Chapter 411: Worrying About Hell Coin

Yang Haoran summoned the souls of six people, not to interfere with their choices, but just to confirm their decisions. He would respect whichever choice they made.

The reason he had not been paying attention to the six souls these past few months was that he truly had no time - he had poured all his energy into refining the soul-refining cauldron and could not spare a thought for them.

At the same time, he also wanted to test the character of the six. If they became impatient with his neglect over just a few months, Yang Haoran felt they might not be suitable to keep by his side.

After the six made their choices, Yang Haoran did not say much more, and dealt with them separately according to their different decisions.

To avoid worrying the other people in the villa after he left, Yang Haoran had already informed them in advance, so he did not disturb anyone when he tore open space and headed to Ancheng.

When Yang Haoran saw Xu Meijing again, the first thing she did was to cut his hair, which surprised him.

Yang Haoran could understand Xu Meijing's actions, as he had not trimmed his hair for almost a year, and it had grown long and messy, making him look a bit timid.

After the haircut, Yang Haoran looked much more refreshed, and Xu Meijing's gaze at him held less disdain.

"It's still early, do you want to stay and play in Ancheng for a few more days before leaving?" Xu Meijing asked Yang Haoran as they walked down the bustling street.

In truth, the time was indeed still early, as Yang Haoran had not yet received the iron book order to go to the Underworld.

However, based on when he had received the iron book order the previous year, Yang Haoran estimated that he would likely receive it in the next two to three days.

Yang Haoran also wanted to spend a few more days playing in Ancheng, as he hadn't seen Xu Meijing for a year and missed her.

But he gently shook his head at Xu Meijing's suggestion.

Seeing Yang Haoran shake his head, Xu Meijing became a bit displeased.

"What, can't Ancheng accommodate you, the great deity?"

Yang Haoran gave a bitter smile and explained, "Of course not, I'd also like to play here for a few more days before setting off. But there are some matters I need to attend to, so I have to go to the Underworld earlier."

"What matters? Going to visit the Temple Master Jiang?" Xu Meijing asked.

"That's only one of the reasons. The other reason is that I want to get some hell coin before going to the Underworld," Yang Haoran explained.

"This is not the right place. Let's find another place to talk."

After giving Xu Meijing a positive response with a nod, Yang Haoran also suggested with a smile that they should change locations.

Receiving Yang Haoran's affirmative response, Xu Meijing's gaze also grew a little more heated. She responded with a hum and then led Yang Haoran away from the bustling street, finding a secluded corner where she tore open a spatial rift and returned to her residence.

In the study room, Xu Meijing set up a restriction barrier before asking Yang Haoran again, "Did it really succeed?"

Xu Meijing's voice had a hint of disbelief, but more of surprise.

Xu Meijing knew that Yang Haoran had been refining the soul-refining cauldron for the past year, as they occasionally kept in touch over the phone, and could understand each other's implied meanings. However, she didn't know whether he had succeeded or not.

Yang Haoran nodded with a smile on his face, then took out the soul-refining cauldron from his independent space and gently waved his hand, causing it to float in front of Xu Meijing.

The soul-refining cauldron was emitting a visible and dense Yin Qi, a sight that made Xu Meijing's gaze burn with excitement.

After a moment, she shifted her gaze from the cauldron and looked at Yang Haoran.

"You're really lucky. In just a year, you've managed to refine it successfully."

Xu Meijing said as she waved her hand to send the soul-refining cauldron back to Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran didn't retrieve the cauldron, but instead smiled and said to Xu Meijing, "Indeed, my luck has been quite good. I found two extreme Yin places, otherwise, a year wouldn't have been enough to refine this soul-refining cauldron successfully. Now that it's done, why don't you take it and use it first?"

"Hehe, you're really generous. This soul-refining cauldron that you've refined with so much effort, you're willing to give it to me?" Xu Meijing asked with a smile.

"There's no need to hesitate about it." Yang Haoran replied with a smile, then waved his hand again, sending the soul-refining cauldron back to Xu Meijing.

Seeing Yang Haoran's attitude, he didn't seem to be just pretending.

Xu Meijing looked at the floating soul-refining cauldron in front of her, then shifted her gaze to Yang Haoran. After a moment, she shook her head with a smile.

"I'm very happy, but I won't take this soul-refining cauldron. I've also found an extreme Yin place, and I'm confident that I'll be able to refine the soul-refining cauldron before the end of next year."
