"I have a great grudge against your Yunyu Sect, and I am even at war with those three old ghosts. Not only do you not kill me, you actually want to subdue me?!"
Yao Chen's face was full of disbelief, and he even didn't understand what was in Lin Ran's head.
At this time, shouldn't he be killed directly, or handed over to his teacher or the high-level Soul Palace to seek greater benefits?
Also, what is this Dan Palace?
Yao Chen was full of doubts.
Looking at Yao Chen like this, Lin Ran had an indifferent expression.
If it was a year ago, when Lin Ran was deeply troubled by the Pure Yang Body Blood Realm and his cultivation was unable to improve at all, if he had the chance to kill Yao Chen and Xiao Yan, he would definitely do it by any means necessary.
The reason is very simple, the grievances between Yao Chen and his own Yunyu Sect determined the fate of the two. Once Yao Chen assisted Xiao Yan to grow up, the future of Yunyu Sect and the three Scorpion Demons would definitely be destroyed by the two.
but.
As Lin Ran's strength increased and his control over the situation improved, his mindset gradually changed.
His powerful strength gave him the capital to face everything with greater ease!
For Lin Ran now, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan can no longer be obstacles to his growth, and they are unlikely to pose any huge threat to him in the future.
The reason is simple.
After entering the Douluo realm and obtaining the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame and Burning Art, there was a huge gap in the strength that Lin Ran possessed compared to Xiao Yan and Yao Chen.
In addition, Lin Ran's plan has already been launched. Under such circumstances, unless Lin Ran dies suddenly, Xiao Yan and Yao Chen will not be able to escape from his control.
This is a kind of confidence.
Be confident in your own abilities and your future!
Since he could ensure his own safety, why not maximize the benefits?
With Gu Xun'er around, Lin Ran naturally couldn't touch Xiao Yan, but Yao Chen was different. Lin Ran had a lot of room to control this poor guy who was abandoned by the Yao clan, the former number one alchemist on the continent, and the Great Perfection of the Soul Realm.
If that's the case, why just kill it directly?
Interests are supreme.
Lin Ran smiled faintly: "Although you have an indelible hatred with my Yunyu Sect, and are mortal enemies with the three scorpion demons. But will this affect my ability to subdue you?"
"Uh." Yao Chen's face froze: "You are not the young master of the Yunyu Sect..."
"It is true that I am the young master of the Yunyu Sect, but Yao Chen, you are already this old, don't you still not understand one thing?" Lin Ran said calmly: "This world is never black and white, exquisite gray is the main tone of this world."
"My three masters are very good. Without them, there would be no Lin Ran today. But Yao Chen, I can't always rely on three teachers, let alone inherit the Yunyu Sect. Even if I am the young master of the Yunyu Sect."
"I need my own team."
Looking at the floating medicinal dust in front of him, Lin Ran spread out his palm. A golden token and a jade bottle were floating quietly in his palm.
"I know it's difficult to make the former Medicine Master submit to me with just a few words. But I believe that your desire to survive, your fear of death, and your unwillingness to accept the past are enough to push you to join my army willingly."
"What do you think, Master Yao Zun?"
Yao Chen stared at Lin Ran in a daze. In his original expectation, Lin Ran was a shameless person who inherited the legacy of the three scorpion demons. He was the kind of person who kept female slaves and was unscrupulous and lewd.
But at this moment, Yao Chen found that he was wrong.
This kid is indeed evil and dark at heart, but he is definitely not as lewd as the three scorpion demons.
In those dark eyes, Yao Chen seemed to see an abyss that could not be gazed at or crossed!
This guy's ambition...
"Hesitation is a sign of a change of heart. It's time for me to add chips." Lin Ran said with a smile: "I won't say anything else, but if you join me, I can give you a guarantee."
"Promise?" Yao Chen was slightly stunned.
"I have heard that although Yao Zun was the continent's number one alchemist and the head of Xingyun Pavilion, he was expelled from the clan because of some things, and even the names of his parents were not left on the clan monument. Is this true?"
"boom!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the soul power in the hall suddenly surged. Even though Yao Chen's soul was already extremely weak, his soul was still shaking at this moment, causing the hall to tremble!
The almost dissipated soul floated in the air, Yao Chen stared at Lin Ran with his eyes fixed, his voice in a low voice.
"How did you know this?"
"Everyone in the Medicine Clan knows about this, it's not that secret." Lin Ran shrugged. "I've met a member of the Medicine Clan before, and in their mouths, the famous Master Medicine is like a rat eating cheese in the sewer."
"hehe."
A cold light flashed in Yao Chen's eyes.
Over the years, he had long since let go of the affairs of the Medicine Clan. He was living a good life in the outside world, and he had become open-minded about the Medicine Clan and the Medicine Clan themselves.
But he never forgot his parents' last thoughts.
Before their death, his parents entrusted him with the hope of leaving their names on the clan monument, but not only did he fail to do it, he was also expelled from the Medicine Clan.
If nothing unexpected happens, Yao Chen can say that there is no hope for this matter in his lifetime.
And at this moment, Lin Ran actually told him that he could help him do this, how could Yao Chen remain calm? !
"Do you know what you are talking about? That is the Emperor's Bloodline!" Yao Chen stared at Lin Ran with a gloomy expression and said in a deep voice: "Your Yunyu Sect is not worth mentioning to it. As long as they want, crushing the three scorpion demons to death is no different from crushing an ant."
"Of course I know. After all, this is not the first time I have faced these so-called 'Emperor Veins'."
Lin Ran smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I never make empty promises. Since I said this, it means I have the confidence to do it. All you have to do is make a choice."
"Agree and get a brand new life and future."
"Refuse... Then just completely perish. I happen to have a Dou Zun-level corpse in my hand. With your soul, I can forge a Zun-level puppet. It would be a good ending."
"…"
Yao Chen fell into silence. He looked at Lin Ran, as if he wanted to see something from those dark eyes.
Lin Ran was calm and did not rush, waiting quietly for Yao Chen.
The empty hall fell into deathly silence. Yao Chen had an extremely complicated expression. He didn't know why, but Lin Ran's pair of dark eyes suddenly made his soul, which was almost falling into the endless abyss, show a ray of hope.
Maybe what Lin Ran said is true?
Yao Chen suddenly thought to himself.
He knew his own value. The value of a living Yao Chen was far greater than that of a dead Yao Chen. If Lin Ran could really do what he said, then what would it matter if he worked for Lin Ran?
Yao Chen had been to the top of the mountain and to the bottom of the valley in his life. He had experienced both wonderful and embarrassing things. His life was considered complete, if he had to say there was any regret.
Being bullied by Han Feng and destroying his ancestors was one thing, and failing to fulfill his parents' last wishes was another.
Perhaps one more thing can be added, that is, wanting to see Xiao Yan embark on the path of becoming a truly strong man?
And at this moment, if he agreed to join Lin Ran's men, then Han Feng, the traitor, would definitely be able to return to his team, and he could also continue to pay attention to Xiao Yan's growth, either openly or secretly.
Plus Lin Ran's promise.
Yao Chen was shocked to find that as long as he nodded and took the token, all the regrets in his life could be made up!
"It's such an irresistible temptation..."
Yao Chen shook his head with a wry smile and looked at Lin Ran who had a calm and indifferent expression. He suddenly felt that this little guy was terrifying. He actually gained the loyalty of a mortal enemy with just a few words.
Yao Chen raised his hand and activated his soul power. The golden token and jade bottle floating in Lin Ran's palm fell into his hands.
"A wise choice."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Seeing this, Lin Ran smiled with satisfaction: "Use the power of the soul to infuse it into the token, and you will understand everything. The jade bottle contains the soul-nourishing saliva, which will help you stabilize your soul."
"Once this is over, I will refine a new body for you. I won't say I can help you recover to your peak state, but it shouldn't be a problem to help you recover to 70% or 80%."
"Refine the body?"
Yao Chen was a little surprised.
"Since you have joined my Holy Sect, you are one of us. And you are the master of my Dan Palace. How can you be a master with only a soul? You must have a body."
"You are a generous sect leader, but refining a body is not as easy as refining a puppet, let alone refining a body that can withstand the strength of my soul."
Yao Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You know, the body I need must meet at least three conditions."
"First, the seventh-grade peak, and even the eighth-grade bone-melting blood-melting pill."
"Second, it must be the essence and blood of at least a seventh-level magical beast."
"Third, the skeleton of a Dou Zong strongman."
"If I were to refine a body that could accommodate an ordinary soul, it wouldn't be so troublesome. However, the stronger the soul power, the more demanding the body would be. My soul power is quite strong now, so if I don't use a stronger body, I'm afraid the soul will explode as soon as it enters the new body."
"In addition to meeting these three conditions, we also need a strong enough strange fire to refine it. However, I have already given the origin of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to that little fellow. We only need two strange fires ranked below fifteenth on the Strange Fire List, or a strange fire ranked within tenth."
Yao Chen described all the conditions for refining the body in detail, as if he wanted Lin Ran to understand how difficult it was.
But Lin Ran's expression remained calm and composed.
"If you don't have the skills, don't take on a job. Since I've asked for it, it means I have the ability to do it."
"Although I don't have the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, with the Saint Sect's background, it's only a matter of time before I can collect the medicinal materials for it. When the time comes, it won't be a problem whether you refine it yourself or let me do it."
Feeling Yao Chen's surprised gaze, Lin Ran paused slightly and added: "I am a seventh-grade alchemist myself, and you should have already felt my soul realm. I have entered the spiritual realm, and it is only a matter of time before I enter the eighth grade."
Yao Chen nodded with emotion. He knew Lin Ran's soul realm. Coupled with Lin Ran's strong, fiery and fierce fighting spirit, Yao Chen was not surprised to find that Lin Ran was an alchemist. But the fact that he was a seventh-grade alchemist really surprised Yao Chen.
Being able to cultivate both fighting spirit and alchemy to such a level at such a young age, the word "genius" is no longer enough to describe Lin Ran. Perhaps only the word "monster" can barely describe him.
Compared to Lin Ran, even the top young talents in the Medicine Clan who inherited the Emperor's Bloodline would be eclipsed!
"Secondly, the essence and bloodline of the seventh-level magic beast."
Lin Ran waved his hand lightly, and bottles and jars appeared one after another. Along with the appearance of these bottles and jars, an extremely thick bloody aura instantly filled the hall!
"This aura...are these the essence and blood of high-level magical beasts?!" Yao Chen was extremely shocked.
"good."
Lin Ran smiled indifferently, moved his palm slightly, and a body suddenly appeared in his hand.
As soon as this body appeared, the bloody aura in the entire hall was suppressed. Yao Chen's pupils shrank and he exclaimed in disbelief: "This is... the corpse of a Dou Zun?!"
Lin Ran smiled and waved his hand, putting all the bottles and jars and Dou Zun's corpse into the ring.
"As you can see, I have the essence and blood of monsters, and I also have the corpses of powerful men. As long as you gather the ingredients for the bone-growing and blood-melting pills and refine the pills, I can refine a body for you at any time."
"Wait, where's the strange fire? If there's no strange fire, even if all the materials are collected..."
With the rise of a brilliant firework, Yao Chen's words came to an abrupt end and he could not utter a single word.
He stared at the burning flame in Lin Ran's palm for a long time without saying a word. After a while, he exhaled. It was unclear whether he was relaxed because of the conditions for refining his body, or he was impressed by Lin Ran's profound background.
"This strange fire of yours is a fusion flame, right?"
Yao Chen looked at Lin Ran with a complicated expression: "What an amazing power! I clearly didn't detect the aura of the Burning Art on you, but you were able to fuse the strange fire. Is this really possible?"
"The essence of this world is the survival of the fittest. Whether it's humans or strange fire, it's actually the same. However, the mystery of the Burning Technique is indeed amazing."
Lin Ran shook his head and pursed his fingers. The burning Holy Golden Meteorite Heart Fire suddenly split into three flames of different colors. The left flame was azure, the right flame was invisible, and the middle flame was golden and magnificent!
"This azure flame is violent and fierce. It should be the Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire ranked 19th on the Strange Fire List. The colorless and invisible flame should be the Fallen Heart Flame ranked 14th on the Strange Fire List. But this golden flame..."
Yao Chen looked at the three strange fires in front of him in amazement. As an alchemist, he had no resistance to things like strange fires. When three strange fires appeared at once, even Yao Chen could not remain calm.
"Golden flames are extremely rare. On the list of strange flames, there are only the seventh-ranked Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire and the fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. Your flame..."
"It's the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame, but only half of it."
Lin Ran did not try to guess the riddle. He waved his hand casually, and the three strange fires once again transformed into the Holy Golden Meteorite Heart Fire: "After these three strange fires merge, I will call it the Holy Golden Meteorite Heart Fire."
"It's actually the fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame?!" Yao Chen's pupils shrank in amazement. No wonder even the Ten Thousand Beast Spiritual Fire blessed by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire felt suffocated and terrified. This flame is actually the fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame on the Strange Fire List!
Although it is only half, it has the fusion of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and the Falling Heart Flame. The strength of this Holy Gold Falling Heart Fire is definitely comparable to the complete version of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, and even surpasses it!
"Without relying on the Burning Art, it can actually fuse three kinds of strange fire. Today, this old man has really opened his eyes!"
Yao Chen was filled with emotion and amazement.
No wonder Lin Ran was so calm and indifferent. With such a foundation, refining a body for him would probably be as easy as Lin Ran said.
With this thought in mind, Yao Chen sighed again, and without hesitation, he infused his soul power into the golden order.
