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 I 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. "I 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.
