There was a spacious room at the back of the spirit hall. The floor was covered with a thick carpet, and the walls were engraved with many exquisite cordyceps patterns. In the middle of the room was an incense burner burning with precious fragrant grass. The room was comfortably warm, and the gemstones at the top were shining.
Zha Lin was wearing a gold-stamped alchemist uniform, with three spiritual herbs embroidered on his shoulder. This was the symbol of a Third Sky of Spirit Grade alchemist.
Being one of the managers of the Spirit Hall, Zha Lin usually stayed in the Spirit Hall to manage the running of the hall. At this moment, he was lying on the tiger-skin armchair with an arrogant face, coldly looking at the two First Sky of Spirit Realm warriors in front of him. His face was impatient.
These two Spirit Realm warriors wanted him to refine pellets for them, but the reward wasn't generous enough. Zha Lin was a little discontented.
Zha Lin had just entered the Spirit Realm with the help of pellets. His realm wasn't high, and his power wasn't as strong as the other two. However, because of his alchemist identity, he was confident, and he wasn't afraid that they wouldn't obey him.
"You guys should go back. Without three Silver Star Grasses, I won't help you." Zha Lin waved his hand, snorting impatiently. "Wait until you guys have collected the Silver Star Grasses. If I have free time, I will consider refining the Fierce Gold Pellet for you. Now, please get out."
The two First Sky of Spirit Realm warriors were dispirited. They sighed begrudgingly, shaking their heads as they prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, a guard hurried over. He didn't have time to greet, walking directly to Zha Lin and calling him. "Teacher, look at this."
Zha Lin frowned, snorted, and scolded him. "You don't have any rules."
As he spoke, he took the token and flipped it over to take a look at it before his expression changed abruptly. He suddenly sat up straight and shouted, "Where did this token come from?"
"A young man came with this token," said the guard with a respectful face.
Zha Lin jumped out of the chair, pulling the guard out of the room, heading straight to the hall of the Spirit Hall.
"That little brother?" The guard pointed at Shi Yan from a distance.
Zha Lin's face suddenly beamed with a flattering smile. He carefully handed the token to ShiYan and then said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Shi Yan was surprised. He nodded and said, "I want to find the owner of the token."
Zha Lin's eyes brightened. He asked carefully, "What's the relationship between you and Elder Li? Why is Elder Li's token in your hands? "
"I don't know him, but he owes me a favor. I want to see him and ask him for a favor." Shi Yan said indifferently.
Zha Lin's face was aghast as he exclaimed, "You mean, Elder Li owes you a favor?"
Shi Yan nodded again.
Charlie had an incredulous expression on his face. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "When Elder Li returned the last time, he announced that he would not refine pills for anyone for the time being. He also forbade us from disturbing him. It's not convenient for us to contact him now. How about …"
"How is it?"
"You can take this badge and go to the Soaring Clouds Peak directly. Pass the message through Elder Li's disciple and see if Elder Li will receive you."
"Where's the Soaring Clouds Peak?"
There were nearly one thousand mountains in the Dead Soul Mountain, big or small. They were scattered all over the place. One mountain might be ten days away from the other. If one didn't know the exact location, he would have to rely on his luck to look for it. Who knew how long it would take?
"Wait a minute. I want to see if I can take you to the Soaring Clouds Peak myself." Zha Lin pondered for a while, then took out a Sound Stone and whispered to Shi Yan. He seemed to be asking if the Spirit Hall needed him or not.
Inside the Spirit Hall, there were many alchemists and strong warriors coming and going. Many of them knew Charlie's identity. Seeing him flatter Shi Yan, they were surprised. They quietly paid attention to him, trying to guess Shi Yan's identity.
"Who is he? Why does Zha Lin treat him so carefully? It's strange. Zha Lin is one of the Spirit Hall's Managers. He has a noble status in the Spirit Potion Valley. Even if the important characters of the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Temple come here, Zha Lin wouldn't fawn on them like that. "
"I don't know. I've never seen this man before. From his attire, he doesn't look like an alchemist."
"Strange. I've asked Zha Lin many times to refine a Tranquilizing Spirit Pellet for me, but he hasn't agreed. I'm at the Spirit Realm, and that kid has only the Sky Realm. Did Zha Lin eat the wrong medicine?"
"Ghost knows."
"…"
The onlookers discussed in a low voice. They were surprised, looking at Shi Yan, trying to guess his real identity.
Zha Lin talked to the Sound Stone for a while, then shook his head with a disappointed face. He said to Shi Yan, "I'm sorry. I can't leave for a while. If you're not hurried, can you wait for half a month? After half a month, I can take you to the Soaring Clouds Peak myself. What do you think? "
Shi Yan shook his head.
Zha Lin beamed a forced smile. He contemplated for a while and then said, "How about I ask my best disciple to take you there? She knows the location of the Soaring Clouds Peak."
"Okay."
Hearing him agree, Zha Lin cheered up. He immediately called the Sound Stone. "Cherry, come here quickly!"
Not long after that, a quiet woman wearing a long blue dress came from a shop not far from them. Her deep blue eyes were a little bit discontented. "Teacher, why did you call me here so hurriedly? I was discussing the price of the Five-colored Ghost Face Flower. We're about to trade. "
This woman had long chestnut-colored hair draped over her shoulders, reaching her waist. Her eyes were like sapphires, sparkling with a brilliant blue light.
As soon as she appeared, many alchemists and warriors in the Spirit Hall had their eyes brightened, gazing at her.
This woman had a symbol of five spiritual herbs on her ample left breast, which meant she was a Level 5 Spirit Grade alchemist. Besides, she was also a Second Sky of Sky Realm warrior.
"Cherry, take this little brother to the Soaring Clouds Peak," Zha Lin lowered his voice, giving his order seriously.
"The Soaring Clouds Peak?" Cherry's blue eyes brightened, looking at Shi Yan with surprise. Then, she nodded slowly. "Got it."
"Yeah, this little brother should be new to the Dead Soul Mountain range. Don't neglect him. On the way, introduce the situation of the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley to him," ordered Zha Lin.
Cherry smiled and nodded. She was generous, just like a simple but elegant orchid.
"Thank you," Shi Yan bent his body, smiling brightly.
"Don't mention it." Cherry nodded subtly, her blue eyes showing her interest. She gazed at Shi Yan for a while and then asked, "Do you want to depart now?"
"Yes."
"Alright, you should go with me now. The Soaring Clouds Peak is in the Southeast corner of the Dead Soul Mountain range. It's a distance from the Spirit Potion Valley. We need four days to reach the Soaring Clouds Peak." Cherry thought for a while and then said, "It's going to be night. You have to be careful. In the Dead Soul Mountain range, dead souls will come out at night to harm people. Don't let them corrode your soul."
"Okay."
"Then let's go."
…
Late at night, the bright moon shone brightly.
Cherry was wearing a blue dress. Under the moonlight, a pair of misty blue wings opened on her back. She looked like an elf in the night, flying in the sky.
Shi Yan followed her, looking at her with surprise. He paid special attention to the blue wings on her back.
As if she had sensed his gaze, Cherry beamed a faint smile, turning her head to him. "This Soaring Wings is a Spirit Grade secret treasure. I've asked a blacksmith in the Precious Tool Valley to refine it for me. The Soaring Wings can increase my flying speed and also attack. Like this."
Streaks of misty blue cold light shot out from the blue wings like steel needles, and they left thumb-sized holes in the surrounding rock walls of the mountain peaks.
"Not a bad secret treasure," Shi Yan complimented. "Very exquisite."
Cherry smiled faintly. "This Blue Soaring Wings isn't really a powerful secret treasure. The blacksmiths of the Precious Tool Valley have refined so many incredible treasures that we can't even count. Some of them even have Soul Consciousness. That's what we call really dangerous."
Shi Yan nodded.
"Oh right, why do you want to go to the Flying Cloud Summit?" Cherry was curious. "As far as I know, precursor Li of the Flying Cloud Summit is one of the five Grand Elders of the Spirit Hall. He seldom comes to the Spirit Potion Valley. He always refines pellets in the Flying Cloud Summit. He doesn't have many disciples. He's too arrogant. We haven't met him for several years. He's really mysterious."
"Elder of the Spirit Hall …" Shi Yan was surprised. "Is the Spirit Hall also a force of warriors?"
"Not really," Cherry shook her head. "The Spirit Hall is built by the five Sacred Level alchemists. It's just to manage the Spirit Potion Valley, which makes it convenient for the outsiders to trade with the alchemists. The five Grand Elders don't participate in the daily business of the Spirit Hall. They rarely come to the Spirit Hall. They just symbolically come to the Spirit Hall for one or two days to explain the principles of refining pellets to the alchemists of the Spirit Potion Valley. The Spirit Hall doesn't restrict the alchemists, nor does it care about the warriors who come here. It's just a convenient place for people to trade. It provides a chance for both sides to meet and discuss. However, it doesn't care about the details of the transactions, and it doesn't charge any fees. "
"This Spirit Hall isn't bad," Shi Yan smiled. "Are you a guard of the Spirit Hall?"
"Yes," Cherry nodded. Cherry nodded. "We're the Hall Guards of the Spirit Hall. We'll follow our teacher to manage the affairs of the Spirit Hall. Although we can't earn any crystals, it's convenient for us. That's why we're willing to take this responsibility."
"What's the benefit?"
"The manager of the Spirit Hall can ask the five Grand Elders one question on refining pellets every year. Guards like us, when the Grand Elders come here, we can listen to their conversation. Of course, it requires two Grand Elders to come here at the same time. Moreover, they should be interested in discussing their experiences in refining pellets. "
While Cherry was talking, she seemed to be fascinated. After she finished, she looked dispirited. "What a pity. I've been a guard for five years, but I've never had such a good chance. The five Sacred Level Elders rarely come to the Spirit Potion Valley together. Even if they do, they just greet each other and then leave. We can't wait for any chance. "
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
While Cherry was talking, a strange whistling sound arose in Shi Yan's head.
Shi Yan was astounded, his face astounded.
The Five Devils, which had been dormant for a long time, seemed to be awakened at this moment.
