If Yi Yun used the Purple Crystal to absorb the herb's energy, it would attract the attention and suspicion of the Tai Ah Divine City's alchemists.
But in this situation, the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng was already severely damaged. If Yi Yun absorbed the herbal essence, no one would suspect him.
Of course, Yi Yun could only do this once in a while. He could not bring back a herb that was severely damaged every time. And a damaged herb's value would be greatly reduced. The dragon scale runes that the Tai Ah Divine City would pay would also be much lesser.
In short, doing this did not bring many benefits to Yi Yun.
Under the Purple Crystal's control, the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's herbal essence was not wasted. All of it was absorbed by Yi Yun. The energy condensed into light dots that looked like dancing pixies.
Just as Yi Yun was about to absorb the energy, the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng, which was like a piece of dead wood, suddenly burrowed into the ground!
This Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng was still waiting for an opportunity to escape despite being so heavily injured.
But it was useless. In less than a breath's time after the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng escaped, a black light flashed and a light screen appeared out of thin air, sealing the area within a hundred feet radius.
"Peng!"
The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng hit the light screen and bounced back.
This was a cicada array used to seal spiritual items. If the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng was in its peak condition, it could escape this array. But now, it was impossible.
The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng had never suffered such serious injuries before. Its mind was in a mess and it could feel its energy being drained bit by bit. The energy was slowly drifting towards Yi Yun.
Yi Yun held the Thousand Army Saber. He slowly walked towards the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng.
He did not hold back. The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng was very cunning. Yi Yun was even considering if he should cut it into pieces, or else it would slip away midway. Then all his efforts would be for naught.
At this moment, the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng suddenly let out a baby-like scream. It charged towards Yi Yun. It condensed the remaining pure Yang Qi in its body into a spiritual sword and stabbed towards Yi Yun's eyebrows!
It was staking it all on one throw and fighting to the death!
Without any hesitation, Yi Yun slashed down with the Thousand Army Saber!
"Ka-cha!"
One side was an arrow at the end of its flight, while the other was waiting at ease. The result of the collision was without any suspense. The golden sword shattered, and the Thousand Army Saber slashed down!
Bang!
The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng was swept away by the Thousand Army Saber!
Yi Yun did not choose to split the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng into two, as its value would be greatly reduced.
However, Yi Yun realized that even so, the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's spiritual awareness was rapidly weakening. It seemed to be dying.
The death of a stalk of Primordial Herb meant that the intelligence it had cultivated for thousands of years would disappear.
To this. Yi Yun did not have any mercy. It was a life and death battle between him and the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng. If he failed to kill the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng, Instead, he was subdued by the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's illusions. Then, his fate would be to become nourishment for the Blood Yang Flower.
Yi Yun looked at the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng. He discovered that the luster on its surface was gradually dimming. Streaks of pure energy. Gradually leaving it, it didn't want to live anymore.
He was captured to be concocted into medicine. It was better to just die.
"Hmm? This energy? "
Yi Yun grabbed the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's rhizome. In the Purple Crystal's vision, he could see a pure purple energy emitting from the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's wound. This energy was like a Essence Qi Beacon that had condensed into one.
This was the first time Yi Yun had seen an energy beacon-like form.
The energy he had seen before was in the form of light dots.
Yi Yun hesitated for a moment before using the Purple Crystal Origins as a medium to guide the Beacon Smoke, along with the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's energy beacons, into his body.
Immediately, a herbal fragrance filled his nostrils. It was extremely comfortable!
Yi Yun took advantage of this moment to quickly take out a square foot jade box.
This box was made of Lotus Flower Jade. It could preserve the herbal essence to the greatest extent.
The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng was already severely damaged. It was unrealistic to completely preserve the herbal essence, so he could only store as much as he could.
Whatever he could not store, Yi Yun used the Purple Crystal to absorb it.
As the energy beacons entered his body, Yi Yun felt his limbs heat up. The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's herbal essence began to take effect.
But what surprised Yi Yun the most was that the shape of the energy beacons was completely different from the energy beacons.
This energy flowed into Yi Yun's soul.
"Boom!"
The moment the energy entered Yi Yun's soul, he felt his soul tremble. Following that, in Yi Yun's mind, there were many illusions.
These illusions were messy. Some were scenes from the Divine wilderness and the Tai Ah Divine City, some were the difficult lives of Yi Yun and his sister in the Lian tribal clan, and there were also bits and pieces of Yi Yun's life in his previous life.
Oh? This is …
Seeing these messy illusions, Yi Yun suddenly understood that this purple smoke-like energy was the spiritual energy left behind by the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng after its intelligence was destroyed!
Although the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng was a herb, after it developed a spiritual consciousness, it had extremely strong spiritual energy.
If not, it would not be able to create illusions.
Spiritual energy was the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's attack and self-defense method. After the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng died, its shattered spiritual energy was the best medicine to nourish the soul.
Yi Yun was overjoyed. He began to absorb the energy calmly. Suddenly, his soul began to flow. The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's spiritual energy was like a spring spring, cleansing and nourishing Yi Yun's soul. It gave Yi Yun an indescribable sense of comfort.
Faintly, Yi Yun felt that his soul had undergone a slight change, but he did not know what this change meant.
At this moment, other than the spiritual energy, the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's herbal essence began to take effect. It flowed into Yi Yun's meridians, emitting a faint tiger's roar. An extreme Yang aura surged throughout Yi Yun's body.
The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng contained rich pure Yang energy. This energy was the essence that the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng had accumulated over a thousand years of absorbing Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. It had been purified countless times, so every bit was extremely precious.
Slowly, Yi Yun's body began to emit a hot mist. His skin turned red, as if he had been scalded by boiling water.
The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's medicinal properties were Yang, and it was late in the night, so the Extreme Yin Qi was thick. Within Yi Yun's body was a Yang fire, while outside his body was a rolling Yin Qi. Unknowingly, the Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang energies were intertwining within Yi Yun's body.
Under Yi Yun's deliberate manipulation, the two energies formed a miraculous Yin-Yang cycle.
Yi Yun's body was hot on the inside and cold on the outside. It was as if he had fallen into an icehouse and a furnace.
As the herbal essence was digested, black blood seeped out of Yi Yun's pores. This was the injuries and blood clots that had accumulated in Yi Yun's body over the past six months. Now that the herbal essence had forced them out, Yi Yun felt refreshed.
His muscles became stronger under the tempering of the herbal essence. His bones and blood also grew vigorously as the herbal essence entered his body.
This process lasted for an unknown period of time. Yi Yun was completely immersed in his own world.
From late in the night to dawn.
Then from sunrise to noon …
The sun was high up in the sky. The Yin Qi on the cliff had long been swept away. Yi Yun sat on the cliff motionlessly like a statue.
The absorption of the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's herbal essence was a slow process. It was after all a primordial herb. Back then, Yi Yun had absorbed the three-headed lion roc's energy for two hours. It took him an entire night to digest it.
Slowly, another day passed. When night fell, a thin crescent moon hung in the sky.
It was the second day of the month, so the Yin Qi had slightly decreased. A mist gathered and Yi Yun's body seemed to be frozen by frost. His hair and eyebrows were covered in a thin layer of frost.
Slowly, Yi Yun had absorbed 70% of the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's herbal essence.
And the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's spiritual energy had brought unimaginable benefits to Yi Yun's soul.
Yi Yun could clearly feel that his soul was expanding and expanding! His spiritual energy was constantly rising!
As long as Yi Yun willed it, his mind would produce all sorts of illusions. Yi Yun even had a feeling that if he wanted to, he could let these illusions fly out of his soul and affect others!
It was as if the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's ability to bewitch people and produce illusions had been inherited by Yi Yun!
The second night passed in this manner.
On the morning of the third day, Yi Yun, who had been meditating, suddenly heard a sound from his soul. It was as if something had broken.
Following that, he suddenly felt a strong suction force. His spiritual energy, blood and bone marrow were all pulled by this suction force. Without warning, they gathered in between his eyebrows!
It was as if his blood and even his soul were being sucked out. Yi Yun was shocked!
What was going on?
Blood, bone marrow and soul gathered in between his eyebrows, as if something was being nurtured there.
What followed was an intense pain. Yi Yun felt as if someone had used an awl to stab into between his eyebrows. It was constantly spinning and stabbing!
It was too painful!
Yi Yun's forehead was covered in cold sweat. The loss of control of his blood made him panic.
Yi Yun interfaced his spiritual energy with the Purple Crystal in a bid to stabilize the restless blood and energy in his body. But at this moment, Yi Yun suddenly "saw" the blood and soul that had gathered in between his eyebrows slowly condense into something that looked like a bead.
This bead was covered in blood. It was connected to the surrounding meridians and blood vessels, forming an inseparable whole.
When this bead appeared, the feeling of his blood and energy being sucked out disappeared. The pain also abruptly lessened.
Everything returned to normal. The only change was that there was a small bead in between Yi Yun's eyebrows.
Oh? What is this?
