This icy-blue light dot took up a small proportion, but it made Yi Yun feel an inexplicable chill.
Yi Yun was familiar with this chill. Back when he broke through to the Vigor realm, he had felt this chill the first time he saw the tribe's able-bodied men refining the desolate bones.
The icy blue specks of light floated silently in the sky like ghosts.
Occasionally, a light dot would leave the cauldron and slowly fly in all directions. Then, it would enter the body of one of the able-bodied men.
Like a snowflake falling into water, the speck of light disappeared just like that.
In Yi Yun's vision, he could no longer see the energy light dot. It seemed to have been absorbed by the able-bodied man's body.
Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely realized that this icy-blue light dot was the cause of the able-bodied man's Typhoid.
He quietly observed for a while and noticed that from time to time, the icy-blue light dots would fly out and enter the able-bodied man's body. These able-bodied men were busy burning firewood and did not realize it.
Yi Yun was more and more certain of his guess. The purplish-red energy would not automatically enter a person's body. Instead, it would stay in the "Li Fire Water".
It seemed that the desolate bone had two types of energy. One was beneficial to the human body, allowing a person to be reborn and break through the next realm. The other was the icy-blue energy that could kill without leaving a trace!
Energy being poisonous sounded mysterious, but it was not that strange.
On Earth, there were many kinds of "poisonous" energy. Not to mention anything else, sunlight was "poisonous". It could only be born after it was filtered and absorbed by the atmosphere. Otherwise, if the human body was directly exposed to sunlight in space, it would die very quickly.
And the most poisonous substances on Earth were all "poisonous" energy. For example, the radioactive element polonium. It had killed Arafat, who often appeared on the news.
If polonium was used to kill people, a little more than a gram could kill ten million people. A few hundred grams of polonium could kill everyone on Earth. This was a million times more poisonous than the famous polonium.
Yi Yun believed that these blue dots of light had similar energy properties. Perhaps it was not appropriate to describe it as "poisonous", but it could kill.
Just like how humans on Earth would suffer from cancer, ulcers and other diseases after being exposed to radiation, in the vast wilderness, once the cold energy of the desolate bones entered the body, people would similarly suffer from a strange disease like "typhoid", and die.
"Isn't it dangerous for me to stand here?" Realizing this, Yi Yun's expression turned ugly. He wasn't guarding a cauldron, he was guarding a nuclear reactor!
Thinking about it carefully, many things in this world looked completely different from Earth, but there were similarities.
In terms of energy alone, the most powerful energy on Earth could be used to make atomic bombs and nuclear power generation.
And the most powerful energy here could be used to create peerless experts!
Those experts could also overturn mountains and seas, and destroy a city with a flip of their hands!
These two types of energy could create the most terrifying destruction, and if they were not used properly, they would be poisonous to ordinary people!
Fortunately, Yi Yun had a treasure that could control this world's energy – the Purple Crystal.
"Let's hope the Purple Crystal can deal with this energy …"
Yi Yun attempted to use the Purple Crystal to absorb the blue dots of light. Since the blue dots of light appeared in his field of vision, it should be absorbed by the Purple Crystal …
But when he really absorbed it, Yi Yun found that the effect was not obvious.
The Purple Crystal could indeed absorb the blue dots of light, but the absorption speed was very slow. It was not as easy as absorbing the purplish-red dots of light.
When the first blue dot of light was absorbed by Yi Yun, Yi Yun took a deep breath and carefully reached out his hand. His heart was beating like a drum. But taking a step back, even if the Purple Crystal could not absorb this energy, he would only be hit by a dot of light, and would not die immediately.
The blue dot of light entered Yi Yun's body.
Yi Yun could clearly feel that the dot of light was like an ice crystal flying into his fingertips, and then into his blood vessels.
"It's so cold!"
This was Yi Yun's first feeling. It was like a naughty child had stuffed an ice shard into his collar in the middle of winter.
But strangely, he felt it strongly, but the able-bodied men did not feel it. Their physiques were not as good as his, so they could not withstand the cold better than him.
It seemed like their senses were slow, and they could not feel the biting chill. But their bodies could not lie. Under the invasion of the frost toxin, they would slowly lose their vitality. If not for the red elixir given to them by the upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan, they would probably be dead by now.
The moment the blue dot of light entered his body, Yi Yun had been tracking it. It was absorbed by the Purple Crystal, and finally, it was absorbed by the Purple Crystal, turning into a pure energy flow that entered Yi Yun's blood.
When the energy returned to Yi Yun's body, the bone-chilling chill had disappeared. It was replaced with a familiar chill that Yi Yun felt as it flowed throughout his body.
It was like a mountain spring washing his body, extremely comfortable.
This made Yi Yun sigh. He did not know what grade of treasure the Purple Crystal was. Even the energy that was harmful to the human body, be it the ice blue dot of light in the desolate bones or the Yuan Qi emitted by Lian Chengyu, the Purple Crystal could absorb it. It could even convert it into the most ordinary but purest form of energy to nourish his body.
Actually, Yi Yun did not know that in the vast wilderness, there were many desolate bones that were harmful to the human body. The Frost Python desolate bones were one of the lower grade ones. A low-ranked Desolate Heaven Master would be able to resolve it. To the Purple Crystal, resolving this level of toxicity was nothing.
"Kid, what are you doing!?"
As Yi Yun was studying the difference between the two types of energy in the desolate bones, he suddenly heard a man shout at him. In the eyes of others, Yi Yun had been in a daze for a while.
The able-bodied man, who wanted to be the "leader" of the group, could not stand Yi Yun's lazy behavior.
"Uh …" Yi Yun gave a silly smile, "Sorry Uncle, this axe is too heavy …"
"Hmph!" The able-bodied man looked as if he already knew Yi Yun would not be able to do it. He said indignantly, "I really don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. To let a kid like you refine the desolate bones, aren't you holding me back!? My disappointing son, Bighead, is about the same age as you, but he's twice as strong as you! "
Ignoring Yi Yun's age, even among children his age, Yi Yun's body was thin and weak, and his strength was on the weaker side.
In the Great Wilderness, people worshipped the strong. Those rough, dark-skinned, burly men were actually proud of them.
People like Yi Yun, who had delicate looks and tender skin, belonged to the "sickly invalid" category. They were not favored.
"I'm really sorry Uncle. I've not only held you back, I've even pulled your balls. In the future, I'll try my best to do better."
Yi Yun still gave a silly smile. The able-bodied man was good at work, but his reaction was slow, so he did not understand what Yi Yun was saying. He grunted and went back to work while cursing.
Yi Yun leisurely chopped the firewood. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he sped up his speed. A single firewood … Well, he had to chop eight to ten times, which would take him five minutes to chop it open.
He had to match his status.
But at the same time, no one noticed that the churning purplish-red energy in the cauldron flew towards Yi Yun like swallows flying into his arms.
As for the icy blue energy, Yi Yun tried his best to absorb it. Yi Yun felt that if he could absorb the blue energy, the surrounding able-bodied men would not be killed by the energy.
Unfortunately, the Purple Crystal's absorption of the icy blue energy was not significant. A small amount of the energy still seeped into the bodies of the able-bodied men.
Seeing this scene, Yi Yun sighed. After all, although these people were not likeable, they did not deserve to die. But he could not save them.
If the truth was made public, not only would these able-bodied men not believe him, they might even report him to Lian Chengyu for spreading rumors and inciting the people to rebel.
These people would definitely do it. When that happened, Yi Yun's outcome could only be described as "Ha ha".
In the vast wilderness, the weak had to face their own hardships. This was something that could not be helped.
Just like pigs, cows and sheep, they did not do anything wrong, but were slaughtered by humans.
The reason was because they were incompetent. And in the vast wilderness, being incompetent was a mistake! Being incompetent meant being unable to decide one's own fate. Being incompetent meant being at the mercy of others!
