119: Go to San Dan City

Chapter 119: Heading to Saint Dan City

Clang!

Soul Lin Hua stood up abruptly, her body hitting the table with a sound. Ignoring the pain, she quickly ran to Soul Cang.

“You child, what have you been cultivating? It’s already been a year.” Soul Lin Hua circled Soul Cang, her eyes filled with concern as she examined him.

Soul Cang pressed his mother back to the table. He walked to Yun Yun and sat down opposite her, smiling, “It’s fine. With my strength, let alone a year, I’d be fine even if I didn’t eat or drink for several years.”

Yun Yun proactively got up to fetch bowls and chopsticks, placing them in front of Soul Cang.

At the dinner table, with Soul Cang’s appearance, Yun Yun quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Normally, Yun Yun could find an excuse to cultivate at other times, but she couldn’t avoid the dinner table.

Although she didn’t need to eat every day, seeing Soul Lin Hua eat alone made her feel guilty.

Dinner lasted quite a while. Soul Cang mostly remained silent, quietly listening to his mother’s chatter.

It wasn’t until the dishes on the table were empty that Soul Cang slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks.

Yun Yun got up to clean, and Soul Lin Hua wanted to help, but Soul Cang stopped her.

Soul Lin Hua looked at him in confusion. Soul Cang said, “Mother, I need to go out for a while.”

“Going out again?” Soul Lin Hua’s eyes showed deep reluctance. The last time Soul Cang said he was going out, he was gone for two years.

Soul Cang nodded with a hint of helplessness, “Mm.”

“Alright.” Soul Lin Hua was reluctant, but she didn’t make a fuss to keep him. She knew in her heart that her son’s repeated departures were all to become stronger.

Previously, after Soul Fury was defeated by Soul Cang and woke up, he immediately declared that he would definitely challenge Soul Cang in the future to avenge his shame.

To motivate himself, Soul Fury even refused the suggestion to restore his face, preferring to keep an ugly, pockmarked face.

Yun Yun heard the conversation between mother and son. As she cleaned, she deliberately moved at a very slow pace, trying to give them more time to talk.

Finally, Soul Cang still left, and he took Yun Yun with him. She didn’t belong to the Soul Realm, so there was no reason for her to stay there.

...

Central Plains.

“If you want to return to the Yun Lan Sect, I can send you back first,” Soul Cang said to Yun Yun.

Not far from the two was a city.

Yun Yun shook her head, “I’ll follow you.”

“No.” Soul Cang refused her. Seeing Yun Yun’s mouth slightly open, ready to speak, he preempted her, “Don’t think about using my second brother to convince me, it’s useless.”

The place he was going next was the Dan Tower, and if things went wrong, a battle might occur.

One should know that his name contained the character “Soul”!

Soul Cang had some confidence, but he couldn’t guarantee Yun Yun’s safety.

Unexpectedly, Soul Cang was so resolute, Yun Yun was stunned.

I took care of your mother for a year, and this is how you treat me? Am I, a great beauty, really not as good as Xiao Yan?

Soul Cang didn’t speak, quietly looking at her.

After a long while, Yun Yun lowered her head, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes, and said, “I want to wander around the Central Plains. The Gama Empire… if I want to go back, I’ll go back by myself, you don’t need to send me.”

“Alright,” Soul Cang agreed.

Before leaving, Yun Yun heard Soul Cang call out to her, then he handed her a jade slip and told her to keep it safe.

If she encountered trouble in the Central Plains, she could speak into the jade slip, and if he could hear it, he would rush over to help.

Yun Yun stared at the jade slip for a long time. When she came back to her senses, Soul Cang’s figure was no longer around. She clutched the jade slip and also walked towards the city.

...

Behind the clouds high in the sky, Soul Cang watched Yun Yun enter the city before he turned and left.

“I can finally come out!”

“I was so stifled, how long has it been?”

A flash of light appeared on Soul Cang’s rings one after another, and then Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo emerged, expressing their resentful emotions.

“Huh, we’ve left the Soul Realm?” Yao Chen looked around in surprise.

Yao Tianhuo also glanced around, “Your Soul Realm has risen to the Heavenly Realm, are you going to the Dan Tower?”

Soul Cang said indifferently, “A year has passed, there’s no need to drag it out any longer.”

“The Soul Clan truly lives up to the character ‘Soul’. To raise one’s Soul Realm from ‘Spirit’ to ‘Heaven’ in a year is truly remarkable,” Yao Chen’s eyes flashed with envy.

Soul Cang sighed, “This also comes at a price, alright? If I hadn’t defeated Soul Fury, I wouldn’t have had such a good thing.”

Yao Chen laughed, “Some people might not even improve their soul power in their entire lives. The fact that your Soul Clan has such methods is already very exaggerated.”

Because Yao Chen was once a famous Alchemist and knew many people, yet true methods to enhance soul power were still very few.

This alone was enough to show the terrifying nature of the Soul Clan.

Yao Tianhuo asked, “Soul Cang, are you planning to go directly to the Dan Tower?”

“Mm.” Soul Cang nodded slightly and descended towards a city in front of him.

The two souls consciously re-entered the rings. After entering the city, Soul Cang walked directly towards the spatial passage.

This work is organized and uploaded by ~ ~

Because the Dan Tower is located in the central area of the Central Plains, surrounded by a cluster of cities, named Saint Dan City.

To reach it, even using a spatial wormhole, could take half a month, or even a full month.

Spatial wormholes could be ridden by anyone with enough money.

Money, to Soul Cang, was just a number; he was never short of it.

Boarding the spatial ship, Soul Cang began his half-month journey.

During this period, he stayed alone in his room, undisturbed. He cultivated and stabilized his strength, while also discussing matters concerning the Dan Tower with Yao Chen.

Although Yao Tianhuo was not an Alchemist, he had some knowledge of related topics and occasionally interjected a few words.

Aside from the contents of his memory, Soul Cang also learned a lot of information.

For example, the Dan Gathering selection in Dan City was divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human levels, meaning three rounds of screening. The higher the level, the greater the difficulty and the more generous the rewards.

To participate in the final competition, one had to pass the Heavenly-level Alchemist assessment, and only then could the qualified individuals compete together.

Regarding Yao Tianhuo’s complaint about no age limit, Soul Cang remained very calm. Alchemy also heavily tested talent; it wasn’t necessarily that the older one was, the more powerful they were.

I possess the inheritance of an Emperor-grade Alchemist, now I have a Heavenly Realm soul, and the blessing of a Fire Spirit that surpasses exotic flames. Even the Elders from the Dan Tower might not necessarily be able to defeat me.

Soul Cang was full of confidence.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. The spatial ship jolted, and the surrounding environment finally became vibrant and colorful. The familiar orange sunlight streamed into the room through the window crack.

A gentle breeze, as the door was pulled open, met Soul Cang, causing his clothes to sway with the wind.

Outside the spatial ship, people stood packed together, many even crowded at the edges, gazing at the majestic city below.

Saint Dan City, also simply called Dan City, was a sacred place in the hearts of Alchemists.

Directly below was a plaza entirely constructed from crimson rock, part of Saint Dan City’s outer city, specifically used for parking spatial ships.

The crimson plaza was currently overflowing with people, noisy and bustling.

Soul Cang, feeling a bit annoyed by the crowd, saw people flying out from other spatial ships. He didn’t wait for the spatial ship to land and stepped into the air to leave.

The surrounding people noticed that Soul Cang could walk in the void and let out small exclamations.

They didn’t know Soul Cang’s specific strength, but even such a young Dou Zong was very powerful and worthy of an exclamation.

Landing below, Soul Cang walked with the crowd, preparing to first visit the Alchemist assessment location.

The Dan Gathering was like a university. To participate, Soul Cang first had to obtain his Alchemist qualification, to demonstrate his strength first.

Along the way, people around him were enthusiastically chatting, and occasionally he could see vendors selling medicinal ingredients.

Finally arriving at the entrance, Soul Cang was about to enter when Yao Chen’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind: “Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire?!”

As if sensing something, Soul Cang stopped and looked up at the sky.
