Soul Fusion Pill

Xiao Yan frowned as he looked at the items on the table. His soul force swept over the broken black jade slip, and to his surprise, he couldn't see what was inside.

"Could this be a tool for storing soul information? But why can't even my soul force penetrate it?"

With Xiao Yan's current soul force, ordinary soul jade slips would be easily penetrated, allowing him to directly see what was inside.

The jade slips Xiao Yan gave to Qing Lin and his two brothers for help were of this type.

Generally, these soul jade slips, besides being used to send soul signals, can also store cultivation methods, Dou Techniques, and other soul information for preservation.

Ordinary cultivation methods and Dou Techniques require time to learn and understand, but soul jade slips directly transmit information into the soul through soul force, like an enlightenment, allowing the learner to skip the steps of digestion and understanding.

Therefore, these soul jade slips are extremely precious.

"Sir, what do you need?" Noticing Xiao Yan had been standing in front of the stone stall for a long time, the stall owner asked curiously.

Interrupted from his thoughts, Xiao Yan glanced at the man in front of him, smiled, picked up the black jade slip, and said, "Boss, how much for this jade slip?"

The jade slip wasn't smooth to the touch, but rather covered in tiny particles, suggesting the material wasn't very good. Moreover, there were faint cracks on the jade slip, and the gaps were filled with sand.

Xiao Yan knew with a touch that it must have been dug out from some ruins or from the ground.

The man immediately perked up; Xiao Yan was the first person to ask about the price all morning.

"This... I want a Third Grade Pill for my research and study of alchemy. My talent for alchemy isn't good; after cultivating for so many years, I'm still stuck at the level of an Alchemist apprentice." The man smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and took out three pills from his Storage Ring, saying, "Here are three types of pills, all healing types: a First Grade Blood Coagulation Powder, a Second Grade Body Recovery Pill, and a Third Grade Small Blood Return Pill. That should be enough for your research and study, right?"

Seeing Xiao Yan being so generous, the stall owner quickly stood up, took out three wooden boxes, carefully placed the pills inside, and looked at Xiao Yan in surprise, "Y-you are a Tier 3 Alchemist?!"

Xiao Yan didn't say much. Now that the transaction was complete, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

As he walked, Xiao Yan pondered the jade slip in his hand, thinking, "No wonder so many Alchemists here haven't discovered this soul jade slip. Using soul force to sense it would only make them think it's ordinary black jade."

Ordinary soul tools will have feedback when probed with soul force, but this black jade in his hand was like an ordinary jade pendant, without any feedback at all.

"What was that feeling just now? Why is it gone now?"

Grasping the jade pendant tightly, the strange pulsation he felt when he entered the Alchemist Guild was gone.

Xiao Yan could feel a slight warmth coming from inside the jade pendant, but other than that, there were no other discoveries.

Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry. He put the black jade slip in his pocket; this was something he needed to study slowly back home.

He strolled slowly through the stall area, curiously examining the many rare medicinal herbs and other items that even he had never seen before. He had come here to find treasures and to learn about the rules of the Alchemist Convention.

"Alchemists are indeed arrogant." Along the way, most of the stall owners were indifferent, and some would only state the price when asked, acting as if they didn't care whether you bought it or not.

Here, items weren't purchased with gold coins; most goods could only be traded for pills or Pill Recipes.

Xiao Yan saw a special Peach Blossom Flame seed, similar to the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's Purple Flame, both being types of beast flames. It was eventually exchanged for a Fourth Grade Pill Formula by a cold and beautiful young woman.

Xiao Yan shook his head, not finding any other good items. Although there were many precious medicinal herbs here, none were what Xiao Yan wanted.

"It's a pity there are no Strange Flames for sale." Xiao Yan was really daydreaming, thinking he could find a Strange Flame here.

After wandering around, Xiao Yan went to the guild's reception desk and asked in a low voice, "Hello, I need a detailed handbook of the Alchemist Convention's rules."

The pretty receptionist glanced at Xiao Yan's chest and, seeing that he wasn't wearing an Alchemist Badge, immediately put on an impatient face and said, "The Alchemist Convention is only for official Alchemists; apprentices can't participate."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "I am an Alchemist."

"Then take out your Alchemist Badge." The receptionist rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan. Which Alchemist didn't treat their Badge as a symbol of status, wishing they could wear it even while bathing?

Xiao Yan crossed his arms and said unhappily, "Not all Alchemists take their Badge level seriously. Is this okay?"

Xiao Yan extended a finger, and with a whoosh, a wisp of Black Flame appeared on his fingertip.

Seeing the condensed solid flame, the receptionist's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "Solid flame! Could you be a Fourth Grade Alchemist!"

Hearing the receptionist's exclamation, some Alchemists walking around also looked over curiously.

"A Fourth Grade Alchemist! Where?"

"You're saying this seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid is a Fourth Grade Alchemist? You're kidding me."

"If you're going to lie, at least make it believable. Even if he started practicing alchemy from the womb, he couldn't possibly be Fourth Grade."

Xiao Yan shrugged, not offering much explanation, and smiled, "Can I have the handbook now?"

A strange glint flashed in the maid's beautiful eyes. Regardless of whether Xiao Yan was a Fourth Grade Alchemist or not, the fact that he could summon real fire meant his level was definitely not low.

Xiao Yan took the handbook and noticed an address written on it, along with a red lipstick mark. He glanced at the shy woman in front of him and shook his head with a wry smile.

Black Flame swept over, instantly erasing the traces before he dared to leave the Alchemist Guild.

If this were to reach Xun Er's ears through Ling Lao, it would be a different story altogether.

As Xiao Yan walked back to Nalan Mansion, he read the rules in the handbook. The rules of the Alchemist Convention were simple: alchemists under the age of thirty could participate. The first round was a preliminary selection, followed by a second round of elimination, and the third round would determine the champion.

The champion of the Alchemist Convention, in addition to becoming an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, would also receive a Sixth Grade Pill Formula—the Soul Fusion Pill.

"Soul Fusion Pill, it can be used to fuse the soul with the body, allowing the power of the soul to recover quickly, and it can also repair past injuries to the soul? Not bad, a pill formula that can restore soul power and repair soul damage."

Just as Xiao Yan was considering whether to participate in the competition to obtain this pill formula, a cold voice rang out.

"Boy, get me the pill recipe for this Soul Fusion Pill, and I won't kill you in the future!"
