Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 610: The Spirit Stone Alliance: Live and die together! Stone Clan: It’s over!
"Well, an eighth-level weapon refiner, not bad, come in. Wait a minute!" The Douhuang guard didn't care much at first. He just wanted to register him casually and let Jiang Lin in.

But suddenly he reacted, his expression instantly changed from surprise to confusion, and finally a little anger: "Despicable outsider! Although you gave yourself the identity you need when you go out, this is no reason for you to act wildly in our Holy Fire Source Artifact Academy!"

The Douhuang guard clearly felt like he'd been tricked by the black-clad burly man before him. The highest level of those who could enter here was only the peak of the Nine-Star Douhuang realm. At that level, a sixth-rank weapon refiner was already considered exceptional. If there was a seventh-rank weapon refiner, what outsiders considered a super-rank weapon refiner, then he was a true weapon refinery prodigy.

But you're treating him like a fool, aren't you? What the hell is this 8th-rank weapon refiner? Do you really think I'm just a security guard here and I don't know how to count? An 8th-rank weapon refiner is something a mere Dou Huang like you can't even call your own?
If there were no rules in the Holy Fire City prohibiting the use of violence, this Douhuang guard would have wanted Jiang Lin to know what a fist as big as a sandbag was!

"What? An eighth-rank weapon refiner? Oh my goodness! Is this despicable outsider trying to scam me?"

"An eighth-rank weapon refiner? Him? I even said I was a ninth-rank weapon refiner! If he were an eighth-rank weapon refiner, I would eat the shit out of you right here!" Some people passing by saw this and immediately looked over here when they heard the shouting of the Douhuang guard. When they heard someone claiming to be an eighth-rank weapon refiner, they couldn't help but laugh.

"Huh? Wait a minute, good fellow, you are here to cheat for free food and drinks again, right? Originally, I didn't quite believe that the despicable outsider was an eighth-rank weapon refiner, but after hearing such a slanderous promise from you, a guy who only eats and drinks for free, why do I feel that he really might be one?" Some people in the crowd felt a little hesitant about the words of those guys who were talking nonsense.

Jiang Lin also turned around to look at the man who was clearly trying to get free food and drinks here, and found that he was a fat man with a round figure, but tall and strong. At first glance, it was clear that he usually ate a lot.
What surprised Jiang Lin somewhat, however, was that within his spiritual vision, the energy density within the fat man's body was incredibly high, many times higher than that of the surrounding crowd. Without hesitation, Jiang Lin knew he was a Super Dou Huang. However, perhaps because he had only recently achieved his breakthrough, the energy within him was difficult to contain, making him quite noticeable within his spiritual vision. After all, Jiang Lin had seen another Super Dou Huang before, a Super Seven-Star Dou Huang. The energy within that person was incredibly stable, normally at the peak of a Nine-Star Dou Huang. Without careful observation, Jiang Lin might not have even noticed.

"Hey, hey, hey, Master Poison Emperor, stop talking nonsense." The Douhuang guard saw the fat man and immediately recognized his identity. He was Xiong Mu, a recently achieved Super One-Star Douhuang in Holy Fire City, known as the [Poison Emperor]. He liked to eat all sorts of things and had a pica.
"Why, I see this friend from out of town has an extraordinary aura, and I feel he must have some confidence." Seeing this, the fat Poison King stopped acting and walked out to introduce himself to Jiang Lin: "Hello, friend from out of town, I'm Poison King Xiong Mu."

"The fact that you can reach Holy Fire City at this time shows how powerful you are. Although I also hope that you are not lying, the existence of an eighth-level weapon refiner is of great significance, so it is difficult for us to believe whether it is true." The Poison Emperor Xiong Mu is actually a fat man with a good personality. In other words, most people who can survive to the Super-level Douhuang realm basically have good personalities, or at least, they are very stable.

This can be seen in Shi Lei of Huanglian Town. Shi Lei's character is so stable that Jiang Lin calls him an old man without any resentment. After all, Shi Lei was a "young man" in front of others, but he turned into a "little kid" in front of Xiao Yan and others.
The people of the Yuanqi Continent were incredibly resilient. Those with a negative mindset would likely consume themselves to death. Those who could break through to the Super Douhuang realm were, at least mentally, incredibly young, keeping up with the times, and possessing a pioneering spirit.

This is similar to the super-class refiners on the Douqi Continent. You can say that the ideas of super-class refiners are very dangerous, but you cannot deny that their ideas are very pioneering and advanced.
Those old-fashioned people who are complacent and unwilling to break the rules will never be able to enter the super class.

Jiang Lin silently glanced at the Poison Emperor Xiong Mu, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I've met old man Shi Lei. He said I can get what I want here."

What surprised Jiang Lin was that Xiong Mu seemed to be a true Origin Clan member, a new Origin Clan born on the Origin Continent. Furthermore, Xiong Mu's bloodline was likely related to a bear-like magical beast.
The Origin Clan on the Origin Qi Continent is divided into two types: the Innate Origin Clan and the Acquired Origin Clan. The former are people like Shi Lei who entered from the outside world and stayed on the Origin Qi Continent. The latter are the descendants of people like Shi Lei who stayed on the Origin Qi Continent.
"Shi Lei?" The Poison Emperor Xiong Mu felt a little strange when he heard the name. He felt that the name was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it. It was as if he had heard the name by accident but didn't remember it carefully. "Well, a friend from another place, could you remind me?"

It was only then that Jiang Lin noticed that Xiong Mu always seemed to like to say "friends from outside the country". After a little thought, Jiang Lin understood the meaning.

Friends from outside the hometown. In fact, it means friends from outside the hometown. Judging from the atmosphere of this world, this should be what it means.

Although Xiong Mu, a member of the acquired origin tribe, did not have any so-called friends outside his hometown, he grew up surrounded by the stories left by the innate origin tribe. Under the influence of these stories, he eventually became a member of the acquired origin tribe, and was filled with an inexplicable desire for the outside world of fighting spirit.
Although the Dou Huangs on the Yuanqi Continent are extremely long-lived and theoretically have infinite lifespans, theory is theory and reality is reality. Those who can normally live for more than three thousand years are at least super-class Dou Huangs, and those who can live for more than ten thousand years are at least the best among the super-class Dou Huangs!
After living for more than ten thousand years, the source energy and soul in the bodies of those super-level Dou Huangs will begin to approach their limits. The problem of increased source energy consumption can be solved by hunting source beasts on a large scale, but the soul problem is the real big deal!
Because as time goes by, the soul and the source energy will erode each other, and the final result of this transformation is a mindless source beast.
As for the intelligent source beasts?

It is rumored that there is only one source beast in the entire Source Qi Continent that possesses intelligence in a broad sense, and the rest are all controlled puppets.

Therefore, any super-level Dou Huang who survived for ten thousand years generally had their own problems. Shi Lei, who had reached the super-level seven-star Dou Huang realm, had chosen to retire, no longer wanting to fight, thereby increasing his soul's durability. He wanted to survive a little longer, waiting for the arrival of the descendants of the Shi Clan. Although for unknown reasons, the Shi Clan didn't arrive, but the descendants of their allies from the Spirit Clan did, so it was almost the same.

Shi Lei knew the reputation of the Spirit Clan. Most of those people were pure "humans". Even if Shi Lei handed over his secrets to them, they would at most study them and eventually return them to the Shi Clan.

Moreover, the Stone Clan had taken the initiative to request to sign a covenant similar to life and death with the Spirit Clan, hoping to be able to cling to the Spirit Clan's support after the Stone Clan became weak. Therefore, the Stone Clan trusts the Spirit Clan more.

Jiang Lin was a little surprised. How come these people had never heard of Shi Lei's name? But Jiang Lin soon realized that it might be because old man Shi Lei rarely used his real name?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Lin said directly to Xiong Mu in front of him: "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Shi Huang, who ranks fourth on your list of the top ten strongest people."

"Huh???" Xiong Mu and others were shocked when they heard this. Xiong Mu instantly recalled many memories in his mind. Finally, the long-lost memories emerged in his heart, and he finally knew who Shi Lei was!
Shi Lei, from the Xiantian Source Clan, the Ancient Stone Clan, the fourth strongest person in the Holy Fire Domain, the super-level seven-star Douhuang, also known as the Stone Emperor!

"It's that adult." Xiong Mu's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He looked around and saw that there were many people around, so he immediately invited Jiang Lin to go to the Holy Fire Source Academy.

"Come, come, my friend from outside the city. Since you are recommended by that adult, please follow me. I will take you to meet the dean of the academy!" After saying that, Xiong Mu ignored the surprised and doubtful looks of others and walked directly inside with Jiang Lin. This time, the Douhuang guard at the door did not stop him, but just watched Jiang Lin's back as he left with a surprised look on his face.

"I thought you wanted me to demonstrate some ability before letting me in." Jiang Lin, who was following Xiong Mu into the sacred, magnificent, and classical Sacred Fire Source Artifact Academy, said to Xiong Mu while looking at the novel buildings around him. "It's not that serious." Xiong Mu quickly shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Actually, once you can say the true name of that Stone Emperor, nothing else matters."

In the eyes of Xiong Mu and others, the fact that Shi Lei was able to tell Jiang Lin his real name shows that the relationship between Shi Lei and Jiang Lin is not ordinary. At the very least, he should believe that Jiang Lin plays a significant role in their Holy Fire City, which is why he told his real name.

Anyway, no matter what the situation is, the fact that Jiang Lin knows Shi Lei's real name is itself a manifestation of his ability.

"I didn't expect that the old man is so famous among you." Jiang Lin couldn't help shaking his head.

"." Hearing Jiang Lin being so disrespectful to the Stone Emperor, Xiong Mu's eyelids twitched slightly, but he was even more convinced in his heart that Jiang Lin was not an ordinary person.

Judging from Jiang Lin's current attitude and what he said at the academy gate, Xiong Mu was basically certain that this outsider was the one who called Shi Huang "old man" in front of him.
"My friend from outside, are you human?" Suddenly, Xiong Mu thought of a possibility and asked cautiously.

"Hmm?" Jiang Lin looked at Xiong Mu and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with the human race being here?"

Jiang Lin suddenly thought of a great god from outside the domain who said that the origin of the human race, the ancestor, had lost the vital Dou Qi embryo that was crucial to the Dou Qi plane. If this was the reason, then the human race would be a race that bore sin.
"No, no, no!" Xiong Mu hurriedly shook his head, fearing that Jiang Lin would misunderstand him. He explained with a nervous yet somewhat admiring expression, "On the contrary, the human race is a very important racial force on the Yuanqi Continent!"

"If you were a human, you would have many more conveniences here and be respected by more people!"

"Oh?" Jiang Lin was a little curious, but soon he thought of something and shook his head with a smile: "Are we going directly to see the dean?"

The Soul Clan has a transcendent status over the Sea Clan, so he is not very impressed by the fact that the human race also has a transcendent status on the Source Qi Continent.

"Yes, because you are a friend of Lord Shi Huang, I can take you directly to see the dean of this place, Lord Yun Huang, who is ranked third on the Strongest List."

When Jiang Lin heard the word "Yun Huang", some long-forgotten memories in his heart slowly emerged. The combination of these two words was strangely familiar.

While Jiang Lin was lost in his memories, Xiong Mu had already brought him to the edge of a huge lake inside the Holy Fire Source Academy. In the center of the lake, a magnificent wooden palace loomed in the mist.

"The place in front is where the dean lives." Xiong Mu first explained to Jiang Lin, then used his energy to shout to the clouds in the center of the lake:

"Master Dean, a foreign friend who claims to be an eighth-level weapon refiner is here to visit. He has already met Master Shi Huang."

Although Xiong Mu is fat and looks silly, he is smart. He said "visit" instead of "asking for an audience" or something like that, which means he doesn't want to offend anyone.

"Hmm? Stranger, come in." A calm female voice with some surprise came from the mist. The Cloud Emperor was actually a woman?

"My friend from another place, I can only send you here." Xiong Mu nodded slightly to Jiang Lin and extended his hand to invite him to go ahead.

"Well, thank you very much." Jiang Lin nodded slightly to Xiong Mu, and then directly spread out the twelve wings of the Wind Spirit. The gorgeous and numerous wings of light made Xiong Mu stunned, and then Jiang Lin's figure disappeared.

The next moment, on an elegant lawn on the island in the middle of the lake, a long-haired woman wearing a gorgeous long dress and a veil suddenly opened her eyes and saw a black-robed man with twelve light wings on his back appear in the open space in front of her!

"Cloud Emperor."

Jiang Lin was about to say something, but when his eyes met the long-haired woman's body, Jiang Lin's pupils froze for a moment, and then he shouted a sentence that made the other party's expression change:
"Ancient tribe?!"
