"It finally worked. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yuan Qiu," Shen Luo said, breathing a sigh of relief.
"The effects of these Frenzied Powder Butterflies' scales last only half a quarter of an hour. If you have anything to ask, Fellow Daoist Shen, you had better hurry. Once the effects wear off, this man's divine soul will recover very quickly," Yuan Qiu said.

"Many years ago, I joined forces with several fellow Daoists from the Eastern Continent of Superior Divinity... to ambush and kill a Mahayana cultivator... I obtained this pearl from him. Only after investigating did I discover that the Myriad Poisons Pearl belonged to the Daughter Village," the golden-skinned man continued.
"Was the person you killed a cultivator from the Daughter Village?" At these words, the corners of Shen Luo's eyes lifted, and he hastily pressed for an answer.
"I don't know... That person was a man, so probably not..." the golden-skinned man said without the slightest inflection.
