Li Moxun's Request, Gu Yue's Compensation

Inside the room, Li Moxun sat quietly cross-legged.

His expression was calm, and his eyes never changed.

The next second, a red-haired girl appeared out of thin air beside Li Moxun.

Looking at the scales covering the girl's hand, Li Moxun frowned. Somewhat anxiously, he stepped forward, lifted the girl's delicate jade-like fingers, and looked at the scales attached to them.

Li Moxun raised his hand. Powerful spiritual force gathered in his eyes, then he slowly touched Erii's head.

Then, in the next second, Erii's figure gradually shrank until she returned to her palm-sized little-person form.

In her little-person form, Erii looked at Li Moxun in slight confusion. Her beautiful red eyes blinked, then she quietly plopped down on the floor.

Looking at little Erii's condition, Li Moxun carefully examined her palm.

Several more scales had appeared on her hand. The same thing had happened the last time he used Erii's power.

And once he used too much of it, Erii's soul spirit, or rather her soul, would enter a semi-out-of-control state.

"I'm sorry. In that previous era, I had no choice. I needed to rely on your power to survive."

"But now, in this era, I've already revived, and have even begun gradually taking over the White King's power, yet I still need to rely on you."

As Li Moxun spoke, he sighed softly.

A trace of pity appeared in his eyes, and then he gently stroked Erii's head.

As his power descended, little Erii's figure was instantly taken back into his spiritual sea.

After little Erii disappeared, Li Moxun sat there.

He did not refine pills. He simply looked calmly into the distance.

As time ticked by, after roughly ten minutes or so, illusory power opened beside him, and Gu Yue's figure appeared.

At this moment, Gu Yue's face was somewhat pale. She looked at Li Moxun with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"I'm sorry. This time, I dragged you down. That power was very strong. It could forcibly erase the plane lord's soul avatar."

"For you to use that power at your current stage, you must have had to pay quite a price as well, right?"

As Gu Yue spoke, she coughed twice.

She was using this to express her thanks to Li Moxun, but in reality, she was also probing him.

However, in the face of Gu Yue's probing, Li Moxun merely swept an icy glance over her.

There was none of his earlier calm in his eyes, only a bone-piercing chill.

"If I hadn't been afraid that he would mark you and completely trigger this plane lord's awakening, dragging me down to die with you, I would never have cared about you, Gu Yue."

As Li Moxun spoke, he slowly stood up.

His gaze fixed on the girl before him, and on Zi Ji, who had just appeared beside her.

"I need compensation for this. I want five ten-thousand-year spirit herbs. Also, I want that portable space of yours that can be opened at any time."

At this point, Li Moxun's indifferent eyes watched Gu Yue and Zi Ji, and a flash of killing intent passed through them.

"You can refuse, but if you do, the grudge between us will be as good as settled."

As Li Moxun spoke, he smiled at the two women.

Sensing the killing intent in his eyes, Gu Yue said nothing, her eyes still calm.

But beside her, a trace of disdain flashed through Zi Ji's eyes, and then she abruptly stood up.

Her palm instantly transformed into a purple dragon claw. Terrifying power descended—the power belonging to a hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast.

But the next second, just as Zi Ji was about to step forward, an accident occurred.

Li Moxun's suddenly blazing Golden Pupils stared at her, and then the White King Martial Soul appeared behind him.

The next second, countless strands of spiritual force gathered. That spiritual force turned into threads as thin as cicada wings, and in an instant, they entered Zi Ji's mind.

As bone-piercing pain came over her, Zi Ji cried out miserably. Then she clutched her head with one hand and looked at Li Moxun in shock.

Spiritual attacks were an extremely powerful method of attack, but the problem was that dragons were born with very strong defenses against spiritual attacks.

For him to break through a dragon's spiritual defense when the gap between the two sides was so great showed just how terrifying Li Moxun's spiritual force was.

Sensing Li Moxun's actions—or rather, the spiritual force Li Moxun had released—Gu Yue's cold, calm face fell into a moment of silence.

Only after roughly five minutes did Gu Yue calmly nod.

"Fine. Five ten-thousand-year spirit herbs, and that small space as well. I can give them all to you. Today was my fault. I apologize to you for this matter."

Gu Yue spoke calmly. After she finished, she raised her hand, and a ring in it was directly tossed over.

It was a very unique ring, entirely pure silver in color.

It was enveloped in a strange and dreamlike power. Sensing how unusual it was, Li Moxun extended his spiritual force into it. Inside was a small space.

It was somewhat similar to Huo Yuhao's Undead Space.

However, its nature was different. This space under Gu Yue's control had been condensed with her own God-King-level power, far beyond anything Electrolux could compare to.

Or rather, the two were not even on the same level.

This space was even more stable. Though it was smaller, it was already enough for Li Moxun.

With this space, he could refine pills in peace, then continuously raise his own strength.

At that thought, Li Moxun's cold gaze eased somewhat, and the Golden Pupils in his eyes dispersed.

He gave Gu Yue a faint smile, then sat back down on his bed with a thump.

"Then I'll thank you both for the gift. May I ask if you two have any other business? If not, please leave. Don't disturb my pill-refining time."

When Li Moxun said this, his face had already returned to that calm, water-still expression from before.

Looking at Li Moxun, Gu Yue gave him a deep look, then raised her hand. A flower, entirely emerald-blue in color, appeared in her palm.

"This plant is called Jade Orchid Grass. It is a ten-thousand-year-old healing spirit herb with extremely strong vitality, and it only grows around Life Lake."

"The life energy contained within it, if refined into pills, will be of great help to our injuries. I'll have to trouble you. Next time, I'll give you your payment together."

As Gu Yue spoke, she tossed the spirit herb out.

As for her, she gave Li Moxun one last deep look, then pulled Zi Ji along, and the two of them vanished in an instant.

Watching the two of them leave completely, Li Moxun sat there quietly.

Beside him, a miniature version of A-Tai appeared.

A-Tai looked at Li Moxun somewhat nervously, a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"Just who is that human? She should be a soul beast undergoing recultivation, but why is the aura on her so powerful—powerful enough to make even me feel afraid?"

"And that purple-haired woman following her should be Zi Ji, right? She's one of the top soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Is it really okay for us to provoke her like this?"

As A-Tai spoke, his fists knocked together, and a trace of tension showed in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, he naturally would not have been afraid. After all, he was the Titan Snow Demon King, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

But the problem was that he had now completely become Li Moxun's spirit soul and could not release his own power at all.

Listening to A-Tai's words and seeing the nervousness on his face, Li Moxun only glanced at him lightly.

Then his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he sat there, surrounded by the power belonging to another space.

He raised his hand, and the pill furnace was opened.
