Chapter 250: A Pill
How rich is the family background of an eighth-grade alchemist at the Dou Zun level?
"I've made a fortune..."

Lin Yuan’s thoughts were limited to just these few words.

After breaking the soul mark on the ring on his hand and preliminarily exploring the ring, even Lin Yuan, who had destroyed sects and looted people in the northwest, was shocked at this moment. There was no other reason, but there were too many things in the ring.

Countless high-level medicinal materials were piled up in it, as well as numerous skills, fighting skills scrolls, high-level elixirs, and elixir recipes...

As an alchemist of the same generation as Yao Lao, Old Man Mu Gu, with the support of the Soul Palace, has collected a huge amount of pill recipes, which is the alchemist foundation that Lin Yuan needs most.

Even after trading with Yao Lao many times, Lin Yuan still had very limited high-level pill recipes on hand.

Originally, he planned to go to Zhongzhou, wear the Soul Palace vest, find some seventh- and eighth-grade alchemists to "borrow" some pill recipes, and help others refine medicine in exchange for pill recipes, so as to make up for his foundation in this area.

Choosing to connect with Gu Zhen and the Ancient Clan was, to a certain extent, for collecting fighting skills, pill recipes, and other things...

But now, despite some twists and turns, Mr. Mu Gu delivered the goods directly to his door, solving the big problem that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Hehehe, this vote that I worked so hard on... is worth it!"

"Robbing one's fellow thieves is indeed the best way to accumulate resources! These recipes alone have saved me several years of collecting. With them, I can do a lot more things, and my subsequent strength can also be improved more quickly."

In the art of alchemy, the grade of the medicine determined the depth of an alchemist, and the collection of pill recipes determined the breadth of an alchemist.

In other words, the quality of alchemy determines how serious the problem can be solved; the number of recipes determines how many types of problems can be solved.

The reason why Yao Lao is known as the number one alchemist on the continent is mainly due to his own alchemy skills and the huge amount of pill recipes he has collected.

As for Lin Yuan, since he was too young and did not have a strong background in the alchemy field, his depth had always far exceeded his breadth. It was only because of his trading channel with Yao Lao that this problem was kept hidden.

Now, he has obtained the treasure of old man Mu Gu, which has completely made up for this problem. In the future, he can be considered a "senior" eighth-grade alchemist.

"You are in a good mood, it seems that you have gained a good harvest!" said the Skyfire Master with a smile.

"Not only good, it's beyond my expectation!" Lin Yuan smiled and said calmly: "Senior, please take a look at this..."

As he spoke, he took out a pill recipe from Old Man Mu Gu and handed it to Venerable Tianhuo beside him. This recipe was Old Man Mu Gu's most treasured eighth-grade recipe, and it was also one of the most practical and popular eighth-grade recipes.

Venerable Skyfire took the ancient recipe and spread it out...

"One pill?"

A surprised voice sounded, and the Skyfire Venerable's face changed violently and said, "It turned out to be the legendary pill recipe. This time... I really made a fortune..."

A pill, an eighth-grade six-color pill, which can improve the cultivation level of Dou Zun by one star.

It was an extremely simple and direct effect, but it was enough to drive any Dou Zun crazy. In most cases, for a Dou Zun to increase his strength by one star, it would take him ten years.

Especially in the later stages of Dou Zun, even for geniuses from ancient ancestral lineages, it is very difficult to upgrade one star with sufficient resources.

There are many people who, unless they are from ancient ancestral lineage, cannot improve by one star even after practicing for ten or even dozens of years.

However, a tiny pill could save one from decades of hard training and directly improve one's rank by one star. How crazy it was.

It can be said that the status and influence of an eighth-grade alchemist who can refine a pill and an eighth-grade alchemist who cannot refine a pill are almost on two different levels among the Dou Zun powerhouses.

However, there are not many alchemists who can refine a pill, even in the entire continent, but...

Reverend Skyfire took a deep breath and handed the recipe back to Lin Yuan, who looked confident, with a slight smile on his face.

It must not take long for the heroic young man in front of him to have the ability to refine a pill! As a bystander, Venerable Tianhuo has absolute confidence in Lin Yuan's talent in cultivation and refining medicine.

“Senior Tianhuo, please keep an eye out for the medicinal materials for the Yizun Pill.” Lin Yuan took the recipe and chuckled, “I’ll help you refine one in a few years!”

"Thank you!" Venerable Skyfire nodded and said.

“You’re welcome!” Lin Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, “Regarding the improvement and deduction of the Five-Wheeled Fire Separation Method, as well as the expansion of the usage of the Strange Fire Array, I have some ideas. I need your help in completing them later…”

He attached great importance to the Five Wheels Fire Separation Technique. This unique skill that combined fighting skills, fire control, and formation was really to his liking.

"Oh? This is as it should be... What do you think?" Venerable Skyfire asked curiously.

"There are many ideas, such as adding an upper limit to the types of flames, turning five rounds into six or even seven rounds; adding more forms of flame attacks, such as the bow and arrow form..."

While Lin Yuan was counting and transferring the spoils, he was discussing the Five Wheels Fire Separation Technique with Skyfire Venerable.

after an hour.

“What I just said is my thoughts on the Five-Whirl Fire Separation Method.” Putting the last volume of the recipe into the Nether Sea Ring, Lin Yuan said in a deep voice: “I hope Senior Yao can assist me in the future and work with me to perfect these…”

"I understand."

Venerable Skyfire nodded, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and said: "What you proposed is indeed feasible. I will study it carefully later."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and chuckled, "Well, let's go back! The noise just now was really too loud, someone is coming from the academy..."

Lord Skyfire nodded and returned to the snow-white ring.

Lin Yuan stepped into the air and flew out of the huge pit of a hundred feet. He stood in the void and looked towards the southwest, where there were three familiar auras.

Soon, Su Qian and the two elders Qian Bai appeared in front of him.

After a brief greeting, the three of them looked at the huge pit hundreds of feet deep below at the same time.

The two elders looked at each other, with a hint of horror in their eyes. These were traces of a great battle, and it was not a Dou Zong level battle but a Dou Zun level battle. As powerful men who had been at the peak of Dou Zong for many years, the two were very confident in this judgment.

Thinking of this, the two looked closely at Lin Yuan, who was the first to arrive, and even...

Su Qian also took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Lin Yuan, what happened here?"

"It's nothing serious!" Lin Yuan looked at the three people and explained briefly: "There was a Dou Zun who wanted to kill me and take the strange fire. I had no choice but to set up a trap to kill him! Great Elder, this is for you. It's some of the spoils. I can't use it. Use it to enrich the foundation of the academy..."

As he spoke, he took out a few storage rings, raised his hand, and threw them to Su Qian.

“The spoils of war… ah?” Su Qian took the ring and finally realized what was happening. He looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief, “You killed… Dou Zun?”

"Let's go, we'll talk while we walk!" Lin Yuan said with a chuckle.

As he said that, he flew away first. Seeing this, Su Qian and the other two followed with great curiosity.

Four streams of light streaked across the sky and flew towards the inner courtyard...

About an hour later, the three returned to the inner courtyard. "Third Elder, this is about what happened today."

Lin Yuan's eyes showed a bit of seriousness, and he said thoughtfully: "Please don't make this matter public. If necessary, you can also deal with all the traces of the valley. I will go to the Qi Refining Tower to check on the condition of the Little Medical Immortal..."

After saying that, he cupped his hands and flew towards the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

Looking at Lin Yuan's departing back, the two elders Su Qian and Qian Bai had complicated expressions as they stared at Lin Yuan's receding back.

"Before becoming a master, kill the master first!"

Taking a deep breath, Bai Lie said in a trembling voice: "Even if you have just entered Dou Zun, there is still a huge difference between you and Dou Zong! With such a powerful fighting force, Lin boy... is he really not from an ancient race?"

"Old man Bai, have you forgotten? Wasn't the ancient monster of the ancient clan also defeated easily by him?" Qianmu said faintly.

"Uh--"

Bai Lao was speechless for a moment, and looked at Qianmu, with a complicated look in his eyes becoming even more intense.

Being able to kill Dou Zun means that Lin Yuan can beat them. He was once a genius who practiced hard for a hundred years, but was completely surpassed by a young man who was less than 20 years old, and he was his own student. The two elders had a complicated mentality...

"Hehe!" Su Qian tossed the storage ring in his hand and said playfully, "Second Elder, you have such an outstanding student. How am I doing as the Great Elder?"

Looking at Su Qian's smug look, the two elders Qianbai glanced at him, but they were a little envious in their hearts... Such a good seedling!

After a moment's silence, Qianmu straightened his expression and said seriously: "Su Qian, you continue to try to send a message to Mang Tianchi, asking him to use his semi-saint title to protect Lin. We haven't even reached Zhongzhou yet, and someone has come to kill us. Damn it..."

Hearing this, Su Qian's expression changed and became much gloomier.

A Dou Zun from an unknown force actually disregarded his dignity and directly attacked a junior like Lin Yuan... Canaan Academy had no way to deal with it.

If Lin Yuan wasn’t strong enough, I really don’t know what the consequences would be.

Taking a deep breath, Su Qian looked at the two elders, Qian Bai and others solemnly: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter! I hope you two can break through to Dou Zun as soon as possible. This situation where a Dou Zun sneaks in and we know nothing about it must be stopped..."

"We will go into seclusion as soon as possible and strive to break through to the Dou Zun level as soon as possible!" The two elders looked at each other and said in a deep voice.
-
After bidding farewell to Su Qian and the other two, Lin Yuan came to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower again.

With a purple glow on his body, he passed through the layers of space barriers without any hindrance and landed on the vast sea of ​​magma again. Then his figure flashed and he appeared in front of the purple-gray energy cocoon.

At this moment, within the giant energy cocoon, the vast soul fluctuations transmitted some information.

After Lin Yuan received the message, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I have solved the problem satisfactorily. You can go into seclusion with peace of mind. The opportunity for the evolution of the strange fire is extremely rare, you must seize it!"

Hearing this, the giant energy cocoon quieted down.

The Little Medical Fairy in the cocoon sank her mind into her body and continued to transform the poisonous fire and poisonous body. She had been in seclusion for such a long time this time, and the improvement of her cultivation was secondary, mainly because the poisonous fire and poisonous body were transforming at the same time.

The strength of strange fire is never constant.

Its strength will change with the growth time, the energy absorbed, and the nourishment received.

This time, the fire gathered to form a pill, and the evil poisonous body released a huge amount of the source of disaster.

All of these extremely toxic original energies were absorbed by the Netherworld Poison Fire. It was a huge original energy that was enough to allow a person to break through to the Dou Zun level, and it was also the most suitable nutrient for the Netherworld Poison Fire. Under this circumstance, the poisonous fire finally began to evolve.

At the same time, as the poisonous fire condenses into a poison pill, the new fire will completely transform into the origin of the Little Medical Fairy and feed back into her cultivation.

After completing this transformation, Xiao Yixiang can be called "Evil Poison Body 2.0".

After confirming that Little Medical Fairy was in the right condition, Lin Yuan flew to the cave on the stone wall, which was the cave he had set up for Zi Yan during his previous retreat.

He sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and only at this moment did he show a look of deep fatigue.

It is never an easy task to defeat the Dou Zun.

To unleash heavenly-level fighting skills at Dou Zong level, the difficulty cannot be said to be great, it can only be said to be ridiculously great.

If it weren't for the fact that the Five Wheels Fire Separation Technique was extremely special, being a combination of fighting skills and fire control techniques, which could borrow the power of strange fire and rely on soul power to make up for the lack of fighting spirit, he would not have been able to unleash an attack that was comparable to that of a heavenly-level fighting skill.

Even so, the consumption of both fighting spirit and soul power this time was terrifying.

Concentrating his mind, Lin Yuan slowly closed his eyes, formed a cultivation seal with his hands, and began to regulate his breathing to recover the huge loss.

after one day.

Lin Yuan's eyes moved slightly, then slowly opened, and the foul air that was stuck in his chest was exhaled.

As he exhaled the foul air, a faint jade-like luster suddenly appeared on his face, and the paleness caused by yesterday's fierce battle also completely dissipated at this moment.

Feeling his surging fighting spirit and abundant soul power, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, "Recovery is complete, it's time to get down to business!"

Then, he flipped his hand and a jade bottle surrounded by invisible flames appeared.

Lin Yuan's mind moved, and the Fallen Heart Flame gushed out of his body, transforming into a solid flame shield. He then opened the jade bottle and placed old man Mu Gu's soul into the shield.

After the illusory soul appeared, he shouted fiercely: "Boy, I am a respected elder of the Soul Palace, and I am on good terms with many Dou Zun masters..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuan pointed his finger and the invisible flame wall suddenly shrank and finally adhered to his soul body. The scorching heat made his body constantly make hissing sounds, and the shrill screams rang out again.

The flames burned for about half a minute before slowly receding, leaving behind an extremely weak soul.

"I don't take threats."

Lin Yuan glanced at him indifferently and said in a calm voice: "You dare to put on airs in front of me. It seems necessary to make you realize one thing first - now you are just my defeated captive and prisoner, and you have no rights."

"Next, I will use pain to carve the word 'fear' firmly into your heart. You better hold on, hehehe..."

With a grim smile, Lin Yuan retracted his sleeves, and the invisible flames immediately flowed and deformed, condensing into all kinds of strange and bizarre torture instruments.

"what--"

The horrifying screams of pain resounded throughout the space blocked by Lin Yuan...

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuan's indifferent voice of inquiry sounded.

"Can you tell me now how the Soul Palace extracts 'Original Soul Energy'?"
