Perhaps This Is the Contrast!

["Three Veins Transformation Technique": Originating from the "Complete Record of Endless Techniques: Transformation into Beasts" chapter, this is a method to transform living beings into beasts through their three meridians, creating Flesh Beast Yuan Replenishing Stones. It's a technique to extend one's lifespan by proxy, until one's lifespan is complete.

Usage Cost: Each use will result in a certain loss of lifespan. Prolonged use of this technique will cause permanent damage to one's own three meridians, leading to the decay of the physical body, which is irreversible and cannot be exchanged.

Status: Purifiable!]

In the end, Black Brow honestly handed over the "Three Veins Transformation Technique" and also released Pan Yu from her seal.

Since Pan Yu was sealed as a living body not long ago, her flesh and blood had not yet fully fused with the pressure-releasing stone, so her seal could still be removed.

The living bodies within the other three Flesh Beast Yuan Replenishing Stones were not as fortunate.

And as a novice who was still in the Resonance Stage and had not yet stepped into the False Eater Realm, Pan Yu's sealed Flesh Beast Yuan Replenishing Stone was only the lowest grade, a Ding-grade Vitality Replenishing Stone, which could only be used by cultivators in the early stages of the False Eater Realm.

It could only be said that Black Brow was blinded by greed.

For the sake of a mere Ding-grade Vitality Replenishing Stone, he dared to take such a risk during the Communal Feast Convention.

However, he couldn't be entirely blamed. After all, who could have imagined that besides him, someone else would know about the Three Veins Transformation Technique and Flesh Beast Yuan Replenishing Stones?

When Pan Yu was unsealed and released, fortunately, her flesh and blood appearance was not significantly affected. Her physical body was still in an unstable state, and her consciousness had fallen into a deep sleep, requiring some time to awaken. Pan Shi would have to take her to rest and recover.

As for Black Brow, Yang An promised to let him go, but whether others would let him go was unknown.

This fellow was eventually taken away by the Muckworm Child. Clearly, as the host of the Communal Feast Convention, Mother Diviner True Person would not overlook such a rule-breaking act.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before another Muckworm Child appeared on Golden Egg Jade Qiong Island, and no one would care about his original identity.

After dealing with this matter, Yang An pocketed the newly acquired technique and the three Flesh Beast Yuan Replenishing Stones.

The Three Veins Transformation Technique was a very cruel technique, and its usage cost was extremely high. However, the mere fact that it could steal the lifespan of others was enough to make many cultivators obsessed, and Black Brow was a typical example.

The Flesh Beast Yuan Replenishing Stones produced by this method were also marvelous items. They could convert living bodies into magical power to supplement the user's consumption. Anyone could use them, and they might even become addictive.

This was exactly what Yang An needed. Without any cost, this method and the Vitality Replenishing Stones would be of great use to him. Perhaps he wouldn't have to worry about magical power consumption anymore.

He didn't consider himself a pure person, but it also depended on who the technique was used on. Towards enemies, Yang An would never show mercy.

Having been in this world for so many days, if he had harbored any blind hope before, then Black Brow's actions just now had certainly taught him a lesson.

This world was very dangerous, and no one could be fully trusted, not even those closest to you. No one could predict what these people might do.

After all, under various strange and bizarre costs, not everyone could bear them completely. It was perfectly normal to take risks for one's own benefit.

This was the true depiction of this world!

If he didn't possess a special purification ability, he would probably have become one of them, without exception.

Therefore, facing this world squarely was the most feasible way to ensure his own safety.

Black Brow was escorted away by the Muckworm Child, Pan Shi took Pan Yu to the Muckworm Child's resting place to recuperate, and Yang An adjusted his mood, looking at the lively Communal Feast Convention, preparing to continue shopping.

But just as he was about to look for his next target, and had just taken a step, the previously clamorous crowd suddenly fell silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

"Mother Diviner True Person has arrived!"

As the surrounding children simultaneously shouted their thunderous greetings, a figure suddenly appeared from the sky and slowly descended.

If one ignored the visually striking, ugly lower half, where countless flesh eggs were piled together like a long skirt, then looking only at the upper body, she was undoubtedly a peerless beauty, whose every frown and smile was soul-stirring.

Seeing Mother Diviner True Person appear, this meant that the trading time of the Communal Feast Convention had officially ended, and the main event of the Communal Feast Convention was about to begin.

Countless cultivators who had come here, regardless of gender, age, or strange appearance, all looked up at the figure with intoxicated gazes, their eyes filled with infatuation.

This is too ostentatious!

Yang An couldn't help but complain inwardly.

He knew that these people would show such expressions because they had been influenced by the Illusionary Insect Corpse.

In his eyes, it was the real Mother Diviner True Person, but in the eyes of others, she was a perfect goddess.

Perhaps this was the contrast.

As Mother Diviner True Person finally landed on a high platform that had been set up by the children at some point, the surrounding cultivators, guided by the children, retreated, forming an open space.

From behind, everyone heard the commotion and turned to look. Dozens of children were carrying a colossal creature, which slowly approached and finally appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was the massive corpse of a Flood Dragon Demon, nearly thirty feet long, covered in black scales from head to tail. Its limbs and claws were as large as a person, and its head alone was larger than a carriage.

Even though the Flood Dragon Demon was now a dead thing, its ferocious, long body still exuded an inexplicable residual power, which was awe-inspiring.

This was at least a Flood Dragon Demon of the Viscera Stone Realm!

Mother Diviner True Person was truly making a grand gesture!

If one could get even a small portion of its flesh, it would be enough to supplement the cultivation of a cultivator in the Origin Feeder Realm for at least a month, and it would take a cultivator in the False Eater Realm a long time to digest.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were filled with covetousness, unable to look away from the Flood Dragon Demon's corpse. If Mother Diviner True Person hadn't been present, someone would have already rushed forward impulsively.

On the other hand, Yang An's reaction to the so-called Flood Dragon Demon corpse was completely different from everyone else's.

He felt nauseous, and goosebumps rose all over his body. He couldn't understand how anyone could have an appetite for this thing.

Between the fine scales, countless thumb-sized, bulging milky-white flesh nodules crawled, looking like festering boils that could rupture and ooze pus at any moment.

Clearly, the Flood Dragon Demon's corpse had been completely taken over by those nodules; it was rotten on the inside despite its outwardly beautiful appearance.

The seemingly dead body was still incredibly imposing, but in reality, its flesh and blood had likely long since been replaced by those disgusting tumors, making it ten times more rotten.

Yang An knew that in the eyes of these people, the Flood Dragon Demon's physical body was probably perfectly normal; the influence of the Illusionary Insect Corpse was truly terrifying.

He would never eat such a thing, no matter what. Even if there was some price he could pay to purify it, he wouldn't eat it. It was too disgusting.

He glanced around. No one was paying attention to him; everyone's focus was entirely on the Flood Dragon Demon's physical body.

Yang An slowly retreated. After moving away from the crowd, he headed towards the cave where he had previously settled.

He was willing to trade, but he would skip the communal feast. He was determined not to participate in any subsequent events.

Once he was far enough away that no one could see him, Yang An started to sprint, planning to find his senior siblings Pan Shi and Pan Yu.

He wondered if Pan Yu had woken up yet.

As he thought this, Yang An's pace quickened, intending to persuade Pan Shi not to get involved in the commotion.

But just as he was getting close to the cave, with less than a hundred paces left, in a moment of distraction, Yang An suddenly stopped.

It had been broad daylight moments ago, but suddenly he was plunged into darkness, with a cave wall abruptly blocking his path, preventing him from taking another step forward.

Crunch... crunch...

Accompanied by a chewing sound and a low, strange laugh coming from behind Yang An, his body stiffened. As if realizing something, he abruptly turned around.

He saw that behind him, on a large stone platform, various bright red meats were laid out. The entire cave was filled with a thick scent of blood, and behind the platform sat a slightly hunched figure.

Crunch... crunch...

In the dim light, the Crane Head, as large as a human head, stopped chewing and suddenly looked up at Yang An with a peculiar expression.

"You little fellow, you've reached the False Eater Realm in such a short time without a sound!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Old man, it seems we've taken in a remarkable new disciple."
