Yao Ling, the proud daughter of the Yao clan.
Yao Ling was among those who fought over the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire. Although this special member of the Yao clan was only an entry-level semi-saint, her soul was unique and was regarded by the people of the Yao clan as the person most likely to cultivate her soul to the "Emperor Realm".
In the original novel, when Xiao Yan was being chased by the Soul Demon, he swallowed the blood of the Medicine Spirit to nourish his soul, which shows its special nature.
"If I can use the medicinal spirit as the core of the medicinal material and refine it into a pill, I may be able to break through the Emperor Realm…"
Lin Ran shook his head and threw these thoughts out of his mind.
He was not actually opposed to using humans as pills. He was originally a disciple of the three Scorpion Demons of the Yunyu Sect. The Huanchan Extreme Bliss Technique he practiced used women as cauldrons. He improved himself by absorbing and devouring women's cultivation. Using humans as pills was naturally nothing.
But the key point is that the medicine spirit is the pride of the medicine clan, and is treated as a treasure by the strong men of the medicine clan. Even if he really wants to take action, he will probably have to face countless strong men of the medicine clan first.
"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. I'll devour some of the soul essences of the Soul Palace's branches first..."
Lin Ran withdrew his thoughts and returned to Xingyun Pavilion with Cai Lin.
In the following period, the Holy Sect's prestige continued to grow.
It is worth mentioning that after defeating the Soul Palace, the branch halls within the Soul Palace seemed to have disappeared, and no news related to the Soul Palace has been heard since then.
The violent frictions of the past have suddenly shrunk countless times, as if the power that once dominated Zhongzhou is gradually fading out of people's sight.
However, the high-ranking officials of the Holy Sect remained extremely vigilant against the abnormal behavior of the Soul Palace.
After fighting with the Soul Palace for so many years, the top leaders of the Holy Sect knew their nature very well. Therefore, they absolutely did not believe that this strange force would give up so easily after suffering such a huge loss.
But what confused people was that even though they sent a large number of spies to investigate the actions of the Soul Palace, they still did not get any valuable information in the end.
Even when the Nine Netherworld Python was dispatched, it only captured a few branch halls. Lin Ran did not hesitate to deal with them all.
But what made Lin Ran frown was that the soul origins had long disappeared from those branch halls. Apparently, they had been completely confiscated by the Soul Clan!
Helplessly, Lin Ran could only return to Xingyun Pavilion and make temporary plans.
However, without the Soul Palace, Lin Ran's life became more interesting.
Xiao Yixiang, Qinglin, and Yunyun even rushed over from the Northwest Continent, as well as Feng Qinger and Zi Yan, and Cai Lin broke through the barrier and came out.
For a time, Lin Ran enjoyed the best of both worlds.
Of course, now that Lin Ran's Pure Yang Holy Body has been perfected, both in terms of physical strength and cultivation, he has already been among the top strongest people on the continent. Naturally, he has no pressure in dealing with all the women.
However, a young girl who got the news became quite upset in the ancient world. She wanted to find Gu Yuan from time to time and apply to go to Xingyun Pavilion, but was rejected by Gu Yuan every time.
There was no way. The Soul Clan of the Soul Palace had been acting strangely recently, and Gu Yuan couldn't let Xun'er take risks. However, he couldn't stand his daughter's stubbornness, so he used his great magic power and fighting spirit to bring Lin Ran directly back to the ancient world and let Xun'er deal with him properly.
Bewildered Lin Ran looked at the angry Xun'er and helpless Gu Yuan, who had no idea what had happened and hurried to comfort his wife.
Time passed slowly and months went by in the blink of an eye.
"According to the intelligence we received, the Soul Palace has almost abandoned any branch palaces that we might discover, and everything in them has been emptied out."
"But what makes people a little confused is that even if the Soul Palace is worried that we will destroy these branch halls, there is no need to withdraw so cleanly, right?"
In a stone pavilion in the star realm, Yao Chen reported to Lin Ran softly.
"There is no news from the Nine Netherworld Python either. I'm afraid those guys are really up to something big!"
"Don't be afraid, if an enemy comes, we will stop him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth."
Lin Ran spoke calmly, and suddenly turned his gaze to Yao Chen, and said softly: "Hey, Yao Chen, the Yao Clan's pharmacopoeia will probably be ready soon, right?"
Hearing this, Yao Chen shuddered, remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "One month later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Chen's expression became complicated.
He has never returned to that race since he left.
But now, he has to go back again!
Before his parents passed away, he promised that he would practice hard and carve their names on the clan monument.
The clan stele is a monument of merit for the Medicine Clan. Only those who have made great achievements in the clan can freely leave their names on it. All the people of the Medicine Clan regard this as a lifelong goal, and Yao Chen back then was no exception.
He has been wandering alone on the continent for many years. Although he has achieved some success now, and with the support of the Holy Sect... However, Yao Chen also understands that it will not be easy for him to return to the Yao Clan this time to fulfill his parents' last wish. Some guys in the Yao Clan will definitely try their best to stop him.
Thinking of this, Yao Chen slowly clenched his hand holding the teacup.
Looking at Yao Chen's complicated expression, Lin Ran smiled calmly and said, "Old Yao, I told you at the beginning that you can do whatever you want with the clan monument, and leave everything else to me."
Lin Ran's voice was soft and calm, but it contained a strong sense of confidence and determination.
Be it the current foundation of the Holy Sect, Lin Ran's cultivation as a Seven-Star Fighting Saint, or the support of the ancient clans behind him, all of these give Lin Ran the confidence and capital to say these words!
Looking at the smiling young face, Yao Chen was filled with emotion for a moment.
At the beginning, he was just forced to join Lin Ran's team, and he didn't take what Lin Ran promised to heart at all, but he didn't expect that he could actually go this far.
His lord...
It is truly an extraordinary existence!
…
Time passed slowly, and soon, the day of the Medicine Clan Pharmacopoeia arrived.
Lin Ran, the hands-off boss, handed over all the affairs of the Holy Sect to Feng Xian and others, and headed towards the Yao Clan with Yao Chen.
Today, the Holy Sect is still the number one sect in Zhongzhou even without him as its leader.
The six-star Douluo Patriarch Danta, the five-star Douluo Xiao Chen, the four-star Douluo Cai Lin, Zi Yan, and so on, plus a dozen Douluo, this force is enough to rival the ancient races!
With them around, Lin Ran felt very relieved.
Lin Ran and Yao Chen were moving at a fairly fast pace and soon they arrived at the location of the Yao Clan.
The Yao Clan is located in the Shennong Mountains in the extreme south of Zhongzhou. In a sense, the area there is actually separated from Zhongzhou, so it seems quite remote.
However, as the saying goes, a mountain is not high, but it is magical if there are immortals living there. The same is true for this mountain range.
Although the Shennong Mountains are a wild area with poisonous insects rampant and all kinds of ferocious beasts rarely seen in Central China appearing one after another, the existence of the Medicine Clan still makes this area quite lively.
Moreover, this mountain range is rich in various rare medicinal materials. Many alchemists come here from far away to find medicinal materials for alchemy, so the Shennong Mountains are also very popular.
The Pharmacopoeia is the most important activity in the medicine family. The time of its holding is not completely fixed and may change due to various situations.
But in general, this pharmacopoeia is slightly similar to the Danta's Alchemy Conference, and to some extent, it is a conference among the truly top-level alchemists on the continent.
Through this conference, people will be able to know who is the number one alchemist in the continent today!
In addition to the members of the Medicine Clan, those who can participate in the Pharmacopoeia include some alchemy masters who once or currently have great fame and high alchemy skills in Zhongzhou.
However, the number of such invited people is generally very small. After all, alchemists who can be favored by the Medicine Clan are rare on the continent.
But no matter what, it does not hinder the grandeur of the pharmacopoeia, not for anything else, just because of the title of the continent's number one alchemist!
"The concentration of the heaven and earth energy here is far stronger than that of the medicine garden in Danta."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When he first arrived at the Shennong Mountains, even Lin Ran couldn't help but praise it.
The sky above the Shennong Mountains is filled with swirling clouds and sparkling colorful lights. This is not an ordinary thing, but a gathering of energy from heaven and earth.
Practicing here is probably much faster than practicing in other places!
"This mountain range was cultivated by an ancestor of the Medicine Clan over hundreds of years to make it so fertile."
Yao Chen looked at this strange yet familiar mountain range with complicated eyes. This was the first time he came back since he left that year.
With a light sigh, he began to slowly descend, and finally landed on a deep ravine deep in the mountains.
On the opposite side of the deep ravine, a huge stone archway about several hundred feet long stood quietly, and an air of vicissitudes emanated from the archway.
In the center of the archway is a twisted space, and here is the space gate leading to the Medicine Clan.
At this moment, figures were constantly flying out from the sky or deep in the forest, and finally landed outside the giant stone archway. After taking out some jade slips and handing them over to some guards in medicine clan robes outside the archway, they were let in.
"This pharmacopoeia is the most grand conference among the Medicine Clan. Some nearby sects that are affiliated with the Medicine Clan will also be allowed to enter and observe. This period of time will be the most lively time among the Medicine Clan." Yao Chen's eyes swept over the figures entering the space gate and spoke.
"Um."
Lin Ran nodded calmly, and with a flash of his body, he appeared outside the archway.
"This is a restricted area of the Medicine Clan, no one is allowed to trespass. Who are you?!"
There were several figures standing there like sculptures, and they immediately shot over with sharp gazes and shouted sternly.
These people had sharp eyesight and could tell at a glance that Lin Ran was not from any of the nearby sects.
Because those forces, even if their leaders came here in person, all looked humble, but the people in front of him looked so calm, and did not show any awe towards the Medicine Clan.
Around the deep ravine, the figures that had been passing by slowly stopped and looked at Lin Ran and the others with curious eyes.
Many people recognized Lin Ran's identity, their eyes were burning with excitement, and some even wanted to come forward and talk to Lin Ran to establish a relationship with him.
The battle at the Fallen Peak made Lin Ran completely famous. He not only became the object of admiration of countless disciples in the entire Holy Sect, but also in Zhongzhou.
"Holy Sect, Lin Ran."
Lin Ran glanced at those people and said calmly: "The head of our sect's inner alchemy hall, Yao Chen, has been invited to participate in the pharmacopoeia."
"It is indeed Sect Master Lin!"
"Although Sect Master Lin has a strong cultivation base and profound strength, this pharmacopoeia is a grand gathering for pharmacists. Why is he here?"
"I guess he is supporting Yao Chen. After all, there is a great relationship between Yao Chen and the Yao Clan..."
"Haha, a bunch of ignorant people, you are new fans at first glance. Only people like me who have been fans of Sect Master Lin for ten years know that Sect Master Lin's alchemy skills are equally powerful, and he is also a member of the Danta elders!"
Hearing the low voices around them and Lin Ran's words, the guards' expressions suddenly changed.
The previous attempt to seize the demon fire, coupled with the battle at the Fallen Peak, made Lin Ran's name extremely famous among these ancient races.
He killed the Soul Palace Master, fought against the Soul Demons of the Four Demon Saints and was not at a disadvantage. In addition, he had the Pure Lotus Demon Fire... They could not afford to offend such a terrifying existence.
Lin Ran glanced at them calmly, then looked at Yao Chen.
Yao Chen sighed softly, took out a jade slip from his storage ring and handed it over.
The latter and others hurriedly took it over, and after checking it, they breathed a sigh of relief and swung a beam of light in their hands, shooting it at the giant door. The space above it suddenly fluctuated and seemed to be distorted.
"You two, please... after you enter, someone will take you to the clan."
The guard looked respectful.
In this world, strength is always respected. Lin Ran's cultivation strength and the power behind him are even enough to rival the Medicine Clan. How dare they, a mere gatekeeper, offend him?
Lin Ran nodded calmly and looked back at Yao Chen behind him.
The latter took a deep breath, nodded slowly at him, and then the two of them moved and rushed into the distorted space at the same time.
The moment they entered the space, their vision blurred slightly, and the mountains in front of them turned into a lush green plain. On the plain, there were giant birds and beasts with huge bodies and wingspans of several hundred feet.
"You two, this way please."
Just as Lin Ran and the other person had landed firmly, a man from the Medicine Clan wearing armor quickly came over and led the two of them onto the back of a giant bird.
At this moment, there were hundreds of figures standing on the back of the bird, making it look quite lively.
Seeing the appearance of Lin Ran and Yao Chen, there were inevitably some sharp-eyed people in the crowd, and a frenzy of "Lin Ran tide" swept across the entire bird's back. Lin Ran naturally accepted everyone who came, talked to everyone present on an equal footing, and even directly extended an olive branch to them and began to poach people.
These guys are all top alchemists. If they can be brought into the Holy Sect, it will be a great help.
Soon, the giant bird circled around the giant mountain and finally landed on a square...
