Seeing that the man was stubborn, Bai Lan decided to change her approach and instead asked about something else.
"Speaking of which, after I led you away from the Nine Yin Secret Realm, another senior, a Divine Immortal, appeared shortly afterward. It seems he has been searching for you for a long time. I wonder who this person is..."
True Monarch Jiuge's expression was complicated for a moment, but he remained silent.
"What is the relationship between the infant Devil Cultivator Xuan Sha Zi, who was sealed in the Soul Nurturing Wood Hall by the senior, and the senior...?"
"This person is quite good at refining pills. I only wanted him to help me refine a few pills back then, but I never expected that when I found him, he had already become a remnant soul. However, this person possesses a wisp of Extreme Cold Ice Flame. Even if his physical body is damaged and he cannot use spiritual power, he can still refine pills with spiritual fire."
In short, she just captured an infant to help her refine pills.
Poor Xuan Sha Zi, sometimes being Alchemist is a high-risk profession...
While he was alive, he was kidnapped by that woman Suiyun to refine pills, and she also took a wisp of his ice flame.
Now that he's dead and a spirit, he's been kidnapped by the God of Death to refine elixirs.
After finally escaping, he was kidnapped by Bai Lan and brought to the Spirit Taming Sect refined into pills.
Looking at the True Monarch Jiuge inside the stone chamber, Bai Lan fell into deep thought.
It was already a pleasant surprise to have gained another goddess this time. If she were to occupy her little dark room and refuse to leave, it would be a great loss for her.
This little dark room will have a big place to hide later.
"If you, senior, are willing to give me a wisp of your divine soul and join my Spirit Taming Sect on the position of Patriarch, I can Heart Demon Vow that as long as you do not betray me, I will not attack you. In this way, you can rest assured, and I can also release you with peace of mind. What do you say?"
Even if a non-aggression pact is signed, no matter how much concessions are made, the soul must be collected, Bai Lan must still maintain a dominant position in the relationship between the two people.
Elder Fu was immediately agitated. "Why didn't you make such Heart Demon Vow to me back then!"
"You didn't say that at the time."
"..." Having gone three days without eating nine meals, Elder Fu was already blinded by the Soul Nurturing Pill and could not remember so many things.
True Monarch Jiuge frowned and fell into deep thought.
When facing a cultivator of divine power, Bai Lan doesn't mind being more patient and waiting for her to consider the outcome.
Therefore, while True Monarch Jiuge was pondering, Bai Lan took the Storage Bag containing Wu Yin's corpse to see Xuan Sha Zi.
There aren't many people who can make Bai Lan make Heart Demon Vow Wu Yin. Xuan Sha Zi is one of them. Back then, in order to obtain his Mystic Fiend Pill Scripture, Bai Lan did not hesitate to make Heart Demon Vow to kill Wu Yin.
Now that Wu Yin is dead, the Heart Demon Vow can be considered fulfilled.
"Wonderful, wonderful! I never imagined that such a small sect could hold so many books..." Xuan Sha Zi was currently immersed in the Spirit Taming Sect 'Library Pavilion, flipping through the Jade Slip inside, completely absorbed.
"Senior Xuan Sha Zi, how have you been?"
Once upon a time, when Bai Lan only knew Xuan Sha Zi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, she repeatedly reloaded her save file to go to the Nine Yin Secret Realm to seek Xuan Sha Zi's advice on alchemy.
Therefore, Xuan Sha Zi was a stranger to her, but Bai Lan was already very familiar with this old man.
"Who! Who is it!" Xuan Sha Zi suddenly put down the Jade Slip slip, turned around abruptly, and met Bai Lan's smiling eyes.
"It's you? I never expected you to be Spirit Taming Sect... You actually broke through to the Core Formation stage with the talent of a Five Spirit Roots! I was right about you back then..." Xuan Sha Zi said with satisfaction, "With such talent, you might very well break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Killing Wu Yin is just around the corner!"
Bai Lan remained silent, but took out the ice coffin containing Wu Yin's corpse from her Storage Bag.
"The agreement between us has been fulfilled. Although Wu Yin did not die by my hand, I entrusted another young infant to kill him. According to the agreement, his body will be handed over to you."
Xuan Sha Zi's expression froze. He looked down at Xuan Sha Zi, who had been cut into three pieces, in the ice coffin. After a long silence, he finally let out a loud, cackling laugh.
It is indeed a joyous occasion to have one's family's sworn enemy killed.
"Hahahaha, you idiot! You old thief from the Wu Yin, I never thought you'd meet your end! A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, dying at the hands of a mere Core Formation junior, what a pathetic death..."
Xuan Sha Zi gritted his teeth and finished speaking, staring intently at the corpse in the coffin. "In this way, I can appease the wronged souls of the Gongsun Family who died at your hands. If Lian'er has a spirit in heaven, she will surely forgive me..."
"Lian'er? You must be referring to Gongsun Lian?"
"What, you know my daughter?" Xuan Sha Zi exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, are you saying that Lian'er isn't dead, and that old thief Wu Yin didn't kill her?"
Bai Lan didn't answer, but instead slowly made a grand promise, "You want to see Gongsun Lian?"
"Nature!"
"If you can refine all the pills listed on the paper within three days, I will have Gongsun Lian come to see you."
Three days later, Gongsun Lian will bring Bai Ling to meet her. To prevent Xuan Sha Zi from missing his daughter too much during these three days, Bai Lan decided to find him something to do and help several Core Formation cultivators in the Void Stone who are about to Nascent Soul breakthrough their Nascent Souls to refine pills.
Xuan Sha Zi immediately became anxious. "You brat, how dare you order me around! Tell me the whereabouts of Gongsun Lian at once, or else..."
