—------------------—
Screams echoed through the mountains, and no other sound was heard.
"The examination continues."
The people in front of the Soul Palace fortress woke up as if from a dream. Instead of feeling discouraged and unwilling to join the Soul Palace, they looked forward to it even more.
Joining such a strong and truly powerful sect is definitely what they have always dreamed of.
"Mubai, how are you?"
Oscar and the others helped Dai Mubai, who had fallen to the ground, up and asked in a low voice.
Dai Mubai's face was pale, he was covered in cold sweat, and his body was shaking in pain.
This pain comes not only from the body, but also from the soul. The combined pain of the two is unbearable.
"Let's go."
Flanders was not seriously injured. He said to Oscar and the others with a stern face:
"Help Mu Bai, let's get out of here quickly."
The Soul Palace's decisiveness and force were far beyond Flanders' expectations.
Dai Mubai revealed his life story, but instead of being forgiven, he was treated even more harshly.
He was worried that if he stayed here any longer, he might even lose his life.
"Yes, yes, yes, leave now."
Ma Hongjun nodded hurriedly. He was terrified by what happened to Dai Mubai.
"Zhuqing, hurry up and follow me."
After walking a few steps, Flanders found that Zhu Zhuqing did not follow him.
He thought Zhu Zhuqing was going to speak up for Dai Mubai and was very anxious.
Dai Mubai has already been killed, so Zhu Zhuqing cannot be crippled as well.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and hesitated for a while, then raised her head towards the Soul Palace and asked:
"Seniors, since you knew that I failed the test because of his interference, why didn't you make the decision for me right then? I could clearly pass the test and join the Soul Palace."
Xiao Mu waved his hand and said to Yang Ziqi:
"You answer this silly question."
After saying that, Xiao Mu left.
Yang Ziqi also thought this question was boring and stupid.
"Why didn't you say you were being harassed? Why didn't you dare ask for justice from the people who plotted against you?"
"I..."
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned pale.
At that time, she did think about turning against Dai Mubai directly, and also thought about asking for help from Yang Ziqi, who was in charge of the assessment.
But she had considered a lot at the time. She was worried that the Soul Palace would not care about such a small matter, and she was also worried that if she failed to join the Soul Palace and had a falling out with Dai Mubai, it would be even more disadvantageous to her.
This hesitation led to leaving.
"I'm scared..." Zhu Zhuqing wanted to find a suitable reason.
"Afraid?" Yang Ziqi snorted.
"What are you afraid of? We in the Soul Palace don't need cowards, let alone soulless bodies that lack the ability to act independently or resist."
"The Soul Palace is not a place to seek justice for others. If you are incompetent and cowardly, don't expect others to help you seek justice. Get out of here."
After Yang Ziqi finished speaking, he waved his hand.
The fog rolled in, completely covering the Soul Palace.
Zhu Zhuqing, standing in front of the fog, had a pale face and a blank mind, with only Yang Ziqi's words "a soulless body" echoing in her mind.
…
"Palace Master, you called me back. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
After returning to the Heavenly Palace, Xiao Mu asked someone to summon Ye Lingyun and Dugu Bo who had returned from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
"I do have something to teach you. I plan to teach you the art of alchemy. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the talent and can learn it."
"What?"
Dugu Bo and Ye Lingyun both felt like they were hit by a huge surprise.
They all knew that Xiao Mu was the only one in the Soul Palace who could refine pills, and they never expected Xiao Mu to pass on the alchemy skills to them.
Xiao Mu chose them for a reason. Both of them were very powerful. Dugu Bo was even a Titled Douluo, and it was no problem for him to use his soul power to refine third-grade elixirs.
Moreover, one of them is a poison master and the other is a doctor, so they both have a relatively deep understanding of medicinal materials and their medicinal properties. At least Xiao Mu doesn't need to teach them the basics slowly.
"Thank you for your trust and cultivation, Palace Master. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if it means my death." Dugu Bo, after being influenced by Zhan Kaishan, immediately expressed his loyalty.
Although Ye Lingyun does not have the same superb language organization skills as Dugu Bo, her attitude is the same.
"Don't get too excited too soon. Alchemy may look difficult, but it's actually not that simple at all. If you can't learn it, your excitement will be in vain."
"Yes, I will definitely study hard."
There is a special alchemy room in the Heavenly Palace.
This alchemy room is much better than the small room in the manor before. The alchemy room is directly connected to the underground fire vein. Even if it does not have its own flame, it can use the underground fire to make pills.
Moreover, this alchemy room has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit, so alchemy can be made with twice the result with half the effort.
"Come here."
Dugu Bo and Ye Lingyun stepped forward upon hearing this.
Xiao Mu stretched out his left and right hands at the same time, and touched the eyebrows of the two people with two fingers.
The power of the soul flowed into the minds of the two people along their fingers, and several pill recipes and refining methods appeared in their minds.
This method of soul transmission can save a lot of time, but to really teach them how to refine pills, Xiao Mu has to demonstrate it in person and teach them in practice.
Ye Lingyun's own martial soul does not have the fire attribute. Dugu Bo possesses the Void Devouring Flame Sub-Fire given by Xiao Mu, but he has not mastered it for long and his control over the sub-fire needs to be strengthened. Xiao Mu simply uses underground fire to refine pills.
"I will teach you how to refine the first type of elixir, which is also the most famous elixir in our Soul Palace now, the Soul-Breaking Pill."
Dugu Bo and Ye Lingyun listened attentively, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
What Xiao Mu wanted to refine was of course a first-grade Soul-Breaking Pill. For Xiao Mu now, refining this kind of pill was extremely easy and could save him many steps.
But since it was a teaching job, Xiao Mu patiently demonstrated each step clearly to the two of them, and provided explanations.
"The Wind-Walking Grass needs to be cold-extracted, and the Yang-Restoring Grass needs its moisture completely removed..."
Xiao Mu's teaching was very detailed, and Dugu Bo and Ye Lingyun were not stupid people, so they remembered every step firmly in their minds.
Although he was not using the Void Devouring Flame and the steps had not been streamlined, Xiao Mu still successfully refined a furnace of Soul-Breaking Pills in just over ten minutes.
The alchemy furnace opened, and six first-level three-patterned soul-breaking pills surrounded by cloud patterns flew out.
"Have you memorized all the refining steps?"
"I've got it all down."
Dugu Bo and Ye Lingyun answered at the same time.
"Very good. Next, it's your turn to start refining the elixir."
In this alchemy room, in addition to Xiao Mu's Ten Thousand Souls Alchemy Furnace, there are also three alchemy furnaces attached to the Soul Palace.
Although its effect is not as good as that of the Wanhun Alchemy Furnace, it is definitely a top-notch alchemy furnace.
"Each of you choose an alchemy furnace and begin refining the elixir."
"yes."
The two took a deep breath and each chose a furnace.
None of them wanted to fail in their first attempt at alchemy. They were worried that if they disappointed the Palace Master, he would think that they had no talent for alchemy and would not teach them the art again.
Bang~
Two streams of fire rose.
Xiao Mu said, "Control your flames well. Don't rush into refining the elixir. The most important thing in refining the elixir is controlling the power of the fire. A slight difference in temperature can make a world of difference in the result."
Dugu Bo and Ye Lingyun did not reply. The only thing in their eyes now was the flames under the alchemy furnace, and they were completely immersed in it.
"Alright, let's start refining the elixir."
After all, the soul power of the two was there, and before long, they were able to control the earth fire smoothly.
