Furthermore, although Alchemists made a lot of money, she didn't have that much time to search the entire continent for various medicinal ingredients.
The Mittel Auction House could perfectly solve these logistical problems of finding medicinal ingredients for her.
As long as Hai Bodong felt she was worth investing in, even if she didn't say anything, he would directly bring the Mittel Family to join her.
After obtaining the map and the other ingredients for refining the poe pill, Xiao Xue looked at Hai Bodong and asked, "Old Mister, this Junior plans to return to the Imperial Capital first."
"Will you wait for me here, or will you accompany me to the Imperial Capital?"
"I'll wait for you here," Hai Bodong said after some thought. "If I haven't recovered my strength and I'm exposed to the public eye, it will inevitably lead to some trouble."
Hearing this, Xiao Xue nodded nonchalantly. "Then Old Mister, this Junior will take her leave."
"Within two years, this Junior will deliver the poe pill to you."
Hai Bodong was naturally overjoyed. He personally saw Xiao Xue to the door and watched her summon her Dou Qi Wings to fly away, feeling deeply moved.
In a few more years, the Jia Ma Empire would likely see the rise of an extraordinary powerhouse.
———
On the other side, after Xiao Xue left Mo City, she didn't go directly to meet her eldest and second brothers. Instead, she found a secluded small cave and flew inside.
"A'li?" Xiao Xue retracted her Dou Qi Wings and called out softly.
A wisp of blue smoke drifted out from the storage ring, and A'li appeared beside Xiao Xue.
Xiao Xue gave a "jie jie jie" laugh. "A'li, what other good things do you have in your hand? Bring them out and let me see?"
"Um... there are only some useless trinkets left, none of which are suitable for you," A'li said, rubbing her ears.
Then, with a wave of her hand, a large pile of "useless trinkets" appeared on the ground.
It was clear that A'li really didn't place much importance on them, as all sorts of strange objects were piled together.
The most valuable things on A'li, besides her body in the stone coffin and the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, should be the Earth-rank Cultivation Method and Dou Techniques she practiced.
This silly child didn't know how to hide her treasures.
Refusing to give up, Xiao Xue took that pile of items and used Detect on them one by one.
As a result, more than ninety percent of the items were things that looked pretty but didn't have much use; their value as collectibles was greater than their practical use.
Until Xiao Xue picked up a wooden plaque engraved with the word "Soul." The plaque was made of an unknown wood, and after all these years, it surprisingly hadn't decayed.
Xiao Xue curiously used Detect on it, and the feedback she received was:
[Soul Hall Protector Token. Collect two tokens to unlock hidden plot.]
Xiao Xue: "!!!"
A Soul Hall Protector Token!
[Collect two tokens to unlock hidden plot.]
Xiao Xue hurriedly rummaged through the "trinkets" again and found another token of the same style.
Xiao Xue took a deep breath and used Detect:
[Ding! You have met the conditions to unlock the hidden plot. Would you like to view it?]
Xiao Xue directly chose to view it.
The next moment, the basic information of the Hall of Souls appeared before her eyes.
"So two tokens only tell me the basic information of the Hall of Souls. This is way too stingy," Xiao Xue complained in her heart.
However, despite her words, Xiao Xue still looked through it carefully.
The Hall of Souls was divided into three halls: Heaven, Earth, and Man, governed by the Heavenly Venerate. Below them, it was further divided into the Tiangang and Disha Halls, managed by Venerates.
Below that were the Protectors and Soul Emissaries, who were the errand runners and laborers.
However, even a Soul Hall Protector possessed the strength of a Dou Zong, and even the cannon fodder Soul Emissaries were at the level of Dou Wang and Dou Huang.
After Xiao Xue finished reading, she was somewhat speechless.
"This amount of information is pitifully small."
Xiao Xue glanced at the bottom right corner of the System interface. It showed that to unlock more hidden plots, 10 tokens were required.
She understood now. This was like going to a club for activities; the good wine, food, and tea were the minimum consumption, but the girls were an additional price.
Consequently, Xiao Xue rummaged through A'li's pile of "trinkets" again and found several more tokens.
Among them, she even found several "Venerate" tokens and a "Heavenly Venerate" token.
Xiao Xue couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed. This little fox A'li couldn't have dismantled a branch hall of the Hall of Souls in the past, right?!
Xiao Xue used Detect on the "Venerate" and "Heavenly Venerate" tokens, but the System prompted that her Rank was insufficient to view them.
To view the "Venerate" token, she needed to be at least Level 50, and for the "Heavenly Venerate" token, she needed to reach Level 70 to view it!
Helpless, Xiao Xue could only collect ten "Soul" tokens and used Detect again.
What she obtained was a coordinate:
[coordinate of a Hall of Souls Protector Branch Hall. It is recommended that the host go as a group after reaching Level 50.]
[coordinate: Cloud Mist Sect]
