"What's the matter? Why did you come to find me? You actually dared to leave me, unconscious, all alone in this godforsaken palace. You really have no sense of gratitude."
Unlike her usual calm demeanor, Chen Yan walked in and continuously complained to Ling Mo Xie.
"Hehe, wasn't I just out handling some business? Taking you along would be much more dangerous than leaving you in the palace," Ling Mo Xie smiled and explained.
Watching the conversation between the human and the beast, Izumo King was astonished, his eyes nearly popping out.
How could it be that in a palace filled with talented individuals, no one had noticed that Chen Yan could actually speak? Moreover, everyone thought she was just a rather strange ordinary low-level Spirit Beast, without any sense of cultivation.
However, judging by the current situation, it seemed completely different!
Being able to speak already indicated a good bloodline; not having any cultivation was also impossible. Could it be that Chen Yan was even better than those experts in the palace, able to hide her cultivation from them?
Ling Mo Xie noticed Izumo King's shock but merely smiled knowingly. He greeted Izumo King and then had someone lead him toward the Alchemy Room while Izumo King remained stunned for a long time.
At this moment, the spies from various factions hidden within the Izumo Palace began to take action. This was certainly a shocking piece of information that needed to be reported back to their respective forces.
In the Alchemy Room of Izumo Kingdom Palace, Chen Yan retreated while glaring at Ling Mo Xie, who held a gleaming dagger in his hand. "What are you doing? Is this your way of thanking me for withdrawing troops from Spirit City? I told you, you're truly heartless!"
Hearing Chen Yan's accusations, Ling Mo Xie chuckled and said, "How could I be heartless? However, it's your time to shine now. Quickly offer your Blood; this matter requires you! Look! How much I value you?"
"Don't think that flattering words will make me submit easily! Hmph! I am the renowned Suanni! What kind of flattery have I not heard before?" Chen Yan huffed, raising her head defiantly.
"Oh? Is that so? But how come I find that no one knows what a Suanni is anymore? Even the food you used to eat has disappeared completely. Otherwise, why would you be sticking around me?" Ling Mo Xie raised an eyebrow and unhesitatingly exposed Chen Yan.
"This..." Chen Yan was momentarily speechless.
"Alright, quickly offer your blood! This matter really depends on you. Look at how important you are! It's just a little blood; it won't take your life!" Ling Mo Xie said impatiently, as he was still waiting for the Alchemy!
He grabbed Chen Yan and used a dagger to cut into Chen Yan's claw, prompting Hong Chi to bring a jade vial to collect it.
At that moment, seeing Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi's actions, Chen Yan felt calm and did not struggle, allowing Ling Mo Xie to cut towards its claw with the gleaming dagger.
"Clang!" A sound like weapons clashing rang out, and Ling Mo Xie couldn't help but widen his eyes: "No way? Chen Yan, your skin is so thick?"
"Clatter!" At this moment, the dagger in Ling Mo Xie's hand broke and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. In this vast Alchemy Room where only Ling Mo Xie and a few others were present, it sounded particularly loud and mocking.
"Hehe, how about that? If you have the ability, go ahead and take it! It's just a little blood; I'm not stingy," Chen Yan said triumphantly.
Ling Mo Xie looked at Chen Yan's smug expression and wished he could strangle it.
In the end, Ling Mo Xie had no choice but to throw the dagger aside and said, "It's just a drop of blood; be sensible! Just consider it helping out!"
"If it's not your blood, of course you wouldn't care!" Chen Yan replied calmly.
"Then what will it take for you to give this drop of blood? Just say it! By the way, I'll give you a Dragon Blood Divine Pill once it's refined. How about that?"
Ling Mo Xie rubbed his hair in frustration and smiled bitterly at Chen Yan. If Chen Yan didn't agree, he really had no other options.
“Dragon Blood Divine Pill? How much use could that possibly have for me? I don't care! Anyway, as long as I sleep and wander around aimlessly, my cultivation will come back on its own.” Chen Yan said dismissively, turning her head to the side.
“This...” Now it was Ling Mo Xie who was at a loss for words. After all, she had a background and was quite willful!
“Well, you must want to recover your strength sooner or later, right? What if you accidentally die before you regain your power...?” Ling Mo Xie said while secretly glancing at Chen Yan's reaction.
“Yeah, Chen Yan, you need to understand that with your current cultivation level, many people could easily kill you. Also, if your old enemies find out about your situation now...” Hong Chi blinked and began to threaten Chen Yan.
“This...” Hearing Hong Chi's words, Chen Yan nodded thoughtfully; there was some truth to what was being said.
“Alright, make a decision quickly! If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you. But then you must give up on the idea of refining the Dragon Blood Divine Pill. All efforts would be in vain! Sigh!”
Ling Mo Xie sighed heavily as he spoke to Chen Yan, but his gaze was filled with hope as he looked at her. He truly intended to follow through on what he said; if Chen Yan really didn’t want to, he would abandon the idea.
Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to push Chen Yan; it was just that there was no way to force her. It was better to phrase things nicely.
“Fine!” Chen Yan didn’t rush to answer; she seemed to be contemplating as she paced back and forth on the floor. After a while, she finally looked up and nodded at Ling Mo Xie, indicating her agreement.
“That’s more like it! Thank you, Hong Chi, prepare the jade vial!” Ling Mo Xie immediately brightened up and said to both Chen Yan and Hong Chi.
“You!” Looking at Ling Mo Xie's cheerful expression, Chen Yan felt somewhat deceived. Was all that previous melancholy just an act? The change in demeanor was too quick for her to process!
However, seeing the jade vial that Hong Chi had already handed over, Chen Yan glanced at Ling Mo Xie, then at Hong Chi, and could only accept it helplessly.
The jade bottle floated steadily in the air under the manipulation of Spiritual Energy. At this moment, Shen Yan also took out one of her claws, closed her eyes, and activated her unique Spiritual Energy. A drop of Blood was forced out from her claw and flew towards the jade bottle.
Watching the Blood enter the jade bottle, Ling Mo Xie’s smile widened, but still greedy, he said to Shen Yan, "Just this drop? Give me a few more drops!"
"This drop is not enough. I should give you another drop after transforming. This drop is concentrated and is equivalent to a whole bucket after transformation!" Shen Yan replied irritably to Ling Mo Xie.
Seeing the pained expression on Shen Yan's face, Ling Mo Xie knew she was telling the truth, so he stopped pressing her and directly grabbed the jade bottle. Through the crystal-clear jade bottle, he could see that vivid drop of Blood floating inside. Holding it in his hand, he could feel the immense power contained within that Blood.
"Alright, alright, I'm going to start Alchemy now. You all get out! No disturbances and no one is allowed to come in!" Ling Mo Xie put away the jade bottle, picked up Shen Yan, and threw her out the door, while Hong Chi was also kicked out.
Then, with a bang, he closed the door. Yawning, he took out all the materials and pulled out the recipe for the Dragon Blood Divine Pill. He then opened the system's Alchemy interface.
After placing the recipe inside, he saw that among countless gray pages of Elixir names, the name Dragon Blood Divine Pill lit up and automatically sorted to the first page. Clicking on the name of Dragon Blood Divine Pill revealed all the materials needed for its refinement.
Ling Mo Xie glanced at the refining time; it actually required three days and three nights. He could only helplessly curl his lips as he placed all the necessary materials one by one.
Three days and three nights—does this mean I have to stay in this boring Alchemy Room for three days and three nights?
Ling Mo Xie felt a bit frantic. For system Alchemy, all he had to do was place all the materials properly and then click the start button; after that, there would be nothing for him to do.
The fact that Alchemy required three days and three nights meant that during this time, he could only stay in the Alchemy Room without anything to do. What kind of boredom is this!
Before long, all the materials needed for refining Dragon Blood Divine Pill were ready. A start button appeared below the illusory alchemical furnace. Without hesitation, Ling Mo Xie pressed it down.
A system prompt sounded in his ear: "Ding! The refining of the Dragon Blood Divine Pill has begun! This Alchemy will take three days and three nights, please be patient."
"Sigh, then I guess I'll just wait patiently!" Ling Mo Xie sighed and muttered to himself as he looked around the luxurious Alchemy Room prepared by Izumo King.
In the room stood a massive, opulent Alchemical Furnace, placed on a wide platform. The platform was not high, only three steps up, and below it was a spacious area. Tall shelves lined three sides of the room, filled with various Spiritual Medicines.
Ling Mo Xie stretched lazily, found a corner, leaned against the wall, and lay down. Three days would be tough; he might as well take a nap!
At that moment, Chen Yan was at the door angrily cursing.
"You see? I told you he has no sense of gratitude at all!"
"Alright, let's not disturb him. Come on! Let's go out and have some fun; I'll treat you to something to eat! Although the capital has become quite desolate due to the war, it has regained some popularity since the last battle in Spirit City," Hong Chi said, completely unconcerned. He had never been interested in Alchemy.
Chen Yan could only nod. "But those things you like aren't tasty at all; they can't compare to my fragrance! Although Please Summon Fragrance is a bit trashy, it's almost gone. I'm running out of supplies and don't know if Ling Mo Xie has any left."
The two walked away, and with Chen Yan's complaints, a system prompt sounded in Ling Mo Xie's ear.
This prompt caught Ling Mo Xie off guard and startled him awake from his half-dreaming state.
