Xiao Zhan once again synchronized his consciousness with the "Xiao Zhan" located in the Soul Realm, and he slowly opened his eyes.
A coolness suddenly appeared in his mouth, and then a rich sweetness spread.
"Xiao Zhan, come, have a grape."
Xiao Zhan found himself lying on a lounge chair, with a graceful, mature, and charming woman sitting beside him.
This beautiful woman was looking at him with tender affection, and a plate of fruit was placed beside her.
Her long, slender fingers were pinching a grape, seemingly ready to feed him.
Xiao Zhan was stunned for a long time… What was happening?
"Xiao Zhan, if you stare at me like that, I'll be shy." The mature and beautiful woman's face showed a blush, like a shy maiden.
Xiao Zhan slapped his face, finally realizing this was not an illusion, and asked in utter bewilderment, "What are you Soul Clan doing?"
"It's another Xiao Zhan… I've been observing you for a long time, you know." Hun Mi seemed not at all surprised by the change in Xiao Zhan's personality and replied with a smile:
"Isn't this that scoundrel Hun Zhang? He said he adopted a father, so of course, I, as his mother, had to come and see…"
Xiao Zhan: "?"
No, are you serious?
He really couldn't handle this situation. It was even more troublesome than Soul Emperor!
…
Xiao Yan began to refine a body for Yao Chen according to the secret method recorded by Yao Chen.
The body used was still the corpse of an enemy collected by Venerable Feng in the original work, a four-star Dou Venerate level, which was better than the body of Old Ground Demon Ghost that Xiao Yan had prepared.
As for the soul, it had not been captured by the Soul Hall, and its origin had not been largely extracted, so Yao Chen's soul was only a bit weak and in poor condition, but it did not affect his revival.
After he revived and had his own body, the weakness of his soul would also quickly alleviate and recover.
Xiao Yan and Yao Chen brought the necessary items to a stone pagoda in the back mountain of Starcloud Pavilion.
The pill was an eighth-grade pill, and the body was a Dou Venerate body, so they also replaced the required monster beast essence blood with eighth-tier monster beast essence blood.
However, just as they were about to take action, a soft chuckle sounded, and a man completely shrouded in a black robe suddenly appeared before them.
They couldn't even figure out how this person had arrived.
Yao Chen and Xiao Yan both changed their expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Amon, dressed in a black robe and concealing his face, said in a disguised hoarse voice:
"No need to be so nervous, I'm here to make a deal with you."
"What deal? Your Excellency, hiding your head and tail like this, it's hard for us to trust you." Yao Chen said in a deep voice.
Amon paid no attention to their attitude and spoke to himself:
"Whether you trust me or not is another matter, why not listen to the content of the deal first… I have a Ninth-Rank Treasure Pill level Bone-Melting Blood Pill, a Dou Saint body, and a few drops of ninth-tier monster beast essence blood here…
"This is the reward I give, and the price you need to pay is that each of you owes me one opportunity to refine a pill."
Although his voice was very soft, it exploded in Xiao Yan and Yao Chen's ears like a thunderclap.
Ninth-Rank Treasure Pill, Dou Saint body, ninth-tier monster beast essence blood, no matter which one, they were all things they could only dream of…
Even among those ancient races, these were extremely precious treasures. But such precious treasures were only for a light promise from the two of them?
A sense of unreality and absurdity rose in Xiao Yan and Yao Chen's hearts.
"Why? A Bone-Melting Blood Pill is generally not needed by normal people, let alone a Ninth-Rank Bone-Melting Blood Pill… Since you can produce a Ninth-Rank Bone-Melting Blood Pill, it means you can refine a Ninth-Rank pill, so why do you still need my and Master's promises?" Xiao Yan asked, inquiring about the most perplexing point.
Amon nodded: "Good question, but the answer is also very simple… Ninth-Rank pills are also graded, namely Ninth-Rank Treasure Pill, Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pill, and ninth grade golden pill. I can only refine Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pill, this is my limit… Refining pills also requires talent, you know."
He let out a sigh, seemingly lamenting his lack of talent in refining pills.
This was the truth; Amon currently couldn't refine a ninth grade golden pill because refining a ninth grade golden pill not only required skill and experience but also a profound spiritual insight during pill refining, and Amon lacked that flash of inspiration.
But Xiao Yan and Yao Chen were dumbfounded, their heads buzzing, looking at him with shock.
Xiao Yan was a little better; he didn't know much about the top matters of the alchemy world, but Yao Chen was in extreme shock.
Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pill, it had been hundreds of years since anyone was rumored to have refined one… If this mysterious strong man wasn't bragging, then he could probably be called the number one Alchemist in the world!
At this moment, regardless of his stance or identity, he couldn't help but show solemn respect. This was respect for a pioneer in the path of alchemy.
Amon continued: "What I need is at least a ninth grade golden pill…
"In my estimation, if Venerable Yao can become a Medicine Saint and his spirit power is further enhanced, there's a high probability he can achieve it.
"And you have also shown potential no less than his… Hmm… Your promise is just a bonus; anyway, I wanted to add this, and you don't mind."
Just like when Xiao Yan picked up bargains, he always liked to include a few extra items, making the other party give him his real target as a bonus. In Amon's transaction with them, Xiao Yan's promise, which was a bonus, was even more valuable.
Yao Chen remembered that the Soul Hall was capturing souls everywhere, especially valuing the souls of Alchemists, and couldn't help but ask, "You wouldn't be from the Soul Hall, would you?"
Amon smiled and shook his head: "No… At least not now. Hmm, maybe it is… It might also be considered so."
Yao Chen and Xiao Yan were both stunned by his vague answer.
Amon continued gently: "That's not important, is it? If our relationship becomes very bad and we are mortal enemies, would I still dare to entrust the pills to you for refining?"
Yao Chen nodded, then showed a wry smile: "Senior truly overestimates me. ninth grade golden pill… This is something that has been extinct since ancient times. I don't have that confidence."
His tone became much more respectful. The path of alchemy was his belief, and facing someone who was at the forefront of this path in the current world, he didn't mind performing the disciple's Thank you.
Amon responded: "But I have confidence in you."
Yao Chen was still a bit dazed, feeling very unreal, and confirmed again: "Are there really only these conditions? No other additional conditions?"
"No, I only need you to swear that when refining pills for me, you will do your best." Amon's voice was gentle, carrying a benevolent elder-like warmth.
Yao Chen and Xiao Yan exchanged glances. Although there was no communication, they understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
