Chapter 5: Necromancy Magic

After obtaining the Mystic Water Pill and the Soul Ascension Pill, Su Yun Tian left.

This time's harvest wasn't small.

The evil fire inside Ma Xiaotao was so abundant that it forced him to level up directly, even though he was already at the level‑25 peak.

Yet even so, more than half of that evil fire remained unabsorbed, so next time he might level up again.

Moreover, the Soul Ascension Pill can add one level, while the Mystic Water Pill can purge impurities and speed up cultivation.

However, this stuff is of no use to him.

Though his level‑25 soul power was granted by the system, the first 20 levels have been converted to innate soul power.

One could say his talent is already maxed, so he has no need for the Mystic Water Pill.

Dormitory.

Wang Dong sat gloomily on the bed, and when he saw Su Yun Tian return, he walked forward with displeasure, about to say something, when his nose twitched.

He looked at him with suspicion and asked, "Where have you been? Why do you smell like a woman?"

He didn't know why, but he just didn't want to see Su Yun Tian walking with another woman.

Su Yun Tian was slightly stunned; is Wang Dong a dog? How can his nose be so keen?

"Nothing much, just took care of some business," Su Yun Tian shook his head, then handed the bottle containing the Mystic Water Pill to Wang Dong.

"Open it and have a look, it's for you."

Wang Dong opened the bottle with puzzlement, only feeling a fragrant scent enter his nose.

"What is this, Mystic Water Pill! Where did you get it?"

The Mystic Water Pill costs ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, and it's a rare item with no market; only the Profound Darkness Sect can forge it, ordinary people never get a chance to touch it.

"I helped with some business, Dean Yan gave it to me. I don't need it, you can have it."

Su Yun Tian said indifferently, "After all, Wang Dong is my junior; I don't need it, so it's fine to give it to him."

Wang Dong only felt a warmth in his heart; besides my father and second father, it was the first time someone treated him this well.

His tone unintentionally softened, "Such a precious thing, and you just give it to me like that?"

Su Yun Tian gave him a cold glance, his tone a bit impatient: "Why are you being so whiny, eat it or not; if you don't eat it I'll just toss it."

"Eat, eat, eat." Wang Dong giggled foolishly, didn't care, tossed it into his mouth, then hurriedly sat on the bed to absorb its effects.

Seeing this, Su Yun Tian quickly opened the door and left, for after ingesting the Mystic Water Pill, impurities would be expelled and the room would become terribly foul.

At this moment the sky grew dim, and Su Yun Tian walked boredly through Shilaike City.

A crowd ahead suddenly caught his attention; getting closer he realized Huo Yuhao was grilling fish here!

As a transmigrator, not trying Huo Yuhao's grilled fish would indeed be a failure.

However, if memory serves, Huo Yuhao only grilled twenty fish on the first day.

He glanced at the crowd and the remaining fish, and still chose to queue, assuming his turn would come.

Not long after, those in front also bought theirs, and the line reached Su Yun Tian.

"One order, please," he said softly, pulling out five copper soul coins.

Wang Dong didn't know how long it would take him to wake up, so there was no need to keep waiting.

"Alright." Huo Yuhao took the money and promptly handed the grilled fish over.

It must be said, Huo Yuhao's keen eyes and martial soul were indeed perfect for grilling fish.

Not a single spot was charred; it was crisp outside and tender inside.

Even the simplest seasoning left a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

After finishing the fish, Su Yun Tian was about to leave when he saw the crowd slowly disperse.

A stunningly beautiful woman stepped out from among them.

She had golden wavy hair, wore rabbit‑ear accessories, bright eyes and white teeth, and a hint of melancholy in her brows added an unparalleled allure.

"Eh? Jiang Nannan?"

Su Yun Tian was slightly stunned; if he guessed correctly, the next would be Bei Bei coming to the rescue.

Soon, as previously expected, Huo Yuhao, because he didn't sell fish to Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi appeared.

A Gold Soul Coin was accurately inserted into the grill; Xu Sanshi, his face flashing with ferocity, struck a palm trying to take the fish, but Huo Yuhao's quick eyes snatched it first.

Enraged, Xu Sanshi raised his hand and punched at Huo Yuhao.

Just as Su Yun Tian thought Bei Bei would make an appearance, he saw Huo Yuhao also swing a fist.

"Bang—" The two fists collided, raising a cloud of dust and emitting a strong soul power surge.

That punch was evenly matched between the two!

"What's going on? As a Soul Elder, Xu Sanshi actually fought Huo Yuhao to a tie?"

Su Yun Tian's face turned uneasy; even though Huo Yuhao is the Child of Destiny, before obtaining a second martial soul he's still a battle‑waster!

"Kid, you're courting death!"

Xu Sanshi heard the surrounding murmurs, his face grew somewhat displeased; when had Eternal Sovereign Xu Sanshi ever suffered such insult?

Soul power surged in his hand, a strand of robust soul power wrapped his right hand, and he swung another punch toward Huo Yuhao.

Su Yun Tian clearly saw Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly change, turning gray and his gaze becoming cold and icy, as if he were a completely different person.

At that moment, wisps of gray air leaked from his pupils.

In an instant, Xu Sanshi seemed frozen as if by a binding spell, standing still.

Huo Yuhao seized the chance, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a strange vertical pupil appeared on his forehead, surrounded by special black markings.

A beam of light shot from the vertical pupil, striking Xu Sanshi's forehead.

"Uh!"

At the moment of impact, Xu Sanshi's eyes became dazed, then quickly returned to normal.

But he was still seen by Su Yun Tian.

I don't know why, but looking at Huo Yuhao in the distance, he always felt a sense of disgust welling up from his heart.

【The power of fate, and the butterfly effect.】

【Because the host intercepted the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in advance, Huo Yuhao's biggest early-game cheat.】

【This caused the butterfly effect; Huo Yuhao's fate power prompted Yi Laike Si to revive early, and it mutated with the Spirit Eye, while also consuming some fate power.】

【Reward: Villain Points +5000】

After hearing the system's explanation, Su Yun Tian suddenly understood.

No wonder he felt disgust; it was probably because of Yi Laike Si's necromancy.

After all, angels are holy, and having power opposite to their attribute together naturally creates conflict.

At that moment, Xu Sanshi stopped in place, a black light flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Huo Yuhao, and then left silently.

Bei Bei and the others also rushed over upon hearing the news.

Tang Ya looked Huo Yuhao up and down with a worried expression; seeing he was fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bei Bei watched Xu Sanshi's back with a solemn expression, always feeling something was off.

Given Xu Sanshi's personality, would he just leave like that?

On the other side, Su Yun Tian, who had 26,000 Villain Points, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and bought Qian Renxue's remnant soul.

【Purchase successful!】

【20,000 Villain Points deducted, current amount: 6,000】

【Qian Renxue's remnant soul has merged into the host's Spirit Sea.】

Inside the Spirit Sea.

Countless golden lights surged in, eventually condensing into a graceful figure.

She wore a gold palace-style long dress, the dress was one-piece, seemingly woven from gold thread, without excessive patterned decoration, the style simple yet elegant; the gold standing collar protected her snow-white, slender neck, and a head of gold hair casually fell loose behind her, not carefully arranged.

Her skin was fairer than snow, her beauty unparalleled, she looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Between her brows, a golden six-winged angel emblem was imprinted.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing golden pupils.

"Where... am I?"
