146: Chapter 144 I'm Taking the Three Thousand Burning Flames With Me

Having nearly reached the God-tier Bloodline, Lei Dong could be considered the one with the most concentrated Dou Di Bloodline among all the younger generation of the Dou Di Clans thus far.

The reason it is said to be "thus far" is that both Ling Yuan and Gu Xun'er have not yet announced their Bloodline test results.

When Ling Yuan was tested last time, he had already reached the God-tier Bloodline. Now that he has achieved a Breakthrough to a Two-Revolving Dou Venerate, the Dou Di Bloodline within his body will only become more concentrated.

At twenty-five years old, Lei Dong, a Six-star Dou Zun, is already a dazzling existence among the Dou Di Clans.

He is not the most dazzling, however, because Ling Yuan is still above him.

The gap between a Six-star Dou Zun and a Two-Revolving Dou Venerate is not small.

...

Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body has been resolved, so there is no need for the Poison Pill Method.

However, Ling Yuan still needs to find the bodhi transformation saliva.

He sent people to lie in wait in the Northwest Continent; once the item appeared, he had to obtain it by any means necessary.

That item can be used to extract a bodhi seed.

The bodhi seed is the key to obtaining the Three Treasures of Bodhi.

Ling Yuan must obtain it.

Another key is the strange fire.

Ling Yuan currently has several strange fires in his possession, but he has not refined a single one.

The power of the flames he creates with his Qi is no worse than the strange fire ranked fifteenth.

However, in terms of certain functions, strange fires are stronger.

For example, in Alchemy and refining Puppets, having a strange fire can increase the success rate a little and make the process faster.

This made Ling Yuan consider refining a strange fire.

Ling Yuan has already reserved the Purification Lotus Demon Flame that will appear in the future.

For now, he will refine one to bridge the gap, and as quickly as possible refine those dou sheng puppets he has, which will allow him to better buy time to develop.

That's right, Ling Yuan wants to house two strange fires within his body without Cultivating the Flame Mantra.

Housing two types of strange fires in the body will make one's combat power stronger than others in the same Realm, but the drawback is that it is very dangerous.

Two strange fires might repel each other, and if one's strength is insufficient to suppress them, it is very likely one will suffer a backlash.

Xiao Xuan is the best example. He refined three strange fires and could rely on his strength to suppress them under normal circumstances, but after his failure to Breakthrough to Dou Di, the three strange fires began to backlash against Xiao Xuan.

After severely injuring Xiao Xuan, Hun Tiandi seized the opportunity to kill him.

Although it is a bit dangerous, Ling Yuan still decided to do it.

Yan Jin could refine two, and Xiao Xuan even refined three, so why should he be afraid?

Yan Jin refined the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire when he was a Four-Star Dou Sheng, and until now, there has been no word of any danger.

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame he intends to refine is even stronger; at worst, he will wait until he is a Five-Star or Six-Star Dou Sheng to refine it.

He went through the strange fire ranking list one by one:

The Fallen Heart Flame is ranked too low, its power is insufficient, and its characteristic of accelerating Cultivation is of little help to him now;

The Living Spirit Flame is ranked high, but its main function is to accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs, and its power in direct combat is not good enough.

The Bone Chilling Flame is also ranked low; he doesn't want it and finds it undesirable.

After going through the list, Ling Yuan discovered that the top-ranked strange fires were all in the hands of other Dou Di Clans.

After thinking it over, the optimal solution was not the strange fires he already had, but rather the Pill Tower's Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Ranked ninth on the strange fire ranking list, it is at the Dou Zun level,

and it is a relatively good strange fire at the moment. Its power is sufficient, it is in the top ten, and with his current strength, refining it will not be difficult. Furthermore, its inherent undying characteristic can increase his combat capabilities.

...

The Three Thousand Burning Flame is currently in the Pill Tower's Star Domain and has not been subdued yet.

It is not that no one can subdue it; that Three Thousand Burning Flame is only at the Dou Zun level.

If the Pill Tower really wanted to, the three giants, who are Nine-Revolving Dou Venerates, could easily subdue it by working together.

Ling Yuan guessed that perhaps the Pill Tower wanted to use this strange fire to attract Alchemists to participate in the Alchemist Convention to Cultivate the next generation of Pill Tower giants.

Or perhaps there is only one strange fire, and they are afraid of uneven distribution.

In any case, this strange fire, barring any accidents, is to be kept for the Alchemist Convention.

There are still several years until the next Alchemist Convention, and Ling Yuan does not want to wait, nor will he wait.

There is no need to go to the Pill Tower and forcibly seize the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

The previous owner of the Three Thousand Burning Flame was a powerhouse of the Void Ancient Dragon clan. That person has already disappeared, but the Dragon Seal is still on the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

The three giants likely have not noticed the existence of the Dragon Seal, and as long as that Dragon Seal has not been erased, this strange fire belongs to the Void Ancient Dragon clan.

The Dragon Seal is the evidence.

Now, for the Void Ancient Dragon clan to take back the strange fire that belongs to them is reasonable and justifiable.

If the Pill Tower is unreasonable, then it is even simpler.

The Six-Star Dou Sheng Ancestor of the Pill Tower is not present, and the strongest in the Pill Tower right now is only the Two-Star Dou Sheng, Old Monster Lin.

If the Pill Tower is being unreasonable, Ling Yuan here also knows a thing or two about fighting.

And if the Ancestor of the Pill Tower appears, that is even better.

A Six-Star Dou Sheng, a Grade 9 Profound Pill that is one step away from reaching the Ninth Grade Golden Pill level—surely Zhu Kun would be very interested in capturing it and giving it to Zi Yan...

Pill Tower.

The three giants were chatting about the Alchemy talent of the younger generation of the Pill Tower recently.

"There are indeed a few in this generation with good Alchemy talent."

"Dan Chen has already reached the level of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist at a young age, and her Soul is also very outstanding. I have already reserved her to take over my position in the future..."

"Dan Chen's talent is indeed good, but isn't her body too weak..."

"It is a pity about the Cao Family's Cao Ying. When the Ling Clan came last time, they took her away directly. Otherwise, she and Dan Chen would definitely be considered the future twin stars of the Pill Tower."

As they were speaking, a guard at the door came in to report:

"Elder, the Young Clan Leader Ling has brought people here and says he has something to discuss with you."

"The Young Clan Leader Ling?"

The three of them were a bit puzzled. The Ling Clan and the Pill Tower have never had any dealings. Although their Pill Tower is a Holy Land for Alchemy, their Alchemy level is clearly not as good as the Medicine Clan.

Moreover, the Dou Di Clans are relatively arrogant and disdain to deal with them.

It is said that the Ling Clan and the Medicine Clan have been getting closer recently, so it is even less likely that the Ling Clan would come to their Pill Tower for Alchemy.

Curiosity aside, the Young Clan Leader Ling had arrived, so the three of them dared not show any neglect and went to meet him in person.

Xuan Kongzi and the others wanted to exchange some pleasantries to probe the purpose of Ling Yuan's visit.

However, Ling Yuan clearly had no interest in that.

He has always disdained wasting time on worthless people and matters.

Ling Yuan asked straight to the point: "I heard that there is a Three Thousand Burning Flame in the Pill Tower's Star Domain?"

What kind of people were the three giants? After hearing this, how could they not see the purpose of Ling Yuan's visit?

He has set his sights on their strange fire...

Xuan Kongzi coughed dryly and tried to make his tone as polite as possible: "That is indeed the case. The Grand Elder and the Old Ancestor decided to use it as the grand prize for the Alchemist Convention in a few years."

The Pill Tower had already spread the word a few months ago, precisely because they wanted to attract Alchemists from all over the Central Plains to make this Alchemist Convention even livelier than previous ones.

Xuan Kongzi is regretting it to death now.

There was no other way; he could only bring up their own Old Ancestor to make it seem more important.

"If the Young Clan Leader Ling is interested, you can just send Alchemists from your clan to participate when the time comes. As long as they make it into the top ten, the Pill Tower can reserve a spot for the Young Clan Leader Ling to subdue it."

Ling Yuan: "We will not be participating in the Alchemist Convention."

The three giants breathed a sigh of relief. If the Ling Clan does not come to compete, leaving the opportunity for the younger generation of their Pill Tower is naturally for the best.

"However... I want to take the Three Thousand Burning Flame away now."

Ling Yuan's turn of phrase caused the expressions of the three to change slightly.
