Yan Tianhen had some lingering fear. When he looked at Lin Xuanzhi again, all the resentment in his eyes was replaced with worry instead.

　　“Why does she want to kill us?” Yan Tianhen asked.

　　“Mainly because she doesn’t want to split the benefits within this Pill Limit Mysterious Land with too many people.”

　　Duan Yuyang angrily exclaimed, “Too hateful, honourable me really wants to kill this vicious woman!”

　　“If you kill her, no one will be able to obtain those benefits.” Lin Xuanzhi responded mildly.

　　Duan Yuyang rolled his eyes. “Honourable me is merely saying that.”

　　“Then what exactly are the so-called benefits?” Yuan Tianwen asked.

　　“There are quite a lot of benefits. However, I only need a celestial-level pill and the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire.”

　　Yuan Tianwen and Duan Yuyang both sucked in a cold breath of air at the same time. That the Mysterious Land had a celestial-level pill was still considered normal, but it also had the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire that was ranked ninth in the alchemist world?

　　Yan Tianhen’s eyes lit up. “I heard Daddy mention this kind of fire before. This is a heavenly flame that alchemists yearn for in their dreams! One can become a great alchemist, second to none, if one refined that flame!”

　　Duan Yuyang squinted his eyes at looked at Yan Tianhen with a complicated expression. His gaze ultimately fell on Lin Xuanzhi.

　　Duan Yuyang spoke to Lin Xuanzhi with profound meaning, “The books that my mother left behind also introduced this kind of Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire.”

　　Lin Xuanzhi met his gaze directly and asked lightly, “What did those records say about it?”

　　“The biggest use of the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire is not to refine pills, but to nourish the soul.”

　　Yan Tianhen clearly hadn’t heard of this use before, so he asked curiously, “What does ‘nourish the soul’ mean?”

　　Duan Yuyang explained, “Humans have past lives in addition to their present life. If they’re missing a soul in their past life, then their souls will also be incomplete in their current life. If someone wants to be whole, then they must have the entire three Yang souls and seven Yin souls; this Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire can take the place of a soul. That person can also take the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire out again after they find their missing soul and refine the flame.”

　　Lin Xuanzhi gazed at Duan Yuyang, indicating that this was an important matter that should be kept a secret. “It’s the same as what I know.”

　　Yuan Tianwen shook his head. “Sounds so miraculous, I’ve never heard of this before.”

　　Yan Tianhen asked foolishly, “So, who’s missing a soul?”

　　Duan Yuyang slapped him on the forehead. “Are you a fool? Who else can it be besides you?”

　　Yan Tianhen was dumbstruck, his appearance quite adorable. With his mouth open in shock, he pointed his finger at the tip of his nose, “Me?”

　　In their past life, just before Yan Tianhen died, he told Lin Xuanzhi, “Living is too exhausting. Dage, I don’t want a next life. In the next life…let’s not meet again either.”

　　After saying that, he used demonic arts, attempting to shatter his own three Yang souls and seven Yin souls so that he may never again enter the cycle of reincarnation, but Lin Xuanzhi figured out his intention and exhausted all his Qi to oppose the fate Yan Tianhen decided for himself.

　　However, Lin Xuanzhi only managed to save two Yang souls and six Yin souls.

　　The remaining one Yang and one Yin soul disintegrated without exception; n.o.body knew where they dissipated to.

　　In this life, Yan Tianhen was missing one Yang and one Yin soul.

　　Thus, his body’s cold attribute was even more p.r.o.nounced and extreme than his last life’s. The Divine Devil bloodline within his body that didn’t wake up even until the very end in his previous life now showed signs of awakening in this life.

　　Missing one Yang and one Yin soul meant that his soul was no longer complete, he would always be haunted by matters from the past life when dreaming.

　　For the time being, although this condition didn’t severely affect Yan Tianhen’s body, the consequences brought about by the missing souls would quickly appear with the improvement in Yan Tianhen’s cultivation.

　　Lin Xuanzhi chased after the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire in his previous life, but Shen Changgeng ultimately obtained it.

　　In this life, no matter what he needed to give up to exchange for it, he still wouldn’t hesitate.

　　Duan Yuyang was still immersed in the sorrowful news of Yan Tianhen pitifully missing a soul, unable to extricate himself, but when he turned to look, Yan Tianhen was already proceeding to continue applying medicine for Lin Xuanzhi.

　　Duan Yuyang, “….”

　　He really wanted to slap the ointment out of Yan Tianhen’s hands. “You’re missing a soul, how can you not care about such monumental news?”

　　Yan Tianhen raised his head and looked at Duan Yuyang with a pair of bright and clean eyes. “I can’t do anything about it even if I do care. Besides, why should I worry when Dage is worrying about it for me? Dage’s condition is top priority right now.”

　　Duan Yuyang was immediately exasperated. “You’re really a model younger brother. Have you forgotten the time when he made you angry?”

　　Yan Tianhen blinked as he replied, “Beating is affection, scolding is love, and if you love even more then just kick them with your feet.”

　　Duan Yuyang was suddenly stupefied. “Where did you hear such nonsense?”

　　“My Dad said it before.” Yan Tianhen said as he carefully applied medicine to Lin Xuanzhi.

　　Duan Yuyang, “…”

　　Wan Linghua’s ointment worked quite well. Not long after smearing it onto the wounds, Lin Xuanzhi’s injuries no longer bled. Yan Tianhen tore some soft and clean inner garments and bandaged his wounds.

　　Duan Yuyang looked at his adept movements and couldn’t help clicking his tongue, “Your work looks quite nice.”

　　“Of course.” Yan Tianhen said proudly, “Practice makes perfect!”

　　“You used to get hurt all the time?” Duan Yuyang’s heart suddenly hurt.

　　“Yeah.” Yan Tianhen nodded and replied with a bitter expression on his small face, “When I was a child, I especially liked climbing up and down. Once, I went to the top of a tree to dig out a bird’s nest, but the bird found me. It pecked me and made me fall from the tree, and even the skin on my legs broke from the fall. It hurt a lot!”

　　Duan Yuyang, “….”

　　d.a.m.n it, I actually felt sorry for you, why don’t you just keep hurting!
