Female lead: No, it's me again??

After all, only resources that are good enough and suitable for them can cultivate sufficiently outstanding alchemists.

The Bai family would not, and would not, steal.

Bai Qing and the other person looked at Bai Sinian with surprise, somewhat puzzled as to what Bai Sinian was planning.

Feng Siyue didn't immediately understand what Bai Sinian meant. "What?"

Bai Silin, who was initially confused, caught the words "guest elder" and knew that he had a say in the matter.

"My brother's idea is that if we reach a cooperation agreement, Sister Chu Han can not only become an honorary guest elder of our Bai family, but also enjoy a monthly salary of one million top-grade spirit stones."

"You can also enjoy the resources belonging to the Bai family. Whether it's cultivation or the medicinal herbs and spiritual plants you need, the Bai family will do its best to provide them for you!"

Bai Silin skipped over to Chu Han's side, grabbed her hand, and said, "Sister Chu Han, even in Zhongzhou, no one dares to mess with the guest elders of our Bai family!"

It can be said that, because of Bai Silin, the Bai family showed Feng Siyue the utmost sincerity.

Feng Siyue was aware of this as well.

The high monthly salary was tempting, but she didn't believe they wouldn't be crazy about what she possessed.

The existence of the divine fire is enough to cause the entire continent to fight tooth and nail.

Moreover, it's a bit strange that the Bai family would give a second-grade alchemist a monthly salary of one million top-grade spirit stones.

Compared to that, my life is more important.

Just as she was about to refuse, Bai Sinian suddenly clutched his chest and coughed loudly, the smell of blood spreading throughout the private room.

In an instant, Feng Siyue felt that his aura had turned into that of an old man, devoid of any vitality.

If Bai Sinian was only somewhat frail when he first arrived, he is now an old man on the verge of death.

How is this going?

Bai Silin and the woman behind him seemed to be on high alert. Even the two peak Saint-level guards outside rushed into the house, looking worried.

"Si Nian, are you alright?"

"elder brother!"

The people who entered were two elderly men in gray robes.

He was dressed simply and had an ordinary demeanor.

The young man waved his right hand, which had been hanging down on his thigh, at them, "It's alright."

Only Feng Siyue, who inadvertently caught a glimpse of the young man's wrist, widened her eyes in an instant, "Soul Devouring Curse?"

Blue veins were faintly visible beneath his snow-white skin, but on his wrist was a black eye that was two-thirds open.

Upon hearing Feng Siyue's murmur, Bai Qing, the seventh elder of the Bai family, abruptly turned his head, his icy gaze exuding an intense sense of pressure.

How do you know that?

Xuan Li, who was sitting next to Feng Siyue, stood up and stood in front of her, looking at her with disdain. "What, is the Soul Devouring Curse some earth-shattering secret? You think you know about it?"

Feng Siyue reached out and pulled Xuan Li behind her, looking at Bai Sinian with a puzzled and confused expression, "Those who have received the Soul Devouring Curse cannot live past eighteen, why...?"

Bai Sinian smiled bitterly and lowered his hand, gently smoothing his sleeve to cover it. "If it weren't for the family's all-out efforts to help me survive for these four years, Miss Chu Han would probably not be seeing me now."

Feng Siyue bit her lip.

Those afflicted by the Soul-Devouring Curse will be stripped of their talents, bloodline, and spiritual roots, and transformed into a breeding ground for demons, their lives ending at the age of eighteen.

Therefore, Bai Sinian's talent is certainly no less than hers.

Furthermore, the fact that he was able to survive for four years with the help of his family and not be abandoned is enough to demonstrate the harmony within the Bai family.

From this perspective alone, the Bai family is a trustworthy ally.

"Chu Han, I remember my brother saying that the Soul Devouring Curse cannot make its host live past eighteen. What's going on with Bai Sinian?"

Xuan Li whispered to Feng Siyue, thinking no one would hear her, but who among those present wasn't more powerful than her?

so...

Feng Siyue thought of a possibility, "Did you use the Three-Leaf Ice Soul Lotus on him?"

She hadn't forgotten the icy aura that Bai Sinian exuded when he entered, nor his unusual appearance.

Bai Qing's gaze towards Feng Siyue became wary. "Who are you?"

Another elder of the Bai family, Bai Shuo, slowly stepped in front of Bai Sinian, saying, "Young friend, you seem to know a bit too much."

Both the Soul-Devouring Curse and the Three-Leaf Ice Lotus are secrets known only to a select few on the continent, suggesting that this little girl's background is anything but simple.

Feng Siyue was struggling internally, unsure whether she should reveal that she also possessed the Soul-Devouring Curse.

But as a fellow human, she couldn't bear to watch the exceptionally talented Bai Sinian die like this.

They cannot accept that the demon race has grown stronger because of their talents!

Perhaps, we can try to believe?

Feng Siyue slowly extended her left hand, untied the black cloth from her wrist, revealing a half-closed black eye.

An evil aura slowly emanated.

"Because, I have one too."

These words struck Bai Qing and the others like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, leaving them momentarily speechless as they stared intently at the girl's wrist.

"you.….."

Bai Qing felt the familiar evil aura on the girl's wrist, and while he was overjoyed, he also felt that fate was playing tricks on him.

He was delighted that since she knew about the Soul-Devouring Curse, she might know the whereabouts of the antidote; he felt it was a cruel twist of fate that another genius had fallen victim to the demons.

"I can agree to your previous proposal. In addition to the normal supply of pills, I hope you can help me find information about the Three-Leaf Ice Soul Lotus, the Seven-Colored Scale Insect, the Innate Spirit Marrow Stone, and the Purple Divine Bamboo Leaf within two years."

"In exchange, if you trust me, I will give you the Breakthrough Pill in two years."

Now it's not Bai Sinian who wants to discuss cooperation with Feng Siyue, but rather Feng Siyue who wants to discuss cooperation with the Bai family.

Regardless of anything else, the fact that Bai Sinian lived to the age of twenty-two is enough to prove that they had far more information about medicinal herbs and ways to obtain them than she did.

She doesn't know how many detours she'll take on her own.

Just based on the fact that Feng Siyue also possessed the Soul Devouring Curse, Bai Qing was prepared to help her unconditionally.

He couldn't even imagine how terrifying a demon race, nurtured using the top talents of the human race, would be if it grew up!

But the girl in front of me was speaking rather arrogantly.
