Chapter 166: Quasi-Immortal

Chapter 166: Quasi-Immortal

Nodding, Bai Xue took off. As the other disciples left, Hui stood on his tiptoes, craning his neck. He caught sight of Fa Chuyou and rushed to her side, grabbing her sleeve seconds before she mounted her sword to fly off. Elder Sister!

She shook him off her sleeve and tossed her hair, reaching for her sword again. Hmph. Talk to that Bai Xue of yours!

Elder Sister, I I, II got materials to refine into my skin! Hui called.

You cant win me over with something that paltry, Fa Chuyou said, crossing her arms.

Hui glanced around, then leaned in to whisper in her ear, Its a scrap of shed skin from the snake ancestor in the trial realm!

Fa Chuyou stood bolt upright. She whirled, a broad smile on her face. Why didnt you say so from the start? A quasi-Immortal material? Xie Hao, dont hold back! Bring it out, bring it out!

Hui reached into his robes and carefully drew out the scrap of skin. It wavered on the air, dry and thin, seemingly ready to fall into dust at any moment. Fa Chuyou delicately accepted it into her hands, holding her breath as she drew it close. Her eyes grew larger and larger, and a smile spread across her face.

Fa Chuyou looked up, a hungry look in her eye. Xie Hao, I wont take no for an answer. Im refining your skin, right here, right now!New novel chapters are published on

Fa Chuyou, a moment, a moment? Hui tried, edging backwards. Er, I, I might have made her too excited!

She practically bobbled in place, shivering with excitement. Fa Chuyou hugged herself. Hurry. I cant wait!

Hui nodded. Come wait outside my vertebra, and Ill be right out.

Of course, of course! she said, nodding eagerly.

Hui bolted off down the skeleton, Fa Chuyou on his heels, so close he almost tripped as she nearly stepped on his feet. They bolted down to his vertebra. Hui darted inside and removed his ghoul-skin, then glanced around. Ah, dammit. I dont have anything to bribe the reaper with this time! I I guess Ill just have to trust Fa Chuyou

Wait! I know!

A chill premonition ran down Huis spine. He took a deep breath and dismissed the feeling. Its fine, its fine! Once I comprehend the snake-skin disguise technique, I can cover up whatever she does to the ghoul skin.

Can the snake skin technique hide extra limbs?

Fa Chuyou said shed only use the snake skin. Im safe, Im safe.

Probably.

Lifting the ghoul skin carefully from Jin Xians arms, Fa Chuyou lowered it into the coffin. Humming to herself, she bustled around, adjusting the fluid, adding dashes of this and that. Hui watched quietly through Jin Xians eyes, curious. Itd be even more valuable to my corpse cultivation if I could be there and sense her qi flow, but I dont want to run afoul of the reaper.

Ah! Not that this righteous cultivator is going to continue to refine corpses, aside from Jin Xian. Im a righteous cultivator, a righteous cultivator.

Fa Chuyou muttered to herself as she worked. Quasi-Immortal material quasi-Immortal! I need potent solvents. The strongest binding agents. Mmm luckily the ancestor left a scrap of quasi-Immortal qi inside the skin, or else I wouldnt be able to work with it at all. But getting exposed to quasi-Immortal qi this early Xie Hao, this is good fortune for both of us!

Eh? The snake ancestor left qi inside the skin? I couldnt sense it. Or rather I didnt check! Ah! Next time, Ill check!

She left the ghoul skin to marinate for a time. The skin scrap floated on top of the liquid. Despite its seeming delicacy, the skin did not dissolve at all into the liquid. Fa Chuyou returned, bending over the coffin. She swirled qi into the liquid and the ghoul skin, wrapping the snake shed into the liquid. The snake shed trembled, resisting her efforts.

Goon! Dissolve! Fa Chuyou cried, pushing herself further.

Even through Jin Xian, Hui felt the force of the energy pouring into the coffin. He licked his lips, nervous. What if she fails? What if she cant

Ah! Fa Chuyou stumbled back. A flash of red light burst out of the coffin.

Fa Chuyou! Hui shouted.
