“There’s no need. The consulting fee is paid by the buyer. We’re information hunters. We would offend both parties if we took this.”

Lao Song waved his hand. He couldn’t accept this money. This would break the rules. Of course, the main reason was that this money wasn’t much!

“Alright, then I’ll treat you to a meal!”

Lin Xuan didn’t force him. Moreover, at this time, he recalled the hunter team he met in the dense forest. They had agreed to have a gathering after they returned.

“I’ll treat.”

“It’s fine. I know a few friends here. Let’s get together.”

Lin Xuan waved his hand and contacted the hunting team. The other party was very happy to hear he was alive. They thought that Lin Xuan had not contacted them for so long because he died.

The location of the restaurant was chosen by the man. It was a relatively secluded restaurant, but surprisingly, the business was very good. When Lin Xuan and Song Ming arrived together, there was already a long queue outside the restaurant.

“Oh, they’re there. Although this place isn’t eye-catching, the old foodies all remember this place in their hearts!”

Song Ming’s eyes lit up. He was looking forward to the dinner today. The food here wasn’t expensive, but there were many people who came, so there was a long queue. He had also heard of this place and had never tasted it before!

“Lin Xuan, this way!”

Xiaoqin stood by the window on the second floor and waved at Lin Xuan. She shouted happily.

The two of them came to the second floor. On the table was a pot of mutton and mutton bone soup that was boiling. The three of them looked at Lin Xuan with smiles on their faces. However, they found that there was another person behind Lin Xuan. It was Song Ming!

“Oh, it’s them.”

Song Ming walked forward and sat down without any hesitation. As a senior information hunter, there were very few people in the Western Capital’s low-end ability user interface that he did not know or was not familiar with. Moreover, this team was a pretty strong team, they had worked together once or twice before, and it was quite pleasant.

At this moment, he was considering whether to increase the cooperation priority of this spirit hunter team!

This cooperation priority was an internal thing of their information hunters, and it would not be spread out. Basically, everyone would have a list, either based on emotions or based on benefits.

The higher the cooperation priority was, the more regular customers one could get. The morality of the candidates was very important!

Lin Xuan was not clear about this; neither did he intend to influence the choices of others. He just liked the three members of the team. Even in Taixia Country, only a few people were willing to help the weak.

Additionally, he was interested in the authentic delicacies that the middle-aged man mentioned. The mutton pot soup was really delicious.

The mutton was still from Thunder Valley. After eating it, one would feel numb as if there was a snake-shaped lightning bolt in one’s mouth. With some fresh ingredients, although it was still cold here due to the environment, it felt exceptionally comfortable to have warm soup.

Moreover, this dipping sauce was specially made. The lamb meat with the right amount of dipping sauce was truly a top-notch delicacy. Drinking a mouthful of warm mutton soup was truly very satisfying!

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves to the fullest. However, there was no banquet in the world that would never end. A few of them made a promise to meet again in the future!

Lin Xuan returned to the manor with a big belly. The manor was very quiet. The three sisters had gone out shopping and had yet to return. Qin Fen had hung a do not disturb sign in his cultivation room, as for Yang Cheng, he had most likely gone to exchange ideas and discuss with his peers from other schools about the beauty ranking.

What a lonely night!

Shaking his head, he walked into the cultivation room. The strengthening of the primordial spirit could open a new chapter with soul essence absorption. Previously, the use of energy and blood to transform the primordial spirit into nourishment caused the imbalance between the two, but it wasn’t because of the imbalance between the quantity of the two. Instead, it was the imbalance between the transformed objects. The body was stronger than the primordial spirit, and it had always been the body’s sole way to strengthen the primordial spirit. A small amount of strengthening was fine, but it was clearly too much for him to handle the last time he tried.

Now, it was different. The primordial spirit had the replenishment of the soul essence, and there was also the transformation of his energy and blood. In this way, the balance between the two would not be broken. He gained a lot of benefits for strengthening the primordial spirit, however, it was not so useful to the body. It was better than nothing though!

With a piece of soul essence in his hand, he fell into a chaotic cultivation state. The soul essence surged through the connection between the tribulations and was converted into an intermediate product. His energy and blood rapidly depleted as his life force surged up and replenished the energy and blood consumption immediately after.

In just a few breaths, the soul essence was completely consumed. Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to take out the next piece. Instead, he carefully polished it and assimilated the foreign aura brought by the foreign soul essence until there was nothing left.

On the path of cultivation, haste makes waste!

This was especially true for dual tribulations, which was not a cultivation system that belonged to the dungeon system!

He took out the second piece of soul essence and continued to cultivate, repeating the previous operations. Suddenly, Lin Xuan frowned. The time spent by the strange aura brought by the foreign soul essence had grown.

It was a very slight increase, but with his sharp senses, Lin Xuan did make a discovery.

What was the reason?

Would this become a hidden danger in the future?

For a moment, Lin Xuan was a little hesitant. After thinking for a while, Lin Xuan activated the fourth skill. He used his mutated soul to recover his soul state.

The third soul essence is absorption!

Regardless of whether it was the tiny remnants or the wear and tear of his resistance, it wouldn’t affect Lin Xuan anymore. He could cultivate to his heart’s content.

After a brief analysis, he sent information to Luo Yan and his teacher respectively. The former was to inquire about the inside story while the latter was to inquire about the matters that needed attention when using the soul essence to cultivate.

Both of them replied very quickly.

[Luo Yan: There will be tiny remnants that can not be sensed when you are at the bottom rank. However, as long as it is not excessive, it will only be temporarily retained. It will dissipate after a certain period of time.]

[Rau Yanxing: Do not exceed five dollars for one-time cultivation!]
