Chapter 363 So What If You Accept?!
"I asked you to come to see me. How come you are not here?"
Krune shrugged his shoulder and said.
"Because I don't feel like being kidnapped yet."
Amark almost fainted!
'Can't you be a little more respectful with this person?'
But contrary to his expectations, Olave laughed instead.
"Hahaha! Good, it's not every day I find a young one as brave as you. But unfortunately, what I need from you must be done personally."
Krune shook his head and said.
"I won't be leaving the Wisp Main world anytime soon, that is already a given. I'm not in the condition to move even if I wanted to anyway. So you will need to ask someone else."
Krune really didn't want to get involved with someone like that at all. The risks of his illegal entrance being found are too high.
Olave, on the other hand, was adamant about his decision.
"No can do, it has to be you. I need you to come with me to see someone in the Zenfin Sect."
Krune smiled and shook his head.
"This is not going anywhere. What is it that you need me so much? As you know, I'm only an alchemist. Sure, my pills have some nice side effects and can even compare to Diamond Stars ones. But someone at your level can definitely get pills which are several grades higher than simple Diamond Stars ones."
This time, Olave talked seriously.
"That is indeed what I need from you, to concoct a pill for me. But the person who is going to swallow it is not here in the Dalin Universe. As for the fact that I can get much higher grades pills, that I admit being true. Unfortunately, none of them are useful in this case."
Krune immediately felt puzzled.
"If pills above the Diamond Stars level are not of any use, then mine will be even less. What are you talking about?"
Olave shook his head and said.
"You are correct when you say that your pills are of a much lower level than the ones I can get, but the other pills don't have that special Purple Flame property."
"The purple flame?"
Olave then explained.
"What I need you to concoct for me is the Life Dew Pill."
That name immediately reminded Krune and Amark of what kind of pill it is. The Life Dew Pill is the best Golden Stars Level healing pill that exists. It is said that as long as one is under the Divine Path Realm and still has a breath remaining, this pill can absolutely heal you completely, and that includes the Soul. However, the pill also used Life Dew in the concocting process. That was also why it was called that.
Life Dew was an ingredient that couldn't be moved away from the leaf where it originated for too long. Once it was gathered, the pill had to be concocted straight away. And even so, the pill would only keep its effect for a few minutes after it was completed. So the pill itself also had to be consumed immediately. Simply put, it was a marvelous pill but with almost no practical use.
After hearing that, Krune felt like it was a joke.
"The Life Dew Pill is indeed a good pill, but I don't see why you need that? Sure, it can bring someone back from the brink of death as long as they are not in the Divine Path Realm or above. Still, with your power, you could simply get a higher grade pill that didn't have this limitation in transportation. For example, why don't you use an All Life Pill? Although it is on the Dinivity Stars level, I'm sure you can get something like that."
Olave nodded.
"You are right, I can indeed get one of those. But it won't work on the person who I need to heal. Let me ask you, do you know which kind of leaf the Life Dew appears on?"
Krune pondered a bit and then answered.
"The death tree from the underworld."
Olave nodded.
"It's quite a magical thing, don't you think? The death tree, a tree from which death energy emanates without stop. But every one thousand years, during a single day only, the death energy stops and the tree and the leaves green into a beautiful green. It's precisely on those leaves that the Life Dew appears."
Suddenly, Krune had an idea.
"Wait, you couldn't possibly be saying that the person you want to treat is, in fact..."
Olave smiled and then nodded.
"It seems like you really know your stuff. Yes, the person I want to heal has died already. I only have her Soul at the moment. The problem is that her Soul is too weak, so I can't send her into the reincarnation path yet. Souls from dead people are totally different from the Souls of living ones. The only thing that can heal them is the Life Dew Pill."
Krune couldn't help but ask.
"Why can't you send her into the reincarnation? As far as I know, even weak souls would be healed once they are sent into the cycle of samsara. So unless you want to keep her Soul with you, the best thing to do is to simply let her go. She will eventually get healed and be born again when the time is ripe."
Olave nodded.
"Correct, but if I do that, she will lose all her memories."
Krune finally understood the crux of the issue.
"I see, you want to brand her Soul so that the cycle of samsara will not wipe out her memories. Once her cultivation reaches the Divine Soul Realm, she will remember everything from her past life... or so I'm told."
Krune then continued.
"If I'm not wrong, because her Soul is still too weak, if you brand her Soul now, she will probably not resist the process and dissipate. Am I correct?"
Olave was impressed that Krune understood everything with so little information.
"It's good that you understand. So, can you help me?"
Krune narrowed his eyes and said.
"Still, I don't see the use of bringing me around. Sure, although the Life Dew Pill is amazing, it is still a Golden Stars Level one. In that case, why not call out a Divinity Realm Alchemist? I'm sure that the pill they will create will be nearly perfect. If you don't count my Purple Flame Concoction, I am several light-years away from being able to do what they can."
Olave then sighed and said.
"Do you think I haven't tried already? I tried not only once, but over a 100 times! I called several famous alchemists from different Universes to concoct the Life Dew Pill for me, but it was all for nothing!"
Krune then said.
"I see... it's the grade of the pill. That's why you need my Purple Flame."
Olave looked at Krune even more shooked now.
"Yes! That's precisely it! All the alchemist said the same thing. The Life Dew Pill is excellent, but it can not go above the Golden Stars level. But from the information I got, your Purple Flame pills can make a Golden Stars pill reach a level of effect far above what they were supposed to. The Life Dew Pill is a peak Golden Stars Level one. With your Purple Flames concoction process, it definitely can show achieve the effect of a High-Level Diamond Stars one."
Krune sighed and then asked.
"Olave, have you ever tested one of my pills before?"
Olave was taken aback.
"What you meant?"
Krune then looked at Amark and said.
"Amark, give him any of my Purple Flame Pills and let him use it. He will immediately understand what I mean."
Amark nodded and brought out a cultivation stabilizing pill from his spatial ring.
Olave looked at the pill puzzled, but swallowed it nonetheless. With his cultivation, he wasn't afraid of a pill made by someone as weak as Krune.
Soon, he understood Krune's concern. The Purple Flame Pills are really... Tyrannical! Although he had nothing to be stabilized, the pill still worked on its own and acted on his Spiritual Energy extremely forcefully. He felt like instead of Stabilizing Pill, it would be better to call it Cultivation Submission Pill.
Krune looked at him and asked.
"Do you see it? That's how all my Purple Flame Pills act. Everything follows the principle of force! Let me ask you, do you think that the Soul you want to heal can resist this 'force' of mine? I won't say that the Soul will definitely perish because of my pill. Especially because I have never concocted and seen a Soul from a dead person using it before. But I would reckon that we have at least a half-half chance of death here. And that is considering that even if the Soul doesn't dissipate, the pill might still not work.
Olave went silent for a moment. If it worked, that would be great! But if it failed, in the best-case scenario, the Soul wouldn't be healed. In the worst case, the pill would destroy the Soul!
Krune believed that with this, Olave would finally leave him be. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
Olave gritted his teeth and said.
"I accept the risk! If I sent her into the cycle of samsara and she loses her memory, she won't be the person that I knew anymore! It will be the same as being dead anyway."
Krune heard that and immediately exclaimed.
"So what if you accept the risk?! I definitely don't! Any idiot can see that if I fail, my life is over! Shoo, shoo, I'm out!"
Krune then finished the call without even waiting for an answer.
However, Olave didn't have the time to get mad. That's because, in the next second, the call connected again!
'Did he change his mind? That's good for you! It is not a good thing to make the Sect Master of the Zenfin Sect, me, angry.'
But contrary to his expectations...
"Amark, don't forget my pill materials."
Krune then finished the call once more!
