Zhu Yin's request

After bidding farewell to the Daoist Lan Yin and Purple Cloud, Song Wen and Zhu Yin boarded a spaceship and returned to Limitless Island.

"Extreme Yin, when do you plan to start refining the Infant Spirit Pill?" Zhu Yin asked.

"I plan to refine the Infant Spirit Pill after I have made a breakthrough in my cultivation."

Song Wen's so-called breakthrough in cultivation naturally refers to breaking through to the Peak Golden Core Stage.

"What realm is your cultivation at?" Zhu Yin pressed.

Having been in contact with Song Wen for so long, she naturally realized that Song Wen's cultivation level was far more than just the Golden Core Early Stage.

"I cannot tell you," Song Wen said.

"I have no intention of probing your true cultivation level; I only wish for you to begin refining the Infant Spirit Pill as soon as possible," Zhu Yin said.

"Why is that? Fellow Zhu Yin, are you in such a hurry to form your Nascent Soul? Haste makes waste. Whether it's refining the Infant Spirit Pill or forming your Nascent Soul, it's best not to rush things," Song Wen said.

Zhu Yin shook her head, her eyes fixed on Song Wen, a hint of pleading in them.

"Extreme Yin, I'm afraid I can't wait that long. I only beg you to start Alchemy the pills as soon as possible."

Song Wen instantly recalled that back in Lan Yin's cave abode, Zhu Yin had asked Daoist Lan Yin, as well as himself and Purple Cloud, to help her conceal her true cultivation level.

Zhu Yin seemed to have some compelling reason, not only deliberately concealing her true cultivation level, but also sparing no effort to improve it as quickly as possible.

Song Wen suddenly realized why Zhu Yin had asked him to refine the Infant Spirit Pill; she didn't want too many people to know about it and wanted to secretly advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

This made Song Wen realize that this might be an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"I'll do my best," Song Wen said casually.

Zhu Yin clearly sensed the perfunctory tone in Song Wen's words.

"Doing your best is not enough. I hope you can refine the Infant Spirit Pill within five years."

"Fellow Zhu Yin, you are asking too much of us," Song Wen said.

"I have prepared enough medicinal herbs for two sets of Infant Spirit Pill spirit medicine, and I even have spirit medicine left over. For example, I have three Purple Salvia Roots. I can provide all the extra spirit medicine to you, fellow Daoist, free of charge."

"Since you obtained Yuan Qing's storage ring, you must have at least two portions of spirit medicine. Adding what I have, we might be able to gather five portions. Each batch of Infant Spirit Pill yields one pill, one for you and one for me. This way, you'll have three chances to try and fail, greatly increasing your chances of successfully refining the Infant Spirit Pill."

After Zhu Yin finished speaking, she handed a Jade Slip to Song Wen.

The Jade Slip contained a list of the Infant Spirit Pill spirit medicine she had collected.

After careful comparison, Song Wen said.

"Aside from the Earth Dragon Ganoderma, we have enough of the other spirit medicine for five portions, but we only have four Earth Dragon Ganoderma left."

"Leave the missing Earth Dragon Ganoderma to me. I will definitely find another one within a year. Fellow Daoist, can you promise me that you can refine the Infant Spirit Pill within five years?" Zhu Yin said.

Song Wen said, "It's still not enough."

"What else do you want?" Zhu Yin asked, somewhat annoyed.

"The Cultivation Method of <Undying True Corpse Transformation>," Song Wen said.

Zhu Yin asked, "What do you want this Cultivation Method for? Do you want to cultivate it? The <Undying True Corpse Transformation> isn't so easy to cultivate."

"There's no need for you to trouble yourself with that," Song Wen said.

Zhu Yin said, "I have the Cultivation Method for the <Undying True Corpse Transformation>, and I can give it to you now. But you can't let cultivating this Cultivation Method interfere with refining the Infant Spirit Pill."

Song Wen was secretly delighted, but his face remained calm.

"Don't worry, I know what's important and what's urgent."

"That would be best."

Zhu Yin tossed a Jade Slip to Song Wen.

Song Wen took the Jade Slip and, after a casual examination, discovered that its contents were exactly the same as what Bie Chou Jade Slip told him.

"Is there anything wrong with your Cultivation Method? According to the Cultivation Method's records, after using <Undying True Corpse Transformation>, one can transform into a three-zhang (approximately 16.6 meters) zombie. Back then, Yuan Qing was only one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) tall," Song Wen asked.

Zhu Yin said, "The Cultivation Method itself is fine. As for Yuan Qing only being able to transform into a ten-foot-tall zombie, 'Xugeng' mentioned this before. He said that only those who cultivate the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art> can unleash its full Cultivation Method. Those who mainly cultivate other corpse-path Cultivation Method can only unleash a portion of its power. Therefore, I advise you to think twice before acting. Don't waste too much time and Cultivation Resources on a Cultivation Method that cannot unleash its true power."

Song Wen said, "Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I already have my own plans."

Upon arriving at Limitless Island, Song Wen and Zhu Yin parted ways.

The two agreed that when Song Wen was about to start refining the Infant Spirit Pill, Zhu Yin would send Song Wen the spirit medicine she had.

Song Wen arrived at a short distance outside the Flame-Soil Spirit Fields and contacted Han Wu using Message Jade Slip.

[Young friend Han, how's the information gathering regarding cultivators practicing the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art> going?]

[Senior, you've finally contacted me. I've obtained the list of everyone on Limitless Island who cultivates the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>. I've tried to contact you multiple times using the Message Jade Slip, but I haven't received a reply. I even tried to contact Jing Kai privately, but Jing Kai couldn't reach you either.] Han Wu replied via message.

Upon seeing this message, Song Wen's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

In just six months, Han Wu claimed to have obtained a list of all those who cultivated the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>, which made Song Wen suspicious that something was amiss. Or perhaps, Han Wu was deceiving him with false information in order to obtain the Golden Core Pill.

[Young friend, you are indeed efficient and decisive, gathering the list so quickly. But where did this information come from? Could it be inaccurate?]

[Rest assured, senior. My master works at the Transmission Hall on Limitless Island. The information came from him, so there will be absolutely no problem.]

Song Wen suddenly remembered that when Jing Kai provided information about Han Wu, he did mention that Han Wu had a master who was a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, whose cultivation level was comparable to Han Wu's current level.

However, the relationship between Han Wu and his master was distant.

Master Han Wu only accepted Han Wu as his disciple to fulfill sect missions; he didn't care much about Han Wu as a disciple.

Song Wen took out Jing Kai's Message Jade Slip and asked.

[Young friend Jing, how have you been lately?]

Jing Kai quickly sent back the message.

[Extreme Yin, thank you for your concern. I am well.]

"Did Han Wu contact you recently?" Song Wen asked.

[That's true. About two months ago, Han Wu came to see me, hoping to find you through me. But I haven't been able to get in touch with you either.]

"Young friend Jing, how much do you know about Han Wu's master?" Song Wen asked.

[Han Wu's master is named Xie Ji, and he is a steward in the Transmission Hall.] Jing Kai replied.

Jing Kai's words perfectly corroborated what Han Wu had said.
