Mystic Water Pill, Ma Xiaotao, Want to Learn Alchemy?

"You fellow." Xu Sanshi was a bit exhausted after the battle.

"You fellow, bullying my little junior brother, what else could I do?" Beibei chuckled.

Just like that, Beibei took two Mystic Water Pills from Xu Sanshi and handed them directly to Huo Yuhao.

"Little Yuhao, this item is called a Mystic Water Pill. It is a famous divine pill on the continent that can help you shed your mortal body and exchange your bones. The only things that can rival it are the pills from that mysterious alchemist who appeared a while ago; those pills are incredibly potent. Legend has it that the other party comes from an alchemical lineage, which is why their pills can compare to such divine medicine. You've really struck gold."

"Big Brother Beibei!" Huo Yuhao was deeply grateful upon hearing this.

"Alright, hurry back to your dormitory, consume the Mystic Water Pill, and wait for your transformation tomorrow," Tang Ya said at this moment.

Soon it was the next day, and Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya were taking a stroll at Shrek Academy.

While they were walking, Wang Dong seemed to notice something; he seemed to see a streak of extreme fire approaching them at high speed.

"Wang Dong, what's wrong?" Huo Yuhao asked, looking puzzled.

"Not good, someone is approaching at an incredible speed, and this person's temperature is terrifyingly high!"

Wang Dong realized the severity of the situation immediately and tried to pull Huo Yuhao away to escape, but the other party charged over too quickly. Wang Dong wanted to manifest his martial soul and drag Huo Yuhao to safety, but before he could even move, he fainted. Seeing Wang Dong collapse, Huo Yuhao tried to help, but it was too late; he unleashed a Soul Shock, only to find it had no effect.

"Damn it, what should I do!" Just as Huo Yuhao was on the verge of a breakdown, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly intervened.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm took control of Huo Yuhao's body to help.

"Messing with Dong-ge's people? Take my Sky Dream Finger!"

The opponent fainted instantly; she appeared to be a red-haired, mature beauty who looked quite stunning.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm returned to Huo Yuhao's spiritual world and handed control of the body back to him.

"You fellow, is there a hole in your brain? If it weren't for me, you would have been dead just now, wouldn't you? You idiot, are you stupid?!" Tian Meng shouted angrily at this moment.

"I'm truly sorry, Brother Sky Dream, I know I was wrong."

"Grandfather, we're here." Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen walked over. The two looked at their grandfather, their faces full of joy, knowing that he had reached Level 95 Title Douluo and now had the opportunity to become a Level 10 Soul Master.

As young nobles of the Sun Moon Empire's elite, they had their own guesses about the requirements for becoming a Level 10 Soul Master; after all, while Level 10 Soul Masters had become history, they had not been entirely absent in the past.

Thus, Jing Hongchen, having reached Level 95, was qualified to become a Level 9 Soul Master. This would allow the Red Dust Family to stand more firmly within the upper echelons of the Sun Moon Empire and enjoy even greater privileges.

However, the two noticed that their grandfather (Jing Hongchen) seemed to have something on his mind.

"You two have come at a good time, Xiao, Meng. I asked you here because there is something I want to ask you: do you have any interest in learning alchemy?"

"??? Learning alchemy???"

"??? What do you mean???"

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were completely bewildered. They were both soul masters; why would they need to learn alchemy?

"Grandfather, I'd like to ask, do you have some sort of plan? I am already an outstanding soul master, and a Level 5 Soul Master at the Soul King level at that. Why would I need to learn alchemy?"

"That's right, Grandfather. Xiao and I are both excellent soul masters, and our soul power levels are quite high. Why learn alchemy? Do you have a reason?"

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen voiced their confusion, hoping their grandfather would provide an explanation.

"It's like this: the reason I was able to become a Level 95 Title Douluo (Super Douluo) is because of the pills given to me by Zhong Kui. He discovered ancient alchemical techniques in an ancient ruin. So, I wanted to ask if you would like to learn them. If you learn alchemy, even if you reach Level 94 like I did and cannot break through to Level 95 due to insufficient talent, you could use pills to become a Level 95 Super Douluo, or even have the hope of becoming a Level 10 Soul Master. I am asking you now if you choose to learn. If you are unwilling, I can find others; the Sun Moon Empire is vast, and many would be willing to learn. It doesn't matter if you don't want to; I won't force you, as I know you are already studying soul tools and the difficulty would be high. I am simply asking. If you are willing, I will support you with all my might; if not, then so be it."

After hearing their grandfather speak, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen thought for a while and decided against learning alchemy. They were already soul masters, and the pressure was immense. Although they were geniuses, even geniuses had their limits, so they chose to decline.

"Grandfather, we are already under great pressure studying soul tools and raising our soul power. Adding alchemy would only increase that burden. Although we are geniuses, the problem is..."

"This is my fault for not considering it clearly. Then, let's drop the matter."

Subsequently, the two left the room.

"That Zhong Kui can help Grandfather refine pills to increase soul power. Should we... go and build a good relationship with him, Meng?"

"I think we should. If we do, it will be important for our Red Dust Family to stand firm in the future, especially if Grandfather is no longer around."
