"Xiao Se, how is the situation?" As soon as Xiao Se and the others exited the Hall of Souls, Wind Venerable hurried up to them, unable to wait.
"The members of the Hall of Souls have all been executed, and Yao Chen has been rescued. However, because his Soul Origin was extracted by the Hall of Souls, he has fallen into a deep slumber again. He is currently resting inside the Soul-nourishing storage ring." Xiao Se handed over the storage ring containing Yao Chen's Soul.
Sensing the faint Soul aura inside the storage ring, which was like a candle flickering in the wind, Wind Venerable was filled with uncontrollable rage. He did not take the storage ring, but instead knelt before Xiao Se immediately.
"Wind Venerable, what are you doing? Please, get up quickly." Xiao Se had roughly guessed what Wind Venerable was thinking. The Soul trauma Yao Chen had suffered had damaged his Origin; it was not something that could be healed by ordinary Soul-repairing or Soul-replenishing Spirit Medicine or Medicinal Pill. That was why he was seeking help from Xiao Se, a Peak eighth-tier Alchemist.
"I know this is asking too much, but I still implore you to save Yao Chen. Wind Idle is willing to lead all the members of Starfall Pavilion to join the Sea Alliance and serve the Alliance Master as his loyal subordinates." Wind Venerable knew that Xiao Se had established a force called the Sea Alliance in the Northwest Continent, but having just arrived in the Central Plains, he had not yet established a foothold. At this moment, Starfall Pavilion was undoubtedly the best bargaining chip to save Yao Chen.
"Wind Venerable, what are you saying? It would be great if Starfall Pavilion could join the Sea Alliance, but I am not someone who seeks rewards for personal favors. Even if you didn't ask, I would still save Yao Chen." Xiao Se helped Wind Venerable up. Although these were polite words, one still had to play the part completely.
"Thank you, Alliance Master." Hearing these words from Xiao Se, Wind Venerable felt a sense of relief and simply addressed him as Alliance Master directly.
In truth, he was not acting on a whim by using Starfall Pavilion as a bargaining chip to join the Sea Alliance. Apart from saving Yao Chen, he had other considerations. With the achievements Xiao Se had attained so far, combined with his age, as long as he did not perish halfway, he would definitely be a figure standing at the very Peak of the Fighting Qi Continent in the future.
And since Xiao Se did not yet have a foothold in the Central Plains, rather than waiting until later to offer congratulations and curry favor, it was better to provide help in his time of need now, and incidentally, do Yao Chen a favor as well.
Seeing how sensible Wind Venerable was, Xiao Se could naturally guess what the former was thinking, but he didn't mind. In such matters, one is willing to strike, and the other is willing to suffer.
Xiao Se said, "Wind Venerable, this is not a place to stay for long. We will discuss Yao Chen's situation when we return."
As he spoke, Xiao Se released a giant Qi tentacle, enveloped everyone, and then activated the Flying Thunder God, disappearing from the spot.
Shortly after they left, a majestic aura broke through the spatial barrier and swept across the sky above the Hall of Souls. Upon seeing the devastated main hall, the aura roared towards the sky. Instantly, the heavens crumbled, the earth cracked, and the winds and clouds changed color.
On the other side, Xiao Zhan and the other seven had already been transported to the Pill Tower.
One had to marvel at the convenience of the Flying Thunder God. As long as he had enough Qi, he could teleport almost anywhere, provided there was a Soul mark and no spatial barrier.
"Wind Venerable, I will leave Xiao Zhan to you to have someone send him back to the Sea Alliance Headquarters in the Jia Ma Empire. As for Yao Chen, once the Materials are gathered, I will refine a body for him and help him resurrect." Xiao Se looked at Wind Venerable and said.
"I will send him back to the Sea Alliance Headquarters." Wind Venerable glanced at Xiao Zhan. Although he knew that it was his son who had harmed his good friend Yao Chen, out of respect for Xiao Se, he could not say anything. Moreover, Xiao Zhan himself was also a victim of the Hall of Souls.
Turning his gaze to Xiao Se, he asked with some hesitation, "But can Yao Chen really be resurrected? What Materials are needed? Starfall Pavilion has quite a collection; I will check if I have them."
"Yao Chen can naturally be resurrected." Xiao Se nodded with a smile and said, "The Materials needed are the skeleton of a Dou Zun expert, an eighth-tier Life Bone Fusion Blood Pill, three types of Heavenly Flames, and the essence Bloodline of a seventh-tier or higher Demonic Beast. As long as we have these, not to mention letting Yao Chen return to his Peak after resurrection, it is definitely possible."
"Of course, Yao Chen has had a lot of his Soul Origin sucked away during this period. Besides that, we also need to prepare the Soul Infant Fruit, a rare item that can replenish Soul Origin Qi, to restore his Soul."
Wind Venerable took out a skeleton of a Dou Zun expert. "Alliance Master, I only have one Dou Zun skeleton at the moment. I will also gather the essence Bloodline of a seventh-tier Demonic Beast and the Materials for refining the eighth-tier Life Bone Fusion Blood Pill as soon as possible. But as for the Heavenly Flames, the refining of the Life Bone Fusion Blood Pill, and the Soul Infant Fruit..."
Speaking of this, a look of difficulty appeared on Wind Venerable's Face. Among these things, except for the essence Bloodline of a seventh-tier or higher Demonic Beast and the Dou Zun skeleton he already had, the others were not easy for him to obtain.
Especially the Heavenly Flames; even for Yao Chen back then, he only possessed one.
"Do not worry, you just need to help me collect these Materials. If there are no finished medicinal herbs, seeds will do as well. I will handle the rest." Xiao Se put away the Dou Zun skeleton and casually took out a list, which listed the Materials for the Life Bone Fusion Blood Pill and some other medicinal herbs he needed.
"Oh, that's right. Please also keep an eye out for the Spatial Auction and see if there is any news about the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame Remnant Map."
"Yes, Alliance Master." Wind Venerable took the list, responded respectfully, and then tore open a spatial crack, leaving with Xiao Zhan.
"Xiao Se, I am going into seclusion next." Bibi Dong walked up to Xiao Se, a hint of reluctance appearing between her brows.
"You are going to refine the Qi of those people from the Hall of Souls, right?" Xiao Se gently stroked the dark hair on Bibi Dong's forehead.
Bibi Dong nodded. "I am afraid this seclusion will take quite some time—a few months at the shortest, and a year or so at the longest."
"You swallowed five Dou Zun and dozens of Dou Zong at once; it will indeed take effort to refine this massive amount of energy. Tomorrow, I will find the Dan Ta Three Giants and arrange a secret room for you in the Little Pill Tower; it will be safer there. As for tonight..." Xiao Se's mouth curled slightly as he leaned into Bibi Dong's ear and whispered, "You are mine."
Hearing this, a blush instantly appeared on Bibi Dong's pretty Face. She nodded slightly, leaned into Xiao Se's arms, and closed her beautiful eyes.
Come to think of it, they hadn't been intimate since coming to the Central Plains.
Just as the two were being affectionate, a resentful voice sounded from the side. Xiao Xue coughed a few times and said, "Ahem. Dad, although I know you and Mom are very loving, we are still here. You should pay attention to the influence even if you want to be intimate."
"Oh, you little girl, you actually dare to mock your dad." Xiao Se affectionately tapped Xiao Xue's forehead, then took out another storage ring and handed it to her, smiling. "Xue'er, your mother is about to go into seclusion, and I plan to spend more time with her. This storage ring contains a batch of sixth and seventh-tier Medicinal Pills. You can take Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to wander around Holy Pill City and buy whatever you like. Just don't leave Holy Pill City, otherwise, it will be hard for me to find you. By the way, tell Xuan Yi of the Little Pill Tower that Yao Chen has been rescued."
"I know. Then you and Mom, work hard and try to give me another younger brother or sister." Xiao Xue took the storage ring, made a Face at Xiao Se and Bibi Dong, and then happily ran out with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
For women, no matter where they are, shopping always has a fatal attraction.
