"Wasn't that the Soul Palace just now? Where are we going now?"
In most people's impressions, the location of the Soul Palace is the small manor mentioned earlier.
Xiao Wu followed Tang San silently the entire time, not daring to show her head.
I don't know whether to say that she is stupid or that she trusts her luck too much. She is obviously scared to death, but she still chooses to go to the Soul Palace with Tang San.
"Boss Dai, do you think the Soul Palace is some evil sect? They want to use humans to make elixirs. Why did they bring us into the mountains?"
Ma Hongjun's eyes rolled around and he spoke to Dai Mubai in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense." Dai Mubai frowned.
Although he stopped Ma Hongjun from talking nonsense, Dai Mubai also became a little nervous. One must be on guard against others. Who knows whether this mysterious Soul Palace is good or evil.
Yang Ziqi listened to the various discussions coming from behind him, with no intention of explaining at all, and just kept walking forward.
"It's a sunny day, why is there such thick fog over there?"
Suddenly someone discovered that a large area ahead was covered by thick fog.
Tang San also looked towards the fog, but his vision was severely obstructed and he couldn't see clearly at all.
He closed and opened his eyes, activated the Purple Demonic Pupil, and looked towards the fog again.
"Ah~"
He suddenly felt a pain in his eyes and screamed as he looked away.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Wu didn't know what was wrong with Tang San, so she hurriedly supported the shaking Tang San and found that Tang San's eyes were full of tears.
"Xiao San, are you okay?" Dai Mubai also came over.
"I'm fine. There's something wrong with that fog. My Purple Demonic Pupil can't see through it, and it even hurt my eyes a little."
This was the first time Tang San encountered such a situation.
In the past, he couldn't say that he was always successful when using the Purple Demon Eye, but at least even if he couldn't see through the obstacles, he wouldn't be hit back.
When he looked at the fog with his Purple Demonic Pupils just now, he seemed to see a pair of eyes in the fog looking at him, which made him feel extremely frightened.
The Mist-Locking Soul-Mazing Array is essentially a maze and does not have much attack power, which is why Tang San did not suffer serious damage.
However, the effect of the Mist-Locking Bewilderment Array in isolating prying and detection was very strong. Tang San was used to using the Purple Demon Eye and wanted to see everything, and this time he ran into something that was aimed at him.
"I knew there was something wrong with the fog."
Ma Hongjun once again expressed his opinion and suggested, "Let's go. If we lose our lives here, we'll be finished."
This time even Dai Mubai hesitated.
"Xiao San, what do you think?"
Tang San covered his eyes and said, "Go, of course I have to go. I am becoming more and more interested in the Soul Palace."
Not only is there a magical method of refining pills, but there is also such a strange formation. Tang San is very curious about the unique things in the Soul Palace and wants to steal all of them... and learn them.
"Ah? Still want to go?" Ma Hongjun couldn't understand what Tang San was thinking.
Ma Hongjun had a herd mentality and was unwilling to leave alone, so he had to continue to move forward with the crowd.
Yang Ziqi led everyone to the front of the fog.
"open."
As Yang Ziqi spoke, the fog in the mist-locking maze surged, creating a narrow path wide enough for one person to pass through.
"Stay on this path. If you run around and something happens, Soul Palace will not be responsible."
Everyone in the Soul Palace has their aura left behind by the Soul Palace fortress, and Tianzun even has the right to open a temporary passage.
"What a magical formation."
Everyone exclaimed.
Walking into the long and narrow passage, although Tang San was still curious about this formation, he didn't dare to use the Purple Demon Eyes to look around.
"Palace Master, the Three Heavenly Venerables have returned."
On the wall of the Soul Palace fortress, Ye Lingling pointed at the small path that appeared in the fog-locked maze.
Xiao Mu looked around and saw Yang Ziqi taking the lead and walking out of the formation.
Behind him, many young soul masters ranging in age from six to sixteen filed in one after another.
Some of these people were trembling with fear, some were terrified, and some were brave enough to look around curiously.
Xiao Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and sensed a... no, two unique souls.
One is that the soul and the body seem to be one, but in fact there are many incompatibilities, which is very consistent with the situation of rebirth through possession of another body.
The other's soul is very similar to that of a human, but is essentially incompatible with the human soul.
These two soul characteristics immediately made Xiao Mu think of two people.
"Huh, I didn't expect them to also come to participate in the Soul Palace assessment."
"Who?" Ye Lingling looked down curiously.
"Palace Master, is there anyone you know among these people?"
Xiao Mu shook his head: "Not really an acquaintance."
Ye Lingling was full of questions. How could he recognize someone at a glance even though he didn't know him?
Xiao Mu didn't care too much about Tang San, Xiao Wu and the others. They didn't deserve to be valued or deliberately targeted by Xiao Mu.
If it bothers his eyes, just wipe it away.
Xiao Mu's attention is now attracted by the main task prompt of the Soul Palace system.
Main Quest 3: Soul Hall Reputation reaches one million points, Soul Hall staff reaches one thousand, train three alchemists capable of refining third-grade or lower elixirs, and sign one hundred soul contracts.
The requirements of the third main mission are much more difficult than the first two main missions. Except for the reputation value mission, all others appear for the first time.
The task of increasing the number of people in the Soul Palace is not so easy to complete. Although the Soul Palace has begun to recruit disciples, there are definitely not that many who meet the standards.
Of course, if Xiao Mu is willing to relax the standards, he will be able to gather a thousand disciples quickly, but accepting some useless people will only ruin the reputation of the Soul Palace.
After a little thought, Xiao Mu came up with an idea.
As for training alchemists, Xiao Mu also planned to do so even if there was no system task.
Now he is the only alchemist in the Soul Palace, and all the pills need to be refined by him alone. By training a few alchemists, he can hand over the refining of some low-level pills to them.
The last task is both difficult and simple.
A soul contract is a contract to sell one's soul. After owing this contract, the soul of the contractor becomes the property of the Soul Palace. After death, the soul will be automatically taken away by the contract.
It is not easy to make someone sign a soul contract for no reason, but it is not difficult to do it by using coercion or inducement.
A new task has appeared, and Xiao Mu is full of energy again.
He didn't have to worry about his reputation value, as it had been growing rapidly. With the subsequent auctions of elixirs and the emergence of soul bones, his reputation value would only increase faster and faster.
After finishing the recruitment of disciples, Xiao Mu decided to go on a long journey.
Below the castle, a group of people participating in the Soul Palace disciple assessment looked at the Soul Palace fortress in amazement.
"The real Soul Palace is actually here?"
Many people living in Tiandou City were surprised.
This place is not far from Tiandou City. Such a magnificent fortress was built here, but there was no movement at all and no one even noticed it.
"Everyone, be quiet. Now we will begin your entrance examination."
Yang Ziqi's calm tone made everyone feel uneasy. They didn't know how difficult the Soul Palace disciple assessment would be.
"The first test is very simple. You only need to enter the Soul Hall through the main gate to pass the first level."
"So simple?"
Many people couldn't believe their ears.
"Simple?" Yang Ziqi smiled.
He had personally experienced the difficulty of the assessment, and he could guarantee that at least 90% of these people would be eliminated.
