Please Help Me, Elder Electrolux

Gray currents surged and condensed into the form of an old man.

Mu Yuan looked at him and asked "hesitantly," "How should I address you, Senior?"

"My name is Electrolux. You may call me Elder Electrolux."

"Elder Electrolux." Mu Yuan took the opportunity to ask, "You just told me to obtain the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. What use does it have?"

"Didn't you notice?"

Electrolux seemed somewhat surprised as well.

Under Mu Yuan's puzzled gaze, he explained the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid's purpose.

"The treasure on your back has a hexagonal form and is connected to your arms. It can produce six arms, which, together with your original two arms, form eight arms. However, there are many barriers between them. The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid should be able to help you merge them into one."

Mu Yuan suddenly understood.

His confusion had been genuine.

When explaining things to Du Busi, he had made up the excuse of the Eight-Armed Demonic God simply because both involved the number eight. In truth, he had had no idea what Electrolux intended to use it for.

Now, he understood.

This was not actually about the perfect fusion of the External Soul Bone.

Du Busi was, after all, the Body Sect Master and a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo. Mu Yuan was also a transmigrator. How could they not know about perfect fusion? He had completed that fusion during his cultivation several years ago.

Yet perfect fusion only meant that the External Soul Bone had thoroughly merged into his body. It did not mean everything within his body was coordinated. Even a normal person's entirely original limbs could be uncoordinated.

"As for absorbing the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, you needn't worry. Its spirituality is already beginning to develop."

Electrolux seemed to imply something more.

Mu Yuan asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"I have never been to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but a place capable of increasing plant growth tenfold, where Heavenly Treasures like Immortal Herbs can grow in clusters, must itself exert a certain suppressive force on plants. It would instead be difficult for spirituality to arise there. Otherwise, this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, which is practically equivalent to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, would not have failed to develop spirituality. Now that your Sect Master has taken it out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, that suppression has disappeared."

Mu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"So you mean it will soon transform into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

"No. It has now lost its source of nourishment. If it wants to develop spirituality, you must still choose an environment suitable for its growth."

Mu Yuan immediately understood.

He knew what environment Electrolux meant.

"The Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife?"

"You call it the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife?" Electrolux nodded. "That is indeed fitting. The Malevolent Qi on its outer layer is fully exposed, and it has also been cursed. Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife is an appropriate name."

A glint flashed through Mu Yuan's eyes.

The core of the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife was Life Gold, a metal formed from pure life force. With it as a foundation, it could absolutely support the growth of an Immortal Herb.

Of course, Mu Yuan did not need to give the Life Gold to it as a foundation. So long as Electrolux helped divert a portion of its life force into the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, allowing it to complete the final process of becoming a Soul Beast, that would suffice.

"Elder Electrolux, I'll have to trouble you."

Mu Yuan bowed.

Electrolux waved a hand. "This old man only managed to linger on because of your help. It is merely a small favor."

As he spoke, he condensed a Spirit Body in reality and began drawing out the life force within the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife, guiding it into the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

After guiding it for a while, he stopped.

"At this rate, its transformation will be complete within a year," Electrolux said.

Mu Yuan secretly marveled. This was Elder Electrolux's value.

To be honest, Electrolux could not give Mu Yuan very many things, but the role he could play far exceeded that of a Tian Meng.

Seeing that Electrolux had not yet fallen silent, Mu Yuan took the opportunity to ask again, "Elder Electrolux, I also have some ideas regarding the absorption of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. I would like you to help evaluate them."

"Oh?"

Electrolux looked ready to hear the details.

Mu Yuan immediately explained his thoughts.

"My Martial Soul is only a pair of arms, which is ultimately somewhat lacking. I want to make up for that deficiency. The path of the Eight-Armed Demonic God is not merely about having eight arms in physical form; it also has an aspect involving mental will. I simply never knew how to develop it before."

"Now, I have vaguely come up with an idea. With the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, perhaps I can deeply excavate my Mental Attribute."

"Under normal circumstances, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could not accomplish this, but I have Life Gold."

"If I can use the Life Gold to open a Second Sea of Consciousness, then borrow the power of the Immortal Herb, perhaps there is hope of artificially creating a new Martial Soul."

"I do not ask for this Martial Soul to be able to cultivate or fuse Soul Rings. I only need it to take the form of a Martial Soul, so that I have a foundation to follow when cultivating Mental Power. I hope Elder Electrolux will help me!"

After hearing Mu Yuan's complete train of thought, Electrolux began to consider it seriously.

In just a few days, he had already discovered the peculiarities of this plane's Martial Soul System and conducted some research into Martial Souls.

Though it was not much, his interest was genuine.

After thinking for a long while, Electrolux spoke.

"I cannot guarantee that I can create a complete Martial Soul, but if you only need the form of one, I do have some confidence."

Mu Yuan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

What he meant was the third Martial Soul of the original Huo Yuhao, the form of the Holy Necromancer.

Since Electrolux could take the form of an unconventional Martial Soul, he should also be able to create a similar Martial Soul.

That was what Mu Yuan sought.

He would be satisfied if he could create a Second Martial Soul capable of cultivation. As for nine new Soul Ring slots, he did not particularly hope for them.

Of course, it would naturally be even better if he could have them.

"In that case, the curse on your Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife must be dealt with first," Electrolux said.

Mu Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't waste it. I'll absorb it with the Demon Seed."

"I will assist you."

Mu Yuan took out the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife again.

Electrolux condensed his form once more, and a ball of White Flame ignited in his hand.

"I will clear away the outermost layer of Negative Energy and leave the innermost Origin Evil Aura for you."

As he dealt with the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife, Electrolux explained things to Mu Yuan.

The way the two got along was akin to cooperation, mutually beneficial.

After all, they had not known each other for long.

This arrangement did not make either of them uncomfortable. Instead, they were both quite willing.

"I will also refine the Demon Seed within your body."

"Melt!"

Electrolux controlled the Purification Fire and refined Mu Yuan's Scarlet Spirit Bone in his right arm.

Countless Grievous Souls let out shrill wails.

Mu Yuan's face turned pale, and his Mental Power suffered violent impacts throughout the process.

The Scarlet Spirit Bone was an Evil Soul Master's Evil Soul Bone, condensed through the slaughter of large numbers of humans. Its ability to manipulate one's blood and vitality was an effect of the Soul Bone, but countless Grievous Souls were mixed within it.

These Grievous Souls had originally lurked within the Soul Bone. Now, together with the impurities within the Demon Seed, they were purged by Electrolux in one stroke.

After the purification was complete, Electrolux transformed from Evil's nemesis into an evil demon himself. With the hand of his Spirit Body, he directly drew out a cluster of Origin of Fierce Evil from the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife.

The Origin of Fierce Evil was exceptionally close to him in his hand.

Electrolux guided it into Mu Yuan's Scarlet Spirit Bone in his right arm, merging it into the Demon Seed.

The entire process went so smoothly it was absurd, as though what he was guiding in was not the Origin of Fierce Evil, but the Origin of Life.
