Chapter 815: Refining Soul Pills
She almost died every time.
Nan Ningxin didn’t have a spirit root. She would probably die after serving the Archfiend a few more times.
So, Gu Bailu didn’t want to kill her herself. That would be too easy a death.
“Gu Bailu, don’t you want to know where your parents’ souls are?”
Nan Ningxin got up from the floor and spoke recklessly.
Gu Bailu frowned. Of course she wanted to know. She had never been able to find her parents’ souls.
“Where?” Gu Bailu asked.
Nan Ningxin chuckled. “You want to know? I won’t tell you. Their souls are suffering every day. Hahahaha.”
Gu Bailu threw a rune at Nan Ningxin, and Nan Ningxin fell to the floor in pain. Gu Bailu stepped on her and said, “Not going to tell me? Do you believe that I can’t find someone scarier than the Archfiend for you to serve?”
Nan Ningxin s.h.i.+vered and turned pale.
She had enough of that h.e.l.lish pain.
“How dare you! The Archfiend won’t let you go,” Nan Ningxin threatened her.
Gu Bailu sniffed. “The Archfiend is nothing. I’ll kill him sooner or later.”
Nan Ningxin hated that the heavens were so unfair, that it was so good to Gu Bailu.
She had only stolen the Sky Splitting Mirror from the Gu house. Why did the Gu family trash have to be this person?
She thought that her soul had already scattered and that she was no longer in the six realms!
What an ill-fated relations.h.i.+p.
“I can tell you where they are, but… you have to help me get rid of the Archfiend,” said Nan Ningxin.
Gu Bailu sniffed. “You’re still bargaining with me?”
Nan Ningxin, however, didn’t back down. “This is the only thing I have left to bargain with.”
“You do have some self-awareness. Tell me. If I find my parents’ souls, I’ll give you a quick death, and the Archfiend will no longer torture you.”
“In the royal tomb of Rising Clouds Empire.”
Gu Bailu had a disbelieving look on her face. Her parents’ souls were still in the human world?
“If you want to look for them, you’ll have to hurry. Otherwise, they’ll be refined into soul pills and disappear.”
“What do you mean?”
“The royal family of Rising Clouds Empire loves refining human souls into pills. Their souls become edible after being tortured for a long time, and they can be made into superior elixirs that can help the emperor of Rising Clouds Empire become immortal.”
Gu Bailu had heard Feng Qingtian say before that the emperor of Rising Clouds had already stopped handling court affairs for many years and it was the crown prince who was in charge now.
The emperor of Rising Clouds had been cultivating in seclusion for years.
Cultivating to become immortal wasn’t necessarily a sure thing. Some people couldn’t succeed even after a lifetime of cultivation.
Thus, someone refined a soul pill using the soul of a powerful expert, and helped a person successfully ascend to immortality.
The essence of Rising Clouds Empire was pill refinement, and it had more doctors than any of the other countries.
As a result, there were many doctors who refined pills for all sorts of things.
But there was only one person in Rising Clouds who could cultivate soul pills.
It was said that he was Mr. Xiao’s master.
However, Mr. Xiao never acknowledged him, and that man never acknowledged Mr. Xiao as his disciple.
Gu Bailu felt awful when she thought about her parents’ souls being refined into pills.
Although they may not be her real parents, they had always given her the greatest love as if she were their own after she was reincarnated.
