"Xiao Yan, if I am not wrong, this thing should be the Soul Stone Iron Scroll that is rarely mentioned in the ancient books."
Xiao Ming's surprised voice entered Xiao Yan's ears, causing the latter's expression to change.
The Soul Stone Metal Scroll was a mysterious item that was rarely recorded even in the ancient books. Xiao Ming had only learned about it from Xiao Mingyuan in his early years. Although the latter was rather lazy in his training, he had a vast understanding of matters related to alchemy. It was just that Xiao Ming did not expect that they would actually come across a legendary treasure that even Xiao Mingyuan yearned for.
When it came to the Soul Stone Metal Scroll, Xiao Yan was fortunate enough to learn a thing or two about it from a couple of ancient books within the Xiao clan. However, he had only focused on investigating the things within the metal scroll and had neglected the metal scroll itself. Now that he was looking at it again, the densely packed ancient symbols carved on it were arranged in an orderly manner. From the looks of some of the unique symbols on it, this metal scroll in front of him should undoubtedly be the legendary Soul Stone Metal Scroll.
The Soul Stone Metal Scroll was an extremely rare Soul Skill secret scroll that usually only existed in the records of ancient books. The reason why it was called this was because this Soul Stone Metal Scroll was mostly created by powerful alchemist grandmasters using their Spiritual Strength and special materials to create it. This kind of metal scroll usually existed as a set. If there was really a high class Soul Skill within it, there would at least be two scrolls. If a person who did not understand it used an ordinary method to investigate it, the result would usually be the same as the one that Xiao Yan had obtained. However, if one was able to investigate the reason behind it, one might perhaps obtain an unexpected gain.
"If there are two scrolls or more than two Yi class Soul Skills, it is not a bad deal to exchange two high grade rank 7 Pill Formulas for them …"
Xiao Yan quietly calculated in his heart and made up his mind. He immediately lifted his eyes and looked at the old man on the opposite side of the stone platform, who had his eyes shut in concentration. He parted his mouth and said.
"May I know if elder can tell me the rank of the Soul Skill in this iron scroll?"
The old man's shut old eyes were once again opened when he heard this. His mind was slightly surprised when he saw the calm expression on Xiao Yan's face. His eyes swiftly looked to Xiao Ming behind Xiao Yan. His heart seemed to have understood something when he saw the grayish-white eyes of the child.
"It seems that this old man has underestimated you. This mister is an expert."
The old man nodded slightly at Xiao Yan. Then, he turned his turbid eyes back to Xiao Yan.
"This old man's offer isn't low, but I won't let you down. What you see is a mid-grade Intent Rank Soul Skill."
"Middle Level Intent!"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, but a huge wave had already formed in his heart. Compared to high class Dou Skills, high class Soul Skills on the continent were even rarer. A high class Soul Skill could even be exchanged for a tier 8 medicinal pill. Although the Heart Shattering Palm that he had mastered could similarly shatter one's spirit, it was ultimately still lacking compared to the surprise nature of Soul Skills. If he could obtain this Soul Stone Metal Scroll, he would be able to add two Yi class Soul Skills to his body. It would also be a great boost to Xiao Yan's fighting strength.
But now …
Xiao Yan's finger gently tapped on the stone table in front of him. His pitch-black eyes moved as if he was thinking about something. After a long while, he slowly shook his head and said,
"Old mister, although a mid-grade Intent Rank Soul Skill is valuable, it is still only a mid-grade Intent Rank Soul Skill."
After saying that, Xiao Yan turned his palm and took out a scroll and a jade bottle from his Storage Ring.
He said, "I have a scroll with the pill formula for the Seven Lives Suspension Pill and two medicinal pills. What do you think about it?"
"Think about it? Haha, you don't have to trick me with these things. You and I are well aware of the value of this Metal Scroll. If you really want to take it, you'd better take out something of real value. "
Hearing this, the old man curled the corners of his mouth and revealed a mocking smile. Then, he crossed his arms and sat back down with his eyes closed.
"If you feel that you have lost out, you can leave on your own."
After saying that, the old man returned to his previous posture. He was too lazy to bother with Xiao Yan in front of him. Only the latter frowned slightly and stared at the Soul Stone Iron Scroll in front of him. There was a slight hesitation in his expression.
"Forget it."
A short moment later, Xiao Yan appeared to have made up his mind. He sighed and flipped his hand once again. Another jade bottle appeared in his hand. The instant he opened it, a wave of searing, rich medicinal fragrance immediately spread swiftly around the area.
The spread of the medicinal fragrance attracted the attention of quite a number of passersby around them. The old man in front of Xiao Yan threw a gaze that was filled with shock over the moment the jade bottle was opened. Although the shock merely lasted for an instant, it was still captured in the eyes of Xiao Yan, who was carefully observing.
"I believe that old mister has heard of the Earth Spirit Quenching Flame Pill?"
Xiao Yan smiled and spoke in a relaxed manner.
"Earth Spirit Quenching Flame Pill!"
Hearing this, the expression on the old man's face changed once again. He had naturally heard of this mysterious medicinal pill that was revered by countless alchemists. However, he did not expect that this medicinal pill, which was only passed down in legends, would actually appear in front of him today.
"I can use this Earth Spirit Quenching Flame Pill and the Seven Lives Suspending Bone Pill formula in exchange."
The excitement on the old man's face became even denser when he heard Xiao Yan's words. If he was able to obtain the 'Ground Spirit Quenching Flame Pill', it would definitely raise his achievements in the path of alchemy. However, this old man was ultimately a shrewd old man. When he saw the medicinal pill in front of him, the emotion that had become increasingly great in his heart was forcefully suppressed. He turned his old eyes and once again sat back down.
He laughed and said, "The collection in young friend's hands has indeed surprised this old man. However … medicinal pills are after all only medicinal pills. No matter how many there are, there will come a time when they are exhausted. Moreover, you only have one medicinal pill. If young friend is willing to add the Earth Spirit Quenching Flame Pill formula, you can have this metal scroll."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled. Immediately, displeasure appeared on his face. That pill formula was a remnant of the Fire Banyan Tribe. If he casually gave it away, it would go against the trust of the Huo Rong siblings. No matter what, he could not easily take it out. Immediately, he shook his head with a regretful face and said,
"I only obtained this Earth Spirit Quenching Flame Pill by luck. I don't have the pill formula in my hands. What I said just now is also my bottom line. If elder is still dissatisfied, this junior is not willing to force it."
After saying these words, he stood up without hesitation and kept the jade bottle in his hand. He turned his head and exchanged glances with Xiao Ming and Xiao Yan behind him. He shook his head slightly and ignored the old man's reluctant expression as he lifted his leg and left.
Seeing Xiao Yan leave so decisively, a struggling expression immediately appeared on the old man's face. The price had already reached this point. At this moment, both parties knew that they were competing in patience. Whoever could last until the end would be the final winner. Even if the old man did not sell, there would still be an endless stream of passersby coming forward to inquire. However, once he missed the Earth Spirit Quenching Flame Pill, he was afraid that he would not have it in his life …
"Ah!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan's group was about to disappear into the crowd, the old man finally clenched his teeth hatefully. He used his Spiritual Strength to transmit a voice and shouted,
"Young friend, please wait!"
The moment his words sounded, Xiao Yan's forward footsteps suddenly paused. His tensed face also suddenly relaxed. He immediately turned his head around and returned to the front of the stall with a calm face. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man in front of him. Dan Dan said.
"Old mister, have you changed your mind?"
"There is no need for you to put on such an attitude. This old man has ruthlessly released many customers. It is just that I am unwilling to miss the Earth Spirit Quenching Flame Pill in your hands."
Seeing Xiao Yan's manner, the old man curled his mouth in a somewhat mocking manner. The latter immediately laughed and did not hide anything. He extended his hand and two items that he had prepared beforehand were revealed from under his sleeves. They were the pill formula for the Seven Lives Bone Suspension Pill and the Earth Spirit Quenching Flame Pill.
The old man involuntarily sighed helplessly when he saw the medicinal pill that Xiao Yan extended his hand to hand over. For an alchemist, especially an alchemist like him, who had reached the end of the path of alchemy, there was no other possibility other than relying on external items if he wanted to take another step forward. Hence, the excitement in his heart was overflowing with words when he first saw the Earth Spirit Quenching Flame Pill.
The old man swiftly put away the jade bottle scroll that Xiao Yan handed over. The expression on his face gradually became warmer. An excitement that could not be suppressed surged out from his pair of old eyes. This scene caused Xiao Yan to involuntarily laugh softly. Immediately, his gaze was withdrawn and landed on the Soul Stone Metal Scroll in front of him. He quietly sighed in his heart about how dangerous it was. After which, he extended his hand and took it.
However, just as Xiao Yan's hand was about to touch the metal scroll, a white hand suddenly extended from the side. A suction force surged from the palm and the metal scroll was moved. A laugh was also transmitted over at the same time.
"Haha, this friend, everything is first come first serve. I saw this metal scroll first. Although I returned a little late, I want this metal scroll."
