"..."

For some reason, Yinla actually felt that she was about to pull out something incredible... It was probably just her imagination, after all, it was just Vera the cricket.

As Yinla was thinking this, Vera took out a blood-red, seven-colored crystal the size of a fingernail and showed it to Yinla... It sounds contradictory, but it's not actually conflicting.

The crystal, entirely blood red, shimmered with countless colors of light under the refraction of light, even overshadowing the red color itself. And this thing... its characteristics were far too distinct.

The Philosopher's Stone?

Yinla couldn't help but say.

"Yes, that's right... Look."

Vera nodded, and as she spoke, she smiled, holding the small stone in her right hand and placing her left hand on Illa's table. Without chanting, new buds sprouted on the wooden table.

"This is a miracle of Taiyi, capable of reviving the dead, reuniting relatives and friends, building magnificent castles, or creating a country with favorable weather and abundant harvests... Don't worry, the souls I collected from the battlefield are a bit dangerous."

Vera's words reassured Yinla, since she really hadn't gone to kill everyone in the town to make the Philosopher's Stone. She lazily stuffed the stone into Yinla's arms and said, "Wear it or eat it, it's up to you... At least you can be resurrected once."

"..."

"..."

"For me?"

Yinla said with a puzzled look, looking at the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, which symbolized the pinnacle of alchemy, and at Vera, who was already lying comfortably on his bed... Logically speaking, shouldn't Vera be the one most afraid of death, which is why she devoted all her efforts to refining the Philosopher's Stone?

Why did you just give it to me like this?

"Hmm~ You're very touched, aren't you? If you are, you can sleep with me~"

Vera spoke casually with her eyes closed... Then, when she felt Yinla actually sitting on the bed, she nervously closed her eyes even tighter, but did not immediately jump up and say anything.

If it were the old her, she might have said something like, "Oh! I was just kidding!" But now... she doesn't want to say it.

"..."

"..."

After waiting for a while, Vera didn't see Yinla do anything, or rather, as usual, she didn't get to endure Yinla's mischievous tapping on her head. So Vera curiously opened her eyes and asked, "Yin..."

Then, something was immediately stuffed into Vera's mouth.

"Mmm! Mmm!"

!

"

Then came the water being forced down my throat, and the slapping as it slid down my stomach without warning...

"..."

“I don’t need this, but thank you anyway… Vera.”

Seeing Yinla saying this, Vera touched her stomach, confirming that Yinla had indeed forced her to eat the precious Philosopher's Stone. She opened her mouth... but then she understood something, smiled, and then stuck her butt out and lay down on Yinla's bed.

"Suit yourself... I'm exhausted. I'll borrow your bed for a nap. Make yourself at home."
