"Jiang Yun, you make the decision!" Ge Xun had no choice but to turn his gaze to Jiang Yun and asked.
"Let me think about it!" Jiang Yun said deliberately with some embarrassment.
At this time, Lin Chengsi's telepathic message reached Jiang Yun's ears.
"Protect Xu Xing. I'll find you the second-level beast soul you need."
When Jiang Yun heard this, he was immediately delighted. He had already gathered all the spiritual ingredients for the Shenpo Pill, but he still had not obtained the most important thing, the beast soul.
"Okay, I'm willing to protect Xu Xing."
Hearing Jiang Yun's answer, Lin Chengsi nodded in satisfaction. Jiang Yun had a grudge against the Zhang family's branch, but his combat power was essentially unmatched at the Foundation Establishment stage. He was the perfect candidate.
After the worship meeting, Jiang Yun followed Lin Chengsi to the depths of the worship hall. This was Jiang Yun's third time here. But since Jiang Yun gave up the way of talismans and turned to the way of alchemy, he had not been here before.
"Master, Senior Jiang!" Xu Xing looked at Jiang Yun's familiar yet unfamiliar face. He bowed and said in a deep voice:
Lin Chengsi nodded with satisfaction, "Xing'er, during this period of time, Brother Jiang will be your protector. You don't have to travel alone anymore until the talisman meeting is over!"
Xu Xing looked up at Jiang Yun and bowed deeply. He said respectfully:
"I'll leave it to Senior Jiang for the time being."
"Fellow Daoist Xu, there's no need for that. You and I have known each other for a long time. From now on, you can call me Brother Jiang or Jiang Yun. No need to call me Senior."
Next, Jiang Yun moved from Danfu Residence to the Worship Hall, living in an attic near Lin Chengsi and Xu Xing. Jiang Yun also suspended his other worship duties and devoted himself to protecting Xu Xing's safety.
Xu Xing usually spent his time drawing talismans and practicing in the worship hall, but Jiang Yun, on the other hand, enjoyed the quiet and began to concentrate on researching the Shenpo Pill.
"All the spiritual medicines are ready, only the most crucial demon beast soul is missing."
Jiang Yun thought for a moment, then scanned the room with his spiritual sense and discovered Xu Xing drawing talismans. He didn't disturb him, but simply left a message saying he was going out for a while. Then he left the worship hall and headed towards the inner city.
He still wanted to ask specifically to see if he could find the second-level beast soul he needed.
"I'm sorry, Senior, but we don't have any second-tier demon beast souls. They're difficult to collect and preserve, and they have a wide range of uses. Demon hunters usually find them occasionally and sell them to us, but they usually sell them quickly. How about you leave a sound transmission note and I'll notify you as soon as I have them?"
Jiang Yun asked several people in a row, and they all said the same thing. This was also the reason why he hadn't collected monster souls in recent years, because they were difficult to preserve.
After a demon beast's soul leaves its body, it must be collected using special techniques. Once collected, it's placed in a specialized soul-gathering bottle. However, even the best soul-gathering bottle can't guarantee the soul won't slowly dissipate. Only with the legendary Soul-Gathering Tree, a legendary treasure from the world of immortal cultivation, can the soul be prevented from slowly dissipating and, instead, nourished.
Word spread throughout the inner city, to every possible shop selling it. Aside from a few first-level demon beast souls, there weren't even a single second-level one. Seeing his search fruitless, Jiang Yun prepared to return to the offering hall to ask Lin Chengsi for any connections. Just then, a cultivator he hadn't seen in a while, Zhang Cheng, sent him a voice message.
