Realm of the Night God

Chapter 557: Eager to Try

When facing Xu Meijing, Yang Haoran not only didn't show any temper, but even his brain seemed to become a bit muddled.

Xu Meijing, on the other hand, didn't show any courtesy when facing Yang Haoran, fully displaying her proud and arrogant personality.

After entering the villa, Yang Haoran directly led Xu Meijing to the study room and set up a restriction barrier.

Yang Haoran first brewed a pot of tea, and then the two sat down facing each other. Before Yang Haoran could even open his mouth, Xu Meijing spoke up.

"Now you can, boldly raising a ghost, aren't you afraid of getting yourself killed?"

Yang Haoran knew that Xu Meijing was referring to Xiu Juan, although Xiu Juan was wearing a flesh vessel, her Yin Qi was very obvious, and as a Burial Master, Xu Meijing couldn't possibly not see through Xiu Juan's true identity.

"Hehe, if possible, I wouldn't want to raise a ghost either, but her life has been very miserable, and her child is still very young. If I were to send her to the underworld, it would not only be a torment for her but also cause great harm to the child. I pitied the mother and child, so I took them in." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Xu Meijing frowned, then shook her head, clearly not supporting Yang Haoran's actions.

"There are too many people in this world who are suffering, they're all pitiful. How many can you help?" Xu Meijing asked.

Yang Haoran smiled and said, "I'm not a savior, I can't take care of that many pitiful people. I'll act according to the situation. If I encounter someone, I'll help if I can. If I can't see or help, I have no choice."Xu Meijing shook her head again, saying, "It's better not to get involved in such matters, lest you get burned. Besides, even if you want to help, can't you do it more low-key?"

Yang Haoran knew that Xu Meijing was speaking for his own good, and he certainly wouldn't misunderstand.

"Don't worry, I've long been prepared for this. If one day, the higher-ups really come after me because of this, I know how to get myself out of trouble." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"I almost forgot, you're a sly one, you dare to do this, you must have made thorough preparations. It seems my worries are unnecessary." Xu Meijing said, a hint of a smile on her face, which was the first time she had smiled since seeing Yang Haoran today.

Hearing this, Yang Haoran's face fell, and he couldn't help but say, "If you want to praise me, then praise me properly. If you want to tease me, then tease me properly. Don't do both, it's hard for me to tell."

"Am I praising you or teasing you, can't you tell?" Xu Meijing asked, a faint smile on her face.

"Hehe, let's not talk about this. Have you finished refining the item?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Xu Meijing didn't answer Yang Haoran's question, instead, she waved her hand and took out a small cauldron from her independent space.

This exquisite small cauldron, whether in terms of shape, size, or color, was identical to Yang Haoran's soul-refining cauldron.

Looking at the soul-refining cauldron floating in front of him, emitting black smoke, Yang Haoran knew that Xu Meijing had successfully refined it.

"Hehe, congratulations!" Yang Haoran said, his gaze returning from the soul-refining cauldron to Xu Meijing with a smile.

Xu Meijing's smile deepened upon hearing this, and then she waved her hand again, putting the soul-refining cauldron back into her independent space.

The soul-refining cauldron was something that couldn't be exposed to the light, so Xu Meijing didn't plan to let it stay outside for long. Anyway, both she and Yang Haoran had soul-refining cauldrons, so they both felt that there was nothing special about it, and there was nothing to research, it was just taken out to prove to Yang Haoran that her soul-refining cauldron had been successfully refined.

"This time, I was determined to refine the soul-refining cauldron. If I hadn't refined it, how could I have possibly come back?"

Xu Meijing smiled and opened her mouth, revealing a hint of pride on her face. However, she soon thought about how Yang Haoran had already refined the soul-refining cauldron, while she had only just managed to do so, and her pride quickly dissipated.

"Do you think you've already refined the soul pill by now?" Xu Meijing asked.

Yang Haoran didn't hide the truth and nodded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Meijing's eyebrows slightly twitched, and she continued to ask, "How's the effect of the soul pill?"

"It's the same as the one obtained from the underworld, with no difference between the two." Yang Haoran replied with a smile.

Xu Meijing's eyes lit up, and she couldn't hide her excitement.

Yang Haoran noticed Xu Meijing's reaction and couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you started refining yet?"

"I came to find you as soon as I returned to Ancheng, where would I have the time to refine?" Xu Meijing responded.

Yang Haoran poured two cups of tea, one in front of Xu Meijing and one in front of himself. Upon hearing Xu Meijing's words, he was still somewhat surprised, as he hadn't expected her to come find him so soon after returning to Ancheng.

As for why Xu Meijing had come to find him, Yang Haoran had some guesses in his mind.

"You're able to come to me so quickly, it's really unexpected. Let's have some tea, it's quite good." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Xu Meijing didn't decline and took a sip of the tea. After putting down the cup, she asked Yang Haoran again, "Since you've already refined the soul pill, your strength must have increased significantly."

Yang Haoran nodded, smiling, "It has indeed increased a lot."

"How much has it increased? Let me see." Xu Meijing asked curiously.

Yang Haoran hesitated, asking Xu Meijing, "Do you really want to see?"

"Don't waste words, hurry up." Xu Meijing said impatiently.

Seeing Xu Meijing's determination to see his current strength, Yang Haoran had no choice but to release his internal power.

As his power burst forth, a visible black smoke rose from Yang Haoran's body, a phenomenon that only occurred when Yin Qi reached a certain concentration.

The temperature in the study room also rapidly dropped due to the Yin Qi emitted by Yang Haoran, making the entire room feel like an ice cellar.

This was still Yang Haoran's power without opening his heaven soul; if he were to open it, his power would increase exponentially!

Xu Meijing's expression changed drastically upon feeling Yang Haoran's powerful energy, her beautiful face filled with shock.

Yang Haoran looked at Xu Meijing's shocked expression, and his smile grew even more radiant, with a hint of pride in his heart.

"How about it, do you want me to open my heaven soul and show you?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, don't open your heaven soul, it's already very impressive." Xu Meijing quickly replied.

Xu Meijing, also a Burial Master, knew that if Yang Haoran were to open his heaven soul, his power would surge even more. She was already shocked by his current display, let alone if he were to open his heaven soul.

"How many soul pills have you taken?" Xu Meijing asked, still in shock.

"About a few dozen, I suppose." Yang Haoran replied with a smile, as he dispersed the powerful energy and suppressed it to a minimum.

The black smoke no longer rose from his body, and the study room's temperature returned to normal.

Xu Meijing was even more shocked upon hearing that Yang Haoran had taken a few dozen soul pills in just a few months. Their annual salary was only three soul pills, and Yang Haoran had consumed several dozen in a short period, which was unimaginable.

"Is refining soul pills that easy?" Xu Meijing couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that easy, but it's not too difficult either. You'll understand when you try it yourself. You'll find that the Yin Division is really stingy with us." Yang Haoran said.

Xu Meijing was deeply intrigued by Yang Haoran's words and stood up, her face filled with eagerness.

"I really can't wait, I'll go back to Ancheng and try it out right away. Oh, and I brought you a nice gift!"
