43: Chapter 43: From now on, you’ll be called Mu Xiao 43: Chapter 43: From now on, you’ll be called Mu Xiao Mu Can stared blankly at the Soul Pill spinning in Purple Cloud’s hand, his heart filled with shock. The sight of an elixir with a Dan Seal was the first for Mu Can in all these years, and he believed that even Xuanyuan Mingkong had never seen such an elixir. “This was refined within the Reincarnation Pearl. If it were outside, it would definitely attract the corresponding Dan Tribulation,” Purple Cloud said while observing the elixir she hadn’t created in thousands of years, slightly dissatisfied. Even with such quality, Purple Cloud was not entirely pleased. If she were at her peak, this elixir would now have two dragon-shaped seals. It seemed her state as a remnant soul greatly affected her strength. “What is Dan Tribulation? I’ve only heard of ascending Heavenly Tribulation,” Mu Can asked, puzzled. He was hearing about Dan Tribulation for the first time. Ever since the collective disappearance of the high-grade Pill Masters in the Mortal World, the legacy of Alchemy Dao was nearly broken, with no Pill Masters able to refine elixirs capable of triggering Dan Tribulation. “When an elixir exceeds a certain rank during the refinement process, Dan Tribulation will occur. According to the Human World’s classification of elixirs, they can be divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human ranks based on their effects, and each rank is subdivided into nine grades, with the grade above nine being supreme. The quality of this Soul Pill is of the Heaven Rank ninth grade. At my peak, I was able to refine nine supreme Heaven Rank elixirs in a single batch, and that Dan Tribulation was withstood only with the help of three Immortal Venerables,” Purple Cloud said with never-ending enthusiasm whenever alchemy was mentioned. “Sister Yun, what rank is the Transformation Pill?” Mu Can suddenly recalled the Transformation Pill mentioned by Purple Cloud and asked. Purple Cloud was taken aback as if stumped by the question, thought for a moment, and then said, “Transformation Pills do not have a specific rank, but I prefer to call them Divine Rank elixirs. I even doubted whether Divine Rank elixirs could be refined, but after encountering the Reincarnation Pearl, I believed that if such a wondrous treasure could exist, then refining Divine Rank elixirs must be possible.” Mu Can listened with yearning to Purple Cloud’s explanation. Transformation Pills that seem to have their own life, are they still elixirs? Seeing Mu Can lost in thought, Purple Cloud gently tossed the elixir in her hand to Mu Can. Mu Can, who just entered the Martial Sect level, was all flustered when he saw the Soul Pill thrown by Purple Cloud. He almost failed to catch such a small elixir, which showed how nervous he was. “My goodness, this is a Heaven Rank ninth-grade elixir and you just threw it over like that. Do you know how many small cities like Pingyun City this could trade for with a Dynasty outside?” Mu Can said while holding the Soul Pill. “Elixirs are meant to be used by people, even if it’s Heaven Rank ninth-grade. One day, I hope you can refine a Transformation level elixir,” Purple Cloud said indifferently. Heaven Rank ninth-grade was so commonplace to her that giving it to Mu Can was like tossing away a cabbage. “How do I consume this?” Mu Can looked at the elixir in his hand with eyes as eager as a dog eyeing a bone, nearly radiating green light. He couldn’t wait to enhance his strength. “Deal with this first, you need to go outside to consume it later. This Soul Pill also has a strengthening effect on the body,” Purple Cloud explained, then with a wave of her hand, the ropes that bound the Martial Pavilion Elder untied automatically. The Martial Pavilion Elder slowly came to and opened his eyes, only to find Mu Can and Purple Cloud staring at him, and he asked, “Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable, why bother with a small figure like me?” But as soon as he spoke, the Martial Pavilion Elder realized something was wrong. Why did this voice sound so unfamiliar and young? “Ah.” Looking at his hands, he saw the soft, tender hands of a youth. After examining himself, the Martial Pavilion Elder realized that he had indeed transformed into a young boy. “What happened to me? Where’s my Soul Power? Why did I turn into a child?” he asked anxiously after sensing that his Soul Power was now only at Martial Sect Level. “There, isn’t it right there?” Purple Cloud said as she saw Mu Can trying to put the Soul Pill into his pocket, and nodded her lips toward Mu Can. “Soul Pill? Give me back my soul power, I’ll fight you to the death.” The Martial Pavilion Elder, upon seeing the Soul Pill in Mu Can’s hand, instantly knew what had happened and rushed forward to snatch it, forgetting that he was no match for Mu Can now. He lunged forward but didn’t even touch a corner of Mu Can’s robe before being kicked to the ground by Mu Can. Seeing that he couldn’t beat Mu Can, the Martial Pavilion Elder sat on the ground and began to cry bitterly. “Just kill me, I don’t want to live anymore.” He cried just like a child whose candy had been snatched away, which was not unreasonable since the Martial Pavilion Elder was indeed in a child-like state. “Stop crying.” Seeing the Martial Pavilion Elder cry so sadly made Mu Can feel somewhat embarrassed, and he quickly urged. “Just kill me, do you know how many years I cultivated to accumulate that much soul power?” The Martial Pavilion Elder wiped his tears and continued to sob loudly. “Shut your mouth.” Purple Cloud couldn’t stand the crying and wailing, especially when it was an old guy who had been alive for who knew how many years, and said coldly. As soon as Purple Cloud spoke, the Martial Pavilion Elder immediately closed his mouth, though he still looked resentfully at the Soul Pill in Mu Can’s hand, knowing that his soul power was inside it. “I’ll give you a chance to get out of here. There are two hundred souls that I have found inside, and they are now all Soul Cultivators. I need you to teach them, and I’ll limit your time to one hundred years. After a hundred years, I’ll set you free,” said Purple Cloud in an understated tone, seeing that the Martial Pavilion Elder had stopped crying and carrying on. There was something she didn’t say: if you don’t agree, forget about ever getting out in this lifetime. The Martial Pavilion Elder looked at Purple Cloud cautiously and asked, “Immortal Venerable, is this really true?” In fact, the Martial Pavilion Elder started crying to elicit sympathy from Mu Can, with his main goal being to stay alive. Purple Cloud recognized this and hence offered him an irresistible choice. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Of course. With your insight at the level of an Immortal General, guiding a group of people whose abilities top out at the Martial Sect Level will surely be more than manageable,” Purple Cloud nodded her head and said. As an Immortal Venerable, her word was as good as gold. “I will go.” In truth, even if Purple Cloud let him go, he didn’t want to leave. At least here, his soul power wouldn’t dissipate. As for the lost soul power, he could slowly cultivate it back. “From now on, I’ll call you Little Mu.” Without even asking for the Martial Pavilion Elder’s name, Purple Cloud gave him a name. Not daring to resist, the Martial Pavilion Elder accepted the name submissively, and even felt a sense of pride. Being named by an Immortal Venerable was a great honor indeed. Purple Cloud sent Little Mu out of her forbidden abode. She believed that with his wily and cunning nature, building influence among those people was merely a matter of time. However, Purple Cloud still played it safe, leaving a safeguard on him. Within the layers of the Reincarnation Pearl, nothing could escape Purple Cloud’s notice. Should he plot any schemes, Purple Cloud would conveniently be able to eliminate him at a moment’s notice. “Thank you, Sister Yun.” Seeing Purple Cloud send off the Martial Pavilion Elder, Mu Can smiled awkwardly at her in gratitude. He knew that by intervening with the Martial Pavilion Elder’s matter, Purple Cloud did not want to put him in a difficult position. After taking all of his soul power, Mu Can no longer harbored the same level of hatred towards him.
