"You succeeded?" Xiang Yun couldn't help but ask curiously. Lin Jin nodded. "You can say that."
Xiang Yun was both shocked and perplexed.
However, Lin Jin didn't intend to explain the key details to her. After all, she only needed to know the result.
Coincidentally, there was some movement from Huo Yuan's side. The flames that were swirling around him dissipated and Huo Yuan opened his eyes. By then, the weakened and deathly aura on him had completely disappeared. Instead, the aura of a True Immortal reverberated once more.
However, Monk Huo Yuan's missing arm did not grow back.
Xiang Yun quickly bowed. After all, Huo Yuan was a famous fire-cultivating true immortal. Even if he had committed some atrocious deeds, his seniority was still there.
"Master Huo Yuan, you're a true immortal expert. Even if you want to mend your arm, it shouldn't be a difficult task." Xiang Yun looked at Huo Yuan's missing arm in confusion.
Indeed, when one reached the True Immortal Realm, one would be able to recover even if one's body was damaged, let alone losing an arm.
This was especially true for a fire-cultivating true immortal like Huo Yuan. His entire body could be engulfed in flames.
How could the flames be missing when they were reignited?
On the other side, Huo Yuan smiled. "I purposely lost an arm so that I would remember the consequences of this incident and remind myself of it."
Xiang Yun nodded in understanding and a look of respect appeared on her face. Lin Jin shook his head helplessly, thinking that Huo Yuan was up to something like this. But then again, when he read wuxia novels, didn't the northern beggar Hong Qigong cut off his own finger to wake himself up?
Huo Yuan could only say that this was an epiphany for Huo Yuan. And for immortals like him, the higher their cultivation, the more they would gain from that epiphany.
"I saw your pellet furnace and that protective spell. Are you a disciple of Northern Qi's alchemy school?" Huo Yuan asked Xiang Yun.
Stunned, the latter nodded. "Master Huo Yuan, you have a good eye. You still remember Northern Qi's alchemy school."
There was a hint of sadness and nostalgia in his voice.
"Of course I remember. Five hundred years ago, it was considered a decent Immortal Sect even in this foreign land. Their alchemy skills were even more famous. It was said that the Sect Master of the Alchemy School, Mister Bei Qi, had inherited his alchemy skills from Patriarch Dan Hong. When Fire Source Monk said this, Xiang Yun's eyes shone brightly, it was a kind of pride.
"However, three hundred years ago, Mister Northern Qi's whereabouts were unknown. The Northern Qi Alchemy School declined and disappeared from the Jianghu …" Just as Huo Yuan said this, Xiang Yun suddenly said, "Mister Northern Qi's whereabouts were not unknown. He was harmed by Immortal Lord Meng. The Northern Qi Alchemy School was also destroyed by Immortal Lord Meng. Most of the Alchemy School's disciples died at the hands of this Immortal Thief. Only one person survived."
As she spoke, Xiang Yun clenched her fists tightly and even gritted her teeth, and she emanated an extremely dense hatred.
Huo Yuan and Lin Jin could tell that Xiang Yun was probably the only surviving disciple of Northern Qi's alchemy school.
At that moment, Xiang Yun bowed at Lin Jin and Huo Yuan.
"I am Xiang Yun of Northern Qi. Thank you for saving my life. I can tell that both of you have a grudge against Immortal Lord Meng. If you're willing to seek revenge, I'm willing to lend you my strength."
The thought of seeking revenge against Immortal Lord Meng had crossed Lin Jin's mind before. However, Immortal Lord Meng had many tricks up his sleeves. When he fought Huo Yuan, he had used the spirit devouring ghost insect. But who could say that was his only trump card?
Hence, if one wasn't strong enough, seeking revenge against Immortal Lord Meng would be suicide.
Lin Jin didn't say this out loud, but Huo Yuan did.
"Revenge? Easier said than done." Huo Yuan shook his head. "I've known that Immortal Lord Meng for more than a thousand years. This man's methods are flawless and no matter what he does, he's always thorough. To achieve his goals, he's unscrupulous and ruthless. Of course, that's nothing compared to the last point. The last point is that Immortal Lord Meng's cultivation level is extremely high, far higher than mine."
As he spoke, Huo Yuan shook his head.
"This time, Immortal Lord Meng left me and Old Monster Xu alone. Soon, Xuan Dao Sect's Spiritual Master Miao Yan arrived and I had no choice but to fight him. It was then that I realized I'd fallen into Immortal Lord Meng's trap. I had to resort to some tricks to escape. After all, Spiritual Master Miao Yan was too powerful and I couldn't afford to offend him. But if I wanted to escape, he might not be able to stop me. After that, I went to look for Immortal Lord Meng and made it clear to him that I wouldn't get involved in his affairs anymore. Who knew that Immortal Lord Meng would suddenly plot against me. Now, it seems like this was all part of his plan. He wanted to deal with me for a long time … But why? I don't understand. "
Huo Yuan rubbed his bald head with a hint of doubt.
However, Huo Yuan had poured a bucket of cold water on Xiang Yun's desire to seek revenge.
Simply put, even if the three of them worked together, they weren't confident in defeating Immortal Lord Meng. Or rather, it was impossible.
It was because they understood him that they were so sure.
In short, they wanted revenge too, but they couldn't defeat him.
Xiang Yun of Northern Qi could tell that she had placed her last hope on Lin Jin. Perhaps before, she didn't have much hope for the mortal level Lin Jin, but after seeing with her own eyes that Lin Jin had used a strange blood clone to refine the spirit-swallowing ghost bug, this "contempt" disappeared without a trace.
With the spirit devourer ghost bug, Lin Jin was qualified to fight a true immortal.
Hence, if Lin Jin was willing to help her, that would be a good thing. More importantly, Lin Jin had saved Huo Yuan's life. Hence, as long as Lin Jin was willing to help, Huo Yuan would most likely help.
However, Lin Jin shook his head. "It's too early to talk about revenge now."
That 'too early' was a foregone conclusion.
Xiang Yun was utterly disappointed. She knew very well that even if she managed to find Immortal Lord Meng, she wouldn't be his match. She couldn't even defeat the immortal slaves under Immortal Lord Meng's control.
Lin Jin didn't pay any more attention to Xiang Yun. He had just refined the spirit devourer ghost bug. Seeing that Huo Yuan had recovered, he decided to settle another more important matter.
And that was the nine suns crystal.
Now that the ghost blood beast and spirit devourer ghost bug couldn't evolve anymore, Xiao Huo was Lin Jin's only hope for a Rank 9 pet beast.
The nine suns crystal was something he had to get his hands on.
When Lin Jin asked, Huo Yuan laughed. "I don't have anything else, but I can give you as many nine suns crystals as you want!"
