Chapter 257: Harvest, Raising Fire, Arriving in Zhongzhou

After breaking through to the Dou Zong level, Lin Yuan had never considered the step-by-step path of hard training.

How long will it take to improve one star through hard practice?
At the Dou Zong stage, Lin Yuan's plan was to use the magic poison spots and elixirs to quickly improve his cultivation, use the Fallen Heart Flame and battles to temper his Dou Qi, and then use the corresponding high-level elixirs to blend and purify his Dou Qi, so as to quickly pass this stage.

As for the Dou Zun stage, Lin Yuan's mouth curled up slightly - he already had a plan in mind for how to make his cultivation speed as fast as that of the Dou Emperor bloodline.

The purpose of practicing alchemy for many years is to make great strides in the later stages of cultivation.

Lin Yuan leisurely selected the Luo family's offering, feeling quite satisfied.

The Luo family is worthy of being a family with a Dou Zun in their ancestor, controlling the trade routes of Daozhongzhou, and also doing magic core business. Their collection of various resources is extremely rich, and among the many collections, the magic cores are the most collected.

There are nine seventh-level magic cores, three of which are at the late seventh level as can be seen from their color, and forty-one sixth-level magic cores, one of which is a Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast magic core.

Lin Yuan took all these magic cores and all the high-level medicinal herbs.

Among these medicinal herbs, Lin Yuan actually got a lot of them that could be used, and many of them could even be used to refine eighth-grade elixirs.

As for martial arts and fighting skills, the Luo family's collection is average. What was passed down by their Dou Zun ancestor is only a set of excellent earth-level intermediate martial arts and fighting skills.

"It seems that the ancestor of the Luo family is not that strong even at the Dou Zun level..."

After taking a quick look at the Luo family's fighting skills, Lin Yuan casually put them into his ring and said calmly, "Since you are very sensible, I will allow the Luo family to continue to exist and pass on the legacy. In addition, I will give you a reward..."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a jade bottle filled with elixir mist appeared in his hand.

"I will give you this Zong Yuan Dan!"

With a throw of his hand, the jade bottle flew out from his palm and hung in front of Luo Cheng.

"Zongyuan Pill?" Hearing this name, Luo Cheng's eyes flashed with joy, "A seventh-level top-level pill that can increase one star's strength?"

Taking a deep breath, he stretched out his hand and respectfully took the jade bottle in front of him.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir! Thank you for your reward!"

Calming himself down, Luo Cheng bowed and saluted towards Lin Yuan.

"Letting the Luo family go is because their attitude and values ​​are good!" Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a list fell in front of Luo Cheng. "The Luo family is in charge here. Pay close attention to and collect the things on this list. I may come back to get them in the future..."

"Yes Yes!"

Hearing Lin Yuan's instructions, Luo Cheng nodded quickly and said respectfully: "It is an honor for my Luo family to be able to serve you..."

"That's right... I admire people like you who are aware!" Lin Yuan patted his shoulder and said calmly, "Work hard, we may have a chance to meet again in the future."

At the same time, he added in his heart, "It's a good way to make use of the waste."

The Zongyuan Pill given to Luo Cheng was not made by him, but by old man Mu Gu. Some "condiments" unique to the Soul Palace were added to it. After taking it, one would be like a mountain of clouds, with a secret soul restriction set upon him.

Naturally, these methods of old man Mu Gu were perfectly inherited by Lin Yuan.

As long as Luo Cheng takes the Zongyuan Pill, he will be a grasshopper in Lin Yuan's hand. The Tianya City trade node will be his, and he can take whatever he wants from now on.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Yuan resolutely refuses to eat pills made by others. After all, who knows what special ingredients are added to them?
Just place a move casually, if there is a gain, that's the best, but if there is none, that's no problem either, this is Lin Yuan's style!

"I don't want to see you again at all!" Luo Cheng said helplessly in his heart.

However, no matter what he thought in his heart, he could only lower his head and show a more respectful attitude to Lin Yuan: "I will follow your instructions. The Luo family is looking forward to your next visit!"

"Yes!" Lin Yuan nodded and casually ordered: "Give me two spaceships. It's time for me to go to Zhongzhou..."

"Yes!" Luo Cheng responded quickly.

Then, he quickly took out two level five spaceships and handed them to Lin Yuan respectfully.

Lin Yuan took the wooden boat and looked at it carefully for a moment.

I saw that these two wooden boats, although only as small as a palm, were extremely delicately made. There was a faint flash of silver light on the wooden boats. It seemed that this thing contained a trace of pure spatial power.

He nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand to disperse the soul mirror that enveloped the surroundings.

"Goodbye, hehe..."

A distinctive laugh sounded, and Lin Yuan and Zhaixing Old Ghost took a step forward. As the space rippled, the two figures mysteriously disappeared on the spot.

However, even as the two disappeared, Luo Cheng still maintained a respectful posture. Seeing this, the Luo family's strong men also held their breath and maintained the same posture as Luo Cheng...

After half an hour.

Luo Cheng put down his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's OK, those two should leave..."

After hearing Luo Cheng's words, everyone relaxed.

"Ancestor..." A middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and asked Luo Cheng in panic, "After years of operation and accumulation, more than half of it was lost in less than half a day. What should the Luo family do in the future?"

Today's sudden genocide crisis has shattered his years of cognition.

"What should I do? What else can I do?" Luo Cheng laughed bitterly, "I have dominated Tianya City for many years, but I actually forgot that I am just a small Dou Zong!"

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the dejection in his heart and raised the list in his hand.

"Follow that person's instructions and try to collect the items on the list."

"As for the family, our Luo family must keep a low profile in the future. In addition, the family will no longer pursue the accumulation of more resources, but will allocate more resources to the outstanding children in the family and send them to the major forces on the mainland to study!"

"In addition, everyone needs to make a detailed plan to separate some people from the family to settle in other places as a fire source in case of emergency."

"Everyone, please disperse and continue with your work. Remember to keep today's events confidential!"

Luo Cheng, who had been in charge of the clan for many years, quickly figured out everything, demonstrated his responsibility as the clan leader, and made various arrangements...

"Yes, ancestor!"

Luo Cheng's steady voice, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, quickly stabilized the hearts of everyone in the Luo family, and then slowly dispersed...

Luo Cheng looked at the Zong Yuan Dan in his hand and sighed: "In the Dou Qi Continent, the strong are respected after all... The strong are the knives and the rich are just fish... If that's the case, then there is nothing to hesitate about!"

After he finished speaking, he held the Zong Yuan Dan in his hand and walked towards the secret room where he usually practiced seclusion...
-
On the stone platform in the center of Tianya City.

Lin Yuan looked at the huge black hole in front of him, then moved and stepped into the space wormhole with the old ghost Zhaixing.

The moment he entered, his vision suddenly went dark and his body suddenly felt weightless, but this feeling quickly dissipated, and then a strange space channel appeared in his sight.

This is a huge passage of more than ten feet, surrounded by pale silver space barriers, behind it is a circle of dark film like the surface of water, and in front of it extends to the endless distance! "Is this a long-range space wormhole? It is really dead silent..."

With a light chuckle, Lin Yuan gently wiped his cheek with his hand, dispelling his disguise and revealing his true appearance.

"Lin Yuan's face cannot be used to do bad things for the time being! Hehe..."

With a light chuckle, he flipped his hand, and an exquisite level 5 spaceship appeared in his palm. He raised his hand lightly and threw it out.

The spaceship flew out of his hand, and it swelled up in the wind like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss. In just a few blinks of an eye, it turned into an exquisite ship ten feet long and wide. A trace of light silver space force flowed on it, making it look quite mysterious.

"Let's go, Senior Zhaixing!"

Lin Yuan jumped up and stepped into the boat first, followed by the old ghost Zhaixing.

"Senior, I will be in seclusion for the next few days to break through my cultivation." After boarding the boat, Lin Yuan bowed and asked, "I'll trouble you to drive the boat."

"Just focus on your breakthrough, and leave the steering of the boat to me!" The old ghost Zhaixing tried hard to force a smile and said kindly.

Being ordered around by a kid who was less than 20 years old, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated, but he didn't have any intention of refusing.

"Thank you for your understanding, senior!"

Lin Yuan nodded, and then handed over a sweet date at the right time, and said thoughtfully: "Senior, I will remember your care along the way. If you need to make pills in the future, you can tell me directly, and I will do my best to help..."

After saying that, he waved his hand and flashed into the cabin.

Watching Lin Yuan’s back disappear before his eyes, the old man Zhaixing took a deep breath and the smile on his face disappeared.

"An eighth-grade alchemist...how noble!"

With a sigh in his heart, he waved his hand, and powerful fighting spirit poured into the energy input point at the bow. The entire space ship suddenly trembled slightly, and then a thrust burst out from the tail.

The spaceship instantly turned into a stream of silver light and moved towards the endless darkness at lightning speed.

In the cabin.

Lin Yuan glanced at the outside world through the window, and saw the silver space walls on both sides retreating at a speed that was dazzling.

"This speed is really fast!"

With a light chuckle, he closed the window of the room, walked slowly to the bed in the room, sat cross-legged, and then flicked his fingers. A jade bottle containing a purple elixir flew out and hung in front of him.

"It's time to take Zong Yuan Dan!"

With the protection of the five-star Dou Zun, Star-Picking Old Ghost, Lin Yuan had no worries at all even in this space channel full of unknowns.

He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for half an hour. After adjusting himself to the peak state, he took out the Zong Yuan Pill and swallowed it in one gulp. Then he formed the seal for cultivation, sank his mind into his body, and began to refine the huge medicinal power of the Zong Yuan Pill.

As time passed, the pure medicinal power was digested by Lin Yuan bit by bit, and his aura began to transform rapidly and firmly.

A powerful force was brewing in this space cabin...
-
More than half a month later.

"The energy has increased by another 30%?"

Looking at the ice-blue flame leaping like an elf in front of him and feeling the tremendous energy contained in it, Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"The Blue Ice Flame is truly extraordinary. The ability of the Flame Art to devour other flames gives it an extraordinary growth rate; the innate inspiration contained in the Fragments of the Burning Art and the Strange Fire has given it unlimited room for growth!"

"This flame may be comparable to the top ten strange fires!"

After taking the Zong Yuan Dan, Lin Yuan broke through to the Seven-Star Dou Zong in three days. After that, he had been using the Qianlan Ice Flame to devour many beast fires.

These beast fires were naturally the spoils obtained from old man Mu Gu.

As an alchemist, there are only a few things that interest him - medicinal materials, pill recipes, elixirs, and flames.

As a well-known eighth-grade alchemist, old man Mu Gu's collection of beast fire is naturally extremely rich. Not only are there various types, with a total of seventeen kinds, but the quality is also extremely high. The lowest is also a high-quality seventh-grade beast fire, and there are even three types of eighth-grade beast fire.

After devouring ten seventh-level beast fires and two eighth-level beast fires, the power of the Qianlan Ice Flame skyrocketed, and its power was almost comparable to that of the Fallen Heart Flame.

However, Lin Yuan also vaguely felt that the upper limit of the power of the Qianlan Ice Flame... was approaching.

Afterwards, if this dry blue ice flame wants to continue to grow at a high speed, it will need to integrate the alien fire or the alien fire origin to enhance its essence and upper limit.

"Strange Fire...?"

Lin Yuan tapped his forehead lightly, his thoughts racing in his mind.

“There are also some other kinds of fire that can be obtained in Zhongzhou… Xiao Yan’s Wind Fury Dragon Flame, and the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire… The different kinds of fire, and the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire. It seems that it is necessary to go to the Burning Flame Valley anyway…”

"According to the time, it won't be long before we exit the wormhole. I can only continue feeding the ice flame next time."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and the dry blue ice flame attached to his forehead again, turning into a bright ice blue fire pattern.

The ice-blue fire pattern danced gently, and a hint of coolness and warmth spread out. Lin Yuan suddenly felt his mind clearer, and the soul power between his eyebrows seemed to have been tempered, with a slight growth.

The Qianlan Ice Flame is a combination of ice and fire, and has absorbed some of the soul properties of the Fallen Heart Flame. If the temperature is controlled properly, it can be used to temper the soul.

This usage was recently figured out by Lin Yuan.

The effect of refining the soul with the power of ice and fire is very good, and is similar to the effect of high-intensity medicine refining on the soul power. Combined with the soul technique to absorb spiritual energy, the effect is even better.

Appropriate consumption and destruction, supplemented by regeneration under nourishment.

This universal principle is very effective whether it is used to temper the body or the soul.

With a light chuckle, Lin Yuan started to practice the Tianxin Soul Technique.

Under the tempering of spiritual energy and ice and fire, Lin Yuan's soul and strength increased steadily at a very gratifying speed, until...

"My friend, we are here!"

After an unknown amount of time, the voice of the old ghost Zhaixing was heard outside the cabin.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, put away the seal of the Tianxin Soul Art, opened his eyes, and stood up suddenly. Immediately, the space trembled slightly, and his tall figure appeared at the bow, standing side by side with the old ghost Zhaixing.

Lin Yuan looked at the mysterious silver halo in front of him, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Zhongzhou, have we finally arrived?"

Before he finished speaking, the spaceship turned into a silver light, rushed into the silver halo with a "whoosh", and then disappeared.
