The first body was just to gain Lu Ti Xi Ya's trust; it didn't necessarily have to be hers, as long as it was something she was familiar with and approved of. The jumping rabbit was small in size, and it could save some materials.

However, this idea was quickly shattered. Silver Coin brought over the jumping rabbit that was exactly the same as her pet. Lu Ti Xi Ya stared at it for a long time, and then pulled out one of her own hairs: "Do it again."

"Ah? Don't, okay? Doing it once is very expensive, and our materials are only enough to do it two more times." Silver Coin said, displeased.

Lu Ti Xi Ya let out a sigh of relief, but said very firmly: "Do it again, make my body. I can pay twice the price, 40 million magic crystals."

"Hiss—" Silver Coin felt his teeth ache a bit. It was the first time he felt that money could be hot to the touch. Even if you had money, you couldn't spend it like this, right?

"There's really no need, it's too wasteful. The materials are very precious and hard to get. Our remaining materials are only enough to do it two more times; there's no need to waste them." Silver Coin advised.

"No, I can pay twice the price. Do it." Lu Ti Xi Ya said very firmly.

"Alright, you spendthrift..." Silver Coin said reluctantly: "If it's yours, it's best to drip a few drops of blood for me; hair won't work."

Silver Coin stood on the teleportation array with a small bottle of blood. As soon as he teleported away, he laughed out loud.

Could he not see Lu Ti Xi Ya's little thoughts? Even the fact that she would have this kind of 'little thought' was something Silver Coin had deliberately guided.

He deliberately let it slip that there were only two more times' worth of materials left, artificially creating scarcity.

And Lu Ti Xi Ya was even more willing to spend 40 million magic crystals to buy a unique one-time opportunity, rather than spend 20 million to buy one of them.

It was like someone being willing to buy a pair of treasures and smash one of them, so that the remaining one would be unique.

Of course, Silver Coin guiding her to think this way wasn't to sell one more time. Squeezing a big client's wallet dry wasn't the goal of a profiteer like him; his goal was to grow together with the client.

Guiding her to think this way was to make her think that this kind of material was very rare. Otherwise, if you could easily manufacture a body exactly the same as the client's, what would you make the client think?

Would she worry that you might manufacture a body one day and replace her?

One day later, Silver Coin pushed over a body that was ten years younger than Lu Ti Xi Ya but looked exactly the same, which directly stunned her. The impact of a jumping rabbit was far less impactful than having an identical self placed in front of her.

Now she understood why Silver Coin insisted on having her guards and maids leave. With such a bare body soaking in essence liquid, if it were seen by those guards, how would they get along in the future?

Lu Ti Xi Ya blushed, hurriedly pulled up a cover to cover the body, revealing only the face. After examining it for a long time, she suddenly asked: "Is this kind of body replacement safe?"

Silver Coin said: "If you're talking about safety, it's definitely safe. If you can come to our place to perform it, it's 100% safe. Even if there's an accident, our lord can save you. Performing it here is also safe; we've performed this kind of ritual three times, and all of them were successful."

"Only three times?" Lu Ti Xi Ya was surprised.

Silver Coin said sincerely: "Miss Lu Ti Xi Ya, the materials for this kind of ritual are very precious. If you weren't our big client, you wouldn't be able to come into contact with this level of secret technique, let alone twice. Oh, the jumping rabbit doesn't count; its size is too small, so it was treated with scraps and counted as a gift."

Lu Ti Xi Ya took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said: "Alright, prepare the ritual, and replace me."

Silver Coin really hadn't expected this to happen. He was stunned for a moment before asking: "You? Is it you who needs to replace your body? That's not right, is it? What about your grandfather, Enke Xi the Arcane Master?"

Lu Ti Xi Ya gave Silver Coin a meaningful look.

Silver Coin rubbed his hands: "Hehe, I definitely have to conduct a background check on my clients so that I can tailor better services. Please don't take offense."

Lu Ti Xi Ya laughed: "If you didn't do this, I wouldn't be at ease. If you really dared to agree to this kind of thing without knowing anything, I would have to worry about your ability. Since that's the case, do you know what it means that you know about this?"

Silver Coin laughed: "I don't know what it means. We just hope that Enke Xi the Arcane Master can live a long life and doesn't have to make some decisions against his original intentions because of lifespan or illness. This is also the hope of Holy Light."

"Holy Light? So you..." Lu Ti Xi Ya immediately realized.

Knowing Silver Coin's background, Lu Ti Xi Ya was even more confident, because for others to achieve body replacement was very incredible, but for the Church of Light to be able to do it was a matter of course; they were originally good at this kind of thing.

Since the background was revealed, Lu Ti Xi Ya didn't cover it up anymore and laid it out directly: "Since you already know my identity, you should also know my grandfather's situation. His situation is very bad. The backlash of magic power has been consuming his lifespan. If it continues like this, he won't last half a year."

"Replacing the body can eliminate the backlash of magic power, because it is cultivated from one's own flesh and blood, so even the affinity won't be weakened." Silver Coin explained along Lu Ti Xi Ya's words.

This was something Lu Ti Xi Ya hadn't thought of, but it was also very critical. If the elemental affinity of the body decreased, wouldn't the strength also decrease?

If he fell out of the realm of an Arcane Master, his deterrent power would also decrease, and those who coveted their family would easily have other ideas.

Silver Coin's explanation came just in time. Otherwise, if she brought her grandfather over and then discovered these key points were unclear, her grandfather would definitely doubt her ability.

"If we replace grandfather's body, it must be 100% safe. What measures do you have to guarantee it?" Lu Ti Xi Ya asked solemnly.

Silver Coin spread his hands: "Because of some reasons that cannot be disclosed, I can guarantee absolute safety, as long as you are willing to go to our place for body replacement. However, to boost your confidence, I have also prepared a Soul Casket."

"Hiss, you can even get a Soul Casket?" Lu Ti Xi Ya was shocked. Silver Coin meant that even if the body replacement failed, he could turn her grandfather into a Lich. Wasn't this her original goal?

This way, there would be no worries. Lu Ti Xi Ya said: "However, for the sake of safety, I want to perform it for grandfather first to ensure the safety of the whole process. I can have an accident, but grandfather cannot."

Silver Coin shook his head: "No, no, no, Miss Lu Ti Xi Ya, this is not your original intention. You originally just wanted to know if we had the ability to manufacture a body, without any preparation for replacement. What made you change your mind? It has reached this point, Miss Lu Ti Xi Ya, we need a more honest attitude."

Seeing that Silver Coin hadn't been fooled by her, Lu Ti Xi Ya fidgeted for a while before saying: "This body is ten years younger, after all."

"Just this?" Silver Coin was stunned.

"What do you mean 'just this'? Don't you think this skin, this hairline, this waist... ah! Don't look!" Lu Ti Xi Ya pointed all the way down, only then realizing that this body was her own and couldn't be seen by others, so she hurriedly pulled the cover back up.

Silver Coin couldn't understand. Just to be ten years younger, she dared to take such a big risk? Although there was the factor of scouting the path for her grandfather, Silver Coin still couldn't understand.

It would be one thing if Lu Ti Xi Ya were too old, but Silver Coin had seen in the City of Beauty how those old ladies were crazy about various beauty packages.

But the current Lu Ti Xi Ya was at the most graceful age, like a ripe peach, her whole body exuding maturity, plumpness, and sweetness. Coupled with being a powerful swordswoman, heroism and beauty appeared on her at the same time, blending into a fatal attraction.

This had already sublimated to the level of temperament. He really couldn't understand why she would risk giving up her current self just to be ten years younger and replace it with a younger body?

"You don't understand. Anyway, I want to change. Didn't you guarantee absolute safety? How can it be called a risk? Are you lying to me?" Lu Ti Xi Ya said.

Silver Coin spread his hands helplessly. He couldn't say that his words were just spoken casually. Anyway, he had already advised her. If the client wanted to take a risk, he could only tie the safety rope a little tighter.

However, before the replacement, one more thing needed to be done: invite Enke the Arcane Master over.

Not long after, outside the room door, Lu Ti Xi Ya was pulling an old man hard: "Grandfather, grandfather, hurry over, I'll show you something."

The old man smiled indulgently: "Little Lu Xi, what good thing do you want to show grandfather? Eh? Are there guests?"

Enke, who entered the room, immediately discovered Silver Coin and also noticed that something was wrong around him. In the room where the teleportation array was located, there was only a strange goblin, and all of Lu Ti Xi Ya's attendants and maids were gone. What was the situation?

Enke immediately became vigilant. Several possibilities flashed through his mind quickly, and he even quietly pressed the summoning array on his body to summon his followers.

Silver Coin raised his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and then bowed: "Hello, Lord Enke of the Snow's Howl, Silver Coin, messenger of the God of Balance, has met you, my lord."

"God of Balance?" He had never heard of it. Enke frowned. Where did this charlatan come from, actually cheating his granddaughter?

Lu Ti Xi Ya didn't give him too much time to think and quickly pulled Enke to the stone vat of essence liquid.

Seeing the Lu Ti Xi Ya inside who was ten years younger and a size smaller, Enke was stunned. He looked at Lu Ti Xi Ya in disbelief, then looked at the stone vat, and it was a long time before he muttered: "Your illegitimate child? Who did you have it with?"

Lu Ti Xi Ya was very embarrassed, acted like a spoiled child, and took the opportunity to explain the origin of the body in the stone vat.

Upon hearing that this body was cultivated from Lu Ti Xi Ya's flesh and blood and that the consciousness could be transferred to it, Enke instantly realized that this was an opportunity for him to continue living.

Enke turned to Silver Coin and asked straightforwardly: "How much?"

"40 million magic crystals." Silver Coin replied.

"Hiss—how to guarantee safety?" Enke first gasped in pain, but didn't say anything, and continued to ask.

"We have prepared a Soul Casket for you as a second option after failure, although failure is unlikely. Moreover, your granddaughter is willing to try it for you to verify the feasibility of this method." Silver Coin said.

"Nonsense, she's a thirty-year-old child, doing experiments for an old man like me who is about to see the God of Death?" Enke's face sank.

"Grandfather—" Lu Ti Xi Ya shouted, not agreeing.

"No nonsense." Enke stomped his foot, and the elements around him immediately became chaotic. Outside the door, more than a dozen followers rushed in.

"Watch the young lady." Enke ordered, and then, regardless of Lu Ti Xi Ya's cheeks being puffed up like a hamster, he turned to Silver Coin and asked: "Is there any change in the elemental affinity of the body? Is there any change in mental power? Will it affect magic power?"

Sure enough, he asked these key points, and even more deeply.

"Lord Negris, you won't have any friends if you're like this," Duluoken said angrily.

He asked for more details in detail and even tested Silver Coin's identity, setting several small traps in his language, trying to get more things out, fully displaying the sophistication of an Arcane Master.

However, Silver Coin was even more sophisticated than him, responding flawlessly, introducing all the details Enke wanted to know clearly, and introducing the details he hadn't thought of one by one.

Being picky was the sign of a buyer. Silver Coin earned the money of this kind of client without any burden. On the contrary, it was easy to earn money from someone like Lu Ti Xi Ya, and he felt embarrassed.

Finally, Enke asked: "What do you need me to do?"

"Remain neutral and yearn for the light." Silver Coin said.

Enke was somewhat incredulous: "Just like this? Don't you need me to donate one-tenth of my property? Don't you need me to believe in the God of Light? Don't you need me to pray every day?"

"No need, no need, didn't you pay money? 40 million magic crystals." Silver Coin said with a smile on his face, but in his heart, he couldn't help but scold: Tithe, damn it, Anthony the charlatan is still easier to earn money from.

Enke pondered for a while and asked: "Can I watch my body take shape with my own eyes?"

"Of course you can, but you need to go to our place." Silver Coin said.

This was normal. Unlike Lu Ti Xi Ya who was so reckless, not even knowing how the body was made, she dared to replace it.

Enke said: "You stay here, I'll go to your place to visit."

This meant he wanted to leave Silver Coin as a hostage.

Silver Coin, of course, didn't care, just saying: "No problem, it's just that this doesn't make much sense. They can't restrict me."

Those followers of Enke were displeased. What did this mean? There were more than a dozen swordmasters and great swordmasters here, and they couldn't restrict a goblin dwarf?

Only to see light radiating from Silver Coin's body, and a large money bag was pulled out by him.

Enke's eyes widened suddenly: "You are..."

He could feel that Silver Coin's aura had changed, but he didn't recognize what it had become.

"Uh, have you never seen a Soul Warrior? Have you never seen a True God possessing a body? Uh, I showed off in vain." Silver Coin said regretfully.

Realizing that Silver Coin's strength might not be inferior to his own, Enke gritted his teeth, took the risk to go to God-Fall Town, witnessed his body take shape with his own eyes, and then witnessed the consciousness transfer of the jumping rabbit with his own eyes.

Repeatedly checking that the jumping rabbit after the consciousness transfer had no sequelae, Enke finally made up his mind.

He knew his own physical condition best. If there was no change, he would have to die of old age in at most half a year.

The consciousness transfer went very smoothly, because the host was Anthony. Enke woke up from the new body, feeling the vitality of the new body, and the sequelae of the previous magic power backlash had also disappeared.

Enke said with a relaxed body: "Can this kind of replacement be done multiple times? Can I use this method to achieve the effect of eternal life? What price do I need to pay to learn this method? Is it too late to believe in the Light now?"
