Dou Spirit Pill

In a quiet valley within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a wooden house stood silently in a clearing surrounded by trees.

In front of the small house was a bluestone about two meters wide. Four Fourth-Tier Magical Beasts were spread out not far from the four sides of the bluestone, standing guard.

On the bluestone, Qing Lin sat cross-legged with her eyes lightly closed. Her hands formed a strange seal, and as she breathed, her chest rose and fell slightly. As her aura cycled, a faint white current followed her mouth and nose and drilled into her body, fusing with the mysterious azure energy born within Qing Lin's body, nourishing her meridians and bones.

A while later, as this round of nourishment was completed, Qing Lin's aura grew a few degrees stronger. She opened her eyes, and a brilliant smile appeared on her delicate little face.

"Wonderful, I've broken through to the seventh stage of Dou Qi. When Young Master comes back later and hears this news, he'll definitely be very happy." That was right. Qing Lin had used only a little over a month to break through two stages of Dou Qi, fully displaying the miraculous nature of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

"Today's cultivation is completed too. I'll continue helping Young Master sew that robe."

Happy inside, Qing Lin stood up, preparing to return to the house to sew a robe for Lin Yuan. But when she turned, she saw Lin Yuan standing in front of the small house, quietly watching her.

"Ah, Young Master, you're back?" With a soft cry, her voice carrying a bit of pleasant surprise, Qing Lin walked happily to Lin Yuan's side.

Lin Yuan smiled, pinched Qing Lin's cheek, and said with a smile, "Today is your birthday, so of course I had to come back early to celebrate with you."

"Thank you, Young Master. Qing'er also has good news to tell Young Master." Qing Lin raised her head and looked at Lin Yuan, a hint of emotion deep in her eyes. She had not expected Lin Yuan to keep her birthday in mind. She had clearly only mentioned it casually during a conversation, yet he had even prepared to celebrate it for her. Thinking that she had never celebrated a birthday before, Qing Lin could not help feeling a little expectant.

"Oh? What good news is it?" Lin Yuan asked despite knowing the answer.

"Hehe, Qing'er just broke through to the seventh stage of Dou Qi." Qing Lin looked at Lin Yuan with sparkling eyes, her voice carrying a bit more expectation.

Lin Yuan nodded and said in satisfaction, "Mm, my Qing'er really is amazing. You broke through to the seventh stage of Dou Qi so quickly. Looks like you've been cultivating very seriously."

Lin Yuan felt somewhat amazed inside. Although he had helped her, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were truly worthy of their reputation. In just over a month, they had helped Qing Lin rise from the fifth stage of Dou Qi to the seventh stage of Dou Qi. Back then, he had taken much longer than this. A special constitution really was terrifying like this.

"Hehe!" Hearing Lin Yuan's praise, Qing Lin felt a burst of satisfaction.

"Let's go. Today, I'll celebrate with you and let you experience your young master's unique cooking skills." Saying this, Lin Yuan walked forward.

"Thank you, Young Master!" Qing Lin also followed with light, cheerful steps.

Ten days later.

In a remote dense forest within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"Condense!"

Following a light shout, the surrounding world energy suddenly began to fluctuate. The azure pill within the cauldron also gradually became round and smooth, emitting dazzling azure light like an azure gem.

The moment the pill formed, a wave of energy ripples erupted outward with the medicinal cauldron as the center.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan changed the seal in his hands. Inside the medicinal cauldron, the azure flame abruptly surged, enveloping the azure light in the center of the cauldron. The energy ripples centered on the cauldron also spread even faster, and amid the in-and-out flow of energy, the azure pill completely took shape.

"Dou Spirit Pill, formed! Rise!"

At a certain moment, an azure light pillar shot up into the sky from the cauldron. At the same time, powerful energy fluctuations spread in every direction, shaking the wilderness.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan frowned slightly and beckoned with his hand. A wisp of azure light shot out from the light pillar and flew toward Lin Yuan. In the end, it hovered above Lin Yuan's hand. The azure light withdrew, and its main body was revealed. It was an azure pill the size of a dragon eye. The surface of the pill was extremely round, with faint azure lotus patterns on it. An extremely rich pill fragrance emanated from the pill, and powerful energy waves rippled around it.

It was precisely the Sixth-Grade Pill, the Dou Spirit Pill, a pill that could make a Dou Wang break through by one star. As for the formula, he had obtained it from the academy. After Lin Yuan completed the academy's alchemy task, Elder Huo had opened all the pill formulas of the Alchemy Department to him. At this time, Lin Yuan had mastered quite a few sixth-grade pill formulas.

Lin Yuan looked at the pill before him, very satisfied inside. "Mm, very good. Judging by its quality, pill fragrance, and energy, this Dou Spirit Pill should be a high-grade Dou Spirit Pill. Refining it didn't feel difficult. Heavenly Flames really do improve alchemy far too much. After I break through to Eight-Star Dou Wang in a while, I'll take this Dou Spirit Pill and rush straight to nine stars in one breath."

"My first Sixth-Grade Pill has finally been completed. After spending so many years, I've finally become a Sixth-Grade Alchemist. It really has been a long road!" Feeling somewhat emotional inside, Lin Yuan took out an excellent-quality jade bottle and stored the Dou Spirit Pill inside.

Looking at the Sixth-Grade Pill in the bottle, Lin Yuan could not help recalling the long journey of learning alchemy over all these years. When he was ten, it had been determined that he possessed the qualifications to become an alchemist. After entering the Alchemy Department of Jia Nan Academy, he gained Elder Huo's appreciation. From age ten to fifteen, nearly half his time had been spent on alchemy: understanding knowledge, tempering his soul, practicing flame control. The field of alchemy was far too vast. Even with his powerful soul talent and Elder Huo's guidance, he had still spent several years laying a solid foundation.

Now, he had finally become a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, someone extremely rare even across the entire Dou Qi Continent. He had also surpassed his guide, Elder Huo. He believed Elder Huo would certainly feel very gratified if he knew.

As he was deep in thought, a few beast roars came from the distance. After Lin Yuan heard them, he furrowed his brows, and a few traces of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Were they magical beasts lured over by the energy fluctuations from the pill forming? I'll go slaughter them."

The thought flashed through his mind, but Lin Yuan suddenly felt a little wary inside. "Mm? Since when has my killing intent become so heavy? I develop killing intent at the slightest thing. Is it because I've fought and killed too much during this period of time?"

"Forget it. There's no need to keep killing. During this period of time, I've killed quite a few Fifth-Tier and Tier 6 Magical Beasts. The magical beast essence blood for cultivating the Hundred Beast Refining Spirit Art is enough. It's time to leave." After calming his state of mind, Lin Yuan dispersed the killing intent in his eyes, spread his wings, and flew toward the distance.

After flying for a while, Lin Yuan finally returned to the valley where he lived with Qing Lin.

Seeing Lin Yuan descend, Qing Lin, who had been sitting cross-legged, withdrew her hand seal, ended her cultivation, and rose to greet him.

"Young Master, are we leaving?" Qing Lin, who had come forward to meet him, asked softly. As she spoke, she beckoned with her hand and recalled the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake that had been protecting her all along. It seemed she had become even more skilled in using the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

"Mm, we're leaving. Qing'er, are all the things ready?" Lin Yuan asked Qing Lin.

"They're all ready. We can set off at any time." Qing Lin looked around and nodded in confirmation.

"Good. Then let's go. After some time, once you break through to Dou Zhe, I'll bring you back here to catch Fifth-Tier Magical Beasts."

Immediately, Lin Yuan held Qing Lin in his arms, recalled the map, spread his wings, and flew toward the southwest direction of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"It's time to take the next Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Remnant Map."

"If things are handled well, I'll be able to get my hands on a high-level alchemist legacy and an Earth Tier cultivation method."

At this time, a herb-gathering team on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range was on the road back to Qingshan Town.

"Xiao Yi Xian? What's wrong? Why are you so distracted?" A woman stretched out her hand and waved it in front of another woman in a white dress.

The woman wore a pale white dress. Her appearance could be considered that of a rare beauty. Her cheeks, bearing a calm smile, exuded a fresh and ethereal aura. This unique temperament immediately caused the woman's charm to rise by a large degree.

The woman in the white dress came back to her senses and smiled gently. Her beautiful face and gentle smile made the surrounding mercenaries' eyes heat up.

"It's nothing, Lifie. I just thought of a way to improve a prescription." The woman in the white dress smiled as she replied to the female assistant beside her.

"Oh, as expected of Xiao Yi Xian, the pride of our Qingshan Town!" The young mercenaries nearby began to make a fuss and whistle.

Xiao Yi Xian looked gently at everyone's teasing, while in her heart she recalled the cave she had accidentally discovered this time.

"There must be a secret in that cave beneath the cliff. Looks like I'll have to find an opportunity to go down and investigate."
