"Zhong Hui rented the entire Sun Prince Inn. It is one of the more upscale hotels in the city. The entire hotel has been closed for at least 11 days. The servant said it was rented for at least two weeks."

"They also said there was a snake hostess who rented the hotel, but she was by no means a prisoner. She ordered those lifeless experts who followed her orders. When she was not training or resting, she and Zhong Hui talked about various topics in the conference room. She seemed to be in a good spirit and in a happy mood." Gao Yan continued. The information he received was almost incredible to him, but when Yan Xiaobao heard the news, he was shocked shortly after he started laughing.

His laughter grew louder and louder, until Gao Yan was worried about whether he was okay. Yan Xiaobao finally understood the situation.

“General Frozen was never interested in Alchemy Society’s items,” he said, stagnating as his laughter stopped. “He never intended these items. The only thing he wanted was to give me a test that he thought I could win.”

"He never intended to kill Shayun, nor did he have any interest in hurting her. She was his prisoner, but more importantly, she was just a way to get him in touch with me and get a way to get through. I dare say my silvermoon's pill formula, she has been treated well all the time, and the real friendship between them is growing." He continued, though shocked by Gao Yan, his words make some sense. He is the frozen general, and if he really wants items from the Alchemy Guild then he can get them without any difficulty.

Shaking his head at himself, he understood that if he had thought clearly earlier, he would have understood these simple facts, but he was blinded by Jong Hee's intention to kill and seriously believed that Sha Yun was in danger.

"Although I'm glad to hear that Sha Yun is not in danger, I'm sorry they deceived you." said tentatively, Gao Yan was not sure how Yan Xiaobao would react to this for the time being, but the young man just shrugged.

"I would rather be deceived day after day than put my friends in real danger," he said seriously. Although he was a little annoyed by himself, most importantly he breathed a sigh of relief. Shayun did not live the life of a prisoner in some frozen mansions. She was not subject to constant supervision and abuse. If anything, this awareness was undoubtedly the best news he could have obtained.

"Considering that Sha Yun is receiving her treatment, I have no reason to rush to the hotel where they are. I believe Zhong Hui needs something specific to me." Yan Xiaobao pondered loudly. "If he does need something from me, then he will come to me. If he doesn't do that, then it's meaningless to go through all these troubles and try to find something in common between the two of us."

"I think you might be right." Gao Yan nodded, "But even so, I will still let the servants observe the inn. On the other hand, Deng Wu told me that if I managed to figure out how General Frozen controlled his lifeless army, he would give me all the savings. Apparently dead but still alive. It was really mysterious." Gao Yan continued, and Yan Xiaobao nodded. He was also curious about these lifeless experts. They felt different from the Crusaders, but they were not more lively than the cloaks wearing undead creatures on it.

"I think I can ask him directly." Yan Xiaobao said half-jokingly. "I mean, if he wants my help, he should be willing to help me. In return, increasing Deng Wu's strength is undoubtedly a good reward. Although I am strong, I know that I can never get what I want by myself. Facing his general, I know that I also need the help of my friends. So helping my friends gain strength is like gaining strength by myself." Yan Xiaobao said that this is the first time he expressed his thoughts.

"I will do my best to help you." Gao Yan said with a smile on his face. "I also hope to become stronger and be able to play a more active role, but it really takes a long time to cultivate God's status according to the current level of cultivation. I need to work harder. Although my talents are very good, there is still a huge difference between my current king level and holy land level. Even Lao people, his cultivation path is further than me. I am worried that he will continue to move forward when I am behind." Gao Yan shook his head and said, Yan Xiaobao couldn't help but nod. He had realized this.

"It's not just you," Yan Xiaobao sighed. "The Rong Twins discovered something more important than them rather than nurturing. I will never ask them to stop doing what they like in order to fight by my side. Instead, I hope they can be happy. I hope they can lead a wonderful life and do whatever they want."

"On the path I chose, Deng Wu, Wang Julong, Sha Yun, Laos and Qiao will go with me," Yan Xiaobao said with a smile. "I have some favors that saints owe me. If they reach the status of God, then they will drag them to my help."

"Don't worry about me; I believe that as long as I and my family are by my side and support me with my good friends, I will never lose it!"

Gao Yan felt warm when he heard Yan Xiaobao. His responsibility to Yan Xiaobao was far more than anyone else, but even so, Yan Xiaobao was not in a hurry to cultivate him so that he could support him. On the contrary, he allowed Gao Yan to realize his dream of controlling information. He was really grateful.

"It seems that I will have people like General Frozen to do me a favor," Yan Xiaobao joked, and Gao Yan smiled.

"Okay, thank you for the information." Yan Xiaobao changed the subject before he was about to leave and nodded to Gao Yan. When he moved back to the hotel home, he felt as if a big stone was raised from him. A smile appeared on his lips, and a small whistle could be heard.

After arriving at home, everyone can feel the great changes in the mansion master. He welcomes everyone with a smile; he is willing to help anyone in doubt and not in a hurry because he spent some time trying to teach some planting techniques in Laos.

Seeing the sudden change in Yan Xiaobao's mood, everyone who knows Sha Yun knew that something good happened. However, no one wanted to ask. On the contrary, they were just waiting for Yan Xiaobao to say something, but he didn't.

Two days have passed, Xiaobao is in a good mood. He spent the whole time cultivating and preparing pills. Many of the pills he made were made with the recipe he created after considering many recipes he had used for a long time.

The pill he is making is equivalent to the one that Zhong Xi made in the Alchemist Competition. They allow the practitioner to skip a level, but Yan Xiaobao's real goal is not to create a pill that is comparable, his goal is to make the Silver Moon Pill with the herbs of this world. Unfortunately, it seems much more difficult than he originally assumed.

Finally, after waiting for the guests' gathering day after day, we finally arrived at the front door of Yan Xiaobao Building. In this group, Zhong Hui and Sha Yun led ten lifeless experts.

The guards outside the mansion shuddered, and when these unanticipated experts walked past them, everyone felt the cold cold penetrated their bodies. They couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. Nevertheless, they knew that the group of experts were important guests of Yan Xiaobao, and since they were treated perfectly by the current employer, they would do their best to complete their tasks as guards.

"Zhong Hui, Yun." Yan Xiaobao shouted as he walked down the stairs and looked at the group that had just entered the building. Zhong Xi was not a member of the group, but ten lifeless experts stood behind the two.

Hearing their names called Sha Yun and Zhong Hui laughed. Zhong Hui looked at Yan Xiaobao, obviously hoping to see the changes they had experienced since they encountered in Shen Yun for the last time.

It has been a while, and so far, Yan Xiaobao is no longer a teenager, but a young man with considerable strength behind it.

"Let's go to the library to chat." Yan Xiaobao said with a smile, and a trace of relief appeared on Zhong Hui's face.

The three of them moved to a small library together, and no one could hear what they said. Yan Xiaobao personally carved inscriptions and runes in the room. These were runes and inscriptions he found in the universe box. Yan Xiaobao made sure that no one could eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

"So why is it as extreme as kidnapping cloud?" Yan Xiaobao sat down and looked at the drinks and food he sent earlier.

Looking at Yan Xiaobao, Zhong Hui realized that the young man had guessed his true intentions, and he shrugged with an apology smile.

"I apologize, but I need at least one of your friends to listen to me. Our relationship is a bit tense at the moment, but I'm really not a bad guy." He sighed.

"Well, beating around the jungle does nothing. I'm here because I need you to help me achieve the formation of life. To be a God, my own practice is not enough. Looking at me, you see a young man. However, my true form is completely different; to be honest, I am an ice snake from the southern seas. The ice snake is a kind of divine beast, just like the four divine beasts and their descendants. Unfortunately, no ice snake has ever managed to be stronger than the Holy Pai beast, as if we can't be a god."

"I waited year after year to find a way for me to be God. At first, I didn't find anything about this question, but after reading the scroll and the second book, I realized that the formation of four divine beasts was left behind. " "What is the formation of life?" Yan Xiaobao asked curiously; when he heard General Frozen said that this project could help him reach the level of God, his interest was awakened, which was impossible for his entire race.

Looking at Yan Xiaobao, Zhong Hui showed a smile on his lips because he guessed that he had captured the young man's interest.

"The formation of life is an ancient power array. It was created by four divine beasts as the navels of this world. It is an array that condenses the essence of heaven and earth, and it is also the reason why we are considered one of the top worlds in this universe." Zhong Hui explained that as he leaned forward in his chair, his eyes were filled with glimmers of excitement.

"If a person enters the formation of life, they will be surrounded by the world power of the ancestors. This world power of the ancestors will slowly disintegrate the body of the expert in the array, but when the body disintegrates, the soul will be nourished. Their bodies will be with the world around them, and they will transcend the level of God."

“Not only can the Saints be able to enter the formation, but weaker experts can also keep it for quite a long time when their souls need a lot of reinforcement. It’s very painful and difficult to manage. However, I’m not sure if it’s more or less painful than using silvermoon’s pill so maybe you can let your beloved kid try it. I think you’ll definitely try your own life formation. The stronger your ability to understand the world around you faster this process will be.”

After the speech, Zhong Hui was quiet for a while, and Yan Xiaobao quietly thought about what he said. This formation of life seemed to be very prominent, but why did General Frozen need him? Even sharing information about the formation of life was a surprising move. Yan Xiaobao was very worried about the reason why he was told. What was the reason?

Seeing the frown on Yan Xiaobao's face, Zhong Hui guessed what he thought made him sigh. "I told you that I am an ice snake. I can't enter the Central Palace. No matter how much I want, I can't do this at all." Zhong Hui said with a regrettable shake of his head.

"I can enter the outer part of the sacred dungeon and the central palace, but the middle is protected by the energy of the four divine beasts that created this world. In order to eliminate the formation of life, I need to become a god." After a pause, Zhong Hui sighed. "I hope you enter the formation of life, become a god, and steal the formation so that I can use it too." He sighed.

"I know what you owe me, stealing the formation is not easy, but you can find the information I give you. When you become a God, you can think it is in my favor and I will come when you need help; even if it means fighting him and his generals. As a God, I believe I have the ability to deal with one of his generals. After all, I am a sacred beast.

When Yan Xiaobao heard his words, he was shocked and was not sure what to do. There were almost too many temptations to form life, but Yan Xiaobao realized that this was not simple.

"I will help you." He said slowly. "But I am not in a hurry to grasp the formation now." Yan Xiaobao said, and General Frozen was both cheerful and understanding.

"You're smart," he said nodded. "While weaker experts are likely to enter the formation, it's actually hard to reach it. Because it's the center of the world, it's the most protected place. Worse, it now belongs to Anhe. He allows his four fans to use the formation of life to become gods. Their talents are very limited, but they are his most loyal followers. Therefore, he is not the one we can easily deal with. Zhong Hui said with a sigh.

"If it belongs to Anhe, then how can I put my hand on the formation if I don't let him block it?" Yan Xiaobao asked with a sigh. Although he was tempted by this wonderful formation, he was unwilling to risk his and his friends' lives. Living is more important than reaching the level of God as soon as possible.
