Chapter 1210: 1219 One Condition

1219 One Condition

Ryu truly thought that he had been finished being taken off guard by this woman. But she once again rendered him without the words to speak. It simply didn't make sense how this woman could go from being flustered speaking about the most mundane things, to suddenly asking something like this so boldly.

What are you talking about?" Ryu asked.

"Aren't people with common interests supposed to become Dao Companions? I've never seen someone with my level of skill in alchemy, but you come very close. And, only someone who truly loves alchemy could possibly concoct such a thing. Doesn't it make sense to be Dao Companions?"

Ryu looked at the Favor Alchemy Sky God who seemed to be quite serious before he shook his head.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I have four wives and two concubines. In addition, I do not love alchemy, it is a means to an end and I happen to have the skill for it."

"Nonsense! You definitely love alchemy, I can see it in your eyes. You're a person who loves challenges, you love information, you love deciphering said information... You love being the smartest person in the room, having the sharpest mouth. Something happened in your life that suppressed this side of you, but as time passes, people don't change much, you will revert back to the mean soon."

Ryu's gaze flashed. For a long moment, he couldn't refute, and even when he wanted to speak, the Favor Alchemy Sky God had already continued.

"Also, what is this about wives and concubines? So what, is that what a Dao Companion really is? The point of a Dao Companion is to be a companion in the Dao. Most people use that term too freely. The true root of it is to share a similar foundation and a similar end goal."

"From what I can tell, of your women, only one of them is aligned with you so perfectly. Isn't it simple, then? Just give me time and you can pick one of us as your official Dao Companion! She started earlier, it's not fair!"

Ryu had been prepared to react quite coldly. In a situation like this, a Sky God of the Favor Alchemist's caliber would most definitely say some nonsense about being far better than his wives anyway, but her approach was different from his expectations. At the very least, he could respect it.

Ryu already knew who she was talking about, there could only be one: Ailsa.

"I'll never choose just one, you can forget about this. Also, I have no intentions of taking you in as a Dao Companion just because you say so, I don't even know you."

The Favor Alchemy Sky God bit her lip in a frown. Eventually, she sighed and fell into a seated position on the wide stairs. She felt a bit helpless at this point.

Ryu watched her for a long while before he opened his mouth to speak again.

"Tell me the truth, why are you really here? Although finding another body is almost impossible, for someone like you it shouldn't be the case, right?"

The Favor Alchemy Sky God's eyes flickered with a hint of sorrow.

"I reached the end of my lifespan, there was no escaping it. Putting my soul into another body would have just caused me to die just the same."

"Then what is the difference between then and now?"

The Favor Alchemy Sky God sighed a deeper sigh.

"It isn't that I cannot find a body, it's that I cannot find one as perfectly suited to me as Flowing Frost's. Because she ended her life in her prime, while I lost mine at the end of mine, we are like two halves of a whole. If I enter her body and swallow a Heavenly Favor Pill, I can snatch the Favor that should have been hers and claim her lifespan for myself."

"After that, so long as I break through and return to the Transcended Sky God Realm and step beyond and finally reach Omniscience, I can break free of her Fate entirely and reclaim my own, setting me back on the right track."

Ryu's eyes widened.

When the Favor Alchemy Sky God had said he was only close to her level of skill, although he hadn't said anything, he didn't really believe it. However, hearing what her magnum opus could do, Ryu realized just how far the gap really was. In fact, her saying close was only giving him the benefit of the doubt and adjusting for the difference in cultivation.

If what the Favor Alchemy Sky God said was true, then even if Ryu reached the Transcended Sky God Realm one day, there was no telling if he'd ever catch up to her.

Using a pill to shift one's Fate onto your own, cheating death and extending your lifespan... If others knew that such a thing was possible, what kind of shocking abilities the Favor Alchemy Sky God had...

Ryu took a breath and exhaled. This naïve woman before him was indeed the strongest alchemist he had ever come across. Let alone come across, she was the strongest he had ever even read about or heard legends of.

How was it that this woman was stuck at the Transcended Sky God Realm? Was crossing the Sky God barriers truly so difficult?

'... The more talented you are... The more difficult it is...' Ryu thought to himself.

"...So what you mean to say is that the reason you couldn't find a body is because you specifically needed this one?"

The Favor Alchemy Sky God waved a hand. "Of course, finding any normal body is easy. I can even concoct a pill that a soul could swallow to reform their body. It's just that that pill would be useless to me."

"So that means you can make my concubine a body of her own?"

"Sure, if she pays a proper price. I don't work for free!" The Favor Alchemy Sky God mumbled.

Ryu almost rolled his eyes. This woman was truly a dunce, wasn't the solution right in front of her? Yet she was still being like this.

"Alright, I accept. However, in this exchange, you owe me, remember that."

The Favor Alchemy Sky God looked up with an excited expression, nearly spilling forward. However, Ryu's thoughts were elsewhere.

'... Eska's life should have reached its end already too, so how is it that she can live without special methods...?'

"There is a condition." Ryu suddenly said.

"Anything!" The Favor Alchemy Sky God said quickly.

"Just a question... Are you human?"
