The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

I resisted, I tried once…

Hyland lifted her shirt, revealing a shocking scar on her chest. The scar stretched from her collarbone down to her lower abdomen, as if her entire body had been brutally ripped open.

"Although the Soul Devouring Demon God is only a wisp of his soul left, his power is still beyond my ability to contend with. His soul servants are all at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending realm, and their soul attacks, in particular, any one of them could easily... sigh..."

No further explanation is needed; Hyland's appearance speaks for itself.

"That time, I almost died at the hands of the Black Soul. He drained my most trusted deputy chieftain into a dried-up corpse right in front of me. Since then, I have never dared to resist again. I can only offer sacrifices on time every year to keep the Siren Clan alive."

Hai Xue'er covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

Shen Yifei patted Hai Xue'er on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Elder Chief, don't worry, I'm here to deal with that old bastard, Soul Devourer."

Hyland raised her head, looked at Shen Yifei, and shook her head. "Young man, I know your cultivation is not weak, but the Soul Devouring Demon God is not someone you can deal with. Even if he only has a wisp of his soul left, he is still an ancient demon god. You are just a beginner in the Tribulation Transcending stage... even his Soul Envoys..."

Shen Yifei chuckled, offering no rebuttal. Indeed, if it weren't for the Soul-Cleansing Grass, he might not have won against Black Soul and White Fiend just now.

Hai Xue'er whispered to Hailand about how she had dealt with the Black Soul and White Fiend.

"Soul-purifying grass?" Hyland's voice trembled. "That legendary herb that can purify the soul? You...you actually found it?"

Shen Yifei patted the head of the still-sleeping Soul-Purifying Grass, "This is the Soul-Purifying Grass. It just absorbed the souls of Black Soul and White Fiend!"

Disturbed, the Soul-Cleansing Grass grumbled twice in dissatisfaction, then changed its position and continued sleeping.

Upon seeing the Soul-Cleansing Herb, Hyland straightened up abruptly, as if experiencing a final burst of energy before death.

He pointed at the Soul-Cleansing Grass, tapping his upper and lower teeth together, but couldn't utter a single word.

The ancient texts of the Siren Clan also describe the Soul-Cleansing Grass, but those are all legendary treasures.

Hyland let out a long sigh, lay back down on the stone bed, and after a while, said, "Young Master Shen, although that Soul-Devouring Demon God is only a wisp of his soul left, his power is indeed terrifying. The Soul-Purifying Grass can deal with the Black Soul and White Fiend, but to deal with his true form, I'm afraid..."

"Elder Chief, don't worry, I have a plan."

Seeing his confident demeanor, Hyland didn't say anything more, but simply advised, "Young Master Shen, the Soul-Devouring Demon God has a habit of accepting offerings from the depths of the Abyss on the night of the full moon on the fifteenth of each month. If you really want to make your move, that day will be the best opportunity."

"The night of the full moon?" Shen Yifei first thought of Princess Zhaoyue, but the timing was somewhat conflicting.

"Does it have to be a full moon night?"

Hyland nodded. "It's a rule set by the Soul Devouring Demon God. He will personally appear and devour the souls of the sacrifices. If you want to make a move, you can blend in with the sacrifices and enter the Abyss."

Hai Xue'er explained, "The Siren Clan will be escorting a batch of sacrifices to the Underworld. You can disguise yourself as one of them and sneak in."

"Alright, let's do it that way. But I need to prepare something in the next ten days or so, a big gift for that old man."

After leaving a few bottles of pills for Hailand, Shen Yifei asked Hai Xueer to find him a secret room and instructed her not to reveal that the old patriarch had regained consciousness.

After setting up a restriction on the secret chamber, Shen Yifei entered the Myriad Things Cauldron.

Upon entering Guan Suyunzhao's alchemy room, Suyunzhao still looked alluring, only her eyes no longer held that captivating sparkle.

"Shen Yifei... what... what exactly do you want to do to me?"

"Madam Ye, don't be nervous. I'm here today to give you and your son a great opportunity," Shen Yifei said with a smile.

"Fortune? Heh..." Su Yunzhao gave a bitter laugh. "If you want to refine us into pills, just say so. Why make it sound so nice?"

"Madam Ye is indeed clever." Shen Yifei didn't hide his thoughts. "But don't worry, I won't let you die too painfully. I will refine you into a top-grade soul pill. At that time, you and your son will become one, which can be considered a reunion in another form."

Upon hearing the words "merge into one," Su Yunzhao completely broke down. "Shen Yifei! You'll die a horrible death! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"Become a ghost? Madam Ye, that's not right. If you become a Soul Pill, you won't even be able to become a ghost."

"Sect Master Shen..." Su Yunzhao suddenly changed her tone, her voice soft and sweet, "This concubine knows she was wrong. I beg you to be magnanimous and spare my life. Whatever you want, this concubine will give you..."

Looking at the face that bore a resemblance to Feng Qingyin, Shen Yifei had to admit that this woman was indeed quite attractive.

It's a pity. I killed her husband and crippled her son. There's no way I can let her live.

However, we can't let her off so easily.

Shen Yifei chuckled and said, "What can you give me? Tell me."

When Su Yunzhao saw that Shen Yifei had relented, her captivating phoenix eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she twisted her waist.

If it weren't for the restrictions in the alchemy furnace, Shen Yifei estimated that if she twisted around a couple of times, she could have wrapped herself around him.

"Whatever Sect Master Shen desires, I can provide. If Sect Master Shen likes... likes my appearance, I am willing to offer it up as well."

"Madam Ye, you're overthinking it. While I may be a womanizer, you're an old woman who's had children; I'm not into that sort of thing!"

Su Yunzhao's smile froze; she hadn't expected Shen Yifei to reject her with such a reason.

But she was quick-witted and immediately put on a pitiful look.

"Sect Leader Shen, although I have given birth, I take good care of myself, and my skin is no worse than that of teenage girls. Besides, mature women have a mature charm; how will you know it's not good if you don't try?"

"Hmm... your suggestion..." Shen Yifei pretended to be thinking seriously.

Seeing an opportunity, Su Yunzhao said, "Sect Leader Shen, my skills in bed... you can try them... those young girls don't know anything about these things. You only need to try me once..."

When Su Yunzhao spoke, her voice was soft and sweet, and her phoenix eyes seemed to hold two hooks, almost stealing Shen Yifei's soul.

Shen Yifei knew that if they continued talking, he might actually be swayed by this woman's words.

Su Yunzhao was indeed quite skilled; even the tone of his voice possessed an indescribable charm. If…

Shen Yifei dared not think any further.

"Madam Ye, you... um... let me think. I've removed the restrictions on you these past few days. If you behave well here, I might be able to let you go if I soften my stance."

Having said that, he removed the restrictions on Su Yunzhao with a thought.

The moment Su Yunzhao felt the restriction disappear, the tension in her heart finally eased a little, and she saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Sect Leader Shen, how about now..."

Shen Yifei quickly removed the alchemy furnace. "Madam Ye, relax. I hope you'll look different when I see you again!"
