"Hey, Hun Huzi, you hear me? you give me some extra points if I refine some pills?"

  Xiao Yan uood the game well by now. No matter what, his goal now was to squeeze every st adva of the Hall of Souls. Ohis opportunity was gohere might not be another one.

  This might be his only ce to gain soul points through the challeest. He suspected that if he left now, future challenges wouldn't be the same.

  Si was Hun Huzi who sent him to the Hall of Souls with the Soul and in the first pce, it only made seo expee bes iurn, right?

  [Jie Jie Jie]

  When Xiao Yan heard that strange ugh ing from the Soul and, he knew for sure it was the old thing from the Hall of Souls making an appearance. Such a strange habit didn't seem ong the young ones…

  "You old fellow haven't been watg 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 dires: [You used the Soul and I gave you to challehe 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 spped him to death, there was nothing he could do but die in vain.

  Having lived in this world for sixteen years, he uood all too well that it was a world where the strong were revered and the weak had no say.

  The spa front of him rippled with a buzzing sound, and Hun Huzi's soul proje gradually appeared.

  Xiao Yan uatingly took out the Soul and 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 cim a reward?"

  "Jie Jie, what I actually said was that if you didn't die, then I would sider taking you as a disciple," Hun Huzi broke Xiao Yan's lie in oence. Although he was old, he was far from senile and remembered his own words well.

  Xiao Yan shook his head and deed, "I've heard of your Hall of Souls' deeds. I'd rather not bee your disciple. The alchemy teiques I have are suffit. My joining the Hall of Souls was not for the purpose of learning alchemy from you."

  Hun Huzi burst into ughter as if he had heard the fu 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?"

  A 9th-tier medial pill was already the pinnacle of alchemy in the Dou Qi ti. It was divided into three types: Treasure Pill, Mysterious Pill, and Golden Pill.

  Not to mention the highest-grade Golden Pill, even a Mysterious Pill had not been seen in the Dou Qi ti for a long time.

  Hun Huzi's ability to refine a 9th-tier Mysterious Pill was not a lie; he indeed possessed that capability.

  Xiao Yan absentmindedly fiddled with his ear, clearly ued in Hun Huzi's grand cims. Whether it was an 8th-tier, 9th-tier, or even Di Tier pill, such tiers were far beyond his current scope.

  His mind right now was solely focused on cultivating soul teiques and colleg Heavenly Fmes to evolve his Fme Mantra and enhance his strength. He couldn't afford to himself with much else, even if he wao.

  "All right, even though I've taught myself alchemy, I uand the importance of the master-disciple retionship among alchemists. It's not possible to just casually take on a disciple, especially not for a high-tier alchemist like you. I really 't afford to accept," Xiao Yan refused directly. The notion of an alchemist of Hun Huzi's caliber suddenly wanting to take him on as a disciple was something he couldn't believe even in a million years.

  Do you think I, Xiao Yan, with my 800 yers of skepticism, would believe that?

  A fsh of surprise passed through Hun Huzi's aged eyes. He hadn't expected such a shrewd response from a sixteen-year-old youth. If it were any other alchemist who was offered an apprenticeship by a high-tier alchemist, they would likely be fighting tooth and nail to be accepted.

  Moreover, his iion to take Xiao Yan as his disciple indeed had a purpose. The Hun eeded to refine aremely special medial pill. Even though his own alchemy skills were unmatched in the Dou Qi ti, and even with the assistance of the Nihility Dev Fme, which was ranked sed in the Heavenly Fme Ranking, he was still not fident in his ability to successfully refi.

  Therefore, he needed a 9th-tier Mysterious Pill Alchemist to colborate with him to possibly succeed in the refi.

  Xiao Yan's alchemy talent was indeed high, which was why he had set his sights on him.

  Hun Huzi gave a sinister smile and said, "Kid, your mi isn't bad, so let me get straight to the point. I need an alchemist capable of refining a 9th-tier Mysterious Pill to colborate with me to refine a special medial pill. There are no more than five alchemists in the Dou Qi ti who refine a 9th-tier Mysterious Pill, but none of them work with me."

  Xiao Yan looked puzzled as he asked, "You mean you wao colborate with you in alchemy once I'm capable of refining a 9th-tier Mysterious Pill?"

  Seeing Hun Huzi nod, Xiao Yan thought the old man before him had gone mad.

  Iire Dou Qi ti, so few alchemists were capable of refining a 9th-tier Mysterious Pill that they could be ted on one hand. And here he was, only sixteen years old, not even having goo the Alchemist Guild to certify his alchemist tier, yet this old man was so sure that he, Xiao Yan, could reach such a level?

  But one couldn't really bme Hun Huzi for this. Although the desdants of the Hun aturally possessed strong Spiritual Strength, their talent in alchemy was abysmally poor. Moreover, there was a ck of alchemy heritage within the . Hun Huzi himself had to go out and learn from others i.

  Furthermore, for certain reasons, the Hun had to hunt for soul bodies everywhere, and the soul bodies of alchemists were sidered the best. This led to a blood feud with the alchemist anization of the Dou Qi ti, the Pill Tower, making them the target of universal nation.

  There was simply no way to find ah-tier Mysterious Pill Alchemist.

  Xiao Yan's eyes gleamed with ing as he hatched a pn. He said with a smile, "Fair enough. But reag the 9th-tier alchemist level with my current cultivation is really a long shot. If I had a Heavenly Fme or something like that, my improvement would be much faster."

  Fleebsp;He was determio fleece as much as he could! It didn't matter if it was Hun Huzi or even the head of the Hun standing before him at this moment; he had to secure some bes today!

  Morereeing upfront was a no-lose situation. Whether he could actually bee a 9th-tier alchemist was uain, so why not write this perfectly legal bnk check if it cost nothing?

  Being an old fox himself, Hun Huzi could easily deduce the otation behind Xiao Yan's words and said, "The Heavenly Fme is avaible iian Css Treasure Hall."

  !!! They really had it!

  Xiao Yan mao trol his excitement, maintaining a poker face as he calmly said, "Tch, Tian Css. Who knows when I'll reach the Tian Css rating."

  Hun Huzi, with a slight smile, made a graure, causing the entire space to vanish in an instant. The sed, Xiao Yan found himself ba the grassnd pin, no longer in his soul body state.

  'This soul body state is truly marvelous,' Xiao Yan marveled inwardly. Large anizatioainly had their advantages, much like the Bzing Sky Qi Refining Tower of Jia Nan Academy. The Soul Path of the Hall of Souls made it easier to better prehend the mysteries of the soul and increase one's Spiritual Strength.

  Hun Huzi's soul proje stood quietly to the side, and Xiao Yan quickly uood the situation.

  One must first y out the bait to lure the fish to the hook.

  With a loud thud, a three-legged medial 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 ste ring. This time, he inteo refine a 3rd-tier medial pill.
