98: Hunxuzi invites you, with multiple surprises

"You really know?" Yao Chen blurted out, looking somewhat astonished.

Yao Tianhuo, who was next to him, noticed Yao Chen's reaction and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Yao Chen said lightly, "This guy spent over a year collecting six different Heavenly Flames."

Although one of them was provided by him, it was still quite exaggerated.

"Only one year?" Yao Tianhuo suddenly turned his head, staring wide-eyed at Soul Cang.

Back then, when he met Soul Cang at the bottom of the tower, he discovered that he possessed a Heavenly Flame, but he didn't know how he acquired it, assuming it was through his elders.

But now, looking at Soul Cang's status within the Soul Clan, it seemed he didn't have the ability to command them.

Under these circumstances, Soul Cang managed to obtain so many Heavenly Flames in such a short time.

He even knew the location of the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire he just mentioned?

Yao Tianhuo immediately understood Yao Chen's feelings from earlier.

Because he, too, had put in a lot of effort searching for Heavenly Flames to maximize the power of the Five-rounds Separating Fire Formation, eventually almost dying in the process.

Soul Cang took in their reactions, smiling faintly. This was the advantage of knowing the plot.

He then informed them of the location of the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire.

"It's actually in the Dan Tower." Yao Tianhuo had fallen at the bottom of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower a long time ago and wasn't particularly aware of these things.

"It's a pity, I almost had a chance to go there back then, if only..." Yao Chen's expression darkened.

At that time, he was already a renowned Venerable Yao on the Dou Qi Continent, so receiving an invitation from the Dan Tower was not a rare occurrence.

However, he was ambushed by his disciple at that time and then wandered from place to place.

Yao Tianhuo said, "Kid, according to you, the top floor of the Dan Tower isn't that easy to access. They generally only allow Alchemists with sufficient alchemy skills to go up. You can't use force or other methods against the Dan Tower."

The Dan Tower, even on the entire Dou Qi Continent, was an extremely prominent organization, a sacred place in the hearts of all Alchemists.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yao Tianhuo felt two strange gazes sweep over him.

He asked curiously, "What? Did this old man say something wrong?"

"Yes." Yao Chen nodded, "You might not know, but this kid was already a seventh-grade Alchemist before. With his talent, after all this time, he's probably an eighth-grade by now."

Towards the end, Yao Chen's tone became somewhat emotional.

He had never seen such a monstrous person, even in their Medicine Clan, it was rare to encounter someone whose strength and alchemy skills improved so rapidly.

The Dou Qi Continent did not lack Alchemists, nor did it lack top-tier or peak Alchemists.

But at Soul Cang's age, with his strength, there was a definite lack! A severe lack!

Yao Tianhuo seemed to have crashed, his gaze blank: "You're an Alchemist too?"

All this time, he had never seen Soul Cang demonstrate it, and even the materials needed for Xiao Yan to devour the Heavenly Flame were personally refined by Yao Chen.

As a result, Yao Tianhuo hadn't considered this, thinking that Soul Cang collecting Heavenly Flames might just be a hobby, or perhaps he was collecting them for his so-called second brother, Xiao Yan.

"Cough, cough, not an eighth-grade." Clearing his throat, Soul Cang watched the two of them visibly relax, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I should have the strength of a ninth-grade now, but there are still flaws in my soul power, so I can only exert an eighth-grade level."

Although soul power is not as detailed as Dou Qi in its divisions, it also has realms.

They are, in order: Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, Heaven Realm, and Emperor Realm.

And to become a ninth-grade Alchemist, in addition to one's own strength, Heaven Realm soul is the minimum standard.

Yao Tianhuo seemed heartbroken and directly retreated into the ring.

He recalled how he had proudly displayed his self-created Five Round Li Fire Method when facing Soul Cang.

Now he realized that this was probably all he had to show off.

Yao Chen was shocked for a while before recovering, sighing, "Soul power is not easy to improve. There are almost no methods to increase soul power in the world."

"Have you forgotten what this place is?" Soul Cang smiled mysteriously at Yao Chen.

Soul... Soul Hall! Oh right, the Soul Hall collects so much soul power, they must have special methods.

Yao Chen instantly realized. In fact, he had run into the Soul Hall's lair, and as a soul body at that.

Next, Soul Cang discussed some specific details about the Dan Tower, and then had a concrete plan for the arrangements below.

Obtain the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire and make up for his own shortcomings.

In the evening, someone came to the door. Soul Cang heard the commotion and stopped his cultivation.

After coming out, the other party went straight to the point: "Soul Cang, Elder Soul Void Son wants to see you."

"See me?" Soul Cang was very surprised and followed behind the other party.

Within the Soul Clan, Soul Void Son held a very high position, even surpassing the Hall Master, Soul Destruction.

Because he was currently the strongest Alchemist in the Soul Clan.

Of course, this excluded Void Swallowing Flame.

Others might not know, but Soul Cang knew that Void Swallowing Flame also had some skill in alchemy.

As the second-ranked Heavenly Flame in the world, Void Swallowing Flame was not only powerful but also strong in other aspects.

Soul Void Son was a middle-aged man with a faint smile on his face, looking unthreatening.

"Soul Cang greets Elder. I heard you were looking for me?" Soul Cang asked after bowing, a puzzled expression on his face.

Soul Void Son nodded slightly: "Your fire control ability is very good. If I remember correctly, you said you had received a legacy before. How is your alchemy level now?"

This work is organized and uploaded by ~~

"Refining eighth-grade is not a problem. For ninth-grade, I always feel like something is missing." Soul Cang didn't tell the truth because he wasn't sure of this guy's intentions.

Suddenly, an inexplicable pressure assailed Soul Cang.

Heavy as a mountain, sharp as a needle!

It was soul power!

Soul Cang didn't understand why and focused on resisting, but after resisting for less than a few seconds, his face turned pale, sweat appeared on his forehead, and a hint of pain flashed across his face.

Even when fighting against Soul Chen and Soul Fury before, Soul Cang had never shown such a weak state.

And this was not Soul Cang faking it.

"Not bad, with soul power reaching the Spirit Realm, refining eighth-grade is indeed no problem." Soul Void Son withdrew his power and nodded in satisfaction.

Soul Cang exhaled, his expression lightening, and he feigned confusion, asking relevant questions.

Soul Void Son also didn't put on airs and explained seriously to him.

After chatting for a while, Soul Cang realized that the other party seemed to genuinely see his potential in alchemy, guiding him like an elder guiding a junior.

This gave Soul Cang some pleasant surprises, and at the same time, he vaguely guessed why Soul Chen had let him leave so quickly.

Elder Soul Void Son must have intervened!

But why would he help him? Because of his potential in alchemy?

A doubt flashed through Soul Cang's mind. Before leaving, he asked Soul Void Son, "Elder, is there any way to quickly raise my soul realm to the Heaven Realm?"

"What do you want to do by reaching the Heaven Realm?" Soul Void Son asked back instead of answering.

Soul Cang said without hesitation: "To answer Elder, I want to go to the Dan Tower to prove that not everyone has this opportunity. I don't want to miss this chance to make a name for myself. I want all Alchemists on the entire Dou Qi Continent to know me, to know a ninth-grade Alchemist, Soul Cang, in his early twenties."

"Dan Tower..." A complex look flashed in Soul Void Son's eyes, and he gained a bit more trust in Soul Cang's idea.

It was not strange for a young man to be wild and ambitious.

And the Dan Tower was the most sacred place in the hearts of Alchemists. If he had this opportunity and strength at Soul Cang's age, he would definitely want to show off as well.

"That's a good idea." Soul Void Son smiled, then changed the subject, "I heard that your relationship with Soul Fury is not good. How about this, I'll give you an opportunity. If you can defeat him at this clan meeting, I will apply to the patriarch for a soul crystal for you, allowing you to advance to the Heaven Realm soul within a year."

"Elder, you..." Soul Cang hadn't expected the surprise to come so suddenly, but he was a little puzzled.

Soul Void Son said frankly, "I once had a conflict with Soul Fury's ancestor. I lost. If you can help me win against him, I can give you some benefits."

It's probably not that simple... Soul Cang didn't believe there was such a thing as a free lunch in the world.

He pondered for two seconds, then respectfully knelt down: "Soul Cang wishes to become Elder's disciple. Please accept this disciple, Elder."

At this moment, a genuine smile finally appeared in Soul Void Son's eyes.

"From now on, do as you please in the Soul Clan. Even your father, as long as it's not too excessive, this old man can protect you." Soul Void Son said lightly.

"Thank you, Master." Soul Cang said loudly, his voice filled with joy.

He had a backer in the Soul Clan now!

However, defeating Soul Fury would not be an easy task...
