot, cutting it into nine parts, and each vortex wrapped a part of the magic poison spot.

"Qianlan Lihuo!"

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed, and the seal on his hand suddenly changed.

Nine whirlpools of flames intertwined and converged to form an ice-blue flame lotus. Nine pitch-black magic poison spots 'lotus seeds' were separated and wrapped in it.

"Refining——"

With a light shout, the Ice Blue Fire Lotus released a terrifying high temperature that could burn the sky and boil the sea, and began to separate and refine the evil poison spots!
At the same time, powerful soul power surged out from between Lin Yuan's brows and was injected into the ice-blue fire lotus. Just like extracting medicinal herbs, it extracted and condensed the "poison essence" in the magic poison spots bit by bit during the refining process.

For Lin Yuan now, refining the devil poison spots is not difficult, it only takes a little time...

During the monotonous refining process, time began to pass slowly.
-
Two days later.

In the quiet room, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, with white mist coming out from his nostrils with his deep breathing. His chest was already smooth, and the demonic poison spots had completely disappeared.

Lin Yuan's aura was stronger than ever before. Just sitting cross-legged on the bed, he exuded a sense of presence that could not be ignored.

In his body, the vast fighting spirit was like a raging flood, rushing through his meridians at high speed with a roaring sound, impacting the "barrier" in the dark.

"Click——"

Finally, at a certain moment, a subtle sound was heard, and the mysterious "barrier" was broken.

At this moment, the slight swelling and pain that Lin Yuan felt due to the excessive fighting spirit in his body completely dissipated; instead, an indescribable feeling of comfort permeated and spread throughout his body...

Along with this feeling of comfort, his aura surged, breaking through the current peak in an instant, and then continued to climb rapidly...

Lin Yuan's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and a hint of ice-blue fire flashed in his deep eyes.

Exhaling a breath, he slowly walked down from the bed.

Lin Yuan's mind moved immediately, and his fighting spirit gathered in his meridians, emitting a low roar like a flood. The feeling of this power made Lin Yuan's soul tremble. This fascinating feeling...

"happy!"

A vast aura quickly surged out of his body.

"Roar--"

A clear and long whistle resounded from the small courtyard and soared into the sky...

The whistling sound was mixed with an extremely powerful fighting spirit, like thunder, which kept echoing in the sky above the inner courtyard, spreading to every corner of the inner courtyard, and waking up many elders and students who were sleeping.

Suddenly, the whistling sound like thunder slowly dissipated.

"Jie Jie!"

With a light chuckle, Lin Yuan slowly clenched his fist.

As he clenched his fist, the terrifying aura that was lingering in the inner courtyard slowly converged back towards the small courtyard.

When Lin Yuan's fist was fully clenched, his powerful strength, momentum and aura were completely restrained; his sharp eyes that were as bright as stars were once again hidden under his eyes as deep as the abyss.

Feeling an unprecedented sense of fullness in his body, Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

"Six-star Dou Zong, mid-stage!"

"With this level of cultivation and many trump cards, I can now fight even against ordinary Dou Zun masters."

"Next, it's time to help the Little Medical Immortal condense the poison pill..."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan tidied himself up and took a step forward. The space rippled slightly. His figure, which was glowing with purple light, walked directly into the void with ease and disappeared into the room.

The next moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the void above the courtyard, and Lin Yuan stepped out of it.

With a satisfied smile, Lin Yuan turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the back mountain.
-
Inner courtyard, back mountain.

Deep in the endless mountains at the back of the mountain, there is a valley with an extremely beautiful environment. Before refining the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, Lin Yuan took great pains to find this valley in order to successfully perform the method of ascending the spirit.

In this valley, the composition of the energy of heaven and earth is quite mysterious, and the content of spiritual energy is far greater than that of other places.

At this time, Little Medical Fairy was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed in the sea of ​​flowers in the valley.

She made mysterious seals on her hands and as the Tianxin Soul Technique was activated, the space around her was also rippling with strange fluctuations. Wisps of spiritual energy separated from the energy of heaven and earth and merged into her brows.

With the incorporation of spiritual energy into her mouth, Little Medical Fairy's tremendous spiritual power was subtly but steadily enhanced.

Suddenly, her eyes trembled slightly, then slowly opened their tightly closed eyes, stood up and looked towards the distant sky.

The next moment, a green light spot on the edge of the sky suddenly appeared in her sight, and then a green stream of light flew over from the distant sky.

In a few blinks of an eye, the stream of light flew above the valley, then trembled slightly, and turned into countless light points and dissipated. Among them, Lin Yuan stepped on the void and slowly fell from the sky in front of the little medical fairy.

"Little Medical Fairy, I haven't seen you for a month. How is your progress so far?" Lin Yuan asked directly without any politeness.

"It's the late Mortal Realm." Little Medical Fairy smiled elegantly and said thoughtfully: "It's only one step away from the peak of the Mortal Realm. The effect of the Soul-Clearing Orchid is truly extraordinary."

Qinghun Youlan is similar to Qihuan Qingling Saliva. It is an extremely rare treasure that can directly increase the power of the soul.

Lin Yuan destroyed and plundered many forces. Although these soul-type treasures are rare, he still got some.

However, most of the medicinal herbs obtained in the northwest are of low grade, and there is not even a single herb that can have an effect on the spirit realm soul. From a certain perspective, it is not without reason that the northwest is called a remote and poor place by the people of Zhongzhou.

Although Qinghun Youlan cannot work on souls in the spiritual realm, it still has some effect on souls in the late mortal realm.

Now it seems that the effect is really good, helping Xiao Yixian to improve a lot of his soul power.

“Is it only one step away from the peak of the Mortal Realm?” Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, “Is the seal of the Evil Poison Body still strong? How long will it take?”

As Xiao Yixiang's cultivation level improves, the sealing effect of the Tiandu Fire Seal is also weakening.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixian confirmed the seal again before replying, "Don't worry, the Tiandu Fire Seal is still very strong and can last at least another year."

"One year... this consumption rate..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan quickly calculated in his mind. After a moment, he confirmed that the damage to the seal caused by the breakthrough in cultivation was within the limit, so he said: "In this case, you should make a breakthrough in cultivation before condensing the poison pill! This is for you..."

As he spoke, he took out the last Zong Yuan Dan from the You Hai Ring and handed it to Xiao Yixian.

"This is Zong Yuan Dan, which can help Dou Zong upgrade one star!"

"And this!" Lin Yuan opened his mouth and spit out a longan-sized, ice-blue flame lotus. In the center of the ice-blue lotus was an extremely dark and strange black poisonous 'lotus seed'.

"This is the poison essence I extracted when I refined the remaining demonic poison spots. It should be able to help you."

Little Medical Fairy said nothing and silently accepted the two things.

Lin Yuan smiled, and there was a hint of expectation in his voice: "You are now at the peak of the six-star Dou Zong. With these two things, you should be able to break through to the eight-star Dou Zong! Increasing your cultivation by two stars may help you reach the peak of the mortal realm..."

"When you complete the realm breakthrough, we will condense the poison pill and solve the problem of the outbreak of the evil poison body. From now on, we will..."

At this point, Lin Yuan looked straight at the Little Medical Fairy, with an inexplicable burning look in his eyes...

When the little medical fairy saw this, a blush crept up her cheeks.

Thinking of Medusa's "provocation" before, she took a deep breath, took the initiative to hug Lin Yuan, whispered in his ear "wait for my good news", and then fled into a secluded cave in the valley...

"Hehe, it's still an interesting reaction!" Looking at the back of the Little Medical Fairy, Lin Yuan smiled knowingly.

Then, Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts, waved his sleeves, took out the demon puppet from the Dark Sea Ring, opened it, and took out a "stone" filled to the extreme with thunder element.

It would take several days for Xiao Yixian to break through in seclusion, and he also had a lot of things to do...
