Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 226 Conference Rewards

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."

Looking at the small black bottle in her hand, Nalan Yanran tightened her grip, then slowly put it down.

Since returning to the Yunlan Sect, she has gone to Elder Guhe's place several times, trying to get information about the soul light ball from him, in order to get a glimpse of the degree of corruption within the Yunlan Sect.

In her opinion, Gu He not only has the trust of his teacher, but is also a sixth-grade alchemist with extremely strong attainments in soul power. He does not usually collude with other elders and is definitely a person who can be trusted.

But unfortunately, the other party had entered a long period of seclusion since returning from the desert. Even though she wanted to wait here, she would feel a little annoyed after being rejected many times. For a while, she felt like she was stuck in a deadlock.

"Yanran, although the teacher is not here, I have now reached the threshold of a fourth-grade alchemist. If you need anything, perhaps I can help you."

Behind Nalan Yanran, a handsome man took a few steps closer and smiled at her. His smile was feminine, but it looked quite sincere.

"Liu Ling."

Her thoughts were interrupted, and Nalan Yanran had to turn around and look at the young man beside her, saying politely but with a hint of distance:

"I think I've said it many times. I came to see Uncle Gu He not to ask for the elixir, but for another reason. You don't need to wait here for me every day."

Liu Ling felt a little embarrassed by the other party's lukewarm attitude. She immediately cleared her throat and smiled softly:

"Yanran, your words are too unfamiliar. Even if you're not seeking elixirs, since you chose to come to me instead of Sect Master Yun, it must be related to your identity as an alchemist. If I neglect you, I'm afraid I'll be scolded by my teacher when he finishes his retreat."

It has to be said that Liu Ling's half-self-deprecating jokes, coupled with that handsome face full of concern, are indeed very lethal to young and ignorant girls, making it impossible for people to refuse.

But Nalan Yanran did not seem happy. Instead, her pretty face turned cold in an instant, as if a sore spot had been touched.

She was extremely disgusted with this kind of hypocritical posturing, especially after the conflict with Elder Frost. This feeling became even stronger, making it almost impossible for her to control her anger.

In fact, it was because Nalan Yanran could not stand Elder Shuang's hypocritical attitude that she came to ask Gu He, not because she thought Gu He's spiritual attainments were higher than the other party.

After all, the terrifying soul pressure that the other party unintentionally exuded was far from comparable to the aura of the ancestor that he accidentally sensed many years ago!

that woman
Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran felt lost, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly in a playful arc, and she smiled and said:
"Okay, if you're interested, please help me analyze how the contents of this bottle were taken out."

After saying that, she didn't intend to hide it. She raised her hand and threw the bottle in her hand out. Liu Ling caught it quickly, and she couldn't help feeling overjoyed.

In his opinion, although Nalan Yanran had a very high talent for cultivation, her wind-attributed fighting spirit was destined to have no connection with alchemy.

Therefore, even if she is quite interested in things related to alchemy, she is most likely just an outsider watching the fun. Isn't it a simple matter to satisfy her curiosity?

"Haha, Yanran, don't worry, the things inside..."

Liu Ling froze in the middle of his words. The pride in his smile gradually turned into uncertainty, and his handsome face suddenly turned pale.

"This, this is a soul ball of light?!"

He looked at the mocking girl in front of him with a somewhat horrified expression, and asked in fear, "Yanran, where did you get this?"

Absorbing soul light balls is an absolute taboo for alchemists. It is a taboo that Gu He strictly declared on the first day he accepted him as his apprentice. Once anyone is found trying to absorb the soul light balls of others, he will be expelled immediately!

This is the ethics and bottom line that any senior alchemist must possess.

The reason why Xiao Yan was not told by Yao Lao at the beginning was because Yao Lao had already ended up with only his soul body left in a miserable state. Even if he had not told him, Xiao Yan would never have taken the initiative to plunder other people's souls.

Seeing this, Nalan Yanran wasn't surprised at all. She simply shook her head in boredom, and with her Dou Qi released, she snatched the bottle from the other person's hand. With such a mastery of Dou Qi release, it was obvious that Nalan Yanran had already reached the level of a Grand Dou Master, and that level was not low.

"Farewell."

These two simple words did not answer Liu Ling's question, but made him stop in his tracks in a daze. For a moment, he no longer had the courage to chase after him.

Liu Ling frowned slightly as he looked at Nalan Yanran's receding figure. He unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, feeling a little ashamed and angry in his heart.

"Hmph, wait until I win the championship of the Alchemist Conference. I don't believe Yanran won't look at me with disdain."

Nalan Yanran didn't care at all about the so-called Alchemist Conference. After several twists and turns, she finally arrived in front of the familiar cave.

After hesitating for a long time, Nalan Yanran was just about to knock on the door tentatively when the originally closed door was suddenly pushed open by an invisible force. Nalan Yanran, who was unable to control her strength for a moment, almost fell in.

Looking at the ghostly figure in the house, Nalan Yanran took a deep breath and said gloomily, "Did you know I was coming?"

"Alas, Young Sect Master Yanran is running around the sect with that conspicuous little black bottle. It's hard not to notice even if you want to~"

Hun Ruoruo calmly hooked her fingers, and the bottle instantly escaped from Nalan Yanran's control and instead hung on the girl's fair and tender little hand. One black and one white, it looked extremely incongruous.

"Soul Light Ball. It seems that you have gained a lot from the Mo family. You even secretly hid something like this on your body."

"Sure enough, you know about the existence of the Mohist School!"

Nalan Yanran was filled with emotion. She pointed a trembling hand at the girl in the black dress and said urgently, "How many people have lost their lives because of this? Don't you know? What exactly is hidden within the Yunlan Sect?!"

"Oh—that unruly young lady who disregarded the lives of others for her own selfish desires can actually be so indignant."

Hun Ruoruo pouted and sneered quietly, "How hypocritical!"

"you!"

"Forget it, forget it. You are the eldest daughter of the Nalan family, the next leader of a prestigious and upright sect. How can a deputy leader disobey the orders of the future leader?"

Hun Ruoruo covered her mouth and laughed, then said helplessly: "However, since the Young Sect Master asked me to do something, I should at least do a favor in return, right?"

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran's pretty face changed for a moment, and finally she said angrily: "Don't try to deceive me with the illusion of candied haws. I know you have big plans. If you have something to say, just say it directly. If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Hun Ruoruo nodded in satisfaction, and then said slowly:

"I heard that a contestant from another empire performed quite well in the preliminary rounds of this Alchemist Conference. I feel like the conference might be quite interesting."

"With your strength, would you still pay attention to the Alchemist Conference?"

"I really like alchemy, so of course I'm interested in these little geniuses with no background."

Hun Ruoruo clapped her hands and stood up happily: "How about adding some extra ingredients to the champion's reward?"

Sensitively noticing that the other party seemed to emphasize the word "no background", Nalan Yanran became alert and asked cautiously, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Simple, just take it as the prize for the champion. Can you please help me run some errands, Young Sect Master? Remember to tell me that it's a bonus provided by my Yunlan Sect~"

Pointing to the lush plants placed by the window frame in the distance, Hun Ruoruo said with a smile.

The vice president of the Izumo Empire Alchemist Guild is obviously an excellent Dou Wang soul.
