Chapter 533 Fang Xiao
Immersed in the "activity" of awakening the primordial spirit consciousness, Zhong Cai was busy for several days, nourishing all eight "blank" primordial spirits that had been separated from the evil artifact to the appropriate degree and awakening them.
She was very lucky, and it was also because Zhong Cai worked hard enough.
The treatment of these eight primordial spirits was successful without a single failure.
Incidentally, Zhong Cai also sent out eight envoys.
There were only three special golden-armored soldiers at the peak of the Spirit Transformation realm available. The remaining five were either hired by Zhong Cai from the Temple of War God or from other forces stranded here. They were all at the Spirit Transformation realm, and each one only needed to be given enough pills—of course, these rewards were also included in the IOU.
After saving the souls that had been separated from the evil artifact, the next step was to treat the clean souls that had not yet been treated.
Each evil path has its own methods. Although those who directly stripped the evil artifacts had similarities in the rescue process, the actual methods used in practice were quite different.
Even though they are all clean souls now, the methods for clearing their consciousness are different.
Compared to the clues that could be observed on the evil artifacts before, this simple blank space is now much more difficult to solve.
Fortunately, Zhong Cai had prior experience in waking up memories, so she was confident that she could succeed after a few more attempts in the simulation room.
After some time, everything was handled properly.
Next, Zhong Cai needs to heal the primordial spirits that have been partially refined and are still considered refining materials.
Different refining methods and degrees make treatment very troublesome. Almost every primordial spirit is a special case and requires special treatment.
It was thanks to previous experience that Zhong Cai was able to gradually solve the problems by drawing on and integrating various ideas, and then simulating and trying them out...
However, after being rescued this time, Zhong Cai discovered that several of them had been evil people in life.
Zhong Cai: "..."
Fine, consider it a wasted effort on his part to save her.
Regarding this part of the primordial spirits, no matter how many resources are consumed, Zhong Cai has no intention of giving them any path.
If Zhong Cai didn't have a simulation room, he could use these evil spirits for research, but now that he does, he doesn't want to keep them.
After thinking it over, Zhong Cai went out and delivered these evil spirits to Xiao Zinuo.
It wasn't that he didn't want his master to study it, but his master was already at level eight and couldn't use it at all. However, Xiao Zinuo was in charge of the sect's affairs, so if he gave this thing to him, he should be able to find a good place for it.
Consider it his contribution to the sect!
However, Xiao Zinuo actually gave Zhong Cai some resources in exchange...
By this calculation, Zhong Cai's accounts are actually balanced!
Unable to refuse, Zhong Cai went back with a grin.
However, by this point, Zhong Cai had become somewhat numb to his research on awakening the primordial spirit consciousness. Now, he only felt as if something was throbbing in his head, causing a throbbing pain. So, he began to study several more complex poisons.
This was a "difficult case" that a master alchemist had sent over before, but because Zhong Cai's mind was focused on several "blank" primordial spirits at the time, and seeing that the vital signs of the poisoned patients were still stable for the time being, he did not disrupt his train of thought and completed the treatment of the primordial spirits first.
Now that I've stepped away, it's a good time to clear my head.
After all, he only has a few of the most complex cases left.
Save the fragments of the primordial spirit.
Those fragments... were really fragmented.
There are six pieces in total, made by six different people.

Nanke Domain.
Special Golden Armor Soldier—actually, he has his own name—Shan Yu himself doesn't know why he's unwilling, but since he's been summoned as a Dao Soldier, and there's a great chance he'll undergo Nirvana and live for another five thousand years, that's not bad.
Therefore, Shan Yu has always worked diligently for the two city lords. The Ancient City Sect has been developing very well under the leadership of their special golden-armored soldiers, and he is getting closer and closer to Nirvana. Although he is not as good as the other one, he is already satisfied with the good result that a great battle has brought him.
This time, Shan Yu did his job honestly as always, and arrived outside Xiaomeng Palace as quickly as possible.
There were guards outside the palace gates, and they were all terrified when they saw Shan Yu landing on an extremely fierce flying bird.
One of the men leading the group quickly approached and asked, "May I ask what brings you here, senior?"
Shan Yu remained polite, saying calmly, "King Zhongdan has ordered me to come here to inquire whether Xiaomeng Palace has a cultivator named 'Fang Hua'. More than seven hundred years ago, he was separated from the sect for some reason, and at that time he was at the Palace Building stage."
The guards dared not slacken their efforts.
Although he had never heard of anyone named "Fang Hua," he had heard that it was from seven hundred years ago... If such a person really existed, wouldn't he be an elder? He would also increase the strength of their Xiaomeng Palace.
Therefore, the guard immediately said, "This junior will go and inform them right away. Please wait a moment, senior."
Shan Yu nodded: "That's how it should be."
The guards didn't think that Shan Yu's politeness would delay them; they immediately used their fastest speed, employing their movement techniques, and quickly entered the palace!
Before a cup of tea could be brewed, someone hurriedly came out to greet us, looking anxious and quickly glancing around.
Upon seeing Shan Yu, the man hurried over and asked, "May I ask, brother, is Fang Hua the 'Fang' of 'house' and the 'Hua' of 'wood'?"
Shan Yu nodded.
The man was overjoyed and hurriedly invited Shan Yu inside.
Shan Yu came prepared. Knowing there would be a business discussion session later, he quickly racked his brains, thinking about how to conduct the discussion...
·
The one who came out to greet them was Fang Xiao, the Supreme Elder of Xiaomeng Palace.
Judging from the rather unfavorable meaning of his name, one can tell that he probably didn't have much status in Xiaomeng Palace in his early years.
When Shan Yu came over, he actually did some research on this person's information - after all, he was the strongest person in the entire Xiaomeng Palace, already at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage, and should also be looking for an opportunity for Nirvana.
If it were a major power, it wouldn't be too strange for someone over a thousand years old to attempt Nirvana, as they have many channels to obtain resources. But it's different for a level seven power. Many resources require risking one's life, and even then, it's not guaranteed. To have the potential to achieve Nirvana so early is truly remarkable, demonstrating that this person is exceptionally powerful.
There was no secret about Xiaomeng Palace; Shan Yu could easily find out by asking around. Fang Xiao's life was indeed quite legendary.
It is said that he was an orphan who seized the opportunity to enter Xiaomeng Palace, but he was just an ordinary disciple. However, the young palace master took an instant liking to him, and the two became friends. The young palace master even asked his father to take him as a disciple, which allowed him to rise to prominence in one step.
The two were as close as brothers. It seemed that the young palace master had unexpectedly obtained a treasure that could improve his aptitude, which he then gave to Fang Xiao.
Later, Fang Xiao's cultivation speed surpassed that of the young palace master, and the two maintained a good relationship. However, one day the young palace master suddenly disappeared. Fang Xiao searched for him for many years but could not find him. When he returned, it seemed that the old palace master had been murdered. Fang Xiao then transformed into a spirit and slaughtered all the suspects in the entire palace. In the end, he took the position of palace master himself.
At the time, many people suspected that Fang Xiao was a ruthless and cunning man who had harmed both the old and young palace masters.
However, Xiaomeng Palace was developed into a much stronger place under Fang Xiao's leadership, and several more Spirit Transformation cultivators emerged. Later, Fang Xiao focused on cultivation, and it is said that he went into seclusion for a long time in order to break through to Nirvana. He then passed the position of Palace Master to one of the best-performing grandnieces of the old Palace Master.
Later on, even the people of Xiaomeng Palace could no longer see Fang Xiao.
Until now.
·
Although Fang Xiao allowed Shan Yu to enter Xiaomeng Palace with him, he was still very wary.
Because he could tell that Shan Yu's strength was no less than his own, and if the two of them were to fight, it might end in mutual destruction.
However, he absolutely could not miss the news brought by Shan Yu.
Fang Hua.
This is the person he originally thought he could only go further to find after Nirvana...
Someone actually said they brought him news.
Even if it's fake, Fang Xiao still has to investigate.
Fang Xiao's expectation was that, precisely because Shan Yu was so capable, there seemed to be no need for such a person to deceive him.
·
Fang Xiao personally brewed tea for Shan Yu, trying his best to suppress his emotions, and asked, "You came here on the orders of King Zhong Dan... May I ask who this King Zhong Dan is? And how do you know my junior brother's name?"
Dan Yu didn't keep him in suspense and answered directly: "Zhong Danwang is the second-ranked member of the Seventh-Level Sky Ranking and a disciple of the Lingxian Sect. Brother Fang must know that the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall previously achieved a great victory in their attack on the Red Mist Mountain Range. In addition to obtaining many spoils of war, some unexpected events also occurred."
"For example, the primordial spirit that was once refined into an evil artifact."
"Zhong Danwang's alchemy skills are superb. He single-handedly retrieved the primordial soul's memories and stimulated it to regain consciousness."
Seeing Fang Xiao's increasingly excited expression, his eagerness was undisguised.
Shan Yu continued, "The first person Zhong Danwang rescued claimed to be Fang Hua from Xiaomeng Palace."
Fang Xiao's expression turned ecstatic. He almost couldn't help but want to reach out and grab Shan Yu, but he managed to stop himself before he could reach out.
However, before Fang Xiao could say anything, Shan Yu spoke up again.
"Young Master Fang Hua was at the Spirit Transformation Realm in life. It took Zhong Danwang a lot of money to save him."
Dan Yu raised his hand, took out a scroll, and unfurled it directly at Fang Xiao.
In an instant, the scroll suddenly extended, revealing a large amount of writing on it.
Fang Xiao paused for a moment, then looked over.
On the scroll, each line represents a type of consumption: travel expenses, handling fees, and the price of each resource used...
All together, the number is enormous.
This is only the primordial soul. If the physical body is to be reshaped, there is another price to pay. Of course, if Fang Xiao wants to reshape Fang Hua himself and does not need Zhong Cai to provide resources, then he can just give him the more than one million mid-grade Xuan Stones.
Without hesitation, Fang Xiao raised his hand and grasped the scroll.
"One should not trouble two masters with one matter. It is also hard work for King Zhong Dan to carry out the reconstruction."
"I will not shortchange you on any of the expenses that are due."
At this moment, Fang Xiao truly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a joy from the bottom of his heart.
The detailed pricing information undoubtedly proves that... this matter is absolutely true.
Young Master, you're really coming back!
