Hell Emperor.

Chapter 513: Shoufa - Reincarnation
"How is this possible... I still remember the memories of my previous life. The memories of Nanshan Jue and Wujiangyin, these top-level skills, did not disappear with reincarnation, but are rooted in my mind. Even if I don't have natural magical powers, one day, I may still have a chance to cultivate them..."

After a brief moment of shock, Shoufa's heart was filled with ecstasy. As a human being reborn, he still remembered everything from his previous life. This was a surprise to him. In this life, he should be called Wu Fa.

"The most urgent task now is to contact my master... I didn't expect Palace Master Ye to turn against us and declare war at this time, and for such a ridiculous reason. Could it be that the Ten Thousand Snake Cave gave him some benefits? No, I must let my master know about this. As long as I can meet my master, everything will be fine..."

Shoufa kept thinking and wanted to go find Old Man Wanshou right away. However, the baby's body forced him to give up this idea. His fingers were curled up into a ball, and it was very difficult for him to even open his hands. He would cry as soon as he opened his mouth, let alone go on the journey alone.

"Forget it. I haven't adapted to the body of a baby yet. I'll let Palace Master Ye be proud for a while and let the experts in the Chamber of Commerce deal with him... But, where exactly is this place? Am I safe now?"

Putting the past aside, Shoufa's attention quickly shifted to his own situation. He looked around and was very worried.

"If I remember correctly, the ninth-rank reincarnation can only be reborn into a poor family with a very bad environment... Are my parents in this life mortals? But why do I feel that my father has some cultivation? Well, when I regain my status in my previous life, I will give them a reward that mortals cannot earn in ten lifetimes, and end their fate of reincarnation in this life."

Looking around, his new home could be described as bare and with almost no furniture to be seen. Even he, a newborn, was just lying on the thatched straw. It was in stark contrast to the once dazzling array of things in the Chamber of Commerce, which made him very uncomfortable.

Shoufa did not complain about this. This was the way to be reborn as a ninth-grade reincarnation with one hundred good karmas. Born in a poor family, he had to rely on himself for everything. Don't expect any wealth from his ancestors. It was good enough if he didn't leave behind a lot of debts. He was lucky to be reborn as a human being, at least he didn't become an animal.

Just as Shoufa was thinking, a series of dull footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"What are you going to do? My child has just been born, why are you making trouble here?"

The exclamation that came from his ears made Shoufa's heart sink. That was clearly the voice of his father in this life. Could something unexpected have happened?
Soon, another cold whisper came: "Do I need to remind you of the rules of Wanshou City? You are a Shounu, and your children are also Shounu. The life span of Shounu belongs to Wanshou Elder. In order to prevent Shounu from escaping, they can only have the last day of life left on them."

"Wanshou City? Is this Wanshou City?"

Hearing this, Shoufa's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the place where he was born in this life was in Wanshou City. He went directly back to his hometown. It could be said that he got it without any effort and saved a lot of trouble.

However, the waves of pleading in his ears also made Shoufa's heart tremble: "He has just been born, there is no way he can escape. Why do you want to take away his life now? At least... you have to wait until he grows up."

"You are just a longevity slave, you are not qualified to bargain! You are unwilling to hand over your life, are you going to disobey the decision of Wanshou City?"

The door opened, and a haughty-looking ghost messenger walked in, followed by a dejected man.

Faced with the banner of Wanshou City held up by the Ghost Officer of the Longevity Service, the man did not dare to persuade him, but the Ghost Officer of the Longevity Service was still unwilling to let him go and sarcastically said:
"I've heard of you. I heard that you were also an immortal in the city before. However, because you offended someone you shouldn't have offended and made a big mistake, you were abolished and demoted to a longevity slave. Now you are dissatisfied with the city's decision. Are you trying to make it worse? As a longevity slave, you should have the consciousness of a longevity slave!"

The man felt a chill in his heart and dared not continue to dissuade her.

Until then, Shoufa came back to his senses in shock and looked carefully at the face of his father in this life for the first time. Suddenly, his eyes turned dark.

This person was none other than the city gate guard who had offended Ye Jie when Ye Jie visited that day. The guard's name was Wu Lin. To be honest, it was Shou Fa who demoted him to Shou Slave. So many things had happened during that time that Shou Fa had completely forgotten the man's face. Unexpectedly, he was reincarnated as the man's son. It was really unpredictable.

The longevity flag was waving, and most of Shoufa's life span had passed. The best years that should have belonged to him were all packed into the flag in the hands of the longevity ghost, leaving only the last day.

The freezing cold wind enveloped Wu Fa's heart, and the endless fear was hard to describe. He had just been reincarnated, and in the blink of an eye he was on the verge of death. If he did not have a supplementary life span, he would die like a dying old man in a day.

Seeing the child's life span being taken away, Wu Lin clenched his fists, his face full of indignation. In the end, he said nothing, but just sighed:

"What should he do now that he has lost his life span? He is so young that he is not capable of handling the heavy tasks in Wanshou City."

The ghost messenger of Shouwu said coldly: "This is your business. Maybe you need one person to do the work of two people, or take on those dangerous tasks. However, with your current strength of the second stage of body building, I am afraid you can't do anything."

After saying that, the longevity ghost didn't give the two of them a good look at all. He slammed the door and left. Wu Lin, who was left there, sighed and had a bitter face. It seemed that he was blaming himself for not protecting the child and causing him to lose his life.

Even Shoufa, who was lying on the thatch, had a complicated expression on his face for a moment.

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have demoted him to a longevity slave... However, if he hadn't become a longevity slave, this family wouldn't be considered poor at all, and I would probably have been reincarnated into another family... It's really a bad fate."

Shoufa was filled with emotion. He was once at the top of Wanshou Kingdom and had inexhaustible life span, but he never thought that there would be such a day. So this is what it feels like to become a mortal and a longevity slave?
"This is not good... Whether it is Nanshan Jue or Wujiang Yin, they both require the consumption of life to activate. Now I only have one day of life left, where can I get extra life to consume?"

Shoufa was filled with distress. He had mastered the martial arts passed down by the Fairy Wanshou, which could shorten his lifespan and accelerate his cultivation. However, now that his lifespan was gone, even if he had mastered this magical skill, he could only watch and worry.

The reason why all the life spans of the Shou slaves were taken away was not only to prevent them from escaping, but more importantly, to cut off their possibility of practicing the magical skills of Wanshou City and to make them forever powerless to resist.

Once upon a time, Shoufa had loudly praised the superiority of the methods of the Fairy Wanshou, but now, he has to wear this shackle himself.

…………

"Wait, am I forgetting something?"

After sending Shoufa's soul away, Ye Jie frowned, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He carefully checked the information on the eight-sided stitched pages, and indeed saw what he had missed. "There is a small probability that the memory of the previous life cannot be erased? What kind of reincarnation facility is this?"

After browsing carefully and reading the information above, Ye Jie couldn't help but rub his forehead. This was the first time he had seen a reincarnation facility that required the ghost to erase the memory of his soul by himself.

As expected, cheap things don’t come cheap. To build the small golden wheel, one only needs 100,000 good deeds. Naturally, its effect is incomplete and can only be said to be barely usable.

After some thought, Ye Jie seemed to remember something: "Eliminate the reincarnation memory by yourself? I seem to have heard the maids in the wine country mention this matter. They should have a way. Speaking of which, it just so happens that I need Meng Junyao's help to clean up the pollution left by Pan Tianqi Zun, so I'll go to the wine country to take a look."

Thinking of this, Ye Jie did not hesitate and immediately set off for the wine country.

Seeing Ye Jie coming, the maids put down their tasks and gathered together. Yulan held the pipa in her arms, stroked the strings and said, "Brother Jie, why are you free today and come to the wine village? Are you planning to listen to my music?"

Ye Jie smiled and said, "It is a wonderful thing to be able to listen to the music played by Magnolia. However, I am not here for this purpose, but for another important matter."

After a pause, Ye Jie told the truth: "I need to find a way to erase the soul's memories of past lives and use it in the reincarnation facilities so that reincarnation can proceed normally. I heard that there is a strange object in the wine country that can take on this task. Can you tell me the method?"

Guazi nodded: "The magic item that erases memories... You mean Aunt Meng's soup, right? That's the brewing method left by Aunt Meng. Usually, the maids use Aunt Meng's soup to mix with wine, which is why the Forget-Sorrow Wine in the wine country is famous far and wide. Using Aunt Meng's soup to erase the memories of the past life should work."

Ye Jie's eyes lit up: "This is exactly it. I wonder what kind of ingredients are needed to brew Aunt Meng's soup? Can you tell me the method?"

Seeing Ye Jie's sincere desire to learn, Bohe raised the corner of his mouth: "The method left by Aunt Meng is not a common dead recipe, but a special living recipe that most people don't know."

Ye Jie was a little confused and couldn't help asking: "What is the dead side and what is the living side?"

Mint blinked and curled his lips, looking as if he would not answer unless given a benefit.

Fuling put away the folding fan and hit Mint on the top of his head with it. Mint's ears shrank in pain and he couldn't help but groan. There was a bit of complaint in his eyes: "Why did you hit my head? Don't you know that hitting my head will make me stupid?"

Fuling looked at her unhappily: "What do you think?"

Bohe pursed her lips, looking unhappy: "I know... We are not asking Brother Jie for anything else, we just want the special recipes of Northern Juluzhou. We have worked so hard to collect the recipes, why are you so angry..."

Fuling glared at her, then carefully explained to Ye Jie: "Common recipes for elixirs, talismans, or methods of creating magic weapons have all been recorded and practiced by countless practitioners. They are set methods and cannot be changed regardless of the seasons. Once changed, they will become completely ineffective. This is a dead recipe."

After a pause, Fuling continued, "For a rare item like Aunt Meng's Soup, the method of making it is not fixed, but will constantly change with the world. This is a living recipe."

Ye Jie nodded. It seemed that Aunt Meng's soup was truly miraculous. It was indeed a magical item that could erase the memory of the previous life. Then he heard Mint say:
"Hehe, you don't know, but to make Aunt Meng's Soup, you need seven main ingredients. The use of these seven main ingredients is based on the names of our maids. If the maids are replaced, the main ingredients must also be replaced, otherwise Aunt Meng's Soup cannot be made."

Ye Jie understood that the names of the maids in the wine country all corresponded to a unique medicinal herb. It was said that Aunt Meng was practicing the way of fate, and it seemed that she chose these people to be maids deliberately.

Ye Jie recalled that the wine country was the manifestation of a magic weapon, and the maids' rooms all planted their own corresponding medicinal herbs, so he asked: "Can you give me some of those main ingredients so that I can complete the refining of Aunt Meng's soup."

Guazi said slowly, "You don't have to do that. The maids will regularly make Aunt Meng's soup and wine. They are very familiar with it. If you need it, let the maids make it for you."

With these words, Ye Jie saved himself a lot of trouble. Not long after, the maids brought the remaining jar of Aunt Meng's soup and handed it to Ye Jie.

Now that the magic item is in hand, even if the power of the Small Golden Wheel is weak, at least it can be reincarnated normally. Thinking of what the maids just said, Ye Jie asked again:

"By the way, you just mentioned the recipe, what does that mean?"

Fuling did not hide anything and answered truthfully:
"Brother Jie, you don't know that as the wine country arrived in different continents, the maids were not idle. They continued to collect special recipes from different regions and improve the existing wine country delicacies to better suit the tastes of local people."

Hearing this, Youkui, the maid with stitches on her mouth, nodded repeatedly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't open her mouth.

Thinking of the journey, Ye Jie was also a little curious: "Did you do the same thing when you were in Dongsheng Shenzhou before?"

Mint became interested when he heard this and replied, "Of course, we have collected a lot of recipes from monsters in Japan and other places. If we make them, with Youkui's skills, I'm afraid even the monster king will be attracted."

"Monster recipes..." Ye Jie was speechless for a moment, feeling that it was a little unreliable. "Don't monsters eat humans? Does the recipe record how to make humans delicious?"

Bohe opened his mouth wide, and even Fuling couldn't help but stroke his forehead: "Brother Jie has misunderstood. Monsters have all gained intelligence, and some monsters' pursuit of food is no less than that of humans. The recipes contain the food that whets the monsters' appetites."

Ye Jie nodded, and then heard Yulan sigh, "We have come to Northern Juluzhou this time, where immortals are flourishing. Logically, we should go to collect immortal recipes, but immortals eat only wind and dew, and are aloof from the world. They are not tempted by delicious food at all, and we don't know where to go to collect immortal recipes."

After learning about the maids' troubles, Ye Jie took the lead and said, "Don't worry, leave the matter of finding the immortal recipe to me. I will pay attention to it in the future."
