After obtaining the Emperor Origin Blood Essence Fruit, Mo Yu shifted his attention to the other items inside the spatial ring.

As expected, the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill was also inside the ring.

While fiddling with the purple pill in his hand, Mo Yu suddenly enveloped it with his soul power.

During the careful inspection of the pill, a hidden soul imprint appeared within his senses.

"Just as I suspected—Fa Ma already tampered with the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill. Yan Li probably never imagined that this pill had a soul imprint placed on it during the Alchemist Grand Meeting."

As the president of the Alchemist Association in the Jia Ma Empire, how could Fa Ma lack cunning and precautions? Even if Mo Yu hadn't interfered, Yan Li likely wouldn't have left the empire alive.

Mo Yu shook his head, ceasing further contemplation. Now that the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill was in his possession, he naturally wouldn't leave the soul imprint intact.

Fortunately, although the imprint was planted by Fa Ma, he had used minimal effort since the conference was a public event. Removing the imprint wouldn't pose much difficulty for Mo Yu.

After spending a dozen breaths of effort, the soul imprint finally dissipated entirely.

With the imprint removed, Mo Yu relaxed and transferred all the items from Yan Li's ring into his own.

Noticing the time, Mo Yu realized the Alchemist Grand Meeting was nearing its end, meaning Fa Ma and the others would soon be free to act. Thus, Mo Yu didn't linger any longer and swiftly returned to his rented inn.

Upon entering his room, Mo Yu shut the door tightly and made his way to the inner chamber. After catching his breath, he placed the Emperor Origin Blood Essence Fruit on the table.

Seated at the table, Mo Yu stared at the exquisite fruit, a smile forming on his lips.

"Searching high and low only to find it without effort… Who would've thought I'd obtain this from a hidden agent of the Chu Yun Empire?"

"Not bad, kid."

A voice suddenly echoed. She Lao materialized without warning, his gaze fixed on the vibrant fruit. A trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes as he praised Mo Yu.

"Thank you, She Lao. It was my duty," Mo Yu replied with a light smile, waving off the compliment.

"Heh, with this Emperor Origin Blood Essence Fruit, I'll even be able to help you fend off a Dou Zong expert in the future," She Lao said confidently, running his hand over the vibrant fruit.

Hearing this, Mo Yu's expression brightened.

In the northwestern continent, Dou Zong experts were considered elite. If She Lao could recover to the Dou Zong level, Mo Yu's safety would be significantly enhanced.

She Lao placed his hand on the fruit again, and a faint purple-gold light emanated, accompanied by a warm sensation.

As the light spread, the fruit—once as brilliant as a red gem—began to wither rapidly. Yet, though the fruit withered, the energy within it didn't dissipate. Instead, a rich fragrance, akin to an ancient brew unearthed from deep underground, slowly permeated the room.

Inhaling the thick fragrance, Mo Yu felt refreshed, as if all his exhaustion from traveling across realms vanished instantly.

"As expected from a rare treasure. Even the scent has the effect of clearing fatigue," Mo Yu chuckled. "Yan Li truly gifted me a gem. If not for time constraints, I'd consider erecting a tombstone for him."

While Mo Yu was lost in thought, the purple-gold light from She Lao's hand grew brighter, intensifying the extraction process.

Half an hour later, the light faded, leaving the once-vibrant fruit a shriveled husk. Small droplets of red liquid seeped from the dried fruit, gleaming with a mysterious radiance.

As the last vestiges of the fruit's essence gathered into tiny red beads, they fused into a single blood-colored pearl, dazzling and enticing.

She Lao opened his mouth wide and swallowed the blood pearl in one gulp.

With the pearl consumed, She Lao closed his eyes, as if beginning the process of absorption.

Seeing this, Mo Yu realized that She Lao was refining the fruit's energy and chose not to disturb him. Instead, he found a seat and patiently waited.

Time passed, and night fell quietly. Without realizing it, Mo Yu had already been sitting for over an hour.

Just as Mo Yu thought She Lao's bloodline restoration would be a lengthy process, a sudden change occurred.

"What's happening?"

A terrifying wave of bloodline energy exploded from She Lao's body, radiating outward in ripples.

The abrupt surge of power made Mo Yu's face pale. If struck by this energy wave, his body would be obliterated instantly!

Mo Yu's eyes narrowed as he stared at the oncoming ripple, suppressing the panic in his heart. There was no way he could escape such an all-encompassing attack, but he trusted She Lao wouldn't harm him.

As the ripple neared Mo Yu, it suddenly trembled and vanished just inches from his body. The energy wave shot past him, surging toward the ceiling.

"Boom!"

The bloodline power blasted against the ceiling, but oddly, it didn't destroy anything in its path. Instead, a shadowy figure was violently ejected from the darkness above, coughing up blood.

Under the moonlight, the figure's weathered, dusky face was illuminated—an old man, his expression pained.

"Who dares lurk in the shadows? Reveal yourself!"

She Lao opened his eyes, his forked tongue flickering menacingly. A dangerous smile crept onto his lips as he addressed the figure above.

Mo Yu was stunned by the sudden intrusion and realized that someone had been spying on him in secret.

The thought of being watched caused Mo Yu's expression to darken. He despised being spied upon more than anything.

"Ha… I'm getting old. To think I've fallen to the point of being discovered so easily. Well, since I've been found, I'll show myself."

The air inside the room twisted strangely, and in the blink of an eye, a black-robed figure emerged from the void.

The shadow materialized fully, revealing himself to Mo Yu.

Mo Yu frowned at the figure, but when he caught a glimpse of the man's aged face, his anger slowly subsided, replaced by a subtle expression.

"To encounter a Seven-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent with an ancient bloodline here in the northwest… Though you're currently just a soul body, at your peak, you must've rivaled a Dou Zun expert.

"Even in the stronghold-filled Central Plains, your strength would not go unnoticed," the black-robed figure remarked, admiration evident in his tone.

"You're from the Central Plains? Why were you spying on Mo Yu?" She Lao's eyes narrowed, exuding a dangerous aura.

The old man paused briefly before offering a wry smile.

He slowly pulled back his hood, revealing an ordinary but shrewd face that suggested a wealth of experience.

Turning toward Mo Yu, the old man smiled warmly.

"You must be Young Master Mo Yu. My name is Ling Ying. Before I came here, the young lady specifically asked me to send her greetings to you."
