Death... and me
chapter-790

Seeing that Red wavered, Rean decided to strike the iron while it was hot. "Aren't the few herbs enough for you? Then, how about Roan concocts a pill for you that can clean your meridians? It uses the same herbs you want to eat, so it's certain to be tasty. Besides, it should give you a boost in the future."

Red's eyes lit up after hearing that, asking, "Can he do such a thing?"

"But of course!" Rean immediately confirmed. Roan spent a lot of time practicing his pill concoction during his free time in the Freedom Sect, especially because he had many herbs to use. Besides, Red was just a single realm above himself. Unlike Darian, who was already a Stage Nine Demon Beast, Red was only at Stage Six. His pills would certainly have a great effect on him. It would be much better than what Rean did for Darian to his marrows. Not to mention that cleaning the meridians had a much greater effect.

Rean then immediately called Roan through their Soul Connection. Not too long after, Roan appeared in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. It's just that he didn't look very happy after hearing the contents of Rean's negotiation. "Are you crazy? Even though we have Celis, my herbs are hard to manage. I often come here to help take care of them with Celis's support. How can you offer such a deal?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "Come on! You just need to give Red the herbs that you can spare. It's not like you must feed him with the ones that you don't have much of. Besides, we need Red's help if we want that plan to work. My Light bending skill isn't enough to cover the change in my appearance."

Red then looked at the twins after that, asking, "Just one question. Why do you think I won't betray you after getting what I want?"

However, Rean and Roan didn't look the least bit concerned as Roan replied, "Hmph! You're too prideful to break your own word."

"I might have been only pretending, you know?"

Roan shook his head, saying, "If so, you are the best liar in the Universe if you're able to fool even me."

Rean nodded, knowing Roan's skills as a lie detector. Countless years working as a death spirit wasn't just for show.

Red narrowed his eyes in response but eventually nodded in the end. "Fine! I want you to prove that you were telling the truth, and I want the pill. But if I see that you were lying about the blood pool, I will definitely take revenge, even if it costs my life."

Rean smiled in response, saying, "Good thing I know I'm not wrong."

Following that, Red finally asked a question that has been puzzling him until now. "So, now that this is out of the way...just what the hell is this place? How come I was able to hear everything from outside? More importantly, what is that ridiculous floating orb?"

*Bang!*

*Crack, crack, crack...*

*Arrrgh!*

Red only had the time to end his question before Sister Orb collided with his body. This time, she really took it seriously, breaking quite a few of Red's bones. [Ohohoho~ That's weird...I swear I heard a little piece of shit badmouthing me.]

Red vomited blood, literally! It's just that it was hard to tell if it was because of anger or his injuries...probably both.

Sister Orb then approached the crater created by Red's body after the impact. [It was all a mistake, wasn't it? There's no way someone would talk like that inside my own dimensional realm.]

Red then looked at Sister Orb after that and couldn't help but feel a chill behind his back. Even his golden lightning was completely useless in this place, so his anger disappeared almost instantly. Following that, he looked at Rean and Roan, obviously asking for help.

"I need to go check the formations of the Freedom Sect, so I'll be back later." Surprisingly, Rean disappeared in a flash.

"I better go collect the herbs for the Meridian Cleansing Pill before I forget about it." Not only that, but Roan also ignored Red and left for the garden.

Just like that, they abandoned Red as if it was just natural. One must understand...in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, Sister Orb was god! And a god in a much higher position than the twins.

[Hahaha! Now then. Shall we play a little bit?] Sister Orb was obviously pleased with that outcome, much to Red's despair.

"Wait, wait! It was my bad! I won't say anything anymore, alright?" In the end, Red could only yield. This time, Sister Orb hit him with much more strength than any of the other events. He truly didn't want to get on the orb's bad side anymore.

Later that day, Rean came back and healed Red with his Light Element before finally allowing him to come out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. For Red, it was the end of a nightmare.

After that, Red received Roan's Meridian Cleansing Pill later. Before, Roan created Cross-Realm Pills that had this side effect. However, in the end, he came up with a pill of Light and Dark Element that was solely used for that. It was a product that could achieve a much better result. The process was still the same, though. The Dark Element destroyed the damaged areas and the impurities present in the meridians, while the Light Element protected it. Last but not least, the medicinal properties rebuilt the necessary parts anew.

After seeing the effects of the pill, Red couldn't help but admire it. "To think that such a thing could be created. I can feel the flow of Spiritual Energy so well, and it happens so easily that it's kinda scary."

"That's because you're in the perfect cultivation level for this pill," Roan explained. "If you were at Stage Seven, the effects wouldn't be as obvious since my alchemy level isn't there yet."

Red nodded before he looked at Rean and Roan, asking, "Alright. Since you've kept your part of the deal, I'll keep mine. What is it that you need me for?"

Rean faintly smiled before saying, "We need you to win this war."
