86: Awakening Pill

Inside the Forbidden Ground Immortal Cave, which perpetually lay shrouded in blood-red clouds at the Blood Fiend Sect's Main Headquarters, the atmosphere was so oppressive it was nearly solidified.

Blood Spirit True Monarch took two deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the towering rage and killing intent that threatened to incinerate the heavens, pushing them back into his heart.

He had to remain calm.

He knew Blood Soul's capabilities better than anyone.

As a Nascent Soul True Lord who underwent Rebirth through Possession, although his cultivation had dropped, the strength of his Divine Soul and the secrecy of his methods were far beyond what an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator could match! He could even weakly utilize a trace of the power of Law, something ordinary Golden Core Cultivators couldn't even touch!

Inside this Tidal Palace Relic Site, where Nascent Soul experts would not emerge, it was fundamentally difficult for anyone in the Golden Core Realm to truly eliminate him!

Even if he encountered a super Genius seen only once in ten thousand years, given Blood Soul Old Ancestor's nature of valuing life like gold, he could absolutely abandon the Physical Body he had painstakingly acquired through Possession and flee using his Nascent Soul form to escape!

But now... his Soul Tablet was shattered.

This could only mean one thing.

That was, he didn't even have the chance for his Nascent Soul to flee!

"Could it be..." A dangerous glint flashed in Blood Spirit True Monarch's murky old eyes, "Did the Three Seas City Lord, that old bastard 'True Lord Sanhai,' personally make a move?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt this possibility was true!

Only True Lord Sanhai, who was also at the Nascent Soul Peak and possessed unfathomable strength, had the ability to so cleanly and completely eliminate Blood Soul Old Ancestor!

"Heh heh... Heh heh heh heh..."

"So even True Lord Sanhai personally got involved and entered the fray?"

"Good, very good!"

He laughed sinisterly, his voice filled with endless coldness and malice.

He slowly rose, stood with his hands behind his back, and gazed toward Three Seas City. After a long time, he let out a deep sigh.

He already had a decision in his heart.

—It seems that if he wanted revenge, he could only cooperate with "that person"... Meanwhile, on the other side, inside the Feiyan Pavilion in Three Seas City.

Mysterious Ink and Ye Feiyan were naturally oblivious to the shocking bad news that had occurred at the Blood Fiend Sect, tens of thousands of miles away.

Since returning fully loaded from the Tidal Palace that day, Ye Feiyan had once again entered the deepest level of closed-door cultivation, never stepping half a pace out of the secret chamber.

Mysterious Ink, on the other hand, once again took up his job as the "Mysterious Serpent Shopkeeper."

Every day, aside from lazily lying behind the counter, basking in the sun, and taking naps, he traded Medicinal Pills with Cultivators who came from all directions, drawn by the reputation.

His life was simple yet quiet.

On this day, another transaction worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones was completed.

Just as Mysterious Ink was preparing to enter "AFK" mode again, a somewhat unexpected person suddenly walked into the shop.

It was a young man wearing a moon-white robe, with a handsome face, an elegant and gentle demeanor, and a kind smile that felt like a spring breeze always on his face.

Mysterious Ink recognized him instantly.

He had met this person once before on the plaza, right before the Tidal Palace Inheritance Hall opened.

It was none other than the Chief Disciple under the Three Seas City Lord, "True Lord Sanhai"—Jia Wenmo! A genuine Golden Core Realm Peak Cultivator!

"Heh heh..."

Jia Wenmo walked into the shop, his gaze first sweeping over the dazzling array of Medicinal Pills, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashing in his eyes.

Finally, he fixed his kind gaze upon the seemingly unremarkable black great Dragon behind the counter.

"Presumably, this must be Fellow Daoist Mysterious Ink, the Feiyan Pavilion Lord's controlled beast?" He smiled and cupped his hands.

Although Mysterious Ink was filled with doubt, wondering what scheme this guy was plotting.

However, one does not strike a smiling person.

Mysterious Ink gently nodded his massive Dragon head, and his magnetic voice slowly sounded.

"That is me. May I ask, Fellow Daoist Jia, what brings you to my Feiyan Pavilion?"

Jia Wenmo did not answer directly. Instead, he looked around and asked curiously, "May I ask if the Feiyan Pavilion Lord is present?"

"My master is in closed-door cultivation," Mysterious Ink replied frankly.

"I see."

Jia Wenmo nodded in realization, and then explained the purpose of his visit.

"To be honest with Fellow Daoist Mysterious Ink, I came here because I heard that the Feiyan Pavilion Lord's Alchemy skills are extraordinary and saintly. Therefore, I wish to request the Pavilion Lord's help in refining an ancient Medicinal Pill that has long been lost."

"After the matter is complete, I, Jia, will certainly offer a generous reward!"

"The name of the Medicinal Pill." Mysterious Ink was succinct.

Jia Wenmo did not mince words and immediately said, "Spirit Awakening Pill."

"I, Jia, have already prepared all the Materials for this pill. If the Feiyan Pavilion Lord knows how to refine it and is willing to help, please inform her that she can come directly to the City Lord's Mansion to find me after she leaves closed-door cultivation."

After Mysterious Ink nodded, indicating he would pass on the message, Jia Wenmo cupped his hands again, turned, and drifted away.

However, the moment he left,

Lin Yao's boisterous figure immediately rushed into the shop.

"Fellow Daoist Mysterious Ink! Was that Jia Wenmo from the City Lord's Mansion just now? What did he come here for?"

Mysterious Ink didn't hide anything and immediately told him everything about the guy's purpose for visiting Feiyan Pavilion.

After listening,

Lin Yao's face, which had been full of gossip, instantly became serious.

He lowered his voice and warned with extreme seriousness, "Fellow Daoist Mysterious Ink, you must remind Junior Sister to be extremely careful of this person!"

"This Jia Wenmo is definitely not as kind as he appears on the surface! His profound scheming and ruthless methods are already well-known throughout Three Seas City!"

"I heard that a hundred years ago, the contemporary Prodigy of the Hundred Poisons Sect offended this person at a banquet because he relied on his status. Not long after, that Prodigy mysteriously died a tragic death inside his own Immortal Cave without a sound!"

"Although there was no evidence, everyone speculated that Jia Wenmo must have been the one operating in the shadows!

However, since True Lord Sanhai backed him, the Hundred Poisons Sect could only swallow their bitterness and endure it!"

After hearing this,

Mysterious Ink simply glanced indifferently at his Dragon claw, which had already reached the Early Fourth Tier Stage and was filled with explosive power, and chuckled slightly as he agreed.

—Schemes and plots?

—In the face of absolute strength, even the best schemes and plots are nothing more than worthless dogs and chickens... Ten days later.

Accompanied by a Golden Core aura that was several times more solid and terrifying than ten days prior, soaring into the sky, Ye Feiyan finally left closed-door cultivation again.

At this moment, her cultivation was only one step away from the Golden Core Peak Realm!

Mysterious Ink immediately conveyed the news of Jia Wenmo's visit to her.

However, upon hearing that the other party wished to refine the "Spirit Awakening Pill,"

Ye Feiyan's beautiful, joyful face suddenly froze!

Her brows furrowed tightly in response.
