After a moment of hesitation, Qu Cheng made up his mind and swallowed the pellet. In a minute, a red glow began to envelop him. Following that, his face and muscles were covered in red patterns. Lu Li took a closer look and noticed they were small fire phoenixes. Lu Li was taken aback. The red pellet must have much to do with fire phoenix birth.
"Ah~"
Qu Cheng was shivering in pain. After the time for half an incense stick to burn, the red glow fainted and he returned to normal. He opened his eyes to look at Lu Ling, only now there wasn't cruelty in his eyes anymore. He knelt on one knee and said with respect, "Greetings, Saint Lord!"
"Okay now!"
Lu Ling smiled and said to Lu Li, "This is Fire Phoenix Soul Pellet. I used my Fire Phoenix Energy to make them. Anyone that is fed with this pellet will turn to be my slave."
"No wonder…"
Lu Li murmured. All his doubts were resolved.
