Chapter 256 Tianya City, Earth Fire Yuandan
A secluded valley behind the mountain.

"Zhaixing, let's go!"

Lin Yuan fell from the sky, looked indifferently at the old man in front of him who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and chuckled.

Hearing this, Zhaixing Old Ghost raised his eyebrows and said, "Little Medical Fairy, won't you come with us? Zhongzhou is the right stage for her..."

“No!” Lin Yuan shook his head and said meaningfully: “She still has some things to finish here. After a while, when things here are finished, she will officially set off for Zhongzhou…”

"Really?" muttered the old ghost Zhaixing.

At the same time, a trace of regret, as well as a trace of fear and solemnity, flashed through his heart.

A resolute sentence involuntarily emerged in his mind: "The Soul Palace is powerful, I can't defeat it. But it was you who took Lin Yuan away from me. If anything happens to him, I will do my best to kill you for the rest of my life..."

Thinking of the cold look in Little Medical Fairy's eyes when she said this, Old Ghost Zhaixing couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

For him, the best situation would be for Lin Yuan and Little Medical Fairy to go to the Soul Palace with him.

In that case, even if something went wrong, the two of them could be dealt with together…but now, if something bad happened, an unparalleled genius would become his mortal enemy and target his life in secret.

Having seen the strength and talent of Little Medical Immortal, he knew very well that if he was really targeted by a genius with both means and strength, he might not be able to protect himself in the Soul Palace...

After all, although he is a Heavenly Lord, he is just a consumable in the Soul Palace and is not taken seriously!
Now, the old ghost Zhaixing is not only considering how to bring Lin Yuan back to the Soul Palace, but also how to make Lin Yuan integrate into the Soul Palace smoothly.

Thinking of the restrictions on his soul and the threat from the Little Medical Immortal, the old ghost Zhaixing couldn't help but wail in his heart: "Capturing a Dou Zong is such a simple task, why is it so complicated and difficult this time..."

Without paying attention to the other party's complicated feelings, Lin Yuan asked: "Zhaixing, where are we going next?"

Taking a deep breath, Zhaixing Old Ghost gathered his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "We will head to Tianya City next, where we can go to Zhongzhou through the space wormhole."

"Is this the space wormhole in Tianya City?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "There are so many Dou Zun strongmen in the palace, why don't you set up space wormholes leading to various regions? This should not be difficult..."

"There are many space wormholes in the palace in Central China, but very few in remote areas."

The old ghost Zhaixing stretched out his dry hand and explained: "After the space wormhole is opened, it needs long-term maintenance by Dou Zong. Although there are many strong people in the hall, it is not worth wasting such manpower in such a remote place in the northwest..."

After saying that, he suddenly slashed his hand, and a space crack appeared in front of the two of them.

"What is this?" Lin Yuan looked at the old ghost Zhaixing in confusion.

"I have left space coordinates in Tianya City. We can quickly arrive there through this temporary space channel." The old man Zhaixing said lightly.

"I see!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly, "Then let's go!"

After saying that, without any hesitation, he flew into the space channel first, and the old ghost Zhaixing also dodged into the space crack, and with a "whoosh", he disappeared at the same time as the space crack...

Inside the space crack is a strange passage filled with faint silver light, which extends to an unknown end.

Lin Yuan and Zhaixing Old Ghost were flying rapidly in this passage.

"As expected of a five-star Dou Zun, he is able to build such a long-distance space transmission channel by himself. His control over the power of space is indeed a world apart from that of a Dou Zong..."

Looking at the space passages around him, Lin Yuan felt a little amazed.

The Douqi Continent is a world where strength is king and bricks can fly if you are strong enough.

As long as the strength is strong enough, most special abilities and talents can be cracked and caught up. For example, the stronger the strength level, the smaller the gap between other tribes and the Taixu Ancient Dragon in spatial ability.

No matter how mysterious the means are, they cannot withstand the crushing of powerful cultivation. Breaking the law with force is the kingly way of this world.

While Lin Yuan was traveling through the space channel, he asked the old ghost Zhaixing beside him about all the things happening in Zhongzhou. Half a day passed quickly.

Just when the monotonous silver light around him made Lin Yuan feel dizzy, the speed of the old ghost Zhaixing suddenly slowed down. Lin Yuan looked into the distance and saw a silver halo faintly emerging at the end.

"Is it coming?"

Seeing the light circle, Lin Yuan became spirited and increased his speed slightly, following closely behind the old ghost Zhaixing. After a moment, the two of them turned into two beams of light and rushed into the silver light circle.
-
Tianya City.

A wide square, with some symbols painted on it that emit a faint silver glow, and faintly revealing a slight fluctuation in space.

This is the core location of the overlord of Tianya City - the Luo family.

The Luo family is a famous family that sells magic cores. The foundation of Tianya City's prosperity - the space wormhole leading to Zhongzhou, is operated by the Luo family. It was built for the help of the Luo family's Dou Zun ancestor a hundred years ago and has been in use for many years.

Suddenly, on the quiet square, the silver symbol painted on the square shone brightly, and a silver halo slowly emerged.

Two figures, one old and one young, stepped out from the light circle.

The sound of breaking wind was heard, and a dozen figures with "powerful" auras, led by an old man in a blue robe, appeared in front of the two of them, standing with their heads bowed...

"Luo Cheng and everyone in the Luo family respectfully welcome His Excellency!"

Before he finished speaking, the old man with the aura of a five-star Dou Zong, along with dozens of figures with the aura of Dou Huang and Dou Wang, bowed their heads to Lin Yuan and Zhaixing Old Ghost, and saluted respectfully with an extremely humble attitude.

When Zhaixing Old Ghost saw this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Not bad, not bad. This is the demeanor that a Dou Zun or Soul Palace Heavenly Master should have!" He couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

For more than half a month, he, the dignified Star-Picking Heavenly Lord of the Soul Palace, could only stay obediently in the deep mountains and old forests, leading a frustrating life of protecting the younger generations, being their sparring partner, being restricted and threatened by them.

Seeing this beautiful scene again at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart.

Taking a deep breath, he glanced at Lin Yuan beside him barely noticeably... This kid was so casual in his attitude towards him, a senior and powerful man!

"But, there's nothing I can do. Let the higher-ups take care of this guy!"

Looking at Lin Yuan with an inexplicable smile on his face, the old ghost Zhaixing said secretly in his heart.

"interesting!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Yuan smiled playfully and looked at the old ghost Zhaixing beside him, "It seems that you have done some interesting things here..."

"Just some small things!"

The old ghost Zhaixing looked at the Luo family indifferently and said coldly: "It just lets these frogs in the well know how broad the world is, hehe..."

"The vastness of the world...interesting!" Lin Yuan smiled.

"I've heard of the Luo family. They're doing well in the magic core business and have accumulated a lot of wealth!"

He looked at Luo Cheng with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and asked, "Since we are here, Zhaixing, according to the style of our Soul Palace, should we destroy the Luo family, take their wealth, and plunder their souls?"

Hearing Lin Yuan's cold words, the Luo family members who bowed their heads suddenly broke out in cold sweats, and a trace of despair flashed in their eyes.

"Uh..." Hearing Lin Yuan's words, the old man Zhaixing's mouth twitched suddenly. After seeing the former's eager expression, he felt even more subtle in his heart.

Is this person really the next Grand Elder of Canaan College? How can he act more like a Soul Palace than a Soul Palace? "My friend, you have some strange misunderstandings about the Soul Palace."

Taking a deep breath, the old ghost Zhaixing said in a deep voice: "Although our Soul Palace is the strongest force in Zhongzhou, we will not kill an entire family for no reason. That would make us the target of public criticism, and it is not in line with the Palace Master's request to keep a low profile..."

“I see!” Lin Yuan nodded in sudden enlightenment, and said faintly: “What a pity…it turns out that even if you join the Soul Palace, you can’t do whatever you want!”

"Are you doing whatever you want? You obviously want to act recklessly!" The old ghost Zhaixing roared in his heart.

“But!” Zhaixing Old Ghost looked at the Luo family and said thoughtfully, “The relationship in Zhongzhou is complicated. We really can’t just kill an entire family at will. But in this northwestern border area, it’s okay. We just need to do it cleanly…”

"If you need to, it's okay to kill everyone in this city."

"My Lords, spare my life!"

Hearing the cruel conversation between the two, everyone in the Luo family suddenly felt weak in the knees and kowtowed like crazy.

"My Luo family is willing to offer all its wealth to win the favor of the two gentlemen. I hope you can spare our lives!" Remembering that the starting point of the conversation was the wealth accumulated by the Luo family over the years, Luo Cheng thought quickly and said urgently.

"It's not a good idea to do this, right?" Lin Yuan looked at Luo Cheng with amusement.

"You are joking!" Luo Cheng bowed repeatedly and said humbly, "It would be an honor for the Luo family if our family's accumulation of a hundred years could be used by you two..."

“Yeah!” Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said calmly: “It’s good that you have this awareness!”

"Send all the Luo family's high-level medicinal materials and magic cores, as well as the treasures that you think are top-notch, to me. After today, whether the Luo family can continue to exist depends on your choice..."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves lightly, and mysterious soul waves spread out. An invisible barrier was formed, surrounding the core area of ​​the Luo family.

"Soul Boundary!"

The earth-level soul skill that Lin Yuan seized when he killed old man Mu Gu appeared in front of everyone for the first time after he successfully practiced it.

"I have set up a barrier here, no one can leave."

Looking at the people of the Luo family, Lin Yuan said indifferently: "The next hour will give you a chance to survive. If you can't produce something that satisfies me, you will die, and the Luo family will also perish. Go..."

"Yes... yes!" Luo Cheng bowed and quickly led everyone to retreat.

After leaving Lin Yuan and Zhaixing Old Ghost, Luo Cheng shouted hurriedly: "This is a life-and-death crisis. Everyone, please quickly fetch the treasures from your family and personal collections..."

"Yes, ancestor!"

Afterwards, everyone rushed away, and the Luo family was in a commotion...

"Mu Gu's soul formation?"

The old ghost Zhaixing glanced at Lin Yuan dimly, and seeing that the latter looked indifferent, he did not say anything more, but asked: "If the Luo family can't produce the treasure you want, do you really plan to destroy them?"

"How is that possible?" Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, "I am an alchemist, not a demon."

"This is a trade node between Zhongzhou and the border areas. There may be good stuff here. Since we are here, we naturally want to collect some treasures and medicinal herbs. What I said just now was just a simple pressure to let them not keep anything to themselves..."

"By the way, thank you for cooperating with me in putting pressure on the Luo family! In return, this is for you..."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan took out a white jade slip from his storage ring and handed it to the old ghost Zhaixing.

"What is this?" The old ghost Zhaixing looked at Lin Yuan in confusion.

"My soul jade slip." Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "This jade slip represents an opportunity for me to refine the elixir. With this order, you can gather three medicinal materials, or two medicinal materials plus an elixir recipe, and then you can come to me to refine the elixir!"

"In three years, I will be able to refine a pill. I believe this jade slip will be of some use to you..."

"Yizun Dan!" Hearing these three words, Zhaixing Old Ghost's face suddenly lit up. "Is it the eighth-grade six-color elixir that can increase a person's Dou Zun level by one star?"

"Exactly!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said confidently: "Of course, there are some other eighth-grade elixirs. My current alchemy skills can make them! The information of the required medicinal materials is also recorded in this jade slip. Once you have gathered the medicinal materials, you can come to me to make the elixir!"

After a moment's silence, the old ghost Zhaixing bowed to Lin Yuan and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Master Yuan. I will not be polite now!"

"It's just a small thing!"

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said meaningfully: "On the way here and when I return to the palace to meet the Palace Master, I will need your care..."

"Of course!"

The old ghost Zhaixing nodded slightly and said proudly: "Since Master Yuan was brought back by this old man, I will be responsible for him to the end. Besides, Master Yuan has a bright future. It is my honor to be able to travel with such a great man like you!"

"Thank you very much!" Lin Yuan said modestly.

Afterwards, the old and the young smiled at each other, and a tacit understanding emerged, and the scene was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Jie Jie..."

"Jie Jie..."

On the other hand, under the pressure of life and death, the people of the Luo family acted very quickly.

An hour later, Luojia Square.

Looking at the huge amount of natural treasures, fighting skills, magic core materials, etc. in front of him, Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Not bad! To be able to gather so many things, the Luo family is quite sincere and has the value of continuing to exist..."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a fiery red liquid sealed in a crystal jade bottle seemed to float in front of him.

"Fire Spirit Essence, after so many years, I finally got this thing again!"

Looking at the familiar fiery red liquid in front of him, Lin Yuan's mouth curled up slightly. This thing is one of the two main ingredients of the seventh-grade elixir "Earth Fire Yuandan".

The Earth Fire Yuandan is a seventh-grade high-level elixir that can improve the cultivation level of a fire-attributed Dou Zong by one star. It is a superior elixir to the Fire Emperor Pill that Lin Yuan has taken.

The sixth-grade Fire Emperor Pill, the seventh-grade Earth Fire Yuan Pill, and the eighth-grade Sky Fire Extreme Yuan Pill are three fire-attribute pills from the same series. After taking them, they can directly improve your cultivation level, but only fire-attribute practitioners can take them.

Of course, mainstream attributes such as water, wind, wood, and gold also have corresponding single-attribute elixirs.

Compared with general-purpose elixirs such as Huangji Dan, Zongyuan Dan, and Yizundan, this single-attribute elixir is lacking in scope of application, so its value and fame are not as great as the former.

But in terms of efficacy, single-attribute elixirs are not inferior to general-purpose elixirs, and may even be better, but the materials are much harder to find.

The two main ingredients of Earth Fire Yuandan are Fire Spirit Marrow and Earth Fire Ganoderma Lucidum.

These two main materials: Earth Fire Ganoderma Lucidum, which Lin Yuan obtained from the Black Emperor Sect's treasure house seized by Zi Yan; Fire Spirit Marrow, which Lin Yuan obtained from Mulan's treasure house, but used it up when he broke through to the Douhuang stage, and only found it again today.

After putting away the Fire Spirit Essence, Lin Yuan's eyes were filled with an undisguised smile.

"The materials for the Earth Fire Yuan Dan are complete, and we just need to start refining the elixir! With the Earth Fire Yuan Dan and the Zong Yuan Dan, I will be an eight-star Dou Zong!"
