However, such a bloody method, Ye Luoâs heart still finds it a bit hard to accept!
"Forget it, senior, tell me about the other material!"
Ao Long nodded. He didnât know how Ye Luo would decide, but actually, Ao Long preferred to see Ye Luo choose alchemy, because the path of the strong is just like this; either advancing by stepping on othersâ corpses or becoming a stepping stone on othersâ path!
Mercy? It will only make you die faster!
Ao Long didnât want Ye Luo to become someone elseâs stepping stone; he hoped Ye Luo could step forward on others!
To be the superior, not become someone elseâs servant!
"Kid, this second kind of elixir is called Soul Birth. Similarly, it is a sacrificial method. This kind of sacrifice involves stripping the souls of nine hundred ninety-nine people with Lion Tribe bloodline while they are alive, then before their souls disappear, sacrificing them to fuse these nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine souls into oneâa pure soul body without autonomous consciousness!"
Indeed, itâs like this again!
Ye Luo sighed silently in his heart. From the moment Ao Long mentioned the name, Ye Luo had guessed the result!
To refine such a blood-led Soul Birth elixir, it requires nearly twenty thousand lives!
Though Ao Long did not specify the minimum required strength of those to be sacrificed, Ye Luo knows that probably the stronger, the better!
Using twenty thousand people to refine a single elixir!
Can this not be called evil sorcery?
However, this happens to be a unique method of the Dragon Clan!
Originally, the Dragon Clan would refine such elixirs through special demon beasts they reared!
But unfortunately, Ye Luo can only refine by hunting other demon beasts or humans!
"Senior, let me think about it. Iâll give you an answer tomorrow!"
This time, Ye Luo must think carefully because this is twenty thousand people!
To sacrifice twenty thousand people for his own strength?
Is this right or wrong?
After all, Ye Luo is not a native of the Martial Realm. The so-called rules of the Martial Realm, even if Ye Luo knows them, it doesnât mean he can accept them!
And now, itâs a decision-making moment: to change or to stick to his true self?
Ye Luo is confused. This choice is not that easy to make!
Strength stained with blood?
Is this really what Ye Luo wants?
However, if Ye Luo does not become strong, then others will easily humiliate him!
What should he do?
Ye Luoâs mind was clouded with confusion. At this moment, no one could help Ye Luo, because this is Ye Luoâs choice, even directly deciding Ye Luoâs future path!
Thereâs a saying that one thought decides if you become a demon or a Buddha, and Ye Luo is now facing such a choice!
If he refines this elixir, the strength Ye Luo could gain might greatly enhance him in a short time!
However, having done it once means a second time, this is simply an evil method!
But, after all, this is also passed down from the Dragon Clan!
Is the Dragon Clan evil? Clearly not!
But Ye Luo may not possess the Dragon Clanâs strong self-control!
This does not mean Ye Luoâs self-control is poor, but indeed, such matters are uncertain, and once the precedent is set, controlling oneself later is almost impossible!
Ye Luo doesnât want to gamble, nor dare to gamble!
Because Ye Luo simply canât afford to gamble. Some things are like this. Once you start, in the face of that great temptation, few can resist!
Even Ye Luo also cannot guarantee he can withstand that immense pressure!
So, since this is the case, Ye Luo might as well resist the temptation from the start!
But truthfully, just let Zhuo Mu go like this?
Yet itâs not what Ye Luo wants!
After all, if he could obtain that special bloodline, Ye Luoâs strength could be increased multiple times over!
Unfortunately, some things are like this, frustrating or resentful, but after all, this is Ye Luoâs own choice!
Having made the decision, Ye Luo naturally wonât dwell on it further, nor does he mention refining the elixir to Ao Long.
However, Zhuo Mu certainly wonât be let go easily!
Itâs just that Ye Luo hasnât found a suitable way yet, but that doesnât mean Ye Luo will let her go.
Staying by Ye Luoâs side, temporarily watched by the Blood-kill Seven, might be a good choice!
Perhaps to avoid seeing Zhuo Mu which might remind Ye Luo of the elixir refining, Ye Luo didnât even want to meet Zhuo Mu and directly returned to the grand tent!
Now, the army is almost ready, so Ye Luo didnât hesitate and set out toward the Western Frontier!
The Demon King and others are stationed in the Northern Territory, because the Northern Territory is considered the most dangerous area, but actually, the Western Frontier is genuinely the most dangerous place.
At the same time, before the war arrives, itâs the place where Princess Yu invested the most strength!
The Western Frontier has a total of three hundred thousand soldiers guarding it, but this is not all, because inside the Western Frontier, there are numerous sect forces, making it the most heavily fortified area of the Da Yue Empire!
But itâs also because of this that it becomes the place where the enemy attacks most fiercely, concentrating most elite forces!
...
The regularly stationed Border Guard Legion at the Western Frontier is also known as the Yu Legion, for this legion is the one led by Princess Yu when she first commanded troops, and it is also the legion she personally formed!
Its numbers arenât many, less than twenty thousand, and divided into more than fifty posts for separate stationing!
Each post has only fifteen people, including one communication soldier, two logistics soldiers, two main and deputy captains, and ten warriors!
Months ago, this place was extremely peaceful, as here faced an Empire of the Human Race, and this Empire hadnât had a war with Da Yue Empire for a long time; indeed, both sides of the border left a one-hundred-mile-long isolation zone. This is the result of mutual agreement between the two empires, as such unoccupied isolation zones can reduce many unnecessary border conflicts, and naturally can avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings or wars!
However, even with such isolation zones, it canât hold back enemies deliberately looking for trouble!
The first outpost!
Not just because itâs at the most protruding position of the entire border line, but also because itâs a heroic outpost!
Here, countless times enemy attacks were discovered, countless times fighting bloody battles!
This is the place most desired by everyone in the Border Guard Legion. Although itâs tough here, itâs a heroic outpost, representing honor!
