Catching the Soul Palace to Pluck Wool

"Hey, Hun Xuzi, can you hear me? If I refine pills, can you give me some extra points?"

Xiao Yan had figured it out. No matter what, he was going to fleece the Soul Palace for all it was worth. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This challenge test with Soul Points was a one-time deal. Xiao Yan figured that if he quit now, subsequent challenges wouldn't be the same.

Since Hun Xuzi had told him to go to the Soul Palace with the Soul Token, it was only right to get some benefits.

[Jie jie jie]

Hearing this strange laughter in his Soul Voice, Xiao Yan knew that it must be some old geezer from the Soul Palace. Young people didn't seem to have this habit.

"You old thing, you wouldn't have been monitoring me the whole time, would you?" Xiao Yan said as he slowly sat up in his Soul Body.

Hun Xuzi's Soul Voice came from all directions: [You are using the Soul Token I gave you to challenge the Soul Path, of course I know.]

Xiao Yan nonchalantly shrugged, not saying anything. What could a little Dou Zhe like him say? Even if Hun Xuzi suddenly attacked and killed him, he could only die in vain.

Having lived in this world for sixteen years, Xiao Yan understood very well that this was a world where the strong were respected, and the weak had no rights.

With a buzz, the space in front of Xiao Yan rippled, and Hun Xuzi's Soul projection slowly appeared.

Seeing Hun Xuzi appear, Xiao Yan didn't hold back, waving the Soul Token a few times and saying, "Didn't you say that as long as I could remove the poison, I could take this token to the Soul Palace for a reward?"

"Jie jie, I said that if you didn't die, I would consider taking you as a disciple." Hun Xuzi exposed Xiao Yan's lie. Although he was old, he wasn't senile and remembered what he said.

Xiao Yan shook his head and refused, "I've heard about the Soul Palace's deeds, so I'll pass on being your disciple. I have those alchemy techniques, and that's enough. I'm not joining the Soul Palace to learn alchemy from you."

Hun Xuzi laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, "Hahaha, someone actually refused Hun Xuzi's guidance in alchemy."

"Do you know that this old man is the only Alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent who can refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pills?"

Ninth Grade Pills were already the pinnacle of pills on the Dou Qi Continent. Ninth Grade Pills were divided into three types: Ninth Grade Treasure Pills, Ninth Grade Mysterious Pills, and Ninth Grade Golden Pills.

Not to mention the highest-level Golden Pill, even the Mysterious Pill hadn't been seen on the Dou Qi Continent for a hundred years.

Hun Xuzi wasn't lying about being able to refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pills; he indeed had the ability.

Xiao Yan picked his ear, clearly absent-minded during Hun Xuzi's boasting. Whether it was Eighth Grade, Ninth Grade, or Emperor Grade, this level was too high for Xiao Yan right now.

Right now, Xiao Yan only cared about Cultivation Methods for his Soul and collecting Strange Flames to evolve his Burning Art and increase his strength. He couldn't handle anything else even if he wanted to.

"Alright, alright, although I'm self-taught in alchemy, I understand that the master-disciple relationship is very important for Alchemists. You can't just accept disciples casually, especially not a high-level Alchemist like you. I can't afford it." Xiao Yan directly refused. For an Alchemist of Hun Xuzi's level to suddenly say he wanted to take him as a disciple, Xiao Yan didn't believe it for a second.

Do you think I, Xiao Yan, am joking with you with my eight hundred schemes? A strange look flashed in Hun Xuzi's old eyes. He didn't expect a sixteen-year-old boy to be so experienced. If it were any other Alchemist, they would be trying their best to become a disciple if a high-grade Alchemist wanted to take them in.

Hun Xuzi's intention to take Xiao Yan as a disciple was indeed for a purpose. The Soul Clan needed to refine an extremely special pill. Even with Hun Xuzi's alchemy skills being the best on the Dou Qi Continent and the help of the Void Swallowing Flame, which ranked second on the Strange Flame Ranking List, he still didn't have much confidence in succeeding.

Therefore, he needed a Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill Alchemist to cooperate with him to have a chance of successfully refining it.

And Xiao Yan's alchemy talent was indeed very high, so Hun Xuzi set his sights on Xiao Yan.

Hun Xuzi smiled wickedly and said, "Boy, you have a good temperament. Then I'll get straight to the point. I need an Alchemist who can refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pills to cooperate with me in refining a special pill. There are no more than five Alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent who can refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pills, but none of them can cooperate with me."

Xiao Yan looked puzzled and asked, "You mean you want me to cooperate with you in refining pills when I can refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pills?"

Seeing Hun Xuzi nod, Xiao Yan thought the old man was crazy.

The entire Dou Qi Continent could count the people who could refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pills on one hand. He was only sixteen years old and hadn't even gone to the Alchemist Guild to certify his Alchemist level. How could he be so sure that he, Xiao Yan, could reach that level? But he couldn't blame Hun Xuzi. The Soul Clan's disciples were born with strong Soul power, but their alchemy talent was terrible. There weren't many alchemy inheritances within the clan either. Hun Xuzi had to sneak out to learn them himself.

In addition, the Soul Clan had to hunt Soul Bodies everywhere for some reason, and Alchemists' Soul Bodies were the best, so they had a bloody feud with the Alchemist organization Pill Tower on the Dou Qi Continent, and everyone was shouting to kill them.

There was really no way to find a second Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill Alchemist.

Xiao Yan's eyes darted around, and an idea came to him. He said with a smile, "Okay. But with my current cultivation level, reaching the Ninth Grade Alchemist level is too far away. If I could have a Strange Flame or something, then I would improve much faster."

Gouge! Xiao Yan planned to fleece this sheep to death. Don't even mention Hun Xuzi, even if the Soul Clan's patriarch Hun Tiandi stood in front of him, he had to get some benefits today! Moreover, agreeing first wouldn't hurt at all. He didn't even know if he could reach the Ninth Grade, so why not write this legal IOU?

Hun Xuzi was also an old fox, so how could he not understand what Xiao Yan meant? He said, "There are Strange Flames in the Heaven Rank Treasure Hall."

!!!!!! Really! Xiao Yan suppressed his excitement, put on a poker face, and said calmly, "Tch, Heaven Rank. Who knows when I'll reach the Heaven Rank."

Hun Xuzi smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the entire space instantly disappeared. The next second, Xiao Yan returned to that grassy plain, ending his Soul Body state.

"This Soul Body is truly wonderful." Xiao Yan marveled inwardly. Big organizations really had many benefits, like the Heavenly Flame Training Qi Tower of Canaan Academy. The Soul Palace's Soul Path could make it easier for people to comprehend the wonders of the Soul and better improve their Soul power.

Hun Xuzi's Soul projection stood quietly to the side, and Xiao Yan understood.

To lure the fish, one must at least put out bait.

With a loud bang, a three-legged Pill Furnace appeared before Xiao Yan. The best bait was naturally Alchemist talent!

Xiao Yan took out several medicinal herbs and a Second Order Magic Core from his Storage Ring. This time, Xiao Yan was going to refine a Third Grade Pill!
