Chapter 1114: Chapter 438: Overbearing and Greedy, Rumors Mislead Me! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

"Dan Chenzi, can you truly refine this pill?"

"This is a Third Order Elixir. Even though the requirements for Pill Refinement Technique are not that harsh, we have very little room for error."

"You need to give us a definitive answer, otherwise, if after all our years of hard preparation you cannot produce the Nether Origin Pill, all our efforts would be wasted."

Facing the intense scrutiny of the crowd.

Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

Yet in his heart, he let out a cold laugh.

No wonder these four could come together!

Lady You Sha provided the Pill Formula, Rogue Cultivator Xiao controlled the most crucial main ingredient, the Blue Thunder Flower, He Lianyun had the Lianyun Business Union’s resources, not only for preparing most of the basic auxiliary materials but also for being the local bigwig in the Yu Ding Realm.

The other three, also through He Lianyun, were able to reach out to him, Luo Chen.

Lastly, it was Fu Jiusheng who had a stranglehold on the main ingredient, the Nine-patterned Snake Drool Fruit.

He knew where it was, but chose not to say beforehand.

Thus, even if Luo Chen had the complete Pill Formula for the Nether Origin Pill, he could not proceed with its refinement.

As for how the four people managed to connect step by step?

It must have involved many twists and turns and a lot of stories.

But that was not of much significance to him anymore; he could not be bothered to delve into those stories.

Right now, what he was considering was not how to refine the pill.

With his exceptionally solid, even terrifyingly so, Pill Refinement foundation, combined with the high Accomplishment Points stored in the System, entering the gateway to refining this pill was not difficult.

In other words, as long as he had at least ten portions of the raw materials, he could definitely produce a batch of Nether Origin Pills!

He was thinking about matters other than the elixir.

These four people had come together in advance; had they reached a private agreement?

After the pill was completed, would there be disturbances among them, or would they join forces against him?

Also, the area where the Nine-patterned Snake Drool Fruit grows, as mentioned by Fu Jiusheng, was quite dangerous. But how dangerous could it actually be?

As Luo Chen remained silent longer, the hearts of He Lianyun and the others grew more anxious.

They had seen him be so confident before.

How had he become hesitant now when it came to giving a definitive answer?

Could it be that he was not capable?

Just as the four grew more and more restless.

After a long moment of contemplation, Luo Chen finally spoke.

"This pill, I can refine!"

Before the four could rejoice.

He immediately countered, "How exactly will our cooperation work? Have you decided on that? After the pill is formed, how will it be distributed? We are neither fellow disciples nor friends, so how can I ensure my safety during the pill refinement process? You all need to clarify this!"

Regarding these three questions.

The others seemed well-prepared.

Fu Jiusheng immediately said, "The cooperation is simple; as Herb Harvesters, we do not trust outsiders. When the time comes, no one can bring friends or family, sect disciples, and I will personally lead you to the site where the Nine-patterned Snake Drool Fruit grows, and it can only be the five of us!"

This answer did not surprise Luo Chen.

No one else had any objections either.

He Lianyun took over the conversation, "As for the last question, I have a proposal. That is, before the pill is completed, everyone must ensure Dan Chenzi’s safety within their capabilities!"

"I second that!"

"I second that!"

"I second that!"

"I disagree." Luo Chen suddenly spoke.

The four were stunned.

Luo Chen scoffed, "Words alone are weak; how can I trust you?"

"Umm..."

"Yet you are not willing to take an Oath of Dao; how then should we gain your trust?"

"Simple!" Luo Chen immediately took out a Jade Slip, to the curiosity of the four, "Though not taking an Oath of Dao, we can still establish a Blood Essence Contract."

A Blood Essence Contract!

Upon hearing these four words, everyone’s expression changed slightly.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, there are countless types of oaths and promises.

The most well-known are the Oath of Dao related to the soul as well as verbal promises.

Moreover, there are various contracts generated using magical instruments.

Among these, Blood Essence Contracts are quite famous.

Such contracts may seem to have a weaker binding force than the Oath of Dao, but in practice, they are often the preferred choice by many.

After all, the Oath of Dao is abstract and elusive.

If an enemy decides to break the agreement, even at the cost of cutting off their future path to immortality, the individual who took the oath has no recourse.

One facing immediate death, the other merely ending their path but still living for decades or centuries; the Oath of Dao is just that, nothing more!

The Blood Essence Contract is different.

Cultivators drop a bead of Blood Essence, condensed with Spirit Power and vitality, to make the oath.

Should there be any violators, they will suffer immediate repercussions.

Though the backlash might not be very severe.

At critical moments, this slight backlash is sufficient to alert others, or even to gain an advantage.

Lady You Sha forced a smile and said, "As cultivators, the amount of Essence Blood we have is already limited, and currently, we are at a crucial juncture near Core Formation. Establishing an oath with Blood Essence, isn’t it too affecting to one’s cultivation level?"

Luo Chen glanced at her, "Gathering medical ingredients and allowing me to study the pill formula, familiarizing myself with the Nether Origin Pill refinement, is also going to take several years. This time is enough for you to replenish the blood you would lose. Could it be that you harbor ill intentions towards me? Or perhaps, you do not desire the Core Formation Spirit Pill anymore?"

"If that’s the case, I might have to re-evaluate this cooperation."

The initial words were reasonable and justified.

The latter two questions, however, were somewhat heart-striking.

"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"

Lady You Sha paled and waved her hands repeatedly.

"How could I ever harbor ill intentions toward the Fire Spirit Lord."

"Humph!"
