Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 228 Soul Palace Headquarters

"However, taking the Azure Spirit Pill will not affect your ability to continue taking the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. You can try refining this pill to become a third-grade alchemist."

"Your strength is now that of a two-star Dou Shi, and you are cultivating a high-level Xuan-rank technique, so your Dou Qi is sufficient to refine the Qingling Pill. Inside this storage ring is a high-level medicine cauldron and the ingredients for one hundred Qingling Pills."

"This... I can't accept this."

Xue Mei shook her head to refuse Xiao Jue, but Xiao Jue forcibly stuffed the item into her hand.

"These things are nothing to me. In the meantime, I'll teach you alchemy."

For an alchemist, the quickest way to build a relationship is to refine pills together. A certain mysterious top alchemist in Zhongzhou, who has a crush on his teacher, is extremely confident in this regard.

As for the master and disciple... cough cough, this can be considered Xiao Jue's lineage of sect inheritance. Of course, it's not a fight with the sect of Medicine Venerable, but with Xuan Yi and Yao Yue...

Seeing that Xue Mei still wanted to refuse, Xiao Jue said firmly, "Accept it. Now I will guide you in alchemy."

"Thanks."

Xue Mei blushed as she put on the storage ring, then used her soul power to sweep across the scroll in her hand, thinking of repaying Xiao Jue with her body.

Then, Xue Mei took out a medicine cauldron from her storage ring. It was made by Xiao Jue using some extremely precious materials and a strange fire.

Although it is not as good as the real Heavenly Cauldron, it is not far off. The medicine cauldron is only suitable for alchemists below the ninth rank.

Looking at the silver-gray medicine cauldron in front of her, Xue Mei was slightly stunned. Even just one glance was enough to tell that this medicine cauldron was extremely valuable. In the entire Jia Ma Empire, there were probably not many medicine cauldrons better than this.

Xiao Jue said, "Refining pills involves four steps: refining medicinal materials, fusing medicinal liquids, purifying medicinal liquids, and condensing the pill."

"When I was learning alchemy, I relied on my excellent soul control and fire control to perfectly carry out every step of the pill refining process. Therefore, I have an almost 100% success rate when refining pills."

"Many people say that being an alchemist is a lucrative but also expensive profession, because the learning process requires burning a lot of medicinal herbs."

"You don't need to worry about that. I have a special strange fire that ranks fifth on the Strange Fire Ranking. It's called the Flame of Life. The terrifying life force it contains can make the seeds of medicinal herbs grow directly into mature herbs."

"So next, all you need to do is practice until you master it, keep trying to refine the Azure Spirit Pill, and you can become a third-grade alchemist."

"The ingredients for one hundred portions of grade-three elixirs..."

Xue Mei swallowed hard. Most alchemy techniques connect with each other by helping others refine pills.

Buying medicinal herbs with her own money is too expensive, but now she has an opportunity to spend her herbs indefinitely to learn alchemy.

Watching Xue Mei begin to attempt refining pills, Xiao Jue smiled slightly, a thought flashing through his mind as he considered Long Yan's situation.

……

Having arrived in Zhongzhou, Long Yan's destination was naturally the only remaining Heavenly Hall of the Soul Palace's Heavenly Gang Hall, which was also the main hall of the Soul Palace and the location of the Soul Palace Master, Hun Miesheng.

The Soul Palace is extremely mysterious in the Central Continent. Ordinary people rarely encounter anyone from the Soul Palace. Not to mention its headquarters, even some of its branches are little known.

Even so, the Soul Hall is still on par with the Pill Tower, which shows how terrifying its hidden power is. But for Long Yan, finding the Soul Hall headquarters is not a difficult task.

Moreover, there were rumors in the past that the three giants of the Pill Tower joined forces to deal with the Lord of the Soul Palace. It is unknown who spread these outrageous and direct rumors.

Let alone Hun Miesheng, even the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall, or even the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Hall, are beyond the capabilities of the former three giants of the Pill Tower.

Of course, Xuan Yi has now become a Dou Sheng, but Xuan Kong Zi and Tian Lei Zi are still at the peak of Dou Zun. In the eyes of a Dou Sheng, they are still ants.

The one who faced the three giants of the Pill Tower back then was not the real Soul Hall Master, but only a wisp of his soul that was attached to a Soul Hall expert and fought against them. Even so, the three giants of the Pill Tower suffered a crushing defeat.

If it weren't for the estimation of the Pill Tower Ancestor, Xiao Jue's teacher would probably have been killed by Hun Miesheng with a single palm strike, and then his soul would have been extracted and refined into a mass of soul essence.

Long ago, Hun Miesheng massacred dozens of sects in one night. That night, blood flowed like rivers and corpses littered the fields. Five powerful individuals who had reached the level of two-star Dou Sheng perished at his hands, earning the Soul Palace Master a fearsome reputation and making the Soul Palace the overlord of Zhongzhou in name only.

Therefore, even the Pill Tower dared not easily confront the Soul Palace. Soul Extinction once had a fearsome reputation that made the entire Central Continent tremble with fear. Later, due to long-term seclusion, he faded from people's sight, but his fearsome reputation has not diminished.

Today, Long Yan arrived at the headquarters of the Soul Palace, outside the Heavenly Hall in the Heavenly Gang Hall!

The latest novel is first published here!

The Soul Palace's Heavenly Palace is located in Blood Demon Valley, which is the border between Central Continent and the southern part of the continent, and also the border with the Beast Domain. It is said to be the place where a Dou Di fell, and the blood and evil spirits inside are so strong that ordinary people cannot survive. Naturally, no one would have thought that the Soul Palace would place its headquarters here.

Unlike the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere within the Soul Clan, the Soul Palace was indeed gloomy and terrifying, whether it was the Earthly Fiend Palace or the Heavenly Gang Palace.

"call out!"

Suddenly, the silent sky above Blood Demon Valley was broken by the sound of wind breaking. A flash of light appeared, and a figure emerged from a mountain peak deep in the valley.

Long Yan's gaze was fixed on the deepest part of the mountain range, the space hidden behind the tall, blood-red trees, where a slight distortion was faintly visible.

Within the slightly distorted space lay a vast expanse of blood-red land. Occasionally, glimpses of crimson mist would appear on the surface of the land, revealing fragments of broken bones, exuding an eerie and chilling aura.

At the heart of this vast region, a colossal black palace stood silently, like an ancient beast crouching on the ground. A sinister and terrifying aura slowly permeated the sealed space.

Within the colossal black palace, countless extremely thick black chains extended out and plunged deep into the ground. Above each chain, a wisp of black mist swirled, vaguely coalescing into a human shape.

The chains occasionally shimmered with light before disappearing into the black mist, making it even more solid.

The entire area was unusually quiet, with an eerie atmosphere that gave people a chilling feeling.
