The Sacred Soul-Bonding Technique

“Where are the herbs?”. The old man asked.

“Truly… these are fifth grade triple purple leaves. Miss, may I ask where you get this?”. The old man asked Kun Chen Xie.

“These are given to me by my late master”. She replied.

“Oh my… then your master must be an alchemist. Are you an alchemist too?”. Asked the old man.

“Yes my late master was an alchemist, but giving you his name, that I cannot answer. As for myself I know a little about alchemy”. She said.

“Haha very good. I didn’t know that our city has an alchemist. By the way, what level of alchemy are you on?”. The old man asked.

“Ahmm before I give you an answer, can you tell me first how much you will give me for all of these?”. She said in a soft tone.

“Oh yes of course. Yun! *name of the person on the counter* give this young miss her money. By the way\, this old man’s name is Buming. I am the owner of this herb store”. Buming said.

“Respect to elder Mubing”. Kun Chen Xie lowered her head and paid respect to Mubing.

“Please don’t. An alchemist must never lower their head to a peasant like us. Even the emperor of a great nation respects alchemists” Mubing said.

“Well elder Mubing that doesn’t apply to me, I respect those you are worthy of my respect. As for you who have helped me in buying my herbs”. She relied.

The both of them talk. After a short while Yun came back with a bag of money.

“Miss here is your money. It is thirteen thousand gold coins”. Yun said with a smile.

“Thank you very much”. Kun Chen Xie bid her farewell to both Yun and Elder Mubing”.

Kun Chen Xie once again walked the streets of Blue Sky City. She stopped at a clothes shop and bought three men’s clothings and two women’s clothes. Then she looked for a place to stay. She found an Inn, the famous Blue Sky Inn at the centre of the city.

She booked a room and rest.

On the other side

In the forest, the young man was waking up.

“Master, I’m so glad you’re alright. It’s all thanks to the master of the Silver Flame Phoenix”. Said the contracted beast of the young man.

“What do you mean the Silver Flame Phoenix? That beast has been missing for more than a century. How was he able to make it his contracted beast? And what do you mean thanks to him I’m healed? He helped me?” Hao Feng *name of the the young man* asked Flame *name of the Golden Flame Phoenix*

“Master, it’s not a he but a she. It was a woman. I don’t know what she was doing here but she came near you. Because of my bond with Silver Phoenix I was able to absorb that young miss’ spiritual energy. I made a bond between you two master. I’m very sorry I didn’t know what to do. You have been unconscious for the past few weeks. All I can do is to prevent another beast from coming near you”. Said Flame.

“You mean the sacred Soul-Bonding Technique? That answers why I can feel another soul. Well there’s nothing we can do. We just need to find that girl and marry her”. Hao Feng stated in a calm voice while trying to stand up.

“I can feel Silver Phoenix’s presence near. I think they are in the Blue Sky City. However, how will you make her marry you and complete the technique”.

*Soul-Bonding Technique is a sacred technique. The process to soul-binding technique consist of three parts. First\, the initiator needs to absorb the spiritual energy of the person they wanted to form a bond with. Second\, the person he/she is trying to bond to needs to acknowledge the initiator. Lastly the most important part. The uniting of the soul through the form of intercourse. When the Initiator fails to complete the technique\, he/she will be heavily pushnish. The worst punishment is death*

“Well first we can ask her nicely, but if she doesn't cooperate we can always force her right?”. Hao Feng told Flame.

“But master, She has Silver Phoenix. That damn beast is second to me. With your current condition I might not be it’s match”. Flame warned Hao Feng.

“We’ll see about that when we see her”. He replied.

“How about the Sky Eater Python?” He asked Flame.

“Master, It’s inside your spatial ring”. Flame replied.

“That good, I can take some of it’s blood and I can give it as a gift to that girl”. Hao Feng stated.

I’ll be coming for you, you lucky girl +
