Tier 6 Soul Strength!
*Chapter 144: Tier 6 Soul Strength!*
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xiao Yan licked his lips. This item was indeed very useful to him.
"Haha, Nephew Xiao Yan, since you have cured Old Master's Branding Poison, then this item belongs to you." Nalan Su naturally saw the look in Xiao Yan's eyes and said with a smile.
"Then thank you. I do need the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva to enhance my Soul," Xiao Yan said without being pretentious. Although he hadn't initially intended to receive a reward, he would certainly accept it if offered.
Cupping his hands towards Nalan Su, Xiao Yan didn't say much more. He stepped forward, placing the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva into his Storage Ring.
"Although this Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva can be stored in a Storage Ring, you must expose it to the sun for an hour each day, or it will automatically wither. You must remember this," Nalan Su reminded him.
"Yes, I understand," Xiao Yan nodded.
Nalan Yanran watched Xiao Yan take the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva, feeling extremely puzzled. Soul Strength played a significant role in battles, and this reduced her chances of winning.
How annoying! Xiao Yan walked around the pharmacy, taking some medicinal herbs for Nalan Jie to refine pills. Then, without further ado, he left the pharmacy, found a Courtyard, and took out his Pill Furnace to start refining pills.
"You're refining pills here?!" Nalan Yanran asked in surprise. Alchemists always sought a quiet place to refine pills, afraid of being disturbed. Yet, he was refining pills in this busy Courtyard?!
Wasn't he afraid of others spying on his techniques!
With a poof, Xiao Yan threw a wisp of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame into the Pill Furnace, saying as he tossed in the medicinal herbs, "It's not some high-level pill, just a Tier 2 Water Replenishing Pill and a Tier 3 Blood Replenishing Pill."
!!?
"Tier... Tier 3?! Isn't that high enough?" Nalan Yanran was utterly astonished. She knew two Tier 3 Alchemists.
One was Yue Er, the little princess of the royal family, the Alchemist Guild's vice president's disciple, who possessed extremely high talent and had been exposed to alchemy from a young age, but was only at Tier 3 now.
The other was Liu Ling, Gu He's personal disciple, who had followed Gu He to cultivate alchemy since childhood and was also a Tier 3 Alchemist.
These two were both top contenders for winning the Alchemist Convention! However, both of them needed to take Tier 3 pills seriously, and their success rate wasn't 100%.
As Xiao Yan began refining pills, many of the Nalan Family's servants curiously gathered to watch.
"Oh? The Old Master and Miss are both here?"
"Wow, who is this handsome guy? He's actually refining pills in the Courtyard?"
"Why does this young man look so familiar?"
"Those who have worked in the Mansion for ten years should know, right? Isn't that the young master-in-law, Miss Nalan's fiancé, Xiao Clan's Young Master Xiao Yan."
Some long-time employees recognized Xiao Yan's appearance and began gossiping.
Hearing some servants call Xiao Yan the young master-in-law, Nalan Yanran immediately felt strange and uncomfortable.
"What? There's still time to regret it," Nalan Su said teasingly, glancing at his daughter's expression.
"I will not accept the engagement, and I will not lose to him either." Nalan Yanran rolled her eyes at Nalan Su, looking seriously at Xiao Yan's back as he refined pills.
"Sigh, you, sigh." Nalan Su had nothing else to say but sigh. He had been trying to persuade her for three years, saying everything he could, but it was useless.
Soon, under the astonished gazes of Nalan Yanran and Nalan Su, Xiao Yan smoothly refined the two pills, placed them in a brocade box, and handed them to Nalan Su.
Looking at the two pills in the brocade box, Nalan Su looked at Xiao Yan seriously and asked, "Are you really not participating in the Alchemist Convention? With your alchemy skills, Nephew, your chances of winning aren't small, right?"
Shrugging, Xiao Yan said noncommittally, "I've always been cultivating alchemy outside, and I haven't even been tested at the Alchemist Guild yet. I'm too lazy to bother."
"If you want to participate, Nephew, our Nalan Family can vouch for you and let you skip the preliminaries," Nalan Su said with a wave of his hand, agreeing directly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Nalan. I'll consider it. This convention doesn't attract me much. I still prefer to cultivate alone." Xiao Yan cupped his hands and smiled, "I'll go back to my room to cultivate first, lest my cultivation falls behind and I get surpassed."
Xiao Yan waved his hand and walked directly towards the guest room, leaving behind a dashing figure.
Nalan Su looked at Nalan Yanran, who was gnashing her teeth and clenching her fists, and said, "Daughter, if you lose, will you really become a servant? I don't think you have much chance of winning."
Although Nalan Su hadn't seen Xiao Yan's true strength, being able to easily kill Mo Cheng proved that Xiao Yan's strength was definitely greater than his cultivation suggested.
"Although I, Nalan Yanran, am a woman, I keep my word. And I will not admit defeat!"
Xiao Yan naturally didn't know what Nalan Yanran was thinking. He only regarded the matter of becoming a servant as a joke. Right now, he only had the words Soul Palace in his mind.
"I'm really fed up with that old guy Hun Xuzi. Gama Holy City is so big, who knows where the Soul Palace is!" Xiao Yan looked at the Soul Token on the table, which showed no reaction at all. He was exhausted.
He had originally thought that after arriving in Gama Holy City, the Soul Token would react and guide him to the Soul Palace, just like it had in Peace Town.
But nothing happened at all!
The Soul Palace hadn't even shown a shadow yet.
"Forget it, there's still time anyway. I should be able to find it even if I search the entire Gama Empire."
Xiao Yan didn't care so much. Now that he was in Gama Holy City, it wasn't like the Soul Palace could grow legs and run away.
Slowly closing his eyes and circulating the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art, Xiao Yan didn't immediately use the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva. He needed to cultivate the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art to a bottleneck before using the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva to break through in one go!
These past few days had been rare moments of leisure for Xiao Yan. Aside from Ya Fei bringing him a batch of precious medicinal herbs to practice with once, he spent every day cultivating.
The power of an Earth Rank Cultivation Method allowed Xiao Yan to cultivate Dou Qi very quickly. Not long ago, he had broken through to become a Four-Star Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master). Xiao Yan estimated that he would be able to advance another star in a month or two.
In a year, he might even reach Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit)! A nineteen-year-old Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit) had never appeared in the entire history of the Gama Empire.
Moreover, this was without pills, without any opportunities, simply cultivating at home. If he added the assistance of pills, Xiao Yan estimated that he could reach Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit) in half a year! However, compared to the Dou Qi cultivation of the Earth Rank Cultivation Method, Xiao Yan's Soul Incantation cultivation was not slow at all.
"It's time."
Xiao Yan composed himself, took out Black Demon and the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva, and without hesitation, threw the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva into Black Demon. The fused Strange Flame of three Strange Flames was thrown into Black Demon, and the terrifying temperature of the fused Strange Flame quickly melted the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva.
The reason why the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva was a natural treasure rather than a medicinal herb was because its medicinal effect was comparable to that of a pill!
Originally, pills were made by catalyzing, fusing, and refining some low-level medicinal herbs to give the pills the effects of natural treasures.
The Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva was itself a natural treasure.
Even rare natural treasures could hardly withstand the burning of the fused Strange Flame. Soon, a ball of azure spiritual liquid was extracted.
Slightly opening his mouth, the azure spiritual liquid, enveloped by the fused Strange Flame, was sucked into his mouth.
An extreme sensation rushed straight into the depths of his mind. Xiao Yan quickly circulated the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art. Under the perception of his Soul Strength, a large mass of azure Soul light condensed in Xiao Yan's Dantian.
As the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art circulated, the large mass of azure Soul light followed the circulation of the Soul Incantation and merged into the Soul.
After Xiao Yan circulated the Soul Incantation nine times, the azure Soul light was finally completely absorbed. Xiao Yan's Soul Strength had unknowingly been elevated to the level of a Tier 6 Alchemist.
Slowly opening his eyes, the terrifying Soul Strength perception spread to its limit. After being elevated by one level, Xiao Yan's Soul Strength perception had actually expanded tenfold! The entire Nalan Mansion was within his sight, and even the streets could be 'seen' clearly.
"Hmm? Ling Lao, didn't he go back?"
