Chapter 296 Heavenly Soul Wood

"It's actually the Heavenly Soul Wood. Junior Brother Gu, where did you get it from?"

Gu Chen pointed to the street outside the building and said casually: "I bought this at a stall on the road when I just came here. It cost me one spirit stone. Brother Xu, what is this?"

"A spiritual stone?"

Xu Youde's eyes, which were only slits, widened a bit in an instant, and he said enviously, "Tsk tsk, Junior Brother Gu is really lucky to have picked up such a bargain on this street. This thing is called Heavenly Soul Wood, a spiritual wood that grows in extremely yin places. It grows extremely slowly, and it takes ten years to grow an inch. Just this piece must be at least five hundred years old to grow.

Because it grows in an extremely yin place, it is corroded by yin energy. However, wood represents vitality, and the combination of the two has given rise to the name "Heavenly Soul". Carrying this object year-round can subtly enhance one's spirit. It is said that some martial arts masters in the Soul Condensation Realm can even place their spirits within this wood. It is an extremely precious treasure.

Looking at Gu Chen's somewhat confused eyes, it was obvious that he didn't know much about the various realms of the extraordinary realm.

Xu Youde tried to explain in simple, understandable terms, "About twenty years ago, a piece of Heavenly Soul Wood appeared in Tianya Pavilion on Island 36. It was slightly smaller than yours and was eventually bought for 50,000 Spirit Stones."

Now Gu Chen understood, and was pleasantly surprised for a moment.

I found a bargain with just one spirit stone and can sell it for 50,000 spirit stones. This is too fast a way to make money.

"Then can this thing replace the red treasure gold?"

Xu Youde smiled bitterly and said, "Replacement? Ten pieces of red gold would be enough. Forget it. If Junior Brother Gu really doesn't want to owe me a favor, you can send someone to deliver three thousand spirit stones later. As for this Heavenly Soul Wood, I don't recommend you sell it. Elder Zhong has already condensed his spirit body. The next step is to open the Soul Palace and strengthen his spirit. This item just happens to be useful to him."

Gu Chen was delighted when he heard this, especially when he heard that the Heavenly Soul Wood was actually useful to his master, he was overjoyed and subconsciously grabbed the Heavenly Soul Wood in his hand.

"In that case, thank you very much, Senior Brother Xu."

"Okay, okay. I just hope that Elder Zhong can be promoted to a sixth-grade alchemist as soon as possible."

"That is a must. Master will surely succeed."

Gu Chen's face was full of confidence.

……

On the top of Huoyun Palace, the mountain breeze blows gently and the world is silent.

Ouyang Daoyong led a group of disciples and had been guarding outside the door for a long time.

Ouyang Daoyong was guarding the main gate of Huoyun Palace, while the other disciples were guarding the surrounding areas. The entire Liuyun Peak was under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Even a fly or a mouse would be crushed within a hundred feet.

The key point is that no one in the entire Ziyun Sect was dissatisfied with this trend. Instead, they felt that it was a bit too light. Some disciples even proposed to seal off the entire Ziyun City and even Island No. 81, but it was rejected by Zhong Lin in the end.

Ouyang Daoyong and Wan Pu were like sculptures, waiting outside silently.

The liquid spiritual energy around the two of them was all held back, but once it began to stir, it was like a powerful blow from the mountain.

The two of them are here to protect Zhong Lin. Anyone who wants to disturb Zhong Lin must first get past them.

For several days, there was still no news from the Huoyun Palace, and they both became increasingly anxious.

This is a sixth-grade elixir. As long as it is successfully refined, one can step into the ranks of sixth-grade alchemists in one fell swoop and become the second sixth-grade alchemist in the entire Falling Star Islands. The Ziyun Sect can also take advantage of the situation and rise up. Although it is still not as good as the Seven Star Sect, it will definitely be at the forefront among these 108 islands.

With such an opportunity, no accidents due to external forces should be allowed to occur.

Suddenly, Ouyang Daoyong's eyebrows moved, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

Wan Pu on the side also looked towards Huoyun Palace with excitement.

At some point, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from the palace on the top of the mountain.

The master and the disciple exchanged glances, and both felt nervous.

Gu Chen sat there bored, wanting to say something but unable to, so he could only squat and count ants.

Finally, accompanied by a clear sound, the door of Huoyun Palace, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened under their expectant gaze.

shhhhhh!
With the sound of breaking through the air, Qiu Ju, Mu Qing, Lei Jun and Xu Youde who were guarding around all appeared in front of the gate, their eyes looking forward nervously.

The door opened, and Zhong Lin appeared before their eyes. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Zhong Lin's face.

"Elder Zhong, is the pill ready?"

Ouyang Daoyong's voice trembled slightly.

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "Everything went well. This is the Purple Mansion Pill. Please taste it, Sect Master."

As he spoke, Zhong Lin turned his wrist and took out the jade bottle containing the Purple Mansion Pill. A strong fragrance of the pill wafted out of it, which was more than a hundred times stronger than the one that just wafted out of the Fire Cloud Palace.

"it is good."

Ouyang Daoyong cheered loudly and laughed heartily, "Thank you for your hard work, Elder Zhong."

Led by Wan Pu, many disciples bowed and congratulated, "Congratulations to Elder Zhong on his promotion to the sixth-rank alchemist."

Everyone is smiling and feels proud of it.

This is a sixth-grade alchemist. There are only two in the entire Luoxing Islands, and now one of them was born in Ziyun Sect.

The status of an alchemist is inherently higher than that of a warrior. A sixth-grade alchemist would not trade for a warrior in the Soul Condensation Realm, and could even be on par with a Xuandan master.

To round it off, their Ziyun Sect has added a new Xuandan master.

How could this not excite them?
"Happy together, rejoice together."

Zhong Lin laughed heartily and waved his right hand. A fifth-grade Zhenyuan Pill flew into the hands of each of the people in front of him.

"Wan Park."

Ouyang Daoyong suddenly shouted.

"The disciple is here."

"Immediately notify all islands in the Falling Star Archipelago that I will hold an Alchemist Banquet for Elder Zhong in a month."

Wan Pu also smiled and said loudly: "Yes, disciple will go now."

Holding the "Alchemist Banquet" is not just for celebration, but also for announcement.

Zhong Lin did not refuse, just like when Yu Jinglei broke through the Xiantian realm in Xuangui Continent that year and wanted to hold a "Grandmaster Banquet".

The so-called wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking at night in brocade clothes.

The identity of a sixth-grade alchemist also allows one to have more contact with powerful people from all sides and better collect resources.

After talking for a while, everyone dispersed, and everyone was excited to spread the news of the existence of the sixth-grade alchemist.

"Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master."

After everyone left, Gu Chen finally had the chance to speak and happily expressed his congratulations.

Zhong Lin glanced at him and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard, other people don't know, don't you know it?"

Gu Chen chuckled, knowing that what his master meant was that he had already been promoted to a sixth-grade alchemist a long time ago, and it was just slowly showing up now.

"Congratulations, I just found a treasure today, and I want to present it to Master."

"Baby? What baby can you have?"

"Master, please look."

"Heavenly Soul Wood?"
