Yun Shan was surprised and couldn't help but say, " Xiao Tian, are you kidding me? Gu He couldn't even become Sixth-Rank Alchemist, how could you, at such a young age, possibly reach the Seventh-Rank Alchemist?"
"Who do you think you are! Do you even know anything about geniuses!" Xiao Tian scoffed. "Old Sect Master, just tell me if you have one or not!"
"Yes, three King-grade plants and one Imperial-grade plant, but I don't believe you can refine anything. My soul is incomplete, and it can't be healed simply by replenishing Soul Power."
"Elder Master, let me take your pulse then."
Yun Shan chuckled and said, "What can you possibly see? Oh well, I only have a few years left, so feel free to do whatever you want."
Upon observing the pulse of Yun Shan, Xiao Tian's expression grew solemn.
Seeing Xiao Tian's solemn expression, Yun Shan wondered if the young man had learned something over the years, and couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
Xiao Tian shook his head and said, "There's no hope."
Yun Shan's face immediately darkened. Even though he knew he didn't have many years left to live, he still couldn't say that!
"Bullshit!" Xiao Tian chuckled. "I haven't finished speaking yet. The old sect master failed to break through to the Dou Zong and his soul was injured by the energy of heaven and earth. The soul is mainly divided into three souls and seven spirits. The three souls of heaven, earth, and life are normal, but two of the seven spirits are problematic. Among the seven spirits, there are two heaven spirits, two earth spirits, and three human spirits. Since only one human spirit remains, his lifespan is naturally greatly reduced."
Hearing Xiao Tian speak so logically, Yun Shan asked in surprise, "Where did you learn that? Are you just making it up?"
Xiao Tian snorted, "Old Sect Master, it's fine if you don't believe me. Anyway, give me all your King-grade and Emperor-grade spiritual materials for nourishing your Soul Power, and I'll make you a Life Wheel Golden Pill tonight. That will guarantee you can continue to live a carefree life for another hundred years. As long as you can break through to the Dou Zong within a hundred years, we can eliminate any future troubles."
"Really?" Yun Shan was a little doubtful.
"Of course it's true!" Xiao Tian said proudly, "If you don't believe me, can't you believe in my master's abilities?"
Yun Shan knew that the master Xiao Tian mentioned was someone else. Thinking that since the four spiritual materials were just sitting there anyway, he might as well let the kid give them a try.
"Okay! You can have them all!"
Xiao Tian was overjoyed to discover that one of the royal-grade spiritual materials was actually a rare spiritual material called Twin-Stalk Soul Orchid from the system's alchemist inheritance.
"I've struck gold! Once I break through to the Seventh-Rank Alchemist, I can refine this Twin-Stalk Soul Orchid into the Primordial Essence Soul Pill, which will make the soul so powerful that it's difficult for anyone to Gou Hun out of the body."
"Old Sect Master! Just you wait!"
As night fell, the old sect leader felt uneasy because he discovered that Xiao Tian was in seclusion in his room, and he hadn't sensed any powerful figures approaching.
"Could it be that the kid refined the pills himself?"
"Or perhaps this kid's master is Dou Zong? So powerful that even I can't sense him?"
As the bright, round disc hung high in the sky, Yun Shan noticed that the door to Xiao Tian's house had been opened! A fragrant aroma of elixir wafted from within, Hun Qing, invigorating his body, and making him feel much more cheerful.
"Excellent pill!"
"It's naturally a fine pill." Xiao Tian appeared with a jade bottle, a smile on his face. Inside the bottle was a golden, flawless elixir, and upon closer inspection, six overlapping halos of light shone every two seconds.
"What kind of pill is this?" Yun Shan was shocked.
"It's the Life Wheel Golden Pill! It can help you generate two human souls, thus completing your three souls and seven spirits. Hurry up! Old Sect Master, take it. I'll protect you."
Yun Shan accepted the jade bottle as if it were a divine elixir, without hesitation!
