The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 918 - 503: True Friendship
"It seems like I also have someone like General Frozen to help me out." Yan Xiaobao joked, and Gao Yan smiled.
"Alright, thank you for the information." Yan Xiaobao changed the subject before leaving and nodded to Gao Yan. As he walked back to his home inn, it felt like a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders. A smile appeared on his lips, and a soft whistle could be heard.
At home, everyone could feel the huge transformation of the mansion master. He smiled as he welcomed everyone; he was willing to help anyone who had questions and wasn't in a hurry because he spent some time trying to teach Lao some planting techniques. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Seeing the sudden change in Yan Xiaobao's mood, everyone who understood Sha Yun knew something good had happened. However, no one wanted to ask; instead, they all waited for Yan Xiaobao to say something himself, but he did not.
Two days passed, and Yan Xiaobao was in a great mood. He spent the entire time cultivating and concocting pills. Many of the pills he made were crafted from formulas he had used for a long time and his own created formulas.
The pills he was making were equivalent to those made by Zhong Xi in the Alchemist competition. They allowed a cultivator to skip a level, but Yan Xiaobao's real goal was not to create pills of such equivalence; his goal was to make Silver Moon Pills using herbal medicine from this world. Unfortunately, it seemed much harder than he initially assumed.
Finally, after waiting day in and day out for the guest's gathering, they finally reached the front door of Yan Xiaobao's mansion. In this group, Zhong Hui and Sha Yun led ten lifeless experts together.
The guards outside the mansion shivered as these lifeless experts passed them, feeling a cold chill penetrate their bodies. They couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Nevertheless, they knew this group of experts were important guests for Yan Xiaobao, and since they were being treated perfectly by the current employer, they would do their utmost to complete their tasks as guards.
"Zhong Hui, Yun." Yan Xiaobao called as he descended the stairs, looking at the group that had just entered the mansion. Zhong Xi was not a member of the group, but the ten lifeless experts stood behind the two.
Hearing their names being called, Sha Yun and Zhong Hui smiled. Zhong Hui looked at Yan Xiaobao, clearly eager to see the changes he had undergone since their last encounter in Shenyun.
Time had passed, and by now, Yan Xiaobao was no longer a teenager but a young man with considerable strength behind him.
"Let's chat in the library." Yan Xiaobao said with a smile, and a sense of relief appeared on Zhong Hui's face.
The three of them moved together to a small library where no one could hear what was being said. Yan Xiaobao personally inscribed inscriptions and runes in the room. These were runes and inscriptions he had discovered in the Cosmic Box. Yan Xiaobao ensured that no one could eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
"So why resort to such extremes as kidnapping Yun?" Yan Xiaobao asked as he sat down, looking at the drinks and food brought over earlier.
Looking at Yan Xiaobao, Zhong Hui realized that the young man had guessed his true intentions, and with an apologetic smile, he shrugged.
"I apologize, but I needed at least one of your friends to listen to me. Our current relationship is a bit tense, but I'm really not a bad person." He sighed.
"Alright, no beating around the bush. I'm here because I need your help to obtain the formation of life. My cultivation alone is not enough to become a god. Looking at me, you see a young man. However, my true form is entirely different; to be honest, I am an Ice Snake from the southern seas. Ice Snakes are Divine Beasts, much like the four Divine Beasts and their descendants. Unfortunately, no Ice Snake has ever managed to become stronger than a holy rank beast, as if we cannot become gods."
"I waited year after year, searching for a way to become a god. At first, I found nothing about this issue, but after going through scroll after scroll and book after book, I realized the existence of the formation of life left by the four Divine Beasts." "What is the formation of life?" Yan Xiaobao asked curiously; his interest was piqued when he heard General Frozen say that this item could help him reach the God Level, something perceived as impossible for his entire race.
Looking at Yan Xiaobao, a smile appeared on Zhong Hui's lips as he guessed he had caught the young man's interest.
"The formation of life is an ancient array of power. It was created by the four Divine Beasts as the navel of this world. It's an array that condenses the Heaven and Earth Essence, and it's the reason we are considered one of the top worlds in this universe." Zhong Hui explained as he leaned forward in his chair, eyes flashing with excitement.
"If one enters the formation of life, they will be surrounded by the World Power of the Ancestors. This World Power of the Ancestors will slowly decompose the expert's body within the formation, but as the body decomposes, the soul will be nourished. Their body will merge with the world around them, transcending the God Level."
"Not only can the Saints Team enter the array, but even weaker experts can remain for quite a significant time if their souls need immense strengthening. It's very painful and difficult to endure. However, I'm not sure if it's more or less painful than using Silver Moon's Pill, so maybe you can let your beloved child attempt it. I think you would surely attempt your own formation of life. The quicker you understand the world around you, the easier the process will be."
After the presentation ended, Zhong Hui was silent for a while, and Yan Xiaobao quietly thought about what had been said. This formation of life seemed prominent, but why did General Frozen need him? Even sharing information about the formation of life was a surprising move. Yan Xiaobao was very concerned about why he was being informed. What was the reason?
Seeing the frown on Yan Xiaobao's face, Zhong Hui guessed his thoughts, letting out a sigh. "I told you I'm an Ice Snake. I can't enter the Central Palace. No matter how much I want to, I simply can't." Zhong Hui said with a regrettable shake of his head.
"I can enter the sacred underground city and the peripheral parts of the Central Palace, but the center is protected by the energy of the four Divine Beasts who created this world. To be able to remove the formation of life requires becoming a god." After pausing for a moment, Zhong Hui sighed. "I want you to enter the formation of life, become a god, and steal the array, so I can also use it." He sighed again.
"I know you're indebted to me, and though stealing the array is no small feat, you can consider the information I give you as helpful. When you become a god, you can think of it as beneficial to me, and I will come when you need assistance; even if it means fighting him and his generals. As a god, I have confidence I can handle one of his generals. After all, I'm a Divine Beast."
Hearing his words, Yan Xiaobao was stunned, unsure of what to do. The allure of the formation of life was almost too much, but Yan Xiaobao realized it wasn't straightforward.
"I will help you." He said slowly. "But I'm not in a hurry to seize the array now." Yan Xiaobao said, his words making General Frozen both delighted and understanding.
"You're smart." He said, nodding. "Although weaker experts have a chance to enter the array, it is truly difficult to reach it. Because it's the center of the world, it is the most protected place. Worse yet, it now belongs to An Hee. He allows his four acolytes to use the formation of life to become gods. Their talents are quite limited, but they are his most loyal followers. Thus, he is not someone we can easily handle." Zhong Hui sighed.
"If it belongs to An Hee, then how can I lay my hands on the array if I don't want to face him off?" Yan Xiaobao sighed and asked. Although he was tempted by such a wondrous array, he was unwilling to risk the lives of himself and his friends. Living was more important than reaching the God Level early.
