The Collector was still talking to himself.
"That's a panacea that can cure all diseases..."
It is extracted from the most natural essence of "life".
"That is the pinnacle of alchemical wisdom... if you believe what the original alchemists said."
"But that's utter nonsense! It's just the empty talk of a bunch of senile idiots, a fairy tale that only gullible children would believe... Look at yourself now."
"Drug dependence, lack of empathy, craving for violence, madness, endless death."
Inside the King's Box, the Collector silently added one more thing: lust.
Even after being glared at by the two women, the Collector still refused to back down.
"Attempting to tamper with cells never ends well..."
The Collector looked at Jiang Xiaofeng, then turned to look at his own machine.
"Do you like the catalyst I made? It's not anything fancy, but it's an essential tool for any aspiring alchemist."
The Collector seemed to calm down a bit and continued, "Let's not talk about that... How many cells did you bring me?"
"Could you please put the cells into this catalyst?"
Jiang Xiaofeng stepped forward, raised his hand, released a large number of cells, and threw them into the catalyst.
Soon, the machine processed the cells, and the light blue medicine slowly flowed into the small glass bottle.
The Collector picked up the small bottle, about to speak again, when Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly spoke.
Tell me the story of the Panacea.
The Collector turned around in surprise, looking at the speaking the Beheaded, seemingly unable to believe it.
Jiang Xiaofeng shrugged. "Didn't you hear me?"
The Collector, without saying a word, raised the small bottle.
"But... I have searched the entire island, looking inside countless bodies of the dead... and even extracted it from the living."
"There weren't many volunteers; almost all of them begged me to stop."
"What choices do I have left? Just this pile of false fairy tales...?"
"... How pathetic."
Jiang Xiaofeng clapped his hands and gave a thumbs-up to the Collector who had drunk the Panacea.
"That's quite a courageous act, ignoring what I said."
"You're dead."
The Collector removed the syringe from behind his back and held it in his hand.
"But actually... it feels amazing!"
"Very good, very good. You'd better be a good girl and bring me a few more cells... I'll send you back right now!"
Jiang Xiaofeng looked around and saw the Collector leading him to the upper level of the Observatory.
"It's time for your shot!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Xiaofeng raised his right hand and clenched his fist!
Time Warp!
Jiang Xiaofeng took out two pairs of Snake Fangs fangs and put them on his hands.
"Finally, I can take you down."
"I hope you can explain the story clearly before you die..."
With his final kick, Jiang Xiaofeng broke the Collector's syringe, and grabbed Jiang Xiaofeng Panacea, putting it away.
Jiang Xiaofeng leaped up and kicked the Collector in the stomach, sending the Collector flying and crashing into the wall.
"You..."
Jiang Xiaofeng walked over to the Collector and squatted down.
"What on earth did you do, you idiot...?"
"I've been desperately trying to save this twisted kingdom all along..."
"Save this country... from the harm of you, you bastard!"
Jiang Xiaofeng gave the Collector the middle finger.
"Hey, now we can't escape either."
"Um?!"
Before the Collector, Jiang Xiaofeng took out the King's attire and entered it.
"You've crawled back into your old skin again..."
" The Giant has woken up, otherwise I wouldn't be seeing you."
"He was in a pretty hurry when he ran out of the cell. Was he afraid I'd drag him back?"
Jiang Xiaofeng squatted down, looked at the Collector, and said calmly.
"The ticks of the swamp have their own followers."
"The heretics of the Honkai Shrines, the Moon God Clan."
"The apostates of the Undying Shores seem to have a simple resistance to disease."
" The Collector, just how intelligent are you? How much knowledge have you acquired?"
"You should know about the Conjunctivius, right?"
"The epidemic has been spreading for so long, and you've been researching it all this time, yet everything has been easily countered by this little bottle of your Panacea."
"Don't you find this ironic?"
Jiang Xiaofeng took out the small bottle and waved it in front of the Collector dared not breathe too loudly.
" The Scarecrow had come back to life, and then I killed it again."
" The Undying Shores and the Arboretum, those research notes, they're all yours, aren't they?"
"The Red Moon has an impact on you too, hasn't it?"
"You were also a test subject of the Moon God Clan, weren't you?"
"Apostates... heretics... the Moon God Clan... the Scarecrow... the wisdom of so many people cannot withstand this small bottle of Panacea."
"A cell extractor, what a perfect idea!"
"It's a real shame. You've chosen the right path, but you've met me."
"Well..."
Before the Collector could speak, Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly stood up.
"I've suddenly lost all interest in your story."
"I'll just kill you."
As he spoke, Jiang Xiaofeng kicked him.
"Aww!"
"Is that all? It's basically just tickling..."
"Without me, you are nothing..."
"Smack!"
"Practice makes perfect..."
"Click!"
Jiang Xiaofeng completely blew the Collector's brains out.
"Finally, it's all over... Enough is enough!"
"Research on artificial humans, the Beheaded, and plants..."
"Heretics, or rather, the Moon God Clan, are fucking geniuses."
Jiang Xiaofeng took out the last small bottle of the Panacea.
" The Collector's experiments caused the epidemic to spread... but in the end, the Collector found a way to atone for his mistake."
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the pale blue Panacea.
"However, this requires a huge number of cells to make a single bottle of Panacea... The income is disproportionate to the effort, so how can this be considered a solution?"
Amidst the shocked gazes of the three inside the King's Box, Jiang Xiaofeng raised the glass bottle and drank the remaining Panacea.
" Panacea..."
Jiang Xiaofeng closed his eyes.
"Although there's only a little left, it seems to be having some effect."
Jiang Xiaofeng felt his soul, which had been residing inside the moss ball, slowly disperse and merge with his body.
Over time, his pale skin gradually regained its color, and his wrinkles were smoothed out.
My soul and body have become one again.
Jiang Xiaofeng pressed his palm.
"It seems I can't easily switch to another body... but at least I have a body that isn't cursed."
"Perhaps I should take a look at the Forgotten Sepulcher."
"The mysterious black mist inside, without the protection of the Void Power, will cause injury if you stay there for a while."
"Well... the good news is that I no longer have to worry about another soul competing with me for this body."
"Having drunk the Panacea in this body, I am now the complete the King."
"The only the King."
