Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Fleecing the Hall of Souls
"Hey, Hun Huzi, can you hear me? Can you give me some extra points if I refine some pills?"
Xiao Yan understood the game well by now. No matter what, his goal now was to squeeze every last advantage out of the Hall of Souls. Once this opportunity was gone, there might not be another one.
This might be his only chance to gain soul points through the challenge test. He suspected that if he left now, future challenges wouldn't be the same.
Since it was Hun Huzi who sent him to the Hall of Souls with the Soul Command in the first place, it only made sense to expect some benefits in return, right?
[Jie Jie Jie]
When Xiao Yan heard that strange laugh coming from the Soul Command, he knew for sure it was the old thing from the Hall of Souls making an appearance. Such a strange habit didn't seem common among the young ones...
"You old fellow haven't been watching me this whole time, have you?" Xiao Yan, in his soul form, slowly sat up and said.
Hun Huzi's spiritual voice came from all directions: [You used the Soul Command I gave you to challenge the Soul Path, so naturally, I have. ]
Xiao Yan merely shrugged his shoulders in an indifferent manner. What could he, a mere Dou Practitioner, say? Even if Hun Huzi suddenly slapped him to death, there was nothing he could do but die in vain.
Having lived in this world for sixteen years, he understood all too well that it was a world where the strong were revered and the weak had no say.
The space in front of him rippled with a buzzing sound, and Hun Huzi's soul projection gradually appeared.
Xiao Yan unhesitatingly took out the Soul Command and waved it a few times as he said, "Didn't you say before that as long as I could solve the poison, I could take this token to the Hall of Souls to claim a reward?"
"Jie Jie, what I actually said was that if you didn't die, then I would consider taking you as a disciple," Hun Huzi broke Xiao Yan's lie in one sentence. Although he was old, he was far from senile and remembered his own words well.
Xiao Yan shook his head and declined, "I've heard of your Hall of Souls' deeds. I'd rather not become your disciple. The alchemy techniques I have are sufficient. My joining the Hall of Souls was not for the purpose of learning alchemy from you."Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
Hun Huzi burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke, "Hahaha, to think someone would actually refuse to be taught alchemy by me, Hun Huzi."
"Do you realize that I am an alchemist capable of refining a 9th-tier Mysterious Pill?"
benefits today!
Moreover, agreeing upfront was a no-lose situation. Whether he could actually become a 9th-tier alchemist was uncertain, so why not write this perfectly legal blank check if it cost
nothing?
Being an old fox himself, Hun Huzi could easily deduce the connotation behind Xiao Yan's words and said, "The Heavenly Flame is available in the Tian Class Treasure Hall."
!!! They really had it!
Xiao Yan managed to control his excitement, maintaining a poker face as he calmly said, "Tch, Tian Class. Who knows when I'll reach the Tian Class rating."
Hun Huzi, with a slight smile, made a grand gesture, causing the entire space to vanish in an instant. The next second, Xiao Yan found himself back on the grassland plain, no longer in his
soul body state.
'This soul body state is truly marvelous,' Xiao Yan marveled inwardly. Large organizations
certainly had their advantages, much like the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower of Jia Nan
Academy. The Soul Path of the Hall of Souls made it easier to better comprehend the mysteries of the soul and increase one's Spiritual Strength.
Hun Huzi's soul projection stood quietly to the side, and Xiao Yan quickly understood the
situation.
One must first lay out the bait to lure the fish to the hook.
With a loud thud, a three-legged medicinal cauldron appeared in front of him. The best bait,
of course, was his alchemy talent!
Xiao Yan took out several herbs and a Rank 2 Monster Core from his storage ring. This time, he intended to refine a 3rd-tier medicinal pill.
