Chapter 594: The Method to Repair the Renhuang Banner
(I had a blackout from drinking yesterday...)
Looking at Ye Lin, whose hands were full of fatty intestines, Bai San's complexion turned green.
He had never seen such a brazen and shameless person!
Just because one has an immortal body, does that mean one can do whatever one wants?
"Oh my, Brother Bai San, don't be angry anymore. It wasn't like I intentionally sealed you for a thousand years; it was just a small accident."
Ye Lin's face was full of ingratiating smiles as he hugged Bai San and began to act spoiled.
"Cut the crap! You surnamed Ye, I won't believe a single word you say anymore. There isn't a word of truth in your beastly mouth!"
Bai San roared, his face full of grief and indignation.
Ban Muming had a hundred million soul bodies in the Renhuang Banner to keep him company, living a life like an emperor.
And him? He, Bai San, was sealed in the deepest part of the Renhuang Banner, in total darkness, only able to watch helplessly as Ban Muming played.
Was Ban Muming's life happy? No, the happiness of Ban Muming was something Bai San couldn't even imagine!
Bai San had endured this agonizing life for a thousand years! A full thousand years!
He counted the passage of time, and with every passing year, his hatred for Ye Lin grew by a fraction.
Accumulated until now, it had reached a bone-deep level.
Even if Bai San were to reincarnate countless times, he would remember this hatred in the depths of his consciousness, remember the pain he had suffered.
"Giving you face, are you?"
"Forbidden Spell: Nether Ghost Fire!"
Pitch-black flames burned fiercely, instantly landing on Bai San's body.
This fire, which was extremely yin and soft and specifically targeted soul bodies, instantly caused Bai San to let out a shrill scream.
But this time, Bai San did not choose to submit; instead, he glared at Ye Lin with scarlet eyes, clearly hating him to the extreme.
"If you have the ability, then burn me to death! Don't think I don't know why you let me out; you want to get something out of my mouth, right? I'm telling you, no way!" Bai San roared in pain.
"Oh, then go die."
Ye Lin shrugged calmly; he did not believe that Bai San truly had such firm willpower.
If Bai San were truly a tough nut to crack, he wouldn't have survived in his Renhuang Banner for so long.
Although Ye Lin could control Bai San's freedom, he could not control his life or death; Bai San was merely a soul body, and if he wanted to dissipate into the heavens and earth himself, Ye Lin could not stop him.
Even if Bai San really wanted to be stubborn to the end, losing one Bai San would be no loss to him.
The Nether Ghost Fire used Bai San's soul body as fuel, crackling as it burned.
After only a moment, Bai San's soul body approached complete transparency.
Yet Bai San still showed no intention of softening or begging for mercy.
Seeing this, Ye Lin calmly increased the power of the Nether Ghost Fire.
He was a person who prioritized respecting others; as long as someone wanted to seek death, Ye Lin would absolutely not stop them.
The suddenly surging Nether Ghost Fire instantly swallowed Bai San, and the caught-off-guard Bai San was almost burned away directly.
At this moment, some changes finally appeared on Bai San's face.
Ye Lin... seemed to really want to kill him!
The sedimentation of a thousand years of time made Bai San still somewhat unable to remember clearly just how cold-blooded the guy in front of him was.
But at this moment, Ye Lin finally made him remember.
"Wait... wait!"
Bai San suddenly spoke, but Ye Lin ignored him completely, only watching coldly as the black flames surged and burned.
At this moment, Bai San heard the call of his soul scattering.
"No! No! Don't!"
There was no more hatred on Bai San's face, only terror remained.
He had finally endured these thousand years of time; how could he be willing to die?
"Ye Lin, stop quickly, I am useful to you, stop!"
Bai San shouted excitedly, but Ye Lin still had no intention of moving at all.
Bai San's soul body had already melted under the burning of the ghost fire, and its outline could no longer even be seen; only a mass of distorted fluorescence could be seen.
And under the burning of the Nether Ghost Fire, this mass of fluorescence was becoming dim bit by bit, until it lost all its luster.
At the moment when Bai San's soul body was about to completely dissipate, Ye Lin withdrew the Nether Ghost Fire.
Afterward, he grabbed hundreds of soul bodies and fed them directly to Bai San.
After devouring the energy of the other soul bodies, Bai San finally crawled back from the brink of his soul scattering.
His weak soul body's face was full of terror; just a moment ago, he really was just a tiny bit away from his soul completely scattering.
"Brother Bai San, why are you so scared? How could I really kill you? You are so important to me; I was just playing a little joke on you~"
Ye Lin smiled and hugged Bai San's soul body.
But his smile looked as terrifying as a demon in Bai San's eyes.
He could feel Ye Lin's killing intent; just now, this guy really wanted to make his soul scatter!
"What exactly do you want?" Bai San was about to cry out.
The thing he regretted most in his life was cooperating with Ye Lin!
Not only did he get no benefits, but he also became a prisoner, having to be squeezed by Ye Lin from time to time.
"I don't want anything, I just want to ask you, how should I repair this Renhuang Banner of mine?" Ye Lin asked with a smile.
"This ten-thousand-soul... Renhuang Banner of yours is very difficult to repair; the degree of damage is too severe."
Bai San glanced at the Renhuang Banner, and his brows furrowed.
"The most convenient way is to find an Artifact Refiner to help you re-refine the entire banner once."
"Then how many soul bodies can be preserved?" Ye Lin asked in pursuit.
"At most... half."
Bai San stated a number that Ye Lin could not accept at all.
"Then what if I want to repair the Renhuang Banner and also want all the soul bodies inside to be preserved?" Ye Lin continued to ask.
"Then... there might only be one way left." A look of recollection appeared in Bai San's eyes.
"What way?"
"Black Jade Heaven-Mending Paste!"
Bai San said in a deep voice.
"Black Jade Heaven-Mending Paste is known as something that can mend anything; whether it is repairing spiritual treasures and magical artifacts or healing injuries, it is a peerless immortal-grade item."
"If you can find Black Jade Heaven-Mending Paste, first finish repairing the Renhuang Banner, and then add strengthening materials and rare metals at the same time, you will be able to preserve all the soul bodies inside while strengthening the Renhuang Banner."
Hearing this, Ye Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; he was not afraid of the method being difficult, he was only afraid of there being no way.
"Then where can I get this Black Jade Heaven-Mending Paste?"
"I don't know either; I have been away from the Longevity Continent for too long. The information I told you is all from many years ago, and it might not necessarily still be accurate now." Bai San shook his head.
"Alright then."
Ye Lin did not force it; knowing the name Black Jade Heaven-Mending Paste, he could ask the locals of the Longevity Continent.
Afterward, he had Bai San list other materials needed to strengthen the Renhuang Banner for him.
His primary goal now was to earn Immortal Source Stones.
His secondary goal was clearly to do his utmost to repair the Renhuang Banner.
"By the way, there is one thing I must remind you of." Bai San suddenly spoke up.
"What thing?"
"That banner... don't use it in front of others, otherwise... you will likely be hunted down by all the righteous sects of the entire Longevity Continent."
