The Uninformed Man

Lucifer took a container from the System Space.

"Here!" He handed it to Ah Yin. "This container is a special Soul Tool that can preserve the blood's vitality!"

Left with no choice, Ah Yin accepted it in embarrassed indignation.

She tried to make one last struggle. "How about I give you a little more Essence Blood, and we forget about this?"

"More Essence Blood? That sounds great!" Lucifer took out another container.

Ah Yin accepted it, hope gleaming in her eyes. "Then the blood from those days every month doesn't count, right?"

"No! Don't waste that either! Thrift is a virtue!"

"..."

Ah Yin was filled with grief and indignation!

So she had given away extra Essence Blood for nothing?

"Oh, right! I'll come collect it once a month. Pick a date!"

"Don't worry!"

Lucifer handed Ah Yin a Soul Tool. He had exchanged it from the System Shop.

"If you channel Soul Power into this Soul Tool, I'll receive your location! Don't let anything go wrong with the first blood collection!"

"Mm!" Ah Yin did not harbor much suspicion either.

If Lucifer wanted to make a move against her, there was no need for him to reveal her identity first.

Besides, after giving him her location, she could simply leave the stuff there and depart early.

"Remember to keep the two kinds of blood in separate containers!" Before leaving, Lucifer gave her a thoughtful reminder.

"..." Ah Yin stared at his retreating back until he disappeared from sight.

After taking human form, she had imagined countless times what she would face if her true identity were exposed.

This was the one possibility she had never imagined!

Ah Yin was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

Once her embarrassment and indignation faded, endless curiosity surged within her.

What kind of person was Lucifer, exactly?

After learning that she was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast in human form, he had neither hunted her himself nor brought a group of Soul Masters to surround and kill her for a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.

Instead, he had threatened a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast into giving him some blood!

Ah Yin had never seen, nor even imagined, that such a person could exist in this world!

Lucifer's image became incomparably mysterious in her heart.

Well... besides being mysterious, he was also a little...

Lucifer truly had no intention of making a move against Ah Yin.

First, because of the Blue Silver Emperor's unique nature. Unless the Blue Silver Emperor killed herself or sacrificed herself, no one else could obtain her Spirit Ring or Spirit Bone.

Second, because of his strategy for resisting the Worldline's pull.

If he wanted to increase the repulsion between the two Worldlines and prevent them from converging into one, he had to increase the differences between them.

The first method was to change the fates of important people.

The second was to kill all the important people outright. That also counted as changing their fates, and it changed them thoroughly.

But if too many high-weight individuals died, this Worldline would become very weak!

The risk of this Worldline being absorbed would instead increase!

"It's fine to kill a few now and then, but I can't start out with slaughter on my mind!"

"Besides, that would be boring. Toying with people's hearts is far more interesting!"

Lucifer had never considered his journey in this world to be perilous or unpredictable.

He approached it with the attitude of playing through the world!

Just look at Ah Yin's embarrassed and furious expression earlier. How interesting!

What was more, Lucifer still wanted Ah Yin to give birth to Tang San so he could play with him!

He had already figured out how to toy with Tang San!

If he could not put it into practice, that would be such a shame!

Meanwhile, after buying supplies, Ah Yin returned to their temporary lodging.

"Ah Yin, why did you take so long?" Tang Hao asked curiously.

Ah Yin forced a smile. "I ran into a small problem on the way and got delayed."

Of course, she could not tell Tang Hao that she had been forced to hand over her Essence Blood.

First, it might expose her identity. Second, with Tang Hao's temperament, he would likely escalate the situation.

This had originally been something that could be settled merely by giving up a little blood.

"Okay!" Tang Hao did not think much of it. Then he excitedly waved a letter at Ah Yin.

"Ah Yin, I just received a letter delivered by a Clear Sky Sect carrier pigeon!"

"It was sent by Big Brother."

"As expected, the Clear Sky Sect has organized a team of Soul Masters to search the Star Dou Great Forest for rare Blue Silver Grass!"

"Big Brother is leading the team, and they've just arrived in Haagen-Dazs City!"

"Let's go meet Big Brother together!"

"Sure!" Ah Yin nodded slightly. "I haven't seen Tang Xiao in a long time either!"

Tang Hao laughed heartily. "Perfect timing. Big Brother has just become a Titled Douluo. I want to spar with him."

"Let's see whether this newly promoted His Excellency Xiaotian is worthy of the title!"

Ah Yin: "..."

Tang Xiao had actually become a Titled Douluo!

She did not want to go anymore!

"Mm... On second thought, you should go by yourself!"

Ah Yin found an excuse.

"This is a gathering of disciples from your Clear Sky Sect. It doesn't seem appropriate for an outsider like me to go."

"How are you an outsider?" Tang Hao said anxiously.

Ah Yin asked in return, "If I'm not an outsider, then what am I?"

"Uh..." Tang Hao was instantly left speechless. Even after scratching his head, he could not think of an answer.

Disappointment showed in Ah Yin's eyes.

It seemed she would have to be the one to advance their relationship.

But what had happened recently made her hesitate somewhat.

In the end, Tang Hao went alone to meet Tang Xiao.

The moment they met, Tang Xiao asked, "Where's Ah Yin? Why didn't she come?"

Tang Hao told him the truth.

"Alas!" Tang Xiao felt somewhat helpless. Tang Hao's cultivation talent was stronger than his, but when it came to love, he was a little dense.

Still, he had no way to advise Tang Hao.

Though he had stepped aside, he still had feelings for Ah Yin in his heart. He could not bring himself to teach someone else how to pursue her, even if that someone was Tang Hao.

He could only change the subject. "Hao Di, you should know about the recent Blue Silver craze."

"Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters as powerful as Ah Yin are currently being courted by all the major factions."

"Have you asked Ah Yin whether she'd be willing to join our Clear Sky Sect?"

Tang Hao shook his head.

"Then find an opportunity to ask her! This is something you'll have to face eventually."

"Mm!"

Tang Hao nodded, then smiled. "It's been a long time since we sparred, hasn't it, His Excellency Xiaotian?"

"Then don't beg for mercy later!" Tang Xiao said with a mischievous grin.

Lucifer returned to Spirit City with Ah Yin's Essence Blood.

He immediately used Qian Daoliu's token to enter Spirit Hall's medicinal herb treasury.

Here, as long as they were not rare varieties on the level of immortal herbs, every kind of medicinal herb was available.

The herbs Lucifer needed were not difficult to find.

After all, the finished Blue Silver Grass juice he wanted to make merely promoted development and boosted vitality.

Under normal circumstances, this formula was already highly effective when made with Thousand-year Blue Silver Grass.

Using Blue Silver Emperor Blood to make it would multiply its effects severalfold.

Among the eighteen formulas, Blue Silver Emperor Blood appeared only in the one capable of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh to bare bones.

Using it this way was, strictly speaking, a bit wasteful.

But he did not care.

As long as it could make Qian Renxue develop faster!

"Earth Soul Grass!"

"Tiger Zhi Leaf!"

"..."

It did not take Lucifer long to find the several herbs he needed.
