Chapter 1603 - 1603 1593 Li Shaobai's Request

1603: Chapter 1593: Li Shaobai’s Request 1603: Chapter 1593: Li Shaobai’s Request Long Yan had already thrown all the medicinal materials needed to refine the Yin Yang Xuanlei Pill into the Nine Suns Divine Cauldron; refining the Yin Yang Xuanlei Pill didn’t require his intervention at all.

After Long Chen, Zhan Wushuang, and Xia Xueer left, Long Yan prepared to start his cultivation.

“Thump,” “thump thump.”

At this moment, there came a knocking sound from outside.

“What else could it be?”

Long Yan’s first reaction was that the knocking must be one of Long Chen, Zhan Wushuang, or Xia Xueer.

“Li Shaobai.”

Opening the door, Long Yan was somewhat surprised; it was Li Shaobai, the one who had competed with him for the Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal in Wen You Valley.

“I’ve come to ask you for a favor.”

Li Shaobai began speaking.

“Come in and talk.”

Long Yan stepped aside to let Li Shaobai into the room, then closed the door after him.

“If you’ve come for the Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.

I will absolutely not hand it over to you,” Long Yan said bluntly, not waiting for Li Shaobai to speak first.

By now, the Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal was being refined by the Nine Suns Divine Cauldron, so it was no longer possible to hand it over to Li Shaobai.

“I’m not here for the Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal,” said Li Shaobai.

“I’m here to ask you for a favor.”

From their time at Wen You Valley, he had realized that the Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal was also very important to Long Yan.

If it was just for the crystal, he wouldn’t have come to Long Yan for help.

“Let’s hear it.”

Long Yan was somewhat surprised; his relationship with Li Shaobai was merely that of strangers who had met by chance.

On what basis was Li Shaobai approaching him?

“You obtained the Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal to refine the Yin Yang Xuanlei Pill and trade it for information at the Asura Pavilion, right?” asked Li Shaobai.

“How did you know?”

Long Yan furrowed his eyebrows slightly but did not hide the fact.

“Here in the Underground Ghost City, getting some information isn’t hard.

You obtained the Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal in Wen You Valley, then purchased some auxiliary medicinal materials needed for refining the Yin Yang Xuanlei Pill.

That means you plan to refine it yourself.

That is to say, you are an alchemist, correct?” Li Shaobai inquired, looking at Long Yan.

“Indeed, I am an alchemist, and I do plan to refine the Yin Yang Xuanlei Pill,” Long Yan acknowledged with a nod.

Was Li Shaobai seeking his services to refine pills?

“That’s great, as long as you are an alchemist, that’s all I need.

I need you to help me with a favor,” Li Shaobai exclaimed with a considerable relief.

Previously, he had thought of how to obtain the Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal from Long Yan, but upon discovering that Long Yan intended to refine the Yin Yang Xuanlei Pill, he changed his mind and came to seek Long Yan’s help voluntarily.

Long Yan’s confidence in refining the Yin Yang Xuanlei Pill surely meant he was no ordinary alchemist and must reach a very high level in the Pill Dao.

“This is the situation: my master is seriously injured and is on the brink of life and death.

I am here to request your help to save him,” said Li Shaobai.

“Did you go to Wen You Valley to compete for the Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal for your master?” Long Yan asked.

“Correct, my master is inflicted with a high toxic poison which is corroding both his flesh and soul.

The Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal should be able to suppress the high toxicity; it’s a desperate measure.” Li Shaobai explained.

“If I’m not mistaken, your master must be at least a Supreme Emperor.

The high toxicity that leaves him helpless is probably beyond my ability to assist.” Long Yan stated flatly, subtly expressing his reluctance.

Indeed, since Li Shaobai himself was at the Undying Emperor Realm, his master’s cultivation level was certainly not ordinary, at least a Supreme Emperor.

“Mr.

Sin Heaven, I did offend you before in pursuit of the Yin and Yang Xuan Thunder Crystal and I ask for your understanding.

My master is my only kin; please help save him.”

Li Shaobai stood up, bowed deeply to Long Yan expressing a significant gesture.

“What makes you think I can save your master?

Don’t forget, I am only at the Silence and Annihilation Emperor Stage.”

Long Yan said.

He was curious about this too.

After all, he had just arrived at the Underground Ghost City, and Li Shaobai knew absolutely nothing about him.

“Intuition, my intuition tells me that you can.”

Li Shaobai said with certainty.

Of course, that was just his reasoning.

Long Yan’s strength was astonishing, and he was an exceptional alchemist, which was the real reason Li Shaobai believed in him.

“Intuition is not reliable, I can tell you, your intuition is wrong.”

Long Yan said with a smile.

“No, my intuition has always been accurate.”

Li Shaobai said, “Mr.

Sin Heaven, please go and take a look.

Even if you truly cannot help, I will owe you a favor.

If you indeed cure my master, then Li Shaobai’s life is yours.”

Li Shaobai was not foolish; he could naturally discern the confidence subtly exuding from Long Yan’s words.

“Since that is so, I will go and take a look with you.”

After pondering for a moment, Long Yan nodded and agreed.

He had a favorable impression of Li Shaobai, and since Li Shaobai had come to him, there was no harm in taking a look.

“Thank you!”

Li Shaobai immediately expressed his gratitude.

Right after that, Long Yan left the Wind Hearing Tavern with Li Shaobai.

An hour later, the two arrived at a courtyard that was somewhat dilapidated, which suggested that the conditions Li Shaobai and his master lived under were not good.

“My master is in this room, Mr.

Sin Heaven, please come in!”

Li Shaobai opened the door and made a gesture inviting Long Yan to enter.

Long Yan hummed softly and then stepped into the room.

“Such strong poison gas!”

As soon as Long Yan walked into the room, he sensed a strong poison gas, which he dared not underestimate even in his capacity.

“Shaobai, is there a visitor?”

Just then, a weary voice came from behind the curtain, evidently belonging to a woman.

The voice was extremely weary as if speaking took all her energy.

“Master, I have brought a master here who can heal your poisoning.”

Li Shaobai walked up to the curtain and spoke respectfully.

“Shaobai, I know you have good intentions.

I am aware of my condition myself, and I have come to terms with it.

This day was inevitable, so don’t feel too sad for me.”

The voice issued from behind the curtain, wearing a tone of exhaustion yet filled with consolation.

“Master, that won’t be necessary; there must be a way to cure you of the poison.”

Li Shaobai said and then turned to Long Yan, “Mr.

Sin Heaven, it’s all up to you now.”

The master had only a few days left, and he had pinned all his hopes on Long Yan.

“Even if I can’t detoxify completely, I can still manage temporary suppression.

However, I need to assess your master’s condition.”

Long Yan said.

He possessed the Nine Suns Laws.

Ordinary poisons could not affect him, so he was somewhat confident about detoxifying.

“You really are confident?”

Upon hearing this, Li Shaobai’s eyes brightened, his expression becoming greatly elated.

“Master, Mr.

Sin Heaven…”

Li Shaobai said to his master behind the curtain.

“Pull back the curtain, I understand your intentions,”

Before Li Shaobai could finish his sentence, his master’s voice already interjected.
