Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 924: 924 Chapter General of Honor

”Everything here is settled, I will take my leave!”

Ling Xiao was reluctant to stay any longer, lest Yun Ya recognize his true identity, which would be rather troublesome.

”I will see you out!”

Yun Ya hurriedly followed him.

She had now determined that this ghost-faced man was a superb alchemist, although she did not know how powerful he was, he was definitely much stronger than Sun Shang.

Ling Xiao did not stop her from following; he walked to the door, then suddenly vanished in the blink of an eye using his Body Movement Technique.

”Boss, based on his voice he doesn’t seem old, and his physique doesn’t really resemble that of an alchemist; are you sure you weren’t mistaken?”

The person who had greeted Ling Xiao earlier stepped out and asked with doubt.

”Your vision is still too poor. If I’m not mistaken, he must have disguised himself and is not truly what he appears to be.”

Yun Ya shook her head and said, ”To judge whether someone is an alchemist, you do not look at the exterior but at the strength of their Soul Power. This person is definitely much stronger than Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord Sun Shang.”

”Boss, that Heavenly Spirit Divine Pill is really good stuff. Haven’t you thought about refining it yourself? With your skills, it shouldn’t be hard.”

The man spoke again.

Hearing this, Yun Ya’s expression instantly turned cold: ”Slap yourself!”

”Slap!”

The man actually did slap himself.

Yun Ya then said, ”You must understand, alchemists should not be offended lightly, especially not one whose depths we are unfamiliar with. If we annoy him, we won’t be able to handle the consequences! Do not forget, even someone like Sun Shang can make an establishment comparable to ours completely vanish from the face of the Heavenly Dragon Continent, let alone that senior.”

”I understand my mistake. But what if that senior is willing to sell the recipe for the Heavenly Spirit Divine Pill?”

”It’s useless. I’ve already analyzed it carefully. That Heavenly Spirit Divine Pill not only includes a special ingredient in a very precise amount, but it also utilizes a special flame for refining.”

Yun Ya sighed, ”I might be capable of adding that ingredient, but I do not have the ability to procure that special flame.”

”What! Even you, Princess, can’t?”

”I cannot!”

Yun Ya shook her head and said, ”Now you see why I must go out of my way to ingratiate ourselves with him. We absolutely cannot afford to offend such a person, but if we can become friends, our Heavenly Dragon Auction House will become much stronger than it is now.”

”I understand now.”

...

Returning to Qingxu College, Ling Xiao went straight back to his accommodation.

It was a private room.

At Qingxu College, everyone had their own private quarters, which was more conducive for Martial Artists to practice cultivation without disturbing each other.

After all, every Martial Artist had their little secrets. If they all stayed together, it would be rather bothersome.

Taking out some of the medicinal ingredients he had just purchased from the Storage Ring, Ling Xiao was about to start refining a new Heavenly Spirit Divine Pill when he suddenly noticed a shadow flit past the window.

”Who?”

”Follow me, there’s something good!”

He recognized the voice clearly—it was the same stranger he had met at the auction house.

That was the person who had spent twenty million Low-grade Spirit Stones for the Inferior Tianling Shen Pill he had refined.

After hesitating for a moment, he put the ingredients back into the Storage Ring and pushed open the door to chase after him.

Anyone capable of infiltrating Qingxu College was certainly no weakling.

Chasing after him was definitely risky.

However, Ling Xiao felt that the person bore him no ill will; he was willing to trust his own judgement.

As he pursued, relying on his own Body Movement Technique, he could only follow distantly, finding it utterly impossible to close the gap.

This left Ling Xiao quite astonished.

He who had comprehended the Mysteries of Light moved so swiftly that even Martial Artists on the cusp of the Yin-Yang Realm might not be able to outrun him.

Yet this person could do it effortlessly, the only reason he hadn’t was simply because he had been merciful.

It wasn’t until they were outside the boundaries of Qingxu College that the man stopped and laughed heartily, ”Your Highness’s speed is indeed astonishing.”

”Great General!”

Ling Xiao looked closely and was shocked.

It was none other than Ji Ning.

Wasn’t Ji Ning in Northern Desert City? How did he return to the Imperial City?

The matter was actually quite straightforward.

After learning of Ling Xiao’s true identity from Hong Qi, Ji Ning grew restless, always feeling that someone might harm Ling Xiao. Therefore, he disguised himself and came to the Imperial City, planning to protect Ling Xiao in secret.

When he was passing by the front of Heavenly Dragon Auction House, he heard that Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills were being auctioned inside. He immediately entered and spent all his savings to buy those one hundred Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills.

However, Ling Xiao didn’t yet know about this.

”If Your Highness doesn’t mind, may we address each other by our names?”

Ji Ning said with a smile, ”Brother Ling Xiao!”

”Big Brother Ji Ning!”

”Hahaha, good, very good!”

Ji Ning laughed heartily, ”The reason I came to find you was to bring you some good stuff.”

As he spoke, he immediately took out a gourd that contained the Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills from his Storage Ring.

Seeing this familiar gourd, Ling Xiao initially felt a bitter smile in his heart.

After all this trouble, he had actually duped Ji Ning.

But then he was moved.

Ji Ning had spent so many Low-grade Spirit Stones to buy these Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills for him?

”Big Brother, what is this?”

He asked, puzzled.

”Low-grade Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills, twice as effective as the Lower Grade Heavenly Spiritual Elixirs!”

Ji Ning replied with a smile.

”No, this gift is too precious, I can’t accept rewards without merit.”

Ling Xiao hurriedly shook his head.

”That’s right, this is very expensive. It cost me twenty million Low-grade Spirit Stones to get it. If Brother Ling doesn’t want it, I’ll destroy it!”

Ji Ning’s expression was very serious.

”Big Brother, what are you doing?”

Ling Xiao was filled with confusion.

If it was for the sake of repaying a favor, wasn’t Ji Ning’s approach a bit too extreme?

”Brother Ling, don’t ask about the extra matters. When you grow stronger, I’ll tell you about your origins. In a nutshell, for you, I, Ji Ning, am willing to lay down my life without hesitation.”

Ji Ning spoke very seriously.

Ling Xiao sighed; he didn’t understand why Ji Ning would say such things, but he accepted the sentiment.

After all, he could always find an opportunity to repay him later.

”Alright, I’ll accept this. But Big Brother, even though you’ve disguised yourself and are staying in the Imperial City, there won’t be any immediate discovery, but once the Royal Family finds out, it would likely be dangerous.”

Ling Xiao sincerely said, ”You should return to Northern Desert City as soon as possible. I won’t be in danger.”

”You say there’s no danger, but do you truly have confidence in defeating that Blood Skeleton a month from now?”

Ji Ning said anxiously, ”You, why are you so impulsive? What can change in a month? You should at least have stretched this time to over a year.”
