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

Shen Yifei left the alchemy room and let out a long sigh of relief.

Su Yunzhao is indeed a shrewd woman. Even though she's in such a predicament, she can still make him feel incredibly aroused. If he hadn't had enough self-control, he might have actually fallen for her tricks.

"Master, are you going to release her?" Liu Mengli floated to his side, looking at him with suspicion.

"Release her? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Shen Yifei chuckled. "This woman's mind is full of ideas on how to seduce me, thinking of using her body to exchange for my life. I need to lower her guard, and once her mind is completely relaxed, I'll refine her and Ye Wuhen together. Think about it, if she keeps resisting, the quality of the soul pills we refine will definitely be greatly reduced."

After listening, Liu Mengli clicked her tongue twice. "Master, you're really ruthless. You clearly intend to refine people into pills, yet you give them a chance to live, only for them to die without even knowing how they died."

"This is called 'all's fair in war.' Think about it, if she were willingly refined by me, would the quality of the soul pill be the same?"

Liu Mengli thought about it and agreed. That woman really deserved to die. Back when Ye Qianqiu besieged the Tianyan Sect, she must have contributed a lot. Now that she's in Shen Yifei's hands, it's a fitting retribution.

Shen Yifei called Xinghe over, "Xinghe, do you know how to refine Soul Pills?"

Xinghe shook her head. "Brother, I only know that Soul Pills exist, but the medical books don't explain how to refine them."

"Ah Bao, Ah Bao..."

Ah Bao also knew where to hide. Last time, Shen Yifei fed him the Soul Cleansing Grass, which scared him so much that he didn't dare to show his face.

Now that he heard that Shen Yifei was going to see him, he no longer dared to hide.

"Master, what...what are your orders?"

Shen Yifei didn't hold the previous matter against him. After all, the Soul Cleansing Grass was really too powerful. A Bao's soul might not even be enough to fill its teeth.

"Ah Bao, do you know how to refine a Soul Pill?"

Ah Bao shrank back, "Master, I... I'm just an outer-level Soul Envoy. How could I possibly know such a profound technique as refining Soul Pills? However... I have heard that among the eight Natal Soul Envoys, Jin Lian is the most skilled at refining Soul Pills."

"Jin Lian? Where is he? What is his cultivation level?"

"Master, Jin Lian ranks second among the eight Natal Soul Envoys, with a cultivation level at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage. He lives in a black stone palace on the east side of the Nether Abyss, where he is specifically responsible for refining Soul Pills for the Soul Devouring Demon God."

"Jin Lian lives in the Black Stone Palace on the east side of the Nether Abyss? How far is it from that old bastard, Soul Devourer?"

Abao quickly replied, "Not far, not far at all. It's just outside the Netherworld. The Black Stone Palace is Jin Lian's lair. He usually spends most of his time there refining Soul Pills and rarely goes out."

Shen Yifei narrowed his eyes, already plotting how to trick Jin Lian into coming over. A Soul Envoy at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage couldn't be won over by head-on confrontation; he'd have to use some tricks.

"Master, you wouldn't be thinking..." Abao's voice trembled slightly, "That's the second most formidable character among the eight Natal Soul Envoys, with a peak Tribulation Transcending cultivation level, second only to the eldest, Heavenly Demon, and even more troublesome than Black Soul and White Fiend combined."

"What's there to be afraid of? Wasn't Black Soul and White Fiend completely absorbed by the Soul Cleansing Grass? It can even absorb Soul Envoys in the late stage of Tribulation Transcending, so... a few more breaths should be enough to take care of them, right?"

Abao shrank his neck. "Master, although the Soul Cleansing Grass is powerful, Jin Lian has a magic weapon called the 'Soul Locking Bell,' which is specifically designed to counter attacks that target the soul. The Soul Cleansing Grass's suction power probably won't be very effective against him."

"The Soul-Locking Bell?" Shen Yifei frowned. "What's the background of that thing?"

"It is said to be a magical artifact personally crafted by the Soul-Devouring Demon God, capable of locking down all soul fluctuations within a hundred feet. For the Soul-Purifying Grass to absorb his soul, it must first break through the Soul-Locking Bell's seal. However, the Soul-Locking Bell's defense is extremely strong, and it cannot be broken by ordinary means."

"The Soul-Locking Bell sounds rather troublesome..."

Shen Yifei fell into deep thought. This Golden Refined Soul was indeed much more troublesome than the Black Soul and White Fiend. With the Soul-Locking Bell protecting him, the Soul-Purifying Grass technique was ineffective, so he could only look for a breakthrough elsewhere.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Abao, what do you think Jin Lian's hobbies are? Like... being a womanizer? Being greedy? Or does he have some other quirks?"

Abao thought for a moment, then replied, "Master, that guy Jin Lian... well... he does have a hobby. He especially likes collecting the souls of beautiful women, particularly the souls of female cultivators who are highly skilled and beautiful. One of the soul pills he refines is called 'Beauty Soul,' which is made primarily from the souls of beautiful female cultivators. It's said that the taste is quite different..."

"The soul of a beauty? What use would that be to him if he ate it?"

Ah Bao chuckled, "Master, you don't understand. Jin Lian's 'Beauty Soul' is not only delicious, but it also greatly nourishes the soul. It's said that eating one is more effective than ten years of arduous cultivation, so he's ruined quite a few beautiful female cultivators over the years."

"Hmph! This old bastard knows how to enjoy himself. Since he likes beautiful women, I'll give him a stunning beauty."

Abao was taken aback. "Master, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

After saying that, he looked at Liu Mengli and Xinghe beside him!

"What the hell are you thinking? You think you can give my woman away to someone else?"

"Master, what do you want...?"

"I'll do it myself! Mengli, come and dress me up!"

"What? Master, you want to pretend to be a woman? You're a grown man... Jin Lian, he's seen countless women, wouldn't he see through it at a glance?" A Bao thought Shen Yifei was being a bit far-fetched.

Liu Mengli was already doubled over laughing beside her. "Oh my, Master, you're going to pretend to be a woman? Hahahaha... with your big, burly appearance..."

"Mengli, what's so rough about me? Look at my smooth, delicate skin; with a little grooming, I wouldn't look bad at all!"

"Master, you've never even worn a skirt before. How do you walk and talk like a woman? You know all these things?"

Shen Yifei was unconvinced, so he stood by the lake with his hands on his hips and looked at his reflection in the water.

His face is not bad; his eyebrows and eyes are well-proportioned, his nose is straight, and although his skin is not fair, it is not dark either.

If you put some powder on your face, draw your eyebrows, and change into women's clothing, you might actually be able to fool people.

"Mengli, you don't know anything. I call this a combination of strength and gentleness, and gentleness and strength. That old rogue Jin Lian is probably tired of all those ordinary women, and finds me quite special."

Liu Mengli wiped away the tears of laughter. "Alright, alright, if you want to dress up as a woman, then I'll help you get ready. But let me warn you, if you give yourself away, don't blame me for not warning you."

"We won't give ourselves away." Shen Yifei waved his hand. "Abao, come here!"

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and smell the scents of all the women inside the cauldron, then spray them all over me later. Jin Lian might not like any of them!"

"Yes, Master, I'll go right away!" With that, Abao turned to leave.

"Wait," Shen Yifei called out to Abao again, "You can't go there. My wife is in seclusion cultivating. If you offend her, I can't protect you."
