Upon hearing Bai Yueyin's words, Yi Yun was somewhat surprised. He never expected Bai Yueyin to immediately promise him half a pool of Divine Stalactite Marrow. It was a huge sum of wealth.
Of course, everything depended on the Progenitor Poison. If not, ignoring the question of obtaining the Divine Stalactite Marrow pool, just the fact that Bai Yueyin could not recover before the unknown existence attacked again would put him at risk.
At that moment, Yi Yun had completely submerged himself in the divine pool. He powered the Azure Wood Divine Tree as its roots spread throughout the divine pool like octopuses. The Azure Wood Divine Tree contained immense vitality, but the thing that tainted the divine pool was the World Decay Poison, the decaying aura of a Great World. The two completely countered each other.
Ever since Yi Yun obtained the Azure Wood Divine Tree, including the time it took for the River of Forgetfulness's water, about two hundred years had passed. Back when the Azure Wood Great World was in ruins, the Azure Wood Divine Tree was still brimming with vitality. Its massive roots were still shackling the bronze giant.
Bit by bit, the Azure Wood Divine Tree absorbed the World Decay Poison in the Divine Stalactite Marrow, slowly purifying it. However, the mysterious person who refined the World Decay Poison was just too powerful. The process was not fast.
At this speed, it would take at least seven to eight days to completely purify it. Bai Yueyin clearly noticed the speed. If it took that long, it would be too slow. She needed to recuperate as soon as possible.
Yi Yun did not panic. With a shake of his hand, a black flame appeared. It was none other than the Heretical God Fire Seed.
In the 'divine alchemist's notes', there were records of the World Decay Poison. Naturally, there were refinement methods as well. As for the Heretical God Fire Seed, it could burn everything. When Yi Yun entered the poison pool, he had used the Heretical God Fire Seed to protect himself.
"Go!"
Yi Yun waved his hand as the Heretical God Fire Seed spread out. It enveloped a blob of Divine Stalactite Marrow and began slowly refining it.
With sizzling sounds, large amounts of the World Decay Poison were burned to ashes by the Heretical God Fire Seed. However, the Divine Stalactite Marrow remained unaffected.
The Alchemy God's Canon stated that the Divine Stalactite Marrow couldn't be used to refine medicine. It could only be consumed directly or used to wash the body. The reason was that burning it would refine the medicinal properties of the Divine Stalactite Marrow.
Bai Yueyin naturally knew this as well. When she saw Yi Yun use such a method to refine the poison, she imagined that he would destroy a lot of the Divine Stalactite Marrow. She never expected Yi Yun to have such perfect control over the Heretical God Fire Seed. The flames seemed to have a life of their own as they accurately enveloped the Divine Stalactite Marrow. They completely burned away the toxic components without damaging the Divine Stalactite Marrow.
As time passed, the color of the Divine Stalactite Marrow that was enveloped by the Heretic God Flame became lighter and lighter, slowly turning into a pure milky white color.
He's also an alchemist?
Bai Yueyin was slightly taken aback. Only an alchemist could do that. She never expected Yi Yun to possess strength that far exceeded his age at such a young age. Not only that, he also knew alchemy.
With the addition of the Heretical God Fire and the Azure Wood Divine Tree working in tandem, the refinement speed was indeed a lot faster. But even so, it would take about four to five days to completely refine the Divine Stalactite Marrow in the pool.
That was still a little too long.
At that moment, a green jar flew out of Yi Yun's body. The moment it appeared, it effused a sinister aura.
The jar was none other than the urn Yi Yun had previously obtained. It contained the ashes of an ancient mighty figure.
After the urn appeared, it began to tremble violently. Yi Yun could sense that Poison Demon was extremely excited inside the urn. It was eager to escape.
"Master, I can sense that this poison is extremely nourishing to me!" Poison Demon was originally in slumber, but after it was summoned by Yi Yun, it sensed the World Decay Poison in the Divine Stalactite Marrow pool. It began making a ruckus in Yi Yun's mind. Its eyes emitted a green glow as though it was a hungry ghost that had been starving for days and suddenly saw a table of Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Yi Yun opened the urn as Poison Demon let out a strange cry. Its body transformed into a green stream of light as it plunged into the Divine Stalactite Marrow pool!
This Poison Devil was originally formed from poison, so it was poison itself. It was impervious to all poisons. It didn't care about the World Decay Poison and directly devoured the Divine Stalactite Marrow in large mouthfuls, absorbing all the poison within it.
Large amounts of the World Decay Poison settled in Poison Demon's body, but it did not cause it any harm. Instead, it nourished Poison Demon, making it stronger.
And as Poison Demon's strength increased, the speed at which it absorbed the World Decay Poison increased.
At this speed, the Heretical God Fire, the Azure Wood Divine Tree, and Poison Demon's pincer attack would take at most two days to completely refine all the Divine Stalactite Marrow in the pool.
And in fact, once a portion of the divine pool was cleared, Bai Yueyin could begin cultivating. It did not take up much of her time.
Seeing the poison pool being purified at a discernible pace, Bai Yueyin was astonished. Yi Yun had way too many tricks up his sleeve!
Typical Supremacies would avoid the pool of World Decay Poison when they saw it. Even experts who were well-versed in pharmacology would probably be helpless. However, Yi Yun had used three methods to purge the poison. Most impressive of all, he could use all three methods together. The Azure Wood Divine Tree and Poison Demon were independent, so Yi Yun did not need to split his attention.
Bai Yueyin's gaze could not help but land on Yi Yun. At that moment, Yi Yun's body was enveloped in the Azure Wood Divine Tree's green light. His black hair fluttered in the wind as a Divine Stalactite Marrow sphere floated in front of him. It was being burned by the Heretical God Fire, while the green Poison Demon flew around Yi Yun.
How did this young man develop? Bai Yueyin had established her divine kingdom for tens of millions of years, but despite how vast the Seven Desolates continent was, it had never produced such a freak.
Slowly, Poison Demon's speed of purging the poison exceeded the speed at which Yi Yun's Heretical God Fire could purge the poison. Furthermore, it was still increasing.
This was not only a surprise to Bai Yueyin, even Poison Demon's master, Yi Yun. He realized that the World Decay Poison seemed to originate from the same source as Poison Demon. And it was because of this that Poison Demon could easily devour the World Decay Poison. Furthermore, its strength grew rapidly.
"Could it be …"
An idea suddenly flashed in Yi Yun's mind. Poison Demon was born from the green urn. The ancient mighty figure in the urn had died of poison. After his death, his body was refined and burned but the poison did not dissipate. Instead, it remained in the urn.
And the Poison Demon that Yi Yun had subdued was born from the urn's poison.
This made Yi Yun inevitably make connections. Perhaps the mighty figure that died in the urn hundreds of millions of years ago had been killed by that mysterious person. And it was because of this that Poison Demon shared the same source as the World Decay Poison in the Divine Stalactite Marrow pool!
