It could be said that its value was comparable to a city… but after Yi Yun tortured Shen Tu Nantian, this valuable relic box came into Yi Yun’s hands.
With the Everlasting Purple Gold medicine box, the herbal essence of the red lotus would not dissipate in any way.
Yi Yun took a deep breath and opened the medicine box.
A dark red beam immediately escaped.
In the dark cave, the red lotus was like a bonfire.
Yi Yun was stirred by this. The red lotus was quietly lying inside the medicine box’s silk satin. Every petal looked like a sculpted red crystal. The veins on its surface were clear and a pale gold color flowed through them.
Its roots were like jade and like glass as well. In the darkness, it seemed even more colorful.
After the red lotus appeared, the entire cave’s temperature increased. The surrounding moist soil was also quickly baked dry.
After some hesitation, he finally closed the Everlasting Purple Gold medicine box. The red lotus was intact, and he could not bear eating it.
He decided to first eat the red lotus’ lotus seeds.
To the present Yi Yun, a tiny portion of a treasure of this grade was sufficient for his absorption.
With a flip of his right hand, Yi Yun took the lotus seeds he extracted from the strange birds’ nest out of his interspatial ring. These lotus seeds had been soaked in desolate beasts’ hearts’ blood for an unknown period of time. The pure Yang energy in them could cause an awakening of the Golden Crow’s bloodline in the three-legged strange bird.
A treasure of this grade could cause such a heaven-defying effect on such a powerful desolate beast, so for Yi Yun, the benefits that would come out of it were unimaginable!
“This time, I wonder to what realm my strength will grow to… ”
As Yi Yun looked at the lotus seed that was full of Yuan Qi, he breathed out lightly. He was not in a hurry to swallow the lotus seed. Instead, he first began to circulate the “Tai Ah Sacred Technique”.
Pure Yang Yuan Qi flowed in Yi Yun’s meridians. As Yi Yun’s aura increased layer by layer, the Tai Ah Sacred Technique began to complete one circulation after another. The Tang Valley, Fusang phantom image appeared behind Yi Yun. His Golden Crow Totem also appeared as it flickered behind Yi Yun.
All of the energy fluctuations were isolated by the Purple Crystal.
The current Yi Yun was like a piece of jade glowing in the dark while hidden deep in the mountains.
With everything prepared, and with a thought, Yi Yun pulled a lotus seed with his Yuan Qi and put it in his mouth.
The moment the lotus seed entered his mouth, it immediately became a pure source of pure Yang Yuan Qi.
This feeling was like he had swallowed a big gulp of pure Yang lava.
The lava went down Yi Yun’s mouth, into his throat, before flowing to all corners of his body!
The surface of Yi Yun’s skin also became red like fire suddenly!
His meridians began to emerge under his skin as they sparkled with red or gold fiery lights.
Two flashes of reddish-gold lights appeared at the bottom of Yi Yun’s eyes. His present appearance looked like his body would spontaneously go up in flames at any moment, reducing him to ashes.
The pure Yang Yuan Qi was too pure! Too forceful!
“Weng— Weng—”
The pure Yang Yuan Qi was surging like an inferno, it began to burn Yi Yun’s body.
Yi Yun was like a sword placed in an inferno, turning red from the heat!
Yi Yun endured the violent pure Yang energy. The sweat that came out of his body immediately evaporated. His lips slowly cracked from dryness, but his eyes revealed that of excitement.
The feeling of being burned by pure Yang flames was excruciating, but it was also a very joyful experience!
It was like drinking a glass of hard liquor. If it burned, then let it burn fiercely. And Yi Yun wanted to use this fierce fire to refine himself into a good sword!
Yi Yun did not protect his Dantian. Instead, he was absorbing the pure Yang energy constantly and letting it burn.
Yi Yun’s meridians were constantly parched and they were even on the brink of breaking. Meridians were very important to a warrior in their strive towards martial arts. Once they were damaged, it was very hard for them to recover. It was difficult to heal them even if all sorts of treasures were consumed, hence, warriors were like birds who treasured their feathers in the same way they cherished their meridians.
However, now, Yi Yun was using such a brutal method to burn them!
The pain in his meridians made Yi Yun’s mouth twitch. One meridian after another was burned and it was a shocking sight.
Yi Yun clenched his fist and gasped heavily. It was still not enough!
He opened his mouth and with a flick of his fingers, the second blood lotus seed entered his mouth!
For a treasured sword to be refined, it had to go through thousands of stages of tempering. Stopping midway would fall short of completion!
Before finishing absorbing the first wave of energy, the second wave of energy surged over like a tidal wave.
