Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 84 Xuan Shui Dan

Lin Xiao didn't stay for long. After coming out of the branch temple, he walked towards the college.

He was not surprised by what Sleepy Nightmare Douluo said. In the Holy Spirit Sect, this was considered true "cultivation". As long as they could improve their cultivation, they could kill without any burden.

Although Mingdu was brightly lit at night, there were still fewer pedestrians on the streets in the second half of the night. Lin Xiao avoided the attention of others and walked all the way to the gate of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Just as he stepped into the academy, another figure followed him.

The faint aura seemed familiar to Lin Xiao. He turned around and saw Shangguan Qing looking in his direction.

They exchanged glances, each holding their own understanding. They both knew each other's identities and could probably guess what the other person was doing after leaving the academy so late at night.

However, seeing this, Shangguan Qing hurried forward two steps and walked to Lin Xiao's side.

"I haven't seen you for a while."

"Ah."

Lin Xiao simply responded, and Shangguan Qing was not surprised by his behavior. "Recently, several evil spirit master strongholds were destroyed. I wonder if you have heard about it?"

"Evil Spirit Master Stronghold?" Lin Xiao turned to look at Shangguan Qing. He hadn't heard of this incident. After all, apart from obtaining his sixth spirit ring, he had been staying at the academy and hadn't heard much about it. Even when he returned to the Holy Spirit Sect branch, Sleeping Nightmare Douluo hadn't mentioned it.

They are probably just some ordinary evil soul masters, not members of the Holy Spirit Church.

Shangguan Qing looked at his expression and asked, "You don't know?"

"It has nothing to do with me." Lin Xiao shook his head.

"That's for the best. I was quite worried about you." Even after she'd revealed her true identity to Lin Xiao, Shangguan Qing's attitude remained largely unchanged. Unintentionally sparking other people's imaginations with her words and actions had become almost second nature.

"By the way, Sister Wei'er has found a batch of Xuanshui Pills recently. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Xuanshui Pill?" Lin Xiao looked at her strangely.

"Yes, you probably don't know what the Xuanshui Pill is yet, right?" Shangguan Qing saw that Lin Xiao seemed quite interested, and immediately moved closer.

"Mysterious Water Pill isn't something from our Sun Moon Continent. It came from Douluo Continent, and it has significant benefits for spirit masters. I heard it's made from the essence and blood of over a dozen water-attributed spirit beasts and dozens of water-attributed plants. It can not only boost a spirit master's spirit power, but it can also expel impurities from the body, nourish the meridians, and strengthen the body."

"This is a pill that can improve both soul power and physical fitness at the same time, and the medicinal effect is mild. No matter what level of cultivation a soul master has, it will see a significant improvement."

Shangguan Qing was still introducing the effects of the Xuanshui Pill to Lin Xiao, but she didn't know that Lin Xiao knew it better than her.

How could he not know what the Xuanshui Pill was used for? In addition to increasing soul power and improving physical fitness, the Xuanshui Pill was also a rare pill that could increase innate soul power.

For soul masters with the first level of innate soul power, the Xuanshui Pill can even increase the innate soul power by a whole level. Even for a soul master like him with good innate soul power, it can enhance his cultivation talent.

Innate soul power is closely related to the speed of meditation practice. Such elixirs are quite rare even in the three major empires. How could they be spread to the Sun and Moon Empire?

"Where did those Xuanshui Pills come from?"

Shangguan Qing blinked at Lin Xiao and chuckled softly, "I thought you weren't interested in anything. But it's okay to tell you. These things are all thanks to you. Do you remember what happened the last time you came to see Sister Wei'er?"

"Yes, I remember." "Thanks to you for telling us the whereabouts of that shipment, Sister Wei'er sent someone to contact the nobles of the Heavenly Soul Empire. During this time, we also had some transactions with the other three great empires."

Lin Xiao immediately understood. Shangguan Wei'er's judgment was correct. No one could easily escape the temptation of the two dragon ladies.

After all, soul masters with excellent talents are only a minority. Most people's cultivation talents are not satisfactory. Those nobles have already enjoyed power and wealth beyond ordinary people, but the only thing they cannot change is their cultivation talents.

Therefore, if you encounter something that can enhance your cultivation to a certain extent and induce a benign mutation in your martial soul, you will never let it go easily.

Obviously, Shangguan Weiler used this incident to establish contact with Douluo Continent.

As for being able to obtain the Xuanshui Pill from the Douling Empire, this did not surprise Lin Xiao. As long as the business of the Ordinary Alliance spread within a certain range, with the Xuanming Sect's unique martial spirit awakening method, it would be only a matter of time before they became customers of the Ordinary Alliance.

"How about it, do you want me to save a few of these Xuanshui Pills for you?"

Shangguan Qing looked at Lin Xiao expectantly.

Lin Xiao saw her expression and probably guessed something. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "What's the price?"

"Hey, Sister Wei'er specifically said that we won't talk about business with you, only about transactions."

Lin Xiao was still hesitant to speak.

He had spoken to Sleepy Nightmare Douluo about the Ordinary League before, and Sleepy Nightmare Douluo also intended for him to find out some news about the Ordinary League. Now was a good opportunity. Even if the Ordinary League really knew about the internal affairs of the Holy Spirit Church, he could use Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's arrangement as an excuse.

"What do you want to know?" Lin Xiao lowered his voice.

Shangguan Qing paused, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly. Ever since she last saw Shangguan Wei'er, she had been looking for Lin Xiao a lot, but Lin Xiao always seemed unmoved. Unexpectedly, she suddenly had an unexpected reward.

As expected, the evil soul master is not loyal at all. He doesn't speak only because the reward is not enough.

Putting his thoughts away, Shangguan Qing laughed again, "We won't take the initiative to pry into other people's news. If you have anything you want to share, just tell us."

Lin Xiao glanced at her and said, "Then let's wait until you bring the Xuanshui Pill. In addition, I also need a few locust wood cores that are more than a thousand years old."

"Sophora japonica?" Shangguan Qing glanced at Lin Xiao suspiciously. "Sophora japonica is yin in nature and is often associated with ghosts. What do you want this for?"

"Have you forgotten who I am?"

Lin Xiao didn't explain too much.

"Oh, we're in the academy here. I almost forgot you're from the Holy Spirit Church."

Lin Xiao didn't respond, but he completely disbelieved Shangguan Qing's story. He'd been constantly trying to get information about the Holy Spirit Cult from him, so how could he have forgotten Shangguan Qing's identity as an evil spirit master? Perhaps he was still asking because he wanted to get more information from him.

"Okay, I promise you, this is easy, much easier to find than the Xuanshui Pill. Well, it's getting late, I'll go back first. I'll come back to you another day when I find something good."

"Okay." Lin Xiao frowned slightly and watched Shangguan Qing disappear in the direction of the dormitory.
