Dou Wang
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Thanks to Medusa's instructions and the rotating guarding by Lin Qi and others, no one has come to disturb the Secret Chamber.
No one noticed that Lin Qing, who was supposed to be in seclusion in the Secret Chamber, was no longer Secret Chamber.
Of course, all of this is thanks to Ling Qingzhu. Although the Snake-People Tribe are inherently greedy and lustful, on the first day that Ling Qingzhu and the others arrived at the Snake-People Tribe, Ling Qingzhu stood directly in the void above Lin Qing's secluded cultivation, keeping a close eye on anyone who might approach.
Snake-People are greedy and lustful, but they are not fools. Facing two Dou Zong and two Dou Huang expert, none of them want to die. In the end, this world is still ruled by strength. If you want people to respect you, you must possess strength that inspires fear.
With Medusa's orders in place, no one dared to approach the area where Lin Qing was in seclusion.
Of course, this also made Medusa's desire to evolve more urgent. While waiting for Lin Qing to emerge from seclusion, she also distributed the Medicinal Pill that Lin Qing had given her.
Medusa was preparing for the worst; she feared she wouldn't survive the scorching heat of the Heavenly Flames. Although that Secret Technique was passed down from the Snake-People Tribe, she had never seen anyone succeed in it.
Therefore, she wanted to strengthen the Snake-People Tribe's power as much as possible during this period, so that even if she failed, the Snake-People Tribe would have a chance to give birth to a new king.
She also instructed the tribes below to collect as many Medicinal Herb as possible, especially high-grade Medicinal Herb.
On one hand, she was preparing for evolution, and on the other hand, Lin Qing had told her that he could help the Snake-People Tribe refine Medicinal Pill, as long as the reward was sufficient. So she wouldn't miss this opportunity. She prepared the things she needed for her own evolution while collecting the Medicinal Herb needed for the Medicinal Pill the Snake-People Tribe urgently needed, such as the Snake Marrow Bone-Shedding Pill. This was to prepare for the birth of a new king for the Snake-People Tribe if she failed to evolve.
Of course, as a reward, she also asked her subordinates to collect as many high-grade Medicinal Herb as possible. After all, Lin Qing hadn't specified how much the reward would be. It was very difficult to hire a Sixth-Grade Alchemist. The last time the Snake-People Tribe managed to hire such Alchemist was over a hundred years ago. She could only prepare in the best possible way.
Within this Pocket World, Lin Qing was unaware of everything happening outside; he was undergoing a transformation in his cultivation.
"Keep an eye on this silly Lion and don't disturb him. He's at the most crucial moment of his breakthrough, and the energy surge that will follow will be devastating. You should all stay away!"
The Little Marten, which wasn't too far from Lin Qing, spoke earnestly to Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, while looking at Lin Qing with a serious expression.
"Okay, little mouse!"
After saying that, Xiao Yi Xian picked up the Little Lion and ran towards the Villa with Qing Lin in tow.
The Little Marten rubbed its forehead with its tiny paws and said somewhat helplessly:
"Sigh! Why does everyone treat me like a mouse? I, the dignified young patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Marten Clan, have been reduced to being called a little mouse by a little girl who hasn't even reached the Creation Three Realms! What a disgrace!"
It's all that bastard Lin Qing's fault!
Every time they met, they called him "Little Mouse" or "A-Weasel." When introducing him to others, they also called him "Little Mouse." The only person who knew his true identity was a little girl from the Heavenly Profound Continent, who was warm on the outside but cold on the inside, and didn't care about his shouts at all.
"You little rascal, you have to succeed! I still need you to get my revenge! If you're stronger than me, what's wrong with calling you 'big brother'!"
Watching Lin Qing's breath fluctuate wildly, rising and falling, Little Marten murmured to himself.
It seemed they had heard what he said.
As the Sea Urchin Dou Crystal completely melted, the liquid formed from the Dou Crystal flowed rapidly throughout Lin Qing's body with each heartbeat, and then this liquid merged into various parts of Lin Qing's body.
As the liquid was absorbed, Lin Qing's body underwent continuous transformation, and the energy within her body also increased steadily.
"Boom!"
Lin Qing's aura shattered the barrier of the Dou Ling, directly reaching the Dou Wang stage.
A powerful aura erupted from him, and a strong energy ripple burst forth from his body. The wooden basin beneath him was instantly reduced to wood chips by the impact of this energy ripple, and the water in the basin also turned into mist in an instant. The ripple did not stop after destroying the wooden basin, but swept outwards in all directions.
After the devastation, the surrounding area was a complete mess.
Lin Qing's aura didn't stop either. He rose steadily from the early stage of One-Star Dou Wang to the middle stage, the late stage, and the peak stage. Then he became Two-Star Dou King, Three-Star Dou King, Four-Star Dou King. Then his aura suddenly dropped until he finally stopped steadily at the Two-Star Dou King level.
"Damn it! You were just waiting for me to say that, weren't you?"
Upon seeing Lin Qing's breakthrough, Little Marten couldn't help but swear.
"Call!"
Amidst the mist, Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, a faint smile on his handsome face. He clenched his fist, feeling the powerful energy within his body, and said with some surprise:
"Success! I'm now Two-Star Dou King. Once I reach six- Dou Wang, I can rely on Medicinal Pill to reach the Peak Dou King, and then break through to Dou Emperor. Of course, I can now be considered a true Sixth-Grade Alchemist!"
Lin Qing didn't linger, but quickly dressed and glanced at the Little Marten not far away.
The Little Marten felt uneasy under Lin Qing's gaze. "Big brother, is there something you need?"
"Keep an eye on Xiao Yixian Qing Lin. I'll refine some soul-repairing Medicinal Pill for you in a while!"
After saying that, Lin Qing instantly appeared at the other end of the Pocket World, quickly sat down cross-legged, took out the Jade Box containing the Soul Bead, and put the egg-sized Soul Bead directly into his mouth.
As soon as the Soul Bead entered his mouth, it transformed into a stream of light, flowing down his throat and into Lin Qing's body.
The instant the Soul Bead entered his body, Lin Qing's head buzzed, and the Soul Strength between his brows suddenly swelled up as if it had been catalyzed, causing a sharp, throbbing pain in his mind, as if Lin Qing brain was about to explode.
Sensing this sudden change, Lin Qing steadied his mind and quickly activated the <Chaotic Divine Mill Visualization Method>.
In the void, the endless, mottled divine millstone slowly turned, as if it could obliterate everything that was put into it.
However, Lin Qing's fear of the Chaos Divine Millstone had faded, and his soul floated out, plunging into it without hesitation.
Rumble!
The millstone began to turn, crushing the soul.
A terrifying pressure swept over him once more, causing Lin Qing's very soul to tremble.
However, Lin Qing gritted his teeth and persevered, because the Soul Origin within the Soul Bead was simply too vast; if he didn't persist, his soul would explode.
As the divine millstone turned, Lin Qing's soul was continuously nourished by the Soul Origin, and the dark golden markings on the mottled millstone moved slowly.
Time seemed to pass for a very long time. Lin Qing's soul was constantly being crushed, nourished, replenished, shattered, and replenished, and at this moment, his soul reached its limit.
"Buzz!"
Lin Qing's soul suddenly erupted with a powerful fluctuation. A peculiar energy seemed to be attracted to his soul, suddenly surging into it from all around. This was the legendary Spiritual Qi.
