Holy Spirit Cult Branch

The middle-aged man took back the bottle from his hand, moved closer to Chen Yuan, and spoke with a tone full of regret.

"Young man, you should know that External Beast Martial Soul like yours is Trash Martial Soul. You can't possibly be as lucky as those legendary Grandmaster."

"And judging from your appearance, you must be around eighteen years old, right?"

"Yes, I'm already nineteen years old, and my Soul Power is only at level seven."

Because of the existence of Soul Power and martial soul, younger Soul Master will look several years older than they appear, so when Chen Yuan said he was nineteen years old, the middle-aged man had no doubts.

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard Chen Yuan say that his Soul Power was only level seven.

Level 7 Soul Power isn't a lot, but it's not a little either. If you can't become Soul Master, these levels of Soul Power are completely useless.

"I just asked, brother. You also want to change your fate, why not join our Holy Church? I guarantee you'll break through to level ten this year."

"We can even hunt down a Hundred-Year Soul Beast for you to use as your Soul Ring, how about that?"

"Brother, your sudden statement makes me suspicious. Are you some kind of illegal organization? I don't even know your name."

"My Zhao Shan. We are all ordinary people like you. My Innate Soul Power is only level three, but look at my cultivation level now, it's already level twenty-four."

As he spoke, Zhao Shan released two Soul Ring, one white and one yellow, to prove that he was not lying.

"When I first joined the Holy Church, I was only level twelve, which was about two years ago. Look how fast I've improved."

"If you're willing, come to this address tomorrow night, and I'll take you into the sect. This thing is called the Blood Spirit Pill; it can increase your cultivation speed. I guarantee you'll like that cultivation speed after taking it just once."

After handing Chen Yuan a note and the small bottle, the two left decisively without saying another word.

They seemed very confident in this pill and weren't worried at all that Chen Yuan wouldn't join.

I didn't expect to gain so much from this trip. As expected, the fact that the External Beast Martial Soul is Trash Martial Soul has become a consensus among some knowledgeable people because of Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiao Yuan, what do we do with Gulu?"

"What else can we do? First, we need to find out if this so-called holy religion is actually Holy Spirit Cult, and then we'll take it down."

The fact that the Holy Spirit Cult could establish a branch in a place like Jialing Pass suggests that the Holy Spirit Cult's infiltration of the Douluo Continent is probably more serious than Chen Yuan imagined.

Upon arriving at the massive fortress of Jialing Pass, Chen Yuan found a decent hotel, booked a room, and then took out the pill.

The pills were poured into a plate; their blood-red color looked odd, creating a stark contrast with the pristine white porcelain plate.

As Chen Yuan moved closer, he could also smell a bloody odor.

Knowledge about elixirs is still very limited on the Douluo Continent. Chen Yuan hadn't seen any books related to alchemy at the Shrek Academy, only illustrations of elixirs like the Mystic Water Pill, Soul Ascension Pill, and Black Tortoise Divine Pill.

The Medicine Chapter I saw in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well only recorded some simple medicine refining techniques, as well as pills like the Universe Creation Pill, which was a hodgepodge of ingredients.

Chen Yuan had absolutely no clue about the pill in front of him.

This is where the all-powerful Electrolux comes in.

Chen Yuan Chen Yuan this thought, Electrolux's voice appeared in his ear.

"I don't recognize this pill, but its ingredients are human essence and blood, along with some addictive poisonous herbs. Its effect is probably to temporarily boost one's talent, but long-term use will damage one's spirit, turning them into a walking corpse."

"Old Yi, haven't you explained its efficacy and side effects very clearly?"

"That's because the cultivation system in your world is too underdeveloped."

Okay, Chen Yuan admits that the system related to the Douluo Continent is indeed barren, especially the knowledge of elixirs in the Original Three Kingdoms of Douluo.

Perhaps in the Sun Moon Empire, where drug-based cultivation is the norm, their research on elixirs would be more in-depth.

Crush the pill; its hard outer shell shattered, and the viscous liquid inside seeped out, covering Chen Yuan's hands.

This elixir has a filling inside.

That evening, Chen Yuan changed into a set of night clothes and flew with Dali Gu toward the address on the note.

The address is a house with a yard in the city, a common type of house in this area, and it's not particularly eye-catching.

The only difference is that the front door of this house is black.

Upon arriving near the house, Chen Yuan tentatively probed it with his Spiritual Power.

A tall, thin man wearing a black hood that only revealed his eyes walked from one end of the street. His aura was not weak; he was at least at the Soul Ancestor level.

The man arrived at the gate of the courtyard, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, knocking four times in total, with three short knocks and one long knock.

"May Holy Light Illumination upon the earth, and may the Holy Spirit descend upon humanity."

After saying this, the door quietly opened a crack, and the man turned around to look around warily before slipping through the crack.

After hearing that Holy Spirit Cult, Chen Yuan was certain that the courtyard before him was a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, the man named Zhao Shan who gave him the note today had low cultivation and was clearly not a high-ranking member of this branch. How could he know the exact location of the branch?

Or is this just one of the branches of the Jialing Pass?

Zhao Shan said he would help Chen Yuan complete his initiation into the church tomorrow. So, is tomorrow night a time for a group activity of the Holy Spirit Cult, or a private one?

It looks like we can't destroy this Holy Spirit Cult tonight; let's wait until tomorrow night.

After resting at the hotel for the night, Chen Yuan Chen Yuan no interest in going out the next day. He stayed in the hotel to cultivate until the streets were almost quiet before heading towards the courtyard, just like the night before.

However, this time Chen Yuan did not hide his identity and walked openly down the street.

Since the development of Soul Tool in the Original Three Kingdoms of Douluo was not significant, and civilian Soul Tool were nowhere to be seen, the streets were deserted at night.

There were only some lanterns hanging on some pillars along the road for lighting, so visibility wasn't very good at night, especially tonight when there was no moon or stars.

When we arrived near that courtyard, besides the middle-aged man Zhao Shan whom we had seen yesterday, there were several other people, all of whom looked to be at least twenty years old.

These people all possess Soul Power, but the highest level is only around level twelve or thirteen, and the lowest is only level four.

Zhao Shan was overjoyed to see Chen Yuan arrive and immediately went forward to greet him.

"Alright, young man, you're the last one here. We've been waiting for you for ages. How was that Blood Spirit Pill? Did your cultivation speed increase by leaps and bounds?"

Chen Yuan remained silent, only nodding repeatedly. He knew that saying too much would only lead to mistakes, so it was best not to say too much.

Seeing that Chen Yuan remained silent, Zhao Shan realized he had made a fool of himself, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

Following the same procedure and steps, Zhao Shan lightly knocked on the courtyard door four times—three long knocks and one short knock—before reciting the doctrines of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Holy Servant, I've brought you fresh blood vegetables."

After Zhao Shan finished speaking, the courtyard gate opened wide, and two people dressed in white with their faces covered came out. They counted the number of people, including Chen Yuan, making a total of five.

One of the men in white gestured for Zhao Shan to come with him, while the other man in white approached Chen Yuan and the others, carefully sensing their cultivation levels.

Low-level Soul Master cannot hide their cultivation level from high-level Soul Master unless they have some special method.

The white-robed man before them was at least Soul Ancestor, more than thirty levels higher than everyone else except Chen Yuan, so he was naturally able to detect everyone's situation.

After confirming that everyone possessed Soul Power, a dazed voice suddenly appeared in Chen Yuan's ear. Apart from him, everyone else's eyes became lifeless, and they looked dazed and confused.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan followed suit and became like a walking corpse.

Upon entering the courtyard, which wasn't very large, the door was open, and the man in white led several people inside.

Upon entering, they saw a dark hole in the ground. Entering it, they found themselves in a straight passageway. After walking about fifty meters along the passageway, the man in white led them to a large gate.

May the Holy Emperor live ten thousand years, and may the Holy Maiden's celestial beauty remain forever.

A saintess? Aren't Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao both at Shrek? How come the Holy Spirit Cult has a saintess?

Chen Yuan was somewhat puzzled, but now was not the time to figure these things out.

Upon hearing the slogan, the gatekeeper nodded, opened the gate, and stepped aside to make way.

Upon entering a spacious hall spanning several hundred square meters, the atmosphere was incredibly eerie and sinister. In the center stood a red fountain, spewing out blood.

A huge sphere, three or four meters in size, hung in mid-air, with countless dark shadows floating inside.

The man in white approached the innermost table behind the fountain and bowed to the person sitting at the table.

"Holy Servant Number One greets His Holiness the Holy Spirit."

"Get up, is this all the blood vegetables for today?"

"Yes, they all possess Soul Power, so please rest assured, Holy Spirit."

The Holy Spirit put down his wine cup and came before Chen Yuan and the others, looking them over with obvious satisfaction.

"People with Soul Power are much harder to find than those Soul Power. It looks like we can raise them for a while longer. This batch of blood vegetables is of pretty good quality."

Six Soul Ring appeared on the Holy Spirit's body: two yellow, two purple, and two black. His two canine teeth continued to grow longer, until they were about ten centimeters longer than his chin before they stopped growing.

Boom!

The servant's vision blurred, and he heard a loud bang beside him. The Holy Spirit, who had been standing about two meters in front of him, was gone, replaced by a young man.

The Holy Spirit, Six-Ring Soul Emperor, lay on the ground like a dead dog, unresponsive even with rubble pressing down on him.

The holy servant was shocked. This young man was one of the people he had just brought in, but he had clearly checked him and found that the man was just physically strong but didn't have much Soul Power!

Just as the four Soul Ring— white, yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared on his body, a hand blocked his vision, and then a sharp pain shot through the back of his head.

Click!

In that instant, all the bones in his body shattered. In the final moments of his life, the servant's eyes were about to bulge out of their sockets, his body was completely immobile, and his vocal cords could only produce muffled sounds.

What he saw in the final moments of his life was a ball of fire, a golden-red flame.
