Chapter 270: The Two Uses of Jiang Lin's Immortal Skeleton
If someone really wanted to wipe out Xiao Yan's entire family, and Xiao Yan could still forgive them, then how should one put it? Hai Bo Dong could only sigh and say: This child is truly terrifying!
"But I suppose we've come at the right time. The Mo family's elder's birthday banquet is tomorrow. What are you planning to do?" Hai Bo Dong looked at Xiao Yan, waiting for his plan.
Xiao Yan had agreed to concoct a fifth-grade pill for Hai Bo Dong, named the Revival Purple Spirit Pill, which would help the user gradually restore their original realm. Hai Bo Dong's original strength was at the level of five-star Dou Ling, but now he had only recovered to the strength of two-star Dou Ling. If he tried to recover on his own, it might take more than a decade to restore his five-star Dou Ling. However, with the Revival Purple Spirit Pill, he could perhaps recover in one or two years. This deal was very worthwhile for Hai Bo Dong.
As for offending the Yun Lan Sect, Hai Bo Dong wasn't too worried. The Yun Lan Sect only had two Dou Huang, a new sect leader with the strength of three-star Dou Huang, and an old sect leader at the peak of nine-star Dou Huang, whose life or death was unknown. As long as Hai Bo Dong didn't actively provoke the Yun Lan Sect, he would likely be safe within the Gamma Empire... except for the Serpent Clan. But upon further thought, Hai Bo Dong figured that even if the Queen Medusa had captured him back then, she probably wouldn't have killed him. The Dou Huang were as precious as sixth-grade magical beasts, and Queen Medusa could bind Hai Bo Dong and notify the Empire for ransom.
The Serpent Clan had clashed with the Gamma Empire before, but the highest-ranking person to die was only a Dou Wang. The death of a Dou Huang had never been reported. Only when the Gamma Empire was at war with external forces did Dou Huang fall. When Gu He led a three-star Dou Huang into the Serpent Clan's forbidden land, it wasn't because they overestimated their power, but because they knew a death match was unlikely. After all, Queen Medusa was notorious, and it was widely known that she was at least a nine-star Dou Huang. Gu He leading a three-star Dou Huang to risk his life made no sense otherwise.
So, Hai Bo Dong's disappearance for so many years, with rumors that he had fallen under Queen Medusa's skirt, was not without reason. If Hai Bo Dong had truly been unwilling to comply, he would have been ransomed long ago. In reality, his disappearance was probably because he didn't intend to return, and instead was preparing to serve as a Dou Huang in the Serpent Clan. The more Hai Bo Dong thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
"Let's charge straight in!" On the bustling streets of Salt City, Xiao Yan looked at the Mo family's flags hanging outside the shops and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"The Mo family wants to kill my brother, and we've already formed a grudge, so there's no need to hold back!" If the Mo family had merely captured Qing Lin, Xiao Yan wouldn't have been so angry, but the fact that they had sent people to try and kill members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps, to silence them, had struck at Xiao Yan's reverse scale.
"The only concern now is... What role does Brother Lin play in the Mo family?" Xiao Yan's eyes flashed as he looked at the invitation letter in his hand. He hesitated. "Based on Brother Lin's sudden disappearance, it seems like there's something unclear between him and the Mo family. This makes me a little worried."
"Could it be that the Mo family is actually under Jiang Lin's control?" Hai Bo Dong thought for a moment, then nodded seriously. He truly believed that there were some surprising similarities between Jiang Lin and the Mo family.
"Do you think it's possible that Jiang Lin came from the Mo family?" Hai Bo Dong's wild imagination ran free.
"..." Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, then he shook his head. "No, Brother Lin and I are from the same place. After he went to the Refiner's Guild, he probably met many people, and the Mo family might be one of them. If the Mo family possesses a technique to steal organs, then based on Brother Lin's personality, he would probably be very interested."
"Hmm?" Hai Bo Dong suddenly made a small sound, then curiously asked Xiao Yan, "Do you think it's possible that Jiang Lin is after the so-called Bi She San Hua Tong? And he wants to get it first and frame the Mo family?"
"..." Xiao Yan's face darkened under his conical hat.
"You guessed well, but please stop guessing now."
In Xiao Yan's heart, Yao Chen laughed aloud, "Hahaha! The Bi She San Hua Tong is indeed strange, but how could it compare to the royal bloodline? Don't talk about the Bi She San Hua Tong, even an entire set of Bi She San Hua Tong bloodlines can't compare to even a single finger of that little demon's bloodline!"
"You don't know, Xiao Yan! The strength of that little demon's bloodline is absolutely rare in the world! He's only in the third realm of spiritual sense, and how old is he? I've seen both his sense of form and his sense of energy! Why do I always say that when you fly with exotic fire, that little demon will follow the trail? It's because his energy sense can detect energy fluctuations! The Bi She San Hua Tong wouldn't even be worthy of holding shoes for that little demon's spiritual eyes!"
"Do you know why I want you to build a good relationship with the little demon? Because the path he's on right now means that if he dies, his body is immortal! It's as if you can get a super spiritual treasure that has body refining, marrow washing, energy refining, super strong spiritual sense, and more, all in one! As long as you inherit the little demon's body, breaking through to Dou Sheng in the future is not impossible! Your Xuan Zhong Chi can only let you reach Dou Zong at most, but if the little demon reaches Dou Zong with you, his body will allow you to reach Dou Sheng!"
"…Master, can't you wish for something good? Why do you always wish for Brother Lin to die?" Xiao Yan was both surprised and bitterly smiling at Yao Chen's words. Yao Chen had been telling him about this constantly. Jiang Lin was a refiner, but his best work as a refiner would definitely be his own... blah blah blah. Xiao Yan was so used to hearing it that his ears were getting callused.
"Besides..." However, Xiao Yan suddenly changed the subject, smiling inwardly, "Even if that day comes, Brother Lin's immortal skeleton, such a great thing, should be left for Master, right? Master, you need a strong body and skeleton to be resurrected. So, Brother Lin's immortal skeleton should naturally be reserved for you to use for resurrection."
"…" Miraculously, Yao Chen, who had just been mocking Hai Bo Dong's shortsightedness, suddenly fell silent.
"You... What you said is quite tempting." Yao Chen realized that he didn't have a reason to refute this.
However,
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Every time we talk about it, I'll be wishing for him to die earlier."
"This little demon... The more I see of him, the more I think he's somewhat likable."
