Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1130 - 902: What Does It Mean to Be Overpowered? (Part 2)

Jiang Yuan glanced at the stock of Resurrection Talismans in his Storage Bag and nodded with a smile, "From now on, we’re on the same side. No matter what task I assign you, don’t worry. Since I can resurrect Xiao Bai, I can also bring you back from the dead.

However, death comes at a cost.

Resurrection is merely my last resort to support you; it should not be used recklessly, let alone treat life like a game, or the price of dying and coming back to life would be too great, leaving lifelong regret?"

Becoming a guard under contract naturally requires laying down the basics.

But he can’t get too smug, or else no number of Resurrection Talismans would be enough if used carelessly and excessively.

Even so, Qu Luming’s mind was buzzing, and the entire Ghost City felt light as a feather. When he finally came to his senses, he realized his whole body was trembling slightly.

"Relax, it’s best to keep this matter low-key, you knowing is enough." Jiang Yuan patted his shoulder, waiting for the other to stabilize his breathing and calm down, and then headed back to the small courtyard.

Only then did Qu Luming react, bowing with a smile, "Sir, please allow me to take my leave. Du Li is still drunk, so I won’t run into him just yet; I’ll wait a few days."

Leaving the courtyard and teleporting to Fengdu in the Netherworld, an eerie wind blew in his face, bringing him fully back to his senses—Mr. Jiang made it very clear: if he died while working for him, there was room for resurrection.

In other words, if he died due to unrelated matters, whether he could be resurrected depended on his weight in Mr. Jiang’s heart.

To resurrect a Cultivator whose path and life have ended was no small feat. Without special contributions or significant importance, why would someone expend effort to resurrect a useless individual?

"After living so many years, I’ve finally become clear about who is worth risking my life for—it’s not easy!" he sighed inwardly, full of unspeakable joy, humming a tune as he merrily headed towards the Judge’s office.

Before he could knock, the large door silently opened, and Judge Lu Huai’s lazy voice came, "There’s a big celebration today, have you thought of how to celebrate and share the joy with your good brothers?"

"Oh? You already know?" Qu Luming, not daring to speak loudly, sneaked in and glanced at the Book of Life and Death, tilting his chin and whispering, "Is it true? Let me have a look!"

The other quirked the corner of his mouth, smiling, "Do you understand it?"

"I don’t understand, but I’d love to see! Hurry up, hurry up, on which page am I?"

The Judge flipped the Book of Life and Death to the page where his name was recorded, pointing with his finger, "Didn’t realize you were so well hidden, reaching the Body Refining Realm yet pretending to be in the Soul Refining Realm, even I was fooled. But you can’t fool the Book of Life and Death!"

Qu Luming couldn’t understand the "Celestial Book," but still enjoyed it gleefully for a while.

"Today is truly a day of triple blessings..." He took out the Ninth Grade Pill Formula from his Storage Bag, shaking his right hand as he handed it over, "Look, the Pill Formula for the Nine Revolutions Dragon Saliva Pill, take it!"

The smile on the Judge’s face suddenly froze, followed by wild joy, as he carefully received and examined the Pill Formula, filled with disbelief, "Is this, is this real? Brother Qu, you’re not faking this, are you?"

Previously at a loss, even "threatening" with the information about the Life Origin was to get him to do his best in finding news about the Pill Formula. Who would’ve thought this one quietly accomplished great things and secured the Pill Formula!

But how should I thank him?

"Tsk! Listen to yourself—is that human speak? Could I lie to you?" Qu Luming lowered his voice, "No wonder it was hard to find from above; I went through great efforts to get it from where Myriad Realms’ Alchemists gather."

"How could I possibly thank you?"

"We’re brothers; why talk about thanks? Isn’t that unnecessary? It’s just you helping me, and I helping you." He thought to himself that since the Demon Realm Alliance funded it, he would gain a favor without being greedy, "Moreover, with the Pill Formula you can cover the deficit; once your cultivation succeeds in the future, I’d have accumulated great merit!"

He shifted the conversation, whispering, "Brother, remember to have someone duplicate the Pill Formula as a precaution.

I glanced over it earlier; the ingredients for refining the Nine Revolutions Dragon Saliva Pill are all rare items. Plus, it’s a Ninth Grade Elixir, even experienced Ninth Grade Alchemists can’t necessarily refine it easily.

Once you hand over this formula, who knows when you’ll get the elixir? Although hiring an expert to duplicate the formula costs money, it’s worth having a spare. Should you rely on the first one, you can still gather your ingredients and count on the second."

These words stemmed entirely from deducing Mr. Jiang’s expression when he obtained the Ninth Grade Pill Formula after seeking a Seventh Grade one—Mr. Jiang shouldn’t have a problem refining Ninth Grade Elixirs!

Therefore, since he finally got the formula for the Ninth Grade Dragon Saliva Pill, why not keep a backup? By then, he could ask Mr. Jiang to refine the elixir and gain more favor.

Remember, nothing is more valuable under Heaven than a debt of gratitude!

"I’ve learned a lot, thank you, Brother Qu!" Judge Lu Huai today was full of unexpected joy, holding the Pill Formula and thanking profusely, "If there’s any way you could use my help in the future, just say the word!

Just like Brother said, it’s you helping me, me helping you, mutually aiding and supporting each other! I’ll go replicate the formula right away; it’s indeed a wonderful day filled with joy!"

The two Ghost Cultivators who gained great benefits exchanged a smile, their hearty laughter echoing through the hall.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan was also smiling, hands behind his back, inspecting his own farmland, sighing, "People feel uplifted by joyous occasions, truly!"
