The Dan Clan-Take Dan Chen as a Disciple? A Message from the Soul Spirit Emperor
The Dan Clan is the head of the five major families in the Pill Region.
As a family with considerable influence throughout the Central Plains, the most outstanding disciple of the Dan Clan in this generation is Dan Xuan.
At just nineteen years old, he had already passed the Seventh-Rank Alchemist examination and become a Seventh Tier beginner Alchemist.
However, only the Dan Clan knew the truth.
Dan Xuan is only the most outstanding disciple on the surface.
The true number one genius recognized by everyone is a girl named Dan Chen.
The reason why Dan Chen is not well-known and even unknown to outsiders is entirely due to his special physique.
Her Heaven-Swallowing Talent for cultivation was ordinary, but she could automatically absorb the surrounding Soul Power, an absorption that even she herself could not control.
Moreover, this Heaven-Swallowing Talent prevents her from interacting with others like normal people; otherwise, her suction would draw in the Soul Power of others as well.
Without exception, from birth.
Unable to contact people, and with her Soul Power far exceeding that of her physical body, her family used many Medicinal Herbs and precious treasures to keep her body from collapsing, but they could not change the fact that she was physically weak.
Over time, she rarely went out.
If Dan Xuan hadn't successfully passed the assessment for Seventh Tier beginner Alchemist today, she wouldn't have wanted to go out either.
Little did she expect that she would encounter such a special being.
Dan Chen looked at Xiao Yan's back and was certain of her feelings.
In that fleeting moment as they brushed past each other, she could clearly sense that her Heaven-Swallowing Talent for constantly absorbing Soul Power had suddenly disappeared... no, more accurately, it had been suppressed.
That person's soul essence, or rather Soul Talent, has become so powerful that it makes her Heaven-Swallowing Talent fearful!
Of course, whether her Heaven-Swallowing Talent was strong or not didn't matter, but she didn't want to lose the feeling of suddenly feeling lighter and less burdened by no longer needing to absorb Soul Power!
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yan asked.
He didn't realize that he was so charming that he could attract girls even while wearing a mask.
Dan Chen was still a little timid in front of strangers. She mustered her courage and walked up to Xiao Yan, saying, "You... hello."
"Excuse me, can you be with me?"
Xiao Yan:?
Dan Xuan:!
Dan Xuan's eyes widened, and he immediately stepped forward to Dan Chen, saying, "Chen'er, what are you saying!"
Dan Chen realized how misunderstood her words were, and a blush rose to her cheeks as she quietly explained to Dan Xuan.
Dan Xuan listened to Dan Chen's explanation, his expression gradually changed from initial astonishment to shock, and finally to seriousness.
With a serious expression, he said to Xiao Yan, "Sir, this is my cousin Dan Chen, and my name is Dan Xuan. We are both members of the Dan Clan."
"Chen'er rarely goes out, so please don't misunderstand if she expressed something wrong."
"Also, sir, could you please come to the Dan Clan with us? I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Seemingly feeling that this lacked sincerity, Dan Xuan gritted his teeth and directly took out a Tier 6 Medicinal Pill from his Storage Ring.
"This Tier 6 Medicinal Pill can be considered a gift."
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the Tier 6 Medicinal Pill. To him now, this thing was no better than a candy, but he could definitely give it to Zi Yan as a candy.
Thinking that he was going to use the Dan Clan's Space Wormhole to go to Holy Pill City anyway, Xiao Yan nodded.
Given the strength of the Dan Clan, they could not possibly possess Semi-Saint expert at most, posing no threat to him.
Xiao Yan casually put away the Tier 6 Medicinal Pill and said in a nonchalant tone, "Let's go."
Dan Xuan nodded slightly, having formed a certain assessment of the person before him.
He wasn't excited at all about getting the Tier 6 Medicinal Pill; there wasn't even a hint of joy in his voice. It wasn't that he didn't care at all, but he certainly didn't take it seriously.
This alone is enough to tell that its strength or the forces behind it are not simple.
After traveling for a while, they arrived at the Dan Clan in the center of Pill City, where Xiao Yan was invited into the reception room.
Dan Xuan then took Dan Chen away to inform the clan leader of the situation.
After leaving Xiao Yan's side, Dan Chen's expression turned deathly pale almost instantly.
Its Heaven-Swallowing Talent operate on their own, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the burden on its body gradually increases accordingly.
"It's starting again..." Dan Chen muttered to herself, her eyes lowered, looking like a pitiful little bullied person.
Xiao Yan waited for a while in the reception room.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man led Dan Xuan and Dan Chen in.
The middle-aged man was dressed simply, with the Dan Clan crest tattooed on his chest.
Dan Xuan, standing beside him, introduced, "Sir, this is Dan Hong, the head of our Dan Clan."
"Oh, hello, Patriarch Dan Clan." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, sizing up Dan Hong.
With Dou Venerate cultivation level and Soul Power reaching the Spirit Realm, there's a high probability he's an Eighth-Rank Alchemist, but definitely the lowest rank.
Xiao Yan had already made up his mind.
"So you're the one who can suppress Chen'er's Heaven-Swallowing Talent? What should I call you?" Dan Hong frowned slightly, feeling that Xiao Yan didn't seem to take him seriously, and his attitude wasn't as obsequious as the people he usually encountered.
"Xiao... Yan Xiao." Xiao Yan did not reveal his real name.
Dan Hong checked in his mind to make sure he hadn't heard of him, but he didn't underestimate him because of that. He couldn't sense Xiao Yan's cultivation level and soul realm, which meant that Xiao Yan was definitely not simple.
He sat down facing Xiao Yan and explained Dan Chen's situation, which mainly involved her special physique that allowed her to absorb Soul Power.
Dan Hong's request was. "Mr. Yan Xiao, would you be willing to serve as a guest elder in my Dan Clan? All I need to do is allow Chen'er to stay by your side, suppress her Heaven-Swallowing Talent, and let her improve her physique first."
"In exchange, you can freely browse all of our Dan Clan's Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, and medicinal formulas, except for the most core ones."
"If you are Alchemist, we will also provide Medicinal Herbs to help you quickly improve your alchemy skills."
The conditions offered by Dan Hong were very good, which shows how much he valued Dan Chen.
but...
"I only want to use the Dan Clan's Space Wormhole to travel to Holy Pill City; I have no intention of becoming a guest elder," Xiao Yan refused directly.
Dan Chen looked up, a wronged expression appearing on her timid and delicate face.
Dan Hong was surprised that the person in front of him would still refuse so decisively despite his offer, and a look of worry appeared between his brows.
The fact that Dan Chen's Soul Power was increasing had been a long-standing headache for the entire Dan Clan.
At first, the Dan Clan was excited because the most important thing for Alchemist is Soul Power, and Dan Chen was able to absorb and improve it, so his future prospects were limitless.
However, as time went on, the gap between Dan Chen's Soul Power and physical strength gradually widened.
Dan Chen is now eighteen years old, but because she is too weak, she looks only fourteen or fifteen years old.
It's conceivable that once Dan Chen reaches his peak, his body will collapse from the strain, rendering the Dan Clan Dan Clan's massive investment futile and making further progress impossible.
It can be said that Xiao Yan's sudden appearance, which was able to suppress Dan Chen's Heaven-Swallowing Talent, was a timely help.
As long as Dan Chen 'Dan Chen Heaven-Swallowing Talent is suppressed for a few years, and his physical strength is improved, even if his Soul Power increases more slowly in the short term, he can catch up in the future. His upper limit will be frighteningly high, and there will be no need to worry about his body collapsing and dying.
Therefore, when Dan Xuan reported Xiao Yan's special existence, Dan Hong, as the head of the Dan Clan, personally appeared and offered generous terms, showing Xiao Yan the highest respect.
However, Xiao Yan still refused outright.
Could it be that Dan Chen is ultimately destined to suffer physical collapse?
Dan Hong couldn't help but sigh.
However, at that moment, Xiao Yan spoke again.
"Patriarch Dan Clan, I have no interest in being a guest elder, but I am interested in taking Dan Chen as my disciple."
Should we reconsider? I personally believe I am qualified."
The sudden acceptance of a disciple was not Xiao Yan's own doing; rather, it was because the Soul Spirit Emperor, who had been lying dead in his Storage Ring for a long time, had just sent him a message through telepathy.
"Disciple, I know this little girl's constitution. Its essence is to autonomously absorb the Soul Power and spiritual Spirit Qi between heaven and earth. There were many like this in ancient times."
Her constitution has a high potential, but it also makes her prone to physical breakdown and death.
"I suggest you keep her with you, or take her as your apprentice or something."
"I have a Secret Technique that allows people with her constitution to condense the Spirit Qi they absorb into physical crystals, instead of using it to strengthen themselves."
"As for the Spirit Qi Crystal, its effect is simple... it directly enhances Soul Power."
"So, you can decide for yourself what to do."
