Grand Ancestral Bloodlines
chapter-1218

1218 You.

The Favor Alchemy Sky God looked down after hearing Ryu's question. This was indeed a glaring issue. If finding a new body was so easy, she wouldn't have to go through all of this trouble.

"In addition, I made a promise, one that won't necessarily be possible to keep if you take the body." Ryu said with just as cold a tone.

He didn't describe the details of this promise, mostly because he wanted to see just how accurate the Favor Alchemy Sky God's clairvoyance was. When she reacted with confusion, he got his answer. It was clear that she didn't know about this at all.

"Do you know the reason Flowing Frost gave me her body despite the heaviness of the cost to her?" Ryu asked.

"I..."

"The Frost Clan's Bloodline, that body has the last remnants of it. You can probably guess now, right?"

The Favor Alchemy Sky God's brows shot up and she immediately went red. She seemed entirely too flustered given her age, but given her personality, maybe this should have already been obvious.

She took a breath and exhaled. "... I had been researching that pill for a long time already, this is a good opportunity to see if it works..."

Ryu raised an eyebrow, wondering what this woman was talking about now. As her blush slowly faded, it couldn't be that she really planned to accept, right? Or was it that this pill was a more dangerous one than her tone was making obvious?

The Favor Alchemy Sky God looked up and nodded. "I accept."

"You accept?" Ryu frowned.

"Don't overthink it," the young woman waved her hands in a somewhat flustered manner. "I created a pill that I haven't named it quite yet... I can complete it with a hint of your Yang Essence. So long as I swallow the pill..." she blushed profusely again. "... I can get pregnant without going through... That..."

Ryu's brows raised. Such a thing was possible as well?

"... It's quite ingenious actually. The pill will enter my body and slowly release its medicinal effect over an extended period of time. Whenever it senses that my body is in good condition for conceiving, it will release another wave of your Yang Essence. This pretty much guarantees conception over a long enough period of time, and it doesn't require..."

The Favor Alchemy Sky God blushed once again. She had never tested this pill for obvious reasons, but due to her intellectual curiosity, she had ended up researching it. Although she didn't look at it, if there was one thing she was obsessed with, it was making money. So she had thought of all sorts of pill formulas over her lifetime that could make the lives of cultivators easier, and this was definitely one of them.

But this idea never actually sold. Very few Sky God women were obsessed with having children for obvious reasons-it was too great a hamper on their potential and most wanted to wait until they had reached the limit of their talent-as for those that did want to have children, they tended to quite like the process itself... so, commodifying the chain of events proved more difficult than the Favor Alchemy Sky God had thought it would be.

"... Does it really feel that good?" She muttered. "... They don't know what's good for them..."

Ryu was almost tired of being rendered speechless by this woman. He shook his head.

"Even if you can accept carrying my child, this isn't good enough."

The Favor Alchemy Sky God released an exasperated sigh. "Don't you know how much I can help you? Just setting aside the flexibility of having a Sky God by your side, what about a Sky God alchemist?"

"Having a Sky God by my side will only dull my sharpness. I have no need for a Sky God alchemist. I can't take pills above my level, and for those at my level, no one can make pills that are better than mine. You would only hinder me," Ryu replied plainly.

"What did you just say?"

Ryu raised an eyebrow. There was a hint of sharpness in this woman's eyes now, it seemed that she didn't take his words lying down.

Instead of answering with words, Ryu just flipped his palm, revealing a delicate ore. At first, the Favor Alchemy Sky God only glanced at it once. But then she looked at it again, and then again, and then she eventually came so close that her nose was practically pressed up right against it.

Then, Ryu took out another. But this time, it wasn't an ore, it was a crystal pill with a river of rainbow colors swimming within it.

The Favor Alchemy Sky God's eyes opened wide. It had taken her several looks to understand what she was looking at in the ore, but when it came to the pill, she saw through it instantly. A pill using both pill and potion refinement methods, reaching the very pinnacle of the Runed Grade.

The ore was none other than the ores produced when Ryu used the [Refinement Sutra] for his Bone Structure. There was maybe no other ore in existence at the same level that shared this level of mysteriousness.

The pill was created when Ryu used the [Refinement Sutra] on his Qi Realm. What he needed was the Heavenly Favor from these two, so he never needed to consume them and as such, they had just been accumulated in his connection. If the Heavenly Favor Pills were the Favor Alchemy Sky God's magnum opus, then these pills and ores were Ryu's own magnum opus. And seeing them now...

The Favor Alchemy Sky God's little heart couldn't help but tremble.

She stared at them with her large, unblinking eyes, the depth of a galaxy still hidden within them. She truly didn't seem human at all, but she carried the adorable air of a little girl one wanted to protect with their lives.

Suddenly, the Favor Alchemy Sky God looked Ryu in the eyes.

"You. Do you have a Dao Companion?
