C218 Eccentric Old Man



C218 Eccentric Old Man

0After a night of cultivation, Zhang Fan had basically returned to his previous state. Under this state, he could clearly feel that his strength had improved once more.    

    

"Are you alright?" Yue Yi asked Zhang Fan with a worried expression.    

    

"I'm fine." Zhang Fan shook his head with a smile on his face. He then took a deep breath, and with a glint in his eyes, he said, "The inner courtyard is considered the gathering place for the Azure Cloud's elites." Having said that, he was actually enjoying the atmosphere.    

    

Yue Yi nodded slightly and did not say much.    

    

At this time, Zhang Fan suddenly thought of something. He couldn't help but say, "Let's go and eat. After eating, go and take a look at Soul Refining. Coincidentally, you also choose to learn alchemy or refining."    

    

"En," Yue Yi nodded again and the two of them walked outside.    

    

After the two of them finished their meal, the first thing they did was go to the alchemy hall. There were still quite a few students there, and after roughly understanding everything, they basically knew that there was a course here, and then there was a place to practice. Since alchemy was like this, then so was refining.    

    

"Which one are you going to choose?" Zhang Fan asked with a smile.    

    

"Forging," Yue Yi said at this moment. She would look at all the notes Master Kyle had given her by Zhang Fan when she had the time, and it could be said that she had a basic grasp of forging. Furthermore, she did not want Zhang Fan to give her notes to be wasted; after all, this was also Zhang Fan's kind intentions.    

    

"Is that so?" Zhang Fan smiled and brought Yue Yi back. If he wanted to learn crafting, the first thing he needed to do was take a soul power test.    

    

On the other hand, Yue Yi successfully passed the test. Moreover, looking at the shocked expression on the examinee's face, it proved that Yue Yi's soul power was also extremely strong. The family of people in charge would definitely not have such an expression.    

    

"You can go study," Yue Yi said with a smile. "I'll go to the Soul Refining Sect to take a look. Don't you know it's suitable for me? If you have something, just come find me here."    

    

"Mn," Yue Yi nodded her head lightly as she watched Zhang Fan's departing back as they walked towards the artifact forging study area.    

    

When Zhang Fan arrived at the Soul Refining Grounds, he discovered that there seemed to be some unspeakable seriousness here. This was because there weren't many people here, or to be more precise, he hadn't seen many of them. One, or two, or three …    

    

Actually, soul refining is basically something that doesn't meet the standards of a soul user trying to refine their soul into a support part of their body, and the big reason is still because of their position. Whether it's refining or refining pills, they all have very high status in Martial Spirit Continent, so most people would choose to refine their soul.    

    

"Do you want to learn Soul Refinement?" At this moment, an old man walked over and asked Zhang Fan.    

    

"Yes." Zhang Fan nodded his head with a strange expression on his face. The old man's hair was messy and his clothes were dirty. It seemed like he hadn't washed them in a long time.    

    

"Test it out!" The old man didn't waste any more time on words. He then took out a crystal ball and placed it on the table, indicating that Zhang Fan could now put it on the table.    

    

Zhang Fan had tested it before, but Elder Huang had also tested it, so he was very familiar with it. He put his hand on it, and in an instant, it started to shine.    

    

"Hmm, this test crystal is broken!" The old man was stunned and frowned. He glanced at Zhang Fan and said, "Wait a moment." The old man walked in and took out another crystal, asking Zhang Fan to put it back in.    

    

Zhang Fan gave a helpless smile and directly put it on. However, as the color flashed, a grayish-black color appeared.    

    

"There's a problem." Clearly, the old man didn't think that Zhang Fan had really reached the Saint-rank.    

    

"Eh …" Zhang Fan wanted to say something, but the old man walked in again. He didn't take the three or four pills out and said, "Let's try it this time."    

    

Zhang Fan nodded his head helplessly and began to experiment. In the end, he tried out the last few that the old man had brought, all of them were still grayish-black.    

    

"What happened?" The old man couldn't help but say. He frowned and said, "How could it be like this. Wait a moment, I'll borrow two from somewhere else. I don't think there'll be a problem for some time."    

    

When the old man stood up, Zhang Fan opened his mouth and stopped him, "Teacher, I've tested this color before."    

    

"Go to the side! I'm not stupid yet!" The old man glanced at Zhang Fan and laughed at himself. "If your soul is so strong, why don't you choose refining and refining pills? You must choose to refine your soul!"    

    

"Because I don't think those two are suitable for me." Zhang Fan shrugged his shoulders helplessly.    

    

"Cut the crap, I'm going to find another one. If it's still gray …" With that, the elder walked out.    

    

Looking at the back view of the old man as he left, Zhang Fan smiled helplessly once more. What could he do now? He could only wait and see.    

    

The old man's speed was still very fast, and he didn't turn back very soon. He then placed a crystal ball on the table, indicating that Zhang Fan should carry out another test.    

    

Zhang Fan had no choice but to place his hand on it. As the Soul Pill trembled, the color of the crystal ball changed once more before finally stopping at a grayish-black color.    

    

"I'll go. Old Man Ding also tricked me. I'll find him to settle the score." The old man saw the color of the crystal ball, so without saying anything further, he stood up and picked up the crystal and was about to leave angrily. However, he was stopped by Zhang Fan halfway.    

    

He hadn't thought that this old man would still doubt him even after going through so many tests. However, he had already thought of a method to prove himself, because he had heard Elder Huang say that when one's soul reached the Saint level, they could form a soul fire.    

    

Therefore, Zhang Fan didn't waste any more time on idle chatter. He spread open his right hand, and a greyish black flame instantly soared up.    

    

The flame didn't have the slightest bit of warmth, but at the same time, it gave off an extremely strange feeling.    

    

"Soul Fire!" The old man was shocked and threw the crystal in his hand. After that, Zhang Fan seemed to hear the sound of something shattering.    

    

However, the old man didn't seem to care at all. His eyes were fixated on the soul flame in Zhang Fan's right hand. He carefully felt it, yes, rubbing his eyes, yes, he wasn't dreaming, but how was this possible?    

    

First of all, how could a young man possess such powerful soul power? Furthermore, with such a powerful soul power, if he were to refine pills or weapons, his future accomplishments absolutely could not be underestimated. How could he possibly choose to refine his soul?    

    

"What's your name?" the old man asked, staring at Zhang Fan.    

    

"Feng Ling." Zhang Fan said the name of this world.    

    

"Feng Ling, is it?" The old man raised his eyebrows as a bright light flashed across his eyes. He looked excited. Then, he stared at Zhang Fan and said, "Are you sure you want to refine your soul?"    

    

"Yeah," Zhang Fan nodded as he spoke.    

    

"Very good!" At this moment, the old man's body was filled with excitement. His eyes flashed with an indescribable glint as he said, "Boy, you've chosen the right one. Following big brother is correct!"    

    

"Follow me, brother!" Zhang Fan had a strange expression on his face. "Is this old man okay?"    

    

"I didn't expect there would be a Saint Ranked soul expert here. Not bad, not bad!" The old man became excited again, then said, "Wait here, I'll return the crystal for old man Ding's test." The old man walked outside, but he quickly stopped and said, "Eh, where's the test crystal?"    

    

"Is that one?" Zhang Fan asked as he looked at the shattered part.    

    

"Damn, he actually broke it. What should I do?" The old man's expression immediately changed.    

    

"Since you have so many, can't you just casually take one over?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.    

    

"No, Old Man Ding only knows his own things!" the old man said helplessly. He then shrugged and said, "Who cares about him. Will Old Man Ding still be able to eat me?"    

    

Zhang Fan nodded his head lightly. It was just a crystal. There was no need to do this.    

0

    

"Let's go, make a trip with this brother." Old Man Ding said.    

    

"What am I going to do?" Zhang Fan asked, puzzled.    

    

"Just say that it was you who fell down!" The old man said solemnly.    

    

"Cough cough!" Zhang Fan's eyes widened. How could this old man be so shameless?    

    

"Heh, after this matter is done, the benefits will be yours from now on." The old man said with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.    

    

"I didn't do it!" Zhang Fan shrugged his shoulders. If it wasn't his fault, who would be willing to admit it?    

    

"I know you didn't do it, so just treat it as helping me," the old man said with a pleading look on his face.    

    

The old man in front of Zhang Fan was completely speechless. Was Old Man Ding still going to eat him? How come the taste and feel had changed so quickly?    

    

"No!" Zhang Fan firmly refused. He was here to learn, not to be cannon fodder as a shield.    

    

"Fine, you win!" The old man's lips moved, but there was nothing he could do about it. He really did have a way to deal with the others, but he really didn't want to part with Zhang Fan. With such a powerful soul power, he would definitely have some face if he went out and forced Zhang Fan to leave.    

    

He randomly took out a crystal from the table and tidied it up. His robe looked somewhat dirty as he said, "Come with me."    

    

"Not going!" Zhang Fan shook his head. Although the old man had said this, what if the blame was pushed onto him again?    

    

"Don't worry, this brother won't push it to you. This brother is the type of person …" The elder snorted coldly. His expression was one of exceptional righteousness, and he had the appearance of a teacher.    

    

The corner of Zhang Fan's mouth slightly twitched. He felt like he had come to the wrong place. This old man had pushed the issue to him, and now he was saying that he was that kind of person? He was truly convinced by this old man.
