The news brought by Vermilion Bird caused Shen Yanxiao to look dazed. She could almost imagine how crowded Sun Never Sets was right now.
“Well, I will return after I have resolved the matter with the Broken Star Palace.” Shen Yanxiao cleared her throat. The news was shocking, but she had not forgotten the purpose of her trip.
“Speaking of which, what surprise do you intend to give the Broken Star Palace?” Vermilion Bird raised his eyebrows. He was almost accustomed to Shen Yanxiao’s unconventional behavior.
Even if Shen Yanxiao said that she wanted to strip everyone in the Broken Star Palace, he would not be surprised.
Vermilion Bird’s thoughts were getting more and more impure. How could an innocent and good girl like Shen Yanxiao, who had just undergone Lord Xiu’s “lessons”, possibly do something so immoral?
“Follow me and you’ll know.” Shen Yanxiao pretended to be secretive as she hooked her fingers at Vermilion Bird, as if she was trying to lure him in.
Vermilion Bird furrowed his brows and reminded, “The Broken Star Palace has a special array that targets magical beasts like us. If you wish to go all out, I advise you not to place your hopes on me.” Even though he did not wish to admit that his hands were tied in front of the Broken Star Palace, he did not wish for Shen Yanxiao to fall into danger due to her wrong judgment.
“I’m not that stupid. Return to my body first. You can attack when I tell you to.” Shen Yanxiao gave Vermilion Bird a slap and forcefully recalled him back into her body.
Putting on the signature black cloak of the Broken Star Palace, Shen Yanxiao walked towards the underground laboratory in the hall with a bellyful of evil tricks.
In the laboratory, Sage Lin was still extracting battle aura and magic from the two Second-Class Experts who had been sent over a few days ago. Shen Yanxiao’s arrival did not attract his attention.
In the eyes of the other members of the Broken Star Palace, Ah-Qi, who was only a thin line away from turning into dregs, was simply a dispensable existence. Many of them believed that Ah-Qi would soon become a test subject in their hands with the Palace Master’s recent policy to increase the amount of medicinal pills getting extracted.
Shen Yanxiao, who was ignored, walked calmly in the laboratory. She looked at the huge furnace. The size of the furnace was almost comparable to a large high-level magical beast. The top of the furnace even reached the ceiling of the laboratory. To wrap around the giant furnace, dozens of men would have to form a circle with their hands together, even then they might not even be able to hug it.
Within the furnace, there was a strange blue flame burning. This flame was the key to the Broken Star Palace’s experiments. The magic and battle aura extracted would combine with other potions and be placed in the furnace to be refined into a pill.
According to Luo Ke’s informative boasts, Shen Yanxiao knew that the blue flame was not afraid of wind nor water. As long as there was air, it could burn indefinitely. The only thing that could control the spread of the flame was the balance iron used to build the furnace.
However, this balance iron was extremely rare and not many could be found even in the Broken Star Palace. The remaining balance iron was used to build the seven pill furnaces in the laboratory beneath the seven palaces and not much more could be found.
“Vermilion Bird, can your flames blast the furnace made of balance iron?” Shen Yanxiao concealed herself as her eyes flickered with a nasty glint.
“Balance iron? There shouldn’t be a problem, I guess? My flame is fundamentally different from that cyan flame. What it fears, my flames will not..” Vermilion Bird answered through their spiritual connection.
