At this moment, Xiao Yan and the old man were standing in a spacious and empty room.
Xiao Yan unceremoniously sat on the seat that had been prepared. The old man, on the other hand, stood a short distance in front of Xiao Yan in a respectful manner.
"Tell me, what is the news?"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at the old man in front of him. There seemed to be an invisible pressure gradually pressing on the old man's heart, causing his heart to suddenly tighten. Looking at Xiao Yan's appearance, it seemed as though he would attack at any moment.
"Cough cough."
The old man's old face was slightly pale as he coughed twice. After pausing for a moment, he carefully opened his mouth and asked Xiao Yan:
"May I ask sir, is there a problem with your Spiritual Strength?"
Xiao Yan frowned. He did not know that the old man would actually ask such a question. His heart immediately tightened. Immediately, the old man seemed to be afraid that Xiao Yan would misunderstand and hurriedly opened his mouth and said:
"Sir, please don't misunderstand. I only saw that the Soul Baby Fruit was written on the list. Therefore, I was curious and asked such a question."
After hearing these words, the emotions in Xiao Yan's heart slowly calmed down. At the same time, a chill surfaced in his eyes as he looked at the old man in front of him. This caused the old man's body to involuntarily tremble. In his heart, he was even more fearful of Xiao Yan.
"Recently, my Spiritual Strength is in need of a breakthrough. Therefore, I conveniently searched for it. Why, are you very curious about my condition?"
With a cold gaze, Xiao Yan's tone was slightly sinister as he said.
"Uh …"
The old man's body trembled and a chill swiftly rose from the bottom of his feet. After which, he hurriedly bowed respectfully towards Xiao Yan and coughed twice before speaking with an embarrassed face:
"Cough cough, sir, you must be joking. Just now, I was merely curious, curious only …"
As the old man spoke, his voice unconsciously trembled. At the same time, cold sweat swiftly flowed down from the wrinkles on his forehead.
"What about now?"
Xiao Yan's tone was cold and indifferent, but in his heart, he let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm not curious anymore. I'm not curious anymore."
The old man hurriedly lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
Xiao Yan sneered, but the old man in front of him had his head buried deep, so he didn't know about it at all.
"Go ahead and tell me. I don't believe that you would ask those questions for no reason."
"Eh …"
Xiao Yan withdrew his tone. Only then did the old man in front of him heave a sigh of relief in his heart. At the same time, he recalled that he did indeed have something to say earlier. However, due to Xiao Yan's pressure, he had momentarily become at a loss and forgot to say it.
"Sir, although our Four Way Pavilion does not have the Soul Baby Fruit, I know that there is a place where this kind of natural treasure that possesses Spiritual Strength exists."
"Huh?!"
Xiao Yan's expression suddenly turned serious, and joy involuntarily rose in his heart. If it was really as the old man in front of him had said, then perhaps, there was hope for his Spiritual Strength to break through to Rank 3.
When he saw the change in Xiao Yan's expression, joy also rose in the old man's heart. Although the alchemist's temperament was strange and fickle, if he could cater to the alchemist's preferences, he might be able to bind the black-robed young man in front of him to him. He would not easily miss such a good opportunity.
"Where is the thing that you want to talk about?"
After regaining his senses, Xiao Yan did not ignore the old man's words because of his excitement.
The old man involuntarily clicked his tongue in wonder in his heart when he saw that Xiao Yan had actually recovered his calmness so quickly. This kind of mental state was really difficult to imagine that it would actually appear in the body of a member of the younger generation. After all, it was likely that even some of the experts from the older generation would not be able to calm their hearts so quickly after hearing such news.
After a slight pause, the old man organized the following words in his heart. He really did not want to be angrily glared at by Xiao Yan in front of him again.
After a short few breaths, the old man finally lifted his head. His gaze slowly looked towards Xiao Yan, and his tone carefully asked:
"May I know if sir has heard about the matter of the Desolate Ancient Ruins?"
"Huh?"
When he heard this, Xiao Yan was stunned, and his face involuntarily revealed a puzzled expression. He had really never heard of what the old man in front of him had said.
When he saw the expression on Xiao Yan's face, the old man's heart finally relaxed a little, and his mouth softly exhaled a breath of relief. Soon after, his tone was somewhat uncertain as he said:
"Sir, recently there have been rumors that at the border of the Xilin Mountain Range, as well as a place that borders the human world, there seems to have been an ancient ruin discovered. The natural treasure that you need, which possesses Spiritual Strength, is located there."
"You say that I need it, but, I still do not know what exactly it is."
Xiao Yan's eyes flashed slightly, but his tone was extremely flat.
When he heard Xiao Yan's words, the old man could not help but smile awkwardly. Originally, he wanted to keep Xiao Yan in suspense, but looking at the situation, the Xiao Yan in front of him was already a little impatient.
Helplessly, the old man could only smile embarrassedly. Soon after, he frowned slightly and pretended to be deep in thought. After confirming that his memory was correct, he opened his mouth to Xiao Yan and said:
"Sir, the thing that I am talking about is the Soul Consolidating Fruit."
"Yes!!!"
When the old man's voice fell, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly shook, and an incomparably excited expression immediately surged into the depths of his eyes. Even his body, which was originally sitting on the chair, could not help but suddenly stand up at this moment. Just this point alone was enough to prove the waves in Xiao Yan's heart at this moment.
"Soul Consolidating Fruit … Soul Consolidating Fruit, I really did not expect it! I did not even dare to think about this thing, but I did not expect that you would actually take the initiative to deliver it to me! "
The voice in his mouth softly muttered. Xiao Yan also felt a little surprised in his heart because of this.
When Xiao Yan first wrote this list, Xiao Yan had already thought of the Soul Consolidating Fruit. This kind of fruit could be said to be extremely suitable for the current Xiao Yan. If he had it, Xiao Yan had absolute confidence that he would be able to breakthrough his Spiritual Strength to the level of a rank three alchemist.
However, it was also because of the Soul Consolidating Fruit's extraordinary effects that it was rare and not easy to find. Therefore, Xiao Yan placed his target on the relatively more likely Soul Infant Fruit.
However, he did not expect that what made Xiao Yan surprised was that there was still no news of the Soul Infant Fruit, but there was actually already news of the Soul Consolidating Fruit.
The Soul Consolidating Fruit. This kind of fruit was neither a flower nor a fruit. However, it possessed an extremely large and pure Spiritual Strength. This kind of large Spiritual Strength was enough to allow an ordinary rank two alchemist to swiftly raise his Spiritual Strength to the level of a rank three alchemist in the shortest amount of time!
Most importantly, the large Spiritual Strength that the Soul Consolidating Fruit possessed could allow anyone to directly swallow and refine it without any side effects. It was also because of this that this Soul Consolidating Fruit had become an object that all alchemists and formation masters yearned for in their hearts.
After all, if one relied purely on training to raise one's Spiritual Strength, one would need an unknown amount of time. However, a small fruit was currently able to create a rank three alchemist or a rank three formation master within a short period of time. It was likely that any alchemist below rank three would not bear to miss out on this kind of huge temptation.
Even Xiao Yan was no exception to this point.
