Summary

Mei Lun engages the Six-Armed Serpent Demon, questioning its desire for death versus life. The demon, a battle fanatic named Barbara, initially seeks a glorious death but is persuaded by Mei Lun to consider survival as a sign of true courage. Mei Lun offers a deal: if Barbara helps him with three tasks over ten years, he will spare its life. After some hesitation, Barbara agrees and signs an Abyssal Contract, ensuring its safety. As the battle continues, Mei Lun's stealthy actions lead to chaos among the demons, who suspect each other of theft. Meanwhile, Mei Lun returns to Vero City to sell resources he acquired from the demons, including rare items like Soul Sand, which is valuable to the Aoi Clan. He also discovers a unique item, Spirit Tree Liquid, which has potential in potion crafting. Mei Lun contemplates establishing an alchemy workshop and delegates further exploration of a mystic realm related to alchemy to his subordinates, hoping to uncover valuable potion recipes.
