“It succeeded?” asked Xiang Yun out of curiosity.

Lin Jin nodded and replied, “Yeah, something like that.”

Aside from shock, Xian Yun was confused.

However, Lin Jin didn’t plan on telling her the specifics. She only needed to know the outcome.

Just then, they got a reaction from Inferno Monk too. The flames that engulfed Inferno Monk disappeared and his eyes peeled open. The stale, dying air that enveloped his body was gone without a trace. In its place was the overbearing aura of a profound immortal.

The only issue here was the fact that Inferno Monk’s arm remained missing.

Xiang Yun saluted him at once as Inferno Monk was a renowned fire attribute profound immortal. Despite the unspeakable crimes he committed in the past, he was still her senior.

“Venerable Inferno, you are a profound immortal. I’m sure it wouldn’t be difficult for you to reconstruct your missing arm,” said Xiang Yun while looking at his stump.

Forget an arm, it wouldn’t even take much for a profound immortal to rebuild their entire body if it was lost in battle.

This was especially so for a fire attribute profound immortal like Inferno Monk who could turn his entire body into flames.

Since his flames were still burning, there should be nothing that was stopping him from regrowing an arm.

Inferno Monk smiled back at Xiang Yun.

“I intentionally left it so, to remind myself of this moment forever.”

Xiang Yun understood what he meant immediately, and a look of admiration surfaced in her eyes while Lin Jin shook his head helplessly.

He mused, ‘I didn’t think Inferno Monk would say something so cliche. Though, this makes sense too, because in the wuxia novels I’ve read, wasn’t there a glutton who chopped off his own fingers to remind himself of a particular incident?’

To Inferno Monk, this incident was a moment of epiphany. For immortals, the higher their cultivation level, the greater their enlightenment.

“I saw your furnace and the spell you performed to stabilize the furnace earlier. Are you a disciple of the Beiqi Pill Sect?” Inferno Monk asked Xiang Yun.

Stunned, she nodded. “You have keen eyes, Venerable Inferno. I’m surprised that you still remember the Beiqi Pill Sect.”

Her voice carried hints of sorrow and reminiscence.

“Of course I do! Even five hundred years ago, they were still a great sect here in the extraterritorial zone. They’re especially famous in pelletization. It is said that Mr. Beiqi learned the art of pelletization from his master, Patriarch Dan Hong, and they were the orthodox sect for the study of pelletization,” replied Inferno Monk.

Xiang Yun’s eyes glowed with pride as she listened to him speak.

“But, three hundred years ago, Mr. Beiqi went missing and the Beiqi Pill Sect went into a steep decline. At one point, they faded into obscurity…”

Halfway through Inferno Monk’s story, Xiang Yun interjected, “No, Mr. Beiqi didn’t go missing. He was attacked by Yan Shenjun. In fact, the Beiqi Pill Sect was destroyed by Yan Shenjun. Many of our disciples died in that fiend’s hands, and only one survived the ma.s.sacre.”

As she spoke, Xiang Yun’s fists were tightly clenched. It was clear from her tone of speech that she had an intense hatred for Yan Shenjun.

It didn’t take a genius to figure out that Xiang Yun was probably the lone survivor of the Beiqi Pill Sect.

Then, Xiang Yun bowed at Lin Jin and Inferno Monk.

“Beiqi’s Xiang Yun thanks both of you for saving my life. I can see that you two have a grudge against Yan Shenjun as well. If revenge is what you seek, I am more than willing to offer my a.s.sistance.”

Lin Jin did consider taking revenge on Yan Shenjun. However, that man had numerous cards up his sleeve. The last wild card he pulled was the spirit devouring ghost worm, which almost killed Inferno Monk. Who was to say he wouldn’t have more tricks to spare the next time they fought?

If one wasn’t capable enough, to challenge Yan Shenjun would just be courting death.

Inferno Monk was the first one to voice out his doubts.

“Revenge is easier said than done.” Inferno Monk shook his head. “I’ve known Yan Shenjun for more than a millenium and this person never leaves any openings. No matter what he does, everything is thoroughly planned, and every margin of error is eliminated. He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, but more importantly, Yan Shenjun’s cultivation is far above mine.”

Inferno Monk shook his head disappointedly.

“This time, Yan Shenjun left me and Old Monster Xu behind, and it didn’t take long for Miao Yan Zhenren to catch up to us. I had no choice but to fight him, but it was at that point that I realized, I was betrayed by Yan Shenjun. Miao Yan Zhenren was too powerful that I had to escape. After telling Yan Shenjun that I wouldn’t partic.i.p.ate in his plans anymore, he snuck an attack on me! It appears that he planned to deal with me eventually too… Though, I can’t figure out the reason why.”

Inferno Monk rubbed his head in confusion.

Inferno Monk’s rambling put out Xiang Yun’s desire for revenge.

Even if the three of them were to team up against Yan Shenjun, the chances of them winning were slim. It might even be an impossible endeavor.

Inferno Monk knew that well, and it was why he spoke so resolutely.

He wanted revenge too, but truth was a hard pill to swallow.

Xiang Yun was a sensible woman, so she placed her final hope on Lin Jin instead. Before this, her expectation toward the mortal was as low as the ground. However, after witnessing him using a bizarre clone to refine the spirit devouring ghost worm, her contempt toward him faded away.

Lin Jin who now possessed the ghost worms was worthy of fighting a profound immortal.

If Lin Jin was willing to help her, great! More importantly, Lin Jin was also the one who saved Inferno Monk from the jaws of death. If he decided to help her, Inferno Monk would have no choice but to join as well.

To her disappointment, Lin Jin shook his head.

“It’s too early for revenge right now.”

One sentence from Lin Jin, and the discussion ended there.

Xiang Yun was b.u.mmed out. She knew full well that even if she tracked down Yan Shenjun, she could never defeat him on her own. She couldn’t even win against the immortal servants he had control over.

Lin Jin didn’t pay Xiang Yun any attention. After refining the ghost worm and seeing Inferno Monk make a full recovery, he planned to proceed with something of greater importance.

The nine sun quartz.

Now that the blood ghost and ghost worm were evolutionarily stunted, Lin Jin’s only hope of obtaining a Rank 9 beast rested on Xiao Huo’s shoulders.

Obtaining the nine sun quartz was a must.

Right after Lin Jin asked, Inferno Monk laughed heartily. “I don’t have much on me, but if it’s a nine sun quartz that you seek, I have plenty to offer!”
