Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 617: Jiuyouque: Who the hell took the Fire Source Crystal to the Douqi Continent?
"[Pure Lotus] is indeed a Dao pattern we don't possess." Upon hearing this, Gu Yun carefully examined the diagram Jiang Lin had provided for a long time before finally shaking her head. The Origin Qi Continent and the Dou Qi Continent each possessed their own distinct heritage. The Origin Qi Continent possessed things the Dou Qi Continent lacked, but similarly, the Dou Qi Continent also possessed many things the Origin Qi Continent couldn't possess.

"If this thing works, then our plan will be much more convenient." Jiang Lin carefully recalled all the knowledge about [Pure Lotus] in his mind. The knowledge system of this Taoist pattern is extremely complex. Jiang Lin learned it in the library when he was in the Jia Ma Refining Guild.

Regarding the refining of source instruments, Jiang Lin has also tried it in the past few days. It is actually not difficult. The only difficulty is above the sixth level, that is, starting from the seventh level source instrument, the difficulty begins to increase.

The reason why the external weapon refining system was broken was also because in ancient times, the seventh level jumped directly to the spiritual weapon, which caused the environment of heaven and earth to change, and people in later generations were completely blinded.

Similarly, the real difficulty of the seventh-level source device lies in the need to use the full set of heaven and earth soul-forging methods to engrave the Dao pattern on it.

Why are Source Instruments slightly inferior to Spirit Instruments? The reason lies here. The Dao patterns of Spirit Instruments are almost always created through the combined efforts of the Spirit Instrument Master and the Universe, while Source Instruments replicate inherent Dao patterns. However, this also reduces the difficulty of refining high-level Source Instruments.

"In a few days, I'll prepare and try to refine a seventh-level source weapon." Jiang Lin nodded to Gu Yun.

There are three prerequisites for refining a seventh-level source weapon: a high-level weapon refiner, the source energy of heaven and earth, and Dao patterns.

Jiang Lin was originally just missing one Dao pattern. He had recently been trying to learn the right one, but suddenly realized he had mastered one that was perfectly suited to his cultivation system. Without further hesitation, he prepared to rest and begin preparing for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Forging, testing the spiritual weapon techniques of the ancient weapon refiners.

"Well, if you need anything, please feel free to ask." Gu Yun took a deep look at Jiang Lin in front of her. The other party might be the "Spirit Emperor" with the most comprehensive thoughts she had ever seen.

Through this period of time together, Gu Yun realized that Jiang Lin's uniqueness did not lie in his talent for refining weapons. Instead, it was that Jiang Lin's thinking was extremely open. Whether it was source weapons, holy weapons, soul weapons, mysterious weapons, life weapons, or even alchemy, these technical systems, he could absorb them all and refine and summarize what he needed.

Are you saying that Jiang Lin has no thoughts of his own?

No, no, no. When Jiang Lin uses his own Life Instrument theory to refute your Origin Instrument system, you might still stubbornly argue that they are in different fields. But when Jiang Lin uses his Life Instrument theory, which has absorbed Origin Instrument theory, to refute your Origin Instrument system, you might suddenly realize that all your thoughts are being seen through by him, while Jiang Lin's thoughts are incomprehensible to you.
Jiang Lin’s core idea can be summed up in two words: neutrality!
It was precisely because of these two words that Jiang Lin was able to consistently and impartially follow a technological path more in line with the development of civilization, despite facing various unorthodox technologies that challenged the limits of human morality. Otherwise, just like many super-class refiners on the Douqi Continent would be restricted and forbidden from doing anything reckless. This is because history has repeatedly shown super-class refiners who researched technology and ultimately destroyed their own humanity.

Sometimes Jiang Lin may behave very inhumanely but in fact, Jiang Lin's current state is already very humane. Otherwise, with the technical system that Jiang Lin currently possesses, once he behaves inhumanely, all the spirit races and soul races will have to stand back, and he is the initiator of the dark curtain.

"Oh, right. I can give you this. I saw a lot of concepts about Horcruxes in your theory of life instruments. This might be very meaningful to you. I got it back from somewhere else not long ago." Gu Yun was silent for a moment, then took out an old animal skin scroll from his sleeve. On it were four large characters written:

"Horcrux Compendium"!
"Two thousand years ago, a young man from the Soul Clan came here and had a debate with the Spirit Emperor of that time at the Source Equipment Academy for three days and three nights. Finally, when he left, he left behind this forbidden book." Gu Yun looked at the animal skin scroll in her hand, her eyes solemn and complicated.

When the young soul clan member came here, she had just entered the super-level Douhuang and was a source weapon apprentice under the Spirit Emperor of that era. She was lucky enough to listen to the debate and was shocked by the arrogance and madness of the young soul clan member.
As one of the Holy Sons of the Soul Clan, the young man's extreme ideas did not diminish his Soul Clan identity at all.
Refining living people into living souls, refining living souls into living spirits, refining dead objects into living objects
Not to mention doing this kind of behavior, just proposing this idea is an extremely crazy practice for the Yuanqi Continent.

Because the soul is of special importance to the Source Qi Continent.

"A thousand years ago, I heard that the young man from the Soul Clan rebuilt the Horcrux system outside. I wonder what level he has reached now." Gu Yun sighed. They can basically hear a little about the situation in the outside world every thousand years.

Jiang Lin took the "Horcrux Compendium" from Gu Yun with a serious expression. He only opened a corner and saw a line of small words that made his eyes flicker slightly:

"The soul and spirit are one, refine the soul into a tool, use the tool to carry the spirit, and use the spirit to prove the truth!" - Mohun Spark·Hun Tianjiang--Stay!
Hun Tianjiang is the contemporary soul craftsman!

Jiang Lin glanced at the content at the end with a complicated expression. The main content of "Horcrux Outline" was actually not much different from the "Horcrux Theory" he learned from Hun Ke'er later. It could even be said that "Horcrux Outline" was extremely simple. It just sorted out the main concepts of Horcruxes. It was basically the outline of the ideas of the complete version of "Horcrux Theory" later.

However, Jiang Lin saw another line of small words at the end of the "Soul Weapon Compendium". It was written to the Spirit Emperor of that era:

"Spirit Emperor, I will definitely find the perfect soul! Unfortunately, you won't be able to see it!"

It can be imagined that the Soul Craftsman at that time must have had a quarrel with the Spirit Emperor, and finally left after leaving this sentence.

"Hmm?" Jiang Lin carefully pondered the last words left by the Soul Craftsman. His eyes flashed, and his spiritual eyes began to flicker instantly. He adjusted the frequency thousands of times in an instant, and finally, at an extremely special frequency band that few creatures could perceive, he saw another sentence at the end of the animal skin scroll, just below the line of small words written by the Soul Craftsman:

"Oh, yes, I saw him. He's a very nice young man, isn't he, kid?"

"." Jiang Lin's eyes shook slightly, and he was silent for a long time. Finally, he solemnly put away the animal skin scroll, nodded slightly to Gu Yun, said goodbye and left, returning to his residence on the island in the middle of the lake.

Before leaving, Jiang Lin left these words to Gu Yun:

"Soulsmith, he succeeded. He deduced the Horcrux system to the ninth level. I am also his disciple."

"!!!" Gu Yun's pupils trembled slightly. She wanted to say something, but found that Jiang Lin had already left.
In the private refining room, Jiang Lin sat cross-legged on the cushion, staring at the animal skin scroll in his hand in a trance.

Soul Craftsman Spirit Emperor
"What are you daydreaming about again?" Seeing Jiang Lin still in a daze, Jiuyouque in the spiritual space couldn't help but interrupt.

"Master Jiu, am I special?" Jiang Lin came back to his senses, his dull eyes regained their depth, and he asked subconsciously.

"Everyone is special." Jiuyou Que subconsciously said some trash talk, but seeing that Jiang Lin didn't seem to be interested, he thought for a moment and then said: "Your soul is indeed very special, because it is unheard of that you can directly transform your soul into a spiritual flame like you do."

"Of course, this is not rigorous. To be more precise, it should be said that it is unheard of among living organisms." Jiuyou Que knew that Jiang Lin had begun to doubt his identity, so he explained.

There are roughly four realms of souls on the Douqi Continent: the mortal realm, the spiritual realm, the heavenly realm, and finally the imperial realm.

While Spirit Realm Souls are powerful, Jiang Lin's Spirit Realm Soul is uniquely powerful. The strength and functionality of the Divine Spirit Fire allow Jiang Lin to achieve a soul-type fire like the Void Devouring Flame even if he dies now.

"You mean, it's impossible on living things but possible on other things?" Before Jiang Lin could say anything, a group of little Peixuan in Jiang Lin's body said in unison.

"More or less," Jiuyouque nodded. However, the little Peixuans still asked, "Like that Spirit-Gathering Immortal Gourd?"

"Hmm?" Jiuyou Que subconsciously turned around to look at Xiao Peixuan and the others, raising his eyebrows: "Why do you have so many of them? Can you get a representative? It's very troublesome to chat like this!"

"Okay." The little Peixuans sighed, and then elected a little Peixuan king as the person in charge.

Jiuyouque: “.”

Jiang Lin: “.”

"I actually suspect that I am man-made." Jiang Lin couldn't stand the self-entertainment of the 'slug army' anymore, so he spoke out his doubts.

"What you said, who is not man-made? Who is not created by parents?" Little Peixuan King complained.

"." Jiang Lin was silent. On the one hand, he felt that what the little Pei Xuan King said made some sense. On the other hand, he felt that the little Pei Xuan King seemed to be a little itchy.

"Well. I feel like I don't have a father or a mother." Little Peixuan Wang seemed to think of something and immediately became a little depressed.

"." Jiang Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

"I don't have parents either." The chubby nine-footed sparrow showed a faint smile through its short beak.

"Huh?" Little Peixuan King was suddenly excited when he heard it: "Great! We are all orphans!"

"." Jiang Lin already wanted to pull Peixuan out and beat a few of them to death. Anyway, Peixuan can now split himself, so he can beat a few of them to death for the other little Peixuans to see.

"There are only two kinds of lives in the world: the spirit of heaven and earth, and the spirit of nature." Jiuyouque said softly.

"The spirits of heaven and earth are like me, born and raised by nature. The spirits of nature are like humans and demonic beasts, born and raised by nature."

"Of course, there are also some special ones, such as spiritual objects created by human power combined with heavenly power, such as spiritual weapons."

"And the typical example of this kind of spiritual object is the ancestor of the spirit race, the Soul-Yunxian Gourd."

"From your physical body, you are indeed artificial, born by your father and mother."

"From the perspective of the soul, you are indeed man-made, the result of special creation." Jiuyou Que was actually quite curious about how Jiang Lin came about, because Jiang Lin's perfect soul was really special.

As for the divine spiritual fire, it is the most special among the special ones.

Divine spiritual fire, this thing is something that Jiang Lin should not have, even though Jiang Lin is taking the spiritual weapon route.

"I know you've always been curious about how your Divine Spiritual Fire came about, but due to your perspective, you can't see it clearly enough. Logically speaking, Divine Spiritual Fire shouldn't have been born, but you're not a natural person."

"Now I understand how the people from Douqi Continent managed to get the fragments of the Emperor's Tripod out." Jiuyou Que suddenly shook his head, as if thinking of something, with a complicated look and sighing. These people are really crazy.
Under normal circumstances, the fragments of the Emperor's Tripod could not be taken out. Similarly, the Divine Spiritual Fire should not be born.
why?
Jiuyou Que, who had figured out some of the key issues, felt as if he had understood a lot of things, so he said to Jiang Lin:
"Rumor has it that the last entity with the same effect as the Divine Spirit Fire was the Spirit-Enriching Fairy Gourd. Yes, it was the ancestor of the Spirit Clan."

The Ling Clan is not the descendant of the Ling Emperor, but the Ling Emperor himself created a "descendant", and then the imperial clan evolved from this "descendant".

"The main function of the Soul-Enriching Immortal Gourd is to elevate the spirit, transform decay into magic, and turn ordinary things into spiritual objects."

"You were able to awaken the Divine Spiritual Fire on your own. One can only imagine what a risky and crazy plan the person behind this must have made." Jiuyou Que shook his head and continued:
"If I'm not mistaken, the Mohun Realm is currently missing a Fire Source Crystal. A thousand years ago, some idiot used some unknown means to snatch it away."

Jiuyou Que couldn't help but admire the execution of these lunatics. He couldn't imagine how they had managed to snatch it away. The fire source wasn't important; the Fire Source Crystal was the foundation of the Ancient Sea Secret Realm's survival! How could someone dare to snatch this thing? And succeed?

"." Although Jiuyou Que's guess was outrageous, when Jiang Lin thought about how the previous Spiritual Emperor risked his life to leave nine super source weapons for Jiuzhou Emperor Pass, everything made sense.

Thousands of years ago, a trialist from the Thunder Clan seized a Fire Source Crystal from the Source Energy Continent, and then used unknown means to transport it away.

The Fire Crystal Source manifested at least two things. One was used on Jiang Lin, and the other remained in the hands of the Thunder Clan.
Moreover, this behavior was too outrageous, so no one dared to speak out. Eventually, the fragments of the Emperor Ding were thrown back to Jiang Lin by the Thunder Clan in an extremely dramatic way, like garbage, and Jiang Lin took it back to the Ancient Sea Secret Realm.
"What would happen if the ancient sea secret realm collapsed?" Jiang Lin suddenly asked.

"Everyone will become an emperor directly, regardless of you or me." Jiuyouque said helplessly.

"Okay." Jiang Lin's eyes flickered slightly.

"These crazy people, I think I like them more and more."

"Ok?"

Jiuyouque looked at Jiang Lin: "???"
