The old man looked at Kong Rui in admiration as he said with some relief, “You! You're indeed much smarter than that idiot Ding Mao!”

“What was used on him wasn't the real Soul Return Pill, but a replica with an effect similar to that of the Soul Return Pill!”

When she heard the old man's words, Kong Rui's mouth fell open in shock, and she blinked as she asked, “Replica? How can such a thing be replicated?!”

“Do you know where 1 can find the Soul Return Pill in this world?” The old man didn't answer Kong Rui's question, but only continued to ask.

Kong Rui was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. “1 don't know!”

The old man pressed his hand on the smoke pot and suddenly took two more sips. The smoke leaves were burned by the flames in the smoke pot and produced thick smoke. Kong Rui didn't rush the old man and only waited for his answer.

The old man placed the tobacco pouch aside before saying, “Although the Soul Return Pill is a forbidden medicine, someone still refined it a long time ago. Moreover, it was fought over in the five continents for a long time.”

“It's said that there are only three Soul Pills in the world now. One is in the hands of the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect, Huo Xiao, and one is in the hands of the Demon Clan's Poison Master, and the other…”

“Where's the other one?” After Kong Rui listened attentively, she immediately asked.

“There's another one that's missing, but someone said that it's in the hands of the Valley Master of Ghost Valley!” As the old man spoke, his expression became even more mysterious.

“Ghost Valley?” Kong Rui didn't expect Ghost Valley to be involved.

When the old man saw Kong Rui's expression, although he was puzzled, he asked, “You know about Ghost Valley?”

Kong Rui's eyes flickered, but she didn't show any panic. “1 heard that there's such a place, but didn't they say that no one can step foot in Ghost Valley and Ghost Valley rarely participates in the affairs of the five continents?”

The old man looked at Kong Rui in admiration and smiled in surprise as he said, “You're really surprising!”

“Alright! Then I'll tell you about the Soul Return Pill!”

Kong Rui immediately listened attentively.

“It's said that this Soul Pill was refined by Ghost Valley. At that time, a total of five were refined.

“However, for some reason, it was stolen by someone who broke into Ghost Valley.” The old man shook his head and said.

“After that, various disputes over the Soul Return Pill arose in the five continents…”

Kong Rui opened her mouth but didn't ask.

The old man naturally knew what she wanted to ask, so he smiled and continued, “Two of these five Soul Return Pills were destroyed in the process of fighting. One of them disappeared after the Poison Master was knocked into the Demon Abyss.”

“As for the other two, it's said that one was found by the people of Ghost Valley, but the other is missing.”

“It seems that the other one was snatched by the queen!”

As Kong Rui listened to the old man's description, she could imagine that many people had died because of the Soul Pill.

But why did the queen want the pill?

If the Soul Return Pill in the queen's hand was still there, then Wen Qiong…

Kong Rui's eyes widened as she asked the old man, “Can the Soul Return Pill revive people?”

When the old man heard this, he only shook his head. “What's the use of the Soul Return Pill? It's just a rumor within the five continents.”

“No one has seen the effect of the Soul Return Pill with their own eyes, nor have any dead people been saved by it.”

Kong Rui pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

The old man ignored her and stood up to walk to Stone's side. “It's just that this kid is a little unlucky. Although this replica can let people 'survive', it's only in the state of the living dead.”

“When a person's spiritual sense is shackled to the point of death, recalling everything else they have experienced will only make them even more confused.”

Upon hearing the old man's words, Kong Rui clenched her fists.

Stone's situation was clearly caused by the Li family..
