1122. Resurrection Technique
"Buzz!"
The moment the soul entered the body, the energy in the world surged violently. Right under the noses of so many people, Yao Wangui's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and he was resurrected!
Judging from his surrounding aura, his strength was still at the three-star Dou Sheng level. The reason he had recovered to this point was mainly because Xiao Yan used extremely high-grade herbs to achieve the best effect, providing materials equivalent to a ninth-grade Xuan Dan. Yao Wangui's soul was powerful, and given the short time since his fall, he was naturally able to recover most of his strength.
Yao Wangui was somewhat bewildered at being reborn. He looked down at his brand-new hands and felt the surging battle qi within his body, as if he had not yet fully adapted to this new body.
"Elder Yao Wangui, how is it? Are you satisfied with my soul rebirth technique?"
Looking at Xiao Yan, who was so close yet wearing a smile, Yao Wangui felt as if he were being watched by a monster. He disregarded everything else and immediately left the central trading area, quickly darting into the Yao Clan's territory, as if afraid that if he lingered even a moment longer, he would revert to his soul form.
The many powerful figures present were so surprised that they couldn't speak. Only heavy breathing could be heard. Actions speak louder than words. It seemed that Xiao Yan had really resurrected a soul so casually!
"How is this possible? How could it be so fast?"
"And this is way too easy..."
"This is incredible! Does that mean that as long as they're around, we're practically immortal? Who would dare mess with them?"
"No, no, didn't you guys notice that that soul was completely abnormal?"
"Why aren't you saying a word? Has Yao Wangui become mute?"
"Why did you run away? Shouldn't you have shown us properly first?"
The powerful figures present immediately understood the brilliance of Xiao Yan's method, but they also had some doubts.
Xiao Yan cleared his throat slightly, his voice becoming exceptionally clear under the influence of Dou Qi: "Then the demonstration of the Soul Rebirth Technique will conclude here. Thank you, Elder Yao Wangui, for being willing to accompany me on this attempt."
Seeing the reaction from everyone present, Xiao Yan was very satisfied and continued to explain, "Everyone should have seen the effect. Although the strength will decline somewhat, conservatively speaking, 70% to 80% of the ability will still be retained. Moreover, we are resurrecting by reshaping the body, so there will be no hidden dangers like stealing someone else's body. However, this ability is not without limits; each person can only use it once in their lifetime."
Hearing Xiao Yan's detailed explanation, everyone's emotions, which had been fluctuating due to his description, calmed down somewhat. According to Xiao Yan's explanation, this ability didn't seem so heaven-defying. Moreover, everyone had seen the time frame; it would still take about an hour, which wasn't long, but it certainly wasn't short either.
The fact that a person can be resurrected in an hour suggests that there is a high probability that there won't be a situation where there are no available spots for resurrection.
However, it takes an hour to revive, which means that this method cannot be used in battle.
Moreover, resurrection requires the integrity of the soul, but in a typical battle between a Dou Sheng powerhouse, if your opponent can destroy your physical body, they can usually also completely annihilate your soul.
But upon closer examination, they discovered the power of this method—as long as the soul remains intact, it's essentially equivalent to having a second life. This would be reasonable for one or two people, but the key is that it works for everyone!
Everyone here is a Dou Sheng level expert. It's not easy to reach this level after so many years of hard work, and no one wants to suddenly perish. As long as you're alive, there's hope; as long as you're alive, there's a future. No one would complain about having too long a life.
Even with limitations, it is still an incredibly tempting ability presented to them.
"So, what's the price of this ability?"
Xiao Yan said calmly, "One resurrection costs one Rank 9 Treasure Pill."
Xiao Yan's proposed price wasn't cheap; ninth-grade precious pills weren't easy to obtain. But everyone was asking themselves: if they were truly facing imminent death, or forced to possess someone else's body, would they be reluctant to part with a single ninth-grade pill?
No matter how important the elixir, nothing is more important than one's own life. If one could exchange a ninth-grade elixir for a second chance at life, it would certainly be a profitable deal.
But immediately, Xiao Yan dropped another bombshell: "If you join the Guiyuan Mansion, then this price will be free!"
"What??"
"free!"
"Lord Xiao Yan, is this true?"
Xiao Yan nodded: "Of course, and my Guiyuan Mansion also warmly welcomes everyone to join us."
The effect before him was something Xiao Yan had prepared for a long time. What he truly cared about wasn't how many pills he could obtain by using the technique of resurrection, but rather his desire to further strengthen the Guiyuan Mansion's power. And to achieve this, he naturally had to win over the hearts of these powerful individuals.
These people have clean backgrounds and have not joined other forces, making them the best targets for Guiyuan Prefecture to grow stronger.
As long as they are willing to join, the ability to be resurrected for free is secondary. After all, as long as they are strong enough to be loyal to Guiyuan Mansion, Xiao Yan would have found a way to revive them while their souls were still intact.
Of course, these people were well aware of this, and soon everyone fell silent. They hadn't joined any other faction yet, so they valued freedom highly, and Xiao Yan had presented them with a considerable challenge.
Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry. He just wanted to use the trade fair to bring up this matter and attract powerful people to join. He could also exchange it for ninth-grade pills, which wouldn't be a loss either way.
"Gentlemen, the conditions I have offered remain valid. If you wish, you are welcome to come to Guiyuan Mansion at any time; the gates of Guiyuan Mansion are always open to you!"
Xiao Yan had no intention of waiting any longer; after all, these people would come looking for him sooner or later if they were interested. With his presentation complete, the trade fair naturally came to an end. This trade fair produced many extremely rare items, allowing many people to gain something. Even those who didn't buy anything were thrilled just to see these rarely seen items.
……
Xiao Yan and the others did not rush to leave. Sure enough, that very evening, Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Yao Clan, invited Xiao Yan to come again.
Xiao Yan knew without even thinking what they wanted, so he easily went to keep the appointment with Xun'er.
Only three people saw him: Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Medicine Clan; Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Thunder Clan; and Shi Kai, the patriarch of the Stone Clan. This lineup speaks volumes.
"Good evening, you three." Xiao Yan gave them a friendly smile.
"Lord Xiao, you've kept it well hidden!" Yao Dan murmured.
"The three of you are all seniors, Xiao Yan dares not accept this."
