The Toxic Best Friend Type of Master
Inside a grand hall in the Immortal Ruins.
Xu Qingying and Lin Qingxue left the cave abode together and eventually returned to the Xu Household's main hall.
Upon returning, Xu Qingying immediately turned to her master, Lin Qingxue, and asked, "Master, what do you think of this matter? Especially the idea of forming a contract within my soul; I'm a little unsure if she might do anything bad to me."
A person's soul is extremely important.
There are now three possibilities facing her.
One possibility is that the other party created a contract within her soul, restricting her subsequent actions and forcing her to fulfill the terms of the agreement.
This is the best possible outcome.
Secondly, the other party may have ulterior motives, which have hurt her deeply!
This left her with a void in her soul, greatly limiting her future development.
This was used to force her to fulfill the terms of the agreement.
The third and most vicious method is possession!
Perhaps the other party will take advantage of her most vulnerable moment and seize her soul!
Lin Qingxue stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "I think His Excellency is still trustworthy, so I agree to this."
"Master, what makes you think this is feasible? Could you provide reliable evidence so I can consider it?" Xu Qingying asked earnestly.
Lin Qingxue said, "Think about it, the worst thing is that the Venerable One wants to possess you. If she wanted to possess you, she should have done so long ago! Why wait until you've reached your current cultivation level to do so? The lower the cultivation level of the person being possessed, the easier the possession will be! I think the Venerable One brought this up after you broke through to this realm, which means she had already considered your concerns and wanted to dispel them!"
Think about it again. If she wanted to possess you, she wouldn't have so explicitly told you she wanted to imprint a contract on your soul. And saying those threatening things only alerted her. So I think the idea of her possessing you is unreasonable and illogical.
Xu Qingying had indeed considered this point. When she heard the Venerable One say he wanted her life, she was startled, but what he said afterward actually lessened her guard.
"Secondly, what's truly dangerous for you is that the Venerable One might use methods within your soul to force you to strictly fulfill the terms of the agreement. The probability of this is quite high, but as long as you fulfill the agreement, there's really nothing to fear, unless you never intended to properly fulfill her conditions in the first place. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement for both of you, and there's no such thing as an opportunity without danger; after all, opportunities are often accompanied by risks..."
Xu Qingying said, "Since I have agreed, I will naturally keep my promise."
"That's fine then. After analyzing it, I think it's feasible. Of course, we can't be completely unprepared. In these three days, my disciple, you can do everything you can to make preparations to prevent being possessed! As long as you've made all the preparations, then you can agree! This is a great fortuitous opportunity for both of us!" Lin Qingxue tried her best to persuade Xu Qingying to make this happen.
Actually, she wasn't quite sure if this Venerable One would try to possess Xu Qingying, and she didn't really care.
As for whether she had feelings for Xu Qingying, given their long-standing relationship as teacher and student, there were bound to be some, but she loved herself more!
If Xu Qingying does not agree to the Venerable One's request, Xu Qingying will not only be giving up her own interests, but she will also be unable to get what she wants from the Venerable One!
She had waited so long for this moment!
She also needs Divine Crystal to upgrade!
Let's grow stronger together by taking advantage of Xu Qingying's power!
She did so much for this; she couldn't afford to fail!
Xu Qingying frowned, lost in thought.
"Alright, disciple, stop thinking about it. Listening to your master is the right thing to do. What you need to do now is to do everything you can to prevent being possessed!"
"Alright, does Master have any good ideas?"
"Not yet. We have three days to prepare, which is enough time for us to study it."
"..."
The following morning.
In the Demon Domain, in the courtyard.
After refining pills for a long time, Dao of Alchemy Master finally entered the final stage of the process.
Just then, Xu Xuanyu, who had been chatting with the Pill Cauldron for a long time and had learned a lot, came to the side of Dao of Alchemy Master.
"Hehe, Master, do you need my help?"
He learned a pill-refining technique from that Pill Cauldron, which could enhance his Pill Nirvana Emperor Position status and elevate the quality of pills!
Last night he worked through the night to refine some pills, tried them out, and found they were actually effective!
So he went to his brother-in-law and told him about his achievements. Unexpectedly, after listening to him, his brother-in-law asked him to come over and see if he could help in any way.
"No need. I'll be able to refine it in half a day. Don't bother me. If you ruin the pill, your brother-in-law will beat you to death," said Dao of Alchemy Master.
"Ahem, Master, my brother-in-law sent me here. I recently learned an alchemy technique from the Pill Cloud Continent of the Three Heavens Continent! Combined with my Emperor Position, there's a chance it can double the effectiveness of the pills!"
"Are you sure?!" Dao of Alchemy Master looked at Xu Xuanyu in surprise upon hearing this.
"Yes!"
"Now that you're taking over alchemy, will there be any problems? Besides, you haven't been practicing alchemy for very long, have you really mastered it?" Dao of Alchemy Master hadn't really watched Xu Xuanyu practice alchemy properly. After passing on his Dao of Alchemy skills to Xu Xuanyu, Xu Xuanyu had been cultivating in the time-travel treasures of the Demon Willow Academy almost every day.
"Master, don't underestimate me. When I broke through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm, I spent every day refining pills in the Time Treasure! After all, refining pills makes you stronger! In addition, I gained pill refining experience from the Pill Cauldron. My pill refining skills may not be as good as yours, but my knowledge of pill refining has already surpassed yours."
Xu Xuanyu was very confident.
"Alright! Let you try, kid!" Dao of Alchemy Master thought to himself that even if this batch of pills was ruined, he could still cut off a section of the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine to refine the next batch of pills.
"Okay!" Xu Xuanyu took a deep breath and quickly switched positions with Dao of Alchemy Master.
The Pill Nirvana Emperor Position appeared behind him, and the moment he took over the Pill Furnace, a large amount of Demonic Qi surged from his hands to control the Pill Furnace.
This pill hasn't reached the condensation stage yet, so if he takes over now, he can still manage it!
Dao of Alchemy Master watched quietly from the side, thinking that if his disciple really had any good alchemy skills, he could secretly learn a trick himself!
After all, the Pill Cloud Continent is much stronger than the Cangyun Continent, and many people on that continent are alchemy masters. It's normal for someone to be better at alchemy than him.
Time slips by unnoticed.
Half a day passed.
Noon has arrived.
"Freeze!!"
Xu Xuanyu shouted, and a burst of intense light erupted from the Emperor Position behind him, revealing his powerful cultivation aura.
The entire area within Fang Yuan thousand miles trembled.
Thunderclouds suddenly appeared in the sky!
Upon seeing this, Dao of Alchemy Master's eyes lit up.
To attract calamity clouds so easily, this kid is really something!
A single pill rose into the air.
Rumble!
Thunderbolts, like serpents, crashed down relentlessly on the golden pill.
"It's done!"
Xu Xuanyu was overjoyed and also felt that a considerable amount of the Divine Crystal within his body that were yet to be refined had been processed.
As expected, that alchemy technique was a perfect match for his Pill Nirvana Emperor Position!
From now on, he won't just become stronger by eating melons; he can become even stronger even faster by refining pills!!
You can focus on alchemy, and when you get tired of it, you can occasionally enjoy some melon seeds!
It's safe!!!
