Body-Refinement Dou Technique, Eight-Star Dou Wang!

At the same time,

Inside the Snake-People Holy City, in a solemn and magnificent hall.

A crimson pool was filled with a fiery red liquid resembling magma. As the liquid flowed slowly, it emitted an extremely hot aura, causing the temperature of the entire hall to rise rapidly, making it unbearably hot.

In the center of the pool, a naked figure sat cross-legged, his entire body, except for his head, was immersed in the crimson Marrow-Burning Liquid. Countless drops of liquid seeped into his skin, which shone with a lustrous sheen, as if it were as indestructible as jade!

Sizzle!

As the Marrow-Burning Liquid seeped in, countless fire-attribute energies from heaven and earth rapidly converged, transforming into streams of warm currents that surged into the youth's body, nourishing his flesh and bones, and filling the vast torrent of Dou Qi within his meridians.

Click!

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the young man's body, and a huge suction force suddenly burst out. The crimson liquid rippled slightly, and the deep red color in the pool gradually faded, turning into streams of crimson air that rose up.

The crimson energy rushed into the fair, jade-like skin, causing the young man's body to burst with a dazzling white jade light, which then formed a dazzling white vortex!

Splash!

The whirlpool spun continuously, stirring the crimson liquid in the pool, causing the essence to continuously flow away and the color to gradually dim until finally, a pool of clear, transparent water was formed.

Boom!

The next moment, an extremely vast aura erupted from the center of the pool, and the dazzling Mysterious Jade Light illuminated the entire hall. The young man slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, a deep white jade color flashed, and his whole body burst forth with a terrifying aura!

Eight-Star Dou Wang!

"Earth-tier Middle-grade Body-Refinement Dou Technique, the Mysterious Jade Vajra Body, is indeed quite impressive..."

"I now feel that my physical body alone is enough to contend with that Fifth Tier magical beast Snow Demon Ape..."

Lin Chen couldn't help but smile, clenching his fists as he examined the radiant white light on his skin, knowing that after a month of arduous cultivation, he had finally entered the "Mysterious Skin Realm".

Since making the deal with Queen Medusa, Xiao Yan has been in seclusion under Yun Yun's care, refining the Heavenly Flames.

He also received the final payment promised by the Yao Lao doctor, which included this Earth-tier Middle-grade Body-Refinement Dou Technique — the Mysterious Jade Vajra Body.

This Body-Refinement Dou Technique is not complicated to cultivate. It is divided into three realms: Mysterious Skin (Mysterious Skin), Jade Bone), and Vajra Body). Each realm has corresponding pills to assist in cultivation. Apart from the huge amount of resources required, it has no other drawbacks.

According to Yao Lao, the initial stage of Mysterious Skin defense is comparable to that of Fifth Tier magical beast, the Jade Bone Forging stage can shatter the defense of a Sixth Tier magical beast, and the final Vajra Body stage is comparable to that of Seventh-Tier Human Transformation magical beast.

If one cultivates the Vajra Body to its full potential, it can even rival a newly ascended Eighth Tier magical beast. It should be noted that in the Dou Qi Continent, a world that values bloodlines, those who can reach the Eighth Tier are all top-tier magical beasts with ancient bloodlines. The value of this Dou Technique is already quite remarkable.

"I still have seven Earth Fire Lotus Seed left. I used two more to break through to the Eighth Eight-Star Dou Wang realm, which was a miscalculation. The higher the cultivation level, the more resources are consumed. In this way, I will need three to break through to the Nine-Star Dou Wang and four to break through to the Dou Emperor?"

"No wonder the simulation said I only broke through to Dou Emperor after refining all the Earth Fire Lotus Seed. So that's how it is. I still have Body-Refinement Dou Technique to cultivate. This guy's a real drug addict..."

Lin Chen withdrew the Mysterious Jade Light from his body, rubbing his temples with a headache, feeling helpless for a moment.

Although he had made a deal with Queen Medusa and plundered a lot of medicinal herbs from the Snake-People Tribe while refining the Sect Breaking Pill, it was only enough to support his cultivation up to the Jade Bone Realm.

The pills needed for the subsequent Vajra Body cultivation require seventh-grade medicinal materials. Although the Snake-People Tribe are wealthy, they don't actually have such high-grade medicinal materials, so they will probably need to obtain them through other means.

"Hopefully, the Heavenly Snake Mansion will step up its game. As the second-largest sect in the Northwest Continent, they shouldn't lack resources. Speaking of which, those two guys from the Heavenly Snake Mansion should probably leave soon..."

With this thought in mind, Lin Chen slowly stood up, pushed open the stone door of the main hall, and walked towards the outside.

At the entrance, a purple-clad figure was embracing a woman in a green dress, fast asleep, drool dripping from their mouths, muttering things like "pork knuckle," "roasted pig's trotters," "roasted foie gras," and "roasted rabbit," clearly having a sweet dream.

"Brother Lin Chen!"

Qing Lin looked at Lin Chen, who had just come out of the door, with a hint of surprise. She pried Zi Yan's hands off her body and carefully placed her on the ground. Then she quickly walked to Lin Chen, a look of joy on her face.

"Qing Lin, how have you been lately? Is the cultivation technique the Snake-People Tribe gave you useful? If not, I'll go get you a more advanced one."

Lin Chen looked at Qing Lin walking towards him, gently patted her soft hair, and said with considerable satisfaction.

"Sister Medusa is so good to me, Brother Lin Chen, I've already broken through to the Dou Shi!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Lin blushed slightly and said shyly.

Since activating the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, her cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds. She can absorb the Dou Qi of Little Red and Little Qing at any time. Although she is kind-hearted and only absorbs a little bit each time she cultivates, it is still an extremely large amount of energy for a small Dou Zhe.

"Hmm, you've Dou Shi. Not bad, you're no worse than Xiao Yan."

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Zi Yan, who was still fast asleep on the ground. With a flick of his sleeve, he picked her up and hugged her, pinching Zi Yan round little nose and whispering enticingly, "Time to eat~"

"Um?!"

Zi Yan's delicate nose twitched slightly, her large, dark eyes snapped open, she wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, her eyes shining, and asked with a hint of drool, "What do you want to eat?"

"Eat my ass! We should go!"

Lin Chen pinched Zi Yan's chubby cheeks, looking at her with amusement, before carrying her out of the main hall.

At this moment, outside the main hall, two groups of people stood on either side, clearly separated, yet the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Grown ups."

Among the group on the left, Hai Bodong, seeing Lin Chen emerge, quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Gu He and the other three left not long ago."

What did they say before they left?

Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged, but he asked with some curiosity.

"He didn't say anything, but Gu He noticed that he looked rather lost and dejected, as if he had lost his spirit. He left without a word, reeking of alcohol."

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong's expression turned strange. He glanced at Xiao Yan on the other side and reported the truthfully.

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, then looked at Bai Ya and Lu Man who were walking towards him.

The two men clasped their hands in a respectful gesture towards him and said, "Master, now that you have safely emerged from seclusion, it is time for us to depart."

"Regarding the transaction you mentioned, we will immediately report it to the Mansion Lord upon our return. Please wait a few months, Master. Our Heavenly Snake Mansion will certainly give you a satisfactory answer."

"Yes, go ahead. Remember to give my regards to your Mansion Lord. I'll be waiting for him at the Jia Nan Academy."

Lin Chen nodded, and then he saw Bai Ya and Lu Man bow respectfully to him before transforming into two streaks of light and heading towards the central area of the Northwest Continent in the distance.

"Senior Lin Chen, it's time for me to go too."

At this moment, Xiao Yan stepped forward from the right, looking radiant with a smile on his face. His aura was several times stronger than before, and upon closer inspection, a scorching heat could be felt rising from him.

This is clearly a sign that he has successfully refined the Heavenly Flames and made great progress in his cultivation.

"Not bad, you've gone directly from a two- Dou Shi to a seven-star Dou Shi. It seems the Green Lotus Core Flame has greatly improved your cultivation."

Lin Chen glanced at Xiao Yan. This time, the Green Lotus Core Flame had not been devoured by Queen Medusa, which was obviously more beneficial to the Flame Mantra, allowing Xiao Yan's cultivation to improve even more rapidly.

Xiao Yan shyly, then cupped his hands and said, "My promise before stands. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best."

"We'll talk about it later. By the way, Brother Xiao Yan, I have another question for you. I heard that you came all the way from Wutan City to the Tagor Desert. I wonder if you passed through a place called Qingshan Town when you were traveling through the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction, then seemed to have thought of something and asked.
