Chapter 201: Bonding with Dan Chen! Soul Devours Souls!
The demonic sound refinement ceremony will take place in just over a month. Traveling from Dan Tower to Sound Valley isn't quick, so we must depart in a few days.
Xiao Ze learned from Elder Liu Tian that the demonic sound refinement ceremony is effective even for those at the Dou Zong level like him. However, the higher the level, the lesser the effect of Dou Qi vibration.
However, soul improvement is not affected by the level of Dou Qi.
Xiao Ze also learned how the elders of Dan Tower can earn merits. It can be by making pills, guarding important places, teaching disciples, or creating new pill recipes.
For example, by taking Dan Tower disciples to Sound Valley for the demonic sound refinement ceremony, Xiao Ze will also earn merits.
In summary, merits are obtained by working for Dan Tower.
A well-organized power must have a well-structured system of rewards and punishments. Otherwise, just maintaining so many elders would consume many resources from Dan Tower.
Before departing, Xiao Ze once again went to the black tower to see Xuan Kongzi.
In the same large hall where they met last time, Xuan Kongzi placed a scroll on the shelf and looked at Xiao Ze with curiosity.
"Xiao Ze, why don't you prepare to go to Sound Valley and come see me?"
"President Xuan Kongzi, I've come to ask you a favor."
Xiao Ze bowed.
"Oh, what is it?"
"Recently, I've felt that my progress in soul cultivation is slow. I've heard that Dan Tower has soul cultivation methods. How many merits do I need to redeem one?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Kongzi observed Xiao Ze carefully. Xiao Ze's soul strength was powerful and subtle, very close to reaching the next level.
"I see. If you're seeking a soul cultivation method, I can give you one now. Use the demonic sound refinement ceremony in Sound Valley to break through the spiritual level."
After pondering for a moment, Xuan Kongzi took out a scroll with a faint soul energy.
"This is the Xuan Qing Soul Method, a quite remarkable ancient soul cultivation technique."
"But the merits you lack, you'll have to earn them when you return to Dan Tower. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for me."
Xiao Ze was delighted. He only wanted to know how many merits he needed, but he didn't expect Xuan Kongzi to give it to him in advance.
"Thank you, President Xuan Kongzi. When I return to Dan Tower, I'll strive to earn merits."
Xuan Kongzi nodded satisfactorily and tossed the scroll to Xiao Ze.
"The price of the Xuan Qing Soul Method isn't high. Making three eighth-level pills will be enough."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze felt the weight of the scroll. In this era, soul cultivation methods are rare.
Obtaining the Xuan Qing Soul Method in advance means that when his soul level reaches the spiritual level, making eighth-level pills won't be a problem.
It all depends on whether he can break through the spiritual level in the demonic sound refinement ceremony in Sound Valley.
Becoming an eighth-level alchemist will make paying merits much easier.
Xuan Kongzi talked a bit more with Xiao Ze and then let him go to prepare.
Shortly after, Xiao Ze headed to Elder Liu Tian's tower.
This time he wasn't within Dan Tower's influence, so there could be many dangers. Xiao Ze decided that Qing Lin would stay in the tower to cultivate.
"Elder Liu Tian." Xiao Ze bowed to Elder Liu Tian who was waiting outside the tower.
"Xiao Ze, you arrived early. Where's your servant who always accompanies you?"
"This trip to Sound Valley isn't a walk. I left her in the tower to cultivate."
"You're right. Although the name of Dan Tower is respected in the Central Plains, we can't be arrogant."
Elder Liu Tian sighed with a touch of complexity in his eyes.
"In the Central Plains, killing and robbing aren't rare. No matter how high your status, there will always be those who want to take advantage."
Xiao Ze looked at Elder Liu Tian, knowing that his words came from experience.
The Dan Tower disciples going to Sound Valley were selected from volunteers. Those who had already gone couldn't return.
Dan Xuan from the Dan family and Cao Ying from the Cao family had already gone.
But this year, there was a disciple that Xiao Ze hoped to see: Dan Chen from the Dan family.
They should be arriving soon."
Just as Elder Liu Tian finished speaking, a carriage with the emblem of the Dan family stopped near the tower.
A figure descended, bringing a smile to Xiao Ze's face.
"Brother Dan Xuan, long time no see!"
"Xiao Ze... I should call you elder now." Dan Xuan looked at Xiao Ze with envy. Becoming an elder of Dan Tower at such a young age was impressive.
"Haha! With our friendship, you don't need to call me that."
"You're right, if you insist, it would be rude of me."
Dan Xuan laughed. He knew Xiao Ze didn't care for formal titles.
"I came to bring my cousin, Dan Chen."
Dan Xuan introduced Dan Chen.
"Greetings, Elder Xiao Ze."
Dan Chen spoke softly. Xiao Ze looked at her, her face delicate and her complexion pale, with a sickly air.
"Haha, don't worry. I'm a friend of your cousin Dan Xuan. I'll protect you on this journey to Sound Valley."
Xiao Ze glanced at Dan Chen's personal state, showing slight surprise.
Like a talent in the original story comparable to Cao Ying, Dan Chen also had a pale golden talent.
Soul Devours Souls!
Both had talents related to the soul, something Xiao Ze didn't have yet.
If he could obtain their talents, his growth in the soul realm would be much faster.
Comparing the two, Dan Chen's talent was more attractive.
Cao Ying's talent was to have an innate soul body, meaning her soul was naturally powerful.
From birth, her powerful soul almost killed her mother.
Obtaining that talent could significantly improve Xiao Ze's soul ability.
Dan Chen's talent, Soul Devours Souls, allowed her to devour external souls to strengthen her own.
This talent would likely activate more often than Cao Ying's, providing more opportunities for improvement.
Determined, Xiao Ze bonded with Dan Chen's talent.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully bonded with Dan Chen's talent: Soul Devours Souls]
[The Soul Devours Souls has grown. The host will receive multiple rewards!]

Chapter 202: Heading to the Valley of Sound! The Lord of Bloodthirsty!
Dan Xuan listened to Xiao Ze's words, and a slight smile formed on his lips.
"My cousin is quite important in the family, and this time, the family is willing to let her out because it can enhance her spiritual strength."
"I also ask that you take good care of my cousin, Xiao Ze."
"Of course!" Xiao Ze pounded his chest, assuring Dan Xuan.
Dan Chen looked at Xiao Ze, with a slight blush on her face. Earlier, her cousin Dan Xuan had already explained to her that the man in front of them was the maker of the Extreme Yang Pill. At that time, her cousin had even said he would introduce her to Xiao Ze, but she had directly rejected the idea, although she couldn't avoid meeting Xiao Ze in the end. However, the current situation was quite different from what she had imagined. The identities of the two had changed drastically. Previously, Xiao Ze's identity was that of someone new to the central region, without any influence or connections. On the other hand, she was the pearl in the palm of the Dan family, creating a gap in their status. Now that they had met, it seemed that she was above him.
Still, Dan Chen was not discouraged. In her opinion, alchemy was the most important thing. Meeting other people didn't interest her as much. Shortly after, three other disciples from the Dan Tower also arrived. Seeing that both Xiao Ze and Elder Liu Tian were already there, they all seemed a little embarrassed and repeatedly apologized to Xiao Ze and Elder Liu Tian.
"It doesn't matter, let's depart soon!" Elder Liu Tian waved his hand indifferently and, after seeing Xiao Ze nod slightly, spoke.
"Brother Dan Xuan, I will take good care of your sister." Xiao Ze bowed to Dan Xuan.
Then, the few got on the Dan Tower's carriage. Shortly after, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Valley of Sound space on the outskirts of the Holy Pill City. People around began to talk and speculate about the identity of those in the Dan Tower's carriage. Under the gazes filled with admiration and envy, the carriage entered the spatial portal.
After entering the spatial portal, Elder Liu Tian took out a small spacecraft. Once the small spacecraft was away from Elder Liu Tian's hand, it began to increase in size as it floated in the air. Soon, the carriage stopped at the spacecraft. Elder Liu Tian told the Dan Tower disciples, "Well, leave this to Xiao Ze and me. You can rest inside."
"From the Holy City to the Valley of Sound, we will need to pass through two spatial portals. It will take about ten days, so take it easy."
Elder Liu Tian explained to Xiao Ze, knowing that Xiao Ze was not a native of the Central Region.
"Hmm, Elder Liu Tian, has there been any serious trouble in the Valley of Sound in recent years?" Xiao Ze, feeling bored, asked Elder Liu Tian.
After all, those forces have hidden experts, taking the Dan Tower as an example, they have the Ancient Patriarch of the Dan Tower, who travels freely and is a Six-Star Battle Lord! Apart from the ancient races living in separate spaces, the Ancient Patriarch of the Dan Tower is one of the most outstanding in the Six-Star Battle Continent. Therefore, these major public forces have a background that the emerging forces with Six-Star Battle experts cannot match.
In this situation, for the Lord of Bloodthirsty to strike the Valley of Sound and still be able to escape unscathed really surprised Xiao Ze.
Hasn't the Lord of Bloodthirsty appeared again in these last few years?"
"That's right, some even speculate that the Lord of Bloodthirsty has left the Central Region and headed to other regions of the Six-Star Battle Continent." Elder Liu Tian shook his head and said, "By offending both the Valley of Sound and the Dan Tower, it's not surprising that the Lord of Bloodthirsty has fled the Central Region."
Then, Xiao Ze and Elder Liu Tian discussed alchemy for a while. Suddenly, Xiao Ze noticed Dan Chen's presence and gestured to her.
"What's up, Dan Chen?"
"Nothing, just that I'm passionate about alchemy. Hearing the two elders discuss, I couldn't help but stop and listen for a while," Dan Chen said nervously, as it was something that could be considered both important and trivial.
Xiao Ze looked at Elder Liu Tian, and seeing his expression unchanged, said, "If you want to listen, listen. Dedication to alchemy is something the Dan Tower wishes to have more talents like you dedicated to."
Elder Liu Tian nodded with a smile, as he also knew about Dan Chen's talent. In the Dan family, Dan Chen was well protected.
"If you're interested, you can stay and listen. You can also give your opinion," seeing both elders saying that, Dan Chen smiled.
Time passed quickly during the discussion, and other disciples of the Dan Tower, seeing that Dan Chen could listen, also asked Xiao Ze and Elder Liu Tian to teach them.
What should have been a journey to the Valley of Sound turned into a teaching and discussion session for the Dan Tower disciples, which filled them with joy.
Normally, opportunities to receive teaching from the Dan Tower elders were scarce, and even if there were any, they were costly.
However, this time, going to the Valley of Sound, they were able to hear the teachings of the elders, and they felt that their alchemy skills had improved.
At first, some of the Dan Tower disciples were a little skeptical about Xiao Ze's youth and had some doubts about his alchemy ability.
After these days of discussion, Xiao Ze's alchemy skill left them completely impressed.
They looked at Xiao Ze with fervor and admiration.
"Well, passing through this ring of light, we will arrive at the city under the jurisdiction of the Valley of Sound." Elder Liu Tian stopped his talk and stood up, looking towards the distant ring of light.
Other Dan Tower disciples were left wanting more, but they didn't dare to say anything more, as they had gained a great advantage.
After a brief jolt, everyone looked back to see the bustling city.
"Is this the city under the jurisdiction of the Valley of Sound? It's really prosperous," Xiao Ze, with a little anticipation towards the Valley of Sound, thought to himself.
