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

"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?"

"Yeah, I still remember it."

"Thanks to you telling us the whereabouts of that batch of goods, Sister Wei'er sent people to contact the nobles of the Tianhun Empire. During this period, we have also had some transactions with the other three 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.

Chapter 85 Senior Lin

Downstairs in the dormitory, Shangguan Qing glanced around and seeing that there was no one around, he turned around and walked out of the college.

Not until her figure disappeared did a translucent shadow slowly emerge from the wall beside her.

In the room, Lin Xiao, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, as if thinking about something.

Shangguan Qing's actions did not escape his notice. Although they had said they would meet in a while when they parted, he could guess from her actions that the Ordinary Alliance still valued him very much.

However, it is also true that due to the existence of the soul-raising ritual, the Holy Spirit Cult has entered the underground market of Mingdu for such a long time, but the Ordinary Alliance still knows very little about the Holy Spirit Cult. Apart from knowing that they are evil soul masters, they know nothing about them. The methods they used to deal with others before are no longer effective, so Shangguan Wei'er is naturally a little anxious.

Now that he finally met Lin Xiao, a disciple of the Holy Spirit Sect who had relaxed a little, he would naturally take him seriously.

For Lin Xiao, this was also a good opportunity. Because of his influence, the Ordinary Alliance's business scope was far wider than he remembered. With the endorsement of Nightmare Douluo behind him, he could contact the Ordinary Alliance with confidence.

Moreover, by trading information, he can get a lot of what he wants without paying almost anything. This is a sure-win business no matter how you look at it.

However, another thing Shangguan Qing mentioned also concerned Lin Xiao. Many evil spirit master strongholds had been destroyed. Why did this sound like something the Shrek Supervisory Group had done? Could they have all come to the Sun-Moon Empire?

Forget it.

Lin Xiao's thoughts proved fruitless, and he stopped dwelling on it. Regardless of who they were, and whether or not they would provoke the Holy Spirit Instructor, it didn't matter much to him in the academy.

Instead of thinking about these things, it’s better to think about how to approach Nana.

Since he had agreed to this from Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, he naturally had to take action. However, he needed to contact her without letting others know that he had other intentions, so he had to plan carefully.

"Sister Nana, come on!"

The next morning, the Soul Guidance Experimental Area of ​​the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy was as bustling as usual. On the ring, the Control Department Soul Guidance Engineers had already begun their actual combat. Next to one of the rings, a group of freshmen gathered together, cheering in unison.

Lin Xiao came to the soul guide test area as usual, but did not test the soul guide device immediately. Instead, he came to the arena and watched the fight between the students.

There are many students like him around. Some of them come to watch other people's competitions to seek improvement, while others just come here to watch the fun.

Some people still remembered the battle between Lin Xiao and Ji Juechen. They recognized him and came up to talk to him excitedly.

Lin Xiao glanced across the ring and saw the first and second soul rings around Nana light up alternately. Her speed instantly increased, and her figure split into three, rushing towards the opponent in three directions.

The student on the opposite side didn't even see Nana's movements clearly before he was hit by the dagger in her hand. He had no choice but to admit defeat and jump off the ring.

"Sister Nana, Sister Nana!"

Suddenly, another round of cheers came from the group of freshmen.

"If you want to fight, I'll accompany you."

Lin Xiao was watching when suddenly a voice sounded behind him. He turned around and saw Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan walking towards him together.

"No, I just ran out of inspiration for improving the soul guide, so I thought of coming over to take a look." Lin Xiao waved his hand to refuse.

Ji Juechen took two more steps forward, and the disciples beside him hurriedly made way, not even daring to look at him, for fear that they would be dragged onto the stage if they looked any longer.

"That junior girl's name seems to be Nana. She defeated two second-year students within a few days of enrolling. She's quite famous among the freshmen." Jing Ziyan followed Lin Xiao's gaze towards the arena. "But I don't know what her martial spirit is. It seems to be related to shadows or something like that."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. If one had never dealt with spirits before, it would be difficult for the average person to discern Nana's martial spirit simply by looking at her in combat.

Moreover, she only has two soul skills now. When she gains more ghost-related abilities in the future, it will be easier for her to make judgments.

"good."

Ji Juechen nodded slightly and uttered only two words, not knowing who he was evaluating. Then he nodded at Lin Xiao and walked towards the ring on the side.

"Sorry, he has always been like this, and he has an appointment with someone else today." Jing Ziyan followed behind him and apologized to Lin Xiao.

"It's okay. I know him."

Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head, watching the people in front of Ji Juechen automatically make way.

Ever since Ji Juechen fought with him last time and had a deep meditation, the sword intent in him was not as sharp as before, but like a sharp sword hidden in a scabbard, the more he was like this, the more people were afraid of him. During this period, his reputation became even more famous.

"Senior Lin, you are Senior Lin, right?"

The disciple who had just been defeated by Nana seemed to have noticed the commotion here and squeezed through the crowd to come over.

"you know me?"

The disciple scratched his head and said, "No, I just heard other seniors mention you. They said you defeated Senior Ji in the ring with just one move."

When mentioning Ji Juechen, the disciple's voice lowered, and no one knew what kind of image Ji Juechen had in his mind.

"It was just luck. A win or loss doesn't mean anything."

"Then Senior Lin, can you tell me why I lost just now? I didn't even recognize her martial spirit."

Lin Xiao glanced towards the ring and saw that a lot of people were attracted here because of Ji Juechen just now. Even Nana on the ring looked at him.

"You're a little too concerned about her martial spirit. In fact, when fighting with an opponent, you don't necessarily need to fully understand the opponent's martial spirit. You just need to judge the general type of the opponent's martial spirit."

Lin Xiao didn't refuse and spoke gently, "Obviously, when facing a spirit master of the Agility Attack type and you can't judge the direction of her attack, the most important thing is to be well protected and not lose your composure."

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, the disciple scratched his head embarrassedly again.

Lin Xiao didn't think it was a big deal. After all, they were just kids and they didn't have much practical experience. It was natural for them to be nervous in the ring, and it was reasonable for them to make these mistakes.

"And for spirit masters of the agile attack system, they cannot simply pursue speed." Lin Xiao said and looked up at the arena.

"In team battles, the role of agile attack-type spirit masters is to raid the opponent's weak points and contain the opponent. However, to achieve this, in addition to speed, they also need a certain amount of attack power."

"Of course, Control-type Soul Masters can use Soul Guidance Devices to make up for the lack of attack power of Agility-type Soul Masters, but the accuracy of the attack can only be achieved through practice by the Soul Master himself."

Lin Xiao looked at Nana who was thinking about something on the ring and laughed.

Chapter 86: One Step Behind

"Senior, can I ask you for advice?"

On the ring, Nana obviously heard Lin Xiao's comments and clasped her fists towards him.

"No, the gap in strength between us is too great." Lin Xiao shook his head. "Even if I could restrain myself from using my full strength, the gap in vision and combat experience between us can't be easily bridged. You won't learn anything from fighting me."

Lin Xiao looked around again, said no more, and just turned and left.

"I can't believe you're quite popular with these girls." Shangguan Qing had been waiting for a while not far behind Lin Xiao. "But who would have thought that Senior Lin, who is so approachable, would actually be..."

Lin Xiao glanced at her, and Shangguan Qing immediately stopped talking and didn't say anything else.

"Did you bring everything?"

"The pills are already here." Shangguan Qing glanced around and saw that there were many students nearby, so he didn't explain too much. "It's just that the materials you want are gone."

"Ok?"

Seeing Lin Xiao's puzzled look, Shangguan Qing continued to explain, "Not only the Ordinary Alliance, but even the better quality locust wood cores from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce have been bought up."

"You know this kind of thing is mostly used in places related to souls, and the demand is not that high, so we don't have much in stock on a normal day. I really can't get it for you in a short time."

"Do you know who bought it?"

Shangguan Qing shook his head. "I was just wondering, with so many requests, could it be one of your people?"

Lin Xiao thought about it and felt a bit unsure. The locust tree was also known as the ghost tree. He wanted the locust wood core to store residual souls. There weren't many soul masters who regularly interacted with souls, and most of them happened to be in the Holy Spirit Church.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao glanced at Shangguan Qing again, "I don't know either. There haven't been any related missions in the sect recently. If it was really done by someone in the sect, it must have been his personal need."

Shangguan Qing listened to Lin Xiao's words and nodded thoughtfully, "By the way, although I don't have that locust wood core, I brought several metals with similar properties, as well as the elixir you requested."

As he spoke, Shangguan Qing handed over a storage soul guide, and judging by his gesture, he seemed to be giving it to Lin Xiao as well. With the power of the Ordinary Alliance, they could make a storage soul guide themselves, and in their eyes, it wasn't that valuable.

"What do you want to know?"
