36. Learning

A month later, A moonless Night_

In the bustling Heaven Duo empire city, Between the people, A figure wearing black hooded cloak moved quickly, went through many dark and narrow roads. After a while, that person went inside a house sneakily through the window.

.

.

The house lamp shone on his hooded face, showing little of his Handsomeness.

' is this the place that fire type great soul master lives?' Xie Yue thought to himself as he looked around the little house carefully.

After a while he found the person he needed. That soul master is sleeping inside his little room. Xie Yue soon came near him and silently summoned his martial soul. Two Moon blades, each in one hand.

Slash

With a slash, he cut off both legs of that great soul master.

With a shrill scream that soul master woke up from his Peaceful sleep.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh" after realizing that he had lost his two limbs, that soul master screamed even louder. He really don't know whats happening. He quickly used his soul power to stop the flowing blood. He felt that there is no future for himself anymore. How will he live without his legs?

"If you do one thing for me I'll save your life and reattach your limbs. My request is also very easy to do" right at this moment, Xie Yue spoke. But, is reattaching limbs that easy?

"You... Who the hell are you... What enmity do I have with you..." Hearing Xie Yues' Voice that soul master came to his senses. There was uncontrollable anger in his weak voice and also fear. He summoned his martial soul, a fire lamb materialized In his right hand as one white and one yellow soul ring shone around him. The first thing that soul master thought was to kill Xie Yue. He didn't listen anything Xie Yue said.

Seeing the fire soul master's reaction, Xie Yue understood what to do. Xie Yue moved his right hand. With a slash, that soul master lost his left hand.

"Aaahhh..." He screamed again.

"Last chance, if you don't do what I need, You can just go and die" Xie Yue said.

That Soul master tried something to say, but he fainted because of excessive blood Loss.

Seeing that soul master fainting, Xie Yue chopped his head off without any delay.

"So I can't handle someone with this method?" Xie Yue asked to himself. He want a fire soul master to help him melt his Whale glues. But he can't ask his sect to do that. What If someone guessed something about whale glue and him? So he didn't choose to ask help from them.

After thinking he thought about asking other soul masters and killing them afterwards to keep his secrets. But there is also a problem, he can't ask someone with higher soul power to melt the whale glues. That person must be someone who was weaker than him. If that person is stronger than him, he cant kill that person.

So Xie Yue collected all the informations about fire soul masters who live in Heaven Duo empire through his sect.

At first, he thought of using money to let them work, but after thinking for a bit, Xie Yue choose to use threats.

But He don't know how to use threats to let someone work for him. Even though he learnt etiquettes and how to interact with noble people, he don't know how to use threats to achieve his goals. He was newbie in this regard. But is there anyone who can teach him about this? No... So he must learn it by himself. If he learnt this tactic properly, it will also become useful to him in the future. So he choose this method as his First try and not money.

" But it seems I can't do it like that, chopping outright and threatening seems ineffective for this soul master. Should I try moderately?" Xie Yue thought to himself. He can simply use money to let them work for him. But Xie Yue is not in that much hurry. What he want is to learn how to control people using threats and fear. Improving himself in this regard is very important to Xie Yue.

"If I want to learn it properly, I may need to kill more people. Torturing them is also possible. I shall use trial and error method. But I try this on fire soul masters. I need them to do my work. Firstly I'll try my idea on other soul masters before using it on fire soul masters" Xie Yue made-up his mind. What if he have to kill more people to understand people's fear? He doesn't care about that. He even killed himself in his past life. He don't give a shit about other people lives.

What If he was found out by City guards or other powerful soul masters? Thats why he choose some introvert soul masters as his learning target. Even if they died, others won't care about them.

But there had been a big problem for him, that is being found out by his master or father. But that doesn't matter to him now, since he can perfectly cover up his killing aura after learning from moon pavilion. No one will find out that he had killed someone.

As for his secret guards, he shook them off on the way here so no one knows about his killing today.

" But I can't stay outside the sect for too long. I came out this time using the reason of visiting Tang Yuehua. I can only stay here for three days at maximum. I can't delay taking whale glue either " as he thought, Xie Yue headed towards another direction. He can learn torturing next time, Now he wants to use money to ask another soul master to melt him a whale glue. He can't delay taking whale glue. If he missed this chance to take whale glue, he have to wait for another month.

After a while,

Xie Yue went inside another house. There a middle aged soul master and his average looking wife was sleeping. After knowing there is no one other than these two, Xie Yue came out of their house and knocked the door.

Hearing the knocking, the husband and wife woke up and the husband opened the door.

That soul master looked at Xie Yue, Xie Yue didn't waste anymore time and took out two gold coins.

" Here.... Take this and help me melt this fully" as he said Xie Yue took out a 10,000 year old whale glue. Seeing the whale glue, that soul master's eyes shone with greed.

" Don't think anything funny" Xie Yue said as he summoned his martial soul. A 10,000 year whale glue is nearly 20000 gold coins in current era. But in the future It is priceless, A thousand year whale glue may got sold at the price of 1 million gold coins. But for the soul master Infront of him 20,000 gold coins are still a big money. He can only earn it after working his ass off for more than 30 years. His greed is understandable. So Xie Yue released his martial soul to let him come to his senses.

"Ah, Esteemed soul grandmaster. It will take an hour to melt it completely with my level 10+ soul power. I will also need to recover my soul power in between using meditation so I need 5 gold coins to do the work" That soul master controlled his greed after seeing the two yellow soul rings circling around Xie Yue. He knows about his strength very well... if he can kill Xie Yue, He will become rich overnight. But it's not possible with his strength. So he choose alternative way to earn more. He increased the melting price.

" Doesn't matter. Here" as he said Xie Yue gave him five gold coins.

"Haha, Come in Esteemed soul grandmaster" That soul master invited Xie Yue inside his house.

His wife felt little displeased when someone knocked their door at middle night. But seeing the gold coins, she shut her mouth and welcomed Xie Yue enthusiastically.

Nearly two hours later, that soul master completely melted that whale glue and gave it to Xie Yue with reluctant look in his eyes.

"Here, Esteemed great soul master, I have melted it completely. But I don't know why you asked me to melting this, whale glue is not used like this right?" As he gave it to Xie Yue, he asked his doubts. Why is someone wasting 20,000 gold coins for melting?

Xie Yue stretched out his hand and took the whale glue, the whale glue was hot, it has already changed its shape after melting. It had turned into a soft gelatinous substance.

It also emitted a strange fragrance.

After taking this whale glue and enveloping it using his soul power to resist the heat, Xie Yue answered the Doubt of That fire soul master.
