Chapter 162 Soul Skill Acquired
"It's really the Life-devouring Pill." A strange look flashed across Yao Lao's face, "I didn't expect you to get this long-lost pill. Besides, look at you. , have its side effects been solved?"
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, "It's just a fluke!"
Hearing the conversation between Lin Yuan and Yao Lao, Xiao Yan's eyes couldn't help but surge up. A strong sense of curiosity.
There was a trace of desire in his eyes, "Teacher, Life-devouring Pill?"
Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and said lightly: "Don't think too much, it was a famous thing in the past. It makes a loud noise, but it’s a useless elixir.”
Then Yao Lao gave Xiao Yan a brief introduction to the Life-eating Pill, including its ability to directly increase the effectiveness of Dou Wang, and only three of them remained after taking it. The side effects of the years, especially its prohibitive quality and price.
After listening to Yao Lao's explanation, Xiao Yan was speechless and said: "It turns out to be a peak seventh-level elixir. Brother Lin is so lucky!"
Lin Yuan looked at it with interest. Looking at Xiao Yan, "It's just a fluke! This kind of opportunity is nothing compared to Brother Xiao's encounter with Senior Yao." As he spoke, he touched his nose and showed the same wry smile as Xiao Yan.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and scratched his head, but a trace of relief flashed deep in his eyes.
The pressure given by Lin Yuan before was too strong. Even though Xiao Yan had fighting spirit, he still felt a little weak.
Now that he knows that Lin Yuan’s great Dou Master reached the Dou King stage with the Life Devouring Pill, Xiao Yan felt somewhat relieved in his heart.
After all, meeting Yao Lao was indeed a far better opportunity than the Life-Eating Pill.
Shaking his head, Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao and asked doubtfully: "Teacher, since the Life Devouring Pill can directly break through from the Great Dou Master to the Dou King, why do you say it is useless?"
"Heh--" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and chuckled, "Because its effectiveness is not worth mentioning at all compared to its price."
"Consumption What’s the point of using resources of that level to create a fighting king with a lifespan of only three years?”
“For the sake of fighting against the enemy?” It’s enough to ask a Dou Zun to take action, and a Dou Zun-level expert can wipe out hundreds of Dou Kings. Wouldn’t it be better to just ask a Dou Zun strong person to take action?”
“For assistance? Cultivation?”
“If you are willing to spend the energy to reach the seventh level, there are many better pills to choose from in the medicine refining world.”
"For families or forces that can afford seventh-grade peak-level elixirs, it doesn't take much time for their geniuses to break through from great fighting masters to fighting kings. Rather than wasting resources at this stage, it would be better to use them in the later stages. "
"After all, the further you go, the harder it will be to practice and break through, and the more bottlenecks there will be."
When it comes to the latter part, Yao Lao's words are somewhat appreciative but also a little bit deep. Disdainful.
Although the effect of the Life-devouring Pill is miraculous, compared with the resources it consumes, it is not worth mentioning. It is really useless.
“That’s it.” After listening to Yao Lao’s explanation, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that maybe to him now, Dou Wang is a great big shot, but to Yao Lao, Dou Wang is just a snap of his fingers. Destroyable characters.
“Pa—”
A crisp sound ended Yao Lao’s round of education for Xiao Yan.
"Haha, the senior's opinion is indeed spot on." Lin Yuan on the side stroked his hands and chuckled, "But let's stop your chat here! Now that my identity is known, it's time for us to talk. It’s what Senior Yao said before.”
As he spoke, Lin Yuan looked at Yao Lao steadily and said seriously: “What can I get? What do I have to pay?”
Yao Lao looked at Lin Yuan and said in a deep voice: "I will take Xiao Yan to leave the Jia Ma Empire in the near future. Boy Lin Yuan, I need you to help protect the Xiao family for a while. With your ability, I should be able to do it to.”
"As for the reward, you can propose it yourself."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan also had a bit of expectation in his eyes. The affairs of the Soul Palace and the Xiao family were now weighing heavily on his mind. From the bottom of my heart. However, an enemy of the Soul Palace's level was completely beyond what he could handle now.
But after hearing Yao Lao's words, Lin Yuan shook his head in the expectant eyes of several people.
"Senior Yao thinks highly of me, and there is nothing I can do about this matter. The Xiao family is the target of the Soul Palace, and it seems that the priority is not low. And you and I both know how strong the Soul Palace is. If you want the current I can't cope with the Soul Palace protecting the Xiao family."
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
However, Yao Lao's face remained as usual, he nodded calmly, and continued: "Then, what if I change the conditions and do not require protection of the Xiao family, but only require the preservation of the Xiao family's personnel?"
"Oh?" Lin Yuan seemed to be a little interested, "Senior, what you mean is not to protect the 'Xiao family', but to protect the people of the Xiao family?"
"Exactly. "Yao Lao nodded and said seriously: "You don't even need to protect everyone in the Xiao family, you just need to protect some people in the Xiao family, especially..." Lin Yuan understood what he said and looked at Xiao. Yan, "Especially those Xiao family members who are closely related to Brother Xiao!"
Yao Lao had no expression on his face and nodded calmly.
When Xiao Yan heard this, his expression suddenly changed, "Teacher, Brother Lin..."
However.
"Xiao Yan, don't be naive." Yao Lao interrupted Xiao Yan's thoughts and said extremely seriously: "If you continue to break the rules, you will suffer chaos. When being targeted by the Soul Palace, no one can I can be confident and escape intact.”
“Even if you cut off your tail to survive, it is by no means an easy task.”
Looking at Yao Lao’s serious eyes, Xiao Yan felt in his heart. Struggling, a sense of helplessness came over me, and my stubborn teeth bit my lower lip unconsciously.
Seeing this, Yao Lao sighed, "Xiao Yanzi, remember this helplessness at this moment, and then try your best to become a strong person. In Dou Qi Continent, only the strong have choices. Right."
After saying that, Yao Lao looked at Lin Yuan, "How about it, can you accept this deal?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuan closed his eyes and rubbed himself slowly. His forehead fell into deep thought, and the scene suddenly became silent.
After a while, Lin Yuan opened his eyes and made a decision: "If this is the case, I can initially accept this matter."
"But", Lin Yuan spoke up Turn, "Facing the Soul Palace, I can't guarantee anything to you. I can only try my best to fulfill the agreement. Whatever effect I can achieve, it is up to fate. Can you accept this?"
Yao Lao pondered for a moment and looked at Xiao Yan, who had his head lowered. The final decision on this matter ultimately rested with Xiao Yan.
Feeling this invisible pressure, Xiao Yan pondered.
After a long time, Xiao Yan raised his head, wiped off the blood on his lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother Lin, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
Lin Yuan nodded and said seriously: "In that case, our deal has been initially concluded. Next, it depends on whether you accept the plan I just thought of and the transaction conditions I proposed."
"Tell me." Yao Lao said.
"My plan has three steps: dispersion, suspended animation and migration." As he said that, Lin Yuan looked at Ling Ying, "This plan also requires some efforts from the people behind Mr. Ling. After all, Senior Yao said However, you ladies have the energy to block the Soul Palace, don't you?"
Looking at the gazes of several people, especially Xiao Yan, Ling Ying's heart tightened and she said in a deep voice: "Little friend Lin, just tell me! "
Seeing this, Lin Yuan nodded and began to tell his plan.
His plan is divided into three steps;
The first step is for Xiao Yan to return to the Xiao family by himself, divide the Xiao family members into several groups according to their importance, and send them to the south of the Gama Empire in batches Migration;
In the second step, Lin Yuan will arrange some 'thieves' to attack the relocated Xiao family team and 'annihilate' important parts of them;
In the third step, Lin Yuan will find a way to arrange for those who have been 'annihilated' The core members of the family moved to the Black Corner Region, to places where the ancient clan's power could currently reach. As for the parts that were not 'destroyed' by the attack, they were used as bait, or abandoned.
"Brother Lin, can this method be used to deceive the people in the Soul Palace?" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan said calmly: "Who knows? But at least I gave the people who came to carry out the Xiao family's mission a reason, a reason not to care about the Xiao family's affairs. The mission of the Soul Palace They are outsourced at all levels, and the people who perform the tasks are also very careful. "
"As long as the Xiao family disappears in public and the personnel are dispersed and hidden, the Xiao family's tasks will be greatly increased and the profits will be greatly reduced. "
"When necessary, you can even release some decoy messages to let them send messages upwards. In this way, the people you want to protect the most can be safely protected. "
Listen up. Lin Yuan's words caused heavy pressure to hit Xiao Yan's heart again.
Lin Yuan’s strategy is to let himself choose who in the Xiao family can live and who may die. This feeling that the family members will bear the cost of his decision-making makes Xiao Yan feel powerless and mentally exhausted. I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
At this moment, a sentence suddenly flashed through Xiao Yan's mind.
"Yan'er, for the overall situation, for the survival of the family, and for the future of the family. Your father and I, as the heads of the Xiao family, sometimes have to make painful decisions."
Drunk Xiao Zhan said When he said these words, the helpless and painful expression made Xiao Yan know for the first time that his father still had that side.
"Huh——" Xiao Yan took a long breath and his eyes became firm, "Father, is this your responsibility as the head of the family? Then I also..."
" Brother Lin, this is a good strategy, the Xiao family can accept it, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Xiao family." Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said calmly.
"Brother Xiao, you're welcome." Lin Yuan waved his hand and smiled lightly, "It's just a transaction, there's nothing to be grateful for. After all, I should be able to get appropriate rewards for helping you handle this matter. Mutual Help, everyone gets what they need, this is the way I like to do things.”
Hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Yao Lao nodded slightly in his heart. This style is better for him now.
"Boy Lin Yuan, tell me, what do you want?" Yao Lao asked.
"I am interested in many things, but the one I am most interested in right now is undoubtedly the move that Senior Yao performed on the Bird Protector yesterday. If I guessed correctly, that move was an extremely rare orthodox soul skill. Right?”
“You have a good vision, that is indeed an orthodox soul skill.”
“Senior, that’s generous. We’ve settled.”
"I don't have the scroll of the Soul Mysterious Seal in my hand, so I'll pass it on to you directly by means of a soul message. Mr. Lin, prepare to receive it," Yao Lao said decisively.
After that, Lin Yuan and Yao Lao started the soul communication.
Half an hour later, when Lin Yuan finished digesting the majestic information in his mind, he finally obtained the first orthodox soul skill.
Earth-level low-level soul skill, Soul Mysterious Seal.
Soul skills, combat techniques pioneered by ancient alchemists, allow practitioners to maximize the power of their souls, and are even comparable to the fighting skills of some strong men.
Unfortunately, most of the soul skills have been lost now, and the ones that still exist are mainly in the hands of the major forces in Dou Qi Continent.
Similar to fighting skills, soul skills are also divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow.
In the original trajectory, the soul handprint given by Xuan Kongzi when he first met Xiao Yan was a high-level Xuan-level soul skill, which was much worse than the soul handprint that Lin Yuan traded from Yao Lao.
Lin Yuan was in a good mood after getting the soul skill, and said with a smile: "Senior, just hand the thing over to me now, aren't you worried that I won't do anything after I get it?"
"Haha. "When Yao Lao heard this, he smiled confidently, "Boy Lin, we have cooperated a lot, and I recognize your credibility. Moreover, the cooperative relationship you have established with me is not comparable to that of just one earth-level soul skill. , isn’t it?”
"Haha, it's true. Don't worry, I will try my best to deal with the Xiao family's affairs."
Then, based on the strategy proposed by Lin Yuan, several people began to discuss the details of the plan and work out a plan that could Execution plan.
Two hours later, everyone finally completed the detailed plan.
Xiao Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and felt much more settled.
Although the crisis of the Xiao family has not yet been resolved, he at least knows what he should do next and will not be in a hurry.
Yao Lao took out a list from Najie and handed it to Lin Yuan, "Boy Lin, look at it, do you have any of the medicinal materials on this list?"
Lin Yuan took a look at the list and immediately understood that there were many medicinal materials on it, but they were mainly medicinal materials for nourishing the soul.
Soul-nourishing saliva, a fifth-grade elixir, has the effect of nourishing excessively consumed soul power. This elixir is not of a high grade, and its refining is not cumbersome but very time-consuming. Another troublesome thing is that the medicinal materials required are relatively unorthodox.
However, this is not a problem for Lin Yuan, who has plundered many powerful medicinal materials from his body. He has many such medicinal materials.
After reading the list, Lin Yuan turned his attention back to Yao Lao.
At this time, Yao Lao had a serious sense of illusion in his soul due to the consumption of the previous battle. It's no wonder that using the Soul-Shengming Pill to support the soul body to participate in the war is really a huge loss of soul.
"Senior Yao is lucky, I have all the medicinal materials on this list!"
Speaking, Lin Yuan took out the medicinal materials on the list from Najie and gave them directly to Yao Lao , "I'll just give you two pairs, I think they should be enough."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Yao Lao said.
"Senior, you are very polite. I am very happy to cooperate with you and hope to continue to do so. Please help me pay more attention to the Bodhi body saliva. The more of it, the better. I will buy it at a premium."
For Lin Yuan, no amount of Bodhi's incarnation is too much.
The world doesn't know it yet, but one thing Lin Yuan knows is that some of the things deposited in the saliva of Bodhi's incarnation can form Bodhi seeds that can sense Bodhicitta under the burning of strange fire.
"Mr. Ling, if you have any trading needs, you can come to me. Po Zong Dan is no big deal."
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, Ling Ying really thought he would help collect it. As a condition for Bodhi's incarnation, he borrowed two Fengxing Pills and a Yuan-Breaking Qi Pill from Lin Yuan.
Looking at Ling Ying, Lin Yuan roughly understood what he was thinking.
"It seems that these elixirs are prepared to protect Xiao Yan on the way to Canaan College. Gu Xun'er really cares about Xiao Yan. But this is good, so that I can have the opportunity to establish a relationship with Gu Xun'er. Trading relationships, collecting resources.”
If Ling Ying, the spokesperson of Gu Xun’er, is willing to trade, then the second Bodhi body saliva will be guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan was in a good mood.
"Goodbye, everyone!"
"I will go back to the Holy City of Gama first and mobilize manpower according to the plan. Everyone, please act quickly and don't miss the time."
Complete After the scheduled transaction, Lin Yuan also decisively chose to leave. He wanted to go back and study the earth-level soul skills he had obtained.
"In addition, Brother Xiao, go to Canaan College to enroll as soon as possible! You can feel more at ease in the college. As an elder of Canaan College, I feel very sad when I see you, a student on leave running around outside. It’s also a bit complicated.”
After warning Xiao Yan, Lin Yuan flew to the imperial capital with Medusa.
