Jin Yan frowned. There was really no reason to suspect that the other party was not afraid of the Contract of Darkness.
He waved his hand. "There's no need to be hostile. He's considered one of us now."
"Boss, he killed Shi Fei."
The Succubus, An You, had a different opinion.
"Demon Refinement Path, here the life and death are up to fate. Do you need me to tell you again?"
An You pouted and turned her head away, not saying another word.
"Actually, even if I submit to the Demonic Chaos Ape, you guys can still come and take revenge on me. There's no need to stand on ceremony."
Song Shi smiled and the expressions of An You and the others changed.
In this place, they were really not this person's match if they fought him alone. How could they take revenge?
"No, since you're my subordinate, if they dare to take revenge, they're not giving me face!"
Jin Yan humphed coldly.
"Alright, then let's talk about the situation here. How can we get out?"
Song Shi changed the topic. He was not in a hurry to betray him. At the very least, he had to get the benefits first.
"Wait for a hundred years, or accumulate a hundred Blood Spirit Pearls, obtain the qualifications to enter the Spirit Severing Road, defeat all the guards, and pass through the Spirit Severing Road. Then we can leave early."
One hundred years was definitely too much. Unless he could hide so that no one could find him, he would easily be killed within 100 years. The only way was to obtain the Blood Spirit Pearl.
"Blood Spirit Pearl? How do I obtain it?"
Song Shi was curious.
"Look at their bodies."
Jin Yan reminded.
Song Shi turned his head and was shocked to discover that the corpses was withering. Invisibly, something was devouring the essence in the flesh and blood, slowly condensing into a blood-colored bead in midair.
"This is the Blood Spirit Pearl. Every time you kill a prey, you can obtain one or more. The prey here are all at least at the Demon Venerable level. They are qualified to become Great Sages outside. It's not easy to kill them."
Jin Yan told the cruel truth of the trial.
As he spoke, new Blood Spirit Pearls continued to condense on Xue Liting's body and his body withered even more.
Xue Liting was not the only one. The other two demon geniuses that he had killed were also condensing Blood Spirit Pearls.
"To kill as a training is quite cruel."
Song Shi muttered, "Where are the Blood Spirit Beads they accumulated previously? Why didn't I see them in the spatial storage ring?"
"It's all absorbed."
Jin Yan opened his palm, and a Blood Spirit Pearl appeared. "I haven't completely refined it yet. As long as I refine a hundred of them, I'll be confident of being able to pass through the Spirit Severing Road."
Song Shi was enlightened. It turned out that the Blood Spirit Pearl was also a special cultivation resource in this place. Every time he refined a Blood Spirit Pearl, his body should become stronger.
"I think you understand now. This place is used to train one's body."
Jin Yan crossed his arms. "Your body is strong, so you will have a huge advantage here."
This was also the reason why he had taken a fancy to Song Shi. With Song Shi's physical body, he alone was comparable to the three dead fellows. He could help him quickly collect the Blood Spirit Beads.
"I don't want the Blood Spirit Pearl. Can we go straight to the Spirit Severing Road?"
Song Shi was tempted.
"No, one hundred Blood Spirit Pearls is the minimum requirement. Otherwise, I don't have the qualifications to challenge the Spirit Severing Road."
Jin Yan shook his head.
"How much did you collect?"
"Our team has collected more than seventy already. Even if we split them equally, there are still less than ten for each."
As Jin Yan explained, the flesh and blood of Xue Liting and the others quickly withered and finally turned into white bones. Beads of blood the size of pigeon eggs emitted a brilliant light.
What surprised Song Shi was that there was also a half a drop of blood in the corpses. The size of the drop of blood pearl should be equivalent to their power level.
The blood beads condensed by the three guys were about the same. They were seven, seven and a half, and eight.
Curious, Song Shi sucked one from afar and held it in his hand to observe.
Pure vitality was contained in it. There were no impurities and it could be absorbed directly.
"Xue Liting's blood pearl is yours. The rest is divided into two portions. One for me and one for each of the others."
Jin Yan accepted the blood pearls that Song Shi had killed without hesitation. Some of them he gave to comfort his teammates, while most of them were taken by himself. Song Shi only received one-third of the blood pearls, which was not as much as Jin Yan's.
Song Shi was a little displeased. This was his spoils of war. However, he was not in a hurry to turn hostile and endured it.
Jin Yan was satisfied that Song Shi did not reject him. "Don't think about it. I'm not targeting you. Even if I give you all of them, you won't be able to refine them in a short period of time."
He crossed his arms, "The life source contained in this Blood Spirit Pearl is equivalent to an ordinary Soul Transformation cultivator. It takes half a month to refine it normally."
"I understand. Can you tell me about your trial? Which places have you passed by?"
Song Shi was curious. This demonic refinement seemed to take a long time and was rather mysterious. He did not know if he could blend in.
"You ask too many questions!"
Jin Yan was displeased. "I've said enough. If you want to know, ask someone else privately."
Song Shi shrugged and secretly calculated the Blood Spirit Beads these guys had. He looked at the graceful succubus, An You.
"You want to avenge that bird man right, so let's talk?"
Without giving the other party a chance to refuse, Song Shi strode over.
An You was holding Shi Fei's Blood Spirit Pearl. When she heard Song Shi's words, she was furious. "I don't want to talk to you!"
"This misunderstanding needs to be resolved. Come, I'll give you a Blood Spirit Pearl."
Song Shi threw a Blood Spirit Pearl over.
An You grabbed it and snorted. "I'm not free."
"Then I will give you another one. Give me some of your time"
Song Shi threw out a Blood Spirit Pearl again. Many gazes looked over, feeling that he did not know the value of the Blood Spirit Pearl.
With the two Blood Spirit Pearls in his hands, An You's expression eased a little. "Shi Fei owes me two to begin with. I'll take it that you're paying them back for him."
"There should interest that must be paid too."
