"I prefer the way you look when you wear a phoenix robe. It makes you look more noble."

"So Immortal Master likes this style …"

"Just tell me if you want to exchange or not."

"I'll be back soon."

Four hours later, Zhao Mu walked out of the palace feeling refreshed. He was lucky this time as he triggered the Thousandfold Reversal and obtained the results of a hundred years of cultivation for the Sacred Body of Crimson Sun. In a short while, he had refined all the power of the Emperor Yan's blood marrow in his body.

But then again, the Sacred Body was really difficult to cultivate.

Zhao Mu's Sacred Body had been growing for hundreds or thousands of years, but he had yet to reach the Great Attainment Sacred Body Realm.

As for the cultivation of the Human Emperor's bloodline, he was at his wits' end.

Even with the help of the system, Zhao Mu had no idea how to increase the strength of the Human Emperor's bloodline.

Could it be that he had to give blood to others?

But blood couldn't be given casually. The Human Emperor's bloodline was too strong, and ordinary people couldn't withstand such domineering strength.

"Boss, we've already searched Wang Xian's residence. He had opened up a very deep underground cave in the suburbs. There were children's skeletons all over the place. It was really tragic. I've already asked the butler to settle the funeral arrangements."

Ghost Toad came forward, took out a storage ring, and handed it to Zhao Mu. He said, "These are some of the things that Wang Xian left behind. Most of them are various materials for refining elixir pills, and they are all highly toxic. But there's one treasure that I'm not sure about, so I brought it back for you to take a look."

"What is it?" Zhao Mu took over the storage ring and asked.

The storage ring in Wang Xian's Nascent Soul was only something he left behind for his comeback. He definitely wouldn't have brought the other treasures with him. Hence, Zhao Mu got Ghost Toad to search it.

"It's an extremely strange alchemy furnace. Although its grade isn't high, its aura is very unique."

Zhao Mu frowned. "Don't tell me you brought back the alchemy furnace that he used to concoct children?"

"Boss, don't worry. I've checked it. This alchemy furnace wasn't used before. The one that Wang Xian used to concoct poison pills was another alchemy furnace, and I've already destroyed it."

Zhao Mu opened the storage ring. After a while, a black and shiny alchemy furnace that was half the height of a person appeared before Zhao Mu.

Grade 5 magical equipment.

It wasn't a good thing.

However, just as the Ghost Toad had said, the aura of this alchemy furnace was very special. It had an extremely ancient and mysterious feeling.

This alchemy furnace was not as simple as it looked on the surface.

Zhao Mu took out some Spiritual Herbs and used the Scarlet Flame Tyrant Scripture to heat up the furnace. Then, he threw the Spiritual Herbs in and started to refine the pills.

If there was anything fishy, he would know after refining some pills.

Alchemy was a process, and Zhao Mu's spiritual consciousness was locked onto the alchemy furnace.

Just as the pill was about to come out of the furnace, Zhao Mu caught a faint change in aura.

The moment the pill was formed, an unusual aura seemed to appear in the furnace and fuse with the pill, causing the pill's potency to increase by more than 20%.

"This alchemy furnace actually has an amplification effect on medicinal pills?"

Zhao Mu was slightly surprised.

Generally speaking, the quality of the alchemy furnace would only increase the success rate of refining pills. He had never heard that the alchemy furnace itself could affect the quality of the pills.

Moreover, Zhao Mu could vaguely sense that this amplification effect still had a lot of room for improvement.

"The blacksmith who forged this alchemy furnace is really interesting. He used the materials of a Grade 5 magical equipment to forge such a magical alchemy furnace. Could it be that he was deliberately hiding his strength?"

Zhao Mu unexpectedly received such an alchemy furnace. He was instantly overjoyed and rewarded the Ghost Toad with a bottle of poison pills.

The Ghost Toad was instantly grateful.

It was a poisonous creature among demons. The poison pills that Wang Xian left behind were quite valuable to it. They could help it to raise its strength to a new level.

"Ding! You have gifted the Ghost Toad a bottle of Grade 8 poison pill [Haunting Spirit]. You have triggered a reward of ten thousand times. You have received a Grade 1 treasure pill [Unlucky Pill]."

"Ding! The loyalty of the Ghost Toad has reached 100 points. It no longer occupies the binding quota."

Zhao Mu was speechless.

Why did it have to trigger Ten Thousand Times Refund at this moment?

If I had known earlier, I would have given him something better.

First-grade Supreme Elixir?

Should he say it? Since it was a Supreme Elixir, it should have some value.

After all, only Supreme Elixirs could be refined into Supreme Elixirs. The cost of refining a Supreme Elixir would definitely exceed a Supreme Elixir of the same grade.

Zhao Mu immediately checked the attributes of the Unlucky Elixir.

He could check the detailed attributes of the items in the system space directly.

[Unlucky Elixir: First-grade Supreme Elixir. After consumption, one would be plagued by bad luck for a year. However, most people would not be able to last until the day the effects of the elixir disappear.]

What a vicious elixir.

Who could withstand being unlucky for an entire year?

Zhao Mu would definitely not use it. However, using this elixir on the enemy would be an excellent means of revenge.

I'll keep my SP first.

"Junior Brother Zhao …"

Shi Rui's voice came from the room.

She had finally woken up.

Zhao Mu went to check on her and saw Shi Rui sitting on the bed. Her eyes were blank and she seemed to be in a daze.

Did the poison invade her brain and damage her nerves?

"Senior Sister, are you feeling okay?" Zhao Mu asked.

Shi Rui sighed softly. "I've been looking forward to meeting a Dao partner who treats me sincerely. I want to be with him and cultivate immortality hand in hand to seek immortality. However, I didn't expect you to … Sigh."

"Senior Sister, you can't blackmail me. I have a written agreement with you."

Zhao Mu was really worried that this Senior Sister Shi would bite him back.

Shi Rui shook her head, "I am an unreasonable person. I just found it hard to believe for a while. Forget it. Anyway, this time you helped me and the entire Zhou Empire. I still have to thank you."

"Cough cough. Actually, Zhou Nation is already gone," Zhao Mu said.

Shi Rui lifted her head and looked at Zhao Mu with a shocked expression.

"Junior Brother, you didn't defeat that evil cultivator?"

"Wang Xian was indeed killed by me. However … Zhou Nation will be annexed by Zhao Nation. From now on, there will be no more Zhou Nation, only Zhao Nation."

"This … Does my sister know?"

"She was the one who helped me. She's right next door. If you regain your mobility, you can ask her about it. But for now, it's best not to disturb her."

After all, Shi Man was only at the Qi Refinement stage and her recovery ability was not that strong. She still needed to rest for half a day.

Sister is sleeping next door?

Shi Rui's expression suddenly became strange.

She stared at Zhao Mu, gritted her teeth and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, if I find out that you bullied my sister, I … I won't let you off!"

"Senior Sister, you think too much. I, Zhao Mu, am not that kind of person."

It was Shi Man who begged me to bully her. I was just doing it out of goodwill.

However, he could not let Shi Rui know about this for the time being. Otherwise, with her temper, she would probably fight to the death with Zhao Mu.

He had to tell Shi Mantong to keep her mouth shut when he got back.

It shouldn't be difficult. After all, Shi Man's favorability towards him had already reached 90 points. She probably didn't even have such a high favorability towards Shi Rui.
