Gongyang Jin followed the instruction and pulled open her clothes, revealing her smooth, fair back.

On skin as lustrous as suet jade, there was a single horrifying wound emitting a faint black aura.

"You have some nerve, daring to take advantage of me. Once you finish looking, I'll ruin your eyes."

Gongyang Jin smiled faintly and said.

If she could keep her mouth shut, from a distance, she would absolutely be a stunning beauty capable of toppling nations.

Unfortunately, once she spoke, the whole atmosphere changed dramatically.

That kind of smiling, casually murderous witch—such a description fits Gongyang Jin.

Han Zhan pressed his lips together without speaking.

He couldn't tell when Gongyang Jin was telling the truth or lying, so he chose to ignore her.

Han Zhan placed his hand on Gongyang Jin's wound, causing her whole body to tremble slightly.

Not due to pain.

Gongyang Jin's eyes became dangerous; from childhood to now, especially after awakening her contracted spirit talent, no one had dared to touch her like this. Not even holding hands was possible, let alone skin contact.

If it hadn't been Han Zhan, anyone else would have already been chopped to pieces.

Han Zhan could also sense the suppressed killing intent from Gongyang Jin, and he dared not hesitate, immediately summoning the Fu Xi Zither once again.

The zither tune "Clear Heart Powder" resounded once more.

At such close range, the dispersing effect of the Clear Heart Powder melody was even stronger. The black aura lingering on the back was driven away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, once the Clear Heart Powder tune ended, the dispersed black aura slowly began to gather again behind Gongyang Jin.

"I tried; it can be suppressed but not dispelled," Han Zhan concluded, which was not far from Gongyang Jin's expectations. In fact, she was quite satisfied if it could suppress the wound.

Just as Gongyang Jin was about to put on her clothes, Han Zhan suddenly called out to her.

"Wait a moment. I have another method we can try."

No sooner had Han Zhan finished speaking than an ancient cauldron began to manifest its true form next to the Fu Xi Zither in the air—Shennong Cauldron!

Since Gongyang Jin's back had a wound, as long as it is a wound, it can surely be healed.

As the top-notch divine weapon for alchemy and healing among the Ten Great Ancient Divine Soldiers, Han Zhan decided to give it a try.

Seeing the second strange weapon Han Zhan summoned, a gleam flashed in Gongyang Jin's clever eyes.

"You really do keep surprising me. As a Spirit Contract Master, how did you manage to contract two spirits?"

Truly worthy of being a Tier Eight ultimate power, Gongyang Jin could immediately discern the difference in aura from Han Zhan's two different divine weapons.

Thus deducing that Han Zhan had contracted with two spirits!

"Didn't your teacher ever teach you not to reveal these things easily, or you would be in great danger?"

Han Zhan remained silent.

In fact, he had his own plans.

If he could really heal Gongyang Jin, then his "worth" in her eyes would rise sharply.

Initially, he was just a dispensable "combat support"; Gongyang Jin dared to casually say things like "agree or be killed."

But upon discovering that he could suppress the hidden ailments on her body with the Fu Xi Zither, even when Han Zhan touched her back, this Tier Eight ultimate power could only suppress her killing intent, issuing threats like "blinding his eyes."

This showed that Han Zhan's value kept rising in Gongyang Jin's eyes, increasing his security.

Proving one's value is a form of "investment."

Thinking of this, Han Zhan urged the Shennong Cauldron, which began to voraciously absorb the spiritual power of the billions of Yexieqi hatchlings Gongyang Jin had previously slain!

What entered the cauldron was the spiritual power from those corpses not yet fully dissipated.

Even the smallest mosquito is still meat.

Not to mention the billions of the Snake Race, whose contained spiritual power was already a considerable figure.

If it were the Longevity Company, it wouldn't be able to accomplish what the Shennong Cauldron was doing now.

Extracting spiritual power from billions of Snake Race materials—not to mention the low feasibility and high time cost—any sane person wouldn't choose to do that.

But for the Shennong Cauldron, it was nothing more than a simple operation.

Gongyang Jin could sense the ancient cauldron suspended in the sky was drawing in the flesh of the billions of Yexieqi hatchlings.

She didn't know what Han Zhan was planning, but she could feel the burgeoning spiritual power in the Shennong Cauldron, so she refrained from speaking further to disturb Han Zhan.

After absorbing all the spiritual power from the Yexieqi hatchling corpses, Han Zhan activated the Shennong Cauldron again.

This time, he intended to use the newly awakened Tier Three talent of the Shennong Cauldron, [Creation of Living Beings]!

Han Zhan's hands quickly formed seals.

The Shennong Cauldron, originally upright, suddenly inverted, now facing downward.

It precisely hovered just over Gongyang Jin's head.

"Creation of Living Beings!"

With a clear shout from Han Zhan, an intensely dense white mist began to pour like a pillar, infusing entirely into Gongyang Jin's body!

Creation of Living Beings, as the Shennong Cauldron's most potent restoration method, made even the Tier Eight ultimate power that was Gongyang Jin feel a surge of immense restorative power.

She felt the vast healing force rushing entirely towards her back, and not just that—even the old hidden wounds and injuries within her body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The wound left by the Tier Nine Insect Emperor [Nightmare] was also gradually recovering!

Gongyang Jin now felt as if she were soaking in warm springs, her whole body enveloped in warmth, an unprecedented sense of comfort sweeping over her.

As the Shennong Cauldron finished channeling the last bit of spiritual power and ceased infusion,

Gongyang Jin felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

But she quickly came to her senses, instinctively reaching to touch her back, where the horrendous wound had shrunk by at least half under the treatment of Creation of Living Beings!

Even the speed at which the black aura reconvened had slowed significantly.

"It can be healed!" Gongyang Jin stood up incredulously, turning to face Han Zhan behind her.

Seeing her suddenly turn around, Han Zhan's face turned slightly red.

"Uh, you should put your clothes on first..." Han Zhan was not quite a gentleman, but he simply feared Gongyang Jin might come to her senses and kill him in a fit of rage.

As it turned out, he was overthinking it.

Having proven his ability to heal Gongyang Jin's stubborn ailments, Han Zhan's worth in her heart increased by many levels.

"Do it again!" Gongyang Jin, no longer calm, urged Han Zhan eagerly.

Han Zhan immediately shook his head and said, "Creation of Living Beings isn't so easily performed. As you saw, I used my talent to devour the flesh of billions of the Snake Race to gain the spiritual power to do it. To perform it again now would require you to bring me that much flesh again."

"Weren't we going to intercept and kill the Yexieqi hatchlings? Let's go now!" Gongyang Jin said instinctively.

With a Tier Eight enforcer, isn't that just right?
