Chapter 276: Smelled the aura of his soul

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

After hearing what the old man said, Sima You Yue’s heart skipped a beat. He was talking about a flower that symbolised a Senior Devil… was he talking about Mo Sha?

“Who is that senior devil?” She asked as she blinked her eyes.

“You don’t know the Senior Devil?” The old man threw the question back and her, then said, “That’s right, it’s normal that this place doesn’t know about that.”

Sima You Yue retracted her hand and said, “Old Grandpa, this hundred leaf flower is best used when fresh, aren’t you going back to refine it?”

The old man was not anxious and all though, and replied, “That box of mine can maintain its freshness. It will be no problem however long you leave it there. kid, you seem to know quite a bit about refining. Are you a person from Saint City?”

“Nope, but I want to go to Saint City.” Sima You Yue said.

“That’s true as well. I have never seen you when I went to the alchemist guild.” The old man said.

“Is old grandpa from Saint City?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Nope, I’ve only been there for half a month.” The old man replied, “It isn’t fun there. I stayed for a few days before coming out.”

“A few days?” Sima You Yue looked at him with confusion, saying, “Didn’t they already activate the great city protection array at Saint City? How did you manage to get out?”

“Tch, you call that a great city protection array. I just walked out and that great array didn’t stop me at all.” The old man really looked down on the standard of that great array. However, when he thought about how this was just a lower realm, he didn’t criticise it that much.

However, his words really stunned Sima You Yue!

The great city protection array of Saint City protected it for a hundred to a thousand years, so its power spoke for itself. However, this kind of array was actually not even worth this old man’s notice. What kind of identity did he have?

Could he have come down from the upper realms?

When she thought of this possibility, she smiled at that old man, saying, “Old man, did you come down from the upper realms?”

The old man stared at her then looked away, saying, “You kid, you’re quite perceptive! You’re only slightly worse than my disciple. However, that kid is a bit more two-faced than you.”

“Who even knows your disciple!” Sima You Yue secretly thought, but the smile on her face remained. She asked, “What did old grandpa come to the Yi Lin continent to do?”

“Find something.” The old man said.

“What are you looking for, want my help?”

“You wouldn’t know even if I told you. And you would have any way of helping me either.” The old man shook his head.

This time, he had come here to look for his disciple’s soul. If he said it, he would definitely scare this kid to death.

Sima You Yue was not surprised when she saw him reject her. In any case, they only met just now.

Seeing that the sky had already turned dark, those guys would definitely come and find her if she continued to stay outside. She said to the old man, “Old grandpa, I have to head back. You should be more careful on the mountain. It’s not safe here. Bye bye!”

Halcyon had told her before that he was only able to forcefully fight one battle because the creature of Forgotten Worry Island had been suppressed. If it hadn’t been suppressed, its power would have been unimaginable.

Little Roar had said before that the guy’s aura in the ten thousand beast mountain was not exactly the same as the guy on Forgotten Worry Island, but it was still a huge guy. This old man might have been from the upper realms, but she did not know his strength, so she just kindly told him.

There was something on this island. It was something that the old man had sensed on the first day that he arrived on Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. He never expected that this kid would know as well, and he started to grow curious about her.

“Hey, kid.” The old man called Sima You Yue.

“Sima You Yue.” Sima You Yue stopped. She did not like people to address her as ‘hey’, and said her own name.

“Kid Sima.” The guy called out a new form of address for her, “How did you know this place isn’t safe?”

There was no choice. He was too curious about this, and this might be his biggest weakness.

When he saw Sima You Yue, he felt like there was much that was curious about her.

He was clearly a young man, so why did his pair of eyes look like they would not be moved by any good item, and why did his entire person give off a kind of boundless feeling.

This kind of feeling was something he had only seen in his own disciple when he was being pretentious.

“I guessed it.” Sima You Yue said.

“How did you guess it?” The old man asked.

“Old grandpa, I really have to go. Otherwise, my family will become anxious.” Sima You Yue said.

“You can only go after you’ve told me.” His true appearance was leaking out.

“Why don’t you tell me what you’re using the hundred leaf flower to refine, then I’ll tell you. How about that?” Sima You Yue smiled.

“Three Yuan pill.” The old man didn’t even think before revealing the pill that he was going to refine. “It’s your turn to tell me.”

“So it’s the Three Yuan pill!” Sima You Yue mused, “But there’s only a few types of pills you can refine with that hundred leaf flower.”

“I’ve already told you, but you haven’t told me how you guessed it.” The old man said.

“It’s actually really simple!” Sima You Yue said, “There is movement on the entire Ten Thousand Beast mountain. Also, many beasts are headed towards Saint City. If it isn’t too safe, then what could it be?”

“…” The old man was a bit depressed when he received this answer. Could it be that he had misunderstood what she meant?

“Alright, old grandpa, I’ve already told you the answer, so I’m going to go back now!” Sima You Yue said, “Bye bye old grandpa.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She waved to the old man, then called out Little Roc and left.

The old man watched her leave and his eyes were filled with puzzlement. However, he didn’t call out to her and let her leave.

Sima You Yue only asked when they had left quite a distance from that mountain peak, “Mo Sha, what was up with you just now?”

“I felt the aura of my soul.” Mo Sha’s voice sounded.

“Your soul?” Sima You Yue was really surprised, “That old grandpa from earlier? Is he the other half of your soul?”

“No.” Mo Sha said, “That person’s soul is whole. The person who reincarnated has a soul that is incomplete. It should be someone who reincarnated that he spends time with.”

“Then why didn’t you grab him to ask him about where your body is?” Sima You Yue asked.

“He’s very strong. My current power cannot suppress him.” Mo Sha said, “It’d be the same even if I counted you in.”

Sima You Yue was speechless. Then, she asked, “Then what are we going to do now?”

“Go and get close to him. See who hangs out around him.” Mo Sha said.

“Get close to him? He’s someone from the upper realms. How am I supposed to get close to him?” Sima You Yue was at a loss for words.

“Think of a way.” Sima You Yue kept silent after that and did not speak anymore.

Sima You Yue turned around and looked. Could it be that she was supposed to head back now? But what was she supposed to say once she got back? It’s not like she could ask the old man whether there was anyone by his side whose soul was incomplete. Who knows, he might immediately exterminate her on the spot.

“Sigh…” She sighed and said, “He said that he came to Saint City, so he shouldn’t be leaving so quickly, right? Should I go back and look for him?”

While she was still undecided, a loud sound was heard coming from Dragon Mountain. She was worried that something had happened over at camp, so she got Little Roc to fly over and take a look.

Before she reached Dragon Mountain, from far away, she saw two people in the sky looking downwards. The loud sound from earlier should have been made by the attacks of those two.

Little Roc flew faster as Sima You Yue took a closer look at the duo.

“You Yang?”
