Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 74 How Similar

"Young Master, you must have something to discuss with me. Today, for your sake, I will let that unfilial son off the hook." A kind smile appeared on his aged face, and Elder Dan happily invited Hun Qing into the main hall.

He had lived in the Soul Realm for many years and had watched this little girl grow up. He also understood the clan leader's love and care for her. So, although the little girl was a bit domineering, she was simple-minded and clear-headed, much better than his unfilial disciple.

Sigh! There are many loyal and righteous people in the Soul Realm, so why did they send that unfilial bastard Hun Xuzi to infiltrate the Little Pill Tower? And why did he take a liking to him at first sight? No wonder he joined the Soul Clan!

"Why is Elder Dan sighing?"

After the two sat down facing each other, Hunqing saw that Elder Dan was smiling for a while and then sighing, so he couldn't help but ask a question.

"It's nothing, I just thought of a certain unfilial son," Elder Dan said with a shake of his head and a soft sigh.

"I heard that Elder Dan has taken Hun Dan as his disciple. Now that you have a new disciple, what do you still want Hun Xuzi for?" As he spoke, a smile appeared on Hun Qinghao's face. "In my opinion, you still have a sliver of hope for this disciple."

"Little girl, you love to talk nonsense." The old man immediately puffed out his beard and glared at her. "How old are you? You're already pretending to be profound and trying to see through people's hearts."

Hun Qinghao pointed to his eyes, "Hmph, my eyes are wide open, you know what 'fiery eyes' mean?"

"Hehe..." Yao Chen, lying inside the ring, couldn't help but laugh upon hearing her confident words. He then cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Ahem... then who was it that was so easily fooled by someone before?"

Hun Qinghao gritted his teeth and stomped his foot: "..."

You can't let go of this dark history, can you?

"Judging from the young master's expression, he must be thinking of something unpleasant," Elder Dan said with a faint smile, speaking slowly and deliberately.

She pursed her lips, waved her hand dismissively, and said, "Never mind, it's a long story..."

When she mentioned Saint Spirit Dragon again, she no longer felt the anger she had when she learned she had been deceived. Now, all she felt was indifference and endless disgust.

Then, Hun Qing looked around, set up a spatial barrier to cover the two of them, and said seriously, "To get back to the point, the main reason I came to find Elder Dan is to ask you to help me refine a Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, as well as a new body."

Upon hearing this, Elder Dan paused slightly, then revealed a knowing smile. "Young Master, it's for the one in the ring, isn't it?"

Elder Dan's words were full of certainty, and Hun Qinghao did not show any nervousness in front of the Void Devouring Flame this time. Instead, he readily admitted, "That's right."

"However, there are two ninth-grade alchemists in the Soul Realm. Why doesn't Young Master go to Soul Void Master, but instead comes to me?" Elder Dan stroked his white beard, smiling as he looked at the girl before him. "You should know that I was the tower master of the Lesser Pill Tower in my previous life. Aren't you afraid that I might secretly cause trouble for you?"

Hun Qing was taken aback. She had thought about this question before, which was why she chose Elder Dan.

She smiled brightly, lowered her eyes slightly, stroked the black ring on her thumb, and said with a smile, "We are both ninth-grade alchemists. Hun Xuzi has a criminal record, but I trust Dan Lao's character."

"Furthermore, Hun Xuzi is Father's confidant. If I go to him, Father will surely find out about Teacher's existence. But now is not the time. It concerns Teacher, so I must be cautious!"

The words of the Void Devouring Flame still left a mark on Hun Qinghao's heart, causing her to temporarily change the choice of person.

Looking up at the kind old man, Hun Qinghao earnestly requested, "Elder Dan, please don't let anyone else know that I'm asking you to refine the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill and a body for me!"

"Very well, I promise you, young master, that no third party will know about this matter." After a moment of silence, Elder Dan finally nodded in agreement.

It seems that the little girl has experienced a lot in the past two years. It's true that it's not easy for a soul to survive in the Soul Realm. No wonder she was in a hurry to refine a body for that soul and did so without telling the clan leader.

"Now, young master, perhaps I should meet the person in the ring. I'd like to see who this person is that you would honor as your teacher?" Elder Dan maintained his gentle smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp gaze fell on the ring on Hun Qinghao's left hand.

Back then, after experiencing the young master's powerful soul force, he had considered taking her as his disciple, but when he mentioned it to the clan leader, the clan leader sternly refused.

Who would have thought that while the clan leader was in seclusion, the young master ran away for two years, bringing back not only an older sister but also a teacher!

Chieftain, you've miscalculated this time!

"This..." Hun Qinghao bit her lip, feeling hesitant.

"Qing'er, since Senior Dan wants to see me, then let him see me." Seeing that Hun Qinghao did not respond for a long time, Yao Chen sighed and made the decision for her, then came out of the ring.

The surrounding temperature was dropping, a chill was spreading, and a pale white flame rose up. Surrounded by the bone spirit cold fire, Yao Chen's figure slowly appeared.

The appearance of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame caused Dan Lao's expression to change instantly. He stared wide-eyed at Yao Chen and the eerie white flames around him, exclaiming in shock, "It's actually a strange flame! Its soul power is also considerable. You're also an alchemist?"

Elder Dan knew very well how rare a different kind of fire was, because he had spent his entire life without ever possessing one. He had even tried to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames sealed in the Pill Tower, but it ended in failure.

Even after death, when only a soul remained, he was valued by the Soul Clan Chief and thus obtained a cluster of Void Devouring Flame.

"Junior Yao Chen greets Senior Dan!" Yao Chen bowed respectfully. He had studied at the Pill Tower and had heard of this senior's deeds, so he was very respectful.

"Yao Chen?" Upon hearing this name, Elder Dan was taken aback. It sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. He thought for a moment.

After a long while, Elder Dan finally remembered who Yao Chen was.

"You're that kid from the Medicine Clan? I remember you had a great talent for alchemy. It's been so many years, how come you've ended up like this?" Looking at Yao Chen, who was also a soul, Dan Lao's gossipy nature was instantly activated, and all sorts of possibilities were already imagining in his mind.

Yao Chen smiled bitterly, wanting to say that the Soul Palace was responsible for his actions, but also worried that Hun Qinghao might harbor resentment.

However, when he turned around, he saw the little girl holding her face in her hands, blinking her big eyes at them, looking carefree and wanting to hear the story, not thinking about anything else.

With a helpless smile, Yao Chen said in a relatively relaxed tone, "Like you, I was also betrayed by my former disciples..."

Elder Dan's expression stiffened for a moment, then he patted Yao Chen's shoulder and sighed deeply, "How similar we are! We are both wanderers in this world!"

But at the same time, they were both lucky; at least their second judgment was correct.
