"This is our Soul Palace's second Celestial Master, Dragon Gallbladder Douluo Yang Ziqi."
"Another Titled Douluo?"
Huo Yuan's eyes widened.
Even among the top three sects, not every one of them has two Titled Douluo, not to mention that Zhan Kaishan is a Titled Douluo with a 100,000-year spirit ring.
"Palace Master, I have bought everything you asked me to buy. I will go and help you clean up the room."
Without Xiao Mu's instructions, Huo Yuan took the initiative to find work to do.
She is becoming more and more confident about the future of the Soul Palace. With the strength of two Titled Douluo, even the Spirit Palace cannot underestimate it.
"Well, go ahead." Xiao Mu said.
There are several houses in the manor, among which the three-story main house is made entirely of stone. It looks simple and heavy, a bit like a small castle.
Xiao Mu chose a more spacious room and cleared out all the things inside.
"For now, let's use this place as an alchemy room. Get the Ten Thousand Souls Alchemy Furnace."
As Xiao Mu finished speaking, a pitch-black alchemy furnace that seemed to be surrounded by smoke appeared in the middle of the alchemy room.
[Wanhun Alchemy Furnace: A top-level alchemy furnace. When refining elixirs with this furnace, it will assist the alchemist in controlling the flames and harmonizing the medicinal properties, greatly increasing the success rate and yield of the elixir.]
"A very nice alchemy furnace."
Xiao Mu stroked the alchemy furnace with his hand and could feel the majestic and peaceful soul power from it. The alchemy furnace that seemed to be shrouded in smoke was actually the manifestation of the soul power contained within.
"Let's practice first."
Xiao Mu put the purchased herbs aside and picked out a few of them.
"Wind-walking grass, sun-returning grass, purple sun vine, dwarf umbrella..."
These are the medicinal materials used to refine the first-grade Soul-Breaking Pill. The Soul-Breaking Pill has only one function, which is to increase soul power.
From the first grade to the ninth grade, they correspond to the Soul Master to the Titled Douluo respectively. Each realm can only take one Soul-Breaking Pill, and taking more than that will be ineffective.
Bang~
The alchemy furnace opened, and the flames of nothingness surrounded it, causing the temperature of the entire room to rise suddenly.
Start the furnace and make the elixir.
Although it was his first time to refine the elixir, Xiao Mu seemed extremely skilled, as if he had practiced it many times.
The alchemy skills rewarded by the system include the refining methods of each kind of elixir, as well as the specific refining details, which are all engraved in Xiao Mu's mind.
When he started to refine the elixir, all kinds of knowledge emerged one by one, and his technique quickly became proficient.
Decomposing medicinal materials, extracting essence, fusing medicinal materials, and condensing them into pills are all done in one go.
Ding~
The lid of the alchemy furnace opened, Xiao Mu stretched out his hand, and five pills flew out of the furnace.
"One with three stripes, two with two stripes, and three with one stripe. Not bad."
The effects of the Soul-Breaking Pill vary depending on the cloud patterns on the pill. A one-pattern Soul-Breaking Pill is the lowest and can only increase soul power by one level, while a three-pattern Soul-Breaking Pill can increase soul power by three levels.
Xiao Mu was very satisfied with the result of his first time refining pills.
"Come again."
Xiao Mu felt the joy of alchemy. The moment the pill came out of the furnace, he was filled with pride.
For the second furnace, Xiao Mu planned to directly refine the third-grade Soul-Breaking Pill.
The medicinal herbs he bought this time could only be used to refine third-grade pills. The medicinal herbs used to refine higher-grade pills were relatively rare and were not available in the rejuvenation medicine shop.
Xiao Mu plans to visit the Haitang Pharmacy mentioned by Fang Baicao another day. Since Haitang Pharmacy has Nine-Leaf Fritillaria, he wonders how many other medicinal herbs of the same level there are.
Of course, Xiao Mu did not forget a treasure land not far from Tiandou City.
It would be a waste to swallow so many immortal herbs whole. Only by refining them into pills can their efficacy be tenfold or even a hundredfold.
When Xiao Mu opened the furnace again and refined the third-grade elixir, it was not as easy as refining the first-grade elixir.
It was no problem for him to refine third-grade elixirs with his soul power; what he lacked was experience and proficiency.
Xiao Mu was concentrating and even breathing more carefully.
An hour later, a scent of elixir wafted out from the cauldron and spread outside.
"This fragrance..." After Huo Yuan smelled the fragrance of the elixir, he felt that his soul power was subtly touched and had a tendency to increase.
Even though this feeling is very slight and cannot be felt at all without careful experience, it does exist.
Xiao Mu told them not to disturb him when he was refining the elixir. Huo Yuan didn't know what kind of elixir Xiao Mu was refining, but he could guess a thing just from the fragrance of the elixir.
"Could it be that the Palace Master can refine elixirs that can enhance soul power?" Huo Yuan guessed with some shock.
The way to improve soul power in Douluo Continent is relatively simple, and basically you can only rely on your own practice.
At most, you can increase your soul power when obtaining soul rings and absorbing soul bones.
But soul bones are rare, and only a few people can possess them.
If the Soul Palace could refine elixirs that could increase soul power, it would definitely cause a sensation throughout the Douluo Continent.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as it succeeded."
Xiao Mu looked at the only pill in his hand and said.
This batch of third-grade Soul-Breaking Pills only produced one pill, and it was a Soul-Breaking Pill with only a thin cloud pattern on it.
The successful refining was thanks to Xiao Mu's powerful soul power and the auxiliary effect of the Ten Thousand Souls Alchemy Furnace.
The success in refining the third-grade Soul-Breaking Pill this time made Xiao Mu full of confidence in his success next time.
Half an hour later, the pills were ready and the furnace was opened. Three round pills flew out, one of which had two cloud patterns on it.
"Not bad, not bad. Come again."
The joy of alchemy cannot be explained to outsiders. At least Xiao Mu thinks that alchemy is more interesting than any game. The moment the elixir is ready, the sense of accomplishment is greater than simply drawing gold.
…
At night, three figures were hurrying on the road outside the manor.
Suddenly, one of them stopped.
"Wait, do you smell anything special?"
"A special smell? No."
"Smell carefully. Just now, a strange fragrance came into my nose, and my soul power suddenly increased a little." The man said.
"Ah? Could it be your illusion?" his companion said
"It's not an illusion, I smell it too." Another companion's face showed an obsessed look.
The three of them tried hard to identify the source of the fragrance, and finally looked towards the location of the manor.
"The fragrance is coming from here."
In the darkness of the night, the three men's eyes were filled with intense greed.
"Someone in this manor must have obtained some rare treasure that can enhance their soul power."
"What should we do?"
"How do we do it? We can't let go of such a good thing. How about we three brothers split it equally?"
Although they have not yet found the source of this strange fragrance, the three have already started discussing how to divide it.
The three of them are soul masters without any backing, which is equivalent to independent cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. They have done all kinds of things, from fraud to murder and arson, and have no psychological burden about snatching treasures from others.
"Be careful, let's go in and take a look."
"Once we find this heavenly treasure with a strange fragrance, no one here can be left alive."
"I see. This isn't the first time we've done this. We're very familiar with it."
The three of them planned to circle the manor to see where it would be more appropriate to sneak in.
When they arrived at the front of the manor, the three of them raised their eyes at the same time and looked at the plaque of the Soul Palace.
The plaque was completely black, without any light in the dark night, but the words "Soul Hall" deeply attracted their attention.
