Start from refining weapons in Doupo Xiuxian

"This is a map of the Holy Fire Domain, as well as some geographical records of mountains and rivers, and this." Shi Lei took out a small, dusty tripod from the shelf and threw it directly to Xiao Yan: "Xuanqi Cauldron, this is considered the best source cauldron I have. It was given to me by an old friend. I don't have any use for it now, so I'm giving it to you, kid."

"This tripod has the ability to change its size at will. At the same time, it has the power of heaven and earth inside, which can accommodate source beasts for refining." Shi Lei explained the function of the Xuanqi Ding to Xiao Yan, who was surprised.

A good Source Cauldron will be able to more efficiently refine Source Crystals. There's a huge difference between the best and worst Source Cauldrons. For example, the best can extract three Source Crystals from a single Source Beast, while the worst may only be able to extract one.

"Huh?" Xiao Yan and the others were shocked when they heard this. Isn't this the effect of the Qiankun Ding in the Dou Qi world? The Qingxuan Ding in Jiang Lin's hand has this effect.

"Senior," Xiao Yan quickly threw his doubts to the seemingly easygoing Shi Lei. Upon hearing this, Shi Lei smiled meaningfully and said, "The Qiankun Cauldron? It's just that, really. In Holy Fire City, there's the best 'Source Weapon Master' in the Source Qi Continent. If you have any questions, feel free to seek him out. He'll give you the answers you seek."

"Anyway, you just need to know that people outside can come in, but people inside cannot go out. The birth of Yuan Ding is much earlier than Qian Kun Ding." Shi Lei smiled. The answer was actually very clear.

"Okay, that's basically all I have to say. You can set off for Holy Fire City. There, the continent's best talents gather, and you will all gain something from it."

"Oh, by the way, you don't need fire if you want to leave here. In fact, you can leave without fire, but you will be deprived of some energy. However, there is still a chance. If you encounter something irresistible, you can choose to give up and try not to lose your life." As an old man, the importance of Shi Lei's words is self-evident. Not everything in this world has to follow the rules. There can be exceptions, but ordinary people cannot find those channels.

Shi Lei understood that Xiao Yan and his group were definitely trying to fight for the Fire Seed and complete the trial. However, there were only nine Fire Seeds available at any one time, and Xiao Yan's group was quite large. Although the Fire Seeds were usually acquired by the eight clans in the past, there was still a great risk.

Therefore, Shi Lei directly provided the descendants of these allies with an additional way of survival that they had only gradually discovered in the last few thousand years. The value of this information was extremely valuable, almost providing Xiao Yan and others with a bottom line promise.

"Of course, this is an unusual situation. Generally speaking, the obstacles you encounter on this journey won't be very great." Shi Lei gave Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er a deep look, then smiled and said, "You're actually quite lucky. Go to Holy Fire City and seek the help of the Emperor. That will reduce the difficulty of your trial."

"As for you..." Shi Lei looked at Zi Yan, who claimed to be an ordinary person and Jiang Lin's master. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Little girls from the Dragon Clan are rare. Go to Holy Fire City and find the Dragon Emperor. He should be very happy to see you."

If it was an ordinary dragon, Shi Lei would have made a mistake, but what was a coincidence was that Shi Lei was very familiar with the blood aura on Zi Yan's body.

"And you..." Shi Lei looked at Cai Lin who was looking expectant, then shook his head.

"Snake people? I have some impression of them, but not much."

The snake people migrated later. In Shi Lei's time, the snake people were still in the beast domain.

Chapter 609: Breakthrough to Dou Huang! Eighth-rank weapon refiner!

"." Feeling as if she was insulted, Cai Lin was silent for a moment, but ultimately did not say anything. She just nodded expressionlessly, indicating that she did not mind.

"However, there are indeed a lot of snake-man source beasts in this desert. Many times, the second-generation source beasts will turn into the appearance of snake-man source beasts. I think they must have suffered some influence." Shi Lei murmured to himself. Cai Lin and others wanted to ask more, but Shi Lei directly urged them to leave.

"It seems that the elder from the Stone Clan didn't tell us everything." Xiao Yan and the others checked some supplies in Huanglian Town, and used some unused resources in their hands to exchange for some daily necessities, and then left Huanglian Town.

"We can't always rely on others. We still need to get to Holy Fire City. The information says we must get there within a month and then face the first test." Gu Xun'er shook her head. Walking in the scorching desert, she looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, try the refining effect of the source crystal. If it works, our subsequent plans may change."

"We don't necessarily have to go to Holy Fire City. Hiding behind Holy Fire City won't be a problem either." Little Medical Fairy shook her head and offered another 'passing strategy'. From beginning to end, the Ancient Sea Trial focused not on the process but the outcome.

For example, the three strange passing conditions, each one is a regulation that must be obtained personally.

As the trial begins, the situation in Holy Fire City will inevitably become more and more dangerous. Therefore, some trial teams will leave the weaker members of the team behind until those weaker teammates break through to the Douhuang level and have some ability to protect themselves, and then they will keep them by their side.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time. I'll try the effect." Xiao Yan nodded, spread his hands, and summoned the small and exquisite Xuanqi Ding. At the same time, he took out the source beast corpses from the space ring, and used the simple control secret method taught by Shi Lei to directly let the Xuanqi Ding absorb the source beast corpses. Then Xiao Yan directly used the strange fire to start refining.

In about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, five source crystals appeared in the Xuanqi Cauldron.

"Hey, not bad, this refining efficiency is very strong." Xiao Yan looked at the five source crystals in the Xuanqi Ding, his face lit up with joy, and then he thought of something, so he stopped using the strange fire and took out another source beast corpse with a cultivation level not much different from his own. After more than half an incense stick of time, there were four more source crystals in the Xuanqi Ding.

"Sure enough." Although one source crystal was missing, Xiao Yan discovered something pretty good, that is, not only would the source cauldron affect the refining efficiency, but the strange fire would also affect the refining efficiency.

In one go, Xiao Yan directly refined another Douhuang-level source beast corpse. This time it took a little longer, but in just two incense sticks of time, Xiao Yan directly refined twenty source crystals!

"We've achieved freedom of the Source Crystal! Guys!" Xiao Yan was very surprised by this result. "Although I don't know the results of other teams, the Xuan Qi Ding is at least twice as efficient as other teams, and the Strange Fire will continue to increase its efficiency. Combined, our gains should be 300% of those of other ordinary teams!"

When I think about how others can only get 10 source crystals after working hard, while I can get 30 directly, I feel so happy!

"It just so happens that my Dou Qi is almost used up. It's time to use source crystals to replenish energy." Xiao Yan divided the 29 source crystals he finally got equally. Cai Lin, Gu Xun'er, Xiao Lan and Xiao Yixian each got five, and Xiao Yan only kept four for himself.

"This cauldron is a good thing, so I only need four of them. If I continue to refine them later, I will take more." Xiao Yan explained to everyone that he was not at a disadvantage because he got the Xuanqi Cauldron. Later, he could even use the combination of the Xuanqi Cauldron and the strange fire to set up a stall and make a profit.

"Forget it, I'll give you mine first. I'm now at the peak of Douhuang. There is a strange pressure in this world, and I can't break through. I'll keep two to restore my energy, and the rest will be given to you." Cai Lin kept two source crystals to restore his energy, and gave the remaining three to Xiao Lan and Xiao Yan.

Xiao Lan has the lowest cultivation level here and can get the greatest benefits. Therefore, Cai Lin decided to give priority to Xiao Lan, who is only at the 'Early Fighting King' level' with the source crystals he gets later, so as to maximize the overall strength of the team.

"Thank you very much, Sister Cai Lin!" Xiao Lan and Xiao Yan said gratefully.

"It's okay. With the help of Lingjiang, we will have plenty of opportunities to obtain source crystals in the future. It's best to improve your strength in the early stage, especially to let the four of you Dou Wangs be promoted to Dou Huangs and unlock the flying ability first." Cai Lin smiled gently.

Everyone highly agreed with Cai Lin's words. When it comes to making money, no one can beat Jiang Lin, a monster covered in black technology. Wherever Jiang Lin has been for a long time, everyone will eventually become Jiang Lin's "suck-ups".

The nickname "Cultivation Steamroller" wasn't earned for nothing. As long as someone discovered Jiang Lin's ability to make cultivation easier and easier, he naturally attracted a large group of "slavers." And unlike alchemists, while elixirs are consumable and disposable, the cultivation system Jiang Lin had developed was long-lasting and could be used continuously. While the short-term effects might not be as good as the elixirs' "A golden elixir enters my belly, and I realize my destiny is my own," he said, "in the long run, Jiang Lin's auxiliary fighting device will ultimately be far more effective."

In particular, elixirs are destined to be affordable only by a few elites, but Jiang Lin’s training weapon can be used by anyone.

What? You said Jiang Lin would get dizzy after using his training weapon for a long time?

He doesn't dislike you, but you do, right?

"Okay, let's start practicing." Xiao Yan nodded, then began to hold a source crystal and tried to absorb the energy inside. Soon he found that an extremely pure energy was flowing into his body along the source crystal in his hand. The originally exhausted Dou Qi Dantian was like a long-awaited rain, and was absorbing the pure source energy with an extremely greedy and enjoyable attitude.

Soon Xiao Yan discovered that his Dou Qi Dantian, which was several times stronger than that of an average nine-star Dou Wang, was quickly filled up, while the source crystal in his hand only dimmed a little.

"What a good stuff!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh after absorbing the source crystals. He opened his eyes and found that the others also showed the same amazed expression after absorbing the source crystals.

"Let's walk for a distance first, and then practice while we travel." Little Medical Fairy suggested. No one objected, and they began to look for the source beast's traces while practicing silently.

A day later, when Xiao Yan completely absorbed the source crystal, his bottleneck could no longer be suppressed and he broke through on the spot. Seeing this, the others changed their plans and began to protect Xiao Yan, waiting for him to break through.

Another day passed, and Xiao Yan finally completed his breakthrough and successfully advanced to the Dou Huang realm. At the same time, the movement of his breakthrough also attracted the attention of other sea clan trial teams nearby. However, Cai Lin's aura of a peak nine-star Dou Huang made those trial teams choose not to make trouble, but pretended not to know him and left quickly.

However, just because the sea clan trial team didn't dare to attack, it didn't mean that the surrounding source beasts didn't dare to attack.

So, before Xiao Yan completed his breakthrough, more than ten source beasts attacked them, including three Dou Huang-level source beasts. However, thanks to the powerful fighting power of Zi Yan and Cai Lin, two of the three emperor-level source beasts were killed in an instant, and the other one was poisoned by Xiao Yixian's Yingyue Umbrella. Not only was the Dou Huang source beast poisoned, but when Xiao Yixian released a stream of light purple poisonous gas, the surrounding Dou Wang source beasts that were suppressed by Gu Xun'er's Xutianjie Wheel were also poisoned.

"Boss, your poison gas is poisonous!" After Xiao Yan broke through to the Douhuang realm, he put the corpses of the source beasts that were killed by Zi Yan and Cai Lin into the Xuanqi Ding and refined them. Then he found that the number of source crystals he obtained was 20% less than expected!

"If the poison gas is not poisonous, can it still be called poison gas?" Zi Yan couldn't help but complain. Cai Lin, Gu Xun'er and others beside her couldn't help but twitch their lips when they heard it.

"Oh no." Xiao Yan also found that what he said was a little strange, so he shared his discovery: "Although it may feel different, but this is the reality. Originally, the corpse that could be refined into five source crystals under various amplifications can now only be refined into four, which is 20% less."

Everyone: "."

"This is indeed a problem." Zi Yan, who understood the importance of source crystals, nodded immediately after hearing this. The resources for cultivation were directly reduced by 20%. Who could bear this?

"It should be that Sister Xian'er's life weapon is a little different?" Gu Xun'er thought about it and felt that the evil poison body should not be able to do this.

"Then I'll try to use the Yingyue Umbrella less often from now on." Little Medical Immortal thought for a moment, figuring that the End Qi and the Source Qi within the Origin Beast might be undergoing some kind of chemical reaction, directly causing some miraculous change in the energy environment within the Origin Beast.

Jiang Lin told her that the ultimate purpose of the Yingyue Umbrella of the End was to help her upgrade her evil poison body into an end body. The end energy was a strange power that was refined from the extremely compressed evil poison gas and could make all things annihilate and cause energy levels to collapse.

It just happened to combine with Jiang Lin's divine spiritual fire, forming a wonderful combination of one rising and one falling, one yin and one yang.

"Yeah, no matter what, this is also a great harvest." Xiao Yan smiled at everyone, and then spent some time to refine all the corpses of the source beasts. Although the output was reduced due to the influence of Xiao Yixian's Ending Aura, Xiao Yan still refined more than sixty source crystals in the end.

And most of these source crystals were distributed to Xiaolan, Guxun'er, and Xiao Yixian.

In Xiao Yan's words, everyone is a whole, and the most important thing is to prioritize improving the team's strength. For other things, they can go to the Holy Fire City to find Jiang Lin.

On the one hand, Xiao Yan's production efficiency was three times that of an average team, so they weren't short of Source Crystals. On the other hand, at the end of this journey, Jiang Lin was there to provide support. Therefore, the distribution of Source Crystals within Xiao Yan's team was quite arbitrary.

The others had no objections, so they continued on their journey. Along the way, they would prioritize distributing the source crystals they obtained to those with the lowest realm in the team, to at least ensure that everyone could break through to the Douhuang realm.

The energy conversion effect of the source crystal was extremely terrifying. In just three days, Gu Xun'er reached her bottleneck and was ready to break through.

Then came the Little Doctor Fairy.

In Holy Fire City, at the gate of Holy Fire Source Academy, Jiang Lin, dressed in black, was standing in front of the gate, looking at the various strange humanoid creatures around him, wondering how to enter.

"Have you heard? I heard that there is a Source Equipment Conference held by Lord Yunhuang today, and everyone can sign up to participate!"

"Hey! Yuanzhou is about to start rioting again. Lord Yunhuang may be preparing to accept those trial participants from the outside world."

"I heard that Lord Yun Huang's Origin Equipment Conference has three rounds in total, one every nine days. Today is the first round. I'm afraid not many people can make it in such a short time."

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? A small-scale beast tide suddenly broke out somewhere in the Holy Fire Domain. I just heard from the outside trial participants that they were unlucky. I don't know who was so unlucky. I heard that a powerful emperor has already gone to investigate."

"."

Jiang Lin was about to ask more questions when he heard the various passersby around him, like pre-defined NPCs, chatting and revealing a lot of information.

Of course, this is not what those people specifically said, but Jiang Lin's perception is very sharp. He just stands outside, and all the conversation information of those nearby will be transmitted to his ears, and then he will gather it into various information.

"The Source Equipment Conference?" Jiang Lin's eyes flickered slightly. Looking at the domineering gate in front of him that looked like a temple, he basically had a basic understanding of this so-called Source Equipment Conference.

If Jiang Lin guessed correctly, this so-called Source Equipment Conference was basically a technical exchange in the field of equipment refining between the Source Qi Continent and the Dou Qi Continent.

This is why the super-powerful person, Yun Huang, would convene source equipment conferences in batches every time a trial begins.

"Hello, how do I participate in the Source Equipment Conference?" Jiang Lin, who instantly had a plan in mind, walked straight forward and asked the security guard who was almost a three-star Douhuang.

There are so many Dou Huangs on the Yuanqi Continent that they are worse than dogs. Because as long as you can live longer, you can basically break through to the Dou Huang level. Of course, if you want to become a super-level Dou Huang, it depends entirely on your talent.

"Huh? An outsider?" The Douhuang guard had been paying attention to Jiang Lin for a long time. This guy was really too deliberate. Not only was he dressed in black, but he was also wearing a mask. He looked like a bad guy no matter how you looked at him, especially since he was wandering outside this kind of academy. If he hadn't acted too aggressively, he would have almost been unable to resist going up and punching him.

"Can you tell me your level as a weapon refiner? I need to register." The guard Douhuang was still very diligent and took out a mysterious little card.

"Eighth-rank weapon refiner." When you go out, your identity is given by yourself, Jiang Lin said calmly.

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.
