In the dark valley, the woman's soul was completely enveloped by Poison Demon's ghostly green flames. She let out a shrill scream.
Poison Demon completely refined the woman's soul. The Eon Ghost Monarch's soul was also devoured by Poison Demon.
Instantly, Yi Yun sensed Poison Demon's strength rapidly expand. Its body became more corporeal, as though it was a corporeal entity.
Poison Demon had been born for hundreds of millions of years. Over such a long period of time, its growth was extremely slow. It had never experienced such a huge leap in strength. And after absorbing the immense strength from the Eon Ghost Monarch, Poison Demon felt refreshed. It could not help but look intoxicated.
"Hahaha, what immense strength!"
Poison Demon laughed out loud. It suddenly realized that although it had been forced to sign a soul contract, following Yi Yun was not a bad choice. If it were alone, it would have found it difficult to obtain such a huge leap in strength.
"Devour the rest as well!" said Yi Yun.
At that moment, the Pillheart Sect only had three people left. The strongest, the dark-faced middle-aged man and Su Boyang, had their meridians crippled by Old Snake. They were unable to put up any resistance, much less Su Muyan.
"Thank you, Master!"
Upon hearing Yi Yun's order, Poison Demon laughed maniacally. It was like a feast had been delivered to it. It immediately split its body into three, transforming into three blobs of green flames that flew towards the trio.
"Little bastard, the Pillheart Sect will definitely skin you alive!"
Su Boyang cursed crazily but his venomous voice was quickly obliterated by the green flames. Following that, it turned into a shrill scream.
"You … all of you will die … a horrible death!"
Su Boyang's voice was already distorted but he continued screaming.
"Old fool, since you can scream so much, I'll let you scream a little longer," said Poison Demon with a chuckle.
The Poison Demon said with a chuckle. At this moment, the souls of the three people were all in the hands of the Poison Demon. He could torture them however he wanted. If these people just obediently died, he would directly refine them.
But for people like Su Boyang, who wanted to say such vicious words before his death, Poison Demon would give them a 'special treatment,' making them die a more painful death.
And the pain that came from the soul was several times more intense than being sliced into pieces.
Soon, Su Boyang suffered a complete mental breakdown. His psyche was scattered by the pain, so he was unable to continue shouting.
"What did you find?" Yi Yun asked.
"In reply to Master's question, they are all remnant memory fragments. They are not complete. What does Master want to know? I will help Master find out."
These soul fragments were all in a mess. They had only been sealed by the Poison Demon. If he wanted to read and digest them, he would not be able to complete it in a short period of time.
"I wish to know the origins of the Pillheart Sect's heritage, the Divine Alchemy Cauldron's core array formation, and a herb known as Unwithering Grass."
Yi Yun asked. These questions were what he was most concerned about. Yi Yun was especially interested in the "Unwithering Grass".
According to the directions Yi Yun had given, Poison Demon searched carefully and quickly informed Yi Yun of the results. Due to the soul contract, Poison Demon could share the information with Yi Yun with a mere thought.
However, the memories obtained from the soul search were too fragmented. It was impossible to obtain a complete heritage. Yi Yun could only confirm that the Pillheart Sect's heritage originated from the ruins left behind by the divine alchemist in the Sinkhole.
However, the Pillheart Sect did not completely rely on the divine alchemist's heritage. Over the tens of millions of years of development, the Pillheart Sect obtained more and more heritage. Some of the ancient heritage even made up for the shortcomings in the divine alchemist's manuals.
For example, the cultivation of the Unwithering Grass!
Back then, the divine alchemist did not study the Unwithering Grass in detail. He only determined that it was extremely rare and difficult to artificially grow.
However, the Pillheart Sect found a method to refine the Youth Regaining Pill on a large scale. Unfortunately, the Pillheart Sect's pill formula was severely flawed. It prevented the Unwithering Grass from being put to good use.
Apart from that, the Pillheart Sect had also gathered manuals that recorded the Divine Alchemy Cauldron's core array formation over the years. They even obtained the Divine Alchemy Cauldron's array formation fragments. If Yi Yun could obtain these manuals and fragments, he might even be able to repair the Divine Alchemy Cauldron.
"This Pillheart Sect really has quite a number of ancient heritage in their grasp. If I can obtain the Pillheart Sect's heritage and make up for the flaws in the divine alchemist's manuals, my alchemical skills will improve further."
Yi Yun muttered to himself as he inadvertently glanced at Old Snake.
And this glance made Old Snake extremely wary.
"Punk, why are you looking at me? Don't tell me you fancy something from the Pillheart Sect and want me to be your helper? I'm warning you, don't even think about it. Although I killed a few Pillheart Sect Elders, who knows how strong the most powerful old freak behind the Pillheart Sect is. Even if he can't beat me, I don't want to take action. Fighting him will only waste my lifespan. Punk, don't even think of using me as your hostage. "
Old Snake hurriedly made his stance clear to Yi Yun. He had always been a person who would not act unless he saw a rabbit.
Yi Yun stroked his chin and said leisurely, "Didn't you hear me ask about the Unwithering Grass? That's a type of longevity pill. If I can get a large amount of Unwithering Grass, I can refine this longevity pill on a large scale. I originally wanted to give you a few hundred of them, but it seems that you're not interested … "
"What? Longevity extending pills!? "
Old Snake's eyes widened. If there was anything in the world that attracted Old Snake, it was definitely methods to extend his lifespan and mend his foundation.
But under normal circumstances, the two were the same for Old Snake.
"Is there really such a thing? It can be refined on a large scale? Don't you lie to me! "
Old Snake knew that any pill that involved extending one's lifespan or mend one's foundation was extremely expensive. Due to the limitations of the materials, it was nearly impossible to refine them on a large scale.
Yi Yun said, "'Large scale' is relative. Even with 'Unwithering Grass', the cost of refining it is extremely high. Besides, these Longevity Extending Pills have great effects in the beginning, and the effects will decrease as time goes on."
Yi Yun spoke truthfully. No matter what pill it was, its effects would decrease with time. That was not a problem for Old Snake.
Old Snake clapped his hands. "Punk, tell me. What do you want me to do?"
Upon hearing Old Snake's words, Yi Yun rolled his eyes. The old man was too direct.
"Let's clean up the corpses first. We can talk when we return to the city!"
Having killed so many people from the Pillheart Sect, Yi Yun did not wish to stay any longer. It would be troublesome if the Pillheart Sect sent reinforcements.
"Alright."
Old Snake immediately released a few fireballs, burning all the corpses to ash. Following that, with a gust of wind, all the ashes dissipated. Not even a trace of blood was left behind. As for the signs of battle, he wiped them clean with a few casual punches. From the looks of it, Old Snake was very familiar with cleaning up the battlefield.
