Chapter 547: Blood Soul Pill

Yao Xixue's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. She felt she had been extremely sincere, having said everything necessary, and the compensation she offered was substantial. She had even forcibly suppressed her temper, all just to gain his assistance.

But now, Wang Lin repeatedly tried to decline, which made her feel a little impatient.

However, if she didn't have this person's help, she would have to wait until after the Soul Transformation stage to break the Restriction. Although she did not lack the Immortal Jade needed for Soul Transformation, her comprehension of the Heavenly Dao had made no progress. The time required to comprehend the Heavenly Dao could be long or short; no one knew when enlightenment would strike.

Moreover, this matter absolutely could not be known by the indigenous inhabitants of this place, or it would lead to a great catastrophe. After careful consideration, she realized that only Wang Lin was the most suitable candidate! Especially the battle Wang Lin had fought against the Demon General after becoming demonic—seeing Wang Lin's strength firsthand made her even more certain that with his help, they could surely break the remaining Restrictions and Seals.

Yao Xixue glanced at Wang Lin, pondering slightly. With her cunning, reflecting on Wang Lin's previous words, she somewhat understood his intention: the four months were merely a bargaining chip for him to demand greater compensation.

A trace of contempt flashed in her heart, and her tone naturally turned cold. She said, "What else do you want? More Immortal Jade? Magic Treasures? Cultivation Techniques?"

Wang Lin did not mind her tone at all and said calmly, "I, Wang, do not lack Magic Treasures or Cultivation Techniques. It would naturally be best if they were converted into more Immortal Jade."

The contempt in Yao Xixue's heart deepened. She said, "There is plenty of Immortal Jade in my father Blood Ancestor's Immortal Cave. I will give you a Blood Talisman Token; after we leave the Demon Spirit Land, you can go and retrieve it yourself!"

Wang Lin nodded and said, "That works too. However, this matter is unpredictable and dangerous; I still need to consider it."

Yao Xixue's expression immediately turned cold, and she said in an icy voice, "How long do you need to consider!"

"About three months!" Wang Lin said calmly.

"You!!" Yao Xixue was furious. She flung her sleeve, and the Pavilion door immediately opened. With an icy expression, she turned and walked out.

"I won't see you out!" Wang Lin said composedly.

Yao Xixue had one foot outside the Pavilion. She took several deep breaths, gritted her silver teeth, and swiped her right hand across her Storage Pouch. A Wax Pellet immediately appeared in her hand. She turned to look at Wang Lin, a hint of indifference in her eyes, and said, "Take this object. Leave with me in three days. If you still refuse, then forget the whole matter!"

Wang Lin's gaze narrowed as he looked at the Wax Pellet in Yao Xixue's hand. The object looked extremely ordinary, without anything remarkable about it, but as Wang Lin focused, he immediately spotted rows of fine, intricate Runes on the Wax Pellet.

These Runes flickered strangely, matching the frequency of Yao Xixue's breathing and heartbeat exactly!

"What is this object?" Wang Lin asked in a deep voice.

Yao Xixue revealed unconcealed contempt in her eyes and said, "It's no wonder you don't even know what this is, as you just became Tian Yunzi's Disciple. This is a unique item belonging to my father, the Blood Ancestor, named the Blood Soul Pill!"

"The Blood Soul Pill?" Wang Lin heard the name of this Medicinal Pill for the first time, and his expression remained unchanged. He did not know that if other Cultivators on the Tian Yun Star heard the name of this pill, they would certainly go crazy over it.

The value of this Medicinal Pill was incalculable!

"This pill is called Blood Soul. It is not meant to be swallowed, but to leave a brand of your Primordial Spirit and flesh, which then mutually attract each other. It allows you to resurrect once, even if your Primordial Spirit is extinguished! To be precise, it substitutes for death!" Yao Xixue's voice was icy cold.

Wang Lin's expression finally changed. He beckoned with his right hand, and the pill immediately broke free from Yao Xixue's grasp and landed in his palm.

Yao Xixue had long anticipated that the other party would personally inspect it, so she did not stop it, allowing the Medicinal Pill to leave her hand. Watching Wang Lin's moved expression, she sneered inwardly.

Although this pill was also a Blood Soul Pill, it was a Waste Pill!

It was a Blood Soul Pill that her father had refined specifically to prevent others from stealing it. It did contain Blue Blood, but the composition of that blood contained too many Impurities and Toxins. Besides her father and herself, no one else could distinguish the authenticity of the Medicinal Pill.

In this way, they didn't fear anyone trying to steal it!

If one placed hope on a Waste Pill, then their life would essentially be half lost already!

Holding the Wax Pellet, Wang Lin immediately noticed that the frequency of the Runes on the Wax Pellet suddenly changed, matching his own heart rate.

Clearly, whoever held the object would naturally possess a different frequency.

Holding this object, Wang Lin suddenly felt a sense of Bloodline integration, as if the object was naturally a part of his body. This feeling was extremely intense.

Wang Lin took a deep breath, looked up at Yao Xixue, and said in a deep voice, "Give me the Immortal Jade!"

Yao Xixue didn't say a word. She took a Storage Pouch from her bosom, tossed it forward, and said, "This is enough Immortal Jade for you to Cultivate up to the Nascent Soul Transformation Late Stage. As for the rest, I will give it to you when you return! In three days, at the third quarter hour when the Purple Demon rises, come find me at Drum Mountain!"

Wang Lin was silent. After a moment, he slowly said, "Alright!"

Yao Xixue smiled brightly and turned to leave. She wasn't afraid that Wang Lin would go back on his word after taking the items. She didn't care about the Immortal Jade, and as for the Medicinal Pill, she cared even less.

Wang Lin's gaze remained on Yao Xixue until her figure disappeared far away. Only then did he retract his gaze, a look of contemplation in his eyes.

"This woman is quite unrestrained, actually unafraid that I might renege on the deal… But an unrestrained person must have a reason rooted in Karma. I fear this woman doesn't even value Immortal Jade. To offer such a quantity of Immortal Jade right away shows that her father, the Blood Ancestor, possesses a great deal of it."

"It's just that this Blood Soul Pill is somewhat strange. If the pill truly has the effects she described, the quantity would certainly not be large. It should be an extremely precious item, perhaps comparable to a genuine Immortal Art!"

"To offer one pill just to get my help… If I were her, even if I gave it, I would definitely tamper with it."

A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Lin's mouth, and he murmured, "Yao Xixue, if you hadn't been so unrestrained, I, Wang, would have only been suspicious at most. But now, I can be certain: this Blood Soul Pill has a problem!"

His eyes flashed. He swiped his left hand across his Storage Pouch, and an ordinary Soul Banner immediately appeared in his hand. With a shake, Wang Lin shouted, "Cao Yidou!"

A surge of black mist immediately poured out from within the Soul Banner. It spread out, churning and rolling, and transformed into a person!

This person was Cao Yidou, the guide Wang Lin had sought out for himself on the Vermilion Bird Star!

As soon as Cao Yidou appeared, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully, "Greetings, Master!"

Wang Lin didn't waste words with him and said directly, "Do you know the Blood Ancestor?"

Upon hearing the words Blood Ancestor, Cao Yidou's expression immediately changed. It took him a long time to recover, and he quickly said, "I know him! The Blood Ancestor's prestige is known to every Cultivator on the Tian Yun Star! Legend says he challenged Tian Yunzi seven times in his life. Although he failed every time, his cultivation grew higher and higher. There are even rumors that he is the third person on the Tian Yun Star, after Tian Yunzi and Ling Tianhou. Although this is just a rumor, it shows how high this person's cultivation is!"

Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have you heard of the Blood Soul Pill?"

"The Blood Soul Pill!!!" Cao Yidou immediately became agitated. This was the first time Wang Lin had seen such excitement from him; even when Wang Lin promised him a Nascent Soul Transformation Physical Body years ago, he hadn't been this agitated.

"Master, the Blood Soul Pill is a Major Treasure ranked among the top three on the Tian Yun Star! This pill has the power to seize the fortune of heaven and earth and change fate against the Heavenly Dao, allowing a Cultivator to resurrect from death. This object is unique to the Blood Ancestor; no one knows how he obtained it!" Cao Yidou was quite excited, and his speech sped up considerably.

Wang Lin opened his right palm, revealing a Wax Pellet nestled within, its Runes flickering eerily.

"Do you recognize this object?"

Cao Yidou was stunned. He carefully examined the Wax Pellet for a few moments, then his expression suddenly changed drastically. He murmured to himself, "It is entirely encased in White Lizard Beast Wax, inscribed with three thousand six hundred and fourteen Runes, flickering according to the heart pulse frequency of the person touching it, and giving a sense of spiritual connection and flesh when held… Master, am I correct?"

Wang Lin's expression was calm, and he nodded!

Cao Yidou suppressed his inner excitement and immediately said, "Master, please drip Fresh Blood onto it!"

Wang Lin hesitated for a moment. He bit his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of Fresh Blood, and let it fall onto the Wax Pellet. The instant the Fresh Blood landed, a Blue Light immediately emerged from within the Wax Pellet. After three breaths, the Blue Light vanished.

"Runes flash beneath the White Lizard Wax, and a blue trace appears when blood drops on it! That's right, this is the Blood Soul Pill!" Cao Yidou stared intently at the Wax Pellet, his eyes revealing intense greed.

Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. He glanced at the Wax Pellet and slowly said, "Cao Yidou, given your cultivation, was your status high when you were in a Sect on the Tian Yun Star?"

Cao Yidou seemed not to have heard Wang Lin's words. Everything in his eyes was the Blood Soul Pill. This Medicinal Pill was extremely important to him; he vaguely recalled a rumor that if a Soul Body consumed a Blood Soul Pill, it could even condense a new body!

Seeing the man's state, Wang Lin frowned and let out a cold snort. The sound entered Cao Yidou's Soul Body, instantly shocking him as if cold water had been poured over his head, and he immediately sobered up.

Hearing Wang Lin's question, he was startled. He shook his head self-deprecatingly and said, "My status wasn't high. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been arranged by the Corpse Yin Sect to go to the Vermilion Bird Star for Possession."

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he continued, "Since your status wasn't high, why are you so knowledgeable about the Blood Soul Pill, even having a complete grasp of the method to distinguish its authenticity?"

Cao Yidou was startled again, then gave a wry smile. "Master, almost no one on the entire Tian Yun Star is unaware of the method to identify the Blood Soul Pill. This method isn't some secret…"

Wang Lin nodded. With a wave of the Soul Banner, he recalled Cao Yidou. He looked at the Blood Soul Pill in his hand, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

"Since this object is extremely precious, why would the method of identification be widely circulated, and appear to be entirely accurate? This matter is likely the result of a scheme by someone with ulterior motives!"

"Blood Ancestor, as expected of an Old Monster who has Cultivated for many years. With one simple move, he resolved the crisis of possessing a Major Treasure. If I were him, I would do the same!" Wang Lin squeezed the Wax Pellet in his hand, his eyes clear.

One hour, and only one vote added… So miserable.
