Death… And Me Chapter 2926: Another Pill Deal

Chapter 2926: Another Pill Deal

Rean and Roan didn't panic. Their only concern was to enter that field filled with Spirits. At the moment, they were quite far away, and with their speed, probably only Stram might be able to pursue the two. If he did that, then the twins would have lured him away from his minions and could deal with him alone.

Of course, they also heard from Arlo that Stram has some way of contacting him, so there was still a risk of having to fight Arlo as well if that happened.

Rean stopped his Light and Divine Sense Bending skill, revealing his and Roan's presence. However, both Rean and Roan had completely different appearances now.

Roan, on the other hand, was curious. "How did you know we were here. Neither your sight nor your Spiritual Sense should have caught our presence."

Stram was slightly taken aback by the twins' calmness. The difference in cultivation between them was enormous. Nonetheless, he spoke back to them. "My Spiritual Sense indeed didn't catch you, and you were invisible as well. Unfortunately for you, my race's innate ability regarding souls is not something you can hide from."

Suddenly, Stram's star-like body began to s.h.i.+ne, illuminating the surroundings. *Pin!*

[Soul attack detected. The System has blocked the offense.]

Stram then gathered his Spiritual Energy and shot several Ice Icicles in the twins' direction. He just waited for the icicles to cut the twins to pieces and then check their bodies. However...

'Death Style, Reversive Arcs!'

The twins quickly used Roan's defensive skill, blocking all the icicles and corroding their energy. The twins' swords danced for a moment until the icicles ran out.

"What?!" Stram was genuinely shocked this time. Never in his life had he thought two kids in the Core and Soul Fusion Real Initial Stage could block his soul attack. "Who are you? Did Willot send you to keep an eye on me?" In the end, he connected the twins to Willot. After all, Arlo asked him to look for cultivators in the Soul Transformation Realm, not kids two realms below.

Rean had an idea. "Willot? We are on Dancio's side. Don't pretend you don't know about the struggles for the seat of Clan Master."

Stram began to go back to his spirits after hearing that. "Hmph! It is the same thing every two hundred years or so, why would I care. You are quite good at hiding, I give you that. I'll pretend we never saw each other. Bring your fight away from me."

It was then that Stram stopped and looked back. "By the way, was the dead guy Arlo asked about related to you?"

"Partially," Rean faintly smiled. "We were basically bait, though. Or do you think we could kill a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert?"

"You did defend against my icicles..." Stram commented. "Well, I didn't put much effort into that since I didn't expect you to be able to defend against my soul attack in the first place. What was it, one of those annoying Soul Protecting Treasures?"

"More or less," Rean shrugged, not giving a definitive answer. "Anyway, sir. We came here to talk to you about the Profound Soul Herbs."

Stram's mood immediately darkened. "You heard me; it is not time for the batch of herbs yet! I might be threatened by that guy called Arlo, but I haven't fallen enough to be threatened by kids yet. Go away!"

Rean shook his head. "You misunderstood, sir. We came here to offer a trade."

Stram was taken aback again. The Gondel Clan never offered trades; they just took what they wanted, and he had to comply with it. "Trade? What are you talking about?"

Rean looked at Roan, who understood his meaning and began to talk. "The Profound Soul Herbs are great for the soul, which explains why you value it so much. It is deeply connected to your own cultivation." Roan didn't even need to know what race Stram was from to understand that. "I can use one of those herbs to concoct a Soul Expansion Pill. Fortunately, I have all the materials necessary except the herbs. Such a pill will be at least a hundred times more efficient for your cultivation than all the herbs you have back there at the moment." Stram could see where Roan was coming from. "Hmph! a hundred times? As if I would believe such a thing that easily... but you did catch my interest. What are you looking for?"

"I need two batches of Profound Soul Herbs for myself," Roan went straight to the topic. "In exchange, I will concoct the pill for you."

"Is that so?" Stram still didn't believe it. "And let me guess, you want the payment first, then go back to the clan, and only then concoct the pill for me, right? Do you think I was born yesterday?"

"Who said anything about going back to the clan?" Roan shook his head. "I can concoct the pill right here and right now."

"This..." Stram was definitely a lot more interested now. "But how do I know this pill will be as efficient as you mentioned? Also, it could be poison as far as I'm concerned."

"The efficiency you will be able to feel once the pill is ready. It has that effect on the soul even without taking it in," Roan was confident. "As for whether it is poison or not, you can only trust me. But, how about you let me at least concoct the pill, and then you decide?"

Stram pondered a moment and looked at his spirit minions on the back. He was still in doubt if he should accept the offer even though it seemed a lot more advantageous for him at the moment. The main point was the twins' cultivation, so he was confident he could stop them if Rean and Roan tried to flee. But then again, they were kids. Could Roan truly concoct such a thing?

After struggling for a moment, Stram decided to give it a try. After all, it was just a single herb that Roan asked for. "Fine, but you have to concoct it here, as promised."

"We have a deal," Roan nodded with his cold expression. He never goes back on his word.
