Chapter 248 Temporary Separation
Although there is only one rank between the eighth and seventh ranks, they are truly worlds apart.

Once it reaches the eighth rank, the elixir possesses some basic intelligence and can even be considered a living being.

It's not surprising at all that many peak seventh-grade alchemists are stuck at the eighth-grade bottleneck for their entire lives.

Lin Yu only took three days to advance from the sixth rank to the eighth rank. Such speed is unprecedented, not only in the current Dou Qi Continent, but also in the entire history of the continent!

Of course, Xiao Yan also knew that this was mainly because Lin Yu's soul power was strong enough.

The Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, Celestial Realm, and Emperor Realm are the four soul realms in the Doupo world.

To refine pills of grade eight or higher, one's soul must reach the corresponding realm.

This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult threshold for alchemists in the Doupo world, but for Lin Yu, it is a basic condition he has possessed from the very beginning.

Although Xiao Yan does not yet know Lin Yu's true identity, judging from the methods he has already demonstrated, he is roughly estimated to be at least at the Heavenly Realm level.

For Lin Yu, reaching the Spirit Realm was all that was needed to become an eighth-grade alchemist, a feat that could be easily accomplished.

When they came to their senses, the two-colored thunderclouds above the valley had already taken shape, with streaks of blue and silver lightning leaping and weaving between the clouds, radiating an extremely oppressive aura.

Sensing the terrifying power of the thunder, Xiao Zi couldn't help but show fear and shrank behind Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, although his strength was one level lower than Xiao Zi's, was not afraid of the powerful thunder.

This is quite normal. Anyone who sees how easily Lin Yu summons and dismisses those Dan Lei would find it hard to feel any awe towards them anymore.

Sure enough, at the moment when the thunder in the clouds reached its peak, a faint call came from the valley below.

"Come!"

Before the words were even finished, the power of heaven and earth in the entire valley surged violently.

Strengths of spatial energy spread rapidly, sealing off the entire sky like a cage.

The next second, a terrifying suction force was generated out of nowhere, and the thunderclouds above the valley instantly twisted. The blue and silver lightning bolts, like summoned lightning snakes, rushed out of the clouds and surged wildly towards the white-clad figure below.

Before long, the thunderclouds in the sky were dispersed by that suction force.

Streaks of lightning, like rivers flowing into the sea, converged into the jade bottle in the white-robed youth's hand.

Once the bottle was plugged, the thunderous power that permeated the valley completely dissipated, leaving only the healing cracks in the sky as proof of what had happened there.

"It really was Brother Lin who did it..."

With a sigh, Xiao Yan immediately circulated his Dou Qi, causing a pair of purple cloud wings to sprout from his back. He then carried the still-frightened Xiao Zi and flew towards the white-robed youth floating in the air.

"Congratulations, brother! You've even managed to refine an eighth-grade pill!"

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

Lin Yu glanced at Xiao Yan flying towards him, then with a flick of his sleeve, he put away the jade bottle and the pills he had just refined. He then smiled and said to him, "Brother, you flatter me!"

"I am only born with a strong soul. In terms of alchemy skills alone, there is still a certain gap between me and a true grandmaster."

Although they had only spent three days together, Xiao Yan had already gained some understanding of Lin Yu's temperament.

This guy appears serious on the surface, but he's actually quite reserved and secretly sassy. He only becomes so humble when he's feeling pleased with himself.

If things were really as bad as he described, the truth would probably be quite different once he said it!

Xiao Yan knew perfectly well what was going on, so he didn't bother with further flattery and instead stared intently at Lin Yu's sleeve.

"Brother, I've never seen an eighth-grade pill in my life. Why did you put it away?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just a low-grade eighth rank. It can't even condense its spiritual energy into a pill beast. It would be embarrassing to show it off."

"I'll show off to you when I refine a high-grade pill of the eighth rank or above!"

Is being a low-ranking eighth-grade official really shameful?

Then what about the pills I'm refining now?
Xiao Yan glanced at Lin Yu speechlessly, expressing his strong contempt for Lin Yu's Versailles-like behavior.

Just then, an extremely powerful energy fluctuation came from the valley hut below.

Xiao Yan's heart stirred, and he looked down to see a purple light flying out of the small house. It swelled in mid-air and eventually transformed into a colossal beast over sixty meters long, hovering behind Lin Yu.

Sensing the aura emanating from the giant beast, Xiao Yan looked surprised and couldn't help but say:

"You've already broken through to the Dou Zong level?"

"good."

A deep and majestic voice came from ahead.

Xiao Yan blinked, his expression seemingly a little strange.

To be honest, it's no wonder he mistook the Amethyst Winged Lion King's gender; this guy's voice was even purer than a male lion's, with absolutely no feminine characteristics.

Even if it were someone else, they wouldn't recognize that this is a female, right?

Lin Yu noticed the strange look on his face and seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He immediately smiled and transmitted his voice, "After all, the magical beast form has limitations in terms of physical structure. When she transforms into a human in the future, her voice will naturally change."

Having his thoughts read, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

But he quickly calmed himself down and looked at Lin Yu with a complicated expression, saying:
"Now that the Amethyst Winged Lion King has broken through to the Dou Zong realm, then, brother, you..."

"Not bad!"

Lin Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "There are still six hours left before the countdown ends. I plan to take this opportunity to travel around this world, do some things, and leave some reputation so that I can give you a strong background in the future."

"..."

Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said, "No, please don't!"

"This is nothing, don't trouble yourself. Just enjoy your meal and have fun, and don't worry about my affairs!" Lin Yu's smile froze, then he said irritably, "What, worried I'll make enemies for you?"

nonsense!

Xiao Yan now has a deep understanding of the unreliability hidden beneath Lin Yu's serious exterior.

If this guy is released, not only will the remote Gama Empire be thrown into chaos, but the entire Central Continent will probably be thrown into disarray!
"Don't worry, I've never liked making enemies."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Usually, if there's a grudge, it's settled on the spot, so it definitely won't implicate you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's bitter smile did not improve at all.

Because what he was most worried about wasn't that at all, but rather Lin Yu's tendency to be a fun-loving person!
Although this guy usually acts very reliable, he can show his fun-loving side when certain topics are brought up.

For example, Lin Yu was very interested in his relationship with Xun'er.

In just three days, they had urged him to formally propose marriage to the ancient clan more than once.

If, during this trip, Lin Yu suddenly gets the urge to venture into the ancient realm and insists on proposing marriage to the ancient clan on behalf of Xiao Yan, then things could get really interesting!
"Little Yanzi, I am very disappointed in you!"

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "So, in your heart, this is the kind of person I am?"

Xiao Yan remained unmoved and instead asked, "Then are you?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "It seems that's really true!"

Xiao Yan: "..."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "But don't worry, I always respect your choices. Since you don't intend to use my name to propose marriage to the ancient clan, I naturally won't do anything unnecessary."

Xiao Yan asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Lin Yu said irritably, "Nonsense!"

Seeing his attitude, Xiao Yan felt relieved.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan sighed and said, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to propose marriage, but one thing at a time. At least until I resolve my issues with Nalan Yanran, I don't want to consider this matter..."

As the two were talking, Yao Lao's soul finally floated up.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly shut up and changed the subject, asking, "Are you planning to leave now?"

"of course."

Lin Yu nodded, then looked at the old doctor beside him and said softly, "But before I leave, there is something I need to ask Brother Yao for his opinion on."

...Brother Medicine?
Xiao Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, and then his expression turned strange.

The old apothecary, however, didn't seem to care at all. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?"

Lin Yu said casually, "On my way there, I might pass through the Black Corner Region. I heard that Brother Yao's traitorous disciple is there. Do you need my help to deal with him?"

The traitor... Han Feng?

The old doctor's face darkened.

After thinking it over, he shook his head and looked at Xiao Yan softly, saying, "I appreciate Brother Lin's kindness, but this is an internal conflict within my sect. Let my disciple handle the matter of cleaning up the sect!"

Xiao Yan's expression turned solemn, and he slowly nodded, saying, "Teacher, rest assured, this disciple will definitely make that beast pay the price he deserves!"

Lin Yu nodded and said, "Since Brother Yao insists, then I will not presume to do so!"

After speaking, Lin Yu turned to look at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had already broken through to the seventh rank.

At this moment, she was hovering in front of Xiao Zi, gently instructing her on something.

Noticing Lin Yu's gaze, the Amethyst Winged Lion King paused, then moved its purple wings, sending Little Purple to Xiao Yan's side before flying to Lin Yu's feet.

Looking at the reluctance on Xiao Zi's face, Xiao Yan sighed inwardly and said, "Please rest assured, senior, with Xiao Yan here, I will never let Xiao Zi suffer the slightest grievance!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll leave it to Young Master Xiao!"

Lin Yu glanced at the Amethyst Winged Lion King at his feet and transmitted his voice, "Rest assured, my promise still stands. Once this matter is resolved, as long as you choose freedom, I will reunite you with your young child..."

Upon hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was startled and hurriedly replied, "No, my lord, you have misunderstood!"

"The little beast has decided to follow its master for life, and has no other thoughts whatsoever!"

Although the Amethyst Winged Lion King is a high-level magical beast, it is still just a magical beast and has not formed a social group similar to humans like the Ancient Void Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

In the world of Warcraft, once the cubs grow up, they will eventually fly solo.

Even if the Amethyst Winged Lion King is reluctant now, he will have to separate from Little Purple sooner or later. Naturally, he cannot give up this opportunity, which is comparable to a divine destiny, for the sake of freedom.

Sensing the thoughts of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Lin Yu nodded, knowing that these were indeed her true feelings.

With the Bai Ze Wanling Tu (a magical painting depicting countless spirits), Lin Yu could see through all her thoughts. The reason he asked such a question was simply out of habit, wanting to give her a choice.

Seeing her unwavering resolve, Lin Yu stopped asking questions.

After formally bidding farewell to Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, now a seventh-tier magical beast, roared to the sky, flapped its wings, and soared into the high sky with a howling wind.

Watching Lin Yu and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King depart, Xiao Yan's expression was somewhat complicated.

Seeing the expression on his face, the old herbalist beside him smiled slightly and said, "What, are you envious?"

"This is not..."

Xiao Yan snapped out of his reverie and shook his head, saying, "I just couldn't help but feel emotional when I thought about what would happen next!"

He paused, then turned to look at the old apothecary, his tone strange, and said, "More than that, I'd like to know, Master, when did you start calling him Brother Lin?"
