Chapter 1781: Chapter 1777: Conditions

"That’s right, the Dan formula itself isn’t the problem, and it’s indeed the Taiqing Pill formula, but..." Yulin Immortal spoke halfway, hesitating.

"What is it?" Shen Luo immediately asked.

"The materials required to refine the Taiqing Pill, none are anything but extremely rare Heavenly Treasures, can you really gather them all?" Yulin Immortal raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Luo.

"I’ve already gathered all the materials needed in the formula. If the immortal doesn’t believe me, you may check them first." Shen Luo said while raising his hand with a wave.

In front of him, Spiritual Light flickered in the void, and materials like the Daluo Buddha’s Hand and Jade-striped Nine Aroma Worm appeared one by one, hovering in the void, radiating a glossy sheen. Vigorous Spiritual Power surged forth, creating visible ripples in the air.

The Black Bear Demon nearby stared with wide eyes, his tongue involuntarily hanging out, almost drooling.

Yulin Immortal, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but reveal a look of envy.

"Immortal, if you help refine the Taiqing Pill, I’m willing to offer two Nine-petaled Earth Core Fire Lotuses as a thank-you." Seeing the situation, Shen Luo took the opportunity to say.

As soon as he finished speaking, unexpectedly, Yulin Immortal said, "Collect your materials and Dan formula, I can’t help you refine this Taiqing Pill."

"Why is that?" Shen Luo couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

"I won’t hide it from you, the Taiqing Pill is an elixir needed to upgrade to the Taiyi Realm, and the difficulty of refining it is enormous. I’ve never successfully refined it in the past, and your materials are limited, only enough to attempt two batches. Any failure will waste all the materials, and I’m not confident in assured success." Yulin Immortal stated candidly without hiding.

However, her gaze didn’t leave those materials as she spoke, so it wasn’t hard to see that she was still somewhat eager to try.

Upon hearing her words, Shen Luo also showed a hint of hesitation. After all, gathering the materials for the Taiqing Pill was indeed not easy.

Seeing this, Yulin Immortal said no more and turned to walk into the Valley.

At this point, the Black Bear Demon was the first to get anxious, hastily shouting, "Yulin Immortal, haven’t you always claimed to be the number one in alchemy at Mount Putuo, why back down today?"

"Black Dog Bear, what did you say?" Yulin Immortal snapped back, turning angrily.

"Yulin Immortal, not to speak of anything else, but in terms of alchemy, I’ve always thought you were the best." The Black Bear Demon suddenly looked scared under her glare, "Hehe," he chuckled awkwardly, giving a thumbs up.

"I dare not comment on the Immortal’s level of alchemy, but success and failure in alchemy are normal. Since I am willing to entrust the Immortal, I am prepared for failure. Please, Immortal, feel free to refine without concern for the outcome." Shen Luo pondered for a moment, then spoke up.

Hearing this, Yulin Immortal’s expression softened slightly, yet she still did not respond.

"Yulin Immortal, I forgot to introduce him. This Daoist friend’s family name is Shen, his name is Luo." The Black Bear Demon suddenly remembered something and quickly said.

At first, Yulin Immortal showed no reaction, but soon her expression changed.

"Are you that Shen Luo?"

Her question seemed abrupt. However, Shen Luo immediately grasped the implication, the one who had taken Nie Caizhu away?

"I am he." Shen Luo nodded helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Yulin Immortal couldn’t help but scrutinize Shen Luo, eventually saying, "I can help you refine the Taiqing Pill..."

"Thank you, Immortal." Shen Luo immediately clasped his hands in gratitude.

"Don’t rush to thank me. To refine the Taiqing Pill for you, I need your help with something first." Yulin Immortal stopped him and said.

"Please, Immortal, tell me." Shen Luo said with a slight frown.

"It is said that three thousand miles deep in the Southern Sea, a Great Ravine exists, where a peculiar tribe thriving on both water and fire resides. I need you to help me fetch one hundred Water-Fire Ming Pills from their tribe as a reward for refining the Taiqing Pill for you, how about that?" Yulin Immortal proposed.

Hearing this, Shen Luo was about to agree, but the Black Bear Demon extended his hand to stop him.

"Yulin Immortal, isn’t this request a bit..." The Black Bear Demon said seriously, looking at her.

"Black Dog Bear, shut up." Yulin Immortal directly rebuked.

"I..."

The Black Bear Demon wanted to speak but silenced himself under Yulin Immortal’s stern glare.

"I do not insist on this matter, only if you can accomplish it will I help you refine; if not, don’t keep asking." Yulin Immortal looked at Shen Luo and said.

"Alright, it’s a deal." Shen Luo nodded.

Seeing him agree, Yulin Immortal gave a slight smile at the corner of her mouth and turned back into the Valley.

"Sigh, Brother Shen, why did you agree like that? Just now, had I kept pressing a bit longer, she would have surely agreed to help you directly." The Black Bear Demon said helplessly, resigned.

"Brother Black, don’t worry. I’ve ventured through many dangerous places. Since Yulin Immortal requires these... Water-Fire Ming Pills, I’ll gather them for her. One thing in exchange for the other; this avoids favorable debts." Shen Luo replied with a carefree smile.

"Ah, Brother Shen, it’s not about danger. You don’t know, that..."

"Black Dog Bear, if you dare speak another word, don’t ever think of asking me to refine a single Elixir for you again." Before the Black Bear Demon could finish, Yulin Immortal’s warning voice echoed from the Valley.

The Black Bear Demon’s face fell, and he indeed spoke no further.

"Alright, Brother Black, I appreciate your good intentions. Regarding the Water-Fire Ming Pills, I’ll look into it myself, so don’t worry about me." Seeing this, Shen Luo said with a smile.

"Sigh, well, best of luck to you then." The Black Bear Demon shook his head, sighed.

The two then left the Valley, heading toward the front of Luojia Mountain.

On the way, Shen Luo asked, "By the way, Brother Black, Yulin Immortal’s breath doesn’t seem like that of an ordinary monk from Mount Putuo, does it?"

"You’re not mistaken, Yulin Immortal she... she’s not of the Human Race, like me, she counts as a Demon." The Black Bear Demon explained.

"As I guessed, only, I wonder what her true form is?" Shen Luo asked.

"That..." The Black Bear Demon hesitated, scratching the back of his head.

"If it’s inconvenient then don’t say it." Shen Luo didn’t mind, smiling as he spoke.

"Brother Shen, this time around, I’ve received a decree, I can’t accompany you to the Great Ravine." The Black Bear Demon said, a bit embarrassed.

"It’s alright, I’ll go alone." Shen Luo waved his hand with a smile.

"There are many Demon Race beings entrenched there, including some powerful Demons not under the control of the South Sea Dragon Palace. Be cautious on your journey, and don’t force it if it’s too difficult." The Black Bear Demon warned, his tone a bit more solemn.

"Don’t worry, Brother Black, I’ll be careful." Shen Luo cupped his hands in thanks.
