Battle Through The Heavens: Grand World

Soong Yintong didn't answer Xiao Yan's question directly. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice. Soong Rui was his grandson. He was only ten years old, and he had great talent in alchemy. He was happy to teach him, but he did not feel good about it.    

Even in these few prefectures, Soong Yintong's skill in alchemy could be counted on one hand. Otherwise, the Su family's master wouldn't have asked Su Qiuye to come out of the mountain again and again, but to instruct a ten year old child was useless.    

"When I was at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion just now, I sensed something. This is the first time I have seen a ten-year-old child refining a Fifth Rank Medicine Pill. This is the first time I have seen this kind of talent. "    

Xiao Yan laughed bitterly. He could not help but click his tongue in wonder. Back in the Spirit Heaven Mansion's Pill Refining Competition, even monstrous geniuses like Lih Xuan, Xiao Yue, and the others had risked their lives to refine a tier four Medicine Pill in order to become the champion. But now, a ten year old child had such a technique. Although he wasn't very familiar with it, it was enough to make countless people blush with shame.    

"Soong Rui's talent is indeed rarely seen in ten thousand years. If possible, he might even be comparable to those big shots in the alchemy world in the future. But now. . . I can't give him any guidance. . . "    

He sighed. Soong Yintong's face showed some pain. His grandson was like a piece of jade, but he didn't have an exquisite knife in his hand.    

"It's because. . . My soul power doesn't match. "    

Xiao Yan's expression was calm as he suddenly spoke. The first time he met Soong Rui, he had sensed that this little boy was different from the other alchemists he had met. There seemed to be a slight change in his soul, causing ordinary alchemy techniques to be useless to him.    

"Incompatible?"    

Soong Yintong was startled. After which, he looked at Xiao Yan with a strange expression. "What do you mean?"    

"I once followed a master alchemist to cultivate, and I have a slight understanding of soul power. Logically speaking, within the soul force of the original inhabitants of the great world. . . Compared to the soul force of the lower realm Three Steps Soul Transfer, there is a hint of perfect compatibility. After all, the soul power of the lower realms had undergone mutation. There were some flaws, but it was also because of these flaws. That's why our soul force is slightly stronger than yours. "    

Xiao Yan spoke frankly and confidently. These were all things Elder Yee had told him in the past. His original intention was to let him differentiate the difference between the soul power of the Three Steps Soul Transfer and that of the soul power of the original inhabitants of the Great World.    

"This. . . "    

Soong Yintong widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yan with an increasingly surprised look. Medicine Lord had roughly mentioned the difference between the two types of soul power, but for various reasons, he hadn't told Medicine Lord about it in detail. Now that he heard Xiao Yan's words, he couldn't help but feel surprised.    

"What you said doesn't match. . . You mean that Soong Rui's soul power doesn't belong to the Great World, but is the same as the soul power after the Three Steps Soul Transfer?"    

After regaining his senses, Soong Yintong let out a cold snort, his face showing some displeasure.    

"I didn't say that, but it might be because of his extraordinary talent. This kind of soul power can be used to concoct pills that far exceeds alchemists of the same grade, but it's not that simple to master it. "    

Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders, appearing extremely mysterious and unfathomable.    

"You have a way?"    

Upon hearing this, Soong Yintong instantly perked up, his small face full of hope.    

"It can't be considered a method. It's just some experience and experience of concocting pills by yourself. "    

Xiao Yan smiled and said vaguely.    

"If you can let Soong Rui cross this hurdle, you can have as many herbs as you want in Medicine City!"    

Grabbing Xiao Yan's shoulder, Soong Yintong gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. His expression was even somewhat ferocious.    

"Then I won't be polite. "    

Xiao Yan was delighted. Soong Yintong's promise was much bigger than what he had imagined.    

Under Soong Yintong's lead, Xiao Yan saw this handsome little boy once again. The White Dragon Condor had yet to recover from its injuries. When it saw Xiao Yan, a trace of fear appeared in its eyes. It couldn't help but scream and wanted to fly away.    

"Why haven't you left yet?"    

Soong Rui was about to get angry, but when he saw Soong Yintong standing at the side, he suppressed the urge to curse and said with an unhappy expression.    

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to speak, Soong Yintong had already strode forward and touched the forehead of the White Dragon Eagle to calm it down. Then, he looked at Soong Rui and said with a gloomy expression. "Now Xiao Yan is here to guide you in alchemy. Don't be so rude!"    

"Him? Teach me?"    

Soong Rui raised his eyebrows and sneered. Grandpa, don't tease me. Does he still have your skill in alchemy?"    

"He has his own specialties. Cut the crap and go refine a Fifth Rank Medicine Pill immediately. Let Xiao Yan see where the problem lies. "    

Soong Yintong coldly harrumphed. Soong Yintong pulled a long face and Soong Rui quickly shut his mouth. He didn't say anything else and just looked at Xiao Yan with disdain. After that, he angrily walked towards the small wooden house where the Xiao Yans were being concocted.    

Seeing that Soong Rui was preparing to concoct the pill, Soong Yintong nodded at Xiao Yan and said with a serious expression. "It's all up to you now. "    

Xiao Yan nodded silently. He walked to the small wooden house and sat down on the ground. He looked at Soong Rui in front of him without saying a word. The latter quickly entered the state of refining the Medicine Cauldron. His expression was serious as his two small hands quickly changed. He controlled the flame within the Medicine Cauldron in front of him.    

"Indeed. . . "    

Spiritual strength surged out from between his brows. Under the circumstances where he did not disturb Soong Rui's pill refinement, Xiao Yan quickly sensed a unique feeling within the latter's Spiritual Strength. This feeling was quite similar to the Spiritual Strength after the Three Steps Soul Transfer.    

"This is strange. This kind of soul mutation is really rare. "    

Looking at Soong Rui's skillful concoction technique, Xiao Yan sighed in his heart, but at the same time, he was also surprised and bewildered. In the countless books in Yunluo Academy, he had never seen a few examples of soul mutation. The soul mutation of other people was even more perfect, but this child in front of him had a trace of imperfection in his soul energy.    

Soong Yintong quietly watched from the side. With his majestic soul power, he was like a high and mighty existence, observing Xiao Yan and Soong Rui's soul power clearly. He couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart.    

The courtyard was extremely quiet. There was only the sound of burning fire, accompanied by the sound of medicinal herbs shattering, and the smell of medicinal herbs filled the air.    

About an hour later, Soong Rui's expression suddenly became solemn. He moved his ten fingers, urging the Origin Qis in his body to surge wildly toward the embryonic Medicine Pill in the Cauldron. Within the black Medicine Cauldron, a layer of faint purple color quickly covered the surface of a black Medicine Pill.    

"Buzz!"    

In the next moment, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded. Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, looking at it with his sharp eyes. Soong Rui's forehead was covered in sweat. He gritted his teeth and endured for a moment before helplessly giving up. His soul force was dispirited as he withdrew it. The embryonic Medicine Pill that was about to take shape also ended in failure, and was sent out by the Medicine Cauldron.    

"Hu. . . Hu. . . Hu. . . "    

Soong Rui panted heavily as he sat on the ground. His small face was covered in sweat and his eyes were filled with doubt. He was obviously about to succeed, but his glabella was like a needle piercing through it. His soul energy could not withstand it and could only helplessly withdraw.    

"How is it?"    

Soong Yintong's facial expression changed. He looked at Xiao Yan and spoke in an urgent tone.    

Xiao Yan thought for a while and looked at Soong Yintong. He hesitated and said, "My control of soul power is too weak, and I am not flexible enough. If you want to improve it, I have an idea, but. . . I need you to make some sacrifices, City Lord Soong. "
