High Intent Grade: Ten Thousand Seas Return to the Ruins!
The sudden noise startled Mu Leng Ling, who was awakened, causing him to pause slightly. However, his expression changed immediately, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"This is... Soul Secret Technique?"
Xiao Siyu nodded gently upon hearing this. At this moment, she stood up excitedly and moved closer to the Soul Stone Iron Scroll. Her beautiful eyes scrutinized the words that appeared on it, and her exquisite face looked even more like a piece of fine jade under the light.
"High-level Soul Technique are already extremely rare, and high-level Soul Secret Technique are even rarer. I never expected that you would actually get such a good deal. If word gets out, I'm afraid the threshold of this hall will be trampled to pieces by those old guys from the Pill Tower."
Xiao Siyu's gaze fell on Xiao Yan across the light screen, and she teased him with a hint of envy in her voice.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, let out a soft sigh, and calmed his burning emotions a little. He hadn't expected that the Soul Stone Iron Scroll would contain a Soul Secret Technique. It seemed that selling the seventh-grade pill formula and the Earth Spirit Tempering Fire Pill was well worth the price.
While Soul Dou Technique are indeed incredibly precious, they are still somewhat worthwhile. However, Soul Secret Technique are quite different, with varying methods and some even capable of resurrecting someone from a desperate situation. As a result, Soul Secret Technique appear on the continent very rarely and only briefly. Moreover, what is right now in front of Xiao Yan is a High Intent Grade secret technique.
As the light above the Soul Stone Iron Scroll receded, the light that had filled the hall finally transformed into a fist-sized ball of light, with several runes encircling it like chains, swirling leisurely around the iron scroll.
"This is the Soul Secret Technique? It's quite different from the secret arts I've seen before."
Murong Qianqian stared at the ball of light with curiosity in her bright eyes, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"These secret techniques are mostly the life-saving trump cards of powerful individuals. If it weren't for the purpose of passing them down, who would casually inscribe their trump cards onto a scroll?"
Xiao Yan chuckled lightly, then exchanged a glance with Xiao Siyu. Both of them saw a burning desire in each other's eyes. Without saying a word, they each extended a finger and gently touched the ball of light. As their Spiritual Strength entered, a vast amount of information also poured into their minds.
However, the excitement on their faces lasted only a moment before they both frowned. Xiao Siyu was the first to snap out of her reverie, looking somewhat disappointed. Her alluring figure relaxed slightly as she sat back down in the chair behind her. Only then did Xiao Yan regain his composure, but compared to the former, his face wore a strange expression.
According to the contents of this secret technique, once it is used, it can greatly stimulate one's own Spiritual Strength for a long period of time, thereby obtaining a huge amount of Soul Power. Compared with ordinary alchemists, this power is enough to allow them to refine high-level pills across ranks. Moreover, it can even be used to break through the barrier of the soul realm. Once successful, it can forcibly Spirit Ascension realm. This alone makes this technique undeniably heaven-defying!
However, everything has two sides. The direct result of gaining immense Spiritual Strength is that after the secret technique's effect wears off, the person's Spiritual Strength will not only fall into a period of weakness, but there is also a high possibility that it will damage the Soul Origin or even lead to direct death. Such a price is no exaggeration to say that one is trading life for temporary power. Moreover, even if the caster survives in the end, it is likely that their Spiritual Strength will be forever stuck at the current level...
Xiao Siyu glanced at Xiao Yan, whose expression was strange, and gently touched her forehead with her jade-like fingers, sighing:
"This Soul Stone Iron Scroll has been in that old man's possession for a long time, so he must have known about the existence of this secret technique. Now it seems no wonder he would sell such a rare treasure as the Soul Stone Iron Scroll."
Upon hearing this Xiao Yan chuckled and extended a palm, gently trembling it towards the ball of light in front of him. A suction force surged forth, and the runes surrounding the surface of the ball of light began to writhe as if they were alive. Then, a beam of light shot out from within and flowed into Xiao Yan's body through his palm.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Siyu frowned and exclaimed in shock:
"You actually want to cultivate this secret technique? Are you insane? If you fail, you'll die and your cultivation will be extinguished!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's smile deepened. The Ten Thousand Seas Return to the Ruins to Ruins might be a deadly weapon for others, but for someone with the Origin Body, this secret technique was practically tailor-made for him.
After all, the so-called price was practically meaningless under the protection of the Origin Body. Although he still had lingering fears, he ultimately believed that the acquired body cultivated by the entire Fire Banyan Clan could not possibly be defeated by a single secret technique.
Seeing Xiao Yan's confident demeanor, Xiao Siyu's tense emotions gradually calmed down. As her beautiful eyes scanned Xiao Yan up and down, she inexplicably felt that this guy might really have the means to control this secret technique.
After a short while, Xiao Siyu stood up again, slightly pursed her lips, and said:
"Fine, choose whichever you like. I'm going to rest now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Siyu turned and headed upstairs. Just before reaching the top of the stairs, she suddenly turned back, pondering:
"By the way, those two people who brushed past us in the main hall earlier, although I'm not sure, I have a feeling they might be Bai Clan people."
" Bai Clan person?"
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow. He had previously felt that the young man among the two was a bit strange, but he hadn't investigated it further. Now that Xiao Siyu had brought it up, he turned his thoughts back to the matter. However, he nodded in agreement and then put the matter aside.
After all, it is the Pill Tower Grand Gathering, so it is only natural that the three major clans would send people to participate. Even though the Xiao Clan and the Bai Clan are currently at odds, what can they do on the territory of the Pill Tower? They can just be a little careful at the Pill Gathering.
After Xiao Siyu left, Xiao Yan put away the Soul Stone Iron Scroll. Mu Leng had already disappeared when Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian were talking earlier, so now only he and Murong Qianqian remained in the hall.
In the suddenly quiet hall, Xiao Yan looked at Murong Qianqian, who was standing to the side with curious eyes. He hadn't paid much attention to this woman all day, and only then did he realize that the girl in front of him had grown from the cute and charming girl he first met into a graceful and beautiful young woman.
Looking at Murong Qianqian so close to him, Xiao Yan's mind was filled with a whirlwind of thoughts, and in his mind, a peerless beauty with Bing Shuang slowly emerged.
After opening his mouth, Xiao Yan finally hesitated and asked:
" Leng Bingshuang... How is she now?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Qianqian was slightly taken aback, then rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan without any politeness and teased him:
"So you still remember Sister Leng..."
Xiao Yan was immediately embarrassed, and seeing this, the latter continued:
"You've been gone for so many years. If it weren't for Sister Leng protecting you, the Xiao Gate you founded would probably have disintegrated long ago... It's also thanks to Sister Leng that the Xiao Gate now dominates the entire Western Region, and even has branches in the Southern Region. As for you, the sect leader, you're living a carefree life in the Central Region. If you just go back, you can just pick up a huge power for free."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, but then Murong Qianqian changed the subject, frowning as she said:
"But..."
