Chapter 113: Information about the Soul Palace.
"The Soul Palace is an organization whose business is to collect souls and control the undead. They capture souls through special means, imprison and enslave these innocent souls for their practice or as a source of strength." Xiao Chong's tone was heavy, every time Every word hits Zi Yan's heart like a hammer,
"The old man's mention of 'not wanting to be a slave of the Soul Palace' means that his soul has been captured by the Soul Palace, but he awakened to resist at the last moment. Unfortunately, it was too late."
Speaking of this, Xiao Chong's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible compassion, which was sympathy for those innocent souls and indignation at the injustice of the world.
"Our mission is not only to eliminate the enemy in front of us, but more importantly, to expose and destroy the source of countless tragedies - the Soul Palace."
Zi Yan clenched her fists, and the flames in her eyes seemed to be even more intense: "Then what should we do? Are we just going to wait for the next confrontation with the Soul Palace?"
Xiao Chong nodded, thoughtfully.
"We will meet again one day!"
Canaan College has towering ancient trees and abundant spiritual energy. Every brick and tile is filled with the fragrance of time and the solemnity of academics.
Xiao Chong and Zi Yan walked along the bluestone path, lined with whispering green bamboos. Occasionally, a few birdsong penetrated the silence, adding a bit of vitality to the tranquility.
After passing through a quiet bamboo forest, they came to a secluded place in the mountains behind the college.
The place is shrouded in clouds and mist, with occasional spiritual beasts humming, making it feel like a paradise.
Xiao Chong chose a small open space next to a huge rock. This was an ideal place for refining medicinal pills, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, without losing the natural atmosphere.
"This is it." Xiao Chong looked around and nodded with satisfaction. He took out several jade slips engraved with complex runes from his arms, and threw them gently. The jade slips rotated and turned into circles of light curtains, slowly sinking, and finally formed a translucent barrier, covering this area. The area is wrapped in it.
Within the barrier, all interference from the outside world seemed to be cut off, with only the pure aura of heaven and earth intertwined with the aroma of medicinal herbs.
Zi Yan looked at all this curiously. Although she was a warrior, she knew nothing about alchemy. She couldn't help but ask: "Is this 'Rejuvenation Pill' really that magical?"
Xiao Chong smiled slightly, with firmness and confidence hidden in that smile: "This elixir is an eighth-grade elixir. It can not only strengthen the body, but also repair the damaged soul to a certain extent. As long as it is timely, even a dying person can , also has the effect of bringing the dead back to life.”
After that, he took out the carefully selected high-quality herbs one by one from his sleeves. Each herb exuded a refreshing aroma, and together they formed a powerful spiritual wave. Xiao Chong sat cross-legged, formed a seal with his hands, closed his eyes and concentrated, immersed in the mystery of alchemy.
"Alchemy is not only the understanding of herbs, but also the grasp of the laws of heaven and earth." Xiao Chong's tone was calm, and every word seemed to be telling an ancient story. "The heat, the materials, and the mind are all missing." Not even one."
Following his guidance, a warm fire gradually gathered in the surrounding air. It was the soul fire unique to the alchemist, pure and blazing.
The flames licked the medicine pot, and the herbs slowly melted, releasing their unique spiritual power, blending with each other, and gradually forming a pill shape.
Xiao Chong was immersed in refining medicine and was completely unaware of the passing of time in the outside world. He knew very well that the rejuvenation and life-sustaining elixir was no trivial matter. If it were slightly wrong, not only would the medicinal materials be wasted, but it would also cause the elixir to explode, with disastrous consequences. Therefore, every step must be done with extreme caution and no carelessness is allowed.
"Zi Yan, please help me guard this place. Don't let people or animals get close." Xiao Chong ordered Zi Yan beside him before entering the cultivation state.
Zi Yan nodded slightly, looking both lazy and alert. She understood the weight of Xiao Chong's words and stood guard silently. Her sharp eyes stared at the movements around her, preventing any threats from approaching.
Time flies by like a flash, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zi Yan seemed a little anxious in the natural barrier arranged on the periphery. After all, waiting was tantamount to torture for a lively person like her.
She paced around, trying to find something to do for herself and to ward off the curious little beasts that wanted to get closer.
"Hmph, this alchemy is too time-consuming and boring." Zi Yan complained, her green eyes suddenly tightened, and there was a rustling sound in the grass in the distance, which aroused her alertness.
"Looks like we're having some fun." Zi Yan sneered at the corner of her mouth and quietly approached the grass.
As expected, a group of third-level monsters—the rampaging thunder wolves—are being attracted by the rich aroma of the medicine. Their eyes are full of greed, and they are obviously tempted by this rare delicacy.
The thunder wolf is very fast and contains the power of thunder and lightning in its hair. Ordinary alchemists would avoid it if they encounter it.
However, for Zi Yan, this is just a small entertainment. She flashed like a flash of orchid lightning and rushed directly into the pack of thunder wolves. Before the Thunderwolves could react, she had already dealt with them one by one. Her movements were clean and neat, without any redundancy.
After dealing with the Thunder Wolf, Zi Yan paced back and forth leisurely, as if the battle just now was just a small game.
"Well, this relieves the boredom a little bit." She said to herself, but her eyes turned to the direction of refining the medicine again, and a trace of warmth rose in her heart, which was a promise of deep trust and companionship for Xiao Chong.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the medicine furnace suddenly changed, and a majestic power of life surged out, and the rejuvenation and life-sustaining pill was about to take shape.
"Is it done? I'm really looking forward to it." Zi Yan jumped back to the edge of the barrier, her eyes flashing with excitement, as if she could foresee the glory of the moment of success.
The Black Corner Territory is a place infiltrated by evil and opportunity at the same time. Every inch of land contains unknowns and dangers.
On the edge of this chaotic land, there is a hut surrounded by green bamboo forests. It seems particularly peaceful and incompatible with the killings and disputes in the outside world.
Han Feng stood in front of the hut, his purple robe swaying gently in the breeze. His face was handsome and his eyes were deep, revealing a calmness that should not be underestimated.
He had just finished a confrontation with a powerful enemy. Although his aura was slightly disordered, his eyes were burning with curiosity about the unknown.
"Canaan College, the back mountain...the fluctuation of life breath?" Han Feng murmured to himself, frowning slightly. He could feel the abnormal energy fluctuation coming from that distant direction. It was not just an ordinary refining of medicinal materials. , the life force contained in it can be clearly perceived by him even though he is thousands of miles away. This kind of movement is a signal that cannot be ignored by any strong man in the Black Corner Domain.
"There must be something fishy about this matter. Canaan College has always kept a low profile. There must be something behind such a big move today."
Han Feng thought for a moment and decided to investigate it himself. He turned around and walked into the hut, briefly packed up a few belongings, and slung a long sword inlaid with dark gems behind his back. Then he flashed and turned into a stream of purple light, speeding away in the direction of Canaan College. .
