Exchange, Soul Power Increase!

Inside the carriage, Feng Xiaotian had talked with Cheng Cheng for less than half an hour when the latter began to look tired. He lay down and fell asleep shortly afterward.

That was also why he was riding in a carriage alone. First, he didn't want many people to know about his physical condition. Second, he wanted to get better rest.

The man driving the carriage outside was his servant. It was said that Cheng Cheng had saved his life years ago, and he had followed Cheng Cheng ever since, taking care of his daily needs. He was also someone Cheng Cheng could trust.

Feng Xiaotian wouldn't have known without seeing it himself. Vice Dean Cheng's illness had already reached this point!

At level seventy-six, Cheng Cheng was one of the pillars of Godwind Academy. After all, the academy currently had only two Soul Saints in total.

The other was the dean of Godwind Academy, a divine dragon whose head was seen but not its tail. He didn't come to the academy more than a few times a year.

Although Cheng Cheng held the title of vice dean, he didn't handle much of the academy's business.

As for all the academy's affairs, they were basically managed by Feng Xiaotian's father, Feng Qingyang, who also held the post of academic affairs director!

Speaking of this father he'd acquired, Feng Xiaotian still hadn't met him since transmigrating into this world. After all, he'd left Godwind Academy with the group as soon as he arrived.

He also had all the information about Feng Qingyang in his head. His Martial Soul was the Gale Demon Wolf, he was exactly forty-six years old, and his Soul Power was level sixty-nine.

His talent wasn't bad either. He'd had innate Soul Power of level six. Without that inherited foundation, it would have been difficult for Feng Xiaotian to reach full innate Soul Power even with his Martial Soul Mutation!

Feng Xiaotian closed his eyes and thought back to the plot of the Douluo novel. This Feng Qingyang probably hadn't appeared in it.

Even Feng Xiaotian himself had been no more than a passing figure in the novel, let alone the people around him.

In the end, he was simply defeated by Tang San, and the Four Great Elemental Academies were all but absorbed into Shrek Academy, with him becoming a foot soldier in the resistance against the Spirit Hall Empire.

At that thought, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help clenching his fists. In this life, he would never let that happen again.

I have a system, and I've got a cheat too. Tang San, this time your grandpa's going to do things the other way around!

But even if it's you, Tang San, there's no need to take you too seriously!

The next moment, the system page appeared before Feng Xiaotian's eyes again.

A new section had appeared in what had previously been a blank space on the goddess panel.

[Congratulations to the host on successfully binding the goddess Shui Bing'er! Please win her over as soon as possible!]

Host's bound goddess:

Shui Bing'er

Status: healthy

Age: 15

Soul Power: level 34

Martial Soul: Ice Phoenix

Soul Rings: yellow, yellow, purple

Favorability: 0

Shui Bing'er's basic information was laid out at a glance. Feng Xiaotian thought, System, I've bound a goddess just like that?

[The host only needs to spend on a goddess whose combined rating in the three attributes has the potential to reach 96 or above, or has already reached 96 or above. Once the expenditure succeeds, she will automatically be bound to the host. After a goddess is bound, the host can check her movements in real time at any time.]

I can even check a goddess's movements? I like it!

Feng Xiaotian saw a small blue box on Shui Bing'er's panel, labeled "View"!

Try it?

Since the function was there, he naturally had to give it a try. System, view!

Shui Bing'er's basic information appeared again. Since it had just been displayed, it was the same as before.

But this time, there was an additional entry about her movements.

[Shui Bing'er is on her way to Blazing Fire Academy to participate in the exchange tournament! She is currently wearing the Ice Soul Jade Crystal Necklace exchanged by the host and has experienced its benefits!]

"This function is way too powerful, isn't it?" Feng Xiaotian said delightedly. He could see what a goddess was doing at any time.

[Ding... The host has tried the goddess viewing function. Paid mode has been activated. Subsequent views will cost 100 Simp Coins!]

"This... system, you really are a dog!" Feng Xiaotian couldn't help teasing. It cost money to use a function; a system like this was truly a rare find.

He shook his head helplessly. How could he possibly change the system's settings?

With a thought, Feng Xiaotian brought up the exchange panel before his eyes.

Five thousand Simp Coins was already quite a lot.

After all, ten thousand Simp Coins could be exchanged for an ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. But ordinary really did mean ordinary: the Soul Skill gained from an ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was ordinary too!

A glance showed him that Soul Rings were also divided by quality: ordinary, medium, high-grade, and perfect. The grades represented how much benefit one could gain from absorbing them.

A perfect Soul Ring could grant him a perfect Soul Skill suited to him, but the more perfect something was, the more perfectly priced it was!

Soul Bones, like Soul Rings, were divided into the same four grades, which also represented the quality of the Soul Bone Skill one could obtain.

With an ordinary Soul Bone, there was a very good chance that even if he successfully absorbed it, the skill he gained might be a chicken rib, of little use.

Looking at it that way, his five thousand Simp Coins were far too few.

Immortal-grade medicinal herbs started at a million Simp Coins.

It wasn't impossible to earn Simp Coins quickly. He just had to spend on a goddess.

But spending came with its own difficulties. Only if the goddess fully accepted what he gave her would the expenditure count as successful, and only then could he earn Simp Coins.

Damn it, even being a simp is hard!

Feng Xiaotian nearly cursed aloud!

After calming himself and returning to his senses, Feng Xiaotian looked again at the items he could exchange for with his five thousand Simp Coins.

Thinking of the injured Cheng Cheng, Feng Xiaotian looked at the healing-related items.

For example, a healing Soul Skill card could be exchanged for and used once to perform a healing Soul Skill.

Level-one healing Soul Skill card: its effect upon use was equivalent to a healing Soul Master's first Soul Skill. It cost 100 Simp Coins.

What use is that?

Feng Xiaotian looked at a level-two healing Soul Skill card. Its effect was comparable to a healing Soul Master's second Soul Skill, and it cost 500 Simp Coins.

But those healing Soul Skills might be completely useless to Cheng Cheng.

Feng Xiaotian kept looking until he reached the level-five healing Soul Skill card. It actually cost 5,000 Simp Coins.

Judging by what Cheng Cheng had said earlier, perhaps only a Soul Douluo's healing Soul Skill would have any effect on his injuries. That meant a level-eight healing Soul Skill card, which cost fifty thousand Simp Coins.

It was nowhere near enough. Feng Xiatou turned his attention to the medicinal herbs.

But the exchange prices for those herbs were much the same. Besides them, there were also healing pills.

Without exception, healing Cheng Cheng's injuries would cost nearly fifty thousand Simp Coins.

Five thousand Simp Coins couldn't be used for anything.

As for Cheng Cheng's injuries, Feng Xiaotian could only set them aside for the time being.

He looked again at the page for increasing Soul Power, something he'd had his heart set on for a long time.

As for cultivation techniques, Feng Xiaotian wasn't considering them yet, because five thousand Simp Coins couldn't be exchanged for much of anything.

He had already looked at pills for increasing Soul Power on the road.

Five thousand Simp Coins was just enough to exchange for an Intermediate Soul Power Pill that he could use now to increase his Soul Power.

Intermediate Soul Power Pill: usable by Soul Elders above level thirty. It could increase the user's Soul Power by a certain amount. It had no side effects, but the user would develop a degree of resistance to it. After ten pills, it would no longer have any effect. It was ineffective for Soul Ancestors above level forty!

Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power had remained at level thirty-eight for nearly six or seven months and could basically be considered at the peak of that level.

If he cultivated the way he had before, he might have to wait another month or two before breaking through.

Without the slightest hesitation, Feng Xiaotian thought, System, exchange for one Intermediate Soul Power Pill!

The next moment, a brown Intermediate Soul Power Pill the size of a small glass marble appeared in Feng Xiaotian's hand.

He glanced once more at the sleeping Cheng Cheng, then put the Intermediate Soul Power Pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

Not long after the Intermediate Soul Power Pill entered his stomach, Feng Xiaotian immediately felt a warm current flow from his abdomen into his limbs and throughout his body.

He circulated his Soul Power and began cultivating.

As time slowly passed, half an hour later, the medicinal effect of the Elementary Soul Power Pill had been completely exhausted, and Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power had finally risen to level thirty-nine!
