Chapter 528 The Sect's Instructions
Pei Xiaoling's statement that he "hoped" Jiang Chongguang and Wu Shaogan would go to provide support meant that the mission could be refused, but it was not recommended to refuse.
Jiang Chongguang readily agreed.
Wu Shaogan's eyes flickered slightly, and he agreed.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Cai's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Ah, Old Wu is going to provide support... He'll definitely stay here to treat people, so I'm afraid he won't be able to go with Old Wu this time.
Old Wu! I will definitely miss you!
A smile appeared in Wu Shaogan's eyes.
I will miss A-Cai too.
If they had just arrived on the top continent and had just been separated, they would probably be very reluctant to split up.
But things are different now.
They have been together for many years, and the psychological trauma from back then has healed.
Although they were both instinctively reluctant to separate when they first heard the instructions, after thinking it over, they realized that they would be very busy with their support and research, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
However, they will definitely resolve the problem as quickly as possible...
·
Sure enough, the next thing they talked about was the tasks of the alchemists.
Zhong Cai's personal tasks include rescuing fragments of Yuan Soul and dealing with complex detoxification—as long as other alchemists can't handle it.
Now, he has added several new tasks.
For example, saving some souls that have been corrupted by evil forces.
While sorting through the spoils, the logistics personnel found some evil objects, such as the Myriad Soul Banner, that had been refined into primordial souls among the evil cultivators' mustard seed tools; some clean primordial souls that had not yet been processed—this need not be mentioned further, as they only need to awaken their consciousness to confirm whether they need to rebuild their physical bodies, or to see if any of their relatives or friends have come to claim them; and some primordial souls that had been partially refined and were still considered materials for refining.
However, this task is really too difficult.
·
As is well known, when a cultivator reaches the Fusion Realm, their primordial soul will merge with their accompanying treasure.
The Myriad Soul Banner has no grade distinction, and the primordial souls refined into it are naturally far more than those below the Fusion Realm.
Therefore, heretical methods have many secret techniques that can extract the primordial spirit.
However, such methods often cause great harm to cultivators. Cultivators who still have their primordial spirit can reshape their physical body, but once their primordial spirit is extracted by evil methods using secret techniques, they will never have that chance again.
During the process of extracting the primordial spirit, they would generally suffer so much pain that they would lose consciousness and become puppets of the Myriad Soul Banner.
Furthermore, the primordial spirit that was refined into it will live and die together with the Myriad Souls Banner.
Even when the primordial spirit itself is extracted from the accompanying treasure, it will have already lost a lot of its soul body, leaving only the part needed by the Myriad Soul Banner.
Want to be rescued?
At least until now, no one has done it.
It should be noted that if the banner of the Myriad Souls Banner is even slightly damaged, a large number of the primordial souls inside will dissipate, and the lower the cultivation level in life, the easier it is for them to dissipate.
Moreover, because the spiritual realms within the banners are different, even if one tries to peel it off from the complete banner surface, a slight misuse of power will cause the spiritual spirit within to dissipate.
Even if all the souls are successfully rescued from the banner, replenishing their consciousness and reawakening them will present new challenges.
Currently, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner happens to be the most valuable loot.
If we can really find a way to rescue and properly treat all the Yuan Souls, at least they will have somewhere to go... After all, the Yuan Souls that have been refined into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner have a really miserable life.
·
There are other evil objects similar to the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, many of which also present various problems when extracting primordial souls, making them extremely difficult to resolve.
However, there are some evil entities whose primordial spirits and evil artifacts are not so closely connected, and their chances of being saved are much greater than those of the Myriad Soul Banner.
And then there are those unfinished Yuan Souls. Not to mention that each of them was obtained through different evil methods, they must be quite diverse. Whether they can be saved and how to save them all require research after facing the "real thing".
·
After hearing Pei Xiaoling's explanation, Zhong Cai herself was quite interested.
Clearly, there's a lot to deal with.
This task seems a bit demanding, but for alchemists like them, the only worry is not having enough research subjects. In order to improve their alchemy skills, any alchemist with a bit of ambition is willing to take on more cases.
As expected, Sang Yunchu and the other two Pill Emperors also agreed.
Zhong Cai naturally agreed, and even secretly smiled at his master when he had a chance.
Sang Yunchu responded with a gentle and loving smile.
·
Pei Xiaoling continued, "This Venerable Feng and Venerable Li have an only son who has been harmed by evil forces and needs treatment. Naturally, A-Zhan will be the primary caregiver, but the other lineage leaders and Cai'er can also observe him carefully and perhaps gain some insight."
The three Pill Emperors, including Sang Yunchu, understood.
Sect Leader Ji should have already seen the patient's condition; it must be extremely complicated, and even Sect Leader Ji hasn't been able to come up with a solution quickly.
If that's the case, it means this patient is a special case, and it would be good to find a few more promising candidates to take a look.
Zhong Cai understood as well, but in his opinion, his alchemy skills were only at the seventh level... so he guessed that the methods used on the patient might be of a very high level, but the patient's own realm should not be too high, otherwise even if he went there, he would not understand it and there would be nothing for him to do.
He recalled that when he interrogated Ancestor Wutian, he mentioned Feng Venerable's beloved son, Feng Chen. At that time, he had discussed the matter of Feng Chen's other half of his bloodline with his old man, and even thought of some very melodramatic plots.
The case is now solved; Feng Chen's other father is none other than Venerable Li.
At that moment, several alchemists had different thoughts, but they all quickly agreed.
Pei Xiaoling pondered for a moment: "You should diligently improve your alchemy skills; perhaps in the future..."
Zhong Cai and the others agreed again.
·
The meaning of "maybe again in the future" is actually because of Lai Siu Tin.
Li Zhaotian's visit this time was not simply to ask for help; he also had other motives.
When he interrogated Wutian, he heard that his beloved disciple Li Hui had been taken away by one of the illegitimate sons of the Ancestor of the Sun to be used as a puppet. Many years have passed, and he doesn't know if Li Hui still retains any sense of reason, or even if the puppet based on Li Hui still exists.
But what if?
If, after breaking through the Sun-Covering Alliance, we can find even the slightest remnant of Li Hui, we might have a chance to revive him.
If that day ever comes, the person Li Zhaotian will want to ask for help from will still be Ji Zhan.
If Ji Zhan were to treat Li Hui at that time, Li Hui's condition would certainly be very complicated. It would be a good opportunity for Zhong Cai and the others to take a look and study it.
Therefore, Li Zhaotian had asked Ji Zhan and the others to leave him time to deal with this matter—even if Li Hui couldn't be found in the end, Li Zhaotian would compensate Ji Zhan for the time he had spent there.
·
Zhong Cai and several other alchemists had also vaguely guessed something.
After all, with such a big guy like Li Zhaotian standing here, and Pei Xiaoling bringing it up at this moment, they could all at least give a few points.
·
Having given all the instructions, Ji Zhan and Pei Xiaoling didn't let them stay there for long.
Moreover, Jiang Chongguang and Wu Shaogan, master and apprentice who were going out to work, also had to muster their troops and head with everyone to the location of the Sun-Covering Alliance.
During this time, Zhong Cai tried her best not to cling to Wu Shaogan and prepared various supplies for him, as if Wu Shaogan would definitely not have enough to eat or wear after he arrived.
Wu Shaogan let Zhong Cai replenish his fluids, his eyes always filled with a gentle smile.
Of course, although these two are the closest, there are many other teams that are just as inseparable – after all, almost all of those who went out to help this time are disciples of the Spirit Immortal Sect and the War God Hall, and many of them have almost been separated by life and death on the battlefield several times, so they naturally care about each other more and more now.
After everyone was ready, Jiang Chongguang, along with a level nine warship, Wu Shaogan, and a large number of soldiers, followed behind Li Zhaotian and headed towards the Yanri Alliance.
Zhong Cai, left behind in a sorry state, stood at the bow of the boat and watched them go.
Only after Wu Shaogan's figure had completely disappeared did Zhong Cai slowly turn around and walk into the cabin.
Ah, Old Wu has only been gone for less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, and he's already starting to miss him...
·
In the days that followed, Zhong Cai officially began to get busy.
Many strange things, perhaps containing some kind of consciousness, that seemed suitable for Zhong Cai's level of strength, were sent to his place.
Zhong Cai himself did not directly study the Yuan Soul fragment, or delve into anything that seemed abnormal, and for the time being, Ji Zhan did not come to see his patients.
He was very self-aware, starting with things that seemed simple and gradually becoming more complex.
Zhong Cai's alchemy skills were truly remarkable. He could easily find solutions to problems that were difficult for others but commonplace for him, after only a little research.
So before long, several primordial spirits that were not so closely connected to the evil artifact were carefully separated from it by Zhong Cai and are now placed in a soul-soothing container to allow them to rest for a while.
These primordial spirits may have been tormented by the evil artifacts for too long, and each of them has almost lost its consciousness. Even if they still have some, their consciousness is very chaotic. How to bring them back is another problem that requires careful research.
Zhong Caiye still studied it very carefully.
After he had observed the object clearly, he returned to the ancient city, opened the simulation room, prepared the experimental materials for replication, and began to verify his ideas.
Zhong Cai was already very bold, and since the simulations had little impact on reality, he became even more unrestrained when he used them.
It is precisely because even top geniuses work so hard that his experiments are progressing very quickly.
All the alchemists actually received questions from their respective levels, and among them, Zhong Cai was the fastest at solving problems.
·
On the other end, Wu Shaogan touched a shield-like object in his hand.
This is the treasure that Zhong Cai specially searched out, with a defensive capability reaching level nine—Zhong Cai had even wanted Wu Shaogan to take the ancient city away!
However, Wu Shaogan rejected him.
