Chapter 145: Spirit Fusion Pill

    ?

    Xiao Yan furrowed his brows as he stared at the item on the table. When his Spiritual Strength swept over the black, broken jade fragment, he was puzzled to find that even his Spiritual

    Strength couldn''t penetrate it to see what was inside.

    ''Could this be some kind of tool for storing spiritual information? But why can''t even my Spiritual Strength pass through it?''No?v(el)B\\jnn

    With his current level of Spiritual Strength, ordinary soul jade pieces could be easily penetrated by him to directly peer into their contents.

    He had given emergency communication jade pieces of this type to Qing Lin and his two elder brothers.

    Generally, aside from being used to send spiritual signals, these soul jade pieces could also store spiritual information such as Qi Methods and Dou Techniques.

    Learning Qi Methods and Dou Skills normally required dedicating time to study and comprehend them oneself. However, soul jade pieces could directly transmit the information into one''s soul via Spiritual Strength. It was akin to sudden enlightenment. This allowed the learner to skip the step of assimilation and comprehension.

    Therefore, this kind of soul jade piece was extremely precious.

    "Sir, what can I help you with?" The stall owner asked curiously, noticing that Xiao Yan had been standing in front of his stall for quite some time.

    Interrupted from his thoughts, Xiao Yan glanced at the man in front of him and smiled as he picked up the black jade fragment. "Boss, how much are you selling this jade piece for?"

    The jade piece didn''t feel smooth in his hand. Instead, it was covered with tiny granules and appeared as if the material was not very good. Moreover, faint cracks were visible on its surface, and there was even sand and dirt lodged in the crevices.

    With a simple touch, Xiao Yan could tell that this was likely excavated from some ruins or dug out from the soil.

    The man''s eyes lit up immediately; Xiao Yan was the first person all morning to inquire about prices.

    "Um... I... I''d like to trade for a tier 3 medicinal pill to study and improve my alchemy skills. My talent in alchemy isn''t very good; despite practicing for so many years, I''m still just an alchemy apprentice," the man said with an embarrassed laugh.

    Xiao Yan smiled slightly and retrieved three pills from his storage ring: "Here are three types of medicinal pills, all for healing injuries. They are a tier 1 Blood Clotting Powder, a tier 2 Body Recovery Pill, and a tier 3 Minor Blood Replenishing Pill. This should be enough for you to study and learn from, right?"

    The receptionist''s face changed drastically when she saw the condensed real fire. She exclaimed in shock, "Real fire! Could it be that you are a 4th-tier alchemist?!"

    Some passing alchemists glanced over curiously when they heard the receptionist''s exclamation.

    "A 4th-tier alchemist! Where?!"

    "You''re saying this seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy is a 4th-tier alchemist? You''ve got to be kidding."

    "If you''re going to lie, at least make it more believable. Even if he started practicing alchemy in his mother''s womb, it''s impossible for him to be at tier 4."

    Xiao Yan shrugged, not bothering to explain further, and smiled. "Can I have the handbook

    now?"

    The receptionist''s beautiful eyes flashed with a strange color. Regardless of whether Xiao Yan was truly a 4th-tier alchemist or not, being able to condense real fire meant his tier was definitely not low.

    Xiao Yan accepted the handbook and noticed that it had an address written on it, along with a lipstick kiss mark. Glancing at the bashful expression of the girl in front of him, he smiled wryly and shook his head.

    With a sweep of his black flame, he swiftly erased the marks before daring to step out of the Alchemist Association.

    If Old Ling caught wind of this and word got back to Xun Er, there would be hell to pay. As Xiao Yan walked back to the Nalan Mansion, he read through the rules in the handbook. The regulations of the Alchemist Grand Meeting were quite simple. Alchemists under the age of thirty could participate; the first round was the preliminary selection, followed by the second round of elimination matches, and the third round would determine the champion.

    In addition to becoming an honorary elder of the Alchemist Association, the champion would be rewarded with a tier 6 pill recipe-the Spirit Fusion Pill.

    "The Spirit Fusion Pill can fuse the soul with the body, rapidly restore Spiritual Strength, and even heal previous soul injuries? That''s quite an exceptional pill recipe, capable of restoring

    Spiritual Strength and repairing soul damage."

    Just as Xiao Yan was contemplating whether to participate in the competition to obtain this pill recipe, a cold voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

    "Boy, get your hands on that Spirit Fusion Pill Recipe for me, and I''ll spare your life in the

    future!"
