Dragon Covenant

Chapter 8

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn. Albert Martin slowly crawled to the bedside and passed out again after lying on the bed. When he woke up again, it was already evening. At this moment, Emily was sitting by the bedside, staring at Albert Martin. "What's the matter with you? Why has your hair turned white after just a nap, and you're so weak?"

Albert Martin said, "Emily, give me your hand." Emily stretched out her small hand, and immediately Albert Martin grasped it. Then a faint soul power emerged on his palm. Emily's eyes widened in shock as she said, "Albert Martin, has your Soul Seed awakened?"

She clasped his hand with her slender fingers and sent a trace of soul power into Albert Martin's body. She found that the Soul Seed had indeed awakened and the soul was full of vitality. "Is this a Wood-element Soul?"

"Was it something left by your father and mother that solved it?"

Albert Martin nodded.

Emily said happily, "This is the best news in recent years."

Albert Martin could feel that Emily was really happy now. Then Emily said, "I'll go back to the Newhurst Advanced Academy early tomorrow morning. Sister Cherry will stay in Navia City for a while to help manage the Chamber of Commerce. If you have a problem, you can go directly to her."

"Don't fall behind in your cultivation. I hope we'll meet again at the Newhurst Advanced Academy next time."

Early the next morning, Albert Martin watched Emily's convoy leave, along with Uncle Lee on one side and the sexy and hot Sister Cherry on the other.

Albert Martin said to Uncle Lee, "Please ask for a week's leave for me. I want to rest at home."

Albert Martin was extremely weak now. Besides, he still needed to find the Soul Refining Technique for cultivating the soul to upgrade the soul level. Although there were many Soul Refining Techniques in the Navia Academy, there were also many exchange conditions for obtaining them. It wasn't as convenient as his family's library.

Uncle Lee said, "Yes, Young Master."

Albert Martin then turned his gaze to Sister Cherry.

Cherry looked at him with a somewhat charming gaze and said with a smile, "What can I do for you, Young Master?"

Albert Martin smiled and said, "Please help me buy some fourth-star Soul Liquids."

Cherry blinked her eyelashes. Soul Liquids were used to upgrade the Soul Star level. Since you were born without a soul, what do you need Soul Liquids for? She was puzzled but still agreed. "How many bottles do you want, Young Master?"

Albert Martin thought for a moment and said, "Please buy 50 bottles first."

Cherry thought she had heard wrong and hurriedly repeated, "Young Master, do you really want 50 bottles of fourth-star Soul Liquids?"

Soul Liquids were extremely precious things. On the market, a bottle of fourth-star Soul Liquid usually cost 1,000 gold coins, so 50 bottles would be 50,000 gold coins.

The total annual income of all the industries of the Martin family in Navia City was about 300,000 gold coins, and the industries of the Martin family in Navia City were shrinking at present. Actually, gold coins were not a problem for the Martin family, but it was really strange to buy 50 bottles of Soul Liquids all at once.

Soul Liquids were used to upgrade the Soul Star level. When Soul Liquids were synthesized, there were many impurities. Generally, if too much Soul Liquid was used, the impurities would corrode the soul, causing the Soul Star level to stagnate and reach its limit.

Many people didn't use Soul Liquids without restraint. Generally, they only used one or two bottles a month. This would reduce the impact of impurities on the soul and thus maximize the benefits. So others usually only bought one or two bottles of Soul Liquids.

Was buying 50 bottles at once to stock up for two years?

Cherry didn't understand what Albert Martin was doing it for.

After all, Albert Martin was the Young Master, and Emily had also said to assist the Young Master.

So Cherry nodded and agreed.

"Thank you, Sister Cherry." Albert Martin then turned and entered the old mansion.

In the library, when the steward saw Albert Martin enter, he was slightly stunned at first and then hurriedly and respectfully went forward to greet him. Albert Martin nodded slightly and ordered, "Find all the Soul Refining Techniques suitable for fourth-star souls in the library."

The steward quickly replied, "Yes, please wait a moment, Young Master." With that, he hurriedly walked towards the depths of the library. Albert Martin stood with his hands behind his back, slowly scanning the surrounding bookshelves with his eyes. Soon, the steward came running back, panting, with a dozen ancient books in his hands. "Young Master, these are the Soul Refining Techniques suitable for fourth-star soul power currently found in the library." Albert Martin took the ancient books and gently opened them, with concentration and expectation in his eyes.

The Soul Refining Technique had a clear grading system, which was successively divided into Common Level, Spiritual Level, Celestial Level, God Level, and Saint Level. Moreover, each level was further subdivided into Upper, Middle, and Lower Grades. This hierarchical system clearly outlined a growth path for cultivators. Common Level Soul Refining Techniques were quite common and could be found everywhere; Spiritual Level and Celestial Level Soul Refining Techniques began to show differences and became the targets pursued by intermediate forces; God Level Soul Refining Techniques were extremely rare and only top forces could possess them; and Saint Level Soul Refining Techniques were so precious that it was hard to describe. Once they appeared, they would surely trigger a frantic scramble in the entire cultivation world.
