Chapter 36: 100 year Soul Refining Flower

Chapter 36: 100 year Soul Refining Flower

"Why aren't you speaking?Feeling guilty?" Xu Yao smiled.

"Impossible."I shook my head and spoke confidently. "Xu Yao, when Destiny Corporation developed Illusionary Moon, all the settings were run through me. I followed your rules to play the game and didn't break any. You have no reasonto deal with me, and don't forget that I own a Glory Helmet, too. Plus, in the future, I might become listed as one of the strongest and enter the legendary Hall of Order. Aren't you afraid of me complaining, too?"

"Hahaha~"

Xu Yao was probably laughing out loud on the other side. "Why are you still so shameless?In any case, I heard that someone high up in the company gave you that Glory Helmet. Forget it.You are considered a respected user;plus, I called you not because I was planning to deal with you."

"Why, then?" I asked.

She was helpless. "What else? I already suppressed the complaint and just wanted to tell you not to make it too obvious. If that person continues to complain and even exposes this matter on social media, I won't be able to protect you!"

"I know. I'll keep a low profile."

"Okay, I've helped you this much. Aren't you gonna give me anything?"

"Once I'm free, I'll treat you to fried fish!"

"Okay.Although it doesn't sound sincere, it's still a promise. I shall wait for you to treat me, then."

"En, I need to level up.Bye, Xu Yao!"

"..."

Once I hung up, I saw that Ah Fei's eyes went round. Having heard most of the conversation, he asked, "Someone reported us right?"

"Right.If it is who I think it is, it should be Lin Xi."

"D*mn!"

He slapped his legs and said, "Morally, she could kill me for the items, but she didn't. In terms of rules, she didn't need to give me face and she directly reported us. Such an impartial woman, as expected from the only one I love!"

My mouth went agape as I looked at him. I kept silent for a long while.

"What are you looking at?"

"Are you so shameless?"

"Hahahah!What do I need a face for? Love is something someone like you won't understand, Hahahah~"

"Scram! Time to go online!"

"En!"

A white light flashed and my data was extracted. I appeared on Wind Cloud Platform, and exactly like what I was during the trial. Lightning buzzed around me, and in the blink of an eye, I returned to normal. A body of leather armor, Snakebone Blade and Water Pattern Dagger, I seemed quite ordinary.

Weng~

The fog rumbled with celestial-like feeling and formed into my Master Ding Heng, who just looked at me mercifully. "Little fellow, you've made a mess in Linchen County. You also didn't embarrass me in the Wind Cloud Platform's trial this time.Now, you should continue cultivating well!"

"Senior Uncle Lin!"

I walked up and bowed, saying respectfully, "Master told me to understand more about the soul from you."

"Oh~"

Lin Fengnian raised his head and looked up at me. His eyes were really deep and he smiled. "Speaking of which, your master hasn't drunk with me in a long time. He's most probably studying his so-called invincible battle technique.Scoff... He's lived till such an old age but still chases power. Doesn't he consider how much time he has left..."

I listened to him mumble.

"Since you are here, I'll teach you how to refine a soul."

As he said that, he pointed and a veil appeared out of nowhere; it turned into two treasures which floated in the air.

Thousand-year Soul Refining Flower (Rare ingredient)

Pure Ocean Suppressing Stone (Rare ingredient)

"This is..."

I was momentarily unable to say anything. The sight of the two dazzling treasures had shocked me.

"These are the two ingredients needed to refine a soul." Lin Fengnian looked at me. "To be a strong cultivator, you must refine a soul. Those who are strong in Black Castle have all walked this step. Some needed ingredients to help them, while some completed them by pure talent. As for you..."

He smiled. "Little fellow, allow me to be direct:You aren't talented enough; relying on your strength alone to refine a soul is impossible."

I felt a little awkward. Were all NPCs so direct, such that they could make people embarrassed?

"Senior Uncle, what should I do?"

Since I needed his help, I humbled myself.

"En."

He nodded. "Although thousand-year Soul Refining Flowers are rare, they exist. I heard that the Precious Treasure Pavilion received one a few days ago. You can find Deacon Pang Dalong; maybe he has it. Once you get it, I will tell you how to acquire the Pure Soul Suppressing Stone."

"Okay.Thank you, senior uncle!"

"Go."

I turned around and left the majestic hall. The world outside turned into a wooden hut. This was an illusionary skill. Lin Fengnian was truly skilled in many things and was really special!

A few minutes later, I reached the Precious Treasure Pavilion.

I stepped in and a female undead attendant walked up at me and smiled. "July Wildfire, what do you need?"

"I'd like to meet Senior Uncle Pang Dalong."
