Chapter 49: Are You a Void Drop?

【Congratulations Host for successfully alchemizing "First Grade Sub Yunling Pill*2", gaining the secondary profession "Alchemist" experience 2 points】

"Looks like my talent in Alchemy isn't bad either! I succeeded on the second attempt, and I also managed to alchemize two Alchemy Pills at the same time!" Li Xuan said, smiling, holding the porcelain bottle in his hands.

He opened the porcelain bottle and poured out the two Alchemy Pills; the freshly made pills were still hot, which is why they were placed in the bottle, but after cooling for a while they were no longer scalding, and Li Xuan finally poured them out.

The Alchemy Pill felt warm to the touch, and a faint fresh fragrance emanated from it.

The Alchemy Pill was about the size of a glass marble, entirely deep blue, but its surface was not very smooth, a bit rough; likely the fusion of the medicinal properties was done with inexperienced technique, resulting in average quality.

Overall, however, the alchemy was quite successful.

"System, check the quality of the Alchemy Pill for me." Li Xuan raised the porcelain bottle and said to the system.

【Item: Yunling Pill】

【Grade: First Grade Sub】

【Effect: Can increase cultivation speed for soul masters below Level 20】

【Description: A novice alchemist's practice work, with inexperienced technique, average effect, average quality】

"According to the system's description, the quality of these two Alchemy Pills is fairly good, but the Yunling Pill's quality is a bit low, not very useful for me." Li Xuan lifted the pills before his eyes and examined them carefully.

Currently Li Xuan's soul power level has reached Level 18, just a little short of Level 20; the Yunling Pill only works for soul masters below Level 20, and the higher the soul power level, the less noticeable the effect.

So Li Xuan helplessly shook his head, put the pills back into the porcelain bottle, and placed the bottle into the Void Pearl, to use later if needed.

Then Li Xuan took out several water bags, cleaned the Copper Cauldron and various grinding tools thoroughly, dried them carefully, and only then packed these items into the Void Pearl.

After tidying the mess on the ground, Li Xuan felt somewhat exhausted; after all, Alchemy consumes both physical stamina and mental energy.

Li Xuan went to the two horses, prepared to drive a stake into the ground to tether the horses, preventing them from wandering off at night.

After confirming he hadn't missed anything, he returned to the carriage, covered himself with a small blanket, and soon fell asleep.

……

In the early morning, the sleeping Li Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.

There was movement outside the carriage.

Li Xuan did not act rashly; he carefully got up, then peered through the crack of the carriage window to assess the outside situation.

At that moment, several burly men outside had already surrounded the carriage.

"Big brother, I personally saw this kid buy a huge stash of supplies today, and he left in a light carriage; he must have a Soul Guide Device! If we take him, we'll make a fortune this time!"

"Damn it, anyone with a Soul Guide Device is a soul master! Have you had a donkey kick your brain? You're trying to get us to rob a soul master?"

"Boss, no way. That kid looks only about six years old; even if he's a soul master, he surely hasn't absorbed a soul ring yet. The few of us big men could easily deal with a child who just awakened his martial soul."

"You… fine, you're clever, kid. If we get the goods later, I'll reward you a bit more."

……

Li Xuan used the moonlight to fully survey the surroundings.

Outside the carriage there were six men, all adult males, each looking robust and likely possessing some combat ability… ordinary people.

After all, a soul master has no intention of becoming a bandit.

At this point, those men had already surrounded the carriage.

Li Xuan had no better option now, so he simply pushed open the carriage door.

"The kid's awake…" the man called the boss shouted. Before he could finish, Li Xuan had already rushed to the boss's front, slapping his palm onto the chest.

Li Xuan unleashed a full-force strike; scorching soul power poured straight into the man's heart, instantly bursting it, and as the boss spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, he died on the spot.

"Stay on the ground, or else… die!" Li Xuan shouted angrily, scanning the area.

Seeing the bloodied, fallen boss, the remaining five were terrified; as soon as Li Xuan spoke, they without hesitation dropped to the ground, showing no resistance.

Li Xuan looked at the five, smiled and shook his head—such a small amount of courage, yet they still dared to rob.

He glanced around, and an idea surfaced in Li Xuan's mind.

Li Xuan clenched his hand, and a palm-sized Burning Heart Seal light array appeared above his palm.

"Go!" Li Xuan whispered, and the Light Seal on his hand landed directly onto a man.

"Ah! Don't kill me, don't kill me!" the man cried, feeling a heat on his back, thinking Li Xuan was about to strike him, and hurriedly kowtowed, begging for mercy.

Li Xuan ignored him, gathered the Burning Heart Seal again, and drove these seals into the bodies of the remaining men.

As the Burning Heart Seals were absorbed, the men knelt on the ground, beginning to kowtow and confess.

"Enough, stand up. From today onward, you are my slaves; don't think about escaping, the soul skill I just released will make your lives worse than death." Li Xuan leapt back onto the carriage, lit the oil lamp on it, and smiled at the five kneeling men.

Li Xuan even remarked today that he'd forgotten to purchase some slaves; driving the carriage was too exhausting.

So the robbers delivered themselves to his door.

Conveniently, it saved him the cost of buying slaves.

After hearing Li Xuan's words, the men skeptically rose from the ground and cautiously examined Li Xuan.

But when they saw that Li Xuan was merely an ordinary little child, their expressions changed.

Of course, Li Xuan saw all of their changes.

"Seems you're not convinced, huh? Fine, this is a chance for you to experience my power." Li Xuan smiled faintly, then snapped his fingers.

With a crisp snap, the bandits suddenly felt an intense heat surge within their bodies, so fierce that they, still kneeling, tore at their clothes wildly, rolling on the ground in agony.

"You're a devil! What have you done to us? Stop it, damn it!"

"Please, please, have mercy on us…"

"It's too painful, I feel like I'm being burned to death…"

"Kill me, give me a quick end!"

……

The men, in pain, rolled on the ground while tearing their clothes, trying to cool themselves as much as possible.

"Alright, I'll spare your lives, but from now on you'll take care of my daily needs. If any problems arise, rest assured, a single thought of mine can turn you to ash." Li Xuan snorted coldly, then said indifferently.

As Li Xuan's words fell, the scorching heat in their bodies gradually faded, and they lay on the ground, exhausted, gasping for breath.

The Burning Heart Seal just now activated the Heart Fire, and it was their Heart Fire that ignited the Burning Heart Divine Flame, which naturally made them feel extreme drowsiness and weakness.

So now they don't even have the strength to wiggle a finger.

Dear audience and gentlemen, it's the weekend, it's the weekend, holiday time, let's get excited!!!! (Chapter end)
