Qian Renxue

Qian Renxue nodded. "Medicinal herbs, information on immortal herbs, gold soul coins, and a storage soul tool that can hold living creatures?"

"I'll remember that."

Wang Chen took out the soul power pill he had refined earlier. "This is a pill I refined for cultivation. Give it a try."

The soul power contained in this pill was not much. It was just right for Wang Chen's cultivation, but for Qian Renxue, the amount of soul power it contained might have been a little too little.

However, Qian Renxue's soul power was currently depleted. Absorbing the soul power from a pill was still better than cultivating directly.

Moreover, Wang Chen's purpose in giving Qian Renxue the pill was not to let her rapidly restore her soul power at all, but to let her know that he could refine pills capable of restoring soul power.

On Douluo Continent, quite a few auxiliary-system soul masters—especially healing-system and food-system soul masters—had the ability to restore soul power.

However, their means of restoring soul power mostly came at the cost of their own soul power, using soul skills to achieve the effect.

A method like Wang Chen's, which used medicinal ingredients from Douluo Continent that were refined and purified into pills for restoring soul power, was rarely seen.

The advantage of using pills to restore soul power was that, as long as there were sufficient materials, they could be refined on a large scale.

Furthermore, pills could be stored for longer and prepared in advance.

Unlike the method of auxiliary-system soul masters restoring soul power through soul skills, it had time limits, could not be stored for long, and could not be mass-produced.

Wang Chen was now enemies with Tang San, using the training of Tang San to gather the power of faith.

In the future, he might need the help of Qian Renxue and Spirit Hall.

When that time came, the pill Wang Chen had brought out would prove useful.

Spirit Hall had numerous personnel. If everyone could carry a pill during missions that restored their soul power in a short time, it would be equivalent to every soul master having twice as much soul power.

The effect would not quite double Spirit Hall's strength, but raising it by ten or twenty percent would be no problem at all.

Qian Renxue accepted the pill and nodded. "Thank you."

After saying that, she sat cross-legged once more, swallowed the pill, and began circulating her cultivation method to refine it.

A quarter of an hour later, Qian Renxue opened her eyes and said happily, "Your pill has decent potency. One pill contains an amount of soul power equivalent to what an ordinary tenth-level soul master could accumulate at full effort over five days. Do you have any more?"

Wang Chen nodded. "Yes. However, this pill can only be taken once a week, because taking too many will cause pill toxins to accumulate in the body. If the pill toxins aren't cleared and you keep absorbing them, it will affect your future cultivation speed."

Qian Renxue said, "You needn't worry about that. My martial soul happens to have the ability to purify foreign energy. As long as I don't absorb thousands upon thousands of pills in a single day, the small amount of pill toxins in your pills won't affect me much."

Wang Chen was stunned upon hearing this. Only then did he recall that although he had not completely removed the pill toxins when refining this pill.

And while he himself could clear the pill toxins from his body through a special cultivation method.

That did not mean martial souls with purification abilities would fear such a small amount of pill toxins.

"Since that's the case, then absorb them."

As he spoke, Wang Chen took several dozen pills from his spatial soul tool and handed them to Qian Renxue. "These are all the pills I've accumulated during this period. If you want more, you'll have to wait until I refine another batch."

Only then did Qian Renxue realize that the pills Wang Chen provided had been refined in a pill furnace, rather than directly condensed through soul skills like those of other auxiliary-system soul masters.

Qian Renxue looked at the pills in her hand. "You have no more pills, so we'll leave it at that for now."

Afterward, Qian Renxue swallowed and refined the pills one after another, drawing out the soul power within to restore herself. At the same time, she used the Angel martial soul and the cultivation method unique to the Qian family to expel the pill toxins from her body.

Only after refining all the pills and absorbing the soul power within them, restoring a fair amount of soul power in her body, did Qian Renxue rise from the ground.

Qian Renxue looked at Wang Chen and said, "Thank you for saving me this time.

"If you are not in a hurry, you can go to Heaven Dou City and wait a few days. I will prepare the things you want and deliver them to you."

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye in Sunset Forest, where Wang Chen intended to go, was northwest of Heaven Dou City.

Wang Chen was actually somewhat puzzled.

In the original work, after Tang San was captured by Dugu Bo, Yu Xiaogang was able to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye in two or three days by relying on Luo Sanpao's sense of smell.

Wang Chen could not help wondering whether Dugu Bo and his Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor martial soul smelled that strongly.

Furthermore, Dugu Bo used poison and frequently wandered throughout Sunset Forest. Logically speaking, his scent should have been everywhere.

How had Yu Xiaogang found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye through Luo Sanpao's sense of smell?

Also, on the way to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, had Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender not encountered any soul beasts that were tens of thousands of years old?

If they had encountered one, how had they dealt with it?

Without using their martial soul fusion skill, the three of them could not possibly defeat a soul beast that was tens of thousands of years old.

If they had used their martial soul fusion skill, the fluctuations in strength would certainly have drawn Dugu Bo's attention.

But the original work did not mention it.

Or perhaps Tang Hao had secretly intervened to help?

Wang Chen felt that was possible too.

But if Tang Hao had intervened, why had he not resolved the matter directly? Why make Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender take action instead?

Wang Chen could not figure it out.

Wang Chen looked at Qian Renxue and said, "I happen to want to see the imperial capital and royal city of the Heaven Dou Empire. I'll be staying in Heaven Dou City for a few days."

Qian Renxue nodded. "That's good!"

Just then, someone suddenly descended from the sky and came before Qian Renxue, bowing. "Young Mistress, are you all right?"

Wang Chen looked toward the newcomer.

The man stood over two meters tall, his body straight as a spear—lean, long, and sharp. He stood perfectly upright, radiating a chilling, murderous aura.

His face looked middle-aged, perhaps somewhat older, yet he carried an air of resolute severity.

His complexion was dark, fine lines creased the corners of his eyes, and his gaze was cold and deep as an icy pool, bearing the sharpness and gloom of someone long hardened by the battlefield.

He held a snake spear that gleamed with bluish-purple light.

Wang Chen recognized him at once. He was She Long Douluo, one of the two Titled Douluo Qian Daoliu had sent to protect Qian Renxue.

Because his martial soul was a snake spear, he was also known as the Snake Spear Douluo.

In the original work, Yang Wudi, at level eighty-nine, had pierced straight through his chest with a single thrust of the Soulbreaking Spear.

She Long's gaze swept over Wang Chen, making his entire body turn cold, as though he had been targeted by a gigantic venomous snake.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Wang Chen's head soul bone stirred, releasing a stream of pure soul power that suppressed She Long's aura and quelled Wang Chen's fear.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue frowned and hurriedly stepped in front of Wang Chen, blocking She Long's cold, sinister aura.

Qian Renxue waved her hand. "My soul power was exhausted earlier, and I fainted from fatigue. It was fortunate that this little brother came to my aid!"

"He is my benefactor. There is no need for this."
