The Purgatory Undying Body is a low-grade earth rank Body Refining Cultivation Technique formed by the panel's Fusion of all Body Refining Cultivation Techniques. Under the overlapping of multiple Physiques, Xiao Zhuo's Physical Body has been refined to be comparable to a Void Refining Realm Body Cultivator.

After his cultivation Breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm, although the power of his Domain could be reactivated, it was like a heavy burden, difficult to sustain for long.

The Fusion of his three souls caused his soul infant to surge, only a thin sheet of paper away from the fifth-order threshold.

This Soul Fusing was truly a complete metamorphosis.

Just as Xiao Zhuo walked out of his small courtyard, intending to go to the Blood Shadow Tower's outpost to buy information about Qiao Zimo, a tall, thin figure appeared at the courtyard gate.

Xiao Zhuo immediately sensed him.

The next moment, he heard a voice from outside the door: "Zhu Yunfei, Guest Elder of the Zhao family in Blood Abyss Market, is here by Young Master's order to respectfully invite Master Blood for an audience."

"Creak!"

The wooden door creaked open, and Xiao Zhuo's figure, clad in black, stood on the steps, enveloped in a bloody aura.

The gray-clothed middle-aged man hurriedly bowed and presented a gilded invitation, the Zhao family totem embroidered in dark thread on his cuff glinting with a bloody light in the sun: "Master Blood, my Young Master learned of your return to the market and specifically sent me to invite you for an audience. Please forgive any disturbance, Master Blood."

Xiao Zhuo, who had merged with all of Xue Hai's memories, naturally knew about the Zhao family of Blood Abyss Market, as Xue Hai had lived in the market for a year. However, the two had not had much interaction; the only interaction was when the Zhao family had sent people to demand the Pill Formula for the Breakthrough Pill he had developed, which he had refused.

However, after a moment's thought, he could guess that Xue Hai's Clone had successfully passed the Blood Fiend Tower's test and joined the Blood Palace. Perhaps the Zhao family wanted to forge a connection and win him over.

"Please thank Young Master Zhao for his kind intentions, but I still have Sect missions to complete and it is inconvenient for me to go," Xiao Zhuo nodded slightly towards Zhu Yunfei, but pushed the invitation back.

Seeing Xiao Zhuo's intention to refuse, Zhu Yunfei was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Master Blood is not only extraordinary in the Dao of Pills, but his combat strength also far surpasses his peers. My Young Master has long admired you and paid much attention to you. He already knows the purpose of your current trip out of the Palace and specifically asked me to convey a message, hoping Master Blood will not refuse, as my Young Master has already prepared the intelligence you need."

"Oh?" Xiao Zhuo raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his expression.

Of course, he wasn't surprised that the Zhao family could find his information, but rather that the Zhao family had been paying attention to him for so long.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Xiao Zhuo still nodded and said, "Then please lead the way, Your Excellency!"

"Master, please!"

Seeing Xiao Zhuo agree, Zhu Yunfei's smile deepened, and he led the way.

The two walked quickly, and in just a moment, they appeared before the Cloud Sparrow Tower, the largest restaurant in Blood Abyss Market.

Under Zhu Yunfei's guidance, Xiao Zhuo quickly ascended to the fourth floor and met the main person in a private room.

At this moment, incense smoke curled in the room, and Zhao Xiange was brewing tea. The entire room was arranged with an ancient charm.

Zhao Xiange waved his hand, and Zhu Yunfei clasped his fists and retreated.

Xiao Zhuo observed Zhao Xiange, and Zhao Xiange also observed him.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly both smiled. Zhao Xiange said, "I've long heard that Brother Xue's Dao of Pills is extraordinary, but I didn't expect his combat power to be even more remarkable, actually being able to pass the Blood Fiend Tower's test. It truly astonishes me."

Before he finished speaking, he gestured with his left hand, inviting Xiao Zhuo to sit.

Xiao Zhuo was not polite and sat directly opposite him.

As soon as he sat down, a cup of spiritual tea, emitting a faint spiritual mist, was already placed in front of him.

Xiao Zhuo showed a slight smile. He could see that this Young Master Zhao also had some tricks up his sleeve; his Divine Soul was no weaker than Xiao Yan's, who had died by his hand, but his magical power was unstable, clearly boosted by Medicinal Pills.

Picking up the teacup in front of him and taking a light sip, Xiao Zhuo spoke, "May I ask what Young Master Zhao summoned me for? It shouldn't be as simple as just drinking tea, right?"

Zhao Xiange smiled faintly and also took a sip of tea: "Brother Xue is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush either. I invited Brother Xue here this time for Qiao Zimo. I have a cooperation I'd like to discuss with Brother Xue. I wonder if Brother Xue is willing?"

"Young Master Zhao, please explain clearly!"

Xiao Zhuo remained calm, awaiting further explanation.

"Zhao knows that Brother Xue has taken on the mission to kill Qiao Zimo, and I happen to have information about him. If Brother Xue agrees to cooperate, my Zhao family can not only provide Brother Xue with information on his whereabouts, but also send three Spirit Transformation cultivators to assist Brother Xue in hunting down Qiao Zimo. In return, I only need one item from him; all other items and his corpse will belong to Brother Xue. What do you say?"

Zhao Xiange's eyes flickered as he looked at Xiao Zhuo, awaiting his reaction.

Xiao Zhuo pondered for a moment and realized that he had probably chosen a very complicated mission. This Prodigy who betrayed the Desolate God Dao probably harbored no small secrets.

However, for Xiao Zhuo, it didn't matter. Having someone provide information saved him a trip to the Blood Shadow Tower.

As for whether Zhao Xiange had other motives for seeking cooperation, he didn't care either.

It was simply the difference between killing one person and killing several.

Immediately, Xiao Zhuo smiled, drained the spiritual tea in his cup, and tilted the cup to show it was empty.

Zhao Xiange also revealed a satisfied smile.

The two looked at each other, outwardly harmonious, but only they knew what they were thinking deep down.
