“The soul fused with the body, making the soul power stimulate it into returning some of its youth. The price is the soul scattering.”
“Without a soul, you become a walking corpse to be controlled through the Redolent race’s secret skill.”
“Who are the Redolent race?”
“An infamous race of aliens. Redolent race chose to call themselves that, when their true name is far more fitting, Reeking race.”
“Bro Mo, can we save her?”
“She didn’t have too high a dose of Soul Scattering Pill and some parts of her soul remained. Use light qi on her and she should awaken in half a month’s time.
“But I have to warn you. Even if she wakes up, none of her memories will return.”
“Anything is better than living like this. I wanted to send her to her family, but I don’t even know where she lives.”
Li Mo gave the All-defending Immortal robe to Du Fei, who put it on and radiated colorful light all around.
Li Mo smiled, “You were fated for these immortal items.”
“Don’t mention fate. My head is still in pain. I’m just going back and heal her.”
Du Fei left with Madam Ning on his back.
“Just as I thought, Thunderstruck Enterprise is in cahoots with Redolent race.”
The items he got from Lei Tian corroborated his suspicion.
Lei Tian had a twenty centimeters round jade stick, a palm-sized star stone, the vial with Mystical Firebird, a fire crystal, and a bunch of credit cards.
The jade stick was Redolent race’s tool to control the living zombies. One needed but wave it before a zombie and it’d do all the owner said.
Li Mo shook the palm-sized star rock.
It was the same material that made his Star Ring. Just that Lei Tian’s method was so crude it turned such a large stone into a storage ring of one square meter.
Li Mo emptied it of all the books and pills it held.
Fire Manipulation Art, Qi Refining Art, Body Tempering Art
 and many more.
But to Li Mo, they were a letdown. Any normal cultivator would’ve leaped in joy from all these ancient arts. He, however, found these worthless. The cultivation methods he knew were many times stronger.
As for pills, crude was putting it mildly.
“This is
”
A reddish metal caught his eye.
“Scarlet gold!”
“Such a big piece is enough for a flying sword.”
In making magical weapons, ordinary materials wouldn’t cut it. They had no spirituality. Only scarlet gold, blue silver, black iron, and other special items were effective.
Li Mo cleaned out his Star Ring and started refining the star stone into the ring.
A flash appeared not much later and its quality jumped a hundred times over.
Next came refining a flying sword.
The process was a lengthy one. For three days, Li Mo was cooped up in his study and focused on the task at hand.
The end result was a palm-sized flying sword. Very light, and could be hidden in one’s sleeves or pockets. Once it was unleashed the user could use spiritual qi to power it up.
“Li Mo, open up! Hurry!”
Li Mo was ready to give the flying sword a test run but the shouting outside the house made it difficult.
No point in looking when the voice easily distinguished the owner, Yang Hongying.
Li Mo walked over.
“Open up and let me in already.” Yang Hongying was quite jittery.
“You can say what you have to say from there.”
With the three demons and Ye Xiaolu in the living room, Li Mo didn’t feel like hiding them, so he didn’t let Ye Xiaolu in.
“Does your promise still stands?”
“Of course.”
“Then bring out the soul item and I’ll give you the Dao Comprehending Tea tree!”
“You brought it?”
“Of course, so you better not regret it now.”
She took out the Dao Comprehending Tea tree.
It was barely ten centimeters tall, without even a leaf on it. Its branches were dried up and it was more fitting to say it was more dead than alive.
Yang Hongying yelled, “Don’t you go back on your word!”
Li Mo understood.

The Yang clan ended up with a dead Dao Comprehending Tea tree and using it to get a soul item couldn’t be better. The dead tree was useless while a soul item had immense benefits.
“Miss Yang, aren’t you a bit vicious?”
“What vicious? You were the one who brought up the exchange.” Yang Hongying quibbled.
“Now you can’t refuse.”
Yang Hongying pushed the tree onto Li Mo.
“In a moment. I will bring the soul item shortly.”
Li Mo entered the house.
“How can you be so mean to not even invite me in?” Yang Hongying shouted her complaints.
Li Mo returned in his study with the tree and took out the soul item he refined from the Star Ring to give Yang Hongying.
“And what’s this supposed to be?”
Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.
Yang Hongying stared at the black iron egg with a blank look.
Li Mo gave it a spin. It looked no different than a large chicken egg, except it was black, and of iron. ‘What did it do?’
Yang Hongying took it and weighed it to be four kilograms.
“Is this made of iron?”
“Yep.”
“Is this the soul item?”
“Yep.”
“Liar!” Yang Hongying wailed.
She checked the egg with her soul power but she didn’t feel a thing from it.
“Enter this item with your soul when cultivating and you’ll improve twice as fast. Let it around an Underworld Grass or any yin plant, and supply it with soul power to make the plant bear fruit on the spot.”
“Before you ask me if it’s fake or real, go home and try it.”
Li Mo returned inside.
Yang Hongying held the egg skeptically.
“I will, but if I find it’s fake, I will beat you senseless!”
Yang Hongying left with gnashed teeth and a stomp in her gait.
In the study, Li Mo’s face bloomed with a smile at the sight of the dead Dao Comprehending Tea tree.
‘This was the best deal ever!’
This Dao Comprehending Tea tree may be dead to the Yang clan, but Li Mo had his ways to make it bloom again.
The Dao Comprehending Tea tree was also known as the Heavenly Dao Tea tree. Not only on Earth, but the entire universe considered it a rare treasure!
Yang Hongying went to her home in the Phoenix District and tried using the egg as Li Mo said.
Hum~
Yang Hongying felt her soul power clearly increasing.
“Ha-ha-ha, the best deal ever! Using a dead plant for two hundred years that can’t be revived no matter what for a true treasure is the best!” Yang Hongying laughed her glee for the world to hear.
