"Then did you hear senior Lan say where he got this Soul Condensing Pill, or who refined it?"
Li Mo asked Lan Xin, still unwilling to give up.
Let alone in this world, this Essence Gathering Pill was an extremely rare pill even in the Xuan Ancient Continent!
"Uh … I didn't ask. You know grandpa's temper.
Is there something wrong with this pill? "
"N-no, there's nothing wrong with it, just that its effect is too shocking.
That's why I want to know where it came from and see if I can get more!
Since you don't know, I will ask senior Lan when I get the chance. Rest well! "
Li Mo left Lan Xin's room with Zi Lingwei in tow.
"Li Mo, are you really going to ask senior Lan?
If this pill is as important as you think, can senior Lan tell you? "
"He should be able to!
You still don't know, but senior Lan is now our guild's vice-leader.
Moreover, he can take out a pill to heal you when you're injured.
I believe he will tell me! "
"Really?
You're saying senior Lan is our guild's vice-leader?
Heavens!
Doesn't that make our guild even stronger?
I heard from Lan Xin that senior Lan is a 70th level warlock!
He's four levels higher than the leader! "
This was Li Mo's first time hearing of Lan Jingyuan's power.
"70th level!
This is the highest level I've ever seen.
And here I thought he was on par with the leader!
There was a total of four levels between them, and there was even a skill difference between them.
In a real battle, a single skill could decide the outcome! "
"Hey!
Little Mo, what are you and Zi Lingwei whispering about? "
"Senior Lan, I was just about to ask you something!
Weren't you drinking with the leader? "
Seeing Lan Jingyuan's radiant face, Li Mo knew it was time to ask about the Soul Condensing Pill.
"Hey!
That old geezer Han Tianyu might not be strong, but his alcohol tolerance is amazing.
His alcohol tolerance is amazing. I'm no match for him.
If you have something to say, come back to my room. "
As he spoke, he staggered back to his room.
Li Mo signaled Zi Ling with his eyes, telling her to go back.
Then, he followed Lan Jingyuan into his room.
"Haha … Let me guess why you're looking for me, brat!
Do you want to know where I obtained the Soul Gathering Pill? "
Lan Jingyuan lounged on a chair in the room, smiling at Li Mo.
"Eh …"
Li Mo almost fell to the ground.
"Senior Lan, you … you're too godly!
How did you know what I was thinking? "
"Humph!
If I don't even know what you're thinking, then wouldn't I have lived for so many years in vain? "
"Hehe … Senior Lan is indeed wise. Senior Lan, you know my background.
Back in the Mysterious Continent, I have seen many elixirs. Those that have the same effects as the Soul Gathering Pill are all supreme grade elixirs.
That's why I'm really very curious. Where did Senior Lan buy these Soul Gathering Pills? "
"Buy?
Ha-ha … this Soul Gathering Pill isn't something money can buy!
I obtained them by chance when I was out adventuring. In the current Tianfeng Empire, it would be hard to find a second person with them! "
Li Mo was shocked.
"N-no way!
These pills are precious, but they're still made by humans. "
"Ha-ha … you don't know.
Back in the days, our Tianfeng Empire was vast and rich in resources. High demon beasts and rare herbs could be seen everywhere.
There were countless martial artists above the 90th level. That was when our empire was at its strongest.
Not to mention this Essence Gathering Pill, even pills that are more precious than it can be bought from some high-grade alchemists. "
"Then why has it become like this now?"
"Sigh!
Isn't it because of humans' greed?
Due to excessive hunting and plundering, some natural treasures have completely disappeared from the land of our Tianfeng Empire.
And if I want to raise my level, I can only go to Misty Woods and Plains of Death to train.
Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. Without those rare herbs, alchemists naturally left.
This is why precious pills are so rare in our Tianfeng Empire. "
"Oh!
So that's how it is! "
Hearing Lan Jingyuan's explanation, Li Mo spoke with a hint of disappointment.
He asked Lan Jingyuan about this mostly because he wanted to resurrect Liu Yan and Ao Ying.
In order to restore their remnant souls and reform their bodies, they would need heavenly treasures. Now that they heard such news from Lan Jingyuan's mouth, it was inevitable that their emotions would fall to the bottom!
"Eh?
Did something happen to you, kid? "
Lan Jingyuan asked in confusion at Li Mo's appearance.
"Senior Lan, it's like this.
When junior was in the Ancient Continent … "
Li Mo didn't want to tell Lan Jingyuan about Liu Yan and Ao Ying so soon, but he had no other choice.
In this Tianfeng Empire that lacked heavenly treasures, even if he had the power to resurrect them, it would be useless.
He could only pin his hopes on Lan Jingyuan, hoping he knew another way!
"What?
Remnant soul recovery!
Solidify! "
Li Mo spent two hours telling Lan Jingyuan about Liu Yan and Ao Ying. Lan Jingyuan stood up in shock and started pacing back and forth in the room.
"Senior Lan, Liu Yan is my wife and Ao Ying has been with me for many years, companions through thick and thin.
The meaning of my life is to save them one day. I ask senior Lan to show me the way! "
Seeing Lan Jingyuan's solemn face, Li Mo's tone was almost pleading.
"Child!
To tell you the truth, it's not that I haven't heard of people coming back from the dead, but it's not something I can do with my current strength.
Moreover, I need a lot of precious heavenly treasures. Resurrecting your wife and friends is like looking for a needle in a haystack, unless … "
Lan Jingyuan paused and looked thoughtfully out the window.
"Senior!
Senior!
Unless what?
Tell me. As long as I can do it, I will pay any price! "
Li Mo saw a glimmer of hope in the depths of despair and wouldn't let it go.
He rushed behind Lan Jingyuan, anxiously awaiting his answer.
"Sigh!
Child, there is a place in this world called Xumi Illusion. It is located in the northernmost part of this world.
I heard from a senior who went there that there are many precious heavenly treasures there, as well as many high level demon beasts guarding it.
But without the power of 80 levels, going there will only be death!
If you want to save your wife and friends, the only thing you can do is cultivate.
I will help you find a way to resurrect them! "
Thump!
Hearing this, Li Mo knelt on the ground in excitement.
"Many thanks, senior. Please accept this junior's bow!"
