A soul-level powerhouse with hidden aura told him the news about Jinshamu. If there was no other purpose, Shi Jiu would never believe it.
Sure enough, the next moment the old man said: "Originally I didn't intend to tell you this, but just now I discovered something different about you. Little brother, if my perception is correct, your soul power is very powerful, far beyond Ordinary people of the same age, is what I said wrong?"
The old man's words made him a little surprised, but he soon felt relieved. The other party was a strong man in the soul realm, and it was reasonable to see that he was a bit false. However, Shi Jiu neither admitted nor denied, but stared quietly. other side.
"If you don't deny it, I'll take it as you admit it, haha!"
Regarding Shi Jiu's reaction, the old man was a little stunned at first, but he immediately thought of something and laughed out loud.
"It seems that you have also guessed some of my identity. Of course, there is nothing to hide. My surname is Hang. Most people call me Mr. Hang. I wonder what your surname is? I must not be a native of Yongyan City, right?" Mr. Hang continued. said.
"The boy's surname is Shi. He is indeed not a native of Yongyan City. I wonder if Mr. Hang has anything to do with the boy?" Shi Jiu said, neither humble nor arrogant, while his body tensed slightly, guarding against the other party.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm." Mr. Hang saw Shi Jiu's guardedness and asked him to relax.
"I didn't have this idea originally, but now I do." Mr. Hang nodded.
"Mr. Hang might as well say it straight. If I can help, I won't shirk it."
"Young man, if you have courage, let me tell you straight. I, Feng Baozhai, am refining a kind of elixir. Because it is of a higher grade, the failure rate is higher with our current manpower, so I hope you can help us, little brother. .”
"Alchemy? Mr. Hang has found the wrong person. I am not an alchemist and I know almost nothing about alchemy. I'm sorry that I can't help you." Shi Jiu declined politely.
"Little brother, don't refuse in a hurry, listen to what I have to say." Mr. Hang said: "Alchemy master, I have it in Fengbaozhai, and I am refining that kind of elixir in a secret place at the moment. Just because that elixir is The level is indeed a bit high. It is difficult for an alchemy master to complete it alone. It requires the assistance of some people with strong soul power. "
"Oh? So that's it, but there should be no shortage of strong souls in Guibaozhai. At least with Mr. Hang helping you, the effect will definitely be better than mine, right?"
"Well, if it was half a month ago, we, Fengbaozhai, would indeed have no shortage of manpower. However, due to certain things, those who could help have left Yongyan City, and I need to deal with the disaster that will come after the pill is completed. There is no He has to use his energy to assist the alchemy master, so someone else is needed to assist the alchemy master." Mr. Hang explained.
"Then Mr. Hang, you don't plan to invite other capable people to help? I believe that with Fengbaozhai's golden sign, many people will be willing to help."
"Little brother, if you didn't show up, I would indeed have planned to do this, but the price would be very high, so high that I, Feng Baozhai, would not be willing to do it." Mr. Hang sighed.
"Isn't it because the price is the elixir you want to refine?" Mr. Hang's words gave Shi Jiu some guesses.
"Well, that's it." Mr. Hang nodded again, "Because the elixir is so rare and rare, ordinary soul-level experts cannot resist its attraction. I'm afraid that once the elixir is successful, they will help People can’t help but snatch it away.”
"Huh? So powerful? It can even make a powerful person in the soul realm unable to help but snatch it away?" After hearing what the other party said, Shi Jiuyi became curious for a moment.
"That elixir has a lot to do with the Xuanhuang Stone you want." Mr. Hang glanced at Shi Jiu and then said calmly.
"Is it related to the Xuanhuang Stone?" Shi Jiu became even more curious, but then he seemed to think of something and immediately asked in surprise: "Mr. Hang, the pill you are talking about is not the Xuanhuang Cross-border Pill, is it?"
"That's right, it's Xuanhuang Cross-border Pill." Mr. Hang nodded calmly.
Xuanhuang Cross-border Pill is a very prestigious pill, or very famous among the circles of soul realm experts. It is a high-level Xuanpin, one level higher than the Xuanjing Tiluo Pill that Shi Jiu is familiar with. Level two, because the main ingredient formula of this elixir is Xuanhuang Qi, and Xuanhuang stone containing Xuanhuang Qi is now extremely rare and difficult to find. In addition, the success rate of refining this elixir is low, so it is very rare and rare.
The reason why this elixir is so famous is its medicinal effect. In fact, just by listening to the name, you can know the effect of this elixir - cross-border, but this cross-border is at the soul level, to be precise, it is at the early stage of the human soul level. and mid-stage human soul realm, as long as a strong person in the early or middle stage of the human soul realm takes this pill, he can be promoted to one level in a very short period of time, and the original early or mid-stage human soul realm can be promoted to the middle or late stage without any traces. Side effects, a very good elixir.
Of course, Soul Realm experts can also take it, which can improve them to a complete level, but no Soul Realm expert will be willing to let Soul Realm monks take this pill. In addition, the Xuanhuang Cross-border Pill does not have this effect on those who are in the Earth Soul Realm and above. Therefore, every time the Xuanhuang Cross-border Pill appears, a large number of strong men in the early or middle stage of the Human Soul Realm will fight for it. For them, The temptation of this elixir is too great.
"Mr. Hang, my cultivation is not even at the central level. Do you just believe me? Aren't you afraid that it will mess up your alchemy?" Shi Jiu asked curiously.
Letting a low-level monk participate in the refining of such an important elixir is beyond the reach of ordinary people. This is tantamount to gambling. Even if Fengbaozhai is wealthy, if the elixir refining fails due to this, I am afraid he will regret it deeply.
"It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid, but I believe in my own vision more." At this moment, Mr. Hang's eyes were bright.
"Little brother, you have such a huge soul power at a young age, no worse than those at the peak of the Soul Realm. If you say that your background is ordinary, I won't believe it, so I think you can do it."
"Since Mr. Hang loves you so much, it would be too much for me to refuse anymore. But I have no guarantee whether the elixir can be completed in the end." Shi Jiu said with a smile.
"Haha, don't worry about this. As long as you try your best, it's up to God whether the elixir can be achieved or not." Seeing Shi Jiu agree, Mr. Hang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said again: "And don't worry, in the end, no matter whether If you succeed, I, Feng Baozhai, will send you a gift to express our gratitude."
"Then can this gift be exchanged for Xuanhuang Stone?" Shi Jiu asked half-jokingly.
"Sorry, the information about Xuanhuang Stone has been disseminated. It must appear at the auction in two days, otherwise I, Feng Baozhai, will break my promise."
"Okay, then when do we leave?"
"We will set off in a moment. If nothing else happens, tonight will be the time when the elixir will be completed. I have received news before that in one or two hours it will be the critical moment for the alchemy. We must ensure the stability and success of the elixir during this critical period. Preface." Mr. Hang said solemnly.
"Okay, let's go."
Afterwards, Shi Jiu followed Mr. Hang to the open space outside.
"Because time is urgent, little brother, let me take you there." Mr. Hang said.
"Okay." Shi Jiu nodded.
The next moment, Shi Jiu felt his body light up, and when he reacted, he was already high in the sky, with Mr. Hang flying at high speed next to him.
Although it was not the first time to fly, it was the first time to be carried by others, which made him curious. Moreover, the other party was also a strong man in the soul realm, and his flying speed was very fast, much faster than he could fly with his own flying wings.
Soon, the two of them left the scope of Yongyan City, and the ground beneath them was rapidly retreating backwards.
About half an hour later, the two landed at the entrance of a valley.
"Let's go, the elixir is being refined inside." With that said, Mr. Hang led Shi Jiu into the valley.
As soon as he entered the valley, Shi Jiu saw a group of people gathered around a furnace cauldron from a distance.
Everyone looked on guard and watched everything around them closely. When they saw Shi Jiu and two people appearing, they tensed up at first, and pointed the weapons in their hands at the two people who suddenly appeared. When they saw clearly that the person coming was Mr. Hang. Finally, he took it back again.
"There is a large formation guarding here. Don't rush in. Follow me closely." Mr. Hang said solemnly.
Shi Jiu nodded, but his attention had already been attracted by the huge cauldron in the middle.
The furnace cauldron is completely blue, with various lifelike patterns of underworld beasts engraved on it. Perhaps due to the high temperature in the furnace, the eyes of these underworld beast patterns are all red, as if they are coming to life. They are very powerful, and in the furnace In the center of the cauldron, there was a pile of fire as red as blood, and a very small thing was rising and falling in the midst of the flames.
As he got closer, Shi Jiu's expression gradually became serious. Waves of heat surged from inside the cauldron to all sides. If Mr. Hang hadn't given him a fire-avoiding pill in advance, otherwise he would have been hit by this heat wave. He wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
At this time, he noticed an old man floating next to the cauldron. His eyes were slightly closed, but his expression was solemn.
Although Shi Jiu didn't recognize the old man next to the furnace, he guessed his identity. He should be the alchemy master of Fengbaozhai. At this time, there was an invisible force surrounding the old man and the furnace.
"What a powerful soul." Shi Jiu was amazed in his heart.
The invisible power is the soul power exuded by the old man beside the furnace. It is not only huge in size but also of high grade. It is much stronger than the average powerhouse at the peak of the soul realm. Moreover, the old man does not hide his aura. Shi Jiu With just a brief perception, it became clear that the other party was still a strong man at the peak of his soul realm.
"Little brother, the old man next to the furnace is Mr. Mo from Fengbaozhai. Mr. Mo is also the only strong man in the entire Yongyan Mansion who holds the title of master of alchemy." Mr. Hang next to him led Shi Jiu in front of him. He introduced while doing so.
At this time, the old man who had been closing his eyes opened his eyes, and then looked at Mr. Hang and Shi Jiu not far away.
"Old Strange Hang, is this little guy the helper you invited?" After seeing the person clearly, Mr. Mo next to the furnace asked Mr. Hang in surprise, but his words were obviously dissatisfied.
"Yes, this little brother is the helper I invited." Mr. Hang smiled and was about to introduce Shi Jiu beside him to Mr. Mo in front.
"Old Monster Hang, please wait a moment. Do you know how long I have been preparing for this alchemy? I have collected the materials for several years and only managed to make one copy. And this Xuanhuang cross-border elixir is not connected to me. There is no absolute certainty that I can succeed, and all my efforts will be wasted if there is a slight mistake. But you are lucky enough to find a little guy who can't even reach the central level. You are not trying to help me, you are clearly trying to harm me! "Beside the furnace, Mr. Mo said with an unhappy expression.
"Old man, don't be angry. We have known each other for many years. Don't you still understand me as a person? You will never joke about alchemy. And this little brother I invited has absolute soul power. It meets your requirements." Mr. Hang explained.
"Oh, really?"
After hearing Mr. Hang's explanation, Mr. Mo took a closer look at the young man next to him.
Seeing the gaze cast by the other party and the divine consciousness sweeping towards him, Shi Jiu did not hide his aura, and even took the initiative to emit a ray of soul power that filled his body.
"Huh? Old guy, it's true as you said. This little guy's soul power is not weak, no worse than those guys at the seventh level of Soul Realm. Even compared with me, the gap is not very big, but I just don't know that he is in the soul. How is the use of soul power? You must know that our alchemy pays more attention to the control and use of soul power." Beside the furnace, Mr. Mo nodded first, and then asked again, but this time the expression on his face was no longer unhappy. But surprised.
Obviously, the ray of soul power emitted by Shi Jiu shocked the other party.
A little guy in the Soul Realm actually possesses soul power comparable to that of a monk at the peak of the Soul Realm. This really shocked Mr. Mo, but deep down in his heart, he still didn't recognize Shi Jiu and had obvious doubts.
