Under Song Wen’s instruction, Zhou Siyi swiftly descended onto the small island.
"Fellow Daoist, may I know your na?" Mu Yunxin, who was not far from her, asked.
"I am Zhou Shuang from the Asura Sect. May I ask for your esteed na?" Zhou Siyi replied.
"Mu Yunxin."
The two exchanged a smile and then fell silent, both turning their gazes upward to Lan Chen and Song Wen in mid-air.
A soundproof barrier enveloped the sky, preventing them from hearing the conversation between Lan Chen and Song Wen.
"May I ask what the Fairy wishes to learn from ?" Song Wen inquired.
"Fellow Daoist Yin Shuo, during our last eting, Yang Yu ntioned that you used a half-human, half-serpent creature to fuse Mystic Qi that possesses both life and death attributes. I wish to know if you possess the thod to breed these Human Serpents," Lan Chen said.
Song Wen’s eyes subtly shifted downward, glancing at Zhou Siyi on the island.
He was sowhat surprised that Lan Chen also sought the thod to breed Human Serpents.
Perhaps, Fang Pengyi’s request for the breeding thod from Zhou Siyi had the involvent of the He Huan Sect behind it.
After all, the Profound Heaven Sword Sect and the He Huan Sect had always maintained a good relationship.
After a brief mont of contemplation, Song Wen responded.
"I can provide you with the thod to breed Human Serpents. However, before that, I hope you can enlighten . Why are you and Yang Yu from the Beastmaster Sect so interested in these Human Serpents? Or rather, what is so extraordinary about Mystic Qi that it has garnered such attention from the top cultivators of your esteed sects?"
Lan Chen’s eyes lit up, clearly surprised that Song Wen indeed possessed the thod to breed Human Serpents.
She distinctly rembered that during their last eting at the East Huafang Market, Song Wen had explicitly told her that he did not know the thod.
Lan Chen said, "It is rumored that Mystic Qi is related to Divine Transformation."
"Divine Transformation?"
A flicker of astonishnt passed through Song Wen’s eyes.
Lan Chen nodded, "This matter was spread by Gou Jun from the Corpse Demon Sect. Whether it is true or not, I cannot be certain."
Song Wen replied, "As far as I know, Gou Jun has been at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for nearly two hundred years. Now, his lifespan is running out. If he truly knew the thod of Divine Transformation, why would he remain trapped at this stage for so many years without ascending to the upper realm?"
Lan Chen said, "Gou Jun probably only obtained fragnts of the Divine Transformation thod."
"If that’s the case, what use are these Human Serpents and Mystic Qi?" Song Wen asked, puzzled.
Lan Chen countered with a question, "Fellow Daoist, are you aware of the Divine Blood Gate and the Divine Blood Hall?"
Song Wen replied, "I know a little about them."
Lan Chen explained, "The Divine Transformation thod in Gou Jun’s possession was obtained from the Divine Blood Hall. The Divine Blood Hall will reopen in twenty years. Naturally, we must first fuse Mystic Qi to prepare for any eventuality. If we can indeed obtain the complete Divine Transformation thod in the Divine Blood Hall, wouldn’t it be a waste of ti to fuse Mystic Qi only then?"
Song Wen suddenly rembered that Xue i had once ntioned that many core mbers of the Divine Blood Gate had successfully ascended to the upper realm.
However, Xue i suspected that this was related to the "Corpse King’s Rebirth Art."
This was also the reason why Xue i was so obsessed with the "Corpse King’s Rebirth Art."
"Could it be that the Divine Transformation thod Lan Chen, Yang Yu, and others have been desperately seeking is actually the ’Corpse King’s Rebirth Art’? Were they misled by Gou Jun in their pursuit of Mystic Qi? Of course, this might not have been intentional on Gou Jun’s part. It’s possible that the information he obtained from the Divine Blood Hall was too limited, leading to his own misunderstanding," Song Wen speculated silently in his heart.
Song Wen had many doubts in his mind, and he finally spoke up.
"Back in the East Huafang Market, Fairy, you once sought cooperation with Yang Yu. Has your sect still not obtained the Human Serpent breeding thod from the Beastmaster Sect after all these years?"
Lan Chen replied, "The Beastmaster Sect did provide with two Human Serpents brimming with Mystic Qi. However, they were unwilling to hand over the breeding thod. To this day, no one knows how to utilize Mystic Qi. If one day we discover its usage, but the Mystic Qi contained in these two Human Serpents is insufficient, wouldn’t I be at the rcy of others? Therefore, I must master the Human Serpent breeding technique to produce Human Serpents filled with Mystic Qi on my own."
"I see," Song Wen said.
In simple terms, Lan Chen, Yang Yu, and others were unaware of the true purpose of Mystic Qi. They were rely planning ahead.
Lan Chen continued, "Fellow Daoist Yin Shuo, I have already told you everything I know. Could you now hand over the Human Serpent breeding thod?"
Song Wen replied, "The Human Serpent breeding thod is not in my possession."
Lan Chen’s expression imdiately darkened, but then Song Wen added.
"However, the woman traveling with knows it. It was through her that the Beastmaster Sect’s Human Serpents were originally bred."
A glint of excitent flashed in Lan Chen’s eyes.
"Really?"
"Absolutely true," Song Wen said. "However, I hope Fairy will not disclose this matter and will keep her identity confidential. Otherwise, it could bring her significant trouble."
Lan Chen spoke with a serious expression, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, this matter will not leak from ."
"I trust your promise, Fellow Daoist," Song Wen said.
Lan Chen swiftly moved and appeared in front of Zhou Siyi.
"Young friend, may I know your na?"
Zhou Siyi, startled by Lan Chen’s sudden approach, quickly clasped her hands and said.
"This junior is Zhou Shuang, paying respects to Senior."
Lan Chen asked, "Were you the one who first bred the Beastmaster Sect’s Human Serpents?"
Zhou Siyi imdiately understood that Song Wen must have told Lan Chen about this. She nodded in acknowledgnt.
Lan Chen then said, "Would you be willing to visit the Human Serpent Workshop of my He Huan Sect and provide guidance on Human Serpent breeding?"
Zhou Siyi hesitated and looked up at Song Wen in the air.
Song Wen said, "Fairy Lan Chen, Senior Sister Zhou can visit your sect’s Human Serpent Workshop. Coincidentally, we also have a few small matters we would like to ask for your assistance with."
Lan Chen replied, "Fellow Daoist Yin Shuo, please speak freely."
Song Wen said, "Senior Sister Zhou requires Iridescent Pearls for her cultivation. Could Fairy generously provide so?"
Lan Chen readily agreed, "A few Iridescent Pearls are a trivial matter. I will provide one hundred as compensation for Young Friend Zhou. How does that sound?"
"Thank you, Fairy Lan Chen. Additionally, we also need seeds for three types of spiritual herbs," Song Wen said.
"Which three herbs?" Lan Chen asked.
"Primordial Qi Mushroom, Purple Essence Grass, and Three Treasures Flower," Song Wen replied.
These three spiritual herbs are all fourth-tier and among the more difficult to find within that category. They are also essential for refining the ’Blood Demon Pill,’ and they happen to be the three herbs that Fang Pengyi had failed to gather.
Lan Chen said, "I can provide you with fifty seeds for each herb. How does that sound, fellow Daoist?"
"Thank you, fellow Daoist," Song Wen replied with a faint smile. "Additionally, I’ve heard that there is a third-tier Toxic Flood Dragon in Pure Lake. This creature could be of so use to . I wonder if the Fairy could..."
Lan Chen responded, "At the southwestern shore of Pure Lake, where the Qingling River flows into the lake, the Toxic Flood Dragon is often seen in that area. You may go there to search for it yourself."
"Thank you, Fairy," Song Wen said, cupping his hands in gratitude.
Lan Chen then asked, "Do you have any other conditions, fellow Daoist?"
Song Wen shook his head.
The essence of trade lies in mutual benefit and reciprocity.
Raising prices on the spot is not the proper way of conducting business.
Lan Chen nodded slightly, evidently quite satisfied with the deal.
"In that case, I’ll ask Fellow Daoist Yin Shuo and Xiao Zhou to accompany us to the Human Serpent Workshop to provide so guidance."
"May I ask where your sect’s Human Serpent Workshop is located?" Song Wen inquired.
"Not far from here, just over a thousand miles away," Lan Chen replied.
The reason the He Huan Sect established the Human Serpent Workshop in Pure Lake is related to the living habits of the Human Serpent and the Green Jade Snake.
The Spirit Beast Breeding Workshop of the Beastmaster Sect in the Great Yan Kingdom, which first bred the Human Serpent, was also built by a lake.
Therefore, the He Huan Sect believes that lakes are more suitable for the breeding of Human Serpents.
"Please lead the way, Fairy," Song Wen said.
