Chapter 149: Primordial God Blood Fruit (3)
Yun Fei could also be considered a form of Heavenly Treasure, even at this moment. It would not surprise me in the least if the environment of this room mostly because of the presence of Yun Fei would be the most toxic place on this entire continent. At the very least, it is possibly the most toxic environment in this kingdom.
The purple Yin flames and the venom of the snake when combined have the capacity to destroy the physical body and the spiritual vessel; even spending an hour in this room, without touching Yun Fei, is likely enough to kill anyone under the Core Formation realm. Touching Yun Fei, on the other hand, whether they are in the Core Formation realm or the Nascent Soul, they would most likely die on the spot.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
Yun Feis original poison could be considered timid and tame, such that touching the Yin flames would immediately reverse ones cultivation and obliterate the spiritual veins, but it would show very little physical evidence of such poisoning.
The snakes venom, however, is terrifying. Even a small dose would be enough to melt a persons organs within a breaths time and transform them into a pile of matter that would not even be fit for recycling.
Fortunately, I am made of inorganic materials, and therefore, the snakes venom has no effect on them and I can handle it with no danger. That is also precisely why combining the venom with my lifeblood albeit tiny amounts of it results in a mixture that doesnt react intensely with Yun Feis body either, which is doubly so fortunate as I have injected enough venom into her internal system to kill a thousand people ten times over.
The amount of venom I chose is to precisely match the amount of Yin-attribute in the opposing poison and neutralize it, even though this results in wildly different toxicity parameters.
When the snake venom enters her internal system, it immediately pulls at the dark mist swirling in Yun Feis dantian, and even attacks the root of the issue the spiritual roots themselves.
The snake venom, rather than attacking Yun Feis physical and spiritual vessel, attacks the competing poison, in the process leaving a thin film of pulsing blackness on Yun Feis already blackened spiritual veins. This thin film of blackness is a result of my lifeblood leaving a protective and inorganic layer of material on Yun Feis spiritual veins as if trying to eradicate her Physique and replace it with my own.
When Lan Xiaohui consumed my lifeblood half my lifespans worth of it this is precisely what happened to Lan Xiaohuis Physique. However, even Lan Xiaohuis change would not be enough to withstand this amount of venom or poison, nor did her blood or spiritual veins become inorganic like mine.
Even if I had a hundred years worth of lifespan, it would not be enough to fundamentally change Yun Fei to such a degree that she would become immune to such inconveniences, as impurities or toxic materials.
However, this small amount is enough to deliver a package of snake venom that will not immediately kill her, but instead allow her to slowly absorb the venom into her body and spiritual vessel.
So long as the Yin-attribute poison remains in her system, the snake venom should not kill her.
At this stage, I circulate the mixture of poisons and essence through Yun Feis body to allow it to absorb, while refining the impurities with my refining flame.
With a motion of her hand, I float to Lan Xiaohuis side and we depart the room.
Outside, Wu Yulan waits for Lan Xiaohui and when we emerge through the doorway, she approaches.
How did it go? she asks.
The treatment was a success, I tell both of them. If I give her a dose of venom every week, I can maintain her life for six to twelve months. After this, no amount of venom will be able to suppress the Yin poison.
Lan Xiaohuis eyes are hopeful, even though her expression is one of concern and sadness.
Then what do we do after that? Wu Yulan asks, her tone surprisingly respectful as she addresses me specifically.
It is no coincidence that all of the materials Lady Yue requested have the ability to strengthen, reshape or rebuild the spiritual roots, I explain. For Yun Fei to live, she either has to sever her mortal body and rebuild her spiritual vessel after crossing into the Nihility realm, or to destroy and rebuild her spiritual roots.
Judging by their expressions, both of these options are equally impossible. What is a medicine that can rebuild spiritual roots? It is a heaven-defying treasure. If someone with deformed or below average spiritual roots had to pick between obtaining me or medicine that could restore their spiritual roots, they would naturally pick the medicine.
Wu Yulan is the first one to recover from the disappointment and the hopelessness of the situation and takes Lan Xiaohuis hand. Xuelian, there is still hope. We have at least six months to think of a way.
Lan Xiaohui nods, her lips curving into a slight smile. You are right, she says.
Lets not waste any more time, Wu Yulan says, her tone strangely mellow and affectionate shy even. Lets enter the Core Formation realm together, and explore the Forbidden Lands.
Lan Xiaohuis cheeks redden slightly, understanding what Wu Yulan is implying, and then she nods her head. A finger rises to tangle into her hair. If we cultivate together with Yaoyue, it shouldnt take very long.
To this, Wu Yulan nods, her gaze not daring to rise to meet Lan Xiaohuis.
